Chapter 167 Farewell for three months, the past is not as good as the present 【 Three shifts · Request for pre-order all pre-orders 】 (Ch 167)

“Here are the two sets of data you requested. The first set is about the income and expenditure of the Kaguya elves.
First of all, the monthly maintenance cost of the Royal Guard Fleet is currently estimated at 70 million units of crystal ore per year, accounting for 2% of the total annual output value, if no new starships are commissioned.
Because many of the parts that need to be replaced and maintained for starships cannot be produced and provided by our own factories, it costs a lot of money to purchase them. “Qiao Rongrong explained, and then began to talk about other data one by one.
Sun He took a quick look and roughly saw the future financial structure of the entire Hyuga elves from a data table.
50%: The “protection fee” of the Qingyuan Fleet.
20%: Budget for people’s daily life.
10%: Resource budget of the royal family and nobles in each territory.
2%: Costs for maintenance of starships of the Royal Guard Fleet and treatment of soldiers.
5%: Maintenance funds for the basic troops in each territory.
7%: Other remaining budget expenses.
It is this table that reflects the estimated future income and expenditure of the Kaguya elves. In the end, there may be a surplus of about 6% each year, which is about 100 to 200 million units of crystal ore.
It may seem like a lot.
However, there is one point missing, and that is the issue of the elimination and replacement of the starships of the Royal Guard Fleet in the future.
Those elf starships can still be used now, but in the future, they will definitely be eliminated one after another.
And after getting rid of them, you always have to buy new ones.
According to the agreement between the Royal Guard Fleet and the Qingyuan Fleet, the Royal Guard Fleet is not allowed to add new starships without Sun He’s permission.
If you want to buy it, you have to go from the Qingyuan Fleet.
By then, if Sun He sells him a starship for millions or tens of millions of units of crystal ore, wouldn’t that squeeze out the last bit of profit of the Hyuga elves?
As long as this virtuous cycle continues, the Kaguya elves will always be under the control of the Qingyuan Fleet!
“Remember to compile the financial data of the Kaguya elves every year. The profit and loss values ​​must not exceed 5%, and it is best to control them within 3%.
The royal fund reserves of the Huiye elves cannot exceed 1 billion units of crystal ore.” Sun He looked at Qiao Rongrong and reminded her.
Qiao Rongrong understood what Commander Sun He meant, and she nodded to indicate that she had remembered it.
Sun He looked at another set of data, which was the monthly expenditure of the Qingyuan Fleet.
[Monthly income of Qingyuan Fleet]: 130 million units of crystal ore [Malthus Kingdom]: 3.5 million units of crystal ore/month [Hyuga Elves]: 125 million units of crystal ore/month [Qingyuan Fleet starship maintenance and supply costs and female soldiers’ benefits and meal costs]: 1.6 million units of crystal ore/month “This profit margin is quite large!” Sun He raised the corner of his mouth.
But Qiao Rongrong next to him poured cold water on him: “Although this is what the account shows, Commander, don’t forget your current shipbuilding speed.
As well as the battle consumption, for example, in the previous battle, just one battle consumed nearly one million units of crystal ore, and this was when we won a great victory. ”
Sun He rubbed his chin awkwardly. In fact, it was indeed like that.
“If we allow the current giant turtle-class interstellar industrial ships with dedicated production lines to continue to be produced, how many starships will be completed each month and how much raw materials will be consumed?” Sun He asked.
Qiao Rongrong quickly retrieved a string of data.
“Based on our current monthly raw material acquisition situation, if there is no major fluctuation due to the war, we currently have 100 Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ships in service, of which 85 have built dedicated production lines.
These 85 Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ships are produced non-stop every month and are expected to consume 30 million units of crystal ore.
At the same time, at least 200 starships will be completed every month, including about 10 combat-type T3 starships.”
200 starships!
Sun He took a deep breath. This meant that Sun He could complete a legion-level fleet in just two months!
Even in this situation, Sun He still had a surplus of 100 million yuan in his monthly accounts.
Too much money and nowhere to spend it?
In theory, this seems to be the case, but there is a problem that has not been statistically analyzed.
That is, most of the starships being built now are for export.
Although Sun He will also serve in the Qingyuan fleet on some starships, that level is already not enough.
For example, the T2 Griffin-class heavy star destroyer and the quasi-T3 Storm-class light star battlecruiser.
In addition, the T2 Giant Shield-class heavy interstellar frigate and the T2 Death Storm-class heavy interstellar missile ship would also be eliminated if they were not matched with their cost-effective tactical systems.
Sun He’s next step in the construction of the Qingyuan fleet is to popularize T3 starships.
The T4 starship is the flagship and main core combat starship, and the T3 starship is the backbone.
T2 starships will be gradually eliminated.
The Qingyuan fleet built in this way is what Sun He wants.
However, Sun He has not yet obtained the corresponding manufacturing drawings for many types of ships, so he can only use T2 ones instead.
If these T3 starships are built in batches, the consumption will not be as simple as 30 million units of crystal ore.
“The extra raw materials can be stored first. Anyway, the landlord has surplus food, so we don’t have to worry about it.” Sun He liked the feeling of having money in his pocket.
Then you don’t need to count the raw materials with your fingers when you want to build a ship.
Those hard days are over for the Qingyuan Fleet.
With the Kaguya elves as their cash cow, the Qingyuan Fleet is like adding wings to a tiger!
Qiao Rongrong on the side also showed a comfortable smile. She is now gradually letting go of her view on money.
The reason why she acted like a miser in the past was because she was afraid of the hard life and was really worried that Commander Sun He would spend all the money every time, so she tried every means to save money for Commander Sun He.
Now that there is such a huge amount of funds, even if Commander Sun He tries his best to spend it all, he can’t squander it all.
On the one hand, it relies on export starship orders to obtain funds.
On the one hand, they are holding on to the monthly “protection fees” of the Kaguya elves. How can they defeat the enemy so cleanly?
“If that’s the case… then can the number of T2 Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ships be further increased?” Sun He raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hungry look.
Qiao Rongrong rolled her eyes helplessly and said, “Okay.”
Commander Sun He’s spending nature has been stimulated again.
The manufacturing factory for 100 Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ships is not enough, and we are still considering increasing investment here.
“Although I don’t mind you further expanding the number of Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ships, I still hope that you will not affect the current production line for the time being.
After all, the orders from the Northern Fleet still needed to be completed. If too much production was transferred to the production of Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ships, the production in the short term might not be able to keep up.
The delivery of orders before the end of June may be affected.” Qiao Rongrong reminded carefully.
“Then this problem will be your responsibility. Calculate how to expand the number of Giant Turtle-class interstellar industrial ships as much as possible without affecting the production of the original order.
These expanded giant turtle-class interstellar industrial ships are all equipped with production lines for T3 Wind Walker-class light interstellar cruisers and T3 Tyrant-class heavy interstellar battleships, and are fully invested in the production of T3 Phoenix-class aircraft carriers. “Sun He said with a smile.
It would be great if the number of T3 starships completed could reach 100 per month.
However, this estimate is now impossible to achieve.
Because according to the construction cost of a T3 Tyrant-class heavy interstellar battleship, one ship requires 1.5 million units of crystal ore, and if there are 100 ships, that would be 150 million units of crystal ore.
Even with the huge income of the Qingyuan Fleet now, it is still in excess.
“I understand. I’ll arrange it.” Qiao Rongrong said from the side.
Sun He crossed his legs and said, “Now that the matter of the Kaguya elves has been settled, we should turn our attention back to the Galactic Alliance.”
Sun He raised the corner of his mouth, revealing an expression as if he had thought of something.
“I wonder if those people from the Golden Mask Church have missed me during this period.”
After hearing what the commander said, Qiao Rongrong at the side began to mourn for the Golden Face Church and the three religious forces that were allied with the Golden Face Church.
I wonder if they have learned the latest information about the Kaguya elves.
It is estimated that due to the Cold War situation of the Galactic Alliance, there will be great problems in information transmission and there will be great delays in timeliness.
Perhaps not knowing is also the greatest kindness to them.
Otherwise, they would not be able to sleep every day.
After all, even if they knew, they couldn’t change anything.
~~~
Afterwards, the matter regarding the Kaguya elves was finalized.
Sun He led the Qingyuan fleet back to the temporary base in the Kingdom of Malthus. Naturally, he took Queen Sheryl, the chief engineer, with him to continue working for him.
The affairs of the Kaguya elves are fully under the charge of Judy, the commander of the royal guard fleet.
In the blink of an eye, it was early April.
The starship manufacturing order that Sun He arranged for himself is basically completed.
In the past few days, the size of the Qingyuan Fleet has been further increased, and a large number of starships are serving in the Qingyuan Fleet.
And it has truly reached the scale of a standardized legion-level fleet.
On this day, several guests also visited the Qingyuan Fleet.
These are Catherine from the Northern Fleet, Yan Qianqian from the Nine-headed Bird Family and their group.
With the help of the Halo-class starship’s ‘mobile star gate’, Catherine, Yan Qianqian and others can continue to move forward even in the current situation where they have lost the star gate as a means of transportation.
It is also possible to reach the galaxy where the Qingyuan Fleet is located outside the Southern Region galaxy within one day.
Although the round trip ticket price is a bit expensive.
But for Admiral Catherine, it was still worth it.
Considering the safety of space jumping and not affecting the daily order of the Qingyuan Fleet itself, Catherine’s visiting fleet did not jump directly into the base where the Qingyuan Fleet was located.
Instead, it appeared in a star field a certain distance outside the Qingyuan Fleet Base, and then slowly drove towards the Qingyuan Fleet Base.
T3 Tulip-class medium interstellar cruiser·Bridge “I don’t know why, but after leaving the Northern Galaxy and coming to the territory controlled by the Qingyuan Fleet, I have a very comfortable sense of security.” Admiral Catherine sat in the captain’s chair with obvious fatigue in her eyes.
Although there was no harassment from alien Zerg during this period, the friction between the major forces was in a cold war state.
But Admiral Catherine’s nerves were still tense. She never relaxed for a moment in the past three months.
“After all, the current Galactic Alliance is like a deep ocean that is calm on the surface but turbulent underneath. No one knows when it will become turbulent.” Yan Qianqian also sighed.
Because of the current Cold War situation, interstellar trade has become very difficult.
In the past quarter, the Nine-headed Bird family’s trade volume dropped by nearly half year-on-year.
After all, the Nine-headed Bird family originally relied on the big name of the Catherine family to protect themselves there.
Now that the Catherine family is on the decline, the reputation of the Nine-headed Bird family has also fallen to the extreme.
“I heard that more than half of your trade volume this quarter was taken away by the Rothschild family?” Admiral Catherine looked at Yan Qianqian.
Yan Qianqian shook her head helplessly: “Right now, the Rothschild family and the Scarlet Rose are gaining momentum. Other forces are more willing to do business with them.”
“I’m sorry, this is because of the situation in Catherine’s family that has implicated you.” Admiral Catherine said apologetically.
Yan Qianqian waved her hands hurriedly: “No, no. How can you say that? Without the care of the Ekaterina family and Admiral Catherine, our Nine-headed Bird family would not have been able to prosper.
I believe Admiral Catherine will be able to lead the Catherine family to rise again!”
After hearing Yan Qianqian’s words, Catherine just smiled and didn’t say anything more on this topic.
In Catherine’s heart.
If it weren’t for the help of the Qingyuan Fleet, the Northern Fleet and the Ekaterina Family would have disappeared on the Northern Defense Line long ago.
“We haven’t seen the Qingyuan Fleet and Mr. Sun He for almost three months.
I don’t know how Mr. Sun He is handling the situation of the Kaguya elves.” Catherine was a little curious and expectant.
Regarding the affairs of the Kaguya elves, although the Qingyuan Fleet has returned, it has been kept confidential and not disclosed to the outside world.
Sun He is still clear about the concept of low-key development.
“Report, we are about to enter the temporary base of the Qingyuan Fleet.” Deputy Captain Carol reported at this time.
Kathryn looked up at a meteorite belt in the distance outside the bridge window.
After bypassing this asteroid belt, they will be able to see the Qingyuan fleet.
The meteorite belt gradually moved away from everyone’s sight.
What appeared on the bridge window was an incredible scene.
There are only a few planets in a vast star field.
But it has a fleet of starships that is huge in scale and astonishingly large in number!
In the very center is the largest Genesis-class starship, and in an area next to it, neatly-organized starship industrial ships are busy working.
At a cursory glance, there are probably hundreds of ships.
Transport ships carrying spare parts and raw materials are constantly shuttling back and forth in the traffic.
Then in another area there are a large number of combat starships parked.
Among them, the most eye-catching are the T3 Phoenix-class aircraft carrier starship, the T3 Tyrant-class heavy interstellar battleship and another starship with a hull design that gives a sense of lightness and dynamism but has never been seen before.
And at a rough glance, there are at least nearly four hundred starships in this star field!
“This…this…only three months have passed?” Admiral Catherine swallowed, not hiding her shock at all.
