Chapter 1,284 'Walan Star Destroyer' Space Fortress
Compared with Capecchi's latest generation standard space fortress, the "Fairy Dragon" type space fortress has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Capecchi's new generation standard space fortress may be slightly better in terms of main gun attack power, but the "Fairy Dragon" type space fortress of the Beren Empire has longer battery life and higher protection.
And in the fields of defense and outer armor, many special elemental mysteries have been adopted.
In the opinion of old man Piton, the overall performance is slightly higher than Capecchi's standard space fortress.
More importantly, if Thane really had the means to purchase a "Fairy Dragon" space fortress in the Beren Empire, he would have spent less money.
Because the "Fairy Dragon" type space fortress of the Beren Empire is aimed at all knights and magicians of level four or above in the military, the price is 30% lower than the new generation standard space fortress sold by Capecchi.
Old Man Piton knew that Thain had just established the Holy Tower not long ago, so this could be regarded as saving money for Thain.
After Old Man Piton helped Thain analyze it for a long time, Thain still shook his head regretfully.
If he is really a fourth-level magician who has just built a holy tower and is relatively short of money, the "Fairy Dragon" type space fortress is indeed the most suitable for him.
And Thain does have connections and has a relationship with the military of the Beren Empire.
Apart from anything else, only Thain knew that the Beren Empire had reached two large-scale deals for space fortresses with the black magicians of the Black Realm in the past few hundred years.
If Thane opens his mouth, I believe that the Beren Empire will also give him this face.
"The price is 30% lower than Capecchi's standard space fortress, which means you can buy a 'Fairy Dragon' type space fortress for only 10 million, or even less than 10 million."
"But my budget for purchasing the space fortress this time is between 20 million magic coins and 30 million magic coins."
"Old man, you just need to recommend me a space fortress that meets this price range." Thain said.
In the wizarding civilization, expensive ones are generally good ones.
Driven by the concept of the principle of equivalent transactions, the Wizarding World rarely deceives people when conducting transactions.
Thain's budget was so large that old man Piton couldn't help but raise his head and looked at Thain repeatedly.
"How come you, guy, are always so rich?"
"Is it possible that you are a descendant of a certain master?" Old Man Piton asked strangely. Of course he was joking.
Because he met Thain earlier, and Thain also worked under him for a period of time, old man Piton did not treat Thain as a distinguished fourth-level tower master in many cases, and spoke casually.
A lot.
"This is all the cash I can afford."
"If I really dominate the descendants, I will just buy a special customized space fortress." Thain spread his hands and said.
He thought of the fourth-level knight Ma Nei. When he went on a mission to the world of Hengsha, the space fortress that Ma Nei rode in was a special model fortress.
And judging from what Mane said at the time, the space fortress should also be a customized model, so it has great commemorative significance for him.
Old Man Piton took two puffs of his cigar, took out a crystal ball, flipped over the surface of the crystal ball for a long time, and finally gave Thain a suggestion that suited him.
"Then I suggest you buy the special fortress produced by Capecchi 30,000 years ago - the 'Walan Star Destroyer' space fortress. The current price should be around 19 million magic coins."
"You can try to negotiate the price, maybe it will be cheaper." Old Man Piton said.
"Although it is a special fortress, it was produced 30,000 years ago...could it be that the model is too old?" Thain asked a little strangely.
Of course, it is better to buy the latest space fortress. There is no reason to buy the old model that has been eliminated.
Faced with Thain's question, Old Man Piton laughed twice and asked, "If it is an outdated product that has been eliminated, why is its price higher than the latest standard space fortress?"
"The development of our wizard civilization's space fortress has been stagnant for a long time."
"I used to mainly engage in the design of weapons related to light prism fortresses and war airships, but after I was promoted to level three, I gradually began to dabble in research in the field of space fortress weapons, so I know more."
"The overall performance of the special model space fortress from 30,000 years ago is not inferior to today's latest model standard space fortress, and even surpasses it in many aspects."
"Such as combat power, defense power, ability to jump across space, number of legions carried, etc."
"And I haven't finished speaking yet. In addition to purchasing the 'Valan Star Destroyer' space fortress from Capecchi, I also suggest that after the purchase is completed, you send this special model space fortress to the City of Steel for renovation.
"
"The mechanics in the City of Steel seem to have made new breakthroughs in the field of outer layer alloy armor, including the energy regeneration system..."
"If you spend a few million, they should be able to improve the overall performance of the 'Walan Star Destroyer' space fortress."
"Your final total cost will be more than 20 million magic coins, but the price-performance ratio of the fortress will not be any worse than the 40 million special space fortress." Old Man Piton estimated.
"Of course, the 'Walan Star Destroyer' also has a relatively obvious shortcoming compared with the latest model of standard space fortress."
"That's because it consumes a lot of energy. That's why I suggest you go to the Steel City to renovate it and install an energy regeneration system."
"But, hey, based on what I know about you, you shouldn't be short of the energy needed to maintain the operation of the space fortress, right?" Old Man Piton said with a chuckle.
The issue of energy costs is indeed not a big problem for Thain.
First of all, the Baisha World under his command is a world with relatively abundant energy crystal reserves. Even if it is developed sustainably, maintaining the basic operation of a space fortress should not be a problem.
Secondly, Thain's mentor Lu Lianman has established a relationship with the Purple Crystal World.
Buying a batch of energy crystals at a low price is enough for Thain's space fortress to spend as much as you want.
"Okay, it's up to you!" Thain nodded and once again expressed his sincere thanks to Old Man Piton.
There is a sequence of learning, and there is a specialization in the arts.
Even though Old Man Piton is only a third-level magician, Thain's research insights in the field of space fortresses and other mechanical artifacts are really not as good as his.
After being sincerely complimented by a fourth-level magician, Old Man Piton couldn't help but laugh with pride.
However, before he could laugh for a long time, Thain followed the snake and continued, "I just have some spare money left, so you can also give me the recommended models of light prism fortress, war airship and other fortress tools.
I'll be my advisor, right?"
Old Man Piton's eyes instantly turned into cross-eyes.
Fortunately, Thain was not an ignorant magician. Seeing the change in the old man's demeanor, he hurriedly added, "Of course, I will give you the consultant fee."
Now, Old Piton's face looked a little better.
To be honest, purchasing an entire space fortress, which also involves modification, adjustment, and customization of other sub-level war equipment, is extremely troublesome and energy-consuming.
Even if Old Man Piton only helps Thain with his advice, it is still a big project.
It's not easy for Thane to let old man Piton work in vain.
