Chapter 3258: Completing the Dominator Class Spaceship Group
From a realistic perspective, Thain should probably put a stop to the president's plan.
Because instead of investing funds and technology in other military industry fields where the Icarus Zaibatsu is not yet mature, it is better for Mou Zujin to use all the horsepower to build an army of combat robots.
In that case, when the demon tide crisis comes, the total number of mechanical legions that the Ikaros Zaibatsu can provide to Thane and the wizard civilization will be an extremely exaggerated number.
But Thain finally thought about it and chose to support the chaebol president's grand layout in various military industries.
Because Thain himself has considered that his future mechanical army will not be composed of monotonous intelligent robots and wizard civilization space fortresses.
He should turn his mechanical legion into a combat cluster composed of a mixture of multiple arms, like a technological civilization spaceship group.
More arms means more complementarity.
As a magician who pursues truth, Thane does not want his mechanical army to have obvious shortcomings.
And this Icarus president named Hewson told so much in front of Thain and elaborated on his grand business plan, of course, it was not just to prove his ability to Thain.
He also has another underlying meaning - that is, asking Thane for more financial support, and hoping that Thain can use his position of authority in the wizarding civilization to put pressure on other heavy industry conglomerates in the Gallente Federation.
Obtain more complete manufacturing blueprints for stellar-level cosmic fortresses at a lower cost.
Of course Thain understood Hewson's hint.
"I can inject a magic coin into you as capital so that you can realize your business layout as much as possible."
"But it is difficult for me to put pressure on other chaebols at the administrative level."
"The construction of fortresses above the star level still requires you to think about research and development yourself, or find ways to purchase some technology patents."
"Or when the time is right in the future, I will use other costs to make some transactions with those federal heavy industry conglomerates in exchange for the data you want." Thain said.
After the Gallente Federation War ended, all interests of the Gallente Federation have been almost divided up by the wizarding civilization.
Thain was talking about making deals with other heavy industry chaebols, but in fact, he was referring to other high-level wizard civilizations standing behind them.
Asking for favors from others for no reason, even if they are members of the same civilization, is not easy to handle!
It was like someone suddenly appeared in front of Thane and asked him for all the manufacturing technology of Icarus.
I'm sure Thain won't do it either.
The magicians of the wizarding civilization value knowledge the most.
During the Gallente Federation War, the Federation had a large cosmic fortress that demonstrated dominance-level combat power.
Including today, there should be two fortresses of the current level of the Federation.
The stellar-level cosmic fortress is a large-scale fortress platform second only to the dominator-level fortress.
Even with his eyes closed, Thain knew how complex and sophisticated the craftsmanship of this fortress was.
It's definitely not something he can get by just opening his mouth and selling a favor.
The wizarding civilization is indeed twisted up and down to deal with the demonic crisis, but this does not mean that the wizarding civilization has entered the harmonious society.
Unless Thain can one day reach the height of a civilized leader like Ms. Bev.
You can ask the true spirit masters of other wizarding civilizations for their core mysteries or asset knowledge.
But in fact, even Ms. Bev would never do this.
It is even more impossible for Thane to go to Ms. Bev for help because of this matter.
The several federal heavy industry conglomerates that President Hewson mentioned to Thain are backed by several wizarding civilization forces such as the Western Islands, the Beren Empire, and the Witches of the North.
It is true that Thain has good relations with many powerful masters of these forces, but he will not bother others because of this matter.
Hewson is a good hand in the field of business layout, and he also knows the details of other federal chaebols very well.
However, this middle-aged fat man who is somewhat balding seems to still not have a thorough understanding of the system of wizard civilization.
It is also unclear how much importance the wizarding civilization attaches to intellectual property.
After the Federation War, Thane was able to obtain the Icarus Zaibatsu, which was a huge bargain.
Is it possible that he can still put his hand into the jobs of other high-level wizard civilizations?
Favor is favor, but when it involves interests, that's another matter.
Without further discussing this aspect with Hewson, Thane's trip to the Gallente Federation focused more on the two dominator-level demonized fleets he brought back.
Both the Icarus Zaibatsu and the Gallente Federation have conducted detailed analysis and research on the information on these two master-class demonized fleet groups.
In the end, the top leaders of the Gallente Federation gave Thane two options.
The first option is to merge the two Dominator-class fleet groups that were both damaged by more than one-third. After the merger, this will be a strengthened Dominator-class combat group.
If the Gallente Federation takes the lead in repairing and replenishing the damaged ships, various warships produced by the Gallente Federation will be added.
Finally, this enhanced version of the Dominator-level combat cluster is theoretically capable of fighting against late-level seventh-level creatures.
The second option is to still divide the two Dominator-class fleet groups into two groups, retaining their respective numbers and formations.
The Gallente Federation repaired and expanded each of them, and added the missing warships to them.
As a result, Thane still has two Dominator-class fleet groups, but the resources consumed are undoubtedly astronomical.
Moreover, the individual combat effectiveness of the two fleets is definitely not as strong as the merged super fleet.
Regarding the two plans given by the senior leaders of the Gallente Federation, Thain had almost no hesitation. He glanced at the few people sent by the senior federal officials and said, "I choose option two."
These federal high-level officials are really cunning.
Their real purpose in asking Thain to merge the fleets was probably not to obtain a more powerful super fleet for Thain, but in the hope that they could pay a lower price.
Judging from the situation, a Dominator-class spaceship group normally requires three Dominator-class attack ships.
If the senior leaders of the Gallente Federation want to complete the mission assigned to them by Ms. Bev, they must prepare at least two Dominator-class attack ships for Thane to complete Thane's fleet.
Two Dominator-class attack ships... put them together, isn't this a complete Dominator-class fleet group?!
The Gallente Federation's own military is still in urgent need of a Dominator-class fleet cluster.
Not to mention that in addition to the two Dominator-class attack ships, in order to make up for the losses of the two space fleet groups in Thane, the Gallente Federation will definitely provide a lot of other types of space ships in the future.
These cunning federal high-level officials!
In fact, no matter what time, the first thing people consider is themselves.
