What's more, at a critical moment, the arsenal ship can sneak into the sea, causing the enemy to completely lose its target.
Therefore, if a fight really breaks out, these twenty arsenal ships can easily wipe out all the incoming aircraft carrier fleets.
In fact, just after the carrier-based aircraft of the Choudras State discovered those arsenal ships surfacing, one of the arsenal ships launched a sharp attack on a nearby island.
More than 300 surface-to-sea missiles were launched in just five minutes, and then the island, which was several times smaller than the uninhabited island, was blown into ruins.
Seeing this scene, the pilot immediately transmitted the video back.
After watching the video, the aircraft carrier fleet commander's face turned extremely purple.
As a senior commander, he naturally knew that the movement in this video was the opponent showing off his muscles.
He wanted to issue an order for a direct attack, but when he thought about the consequences of being sent to a military court if he failed, he hesitated.
After thinking for a long time, he sent the situation back to China and made a detailed report.
After receiving the report from the aircraft carrier fleet commander, Choudras' senior management immediately held an emergency meeting.
At this meeting, video from the pilot was released.
This caused everyone in the meeting to fall silent.
Even a fool can see the powerful combat power contained in that uninhabited island and even those metal battleships.
With such a combat power, Udras may have to mobilize more aircraft carrier fleets or use mushroom eggs to defeat it.
But it is certainly unrealistic to use mushroom eggs at will. Any high-level person who dares to make such a decision will be impeached or even investigated afterwards, and may be imprisoned for decades.
For example, the last great chief who used mushroom eggs because of the strange fog, even though the Choudras Kingdom was in a critical situation at the time and had to use it, was still impeached by many members of Congress afterwards, and eventually had to step down early in disgrace.
Obviously, as far as the use of mushroom eggs on the uninhabited island is concerned, this move is far less righteous than the previous use of mushroom eggs by Weird Mist.
Under such circumstances, anyone who proposed using mushroom eggs would have to step down.
It is also very difficult to mobilize more aircraft carrier fleets.
After all, after experiencing the previous disaster, the national strength of the current Choudras country has been weakened too much. It is very difficult just to maintain the existing military base, and the aircraft carrier fleet is unnecessarily mobilized to a place where no one can shit.
It is also very costly, and it is likely to trigger protests from the citizens.
The most critical thing is that even if several aircraft carrier fleets are mobilized, they may not be able to defeat the opponent.
As for the bad reputation after the fight, that's the next best thing.
After all, for these senior officials, Ugly Dras's reputation is already bad enough internationally, and they don't care if it gets a little more bad.
It's just that you would be a fool to continue pushing this matter knowing that you won't win and will lose profits.
Therefore, after a long meeting of many high-level officials, an order was issued to temporarily retreat the aircraft carrier fleet by a thousand kilometers, in an effort not to intensify the situation.
As soon as the aircraft carrier fleet retreated, the special envoy of the chief of Choudras was sent out.
Its purpose is to make as much profit as possible for the country of Choudras!
Therefore, the first time the special envoy met Fang Xiaoyue, he made a condition that Fang Xiaoyue almost beat him to death.
"Udras State invested in the uninhabited island, occupying 50 billion Udoras coins for 51% of the equity. It requires the sharing of space elevators, space stations, robots and other technologies. At the same time, Udoras has a share of the space elevator's transportation volume.
It cannot be lower than 70%.”
Well, in Fang Xiaoyue's opinion, it would be better to just give the space elevator to the Choudras country.
After all, that way, he wouldn't have to worry.
Of course, in negotiations, it is natural to ask for a high price and pay back the money on the spot.
Fang Xiaoyue then cut the conditions of Choudras Country to pieces.
"The country of Udras can invest in the uninhabited island, but 100 billion Udolas coins occupy 2% of the equity and can share some low-level technologies. As for the transportation volume of the space elevator, I can only give out 10% for the time being.
, the major powers will discuss and allocate it themselves.”
The conditions proposed by Fang Xiaoyue made the special envoy furious, and he immediately issued a war warning.
Fang Xiaoyue just smiled lightly at this and said that if you want to fight, fight. The space station is now equipped with a large-caliber electromagnetic gun, which can carry out continuous destructive strikes on the entire territory of Choudras!
Of course, when Fang Xiaoyue said this, the chief's envoy immediately controlled his anger and turned his red face into a smile.
The negotiations were able to continue.
After all, this special envoy also knows that with the strength currently displayed by the uninhabited island, the Choudras Kingdom cannot easily launch a war even if it is sure of winning!
These days, the Choudras State dares to take action against some small countries, but it definitely does not dare to take action against other powerful countries.
In addition to the threat that Mugudan poses to each other, there is also the fact that even if the war between powerful countries is won, there is no benefit to either side.
It's no joke to get a thousand taels of gold when the cannon goes off.
In modern warfare, the cost of any missile can easily be hundreds of thousands of dollars. The longer the range and the more powerful the missile, the more expensive it is.
Not to mention other expenses of the army.
For example, Udras invaded a small country before and fought for 20 years, consuming a total of 2 trillion Udoras coins in military expenditure. On average, 100 billion Udoras coins were used in a year!
Wouldn’t it be nice to use the money to do other things?
For example, repair schools, help homeless people, etc.
As far as Fang Xiaoyue knows, the number of homeless people in Choudras is quite large. Every time there is an economic crisis or something, a large number of homeless people will be created.
After several hours of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
To put it simply, the country of Udras invests 50 billion Udolas coins, occupies 2% of the equity of the uninhabited island, and shares some low-level technologies. In addition, the country of Udolas occupies 2% of the transportation volume of the space elevator.
.
In fact, this can barely be considered a win-win.
Fang Xiaoyue is still a little short of money. After all, building a space elevator and a space station will not actually earn him currency on this planet, and the platform he uses to search for strange fog still needs to be maintained or even expanded.
As a result, his pocket is still a little tight.
Because Fang Xiaoyue has slowed down the pace of launching new products, Xiaoxiao Smart Equipment Company's profits have almost reached the upper limit.
In short, in addition to the 50 billion, Udras also has to pay for the 2% of its transportation volume, but it is much cheaper than rocket transportation.
The most important thing is that even this 2% transportation volume is much higher than the previous rocket transportation volume of Udras, and can fully meet the needs of Udolas.
With Udras as an example, other countries also sent special envoys to negotiate with the uninhabited island.
But this time, Fang Xiaoyue did not show up in person. He was too busy improving various aspects of technology.
He handed over the negotiation to AI intelligence.
As for the results of the negotiations, several powerful countries also referred to the previous agreement signed by the Choudras State.
As for those small and medium-sized countries, they will be reduced according to a certain proportion.
In the end, the total equity stake of all countries in the world in the space elevator reached about 20%, and they were allocated 20% of the space elevator's transportation volume. Fang Xiaoyue received nearly 600 billion in cash, finally solving the problem of lack of cash flow.
Since then, various countries have sent teams of all sizes to join the uninhabited island.
Of course, these teams are mainly responsible for their own country's space elevator transportation, and some people go to the space station and are responsible for satellite launches, scientific experiments and other matters.
After all, Fang Xiaoyue was very generous and divided a space port for them outside the space station.
Through this space port, these countries can easily launch satellites, assembled spacecraft, etc.
As a result, many ships will come all the way to dock at the port of the uninhabited island every day, and a large number of parts and even cargo such as satellites will be transported to the space station.
Of course, the one who has benefited the most from this is Xuan Yanguo.
After all, Fang Xiaoyue's current nationality is still the Xuanyan country, and the body she is attached to is also from the Xuanyan country.
My friends and other connections are also in Xuanyan Country.
Under such influence, Fang Xiaoyue naturally didn't mind giving more benefits to Xuanyan Country.
For example, the Xuanyan Kingdom only needs 50 billion Xuanyan coins to occupy 3% of the equity of the uninhabited island, and at the same time, the space elevator's transportation volume can occupy 4%.
This is twice the size of the Choudras Kingdom.
After learning the news, the special envoy of the Choudras Kingdom almost fell out with Fang Xiaoyue.
However, Fang Xiaoyue said that Xuanyan Country was her home country, and if she had to fall out, then she would just fall out.
This sentence silenced the special envoy so much that he couldn't even speak.
Of course, these are all trivial matters to Fang Xiaoyue.
His main focus now is on researching space engines.
In the past, space engines in this world were basically jet engines that carried their own propellant (energy) and did not use outside air. They were collectively called working fluid engines and were also called rocket engines.
In this regard, all major powers in the world have conducted in-depth research.
But this type of rocket engine has one biggest flaw, which is the limited propellant it can carry.
Since propellant combustion is a chemical reaction, the propulsion it can produce is very limited.
As a result, no matter how advanced a rocket engine is, its speed and range are extremely limited.
Of course, in addition to this, there are more obscure space engines such as Hall thrusters.
But most of these space engines are used to change the direction of satellites.
Because its thrust is very small compared to rocket engines.
To put it simply, the force generated by the existing Hall thruster is very small, and it is impossible to lift itself into space from the ground.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyue was studying ultra-high temperature plasma thrusters at this time.
To put it simply, it uses the ultra-high temperature gas produced by the nuclear fusion reactor to propel the aircraft forward.
Because its principle is simple, the technology of nuclear fusion reactors is also readily available.
In just five days, Fang Xiaoyue developed the ultra-high temperature plasma thruster and installed it on a mining ship for experiments.
The volume of this mining ship is several times larger than that of previously produced mining ships, and it can store more ore or gas.
Its initial route is to go to the asteroid belt to collect ore.
After all, since the moon is one of the companion satellites of the parent star, it plays an important role in the tides on the planet, etc. Once its mass is reduced too much, the impact on the parent star will be considerable, which will affect the ecology of the entire planet.
environment, leading to big troubles in human society.
Therefore, after sending more than a hundred mining ships to the moon, Fang Xiaoyue temporarily stopped the plan to continue sending more mining ships, and instead turned his attention to the asteroid belt more than 60 million kilometers away.
Like Fang Xiaoyue's original world, this world's star system also has an asteroid belt scattered between two planets, but the distance is different.
Compared with the moon, the asteroid belt is richer in resources and reserves.
There are as many as 1.5 million asteroids there, the largest of which is Meestar, with a radius of 500 kilometers.
More importantly, the asteroid belt is rich in ice water resources and other types of mineral deposits.
There was only one large mining ship that set sail this time, but it carried a full 100,000 sixth-generation engineering robots and a large amount of materials and parts used to build factories.
Because the large mining ship uses the latest nuclear fusion propeller, which can accelerate to 300 kilometers per second, the large mining ship arrived at the asteroid belt after a long voyage of 60 hours.
In order to ensure the operation of the large mining ship, Fang Xiaoyue installed an AI intelligent replica core program on it. However, due to the lack of sufficient supercomputer support, it was much worse than the original version in all aspects, but this was enough for it to operate on a small mining ship.
The planetary belt is used.
Under the control of AI intelligence, the large-scale mining ship headed straight for the largest Mee star in the asteroid belt. There were many meteorites flying randomly along the way. The lasers and electromagnetic guns equipped on the large-scale mining ship were fired frequently, hitting those who wanted to hit the mining ship.
All the meteorites were smashed into pieces.
After landing on the MiLi star and fixing itself, the large mining ship opened the hatch and released all 100,000 engineering robots.
These engineering robots can adapt well to light-gravity and no-gravity environments. They have their own rocket injectors, which can accelerate over short distances and prevent themselves from flying into space.
The engineering robots immediately began to build various factories on the surface of the Meili star, while the mining ships stretched out huge drill bits, drilled through the earth's crust, and continued to penetrate deeper, pumping out large amounts of crushed ore and ice-water mixture, and transporting them to various factories.
They turn into metal ingots, pure water and various elemental substances.
Since the asteroid belt here is full of meteorites flying around, it is impossible to use solar collectors to collect energy, so the engineering robots built a nuclear fusion power station on the Mee star to provide power for the factory.
And just when this large mining ship had just laid the foundation on the Meeli star, the second and third mining ships set off from the space station.
