"I don't know, but our business is very good, so the war situation should be okay."
The merchant ship Ping An is the current flagship of the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce. It is also the largest ship in the second generation Ark class.
Redemption, Guan Xinxian's Xiao Sang, as a part of him, also accompanied him into divine sleep and "hidden".
With the expansion of the major trade routes of the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce, the demand for the shipping industry is also great. In this regard, someone in the road actually has no advantage. Lin Nu’s other branches have invested more, accumulated more technology, and researched and developed earlier. Now
Dongguo all buys shipbuilding technology from them.
But on the safe side of the road, there is "Magic Plant Industry". Since Ark has not only proven its reliability, but also with the production of "Lamp Tree" and "Fuso Wood" recognized by the world (chosen by the God of Redemption),
The quality doubled, and the second and third batch of ships all chose Fuso wood arks.
Their speed is average, but their carrying capacity is astonishing. As living bodies, they can not only carry magic plant weapons, but also consume very little (fuel). Their sustainable route time is ridiculously long, and they are considered one of the specialties of the Redemption Chamber of Commerce.
And because of the existence of the Redemption, it carries the concept of the "ark" of this world in a sense, allowing its kind, especially future generations, to have the characteristics of a "ship" and receive great blessings in this regard.
"It looks like we need to order some warships."
The journey back to the deck was uneventful, but I began to complain that my "ship" was not powerful enough.
As far as merchant ships and transport ships are concerned, the Ark series is almost perfect, with high carrying capacity, high endurance, and low consumption. In addition, it also has the high defense and regeneration capabilities of biological warships. The most important thing is that the cost is quite low, and it is not
It requires a lot of steel and special machinery.
But now, looking at the other warships on the battlefield that were killing people, Lu Pingan knew that money must be spent on this.
"If you don't wait two years and it's too late for the official warship to be released, you should order it from Lin Nu. But now I'm afraid the whole world knows that a war is coming, and even if you have money, you can't buy a warship. Tsk, are you going to waste my money?
Favor?"
Today's Lu is not the little shrimp he used to be. In most cases, his "favors" can directly determine the rise and fall of a place. When it reaches this point, he becomes more cautious. High-level professionals also have connections. For this
Owing favors for "little things" is really not worth it.
"Lu Ping'an, maybe I can help you imitate it. Although I'm not sure you can get the most elite level, I'm sure I can achieve a level of 60 to 70% with half the purchase price."
Fang Wen took the initiative to ask for help at this time. Lu Pingan thought about it and finally shook his head.
It's not that I don't believe in her level, but it's just stupid to offend some big bosses over this matter and eventually turn into a world-scale business war.
In a sense, all the big bosses with territories and industries are equivalent to the large chaebols and large cross-border companies in Lu Ping'an's previous life.
They are large enough to a certain extent, and they basically have comprehensive technical reserves. They may be good at some and not good at them, but there is no reason why they cannot produce some mid- to low-end products.
Clicking on the technology tree does not directly produce results, there are a lot of by-products in the process.
For example, someone who makes optical lenses for high-end cameras has long been able to produce mid- to low-end photolithography machines with their technology. However, after calculating the costs and possible business competition, there is really no need to compete with another large company's main business.
industrial competition.
This is the division of spoils in the modern world-class industrial chain. Industrial division of labor. Everyone takes a piece and concentrates on making high profits. There is no need to cause overall business competition for that extra income.
The premise of this is obviously that in an era when "capital" and "interest" are king, Lu Ping'an is not sure whether the Dongguo officials will interfere or change anything after they arrive.
But now, let’s adapt to the needs of the times.
"Place an order. Place a batch of orders with Lao Zhao. One aircraft carrier, three destroyers, and ten underwater ships. They will allocate the supporting ships themselves and let them deliver the goods to me within half a year. I owe him one."
Favor.”
Lu Pingan did not expect that the war would come so quickly and violently, nor did he expect that the target of the war would be the Eight-claw tribe.
After all, water warfare and underwater warfare are completely different concepts. Even with the divine blessing of underwater breathing, the abilities that strong humans can exert underwater are quite limited.
This is not simply about subtraction, but when it is certain that you can only exert 30 to 40% of your combat power, but your opponent can reach 120%, why would you go to a dangerous area to seek death?
"I thought our opponent would be the Abyss Zerg or the Lava Tribe."
There is no other reason. It is easy to deal with and there are enough benefits. You are not an aquatic tribe, so why would you go to the sea to grab territory.
But now, when fighting the Bazhao Hai Clan has become a political task and a part of the strategic mission, it is meaningless to consider who to fight. How to complete the task is the key.
"Let's complete the underwater ships first."
Even if the road is safe, fighting underwater is still pretty bad.
In addition to the sense of dislocation in all directions, what is more important is the "sense of isolation" after going to the sea. If being beaten, divided, and unable to find a supply point is the norm, the strong may also be dragged into the deep sea to die, which is extremely uncomfortable, not to mention the middle and low-level people.
A level professional.
Most of the enemies and space cracks are in the deep sea. It is certain to go into the sea, but the further down they go, the more pressure the team will be under.
Defeat is actually not terrible. Being scattered and lost under the sea is a disastrous result.
Judging from the experience accumulated over the years, at this time, underwater combat platforms are needed to help.
If you have enough underwater ships and enough underwater breathing grace, the battle at sea will not be a guerrilla attack from all directions, but a steady front-line advance battle. If you reach this rhythm and play style, then
Returning to the tactical system familiar to the people of the East.
No matter which direction you come from, I will slowly advance with heavy equipment, underwater ships and infantry.
Although it is a rough reproduction of land infantry and tank tactics, its effectiveness has been verified in past wars, and there is no reason not to continue it now.
This is also on Lu Ping'an's purchase list. Most of them are underwater ships and equipment, while the surface ships that are usually the focus are only slightly purchased. Most of the battles are destined to be in the deep sea. Since the surface of the water has the advantage of one's own air force, it really doesn't matter.
.
Lu Ping'an didn't buy too much. His plan was to use this batch of purchases first. When the shipbuilding technology in Dongguo improved, he would directly buy the military ones. Based on his past experience, that thing was absolutely
It is much better than private scam products. You can get several times the performance for half the price, and they are all products of the Dongguo military, which facilitates actual combat cooperation.
Moreover, private companies still have a problem. As long as customers are not picky, they will not constantly update their main products. In fact, Lu Ping An is not satisfied with the performance of these "battleships". He is still waiting for the official to take advantage of the technology.
Give birth to the next generation.
It's enough for now. The mission he came here to perform was mainly to build trade routes and frontline bases. No one expected this "treasure" to go to the frontline.
Theoretically, he didn't even need to come to the front line of this battlefield, but now that he was here, he naturally wanted to try the taste of naval battles.
There are many powerful forces like him. Facing the gradually unfolding world war, they are all adjusting, revising, and increasing their survival rate in deep-sea operations.
