Looking at a report in his hand, Merian rubbed his brow and sighed: "Even we can't afford this consumption..."
He felt that everything he had done in the past few days was trying his best to burn money! Yes, burning money, there was only one way to describe his feeling of spending money like water every day.
This feeling was not that comfortable. In the past hundreds of years, he had never imagined that one day he would be so luxurious.
As the commander of the Airansir Empire's Airansirus Star Ring, his daily job is to approve the use of a large amount of funds to build spaceships in such numbers that he himself can hardly believe it!
Various spaceships! There are exploration-class space destroyers for combat, exploration spacecraft for space exploration, and of course a huge number of space transport ships!
In short, the entire star ring is now busy. The construction of the spaceport and the construction of the spacecraft are started almost at the same time. A large amount of materials are transported from Ailan Siris and Yue Siris to the star ring and processed into various
The various parts are then immediately transported and assembled where they are needed.
The amount of money spent every day is simply difficult to describe in terms of quantity: just steel and magic crystals, the amount consumed was enough to support the original magic empire's lavish spending for hundreds of years!
In fact, Merian also knows that this is just the beginning for the Eilanhill Empire. In the following days, every day, every month, such investment and production will be required...
It will not stop for a while until the Airanhill Empire controls enough resources and is unable to continue to expand.
Of course, the pause is only short-lived, and soon the entire empire will continue to expand outwards, expanding to anywhere that the exploration spacecraft can reach!
This model is actually a model commonly used by the Elanshir Empire. It is a gambling-like model that has never been used by those empires before.
In the early years of the development of the Eiland Hill Empire, the large amount of capital injected by the Longtate family allowed the Eiland Hill Empire or Chris to taste the sweetness of loan development.
As a result, in the subsequent series of decisions made by the Airanhill Empire, it became a habit for Yin to eat Mao grain.
The Eilanhill Empire never seemed to want to develop in an honest way. Every period of its development was accompanied by crazy expansion and almost crazy upfront investment.
During the entire period of the rise of the Elanshir Empire, Seris was full of large-scale factories that were directly built - it was not expanded from a small factory, but directly invested in funds, without any prior preparation, directly in the
Build a large-scale factory in the wilderness.
No businessman would invest like this, because when the factory was built, the place might still be in the wilderness without even a road!
But when the factory construction is completed, the roads there are also completed - this is a planned construction sequence with no early return.
However, once these facilities are built, the power they can exert is several times that of conventional development!
The advantage of this development model is that it can rely on abundant capital and resources to skip the initial accumulation and immediately improve the country's production capacity.
The disadvantages are naturally obvious. As long as expansion is frustrated, the entire model will collapse. At that time, a seemingly huge empire will be wiped out in an instant.
Of course, Mai Ryan also knows that no matter from any angle, this unprecedentedly large cosmic empire is not at risk of collapse in an instant...
So he bowed his head again and approved an application for the immediate construction of two new space transport ships in the No. 3 spaceport under construction: "Agree."
Just as he raised his pen, his assistant pushed in the door and handed a report to Merian: "Sir! This is the news that has just been confirmed. The 160th exploration spacecraft has lost contact."
"Lost contact again?" Merian frowned, and then took the report: "Didn't this spaceship just come back for supplies? Aren't they very lucky?"
"Sir... there is no way around luck..." the assistant explained awkwardly.
Anyway, in the past two days, they have heard such news every day, and their hearts have become numb.
Previously, when a spacecraft crashed, all departments in the entire star ring would feel regretful for a while.
Some places may even organize commemorative ceremonies or hold festivals.
But now, the crash speed of these spaceships is faster than the speed of holding memorial services. Everyone no longer feels sorry for the crashed spacecraft, because everyone no longer has the energy to care about the crashed spacecraft.
Every day, all the workers on the star ring have to work overtime to produce spaceships. How can they have time to remember those old spaceships that have become space garbage?
Merian may be the only one who is still sensitive to this number. He raised his head and looked at his assistant: "Counting the newly confirmed spacecraft No. 198, we have lost half of the exploration spacecraft!"
"Yes, sir... we have lost half of the spaceship!" The assistant nodded, confirming the depressing news.
"Yesterday, 30 spaceships crashed in more than a day... It was only this morning, and we lost another 20 spaceships... How can we explain to His Majesty!" Merian muttered, picking up a copy from the table.
document.
In fact, he was not in the mood to read the document at all, and grabbing the document was just a habitual action. When he faced the document, he realized that he was confused, so he put down the document in his hand.
Then, he looked at his assistant and asked: "Your Majesty already knows this news?"
"Yes, sir, almost at the same time, we sent a message to His Majesty... But His Majesty did not have any new instructions. Maybe..." The assistant wanted to say that maybe His Majesty had not read the report at all.
"No, there's no way His Majesty didn't read the report... He also confirmed the number of crashed spaceships yesterday... Now, Your Majesty must be patient and endure the speed of the loss of spaceships!" Merian let out a long breath.
In one breath, he seemed to have made some kind of determination.
Then he squeezed his fists and said to his assistant: "Let the remaining exploration spacecraft continue their mission!"
This is his responsibility. Even if he is responsible for this responsibility in the end, he must persist until the last moment! This is his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, loyalty that will last until death.
