God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1098 High price (pseudo)
  ...

"Since you said so, let me tell you some good news!" Lu Min looked at Gan Ning with a calm face and said sincerely with a slight smile, "One will definitely surprise you. And rejoicing at the good news!”

After Gan Ning heard this, not only did he not smile, but he frowned and looked at Lu Min thoughtfully.

"Relax, relax, this time it's definitely good news!" Lu Min said with a serious look on his face.

"..." Gan Ning looked at Lu Min silently and listened quietly.

"Many preparatory steps for structural parts have been prepared, so Lu Jicai has applied for the battleship construction plan." Lu Min said seriously with a smile on his face, "The plan has been approved, and the battleship manufacturing has officially begun. In the process, I believe that the battleship will be launched in a few years..."

Lu Min said seriously. As for his inner thoughts, Gan Ning would definitely not see it.

Lu Jun dared to think that he should have the courage and belief to build a steel battleship of this level, but he didn't have it anyway.

One is 5000 tons, and the other is 4 tons. These are not steel battleships of the same magnitude. The difference is vast.

He also asked about the chat group and listened to the explanations of the group friends.

I know how many years it took for the steel battleship to be built and it is still under construction.

If it weren't for the special secret of warmth and nourishment in this world, Lu Min would have been a little skeptical. The construction of that thing took too long, and the service life of the steel alloy was reached. By then, the steel battleship would be decommissioned after entering service.

If that happens, it will be a lot of fun.

Tens of billions of five-bead coins are just like wasting money.

However, it is precisely because this world has the secret of warmth and nourishment that it can withstand the corrosion of sea water and allow ships to be used for decades, even hundreds of years.

Of course, when this happens, the shipyard is probably the most unlucky.

After all, this kind of ship can basically be passed down to three generations, even if people leave, the ship will still be there.

Ships that are too high-quality will make replacement more troublesome.

However, there are not many ships now, and no one has noticed this problem. After all, the ocean will open up in the future, and a large number of ships will still be needed.

When it gets close to saturation, new talents will come up with solutions.

One generation does the things of one generation, but at most their generation is more outrageous and thinks more about the things of several generations.

Gan Ning's eyes flashed with joy, then he suppressed it, nodded with a smile, and said calmly, "It is indeed a good thing, but this good thing is not so pure, right?"

After being in contact with Lu Min for a long time, Gan Ning also discovered a problem.

Lu Min is capable most of the time, but rarely directly participates in the work. However, when encountering problems, he can always think of some methods. Although some methods are not so suitable, they are at least usable.

Although sometimes the reaction was a little slow, it was still within Gan Ning's acceptance range.

This is just Lu Min under normal circumstances, but once he encounters something interesting, Lu Min will be like a completely different person, extremely curious, and even somewhat unafraid of danger.

The level of boldness made even Gan Ning admire him.

However, not all advantages are good. Lu Min's behavior seemed a bit irresponsible to Gan Ning, but it was acceptable. These are all good things. The only thing that gives me a little headache is that Lu Min digs holes for himself with his words a lot of the time.

The most important thing is that this hole was not dug intentionally. Most of the time it was done randomly.

Only when you fall into the pit will you know that you have been tricked.

And this kind of random behavior even sometimes deceived Lu Min himself.

But it is precisely because of this that Gan Ning tried to keep a calm attitude as much as possible about what Lu Min said, so as to avoid affecting Lu Min due to his own mentality.

Then an inexplicable hole was dug, and someone might be buried in it.

"That's right. The price quoted for this steel battleship is ridiculously expensive. After all, the pre-planned plan will consume more than 4 tons of steel alloy. If some auxiliary materials, accessories, weapons, etc. are added..." Lu Min thought in his mind. He recalled the blueprint structure of the steel battleship and read it out slowly.

Gan Ning, who was still a little happy in his heart, listened to Lu Min's gradual explanation, and his whole heart seemed to have entered winter in an instant, and it was so cold.

Although we already have a rough budget and preliminary estimate of the cost of the steel battleship, I never thought that that guy Lu Jun would actually dare to build such a huge battleship.

"It's not a big problem. The initial estimate is the cost of eleven Ninghai ships..." Lu Min thought about the amount of steel used, the manufacturing of special structures, the manpower invested and time lost, the verification process, etc., and finally A rough estimate is given.

"Nearly [-] billion?!" The moment he heard the offer, Gan Ning felt his hands trembling and looked at Lu Min in disbelief.

The annual tax revenue of the Han Empire was only about [-] billion per year, according to statistics from the previous two years.

If the original standards were followed, a single steel battleship would wipe out the Han Empire's tax revenue for twenty years.

Ten years ago, anyone who dared to propose such a plan would have been killed by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Now they not only dare to mention it, they even dare to think about how to build it, and have already put it into the production and manufacturing process.

"Don't worry, it's not a one-time investment, it won't be a big problem..." Lu Min waved his hand gently and said confidently, "I think it took almost two years to build the Ning Haiship. This time A steel battleship, even with previous construction experience, would be at least five years old..."

"That means investing tens of billions of dollars a year..." Gan Ning murmured to himself after hearing this huge number.

Lu Min thought for a moment, then nodded. It seemed that was indeed the case.

If Chen Xi wants to make money, there is no problem with this financial investment, but it seems that there is little hope.

If this level of money were to flow into the market at once, it would be impossible to withdraw so much cash in a short while.

It's not that there is no money, but that there are not so many copper coins. The raw materials determine the quantity.

"Wait, who will pay for this money?" Gan Ning suddenly thought of some possibilities and asked on the spot.

"Navy ships are naturally provided by the navy!" Lu Min waved his hand, "But don't worry, Zichuan will pay for it in advance and it will be deducted from the subsequent navy military expenses."

Probably, after all, the explicit quotation and the true value are not the same concept.
