Chapter 836 Mining Barge ([-])

Lan Tian always had a warm smile, as if there was nothing in his world that could make him sad, nor would there be anything that would make his mood fluctuate.

Whether he is the president of Tower Shield Group and Skycom Group, or the finance minister of the Berwick government, Lan Tian has always been calm and calm. Even if tens of billions of funds are passed, he will Doesn't look agitated.But now, when he heard that Yunyi planned to give him the Blue Moon Group, he was excited.

"No, absolutely not!"

Lantian immediately refused: "Since Lanyue Group has been acquired by Tianxun Group, it is the group's property!"

Yun Yi said indifferently: "Although Tianxun Group is my own asset, I understand that without your operation and management methods, even if I have artificial wormhole technology, it will be difficult to develop the group to where it is today. This group has been operating in your hands all along, and I have not been able to give you anything except salary. So, don’t refuse this. "

Lan Tian excitedly said: "I don't need any rewards. The boss gave me the management of Tower Shield Group and Tianxun Group, and gave me a position where I can play my strengths. I am already very satisfied. As for rewards and so on , the annual salary is enough. As for the Blue Moon Group, even if it fails, it is still a large group worth hundreds of billions, and most of its assets are extremely good. As long as it operates well, it will definitely achieve an annual profit of nearly Ten billion!"

"Okay, okay." Yunyi didn't want to argue with him on this issue: "I said I'll give it to you, whether you accept it or not, it's all yours anyway. Is there anything else, no If so, I will continue to study my mech."

Seeing Yun Yi's irresistible look, Lan Tian smiled wryly and said, "This is something worth hundreds of billions of dollars. You actually give it away as soon as you say it. Sigh..."

Shaking his head, seeing Yun Yi wanting to leave, he agreed and said: "Okay, I accept, thank you for your kindness. I will let my father manage the Blue Moon Group, God I will continue to manage for the boss of Xunxun Group and Tower Shield Group."

Only then did Yun Yi smile and nodded in satisfaction.

"Come here this time..." Lan Tian continued to talk about other issues: "The Berwick government wants to continue to expand the size of the fleet, but you have never allowed the construction of Wumu-class warships. According to our intelligence in Iseras a few days ago The information sent back by the personnel shows that the size of the fleet of Iseras has been expanding over the years, while the number of our fleet has not increased. Many hawkish officers have requested that the country can increase the size of the fleet and quantity."

"Hmm... that's a problem." Yun Yi thought carefully, now that the scientific research planet has been built, only those experts in ship design will start to design new ships after they have a thorough understanding of the warship technology of the New World Federation. battleship.However, judging from the technology of the New World Federation, any battleship that can be manufactured casually is several times stronger than the Wumu-class battleship.This is also the main reason why Yunyi does not allow Berwick to manufacture warships. After the emergence of new warships in the future, the Wumu-class warships are bound to be eliminated. Manufacturing now can only be a waste of manpower, material and financial resources.

After thinking for a while, Yun Yi said: "We have to wait for this matter. In half a year at most, the design of the new warship should be completed, and then it can be put into production. But this matter must be done completely. Keep it secret, as long as you, Liang Zecheng and Qi Daoxue know about Berwick, don't spread it, so as not to startle the snake."

Lan Tian nodded solemnly: "Okay, I understand. In terms of policy, is it still mainly hoarding various metal materials?"

"That's right, you must hoard, the more the better." Yun Yi said: "If I'm not wrong, it won't be long before the materials used to make warship mechas in the entire galaxy will have a new increase. Taking the current price It’s fairly stable, and we must buy more.”

Lan Tian said: "Money is not a problem. It's a pity that Berwick's current sphere of influence is still in the area of ​​the Lichma Federation, an old powerhouse. Absolutely all the planets and asteroid belts that are easy to mine have been mined, and the rest It is not easy to mine and refine. There are very few self-produced ores, and most of them are purchased from other countries. Now, one of the main ore producing areas, the Southeast Cosmos Region has been integrated into the Xie Leichong Alliance, and our main ore source The Alta region is also occupied by Mayah, and the price of ore will increase in the future. But I am worried that if there is a war, some countries will prohibit the sale of ore, which is a big problem.”

Yun Yi frowned slightly, this is really a big problem.

After a little thought, Yunyi thought of a super-large mining barge that he had seen in the New World Federation.This kind of barge is very large in size, even surpassing the flagship battleship, and its overall size is comparable to that of the Aquarius ship.Such a huge spacecraft, coupled with hard outer armor, new mining equipment and huge storage space, can operate unimpeded in some extremely difficult to mine areas.

If there is such a spaceship, it will be possible to mine the relatively stable areas in the Death Fragmentary Star Belt.The celestial bodies in the death shattered star belt are all kinds of broken pieces of planets and stars. Many minerals that are usually hidden inside the planet and are extremely difficult to mine can be seen everywhere here. However, due to the complex and harsh environment, no mining company or The country dares to mine here, and there is no corresponding equipment.If there is a super-large mining barge, although the interior of the broken star belt cannot be mined, the surrounding area is still possible.

Thinking of this, Yun Yi said to Lan Tian: "Just wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he turned on the optical brain in the room, tapped with both hands quickly, and connected to the central optical brain of the Panshi base.He has the highest authority, he can browse all the materials at will, and soon found the design drawing of the mining barge.Since the importance and required technology of this kind of civilian ship is not as high as that of a warship, the authority required for this design drawing is not very high.

As soon as it was opened, Yun Yi suddenly let out a "huh" and looked at the design drawing with some doubts.

The screen shows that the number of viewers of the design drawing is 130, which is not beyond Yunyi's expectation.The authority of the design drawing is not high, as long as the students who have graduated from the advanced academy can read it.But what surprised him was that there were several messages under the design drawing.

"A very good mining ship, with thick defenses and a large storage space, it can completely adapt to most environments. Although I don't understand the working principle of the engine system of this spaceship, most of the other parts have already been understood. In my opinion, the shape of the spaceship seems a little unreasonable. Although the cigar-shaped structure is suitable for most cargo spaceships, in areas with more complex environments, the turning movement will become extremely slow, and it takes one and a half hours to turn 180 degrees. Hour!"

After reading this message, Yun Yi nodded in agreement.The data of the spaceship is also shown on the design drawings. Due to the large size of this spaceship and the slender cigar shape, the lateral turning will become extremely slow. Even in the New World Federation, countless designers have regarded it as a failure. typical.

But in fact, after Yunyi's research, he found that the design of the spaceship is extremely correct.After all, this is a mining barge and not a battleship, and it doesn't need nimble and exciting speed.Generally, when mining, they often stay in one place for several days, and don't care about the one-and-a-half hour turning time.However, this person's reminder made him think of another problem.If the spaceship was built to work in the area of ​​the death-destroyed star belt, in that complex environment, the turning time would be too long, and it would be unsafe for the spaceship!
There is a second message below.

"What you said on the first floor is very true. If this kind of spaceship flies in a safe area, there is no problem. But once you encounter pirates, even if you are driving a small warship, a small pirate group with only a dozen or so people can easily use mines. The bulky size of the ship, fighting in circles, won easily. In my opinion, if this spaceship adopts an egg-shaped structure, in addition to the main engine at the rear, four auxiliary engines and eight additional engines will be installed in the four directions of up, down, left, and right. Turning to the engine will greatly increase the speed, and the turning time will also be shortened to about 10 minutes."

"Hello on the second floor, I'm on the first floor. After reading your message, I have thought about it carefully. If you follow your method, the speed of the spaceship will certainly increase, but at the same time the cost of the spaceship and operating expenses will increase. At least two-thirds. In terms of civilian use, the gain outweighs the gain, unless it goes deep into some more dangerous areas, but it can make a lot of profits."

"Hello on the first floor, I'm on the second floor. According to what you said..."

"Second floor, I mean..."

"..."

"... On the second floor, I'm in the Sixth Laboratory of Physical Structure in the Warship Area of ​​the Spaceship Laboratory. Come over and let's talk."

This is the end of the comments under the design drawing. From the communication between the two, Yunyi keenly noticed that they seem to have discussed a very fast speed, but at the same time has a strong mining capacity and carrying capacity. The spaceship is just that the cost of the spaceship and operating costs are higher, but this kind of spaceship is more suitable for Berwick. Berwick has plenty of money, so he doesn't worry about it at all.Moreover, Yun Yi's target is not ordinary minerals, but the precious mineral deposits in the Death Fragmentary Belt, so it is most suitable to use this kind of spaceship.

Looking at the date of the message, it was half a month ago.I don't know how those two people are doing research now?

Thinking of this, Yun Yi's heart was itchy. At the moment, he said to Lan Tian: "It seems that someone has already modified this spaceship. I will discuss it with them first to see how they are progressing. If it succeeds, at most half In a few months, I will perfect the design of this spaceship and give it to you. After I go back, I will build some, and apply to Chu Tang in the name of the Tower Shield Group to mine in the southern area close to the death fragmentation star belt. With This kind of spaceship can easily carry out large-scale excavation in the edge area of ​​the Death Fragmentary Star Belt."

"You mean... the Death Fragmentary Star Belt?"

After hearing Yun Yi's words, Lan Tian was taken aback!He can clearly understand the names of the Death Fragmentary Star Belt, and the horrifying scenery he saw along the way is still hard for him to forget.But as a businessman, he is also very clear about how many valuable ores are contained in this risky place.Numerous rare mineral deposits and a large amount of metals in demand are very valuable and strategic reserves. Unfortunately, due to its complicated environment, countless mining companies and countries are discouraged.

And now Yunyi actually said that he was not overjoyed to have a spaceship that could mine in such a place.

"Are you serious? Can there really be a spaceship that mines ore in the death-destroyed star belt?" Lan Tian said in surprise: "Go, go, get back the design as soon as possible. With this kind of spaceship, we will You can exclusively mine the incomparably huge treasure trove of the Death Broken Star Belt. Whether it is common ore or rare ore, you simply need as much as you want. It’s done, and you don’t have to look at the Xie Leichong Alliance for a few ores in the future The country bumpkin's face turned pale, hahahaha..."

From Lan Tian's excited voice, Yun Yi could tell that Lan Tian had probably suffered a lot for the country's reserve of ore, otherwise he wouldn't have lost his composure.

Yun Yi couldn't help but feel apologetic, and at the same time secretly made up her mind that even if her personal mecha was put aside for the time being, she should design the mining barge first, at least not to let Lan Tian be angry with others.

After bidding farewell to the blue sky, Yunyi immediately came to the square of Panshi Base, entered the orbital elevator, and moved to the spaceship laboratory in the space port.
