Interstellar Farmer

Chapter 219 Recuperation

The busiest person in more than three months was Du Guosheng. Not only did he have to relocate more than a billion people and arrange the construction of the planet one by one, he also had to dispatch hundreds of thousands of ships outside the planet and a large amount of materials. He came to arrange for someone to take it in. He was so busy that he was really busy. Fortunately, Han Zhen agreed to form a Prime Minister's Administrative Office created by talents he drew from various places, and shared his work to the maximum extent, so that he was not exhausted to death.

Old Du, those who are capable work hard, I believe in you! Han Zhen never felt that his back hurt when he stood talking. He always said a few words in a pretentious manner after seeing Du Guosheng busy. I know my own situation. This kind of internal affairs work is definitely not what I am good at. If this is the case, of course I should leave it to someone who is good at it. I don’t know how comfortable it is to be a relaxed manager. Therefore, when everyone is busy, Han Zhen is the most leisurely.

Du Guosheng had served Han Zhen for more than ten years. He was familiar and casual. He shook his head and was speechless. He just put an open small smart computer in front of Han Zhen and motioned to Han Zhen to look at the list above. .

No way, it's gone again! Haven't the goods purchased by Matthews been shipped yet? The list is full of supplies that the two planets are currently lacking. There are a lot of them, and the top part is made of thick red. Mark it out, that is the inventory list of energy blocks, it has the biggest difference! And this energy block was supplied to each legion just a few days ago.

Even if Matthews brought it over, it wouldn't be enough. It would take half a month at most. And if we want them to purchase so much energy again, it would take at least four months. This means that we will face an energy crisis. Three and a half months of complete interruption! Du Guosheng rubbed his head tiredly, I have stopped all the warships carrying out routine activities, leaving only the necessary patrols. I hope they can be used for more time. My lord, if you continue No matter what we do, if an enemy really appears suddenly, less than half of the warships will be able to take off, and only 10% of the 10% that can participate in the attack will be left.

Scarcity, Han Zhen scanned the list, and found that there was no shortage of materials and minerals that he knew about! This is the result of all factories supplying raw materials for production only with a little bit of what is necessary, while most of the rest is still unopened in the storage area. Why not open it? Just two planets are far from enough space to expand them all; moreover, it is more about mineral mining. As for the mining areas around the earth, there is no need at all!

Another reason why Han Zhen only signed a two-year warship supply contract with those big families was that he couldn't afford to support them!

Han Zhen currently controls only a few planets, and he cannot be self-sufficient in minerals at all, because there are only some basic minerals here on earth, which is an extremely barren land. In the past, when there were only second- and third-level battleships and small transport ships, they could still rely on supplies from the Matthews Chamber of Commerce and purchase from surrounding countries. However, Han Zhen came back and moved the family center here from Dayu Star. Finally, this method won’t work anymore!

This is why the major families are not worried that Han Zhen will quickly become the same existence, and at most he will only become a temporary hero in terms of armament for a short period of time. Strength is not easy to develop. It is simply impossible to get ahead with just a few planets! A casual comparison will reveal that the Han family lacks many things:

In terms of manpower, not everyone can be a crewman. If one out of ten people can be selected, it is considered quite good. If the earth had not been in constant war all year round, Han Zhen would not have been able to piece together the nearly eight people he has now. billions of people on board. There are enough in number, but no more than one-third are qualified, and even if they are qualified, they can only be regarded as new recruits among the big countries-the encirclement and suppression of the troops of the three countries that came to earth to provoke them half a year ago will require Either the general's command level is superb, or he has an absolute advantage by attacking the weak with the strong, the result is likely to be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Manpower is extremely scarce, and assuming that a battleship requires four thousand people, the Earth's manpower will need at least half. Just saying that there are not enough people here on earth.

Supplies and resources, as mentioned before, all rely on imports, but no family in any country dares to import all their supplies. The amount required is too much! Especially the energy mine. When the battleship moves, it consumes the most energy. If it fires a few more shots, it all depends on energy for support! As for other minerals, if one or two important minerals are blocked, the entire work will come to a standstill.

There are also logistics, maintenance, follow-up battleship replenishment...etc., etc., to put it simply, there is no planet to support the huge consumption. Others will fight more and more, while we will fight less and less, and even in the end, we will lose All the warships are in a desperate situation of waiting for rice to be eaten. Even if you have countless battleships at one time, it is just a paper tiger.

Han Zhen now has a lot of warships. Looking at this aspect, they are stronger than most second-level countries and comparable to ordinary third-level countries. At this scale, the population must be at least four to five hundred. Billions can basically meet the demand, and the manpower for mining is a big part; the more planets, the better, there must be at least thirty administrative stars, and there must be several planets with rich and complete resources. OK; it doesn’t matter the number of secondary stars. Anyway, the minerals on them must ensure that all basic minerals, most regular minerals, some precious minerals, and a small amount of rare minerals exist, and there must be a certain amount of reserves.

If Han Zhen still wants to build his own battleship production line, then this requirement will be doubled at least!

Han Zhen is rich. Although I don’t know how much money those big families have accumulated, it seems that as long as Han Zhen maintains this money-making posture, he will be able to catch up in a few years. But money is not everything. If you don’t have your own foundation, even if you have money, you can’t buy things or you can’t sell them at all. That’s the most depressing thing. Han Zhen is not unable to buy things now, but there are few things. , it is a fait accompli that it cannot be sold.

Damn it, this time I was tricked by these old bastards. Next time it won't be so cheap! Half a month, Han Zhen paused, stared at Du Guosheng for a while, and then said: Can we really only last half a month?

The more than thirty families who sold the warships actually took away all the energy blocks in the warships when they arrived at Weilong. They really left home without leaving a single piece! Matthews couldn't restrain them there, and they plausibly claimed that he was strictly following the contract. The contract didn't say that the energy blocks and maintenance materials were to be left behind, so naturally they wouldn't keep them! If Kaolaqi hadn't used half of his own reserves for temporary relief, it would be hard to say whether the battleship would be able to sail back. Han Zhen really didn't expect them to do this. In the past, when buying warships, they always had at least a base inventory. How could they do it like this? Every loss will make you wiser. This time, you can think of the methods of these families.

Then the only way is to use our reserve energy! Du Guosheng said, But our reserves are too small, and we can only guarantee the full cost for half a year at most. Du Guosheng pointed out on his brain as he spoke.

Reserved energy is generally not used. Even if it is used, it will be replenished immediately afterwards. If you worry about losing effectiveness because the reserved energy block has been too long, just replace it with a new one.

Half a year? That's enough, use it! Half a year is enough time for those guys to get active. I don't want to see my warships unable to defeat a third-level cargo during the war! Han Zhen frowned. unfolded. Matthews is still going all out for acquisitions. The energy blocks in surrounding countries, including the Three Kingdoms of Tianton, have been purchased. Now the prices in those countries have increased by several percent.

My Lord, it is easy to use the reserves, but if we do this, we will have no room for maneuver! And not only are we short of energy, we are also extremely short of minerals! And there will be even more shortages in a few months. When we have all the factories Once established, the gap cannot be met here on earth! The only way is to expand the territory. Du Guosheng said.

Of course I have to expand the territory, but there is no report on Ruoma's situation yet, so we can't know his attitude, and the people from the Third Intelligence Department have not come back. Now we are in the dark, and we can only wait for the few merchants sent out. After the team comes back, we can really start taking action based on the materials and energy they brought back!

During the few months that Han Zhen was waiting on Earth, he sent a fleet to Ruoma. On the one hand, he collected energy and materials as much as they could collect. On the other hand, based on the channels he had laid out before, he sent a fleet to Ruoma to inquire about the relationship between Tianton and the Three Kingdoms. It is best to get the order to deal with it. Anyway, everyone will be happy. Let’s just say that the earth is very willing to help Ruoma teach these disobedient countries a lesson. Of course, the ability to teach three countries a lesson does not seem to be enough at the moment, but Han Zhen is still confident that he can win over certain families in one country.

A Chamber of Commerce in Kaolachi has been to Earth once. Now the battleship can be used for such a long time and can conduct multiple actual combat exercises lasting more than two months. Half of the energy and materials are transported from the Darrow family. Got here! The reserves of any family are based on long-term hoarding. Han Zhen has purchased half of the reserves from Kaolaqi. This is where his half-year reserves come from. This time his caravan will return as much as possible. Bring energy and supplies.

But Han Zhen was not very lucky. Who would have thought that Darrow had some problems with energy reserves, that is, Darrow's reserves were not as large as Han Zhen imagined! The price trend of energy blocks in the past two years was relatively high. The Darrow family took advantage of the situation and disposed of more than half of the inventory. What was left was only enough for their own use in the next few years. They were thinking of using it slowly over the next few decades. Little did he know that Han Zhen needed it urgently. After quickly allocating half of it, there was not much left! Apart from keeping enough for what I need, I can't guarantee how much I can get this time. After all, the energy blocks needed by this battleship can be used for a long time if they are only used for navigation, but if it is a war, it will be consumed a lot. Han Zhen does not know whether this batch is enough.

The third caravan was wearing the badge of Matthews, and its destination was the Principality of Wilda. Han Zhen had already set his sights on a family named Dis in this country, and specially sent a caravan to enter Wilda after doubling the price of supplies from Tianton and Renault. , on the one hand, they aggressively raised prices for acquisitions, and on the other hand, they launched a comprehensive investigation into the Dis family. If Han Zhen doesn't take action, the first target of his action will definitely be it!

The Dith family in Wilda is in the same situation as the He-Man family in Tianton. All the external business of the five previous planets on Earth was covered by the Dith family's caravan. It is the culprit of a series of actions against the Earth, including previous snatch-and-grab acquisitions and recent harassment, threats, and blackmail! Hundreds of years of grudges, oh no, in Han Zhen's eyes there is only humiliation and no kindness. If he doesn't take revenge, he will never forgive himself!

Why should it be set as the first target? It should be said that the Heman family of Tianton is more hated by Han Zhen. Secondly, it should be the Pani family of the Renault Republic. It should not have much interaction with Han Zhen himself. This is the Dis family! The reason is that Wilda's system is really good but too loose. Weixi is already in enough chaos. He is even more chaotic than Weixi. When he attacks the Dith family, except for some of his die-hard allies - if he has any - who will help, other families will not care about him at all. Life and death, without the minimum support that one should have in a country, they will only add insult to injury and think about how much benefit they can get from it. What’s even more unbelievable is that as long as you have the strength, no one will take care of you. Even as long as you hand over the management fees that each family should pay to the current king on time, he will destroy you. Everything the family owned before was legitimately transferred to his own name! This makes Wilda a paradise for pirates. As long as you have the ability to make people unaware of their previous background, you can have a legal identity in a sudden change. Therefore, this also makes Wilda have a more famous name, Pirate Frontier.

Han Zhen believed that Black Jack should also have such a spokesperson in Wilda. Not long after the Matthews Chamber of Commerce was established, it was attacked by Black Jack more than ten times in a row, causing great losses. If it were not for the large number of armed forces gathered every time they sailed, In addition, the rapid departure and return did not allow him to react in time. Most of the caravans have been in Velon and do not go out at will. Moreover, the location is very good, close to the Mocha border... and many other advantages. Matthews may have already become A stepping stone to enhance Black Jack's reputation. Passive defense is not Han Zhen's character. He was incapable before, but now it's time to deal with him.

There is another consideration, that is, there is an intersection between Wilder and the pirate's paradise - the wilderness. Han Zhen is very interested in that place. Although it is dangerous, it is rich in resources. I don’t know how Yunyangzi’s ancestors teleported and how they were positioned. It’s also possible that Yunyangzi’s records were too brief. After all, he didn’t go out. Han Zhen only confirmed three points, because the Wild Planet The particularity of the domain lies in these three points.

His new soldiers need to be trained. Isn't Wilda a mess? The more messy the better, just for training.

In the following time, Han Zhen began to recuperate, supervising the military's comprehensive training while waiting for the return of the three caravans. The time was spent waiting here.
