Chapter 268 Compensation
"Since last month, this jump engine manufacturing factory has officially started production. According to the planned production line, the production line designed by Ah Dai will be able to produce 10 million jump engine systems for frigates annually."
"Hiss, it hurts a little."
When Fan Ren heard the cry of pain, he immediately laughed awkwardly, and then forced himself to slow down his attack, but he still said seriously:
"But there is a problem. Because of the gravitational wave-related reasons involved in the jump engine, as the core part for communicating with gravitons, a very small amount of super-eating ore is needed.
In previous research, these super-devouring ores all came from the Fox Pirates' stockpile, but it was very small. According to Ah Dai's estimation, these small amounts of super-devouring ores will be completely exhausted after completing the production task of 300 million sets of jump engine devices. "
"Well, continue."
Inside the cabin of the Peregrine, where the scene was somewhat appalling, Jin Qiaoying's response was a little hasty, and it was unclear whether she was urging Fan Ren to continue introducing the situation of the hidden base.
"That's exactly why you came here."
As he spoke, Fan Ren quickened his movements, and the sweat on his forehead kept dripping onto the delicate body under him.
In the hidden base, under the control of Ah Dai, this personal vehicle of Fan Ren slowly drove into the largest space research station in the center.
"Sister Jin, welcome."
When Jin Qiaoying, who seemed much younger in an instant, walked down the cabin with clumsy steps and slightly frowned brows, Ah Dai's voice was the first to sound.
Obviously, although Ah Dai is a life carried by computer electronic circuits, this sentence undoubtedly shows that he has human emotions of longing.
The two haven't seen each other for some time.
"Hello, Ah Dai."
Jin Qiaoying's expression was a little unnatural, because she knew about Ah Dai's "supernatural powers".
Thinking of those disgusting scenes before, he couldn't help but subconsciously look at Fan Ren who followed him out of the cabin.
In contrast, Fan Ren, who had a trip to the solar system, looked particularly refreshed today.
He could guess the worried thoughts of the woman in front of him and shook his head with a smile.
Only then did Jin Qiaoying feel relieved.
This place is somewhat different from the main body of human civilization in the solar system because of the scarcity of human resources and the fact that most major affairs are controlled by Ah Dai alone.
As a result, even when Fan Ren arrived as the chairman, no one came to greet him.
However, this did make the two people in front of them, who were of different colors, feel a little relaxed.
Fan Ren supported Jin Qiaoying all the way to the captain's room in the Conqueror. Without wasting too much time, he directly retrieved the densely packed information and presented it to Jin Qiaoying.
“Don’t have too many doubts.”
Fan Ren first set the tone, which he believed Jin Qiaoying understood, and then pointed to the data on the document and continued:
"We are not actually worried about the source of super-devouring ore. The cost of a set of jump engines is about 200 star coins, and 60% of the cost comes from the demand for super-devouring ore.
Although each jump engine only requires a very small amount of super-devouring ore, its high price means that cost control can only be achieved to this level.
However, I think this point is currently common among all civilizations that are capable of production.
Therefore, for this kind of product with extremely high demand, I think there is no cost competition. In addition, these are only the cost amounts of the jump engines used by frigates. When the tonnage of the spacecraft increases, the required super-eating ore will increase tenfold for each tonnage level.
That is to say, taking a destroyer as an example, the manufacturing cost of its corresponding jump engine is about 2000 star coins, a cruiser is 20000 star coins, and a battleship is star coins.
However, correspondingly, the selling price of this level of jump engine in the star market is also different, 50,000 star coins per set.
Cruiser-level jump engine, 100,000 star coins per set.
As for the battleship-level jump engine, the price is as high as one million star coins per set.
This is one of the reasons why, although most second-level civilizations have existed for a long time, the number of battleships in their armies is still very limited.
The high cost of equipment limits the development of the number of their warships."
As Fan Ren was speaking, Jin Qiaoying, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but look shocked when she heard this.
The profit is too high!
On the way here, Fan Ren had already introduced to her the general information about the manufacturing of the jump engine, and only now did she finally understand why Fan Ren limited the scope of knowledge of this matter to only the number of people on the palm of his hand.
In fact, once this news leaked.
It will come as no surprise that human civilization will be coveted not only by second-level civilizations, but even third-level civilizations including Sirius will also have ideas about this extremely profitable technology.
In fact, these civilizations would not care about the "few" star coins spent on declaring war. They would definitely declare war on human civilization in an attempt to obtain this top-level technological product that only a few level four civilizations possess.
Taking the battleship fleet of the Hans civilization as an example, the other side currently has about 100,000 battleships.
The total price of the jump engines equipped on these 100,000 battleships is a terrifying amount, amounting to 100 billion star coins.
Jin Qiaoying suddenly realized what was going on when she heard this.
Meyer once said that the Hans civilization still has a large number of unassembled battleships.
It now appears that the price of the jump engines used by battleships is one of the reasons that limit the use of these battleships in the military.
Fan Ren reached out and patted her shoulders, feeling the alluring touch of her skin, and then continued:
"Now it seems that the decision to continue using the name of the Fox Pirates is very necessary for us.
Not only that, I have decided that after the first batch of jump engines are sold, we will gradually make the necessary cuts with human civilization in the field of raw materials, in an attempt to minimize the connection between the two sides. "
Jin Qiaoying nodded and continued:
"That's right. According to the information previously brought back by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, transactions in the Star Domain Market can be kept absolutely confidential. If this is the case, then the Fox Pirates can completely take on this business on their own.
As the seller, our finished products will be directly and anonymously stored in the star market agency of Sirius Prime.
Once an order is placed, the buyer can freely choose to entrust Star Logistics or pick up the goods in person.
So it seems that the conditions of confidentiality of the transaction and confidentiality of the shipment can be fulfilled?"
Listening to the other party's analysis, Fan Ren hesitated and said, "We don't know whether the five super civilizations can find out about these so-called anonymous transactions."
After he finished speaking, Jin Qiaoying smiled and said confidently: "That's for sure! They will definitely know!"
