Chapter 291 [Purchase of Warships]
Li Muyao looked at Academician Su Tianlong earnestly and said, "You should apply for funds from the imperial treasury first, and start preparing for the ninth-order life form project. I still have a few days before I can rush back."
"I will basically be back once your project funding is approved."
"This time, you will lead the project."
"I will mainly help you get it done as soon as possible."
In a large-scale battlefield, one or two ninth-order life forms may not be able to influence the battlefield situation.
But what if a large number of ninth-order life forms appear?
If ninth-order life forms appear on the battlefield in large numbers, the empire will be able to stand firm on the battlefield where thousands of races gather.
Even further.
Become the master of this starry world.
"I see."
Academician Su Tianlong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The dean wants to elevate himself to the status of a five-star academician of the empire.
The belief of every academician is to become the pinnacle of the empire's scientific research community.
Becoming a five-star academician is the dream of every scientific researcher.
As for secretly making trouble or stealing other people's achievements to become a five-star academician of the empire?
Do you really think the Empire's review department is stupid?
The Empire's optical computer audit is fake, right?
“Try to do your best.”
"That guy Yang Yue is watching us."
Li Muyao said seriously: "It is said that there is a newcomer in their department who has the potential to become a five-star academician."
A newcomer with the potential to become a five-star academician.
One department, two people standing at the pinnacle of scientific research, what a great honor!
How could she not want to fight?
and.
The Institute of Biological Genetics appeared earlier than the Institute of Space and Time.
They don’t have any at the moment, so what does the Space-Time Research Institute have?
"Boss Li, according to the instructions from above, multiple departments will integrate this matter..."
Su Tianlong asked tentatively.
"I already know about this matter, it doesn't matter."
"No research institute with five-star academicians as its pillars has been merged."
Li Muyao nodded solemnly and said, "You should hurry up, I'm almost there too."
"promise."
There was a serious look on Su Tianlong's face.
After cutting off the interstellar communication with Su Tianlong, Li Muyao pinched her eyebrows in pain.
The two ninth-order life forms they studied did not experience the same situation as Princess Mu Ying. Could it be due to differences in their physiques?
Or is there something wrong in some way?
The origin of Princess Mu Ying is also very strange.
It was brought back by Your Majesty when he was away from home.
It is said.
Secretary General Bai Mu was there with him at the time.
No, after I get back, I must ask the Secretary-General what is going on.
……
the next day.
Star Ancient World.
Royal Garden.
"The situation on the front line is intense."
"According to the news from the Night Organization."
"The Zerg have currently assembled more than 60% of their army and are heading to the Koster Realm."
"The first few biological mothership groups have arrived."
"Their main force is expected to arrive in half a month."
Secretary General Bai Mu looked at His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting in the pavilion sipping tea from a white porcelain cup, and explained every aspect of the battle report from the front.
"After all, the Zerg's territory is vast, reaching an astonishing 20,000 worlds, which is larger than the total territory of the Empire."
"It will definitely take quite some time for the troops to come and provide support."
Yang Yu put down the white porcelain teacup in his hand and said.
The Zerg's Dark Domain has a larger area than the Empire's Xinggu Domain and Canglan Domain combined.
Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that support needs to arrive in half a month.
"The marshals of the Imperial Army want to destroy those biological motherships first, or cripple them, before the enemy's main force arrives."
The Secretary General took out another document, which contained the latest plan of the Imperial Military.
"good."
Yang Yu looked at the documents and information handed to him by the Secretary-General with satisfaction in his eyes.
This group of guys are the ones that give me the least worry.
"The Imperial Construction Department has applied to open a high-speed transportation channel, and needs the military's help in protecting it."
“The finance department has approved it.”
"The military has not approved it yet."
Bai Mu talked about the application he received yesterday.
“Why didn’t the military approve it?”
Yang Yu frowned slightly.
Why didn’t the Imperial Military approve it?
"Leader Night brought an order of 1 billion from the Orc Empire, and considering that the Elf Empire also needed to sell warships, they did not dare to approve it."
"What if there are some cops?"
"When people buy warships, it will be troublesome if they don't have warships to pay for them."
"The First Combined Fleet must not move and must stay in the Star Ancient Domain."
Bai Mu explained.
"An order for one billion warships? Is the Orc Empire crazy? Buying so many warships means they want to go to war with the Orc Empire?"
Hearing this, Yang Yu turned his head and looked at Bai Mu.
A billion battleships!
The Empire's inventory + retired warships can almost be cleared by half.
If the Elf Empire also wants one billion ships, wouldn’t the military’s inventory be gone?
Although the empire no longer needs those battleships, there is no big problem in selling them to other civilizations.
But the Orc Empire's purchase of one billion warships may not be a sign of its intention to go into all-out war with the Orc Empire.
A billion battleships, you don’t even ask who the father of this street is, right?
"should be."
Bai Mu nodded solemnly and said, "After all, they have been oppressed by the Orc Empire for so long. Now they finally see an opportunity. They must want to seize this opportunity and eat up some of the territory of the Orc Empire."
“There is no rush to deliver their orders for now.”
"They are of great use."
Yang Yu's eyes flickered constantly, and he picked up the tea on the table to moisten his throat.
"Your Majesty, the Queen of the Elf Empire, Xiofu, will arrive in the Star Ancient Realm around dusk."
After Secretary General Bai Mu finished explaining everything, he whispered, "At present, the Empire has not yet arranged for anyone to receive the other party."
Inviting someone to discuss something must be taken seriously.
It really doesn't make sense that there has been no arrangement yet.
and so.
She had to give a reminder.
"Arrange for Princess Mu Ying to receive the other party. I will talk to the other party tomorrow about the future development of the two countries."
Yang Yu had already made arrangements.
That is to let Princess Mu Ying receive the other party.
Just as the secretary general was about to leave to prepare, Yang Yu stopped her softly and said, "After receiving Queen Xiof, you will follow me to the Vast Sea Realm, and then to the Mysterious Ice Realm."
"Yes." The Secretary-General responded immediately.
It seems.
After this incident with Princess Mu Ying, Your Majesty needs to go to the place where Princess Mu Ying is in power in person to take a look to avoid any accidents.
And His Majesty said this to me, probably because he wanted to go on a secret tour.
……
Imperial Time, 18:35.
A luxurious spaceship, whose shape was completely different from that of the Star Ancient Empire, slowly landed at the Imperial Capital Terminal.
A tall woman with blonde hair, blue eyes and pointed ears, wearing a noble crown and looking quite gorgeous and elegant, walked slowly down the stairs of the spaceship holding a scepter.
She took a step behind, followed by a servant. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Lanny Lion, the Foreign Minister of the Elf Empire.
Yes, the person who came was indeed the supreme monarch of the Elf Empire, the Elf Queen.
The Imperial Capital Terminal was also placed under martial law by the Imperial Army, and was received by the Imperial Guards, who were known as the most elite in the Empire.
In front of the Royal Guards, there was also a girl whose temperament was not inferior to that of the Elf Queen. She was wearing the costume of a princess of the Star Ancient Empire. Her every move seemed to have the aura of an emperor. Beside her were the Empire's Minister of Foreign Affairs Yang You and Minister of Public Security Bai Hong.
"Your Majesty, the person who received us is Princess Mu Ying of the Xinggu Empire, who is also the crown prince of the empire."
"The two people beside her are Yang You, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Xinggu Empire, and Bai Hong, the Minister of Public Security."
Lanny Lion, the Foreign Minister of the Elf Empire, whispered in the ear of his elf daughter Xiof.
He thought that the Emperor of the Xinggu Empire would go in person to meet Her Majesty the Queen.
But now it seems impossible.
"Crown heir, this is more than enough."
The Elf Queen Xiof had a smile on her face, and there was solemnity in her eyes as she looked at Princess Muying Yang Yue.
It seems that the Xinggu Empire has really put its heart and soul into training the crown prince.
The unique temperament and gestures of this princess alone are enough to prove how terrifying the Star Ancient Empire's training of the crown prince is.
Those two people who had been in high positions for a long time seemed to be much dimmer when standing in front of the girl.
"Hello, Your Majesty, welcome to the Xinggu Empire."
As the Elf Queen stepped off the spaceship, Princess Muying Yang Yue also stepped forward, extended her hand toward the Elf Queen, with a generous but calm smile on her face.
"Hello, Princess. I'm glad to come to the Xinggu Empire and I'm glad to meet the beautiful Princess."
The Elf Queen naturally didn't feel any discomfort.
After all, the Elf Empire and the Star Ancient Empire have a comprehensive cooperative relationship, and it is already very good that they can send the Crown Prince to receive me.
"The empire is currently busy with war, and Your Majesty is unable to get away, so you asked me to come and receive Her Majesty the Queen."
"Your Majesty will take time out of his busy schedule tomorrow to discuss cooperation between the two countries with Her Majesty the Queen."
Princess Mu Ying Yang Yue found a reason for her father without losing her sense of propriety, which also made the Elf Queen feel better.
After all, the cooperation is there.
The Elf Queen smiled and shook her head.
She naturally knew that the Xinggu Empire was now in a very busy situation.
Who made the Star Ancient Empire the main force in fighting the Zerg?
It was a great honor for them to send the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Public Security and the empire's only princess to receive me despite their busy schedule.
"please."
……
Day two.
Imperial Palace.
10: 00.
"I'm sorry for neglecting Your Majesty. I'm really too busy with the affairs of the empire and I can't spare the time. I hope Your Majesty will bear with me."
Yang Yu looked at the Elf Queen and the Elf Empire's Foreign Minister Lanny Lion who had arrived and said with a smile.
He was very satisfied with Mu Ying's actions.
"No problem."
The Elf Queen said with a smile.
Next.
The two sides exchanged brief greetings and then began to discuss matters of cooperation between the two sides.
"Your Majesty, the price of your warships cannot be reduced any lower, can it?"
The Elf Queen looked at Yang Yu, the Emperor of the Star Ancient Empire in front of her. Her voice was very light, ethereal and vague, as if a fairy had walked out of the most primitive forest and was whispering softly.
"Your Majesty, as you know, warships are basically sold at their original prices."
"The price of a million warships is all the scarce resources in a world."
Yang Yu showed an embarrassment on his face and said, "At present, our Xinggu Empire can only sell it at this price."
“What if I buy more?”
The Elf Queen naturally knew that it would certainly cost a lot of resources for their Elf Empire to build a million mainstream-class warships, even more than the budget given by the Star Ancient Empire.
But the resources of their Elf Empire are not very abundant now, and the financial problem is also a huge problem.
“If you buy more, it’s the same price.”
"It's the factory price."
Yang Yu shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, can't you lower it any lower?"
"The Elf Empire and your country are strategic partners. Your Star Ancient Empire is fighting against the main force of the Zerg. We also know your predicament, but we are now also facing threats from other civilizations."
"We have now dispatched eight T0-class combined fleets to head to the Sena Realm."
"If other civilizations continue to covet the territory of our Elven Empire, we will naturally be unable to stop the enemy's attack."
"It would be too late to build a warship."
"Going to the low-dimensional world to build warships, the transportation cost is huge, and we also need to build corresponding production lines and berthing ports in the low-dimensional world."
"The time and money required are purely..."
The Elf Queen Xiof said earnestly.
She must gain enough benefits.
Yang Yu listened to her words and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This was true, but it made him feel uncomfortable.
You are facing threats from other civilizations. Aren't we the main force that can directly fight against the Zerg?
"Our empire is also in a difficult situation, according to news from our intelligence organization."
"The Zerg have gathered more than 60% of the entire civilization's military resources and are preparing to rush to the front of our empire."
Yang Yu also explained the situation facing the empire and said, "If we are defeated by the Zerg, then..."
"Just, really can't it be lowered a little bit? Even a little bit lower will be fine." For the fate of her own civilization, the Elf Queen Xiof completely gave up her dignity and face as the Elf Queen.
The Elf Empire must never step off the stage of history.
Even if they cannot return to their former heyday, they can at least watch the rise of a hegemon.
"110 million warships."
Yang Yu gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "However, it must be purchased in the name of 100 million warships. The extra 10 will be counted as a gift with the purchase."
A six-dimensional universe in exchange for 110 million T1-class battleships (equivalent to the main flagships of the Star World).
"grateful."
The Elf Queen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party had really retreated.
"I wonder how many warships the Elf Empire wants to purchase?" Yang Yu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then asked.
In an instant.
The Elf Queen fell silent, thinking quickly in her mind how many warships she needed to purchase to deal with the upcoming dwarves and even other civilizations that were against the Ancient Star Empire Alliance.
When Foreign Secretary Lanny Lyon saw Her Majesty the Queen fall into silence, he gently poked her and secretly raised two fingers for her.
"We need to buy 20 billion warships."
The words fell.
Lanny Lion's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at his Queen.
My dear Queen, what I meant was 200 million ships. Why did you multiply it by ten?
Oh my god.
I’m afraid that the bastard Chancellor of the Exchequer is going to curse his mother this time.
