Chapter 1008 Transforming the Titanic(2/3)
?" Princess Qinglu said with a smile.
"How could I not know its value? This is a weapon that allows a force to dominate the ocean. I said I don't want your money because I want to set up an agreement with you!" Wei Bin said.
"Haha, that's it. Let me tell you, you must have no advantage and can't afford it early!" Princess Qinglu said with a smile.
"Princess Qinglu, I am willing to give you this design, but you have to promise me that the submarines produced from you in the future will never be sold to anyone else except you and me! If the princess can promise me
If this is the case, then I will give you this design drawing!" Wei Bin said.
"This" Princess Qinglu seems to have encountered some problems.
"What's the matter, princess, is there any problem?" Wei Bin asked.
"I'm afraid there are some difficulties with this! I can't agree to your request!" Princess Qinglu said with a confused look on her face.
"Why? Shouldn't we hide a secret weapon like this? If you sell it to others, wouldn't it be tantamount to endorsing the enemy?" Wei Bin asked.
"But our shipyard has its own rules. Except for those high-tech products, all other products must be sold to the outside world!" Princess Qinglu explained.
At this point, Wei Bin suddenly realized that it was not that Princess Qinglu was unwilling to do this, but that the system forced Princess Qinglu not to do this! The setting of the system was that except for high-tech products developed by the company, it could not be used by outsiders.
In addition to selling, other things can be bought by players, so it is not that Princess Qinglu wants to capitalize on the enemy, but that the system is set up like this!
From another perspective, why are there only eight undersea forces in the entire Middle-earth continent with blueprints, but there are more than eight forces with submarines? Obviously, they are also suffering from system limitations.
That is, their submarines are also sold to the outside world, so there are those invaders and these undersea forces trying to rob the Titanic!
What can we do? Wei Bin can't let it go
The design drawings that I have worked so hard to obtain will add wings to other maritime forces, right? If other players can also buy the submarine from Princess Qinglu, wouldn’t Wei Bin be tantamount to tying up with the enemy? Thinking of this, Wei Bin
Bin suddenly remembered Mu Wanqing Shipyard. He was the elder of Mu Wanqing Shipyard. He had the right to keep this shipyard closed to the public. He had already discussed it with Duan Yanqing. As long as he developed a large-scale
square sailing ship, then this shipyard will become their private shipyard in the future, and it will only build warships for them in the future!
However, Wei Bin has two design drawings in his hand, and Mu Wanqing Shipyard only needs one design drawing. Giving it two design drawings is a complete waste! In other words, the other design drawing still needs to be submitted.
For Princess Qinglu!
"But" Princess Qinglu said hesitantly.
"But what?" Wei Bin asked.
"There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Although the shipyard's regulations say that except for high-tech products, all other products must be sold to the outside world, but we can cheat! The production process of these submarines is extremely complex, and their production cycle is extremely long.
The daily output is only 10 of the warships, and only 20 ships can be produced every day. If you really need these dives, you can order a large batch. As long as you order a large enough quantity, then it will be queued directly.
Is it a year or two or even more later? By that time, your submarine will have taken shape, so what if others start to buy submarines? They will never be your opponent!" Princess Qinglu suggested.
"Haha! Princess, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it! Then I will give this design to you, princess!" Wei Bin said cheerfully.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, isn't it? How can you just give away such an expensive scroll?" Princess Qinglu was a little embarrassed. This is a scroll that is enough to make the Xixia Kingdom become a maritime overlord. It is so precious.
Wei Bin actually gave the scroll as a gift? Isn’t this too extravagant?
"Why not? You and I are old friends. If we don't give up, I, Wei Bin, am willing to conclude an alliance with the Xixia Kingdom and form an offensive and defensive alliance!" Wei Bin said.
Originally, Wei Bin wanted to persuade Princess Qinglu not to sell submarines to the outside world by giving her the design drawing for free. However, when he found out that he could not prohibit the Xixia Shipyard from selling submarines to outsiders, Wei Bin immediately changed his mind.
Idea, you know, this is a priceless submarine design, how could he give it away so easily? If this design was auctioned, it would definitely be worth a million gold coins! You know
, Submarines are something that can reshuffle the maritime forces. As long as you have enough submarines, can the Twilight Fleet still control the ports of the Xixia Kingdom? Can the Nirvana Fleet still control the ports of the Dali Kingdom?
There must be forces that have submarines to control them, because submarines are the nemesis of warships! It is such a priceless design, how could Wei Bin give it to Princess Qinglu so easily? Then he must be a fool.
?
"Conclude an alliance?" After listening to Wei Bin's words, Princess Qinglu fell into thinking. She seemed to be weighing whether this design could be the capital to prompt them to conclude an alliance! After all, Xixia is a powerful country, and
The power of Nirvana is small. It is impossible for a big force to easily form an alliance with a small force, because this small force is not worthy. As for whether this small force can become an ally of this big force, it depends on the efforts of this small force.
Is the thing worth it? As long as this small force is willing to pay huge benefits, it is not impossible to conclude an alliance! And obviously, even if the weight of this design is not enough, it should be almost enough! Otherwise, it will be clear
Princess Lu won’t be so entangled!
"Princess Qinglu?" Wei Bin asked.
"The value of this blueprint cannot theoretically be used as a bargaining chip to conclude an alliance with our Xixia Kingdom. However, its value cannot be calculated solely based on this. If Wei Bin dedicated this blueprint to other maritime
What about the country? This is the outcome of the ebb and flow. By then, not only will the Xixia Kingdom not be able to become a maritime overlord, but its status as a maritime overlord will be replaced by other maritime countries. This is absolutely impossible!" Princess Qinglu thought to herself.
, the value of such a design drawing must not be considered only from a certain angle, the problem must be viewed comprehensively!
"Conclude an alliance? We, the Xixia Kingdom, are naturally eager to ask for it. Everyone is so familiar with each other, so naturally we have to conclude an offensive and defensive alliance, haha!" Princess Qinglu said decisively, without showing the slightest hesitation.
"Okay! Princess, let's see how many submarines can be made from these submarine-building materials?" Wei Bin asked.
"It should be possible to build tens of thousands of submarines. You don't need so many submarines, right? Why don't you sell the remaining materials to me!" Princess Qinglu said with a smile.
"Princess, please stop trying to win over people's love. You don't know how much I have put so much effort into this Titanic! It's only 10,000 submarines, and I can still afford it! However, I still have to go first.
Let's build 7,000 submarines. If according to the submarine production cycle, only 20 submarines can be produced every day, then these 7,000 submarines will take a year. The remaining materials will be discussed later! Wait!
Princess, what's going on? I spent money to order a submarine from you, but you still want me to bring my own materials? Don't you have the materials here?" When Wei Bin heard this, he thought something was wrong. When I bought the warship, no one came to look for it.
I've asked for materials before. Why do you have to ask me for materials when ordering a submarine?
"That's not the case. In fact, it doesn't matter even if you don't give these materials to me. There will be corresponding substitutes in our shipyard. I want to buy these materials in your hand because of their quality problems. I have to
It is said that materials of this quality are really rare in the world. They have been soaked in the sea for decades and are still intact. If they are used on submarines, they can definitely create an invincible submarine.
Master!" Princess Qinglu explained.
When Princess Qinglu said this, Wei Bin understood that even if he did not give these materials to Princess Qinglu, Princess Qinglu could still build a submarine for him, because she had all the materials to build a submarine here.
However, these materials are just basic attack materials! If you use these high-end materials in Titanic to build it, it will definitely improve the strength of the built submarine to a higher level! In fact, the same is true for warships. If the player
If you can make higher-quality materials yourself, the warship you build will also be stronger. However, high-quality materials are extremely difficult to find, and most people just use ordinary materials!
"Oh, princess, please help me build 7,000 more powerful submarines! I will pick up 600 submarines in a month!" Wei Bin said.
Regarding this number, Wei Bin has his own considerations, because Wei Bin has already seen this submarine design drawing and another undersea motorcycle design drawing in his hand. Among them, the number of steps to build an undersea motorcycle is
The materials required are half of those needed to build a submarine. In other words, if you want to build the same number of submarines and submarine motorcycles with these materials from Wei Bin, you will need two times the materials.
With one allocation, he built 7,000 submarines, and he could also build nearly 7,000 underwater motorcycles!
Wei Bin will send the remaining materials to Mu Wanqing, and ask Mu Wanqing to help him produce undersea motorcycles!
What is the difference between a submarine and an undersea motorcycle?
First of all, the firepower of the two is the same. They can only fire one torpedo at a time. Of course, due to the difference in their numbers, the damage of one torpedo is much more powerful than the cannonballs on the warship. After all, each warship is
With dozens of cannons, each salvo can fire dozens of shells. If the damage of one torpedo is about the same as the damage of one shell, then this submarine is too weak!
Firepower is what the two have in common, but their difference is that the submarine has thick skin and thick flesh.
, very resistant to damage. In this regard, its ability is almost twice that of the underwater motorcycle!
However, every advantage has its disadvantages. A submarine is indeed more durable than an undersea motorcycle, but its maneuverability is not as good as an undersea motorcycle. The maneuverability of an undersea motorcycle is twice that of a submarine!
Mobility, you say it is useful, it is also useful, say it is useless, it is useless, when is it useful? It is useful when chasing down those fleeing enemies, when carrying out something similar to a sneak attack,
It is only useful for tasks that require mobility!
But at the same time, he is also very useless. He is of no use in a head-on confrontation. Everyone is firing at each other. The torpedoes are so fast that no matter how maneuverable you are, you can't dodge them!
In contrast, submarines are the main force in head-to-head confrontations because they have rough skin and thick flesh, while submarine motorcycles are the main force in performing some special tasks. Both have their own range of power, so Wei Bin chose one
Construction was carried out in greater numbers!
"Okay then! Where is your Titanic? What should I do with it? Why don't you sell it to me!" Princess Qinglu seemed to have not given up on the idea of going after the Titanic! As early as she saw the Titanic
At the first moment, she made up her mind to buy the Titanic, but Wei Bin diverted the topic by talking about building a submarine. Now that the two sides have reached a consensus on the submarine, it is natural to
Back to the original Titanic!
"Princess, I still want to drive it out to conquer the world. For such a good ship, wouldn't it be too wasteful to use it as a passenger ship or a transport ship? Isn't this a waste of natural resources?" Wei Bin said very reluctantly.
"Transforming a cruise ship into a warship is not an easy task. Even if the transformation is successful, the time will definitely not be short! You must think clearly about this!" Princess Qinglu reminded.
"Princess, no matter how high the cost, I will modify it!" Wei Bin said with determination.
"By the way, the next thing is money. According to my estimation, it will take at least half a month to modify your ship. During this period, I cannot provide other people with the service of repairing the warship. So, you
I need to make up for the cost of repairing my warship in the past half month. In addition, considering that the hull and compartment of the Titanic have been greatly damaged, as well as the artillery equipment needed to transform it into a warship, so, so,
I'll collect it for you, one million gold!" Princess Qinglu said, this attitude would scare someone to death! What kind of ship only costs one million gold? I just want to buy a new Titanic
It doesn’t cost a million gold, right?
"Deal! However, to build it according to my design ideas, I need as much artillery fire as possible. Install as many as you can for me!" Wei Bin readily agreed?
"What? Do you really want to repair it?" When Princess Qinglu heard this, she said, "Good guy, I just casually mentioned a number. I wanted you to give up and sell the boat to me. Good guy, this is a good idea for you."
, actually taking it seriously?
"What? Can't it be repaired?" Wei Bin asked. Wei Bin had already made up his mind. No matter how much money he spent, he would transform the Titanic into a warship, a giant galloping on the ocean.
No tyrant!
"Well, okay, because of our deep friendship, I'll give you half the price. You only need to give me five hundred thousand gold!" Princess Qinglu said.
In fact, originally she just wanted to scare Wei Bin away with the high price, but what happened? Wei Bin was not deterred by the price, and he accepted the price happily. Is Wei Bin so rich? Actually
