I spent two comfortable days at home.
The military bases and naval ports on the Second Continent were completed. Jiang Ye did not go to inspect them, but remotely commanded troops to take over.
After the frigates entered the port, the development index directly increased by 30 points. Military facilities indeed had a significant impact on the development index.
A batch of new enterprises moved in successively, all inconspicuous small companies, which only increased the development index by 5 points in total.
The troops continued to advance, with spider assault vehicles cooperating with jump jets.
That night, Jiang Ye received a message from his subordinate.
Che Zhen: "We have reached the frog mother that was previously destroyed. This thing is indeed scrapped, but the main body is still there."
Jiang Ye: "Try to dismantle the frog mother and extract the components inside. Use what you can, sell what you can."
Che Zhen: "Understood!"
Jiang Ye: "Start a live broadcast for me, and pay attention to safety."
Half a minute later, the live broadcast signal was connected, and a holographic projection rose from the desktop.
Many spider assault vehicles surrounded the frog mother, using their spider legs to violently dismantle it, tearing off sheets of metal and pulling out internal components.
It looked like a group of ants feeding on a dead animal.
After the outer shell was removed, the internal structure was exposed.
Jiang Ye was amazed. The metal framework inside the frog mother was unexpectedly exquisite, somewhat resembling a conch shell, spirally connected, like a work of art. There were also many unknown components.
It was no longer just machinery, but a giant metal creature, with various bones, blood vessels, and organs. When alive, they operated in unison, and even in death, it was magnificent.
The dismantling lasted for over an hour, and finally, the core energy unit of the frog mother was extracted.
The energy unit looked very much like a heart, but it was larger than a human's. The outer shell was transparent, and the inside was filled with small glowing components, complex to the point of making one dizzy.
The spider assault vehicles worked together to pull out the "heart" and slowly moved it away. Daifeng Novel Network.
The live broadcast ended, and Jiang Ye yawned.
After waiting for a while, Che Zhen's message came:
"The dismantled frog mother components have all been sold, totaling 50.3 million yuan, all deposited into your account."
"The outer shell and residual frog missiles were not worth much. The most valuable was the frog mother's heart, which sold for over forty million."
Jiang Ye was quite pleased. He thought the destroyed frog mother would only sell for a few million, but unexpectedly it sold for half a hundred million.
If a destroyed one could sell for half a hundred million, then the manufacturing cost of the frog mother might be around two to three hundred million.
Spending two to three hundred million for such a thing, Jiang Ye felt it was still worth it. Its ground firepower was too fierce, it was simply a city-destroying artifact. It was a pity that the Mir people were enemies and could not trade.
He went into the bathroom to wash up, changed into snow camouflage, left home, and got into the car.
Destination, Second Continent Military Base, let's go!
It took more than three hours to reach the destination, and Jiang Ye was drowsy from the car ride.
He got out of the car and went straight to the top-floor office.
The new office was even larger than the previous one, with a minimalist decor. In addition to the existing furniture, a three-meter-tall bear skeleton was placed as a decoration.
Jiang Ye sat down by the desk. The screen on the desk lit up, and various unread messages popped up, all new messages from the past three hours.
The first few messages were reports on the training of the army and police. Jiang Ye scanned them quickly; there were no major issues, except for a few soldiers who vomited from over-training.
The later messages became more interesting:
Sam: "Commander, I want to start a business and set up a fishing company. Most of the other procedures are almost done, and I still need you to approve a piece of land by the sea for me."
This Sam was the leader of the B settlement area. He had only been here a few days and was already planning to start a business, truly an extraordinary person.
Jiang Ye: "Fishing company? How do you plan to do it? Tell me in detail."
Sam: "I just upgraded my base vehicle and unlocked fishing boats. Each boat costs five million yuan. I can buy two myself, and then rally everyone to pool money to buy two more, for a total of four boats. We'll go out fishing every day to earn money. It's a legitimate business, to help the brothers fill their stomachs."
Jiang Ye: "If I give you money to buy more boats, can you recruit enough fishermen?"
Sam: "Yes! I can bring at least a few hundred people to work together."
Jiang Ye: "I'll give you fifty million, and you go buy ten boats. Of the money earned from going out to sea every day, give me seventy percent. If you agree, you can have any land you want."
Sam was so excited that he thanked Jiang Ye profusely. He never expected to get such powerful backing and was overjoyed.
The two communicated for a few minutes and decided on the location for "Sam Fishing Company," three kilometers north of Binhai City by the sea. A civilian dock would be built, along with some supporting buildings. The construction volume was very small.
The next message was from an old acquaintance.
Tian Rao: "Jiang Jiang, I want to tell you something. Recently, orders for a certain type of clothing have been increasing rapidly, that kind of... clothing that I'm embarrassed to talk about. I suspect someone might be doing illegal business? Please keep an eye on it."
Jiang Ye: "Okay, thank you, thank you."
The last message was from the police station.
Shao Wan: "There are more and more blood kangaroos near the city. Over a hundred blood kangaroos are killed daily on the outskirts of Binhai City, and occasionally some blood kangaroos wander onto the streets, rummaging through trash cans, scaring passersby. Can you send some troops to help out?"
Jiang Ye: "Will five hundred people be enough?"
Shao Wan: "Yes."
Jiang Ye immediately issued an order, transferring five hundred new recruits, equipped with spider assault vehicles or jump jets, back to the First Continent to help clear out the blood kangaroos.
All messages were processed, and Jiang Ye checked the various basic functions.
As soon as he opened the [Build Factory] option, a red text prompt popped up:
[Recent conflicts with the Mir people are intensifying]
[Defense pressure on various colonial planets is increasing]
[After research and decision, more types of weapon factory restrictions will be lifted for colonies of different scales]
[And a limited number of commercial factories jointly invested by the military will be added]
[At the same time, the construction cost of all factories will increase by 10%. This price increase is to raise more military funds for the front line. We ask for your understanding.]
There was both good news and bad news. The number of factories increased, but the price went up.
Jiang Ye quickly clicked on [Military Factory].
The activity was indeed quite vigorous, with three new types of military factories released at once, both large and small.
[Factory Type: Capsule Attack Drone Factory]
[Factory Description: Occupies an area of 50,000 square meters, includes a capsule attack drone production line, requires 130 workers, simple operation, can be put into use after simple training. Can produce 100 capsule drones per hour, with a profit of 1,000 yuan each.]
[Weapon Parameters: Capsule attack drone, total weight three kilograms, contracts into a capsule shape when stored, can be launched by rocket launcher or cannon. After launch, it unfolds in the air to become an attack drone. Carries two kilograms of high-explosive warhead, can attack targets remotely controlled. Disposable product, not recyclable.]
[Construction Cost: 120 million yuan]
Jiang Ye decisively placed an order.
This thing is very suitable for ground troops. It's a bomb drone that can be launched at any time, and its direction can be controlled. Producing more of them will create a sky full of flying effects, and it will definitely be useful in actual combat.
[Factory Type: Energy Focusing Pistol Factory]
[Factory Description: Occupies an area of 20,000 square meters, includes an energy focusing pistol production line, requires 100 workers, simple operation, can be put into use after simple training. Can produce 500 energy focusing pistols per hour, with a profit of 100 yuan each.]
[Weapon Parameters: Energy focusing pistol, stores energy from ambient temperature, can continuously fire fine particle bullets, magazine capacity up to 200 rounds, powerful, long-lasting, effective range 200 meters.]
[Construction Cost: 80 million yuan]
Jiang Ye immediately placed an order. The troops were still lacking suitable sidearms, and building a factory could solve the problem.
[Factory Type: "Hive" Electromagnetic Rocket Launcher Factory]
[Factory Description: Occupies an area of 30,000 square meters, includes a "Hive" electromagnetic rocket launcher production line, requires 430 workers, simple operation, can be put into use after simple training. Can produce 2 Hive electromagnetic rocket launchers and 600 rockets per day, with a daily profit of 500,000 yuan.]
[Weapon Parameters: Hive electromagnetic rocket launcher vehicle, carries 300 rounds, crew of two, effective range 680 kilometers, high accuracy, powerful firepower.]
[Construction Cost: 220 million yuan]
Jiang Ye was stunned. A range of 680 kilometers!
He quickly placed an order. The performance of this weapon was undeniable, it had to be bought.
Currently, the troops were in urgent need of firepower, especially firepower with a longer range than frog missiles. The troops had previously analyzed the range of frog missiles, which was at most ten kilometers, and in reality, most were fired within visual range.
