"One more thing." Lin Hai said, "The pillar tank is probably our last piece of advanced technical equipment." ”

"Huh? The last piece? Wang Hammer didn't understand, he was very surprised, "What does this mean?" ”

"For the time being, I don't plan to provide other countries or forces with relatively advanced technology and equipment." Lin Hai explained, "Because we have provided several pieces of advanced equipment before, we have not only become a thorn in the side of others, imaginary enemies, but even our theoretical allies seem to be eyeing us. So I want you to focus all your energy, including all the energy of your technical department, on the rail-ion cannon system after completing the pillar tank, and I will focus the funds that we have recently received on this project. I hope that you will be able to complete the initial launch of the system in a month's time. ”

"We're already doing this, sir." "The first artillery crew component has already been loaded with rockets at the Antarctic base, and it will be ready to be launched after the final inspection of the base's camouflage system three days later." ”

"So fast?" Lin Hai was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "After this set of components goes up, how much progress has been completed?" ”

"If it's just the ion cannon itself, it's a third of the way through, and then we need to fire two more times to complete the assembly of an ion cannon. This is because we don't have a spaceship and can only rely on rockets to launch components, which makes it impossible to improve efficiency. ”

"Didn't you say that our standard transport aircraft can fly to low earth orbit? Isn't it possible to use a standard transport plane to assist in the same way as a satellite? ”

"The operating orbit of the ion cannon is higher, which belongs to the far-earth orbit, and the standard transport aircraft cannot fly at that altitude except for itself. The cargo ejected from its cargo hold could not fly to that height. Before there were no spaceships, we had to launch rockets to complete this plan, which is one of the reasons why the cost of building an ion cannon system would be so high, and the cost of rockets was a bit high. ”

"Why don't we have a recyclable rocket?" Thinking of the "Falcon" series of recyclable rockets that the people of country M are working on, Lin Hai asked. "Wouldn't that reduce some of the costs?"

"With more advanced spaceships, why do we need rockets?" Wang Hammer asked rhetorically, "If you want to say that the least cost, of course, is the spaceship, which is something that can be used repeatedly, and its versatility is incomparable with rockets." ”

"Okay, but when are we going to have spaceships? You've been saying that the Global Defense Force has starships, but by now, I'm a rear admiral. But he didn't even have a shuttle machine that could go to space. ”

"I don't know, sir. According to the establishment of the Global Defense Force, the rear admiral should theoretically have a star ship in his hands that can be deployed, and at the very least, it must be a destroyer-level starship. ”

"Well, it's very strange that I came from this military position, and it's normal to have any flaws, and it's useless to be annoyed now if there is a starship." Lin Hai sighed, and then asked. "So, when will the next two rocket launches take place?"

"With our current capabilities. Rockets can be launched once a week. But that's too much pressure on our current funding. The resources consumed to complete the first ion cannon alone are equivalent to 1.5 billion M gold, and a complete set of ion cannon systems, including 36 ion cannon guns, ground and space control stations and space maintenance stations, requires nearly 80 billion M gold in resources. This is also because our production costs are comparable to the investment of countries in this area. It's already a very low premise. ”

"It's really expensive." Lin Hai smacked his tongue and said, "80 billion? We haven't made that much money for more than a year now. ”

"Only half, sir." "So far. We have a total revenue of 41.7 billion. ”

"So many?" Lin Hai's eyes widened, if he didn't know that the clones wouldn't lie to him, he could hardly believe that he had made so much money in just over a year.

"Yes, in terms of arms income and mercenary warfare, the income is the most. In terms of medicine, there are currently just over a billion. But among the 41.7 billion, there is a considerable amount of funds, which we have replaced with resources or licensing rights, so the real amount of money is only more than 20 billion. So our money products are actually very large. But fortunately, the Antarctic base is already self-sufficient, so we don't have to spend money to buy a considerable amount of resources. It can even be said that if it weren't for the fact that we were in a hurry and the task was heavier, we wouldn't need to buy supplies from outside at all, and we could all solve it ourselves. ”

"It's a pity. If we hadn't been so impulsive before, or so impulsive, and developed steadily in secret, then we would have had enough time to prepare. Lin Hai rubbed his face and said with some regret, "But this is also a paradox, if we weren't so radical before, then I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to be promoted to major general now." Even if there is enough time, we do not have a license for the production of ion guns. You really can't have it both ways. ”

"Exactly, sir."

"Forget it, let's not talk about these useless things. Since our current situation is not good, let's use our strength to reverse it. After Lin Hai regretted it, he ended the communication with Wang Hammer and connected to Chen Xi's instead, in order to get the money to make the ion cannon faster, he needed to make some effective actions.

"Sir, there's no movement yet." On the screen, Chen Xi said calmly, from the screen, it can be seen that he is in a private house, and there are some clone soldiers walking around from time to time, "The Japanese side is very calm, and we have not been able to collect any information about the Holy Brotherhood at the moment." ”

"Haven't heard a word from monitoring Japan's various electronic channels?" Lin Hai frowned, "Could it be Cohen?" Is Hartman giving us false information? Or is the intelligence outdated? ”

"I don't know." Chen Xi shook his head, "But I'm going to find an opportunity to hack into the internal network of Japan's intelligence agencies." That part of the network is something we can't monitor for the time being, and maybe we can get some clues from there. ”

"Be careful, until now, the Japanese have not let their guard down, and last time we hit them too hard, which made them a little crazy."

"That's true, judging from the information we have gathered so far, the Japanese are secretly purchasing a large number of weapons and equipment now, and they probably already know that we did it last time."

"That's natural, after such a long time, our weapons and equipment have appeared many times in other places, and even appeared in front of the people of country M, and we were in a hurry at the time, and we didn't clean up all the clues, we just eliminated those possible electronic records. It's been almost a year, and they've been able to find some clues. Now Japan has not directly approached us, but it is just trying to use the excuse to engage in military expansion and the like, and the people of country M are also taking the opportunity to suppress the people of country E, and they have no loss anyway. ”

"The Japanese are actually doing both." Chen Xi said, "They are already planning a plan to deal with us, so I think that the information that the Elder Group has appeared here should be true, and it is very likely that they are joining forces with the Japanese to deal with us." ”

"It's kind of funny." Although he said something funny, Lin Hai didn't have any smile on his face, and he asked Chen Xi, "Have you collected it, are they going to deal with us?" ”

"I don't know, but I just heard a little, their original plan was to hire other mercenaries to trouble us, but after we made a name for ourselves in Alvincent, they changed their minds and treated us as a national power. As for what they will eventually do, we haven't found out yet. But I think we might be able to find out when we succeed in invading each other's intelligence agencies. ”

"When will I find out?" Lin Hai asked, "If it's just Japan, with our current strength, even if we have a head-on confrontation, there will be no problem, but if we add the Holy Brotherhood and even the Sijing people, then we will have a little headache." So we need to know what they're going to do. ”

"It's inevitable, sir." Chen Xi replied, "If there are no surprises, my side will launch an operation tomorrow to hack into the internal network of the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office first to see if there is anything we need." (To be continued.) )
