Chapter 633: Lack of money
These caravans, none of them made much money as the wolf clan.
Lu Chen sold more than 1,000 tons of bronze-level cooking, most of which made money. The other half fell into a state of unsalable, and Lu Chen simply took it back and shipped it out of the border, selling it to the Sun Shooting League at a price of 28 copper coins per unit.
What the Sun Shooting Alliance does not lack is manpower, and they will naturally arrange manpower to sell these hundreds of tons of grain into the Thunder Empire and the Ram Kingdom.
In addition, the fleet of the wolf clan also took the road of 100,000 mountains, and after entering the Thunder Empire, it was sold to Menghui Tang Dynasty at the same price. Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty is on the side of the Dark Walker Alliance, and it is an opponent with the Tenglong Guild and Tianyantong, and it is Lu Chen's priority business object.
For this reason, after Lu Chen gritted his teeth, he sold the fishing boat and silver-class catamaran that had increased production in order to catch more fish in the past month to Menghui Tang Dynasty, earning a processing fee of one or two thousand gold coins.
The fishing boats in the Moonlight Kingdom are actually saturated, and too many fishing boats will cause the Marquis of Jefferson to fall into an unhealthy state of production, pulling down profits.
"How's the tank getting rebuilt?" Lu Chen came to the inner city of Bay Town, which had begun to slowly rebuild. Because of the reward for the achievement of [The First City in the World], the inner city was not damaged, and it was the outer city walls, the ditches outside the city, and the harbor that began to be repaired and rebuilt.
The answer to Lu Chen's question was Xiao Manxiong, the chariot has the ability to attack, and the main profession involved in production is a forger rather than an engineer.
"It's a bit difficult, the gold-level chariot mentioned in the manual can't be produced at all now, so at least it won't be possible until I advance to the [Forging Grandmaster]. Now we can produce Bronze-class vehicles.
It can carry 20 people, and its durability is twice as high as that of the village earthen wall. At the moment, it can withstand about 2,000 hits from a level 60 mage. ”
"Only 2,000?" Lu Chen was very dissatisfied, don't think that 500 times is a lot, the volume of the bronze-level chariot is almost as big as a 31-seater bus in reality. If a large vehicle is dropped on the battlefield, it will suffer more than 10 attacks per second on average.
In this way, a tank can only survive on the battlefield for a few minutes.
Of course, this is only a theoretical value. The vehicle increases the attack range of the personnel on board, and even the vehicle itself has 6 light repeaters. Under normal circumstances, the enemy falls first three or a quarter of the people in the process of approaching the tank.
Whether the rest of the people can chant skills with peace of mind depends on whether the wolf clan troops who cooperate with the chariot operation agree or not.
"It can't be higher, after all, the attack power of the tank is too strong. I didn't expect that after the translation of those words in the manual, there would be 6 repeaters on the bronze-class chariot. This crossbow has three arrows in one shot, and two arrows can kill the crispy skin in seconds, which is very powerful.
If we have hundreds of chariots, we can make the enemy fall to the ground as long as we drive smoothly on the battlefield. ”
Xiao Manxiong somewhat accused Lu Chen of being a layman, and a weapon with strong attack power has weak defense. If you want a trebuchet, a weapon that can even smash a hole in the city wall, its defense is even worse than that of a level 50 priest.
"Hmm... Well, the rest doesn't matter for now. Try to produce 50 vehicles in 10 days, regardless of the cost! ”
"Good!" With Lu Chen's words, regardless of the cost, Xiao Manxiong can let go of his hands. Even if in the manufacturing process, there is only a success rate of two or three percent, and we are not afraid!
After asking about the chariot, Lu Chen asked about the manufacture of ships, ballistas, and trebuchets.
Trebuchet manufacturing is still not a production line, so it can only be made by hand with a large number of people. The production of ballistae has formed an assembly line, and the initial investment of 800 people has been reduced to 300 people, and the extra 500 people have been thrown into trebuchet manufacturing.
Ship building is still like that, the number of players with a sub-class like boatman is not much, and the entire Moonlight Kingdom is only a little more than 200 people when it is full, and they are basically in the pocket of the wolf clan, so it is difficult to increase productivity.
With the shipyard at full capacity, it can produce seven or eight fishing boats a day, one silver-class catamaran a day, and a gold-class destroyer every five days. As for the Zijin-class battleships, even if there are drawings, no one can produce them now.
After a general understanding, Lu Chen knew that the wolf clan now had about 900 ballistas. 400 of them are on the head of the bay town and 300 on the head of the [Independence Light Fortress]. The remaining 200 are ready for sale.
Just when the war came, Lu Chen was bound to invest a large amount of military spending. Not to mention anything else, after players have made achievements and earned guild contribution points, they must go to the guild warehouse to exchange things.
If you don't get a batch of good things and throw them into the guild warehouse before the war, how can you mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for the war?
"The money is still not enough..."Lu Chen has already thrown nearly 30,000 gold coins to the Yuwen Demon God to arm the God General and buy war materials, he now has more than 20,000 gold coins in his hand, but he still has a headache about money.
If it weren't for Lu Chen's calculation of the fried grain group, and using the price they fought, he earned more than 40,000 gold coins in one go, and the current situation of the wolf clan was not much better than that of the Liangshan Brotherhood.
The level 80 dungeon will not open for at least three months, so the material hoarding group led by Lu Chen, Nuoya, Xuan Wufeng, Xiangnan Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and Seeing Qian Yankai has no way to return the funds now. This kind of money, Lu Chen will inevitably invest it one after another, don't want to get the money back now.
Then there aren't many ideas left to make money.
"Golden autumn and October... In the first year of the starry sky in my previous life, I remember that there seemed to be one or two more important events...
There's no food to play with, and there doesn't seem to be anything else to stock up on at the moment, so the big mission has to wait for the anniversary... Wasteland? The ground map is basically developed, and the underground world will not open until at least the middle of next year. That's right... Overseas! ”
Lu Chen's eyes lit up, "Old A, arrange a golden ship for me." ”
More than two hours later, the flagship of a fleet of ships that had returned from the merchant was called by Lu Chen, who took the 2,000 wolf guards that belonged to him during the war and went to sea. Although most of the wolf guards are tried-and-tested, if others want to calculate you, there are many ways to infiltrate.
Therefore, the news that the poisonous wolf hurriedly went to sea immediately attracted the attention of the major forces, and many people speculated whether the wolf clan had discovered another ruin and turned around to inquire about the news with the Yuwen Demon God.
The Yuwen Demon God blocked them with a word, "Even if it is, what can you do?" ”
Although Linhai City is near the sea, there are only two seas that can go to sea, and other places are blocked by lofty mountains. The first is Fish-Man Bay, which is impossible to get through until players can't deal with the Fish-People under the surface of the open sea.
The second is the Marquis of Jefferson, which is simply the back garden of the wolf clan! Let's not talk about whether it can go or not, among the hundreds of large and small forces in Linhai City, who is holding a boat in his hand? At most, there are a few fishing boats, or a few silver-class catamarans bought from the wolf clan, which can't carry many people at all.
