July 26, Jade Star Interstellar Shipyard.

"Boss, why don't we dismantle the ship-cutting knife?"

The thin and small figure jumped down from the platform on the side of the battleship and ran to Qin Lang.

Qin Lang, who was standing nearby and watching, scratched his head: "Why do you have to dismantle it..."

"It's so ugly, meow!" There was an inconspicuous black mark on the cat girl's face, which seemed to be oil stains. She frowned and pointed at the hull of the battleship, "The armor plates on the belly of the ship were all removed, just to decorate.

With such a short and small knife, the route inside the cabin is squeezed and deformed, meow!”

"Well……"

That being said, it is true.

In order to install this ship-cutting knife in the center of the battleship, not only a pair of secondary batteries for short-range air defense were removed, but also a piece of the armor plate in the core area was removed. The entire hull seemed to be horizontally

A hollow tube was inserted.

The thrusting ship-cutting sword is embedded in this "scabbard".

"Meow, besides, if the enemy's kinetic energy weapon hits here, the battleship may break directly?" The cat lady's nose moved.

Thinking of yesterday's experience in the Sixth Sector when the side of the ship was hit by the Abyss Illuminance main cannon, Qin Lang broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately they are not using kinetic energy weapons.

"Then... will it be troublesome for you to dismantle it?" He swallowed, "This ship is a modified model without drawings."

"No problem, meow~" Yan Xiaoyou narrowed his eyes and smiled, then hugged Qin Lang's arm, lay on him and smelled carefully, "Boss, did you come back from the store, meow? I

Smells catnip!”

"Does your nose have the ability to make something out of nothing?" Qin Lang looked at her with a black look on his face, until the guy wiped the black stains off his face, and then let go with satisfaction, "Don't think I don't know what you want to do!

"

When did this cat lady start to become so bad?

"Hey~"

"You will be punished if you act cute out of spite." He raised his hand and pinched her cheek, then walked to the console behind him and opened the mission plan, "I'll give you three days, can you complete the modification? I'm going to use this soon.

Ship."

"Meow?"

Yan Xiaoyou tilted her head, with a puzzled look on her face: "With two engineering teams, 24 hours is enough. But what else does the boss plan to use it for?"

"Pretending." Qin Lang grinned, "Ahem, it's actually a threat."

What I asked Sister Qin Shuang to do a few days ago didn't seem to go well.

"Then don't use this ship, meow. Anyway, the latest destroyer ordered by the boss will be arriving soon, why not just use that ship, meow?"

Qin Lang was stunned by Yan Xiaoyou's words.

Yes, it's been more than two months, and it's almost time to deliver it.

In early May, Huo Zhong signed a long-term large-scale military ship transaction agreement with Yan's Heavy Industry, a super military industrial group in the Yunhuan Star Region. According to the consensus reached in the agreement, Huo Zhong will, at least in the next two years,

Orders for more than 50 star-class warships of various types will be paid, and Yan's Heavy Industry will process these orders with the highest priority.

This means that the friendship between Qin Lang and Yan Xiaoyou has risen from a personal level to an organizational level.

Huozhong and Yanshi Heavy Industries have established a very solid and mutually beneficial economic relationship, and the two organizations have also stepped from the friendly exchange period to the honeymoon period.

So at that time, Qin Lang directly placed an order for the first batch of destroyer formations.

There are three ships in total. The "Tuna-class" was fully modified and upgraded, and the hull design was optimized, finally forming a more advanced style "Dagger-class" star destroyer.

At the same time, this is also the first-generation interstellar destroyer independently developed and designed by Huozhi in a true sense.

"Meow~ Boss, speaking of which, our Pyro fleet already has nine ships, and you don't even have a dedicated ship. Isn't that not good, meow?" Yan Xiaoyou came over and scratched his arm with her paws,

A mischievous expression.

"It's not good to have exclusive ships. Starting to build exclusive ships before the battle formation is fully formed is a waste of money in disguise."

Qin Lang rolled his eyes at him and entered the information "24 hours, modification" into the mission plan.

"Are you thinking that I don't usually use my own ship anyway? I can just modify it in the shipyard and play with it, right?"

"Meow? There is no way! Hehe, isn't this because I'm afraid that the boss will go out to do business in the future and lose his cards if he doesn't have a dedicated ship?"

Yan Xiaoyou scratched his ears, then shouted to call the engineering team, and ran away with a smile.

Qin Lang stood in the shipyard, touching his chin and thinking about it.

"There is no need for a dedicated ship, but it seems feasible to set up a dedicated command ship?"

…

At noon the next day, three star destroyers, all black with dark gray and dark gold stripes, were sent to the e99u galaxy.

Several ships have not yet been marked with ship numbers, but the red flames spray-painted on the sides of the hulls are extremely conspicuous.

These destroyers landed in the space dock in batches, arousing the amazement of Emerald Star players.

Several players who were practicing driving on the driving school spacecraft gathered around the space dock and used the video function on their panels to film the entire process of the destroyer entering the port.

I also took a shot of "that man" arriving at the pier driving a landline.

On the player forum, the discussion about the military strength of Emerald Star and Fire has once again become a hot topic.

"Hey, my little dagger!"

Qin Lang walked around the first ship of the Gladius-class destroyer, and he felt like he couldn't put it down.

Uncle Kumar, who had finished handling the organizational affairs, accompanied Qin Lang to observe the whole process.

"Hey, these three good ships will soon be handed over to that guy Lao Wen." Sitting in the captain's seat in the command room, Qin Lang sighed.

"Chief, we have been increasing the military budget in the past six months." Kumar stood beside him with a sad look on his face, "Economic construction funds have now become a financial shortcoming."

"I know what you are talking about, but there is nothing I can do about it." Qin Lang shrugged, "You have also seen the situation in the Sixth Star District now. The situation is not very optimistic. We must focus more on armaments."

I don't know why, Qin Lang always feels that Nidhogg's military strength has dropped a lot in this life.

In other words, he is not as bellicose as in his previous life.

"Look at Lao Wen, aren't we training the new recruits day and night now?" Qin Lang sighed, then raised his head, "By the way, how is our current military personnel structure?"

"There are 33,000 people in total, including 15,000 extra-dimensional humans, basically all ground service soldiers. The fleet has a strength of 9,700 people, and a total of 8,300 logistics, technical and operational personnel." Kumar immediately answered with detailed data, "The extra-dimensional humans are because of their own

Their special traits would suddenly disappear for a long time from time to time, so I assigned them all ground handling duties."

Qin Lang nodded.

It is normal for players to go offline. According to past experience, the full-time online coverage of players is about 65% of the total number of players. As long as the number of players is exceeded according to this ratio, it will be fine.

"There is one more thing." Kumar said, "Chief, my daughter's affairs don't seem to be going well."

"oh?"

Qin Lang scratched his head, and the face of a fat, bald man flashed in his mind.

"The people from e97u seem to be a little jumpy?"

He pressed on the armrest of the chair and stood up: "I understand, I'll go find Shuang'er later and ask."

"Let's send this warship to the shipyard downstairs first." Qin Lang chuckled and patted his backpack, "Let me make this ship magically modified first."

…

"Slipway No. 2 is inspecting the ship's condition."

"The inspection is completed, it is in good condition and can be modified."

"The large-scale robotic arm is ready...the accessory manufacturing factory has been connected and can carry out equipment disassembly and manufacturing tasks at any time."

In the interstellar shipyard, Qin Lang input the mission instructions into the console step by step, and the four large mechanical arms around him immediately started working, starting with the outer armor, dismantling various weapons and equipment.

"Boss, can you modify it like this?"

The cat girl who ran over from the next door slipway to join in the fun was watching Qin Lang's operation, scratching her cheek with some uncertainty.

"To be honest, I'm not sure. But Edit's technology shouldn't lie to me." Qin Lang shrugged, and after the mechanical arm dismantled all the exteriors, he took the cat girl to the side of the ship.

He opened his backpack and took out a black thing similar to a Rubik's Cube. This "black block" was the size of a palm and was covered with pink and colorful lines, which looked very fantasy.

"Boss, what is this? It has Edith's text symbol meow on it!"

"Hey, this is a big baby!"

Qin Lang took this thing in his hand and gently knocked it on the tall hull of the destroyer.

A panel popped up in front of my eyes.

"This large vehicle unit is about to be modified. Do you want to confirm?"

Qin Lang chuckled and pressed the confirm button.

"Modification requirements: Metz high conduction path x300, minimum modification level: level 30."
