Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

Chapter 433 Transport Captain

For Luo Lan.

What is the biggest function of a planetary core?

Is it to transform a planet into a planet-class battleship?

Obviously, no!

After all, once a planet deviates from its original orbit, it may even leave the star system.

So...

There is no longer an environment suitable for human survival.

Unless you build fully enclosed shelter-like buildings on the entire surface of the planet.

But that doesn't really make any sense, does it?

In particular, this will lead to the complete destruction of the ecosystem, which will need to rely on other supply channels for support.

Unless all the people above only eat technological food from now on.

Therefore, Luo Lan would not do this because there are too many disadvantages.

So, let's build a smaller one, a super-large battleship that can be supported by current jump technology and is just the right size to pass through the cosmic currents, or even...

You can also install your long-cherished fantasy, which is full-coverage degenerate armor, and build a warship that cannot be easily penetrated by armor even with star-level combat power. Isn't that wonderful?

After all, when it comes to the creation core, size is everything, not quality.

No matter how heavy the degenerate material is, as long as the overall size of the warship does not exceed its range of effect.

Then, nothing will be a problem.

Isn't this the best use?

The only problem is that even if the super space factory can mass-produce degenerate materials, it will still require three years of production capacity to meet the needs of a war star.

This is undoubtedly something Luo Lan cannot accept!

However, this is not an unsolvable problem.

After all, Luo Lan is already an EX-level city builder, and all buildings are fully open.

If the capacity of one is not enough, then build two. If two are not enough, then build three!

However, after Luo Lan checked the cost of the super space factory, he chose another option.

Because all his current space points added together are just enough to build one.

Therefore, Luo Lan had only two choices: build one first, accumulate points, and then build more later.

The other one is...

Think of another way.

Fortunately, there is another type of factory within the system. Compared with the super space factory, it lacks the word "super" and has a single function.

The super space factory is a complete industrial chain, from raw material processing to parts production to final warship assembly.

But obviously, Luo Lan doesn't need this now, otherwise...

Simply to expand the production of degenerate materials will undoubtedly cause various other production lines to be manufactured and idle at the same time.

Ordinary space factories are much more suitable.

Although an ordinary space factory only has one customized production line, this is exactly the effect Luo Lan wants.

And the price is only one twentieth of that of the super space factory.

It's absolutely perfect!

Therefore, Luo Lan directly selected 10 ordinary space factories and set all of their production lines as degenerate material production lines.

All in all, it only cost 50% of the price of a super space factory.

And once these ten factories are in place, Luo Lan will have eleven degenerate material production lines.

In four months, all the degenerate materials needed for the battle star can be completed while ensuring that other projects are not affected.

At the same time, starting now.

The main part of the battle star, except for the outer shell armor, can also be built.

It just so happens that the manufacturing time given by the Communication Design Bureau is also four months!

So, four months later, the main body of the battle star was completed, and the degenerate armor was also completed simultaneously, just the right time!

Finally, just put on the outer armor!

A battle star that is extremely powerful in both firepower and defense...

It's done!

With this thing, Luo Lan became more confident about the battle a year later!

Of course, it would be great if we could build more.

Therefore, Luo Lan issued a new order.

The newly-departed Third Fleet was required to leave some of the enemy's important figures alive every time it conquered a star system, and then let the interrogation experts from the intelligence department on board the ship participate.

See if we can get any intelligence on other planetary cores.

As for the First and Second Fleets that have just returned and are undergoing jump engine modifications, the same strategy will be adopted in the future.

Luo Lan hopes to find more planetary cores before the war begins.

and...

Create more battle stars!

------

now.

It is thousands of light years away from the sun.

A large number of warships continued to emerge from the ocean currents.

There were more than ten thousand warships that had already sailed away and lined up in neat arrays.

And more warships are constantly sailing out.

One of them was several hundred meters long, and it was obviously a flagship, with the huge warship of the Lot Pirates hanging on it.

On the bow deck, Captain Harvey Lott was frowning as he listened to the reports from the people around him.

"you sure?"

"Yes, not only can we not contact those four guys, but even their base can't be contacted either. Moreover, within a hundred light years around the target, nearly half of the pirate groups we know about can't be contacted, and as time goes by, the number of pirate groups that can't be contacted is increasing!"

"Who did it?"

"It's not clear yet, but... I have a very bold and unrealistic guess!"

"Tell me!"

Harvey Lott raised his eyebrows.

Then asked.

"Boss, according to the time calculation, the first ones that we couldn't contact were the four cannon fodder pirate groups that we sent out and should have arrived by now!"

"Then, it's those rubbish pirate groups centered on the target planet!"

"So, the whole thing started on the target planet and then spread outward. Could it be..."

The vice-captain of the Loto Pirates did not continue speaking.

But Harvey Lott had understood what he meant.

"You mean, after eight hundred years, the people on that planet have developed and are capable of star travel and space combat?"

"Yes!"

"But this doesn't make sense. If that's the case, then why didn't they fight their way out before? Why did they have to wait until the four cannon fodder groups left before taking action?"

"Captain, don't forget that this is a planet without any Creation Core minerals, and those four cannon fodder groups... actually sent thousands of ship-grade Creation Cores to them!"

......

......

Harvey Lott was stunned for a moment.

It turns out that he went to the four cannon fodder groups to intercept the One-Eyed Pirate Group, but failed and instead became the captain of the transport group.

A large number of creation cores were sent there, giving them the ability to leave the planet, as well as...

The ability to conduct interstellar travel?

Thinking of this, his whole face darkened.
