Chapter 805: Chapter 800 Who is more awesome (Part 1)_1
“Hmm, so the total is 500 million credits,” Finn Lewis nodded. This protective force field wasn’t just for defense; it was also a shield. When engaged in combat, its defensive capability would be absolutely incredible, especially combined with a powerful main engine.
“It is 550 million credits.”
“Didn’t you just say 450 million?” Finn Lewis was startled.
“The additional 50 million is for us to exchange for some armor materials. Since our warship’s engine and other parts are made of such high-grade stuff, the armor and the main cannon, etc., certainly can’t fall behind. However, these items involve a one-time investment. Once we have exchanged for these material formulas, we can repeatedly use them. It’s just a one-time investment, which is indeed good news. Unfortunately, your highness, we are currently unable to produce the engines you exchanged for, including this type of force field device,” Luna Starfield said straightforwardly.
“Alright, 550 million then,” Finn Lewis thought for a moment and readily agreed. This left him with 12.5 billion credits. He started with 18 billion, and so much had been spent in an instant. You mustn’t look at the abundant credits Finn Lewis had; it took him quite a long time to save up so much.
But now, after having used them, the rate of increase in credits would not be so fast anymore.
“My multi-functional production factory can produce these, right?” Finn Lewis asked, his memory of the multi-functional production factory robust—thinking of it couldn’t help but be impressive, a ridiculously amazing factory built by hollowing out an entire planet, using the core of a planet as a power source. How incredibly outrageous that was didn’t need to be said.
“Of course, your highness. Our factory can produce almost anything in the Heritage System, but adjusting the production line is very intricate,” Luna Starfield said straightforwardly.
“If we produce the warship according to our design, what’s our production speed like?” Finn Lewis inquired after some thought.
“Yes, your highness. I have already issued the production task. In forty days, you will see the first batch of 20 warships and their auxiliary models,” Luna Starfield stated succinctly.
“I see,” Finn Lewis said, still itching at the sight of the new warships in the display. These new warships could be said to have entirely corrected the deficiencies of transit technology. With three modes of transition, the mobility of the entire fleet was unrestricted. Although consuming a lot of energy, with his strong main engine, that was not a concern.
“Your highness, there’s some not-so-good news,” Luna Starfield said after issuing the production task—remote control meant there was no need to leave.
“What news?” Finn Lewis asked bluntly.
“According to my source, your highness’s wish may fall through. The higher-ups of the Rochefort Clan are likely to intervene in the dispute between you and the Aitken Family. With their involvement, the chance of your starship production task being uncompleted drops to less than one in a thousand, meaning that you can’t claim your 1000-fold compensation,” Luna Starfield reported.
“Damn,” Finn Lewis cursed openly, “Wasn’t it said that families like theirs wouldn’t interfere with direct heirs’ disputes?” Finn Lewis asked irritably, dammit, a one-on-one agreement, and now adults were helping children—it seemed rather underhanded.
It was impossible for the Aitken Family to complete the production of 800 junk warships in three months, but Finn of course wouldn’t be naive enough to think it was also impossible for a member of the royal family. With Finn Lewis’s multi-functional factory at full production capability, it was estimated that over 1000 such junk warships could be produced in just a month.
“Obviously, your highness, you are very important to them, or rather, they take you very seriously,” Luna Starfield’s voice stated.
Finn Lewis was aware of this, but now he would rather not be the focus of such attention. However, he was not overly worried now. The reason was simple: Although there was a gap between the technology of the Galactic Federation and that of Earth, it didn’t mean there was a gap between Finn Lewis’s technology and the Galactic Federation’s.
The technology acquired from Zero was obviously more advanced than that of the Galactic Federation; otherwise, Finn wouldn’t be able to see so many advanced engines now. The Galactic Federation certainly had more advanced warships now, but nothing compared to the advanced technology Finn had exchanged for engines and materials.
