How Am I Still Alive?

"How's the battle going?"

".I don't know, but our business is very good, so the battle situation should be okay."

The merchant ship Ping An is the current flagship of the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce. It is also the largest ship in the second generation Ark class.

Redemption, Guan Xinxian’s Xiao Sang, as a part of him, also accompanied him into divine sleep and "hidden".

With the expansion of the major trade routes of the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce, the demand for the shipping industry is also great. In this regard, someone in the road actually has no advantage. Lin Nu’s other branches have invested more, accumulated more technology, and researched and developed earlier. Now Dongguo is buying shipbuilding technology from them.

But on the safe side of the road, there is "Magic Plant Industry". Since Ark has not only proven its reliability, but also with "Lamp Tree" and "Fuso Wood" being recognized by the world (chosen by the God of Redemption), the output, The quality doubled, and the second and third batches of ships all chose Fuso wood arks.

Their speed is average, but their carrying capacity is astonishing. As living bodies, they can not only carry magic plant weapons, but also consume very little (fuel). Their sustainable route time is ridiculously long, which is considered one of the specialties of the Redemption Chamber of Commerce.

And because of the existence of the Redemption, it carries the concept of the "ark" of this world in a sense, allowing its kind, especially future generations, to have the characteristics of a "ship" and receive great blessings in this regard.

".It looks like we need to order some warships."

The journey back to the deck was uneventful, but I began to complain that my "ship" was not strong enough.

As far as merchant ships and transport ships are concerned, the Ark series is almost perfect, with high carrying capacity, high endurance, and low consumption. In addition, it also has the high defense and regeneration capabilities of biological warships. Most importantly, the cost is quite low, and It requires a lot of steel and special machinery.

But now, Lu Ping'an looked at the other warships on the battlefield that were killing them, and knew that money must be spent on this.

"How about waiting two years for the official warship to be released? It's too late, so let's order it from Lin Nu. But now I'm afraid the whole world knows that there is going to be a war, and even if you have money, you can't buy a warship. Tsk, are you going to waste me? A favor?"

Today's Lu is not the little shrimp he used to be. In most cases, his "favors" can directly determine the rise and fall of a place. At this point, he has become more cautious. High-level professionals also have connections. In order to It's really not worth owing a favor for this "little thing".

"Lu Ping'an, maybe I can help you imitate it. Although I'm not sure you can get the most elite level, I'm sure I can achieve it at 60-70% with half the purchase price."

Fang Wen took the initiative to ask for help at this time. Lu Pingan thought about it and finally shook his head.

It's not that I don't believe in her level, but it's just stupid to offend some big bosses over this matter, and it eventually turns into a world-scale business war.

In a sense, all the big bosses with territories and industries are equivalent to the big chaebols and large cross-border companies in Lu Ping'an's previous life.

They are large enough to a certain extent, and they basically have comprehensive technical reserves. They may be good at what they are good at and what they are not good at, but there is no reason why they cannot produce some mid- to low-end products.

Clicking on the technology tree does not directly produce results. There are a lot of by-products in the process.

For example, someone who makes optical lenses for high-end cameras has long been able to produce mid- to low-end photolithography machines with their technology. However, after calculating the cost and the possible commercial competition, there is really no need to compete with another large company's main business. Industrial competition.

This is the division of spoils in the modern world-class industrial chain. Industrial division of labor. Everyone takes a piece and concentrates on making high profits. There is no need to cause overall business competition for that extra income.

The premise of this is obviously an era where "capital" and "interest" are king. Lu Ping'an is not sure whether the Dongguo officials will interfere or change anything after they arrive.

But now, let’s adapt to the needs of the times.

"Place an order. Place a batch of orders with Lao Zhao. One aircraft carrier, three destroyers, and ten underwater ships. They will provide the supporting ships themselves. Let them deliver the goods to me within half a year. I owe him. A favor.”

Lu Pingan did not expect that the war would come so quickly and violently, nor did he expect that the target of the war would be the Eight-claw ethnic group.

After all, water warfare and underwater warfare are completely different concepts. Even with the divine blessing of underwater breathing, the abilities that strong humans can exert underwater are quite limited.

This is not just about subtraction, but when it is certain that you can only exert 30% to 40% of your combat power, but your opponent can reach 120%, why would you go to a dangerous area to seek death?

"I thought our opponent would be the Abyss Zerg or the Lava Tribe."

There is no other reason. It is easy to deal with and there are enough benefits. You are not an aquatic tribe, so why would you go to the sea to grab territory.

But now, when fighting the Bazhao Hai Clan has become a political task and a part of the strategic mission, it is meaningless to consider who to fight. How to complete the task is the key.

"Let's complete the underwater ships first."

Even if the road is safe, fighting underwater is still pretty bad.

In addition to the sense of dislocation in all directions, what is more important is the "sense of isolation" after going to the sea. If being beaten, divided, and unable to find a supply point is the norm, the strong may also be dragged into the deep sea to die, which is extremely uncomfortable, not to mention the middle-aged and middle-aged people. A low-level professional.

Most of the enemies and space cracks are in the deep sea. It is certain to go into the sea, but the further down they go, the more pressure the team will be under.

Defeat is actually not terrible. Being scattered and lost under the sea is a disastrous result.

Based on the experience accumulated over the years, at this time, underwater combat platforms are needed to help.

If there are enough underwater ships and enough underwater breathing grace, the sea battle will not be a guerrilla attack from all directions, but a steady front-line advancement war. At this rhythm and style, it will return to the tactical system familiar to the Easterners.

No matter which direction you come from, I will use heavy equipment, underwater ships and infantry to advance slowly.

Although it is a rough replica of the land infantry-tank tactics, it has been proven effective in past wars, and there is no reason not to continue now.

This is also on Lu Ping'an's purchase list. The bulk is underwater ships and equipment, and the water ships that are usually the focus are only slightly purchased. Most of the battles are destined to be in the deep sea. The surface is actually not important because of the existence of the air force advantage of the side.

Lu Ping'an didn't buy too much. His plan was to use this batch of purchases first. When the shipbuilding technology in the East Country improved, he would directly buy the military ones. According to his past experience, that thing is definitely much better than the private ones. Maybe half the price can get several times the performance, and they are all products of the East Country military, which is convenient for actual combat cooperation.

Moreover, private enterprises have another problem. As long as the customers are not picky, they will not constantly update their main products. Lu Ping'an is actually not satisfied with the performance of these "battleships". He is still waiting for the government to come up with the next generation after eating up the technology.

It's enough for now. The mission he came here to perform is mainly to build trade routes and front-line bases. No one expects this "treasure" to go to the front line.

In theory, he doesn't even need to come to the front line of the battlefield, but since he is here, he naturally wants to try the taste of naval warfare.

There are many forces and strong men like him. Facing the gradually unfolding world war, they are all adjusting and correcting to increase their survival rate in deep-sea operations.
