Me, The Station Reporter

On the deck of the fishing boat, Jiang Cheng looked at the 3.6 billion available temporary quota displayed on the host interface, and he was filled with excitement.

He already has 3.6 billion redemption points, and including the temporary quota, this is 7.2 billion points.

With such a huge exchange point, the upcoming 5th Fleet seems to be nothing!

"Dear host, if you have used the temporary exchange quota, please be sure to repay it all within the specified time." The system issued a reminder.

"Stop talking nonsense. It's impossible for me to go bankrupt. Open the system exchange mall for me." Jiang Cheng ordered.

"Dear host, please wait a moment!"

Soon, the system brought up the exchange mall.

"With 7.6 billion exchange points, what should I exchange for?" Jiang Cheng thought quietly.

Previously, they planned to exchange for a nuclear ship and equip it with some warships, so as to deter the Fifth Fleet from making rash actions.

After all, the deterrent effect of nuclear ships is still very powerful, and the outside world may even mistakenly think that nuclear warheads are equipped on submarines.

It's a simple truth. Jiang Cheng can even build a nuclear submarine. Who can say that he can't build a nuclear bomb?

Nuclear deterrence is no joke. Who can ignore it?

Now that Jiang Cheng's available redemption points have doubled, he feels that he needs to change his plan.

With his mind sinking, Jiang Cheng selected the products that suit him in the system mall.

Soon, the brief information of an aircraft carrier came into view.

[Chengfeng-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier—the maritime overlord produced by the system, with a length of 344 meters, a width of 78 meters, a draft of 12 meters, a full load tonnage of 130,000 tons, a crew of 3,856 people, two nuclear reactors for power plant, and a maximum speed of 35 knots.

Ship-borne armament: 4 missile silos, 2 short-range air defense systems, and can carry up to 88 carrier-based aircraft of various types. Its exchange price is 1 billion exchange points. 】

"One billion exchange points, this price is very affordable!" Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered, and he felt a little excited.

If you look at the data, you will know that the performance of this aircraft carrier is much better than the largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States. Its full load tonnage of 130,000 tons alone can explain everything.

You know, the Ford, the largest in the United Navy, has a full load tonnage of only about 120,000 tons, but this Chengfeng-class aircraft carrier is actually a full 10,000 tons larger.

The most important thing is that the Chengfeng-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier only requires 1 billion redemption points, which is equivalent to 1 billion yuan. This price is simply a truly conscience price.

"Dear host, the technology level contained in the system far exceeds the current Blue Star, so the cost of this aircraft carrier has been reduced to the extreme, almost equal to the price of raw materials." The system explained unhurriedly.

"We have an aircraft carrier, but it has to be paired with a carrier-based aircraft..." Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly and turned to the carrier-based aircraft.

[Flying Eagle: A fifth-generation fighter aircraft produced by the system, it has a length of 15 meters, a wingspan of 10 meters, a height of 4.2 meters, an empty weight of 14 tons, and a maximum take-off weight of 35 tons.

The maximum speed is Mach 2.2, the range is 1,250 nautical miles, the combat radius is 600 nautical miles, and the practical ceiling is 18,900 meters.

Airborne armament: four-barreled airborne machine cannon, with a storage capacity of 188 rounds, and can carry 12 missiles of various types. Its exchange price is 50 million exchange points. 】

"The fifth-generation fighter, flying at Mach 2.2, is very good and powerful..." Jiang Cheng felt happy when he saw the performance introduction of the Flying Eagle fighter.

Soon, Jiang Cheng's face fell again. This kind of fighter plane requires 50 million exchange points, which is 50 million rice gold.

The Chengfeng-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier can carry 88 carrier-based aircraft. Based on this number, it must carry at least 60 fighter jets.

Calculated this way, if all of them are equipped with Flying Eagle fighters, these 60 fighters alone will require 5 billion redemption points, which he simply cannot afford!

"Dear host, as far as I know, the fighters on the aircraft carriers of various countries are not mainly fifth-generation fighters. They only carry a small number of fifth-generation fighters." The system said slowly.

"That's right, even the United States does not have such deep pockets." Jiang Cheng reacted, recalling the information about aircraft carriers from various countries in his mind.

For example, the conventional aircraft carriers of the Three Kingdoms are also equipped with third-generation fighters!

Today, countries around the world still mainly use third- and fourth-generation fighters, and only a dozen or so countries have fifth-generation fighters.

Half an hour later, Jiang Cheng finally selected the carrier-based aircraft needed for the Chengfeng nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, a total of 88 fighter aircraft of various types.

Due to being stuck at the exchange point, Jiang Cheng only chose ten fifth-generation fighters. The others were all fourth-generation fighters, such as fighter jets, early warning aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, patrol aircraft, etc.

Even so, redeeming these fighters still requires 2.1 billion redemption points, which is a little more than twice as expensive as those for aircraft carriers.

Then, Jiang Cheng looked past the aircraft carrier and fighter planes and looked at the warships and submarines.

A complete aircraft carrier formation requires not only aircraft carriers and fighter aircraft, but also escort warships, underwater submarines and supply ships.

After half an hour, Jiang Cheng finally selected a warship and submarine that he was satisfied with.

[Breaking Wave-class guided missile cruiser, with a full load tonnage of 14,900 tons, and an exchange price of 350 million exchange points. 】

[The Tornado-class guided missile destroyer has a full load capacity of 9,800 tons and the exchange price is 150 million exchange points. 】

[Burmese-class guided missile frigate, with a full load capacity of 7,500 tons, the exchange price is 100 million exchange points]

[Deepsea-class conventionally powered submarine, with a full load tonnage of 8,500 tons, and an exchange price of 300 million exchange points. 】

[Sea Lion-class supply ship, with a full load capacity of 75,000 tons, the exchange price is 80 million exchange points. 】

Looking at the five types of ships in the system mall, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "Made, they are not cheap!"

"Dear host, all the exchange items in the system mall are relatively affordable..." the system said with disdain.

"Cough..." Jiang Cheng coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment.

He knew very well that all the redemption items in the system mall really did not deceive him, and every item was of high quality and low price.

"1 aircraft carrier, 2 cruisers, 4 destroyers, 4 frigates, 6 submarines, 2 supply ships, how about this configuration?" Jiang Cheng asked the system, hoping to get a reasonable suggestion.

Jiang Cheng only had a superficial understanding of the navy. He didn't know much about it. After all, he was not a professional.

"Dear host, this configuration is feasible. It has both the ability to rush and the ability to protect. If calculated according to this configuration, the combat effectiveness of this fleet is already very powerful." The system replied.

"One aircraft carrier plus 88 fighter planes requires 3.1 billion redemption points."

"Two Wavebreaker-class cruisers require 700 million redemption points."

"Four Tornado-class destroyers require 600 million redemption points."

"Four Burmese-class frigates require 400 million redemption points."

"Four deep-sea-class conventional submarines require 1.8 billion redemption points."

"Two Sea Lion-class supply ships require 160 million redemption points."

On the deck of the fishing boat, Jiang Cheng muttered to himself.

After his calculations, 6.76 billion redemption points were needed to redeem such a fleet.
