The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

"You two?"

Fifteen minutes later, Li Qing looked at the two men who came with Li Jingtun. The bald man walking in the middle lowered his head and looked worried, not at all as arrogant as before.

"What are you doing here? Why, do you feel uncomfortable and want to humiliate me again in person?"

"No no."

The man on the left twitched his mouth, cupped his fists and said:

"It was our Twitch who accidentally offended His Excellency Li Qing, and we are here to apologize to His Excellency Li Qing!"

Li Qing looked at them with a blank expression and said nothing, which made the two of them even more nervous and uneasy.

If it was someone else, they would really dare to humiliate them face to face again, but this person in front of them is different.

The two of them are arrogant, but they are not stupid. They know who can be provoked and who must not be provoked. The person in front of them belongs to the very small number of people who must not be provoked.

Although the strength of the Xuanshuang collar is very strong, and it has been honed by the alien mopping fleet in this northern border, and its force is not inferior to some weakened star navy lords, but it is not a military lord after all.

Moreover, during this period of time, Xuanshuangling needs to pursue a major event, which requires the consent of the Imperial Senate.

This matter itself has nothing to do with the military masters inside the empire, and disagreement is just a matter of thought, agree in a good mood, and disagree in a bad mood.

They didn't expect to offend a new lord in any ordinary auction, and they were wronged too. You, a noble lord, don't sit in a box and sit in the lobby. Isn't that ridiculous.

As a member of the Imperial Senate, Li Qing has the right to vote, although he may not necessarily vote.

In addition, he is also a member of the Li family of Qinghe, and he is also married to the Yu family of Jinmen. These two military leaders have their own friendly military leaders, which can affect a large part of the votes.

Under such circumstances, Xuanshuang leader provoked him for no reason, and if they didn't want to go back and be severely punished by the lord, they had to obtain Li Qing's understanding.

Although Li Qing didn't know why they were so arrogant before and how humble they were now, he roughly realized something.

After thinking about it, he said:

"It's okay to apologize, let's serve tea!"

The bald man Sha Ruizhong immediately showed joy on his face, nodded immediately and said:

"This is what it should be. I will apologize to you on the main channel of the fortress later, and I would like to ask Your Excellency Li Qing to respond."

As he spoke, he quickly summoned the waiter to bring a pot of tea, poured it himself and handed it to Li Qing.

He took the tea and nodded:

"Can."

"Don't bother the two of you, let's take our leave first!"

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized small crystal box and gently placed it on the table:

"This is an apology from both of us, please accept it!"

Li Qing nodded, and the two left with humble smiles on their faces.

He was really annoyed at the beginning, but they were so sensible, and they came over to apologize as soon as it was over, and the anger disappeared.

It's just some small conflicts, so you can't be reluctant, let alone provoke me like in some Long Aotian's novels, I will kill your whole family.

When they walked away, Li Jingtun smiled and said:

"The sincerity seems to be quite enough, but I don't know if the heart is enough."

Li Qing glanced at the small crystal box and said:

"You'll know if you don't see it."

Li Jingtun picked it up and opened it, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile:

"I am quite satisfied with the unregistered central bank card, which contains 10 trillion cash."

"Well, it's okay!"

There is one thing to say, there is really no fault with this kind of intention, and he can easily earn ten trillion yuan for such a trivial matter. What can he say, if he can, he would like to be offended a few more times.

Closer to home.

Li Jingtun pushed the bank card in front of him and said:

"I've already made an appointment with Uncle Wei. He's free around six in the afternoon. Let's go and sit down."

Li Qing nodded:

"Do you need to prepare anything?"

"There is no need to prepare anything. Uncle Wei is not only the representative of the family in Shanhaiguan, but also leads the family's resident division in Shanhaiguan. He is a major general in the Shanhaiguan fortress system. If you have anything to do here, you can contact Uncle Wei. "

Li Qing nodded.

The two didn't talk for long. They mainly introduced Li Qing's family's local situation, as well as the situation and location of the Wrath Thunder Legion, and reminded him to remember to visit the elders in the afternoon and not to go too far, and then left in a hurry.

As the industrial chief of a legion, he is very busy.

This Nu Lei Legion is a veteran legion that has been established for more than 20 years. Although Li Jingtun is of his generation, he is actually more than 40 years old, but he does not look old through genetic surgery.

This kind of senior army has extremely complicated internal relations and many things, but it is not like him who is directly in charge of it, and rarely pays attention to Jialan's internal affairs.

Watching Li Jingtun leave, Li Qing opened the Shanhaiguan regional main channel, and sure enough, he saw an apology post marked as Xuanshuangling, and opened it to see that it was posted by Sha Ruizhong.

Posts have been locked, others can not answer.

He thought about it, and responded in the post:

"I have accepted Xuanshuang Ling's apology, this matter is over!"

Sha Ruizhong, who was located in a room on the other side of the Star City, let out a long breath when he saw the response, turned his head and said to the companion next to him:

"It's done, the boss shouldn't be angry."

"Don't say if you are angry or not, go back and report to the boss first."

"Fine!"

After dealing with this matter, Li Qing seemed to have nothing else to do today except to meet the elder in the afternoon.

Another auction is tomorrow.

I opened the address book and thought about it, then closed it again.

Originally, I wanted to contact the West Lake Trading Company to discuss a business deal. The company that can open an auction house has a strong scale and relationship. In addition, they handled the matter quite fairly in the previous auction house, which impressed him very well. , maybe the next business of reselling supplies can find them.

But after thinking about it, I'd better meet that elder first, and then ask him if he is interested.

The sale of a large number of rare resources is actually an opportunity. He wants to see if he can establish a relationship with the Shanhaiguan Fortress through this elder.

Trading with an ordinary chamber of commerce is different from becoming a rare metal supplier for Shanhaiguan Fortress.

Although Li Qing's territory is on Zotar's side, there is a Shata United Empire civilization on Zotar's side. If this civilization is defeated, basically there will be no opponents in the subsequent territories.

It is impossible for him to stay there forever, and he must open up other fields.

Although the empire may prepare to launch an attack on the Kelzaka Star Sea Empire in the south after opening up the regular jump channels of the two star fields of Zutar and Tianjin, it will take a long time to wait until the southward attack, at least two or three Hundred years of preparation.

First of all, it is necessary to blow the wind inside the empire and call on a large number of new pioneers to develop there, and then establish an equally strong line of defense there to prevent the Kaierzaka Star Sea Empire's counterattack from the failure of the strategy.

The natural moat of the Zutar star field can block ordinary civilizations, but it is difficult to block such a powerful civilization as the Kelzaka Star Sea Empire.

In the past, the distance across two star fields was too far, the supply line was too long, and Nebula did have a lot of influence. The most important thing is that the United Empire of Mankind is not weak. There is no decent line of defense in southern Xinjiang, and the Kelzaka Star Sea Empire has never thought of a full-scale war with human civilization.

So even if the empire has this idea, it will take hundreds of years to shift the focus, and during this period he can only hang out in the northern border of the empire.

You don’t need to do anything else, you don’t even need to build a base, just put the fleet or something directly in the palm universe, the main thing is to open up the situation here, get some prestige, use the Canaan collar and the internal resources of the palm universe to exchange war resources from here , to enhance their own strength.

For the rest of the time, he spent most of his time thinking about planning and browsing various channels to learn about the situation of Shanhaiguan Fortress and nearby star fields.

Time passed unknowingly, and soon in the afternoon, Li Jingtun contacted him again:

"You go to Star City No. 171 first, and meet up then."

"it is good."

Looking at the star map, star city No. 171 is not very far from here. It is located in one of the many star cities on the edge of this planet, and it can be reached in one and a half hours at a normal speed.

But there is a faster way. There is a small teleportation system inside the star city, which allows individuals to teleport between star cities.

Li Qing didn't use the internal teleportation, since he wasn't in a hurry anyway.

Slowly came to the vicinity of No. 171 Star City, ate some food, Li Jingtun contacted again, he directly sent the identification signal of his warship, and after a while, he sent a location to the target anchorage of Star City.

Li Jingtun was already waiting by the side, and when he got off the boat, the two of them boarded an unmanned aerial vehicle, set the position and flew over automatically.

After about ten minutes, the small unmanned aerial vehicle came to a high-end residential area and stopped at the entrance of a small manor consisting of five villas and a high-rise building.

Li Jingtun pointed to the manor and said:

"This is the family's office in Shanhaiguan. You can write down the address, and you can come here at any time in the future."

Li Qing looked up at the manor and nodded.

There were several armed robot guards at the door. After Li Jingtun showed a sign, the aircraft entered and stopped before reaching the villa in the center.

Immediately, a middle-aged man in a suit came up and opened the door, and said to Li Jingtun:

"Major General Wei Xin is already waiting for you in the study on the third floor."

Li Jingting nodded:

"Let's go up by ourselves."

This is a home-style villa, Li Jingtun introduced as he walked:

"This building is the private residence of Major General Li Weixin. Usually, other clan members can live in that building temporarily if necessary. If you stay here for a long time in the future, you will also share a house."

Li Qing nodded.

"By the way, Major General Li Weixin is a generation older than us, and he ranks second in his lineage. You can call him Second Uncle, or Major General Weixin."

When the two came to the third floor, Li Jingtun skillfully opened the study, and saw a middle-aged man with a serious expression sitting behind a long desk in the spacious study.

As if sensing their arrival, he looked up and saw the two of them, immediately put the documents in his hands aside, and stood up with a smile on his serious face, saying:

"Whale Tun is here, sit wherever you want."

Looking at Li Qing again, he asked:

"Is it Li Qing's nephew?"

He immediately replied:

"Second Uncle, I'm Li Qing."

He immediately walked over with a smile on his face, and praised:

"I've heard of your name a long time ago. Grandpa said that you are the most outstanding descendant of my Qinghe Li family in the past few generations. When I saw you today, you are indeed very heroic!"

"Second Bo Liao Zan!"

"Excellence is excellence, don't be humble, come, sit first."

Li Weixin doesn't have the airs of an elder at all, and it's not easy to put on airs. After all, Li Qing is not another junior. Even Li Jingtun dares to put on airs, but Li Qing, who is already a lord, has surpassed him in terms of status and the force he currently has.

He rang the doorbell in front of his desk and asked a few servants to prepare tea. He asked straight to the point:

"I heard that Whale Tun said that you have a super dock that can build a large number of flagships at the same time. Is this true?"

Li Qing nodded:

"That's right."

"How many ships can be built at one time? Is it true that the conventional flagship can be built in one year?"

Li Qing nodded again:

"Yes, in fact, the second uncle can go and have a look now."

"Oh, what do you think?"

Li Qing stood up, stretched out his finger, and a black hole door opened. He pointed weakly at the black hole door and said:

"This is a treasure I own. It contains a huge independent space, and my super dock is in it."

Li Weixin and Li Jingtun both stood up and looked at the door of the black hole carefully, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

Li Qing didn't give in, and went straight to the door of the black hole:

"Now the dock is building four flagships, you can refer to them."

The two looked at each other and mustered up the courage to walk in.

In the next second, the space in front of the two of them changed, and their own study room appeared in a huge corridor, with white unknown metal handrails on the edge, and a very huge dock outside, a huge battleship keel frame was hanging in the dock , Countless mechanical arms are working back and forth in the keel frame, the speed is fast but not messy, and there is a strange beauty like flowing clouds and flowing water.

No need to ask, just seeing the size of the keel frame tells you that this is definitely a flagship.

Li Qing summoned a small aircraft to take them to another flagship construction site not far away, and spent almost an hour browsing the four flagship construction sites, as well as some large and small battleship construction sites.

Turning around and coming to the same place, the two were still in shock.

Shao Qing came back to his senses, the second uncle opened his mouth, waved and said:

"Let's go back first."

The door of the black hole opened, and Li Weixin walked in first.

When Li Qing was the last one to come out, he saw Li Weixin drinking a large cup of tea, slowly calming down his shock and excitement.

It's normal. So far, everyone who has seen the inner dock of the palm universe has been shocked, even those who are in high positions are the same. Even the higher the position, the more they can know what his super dock represents.

A flagship that takes five years to build can serve in one year, a battleship for three months, a cruiser for one month, a destroyer for twenty days, and a frigate for ten days.

What kind of efficiency is this?

what does that mean?

This means that with the shipbuilding capacity he currently has, as long as there are enough naval architects, and enough blueprints and materials, he can complete the construction of a complete division-level fleet in only two or three years.
