In the void, a beam of light passed by and hit Snow Leopard-class Battlecruiser's Energy Shield hard.

Different from the Plasma Cannon just now, Positron Cannon is not an energy bomb, but a beam type, somewhat similar to a laser, but the killing principle is completely different from that of a laser.

Moreover, compared with the movement caused by Plasma Cannon just now, the power is obviously much smaller, and it only slightly stirred up a wave of Energy Shield.

"Quickly, report the data!"

"Elder Bai, the target ship Energy Shield has lost 12% of its integrity."

"12%? This is consistent with the results of the previous simulation. Although the power is much worse than that of Plasma Cannon, it is already comparable to the power of the current main gun of Snow Leopard-class Battlecruiser!"

"Elder Bai, your secondary gun is the same as the main gun on my Uranus. When will you upgrade my Uranus?"

"You want to upgrade your broken ship? It's better to build a new one. Otherwise, the current generation of engines and weapons will not be suitable for installation even with the structure of your ship!"

"Besides, the Orca-class battleships will soon be fully commissioned. As a result, as Legion Commander, you are still driving a smaller battleship, so you don't have any shame?"

Well, Lin Fan was a little embarrassed when Bai Zixuan said it in a fussy way.

Should I also buy a killer whale class? But isn't this just like an ordinary battleship? It's not classy at all!

"Lin Fan boy, are you thinking that there is no better warship than the killer whale class to serve as your flagship?"

Bai Zixuan saw through Lin Fan's little thoughts at a glance and cast a look of contempt.

"Uh! There's nothing we can do about it. There's nothing better!"

"Have you forgotten Io Federation? I heard that they have an 8-million-ton heavy battleship that is used as the flagship of each legion. Why don't you go and customize one there?"

"Yes, why did I forget about those angels, but does the structure of the battleship they built meet our needs?"

"Are you stupid? You can't tell them the size and specifications of the engine, energy device, weapons, etc. and ask them to leave space during the initial design. You just need them to build a hull for you. We will handle the other equipment later!"

Bai Zixuan said to Lin Fan with a bit of hatred.

He was obviously a better scientist than himself a few years ago, but how could he become stupid after fighting for a few years? No new technology has been developed in so many years, and he can't even figure out these basic problems!

If Lin Fan knew what Bai Zixuan was thinking now, he would definitely refute it.

Can you blame me for this? Ever since that damn system released the novice assessment tasks, it has completely entered a state of pretending to be dead, right?

But after listening to Bai Zixuan's words, Lin Fan had other ideas. Since he could ask Io Federation to customize the warship, why couldn't he ask Io Federation to make Orca-class Battleship?

You must know that Io Federation is an old level 3 civilization, with a population dozens of times that of humans. If the battleship productivity is fully powered, it is estimated to be at least 10 times that of humans.

The most important thing is that their shipbuilding technology is much better than that of humans. Lin Fan still remembers how beautiful those battleships of Io Federation are!

Just follow the method mentioned by Bai Zixuan just now, let Io Federation be responsible for the foundry of the ship body, and humans will be responsible for the later work of putting the equipment on the ship. This will definitely be much faster.

For example, if Orca-class Warship were to be completely refitted, 432,000 ships would be needed.

According to the current productivity of mankind, if 30,000 ships can be produced every year, it will take more than ten years to complete the replacement.

But if Io Federation is found as OEM, mankind can produce 90,000 ships by itself within 3 years, and at the same time let Io Federation OEM the remaining 300,000 ships within 3 years.

Wouldn't it only take 3 years to fully staff the two human legions?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan didn't care about Bai Zixuan anymore and ran out immediately. He wanted to go back and write this idea into a plan and submit it immediately!

Watching Lin Fan turn around and leave without saying a word, Bai Zixuan was so angry that his hair almost stood on end, while Liang Xue smiled bitterly and followed him.

That evening, a plan for building 432,000 Orca-class Battleships in three years was sent to the Interstellar Fleet headquarters.

Saunders was shocked after seeing the plan, and immediately changed hands and sent it to President Lin Zhen.

Finally, in the middle of the night, an emergency meeting was held at the Presidential Palace.

At this time, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and Lin Zhen, Ed, Saunders and the other nine staff had all arrived.

In the conference room, everyone was reading the materials in their hands carefully.

"I think this idea is very good and can completely solve our current problem of insufficient warship productivity!"

"That's right, and just letting Io Federation manufacture the hull will not reveal our key technologies!"

"The most important thing is that this is cheaper than making it ourselves. Io Federation handles all the materials by itself. We only need to pay some Energy Shield devices and Warp Drive Engine. The price we sell these things to Io Federation is a hundred times the profit."

"That's right, I think Admiral Lin Fan's plan can be even bolder. Let Io Federation manufacture all 432,000 warships!"

"No, if you let Io Federation do all the manufacturing, our own shipbuilding industry will be wasted. Admiral Lin Fan is not bold enough, but is ensuring the development of our industrial system!"

"It turns out that I was negligent. Yes, it is still necessary to leave a batch of battleships to be produced by ourselves!"

In the conference room, a group of staff were talking to each other, but everyone unanimously agreed to the plan.

According to this plan, not only can a large number of warships be built quickly, but it can even cost 99% less money than building it yourself. Where can I find such a good thing?

You must know that the Energy Shield and Warp Drive Engine currently sold to Io Federation every year are sold at a hundred times the price. Even the price of such a device is enough for Io Federation to build three killer whale-class hulls.

In other words, as long as you pay more than 100,000 sets of Energy Shield and Warp Drive Engine, Io Federation can OEM more than 300,000 Orca-class Battleship hulls for you, and you don't need to provide the materials.

This is almost like robbery. The key is that they are willing and even count the money for you!

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's formulate a detailed plan immediately, and then Ed will be responsible for it and negotiate with Aierfei Queen Bella!"

Lin Zhen said after looking at the staff who gradually became quiet.

"Okay, once the details are finalized, I will immediately consult with Aierfei Queen Bella!"

There is another chapter today, and the author will try to finish it before 4 o'clock!!
