Warships were high-end weapons, especially the sub-main warships Bart had requested. They were controlled assets in every country.
These warships had no price tag at all. Not even Interstellar Pirates possessed vessels of this class.
These warships were even stronger than the main warships in most countries' Planetary Defense Fleets.
Warships were far more complex to manufacture. Their primary performance metric was instantaneous energy output.
Instantaneous energy output involved two crucial factors. The first was offensive power: the higher the instantaneous energy output, the shorter the charging time for a warship's Energy Weapons.
The second was defensive power, as it was also tied to the strength of the Energy Shield.
A warship could potentially suffer an energy attack that exceeded its shield's load limit in an instant.
So although warships did not look as large as civilian spacecraft, the performance of their internal systems surpassed civilian spacecraft by an unknown number of times.
Naturally, so did their cost.
The price of a country's main warships was an astronomical figure.
The main reason was that there were too few main warships, making it impossible to drive down the price.
Moreover, while main warships were consumables, their construction costs were extremely high, yet the chances of using them were very, very rare.
But they could not be done without. Even the production lines had to be maintained at all times, so that if needed, warships could be built at the fastest possible speed.
The sub-main warships Bart wanted had been the main warships of every country just a few hundred years ago.
As long as they did not face several countries' main warships at once, these vessels were practically invincible.
Of course, that was assuming they were not surrounded and attacked.
"Yes!" Hearing His Majesty say this, the Prime Minister nodded
