There is a huge screen at the front of Qi Yun’s office, like a floor-to-ceiling window.

But in fact, this is not a window. There is still thick armor on the outside, which is almost the most defensive place on the entire flagship.

The scene in front of me is just a collection of images from many cameras.

The flagship was at the top of the fleet. Li Xin looked in the direction of Qi Yun's finger, and what he was pointing at was a battleship.

Li Xin's hand holding the cup trembled violently. He asked with difficulty, "You mean, a battleship?"

Qi Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's the price of a battleship."

"How is it? It's good tea!"

Li Xin nodded hurriedly. This was more than just good tea, it was simply too good.

Qi Yun said, "The cost of building a battleship is definitely not cheap, if we take the planet called Guansuo 4 under our feet as an example."

"This planet has a population of approximately three billion. Its administrative structure is unclear. It has everything, but excels at nothing. It can produce alloys for shipbuilding, and it can also produce food, though it's a bit scarce."

“It can produce minerals, and it can also produce scientific research talents.”

"If the planet Guansuo 4 wanted to build a battleship like this, given the planet's current production capacity of advanced alloys, do you know how many years it would take?"

Li Xin is like an ignorant child now, he can only shake his head.

Qi Yun smiled and said, "Take a guess, a bold guess."

Li Xin thought about it and went to Guansuo Si. Li Xin had not been to many places, but he had a rough idea of ​​the production capacity of this planet.

But he didn't know how much material, equipment, and manpower a battleship would require.

He made a rough estimate and said tentatively, "One year?"

For Li Xin, one year is already a lot, because this is the production capacity of an entire planet.

Qi Yun laughed, shook his head, and said, "You are still not bold enough. I have already reminded you."

"Guansuo IV isn't a planet with distinct divisions, which means it's not particularly good at producing certain materials."

"If we use the materials produced on the Guansuo IV, it would take at least four to five years to build a battleship like this."

Li Xin exclaimed, "So long!?"

Qi Yun smiled and said, "Long? This is already a good sign that Guansuo 4 has developed quite well. For a planet that is not very suitable for human habitation, it has developed a population of nearly three billion. The resources it produces are indeed not a small amount."

"Our fleet is supported by several planets like this. Do you think it's easy to build a fleet?"

Li Xin's face was filled with surprise. He said with emotion, "This is the first time I've heard of this."

"I lost my composure."

Li Xin looked at the teapot in Qi Yun's hand again.

Qi Yun said, "I don't have much of this kind of Tianqing Congyun tea. I only have three taels on hand. This time, to treat you, I took ten grams."

Li Xin said sincerely, "Sir, I am truly honored!"

There's no way I can't feel honored. Three taels of tea leaves is only 150 grams, and I've only brewed one-fifteenth of it in one go.

If converted into battleships, Qi Yun directly spent one-fifth of a battleship to entertain Li Xin.

I can’t afford this even if I sell Li Xin.

Qi Yun smiled and said, "Tea is bought for drinking, and you are a good young man, worthy of me spending this kind of tea."

As he spoke, Qi Yun filled Li Xin's cup with tea.

Li Xin thanked him repeatedly, and at the same time, he didn't care about the scalding tea on his mouth, and drank it directly into his stomach.

At this time, Li Xin didn't care about face. This was too expensive. Although he didn't know what Qi Yun was trying to do, he would be a bastard if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

What's more, it has so many benefits and is so cheap, it would be a waste not to drink it.

However, after drinking this cup of tea, the effect was not as strong as before. It only helped Li Xin dispel about 5% of the pollution.

Li Xin looked surprised, and Qi Yun smiled and said, "You've also discovered that the effect of this kind of tea is strongest in the first cup, and the effect will gradually weaken after that."

"But it also has unique benefits. After taking it for the first time, it will add a layer of protection to your soul. You will understand these benefits in the future."

"If you drink it later, it will only temporarily improve your soul state."

Upon hearing this, Li Xin sighed, "Even so, this is still an incredible treasure."

Qi Yun smiled and said, "Of course."

Qi Yun pointed at the warships docked around on the screen and said, "Do you see these warships? What do you think?"

From this angle, Li Xin could see all the warships of the commander's guard of the Seventh Wave Battle Group.

Huge battleships, fighter carriers, mecha carriers, cruisers, slightly smaller destroyers, and even smaller torpedo boats and frigates.

He said with emotion: "Powerful, incomparably powerful!"

Qi Yun nodded in satisfaction and said, "These are just my guards. If we add the main force of the fleet, our force will be even stronger.

"But in terms of the interstellar society controlled by humans, and even the entire universe."

"A fleet like this is only a small force."

"Compared to the entire universe, this fleet is nothing. The Chaos God, the Alien Empire, the Fallen Empire, and so on, they can easily destroy this fleet."

"It could even destroy all of human civilization, even though human civilization has already colonized countless star systems and many of the colonies."

When Li Xin heard Qi Yun's sigh, he felt a little heavy in his heart.

He already felt that this fleet was extremely powerful, but in Qi Yun's words, this fleet seemed like an ant.

Qi Yun suddenly stopped talking and continued, "What do you think we humans should do if we want to live a better life and have a place among the strongest in the universe?"

Li Xin was suddenly surprised by this question and hesitated for a moment. He pondered and said, "Sir, this is my first time in the universe. How can humans dominate the universe's powerful world? This concept is too big."

"But, although I don't understand how humans dominate the universe, the principles on the planet and in the universe are the same."

"The principle of wanting humanity to become strong is the same as wanting a country on a planet to become strong."

"It's nothing more than controlling more resources, owning more land or planets, building stronger forces, and possessing a larger fleet."

"If you can't obtain land and planets naturally, then you must obtain them with blood and fire!"
