Chapter 490: Growing Ships

After collecting the spoils, Li Xin and his team returned to the Tianjin Four Star System for rest.

Li Xin also returned to the planet and reunited with Duan Qingyan, Zhong Jinyao and others.

After entering the colonial era, they only spent more time together in the beginning. The rest of the time, Li Xin was either busy in the star base or fighting the Walkers, and this time he even went to deal with the void worms.

Late at night, Li Xin hugged Duan Qingyan. She put her face on Li Xin's chest and said softly, "You are so busy every day, as if something is chasing you. Isn't this too tiring?"

Li Xin thought about it and realized that he had been on this planet for several years and had indeed not had any free time.

He was constantly planning the work for various projects on the planet and leading people to fight, so he didn't have a single day to rest.

But then he thought again, he is his own boss now, isn't it normal for him to be busy for his career?

Li Xin laughed and said, "Something is really chasing me."

Duan Qingyan raised her head and asked lazily, "Who dares to chase you?"

Li Xin thought of the four powerful evil gods in the subspace, and the four powerful subspace creatures that were captured by them and forced to hide.

As long as Li Xin does not grasp the soul essence of these four subspace creatures, he will be caught up by the four evil gods.

Once caught up, the evil god would not play house with Li Xin. He would eat Li Xin's soul alive.

However, Li Xin didn't dare to tell Duan Qingyan these things. Telling them would only add to her troubles and would be of no use.

But there are still some things he can say. He said: "We came to this galaxy to colonize. From afar, there is a powerful Yelong Empire that is eyeing this star field covetously."

"From a closer look, there may be many civilizations hidden around here. We can see it from the Walker Guardian here."

"There are quite a few alien races in this star field, including another planet we haven't colonized yet. There may be problems there, as there are already native inhabitants there."

"This area is already so unsafe, yet the information provided by the Seventh Wave doesn't mention this at all."

"Obviously, they all vanished within these two hundred years. The possibility of self-destruction is very small."

"If it weren't for their fighting with each other, which caused the death of all the races on these planets, then there is only one possibility."

"They were all destroyed by the Yelong Empire and the vassal civilizations it supported."

Li Xin placed his hands behind his head, sighed softly, and said, "Originally, these civilizations were destroyed, and if we are in this position now, what will be our fate? These are all unknowns."

"That's why I'm so anxious. We need to improve our strength as quickly as possible."

"Time may not be on my side now!"

Hearing Li Xin say this, Duan Qingyan once again felt the pressure from Li Xin. She hugged Li Xin tightly and said, "No matter what, I will always be by your side!"

"good!"

Time goes by day by day.

More than a year has passed, and now it is August of the year 6135. During this period, the two galaxies under Li Xin's command have been developing continuously.

More and more clones walked out of the incubator and took up various positions.

The various divisions on the planet are constantly expanding, and the output of alloys and energy is increasing.

In space, star bases and space docks are also slowly expanding.

The space dock of Tianjin Galaxy has been expanded to 24 ship-capacity units.

The space dock in the Walker galaxy has expanded to 60 ship capacity units.

During this period, a frigate will be produced every four months and a destroyer will be produced every six months.

The space dock in the Tianjin Galaxy has always produced frigates. Because the space dock here is still a bit small, it was only this year that it was able to produce destroyers.

The space dock in the Walker galaxy produces destroyers.

The newly upgraded dock capacity cannot guarantee annual output.

So in the past year, a total of sixteen destroyers were produced in the Walker galaxy, and ten frigates were produced by the newly expanded dock.

Forty-five frigates and ten torpedo boats were produced in the Tianjin No. 4 shipyard.

Currently, the number of ships under Li Xin's command is as follows.

China now has 24 destroyers, including three Obedience-class destroyers and twenty-one Conspicuous-class destroyers, all of which are fourth-generation ships.

There are sixty-five frigates, including ten basic-class and fifty-five Fang-class.

There are sixteen torpedo boats, including six of the Boom class and ten of the Thunder class.

The total number of ships reached 105, which was about double the number when we first arrived in this galaxy.

In addition, after years of development, the population of clones on the United and Walker planets has reached about 800 million.

It has been just over four years since the population exceeded 100 million in 6131, and the number of clones has been increasing. It is precisely because of the existence of these clones that Li Xin's human civilization has been able to enter the fast lane of development.

Now the speed of clone production will become faster and faster. Li Xin is already planning to start the third colonization planet. Of course, this is just a plan and it is not time to implement it yet.

The reason why it was not opened before is very simple, because the development of the United and Walker Star is far from reaching the bottleneck.

There are still large areas that have not been utilized. Even if the United Planet were to cram another 10 billion clones into it, it is estimated that development would not reach saturation.

At this time, the clones produced will of course be used to develop the capital planet first, and then develop this planet to the extreme.

Various industrial facilities in the union have been put on track. At this time, we only need to invest in cloned workers to generate reasonable production capacity.

However, if we blindly start colonizing new planets, it will inevitably distract our attention and disperse the number of clones, which are already insufficient.

However, Li Xin predicted that in about two years, the development of the union would enter a stable stage, and the population would exceed one billion by then. It would be most appropriate to start a new colony at this time.

Thanks to the increase in the clone population, the number of psychics among the clones has also increased.

Up to now, the number of mecha units under Li Xin has increased a lot, especially the C-class space mechas, and the number of rangers has exceeded one hundred for the first time.

These mecha troops have already proven their strength in previous battles. Li Xin will not complain about the large number of them now, but only that the number is small.
