The battle was over the day after it began.
All the pirates were killed, including the most powerful pirate leader.
As for ships, there is absolutely no need to keep ordinary gunboats and modified armed transport boats.
Even if this kind of ship was given to Matt and his men, they wouldn't want it.
Twenty-one frigates and seven destroyers were left behind. One of them was completely destroyed by the mecha because of its fierce resistance.
When Matt's escort fleet arrived, his mood began to improve as he looked at the ships.
After taking Matt to the flagship, Li Xin pointed at the ships and said, "How about this? For the sake of our friendship, I'll sell these ships to your Chamber of Commerce!"
Matt was shocked by Li Xin's shamelessness, but now in Li Xin's flagship, he didn't dare to say anything.
He said, "Thank you, General!"
After Li Xin asked Matt to sit down, he asked, "President Matt, please give me a suitable price for these warships. This price must not cause a rift in our friendship!"
Matt laughed dryly, thought for a moment, and said, "How do you want to settle it?"
"Is it in energy units or alloy units?"
For Li Xin at the moment, he has no shortage of energy units. The energy produced by the planets and star bases is enough for his current development.
What's more, Matt also gave him 3,000 units of energy for this expedition, which is enough for him to use for a long time.
Now Li Xin has no need for external transactions, so of course he doesn't consider choosing energy, so he said:
"Let's calculate it using alloy units!"
Matt was not surprised after hearing this. He could feel Li Xin's desire for the alloy.
So Matt did some calculations and gave his own offer.
"Dear General, for the sake of our friendship, I think we can purchase these frigates for thirty units each and destroyers for one hundred and fifty units each."
"What do you think of this offer?"
How do I describe this quotation? According to Li Xin's current ship construction method, a frigate generally requires more than 100 units of alloy.
A destroyer requires about three hundred alloy units.
The weapon system is a separate matter, and it mainly depends on what kind of weapons are used, whether they are energy weapons or kinetic weapons.
Relatively speaking, energy weapons are more expensive and require more resources.
After hearing this offer, Li Xin shook his head and said, "President Matt, is our friendship so cheap?"
"This offer is inappropriate. Look at these warships. These pirates have maintained them so well!"
When Matt heard what Li Xin said, he actually leaned over to the screen to take a look. These ships had absolutely no maintenance at all.
The external armor was now somewhat bumpy, some of which were marks left by meteorite impacts, while others were obvious marks left by weapon attacks.
Obviously, these traces should be left from previous battles.
Most of these ships are second-generation ships, or at most second-and-a-half-generation ships. They are quite old and are worse than Matt's escort fleet.
Matt shook his head and said, "General, look at the maintenance of these warships. They are simply not maintained at all."
"If the situation outside is already so bad, the equipment inside must be even worse."
"I really gave this offer based on our friendship."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't even want this kind of ship!"
Matt was right in saying that the quality of these ships was indeed a bit lacking.
But Li Xin still shook his head and said, "How about this, let's each take a step back!"
"Sixty units of alloy for each frigate, and two hundred units of alloy for each destroyer."
"We still need to tow these ships back to the port for repairs, which will also cost a lot of resources."
Matt waved his tentacles and said, "No, no, no!"
"General, you don't need to do the repairs. Our fleet has its own maintenance technicians, so we can do the repairs."
"No, this price is not right! No way!"
The two sides started arguing like they were buying vegetables on the street, and finally, after a period of friendly communication, they reached a condition that both sides felt was acceptable.
Each frigate costs fifty units of alloy, and each destroyer costs one hundred and eighty units of alloy.
Li Xin is not responsible for repairs and maintenance, and he doesn't need to care about damaged weapons.
Li Xin asked Matt curiously about this: "Don't we need to repair the weapons?"
"These weapons have been destroyed. How are you going to sell them then?"
Matt smiled complacently and said, "I've seen your weapons. They're definitely not of the same system as those on these ships."
"If you come to repair it, it may not be suitable for these warships."
"We don't plan to repair these weapons. We will sell these ships to the next civilization. Of course, the weapons must be adapted to their operation."
“Otherwise, even if the repairs are completed, they will need to tear it down and rebuild it.”
Hearing this, Li Xin nodded slightly. He felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, but since Matt didn't want humans to do the repairs, he just ignored it.
It's just a little less profit, not a big problem.
In this battle, we harvested more than 2,300 alloy units, which can be used to build more than 20 frigates or 7 destroyers.
Although there are still many preliminarily smelted alloys in the Walker Galaxy, Li Xin will not mind having too many materials.
After solving this problem, Li Xin still had one thing he hadn't checked out, which was the pirates' lair and base.
At the enemy's lair, the enemy leader was captured directly. Li Xin specially arranged several psychics to attack his flagship and capture this guy.
After the interrogation, we will go to the pirates' lair to take a look, but of course we cannot bring Matt with us.
As for the base in this galaxy, it is now like a ripe fruit, and the warships have already arrived at the port of this base.
The defense system of this base had already been completely destroyed by the Rangers, and the pirates who stayed inside to guard the home were also defeated by the genetic warriors in a single attack.
However, unlike the pirates on the ships, Li Xin approved the surrender of these pirates in the base.
After all, pirates also need to maintain and modify ships on a daily basis. There must be some technical alien talents in this base.
Li Xin doesn't need ordinary cannon fodder and coolies, but these technical talents are still useful to Li Xin. If all else fails, he can sell them to Matt.
