Chapter 427, 500,000 Factory Exchange
The Battle of Steel Wing Star may be the largest-scale battle ever launched and fought by Gu Hang.
The battle on the ground alone might be even more massive than Koroja's Plague War - except that there was no fight with a big demon in the subspace.
However, the Steel Wing Star Battle also includes a part where giant starships are lined up to bombard each other.
In total, Gu Hang received 930,000 points of gifts.
The number of grace points calculated was less than that of the Koroja Plague War that year. The grace points calculated in the latter reached millions, and this time it was still a little short.
The reason for this, Gu Hang estimated, was that the great demon Gewaga, whom he had gotten rid of, provided a considerable amount of grace points.
In the Battle of Steel Wing Star, the main place where a large amount of grace points can be earned is the naval battle. The ships of the Pegasus Fleet, which serve as the main force, are not considered his core forces. In the system's calculations, their battle results are not included in the income of grace points.
If it weren't for the enemy's multiple main battleships, Gu Hang used his psychic power to tear open their shields and thus shot them down. Otherwise, the number of blessings calculated would have been even less.
However, despite this, the number of grace points that Gu Hang now has on hand has once again exceeded one million.
In addition to the 930,000 settled in this wave, he also received monthly income for the last two months, which was nearly 70,000; plus the little that was left over from before, plus some of the victories the Alliance Army had won in various worlds in the Eagle Horse sector on the way to Steel Wing Star, the total was tens of thousands.
Gu Hang still didn't plan to keep these one million grace points.
Spend it quickly, and then hope that these gift points can further speed up the alliance's construction work and prepare for the next stage of the war.
With a stroke of his pen, he invested all of his 500,000 grace points into one thing: exchanging various [Factories] in the [Building] panel.
The [Factory] series of buildings are quite practical exchange options. They don't have any fancy effects, nor do they give anything new. They simply improve the production efficiency of existing real factories.
Gu Hang did some research and found that some comrades in the factories that have completed the exchange will have some sudden and miraculous ideas for improving the existing production lines, from the moving lines, from the factory design, from the specific improvements of some production lines, and play some practical effects. All of these will bring about the improvement of production efficiency reflected in the exchange options.
Regardless of how the improvement in production efficiency is achieved, if enough of these options are redeemed, it will greatly improve the overall production capacity of the alliance.
Moreover, in the [Building] interface, there are no longer only the initial level one factories, but it has been opened to level three.
The exchange option for the first-level factory is 100 points of grace per factory, the second level reaches 1,000 points, and the third level is 10,000 points.
Gu Hang decisively upgraded every dock in the alliance's two major shipyards to at least level two; several important docks, such as the two cruiser docks on Feiyi Star, were all upgraded to level three.
As for the two important ammunition production center factories on the Angry Owl Star and Korojia, Gu Hang gritted his teeth and started the third-level production.
Gu Hang exchanged for a total of 10 third-level factories, 100 second-level factories, and 3,000 first-level factories, which were used in various production lines.
Spending these 500,000 grace points directly increased the alliance's total industrial output value from 112.3 billion tax coins to 124 billion.
This is a total output value increase of more than 10%. According to the plan, this is a development-oriented development goal that the alliance is expected to achieve in one year.
However, with Gu Hang's gift point cheating method, the growth that would have taken a whole year was all achieved in just one second.
Moreover, the areas of growth are all in the areas that Gu Hang wants: mainly military production, supplemented by various other military supplies, such as field rations.
In the military industry, the focus is on the construction of starships, which are most needed by the alliance, and this is where the production growth is the largest. Other things, such as the production of some hot melt bombs, plasma weapons, heavy artillery shells, and missiles, are also top priorities. Don't underestimate these things, especially artillery shells, which are the most consumed in war.
When the intensity of a war rises to a certain level and the war situation is dominated by a stalemate, there will often be artillery but a lack of sufficient ammunition to fire.
Firing thousands of guns at once sounds fierce and exciting, but with the current artillery technology of the Alliance, it is easy to fire ten guns a minute - it is not that the firing rate cannot be increased, but if that is the case, the life of the gun barrel will not be able to withstand it. According to the firing rate of ten guns a minute, the life of the gun barrel can be extended to the greatest extent.
Don’t even mention how rare 10,000 artillery pieces are. An Alliance army actually has them, or even far more than that number.
At this speed, an army group of the Alliance can fire a million heavy artillery shells in an hour - small-caliber things like mortars and mountain cannons are not qualified to speak at the table, they are all large-caliber heavy artillery, at least 155 caliber howitzers, and even the Alliance Army is equipped with a small number of 305 caliber, more powerful self-propelled heavy artillery.
Without sufficient production capacity, how can we withstand this level of consumption by the Alliance Army?
The greater the production capacity, the greater the firepower.
Not to mention, not only the army needs various types of artillery shells, but the navy does too.
Another part of the production capacity is placed on the production of products such as Lion Tanks, Mechas, and Titans.
These ace war machines of the army are the core equipment for fighting against the killing cans, death cans, and Squiggle war beasts of the green-skinned orcs on the front battlefield. The more the better.
The alliance, which is working at full capacity to produce, will transport large quantities of war supplies to the front battlefield via huge transport fleets.
At present, the intensity of the war that the alliance is currently experiencing is actually unable to use up so many ammunition reserves and equipment consumption.
But it doesn’t matter. These things can be stored on the planets at various key transportation hubs in Steel Wing Star, Cuiquan I, Eagle Horse Star Region and Misty Horse Star Region.
This is in preparation for the large-scale war with the greenskins that is likely to break out next.
The more preparations you make now, the more relaxed you will be when the war begins.
The significance of Gu Hang spending these 500,000 grace points is not just limited to war.
The increased productivity will never disappear unless something unexpected happens, and will continue to play a role in the future.
