The biggest problem in the universe is the pirate problem. However, the problems caused by pirate groups have also caused many mercenary groups to receive a lot of escort commissions.
When the Tianyi Mercenary Group was first established, no merchants came to them. Instead, they came to ask for commissions. At that time, only some small merchants commissioned them to deliver goods, and the profits earned at that time were very thin.
Later, after completing many escort missions for more than a year, our reputation gradually grew, and many large businesses took the initiative to come to us and request to escort their goods.
More than a year ago, Long Fei developed the Jim MS as the standard equipment for the Tianyi Mercenary Group, which improved the combat capability of the mercenary group.
Over the past year, the mission has never failed, and even pirate groups that came to rob have been wiped out.
This resulted in more and more merchants becoming aware of the strength of the Tianyi Mercenary Group, filling up the Tianyi Mercenary Group's commission information task box.
The Tianyi Mercenary Group now only has three frigates, which makes them overwhelmed with the commissioned missions. This is why Li Jiaming decided to ask his boss to expand the scale.
Long Fei looked at Sakqi.
Sakqi handed the tablet to Long Fei.
Long Fei looked at the report information on the tablet.
"President Sakchi, Mijiaang and other countries have asked us to sell Jim MS to them. Each company's offer is different. Although Mijiaang asked us to sell it to them at a price close to the cost, the conditions they offered are very generous."
"Yes, boss. In addition to halving the taxes they collected from us for 20 years, they also gave us three abandoned meteorite factories near our factory for free and permanently, and gave us 50 tons of black energy stones directly, as well as some of the materials needed for construction. Their only condition was that they asked us to sell them eight Jim MSs every month, and the deadline was two years."
"In total, we sold them 192 Jimms."
"Yes, boss."
“Our factory can produce as many Jims as we want in a month.”
"If the factory runs 24 hours a day on the currently unused production lines, it can indeed produce eight Jims. If the production lines for tanks and fighter planes are also emptied and fully produced, 18 Jims can be produced in a month."
"So how long will it take to complete the current orders for tanks and fighter planes?"
"If we don't accept orders now, it will take us at least a month to complete the orders we have on hand."
"We accept the conditions of the Micahon Nation. From now on, we will not accept any more orders for tanks and fighter planes. The freed-up production lines can be used to accept orders from other countries to produce Jim MS."
"Okay, boss, I'll go take care of the work now."
"Well, go ahead."
After Sakqi saluted Long Fei, he left the office.
"Boss, I want to expand the size of the mercenary group, is that okay?"
"Yes, we can. How many warships can our factory accommodate at present? Even if we take frigates as an example, how many more can we accommodate?"
Li Jiaming thought for a moment and replied, "We can put two more ships on the ground at the moment."
"The workshop assigned to you by the factory, you will first manufacture two frigates and produce Jim MS, and recruit people to join our mercenary group. Then, when I get the three abandoned meteorite factories, I will give one to you and transform it into a mercenary group base. This way, it will be easier for you to expand your scale."
"Understood, Boss."
After Li Jiaming left the office, Long Fei began to deal with the current work. Although he successfully developed the RX78 Gundam, its derivatives, subsequent machines and other Gundams still had to be handled by Long Fei.
Strictly speaking, if the number of people in Long Fei's factory is not included, the number of people in Tianyi Arms Manufacturing Company, from the president to the people who do odd jobs and cooks, does not exceed 40 people in total.
The reason why there are not so many people in the factory is mainly because Long Fei uses the MD system, which is an intelligent automation system to operate the factory. No matter whether it is manufacturing MS, fighter jets, warships or individual weapons for mercenaries, he can start work directly as long as the instructions are set.
This saves a lot of manpower, and the factory employees responsible for manufacturing only need to handle some detailed work.
Among the conditions offered by the Migaon Kingdom, Long Fei was not very excited about the abandoned factory and the halving of taxes. It was the 50 tons of black-based energy stones that moved him.
The electricity needed for the factory he owns now was originally operated by solar panels and some fuel generators. The operation of the factory at that time was very inconvenient, and the MD system was used to operate the factory, which was very power-consuming.
The reason why Long Fei's factory was in such a situation at that time was mainly because he did not have much money, and the black-based energy stone was very expensive.
Now he uses black-based energy stones to operate his factory, mainly because his company now has sufficient funds and can purchase black-based energy stones.
One ton of black-based energy stones can allow his current factory to operate at full capacity all year round. The price of one ton of black-based energy stones reaches 100 million yuan.
Moreover, the black energy stone is only suitable for household electricity and factory electricity, and is not suitable for military use.
Therefore, generally speaking, factories of ordinary enterprises will not use black energy stones unless the factories are operating for a long time or almost non-stop.
At lunch time, Long Fei went to the cafeteria to eat.
Li Xiucheng sat in front of him.
"Long Fei, will you be the one to pilot the original Gundam MS that you developed? Or will you give it to the members of our mercenary group?" Li Xiucheng looked very much expectant of Long Fei's answer. He most hoped that Long Fei would give the MS to him.
Li Xiucheng believed that he was the best in the mercenary group in terms of MS driving skills. Although he did not reach the level of an ace driver, he at least had the strength of an elite driver.
"I don't plan to hand over that Gundam to anyone else. I am currently piloting that Gundam."
"Okay." Li Xiucheng could not hide his disappointment, but he felt relieved after thinking about it. His talented old friend's MS driving skills were better than his. It could be said that among the members of the entire mercenary group, no one's MS driving skills were better than his.
It is only natural that the best MS should be given to the best MS drivers.
In the next few days, in addition to handling work, Long Fei also arranged some things.
After completing the mission, the third frigate returned to the factory for repairs, while the first frigate had already received the commission and was ready to depart.
At this time, Long Fei arranged for himself and the Original Gundam to board the first frigate, and Li Xiucheng was also a member who set out to take on the mission.
The reason why Long Fei took such action was not only because he wanted to test the Gundam's combat capability, but also because he wanted to get some fresh air. He had been staying in the factory and hadn't been out for several months, so he wanted to go out and relax.
Li Xiucheng and two other colleagues are making final adjustments to their own Jim MS in the hangar.
Long Fei rested in the room specially arranged for him.
There are actually less than 30 people on the entire frigate. In addition to the frigate's MD system automatic driving, there are only two members in the control room besides the captain who are responsible for reporting and checking the radar. Whether the frigate is sending bubbles or providing barrage cover, the captain directly issues orders to the MD system.
There are also some automated machines inside the frigate that can carry out maintenance on the frigate. There are also some automated engineering vehicles working in logistics. Most of the maintenance personnel's work is to give instructions to these machines, and there are also some details that the maintenance personnel are responsible for adjusting and checking.
The frigate is a brand new frigate designed by Long Fei after selecting many models of frigates in many Mobile Suit series and making a series of modifications.
The frigate designed and developed by Long Fei is named [Flanker], and its performance currently exceeds that of frigates of other countries.
A flanking frigate can only carry 4 MSs.
