Chapter 601: Money, there are still some problems

While the supervisor reported with William, the elevator has descended into the shipyard with extremely open space.

William also saw the flagship of the "Star Destroyer" class in the shipyard through the three giant glass windows installed on the elevator.

Just look at this super warship, which happened to be accommodated in this ‘super’ shipyard.

Looking down from the position of the elevator, and William used his extraordinary vision to make a simple measurement, it was learned that the length from the tip of the ship's nose to the stern was about 20 kilometers, and the width of the ship's horizontal width was about nine to ten kilometers.

But the highest height of the hull is only about five kilometers.

Moreover, the entire battleship presents a flat cone to everyone in the elevator.

For William, the appearance and image of this "Star Destroyer" super flagship is very similar to the "Star Destroyer" in "Star Wars".

Although it is not as wide as the 60-kilometer width of the "Supreme", the Star Destroyer flagship in front of William is several times larger than most star destroyers in Star Wars.

If this Star Destroyer-class battleship successfully lifts off in two months as planned, then the Infinite Class will instantly surrender its throne as the ‘first battleship’.

But at this time, the Star Destroyer-class battleship has not yet been completed, and William can still see the ‘dense, dense,’ ant-like engineering team workers at work.

And for the outer hull armor of the Star Destroyer class, there are still many modules that have not been installed, let alone the paint that can improve the ‘appearance’.

"Boss!" At this time, the supervisor looked out the glass window, looked at the giant ship in front of him, and sighed with some self-reliance:

"The company more than ten years ago only had Paris-class and Phoenix-class battleships. Now...

The current company is actually capable of building such a super warship, which is really...exciting. "

"..."

William smiled, did not respond to the supervisor’s excessive pride, and even complained inwardly:

‘Good fellow, do you think the Paris class and the Phoenix class are too small now?

If you know my original world, you can’t even get the Pelican, let alone Paris class. ’

"Boss..." Carl, who had been standing behind William at this time, saw this unfinished super battleship, and asked in a low voice:

"Will this Star Destroyer be the flagship of our Zero Fleet?"

"Hmm." William nodded lightly without denying.

"Boss! You said that if all Umbrella's fleet were replaced by this flagship, wouldn't it be rampant throughout the universe?"

Mellen was also a little excited.

"Hey..." William turned his head and glanced at Myron, raised his left hand to cover his forehead, and said helplessly:

"Myron, wait someday I will ask Rebecca to help you look at your brain, it seems a little awkward recently..."

"Huh?" Mellen was taken aback, and confused: "Did I say something wrong?"

"Hehe." Just looking at John who was standing next to Mellen, he chuckled a rare moment, then raised his hand and patted Mellen's left shoulder, explaining:

"Brother, why does the company have only six Infinity-class warships until now?"

"Why?" Mellen was still a little puzzled.

"Hey..." John also showed a helpless look similar to William, shook his head and said:

"It is because the period of building an Infinite-class warship is too long, and the construction, maintenance and repair funds are more than ten times more than that of the Phoenix-class.

The company’s merchant ships, supply ships, and various non-combat types of ships, as well as army expenses and colony maintenance, and even the research and development of high-tech weapons and equipment...

These things all need money, brother, they are not built with technology. "

"hum...that's how it is..." Mellen enlightened.

Listening to the conversation between the brothers behind him, William also shook his head slightly with a smile.

Indeed, he also hopes that the Star Destroyer-class super warships can replace Umbrella’s six fleet flagships, and even wants the UNSC to be equipped with Star Destroyer.

But the problem is that it will take at least three years to build a Star Destroyer-class ship with the efforts of more than 100,000 engineering teams.

After all, a space battleship needs to be treated with extreme care in terms of precision, sealing, and strength, so it cannot be as fast as building a colony or building.

Of course, the most important thing is the construction cost and maintenance funds.

To build a Star Destroyer, it will consume about 6% of the company’s net profit every year. According to Halsey’s calculations, the maintenance cost will also cost tens of billions a year.

It can be said that the maintenance cost of the Star Destroyer alone can build ten to fifteen Phoenix-class aircraft carriers.

No matter how rich Umbrella is, there are two million employees to feed.

Yes, in the statistics for January 2025, Umbrella’s entire staff officially exceeds two million, far exceeding the original ‘Big Mac’ Wal-Mart.

Those employees who have only signed a six-month or one-year engineering team contract and have not signed a non-disclosure agreement, such as hotel waiters or lobby managers, are not included in the scope of Umbrella’s formal employees.

If these non-staff employees are included, it is not two million.

And Umbrella's research and development speed, as well as the speed of infrastructure construction is extremely fast, because William has always implemented high benefits and high wages.

If there is no artificial intelligence like Serena to help him deal with the trivial matters in the company, then his brain may have been "exploded".

"Ding~——."

At this moment, the elevator also came to the center of the shipyard, which is also the area of ​​the shipyard’s headquarters.

The supervisor, who had already recovered from his extreme pride, stepped out of the elevator first, and put his hand to the corridor leading to the control room and whispered:

"Boss, please follow me."

"Yeah." William also nodded lightly, leading Serena and John to inspect the shipyard.

In fact, William’s main purpose here is to see this Star Destroyer, which is two months away from completion. After all, since the establishment of this project, he has not witnessed this Umbrella. The super flagship.

Next.

Under the leadership of the supervisor, William successively inspected the command room of the shipyard, then the living quarters, canteens and other areas.

Finally, William used the radio to give all the workers, engineers, and guards in the shipyard a brief spiritual chicken soup.

And William also promised to give bonuses to these employees who have worked silently for three years to thank them for their hard work in the past three years.

finally.

William returned to the waiting Infinity in low-Earth orbit at 21:10 at Halfa time, and asked Carmen to start a warp voyage back to the solar system.

Since some physical ‘contact’ with Serena that day, William dared not go home late for a moment. He must return to Hafa’s villa before ten o’clock.

Although Halsey doesn’t care on the surface, who knows if she will get sulky, the pregnant woman’s temper is not sure, and William is afraid that it will affect the fetus in her abdomen.
