Chapter 171

Besides.

The company will also protect them.

So there is absolutely no need to invest in the fleet.

Better to spend money to make oneself happy.

"My lord, just how wealthy is the Fleming family?" Pella pushed her glasses up and silently calculated.

She estimated how many years it would take for Jarilo to transform a planet into this state.

Not long after.

Her conclusion was that if it were Jarilo before Lin Qi arrived.

It would probably never be able to pull it off.

Because at that time, Jarilo's output probably wouldn't even match the interest generated by a fraction of theirs.

And even for the transformed Jarilo, it would take at least several years.

Of course.

This counts only the Jarilo planet, not the entire star system.

If the output of the entire star system could only transform one planet in several years, Lin Qi wouldn't need to build any fleet at all; he simply couldn't afford the cost.

But this is enough to show the Fleming family's wealth.

According to what Pella knows, this planet is just one of their many assets.

And it is not open to the public.

That is to say, transforming this planet was never intended to break even.

"I don't know."

Lin Qi shook his head and continued, "I only know they invited me and offered this much."

Lin Qi held up one finger.

"O-one quadrillion?" Pella ventured a number.

"You underestimate their financial power, and you also underestimate my influence. I'll give you a chance to guess again," Lin Qi smiled.

"It wouldn't be one hundred quadrillion, would it?" Pella guessed again.

"Multiply that by ten, and that's the correct answer," Lin Qi replied, his tone calm.

"That's so exaggerated?"

Pella's eyes widened, utterly shocked.

Multiply by ten again...

That would be ten quadrillion?

How many planets' annual output? Whether even one quadrillion is possible is already a question.

Even for Penacony, the annual output falls far short of this figure.

As for dividends, it would only be less.

For a moment.

Pella couldn't help but start thinking: if this money were spent on Jarilo, how much could be done?

Then she reached a conclusion.

It wasn't how much could be done on Jarilo, but how many Jarilo star systems could be built!

"That's outrageous," Pella sighed.

"Right? Otherwise, why do you think I came?" Lin Qi smiled.

Money isn't everything, but indeed, most problems can be solved with money.

Even...

Attracting a genius.

At this moment.

Regarding this sum, Lin Qi had already decided how to spend it.

Hmm...

Build three more stellar megastructures.

But this time.

Not in the stellar minefields, but near the Jarilo star system.

And for the first megastructure, Lin Qi already had a plan.

An upgraded Sentinel Array.

That is, the Celestial Navigation Tower!

It may not be able to "light up the entire map," but at least it will allow Lin Qi to see farther.

Add a Matter Reconstructor.

No other effect; it is simply for mining.

It can convert matter.

In this way, whether building a fleet, legions, or iron cavalry, the rare minerals needed will no longer need to be imported.

They can refine them themselves.

In a sense, you can throw stones in, and it spits out gold.

And at an astronomical scale of production.

True transmutation of stone into gold; whatever is lacking, produce it yourself.

However, it must be constructed on a black hole.

As for the last megastructure, it is a defensive facility.

It is the Planetary Fluctuation Cannon.

Although it has many restrictions, such as being unable to move once set up and unable to attack outside the star system.

But its defensive capability is quite good.

It is perfectly suitable for the already formed Jarilo star system.

After all, although Jarilo currently has a fleet and ground fire, its high-end defensive forces are actually still somewhat tight.

Once Lin Qi leaves, Jarilo's combat power will drop by a huge margin.

So.

The Planetary Fluctuation Cannon is very necessary.

At the very least, it can make up for high-end combat power within the planet.

Lin Qi was just thinking.

Xueyi suddenly spoke.

"Doctor, the people of the Fleming family have arrived."

"Quite fast. Then let us go down as well."

What followed.

Was the courtesy and small talk between the head of the Fleming family and Lin Qi.

After a friendly exchange and a banquet.

The trillion-trillion genius investment plan was thus concluded.

The Fleming family did not play any tricks, nor did they raise conditions; they promised to transfer the funds in installments to Jarilo's account within one year.

To fund the construction of Jarilo.

Regarding this.

Lin Qi naturally would not object.

Nonsense.

If someone is rushing to give money, he would be a fool to disagree.

However, regarding why they are so persistent, Lin Qi can understand it very well.

Because of the Weirenyi Sect.

Anyone who has experienced it will admit it is a great invention that changes the era.

If they are investors, they will even more bitterly regret how they failed to participate in a share.

This is a huge project capable of creating another great family.

The Fleming family is one of the members of the regret group.
