Chapter 1938 -s 1884–1885: How Can the New Come If the Old Doesn’t Go?
"In fact, we have already built a prototype of the seventh-generation warship. After continuous testing, we found that this prototype seventh-generation warship completely crushes the sixth-generation warship, at least purely relying on a single sixth-generation warship cannot withstand it," Yu Zhenzi stated the information they had in hand, and said in a deep voice, "This also means that when the prototype seventh-generation warship appears, the sixth-generation warship is about to withdraw from the core of our main battleships, at least for us."
"But building the sixth-generation warship cost a huge price, such an investment is not something we can discard at will, the sunk cost is too high. Especially in the case where the cost of building a prototype seventh-generation warship is even larger," Pang Hong added in explanation on the side.
The powerful capabilities deduced for the prototype seventh-generation warship far exceeded their predictions, but similarly, the required resources are several times more than that of the sixth-generation ships.
Having a more powerful warship, naturally, one cannot say to continue retaining the weaker warships, especially when there is a significant combat power gap between the two.
But sometimes it is not just because of power that one makes a choice, especially standing from the position of the wielder of the Shenxiao Sect.
The initial construction of these sixth-generation warships consumed a huge amount of resources, even a great sect like the Shenxiao Sect cannot just easily discard them, but the prototype seventh-generation warship cannot be left unbuilt either, this is actually a very difficult situation for Pang Hong and the others.
At this time, the Buddhism Heavenly Court Alliance’s attack on the Heterodox Alliance and the Heterodox Alliance’s request to purchase sixth-generation warships appeared, they were naturally happy and willing to make a deal to sell these.
Originally thinking of selling the sixth-generation warships but afraid such moves would be spied on for information about the prototype seventh-generation warships, now let alone the Heterodox Alliance being willing to pay a premium price, even if there was confrontation, they wouldn’t mind, even if the Heterodox Alliance didn’t have enough resources, they could accept temporary credit, anyway, the Shenxiao Sect is not afraid of not getting paid.
As for saying the Heterodox Alliance is at a loss, or the Shenxiao Sect scams them, although these sixth-generation warships are considered outdated by the Shenxiao Sect’s standards, for the Heterodox Alliance they are a timely boost to their battle capabilities, as they don’t even have the sixth generation warship technology.
This way, they can gain immediate battle power to maintain an advantage, and the Shenxiao Sect can continue to exchange resources to build more powerful prototype seventh-generation warships, it can be said to be a win-win situation.
As for the dissatisfaction of Buddhism and the Heavenly Court, this is simply not placed in the eyes of the Shenxiao Sect, after all, Xuantian Sect worries about them, the Shenxiao Sect does not worry at all.
Not to mention Buddhism, the grievances between the side of the Jade Emperor and the Shenxiao Sect are not small, simply not caring about what they think.
For the many strong people of the Shenxiao Sect, what they need to consider now is not other people’s reactions, but how quickly they can replace and upgrade to the prototype seventh-generation warships.
