Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

After the military department communicated this set of salary payment standards within the troops, it caused a great response. After all, the salary increase was not a small amount, but almost doubled.

As a result, the soldiers' loyalty to the country has been greatly improved, and their passion for training has also increased rapidly. Everyone cherishes the title of soldier more. It is not entirely because the military salary has increased, but because the country pays more attention to them.

"His Majesty."

The Secretary General came to Qin Lin's office and reported, "We received a call from the Xijiang Research Base, saying that the 11th generation missile test launch has begun, and asked if you would like to visit it?"

"Eleventh generation?"

Qin Lin asked in shock, "Wasn't it just a short time since the ninth generation was completed? How come the eleventh generation has already been developed? Isn't this too fast?"

“Your Majesty, the Ninth Generation Reform took place half a year ago,” the Secretary General reminded.

"half year ago!"

Qin Lin shook his head and smiled, "Only half a year ago!"

You know, cross-generation weapons and equipment almost always have overall performance that can surpass the previous generation, and only in this way can they be called the next generation. However, only half a year has passed, and a new generation of weapons and equipment has been developed. The development speed of this weapon and equipment is too fast.

"Also," the Secretary General continued, "the Xijiang Research Base also said that they are preparing to launch the seventh generation of military satellites, a total of eight. Once the launch is successful, the military command system of our Great Qin Empire will usher in a comprehensive upgrade."

"too crazy."

Qin Lin was speechless at this time. After he took over Dongyang Country and built it into a coastal province, he obtained a total of 3000 million technology points.

Now it is still increasing, because the sea province is still under continuous and vigorous construction. It is estimated that after the construction is completed, the technology points obtained may exceed 4000 million. With enough technology points, major research institutes will begin to frantically produce new weapons.

Military satellites, intercontinental missiles, missile destroyers, ninth-generation fighter jets, new aircraft carriers, as well as civilian wireless communications, command systems, individual combat systems, as well as main battle tanks, combat vehicles, etc., have all received new blueprints and are being madly developed.

There is also a civilian research institute. The Dongsheng Group has purchased the right to use this civilian wireless communication, and plans to popularize wireless communications in key cities across the country within three years. Now more than half of the construction has been completed, and urban wireless communications will be implemented within five years.

In addition, radios and black-and-white televisions began to become popular on the market, and color televisions also began to become popular among the upper class.

The same is true overseas. The radios manufactured by the Qin Empire ranked first in the world in terms of export volume, with the amount reaching hundreds of millions of units. Black and white televisions, color televisions, etc. were also unique to the Qin Empire.

This is especially true for medicines. The current Qin Empire is the world's largest exporter of medicines, and ranks first in the world in terms of the types of special-effect medicines. It is known as a medicine manufacturing machine.

Now that the global war has entered a white-hot stage, the Qin Empire's National Medicine Hall has made a fortune. Special-effect drugs are shipped out in tons, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs and so on. The total annual revenue exceeds 10 billion.

"Then go have a look."

Qin Lin sorted out the work in his hands and said, "Prepare a car for me to go to the Western Xinjiang Research Base."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

That afternoon, Qin Lin took a special plane to the Xijiang Scientific Research Base. After years of capital injection, the scale of the Xijiang Scientific Research Base has more than doubled, becoming the first scientific research institute in the true sense of the Qin Empire.

"Mr. Bai, you really think you are getting younger and younger as you age!"

Seeing an old friend whom he hadn't seen for more than a year, Qin Lin took the initiative to greet him and said, "I heard that your Xijiang Research Institute has come up with something big again?"

"Haha."

Bai He smiled and said, "Thanks to your Majesty's strong support, my Xijiang Research Institute has lived up to your majesty's orders and developed the eleventh-generation intercontinental missile, the Red Arrow XI."

"Amazing!"

Qin Lin praised, "The Blue Star Alliance has just developed the Angel C-class missile, and you have already developed the eleventh type, which is far ahead of them. How can they surpass you?"

"Blue Star Alliance!"

Bai He showed a subtle expression and said, "It is just imitating our Red Arrow. It will not be a great thing. Your Majesty, rest assured. I can guarantee that within 20 years, the Blue Star Alliance will not be able to develop an intercontinental missile. I can guarantee this. But after 20 years, it is another matter."

"Twenty years."

Qin Lin laughed and said, "Twenty years from now, I guess my Great Qin Empire won't be interested in playing with this group of people anymore."

Bai He naturally knew what Qin Lin meant. A year ago, after the defeat of the Eastern Kingdom, their Western Xinjiang Research Base established a special department called the Star Gate Research Group. Its main purpose was to develop aircraft for outer space exploration.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Bai He handed Qin Lin a cup of tea and said, "I won't say much about the development of the eleventh-generation missiles. After the test launch is successful, I will compile detailed data."

"Ah."

Qin Lin took a sip of tea and said, "How much research and development funding did your Xijiang Research Institute receive this year?"

"It was about 20 billion in total, of which 8 million was the money we earned from our own research and development of patents, and the Ministry of Finance gave 12 billion, a total of 20 billion."

“Are the funds sufficient?”

"enough."

Bai He also took a sip of tea and said, "If there is no Stargate Research Group, these 20 billion cannot be consumed. Our seventh-generation weapons have just been developed, the ninth-generation weapons have been formed, and most of the eleventh-generation weapons are in the drawing stage. We can't consume too much funds for the time being. The Stargate Research Group is in the stage of laying the foundation, and the consumption is very large."

"That's it."

Qin Lin said to the secretary general behind him, "Tell the Ministry of Finance to allocate 10 billion yuan to the Star Gate Research Group and let them do what they want to do. Let's see what they can come up with."

For the Stargate research team, Qin Lin used the technology tree to exchange for a variety of advanced technologies, such as launch vehicles, artificial satellites, space probes, manned spacecraft, communication network construction, chemical propulsion, electric propulsion, particle detectors, etc., which are relatively preliminary technologies.

Qin Lin has not yet exchanged for higher-level technologies, such as He fusion propulsion, quantum communication technology, space elevators, autonomous space explorers, wormhole crossing, gene editing, laser cannons, etc. With the current technological level of Blue Star, it is impossible to trigger these advanced technologies.

Qin Lin admires advanced science and technology very much, and is very curious about outer space. However, at this stage, the Great Qin Empire is not suitable to spend huge resources to explore these things. Instead, it should focus on improving the comprehensive national strength of the Great Qin Empire. After all, at present on Blue Star, the Great Qin Empire is not yet at the level of a true captain.
