Chapter 656: Chapter 374, Alliance Shipyard_4
This was yet another replenishment of the starship’s combat weapons, and the Land Forces could benefit as well.
Beyond that, there wasn’t much to say about the rest of the advanced-grade and basic-grade technologies.
Same as before, if they weren’t already possessed, they were unimportant, and the better ones were just some upgrades to existing technologies.
…
After drawing thirty 100,000-yuan-grade technologies in a row, Gu Hang still had 450,000 grace points left.
After some thought, he restrained himself from the idea of continuing the lottery.
…
Although gambling was addictive, Gu Hang needed to be more realistic.
The hundreds of thousands of grace points he had were precious wealth left over from the last war. Seeing that such large-scale battles would no longer take place, relying on the monthly grace points and the rewards from security wars would only accumulate a few tens of thousands, maybe a hundred thousand a year.
This meant that the few hundred thousand grace points Gu Hang had were irreproducible. Spending them freely now would result in an ugly cry when he needed grace points later.
For matters on Korolya, whether it’s needing a large army, a large number of administrative staff, or something unforeseen happening, all required Gu Hang to have a certain reserve of grace points.
Without grace points, Gu Hang felt especially insecure.
Another reason was that drawing more technologies would not make much difference.
From this lot of dozens of technologies, whether those Gu Hang found important or less important, the Alliance needed time to digest them.
Drawing too many would lead to indigestion.
In reality, things were already quite difficult as they were.
Gu Hang had ambitions for a full-chain shipyard, but in practice, even with complete technologies, it would still take time to finish the many constructions, and train qualified workers and technical experts.
However, when Gu Hang was inspecting the building interface, he noticed there were new things.
The Comprehensive Academy, Technical Academy, Loyal Heir Academy, civilian/military factories—these four categories of buildings now had higher-grade versions.
The changes to Loyal Heir Academy and factories were not particularly significant; using the advanced versions just improved educational levels and quality, and the additional value in production efficiency of the factories simply meant an increase in numerical value.
For the Comprehensive Academy and Technical Academy, beyond the numerical improvements, the biggest change was the addition of two training options.
Under the Comprehensive Academy, a new training option named [Qualified Professionals] appeared, roughly designed to quickly bring students up to the standard of qualified graduates based on their majors.
This level was still a grade below talents and far from the threshold for hero activation, but it was nonetheless a method to rapidly produce professional talents in large quantities.
Inside the Alliance’s Comprehensive Academy, there were administrative, management, economics, commerce, literature…and many other types of majors.
The corresponding talent shortfall had always been substantial.
Under the Technical Academy, a new training program named [Junior Commissioner] was introduced.
This was the lowest-grade title in the Sect of Mechanics, but actually, out of the students graduating normally from the three-year program at the Technical Academy, only about 20% could reach this level and pass the Junior Commissioner exam organized by the Alliance.
Now that direct training was possible, it was equivalent to mass-producing outstanding graduates, which was a good thing.
The price for these two training options was 10 grace points per person, the same as for a political officer.
It might seem cheap, but in reality, for the Alliance’s incredibly large talent gap, the few hundred thousand grace points Gu Hang had were like a drop in the bucket.
However, just like when he trained forty thousand loyal officials in a single breath during the construction of Mingyan City, it wasn’t enough for a full-scale approach, but by targeting certain areas and providing special reinforcement, it could greatly accelerate development.
It seems it was time to return to Rage Owl Star.
