260: Chapter 360: Are we still far from unlocking the interstellar warship?

Not long after concluding the arms trading negotiations with Colonel Beka, Li Yi purchased the batch of weapons and equipment procured by Libya from the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

Since the current inventory of weapons and equipment consisted only of Eagle series fighter jets and War Tiger series bombers, which Libya did not procure, Li Yi had to place an order for everything himself.

Li Yi selected 2,000 sets each of Tianlei Type I and Type II Anti-Aircraft Missiles from the Multiverse Arms Trading System, along with 5,000 accompanying missiles for each; he ordered 500 sets of Tianlei Type III Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 2,000 accompanying missiles.

He ordered 500 sets of Tianlei Type IV Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 1,000 accompanying missiles, 300 sets of Tianlei Type V Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 600 accompanying missiles, and 100 sets of Tianlei Type VI Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 200 accompanying missiles.

He ordered 30 sets of Tianlei Type VII Anti-Aircraft Missiles with 80 accompanying missiles; 10 sets each of Tianlei Type VIII and Type IX Anti-Aircraft Missiles, with 20 accompanying missiles for each. He also ordered 1 set of the Tianlei Missile Defense System.

He ordered 2,000 sets of Sky Dragon Mark I UAVs and 1,500 sets of Sky Dragon Mark II UAVs, along with 20,000 accompanying air-to-ground missiles and 100,000 bombs.

He ordered 5,000 sets of Tianjian Type I Anti-Tank Missiles with 28,500 accompanying missiles; 3,000 sets of Tianjian Type II Anti-Tank Missiles with 10,000 accompanying missiles; and 2,000 sets of Tianjian Type III Anti-Tank Missiles with 5,000 accompanying missiles.

He ordered 1,500 Fierce Rhino Type II Tanks, 1,500 Fierce Rhino Type III Tanks, and 1,000 Fierce Rhino Type IV Tanks, with 200,000 rounds of various types of shells.

He ordered 2,000 Fierce Tiger Type II Armored Vehicles, 1,500 Fierce Tiger Type III Armored Vehicles, and 1,000 Fierce Tiger Type IV Armored Vehicles, with 300,000 rounds of various types of ammunition.

He ordered 500 Fierce Lion Type II Artillery units, 500 Fierce Lion Type III Artillery units, and 300 Fierce Lion Type IV Artillery units, with 200,000 rounds of various types of shells; he also ordered 300 million rounds of machine gun ammunition for the armored vehicles.

After all the purchases, the total cost was 51.809 billion yuan. For the current system funds Li Yi possessed, this was not a large amount.

Subsequently, Li Yi set the usage area for these weapons and equipment, allowing them to be used normally throughout Libya and the Mediterranean Sea.

Li Yi contacted Colonel Beka. Since Colonel Beka had not yet completed the expansion of the Libyan National Army, it would still take half a month to finish. Only then would Colonel Beka be able to ensure there was sufficient manpower to utilize the received batch of weapons and equipment.

Li Yi naturally did not rush him; half a month was not long. It was the perfect time to deliver the weapons and equipment to Libya, then go to Russia, Iran, and other countries to collect the oil and natural gas they had paid, and deliver the fighter jets and bombers they had procured.

Half a month passed in a flash. Li Yi used the Multiverse Arms Trading System to teleport to the Benghazi area of Libya and delivered all of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles and half of the armored vehicles procured by Libya. The area was instantly piled full of various weapons and equipment.

After notifying Colonel Beka, Li Yi teleported directly to Serbia via the Multiverse Arms Trading System, where he collected 20 million tons of coal, 10 million tons of molybdenite, and 10 million tons of copper ore.

Subsequently, Li Yi arrived in Russia and collected the 100 million barrels of oil, 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas, and 30 million tons of coal delivered by Russia. At the same time, Li Yi teleported to the airbase in Sochi via the Multiverse Arms Trading System and delivered all the remaining fighter jets for Russia in one go.

After this delivery, the Eagle series fighter jets and War Tiger series bombers procured by Russia were all fully delivered. However, it would still take five months to collect all the energy resources paid by Russia.

Li Yi teleported to Iran via the Multiverse Arms Trading System, where he collected 100 million barrels of oil, 6 billion cubic meters of natural gas, 10 million tons of iron ore, and 750 tons of copper ore. At the same time, he delivered the remaining Eagle series fighter jets and half of the War Tiger series bombers procured by Iran.

After this delivery, the Eagle series fighter jets procured by Iran were all fully delivered, leaving only half of the War Tiger series bombers to be delivered within three months.

Li Yi subsequently collected 300 million barrels of oil and 5 billion cubic meters of natural gas from the various countries of the Anti-Judea Coalition, and all arms trading with these countries was concluded. Unless the Anti-Judea Coalition continued to procure weapons, Li Yi would not need to travel there again.

The last place Li Yi visited was Pakistan, where he collected 40 million tons of coal. Because Pakistan had expanded its coal mining scale, the amount of coal provided each month had increased to 20 million tons, allowing for faster delivery. In the future, Pakistan would continue to expand its mining scale.

After handling everything, Li Yi teleported back to Pengcheng via the Multiverse Arms Trading System. This time, he collected a total of 500 million barrels of oil, 21 billion cubic meters of natural gas, 90 million tons of coal, 10 million tons of molybdenite, 10 million tons of iron ore, and 17.5 million tons of copper ore.

Now, the Multiverse Arms Trading System had a cumulative reserve of "72,1008,1201 barrels" of oil, "3641,7509,8624" cubic meters of natural gas, "4,6001,0925" tons of coal, "4000,0102" tons of molybdenite, "2000,0038" tons of iron ore, and "6750,0304" tons of copper ore.

The mineral and energy resources Li Yi possessed increased further, which was very beneficial for making large arms purchases in the future, as there was no need to worry about system fund shortages.

As for the use of this large sum of funds, Li Yi felt that when the Multiverse Arms Trading System unlocked interstellar warships, he could make major purchases, no longer limited to procuring various weapons and equipment used only in this world.

Although various tanks, aircraft, and warships looked advanced, they would eventually have to head towards the Galactic Era; various interstellar warships possessed an absolute advantage over these tanks, aircraft, and warships, and were simply not weapons of the same level.

However, Li Yi was not sure when the interstellar warships of the Multiverse Arms Trading System would be unlocked. Li Yi did have a suspicion that perhaps he needed to procure a sufficient amount of arms to unlock them.

Having only procured 1.2 trillion yuan worth of weapons and equipment, perhaps he was still a long way from unlocking interstellar warships, which was why Li Yi had not been able to see what the various interstellar warships looked like.

But to continue procuring more weapons and equipment, he would need more stored energy and mineral resources. Furthermore, the price of interstellar warships should not be low, so to be able to procure interstellar warships, he would need even more energy and mineral resources.

It seemed Li Yi would have to do a good job of selling even more weapons and equipment.
