"The Nok Merchant Alliance is worthy of being the top of the second-level civilization, and together with the Longshan Empire, it is known as the country that is most likely to be promoted to a third-level civilization within two hundred years."

Zhang Shusheng flipped through the information about the Noke Business Alliance and sighed with emotion.

The Nok Business Alliance, located on the side of the Lost Star Domain, has an extremely vast land star field, with 91 life planets, only a few less than the Longshan Empire, and it has countless resource stars, and all the resources required by the second-level civilization can be basically self-sufficient.

Like the Longshan Empire, the Nok Merchant Alliance also has many vassals and followers, with two second-level civilizations alone and countless first-level civilizations.

For a long time, the Nok Business Alliance had been fighting against the Longshan Empire with the support of the Guluo Federation.

If the two giants of the Southwest Star Domain of the Milky Way are the Silver Moon Empire and the Guluo Federation, the two major groups in the Lost Star Domain are the Longshan Empire Group and the Nok Business Alliance Group.

The two groups have been facing each other for thousands of years, both sides have strong backing, and the two third-level civilizations are always paying attention, giving technology money and even equipment when necessary, which makes it impossible for both sides to go to full-scale war for thousands of years.

Now, the entire galaxy is surging, and the Silver Moon Empire and the Guluo Federation are also fully deploying troops, while the Longshan Empire and the Nok Business Alliance have already mobilized elites to fight a big battle in Kana Fortress, which can be regarded as basically figuring out the means of both sides.

In Zhang Shusheng's view, the Battle of Kana Fortress means that the Longshan Empire and the Noke Merchant Alliance have officially entered the stage of full-scale war, and it is impossible for the two sides to stop negotiating, especially the surrounding countries are fighting chaotically, and the huge fuse of the Principality of Ranke is like a dynamite barrel to involve everyone.

"Boss, you have a dream machine, and with my help, as long as you stay in the Lost Star Domain and develop steadily for a few years, when the time comes for a full-scale war, you will definitely be able to beat them."

Since Zhang Bing learned the idiom, he would drag a few sentences from time to time, and he stayed with Zhang Shusheng for a long time, becoming more and more human-like, which means that his human-like intelligence has been upgraded again.

Zhang Shusheng turned off the virtual information in front of him, walked to the porthole, looked at the endless starry sky outside and said: "Heroes are born in troubled times, and the empire needs such troubled times."

If it develops peacefully, even with the help of the Dream Machine, it will be a thousand years before the empire wants to rise.

War, which can destroy countless civilizations, also provides opportunities for other civilizations to rise. Compared to the distribution of interstellar war wealth, other interstellar trade is simply not mentionable. ”

"Boss, we'll sell them third-rate battleships, make a bang, and wait for our first-class or even super-first-class battleships to be produced, and then we'll clean them up."

In Zhang Bing's opinion, the Tianlong-class battleships can only be regarded as third-rate battleships, and the Shenlong-class battleships can barely be regarded as second-rate.

"I also want to build a first-class battleship, it's expensive.

The Zhonghua is a first-class battleship, but how much can we afford to build? Three or five? It's okay to use them for flagships, large-scale construction is not possible for at least ten years. ”

Zhang Shusheng can't either, the Shenlong-class battleship is already an ultra-difficult battleship, and the empire can earn astronomical cosmic coins by selling the Tianlong-class in order to continuously upgrade the equipment and increase the manufacturing speed of the Shenlong-class battleship.

A super battleship like the China cannot be built even by a third-level civilization, and if the empire has to build it, 70% of its parts will have to be exchanged from the Dream Machine.

After all, many of the technologies on the Zhonghua used the technology of the fifth-level civilization, and Zhang Shusheng didn't have the confidence to play it by himself.

"We will definitely be able to build it, as long as the system is upgraded again, we will be able to spend a lot of money to upgrade the factory, upgrade the auxiliary factory, improve the overall warship manufacturing capacity, and improve our cutting-edge technology, so that even if some parts are obtained through exchange, we can still make most of the parts."

Zhang Bing was full of confidence, but his words reminded Zhang Shusheng.

"You're right, it would be nice if the system was upgraded again, but unfortunately, I don't know what the conditions are that trigger the system to upgrade again."

Zhang Shusheng sighed, now the dream system is still in the global system, that is, the planetary system stage, and the star field system has not yet been opened in the next stage.

He originally thought that the Empire would be able to occupy the Lost Star Domain and defeat the invasion of the Principality of Rank, which would be regarded as the opening condition of the Star Field System.

Who knows, the subsystem of the dream system, the Great Navigation System, has been opened, but the Star Field System has not been opened for a long time.

Below the star system is the galaxy system, which is even more distant.

Zhang Shusheng's greatest wish now is to be able to open the star field system of the dream machine as soon as possible, and when the time comes, it will definitely help the empire greatly improve its strength and shorten the time to advance to the second-level civilization.

"Boss, as long as we hold our breath and develop, we will definitely be able to meet the trigger conditions."

Zhang Bing really didn't know that his understanding of the dream machine system was not as good as Zhang Shusheng's, and his authority could only query ordinary databases, which could be regarded as the housekeeper of the dream machine for Zhang Shusheng, but the core power was the same.

This is also the reason why he is willing to follow Zhang Shusheng forever, in his opinion, the master and the dream system are integrated, and the master is actually a god-like existence. It's just that this god is very human, which makes him like it very much and feels very comfortable.

"I hope so."

Zhang Shusheng also firmly believes that he will definitely be able to open the star field system, and that is when the empire will show its strength.

……

Ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the small spaceship has been heading all the way to the Nok Business Alliance, in order not to attract attention, the spaceship has always turned on the stealth system, flying at high speed at its design speed, this special spaceship has a speed of up to 10 times the speed of light, and can even jump freely in critical moments.

Not only is it fast, has strong defense, and can make free jumps, but it is equipped with a weapon system that comes from the top five-level civilization, not to mention the small caliber of the main gun, the power of one shot is comparable to the main gun of the Zhonghua.

It has two disadvantages, it consumes too much energy, the main gun can only fire a few shots, there is no massive standard energy block can not play at all, and you must flee for your life after a few shots.

It is also one of the prizes that Zhang Shusheng won when the Great Navigation Subsystem was opened, which can be called a necessary weapon for killing people and escaping at home.

"Boss, there's a jump gate ahead."

Zhang Shusheng was playing chess with He Ning, this ancient way of leisure, the earth woman still likes it, and when she heard Zhang Bing's report, she was eaten by He Ning without paying attention.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is going to lose."

"I'll take a look, come back and move on."

Zhang Shusheng squeezed her hand, and then got up and came to the captain's command platform.

"There's a public jump gate ahead?"

"Yes, boss."

The virtual screen in front of the command platform suddenly lit up, and I saw a very grand space jump gate in front of me in the endless starry sky.

The territory of the Nok Merchant Alliance is vast, compared to some junk second-level civilizations that are only a few light-years in diameter, its territory has reached 25 light-years in diameter, and its sphere of influence is close to 50 light-years.

If there is no space jump gate, and all the battleships of the Nok Merchant Alliance cannot make a free jump, then, if there is a rebellion within the Merchant Alliance, and the battleship with a speed of only a few tenths of a light year is used to quell the rebellion, it is estimated that the fleet will be in place, and the other party will be the emperor for more than ten years.

Therefore, space doors began to appear in a large number of third-level civilizations, and they also began to appear in second-level civilizations, but the construction cost was too high.

The one in front of him is used by the Nok military during the war, in the direction that Zhang Shusheng came all the way, although it is not the border of the Nok Business Alliance, but there is a first-level civilization, this first-level civilization is not weak, with three life planets, this jump gate is to protect this star field, but also to guard against the Ranks.

After all, Zhang Shusheng came here, and he was at the junction of Ranke and Nock.

In wartime, in order to reduce costs, military officials and tycoons can still use it.

"Prepare to make the leap, otherwise it will take a whole year to run from here to the capital star of the Nok Business Alliance."

Zhang Shusheng said helplessly, a big country is like this, the territory is vast, even if this spaceship has ten times the speed of light, but after all, it is too far away.

He couldn't help but think of a question, it would be so far to go to the Nok Business Alliance now, and if he went to the location of the federal political axe of the Galactic Pan-Human Alliance in the future, I am afraid it would be even more troublesome.

The reason is simple, the diameter of the Milky Way is close to 100,000 light years, and if you fly by a spaceship, it is simply a fantasy.

Soon, Zhang Bing initiated a jump request to the jump gate management station, and an investigator from the jump station came in with a communication.

"Hello sir, we will conduct a routine inspection of you and your spacecraft below, please cooperate."

"Feel free."

Zhang Shusheng smiled and motioned for the other party to start.

This kind of inspection is routine, after all, if the enemy drives a spaceship and runs to blow up the jump gate, then the loss will be great, don't look at the spaceship is 20,000 kilometers away from the jump gate at this time, in fact, there are at least a hundred powerful defensive main guns aimed at it. Of course, Zhang Shusheng also turned on the monitoring radar, as long as the other party moved, the spacecraft named Su Wu could escape in advance.

The inspection went smoothly, the main gun system of the spacecraft was molded, the energy supply system of the main gun was even hidden in the power system, which was not detected at all in peacetime, and some small arms systems were also very well hidden, and the instruments of the Nock military did not find any abnormalities in several full-body scans.

The investigator asked Zhang Shusheng a few questions, where he came from and where he was going, all of which were easily deceived by Zhang Bing's fabricated identity as an adventurous nobleman of the Noke Business Alliance.

"Honorable Mr. Viscount, your ship is ready to jump."

After charging a jump fee of 200,000 cosmic coins, the jump station was finally released, and after Zhang Shusheng thanked the other party, he ordered the spacecraft to sail into the jump gate.

"Set the transition coordinates: No. 5 Jump Gate near Azure Star, the capital star of the Nok Business Alliance." (To be continued.) )
