In the boundless universe, a mixed fleet is cautiously advancing.

There are a total of 15 spaceships, of which 11 are low-strength armed G-class mining ships, 1 is a standard G-class interstellar supply ship of the Longshan Empire, and three are actually hideous warships.

As a specialized interstellar mining ship for the second-level civilization, the G-class mining ship is characterized by its sturdiness and large cargo capacity. In fact, it is not very large, and its speed is very slow. This kind of very expensive mining ship, whether it is an energy shield or a spaceship hull, is very good, and these two indicators alone are stronger than the standard battleships of the Longshan Empire.

But the huge investment comes with a bigger return.

These mining ships are often unmanned and can penetrate deep into the universe, even in some of the harshest cosmic regions.

In many cases, a dilapidated mining ship has gone deep into a very dangerous, inaccessible mining area, and finally loads back a whole shipload of energy blocks, and it only takes one trip to make a lot of money.

The three battleships in the middle, the individual is half smaller than the G-class mining ship.

Although the classification standard of warships in the universe cannot be the same as that of the era of naval warfare on earth, it is actually similar under the translation of the universal lingua franca. (The interstellar lingua franca standard is widely used later.) Starships are generally divided into interstellar battleships, interstellar cruisers, interstellar destroyers, interstellar patrol ships.

These three warships are no more than the size of the Longshan Empire's standard destroyers, but their hideous appearance has countless powerful energy cannon muzzles, and at first glance they are the kind of extremely expensive custom warships.

Customized warships are different from military standard warships, and can be customized according to the needs of customers, such as the size of the battleship, the speed, the defense capability of the battleframe, the firepower, etc.

Such expensive warships, often small in size, fast in speed, very strong, and very expensive, were the seats and frigates of those rich and powerful nobles or officials.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Each of the 15 ships is painted with a symbol, a totemic symbol with a snake face.

The spacecraft fired along the way, occasionally blasting some dangerous large meteorites into pieces, and even then, there were still numerous meteorites that smashed onto the spacecraft. Sometimes, it will drive into a chaotic star belt, and no matter how you avoid it, the ship will be hit by a huge meteorite, and once the energy shield can't hold on, you can only rely on the ship's hull armor to resist.

It was the coat of arms of the Garimo family, and it was also the deity they worshipped.

The larger of the three is painted with the emblem of an important member of the Garimo family, a red human-faced snake god clan emblem. That's the flagship of this mining fleet.

At this time, compared to the dark and dangerous lost star field route outside, and the bumpy spaceship, the flagship has a different scenery.

"Damn Lost Starfield!"

In the huge captain's room, a man with a serpentine mark between the heads of the group felt a shock from the battleship, and the crimson liquid in the wine glass in his hand spilled some more, and he was immediately furious, kicked out, and kicked a ** body of Garimo Beauty next to him to the ground, her face covered with blood. The other seven or eight women surrounding him were suddenly silent, for fear of angering the young master of the Garimo family.

Judging from the clan emblem, these people are all members of the Garimo family, and the man with the serpentine mark is the 18th ranked young master from the Garimo family.

There is not much difference between Garimo and earthlings, but they are much more slender in terms of body and look less harmonious than earthlings.

"Someone! Come! ”

The man yelled loudly, throwing the cup to the ground and shattering it, splashing the women with liquid and debris.

"Master Quinn!"

A middle-aged man in military uniform walked into the captain's room and raised his hand to give a Garimo military salute on his chest.

"How long will it take for this damn Lost Star Domain to get out? I've had enough. Of the five state-of-the-art custom warships, two were damaged before they could reach the place, and the remaining three were all damaged, and even the G-class mining ship lost one.

Love, what the hell is this place to fuck here. ”

Quinn scolded.

There was a strange sign on the side of Love's ear, which was a universal slave symbol in the universe, and such an extraordinary fleet officer was actually a slave.

"Young Master, the Lost Star Domain is the closest mysterious star field to the Garimo family. Hundreds of years ago, one of our mining fleets was lucky enough to find a safer route to navigate.

After passing through the Lost Star Field, the fleet discovered a small star field, and found a planet with a large civilization, as well as a mine star with a variety of rare minerals, including energy mines, and the reserves were very rich.

Subsequently, the family sent a mining fleet led by F-class mining ships to try to exploit them, but unfortunately, they were attacked. ”

Love was furious in his heart, this damn young master Quinn wanted to participate in this operation, but he didn't even look at the relevant information, thinking that it was just a rumor circulating in the family: the family had found a mining star, rich in reserves, and found traces of life.

The general situation is indeed true, but it is far more serious than this young master thinks.

But he can't help it, the Garimo family is the largest nobleman in the southwest of the empire, ruling seven planets, and this young master Quinn is even more favored, with a rich planet under his name, which can be regarded as powerful.

In order to protect him, the family directly sent five state-of-the-art F-class private frigates, which were from the same third-level civilization as the F-class mining ship that remained in the solar system.

But now, the two F-class frigates have been crashed, and it is too dangerous to lose the star field, and in the case of a safer route, the loss is still huge, and if a standard fleet comes in, it will definitely be wiped out.

Those boundless chaotic star belts, super ion storm areas, super strong electromagnetic field areas...... There are so many dangers, and of course, the biggest danger is getting lost.

Love is the most experienced captain of the Garimo family, and if it weren't for him, it is very likely that more than half of the mining ships would have lost their course this time, as in the past, even if they advanced in formation.

"What? A living planet with a huge civilization? Energy mines with very rich reserves?? What is the name of that little galaxy? Why didn't you say it earlier!! ”

Quinn changed his anger just now, his eyes lit up, this time he came to the right place, he didn't go to Yanjing to play with women, but followed his mother's order to go to this small star field, it turned out that there was a great good thing waiting for him. He even blamed his mother for talking so much that she didn't make it clear what should be the family's top secret.

Love only felt that his head was big for a while, and when he reported to him, he was busy playing with women, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, only he knew the secret on this trip, after all, he was the person most valued by the current patriarch of the Garimo family, although he was still a slave.

"Young Master, this is the top secret of the family, and the patriarch has instructed that you can only tell you the truth if you enter the Lost Star Domain." Love paused slightly, and said, "Those natives call their planet the Earth and the small star field the solar system, but the strange thing is that they actually know the Milky Way, and they are just like us in terms of name. ”

"Earth, the solar system! Interesting, show me their profile. ”

Quinn grew more and more interested, kicked the damn women away a few times, and took the information intently.

"Sure enough, they are natives, they are not ugly, they are similar to the people of our Longshan Empire, but their stature is too poor, fat and short, oh, the goddess Garimo is on top, I take back what I just said, they are really ugly.

Love, what is it? ”

Quinn asked, pointing to a strange ship in the virtual frame.

"That's a sailboat, young master. According to the most recent data, they are still in the age of intraplanetary navigation. ”

Love said, translating it in the lingua franca of the universe. (Later words, if there is a conflict, are regarded as the result of the universal translation of the cosmic language, the words are different, but the meaning is the same.) "Sailboats? Hahaha, I'm glad I'm knowledgeable, otherwise I wouldn't have known there was such a thing. Let me think, damn history, the Age of Discovery, that was 100,000 years ago. ”

Quinn laughed loudly, in his opinion, these ignorant indigenous planetarians are indeed stupid and backward.

"However, young master, there are some strange things about this civilization. According to the collected information, their current civilization has a recorded history of no more than 10,000 years, but they have great achievements in culture, science and technology, and thought. There was something that even shocked the scholars of the clan.

Moreover, their technology is developing very fast, you see, this is a sailboat, but, young master, look what this is! ”

Love adjusted the virtual screen, and suddenly a ship with black smoke was rumbling across the sea.

"Ships? It's really a backward antique, and it's not even garbage. Quinn said dismissively.

"But young master, there is only 60 years between this sailing ship and this steam-powered ship!"

Love said incredulously.

"60 years? What does it matter, it's all rubbish anyway. "Quinn doesn't know what's going on.

Love took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and said, "Young Master, but our Longshan Empire developed from the era of sailing ships to the era of steamships in a similar period, and the shortest time recorded was five hundred years. ”

"What? This can't be, you must be mistaken, huh! How can the natives be compared to the great Longshan Empire. With a wave of his hand, Quinn interrupted Love's words and said, "Tell me what danger they are in." ”

"It's not clear yet, it should be that the exploration fleet encountered some exiled cosmic races, or some relics, and was defeated by them. However, young master, rest assured, we have confirmed that as long as we do not take the initiative to provoke those ruins or exiled races, they will not take the initiative to attack us. ”

Love became more and more disappointed in this young master, timid and afraid of death, unlearned, naïve, idiot, lustful, greedy for money, and he had almost every kind of disease of a gentleman.

"Well, I'll leave the rest to you, this solar system will belong to me, you have to keep me safe, I'm one of the heirs of the Garimo family, sooner or later, my father will reward you to me."

Quinn had already made up his mind not to be in danger, and he was secretly happy that his mother had let him take over such a rich star field in disguise. When the danger passes, he will stay here and make it his sphere of influence.

"Yes, young master!"

"Also, if you ask my mother for reinforcements in my name, you say I need more warships! Call me again when you're about to get out of the Lost Star Field. ”

"Yes, young master!"

After Love's departure, he sighed and sent a message to the Garimo family asking for help in order to ensure the safety of the coward, and of course, he did not forget to send a communication message to the solar system to contact the mastermind of the F-class mining ship.

From time to time, two special communications were sent to the Garimo family and the solar system.

"I've finally finished exchanging those scattered little things."

To exchange such a huge amount of materials at one time, even if Zhang Shusheng did not rely on his mouth, but used his battle spirit power to communicate directly with Zhang Bing, it took more than an hour.

The inventory of the dream system is too huge, often Zhang Shusheng proposes a thing, there will be ten or dozens of hundreds of kinds of things to exchange, at this time you need to choose the most suitable for the earth, the most inexpensive to exchange.

After exchanging these ordinary things and scientific and technological materials, Zhang Shusheng began to deal with the big order in his hand.

"Let's take a look at the Super Machine Manufacturing Center first."

Zhang Shusheng said, he and Zhang Bing were both excited at the same time, this thing is a real big thing.

"Yes, boss."

Zhang Bing clicked his hand, and the virtual picture in front of him suddenly appeared a city.

It is not accurate to say that it is a city, it should be said that it is a super machine manufacturing center on the scale of a small city.

This integrated super machine manufacturing center can manufacture all kinds of machines that the earth will need for a long time to come, as long as there are raw materials, even ordinary machinery of the second-level civilization can be produced.

"G+ super machinery manufacturing center, from the Ma Enlai commercial federation, although the Ma Enlai business federation is only a secondary federation, but it is based on commerce, this kind of G + super machinery manufacturing center is very cheap, can manufacture most of the secondary civilization of machinery and equipment, although not as good as the F level super machinery manufacturing center, but it is the most inexpensive."

Zhang Bing briefly introduced.

Zhang Shusheng also looked at its surname and parameters, this covers an area of thirty kilometers of small city scale machinery manufacturing center, is completely integrated, of course, the empire will also build some simple supporting facilities, and finally the entire area is likely to reach seventy or eighty kilometers in a radius, completely a large and medium-sized city.

It is best to build it by the sea, with a power station of sufficient power, and then there should be a matching spaceport or other transportation to facilitate transportation.

Another thing that Zhang Shusheng is very satisfied with is that it has a very high degree of automation and only needs a small number of technical elites and robots to operate. All that comes down to about 50,000 technicians and 100,000 robots is enough.

Of course, it takes time and money to train technicians, and robots need it even more.

"100,000 robots...... Zhang Bing, look at the exchange price of this robot that meets the technical standards. ”

Zhang Shusheng felt a big head for a while, the previous thirty years combined, he only exchanged less than 2,000 robots, and now he needs to exchange 100,000 for a super machinery manufacturing center, it is really much easier to lose than to prosper.

But this can't be helped, this super huge system, when it was designed, it was not designed to be controlled by people, according to the manual, the original manufacturing center, the Maenlai Commercial Federation only invested 10,000 people, and the rest are all robots. Zhang Shusheng and the others considered that the empire needed to train a large number of skilled workers, so they raised the ratio to the limit of 50,000 to 100,000.

This kind of super-complex manufacturing center is very helpful and extremely productive in training skilled workers who are familiar with advanced equipment.

"The exchange price of a single robot is 20 points, the exchange price of 100,000 robots, and the system gives you a discount to the boss, 1.5 million points. Owner, what a deal. Some manufacturing centers need advanced robots, because the number is too small, the system can give you directly. ”

"20 points? That's cheap! Much cheaper than the bots that were previously exchanged. ”

The robots that Zhang Shusheng exchanged before were either instructors or combat robots, all of them were very outstanding, and the price of one was often expensive to death, and the most expensive ones were scientist robots, and some even reached 10,000 points.

"These are all fixed post robots, they only need to be familiar with one or several links of production, or some handling coolie robots, far inferior to those instructor-type robots, are very cheap, and the number is huge, the system gives the boss you a discount."

Zhang Bing explained.

Zhang Shusheng suddenly became enlightened, yes, most of these robots will even be fixed in a certain production area, and the requirements for them only need to be accurate and skilled, 20 points each, such a preferential price is still very cost-effective.

"Okay, exchange 100,000 of these improvised industrial robots."

Zhang Shusheng nodded helplessly in agreement.

"Yes, boss."

"There is also a super machine manufacturing center, which has also been redeemed together."

Zhang Shusheng gritted his teeth and said, he didn't want to spend points so lavishly, there were a total of more than 10 million points in his pocket, and it cost 1.5 million just to buy a robot, and the bits and pieces in front of him were not expensive individually, but they were expensive to death, and they actually spent more than 1.8 million points, and now they are more than 3.3 million points.

"Boss, the system really loves you so much, the price after the discount, the super machinery manufacturing center, the whole set of equipment includes freight, uh, God, of course you can't charge freight, a total of 2.5 million points. In addition, some supporting things, the system directly gives you the boss. ”

Zhang Bing spread his hands and signaled that this was the result.

"Shhh...... That's 6 million points, no ......"

Zhang Shusheng only felt that the big points of the world were too few, and he felt that he had too many points before, and a Zhonghua battleship only needed more than 2 million points, and this super mechanical manufacturing center plus robots could actually buy two Zhonghua battleships.

Seeing that he still had more than 4 million points left, he knew that he was afraid that he would spend it all in one go this time.

"Again, exchange for 10 more cargo ships."

"100,000 boats, boss, it's so cheap."

“……”

"The rest is weapons, spend these points, and see how to redeem them to optimize."

Zhang Shusheng doesn't stop doing it, the Garimo people may come to the earth at any time, and he can't be stingy, otherwise the earth's nest will be lost, where will he go to build civilization?

"Boss, this is the best exchange list."

Zhang Bing pulled his hand, and a row of lists appeared on the virtual screen.

"Two firepower enhanced versions of G-class battleships, 1,000 antimatter mines, 30 improvised G-class interstellar fortress guns, free fortress cannon camouflage devices, communication jamming devices."

This time, Zhang Shusheng gasped again, not frightened, but happy, the remaining 3 million points can be exchanged for so many things??
