Chapter 25: Buying a Boat
Taking a regular passenger ship, traveling through the star field of the empire is undoubtedly a relatively easy thing, there is no star thief harassment, and there is no need to hide everywhere, Luke now only needs to sit in his cabin and wait leisurely to reach his destination.
The only drawback is that you often have to deal with the complaints of your own ship's dissatisfaction.,It's a bit boring to live too peaceful.。 There are always some guys who have all their thoughts on fighting, and who makes the ship girls not interested in the entertainment of the Yaka people at all.
"Really, Luke, why don't we fly in our own spaceship, it's boring to always fly on someone else's ship." The South is the most obvious one, these days I run to Luke every now and then to complain, this kind of day is a little unbearable to sit in the cabin and wait to get to the station.
In fact, Luke also felt a little boring, because often there is not too much freedom on the passenger ship, except for his own cabin, he can only stay in those open places for a while, and it is better to be free on his own ship.
At the beginning, I did get a flight permit in Gergo, but that thing was for civilian ships, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy, Luke didn't expect this stubble, Fuso's hulls, one by one, can be said to be armed to the teeth, and they are not compatible with civilian ships at all, if you use this flight permit, it is estimated that you will be stopped as a criminal before you go far.
You can't remove all the weapons from the ship, can you? When the time comes, won't it be another trouble? Just go buy a small spaceship, it's a lot more convenient.
A small spaceship is almost enough for them to live in, but the space will be a little smaller, but it's not that small.
"Okay, when I get there, I'll see if I can buy a small boat, our ship can't be driven, there are too many weapons on it, and it's long beyond the civilian level." After thinking about it for a long time, Luke made up his mind.
And recently, he also found that taking a passenger ship is really a bit expensive, and after two or three times, the ticket price is almost the same as buying a small spaceship.
After three transfers, Luke and the others had already left the Hall Star Region at this time and arrived in a new region, and their current position could truly be regarded as entering the hinterland of the Empire's ruling region.
In this area, the security problem obviously doesn't need Luke to worry about, the chance of hitting a star thief in the waterway here is very small, basically impossible, Luke has also heard that those Yaka people are also very concerned about their own safety, and the defense force in this area is more than that of the Hall Star District.
If you buy a small spaceship, even if you don't carry weapons, it won't be too much of a problem, and Luke didn't plan to buy those weapons made by the Yaka people in the first place, not to mention the ease of using them himself, the ammunition and energy consumption are not low, but it is just an extra amount of energy and ammunition expenses, which is not useful.
Anyway, the ship girls bring their own weapons.,If there's any problem.,It's good to let the ship girls come forward to solve it.,No matter how bad it is, you can also use the mechs that you got from the star thieves before.,The mechs on the two spaceships of the Karon Star Pirates were also taken back by the ship girls.。
Now they are almost each with a mecha, but these mecha have not been transformed, although they can be used, but for the ship girls and Luke, it is very twisted to use, after all, the habits and control systems of the Yaka people are different from those of humans, ah, it is different from the kind that Luke made at the beginning, the ship girls have long been used to the kind that Luke made, and now the control system of the Yaka people naturally feels very twisted.
After getting off the ship, Luke took the shipwives around the city, and by the way, he asked where there were places to sell spaceships, and some wealthy people would buy a spaceship for their families, some big and some small, after all, with a spaceship, whether it was to travel or escape, it was more convenient than nothing.
In these years, it is all dependent on the emperor, but it is unreliable, the emperor is also a person, of course, he is not an undefeated god of war, once the emperor ** goes wrong, if he doesn't run for his life, will he sit at home and wait for death? Even if the enemy can't slaughter these civilians, but artillery fire doesn't have eyes, once there is any stray bullet or something, it will definitely be dead and even scum can't have the rhythm left.
Therefore, running away is the most ideal countermeasure, and the Yaka people, who have many colonized planets, sometimes really make the decision to completely 'purify' this planet because there are too many ground resistance.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if the people are gone, the reconstruction of the colonized planet is just to spend more resources and more time, and these wasted resources can be mined on a planet rich in minerals. This is a big deal, in this era of interstellar warfare, human life is just a string of numbers, and the number of dead people is impossible to count when the battleship goes down.
Ah, it's far away, saying that Luke has already found a private factory in the edge of the city, which is not very small, saying that it is the edge of the city, but it is actually not far from the vicinity of the starport, who made the starport originally located on the edge of the city.
The factory, or shipyard, occupies a large area, and Luke estimates that the largest medium-sized spaceship can be built here, and there should be no problem in building a small spaceship for a shipyard of this size.
And next to this shipyard are several warehouses that are exactly the same size as the shipyard, and it seems that they are used to store the ships that have already been built.
After telling the boss about his plan to buy a ship, the boss happily took Luke to the warehouse to see the goods.
"Your luck is really good, this ship just went off the assembly line the day before yesterday, it was originally ordered by a wealthy businessman, a small spaceship, and it can be used for both travel and escape, but that guy seems to be a little unlucky, he happened to bump into the son of the star lord and was jealous of others when he was eating in the restaurant, and one of them was accidentally killed by a stray bullet. Naturally, there was no buyer for this ship, and his wife and children turned to others, and the ship was backlogged with me, and I was still worried about how to sell this ship. ”
The owner of the shipyard was a small Yaka, and he could probably tell that this guy was not young, and the gray-brown spots on his face were more on his chin, which could be seen at a glance, and this was summed up by Luke after looking at the faces of many Yakka people on the hologram.
After the tarp covering the spaceship was pulled up, Luke also saw the appearance of the ship, the whole body was red shell, and the surface coating was a non-reflective paint, which looked a little sassy, and the rich businessman was also a talent, so he actually thought of buying a red spaceship.
But it's okay, in Luke's opinion, the color doesn't matter, anyway, in the universe, no matter what color you use, it will eventually be detected by the active detector, who made this ship a civilian spacecraft, and there are not so many means of anti-scanning.
"The appearance is okay, it's her." Seeing that there were no strange ornaments on this spaceship that were particularly in the style of the Yaka people, Luke also happily decided that the internal situation did not matter, and it was necessary to renovate it after all.
Otherwise, there aren't so many cabins for the ship's ladies to live in, "Boss, let's go in and have a look, I guess the cabins inside will definitely have to be changed." ”
"Okay, no problem, even if it's converted into a palace, it's no problem." Seeing that Luke very refreshedly transferred the 11 million Hana to him for the purchase of the spaceship, the shipyard owner Duroc naturally followed with a smile.
The ship girls also followed, carefully looking at the ship one by one, the most serious is Akashi, this guy is studying how this ship is different from the spaceship made by Luke.
Originally, this ship was custom-made for family use, and there were not many cabins on the ship, there were ten cabins in total, which was far from enough for Luke, at least twenty of them, and even then, the shipwives had to live in a cabin for at least four people.
Let Luke inexplicably feel that the treatment he gave to the ship girls seems to be getting more and more back, and he can basically meet the needs of one or two people in a cabin before, but now he has to return to the original four-person room.
It will take several days to renovate the internal facilities, which is still fast, after all, Luke pays very happily, pays on the spot, or in full, this kind of buyer is not good to serve, do you want to serve those guys who are not willing to take the deposit?
Duroc called almost all the workers in the shipyard, and they started work on the same day one by one, and Luke was also a little stunned, these guys' work enthusiasm is a little high? Why do they all seem to be so close that they can't keep their mouths together?
In fact, these workers, every time they have this kind of work, most of them calculate the money alone, and Duroc will give them this single money separately afterwards, even if it is extra money, and there are few orders in the shipyard, it is naturally happy to earn some extra money now.
In addition to renovating the new cabin, Luke also asked Duroc to intercept a part of the space in the cargo hold and transform it into a hangar, he planned to put two mechs in it, if he encountered some small thieves, he could do it himself, and the provincial ship girls took action.
And it seems that they also like to play with mechas, otherwise how could all the mecha in the two ships of the Karon Star Pirates be brought back by them? He didn't tell the shipwives to bring those mechs with them, if he hadn't suddenly seen the shipwives throwing some items that obviously didn't belong to them one day, Luke really didn't know that these guys had quietly brought those mechs back.
However, the most pleasing thing about Luke's purchase of the spaceship this time was that Duroc actually came with a star map of the entire empire, although it was only a civilian-level, but it was comprehensive, and it recorded the characteristics and precautions of most of the planets, which was very useful for Luke.
