On the surface, the Grand Duke is still the master of the Duchy of Diwu, but the resources and military and political power of the Principality are controlled by the warlords, and they have become a mascot-like existence. The Grand Duke could still make a sound, but it was no longer an order, only a call for a joint extermination of the pirates of Graystar, and the warlords were indifferent.

The Anji family retained the most basic face of the Grand Duke's Mansion, at least their own property was not deprived, and the Guards and Grand Duke's fleet were not disbanded and absorbed. It's just that it has lost the support of the state treasury, and the Grand Duke's fleet has become a family fleet supported by the income of the family industry, and the funds are seriously insufficient, and the scale has become smaller and smaller under the continuous reduction.

Ling Kairong and Lu Youjin moved quickly, and it only took two hours before they contacted Ling Qi to say that they were ready. At this time, Ling Qi was taking the two little girls shopping and buying a lot of clothes and daily necessities. Just as he was about to go back, an alien with a horn on his head caught his eye on the street.

The one-horned alien was tall, at least two and a half meters tall, holding two fiery red stone balls the size of a human head in his hands, looking confused. Many people in the crowd would glance at him, and it was the two large stone balls in his hand that attracted Ling Qi's attention, he walked over and said, "Big man, what kind of gem are you holding?" ”

The one-horned alien looked happy and said in a somewhat stiff lingua franca, "Did you know it's a gem?" I said it was a gem, and no one else believed it, and no one wanted to buy it, are you going to buy it, Anu wants to change credits and go home. ”

The one-horned alien is very inactive, and he will leak the bottom line without reservation in a word.

Ling Qiwan stretched out his hand and said, "Show me first, if it's really something I need, I'll buy it." ”

"Oh, you take it, it's a little heavy." The alien who called himself Anu gave one of the gems to Ling Qi. Ling Qi felt that his hand sank, and it was indeed several times heavier than it looked, which showed that the density of the gem was amazing.

At this time, the captain's system prompted: "The flap stone has been found, and the mutated fire attribute energy has been precipitated, and it can be embedded in the car to increase the attack power of the energy weapon!" ”

Ling Qi was overjoyed, this was definitely a good thing, and the gems that increased attack power in the game had always been the highest price. He nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed what I need, how many credits are you going to sell?" ”

"One million credits, is that okay?" Anu asked cautiously, for fear that the price would be too high, and Ling Qi would not want to look at it.

Ling Qi didn't agree immediately, and asked him, "How did you get here?" Is there anything else? ”

The big man shook his head and stammered a story, Ling Qi combined with the network information he had queried in real time, and only then did he know that he came from a resource star in the Duchy of Diwu, where tantalum and niobium ore was mainly produced, which was an important source of materials for various energy matrices.

Therefore, the resource star is also called tantalum and niobium star, and there are some indigenous alien races living on it, and there is oxygen in the atmosphere, but there are also a variety of gas components that are harmful to the human body, which has no effect on those alien races. Therefore, in the process of planet development, the Duchy of Digu educated these alien races, provided mining equipment, and exchanged materials for their labor, helping the Duchy of Digu to mine deposits.

Countless years have passed, and the aliens there have integrated into human society, like many other alien planets, of course, they can only become the lowest level of civilians, and their living conditions are very different from those before civilization, but they are not likely to be rich and rich, and some alien villages are still very poor.

Anu is a miner with formal training and a lot of equipment to operate the equipment, and is considered a "high-income" group in the local area, and the two flenching stones were discovered by his people in the process of mining deposits, and they believe that they are gems and hope to sell them for a good price to further improve the living conditions of the people. But after the people who came and went to the resource star tested it, they all thought that it was just an ordinary stone containing some energy, and it was not even qualified to be used as a spaceship fuel, it was not worth much, and no one wanted to buy it.

Anu was not reconciled, and scraped together 300,000 credits and brought two gems to the capital star to find a buyer. As a result, I found a professional appraisal agency to appraise it, and still came to the conclusion that it was just an ordinary energy stone, even if someone planned to buy it for decoration, he only bid 100,000 credits, which was not enough to make up for his ticket.

He's been wandering around the Capital Star for months, his credits have been spent, and he still hasn't sold the stones. Now that the warlord war has begun, he wants to go back as soon as possible. Luckily, it was the warlord from the Capital Star who currently controlled their planet, otherwise it would be difficult for him to go back.

Ling Qi saw that he was carrying a communicator in his hand and asked, "Is your planet's communicator widespread?" Can I access the interstellar network? ”

"Personal communicators are more common in cities, but there are few villages, and you need to go to a specific place to apply for access to the interstellar network, and spend a lot of credits." Anu looked at Ling Qi with a single horn like an antenna, hoping that he would buy the gem.

Ling Qi glanced around and noticed that many people had stopped to watch them talk, so he said, "Let's change places and say, you can go back with me first." ”

The big man groaned and followed them with two large gems in his arms. Seeing the speedboat, he had an envious expression on his face.

"What kind of transportation do you use in your hometown?" Ling Qi and Xiao Rou sat in the captain's chair and made a recliner for him. He was so tall that he had to lie half-reclining to fit it.

"We use big sampans and carry a lot of things!" After Anu finished speaking, his stomach suddenly gurgled and he rubbed it embarrassedly.

Ao Ying has a natural affection for other races, especially this straightforward big guy, seeing that he may have been starving for a long time, she called Ling Qixian and waited, she got off the speedboat and bought a lot of meat and gave it to him.

Ling Qi saw that he was gobbling up and was indeed hungry, so he gave up communicating with him for the time being, and flew to the beach in a speedboat first. Approaching the beach, Anu finished eating the food and still thanked Ao Ying repeatedly.

Ling Qi added a communicator to him and told him, "I bought your gem for 10 million credits, and if you find it in the future, you will notify me." ”

"Really?" The big man jumped in surprise, and the unicorn almost made a hole in the speedboat.

"Really!" Ling Qi affirmed, and immediately connected with his communicator and transferred the credits to him. The gem is of great use to him, he doesn't plan to bully honest people, and he is surrounded by Xiaorou, a foreign race, he also has the same affection for this big guy as Ao Ying, and plans to help him.

Thinking of the little cat woman, he suddenly moved in his heart and asked, "Anu, are there any cat people on your planet?" ”

Xiao Rou's ears stood up instantly, and the little face looked back at the big man nervously.

Anu said: "Yes, the cat people can see at night, have good eyesight, and are also the main group of people who drive equipment to mine deposits!" ”

Xiao Rou looked at Ling Qi in surprise, she felt that that resource star was most likely her hometown.

Ling Qi held her in his arms, and thought so in his heart, after all, when she was taken to the Bright Blue Star to sell, it was impossible to bring it from a more developed or farther planet, and coming from this resource star was the greatest possibility. And with Ling Qi's little financial resources at the beginning, it is estimated that that guy was also caught easily, and he didn't plan to sell it for much money.

He groaned for a moment and told Anu that he would be on their planet in a while, and if he wanted to wait, he could stay with them first and take the Tomahawk at that time.

Anu was overjoyed, of course he was willing to wait, the cost of a ferry ticket of 100,000 credits was his income from two years of hard work, and he was willing to wait for a long time with this free spaceship.

As he spoke, the seaside arrived, and countless large and small starships were moored on the sea, which was very spectacular. Ling Qi contacted Ling Kairong and Lu Youjin and rendezvous at the coordinate point provided by the other party.

They brought in two speedboats, as well as an additional cargo airship to transport four tertiary thrusters and two energy silos, as well as some hull and interior materials.

"You're fast!"

"There are a lot of these damaged parts and second-hand parts, just find a repair shop to have them!" Lu Youjin said with a smile.

Ling Qi remembered that this was not the Bright Blue Star, but the capital city of the Diwu Capital Star, which was not known how many times more developed, and there should indeed be a large number of second-hand and bad parts, and he even raised the idea of trading in the old for the new. However, thinking that the environment was different and it was too risky to engage here, he gave up in a flash.

In the past, the captain's system prompted that the damage was between 30% and 50%. Without going beyond his range of repairs, he returned to the speedboat, beckoned the two to follow, and flew to the Tomahawk's berth.

The Tomahawk's ground floor warehouse is twenty meters long, fifteen meters wide, and three meters high. After opening the hatch, the two of them drove the speedboat directly into it and parked it according to Ling Qi's wishes, and then came out to direct the cargo airship to use the mechanical arm to put down a few parts and materials. A huge shipping slide slides out of the warehouse, which catches the items and sends them to the warehouse, where they are hoisted onto the shelves under the operation of the intelligent system.

Ling Qi parked his speedboat on the back deck and asked Ao Ying to take Anu to the cabin to arrange a room, and by the way, take the large number of items they had bought.

When they walked away, he put the two flenching stones into the ship's space, and with a thought, he directly gave the mosaic order.

"Inlay Flap Stone, Intermediate Mosaic Skill, 100% Success Rate...... The inlay is successful, and the attack power of all shipboard energy weapons in the vehicle is increased by 10%! ”

"Inlay Flap Stone, Intermediate Mosaic Skill, 95% Success Rate...... The inlay is successful, and the attack power of all shipboard energy weapons in the vehicle is increased by 20%! ”

On both sides of the stern ruby, two fiery red gems silently appeared. While Ling Qi was satisfied, he also had some expectations, now the attack power of each fighter has reached 60,000 in three seconds, if he can find a few more Flen Stones and double the attack power, then even if he encounters a sixth-level battleship, he will have the power to fight.

He entered the warehouse and saw that Ling and Lu were watching the intelligent handling in amazement, and said to them: "It will take two days to modify and renovate, you can drive my speedboat first in the next two days, on the back deck, and I will give you permission later." ”

The two were stunned and said in disbelief: "Can it be done in two days?" I thought you would have to take at least ten days! By the way, this is your workshop? How there are no tools and facilities. ”

"I use a robot, the efficiency is not ordinary, the tools are naturally put away, do you have to make a mess to call the workshop!" Ling Qi rolled his eyes and asked them to hand over the authority of the two speedboats.
