Chapter 4 Welcome to the Firmament

On the space station, Lu Lu updated the star chart record of the North Wind. The Yanhuang Galaxy, the capital of the Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info, is in another star field, very far away from Stefa, and traveling through the stargate requires about sixty jumps.

According to the common sense of this world, it will take about a month or so. Although it is not mature, Lu Lu knows very well how abnormal the North Wind is to this world.

Before setting sail, the bad middle-aged man accompanied Lu Lu to the office of the Integration Department for registration. Only the ID recorded in the computer of the Integration Department can enter the space station controlled by the major empires and groups. In this way, Lu Lu really has an identity in this world.

"Do you think the 30,000 ISK is too little? But for newbies, it's a good job. Aside from energy consumption, there is also an income of more than 10,000 yuan left over. You must know that 10,000 yuan is enough for a family for a year. Liu Feng, a guy who had obviously entered the state of a bad uncle, laughed at the young people around him with a mocking look.

"Ah, that's enough for a year, but that's the price of the ground. I know the price of goods in space. Yesterday's dinner cost more than 6,000. Lu Lu shrugged helplessly, looking at the scenery outside the car, Lu Lu muttered, as if he was looking at Manhattan from the air. The feeling inside the space station is really subtle. The scenery here is not the same as what I saw yesterday. ”

"Of course it's different, yesterday you saw the passenger port area, and below him is the cargo port area, which is called the port area, and we are currently on the way to the trade area. Basically, though, the space station is configured like this. If you want to repair it, you have to go to a nearby repair station, which is mainly used as a trade transit. ”

"Bounty hunters are hard work, but the DED (Joint Security Agency) welcomes rookie captains like you." The staff of the Integration Department held out their hands. "Welcome to the world above the firmament, Captain Lulu."

"Thank you." Lu Lu replied dryly. Captain Lulu, how ugly is that...... The captain is much better.

"Get ready to go, Miss." Lu Lu stepped into the cockpit. "By the way, is the cooking machine already installed?"

"Yes, Captain, four hundred and eighty thousand dollars were spent." The sixty million lady still answered as before.

"Straight to the Yellow Galaxy?" Lu Lu was a little melancholy, the engine of the Raven-class battleship did not need to consume additional energy, and moreover, after entering the jump space, it was in an absolutely safe state, during which the capacitor would automatically recover energy. "Although the North Wind has been registered with the Integration Department, if the data is too abnormal, it will be found to be problematic. I don't think I have the capital to deal with the DED cops right now. ”

For the ships of this world, between jumps, it takes time to fill up with energy matter, and the North Wind can be completely omitted. The control of the Boreas can be done by only one person, although there are currently 20 marines in charge of the ship's defense, and the crew is only twenty-one. The Boreas, in this world, is only a frigate in terms of tonnage. In the usual sense, the crew of a frigate is about a hundred people. Of course, this is for battleships. Most of the ships used for other purposes do not require so many crews.

"Anyway, according to common sense, there are a lot of empty places in the cargo hold anyway, bring some specialties and so on. Sell it on the supply stations along the way. Lu Lu sat in the driver's seat, opened his account and checked, the original ISK of more than 800,000 shrank to less than 100,000 in just one day, Lu Lu couldn't help but wrinkle his face. However, things here in Stefa are really expensive, so let's go to the Lenin Federation Navy first. ”

"The outbound request has been accepted. Sequence 25, please wait. The Administrator's voice was still cold, full of formulaic words.

"Thank you." Lu Lu actually knew that this administrator was the computer program responsible for managing the order of the port. Still, habit made Lu Lu thank you.

Of course, computers don't have any response, and they're nowhere near as smart as 60 million.

"One last check before sailing."

"The shield energy is sufficient, the hull armor is in good condition, the replenishment of cruise missiles is over, the carrier-based aircraft formation is in good condition, the nano armor repair system is normal, the energy system is normal...... Captain, everything is ready. ”

Lu Lu looked at the countdown displayed on the communication channel.

"It's just a free space station, but it's busy. I really expect the space station under the control of the Navy, which will be bigger and more lively. ”

Humans label the galaxies they set foot on, and then, where they are suitable to sail, build space stations and assert their sovereignty.

Like the Federation, an empire-level power whose history dates back to the beginning of the Earth Age, the Federation Navy certainly has a surprisingly large amount of power. The videos on the Internet that record the war make Lu Lu full of admiration and expectation.

The steward finally sent permission to sail, and according to the procedure, the port steward assigned a passage for the passage of the North Wind. The huge thrust pushed the small body of the North Wind straight out of the space station. At this time, Lu Lu could see a moving wall of black steel on the parallel passage on the left. Looking at the behemoth passing by, Lu Lu couldn't help but shudder.

"What is this?"

"The Dragon-class transport ship developed by Dalian Industrial Group in order to meet the needs of long-distance interstellar trade, with a capacity of three million cubic meters. THE OVERALL LENGTH IS CLOSE TO 4000M, AND EACH NODE HAS ITS OWN PROPULSION DEVICE, SO THE SPEED IS ACCEPTABLE. It is a very suitable ship for transportation, and most commercial trade ships in the Commonwealth are converted from the Dragon class. "What 60 million does not say is that this kind of ship can also increase the transportation volume by adding towing cabins, and at the same time, there are many models to choose from.

What is the situation like at 4,000 meters? For the people of the earth, it is really impossible to form an effective concept. In fact, just the ship of the Boreas, known as the frigate, is about the size of the Empire State Building. Compared with ships that are dozens or even hundreds of times larger, and can sail in space, it is unimaginable for humans to still live on the ground.

"This kind of slow ship is simply the best prey for pirates." Lu Lu calmly looked at the huge and bulky spaceship beside him. "However, with so much cargo, it should be a matter of course to configure a convoy fleet."

"Of course, the price of such a transport ship alone is as high as 300 million ISK." In order to protect ships worth much more than 300 million, it is worth hiring even a full fleet of cruisers.

Lu Lu was the same as in the past, or rather, like sitting in front of the computer more than ten days ago, and every time he wandered outside the station, he estimated the value and strength of each outbound pilot.

Sure enough, just a few seconds later, the Boreas left the Freespace Station entirely. Lu Lu soon saw on the big screen a huge fleet lined up in a protective formation.

The powerful scanning system on the North Wind immediately listed the overall composition of the other party.

"There are as many as ten cruisers and a hundred frigates. Tsk, that's a huge fleet. Lu Lu, who sighed like this, did not hesitate at all, and increased the speed of the North Wind to the cruising speed.

As the opposing computer frantically sounded the collision alarm, the North Wind swept lightly over the giant ship.

"What bastard would dare to play such a joke with our Tempest Fleet?" On the public channel, the captain of the opposing ship shouted angrily. No matter what kind of battleship it is, the thruster vent in the tail is always a vital part of the weak armor. With the 100,000-ton mass of the frigate, it was enough for the cruiser to return to the shipyard for overhaul. Subsequently, the captain saw some information about this "frigate" in the voyage record.

"Kill three ships, including One-Eye, a good boy, the North Wind." The captain cautiously marked the North Wind with a key focus on the computer.

"Let's go, our goal is the sea of stars."

will shout like this, of course, it is the Lu Lu who sometimes goes off the line.
