Zhang Weihua took his own space fleet to shuttle through the starry sky at a rapid pace, and nearly 200 years have passed since the Ming Empire stepped onto the galactic stage.

In the past 200 years, the Ming Empire has developed steadily, and has established equal diplomatic relations with most of the fifth-level or above civilizations in the galaxy, and even the subsidiary civilizations of the Ming Empire are no longer so few, in the past 200 years, the Ming Empire has received more than ten subsidiary civilizations, of course, these civilizations are found in the Milky Way Orion spiral arm, as a civilization in the barren star field of the Milky Way, it can develop civilization to the level of a fourth-level civilization alone, Then it can be said that the potential of these civilizations is relatively high.

After all, in the barren star field of the Milky Way, the distance between various civilizations is very far, and some of the two civilizations are separated by hundreds of light years, and there is no civilization that can provide them with development ideas, and under such conditions, it can develop to a fourth-level civilization, which is incomparable to most civilizations in the galaxy.

In the past 200 years, the Qinglong Star Domain of the Ming Empire has become one of the most prosperous star fields of the Ming Empire, although there are not many mines such as resources here, but it has become one of the busiest ports in the third spiral arm of the galaxy.

Every year, countless cosmic trade merchants from other civilizations come here to trade with the Ming Empire, bringing huge wealth and a lot of various precious resources to the Ming Empire every year.

In the past 200 years, the Ming Empire has also appeared countless cosmic trade merchants, these local trade merchants of the Ming Empire, there are individuals and major families of the Ming Empire, and even the state-owned cosmic trade caravans controlled by the official government of the Ming Empire, and even for the cosmic trade industry, the government of the Ming Empire is also very advocated, and engaging in cosmic trade can bring very huge resources and wealth to the Ming Empire.

Like many cosmic trade merchants, Zhang Weihua is also one of them, but unlike most cosmic trade merchants, Zhang Weihua is a lone ranger and has not joined any cosmic trade group companies, or any cosmic trade merchant gangs or organizations.

Although cosmic trade is a very dangerous thing, and the slightest carelessness can lead to a place of no return, in the past 200 years or so, many cosmic merchants have disappeared for various reasons.

But because the Ming Empire is now more and more well-known in the galaxy, as a fifth-level civilization cosmic trade merchant, no civilization dares to provoke under normal circumstances, after all, they are behind the powerful Ming Empire.

What's more, the cosmic merchants of the Ming Empire generally travel in groups, and most of the spaceships are modified armed merchant ships, and even some caravans have their own escort fleets.

However, Zhang Weihua, as a lone ranger among the cosmic trade merchants, is obviously not as good as the cosmic trade group or the cosmic trading company established by the major families of the Ming Empire, but in the past nearly 200 years, he has also accumulated a lot of family foundation, and some time ago he successfully got the eighth spaceship he ordered.

Different from the space merchant ships he bought before, the one he bought now is a real space battleship, and his previous spaceships were all civilian merchant ships, although these spaceships have been modified and equipped with huge armor and powerful weapons, but compared with the real space warships, the gap is still very huge.

You must know that a space merchant ship is a space merchant ship after all, and the main purpose of a merchant ship is to transport goods, and it is designed to transport goods, whether it is the structure of the spaceship or the power and strength of the spacecraft, it is far inferior to the real pure military spaceship.

And the real space battleship not only has heavy armor, a powerful protective shield, but also a powerful attack ability, as well as countless artillery pieces and various small aircraft.

Zhang Weihua The reason why he bought this space battleship was because the Ming Empire issued a yellow alert a year ago, because on the communication arteries leading to the major civilizations in the galaxy from the Ming Empire, several cosmic caravans have been attacked by space pirates in recent times, and there are other civilizations and the Ming Empire's own cosmic trade caravans.

There are even other civilizations that have disappeared into the universe en masse after being attacked, and it is clear that everyone knows what happened to them.

Although the Ming Empire has not found any signs of casualties so far, the loss of materials is very large every time it is attacked.

After all, the spaceships of the Ming Empire are not comparable to the spaceships of other civilizations, not to mention the people who are engaged in the trade of the universe in the Ming Empire, their cultivation has basically reached the Yuan Infant Stage and above, and they all have their own means of secrecy, but even if this is the case, the entire Qinglong Port of the Ming Empire is panicked.

As a result, the government of the Ming Empire issued a yellow warning signal, and suggested that all people or teams engaged in the cause of space trade should strengthen each other's strength, and it is best to have pure space warships instead of armed merchant ships.

In line with the attitude of being responsible for himself, Zhang Weihua ordered a new generation of space battle cruisers from the Yongan Group in the Qinglong Star Domain two months ago.

After all, as a cosmic merchant who has been active in Qinglong Port and other civilizations in the universe all the year round, Zhang Weimin knows everything about those who have been robbed and those who have been businessmen, and every cosmic merchant who has been robbed has suffered very heavy losses, and some have even lost all their money, but fortunately, the system of the Ming Empire is now in place, even if all the goods are robbed, the government of the Ming Empire will still give a certain amount of compensation according to the proportion of the goods.

But this is far from being comparable to the price of the goods themselves, after all, the compensation given by the government can often only allow you to buy a new spaceship, and the rest can only be borne by yourself, after all, the government has done its duty.

Therefore, due to being robbed by pirates, many of the cosmic trade merchants of the Ming Empire once returned to before liberation, and their years of hard work came to naught.

In order not to let this kind of thing happen to him, Zhang Weihua spent half of his net worth to buy this super battlecruiser.

Of course, a battle cruiser like this, if it is a person from other civilizations, the government of the Ming Empire does not allow them to buy it, even if it is the Ming Empire's own nationals, they can only buy it with identity information, after all, the new generation of super battle cruisers, even in the galaxy, is a relatively powerful space battleship, and even the capital ships of many fifth-level civilizations are not comparable.
