All of a sudden, the trade caravan business of the Ming Empire was really opened, but the caravan of large warships like cruisers was not sold anymore, after all, there were not many warships like cruisers in the entire trade fleet, and the trade ships themselves also needed these cruisers to protect their safety.

However, after the construction of the stronghold is completed, this will not be a problem, because at that time, the battleships will be produced in the stronghold, but even if the battleships are sold, Zhu Lei and the others do not plan to sell the full version of the battleships, but like the two battleships sold before, there is no warp engine and other important equipment in it.

All the civilizations in the vicinity of the trading ship of the Ming Empire began to rush over with their own goods.

Because the high-level of all civilizations know very well that the Ming Empire only has one trading ship here, even if the trading merchant ships of the Ming Empire are huge, the volume of the spaceship is also limited, so the cargo in the spaceship is also limited, of course, except for technology, but technology, etc., the Ming Empire is impossible to sell without restrictions for more benefits.

So if you go slowly, the goods of the Ming Empire are sold out, or the good things have already been sold, then these civilizations will be in trouble.

This is not to say, after all, everyone has bought the powerful weapons of the Ming Empire, but they have not bought them, so the civilizations that buy powerful weapons nearby will definitely hit the attention of their civilizations, after all, who told them that they do not have weapons of fifth-level civilizations! Or who told them to slow down, after all, no matter which civilization buys the weapons of the Ming Empire, then these civilizations must have paid a huge price, and they will definitely find a way to get them back from other civilizations, and the target must be those civilizations that do not have fifth-level civilization weapons.

And as time goes by, there will definitely be fewer and fewer powerful weapons in the back weapons, and after some of the Ming Empire acquires more goods, the price will definitely get lower and lower, and it may even not be acquired.

Business is booming here, and Zhu Lei and them are similar, but the difference is that Zhu Lei and they are in the territory of the Swan civilization, so the civilizations that come to buy goods are all friendly with the Swan civilization, or allies of the Swan civilization, while other civilizations are more troublesome if they want to buy.

However, because Zhu Lei is doing business in the Swan Civilization, the strength of the Swan Civilization has improved a lot, after all, this time the Swan Civilization has purchased a lot of weapons from the Ming Empire, and even the basic technology and so on have been purchased a lot, in addition, the Swan Civilization has also purchased a cultivation method of the Cosmic Force from Zhu Lei.

However, this trade with the Ming Empire has also wiped out the entire Swan civilization, and even the family background of befriending them and their allies is almost the same, after all, these civilizations are not **** civilizations, and the cohesion and the True God Empire cannot be compared at all, and it is impossible to pour all the power of civilization to buy the goods of the Ming Empire.

And Zhu Lei and their swan civilization here in addition to weapons and industrial products, other goods also sell very well, such as the Ming Empire's tea, porcelain, silk, etc., after all, they are doing business in the territory of the swan civilization, and the swan civilization is one of the most powerful Bayi civilizations in the ocean of light, the swan civilization naturally has a lot of rich people, and even some people can be described as rich and rival countries, no worse than the purchasing power of some fourth-level civilizations, It's just that the goods these people buy are different from those that the government officially buys.

However, just as Zhu Lei and the others finished their trade from the Swan civilization and returned to the Ming Empire's stronghold in the Sea of Light, the alarm in the spaceship suddenly sounded, because the area where Zhu Lei and the others were now was a dense area of perseverance, and there were a lot of meteorites around, which was not suitable for starting the warp engine for warp navigation.

So they rented it and wanted to wait until the spaceship flew out of the area before flying back to the base at warp speed.

"Report to the prince, a large number of space flying objects have been found about 0.4 light years ahead of us, according to computer calculations, these space flying objects are not natural meteorites or asteroids, these are all man-made flying vehicles, and now they say that the direction of flight is coming towards us, I think they must want to be against us." Just as the alarm sounded, the radar soldiers in the spacecraft reported to Zhu Lei.

Because there are many meteorites and asteroids in this area, the other party is ambushed here, and the Ming Empire's radar did not detect their existence, and only when Zhu Lei and they reached a certain area did they start their engines and fly towards the Ming Empire's spaceship.

Fortunately, because the Ming Empire's spaceships were not flying towards them in a straight line, otherwise, if the Ming Empire flew towards them in a straight line, then these would not have started their engines at all and rushed towards Zhu Lei and them.

"Release the individual fighter to prepare for battle, the Winter Ship activates the red alert, and all ship operators return to their posts to prepare for battle."

With Zhu Lei's order, many spaceships were released from the two mothership-level spaceships, and the number of space battleships was as many as 24.

In fact, Zhu Lei had already raised his vigilance when their fleet returned, because he knew that their return would definitely not be so smooth, after all, in addition to all kinds of precious ores, rare minerals, etc., there were also various treasures purchased from major civilizations in their spaceships, how could such a huge wealth not cause other people's eyes.

What's more, in their opinion, the fleet of the Ming Empire only has two spaceships, although these two spaceships seem to be extremely large, but everyone knows that there are more ants and elephants, so they gathered tens of thousands of spaceships on the road to wait for the arrival of these two giant ships of the Ming Empire.

However, in fact, they really waited for the spaceship of the Ming Empire, but in fact, although the Ming Empire only has two spaceships, the combat effectiveness of these two spaceships is not as fragile as they imagined, not to mention that there are a large number of sub-ships in the two spaceships, and even among these spaceships, there are space cruisers and space battleships that cannot be made by the entire Ocean of Light.

In fact, the fleet that ambushed Zhu Lei and his two spaceships this time belongs to the overlord of the civilization of light, the light and dark civilization, and some civilizations that are friendly with the light and dark civilization, after all, the Ming Empire trades in the ocean of light, and the civilization of light will definitely know, after all, as the overlord of the ocean of light, their civilization must have its own eyeline in the various civilizations of the entire ocean of light.

In particular, some of the more powerful civilizations in the Ocean of Light, such as the Swan civilization, are the objects of their attention.

Therefore, this transaction between the Ming Empire and the Swan Clan and their allies must not be able to hide the light and dark civilization, and neither Zhu Lei nor the Swan Civilization wants to hide from each other, after all, it is not only the Swan Civilization that trades with the Ming Empire, but also many nearby fourth-level civilizations and trade with the Ming Empire in this transaction.
