The two most important aspects of the "starship economy" are the bounty mission system and the mercenary ship group industry, which ensures that those captains who have powerful warships can convert combat power into economic value. The service of mercenary fleets provides a way for civilizations with economic power to obtain the necessary force.

In rudimentary civilizations, the mercenary's will to fight is inevitably questionable, and the most important reason is that for the mercenary, the battle they participate in after being paid has nothing to do with faith, but is just a business. At a critical moment, if you weigh your life and money on the scales, you may have a scene that the employer does not want to see - mercenaries can show great strength in ordinary or dominant battles, but they certainly cannot accept orders with a low probability of survival, such as stubborn defense, but in real battles, the persistence in victory is only a thin line, and the outcome of the battle can be worlds apart.

However, within the framework of the Gawain Society, the mercenary fleet does not raise such concerns at all. The members of the Gawain Society possess technologies that were unimaginable to the rudimentary civilizations, and with these techniques, the problem of mercenaries' will to fight has been completely solved.

Coupled with the thriving starship finance, many large commercial organizations have emerged in the mercenary ship industry, which are backed by Gawain and gradually formed a complete set of trading rules and systems in thousands of years, making the purchase and sale of military-level armed forces reliable.

For example, the well-known mercenary ship group - KLCII Armed Services Company, from the beginning of its construction, only recruited retired AI captains and worked hard to build its own electronic brain fleet, and now, it has achieved a lifeless fleet, for KLCII, the biggest cost of the business of mercenary fleet is only to repair and manufacture new ships, and there is no need to measure the value of life at all.

At the other end of the spectrum are the slave mercenary ships known as the Wild Dogs. The Wild Dog Ships buy slaves or death row prisoners in various civilizations, and provide these people whose fate has reached the end of their lives, a chance to turn around - as long as they serve the Wild Dogs for ten years, and can ensure that they can fight bravely and earn enough Battle Medal Points, they can become citizens of the universe as free people, and the wild dogs will even provide a large pension. For these people who have no way back, fighting bravely on the battlefield and moving forward is the only way out, so as a mercenary ship group, Wild Dog is widely praised for its high will to fight and the fact that it is more flexible and changeable than a pure artificial intelligence fleet.

Chen You's fancy-oriented mercenary ship group is neither a pure artificial intelligence Zhiyuan company, nor a wild dog that takes a wild path, but an "agent ship group" called Life Navigation Technology Company.

The Agent Ship Regiment, known as the "Nine Lives Regiment" in the industry, neither guarantees the will to fight through an unmanned fleet like the Zhiyuan Society, nor does it restrict the freedom of intelligent beings like wild dogs, and threatens them with an already tragic fate.

The captain and crew members recruited by the agent ship group are all normal former military personnel with no criminal record, using the technology of the life beacon technology company, to create an agent stand-in for the captain and the core crew members, the real body of these fighters is well protected in the life headquarters of the navigation company, and their brains are connected to their own stand-in through quantum technology, the feeling of thinking and acting of the stand-in is the same as the real body, even if the stand-in is killed in the war, only need to create a new organic prosthesis, For the agent ship group, the personnel, like the ship, can be directly replenished through economic contribution. It is precisely because life has a second chance that Nine Lives has become the most civilized fleet of mercenaries - the crews are not artificial intelligence, and can fight more flexibly and creatively, without fear of death.

Chen You took a fancy to this characteristic of the Nine Lives Regiment, and he himself didn't want to talk about business with Zhiyuan Gong's iron brain, or with wild dogs whose legitimacy was questionable.

Now the only question is "operational risk". For the mercenary ship group, if it participates in any battle for money, then the ship group cannot last long - the hired fee received cannot cover its own combat losses, it is a loss-making transaction. Therefore, the agent ship, like any mercenary group, will not participate in "defeated" battles and battles in which the risks clearly outweigh the benefits.

Therefore, Chen You was faced with a difficult problem, he had to openly and honestly explain that the military mission of the mercenary fleet was to fight against the evil fleet together with other fleets. But what mercenary group would be willing to take part in a battle against Unai's most dangerous fleet?

Tantu is the name of the planet.

Due to its location advantages and abundant resources, the original civilization of Tantu Star has built this planet into one of the commercial centers of the Association of Highly Developed Civilizations, and its economic activity is comparable to that of Desolate Star and Ten Thousand Worlds City.

Wanjie City is the center of the civilization and political circle of the Gawain Association, Arastar is the center of the entertainment industry in the world, and Tantu is the center of the "starship economy" in the Gawain universe.

Tantu Star has the largest starport and air port in the world, and the number of mercenary ship groups and captain's mission intermediary companies stationed here is also the largest.

In the starport of the smooth road, you can often see the famous ships and captains in Megatron, who either come here to receive bonus missions, or return triumphantly to cash out astronomical bonuses.

The vitality of the starship economy has reached its extreme here, and the all-powerful starship undertakes various types of tasks such as bodyguarding, transportation, attack, defense, and even deep space exploration, and a large amount of money and resources are pouring into this place in order to obtain the force and capabilities of the starship.

Genting City, also known as Genting Complex, is a three-dimensional starport + airport complex. A long time ago, Genting was just an ordinary port, and with the offices of various companies opening here for convenience, the original civilization of Tantu simply built many incredible supporting facilities for Genting Port, making Genting Port a super three-dimensional city with a composite port as the core, its scale is slightly smaller than Starstream City, but it also ranks sixth among the largest cities in the world.

Morningstar is a plasma creature born in the ruins of a computer, he has been born in this world for three years, he has long been accustomed to everything in Genting City, and now, he is dressed in the most appropriate purple swallow velvet formal prosthesis, his body has changed to the appearance of a primate, and only the blue-white flash of ionic sparks can be seen on his face.

He is a senior employee of the Life Beacon Company, and is in charge of the business of the company's most popular agent ship regiment. Today, he stood at the gate of the Agent Ship Regiment Headquarters in Genting City, waiting for the arrival of an important person.
