Chapter 21: There are not many good days

There were no special tasks and emergencies, and Pan Wenhua spent two days in the exchange center to recruit some crew members for the trainees, a total of 70 people in the batch, mainly old and good people.

Although the good people are kind enough, they can't actually give more help to the students in the process of training. To put it simply, personality determines ability, and good people may involve a wider range of knowledge, but they cannot be compared with people with paranoid personalities in a single project. Pan Wen chose this type of crew to fill the vacancies of the trainees, mainly because they would not impose subjective opinions on others, which would help the trainees regain their former sense of community.

After obtaining an elite or even higher level license, whether it is a pure NPC or a dormant replacement, the personal will should be considered to be fully liberated, and its impact on the future development direction of the students will even gradually overshadow the shackles of memory over time.

For more than half a year, the cadets spent a lot of time with normal crew members, and perhaps some of them had almost forgotten who they were. With the emancipation of will, it cannot be expected that all students will be grateful, and it cannot be ruled out that there will be some students who reject their existing status, so there will be defections, rebellions and other situations that have to be guarded against.

One of the ways to deal with this is to arrange for trainees to work on independent ships, and reducing exposure to the subjective views of normal groups will naturally reduce the likelihood of uncontrollable situations. After some time, the trainees have adapted to their status as direct crew members, and no matter how much changes occur, there is no possibility of a large spread. To complement this group, the Good Guy crew is undoubtedly the best of the hireable types.

Although the experience of the trainees is a special group, Pan Wen will not expect that the self-fending stocking can eliminate too many hidden dangers, and some other training aids will not be explained for the time being, at this stage, the psychological counselor who has more than ten new crew members for the trainees is one of them.

This group of psychological counselors will work part-time in addition to psychotherapy to do a little basic teaching work, mainly to instill a complete professional ethics system and combat emergency post response and other matters to the trainees, because the therapists themselves have more good people in their resumes, the information obtained by the students will have a subjective bias towards loyalty, with their status as rescued slaves, they themselves have been taught that defection is equal to death, maybe there will be no other problems after that.

According to Pan Wen's plan, the trainees' further study, training, and follow-up observation will continue for at least one year, and when the combat quality, loyalty, and mental stability have reached a certain level, he will change the fleet formation, and the slave cadets and himself will form the flagship members, and for the time being, they can only be counted as a novice ship formation.

During the eight days of Segeis's stay, Pan Vin also received good news about D21 brought by the liaison ship - Scardragon's shipyard was finally able to build frigates!

With the ability to manufacture frigates, and the fact that D21 itself is a mineral star, it has more resource advantages than any type of interstellar base and artificial colony, marking the beginning of a qualitative change in D21's defense capability.

It seems that the D21 development team and Scardragon are just in a cooperative relationship, and it costs the same amount of money to buy a ship, but the shipyard is in a protected position, and every time a ship is sold, it has to pay taxes, and then a little discount, which translates to an average of four frigates per outsider, D21 can get the purchasing power of a frigate. In fact, as a supplier of raw materials, the D21, including the part of raw materials, the cost is much lower than the previous calculation, but there are many aspects involved in finance, and it is impossible to use all of them for armament, and it is impossible to collect enough professional crews for a while.

With the shipyard's manufacturing capacity breaking through the threshold, as long as there are no major problems in a few months, D21, an industry that has also cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, is finally about to enter a period of rapid development. It's a bit of a pity that the existing manufacturing industry chain can't support the manufacture of ships that are too sophisticated, somewhat similar to the situation of Segeis's specialized copycat ships, and by Pan Wen's standards, his own fleet can't replenish warships from the D21 at a low price for the time being.

The big stone developed by D21 is finally about to land, and Pan Wen is more or less relieved, if the shareholders can be content with the existing equity ratio to maintain it, he will be able to devote all his energy to the cause of paging players and bugs.

After leaving the port, the fleet did not go directly to the 404 branch of MR243 to pick up the ship, but went directly to MR241 to get some pocket money.

Due to the weak relationship between firepower and armament, the price of the aircraft-carrying dock ship is low in the same class of warships, and the purchase of 00986D this time includes the installation of the second main engine and the attached work, guard robots, and the price is only 48,000 star coins. Aside from a series of expenses such as annual salary, cadet exams, restocking extra energy, and replenishing crew during this period of time, in fact, Pan Wen still has nearly 10,000 star coins at hand, not counting the spoils he obtained from the resistance front against the blue country before returning from this trip.

There were nearly 10,000 star coins, which was enough for him to speed up the construction of ships through the channels of the Black House, but he didn't do it.

The branches of the major factories in MR243 cannot be compared with the Sakura Port branch that made the gold number at the beginning, because the small countries of MR243 often create tensions, and no one can guarantee that in the event of a conflict, no one will take advantage of the fire to rob the shipyard, but the Florin Republic is a country that has not been invaded for more than two hundred years, and there is a stable environment. So even if the much larger Gold was built in only 10 days at Sakura Port, it doesn't mean that the MR243 shipyard has the same manufacturing capacity.

The cooperation between the 404 shipyard and the Florin Republic is done through their partnership with Titan Heavy Industries, which has no branch in MR247 and the largest factory in the Islamic Empire, and the actual scale of the manufacturing site available to Pan Wen is almost the same.

When ordering 00986D, Blackhouse provided an acceleration option, and the fastest gear would take 12 days, explaining that the shipyard there did not have the large maintenance equipment needed for large dockyard ships. Think about it, large dock ships of non-carrying models are generally about 30,000 star coins, which exceeds the quotation of the lightest cruiser, and private armed forces will basically not consider it, and the hoarding of equipment in the shipyard is just a self-cutting capital chain.

Because of these reasons, Pan Wen simply gave up the acceleration and saved thousands of star coins, and the construction period would be delayed to 20 days, so he would inevitably choose to pay for such a long time gap.

Just as Panvin's fleet exits the Sea of Death Particle Storm Zone and enters the pre-jump acceleration phase, his whereabouts are betrayed by a player on another pirate ship.

"Black Fleet 1 is leaving port and is heading to the mines." A male voice sounded in a chat room on the forum with a little excitement.

One of the two seated nodded, took out a card from his jacket pocket, swept it on his wrist, and said, "Good work, this is a hundred star coins." ”

There is no monetary entity in the forum, but it is possible to make unilateral payments in the form of strings of payments to circumvent certain restrictions.

After getting the card, the guy who reported the situation grabbed a small machine from the waistband of his pants and scanned the card, and the little excitement turned into a smile. However, he did not leave immediately, and spoke again: "In addition to the Black Fleet 1, I have friends who have observed that the Black Fleet 3 is preparing to sail. ”

The person who paid just now also gave him a smile, and there was a dimple on the left side of his face: "Then please keep an eye on it, the same price." ”

"Okay! You wait for my good news. ”

Waiting for the messenger to leave, the person who had not spoken before spoke: "Do you want to go to the buyer?" ”

"Wait two hours and then spread the information for free."

"Free?"

"It's free, or who knows about us?" The man laughed again, revealing the dimple on the left side of his face.

Things have to start with the pirate player he met when he was temporarily consigned to the loot of the MR241 mobile star-base before he went to the Blue Country, and the "Huzi" who served as the first mate of a certain fleet flagship, although Huzi couldn't get a glimpse of Pan Wen's true face, he was the first player to know about the expansion of Pan Wen's fleet! Of course, as far as Pan Wen is concerned, it's just the return of ships such as the Fat Dun.

Pan Wen became a thorn in the side of the Imperial players after MR241 caused trouble and plucked the Empire, and the news of the expansion of his fleet became known to those who knew about the location of the dockyard of the Golden Shipyard.

As the first group of pirate players joined Segeis for more time, and while Level 3 membership was still rare, the expansion of personal relationships allowed more people to move around the harbor, such as renting a tourist dinghy to get around Segeis. This behavior is not entirely aimed at the Pan Wen family, there are also some other bosses who like to run around and cause trouble to the player, and Pan Wen is only the one that causes the most damage to the player.

Because pirate players use the player's special channel to sell their own family news without care, and unlike long-distance reconnaissance, tourist ships in the harbor can be observed at a distance of tens of kilometers, and something of the size of the Golden can be vaguely seen through the navigation lights at a distance of dozens of kilometers, needless to say that pirate players are interested in obtaining information. Fortunately, pirate players are not eligible to access port records, Panvin's fleet is not docked together, and Segeis's ship traffic is large, so it will take many observations to confirm the ownership of the fleet without independent sailing rights.

But even so, after the big boss received attention, what tonnage and what type of ships were added to the fleet were looked at between the two entrances and exits.

The one-sided information that was originally just a word of the tiger was confirmed, and players naturally had to further increase their vigilance, and some organizations that needed to operate near the MR241 Segeis corresponding jump circle either asked their own people to be more cautious, or took the initiative to expand the size of the formation.

It was in this situation that someone saw a business opportunity - buying and selling BOSS intelligence.

The intelligence merchant seized the opportunity, and at this time, it was the time when the pirate players gradually had a certain status, although they would not be able to track independently, but it was not difficult to observe the movement of the boss in and out of the port by the way when the various employer fleets were moving. What they have to do is to string together the various information that the players have come into contact with the bosses in battle, and turn the bosses out of Segeis.

Not to mention the new tipsters among the players, Pan Wen's fleet clearly sensed the depression in the jump circle after reaching MR241.

Compared with the scene of everyone squeezing into a bunch of mining in the jumping circle before and after the riot incident a few months ago, now that the identification signal is issued, there are few cats and dogs to respond, and there are no two or three shrimp on the radar.

There is a mobile star base, if there is an emergency, there must be news on the side of Segeis, so today's depression is not caused by the time of the group, it should be that the danger of mining is not proportional to the benefits, so that more and more pirates are beginning to avoid entering MR241, just like Pan Wen himself is not willing to look for food under the nose of the increasingly powerful mercenary fleet if it is not for the desire to master the level of the player's armament.

Until the fleet reached the edge of the corresponding jump circle of Segeis, there were only 210 ships that responded with identification and did not respond, but were caught by radar, and of the more than 200 ships, most of them were armed merchant ships that could only wait to die in large-scale operations, and many of the remaining parts were patrol ships.

Seeing the statistics, Pan Wen frowned and sighed, it seemed that Segeis was not far off from being kicked out of MR241. With the current situation, in addition to its own escort fleet, the mobile star-based side in the event of an emergency, whether the combat power that can be requisitioned from the jump circle can complete the assembly action is a question mark, and what else will be said in the later battle.

The only thing that can be expected is that with the special status of MR241 Star Crystal Mining Area in human society, other forces will not and cannot watch Segois completely disappear from MR241, which means that they themselves will also be kicked out, so they can more or less turn around for some time. Regardless, when the mobile base suffered, Segeis was only a supply point, not a safe stronghold.
