Chapter 113: The Situation in the Hunting Ground Deteriorates
A few days later, the Gold reported with Ensign No. 1 Slalom Segeis, and by the way, obtained the updated MR241 satellite-based position access algorithm.
"Dorotai, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, and if you are ready, you can always go to the financial representatives."
As Panvin's words fell, Dorotai held out his hand and the two shook hands.
"I think I'll find a woman to settle down and study by the sea, and maybe I'll be a captain in the future."
"Then you're busy."
Maintaining an amicable parting of ways is also a common experience for pirates on a contract basis.
Pan Wen is not very optimistic about Dorotai's situation with the captain's license, taking Ma Ming, the first elite-level captain's license in the fleet, as an example, his annual salary is only 200 star coins, which is only 50 times higher than Dorotai. If you get the Elite All-Expert Suit License, if you don't have such a combat frequency as bringing your own fleet in Panwen, it will be fast to complete it in one or two years. Of course, as a rare level NPC, the possibility of getting the rare license set is not small, so Pan Wen didn't feel that he should persuade him in front of him.
After settling Dorotai's salary and returning to the ship, as soon as he set sail, Vice Captain Nadezhda approached Pan Wen with the news of the crew's reaction.
"I heard that the Empire and the Federation have started fighting."
Following Nadezhda's reaction, he returned to the captain's room to turn on the projection, retrieved the news program from a few days ago, and watched it together.
Since transgalactic hyperspace communication facilities cannot be applied to non-orbiting objects, ships will synchronize a large amount of information as they approach various ports, such as TV programs missed during travel, which is usually mainly to meet the mental needs of the crew, but now it is convenient to access.
A week ago, a local battle broke out between the Imperial MR238 system and the Federation fleet, with more than 1,000 ships participating in the battle, and the Starbase at the Empire's front was heavily damaged.
The attack of the Federation completely angered the imperial officials - the imperial state was less restrained than the liberal system in the absence of technological inferiority and military force.
After the news of the local fighting was exposed by the media, the spokesman of the Islamic Empire publicly stated that the destruction of the MR237 satellite base was a completely civilian act, and the empire repeatedly reiterated that no official organization was involved in the assassination of the federal president. The Federation has not yet explained its sabotage agent actions against the Empire some time ago, and now it is retaliating against MR238 with the combined mercenary force of the regular fleet, which has greatly damaged the relationship between the two countries. The Empire will not sit idly by, and intends to launch a countermeasure plan in the near future, and reserves the right to retaliate by means of war.
Some time ago, the empire and the federation did not fight each other once or twice, but that was because the empire did not send a single soldier to throw the face of the federation, which is completely different from the current nature. In particular, in conjunction with the press conference, the Empire also released several video and call logs, all of which showed the presence of full-size guns in the double digits in the fleets involved in the attack.
The whole world knows that the two countries opened only a small ship market half a year ago, and with the management ability of a superpower, it is impossible for anyone to keep frigates in the country without being recorded. Therefore, as soon as the video and audio records came out, the Federation could not provide favorable evidence to completely clean up the suspicion except to flatly deny and accuse the empire of maliciously falsifying the video to confuse the public.
The media are all about the same, and when there is an incident that can be stirred, a bunch of experts immediately pop up to analyze the incident, and there is speculation about what countermeasures the empire will come up with.
Some say that the empire is still just a lip service as before, while others believe that a new all-out war could be unleashed.
Most of the various analyses are unreliable, but there is one point that Pan Wen thinks is quite feasible: the media continues to talk about it, and the border is strengthened at the same time, but the focus is on the MR241 star field, and some favorable measures for mercenaries are used to crowd out the interests of the Federation in MR241.
There is a great possibility of this, MR241 is the only star crystal mineral land in human society that still has large-scale mining value, but it is limited by the influence of the interstellar convention, the border environment of various countries, and the 241 nebula itself, so it is impossible to garrison troops to monopolize resources. Now that Segeis has been building a star base in MR241 for several months, no party wants to see Segeis dominate here, and the empire does not want to give the Federation a chance to take advantage of the situation by dealing with Segeis, so it is necessary to take this opportunity to expand its influence in MR241 and squeeze out the other party, and may even give more help to the "mercenaries" in terms of warships and resources.
His reasoning for agreeing with this was simpler, the Empire and the Federation players had developed into a "feud" after an epoch or even more, and it made perfect sense for the Empire to take advantage of it, and the problem was within the reach of the player base without them having to go head-to-head with hostile regular armies.
Pan Wen has nothing to consider, if he doesn't take advantage of the combat power advantage of the Golden Number at this time to muddy the water in MR241, will he wait for the players to arm themselves to the next level and then fight for attrition?
After nearly twenty hours of sailing, the Gold and Ensign 1 returned to MR241 to find the mobile base.
At this time, the star base has been formed as a whole and has entered the outfitting stage, and the port that receives the Golden has also been replaced by a simple giant platform spliced together by several large containers.
Seeing this situation, Pan Wen was a little worried that if the sales of the loot were returned to Segeis as they were, the efficiency would be at least half lower.
I consulted with the port steward, and the results he got put him at ease. The satellite-based will still need to purchase a large amount of equipment and materials for a period of time after the completion of the main body, and the factories in the satellite-based will need to use these equipment to build ships, and the members of Segeis in MR241 can continue to hunt with peace of mind.
In addition, after the completion of the satellite-based and its escort fleet, depending on the current situation of MR241, it may undertake shipbuilding orders, and at that time, selective recovery equipment and materials will be selected according to the order situation.
Before registering to enter the hunt, the port also issued a black information card, asking that he would not say anything, only that it was best not to let too many people see it.
Leaving the port, let the deputy captain Nadezhda look at the bridge control room, return to the captain's room by himself, and inform Doudou to do a good job of data structure protection and read the card.
"Hello, members of the Interstellar Trade Friendship Alliance. There is a small matter that needs to be informed to you, according to the decision of the joint meeting, from 22:30 on the 11th of this month, the territorial area of our Segeis MR241 star field will officially take effect, please actively clean up the foreign ships that have invaded the territorial area. At the same time, it is reminded that it will become dangerous to leave the consular district and enter certain areas in the coming period, so please act with caution. ”
When the recording is played, a holographic simulation of MR241 is displayed, with a moving star base as the center, and an area including the ecliptic plane below is stained green. Not far away, there is a large red area, according to Pan Wen's own impression, it is not only the corresponding jump circle of the Imperial MR239, it seems that the corresponding jump circle of the Federation MR237 and the large blank area between the two are packed in.
Obviously, if there is a certain party that is angry with Segeis, there will be a notice in front of you, and the Isis Empire, which is adjacent to the corresponding jump circle of Segeis, is naturally more suspicious, after all, the Gabri Federation must also be willing to see the pirates dragging the empire back, and the distance between the two sides is quite far from each other, and it is difficult to have a direct conflict.
Taking the card to the operation again, Pan Wen fell into deep thought.
The cards have already been distributed in the mobile star base, which means that the news should have been delivered before the gold left Segeis, and if this continues, the conclusion is that the Isis Empire may have made a decision to fight the Federation in MR241 before the press conference!
If the warning zone is really officially demarcated by the Islamic Empire, then the player has officially entered the faction war stage.
Faction warfare is very cruel in the eyes of NPCs living in the second world, and the enemies on both sides are players - the most ferocious and armed creatures in the second world, absolutely not escaping, and one side must die to start a war.
During the Faction Warfare phase, they will have to gather into larger, stronger, and more outrageous teams near the battlefield to fight the other side, and the process will also strengthen the understanding of the combined forces. Coupled with the prizes, resources, and the like provided by this faction for combat contributions, after a period of faction warfare, players do not need to use higher-stage ships at all, which is enough to raise their combat power to another level.
Although Pan Wen had long expected that he would come to this point, when their faction battle really began, he still felt quite a headache.
The superpowers that warships in the interstellar age can use only enhance the battleship, but do not help tactics at all, and are far less flexible than the individual abilities of previous eras, and the numerical advantage of the player base and the momentum of not being afraid of death will be easier to challenge than before.
It wasn't just that he had a headache, but he wasn't willing to watch them fight from the sidelines.
According to the experience of the last era, the player's return on money in Faction Battles will actually be lower than usual, but things that cannot be seen such as experience and honor will increase rapidly. Taking the honor of the Iss Empire as an example, it will directly lead to the player gaining higher authority, leaving the civilian status, and will get benefits other than money in all aspects, and it is not impossible to directly transfer to the regular army.
Outrageously, because players can "turn money", the high-end elements are even more money-saving, these guys are more motivated to camp warfare, and will gradually become the elite of the elite and ordinary players to distance themselves, when the gap is big enough, no boss dares to guarantee that he will not be hidden in the flock of sheep They are ruthless.
Hunting or finding an opportunity to trap a few groups of players has become a big problem for Pan Wen.
The faction battle zone is not as normal as MR241, and once the fight starts, I don't know how many demons and monsters will rush in, and unless all players are swept away, there will not be much chance to recover the loot. There is no loot to sell for money, so he has to pin all his hopes on the development of the D21 satellite of MR251, according to the progress there, the dividends that can reach half of the hunting income within a year are burned high incense, where can we talk about opening up the strength gap with the players.
