Chapter 138: Test the waters in a different place

Pan Wen asked Captain Ma Ming to take the Hammer back to rest and give him a modification plan for the internal structure and arrangement.

The two remaining ships in the fleet passed by MR243, picked up some recent news and other information, and diverted to the KT Cluster.

The first stop is KT11.

KT11, as the only jump node of the KT cluster and the MR cluster, is somewhat similar to MR243, and has also developed into a number of small forces to mix in a star system, and thus become a major interstellar commodity trade in the KT cluster. The difference is that the natural environment of KT11 is much worse than that of MR243, the star is still a protostar, it has not been reassembled after the explosion, there are no planets and asteroids in the bare galaxy, everything here is man-made.

The man-made areas of KT11 are all spheres or rollers with a diameter of several kilometers, and some will be combined to form a large complete living area, of which the large combination can accommodate millions of people, and the capacity index of a single resident is almost one-third of that of Segeis.

One feature that must be mentioned is that the largest commodities sold to KT11 today are not high-grade engineering and combat machinery, nor are they rare and high-tech materials, but water and soil. In KT11, where there are no natural celestial bodies, the negligible loss of water and soil becomes very apparent, and it is a local commodity that needs to be purchased in unlimited quantities.

This situation can be compared with Segeis, which is modified by an asteroid and is very dependent on external materials, which can represent the typical situation of human space logistics today. But even in Segeis, the water and soil are not purchased from the outside, the source of water is mainly the peripheral ice core of MR242, and the soil is the collection of asteroid rocks supplemented by some metal elements, and the evolution of rocks to soil is completed by biotechnology.

Water and soil, water is less profitable in KT11, and soil is profitable, but it is not so easy to get some soil to sell in KT11. Because of the troublesome acquisition process, the soil in areas like Segeis is not for sale or can only be purchased in small quantities, and the sources of sale only include non-high-temperature planets in several galaxies around MR243 and KT11 that can be jumped to at one time.

KT11 also belongs to the neutral zone protected by international relations, and large warships like the Gold are not allowed to come close to residential areas within a million kilometers, but since they came, Pan Van could not pass by in vain.

When the gold was first purchased, Titan Heavy Industries gave three or four thousand tons of basic circulation, and bought an additional 10,000 tons of water at a price of 0.3 star coins per ton in Sakura Harbor by taking advantage of its geographical advantages, and later the seven-seven-eighty-eight Saigois subsidy also had more than 1,000 tons. On larger ships with more insulation, the recycling consumption is actually less than 1%, and there are still tens of thousands of tons of water.

After obtaining permission for remote contact outside the restricted distance, Ensign 1 acted as a sales vessel, making two round-trips, selling 6,000 tons of water for 1.2 stars per tonne. Water has to be bought sooner or later, and at the price of water purchased at the port of Segeis, you can earn 1200 Star Coins, which is not much, but compared to mining, the efficiency is still good.

Of course, KT11's water sales business, like Pan Wen, a pirate who relies on Segeis for supplies, is limited by the efficiency of ice core recovery and purification, so he can only do it occasionally, and the amount is not too large, otherwise he may be punished by material purchase restrictions. If we wait until the development of D21 reaches a certain level, there is a low-cost enough capacity to transport the atmosphere to and from the atmosphere, and there is enough additional transportation capacity, and the long-term business of selling water can be considered, and maybe it will be the most important source of financing for D21 in the future.

Taking advantage of the time of pumping and trading, Pan Wen continued to make up for the news of the previous days.

The result is not surprising, MR241 a few days ago, after the clash of MR241 a few days ago, Pan Wen and other ships that temporarily gathered withdrew, the Islamic Empire finally softened due to the pressure from all sides. The Empire did not issue a public apology, but issued a new MR241 Star Crystal Mining Specification, which strictly limited the total number of MR241 mercenary ships at any one time.

After all, Segeis is just a pirate force, even if the incident has the support of the Gabri Federation and more small countries that are worried about the looting of the jump circle, it is not good to really tear up the face of the Isis Empire, and after the new regulations of the empire were introduced, the blockade was unilaterally lifted after the announcement of the Gabri Federation.

When the blockade was lifted, the media's attention was diverted, focusing on the mobile satellite base that led the team in the incident.

However, this matter is a war of words, because the interests in the previous jump circle were threatened, Segeis has already notified all parties when building the star base, but it is just a secret Chen Cang, and the concept of the permanent star base and the mobile star base has been stolen. If you don't run around with the mobile star base, there is nothing wrong with calling it a permanent star base, and this operation is also too much for the Imperial mercenaries, so they have to take action. The opposition side seized on the sore feet of the mobile star-based club running around and threatening the interests of other people's families, and carried out various verbal attacks. It's a pirate here, and I've long been used to being scolded for a few words, and I'm supposed to listen to bad music, as long as outsiders don't really have evidence of being actively attacked by the mobile star base, it is impossible to develop to the extent of taking actual action.

It is interesting to note that the new Empire regulations only control the total number of mercenary ships operating in MR241, but there is no limit on the total tonnage. On the surface, the Imperial mercenaries will be at a temporary disadvantage over the federal mercenaries in MR241, but in fact, it will stimulate them to bypass the "small ship open method" to obtain ships that are not restricted, and the situation will be the same as before for a month or two at most, and even more harmful.

Pan Wen can't affect the big thing, he can only see that he has a psychological expectation, according to the current conditions, within a few months, the star crystal production of Segeis in the MR241 jump circle will actually shrink, once the empire and the mercenaries of the Federation reach any secret agreement, I am afraid that it will be the turn of the sea of death where Segeis is located.

D21 is still facing the challenge of the E7 Strange Swarm, and I hope that there will be some progress before the Sea of Death goes wrong, otherwise it will be really troublesome later.

After reading some news and reviews and stuff, the water delivery is complete, the fuel cost jumps a bit, and it's time to head to the real destination.

KT11 and MR243 can be seen as the pyramid-shaped tops of the edges of the two star clusters, KT11 is 9, 10, 12 in the first layer, and 8, 13, 14, 16 in the second layer, and the seven star fields can be jumped to at one time, among which in addition to KT14 is the second production area of star crystal mentioned earlier, KT7, 8, and 16 are all special areas without owner.

KT16 is the same as KT11, a very young star field, there is nothing but stars, but the star of KT16 is already in the stage of red giant, and it is said that after the expiration date of this star, it may become the second KT14.

KT7 and 8 have a special status, because they are a blockade line for a certain dangerous country.

The name of this country is the love sanctuary nurtured by the blue sea.

…… Again, the country's full registered name in the Star Alliance is: The Holy Land of Love Nurtured by the Blue Sea!

It is inevitable that the strange species with such a "fresh and refined" country name will be different, and in the entire human domination area, there is only one Florin Republic that can be slightly comparable to the Blue Country, but even the Florin Republic is more acceptable than the Blue Country in the entire human society.

The Blue Country is a completely homosexual country, where heterosexuality belongs to the infidels and will die if they find out! But most of its citizens have no access to heterosexuality, which is a legendary emotion in them, because the male and female settlements in the Blue Country are separated by a few light years at most! It is also the only country in human society that relies 100% on genetic technology to reproduce offspring.

This country is of a very extreme type, bent on homogenizing the whole of humanity (Chi?). This desire turned into action, so that the surrounding countries had to remind themselves of the cruelty of the ancient wars of religion and unite to exclude their existence. KT7 and KT8 are the most intense fronts in the human domination zone of the KT Star Cluster.

Pan Wen was recently reminded by the bank's account manager, and after learning more about the situation of the KT system, he realized that the blue country may also have player power.

According to the data of the current policies and statistical organizations of various countries, the number of like-minded people in the Gabri Federation is on average: 4% are inclined and less than 2% are actually acting; The Islamic Empire is more strict, and the proportion of the population of the same people is also half of that of the Federation. Since Pan Wen took over this shell, he has not found any major incidents launched by the ** good people organization. But if you think about it carefully, in the last era, there were indeed a group of player organizations who acted like religious elements, either out of their own intentions or following the crowd, they completely disagreed with the status quo of "everyone lives together", and wanted to make a big name come out, and when the development was approaching the "end of the era", there were already many player organizations that publicly announced that they would keep their distance from them and refuse all forms of cooperation.

Because the player organization is becoming more and more extreme, the number of players has not developed significantly, and it may not even be 0.5% of the total players. But since it is a player organization, it is not so easy to disappear, and there will definitely be a place to go after the renewal of the era, and the blue country is undoubtedly a good place, and the strategy implemented is very appealing to their appetite, and it may even be customized for this group of guys in the era of the big galaxy.

Pan Wen came here this time, it is to go to the front line to explore the reality, the players on the MR241 side are getting more and more powerful, this side is more lonely, it looks like it will be easy to bully, even with the help of the NPC fleet, Pan Wen is confident that they can't react to a few raids.

This time I arrived in the K8 star field, compared to K7, you can jump directly to the blue country of K8, only K6 is a galaxy, the intensity of the battle is slightly lower, suitable for new resistance personnel to be familiar with the situation.

Due to the over-reliance on genetic technology, the blue countries also have some exclusive technologies, and they may even use genetic weapons to change people's orientation when boarding ships, and all parties have to customize a set of local norms on the battle line, so as not to turn the newly involved troops into enemy personnel. Shortly after the arrival of the newcomers Gold and Ensign 1 in K8, they received a non-stop document through the PAS providing the location of the Resistance forces and the standard communication channels of the Resistance forces, which were mainly used to assist battle-damaged units with temporary repairs or to provide relief such as evacuation.

Approaching the assembly area, using the channel provided by the document to send identification information to the perimeter, it didn't take long for ships to take the initiative to contact.

"Pirate, tell me what you mean." The guy who painted the face covered his face, I don't know if it was a national characteristic or he didn't want to be recognized.

"I don't have any money to spend, and I want to find a few ships from the blue country to make a vote." The identification message will directly let the other party know that his fleet is from Segeis, and Pan Wen will answer in a pirate tone by the way.

“…… You are very bold, but the people who can come against them are our friends, and I hope you will sign a declaration before entering the danger zone. The masked guy said, sending another document.

The document has a very small number of words, and it can be read in a few seconds, and it is a very simple statement, the main meaning is to promise not to take the initiative to use force against non-blue forces. Not being able to take the initiative to use force may create additional dangers, but controlling the distance should not be a big problem, Pan Wen happily pressed his fingerprint on the document template and signed. There is no pupil pattern, and that thing can only be given by the contract filed with the bank, which will involve the safety of funds.

The proclamation was signed, and the pirate fleet was transformed into a temporary member of the Resistance to Forced Popularity.
