PS: I apologize again, and I would like to report to you, due to personal finances and personal matters, I can now squeeze out an average of one or two hours a day to write, and I personally write very slowly, and I really can't get a little bit last night, so I can only delay it for one more day. It's better not to have expectations for updates or anything, but it's always being written.

The following text:

The situation in MR241 was somewhat unexpected, and the fleet from Segeis seemed to be concentrated in the jump circle, several times denser than before. At the current density, the average amount of star crystals that can be mined at each collection point may be reduced to less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

The matter was answered when I went to move the star base to report, and it turned out that those guys finally couldn't help it.

The mercenary fighting between the Empire and the Federation in MR241 tends to ease, but this is not a good thing for other forces in MR241 to pan for gold, more and more mercenaries are targeting other surrounding forces, and other interest groups in the country that have temporarily avoided local wars have re-entered, and there is a great intention to wash the ground. In this situation, the pirates of Segeis had to retreat into the jump circle, relying on the collective to gain self-protection ability, and the fleet in the jump zone was also decreasing in the past two days, and many fleets flashed directly after digging up minerals that were almost enough for the return trip.

The level of danger has increased significantly, but Pan Wen needs money, except for MR241, he really can't see the profit margin of time in other areas.

After asking Doris and Nadezhda for their opinions, he finally decided to go "fishing" on the edge of the jumping circle.

In the face of the threat of the overall environment of the outside world, although the Segeis people are not united, they all have their own small calculations, and most ship owners are still willing to give some convenience according to the Segeis management method, such as receiving the peer identification signal, feedback back to the basic condition of the fleet and the level of combat readiness duty.

Soon, Pan Vin's fleet stopped hundreds of thousands of kilometers outside a fleet of decent strength, looking for mining sites and preparing to "fish".

At this time, there are two fleets near the periphery of the jump circle, one is the single-ship gold diggers who are not afraid of death, they mostly use patrol ship level boats, and they have always been the most common type of MR241, the boat is small and the target is small, and it is difficult to arouse the interest of passing by when static mining. The other is Pan Wenxuan's "cover" of the rear fleet, which has a relatively strong strength.

This fleet has three heavy frigates, two medium frigates, and several engineering ships of two or three thousand tons, and if there is no moisture in the information to reply to the information, one of the heavy frigates is also of the twin main gun type, which is almost the same as the fleet strength of Pan Wen's teammate Zhou Sen in D21. In the passive state of mining, it is not realistic to rely on them to resist the attacks of players, Pan Wen just likes their scale, whether it is early warning or delay, it is definitely much better than a single ship of gold panning.

Considering the change in the situation, this time the hangar was not opened to use the metal reaction to seduce, and the next thing was mainly to rely on stable mineral output to do fixed-point mining, and released the "Hawkeye" reconnaissance ship to be completely stationary in the outer position, seemingly passively waiting for the ill-intentioned guy to send it to the door.

This trick is still very effective, according to the underground agreement between a certain country and Segeis, the position of the Panvin fleet has actually left the "safe zone", and those who want to fight pirates, but are hindered by the overreaction of the Segeis forces within the jump circle, will occasionally watch along the line to see if there is any unafraid of death.

Pick up the cheap and change the spot to find the ore again, and after two times, a large fleet of patrol ships was ushered in.

As a certain group of patrol ships gradually increased the level, it became more and more difficult for the Golden to obtain specific ship size information from a long distance, but the unmanned reconnaissance ships arranged in advance still played a role and obtained more indicator information from other angles.

Forty patrol ships and two frigates have not been determined due to distance, but from the time of appearance and Pan Wen's speculation on the results of the release of the imperial honor system in the early stage, it is likely that they are complete player fleets.

Worried that the other party would miss it due to the distance and the stationary ship such as the Gold, Second Lieutenant opened and closed the hangar for a short time and gave the other party a seemingly non-existent message.

The action quickly took effect, the other party found the metal reaction, adjusted the angle to approach, and released dozens of fighters to go out to reconnoitre, the sortie and acceleration process of the fighters was captured by the reconnaissance ship, and Pan Wen's fleet also reacted immediately.

Pan Van only allowed the fighters to locate their fleet and gather a small amount of less reliable information, and it was impossible for them to directly capture a clear picture with a valid reference.

In order to deal with the guys who are becoming more and more perfect in tactics without revealing themselves, half of the Alai III fighters and Weiss IV gunboats are mixed with several S-series fighters and oversized mechs to "passively" face the battle.

In the confrontation of fighters without shields, especially the confrontation between powerful fighters and ordinary fighters, it is easy to have a one-shot hit to end the opponent, and ordinary fighters who are unlucky to be hit by the detector part of thin armor can also be fatal with one hit, and the appearance of the current fighter overrun mecha is also different from when they left earlier, and they are not afraid of being recognized.

Although the fighters were inefficient due to their poor hit rates, Ensign 1 and 2 successfully killed all the fighters at a safe distance of 100,000 kilometers after using their respective eighth-level particle secondary guns as auxiliary strikes to limit their dodge angles. The difference between the Golden and the two ensigns on the same level was thousands of kilometers, and the fighters did not have the opportunity to analyze the difference in size in the short combat speed change, and it was even more outrageous to rely on artificial memory and calculation.

Taking this opportunity, Ensign No. 1 and No. 2 also clearly told each other the identity of their heavy frigates, and even if they were done, they would wait for the other party's reaction.

As expected, the players didn't realize that the fixed-point mining here was a big boss with only two ships, one large and one small, and after confirming the general situation of two of the ships, they felt that there was meat to eat.

The engagement was initiated by the player's fleet, which seemed to be salivating over the frigate's full-size cannon range, and was already at its maximum striking range within the nebula, which was 400,000 kilometers away.

Such a blow would not be a threat even if it was concentrated on a single ensign, but the Gold and Ensign 1 and 2 were all pretended as two cargo, and each ship only used one main gun to make inefficient counterattacks, and also made various evasive actions.

The continuous hit rate of this continuous strike from a distance is slightly lower, and the power of the nebula is weakened, the attack effect is already poor, and the players also take advantage of the formation change to take turns using patrol ships to fend off attacks on the frigates, resulting in only three patrol ships being damaged in a few rounds, and one of them is seriously injured.

Along the way, hundreds of missiles released by the player from nowhere also arrived.

After experiencing the player's missile sea, Pan Wen had long been prepared for this, this number of missiles was meaningless to Pan Wen's fleet, but in order to continue to deceive the opposite, the three ships did not turn on all the interceptor guns, but carried out coordinated interception, as much as possible to maintain the details of the structural features are not completely exposed to the opponent's radar.

The tactics worked, and the player's fleet did not appear to make a U-turn or turn around, and the closer it went.

At the same time that the opponent's first heavy firepower ship reached the right range and fired, Pan Wen's fleet also pulled off the sheepskin of Grandma Wolf, took out all its weapons and began to sweep.

Needless to say, the entire ship's firepower is strengthened by more than 100% of the Gold's ship, and one ship is enough to clean up the fleet in front of it, not to mention that there are twenty second-generation ultra-limited mechs that cooperate with ships that are specially designed to deal with ships whose shields are broken but escape. History will always repeat itself, the fleet with two more frigates is no different from their predecessors, and just the time for a single strike by the Super Cannon has deprived this small fleet of the minimum firepower density required for an effective counterattack, and the decision to escape is completely destroyed without giving time to escape.

When the salvage work started, the fleet recovered the miners and slowly accelerated.

The previous players were already wary of his big boss and may have set a trap, but now the situation is completely different. When dealing with the first two fleets dominated by frigates, the Gold did not use the Super Cannon, and even if there were players on it, they would not realize that the fleet that appeared in this location to mine would be the boss who killed and killed in the battlefield before. In addition, the location of the Golden is only just leaving the Segeis jump circle, and there is still some distance from the jump circle of MR240, knowing that Segis has been building a "permanent" star base here for several months, and the people of the empire have already acted if they want to act, and it is impossible to put a large number of fleets in this direction now.

In short, at his own doorstep, he is still very willing to receive the wreckage, as long as he maintains a certain speed, even if something happens, he can find allies by shrinking back.

I have to say that the goods in the player's hands are good, even if they are ordinary models, they have been more or less modified, and the recovery value of the complete equipment is much better than that of the NPC's ships of the same level, not to mention the two frigates, even the main guns have been improved.

The "Hawkeye" reconnaissance ship was placed in the reconnaissance array, the fleet retracted into the Segeis jump circle, and Pan Wen took Najri to the hangar to listen to the technicians explain the degree of modification of the two main guns. Both are positive electron cannons, equipped with special attack units and equipped with non-standard particle accelerators, which should provide 10% to 15% additional attack effectiveness, according to the technicians. It is not considered standard Seiko-grade equipment, but there are also shipyards that are willing to recycle this kind of thing at the price of Seiko-grade equipment, but unfortunately it cannot be loaded on their own ships due to different size standards.

Pan Wen is also sometimes jealous of the player's modifications, which increase the combat ability of the ship almost the top half of the expert captain, and even the shield will be modified, and it is the only system that cannot be enhanced by superpower resonance.

However, jealousy is jealousy, Pan Wen still adheres to the most financially efficient way to increase his combat power, and never touches those seemingly beautiful things.

Take the two captured full-size guns as an example, its return price is about the same as that of Seiko-grade equipment, about twice that of conventional guns, modern industrial-grade equipment, in addition to the establishment of scientific research institutes to promote science and technology a little bit, the only two ways to change one is to make laboratory equipment alone, and the other is to replace the original parts with materials that are too expensive to popularize, and the main body of the main gun often costs tens of thousands of tons of materials to drink a pot. Either of the two means of modification pays more than just one or two full-size guns. The combination of the two modifications may increase the performance of the main gun to the same level as the bonus effect of a Captain-Specialist, but it may cost as much as an entire frigate for one gun.

The "Hawkeye" reconnaissance ship dropped the reconnaissance array, and Pan Wen's fleet was in no hurry to move back to the satellite base to deal with the loot, he wanted to see how quickly the players reacted to him.

The entire MR241 fleet with super cannons is probably less than a slap in the face, and Pan Wen is in the pirate camp, and the act of starting to fight without notice is also obviously a savage pirate, even if the original livery of the Gold is replaced with a special one for Seguiis in the recent restoration, and there are strange small fighters to testify, it will be immediately recognized by the player. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be on the edge of the jump circle with allies next to him to see how efficiently the players were ralliing.

The player didn't disappoint him, and less than two hours passed between the hapless fleet being attacked by the Super Cannons and the first fleet, mainly patrol ships, arriving near the wreckage. Two hours seems like a long time, but in fact, it is almost the shortest time to move in a straight line at full speed from one or two million kilometers away from the edge of the corresponding jump circle of MR240, and the number of the first fleet to arrive is still obviously assembled, more than a hundred.

"Boss, you seem to be very famous among the mercenaries." Doris took the initiative to contact and mocked, anyway, there are two pirate fleets in front of the current position of the fleet, but there is no need to do electronic silence.

"Huh." Pan Wengan laughed in response, shook his head, and asked the "Hawkeye" reconnaissance ship to throw out several reconnaissance arrays again and command the fleet to leave.
