The position of MR242 is not a rush, and you can jump directly from MR241 to 243, 244, and 245, and the distance between the three points and MR241 is roughly the same.

The distance between the three small galaxies and MR241 is delicate enough for a previous generation of frigates to skip, and the patrol ships can only be passed at once by heavy patrol ships with new tunnel algorithms and powerful engines, which are generally new models that have only been released in recent years.

Since the mercenaries of the Islamic Empire can come here, it means that after a year of construction, the production capacity of the empire's small ships has fully met the demand, and the mercenaries have begun to install new types of heavy patrol ships.

It's not that mercenaries can't come before, and they don't have to go through the corresponding jump circle of Segeis to get off from MR241, and Segeis is also powerless to fight against the two behemoths of the Empire and the Federation in the area where MR242 is powerless, except for the named particle storm area, most of the entire star system is a relay area for various civilian transportation. It's just that the cost of action will be involved before the mercenaries are equipped with the latest ships, although they don't care much about the cost of big operations, but they still need to save money in peacetime, and there are many patrol ships, which means that the jump cost of each comprehensive combat power share is higher, and it is difficult to find a target with suitable value when jumping long.

Now, the timing of mercenaries coming to do "business" is well grasped. Before MR243 started the civil war, mercenaries attacking civilian ships or passing warships in the local area would inevitably lead to diplomatic trouble, but now the local neutral forces are worried about setting themselves on fire, and they can't mobilize their partners to fight with the two big powers for a while, so there is room for "profit".

Pan Wen once again asked the technicians for the model and data of the downed patrol ship, and learned that the six ships were actually elite models that had not yet been installed in the Islamic Empire!

The classification of elite heavy patrol ships and corvettes is a bit blurred, and the new varieties announced in recent years are equipped with a main gun that is almost the same performance as a full-size gun, the so-called 9.5 class gun.

The 9-level energy consumption gun is equipped with heavy firepower ships in medium-sized patrol ships, and it is also the standard configuration of standard heavy patrol ships, but all kinds of actual combat show that the gap between the 9-level energy consumption gun and the full-size technology without considering miniaturization is still a bit large, especially the lighter volume of the patrol ship itself makes the stability of tactical actions slightly worse, and the distance of 250,000 kilometers can only reach the hit rate of 400,000 kilometers of the frigate, and it is inevitable to develop better lightweight main guns to save the cost of border guarding.

The 9.5-level gun belongs to the new variant of the main gun, and there is no official index, according to the civilian default standard, the combat range can reach about 350,000 kilometers, the volume is not more than half of the full-size gun, and the maximum length is less than 70% of the particle-type full-size gun, which can be called the 9.5-level gun. With the patrol ship basically abandoning the hangar, it has a small combat cross-section, and already has the ability to fight against a single main gun frigate.

The existence of "atomic arrangement and bond energy endowment technology" makes there no technical obstacles to the development of the 9.5 class gun, mainly because it is impossible to use basic materials to reduce the cost of manufacturing and sales, according to the quotation of MR243 shipyards to Segeis, the price of a 9.5 class gun is 40% higher than that of a full-size gun. In addition, heavy patrol ships have already begun to take on a small number of interception tasks, and the engine indicators are similar to those of corvettes, so that the price of a heavy patrol ship is almost the same as that of a corvette!

The problem is that the level 9.5 cannon is not a level 10 cannon after all, the energy stage in the duration of the jet is still one digit less, and the damage ability to the shield can reach 70% of the previous generation of full-size guns and 60% of the new model. Compared with official orders, elite heavy patrol ships are bought more by private consortia, and these guys have money to arm, but they are reluctant to invest in personnel. However, it is clear that the Empire and the Federation have found a better buyer, mercenaries who can turn into money, a method that maximizes the mercenaries' ability to fight against all types of combat fleets without violating the rules for the opening of small ships.

"Our old adversary seems to be too lonely in MR241 and has reached here." After Pan Wen made the crew of the entire bridge control room understand the identity of the enemy, he began to arrange, "Prepare a galaxy broadcast to inform that there are mercenaries who are sabotaging the transport route here, and ask all Segeis colleagues to maintain the stability of the civil transport line." ”

"Huh!?" "Huh?"

Some of the crew members who had nothing to do with the execution of the order made strange noises, or looked back to see if their captain's head was burned.

It is unlikely that Panvin's request will be fully implemented, but there will still be a lot of fleet responses. It is no secret that SEGEIS relies on MR243 to transport civil aviation routes, and once it loses route support, the structurally unsound SEGEIS will be subject to considerable impact. If you have a long-term vision, you can immediately think of the benefits: the interstellar trade route may collapse if it is attacked too much, even if the mercenaries are driven away later, it will not be restored with a news, and supply and maintenance have always been the main income items on the interstellar bridge, helping to maintain the safety of the waterway when the small country is not available, not to mention the image or something, the direct benefit is equivalent to sending them money, so that Segeis will inevitably get more support from them in the future.

There is also a guarantee, on weekdays, the pirates of Segois also maintain restraint in MR243, and the good food at the door of the house is not willing to eat by outsiders, even if the pirate ship owner who is not very smart knows what to do.

It's a pity that only a few large ships are equipped with mobile trans-space communication devices, and when the broadcast is sent, Pan Wen can't get timely feedback, which has no good way to deal with it, and can only observe the situation of each route through a large-scale galaxy scan.

Scanning a large area takes a lot of time, and it just so happens that the Harbour is still helping to repair the caravan's armed merchant ships, so there is plenty of time.

If it is in MR241, Pan Wen will definitely not dare to help others repair ships, but in MR243, there is no need to take the player too seriously for the time being, even if they have begun to equip elite heavy patrol ships, the popularity rate will not rise for a while, after all, its price is a frigate level, at least 5000 star coins and above, even if the shipyard can produce it, not everyone can come up with so much spare money. Accustomed to large-scale operations, their personal profits would not be too high, and they came to "enjoy", in addition to ships, there are many places where they usually need to spend money, and saving money is not a strong point.

After an hour of repeated scanning, the MR243's situation at this time was basically clarified.

There were eight new firefights in the hour, and three of them had an increased energy response during subsequent scans, possibly with pirates helping, or mercenaries robbing someone else.

It seems that the frequency of firefights is not high, but it is not optimistic to consider it a little widely.

Judging from the handful killed by the Panvin fleet, they are scattered and small, and they must be cautious in choosing their prey, so although there are only eight firefights, they must be calculated according to the ability to launch eighty attacks at the same time, and their overall scale may exceed five hundred ships of various types!

Five hundred, if all heavy patrol ships and frigates, is almost equivalent to the total size of the space fleet of the six small tattered countries of MR243! When they realize that the pirates may still gather together to protect the route, the pirates will not dare to fight to the death because they have no interest in MR243 on weekdays, and the small countries are still fighting among themselves, and they will not be able to concentrate their forces on a fleet of this size.

MR243 also has a force, which is the various consortia, groups, and heavy industry enterprises that have established shipyards and laboratories here, and the scale of the private army of these goods is enough to settle things, but like the pirates, it is okay to ask them to strike a small fleet of less than ten ships, but the scale is mostly a show.

Pan Wen, who was not optimistic about the later stage, after completing the repairs for the caravan, led the fleet to the logistics port of Seguis at MR243 - the Youngster.

The internal routes of the Sea of Death around Segeis are kept secret from the outside world, and non-pirate supplies can only enter Seguis, and the Hina is such a distribution base in the asteroid belt of MR243.

Due to the geographical relationship of MR243, the young Hina is only a satellite-like object without a weapon system, and does not accept any ship supply and personnel reception business in normal times, but it serves as the most important material entry and exit platform for Segeis, which not only has a point-to-point cross-galaxy liaison equipment, but also has a tripartite permanent representative of Segeis.

Pan Wen had just sent out a radio to the pirates that the Hatchlings had definitely received, but there had been no public response so far, indicating that the three representatives on the Hatchlings had not reached an agreement or had no intention of participating. So he's going to lean over and hand in the scans to see if he can help.

…… That's right, although the Chick is a bit of a point-to-point communication facility, and it is also a kind of star-based, but it has no galaxy scanning ability, no weapons, and any equipment other than communication and residence is a waste, and it is more intuitive to think of it as a farm with communication equipment.

The idea was good, but halfway down the road, Pan Wen's fleet was stopped by the local guards, for the same reason as before, large ships were not allowed to enter the asteroid belt.

Pan Wen of the small national guard can be pinched to death in a few seconds with an order, but in order not to make the relationship too bad in the future, he can only think of a compromise.

Segeis's authority system is very strict, and in Pan Wen's entire fleet, only he, Pan Yue'er, and Doris are qualified to ask the tripartite representatives of the Hina to confirm the scan results and annotations, and let the two boss boats pass, with the current environment, it is really a bit risky, so you can only borrow the hands of the guards.

Take out a hundred star coins and give them the attachment of the scan results and notes, and ask them to hand over the file. Similar requests for the delivery of letters are often received by the guards, and there is no doubt that they will not be delivered, but there is a question mark over whether they can reach the people who should see them.

At this time, Pan Wen wants to have overall command, because once the mercenaries taste the sweetness, MR243's stable good days will come to an end, and it will drag down Segeis. However, the matter of command can only be thought about, Segeis's system is a tripartite resolution, and he has to agree to the other two parties to get the command agency of the Alliance, so that all the passing pirates can be moved, and a few meetings are held back and forth, and it is almost a mess. Even if he only takes the command agency of the Alliance, it will limit his ability to move freely, and Segeis, as the first front tooth, will be knocked out sooner or later, and he can't run around and toss, and there will be no capital to play with.
