Chapter 8 Dockyard Exposure
Pan Wen's fleet survived the MR241 area without incident, but it was not a big problem, and only the main gun of Ensign No. 1 under the command of Doris had a small wound near the cover armor when he returned to port, and this level of damage could be repaired by the shipboard engineering team itself.
Similar to Pan Wen's expectations, players who are close to the end of the year do not know what they are busy with will more or less reduce the frequency of battles, and the density of MR241's mercenary ship group has decreased significantly, which has led to his fleet being discovered several times, but the opponent's speed of gathering friendly troops is half slower than usual, so even if the ships are more advanced, they have not engaged in a few actual firefights.
After nearly twenty days of hunting, he chose to evacuate when he sensed that the density of mercenaries was increasing.
There are a lot of trophies stored in the mobile star base, and Pan Wen's fleet does not have professional transport ships, and the armed merchant ship Sanitation No. 1 is not on the side, and it is estimated that the fleet has a slight surplus after two round-trips. In the end, he borrowed the high-authority broadcast of the mobile satellite base to gather two fleets with excess transportation capacity and were ready to return to Segeis, because it was a one-way operation along the way, and the hiring cost was only converted into a fuel cost slightly more than Pan Wen's own fleet, six hundred star coins. There is a bit of point-to-point intergalactic communication on the star base, and the signed contract will be synchronized to Segeis, but there is no need to worry about the fleet of helpers escaping.
During the hiring process, something happened that Pan Wen didn't know about - he was secretly filmed.
The player, nicknamed "Tiger Son", has been with Segeis for three months, and he, like most pirate players, is having a pretty bad time with a certain woman who is unwilling to give up the first-mover advantage.
Of the three pirate organizations of Segois, the Brotherhood of the Stars is the most tightly managed, and the brothers who joined there are still doing sweeping and pouring water; The Seguis Grand League is a little better, but to be recognized there, you have to have a lot of family property, and the top level there seems to be the result of relationships, marriages, etc., and players can't find a way to improve their status for the time being.
Compared with the other two, it is obvious that the Interstellar Trading Friendly Alliance, which has a clear membership hierarchy, will be more suitable for players, but after everyone understands that they can immediately become a fourth-level member after dying once, and the number of fourth-level member players surges, they understand that there is a pit behind the fourth-level member - even if there is a ship, there is no independent sailing right before being promoted to a third-level member, and can only accept the employment of NPCs.
The divergent thinking of the players is very powerful, and they quickly figured out all the ways to be promoted to a third-level member, except for the most basic grinding time and being wanted by others, etc., there is only one way to complete the rapid promotion, which is the guarantee recommendation. According to the regulations, the first-level members can be guaranteed and recommended so that the fourth-level members can be promoted to the third-level members immediately, but the entire alliance has less than 200 permanent first-level members among the more than 10 million people in Segeis, and the number of long-term absences in Hong Kong will not exceed 500, and the low-level members are not even qualified to obtain the information of senior members, and they can't find a way to find a relationship, not to mention that there are also restrictions on the frequency of guarantee for first-level members.
Despite all these difficulties, pirate players are still increasing, everyone is interested in the vast sky after spending the third level of membership, pirates are different from empires and federations, once they have autonomy, anything that Segois can buy is no longer limited, and the difference is only the difference in the level of secrecy and some privileges.
Huzi is also one of them, and after three months of constantly adjusting his skill set, Huzi was finally transferred to the position of first mate in the flagship of a medium-sized fleet two weeks ago.
If there is anything to get closer to the core layer faster and more cost-effectively, the first mate is of course the best choice. The first mate coordinates logistics on the ship, and on lightweight ships, the first mate is almost the acting captain most of the time, and compared with some less trusted captains, the first mate may have more frequent contact with the fleet owner, and the easier interpersonal relationships may become a help later.
These days, the fleet has dug some low-quality mines in the MR241 Segeis corresponding jump circle, and the fleet owners who have not held the position of the fleet think that the profits are too thin, and they don't have the heart to wait until the hangars of the ships are stored, and they plan to return to the ship, and they just happened to receive a transportation commission from the mobile star-base, and most people are still willing to do it by the way, and the fleet's meager profits this time don't need to be considered.
The next thing is obvious, as the first mate of the flagship, Huzi immediately saw the Golden Ship docked in the outer harbor of the mobile star-based - it is too easy to recognize, its body size contrast is very conspicuous when it is in the port, and its length is obviously several times that of other frigates.
At the first glance of the golden number, Huzi immediately thought of the boiling big boss discussed in the forum some time ago.
A clear big boss is just around the corner, whether it is for his own promotion path, or to sell his news for money, the results that must be focused on are the same.
The signing of the temporary haulage employment contract requires the two parties to face each other, and Huzi estimated that he could become the first player to witness the big boss with his own eyes, but he couldn't see it!
It's not that Huzi failed to go out as an escort, but that the bosses of both sides did not choose to sign an agreement on someone else's ship for their own safety. Since it is not on the ship, the mobile star base has not yet provided a closed personnel activity area to the outside for the time being, and the two waves of people can only meet on the port platform in spacesuits or power armor. In this way, although they met, they didn't know what the parents were like when they were done.
There is no harvest for the time being, Huzi muttered a few words in his heart to stabilize his mind, there is no way to get first-hand information such as the body shape and appearance of the big boss, but after all, the fleet he is in is a delivery to others, and it can be sold for money when he returns to Segois to get the docking coordinates of the big ship.
The big boss behaves rampantly, and all players know that he is a person from Segeis, so naturally many people are working Segeis, but after a period of investigation, some people noticed that the top warships in Segeis will not dock in the thirty-two wave-shaped harbor area at all. However, it is very difficult to investigate non-port areas, limited by permissions, confidentiality, etc., and so on, there are many areas that players cannot approach in the short term, let alone get useful information.
When the curtain fell from heaven to the sky, and when he arrived at Segeis nearly twenty hours later to deliver the goods, Huzi finally got the information he wanted.
The last leg of the fleet's transportation was required to hover outside the Segeis for delivery, and no active detection means were allowed at this stage, but the Segeis was a ball with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers, and there was no external gas, and the distance hovering was only a few tens of kilometers, and the hatch for receiving the cargo could be seen clearly with the physical imaging system.
As for how much a non-three-dimensional constructed video can be fetched, it is not something that outsiders can know.
Pan Wen didn't know anything about the exposure of the special dock of the Golden No. 1, but he had already been mentally prepared, players are a pervasive group, even if such a large ship uses a special dock, the guide roadway is also deviated from the ordinary roadway, and it is only a matter of time before it is discovered, all he can do is to be prepared for security every time he leaves the ship, and never act alone.
This return to Hong Kong is the first time that the Panvin fleet has brought back a large amount of messy loot since Scardragon left Segeis, many of them are directly handed over to the factory to recycle the price is very poor, after some consideration, the matter of handling the loot is still fully handed over to their own business representative team.
According to the original cooperation model with Scar Dragon, it is naturally possible to do it, but now Pan Wen is entrusted by the snow outside to deal with a bunch of bugs, the danger is not mentioned for the time being, because the player's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the scope of action will definitely increase in the future, and the money will only become more and more tight, before the Haimer Star D21 satellite has developed a complete industrial chain, it can get a little more from the loot.
Unlike the sale of second-hand warships, the types of war loot are very fragmented, and no other buyer can buy all kinds of war loot, except for the port maintenance engineering team and the shipyard with low recovery prices. But in fact, when the engineering team needs materials and equipment for maintenance, unless they hoard it in the early stage, if they want to specify the type and model to buy, the price must be much higher than their quotation for recovering the loot, and most of the time they can only buy new products or go to the factory to customize; In addition, all fleet maintenance needs will be used in a variety of types, and the latter is clearly advantageous in shipyard quotations and trophy quotations.
Therefore, as long as there is a sales team of sufficient size to carry out demand-matching sales, it is entirely possible to sell the loot to 130% to 150% of the shipyard recovery price!
It is very troublesome to manage a large sales team, Pan Wen doesn't have that mind, but there will be many workarounds when it is left to the business representative, such as making money in the port, using the promotional panel in the port to advertise, or directly providing a commission of the percentage of the transaction amount for the trader, so that the crew on the demand side can come to the door by themselves, etc.
The only thing Pan Wen needs to provide is a few percentage points of the extra sales after deducting the factory's recycling money, which may reach tens of thousands of star coins on a full-year basis, and even after deducting a large number of advertising and employment costs, each of the less than ten financial representatives can get an annual salary of several years or even more than ten years a year.
After signing an additional contract with the finance representatives, Phan was planning a follow-up voyage when he received an invitation from the committee for joint action.
"Something big is going to happen?" Pan Wen glanced at the co-captain Nadezhda beside him, who shook his head and said that he had not heard anything special from his girlfriend.
