As the head snake of the port, in addition to the main business of repairing ships, reversing replacement parts and helping factories recycle are side jobs, and even these side jobs together can generate far more profits in peacetime than ship repair itself. As a long-term partner, the recycling price given by the factory is naturally not the same as that of others, and the value of the replaceable parts that can be used in his hands is of course much higher than that of the furnace.

"Of course, as long as the stuff on your ship isn't all armor fragments, at least give you two percent more."

Scardragon smiled, immediately searched for a sample agency contract in his personal computer, discussed it with Pan Wen for a while, and the two sides signed their names and irradiated their pupils.

In the agency contract, Pan Wen could not get the money directly, but took 88% of the final selling price of the loot, and Scarlong's team guaranteed that the 88% would be at least 20% higher than the factory's recovery price. In addition to providing a sales team and a channel for recycling waste, Scardragon also needs to store valuable loot, which is a lot of work, and the profit is not high in his income, but because he did not pay in advance, he actually avoided the risk of hoarding and capital flow of his goods, so take what he needs.

In the afternoon, Scardragon began to help contact the armed merchant ships, and by the way, a team transshipment, sorting and counting Pan Wen's cargo, and by the time he returned to the hotel in the evening, he had already received the first money - a total of 600 star coins for scrap recycling.

Scrap can be sold for 600 star coins, which is almost the income of an ordinary captain for ten years, of course, it is not just any wires or anything, it only contains the outer armor wreckage of warships and fighters. The minimum requirements for these outer armor alloys are to be able to resist the solar wind and have sufficient protection in the face of high-speed cosmic dust.

In addition to the scrap, the remaining valuable items still have to wait for sale, for the time being, Pan Wen only got the estimated price, and after the sale, he will probably be able to earn 3,000 star coins, which is equivalent to the value of three new "Hall" class patrol ships. Among them, the most valuable is undoubtedly the full-size neutron railgun that was retained after the disintegration of the Wright AD03, which is estimated at more than 1,300 Star Coins alone, which is almost equivalent to the combined value of all other large and small warship secondary guns, fighter weapons, and engines.

After finalizing the cooperation, Pan Wencai and his bodyguard Dorotai returned to the hotel and carefully counted the income.

The loot this time is divided into three parts, and what I just negotiated with Scardragon belongs to the largest and most valuable part - the value of the battle wreckage itself.

The second item is a device, the "artifact" carried by the fixed-point boss, the laboratory-level equipment defense amplification device type II. It is an accessory to the shield system, which is used to reduce the energy loss when energy is converted to shield defense, which can produce a little shield defense at 1000KJ, but it can be reduced to 850KJ after installation, which means that the shield recovery speed can be increased by nearly 20% without increasing energy consumption!

This "Thor" is a real good thing, and Pan Wen is reluctant to let Matthew take the technicians to assemble it.

There are two reasons, one is that the Heavy Hammer, as a heavy frigate used to take over the mission of the cruiser, in order to operate continuously in space and regularly jump in hyperspace, its own engine power is excessive, and when the weapon system is fully open, it can still ensure a shield recovery speed of 500 points per second and a thruster thrust of less than 70%. In addition, the energy reserve module has been installed for the Heavy Hammer, and the shield system can be overloaded in an emergency, which can completely increase the charging speed to about 800 per second, and saving a little energy is actually only enough to withstand the attack of one or two more gunboats, which is of little significance.

Second, of course, the Kuroshio has already been a retired ship, and it is a medium-sized frigate, and it is even more violent to load a defense amplification device.

If the "business" is good enough, Pan Wen hopes to save it until the moment he owns the cruiser, or to sell it when the player has some influence in the pirate community. NPCs treat the world as real, they don't invest a lot of money in a device that is so useful but can't cause qualitative change, and according to Pan Wen's attack, NPCs can bid up to 1000 Star Coins.

The Defense Amplification Device Type II is very small, weighing only seven or eight cubic meters and a dozen tons, and it is now in the rectification area next to the core chamber of the Hammer's shield system. Matthew is right to covet those experiences, but as long as Pan Wen can have two "Thor" for him to prepare during the contract period, he wants more, then he must extend the contract.

The last item of loot is the physical Star Coins.

This card-like little thing made of metal, a rare copper that countless people regard as life, can not be found immediately after the battle, and the main provider is the disintegrated boss, a whole safe, eight hundred and twenty. About 200 pieces were found in the other wreckage, and Pan Wen had already given them as bonuses on the road, the least one, the most such as the navigator and the first mate had four, the money was not much, but it could be spent.

Physical star coins are very valuable things, and Pan Wen does not have the habit of running around with a safe in tow, and will directly notify the people in the bank to get it on the ship tomorrow, and the extra income will not be too shabby after getting an armed merchant ship.

There wasn't much experience gained in this battle, and the loot was not in vain, so he ran back to Segeis again, but he still needed to work hard to expand his strength.

The process for the second day is very simple, first find the bank to recover the physical star coins, and then go to see the ship.

The armed merchant ships of the Galactic Age are not simply composed of merchant ships and cannons, but are modified from decommissioned ships, removing the main weapons and their related equipment, without the containment of the main weapons, the engines are also of lower power, and the shields are based on personal needs.

Pan Wen asked for 200,000 tons, which belonged to the tonnage of frigates, but the armed merchant ship did not have the burden of full-size main guns and a large number of war equipment, and it was much lighter when empty, and the 200,000-ton armed merchant ship was almost the same size as the Heavy Hammer.

Scardragon is very reliable, and helped Pan Wen find two big guys for sale, before the refit, they were both a kind of heavy frigate codenamed "Black Night", which was a durable product produced by the pirates during the development period. After being converted into an armed merchant ship, one of the shields remains the same, the defense points can reach 4000, the superpower resonance, secondary guns, and close defense guns are all completely retained, and the modified hangar area is equivalent to the Heavy Hammer and the Kuroshio combined. The other has only 1,000 shields, two close defense guns left, four secondary guns left, and the hangar area is 30% larger than the previous one except for some additional support structures, which is very completely refitted.

After Pan Wen ran to both places, he decided to buy 1000 shields.

Since there is no main gun, in fact, because the combat cross-section is hundreds of times larger than that of a ship with the same level 5 energy consumption weapon, even if there are more shields, it will not change the fate of being a target. In addition, a more thorough modification also means that fewer personnel are needed, and the maintenance cost for Pan Wen is greatly reduced.

And more importantly, of course, the second one is cheaper! After the discount of equipment and weapons was reduced, the ship was able to get it for 2,500 Star Coins, and even the most expensive thing in this money, except for the shell, turned out to be the external anti-radar paint!

A specialized garbage sweeper, Pan Wen didn't bother with personnel, and went to recruit an ordinary captain who looked reliable and had a good historical record that afternoon, and the signing fee of this rank captain was barely about the same as that of an elite-level navigator, but the annual salary was 50 star coins. With the addition of more than a dozen ordinary-level crew members and three elite-level marines, the five-year signing fee for the entire personnel team is only 300 star coins, which is completely negligible compared to the personnel contract consumption of nearly 10,000 star coins for the previous two frigates.

After getting the garbage sweeper and getting the personnel, it only took a few hours to get the additional equipment ready, including six multi-purpose engineering boats, two empty mine minelayers about the size of gunboats, and some reserves of mines, fuel, water, food, etc.

After all this was done, and a little more fuel was replenished for the two frigates, Pan Wen's account, which had previously risen to 6,000 star coins, still shrank to 1,800 star coins, which made him have another pain in the face, hoping that the return on investment would not take too long.

After another night's rest, with a sweeper that looked a lot like a frigate, Pan Vin gathered the crew and set off again.

He understands that if he doesn't take advantage of the fact that the new decree has not yet formed a supporting industrial chain, he may be overwhelmed in the future, and if it weren't for the fact that the hyperspace communication machine equipped on the battleship can't be used across the galaxy and can't be used online, he wants to use the sweeper as a supply ship, and kill him in the player group to get a few in and out.

More than ten hours later, he came to the MR239 star field.

MR239, together with MR240, MR241 and MR242 where Segeis is located, forms a T-shaped four nodes, which is the frontier commercial star field of the Gabre Federation. Of course, due to its proximity to the frontier of the pirate hordes and the arch-rival Isis Empire, the MR239 also has a lot of defenses in place.

Now Panvin's fleet is in a rather awkward position.

There is not even a single solid-state object within the radar search range, neither man-made nor natural.

This can't be blamed on the navigator, in fact, Pan Wen was mentally prepared before coming.

Hyperspace jumping technology has developed to the present, and there are still many restrictions when shuttling, such as jumping to a star system, and as a result, the gravity of the outer stars will be lower than that of the outer stars in the direction of the jump, and the landing point can only be located.

It stands to reason that everyone follows such hyperspace jumping rules, and they can be deployed in the approximate area of the response direction of adjacent stars, which is also a defense method that everyone used two hundred years ago.

However, the advent of quantum tunnel evasion technology made this defense method come to naught, and it was then that pirates began to proliferate.

The quantum channel avoidance technology is very complex, and it is very simple to explain, that is, if there is an energy reaction in the vicinity of the target position, the target position will be deflected. Allies using quantum lanes in the same band will also be co-located. Since the temporary space channel itself is very energy-sensitive, this technology does not require additional equipment, but only software improvements, and the popularization is simply rapid.

Having said that, the situation that Pan Wen's fleet was facing at this time was not only that it could not find a celestial object within the radar reconnaissance range, but even zoomed in to 10 million kilometers without a living thing.

There are only two giant gas stars in the MR239 galaxy, and the various industries and ports of the entire galaxy are distributed on more than 100 moons of the two gas stars.

At this point, both gas stars are on the other side of the star!
