While the pirate's jump circle was in full swing, Pan Wen's fleet had already left millions of kilometers and was almost out of the jump zone, but it still detected the violent high-energy reaction.

"Sir, a complex high-energy reaction was detected in the rear, and after comparison and positioning, it should be an energy reaction above level ten that broke out in the combat zone just now, and the distance is too far to confirm the number."

With the ability of the new frigate Heavy Hammer, Nebula can detect the propulsion reaction at a distance of millions of kilometers only in passive mode, and can only be located by high-energy reaction no matter how far it goes. Now they are almost four million kilometers away from the theater of operations, and even the high-energy response of the full-scale main gun cannot confirm the number is normal.

"There are at least ten ships that can measure the response at this distance." The leader of the tactical squad helped the radar officer, not because of the radar function, but because of statistics.

Ten frigates is not a big number, but only a salvo can cause such a strong energy escape, and considering that the various types of full-size guns require more than ten seconds to recharge, it is not difficult to speculate on the reason for the salvo - the pirates have finally decided to go into the harvest, or they have to work together to deal with something big.

It is possible to make huge profits faster by fishing in troubled waters, but Pan Wen will try not to let himself fall into an uncontrolled scene until the last resort, otherwise he will make fun of his self-awakened memory.

Ignoring the crew's report, the fleet continued its previous journey.

The jump circle was a big deal, and the road in between was much quieter, except for the occasional few pirates guarding the mining machine. But this is very abnormal, there are not only players in MR241, but also NPCs from other factions.

Fortunately, everything returned to normal after leaving the jumping circle, and as for those things in the jumping circle, it was still left to the capable to take care of it.

Mining and ambushing, it took five days, and Pan Wen's fleet intercepted two small fleets, adding up to six patrol ships and two corvettes.

Seeing that the time had climbed to May 10, he didn't care about getting any more money, so he commanded the fleet to return to Hong Kong directly.

More than 20 hours later, when they arrived at the port, it was obvious that the whole outside the port was very different from peacetime, the proportion of civilian merchant ships that usually accounted for the vast majority of them had dropped significantly, and there were a large number of warships returning to and leaving the port, of course, it could also be armed merchant ships.

After queuing up to enter the port, Pan Wen did not rush off the ship, notified the assistant team to come over, and contacted Scardragon.

"I'm back, let your men come to Hatch 56 in Port 4. By the way, what happened at the port? ”

While informing Scarsaurus' statistician and appraiser, he asked a question by the way. As the foreman, Scardragon directly addressed the captains of the ship through his news channels, asking him directly if it would be more accurate and not mixed with any rumors.

"WOO, big thing, very big thing, but not at the port, but on the side where we entered the jump circle of MR241."

Pan Wen was stunned, he really didn't think that the fight over there was still over! Including the time for them to move, prospect, and return to port, it is almost seven days, if they have been fighting, how many ships will have to fill in?

"Tell me about any news you have."

"Well, it's a bit complicated, so I'll go over with the appraiser and tell you about it."

Hanging up the communication, Pan Wen connected to the fleet meeting: "The captains of the ships informed the crew that after the unloading was completed, let them stay on the ship to assist the technicians in the maintenance of the ship for 20 hours, and the holiday will start tomorrow, at least a week's vacation." ”

"Wow! Well done owner! The compliment was expressed by the captain of the Sanitation No. 1.

Captain Ma Ming was still very calm waiting for the follow-up words or the end of the meeting, and Doris had a little doubt in her eyes.

"Also, after a lot of actual combat some time ago, I think there are many commanders and ordinary crew members in the fleet who have accumulated a lot of experience, and I hope that everyone can take advantage of this long vacation to improve their license level as much as possible. This is not mandatory, but the next bonus will be given priority to the crew who has upgraded their license. ”

It's so troublesome that NPCs have their own minds, and they can't be forced to do anything other than combat and combat duty. The contract is there, and most of the crew in Panvin's fleet are on five-year contracts, and upgrading the license level during the contract period will only cheapen Panvin, so he has to give them some incentive in the form of bonuses.

His own spirit level is only level eight so far, and he is still a lot short of obtaining the expert-level license suit. However, the speed of the rare elite level upgrade can be much faster, it stands to reason that most of the crew members on the Kuroshio and the Heavy Hammer should have been upgraded by more than ten levels in the past two months, and if everyone can make the most efficient use of the existing conditions, the overall efficiency of the entire fleet should be increased by about 10% - all items except ships, shield strength, and attack power.

"There are a lot of fees for taking the advanced license, and even if you are enterprising, you may not have enough money." Captain Doris is still more detailed.

"Well, that's what you said." Pan Wen thought about it for a while, the examination fee is indeed a problem, especially for ordinary crew members whose signing fee itself is only twenty or thirty star coins, although their ability is very weak, and the number of people can improve a certain data on what equipment, etc., but they represent the basic force of "public opinion", and counter-espionage and suppression of ill-intentioned guys depend on them.

"In this way, if you upgrade your license during the long holiday, you will receive a subsidy of 10 star coins per person, which will be regarded as an additional bonus. If this money is not enough, there is nothing I can do. Captains, work hard, and count the list of those who are interested in upgrading their licenses before tomorrow's holiday. If there is no doubt, just adjourn the meeting. ”

"Got it."

10 Star Coins is equivalent to the annual salary of an elite-level basic crew member for one year, which is really not a small amount of money, and there are a total of 400 crew members in the fleet, and it is impossible for Pan Wen to squeeze out more money.

Turning off the fleet meeting, Pan Wen patted Dorotai on the shoulder: "I'll trouble you to explain the matter of the crew." ”

"Yes."

After the meeting with the captains, the assistant team composed of the financial representative and the three security sisters also arrived, and when Pan Wen disembarked, Scardragon and his people happened to come over.

Sending the financial representative to the Scarry Dragon's men to count the accounts and the list of loot, Pan Wen began to understand the situation from Scardragon's mouth.

"It's a long story, it was just a bunch of Isis Empire guys who broke into our jump circle to MR241 and caused some damage. Their ships are not good, but there are many of them, and they should have been finished a few days earlier. But a group of people from the Gabriel Federation didn't know where to get the news, and about a week ago, they actually crossed half a galaxy to break into our jumping circle, trying to catch both sides. Their snatching of food and food provoked the anger of the people, and our people had no choice but to fight. ”

Pan Wen nodded, a week ago, probably at that point in time when his fleet had passed, it was indeed a high-energy reaction from a long distance.

"A guy from the Gabri Federation came with more than three hundred patrol ships, and the little guys of the Islamic Empire were frightened and ran away directly, and our people just had a slight advantage. The battle was originally won, but when everyone began to pack up the spoils, the Isis Empire came again! The scale is similar to the one from the Gabley Federation, but of course we couldn't stand it after a round of war, and we were beaten to the bottom. Fortunately, a few clever people saw that the situation was not good, and they came back first, and this matter has alarmed the council, and the results came out yesterday, to establish a new star base there to protect the interests of Segeis. Now the fleet outside the port is preparing to go over and clear the field. ”

…… What a big deal!

Previously, in order to maintain a fragile balance, the factions had only outposts in the MR241 system, which only provided basic defensive firepower and was able to repair ships. The starbase consists of a series of factories, and as long as there are enough raw materials, it can automatically protect a large area with only robot soldiers and ships. It just so happens that the large number of asteroids and large rocks in the 241 nebula are good raw materials.

Once the starbase is completed, players will be able to use this event to create an additional designated monster area for themselves, but this area will be mixed with a large number of other NPC fleets at any time, and it is not a place to take advantage of.

This decision of the Council of Segois will definitely cause a series of changes in the situation of all parties, and pirates like Pan Vin can only look at the great changes that affect several forces, and it is better to do their own thing first.

"I see...... Ah, I'm going to buy a frigate, do you have any good introductions? Pan Wen abruptly changed the subject.

He had already handed over the matter of the frigate to the financial representatives before, but the sources of information were different, so it would not be wrong to inquire about Scardragon.

When business came to the door, Scardragon's polite smile was immediately replaced by a cheap smile, and then his face suddenly froze, and he sighed loudly: "Hey......!" ”

“？？”

"Lord Pan, you're a little late, yesterday's parliamentary decision came out, and many inventory ships in the port have been ordered, and I know that there are probably only two or three corvettes left and no one has asked, and I guess you don't like that thing."

Pan Wen frowned, it was an unexpected blow. Scardragon is right, he won't want corvettes. Corvettes are similar to medium-sized ships in terms of main guns, but due to limitations such as size, other weapon systems are somewhat out of the table, and some models that can guarantee firepower are also the result of sacrificing hangar capacity.

"Well, then you can get busy first. I will be in the harbor for more than a week, and you will be sure to notify me if you have good news about the ship. ”

"That's good, I'll go and ask a few guys again, there should be someone who has stock, but it may be a little more expensive than usual."

After sending Scardragon away, Pan Wen glanced at the prompt message on the personal computer after entering the port, found a good thing, and took the three security sisters to the security bureau to collect the bills.

This account was provided by the prisoners on several patrol ships that he had captured alive during the ambush at the beginning of the ambush. Together with the members of the control room who had been protected by the last layer of personnel on the new ship, a total of nearly ninety prisoners were handed over to the Security Service, and the good news was that he could settle the bill.

After going around in the Security Bureau, there are 2,300 Star Coins on the account, less than 25 Star Coins per person, and it seems that there are many people in this group who have taken refuge in pirates and can only get basic subsidies.
