Kareda hung up the communication and coldly turned her head to look to the side, where two women in black and white uniforms were waiting.

"Miss, I'm sorry I didn't stop Butler Babed." One of the two had pale blonde ear-length hair apologizing to Kareda.

Kareda ignored his men and raised her chin slightly to the visitor: "Say." ”

The other of the two women, wearing white gloves, took a step forward and bowed slightly, but the words were not so respectful.

"Miss, Lord Viscount is very dissatisfied with your actions this time, and he thinks that you should consider the interests of the family more."

"Hmph." Kareda snorted, her expression even colder, "I just don't want him to get involved because of the family's interests." That thing can only give up its interests so as not to provoke the trouble of destroying the door, and he can't see the situation clearly now. ”

"Miss, be careful how you speak." The housekeeper named Babert didn't seem to be weak, and after saying half a sentence, she pretended to sigh, "Hey, it seems that the Viscount's decision is not wrong. ”

Hearing this, Kareda's brow furrowed, and she smelled a hint of bad smell.

The corners of Babet's mouth curled slightly, revealing two fine lines on the side of her mouth, and continued to speak in a more indifferent way.

"I, Babet, in my capacity as the head of the House of Guiemet, announce on behalf of Viscount Guiemet! Until you change your mind, the Gyjemet family will refuse to allow you to continue to use the family's information and resources, and some of the crew members in your fleet signed in the name of the Guijemet family will return to the main fleet within 24 hours. ”

After the housekeeper finished speaking, I don't know if it was out of ridicule or what kind of mentality, after bowing slightly to Kareda again, she left the room directly without waiting for her response.

Kareda looked coldly at the back of the housekeeper, and was surprised to find that she was not very angry.

Jijemet, in Segeis, is a big family with absolute right to speak, as a member of the family, he can indeed struggle for several lifetimes less than ordinary people, but the intrigue is also something that ordinary people can't experience in several lifetimes.

Now the family has stopped supplying all information and resources to Kareda, which means that what she wants to do next is all her personal behavior, and any accident that provokes any powerful enemy will have nothing to do with the family. However, the butler's words just now did not say death, only that it would be so before she changed her mind. Once she really succeeds, the family will still come up and get a piece of the pie!

"Humph! Old fellow, let me show you my means! I'm waiting to see what kind of face you have when you grab food! Kareda groaned and looked up to the housekeeper and instructed, "Let the girls of the diplomatic corps look at their men, and from now on, make sure that as many guys as possible are involved in the plan!" ”

"Yes."

……

After nearly twenty hours of sailing, Pan Wen and his fleet once again entered the MR241 star field.

After finding the mining site, the fleet still maintains patrols around the perimeter first, because there will be two or three days without access to the valuable fleet. Taking advantage of the relatively safe surroundings, Pan Vin organized some crew members to familiarize themselves with the Allen-class patrol ship that had been parked in the hangar.

In order not to affect the efficiency of the Hammer's operation, the crew of the Allen-class, which still maintains the silver-gray livery of the Islamic Empire, except for the elite pilot Candace, half of them are marines, and only one fire controller and one radar communicator are professional.

After several hours of static familiarization with two batches of personnel, the Allen-class was released from the hangar for seaworthiness training. Since it relies on the Hammer's personnel, it is similar to a normal rotation, and it will dock with the Hammer every eight hours and change personnel.

After just two days of seaworthiness, Pan Wen, under the prompting of the tactical team, found that the situation of MR241 had begun to change, and the fleet of eight or nine groups of patrol ships and painted belonging to the Islamic Empire had increased significantly, and some old medium-sized patrol ships had begun to appear in these fleets.

In the eyes of ordinary crews, they are probably just some guys who come to MR241 to deliver food without their means, but Pan Wen sees more from it - the small ship manufacturing lines that match the needs of the law have been completed one by one!

Pan Wen used the information used in the captain's room to understand the world background, and the shipbuilding factory also expanded the production line when the restrictions on both large and super-large fighters were lifted the last time the gunboats were lifted. The new production line is not all used to meet the needs of society, and the government will take this opportunity to replace the existing equipment in large numbers to occupy most of the production capacity and put the existing equipment on the market.

The official refit was carried out gradually, so a month ago only older models such as the Hall class could be seen, but now the more recent patrol ships of the Connie Constance class have appeared in these fleets. The "Connie Constance" class and the "Hall" class are the same tonnage, but just the upgrading of equipment and weapons has led to a nearly 30% increase in the range of her main gun, weapon interception accuracy, shield strength and other performance, of course, the price of this kind of "high-quality" equipment in the eyes of players will not be cheap.

As the official refitting progresses, the mid-size patrol ships, which can barely be classified as small ships, will also be replaced by new models, and their gradual appearance on the market will really make pirates start to feel uneasy, such as Pan Wen.

Although medium patrol ships are also patrol ships, the difference between them and light patrol ships is the same as between light patrol ships and gunboats. Compared to light patrol ships, regardless of the basics such as shields and hull strength, in terms of function alone, gunboats cannot perform active hyperspace communication, cannot jump in hyperspace, and do not have superpower resonance components. Compared with the previous level, the biggest improvement of medium patrol ships is the all-round simultaneous interception capability like a frigate, and they also have a hangar that can really play an effect in actual combat, rather than just loading a few mines, and the conventional medium patrol ship can already be regarded as a reduced version of the frigate.

No matter how much progress a medium-sized patrol ship has made compared to a light one, there is still an unbridgeable gap in strength with a frigate, but Pan Wen would never dare to treat them like a light patrol ship. A simple comparison can be understood that the main gun energy level of medium-sized frigates is mostly 7 to 8 levels, and the special ships even have 9 levels, such energy levels, once the full hit, even if it is the Heavy Hammer, it only takes up to nine ships to be immediately penetrated through the shield to produce real damage. Annoyingly, the frigate's main guns, even after being strengthened, cannot make them ineffective with a single shot.

Some time ago, after the scalpel was added to the ranks, Pan Wen asked the tactical team to do a reassessment, and the result was that with the existing three frigates against light patrol ships, it would probably be able to destroy nearly sixty ships before serious damage, and if our fleet had enough initial speed before engagement, the number would be even greater. However, if you change to a medium-sized patrol ship, as long as you make up thirty of them, it will pose a mortal threat to Pan Wen's existing fleet, which happens to be the player's specialty.

"Faster than expected!" Pan Wen leaned against the head of the bed in the captain's room, looking at the ceiling with a little broken eggs.

He is an Awakened and retains the memories of the previous era of the Second World, and in the latter part of the previous era, he learned a lot of the inside story from several players. One of them, with the change of the Second World Era, the production process is becoming more and more complicated, at the beginning, a top-level weapon only needs to be paid for almost immediately after the hand, and during the Gemini Legend period, the same time is only enough to make a kitchen knife for life, and the top-level ones have to find their own research institutes to invest in project funds and wait slowly.

The Galactic Era is in the Fifth Age, and Pan Wen feels that according to the rising speed of process complexity, these factories that can use light patrol ships as kitchen knives will take three or five months to complete, plus the replacement of official ships occupies productivity, and it will take more time for the player base to become popular. Because of the complexity of my ship's logistics, the factory does not count the procedures, and it takes a little time to select the site, plan, and concentrate the construction materials, personnel, and construction required.

Regardless of what he thought, it was a fact that MR241 was seeing more and more patrol fleets, and he had to be more careful not to be targeted by a large player base.

After lying in bed and thinking for a long time, Pan Wen made a risky decision - to go deep into the nebula.

As a galaxy in rebirth, the closer the MR241 Nebula is to the center, the lower the density and the larger the asteroids. And these treasures that can represent a large number of star crystal ores are the key to the major forces competing for them.

On the periphery, everyone guards their own hyperspace jump range, which is relatively stable and safe, but the road to the center of the nebula is very different, the closer to the center, the shorter the asteroid group movement cycle, and everyone does not have much time to stay in their own direction to dig ore, simply occupy which is which. In this case, it is not surprising that there are three or five countries and individual forces in the same radar scanning area.

The size of Pan Wen's fleet was not large, and it was purely a matter of searching for a place where a large number of fleets would "watch" at any time in the event of an engagement. So he just went a little deeper, avoiding the leveling area of normal players, as for those advanced players who have the courage to open up the wasteland, although they are better equipped, they are not so much of a threat because they are not easy to form a scale.

Seeing that he was about to approach the MR240's jump into the circle, Pan Wen no longer hesitated, and returned to the control room to direct the fleet to recover the mining machine and fly towards the nebula.

Directly into the nebula, about every 3 million kilometers, you can observe more obvious environmental changes, such as the average diameter of asteroids is larger, and the impact occurs more frequently.

After moving about nine million kilometers inward, the fleet slowed down in search of a mine.

Fewer asteroids meant a greater concentration of minerals, and soon a mine that was being mined by others came into the sight of the Panvin fleet.

"Sir, there is an artificial reaction on the surface of the marked asteroid, it is likely to be a mining machine."

"No ships?"

"We're looking."

"Well, notify the other ships, reduce the thrust, reduce the propulsion response." The distance of the marked asteroid is still far away, regardless of whether the other party has discovered them now, what should be done is still to be done, at least to provide the other party with as little further information as possible.

The increase in asteroids, and the decrease in number and density, made him no longer interested in looking for uninhabited minerals, and it was not bad to get the pits from others.

Pan Wen never expected that he was the only one who played ambush warfare in MR241, but the company in front of him was too out of line, and there was not even a ship to act as a decoy, could the mining machine fly across the galaxy without supplies?
