The bill from the bank just now, which was full of 1,000 star coins, was no less than a nuclear bomb blow to Pan Wen.

Pan Wen's predecessor, the only frigate, the retired ship Kuroshio, was actually bought in installments!!

A guy with more than 40,000 star coins in the bank actually paid in installments to buy a ship with less than 7,000 star coins! And after this payment, there are two more installments with a total of 2000 star coins waiting for you!!

This made Pan Wen a little bit of a wax, thinking about the matter of Karuida, he didn't even bother to eat, and checked the early funds and contract records in the bank all the way to see if there were any other installment payments. If there are too many projects, he will break the capital chain for a while, and he will not even be able to keep the scalpel number.

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it. In addition to the Kuroshio, the magnetic energy pulse melee cannon that has now been mounted on the Heavy Hammer is also someone else's!

This miser is too unreliable, and it's not that he has no money.

Rubbing his face, Pan Wen realized that there was something wrong - other people's memories are still not as easy to index as his own memories after all, and if he can't find keywords or pictures to recall, many memories will sink into the sea.

I carefully flipped through the "memory" of the predecessor, and sure enough, the miser never bought anything in full......

Finally, all that is left is 2,000 Star Coins and the Magnetic Energy Pulse Melee Defense Cannon...... It's 3,000 Star Coins, and I just paid 1,000. There are no other miscellaneous arrears, and this money is not much for the miser's deposit, but it is just that the current Pan Wenjia has to work hard to get money.

"I actually spent 2,800 star coins to repair a boat that only paid half of the installment!!" Falling on the bed, Pan Wen began to think about what to do next, "Hey, dear players, it's not that I want to pit you endlessly, it's really poor......!" ”

The next installment payment will take another month, and not repaying the loan in advance will actually not have much impact on him, after all the loot is sold this time, and the 900 star coins at hand, it is probably enough to replenish the scalpel to the entire elite-level crew, and tomorrow's trip just needs to be done casually, and get back one or two thousand star coins as a supply money.

But there is still a problem here, the crew members are paid with annual salaries, with the current crew, they will have to pay about 3,500 star coins at a time, and the crew of the scalpel has an interval between the time they get on the ship, which is not counted for the time being. The cost of replenishment and maintenance of the three ships in outer space, including additional fuel for combat needs, may cost an average of 1,200 Star Coins per month, possibly more. The average doesn't seem like much, but Pan Wen can't guarantee that fighting with players won't cause damage to ships, especially after all players popularize patrol ships, and the repair cost of frigates will be greatly reduced by two or three thousand star coins. Besides, in the two battles this month, he was on the cheap side, and he could make a small fortune by luck, but he couldn't expect good luck all the time.

With an extra two months of 1,000 star coins each, the pressure on his life will be a bit great, which may lead to his inability to enhance his strength in the next half a year. And the matter of Kareda's message requires him to quickly increase his strength.

Magnetic Pulse Close-in Artillery ...... Pan Wen's predecessor didn't buy it at the time, and the owner wanted it to be put to combat testing and sent back with a detailed report, which would be paid 600 Star Coins and an improved right of first refusal.

In order to achieve the purpose of making money, there were only sixty people on the Kuroshio at that time, only half of the current configuration, saving supply expenses with a low number of personnel. When Pan Wen took over the shell, there were really not many living people on the ship, and there was no other way to think of it except to run away.

The magnetic energy pulse close defense gun also belongs to the close defense artillery, and there is data when it is set on fire, and the data generated by the previous two operations is sorted out and there is a small half, and the data when it is hit by the main gun of the frigate is half of it.

The remaining half is hurtful - to counter the data generated by missile and torpedo weapons!!

I also tried it when I was still a "janitor" of the Gabriel Federation in front of the scalpel, and what a "good" result - the shield was cleared and the sensing system was temporarily malfunctioning.

Compared with the old-fashioned double OSE2116-and-triple electromagnetic live-fire close-in defense gun, it can produce a short-term continuous surface strike under the condition of slightly increasing energy consumption, slightly distorting the trajectory of energy weapons, destroying missiles, torpedo sensing devices and even directly scrapped.

In the eyes of players, of course, it is not good, and it must be a star in close defense weapons. But in Pan Wen's eyes, its shortcomings are also because it is a laboratory-grade weapon, and no one knows if it can really block those high-cost disposable projection weapons in actual combat.

This kind of extensive sample required for actual combat reports to be handed over to the laboratory cannot be completed by oneself with two or three test shots, not to mention the danger of making too many and whether there is money to be made.

Fortunately, there are still three months left in the time limit of the test mission, and Pan Wen estimates that in the next three months, he will more or less encounter so many big players who play with missiles, and it is really not possible to return the goods and lose money at that time. The miser paid the deposit, and he didn't need to take out the extra money, but he still had to lose a laboratory-grade weapon and a sum of money for nothing. As for not paying it back at all...... Forget it, the military laboratory is not what he can afford to provoke now.

Pan Wen was annoyed by money and tasks all night.

The next day, when he made the pre-departure replenishment, his bank deposit fell to less than 600 Star Coins, but fortunately, the assistant of the great savior Scardragon made a trip to transfer money, so that his deposit rose to 1300 Star Coins.

Naturally, Scardragon's assistant didn't show up, but he had to explain the details of the sale of armor fragments in person.

Thinking about the pressure of life and the information of Kareda, looking at the assets in the bank that could not be reached, Pan Wen made a somewhat risky decision temporarily, and spent another 300 star coins to buy the necessary equipment.

"Let's go to MR241 and make a big deal!" After sitting in the captain's console in the control room, Pan Vin announced his goal.

Both Dorotai and the navigator looked back at him in horror.

"BOSS, are you sure you really want to go to MR241? The situation over there is very chaotic, isn't it dangerous? ”

"It occurred to me that I still had a few thousand star bills waiting for me in the bank, that I had to save money to pay my brothers' salaries, and that I had to hire a crew member for the scalpel that I had captured last time...... Your boss is also poor! ”

Pan Wen said a few words casually, that is, the expenditure of 10,000 star coins, no matter where you put it, it is not a small amount of money.

Dorotai, the big guy who had been following Pan Wen, wondered how his boss had become so aggressive for most of the month, and it was clear that the captive ship could be sold to relieve the financial pressure. Although puzzled, Dorotai kept his duty after Pan Wen gave a random reason and did not ask any more questions. All they had to do was give an account to the crew and the other captain, Doris, as long as they didn't think that Pan Wen had deliberately sent them to their deaths.

The reason MR241 is so taboo for the crew is that this is the real place of chaos.

MR241 is a reborn star system like MR242, where the Sea of Death is located, with the only difference being that the protostar of MR241 exploded to meet certain conditions. This demonic zone, now full of asteroids and full of various impacts, is the origin of Star Crystal Ore, the raw material of Star Coins!

Forty percent of the physical Star Coins of the Galactic Era are produced in MR241! In the eyes of many people, the entire MR241 is made up of star coins!!

Ninety-nine percent of ordinary people on resident planets earn less than one star coin a year, and professionally trained space crew members can barely earn 4 or 5 star coins a year, and the best of them are usually crew members who have done basic genetic optimization to get more than 10. It seems that no more words need to explain the attraction of a nebula made of star coins.

Pirates, conglomerates, adventurers, and even state powers, none of them wanted to get involved, and even the traditionally conservative Republic of Florin had outposts here.

Pan Wen's fleet can be regarded as a small hooligan here, and it is really unlikely that he wants to do something earth-shattering, and a small fight is actually as dangerous as walking a tightrope, and once he is targeted by some big force, the consequences are unimaginable.

A dozen hours later, the exterior was presented with a cloudy nebula with a dark orange color in the center.

Using the usual cruising speed in such a place is to find death, and the ship can be damaged by the high density of dust without encountering an attack. Being able to flee at any time when encountering an irresistible enemy, Pan Wen's fleet still entered the nebula at a speed of 1,000 kilometers per second, at this speed, the armor of the frigate would not have problems, just to avoid wearing out the anti-radar paint, and could not sail continuously at this speed for too long.

After delineating the route on the star map, and at the same time sending a fleet of Alai fighters in remote control mode, intelligence is always the most important at all times.

The MR241 galaxy is in the process of being reorganized, and most of them are asteroids in counterclockwise orbits, except for the dust that floats in the sky, and there will be a few disobedient ones that will fly clockwise. Retrograde objects with speeds of between three and one hundred kilometers per second may not seem comparable to the speed of warships, but they are the disaster makers here, and they are responsible for an average of three collisions per second across the galaxy. The amorphous debris of the objects produced by the impact makes the already complex navigation environment fraught with unpredictable dangers.

Over time, the objects on the star map are determined to move one by one, and the reverse ones are covered with a layer of bright yellow, in addition to several man-made objects being marked. Two of the man-made objects are abandoned mines, one has been hit by celestial bodies in terms of shape, and the other man-made objects are ships, and the ship's sensors can locate targets for more than 2 million kilometers, because of the presence of anti-radar materials, the size cannot be very accurate, and can only be manually analyzed from the shape.

The tactical team in charge of manual analysis is not rotated, and it does not need to be on duty in non-combat, but it is not impossible.

"The bands of targets A and C belong to Segeis, and target B is unidentified, judging from the propulsion effect, eighty percent are patrol ships." Radar observers do just that, providing preliminarily filtered information and hinting at important parts.

They jumped from the direction of Segeis, and it was only right that there were more ships belonging to the Segeis forces nearby. Separate patrol ships can be left alone, except for the player, they will generally have some restraint and do what they can, even if it is a reconnaissance ship of a certain force, in such an environment, the party that arrives first has enough information advantage and has time to take precautions. Of course, the important thing is that this patrol ship is moving away from Pan Wen's fleet, and even if there is an idea, it will be quite troublesome to actually pursue it, and more is better than less.

"Continue to expand the reconnaissance area and pay attention to concealment."

The concealment here is not to look for celestial bodies as cover, but to use passive reconnaissance methods that are not easy to leak their own information as much as possible. In fact, with the complexity of the surrounding terrain, the efficiency of the passive search mode will not be very high, after exceeding the value of one million kilometers, most of the data needs to be obtained by the Alai fighters who act as reconnaissance aircraft, these little guys cannot be equipped with hyperspace systems, and the data obtained will have a delay of a few seconds to tens of seconds.

After entering the Nebula, it took several hours to confirm the safety of the surrounding environment, and Pan Wencai ordered the fleet to slow down and send the equipment he had bought before.
