Chapter VII: Pirate Gunboats
As for the small electromagnetic radar, it is placed at the highest point on the edge of the annular crater, this radar is not large, just move some stones and pile them there to cover it up.
Finally, the small water purification equipment and medium-sized cold storage are placed at the bottom of the main core cabin, and all food and water are stored in the cold storage.
After putting 50 first-level clones into the base to arrange different tasks, a small base was formed, and it took him more than half a month in total.
As soon as the base was built, he couldn't wait to sail to the asteroid belt tens of millions of kilometers away with two ships to prepare for mining.
The three ships left the sub-light speed after an hour, and when the spacecraft entered the conventional material level, Li Qing got up from the command chair and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling glass of the bridge, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he saw a dense belt of meteorites in the cold starry sky that could not see the edge left and right, but in the depths of a pile of gray meteorites not far away, there seemed to be a huge artificial creation.
Keeping the mining ship and the industrial ship in place, the frigate slowly approached, and as soon as it slid into the meteorite belt, it saw a strangely shaped spaceship fly out from behind the huge artificial creation.
The frigate circled through the meteorites, looking through the crevices of the different meteorites, and found several of these strange-looking, old-looking ships in a row, until he saw one of them spewing a dazzling mining laser with two welding torches cutting a meteorite, and he realized that this thing was a wild armed mining ship.
This is also a type of wild monster, which generally appears in the asteroid belt, and can also mine, but has a small amount of force, and if destroyed, there is a chance to obtain some collected ore.
Correspondingly, if there is usually a wild armed mining ship, there must be a mining base, and a fleet to defend the base, depending on the size of the mining base.
It is worth mentioning that if this kind of mining base is not cleaned for a long time, the scale will slowly expand.
As the ore collected slowly increases, the mining base will expand, and then more armed mining ships and convoys will be generated, and more mines will be mined to expand again.
This kind of expansion is very slow, and if you ignore it in a year, you may only add a few mining ships, but theoretically there is no limit to this expansion, if you leave it there for hundreds of years, you can also raise a huge base, and there will even be cruisers and even battleships in the escort.
In high-security and low-security areas, there is no possibility of a large mining base, even in low-risk areas, only away from the player's activity area, no player for a long time, these refreshed monsters will slowly grow.
After observing for a period of time and determining that the convoy had nearly 20 frigates and one destroyer, Li Qing gave up his plan to do so, returned with the mining ship and the industrial ship, turned around and detoured to the other side, 10,000 kilometers away, and entered the meteorite belt.
The frigate is on guard, and the captain of the mining ship controls the mining ship to enter the meteorite belt and start mining.
The captain of the mining ship is a very ordinary whiteboard captain, and like the average player, he also has five brain slots, which are five skill slots, and now four slots are full.
They are LV3 for mining ship operation, LV4 for mining robot operation, LV2 for space geology, LV2 for mineral analysis, and LV3 for mining technology.
This so-called brain insertion,In fact, it is a skill slot,All players base five general brain slots,After that, every time you carry out advanced basic modulation,Or deep prosthetic implantation,A brain insertion slot will be added,Regardless of advanced genetic adjustment or prosthetic implantation,The upper limit is up to five times,That is, only five brain slots can be added。
In addition, if the player has a chance to successfully ascend genetically, or psionics, or mechanically, the performance will be increased by 5 universal brain slots at a time.
If the chance can achieve a second high-level ascension on the basis of the original ascension, 10 general-purpose brain slots will be added again.
This is also known as the first stage of ascension and the second stage of ascension.
Of course, the benefits of Ascension are not limited to this, and here it is just talking about brain insertion.
Each additional brain socket can teach as many skills as you can at the same time, but that doesn't mean everyone can learn so many skills.
You must know that most skills exist in the form of skill chips, and the current skills can be obtained by inserting the skill chip into the brain plug, which belongs to plugging and using, if you don't need to take out this skill chip and insert it for another skill.
The removed skill chip can be saved, and it needs to be reinserted later, and the skill level is still the original level.
So theoretically, everyone can be a generalist, and they can know all the skills in the world.
The premise is that you have that much energy to improve so many skills.
It is worth mentioning that most of the skill chips in addition to the basic skills can be traded, such as mining ship operation, mining robot operation, space geology and other skills can be traded.
However, the skill chips purchased directly cannot be upgraded, and there will always be as many levels as you buy.
Li Qing himself only has five brain inserts, but after awakening the talent of the son of the stars, the brain inserts were directly adjusted to 20, which is four times that of ordinary people.
And before leaving the Jinmen Galaxy a few months ago, he had already spent millions to buy a large number of zero-level upgradable skill chips, ready to use his tenfold experience bonus, and brush up on his skills.
Now he has loaded six skill chips, one of which is the basic naval command skill LV3, this is the basic skill and cannot be traded.
The other five are corvette operation LV4, space geography LV3, spatial perception LV3, signal analysis LV3, evasion maneuver theory LV3, these skill chips have been equipped for a long time, and they have been accumulating experience for several months, and now they have been upgraded to LV3.
And because he has been on the frigate, the skill of frigate operation has been upgraded to LV4.
Basic Naval Command Skills: Basic naval commander skills.
Attributes: +5% for each level of command fleet speed, +3% for weapon rate of fire, 2% for weapon damage, 200 for base command ships, +50 for each level of command.
Frigate Operation LV4: +5% speed, +3% start speed, and +3% turn speed per level of the frigate maneuvered.
Compared to the basic command skill, which acts on the entire fleet under the commander's command, frigate operation is a captain's skill and only takes effect on a single ship under the captain's command.
However, at this time, Li Qingzheng is also the captain of this frigate, and the two skill effects are superimposed, with a speed bonus of up to 35%, plus a 35% speed bonus of the third-stage plasma thruster, and a 10% bonus of the afterburner, a total of 80% of the speed bonus, making the speed of the frigate as high as 216,000 kilometers per hour, which is faster than that of ordinary destroyers.
The frigate patrolled silently for about an hour, and watched the mining ship find a mineral-bearing meteorite and release an unmanned robot to cut the meteorite, Li Qing retracted his gaze, found a few skill chips that could be used for mining from the many skill chips he bought before, and equipped them into the brain slot, and then drove the frigate to look at the floating meteorites one by one.
Space geology allows players to analyze the situation of meteorites by observing the surface of meteorites, and the higher the level, the more beneficial information they can obtain, and the innate attribute perception can greatly increase the experience and effect of this skill.
Mineral analysis, on the other hand, is to analyze and speculate whether there are minerals in the meteorite, what minerals, how much content and so on are based on the clues on the surface of the meteorite.
Similarly, the higher the level, the more accurate the analysis, and the innate attribute perception also has a bonus to this skill.
Even if he is just learning, he quickly got started under the super high innate attribute bonus, and his tenfold experience rose rapidly, and he had already reached LV1 in one day, and the effect was not inferior to the LV2LV3 level of an ordinary whiteboard captain, and he could already preliminarily infer whether there was a mineral in this meteorite through the mineral traces left on the surface of the meteorite.
As long as there is a mine, regardless of the proportion of content, it will open the universe in the palm of the hand, and then a cannonball will be blasted out, and the impact force generated by the explosion will be used to push it into the entrance of the universe in the palm of the hand.
Space is a vacuum, and a meteorite of several hundred meters will keep moving forward slowly as long as it can be pushed.
He is not in a hurry, and while practicing his skills, he collects both of them.
All the meteorites collected in the universe in his palm were thrown into a pile, and although he could use the power in the universe in his palm to smash them all, he didn't deal with it for the time being, and was ready to crush them all at once when he collected enough.
The days of mining are very boring, and the ship's staff can also play games, and he has to stay on the bridge all the time to free time.
But if you want to make money and become a strong person, you have to endure loneliness.
Fortunately, ten times the experience and super high innate attributes made him improve his skills very quickly, and watching each skill level up at an extremely fast speed, this satisfaction filled some of the emptiness.
"Bang!"
The sudden shrill siren made Li Qing come back to his senses, and he quickly checked on the command interface of the mixed fleet to see that it was the industrial ship moored behind that was under attack.
Check out the tips panel:
"Hint: Attacked by the Pirate Gunship II (Medium), deal 244 Kinetic Impact damage to the Industrial Ship's Energy Shield."
"Hint: Attacked by the Pirate Gunship II Electromagnetic Cannon (Medium), deal 248 Kinetic Impact damage to the Industrial Ship's Energy Shield."
The frigate immediately stopped and slid away, slowly turning around and heading out, while ordering the industrial ship to approach its side.
Five minutes later, the industrial ship and the frigate passed by, and the two pirate gunboats flying between the meteorites in front of them could be seen on the huge floor-to-ceiling glass of the bridge.
"How can there be wild monsters here?"
Although strange, he was not slow to move, and immediately ordered:
"Naval artillery preparation."
The staff officer sitting behind him immediately issued the order to all the gun positions on the frigate, and the sound of the gunners of each gun position was in place one after another in Li Qing's ears.
The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching, and soon entered his own firing range, Li Qing did not hesitate to order the battleship to fight horizontally, and the muzzles of three electromagnetic guns on one side were aimed at the direction from which the enemy ship came.
The frigate is equipped with three electromagnetic guns and two machine guns in five S small arms slots, of which the range of the third-generation machine gun is only 60 kilometers, and the range of the third-generation electromagnetic gun is as high as 400 kilometers.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three obvious sky-breaking trajectories pierced the void and hit the pirate gunboat on the right, and a transparent film of light appeared out of thin air some distance from the hull of the ship to stop the cannonball, exploding three flames and three ripples.
"Hint: When your third-generation Electromagnetic Cannon hits a Pirate Gunship, it deals 120 + 25% shield adjustment = 150 Kinetic Impact damage to the target's energy shield."
"Hint: When your third-generation Electromagnetic Cannon hits a Pirate Gunship, it deals 110 + 25% shield adjustment = 138 Kinetic Impact damage to the target's energy shield."
"Hint: When your third-generation Railgun hits a Pirate Gunship, it deals 114 + 25% shield modifier = 143 Kinetic Impact damage to the target's energy shield."
With three hints in a row, it was obvious that the shield of the pirate gunboat on the opposite side was slightly distorted, and at the same time, after dealing damage to the target, the attributes of the pirate gunboat also appeared in front of him.
Pirate Gunship (Artillery Core - Modified): A common corvette for pirates.
Attribute:
Base hull: 1000
Basic armor: 500 + porcelain gold armor (small) 400 * 3 = 1200 armor points.
Basic Shield: 500 + Generation Energy Shield (Small) 500*2 = 1000 Shield Points.
Base speed: 120000 km / h
Default Tactic: Swarm Tactic.
Fleet slot size: 1.
Artillery Core (default)
Components: Energy Core, Tachyon Elements, Thrusters, Probes, Combat Computer.
Weapon slots: M1, S4.
Universal slots: S5, A1.
The weapons are all second-generation electromagnetic guns, but there is one slot that is a second-generation electromagnetic gun (medium).
At the moment when he opened fire, the two medium-sized electromagnetic cannons of the two pirate gunboats were already ready, only to see two air-breaking trajectories crossed, Li Qing obviously felt that the battleship shook twice, and the energy shield instantly dropped by nearly five hundred points.
However, the five general slots of his frigate are equipped with three third-generation energy shields, each of which can add an additional 1000 points of shield energy, three increase 3000, plus the battleship base 1000, a total of 4000 shield energy, which can carry eight or nine waves.
But he is not a fool, it is impossible to carry it head-on, and after a wave of attempts, Li Qing immediately ordered:
"Tactical detour, approaching target number one."
The opponent is fully equipped with long-range electromagnetic guns, and only three electromagnetic guns will definitely suffer from long-range bombardment, so they can only rush into the combat range of the machine guns and use the ultra-fast rate of fire of the machine guns to quickly defeat the opponent.
If Li Qing's tactic is not easy to implement in the open space, the wild monsters also have simple AI, and they will also know how to use their own advantages.
But in the asteroid belt full of meteorites, as soon as the battleship drilled into the meteorite group, the enemy's long-range electromagnetic cannon was difficult to aim, so he could only chase him to engage in battle.
Li Qingzheng sat precariously, staring at the radar scanning screen, too many meteorites blocked, and the enemy ships scanned on the radar screen appeared and disappeared from time to time, but he could determine the general orientation of the two pirate gunboats, and even super high perception, mind and spirit, so that he could think calmly, simulate the nearby battlefield terrain in his mind, directly simulate the situation that may be encountered next, and then simulate the battle in combination with different situations.
It's a magical state that normally only a combat computer can do when it collects enough information, but it can do it with a human brain alone.
Of course, this is also a small combat range, if it is a large-scale battle, the number of warships is too large, or the opponent is too many variables, he will not be able to simulate.
But it's already strong, and it's completely overkill against the monsters.
PS: The corvette attributes have been readjusted, whichever is now
