Under his precise control, with the help of a powerful memory simulated battlefield, the frigate used different meteorites to cover its figure, and quietly touched a meteorite more than 400 meters before the battleship went sideways.

About a minute later, a pirate gunboat flew out from behind the meteorite, and the frigate hidden behind the meteorite was not found.

"Fire!"

At the sound of an order, three electromagnetic guns and two machine guns were ready to shoot shells at the same time.

The electromagnetic cannon fires a round, the automatic loader on the gun position is rhythmically ejecting the stored metal electromagnetic cannonballs, the electronic scanning determines that the shells are no problem, and the conveyor belt is transmitted to the gun position, and then scans again before loading into the gun magazine, and then fills the gun port, and then fires again after aiming at the target, with an interval of 25 seconds.

However, this is only the theoretical maximum speed, and in actual combat, whether your own warship will move, the enemy's warship will also move, and in addition to various interferences in the rapidly changing battlefield, it is actually difficult to achieve the theoretical maximum launch speed.

But there is no such problem with machine guns, the shells of this weapon are like bullets, and a whole base of 5,000 shells are connected to the machine gun for an ammunition box, which can be fired continuously like a machine, but the speed is not as fast as that of a machine gun, and one is fired in about two seconds.

After capturing this pirate gunboat under Li Qing's order, the frigate clung to it and kept the distance between the two sides at about twenty or thirty kilometers, and the two machine guns continued to spit out shells, constantly making pits on the energy shield on the surface of the pirate gunboat.

The damage of the third-generation Rain Cannon is 25-30, the range is 60 km, and the modifier is the same as the Railgun, +25% shield damage and -50% armor damage.

The two fires broke through the pirate gunship's not strong energy shield in just a dozen seconds, and countless bullets hit the pirate gunship's thick armor, sparks flew everywhere.

Although the Kinetic Bullet has a 50% damage reduction modifier on the armor, he can't keep up with the gun's rate of fire, chasing and dumping firepower, while he also has free time to control the battleship to use the enemy ship and the surrounding meteorites to evade the attack of another pirate gunboat.

Although the commander of the pirate gunboat sensed that something was wrong and wanted to get rid of this situation, this ordinary monster warship could not compare to him in terms of configuration and commander skills, and no matter how he avoided it, he couldn't get rid of him.

War is the best catalyst, and in this kind of actual battle, the experience of both naval command skills and frigate operation skills rises very quickly, much faster than usual.

Killing a pirate gunship, the frigate's energy shield still has more than a thousand shield values, and almost without a pause, he turned around and killed another pirate gunboat that had been chasing him for so long just now.

Carrying the bombardment of five electromagnetic cannons on the pirate gunboat, three third-generation electromagnetic guns and two machine guns, until the battleship's energy shield was broken, and the thick alloy armor was blown to pieces, sinking the last pirate gunboat in a way that almost lost both sides.

Carefully counting the damage of the battleship, Li Qing couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth:

"YY, hundreds of thousands are gone."

The energy shield can be reactivated when it is gone, but it requires a standard energy block to reactivate the charge, which is 100,000 star yuan.

This is the minimum standard, even if the shield of a battleship is gone, it needs at least one energy block to be reactivated, if there is enough time to let it slowly recharge and recover, if there is still a combat mission that needs to be quickly recharged, a large amount of energy block must be consumed to replenish directly.

It is worth mentioning that if the energy shield is not completely broken, even if there are only a few energy shield values left, it can be slowly recovered by relying on the battleship's reactor after the war, without the need for additional energy blocks.

Only when the shield is completely broken will the energy block need to be reactivated.

In addition, the damaged armor needs to be repaired, and the potholes blown up by the electromagnetic shells are repaired one by one with alloy materials, and the labor cost is forgotten, and you can only do it yourself here, but the material cost is estimated to cost tens of thousands of star dollars.

In addition, this battle consumed a total of 33 electromagnetic artillery shells, one 1,500 star yuan, a total of 49,500 yuan.

A total of 320 machine guns were fired, and one shell was 150 star yuan, for a total of 48,000 star yuan.

Ammunition consumption is normal, after all, not every shot hits the target.

Taken together, the ammunition consumption alone in this battle is 97,500 star yuan, plus the maintenance cost of at least 150,000 yuan for a piece of energy block, and the total loss is about 250,000+.

The results of the battle are very amazing, after cleaning the battlefield, no spare parts drawings were exposed, only 7 wreckage, and the tattered price of each wreckage sold to the recycler was 110 star yuan, a total of 770 star yuan, and the blood loss was 250,000 yuan.

Yes, this is the harvest of normal war, if there are no ship accessories or drawings or anything, there will only be blood loss.

Although the fight is fierce, these two pirate gunboats are indeed the simplest wild monsters, which is equivalent to seeing two slimes in the novice village in the game, and it is quite unrealistic for such a wild monster to expect a big explosion.

And this is the norm, it is impossible to explode at every turn.

With some emotion, he consumed a standard energy block to reactivate the shield and continued mining.

Half a day later, the battleship shield slowly and automatically regained its integrity, and he also collected an unknown number of tons of ore-bearing meteorites into the universe in his palm in this half day.

The mining ship under his command spent most of the day slowly cutting the meteorite, crushing it into small pieces, and then putting the ore-bearing meteorite into the mining ship, which was only half of the cabin, and the efficiency was not much worse.

Li Qingmo estimated that he used the universe in his palm to collect meteorites one by one, not counting the large number of useless rocks in the meteorite, the capacity of the simple collection was thousands of times that of the mining ship, if the useless rocks in the large number of meteorites were removed, the efficiency was estimated to be hundreds of times that of a small mining ship, which was equivalent to hundreds of small mining ships mining.

And this is not his limit, because of his own lack of strength, he is afraid of attracting wild monsters roaming in the asteroid belt, so he doesn't dare to make much movement at all.

According to the optimal plan he envisioned, if there is a cruiser, or a high-power concussion bomb is prepared, he can put a blast in the center of the meteorite group, causing a large number of meteorites to collide and move, and then open the cosmic channel in his palm to swallow the moving meteorite, then the efficiency is the highest.

It's a pity that the cosmic channel in the palm of your hand can only be opened, and it can't produce attraction, otherwise it is better to swallow it directly on the spot.

Li Qing did not wait for half a day for the mining ship to be filled before going back, and directly left the mining ship to mine in place, and drove the frigate back to the base first.

Back above the base, a black hole was opened directly above the edge of the base, and a large number of ore-bearing meteorites that were halfway shattered into the size of a standard basin by the power of the universe in the palm of their hands flew out of the black hole, and were piled up at the bottom edge of the annular crater under the influence of the small gravitational pull of the satellite, and a large amount of accumulated dust was raised to cover the entire base.

It was a real mountain that soon exceeded the depth of the crater and spread out of the crater.

About half of it was released and it didn't continue to be put out, and there was no place to pile it up if it was put down again.

Then turn on the ore crushing screening and refining equipment, two ten-meter-high handling robots modified by mining robots will move the basin-sized meteorites to the entrance of the ore crusher, and in a rumbling sound, the basin-sized meteorites are smashed and then diverted and screened.

The rock is spit out to one side, and the screened raw ore is distributed on a conveyor belt on the other side, where it is sent directly to a refinery not far away.

The so-called refining furnace is not to directly refine the raw ore into high-purity ore, but to purify the raw ore.

For example, the raw iron ore is crushed, the iron ore is extracted and smelted, the impurities are removed, and the pieces or pig iron ingots containing a large number of impurities can be directly smelted.

The next step is to make steel, or add other components to make various alloys, which is the business of the alloy foundry, and the equipment here cannot do it.

However, in the future, if he has the capital, the interior of the high-dimensional fortress of the star witness in the universe in his palm can be repaired a little, and he will also build a base in it, and establish a set of industrial production lines to produce various industrial finished products, which is much more profitable than selling raw materials.

The normal standard iron ore price is 15 star yuan, but if it can be sold for 150 star yuan after refining, but the actual iron ore refining degree is definitely not ten times worse, one more process, not only the raw iron ore occupies a lot less space, but also earns more.

The only problem is that the output is not high, a complete set of equipment is fully operational 24 hours a day, and the total output is less than 10,000 square meters.

It is also necessary to deduct the machine rest and routine maintenance time, even if the output is 8,000 square meters a day, it will be 240,000 square meters a month, and one side is 150 star yuan, which is 36 million.

Of course, this is a case where the calculation is all iron ore and no other high-value ores, but there is not much difference, the most meteorite belts are indeed iron ore, and the other ore types together are not more than half of iron ore.

"So, the problem now is that there are too many mines, but the output can't keep up."

"I remember that there seem to be a few players in this galaxy who have set up a base, and they will visit it in a few days to see if they can buy a set of equipment or two."

And now, of course, the repair of the corvette.

Li Qing selected a few configurations from the many skill chips he had purchased before, namely engineering, mechanics, industrial theory, maintenance system theory, hull reinforcement theory, armor reinforcement theory, energy shield strengthening theory, frigate construction research, frigate long-distance maintenance theory, frigate modification theory, mining ship construction research, industrial ship construction research, transport ship construction research, and outpost construction theory, a total of fourteen skills.

It covers the construction of warships from theory to practice, as well as repair and maintenance and other related disciplines.

Anyway, there are enough brain slots, there are a full 20, and if you don't have enough brain slots when you want to learn other battleship building skills in the future, you can take out the skill chips that you don't use first, and then change them back when you don't use them.

The whole fourteen skills are only part of the battleship construction and maintenance system, and normal players don't have so many brains to learn so many skills, and most of them can only choose to specialize in one aspect.

When it came to real maintenance, Li Qing learned another skill of manipulating a maintenance robot, otherwise he would not be able to control a ten-meter-high maintenance robot.

The maintenance of this frigate is simple, but the armor has been blown out of some potholes, and the armor material is melted down to repair the potholes, which contains welding technology, but there is no special welding skills, but a series of other maintenance skills are included in the theoretical skills of the airframe maintenance system.

Ten times the experience bonus, coupled with the super high innate attributes, let him get started quickly, one maintenance is equivalent to dozens of repairs, and several skills have changed from level zero to level one on the spot.

It's a pity that many theoretical skills require professional knowledge, not that you can improve it directly, so you can only download some more professional knowledge next time you go back to Jinmen and take the time to take a look.

With his current memory attributes, he can basically do ten lines at a glance, never forget it, give one back to three, and quickly digest knowledge.

After repairing the frigate, he tossed around in the base for a few more days, repainting the exposed exterior walls of the base, regrinding the wear and tear generated by the maintenance robots, and repainting the appearance of the ore crushing, screening and refining equipment placed outside, accumulating a small amount of experience.

"Too little."

The base has just been completed, and it is still very new, and I can't fix it if I want to.

Standing inside the base and looking at the frigate moored above for a long time, he finally sighed and gave up the idea of using the sentry guns of the base guards to attack the battleship to gain experience.

"Take your time."

In the future, there will be a lot of opportunities to farm experience, such as mining ships and mining robots can be maintained once in a round-trip, and later earn money to buy more mining ships or warships, and when the time comes, you can brush often, or even spit out.

The day after the maintenance, Li Qing drove the frigate out of the base and flew towards another asteroid belt outside the galaxy's stars, preparing to find the personal bases of the players in the galaxy.

The inner asteroid belt turned around before, and the player base was not found, and it is estimated that all of them are in the outer ring.

The mining ship does not need to be managed, just mine in a safe area, and if you find the enemy, you can run away directly, and if the mine is full, you can directly transport it back, or let the industrial ship transport it back.

In fact, the industrial ship is a comprehensive ship that integrates transportation, maintenance, haulage, salvage, engineering and other functions, and the transportation capacity is not as good as that of a professional transport ship, but it is stronger than a mining ship, and this kind of ship can also tow large containers for long-distance transportation, which is very easy to use.

The frigate ran directly to the asteroid belt in the outer circle of the galaxy at sub-light speed, and then contacted the player named Yang Yunbo who had seen it before.

Not long after the communication was connected, a young man with a loyal face appeared on the light curtain, he saw Li Qing stunned for a moment, and the next second he seemed to remember with a sudden expression, beckoning:

"Brother, has your base been built?"

Li Qing nodded:

"It's been built less than a week ago."

"Where is it built? Inner Ring or Outer Ring? ”

"Inner Ring."

"It's okay there, there are a lot of iron mines over there, stable."

"By the way, where are you now, I want to visit you."

Yang Yunbo had a happy face and said:

"Welcome, come here, I'll prepare."

Li Qing immediately received a coordinate, checked the star map, it was not too far away from him, and asked the deputy captain to proofread the coordinates, and the frigate's hyperspace engine began to charge, ready to enter the sub-light state.
