After deducting about 2 billion salaries for two years, he can net 37 billion in two years, and this income alone is enough for him to maintain a fleet of a certain size.

Coupled with the fact that every time I return to the Jinmen system, I make a wave of business by the way, and the money I make from the expanding mining base....

Well, when the base can directly smelt the alloy in one step, expand the alloy output, and even save a large part of the cost of materials for building ships at that time.

You must know that the most demanded material for battleships is the alloy for building the hull and armor, if the alloy can be self-sufficient, it can save at least one and a half percent of the cost, just the battleship blueprint and materials he has on hand is 5 billion + additional income.

"Well, it's okay to develop at this speed!"

It is the most difficult time to make the first pot of gold at any time, and when you get through the early accumulation stage, you will make money much faster later.

didn't stay in Jinmen for long, and when all the ordered materials were delivered to the designated warehouse one by one, and then stored in the warehouse in the universe in the palm of their hands, Li Lie and the others were almost ready.

It may be the last time to run the business, and they also took out all the capital this time, and all the money they earned before was invested in the loan, and nearly 400 billion star yuan of goods were wholeed.

In addition to this, they did not know where to match, found a large caravan ready to go to the outpost, and the two sides agreed to charge 3% of the total price of the caravan's goods.

"The First Evolution"

After seeing Li Qing open the passage and put a super-large transport ship into the universe in his palm, and after a while, another galaxy was released, and the caravan leader's eyes suddenly lit up, but Li Qing directly said before he spoke that he would not be a professional businessman, except for a trip to Jinmen every once in a while, he would not usually make money from this, which directly dispelled the mind of the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce.

For this kind of chamber of commerce, his mode of transportation is safe, cheap, and fast.

But for those businessmen who eat the bowl of rice of transportation and escort, he is directly smashing their rice bowls, and he will definitely not rest with him.

Maybe with the support of the Chamber of Commerce, it will be not afraid, but it will be troublesome.

Plus he didn't want to be a professional businessman himself, so...

The total value of the materials that this chamber of commerce named Yu Qi originally planned to transport was only about 900 billion, but after seeing Li Qing show the throughput capacity of the universe in his palm, he temporarily increased the total amount of transportation, increasing to about 1.5 trillion goods in one go.

According to the agreement, he can get 3% of the total value of the goods, that is, 45 billion star dollars.

You get 30% of the money before you leave, another 30% when you arrive at the outpost system, and all the money after unloading the cargo.

30% of 45 billion stars is 13.5 billion dollars.

With so much money, Li Qing easily ordered two medium-sized steel refining furnaces and two medium-sized alloy furnaces, spending a total of 4.4 billion star yuan.

and spent 1 billion Star Dollars to buy out 10,000 Level 1 clones, and 1.5 billion Star Dollars to buy out 10,000 Level 1 robots, and most of the skills loaded for them are basic base maintenance and colony-related skills.

And then, there was no more, and all the rest of the money was saved for backup.

Half a month later, a fleet consisting of one battleship and 21 cruisers, 70 destroyers and 300 frigates left the transit base and sailed into the vast sea of stars.

The battleship belonged to the Yuqi Chamber of Commerce, and half of the entire fleet belonged to the Yuqi Chamber of Commerce.

If you escort a caravan with a total value of nearly two trillion, the strength of the fleet is seriously insufficient, and it will definitely be robbed halfway.

But if a pure fleet hits the road, there will be no problems.

A pure fleet is difficult to deal with and no good, even if the pirates see it, they will not intercept it.

There was no danger all the way, and two months later, the fleet arrived at the outpost, released all the caravans of the Chamber of Commerce and Li Lie and others, settled all the payments, and left.

Li Lie, Li Qi and others stayed here to clear the goods, and he went north to return to the team headquarters.

He is going to find a suitable galaxy in the star field a little farther away from the Jialan team to build a mining base, and by the way, get out the industrial systems in the universe in his palm.

It is worth mentioning that but Li Lie and Li Qi followed him during this time to earn money that they couldn't earn in the previous years, plus the spiritual energy he displayed, as well as the magical relics, and now they have become the core members of the team.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he wanted to mess with him.

Li Qing did not refuse, but he did not have enough money in his hands now, and he had no intention of forming a fleet immediately, but just told them to accumulate it first and then form it.

The fleet left the outpost and began to jump, taking four days to return to Castle Garan.

There are not many active players in the headquarters system, most of them are directly subordinate to Yu Yuefei's team, or some small and medium-sized teams in the team, and slightly larger teams have their own things.

The Garan team itself is jointly formed by several large and medium-sized teams, and each large and medium-sized team within the team has its own independent mountain faction, and the largest factions have even established their own team bases far away from the Garan Galaxy, and are operating according to the specifications of the Star Castle.

Obviously, these big teams joined Jialan, either just to pursue beauty, or just to form a group to win a living planet and make a lot of money, and did not think about joining the Jialan team permanently.

Yu Yuefei probably knew this, so she never paid attention to their behavior.

"It's a wonderful team, too!"

But the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, Li Qing thinks so too.

Through the authority of the core members, he obtained the basic situation table of the forty-four galaxies and surrounding galaxies in the Jialan control star field, as well as the power table around the team, Li Qing seriously thought about it and decided not to put his base in the sphere of influence of the Jialan team, but to continue to go north and find a suitable galaxy in the uninhabited star field.

Anyway, his shipyard and warehouse are all in the palm of his hand, and there is only a base and mining ship outside, unlike other players' bases to recycle trouble, his can be recycled at any time.

After a short stay at Jialanxing Fort, Yu Yuefei was not there, and it was estimated that she went back to Jinmen to build a ship with the blueprint of the dreadnought.

There are several other cores in the Star Castle, and he has seen them when he joined the core of the team before, and after a brief chat, the fleet broke away from the Star Castle and continued to go north.

The so-called power control of the star field does not mean that you claim that this galaxy is yours is your sphere of influence, but that you must establish a supply post in the galaxy, and every once in a while, a patrol fleet must be patrolled to form a substantial occupation of the galaxy.

The system around the headquarters of any large team will be controlled for players within the team to build their own mining bases within the system.

However, in the team's control system, all mining and other income must be taxed, depending on the different teams to pay the tax ratio, the minimum is 5%, the maximum is 30%, the wartime tax rate will be raised, if the team falls into the disadvantage in the battle, the team leader has the right to temporarily continue to increase the tax rate, up to 100%.

It may seem unreasonable, but this is a set of tax rates that human civilization has explored in the 10,000 years since it entered the new universe.

After all, the team creates a safe galaxy environment for you to mine without worry, and it makes sense to collect some taxes, right?

When war comes, if the team falls into disadvantage or is even eliminated, the individual players under the protection of the team lose protection, and the loss will be even greater.

Of course, Li Qing chose to go to the wild galaxy to establish a base, of course, not because of this tax, what he had to be levied was only a mining tax, and the money earned through the spaceship trading in the palm of his hand did not have to pay taxes, which had little impact on him.

The main reason for this is that the galaxies around the team are largely saturated.

Although the Jialan team is not a legion, there are quite a few players, and there are only 43 galaxies in the actual control except for the Jialan galaxy, and there are dozens of people in each galaxy, many hundreds, basically saturated, and there are a bunch of people everywhere.

Instead of huddled in a galaxy with a bunch of people, it's better to go outside and find a suitable galaxy and have it alone.

The fleet leaves the Garan system, the jump engine starts, and the jump starts directly, and the second jump has left the team to control the star field.

Five successive jumps in one breath, spanning a distance of one hundred and fifty light-years before stopping, five destroyers appeared on the edge of a gravitational well in an unfamiliar galaxy along with twenty-one frigates and a medium-sized industrial ship.

The fleet rested here for a while, and instead of jumping, it entered the interior of the galaxy with a sub-beam.

This is a very common single star system, a class K orange star, with a mass that looks about the same as the Sun, with seven planets in the galaxy and no asteroid belts.

The fleet just skimmed and went straight through the star system to the gravitational well on the other side, finding the wormhole to cross and leave.

The rest of the journey did not jump, one by one, to find the right galaxy.

His current location was about one hundred and fifty light-years away from the Galan system, which was already more than the other area within the Garland where teams were active, and with the exception of a very small number of Expedition stream players, or a few small and medium-sized teams, there were very few solo players running here.

One galaxy after another, time passed day by day, and soon almost a month passed, unconsciously crossing more than 20 galaxies, and did not find the desired galaxy, but the dock in the universe in the palm of his hand has built a hundred frigates.

Coupled with the two months from Jinmen to the outpost before, as well as the hundred ships in the previous tun, at this time, there were already four hundred frigates in the universe under his palm.

If you go back to the outpost now, you can sell a full 10 billion Star Dollars.

"Buzz!"

The wormhole energy tide exploded, and a destroyer and five frigates emerged from the wormhole.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Qing's main fleet appeared in an unfamiliar galaxy through the wormhole.

"Drop! Drip! ”

Before he could look around, the ship's radar sounded an alarm, detecting a planet 80,000 kilometers away from the fleet, and the alarm sounded from the surface of that planet.

Without his order, the deputy captain of the ship immediately ordered the crew to scan that side intensively, and soon the scanning results appeared in front of Li Qing.

It was a planet about 7,000 kilometers in diameter, with a satellite, and the scan showed that the surface of the planet was covered by a thick layer of ice, but on the surface of that thick ice, a huge architectural outline was scanned.

"How can there be buildings here?"

"Destroyer No. 5 and frigate No. 20 and No. 21 escort the industrial ship to take a look."

The four warships broke away from the fleet and sailed towards the frozen planet, stopping at a distance of about a thousand kilometers from the planet, and a minute later, the real-time scan screen appeared on the light curtain in front of Li Qing.

"Space station wreckage?"

Although covered in thick ice, the battleship scanned it up close and found that it was not an imaginary building, but a huge space station wreckage that crashed into the planet, and then was covered in a thick layer of ice, making it look like a building from a distance.

"Destroyer No. 5 main gun ready!"

Li Qing drew a circle on the edge of the wreckage of the space station on the scan screen, and passed the command to the captain, and as he gave the order, the muzzle of the cannon flashed slightly, and several alloy shells erupted from the muzzle and shot towards the target location.

"Boom, boom!"

Several shock waves covering an area of more than 10 kilometers exploded, and the sky was full of broken ice, which was swept away by the violent hurricane on the surface of the planet to form an ice burst and swept into the distance.

A piece of scrap metal falling from orbit into a planet can form a powerful shock wave, let alone an electromagnetic cannon.

The electromagnetic cannon on the battleship has no special performance in space warfare, but if it bombards the planet, you can immediately intuitively feel how powerful it is, and a cannon is as exaggerated as being bombarded by a nuclear bomb.

A large circle of ice around the wreckage of the space station frozen by the ice was completely blown to pieces, and even the wreckage of the space station was affected, and a large area of ice was torn apart and broken.

Then, the small industrial ship slowly entered the interior of the planet, escorted by two frigates.

Although this frozen planet has an atmosphere, it is very weak, and the planet's gravity is much lower than standard gravity, so a frigate with only one core module in the overall structure can land inside the planet, and a battleship with more than two modules above the destroyer cannot land.

The two frigates used small electromagnetic cannons to blast the ice on the surface of the space station wreckage, and the industrial ship began to scan it at close range, and then transmitted the scanning information to Li Qing through the battleship communication.

In less than an hour, the entire wreckage of the space station was scanned and matched with a fragment of data in the ship's internal database.

This is a space station of the Shata Tribal Alliance.

"How can there be a space station of the Shata Tribal Alliance here?"

Li Qing was a little puzzled.

Although this is not too far from the Shata Tribal Alliance, it is not part of the territory of the Shata Tribal Alliance.

With the outpost as the center and the Shata clan alliance to the east, his current location is nearly 450 light-years northeast of the outpost, theoretically continuing east is the Shata clan union, but in fact there is a strong zone of isolation and interference between the east and northeast of the outpost.

Not only is it covered by a thick nebula, even the Level 5 Jump Engine is unusable, and most of the wormholes connected between galaxies and galaxies on the key side are unstable.

Although the unstable wormhole can also be traversed, there is a high probability that some unforeseen accidents will occur when traversing.

The best outcome is to throw you directly into an unknown galaxy, and at worst to throw you directly into subspace, and it is over.

So....

"Why did the Shata Tribal Federation build a space station on the other side of the barrier? And why give up? ”

Well, to be precise, it was forced to give up, because through scanning, you can see the residual impact debris and energy weapon melt holes on this space station, and metal cannonballs embedded in some places, indicating that this space station did not fall naturally, but was shot down.

So the question is, who shot down this thing?

Li Qing asked the industrial ship to get some fragments and residual metal shells back with a towing beam, and transferred them to the universe in the palm of his hand, ready for the scientists in the laboratory in the warehouse area to study and see the age and metal composition of these wreckage.

As for the wreckage of this space station ....

After circumnavigating the planet and finding no other artificial structures or anything of value, he chose to leave.

Instead of jumping, the fleet shuttles through the galaxy at sub-light speeds, searching for other planets within the system.

However, after several days of circumnavigation, no other space stations were found, and a large anomaly was discovered on one of the moons of one of the gas giants, a large pirate fleet and base with five battleships.

Twelve hours later, the fleet left the system and entered the next system through a wormhole.
