Chapter 5: The Frigate Arrives
But precisely because it is the Zhong'an region, there are too many people mixed here, and the valuable rich mining area is either occupied by the big forces or dug up, and it is basically impossible to get rich here.
In addition, more than 500 galaxies in the surrounding area are the power radiation area of the Danxia Fang's clan, which is commonly known as the low-security area.
The low-security area does not often send fleets to suppress monsters, so there are many wild monsters, and a large number of pirates, criminal syndicates, and even powerful rebels are active in this star field.
But correspondingly, this area is more abundant in resources, and some remote and dangerous places are occupied by NPC forces, and there are powerful teams such as rich interests to excavate.
At the same time, this area is also an area where small and medium-sized teams and studios are active, and it is not far from the base of these teams.
The area that Fang Chen is going to go to at the first stop is the Zhong'an area, where he can mine some mines and make a little money first, and the most important thing is to get one or two T5-level frigates first and then have a certain strength, so he will consider going to the low-security area.
There is no way, he can make a lot of money in the early stage, and he doesn't have the ability to do it now.
Mining is the easiest way to make money in the early stage, as long as you are diligent and spend some time, you can always accumulate a certain amount of capital.
Fang Chen walked around Danxiaxing's trading channel and found a sub-channel where exclusive mining and brick moving players were active, which was full of small team studios or individuals mining and moving bricks.
In the past, moving bricks referred to the act of converting various harvests into in-game currency.
In the new universe, there are also many heroes from civilian backgrounds who have to do some hard work to move bricks to accumulate funds in order to accumulate initial funds in the early stage.
The most common is mining, doing tasks.
With a little strength, you can take on the task and dig some simple graves.
If the strength is a little stronger, you can receive a reward, or robbery, smuggling, etc., anyway, the stronger the strength, the faster the money, of course, there is also the possibility of accidentally losing the bottom of the day.
Although the rules of the new universe are digitized, like a game, it is not a real game, and things like battleships are consumables, and once they are destroyed and sunk in battle, they are really gone.
A frigate is hundreds of millions, and it sank and was all lost.
Unless you buy an insurance in advance, you can generally pay at least 10% and up to 30% according to the level of the individual in the insurance company.
In addition, if you can join a faction, such as a studio, a medium and large team, or a legion, you can also get a different amount of damage according to the strength of the force and your position in the force.
There is a big difference in the amount of loss reporting, only 5% can be reported for those who have no capital, about 10%-20% for rich teams, and 30% or even 40% for some top teams or core executives in the legion.
Combined with insurance, up to 70% of the loss can be reported.
It is equivalent to a ship that if it is worth 100 million, insurance plus power can report the loss, and 70% of the cost can be recovered, which is already very good.
Fang Chen walked around this sub-channel, noting down the contact information of several studios and businessmen who seemed to have a good reputation, and if you needed anything at that time, or if you wanted to dock the team, you could find them.
In the afternoon of the same day, Fang Chen purchased two small mining ships, 20 unmanned mining robots, and two sets of ore refining equipment all delivered to the warehouse he designated.
After receiving it, he entered the warehouse and opened the universe in his palm, and collected all the equipment into it.
Then I went to the Danxia Star Civil Ship Captain Academy, and recruited two mining ship captains, as well as a group of ore refining equipment operators, and a group of first-class robots dedicated to mine work.
These Level 1 mining robots have only a few basic skills, all of which are adapted to work in the mine, including equipment operation and ore transportation.
After doing this, it cost him more than two million.
On the third day, Fang Chen received a message from the shipyard that the frigate had been allocated.
He immediately went to the shipyard and saw that the frigate had risen from the dock and floated forward slowly.
Li Lu, the business manager of the shipyard, pointed to the slowly sliding frigate in front of him, and said to Fang Chen:
"The battleship has been tried, all weapons and accessories are in good condition, the default of the battleship is the escort module, in order to save ammunition costs, the default weapons are all laser cannons, if you want to add kinetic electromagnetic guns, or change to missile cores, you need to spend money to reconfigure."
"No problem, the laser cannon is the laser cannon."
Just like he said, energy weapons save ammunition, and more importantly, save space.
If you use an electromagnetic gun, you need to prepare a large number of metal warheads.
If you use a missile core, you need a large number of missiles that take up more space.
The frigate was not very large in the first place, and there was not much ammunition in storage.
It's easy to use energy, a compressed energy block contains enough energy to fire hundreds of cannons from the frigate's small arms.
He watched as the ship left the dock and glided forward until it came to a halt on a flat ground in front of the dock, then the bottom hatch opened and landed on the ground, where two groups of clone crews lined up down the slope in two rows at the bottom of the ship, several officers and a captain following closely behind.
At this time, Li Lu said to him with a smile:
"Dear commander, please come aboard!"
Fang Chen came to the bottom of the battleship, and the two rows of clones gave him a military salute in unison, shouting loudly:
"Welcome back to the ship, Your Excellency the Commander!"
He bowed as well, and walked from the middle to the entrance to the belly of his ship.
The five officers and captains standing at the door saluted him again, and the central captain said in a loud voice:
"The captain of the frigate, Li Zhengjun, reports to His Excellency the commander!"
Fang Chen saluted back again and entered the battleship surrounded by them.
To be honest, this was the first time Fang Chen had entered the battleship, and he was still his own battleship.
The position now entered is located in the middle of the battleship, which is also the central core position of the battleship, in front of which is the battleship command bridge, in the back is the crew quarters, warehouses, etc., and on the left and right is the combat area and ammunition area.
Although it is a frigate, the specifications are not small, and the interior space is quite large.
The battleship is all alloy casting, which looks very strong.
Fang Chen, accompanied by the captain, walked around his battleship, especially the battleheads and gun positions of the battleship, which were the key inspection areas.
When he came to the bridge, he also got the specific information of his frigate.
