The battleship slowly sailed away from the shipyard and into space.

Fang Chen sat in the command seat in the center of the bridge, with the captain on the left and the deputy captain on the left.

There are a few vacant seats on the right, which is the position of the commander's staff committee, but he is now a frigate, and there is no staff group, which is temporarily empty.

In front of him was a huge curtain of light, on which several pieces were cut out, and different aspects could be controlled and understood at the same time.

The battleship left the shipyard and anchored near the space station, and after waiting for a while, two mining ships slowly sailed over, and two mining ship captains appeared in front of him on the light curtain:

"Your Excellency, Commander, the number one mining ship is in place!"

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the second mining ship is in place!"

Fang Chen nodded and said:

"Follow the ship and enable follow mode."

After confirming that the mining ship had followed, he looked at Li Zhengjun, the captain of the frigate on the left, and nodded:

"Ready to go!"

Li Zhengjun nodded and said in a deep voice:

"The fleet is ready to start, accelerate in the direction of 5 o'clock!"

The frigate restarts and heads in one of the directions of the system.

At this time, Fang Chen stretched out his hand and touched the light curtain in front of him, and the captains of one battleship and two mining ships appeared on the light curtain in front of him, and he ordered in a deep voice:

"The jump engines of the No. 1 and No. 2 mining ships are ready to warm up, and in five minutes they will start charging, and the coordinates are scheduled for the DX-D-55 system!"

"Battleship One's jump engine is ready to warm up, and in fifteen minutes it will start charging, and the coordinates are scheduled for the DX-D-55 system!"

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

Time passed, and a prompt soon appeared on the light curtain in front of Fang Chen's eyes that the jump engines of the two mining ships had begun to recharge.

The reason why we don't start the jump together is because the mining ship uses a civilian jump engine, and the charging speed is not as fast as the military jump engine, so you need to prepare in advance if you want to jump together simultaneously.

About twenty minutes later, the battleship that had accelerated to a certain point suddenly shook slightly, and Fang Chen saw that everything in front of him had turned into a streamer.

In the transition state, the ship appears to be stationary, but the crew inside can't do anything.

I don't know how long it took, but as the spaceship shook slightly, the streamer in front of me disappeared steeply, and the spaceship appeared in another starry sky.

Radar sensors immediately scanned his surroundings in front of him, and in the upper corner of the light curtain there was a row of data full of scanned things.

A space station, forty or fifty ships of various sizes, battleships, mining ships, and transport ships.

"That's right!"

Fang Chen's scheduled coordinates were the space station in the center of the DX-D-55 galaxy, a starport-level space station.

There are four levels of space stations, from low to high, they are Outposts, Star Harbors, Star Fortresses, and Star Fortresses.

The outpost is the smallest, and there are no facilities inside, and even a few ships cannot be moored, and they are generally only used to assert sovereignty.

Any force that wants to claim sovereignty over the system will build an outpost-level space station in the orbit of the central star of the galaxy, which means that the system belongs to me.

Anyone who dares to attack this outpost represents a declaration of war against this power.

And Starport is an upgraded version of the outpost, which not only has a larger specification, but also has not weak combat effectiveness.

Generally speaking, starports will only be found in some important intersection galaxies, or in systems rich in mineral resources, and there will be garrisons to provide nearby players with services such as supplies, warehouses, repairs, ore refining or acquisition.

Further up is the Star Fortress, also known as the Star Fortress, whose standard specifications are 20 kilometers * 20 kilometers in length and width, and 15 kilometers in height, which is larger than a city in general.

Star Castles are generally only built in very important locations and are the main force extension of any power.

Generally, the Star Castle will have a large number of garrisons, which contain all the facilities of the space station, even the bank, insurance and market, and it is also a gathering place for many players.

Above the Star Castle is the Star Fortress.

This kind of is rare, mainly difficult to build, not only the whole set of blueprints is rare, but the cost is also exaggerated.

Let's put it this way, a standard interstellar fortress specification is 250 kilometers long and wide, and more than 150 kilometers high, how many resources does it need to consume to build such a huge size?

Such a huge interstellar fortress can only be built by extremely powerful forces.

The entire Danxia Fang clan ruled such a huge territory, accumulated for thousands of years, and built an interstellar fortress, and the surrounding forces extended the star field without a second interstellar fortress-level space station, only a few starburg-level space stations radiating the periphery.

The DX-D-55 galaxy is not geographically advantageous, and the reason why there is a starport here is mainly because there are three asteroid belts in this galaxy, which is a very good mining galaxy.

The first asteroid belt is located in an area of just over 70 million kilometers from the star, and because of its proximity, it is also called the inner ring belt.

The second asteroid belt is located in the center of the star system.

The third asteroid belt is located at the very edge of the star system, approaching the edge of the gravitational well.

It is extremely rare for a galaxy to have three asteroid belts, and the thousands of galaxies near Danxia Star are unique.

The three rings of asteroids and meteorites contain a large amount of ore, attracting a large number of brick movers and studios to come to mine, and at the peak of hundreds of years ago, a galaxy gathered hundreds of thousands of mining ships, including the Danxia Fang clan to establish a dozen huge mining bases here.

With such a frenzied gathering, no matter how many resources are emphasized.

Later, after the high-value ore was mined, many mining fleets left, and more than a dozen mining bases were also dismantled.

Fortunately, according to the rules of the new universe, these mines will be constantly refreshed like monsters in the starry sky, although they are not as many as they have accumulated before, but they are still an excellent mining galaxy.

Fang Chen moored the ship near the star harbor, sent an identification signal to the control tower, and registered it.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you register or not, after all, it is a Zhong'an area, and few pirate players dare to come here to rob, mainly to seek peace of mind, and to save some taxes.

Mining in the Zhong'an area controlled by the Danxia Fang clan is subject to taxes.

The normal tax is 15%, which means 15% of the total value of the ore collected, and if the Danxia Fang clan is at war with other warlord forces, the tax will be temporarily increased during wartime.

But Fang Chen is a member of the Fang clan, even if he doesn't sign a contract, he is still his own clan, there is a great discount, he only needs to pay 5% tax, and he saves most of it.

If you are a contracted clansman, you don't need to pay a dime in tax.

After completing the registration, he led the fleet out of the starport and flew towards the second ring belt in the center of the galaxy.

The first ringbelt is too close to the star and too hot.

The third ring belt is too far from the star and too cold, only the middle ring belt is best.

I didn't see any ships along the way, not even the shadow of the monster ship.

In an important galaxy like this with a starport, there is usually a small fleet stationed there, and the daily task is to clear the fleet of wild monsters that have been refreshed in the galaxy to ensure the safety of mining players.

Otherwise, why should they collect taxes, just because they provide a safe mining environment for ordinary brick movers, it is worth collecting this tax.
