Chapter 15: A Chance Encounter with a Looted Caravan
The fact is that when this T5 frigate was launched, Fang Chen's monster farming efficiency skyrocketed.
One or two monsters don't need to stop and attack while going around, leaving a pile of wreckage behind after two laps.
In the past, a small group of pirates who saw more than a dozen ships did not dare to go up at all, but now they rushed forward without hesitation, and they didn't even need to fly kites, they just stood head-on.
After all, the T5 class frigates are not only higher in attack, but also in higher defense.
Level 5 Energy Shield (Small): Activates an energy shield that protects against enemy fire.
Shield Energy: 2000 points.
Level 5 Energy Shield (Medium): Activates an energy shield that protects against enemy fire.
Shield Energy: 4000 HP.
4 medium and 12 small universal slots, half armor and half shield, that is, an additional 20,000 armor and shield, plus hull base attributes, T5 class frigates have up to 6,000 hull, 26,000 armor and 26,000 shields.
The strength of this hull, with the firepower of the T1-level small arms of the wild monsters, it takes a long time to stand still.
Pure technology crushed, a wave of standing ended, and the capital ship in the front row was not even broken by the shield.
From this, it can be seen how big the gap is between the heroes from the family and the ordinary people, and when you sign a contract with the family, you start with a T5-level frigate, which is worth more than five years of hard work by players from ordinary backgrounds.
No one supports it, and I don't know how long it will take to dig the mine in the early stage to get together the billion funds for ordering the T5 frigate.
From this, it can be seen how perverted the super intelligent brain of the universe in his palm is, and it only takes five days to deduce a set of blueprints for T5-level frigates, which is simply ..... It's so cool!
The only thing that constrained him now was the dockyard, and the problem of funding.
There are not so many docks, and the capacity is not enough.
There is not so much money, and if you build too much, you will not be able to support it for a while and a half.
Mining is not enough, you must have your own fixed foundation, or fixed funding channels.
The most profitable thing is to have a living planet like warlords of all sizes, establish their own territories, and collect taxes continuously.
Only with a living planet, the population that breeds on it can obtain the Mandate of Heaven and complete the body of the law of data to become a hero, which is the so-called player.
With a large number of heroes, there will always be some people who want to get ahead, they will enter the starry sky, earn resources and money to form their own fleet or force, whether it is mining or doing business, as long as they are within the territory of the tax.
This is the source of money.
In addition, there must be some mineral deposits within the territory, as long as they are occupied, it is also a steady stream of income.
The so-called mineral deposit refers to the mineral site that can be constantly renewed.
Just like the crystalline meteorite mine that Fang Chen dug before, it is not refreshed under normal circumstances, and once it is dug up, it will be gone.
However, whether they have been dug up or not, some ore sites will be regenerated in the same place after a period of time, thus accumulating a large amount of ore, which is called mineral deposits, which are one of the most valuable resource points in the starry sky.
A steady stream of mines like this will naturally attract many forces to compete for, and even NPC forces will compete if they find out.
The only pity is that there are too few such mineral deposits, even if the Danxia Fang clan occupies such a large area, few mineral deposits have not been found.
Fortunately, for the current Fang Chen, the economic crisis is not imminent, even if the remaining four T5 frigates are all built, the money he has saved now is enough for maintenance fees, but if he wants to get richer, mining alone will definitely not work.
He took a look at the cosmic warehouse in his palm, and collected a total of 130,000 tons of limestone and 15,000 tons of gneiss in two months, with a total value of only 4.6 million.
This money is only a few months' maintenance fee, and if you want to get even a T1-class frigate, you have to dig it for several years.
"This is too unprofitable, just stay in another boat and leave."
Next, as before, I looked for wild monsters every day.
Although it is a repetitive thing every day, it is still a good feeling to watch my combat experience brush up, the level continues to rise, and the experience level of the crew on the ship also skyrockets.
I don't feel much when the level is at a low level, but when I reach level seven or eight or above, the accumulated bonus is still considerable.
When the basic naval skill is upgraded to LV8, it can increase the speed of the fleet under command by 24% and the weapon damage by 16%, which is very powerful.
It's a pity that there are not a few good skill chips in hand, which are sold on the market, but most of them are skills with fixed attributes that cannot be upgraded, and there are not many bonuses.
He didn't buy it before, but he can buy a little bit next time he returns, and he can buy more if the bonus is not much, he now has 20 skill slots, which are quite impressive when stacked.
Before he knew it, another month later, Fang Chen, who had already killed millions of kilometers away in one go, was about to return to the mining site, and the battleship came out of the asteroid belt and returned along the edge of the asteroid belt.
Just passing by a huge meteorite, suddenly the battleship's radar scanned that there was combat information in the direction of eleven o'clock.
After a quick directional scan, he saw on the light curtain in front of him that two fleets were fighting at the edge of the meteorite group more than 4,000 kilometers away.
The radar light curtain showed that on one side was a group of wild monster pirates, with a total size of more than forty ships, and two destroyers inside, and on the other side was a small caravan, with a total of twelve large and medium-sized transport ships, and seven frigates, the specific level of which was unknown.
Not long after Fang Chen scanned it, he received an unknown communication:
"Brother in front, I am here in the fleet of Wuhe Trading House, and I am being besieged by a group of pirates, come and take a hand to sink a T1-class gunboat for 200,000, a T2-class gunboat for 500,000, and if I can sink a destroyer for 2 million."
Fang Chen, who was hesitating, suddenly had a clear eye, and immediately replied:
"Yes, send me a contract."
In less than five seconds, a communication was received, and by the way, there was an electronic contract, which was the same as just said.
Fang Chen glanced at it and immediately signed.
Then sent a message to the other side:
"I'll go around from the left."
The battleship accelerated rapidly, and the T5-class frigate rushed over as fast as possible, and when it was more than a thousand kilometers away from the battlefield, two medium-sized laser cannons began to charge, and a series of two muffled sounds hooked a gunboat over.
By the time they were within range of the gunboats, the capital ship had already fired a salvo, and the second T3 frigate had already followed with a salvo.
Then, as he had done in previous months, a second salvo hit the gunboat, tearing off layers of armor and revealing the internal hull structure.
In the third round of bombardment, it was torn apart on the spot.
"200,000 in hand!"
Fang Chen was very enthusiastic, and immediately looked for a second target after bombarding a ship.
There is a caravan that has caught the main force of pirates, and there are not many who can separate and besiege him, so they can deal with it calmly.
And he pulled a group of pirates on his side, and the pressure on the caravan side was a little less.
"Boom!"
A caravan frigate was fired into a salvo by the main guns of a pirate destroyer, and the battleship, which was already scarred and even had its armor torn apart, was directly blown in two.
At the same time, a volley of caravan blasted a pirate gunboat in two.
They don't know how long they have been fighting, but now they are all scarred, four of the remaining six frigates in the caravan have had their shields broken, and most of the armor plates covering the hull have been torn, which looks extremely miserable.
