After a complete set of three-level configurations, the total price is close to the price of a frigate. It is less than the previous one but more than the lower one.
Although he still has 100 million star dollars on hand, Li Qing has no idea of modification or enhancement. There is too much money spent in the early stage. The 100 million cannot afford to spend it. There is no extra strengthened warship.
Anyway, he didn’t want to run too far in the early stage. Like most pioneers, the first step was to find a suitable star system for mining near the colony star. He would farm some wild monsters and dig graves if there were any abnormalities. Anyway, Let’s make some money first.
When you have enough money, you will slowly start to add new warships and build a fleet according to your own earning speed.
This is estimated to be a long time. Even if Levi plans to use bugs to make money, he will have to work for a year or two before he can earn a starting capital.
He plans to use the ability of the universe in his hand to store things with a diameter of no more than ten kilometers. When mining, he will directly open the space channel and go to some asteroid belts to collect some floating meteorites containing minerals. In this way, the efficiency of collecting a large amount of ore will definitely be higher than normal mining. much higher.
Entering the frigate, Li Qing first entered the bridge command room, a very empty platform with only one main command seat, two deputy command chairs, and a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror in front of the smooth, mirror-like platform.
Li Qing sat on the command seat and pressed his palms on the armrests. The entire bridge command room suddenly lit up, and at the same time a mechanical voice sounded:
"Reserved commander information detected. Dear Commander Li Qing, do you want to accept the battleship?"
Li Qing replied in a deep voice:
"Yes, I am receiving the battleship now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light fell and enveloped him. You could see a lot of data emerging in the beam. This was the battleship's central control computer collecting his information and comparing it with the battleship's reserved information to determine whether it was correct.
Soon the information collection was completed, and the light beam message came out. A battleship control center light screen popped up in front of him, a LOG appeared on it, and an electronic sound that was slightly crisper than before sounded:
"Hello, distinguished commander, welcome aboard the frigate JM-D-541475!"
Li Qing stretched out his hand and saluted, the LOG disappeared, and the specific parameters of the battleship appeared on the light screen.
He took a look and found that the standard length of the Haiyan-class frigate is 120 meters, 45 meters wide, and 30 meters high, and the overall shape is shuttle-shaped.
At this time, the frigate is in a factory-fresh state and has not seen combat yet. All indicators are in their initial state and can take off for combat at any time.
Provided there are enough crew members.
Yes, he is the only one on the ship now. It is no problem to take off alone, but if it is a battle, it will not work. Later, he will have to go to the crew union to hire a few senior crew members and a group of ordinary crew members, and then buy a batch of weapons, ammunition, and living supplies. Taste.
It is not that easy to raise a warship. Although technology is now advanced, full automation has been achieved long ago. In theory, it can fully automate operations. But in fact, if a warship relies entirely on computers and no combat crew, it will be a piece of junk floating in space. Living coffin.
The reason is simple. Fully automated combat relies on sophisticated electronic equipment. Any pulse bomb or electronic concussion weapon fired by the enemy will affect even the most sophisticated electronic equipment. Even the most advanced combat computers and electronic equipment will fail on the spot.
Therefore, a frigate must have 50 clone crew members, 3 natural human officers, and 1 captain.
Of course, in the early stage when there is only one ship, the player can also be the captain, so this can be temporarily omitted.
Sitting on the command seat of the frigate, Li Qing turned on the regional channel.
A virtual frame pops up in front of you, and the target falls on it. What is displayed is - Jinmen local channel six. Before deciding which channel to enter, the first time you open the video channel, you will automatically enter each branch channel. If you want to enter the specified channel, you need to Select manually again.
As soon as I opened the channel, I saw all kinds of complicated recruitment information:
"Hengguang Trading Group temporarily recruits a team to clear out a new anomaly located in the TY-D-358 galaxy. It requires basic naval command skills of LV5 or above. The remuneration is 20% higher than the international standard, and the international standard battle damage compensation is required."
"Noah Heavy Industries is recruiting an escort fleet to Tianzhu Yi, the capital of Tianzhu Province. It requires large and medium-sized teams with a credit rating of 75 or above. Remuneration is negotiable."
"The Sky Patrol Legion is recruiting a group of new recruits. Both seniors and pure newcomers are welcome. Seniors are required to have past records, and pure newcomers are required to check their innate attributes. Priority will be given to those with blue or above innate talents."
"Green Aviation Studio accepts a group of permanent miners, which require mining skills of LV3 or above, mineral analysis of LV2 or above, space geology of LV3 or above, and more than one mining ship. Specific salary is negotiable."
"Dahan Media Group is recruiting a group of paparazzi, requiring a keen sense of smell of LV2 or above. Training is included. The monthly salary is 5,000+, and bonuses and commissions will be calculated separately."
"Dazhao Financial is recruiting a group of traders. They need LV4 or above in stock market analysis skills, LV3 or above in financial relations, LV2 or above in actuarial science, or several financial-related skills. Salary is negotiable."
"Qixuan Technology Laboratory is recruiting researchers. It requires physics level 3 or above, and at least one physics-related sub-skill level 5 or above. Salary is negotiable."
"Dahong Entertainment Company is recruiting a group of interns. They are required to have a correct image, be honest and obedient, and those with relevant vocal, performance and other talents and skills will be given priority
The biggest feature of the regional channel is that it is cluttered and has everything, just like before in the Qinghe Galaxy.
It can be seen from the tip of the iceberg that no matter where they are, the vast majority of players are in the civilian stream, and combat stream players only account for a minority in the entire huge player system.
Of course, this small number is only compared to the entire player system, and the number is actually not large.
There are 1.8 billion players in Tianjin as a whole, and even if there are only one-tenth of the combat stream players, there are nearly 200 million players.
Li Qing casually flipped through the regional channel, quickly switched to another trading channel, and entered the trading platform of Jinmen Province through the trading channel.
Without stopping, go straight to the target product.
First, I shopped around and ordered a small mining ship from one of the trading houses. It was equipped with 2 unmanned reconnaissance drones, 8 unmanned mining machines, 2 mining laser guns, and 200 cargo holds. The total price was 25 million, which was more than a frigate. Even more expensive.
At the same time, a small industrial supply ship was ordered from this store. This is a type of logistics support ship with a huge cargo capacity and towing capacity. It can automatically collect salvaged loot and repair and replenish ammunition for injured ships. .
The small industrial ship has a total of 300 cargo holds. Each cargo hold can accommodate 1,000 cubic meters of cargo. The total capacity is as high as 300,000 cubic meters. The price is 30 million yuan per ship.
These two ships alone cost more than half of 100 million, but they had to spend it.
Then, a set of small ore crushing, screening and refining equipment was ordered, which can directly produce refined ore. The crushing equipment cost 12 million, the screening equipment cost 12 million, and the refining equipment cost 15 million. A total of 39 million was lost. .
Including the previous 55 million, he now only has 8.24 million left.
Then
Li Qing banged his head and deleted some of the things he had planned to buy before, and finally planned to buy some ammunition.
I originally wanted to buy a set of standard base modules, a set of small water extraction and purification equipment, a cold storage, etc., but now I don't have enough money and there is no other way. I will just live on the frigate for a while.
These can be made do, but weapons and ammunition are not enough, so you must buy them.
"Wait a minute, there's not enough money!"
He suddenly remembered that he seemed to need to hire a group of battleship crew members, which not only required housing expenses, but also monthly wages
"This"
He rubbed his head again and looked at the order list in trance.
After a while, he silently opened a communication, and the light screen popped open to reveal a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit. He seemed to be talking to someone at this time. When he saw Li Qing, he was stunned for a moment and asked:
"It's Li Qing's nephew, what's wrong?"
He was polite and said straight to the point:
"Second uncle, I want to borrow money from you."
The reason why I borrowed from my second uncle and not from the family was because the development regulations stipulated that the family was not allowed to borrow any additional money except the initial capital of 100 million.
Li Lun looked at Li Qing carefully and said:
"How much do you want to borrow?"
Then he said:
"You know, given your situation, it's impossible for my second uncle to lend you much money now, up to 100 million."
Li Qing nodded and said:
"Just 100 million."
"Okay, I will send it to you later. By the way, you can prepare it by the way. Tonight, the Yu family is hosting a banquet for many young elites who have recently come to Tianjin. I, the Li family, are also invited. It will be good for you to participate. .”
"Thank you, uncle."
"Work hard!"
The light curtain disappeared and Li Lun shook his head. At this time, a handsome young man standing next to him asked:
"Father, why do people like him with no future still need to borrow money?"
Li Lun replied:
"The pioneering experience has just begun, who knows whether he can succeed."
"With his innate talent and usual performance, I don't believe what he can do."
Li Lun smiled and said:
"So what, if he can't get ahead, he can afford to pay back the money, and it will be deducted directly from the family division fee."
"Father is brilliant!"
"You smart ass, don't flatter me here, get ready later. I heard that the pearl of the Yu family will also attend the banquet this time. She probably has the idea of looking for outstanding talents among these children from various clans to marry. Please show your best. .”
The young man couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this:
"Dad, you think too highly of me. Although your son has some abilities, he is still far away from that level of genius. Moreover, women will only affect my speed of drawing the sword. Wait until I perform well in the development. , the strength has become stronger, are you still afraid that you will not have a suitable marriage partner?”
Li Lun was quite surprised when he heard this and said:
"Boy, who did you learn this idea from? It's my son as expected."
On the other side, within ten minutes of disconnecting, Li Qing received a call of 100 million stars from his second uncle.
Now that I have money, I bought a set of standard base modules that I had no money to buy before. It includes a small main core command module with a size of 100*100*100 meters, four small auxiliary cabins with a size of 30*30*30 meters, plus a A set of small electromagnetic radar and 16 fully automatic sentry cannons, with a total price of 25 million.
A set of small water purification equipment cost 1.5 million, a medium-sized cold storage cost 1.5 million, and a batch of fresh water and food were ordered for 300,000.
A small internal planetary vehicle, 25 meters long, capable of carrying 150 people and carrying 150 tons of cargo, cost 3.5 million.
Then, 50 first-level clone workers were purchased. The whiteboards had no attributes and only had 3 universal brain plugs. They had a lifespan of 20 years and were bought out for 100,000 each. A total of 5 million was spent.
In summary, a total of 25 million + 1.5 million + 1.5 million + 300,000 + 3.5 million + 5 million was spent, a total of 36.8 million, leaving a balance of 71.44 million. (End of chapter)
