Chapter 15: Configuring Battleships (Part 1)
After coming out of Jinmen, although he had not experienced many battles, Li Qingqing understood clearly that the combat effectiveness of high-configuration warships was indeed much stronger than that of low-configuration warships. This time when he went back, he must equip two level five frigates.
In fact, he would like to equip a destroyer, which is not only bigger, more powerful, but also faster. However, a fully equipped destroyer would cost at least 600 to 700 million. The total number of mineral balls in the universe in his hand may not be enough.
But he couldn't tell for sure now. On his way back, he planned to wander around the galaxies he passed to see if there was such a mining base, and if he could steal some ores along the way.
If you can collect a few hundred million more mines along the way, you can directly board a fully equipped destroyer when you return to Tianjin.
Destroyers are not only faster than frigates, but their shipboard radars also have a wider range, making it easier to steal minerals.
The next day, Yang Yunbo brought three frigates and a medium-sized transport ship. Li Qing handed him the three ore balls and part of the refined ore that he had prepared long ago, and obtained a new frigate.
After chatting for a while, Yang Yunbo said goodbye and left. He put all the refined ore accumulated during this period into the palm of his hand, sent a message to Yang Yunbo and set off.
The frigate quickly left the galaxy, entered the next door galaxy, and then directly started the hyperspace engine to enter the sub-light speed state.
He already has a star map of the nearby galaxy. This galaxy does not have an asteroid belt, and there is a high probability that there will not be a mining base for wild monsters.
Three days later, when entering the next galaxy, the hyperspace engine is still started, but the direction is inside the galaxy.
Not long after arriving near an asteroid belt inside the galaxy, the battleship slowed down and moved along the asteroid belt, looking for possible mining bases.
It took almost a month to stop and go, and a total of six mining bases were discovered and 22 mineral balls were successfully stolen.
There must be more than these mining bases in an asteroid belt, but the asteroid belt is too big. It is impossible for him to really fly around it. That is a distance that cannot be completed in a year, so he can only stop and go. Stop letting things happen.
Setting the frigate to cruise at a constant speed, Li Qing left the frigate and entered the universe in his palm.
As soon as he entered the universe in his palm, his pupils exploded with light, and it was like a fire was ignited in his mind. The surging spiritual energy could no longer be suppressed and erupted from his eyes, like two transparent flames.
After more than a month and a few days of accumulation, the spiritual energy finally crossed that boundary and successfully awakened the spiritual energy.
The so-called spiritual energy is the mixture and sublimation of soul power and psychic power.
Only those with innate soul power or spiritual power, inspired by some strong emotions or guided by external forces, can use the power of the soul to ignite the power of the soul and awaken spiritual energy.
Psionic energy is a special kind of energy, because it is the sublimation of the power of the mind and soul. The power of the mind can also be called spiritual power. After the emptiness of the mind and soul power is sublimated, it is transformed into substantial spiritual energy, thus Can interfere with reality mentally.
You can refer to legendary magic or Taoism, and psychic energy can achieve legendary spell effects.
For example
Li Qing stretched out his palm, and the invisible and transparent power in his palm turned into a flame. As he thought, the transparent spiritual power quickly turned red and burned, emitting blazing heat.
As his thoughts moved again, the temperature of the burning flame dropped rapidly, and soon fell below zero, exuding a fierce cold air.
By interfering with reality mentally, psychic energy can achieve the impossible.
Now his spiritual power is not strong enough. He only has 10 units of spiritual power when he awakens. At most, he can make a ball of fire or freeze an ice cream. No more.
But as the spiritual energy continues to grow, its power will also continue to grow. When it reaches a certain level, the power of psychic energy can form a powerful psychic storm, and even a battleship can be easily shattered.
After a little trial and error, Li Qing put his palms together to extinguish the ice flames. With a thought in his mind, the light curtain popped up in front of his eyes, and several prompts appeared in front of him:
"You have awakened your psychic powers and become a psychic. All innate attributes are +2 points, and your life span is +200 years."
Regardless of the strength of the psychic energy, once the psychic energy is awakened, the lifespan will be greatly increased.
Moreover, the increased lifespan of psychic energy will not affect advanced genetic modulation. You can also undergo five genetic modulations to increase your lifespan and physical fitness.
It is worth mentioning that the innate attributes improved by psychic awakening are much higher than genetic adjustment. Genetic adjustment will only increase a little bit of innate attributes each time, but psychic awakening will not increase brain slots.
It is also worth mentioning that spiritual awakening and genetic adjustment are two different things from spiritual ascension and genetic ascension. Now this is not the same as spiritual ascension and genetic ascension.
Whether it is spiritual awakening, genetic adjustment, or prosthetic transformation, these are the prerequisites for the three major ascensions.
The spiritual energy intensity of the spiritual awakening must reach more than one thousand units. After five genetic adjustments and five prosthetic transformations, the three major paths to ascension will be opened. Only after success can the ascension be regarded as successful, thereby obtaining the huge power after ascension. award.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Li Qing's eyes fell on the second prompt.
"You have awakened your psychic powers and become a psyker. Please choose the direction of your psychic skills."
Psyker (Administration): This is a powerful psyker, whose powerful psychic abilities give him extremely high administrative efficiency.
Attributes: Functional efficiency +20%, industrial production capacity +20%.
Psyker (Scientific Research): This is a powerful psyker, and his powerful psychic powers give him extremely high scientific research efficiency.
Attributes: Scientific research efficiency +20%, there is a very small chance of a flash of inspiration during research.
Psyker (Navy Commander): This is a powerful psyker whose powerful psychic powers grant great bonuses to the fleet.
Attributes: Fleet speed +20%, Fleet range +20%, Hit +10.
Psyker (Army General): This is a powerful psyker whose powerful psychic powers grant great bonuses to ground troops.
Attributes: Ground troops range +20%, hit +20.
"Hmm!"
Li Qing hesitated.
There is no difference in the psionic power itself. It is just pure psionic power. However, when the rules of the new universe are digitized, there is this exclusive skill for psykers.
This is also the main reason why psykers are called second only to purple epic-level innate talents. Not only do they have power, but they also have a powerful BUFF. Moreover, this skill will also increase with the level of psykers. It is very powerful. .
Theoretically, the skill of psyker is stronger than most epic-level innate talents, but it is difficult for psyker to improve, and it becomes more difficult to improve as you get to the later stage.
There is no such thing as a bottleneck when it comes to innate talents. In terms of the level limit, psychics cannot match them, so they are ranked below.
But no matter what, the skill of psyker is an additional skill besides innate talent, and it is so powerful.
In fact, you don’t need to be too entangled in the choice. The administrative branch must be eliminated first, and the scientific research branch.
Li Qing hesitated for a moment and ruled it out.
This branch is actually very powerful. The scientific research efficiency is only +20%. The occasional flash of inspiration is actually very powerful. Many scientific research results are the result of scientists’ occasional flash of inspiration. With this, how can one become an excellent scientist? There is no problem.
But the problem is that he never thought of taking the scientist route.
With two PASSes, the Army does not need to consider it, leaving only the Navy Command Skills route.
After making his choice, Li Qing immediately clearly felt that the frigate's speed had increased a lot.
As for psychic power, this thing is in the mind. When awakened, the psychic power is only 10 units. A normal psychic needs to find the secret method of psychic power and continue to practice it to slowly improve. But he doesn't have to do anything. He eats and sleeps every day. Eating will keep improving.
At this stage, his spiritual energy is increased by about 1 unit every day. When the universe in his palm is repaired to a certain extent in the future, the extracted virtual energy will increase, and the spiritual energy feedback he will receive will also increase.
In other words, at this stage, there is no need to expect to use the ultimate move like Psionic Storm. It can only be used by a strong person with at least a thousand units and is called a storm-level psyker, and the power is not as powerful as before. The incarnation of the will of the psychic devourer.
Although he is just an incarnation of will, he possesses more than a thousand units of spiritual power.
“There is a long way to go!”
Li Qing smacked his lips, looking forward to being able to be like this in the future, or even stronger.
It is worth mentioning that although late-stage psykers were very powerful, and some legendary super psykers could even cover a planet with their psychic powers, the mainstream in the star sea was fleet combat.
Psionics are explosive but not long-lasting. At most, you can use a few waves of psionic storms to kill a small fleet instantly. When you run out of psionic energy, you will be slaughtered.
For powerful psykers, they never rely on psionic power to fight against the fleet. For them, the biggest benefit of psykers is the powerful skill effects of psykers.
Imagine that a fleet commanded by a powerful super psyker has +100% speed, +100% range, +100% attack power, and is sure to hit. How powerful would it be to command a fleet with such a strong BUFF?
Although the bonus at this time was not that big, Li Qing could clearly feel the difference.
The instant speed increase allows him to easily get rid of ordinary pirate gunboats, even destroyers, greatly improving safety.
In the next few months, Li Qing walked slowly along the road back to Jinmen, visiting every galaxy with an asteroid belt, looking for mining bases.
If you encounter a personal player base, you will also spend some money to buy a star map of the galaxy from them, which can save a lot of time.
Unknowingly, five months later, he finally returned to the Jinmen Galaxy. At this time, he had accumulated more than a hundred ore balls, 114 in total.
When he returned to Jinmen, he did nothing. He rented a hotel in the scenic Jinmen No. 2 Tourist Star and spent half a month relaxing.
Then I went to the galaxy next to Jinmen, found a chamber of commerce, rented a large industrial ship, and drove the industrial ship to an uninhabited part of the galaxy. Although it was the galaxy next to Jinmen and had a lot of people, the galaxy was too big to be able to visit all places. If there are people, he only needs to find an uninhabited place to open the exit of the universe in his hand, drag out the ore balls inside with the tractor beam of the industrial ship, and directly drag the ore balls out like a train.
I randomly found a mining company called Diyi and sold all 114 ore balls with a diameter of about five kilometers at the market price.
It took almost a week just to smash the ore balls one by one, count the raw ores in the ore balls, count the number of different ores, and calculate the total price.
According to the final comprehensive statistics, the 114 ore balls plus the ore he had accumulated before were sold for 1.24 billion star yuan, which was a little higher than he expected.
It's not enough to build a small fleet with a net worth of one billion, but it's a good start.
It is completely possible to configure one fully equipped destroyer and two fully equipped frigates. At that time, it will be more convenient and more efficient in terms of actual combat effectiveness and stealing ores.
To configure the battleship, we were looking for a shipyard affiliated with the Yu family, which would accept custom orders for cruisers.
It's not that he won't build battleships, but the order for battleships is in short supply and has been scheduled for ten years, so it's not his turn at all.
In the reception room, Li Qing was drinking tea while looking at the different destroyer configurations displayed on the light screen in front of him. A beautiful girl wearing a decent short skirt and uniform showing a good figure was introducing him enthusiastically:
"Sir, our Yu's Shipyard has a heritage of more than 400 years and can accept custom orders for the highest battleships."
"There are only 58 people in the queue for the custom-made destroyer, and construction is expected to start in one month."
"Of course, if you are in a hurry and don't mind, you can buy a finished warship, it just needs to be re-modified and strengthened."
Li Qing did not answer, but just looked at the initial module configurations of different destroyers on the light screen, as well as various modification plans.
The configuration of weapons and general slots is not important. The old and new ships can be replaced at any time. Customization mainly depends on the modules.
Because the destroyer is divided into two sections, the bow and the stern, each of which has many types of modules. When ordering, you can freely customize the assembly of different modules instead of the default modules.
Among them, the common bows include gunboat bows, sentry bows, giant gun bows, missile bows, sentry sterns, interceptor sterns, gunboat sterns, and missile sterns. In addition, there are There are rare hangar bow and hangar stern.
In addition to these, customized warships can also be enhanced and modified during construction, adding new weapon slots or general slots, making them stronger than conventional warships of the same level as soon as they leave the factory.
Of course, the price is also more expensive, costing hundreds of millions.
But when it is impossible to build a large-scale fleet in the early stage, the combat effectiveness of a single ship can directly affect the combat effectiveness. Therefore, battleship modification is very popular in the early stage. Cruisers like Xia Qi have been modified. Not only are they equipped with five levels, but the battleships are also modified. It has been enhanced and many additional weapon slots have been added. Basically, it can defeat two standard cruisers with one against two.
Li Qing thought about it carefully, and he estimated that he would be running around looking for wild monster mining bases to steal minerals for a long time. Speed must be very important, and his own combat power was also crucial. All five-star configurations and various enhancements must be fully achieved.
The bow of the ship is a giant gun bow module, which has 2 L large weapon slots and 4 M medium weapon slots.
The gunboat stern module is chosen for the stern, which has 8 M medium weapon slots.
There is no slot for S small weapons and no slot for P-type close-range rapid-fire cannons. It is difficult to make a threatening counterattack when faced with an enemy's face-to-face attack.
But the problem is not big. Just leave the close defense to two fully equipped frigates.
The three battleships are also a small fleet. The main destroyers are responsible for frontal combat, and the frigates only need to protect. (End of chapter)
