Can My Battleship Be Upgraded?

Originally, with the confirmation of the position of Wang Dong's heir and the failure of the two brothers Wang Jinqiu and Wang Jinli, the fleet sent by our family lost the need to stay in the Blackstone Barony.

Wang Jingyi plans to return to his family.

But the baron came forward and warmly invited him to stay in the baron for a while.

This is to allow Wang Dong and his party to stagger their schedule with their own fleet.

Also for safety reasons.

Wang Jingyi himself may not have any ill intentions, but he cannot bear to know whether there will be other changes in the fleet.

Although after being stripped of two fire battleships and ten new assault ships, the strength of our fleet was greatly reduced.

The baron still chooses to be cautious.

Three days passed.

The fleet has left the airspace of the Blackstone Barony.

In the bridge of the Blackstone, Wang Dong discussed the next trip with Chen Shayi in a relaxed manner.

"From the Blackstone Barony to the capital galaxy, you must pass through the ultra-long-range stargate in the Northland Grand Dukedom."

Chen Shayi said with certainty.

Wang Dong nodded slightly.

The distance between the Northland Star Field and the Capital Galaxy exceeds thirty light years, and there is no direct connecting channel.

Relying on the battleship's own capabilities alone consumes a lot of time and risks.

Stargate, as the name suggests, is the gate of stars.

04A super-large transportation hub created specifically for long-distance navigation.

The cost is high, but the results are extraordinary.

No matter how far the distance between the two connected star gates is, it is only equivalent to a short distance.

With the current level of technology possessed by the Bauhinia Kingdom, the maximum distance between the two connected star gates is five light oceans.

The star gate in the North Star Region that leads directly to the capital galaxy was not built by the Bauhinia Kingdom itself.

It was the work of foreign construction companies hired with high salaries.

"According to the charging standards in previous years, the cost for our fleet to pass through the star gate is about three hundred source coins.

Chen Shayi's trip was not only to protect Wang Dong, but also to impart experience to him.

Just like in ancient novels, when a novice is just starting out and traveling around the world, he often needs an experienced person to guide him.

Afraid that Wang Dong did not understand the concept of "source currency", Chen Shayi explained it separately.

Wang Dong nodded and accepted the instruction, then asked casually: "Then what are the main sources of source currency income in our territory?"

"Basically, I earn money by doing commissions published online by the Fire Warships in the territory, and then hand it over to the territory at a rate of 10%."

Chen Shayi did not hide anything. As an heir, he should know some things.

Wang Dong nodded, this is equivalent to the noble lord collecting taxes from the knights under his command.

This ratio in the Blackstone Barony is not high.

For example, in the Highland Viscounty, the extraction ratio reaches 20%.

"Approximately how much income can you make in a year?"

Wang Dong asked next.

"Hmm...I'm not sure about this, I have to ask Lao Shen.

It’s just that for my Skylark account, I usually pay about 20 source coins every year. "

Chen Shayi thought for a while and replied.

In other words, Chen Shayi's Skylark account's annual income in source coins is almost 200.

The cost of a fleet crossing a star gate is more than the income of a LV.10 fire warship for one and a half years. It is indeed expensive.

For this trip, for safety reasons, we chose a route through Highland Viscounty.

Although it added two days to the voyage, it was indeed a smooth trip.

This was not unexpected by Wang Dong.

Right now, the situation in the Bauhinia Kingdom is still at a stalemate.

Even if the struggle between the local faction and the royal family becomes more and more fierce, it is still hidden under the surface.

It is far from the situation a few years later when the main fleet is dispatched and the confrontation is open and honest.

The Highland Viscounty only dared to do small things behind the scenes, such as instructing the Star Thief Group to harass.

And with the strength of Wang Dong's current fleet, the average Star Thieves group would not have the courage to take action.

Especially after adjusting the route, the leader of the Highland Viscount was beyond reach.

Ten days later.

The fleet has bypassed the Highland Viscounty and entered the airspace of the Tianfang Earldom.

After passing through the airspace of the Earl of Tianfang, and then passing through the two noble territories, you can reach the political center of the Northland Star Territory, the Grand Dukedom of the Northland.

After entering the Tianfang Earldom, you can see the Weijing Galaxy in the distance.

On this day, the fleet discovered a somewhat strange fleet on the waterway not far ahead.

This fleet includes one large ship, ten assault ships, ten frigates, and two fire warships.

The frigate is much larger than the assault ship.

The captains of the three frigates in front all exceed

The frigate is equipped with energy shields and a variety of ship-to-ship missiles, which can provide powerful protection.

The price, of course, is far higher than that of an assault ship.

"Your Excellency Wang Dong, we are lucky, an interstellar cruise ship happens to be on our route.

You can go up and have a tour. "

Chen Shayi smiled.

"It turns out to be a star cruise ship."

As the distance got closer, Wang Dong began to see clearly the large ship in the center surrounded by escorting frigates and assault ships.

It looks like dozens of layers of overlapping disks, and has a hill-like volume. Large swaths of brilliance shine from the countless portholes on its hull.

In the universe, it itself is a landscape.

Having said that, Wang Dong has never seen interstellar cruise ships, which are almost legendary to ordinary civilians.

When Chen Shayi said this, he was really moved.

"Then, let's go up and learn more about it?"

Without being pretentious, Wang Dong readily agreed.

He is not worried about the price issue.

I just went up to 157 for a temporary visit, not for a long stay.

Besides, since Chen Shayi dared to propose, he was definitely sure of footing the bill.

At the moment, the Blackstone sent a communication signal with the opposing fleet and soon received permission.

After a slight tilt, a frigate approached the Black Stone, and Wang Dong took a dozen people to transfer aboard.

Safety issues are still guaranteed.

Every interstellar cruise ship is produced by a professional group.

This kind of multinational group has strong force guarantee, otherwise it would not be able to do this business.

When we contacted him, we had already verified the other party's identity.

"The ancient sword hides its sharp edge, waiting for its fate.

This is the Shuguang interstellar cruise ship owned by Langya Interstellar Cruise Group. Welcome all tourists.

I hope every tourist can find your own beauty in the vast universe. "

Entering the Dawn through the docking platform, a soft female voice sounded in everyone's ears.

It's not an electronic synthesized sound, it's the original voice of a popular actress.

"The difference between a cruise ship and a battleship is very obvious."

Walking on the spacious passage inside the ship, Wang Dong couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In his previous life, he had never been on an interstellar cruise ship.

Battleships need to rationally arrange the space inside the ship to minimize unnecessary waste, so the layout of the battleship's internal passages and even the various cabins are extremely compact.

But Star Cruises is different. .
