Can My Battleship Be Upgraded?

In addition, while Zheng Yan was targeting Wu Haoze, she discovered that someone else was also collecting information about Wu Haoze and his caravan.

More importantly, Wang Dong actually knew this person.

It's Sima Zhongda.

Before his rebirth, Wang Dong had many interactions with Sima Zhongda.

Sima Zhongda was a collateral descendant of the Jin family. In other words, he had a very low background and was considered the most marginalized member of the family.

Not only did he come from a bad background, but his family conditions were also very poor.

His parents died when he was young, and he and his sister depended on each other.

Relying on his own intelligence and hard work step by step, Sima Zhongda not only restored the family business, but also raised it to a new height.

If he ends here, his growth trajectory can be regarded as a model for the rise of a collateral bastard.

Unfortunately, Sima Zhongda's background determines his upper limit within the Jin family system.

After reaching a certain level, the ceiling, both overt and covert, ensues.

At the same time, it has become impossible to remain independent. In this case, Sima Zhongda had no choice but to join Sima Decao's disciples.

This time, Sima Decao took over the task of tracking down Yuan Shu and the Tomahawk only at the suggestion of Sima Zhongda.

The instigation of rebellion against members of Yuan Shu's crew and the ambush of Yuan Shu were also the work of Sima Zhongda, which directly caused Yuan Shu's death.

It was only Sima Decao's negligence in the actual operation that gave Yuan Shu a chance to escape. He insisted on staying alive for 24 hours, allowing the Tomahawk to be passed on to Wang Dong.

After losing the whereabouts of Yuan Shu and the Tomahawk, Sima Decao was forced to summon Sima Zhongda to come for support.

Before his rebirth, Wang Dong's last-ditch battle sank Sima De's ship, making Sima Zhongda the successor executor of Yuan Shu's mission.

Under his investigation, Wang Dong's true identity was quickly discovered.

And through the anomalies that Wang Dong was forced to expose, he realized that Wang Dong contained great value that far exceeded Yuan Shu himself.

Sima Zhongda regarded this as a hope to break the ceiling and improve his status, so he reported it to his family.

Then Sima Delang picked the peach directly.

Compared with Sima Decao, Sima Zhongda was even more helpless when facing the malice from Sima Delang.

What's more serious is that there was a fire in the backyard.

Sima Zhongda's sister was attracted by a direct descendant, but she was killed without force.

Sima Zhongda made a big fuss when he returned and only asked for some compensation. The direct descendant was severely punished, and after paying a certain price of benefits, that was all.

Instead, Sima Zhongda suffered continuous suppression.

Eventually Sima Zhongda rebelled against the Jin family.

In the previous life, when Wang Dong was hunted down by the Jin family, Sima Zhongda also provided several helping hands.

Of course it was for the purpose of revenge on the Jin family.

This is why Wang Dong recognized Sima Zhongda immediately.

Sima Zhongda is a talented person. After he betrayed the Jin family, he brought much more trouble to the Jin family than Wang Dong.

It's a pity that no matter how poor Sima Zhongda's status is, he still belongs to the Jin family and enjoys the basic treatment of the privileged class.

Compared to Wang Dong, I don’t know how much better it is.

Otherwise, Wang Dong really has the idea of ​​taking him under his wing.

The appearance of Sima Zhongda made Wang Dong certain that his plan was progressing smoothly.

The two Jin brothers were indeed eyeing Wu Haoze's caravan.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Sima Zhongda to personally monitor Wu Haoze and collect intelligence.

July 10th, another mining day.

With the new target of the Jin family warship, the threat to Wang Dong is greatly reduced.

Wang Dong went to work as usual.

One day is spent mining normally, and the other day is spent on the Pond, cracking the ores collected previously one by one.

After cutting open one-third of the ore, Wang Dong obtained eighteen units of low-level energy crystals and one unit of intermediate energy crystals.

Counting the two units of intermediate energy crystals dissected last time, at least Pond No. will no longer have to worry about energy reserves in the short term.

Wu Haoze's caravan had completed loading goods yesterday.

Two transport spaceships landed on the mining planet, unloaded many cargoes needed by the mining planet, and then carried a large amount of high-value minerals.

After completing the supply, the spacecraft took off and joined the convoy fleet, preparing to leave the mining area and head to the next stop on the trade route.

This is the daily life of a caravan.

On the fixed trade routes opened up, they would stop at one stop and conduct trade.

While earning profits, he also undertakes other overt and covert tasks.

In the Bauhinia Kingdom, without the support of the great nobles, such a stable long-term trade route cannot be established.

The vast starry sky contains many lawless places.

Uneasy factors such as the Star Thief Group and the remnants of alien races exist in every corner of the Star Sea.

The universe is not a peaceful vacation place.

July 14th, mining planet, light rain.

With the departure of Wu Haoze's caravan, the two Fire Warships have also disappeared for many days, and the mining star region seems to have returned to its previous calm.

The patrol fleet's alert level has not yet been lowered, but the battle-ready status of the battle fortress has been lifted.

Wang Dong held an umbrella and walked on the street.
