My sampan can be upgraded

On the surface, the Grand Duke is still the master of the Tewu Principality, but the resources and military and political power of the principality are controlled by the warlords, and the name is empty, turning him into a mascot-like existence. The Archduke could still make a voice, but it was no longer an order. He could only call for a joint effort to destroy the pirates on Gray Star, but the warlords were indifferent.

The Anji family has retained the most basic dignity of the Grand Duke's Palace. At least their own property has not been deprived of, and the Guards and the Grand Duke's fleet have not been disbanded and incorporated. Just losing the support from the treasury, the Grand Duke's fleet became a family fleet supported by the income from the family industry. It was severely underfunded and was getting smaller and smaller as the scale continued to be reduced.

Ling Kairong and Lu Youjin moved very quickly, and after only two hours, they contacted Ling Qi to say they were ready. At this time, Ling Qi was shopping with two little girls, buying a lot of clothes and daily necessities. Just when he was about to go back, a foreigner on the street with a horn on his head caught his attention.

The one-horned alien was tall, at least two and a half meters tall. He was holding two fiery red stone balls as big as a human head in his hands, with a hesitant and confused look on his face. Many people in the crowd would glance at him. What caught Ling Qi's attention was the two big stone balls in his hand. He walked over and said, "Big man, what stones are you holding?"

The one-horned alien looked happy and said in a somewhat stiff common language: "Do you know it is a gem? I said it was a gem, but no one else believed it. No one wanted to buy it. Are you going to buy it? Anu wants to change it. Credit goes home.”

The one-horned aliens are very careless and reveal their bottom line without any reservations in just one sentence.

Ling Qi smiled, stretched out her hand and said, "Show it to me first. If it is really what I need, I will buy it."

"Oh, take it, it's a bit heavy." The alien who called himself Anu handed one of the gems to Ling Qi. Ling Qi felt his hand heavy. It was indeed several times heavier than it looked. This showed that the density of the gemstone was astonishing.

The captain's system then prompted: "The explosive flame stone was discovered, which deposits mutated fire-attribute energy. Embedding it in the vehicle can increase the attack power of energy weapons!"

Ling Qi was overjoyed. This was definitely a good thing. Gems that increase attack power are always the most expensive in the game. He nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed what I need. How many credits do you plan to sell?"

"One million credit points, is that okay?" Anu asked cautiously, fearing that the price was too high and Ling Qi would turn back and refuse.

Ling Qi did not agree immediately and asked him: "How did you get it? Do you still have it?"

The big man shook his head and stammered about the story. Ling Qi combined the real-time query of the Internet information and found out that he came from a resource star in the Diwu Principality. It mainly produces tantalum and niobium ore, which is used in various energy matrices. Important sources of materials.

Therefore, that resource star is also called a tantalum and niobium star. There are some indigenous alien races living on it. There is oxygen in the atmosphere, but there are also a variety of gas components that are harmful to the human body, but they have no effect on those alien races. Therefore, during the development of the planet, the Diwu Principality educated these foreign races, provided mining equipment, exchanged materials for their labor, and helped the Diwu Principality mine mineral deposits.

Countless years have passed, and the aliens there, like many other alien planets, have integrated into human society. Of course, they can only become the lowest level of civilians. Their living conditions are very different from those before civilization, but they are not likely to be rich. Some Even the foreign villages are still very poor.

Anu is a mining worker who has received formal training and knows how to operate a lot of equipment. He is considered a "high-income" group in the local area. The two explosive stones were discovered by his tribe during the mining process. They thought they were gemstones and hoped that Selling them at a good price will further improve the living conditions of the tribe. But after testing it, people who came to and from the resource star thought it was just an ordinary stone that contained some energy. It was not even qualified to be used as a spacecraft fuel. It was worthless and no one was willing to buy it.

Anu was unwilling to give in, so he collected 300,000 credits and brought two gems to Capital Star to find a buyer. The result was the same. I went to a professional appraisal agency to identify it, and they still came to the conclusion that it was just an ordinary energy stone. Even if someone planned to buy it for decoration, they only offered 100,000 credits, which was not even enough to cover his ship ticket.

He has been wandering around the capital star for several months. He has spent all his credit points and still has not sold the stone. Now that the warlord war has begun, he hopes to go back as soon as possible. Fortunately, it is the warlord from the capital star who currently controls their planet, otherwise it may be difficult for him to return.

Ling Qi saw the communicator in his hand and asked, "Are your planet's communicators widely used? Can they be connected to the interstellar network?"

"Personal communicators have become more common in cities, and there are very few villages. To access the interstellar network, you need to apply at a specific place and spend a large amount of credits." Anu looked at Ling longingly, holding up his antenna-like horn. Seven, I hope he buys the gem.

Ling Qi took a look around and found many people stopping to watch their conversation, so he said, "Let's go to another place. You can go back with me first."

The big man yelled, holding two big gems and followed behind them. Seeing the speedboat, he had an envious expression on his face.

"What kind of transportation do you use in your hometown?" Ling Qi and Xiaorou sat on the captain's chairs, leaving a recliner available for him. He was so tall that he had to lie half down to accommodate him.

"We use big sampans to transport a lot of things!" After Anu finished speaking, his stomach suddenly growled and he rubbed it sheepishly.

Ao Ying had a natural affinity for foreigners, especially this honest big guy. She saw that he might have been hungry for a long time, so she asked Ling Qixian to wait. She jumped off the speedboat and bought a lot of meat and brought it back to him. .

Ling Qi saw that he was devouring his food and was indeed starving, so he gave up communicating with him for the time being and flew to the seaside in a speedboat. Approaching the beach, Anu finished the food and still thanked Ao Ying repeatedly.

Ling Qi added a communicator to him and told him: "I bought your gems with 10 million credit points. If you find anything again in the future, let me know."

"Really?" The big man jumped up in surprise, and his horn almost punched a hole in the speedboat.

"Really!" Ling Qi confirmed, and immediately connected to his communicator and transferred the credits to him. The gems were of great use to him. He didn't intend to bully the honest people, and he was accompanied by Xiaorou, a foreigner. Like Ao Ying, he also had some affection for this big guy and planned to help him.

Thinking of Cat Girl, he suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, "Anu, is there a cat people clan on your planet?"

Xiaorou's ears stood up instantly, and her little face looked back at the big man nervously.

Anu said: "Yes, the cat people can see at night and have good eyesight. They are also the main group that drives equipment to mine mineral deposits!"

Xiaorou looked at Ling Qi in surprise. She felt that the resource star was most likely her hometown.

Ling Qi held her in his arms and thought so in his heart. After all, she was taken to the Bright Blue Star to be sold. It was impossible for her to be taken from a more developed or farther planet. It was most likely that she came from this resource star. And with Ling Qi's little financial resources, he was able to buy it, so I guess that guy caught it casually and didn't plan to sell it for a high price.

He pondered for a moment and told Anu that he would go to their planet in a while. If he was willing to wait, he could stay with them first and then take the Tomahawk.

Anu was overjoyed. Of course he was willing to wait. The ticket costing 100,000 credits was his income from two years of hard work. With this free spaceship ride, he was willing to wait no matter how long it took.

While talking, the beach arrived. Countless interstellar ships, large and small, were moored on the sea, which was very spectacular. Ling Qi contacted Ling Kairong and Lu Youjin and met at the coordinate point provided by the other party.

They brought two speedboats here, and also hired a cargo airship to transport four three-stage thrusters and two energy bins, as well as some hull and interior materials.

"You guys are so fast!"

"There are many damaged and second-hand parts, you can find them in any repair shop!" Lu Youjin said with a smile.

Ling Qi remembered that this was not the Bright Blue Star, but the capital city of the Diwu Capital Star, which was many times more developed. There should indeed be a lot of second-hand and broken parts, and he even came up with the idea of ​​trading in old ones for new ones. However, when he thought that the environment was different and it was too risky to do it here, he gave up in a flash.

As soon as he reached out, the captain's system prompted that the damage was between 30% and 50%. As long as it wasn't beyond his repair scope, he returned to the speedboat, called for the two of them to follow him, and flew to the Tomahawk's berth.

The Tomahawk's ground floor warehouse is twenty meters long, fifteen meters wide and three meters high. After opening the hatch, the two of them followed Ling Qi's instructions and drove the speedboat directly in and parked it. Then they came out to direct the cargo airship to use its robotic arm to put down several parts and materials. A huge delivery skateboard slides out of the warehouse, picks up the items and sends them to the warehouse, where they are lifted onto the shelves under the operation of the intelligent system.

Ling Qi parked his speedboat on the back deck and asked Ao Ying to take Anu to the cabin to arrange the room and pick up the large number of items they purchased.

After they walked away, he put the two explosive stones into the ship's space, and as soon as he had an idea, he directly issued the embedding command.

"Inlaying explosive stones, intermediate inlaying skills, success rate 100%... Successful inlaying will increase the attack power of all shipboard energy weapons of the vehicle by 10%!"

"Inlaying explosive stones, intermediate inlaying skills, success rate 95%... Successful inlaying will increase the attack power of all shipboard energy weapons of the vehicle by 20%!"

On both sides of the ruby ​​at the stern, two fiery red gems appeared silently. While Ling Qi was satisfied, he also had some expectations. Now the attack power of each destroyer cannon reached 60,000 output in three seconds. If he could find a few more explosive stones to double the attack power, he would be able to defeat even a sixth-level battleship. The power of a battle.

He entered the warehouse and saw Ling and Lu watching the intelligent handling in amazement. He said to them: "It will take two days to modify and renovate. You can drive my speedboat these two days first. It will be on the back deck for a while." Give you permission."

The two were stunned and couldn't believe it: "Can it be finished in two days? I thought it would take you at least ten days! By the way, this is your workshop? Why don't you have tools and facilities?"

"I use a robot, and the efficiency is extraordinary. The tools are naturally put away. Do you have to make a mess to call it a workshop?" Ling Qi rolled his eyes and talked nonsense, and asked them to hand over the authority of the two speedboats.
