The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

PS: Brothers, the new book PK will be read on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday for follow-up reading. Everyone, take a closer look these days.

A week later, Xia Qi saw Li Qing approaching by a single frigate, and asked strangely:

"You just go there like this? Don't you need to sell something?"

Zhang Yunbo laughed in the channel:

"He has only been here for a long time, and there is only one mining ship. He must not have collected many mines. This time, he will go to familiarize himself with you and get familiar with the road. Otherwise, the price will definitely be lowered when he goes alone in the future."

"That's fine, you just follow me."

Xia Qi didn't think too much, and began to direct the transport ships to form a fleet.

Li Qing rubbed his head in the channel and said:

"Well, I brought a lot of mines here."

Zhang Yuanbo looked at the radar scan subconsciously, no additional ships were found nearby, and asked:

"You brought a lot? Where, why didn't I see it?"

"Here."

A circle of black holes spread rapidly to a diameter of ten kilometers, and a huge mineral ball slowly floated out of it, appearing just like that around the asteroid out of thin air.

There was silence in the channel, everyone was stunned to see the huge passage and the huge ore ball, and Ning Xi's shocked voice sounded after a long while:

"Fuck, are you a legacy?"

"A space-type relic?"

"How big is the space? What other functions?"

Several people stared wide-eyed and asked in shock.

Li Qingzao replied in a prepared manner:

"This is a relic that accompanied me. My mother prepared it for me when I was born. It is a space relic. It has a huge space inside that can accommodate a planet, but the maximum opening is no more than ten kilometers. It can only Accommodate things that do not exceed this diameter."

After a pause, he added:

"This is a pure space-type relic. It has no other functions. It has already recognized me as the master."

"My God, how many mines can be loaded in such a large space at one time!"

As expected of a perennial miner, his first reaction was just as he guessed, how much ore it could hold.

Several people talked enthusiastically and intensely, and they were all very envious.

Just envy, and no other thoughts, having recognized the master can dispel any thoughts of most players.

What's more, they are just ordinary individual players, and they don't have such dangerous thoughts at all.

It was delayed for two hours here, mainly because they were curious and asked him to control the palm universe and load Xia Qi's transport fleet into it.

In Xia Qi's words, there are forty or fifty galaxies along the way, and it is not safe along the way. In addition to wild monsters on the road, you may occasionally encounter robbers and players who rob. If you put the transport fleet into the universe in your palm, Even if you run into robbery players who are robbing, you are not afraid.

But when they officially hit the road, Ning Xi and Zhang Weiqi were added to the team.

The mines the two of them have now are not ready for sale, but this time they don't need to bring a transport fleet at all, so they don't need to be burdened, so they decide to go on the road together and stop by to buy something.

A small fleet of one cruiser, two destroyers and six frigates left the JM-N-348 system.

After passing through the wormhole, the spacecraft radar quickly turned red, indicating that there were enemies within the radar detection range.

Taking a closer look, there are six light spots in the void more than a thousand kilometers away from the wormhole. Li Qing immediately checked the data fed back from the scan, and heaved a sigh of relief:

"It's okay, it's six pirate gunboats."

The six pirate gunboats also spotted them and chased them over. Li Qing asked Xia Qi who was leading the team:

"Shoot or throw away?"

Xia Qi said:

"Kill it, or it will easily interfere with the hyperspace engine."

"Row."

The fleet quickly lined up in a triangle, with the cruiser at the head, two destroyers on the left and right, frigates behind, and Li Qing's only frigate at the back.

As soon as the two sides approached, the muzzles of the crossing cruiser and two destroyers lit up at the same time, ten large electromagnetic guns spit out flames, ten thick tracks pierced the air, and more than eight missiles and more than twenty smaller medium electromagnetic guns The guns fired at the same time, and they were divided into two groups of pirate gunboats, one on the left and the other on the right.

Two huge flames erupted in the cold starry sky beyond the transparent floor glass of the bridge, and the two pirate gunboats were blown up on the spot, turning into two huge flames that slowly broke into two pieces.

The remaining four pirate gunboats passed through the flames of the explosion, turned a corner halfway and ran away.

Pirates also have a simple AI, found them fierce fire, and ran away on the spot.

It's a pity that the AI ​​is limited, and he didn't run away immediately. Instead, he took a wave of attacks with his face and exploded two ships before he knew how to run away.

Li Qing watched the show the whole time, and at the same time gained a new understanding of the power of large warships.

Cruisers are already considered large warships. A standard Ranger-class cruiser has 8 slots for large L weapons, 6 slots for G missiles, and 16 slots for medium M weapons. The firepower is enough to instantly kill frigates with poor configuration.

In the star sea, battleships belong to high-level battleships, even if they are placed among the military masters, they are still the main battleships.

The size of this thing is huge, and its firepower is extremely ferocious. The main gun is a super-large weapon in the X slot, and its lethality is enough to easily kill destroyers with general configuration in seconds. No matter what configuration the frigate is equipped with, it can be shot with one shot, and there is no exception.

The construction of this kind of main battleship is extremely difficult, and the demand for shipyards and shipbuilding engineers is also high. General shipyards cannot build it at all, and only those shipyards of great power can build it.

But this kind of main battleship is in short supply no matter where it is, and the big forces themselves are not enough, so it is impossible to sell it.

So on the outside, many forces without channels use cruisers as their main battleships, and battleships are their killers.

The dock array in the high-dimensional fortress in the universe in the hands of Li Qing is not only qualified to build battleships, but also qualified to build Titan super flagships, but there are no blueprints, capital, and the most critical batch of Titan super flagships. shipbuilding engineer.

Ordinary naval architects are easy to handle. This is not uncommon, and they can be hired directly by colleges or trade unions.

But the most critical senior engineer is not easy to deal with, especially the senior naval engineer who is qualified to build the main battleship above the battleship. This is a treasure no matter where you go, and high salary is not a problem. The main reason is that you can't find such a senior engineer.

This is also a headache for Li Qing. If he can find a senior shipbuilding engineer, what else is there to dig for? Just build a ship and sell it. This is much faster than mining.

It's a pity that the current strength is not enough to cooperate with others, and the strength is not enough to be qualified to cooperate with others.

A super-dock array that can build a Titan super-flagship, you must know that many warlords are not qualified to build a Titan super-flagship, which is definitely qualified to make those big figures pay a huge price to do it to him.

There is a cruiser sitting in command, and generally less than ten pirate gunboats don't need to hide, just sweep and pile up.

Most of the wandering galaxies in the wild are pirate gunboats. Most of the powerful pirate cruisers roam in the form of large fleets. The speed is not fast, and they can usually escape if they are detected early.

Xia Qi and others have traveled this road many times, and they are very familiar with it. In less than a week, they traveled to more than a dozen galaxies, and stopped at a galaxy outside the sphere of influence claimed by the Burning Specter team. Zhang Weiqi said in the channel said:

"I got a data chip before. I extracted it with a decoder and found that it is a signal coordinate. It's not very far from here. Do you want to dig it by the way?"

Xia Qi, the temporary captain of the team, thought about it and asked:

"What level of signal chip?"

"Level two."

"Well, let's go and have a look."

The signal chip is also called grave digging. Use a decoder to extract the data in the signal chip, and you will get a coordinate, which is similar to a treasure map. Go to the coordinate location to dig out the treasure, because in many cases the coordinates are treasures left by ancient predecessors. , so it is jokingly called grave digging by players.

The graves are divided into five regular levels, with level one being the lowest. Basically, there will be no good things, and the total value is less than one million.

Level 5 is the highest, where battleship construction blueprints can appear, and some rare graves have a chance to dig out ancient finished battleships.

In addition, in addition to the fifth-level tomb, there are also super-tombs that go beyond the norm, which are rare items that have a chance of obtaining flagship first-level goodies.

The value of the second-level tomb would not be too high. At best, a sunken ship might be dug up, or some battleship blueprints, or some valuables with a total value of no more than 50 million.

A group of four traveled through two galaxies according to the coordinates, and entered a dim galaxy after passing through the wormhole.

Li Qing could see at a glance that the main sequence star in the center of the galaxy had collapsed from a red star into a red dwarf star, with extremely low luminosity, except that there was some light near the main sequence star, and the place a little further away was pitch black.

Guided by Zhang Weiqi's coordinates, the fleet flew towards the edge of the gravitational well on the other side of the galaxy, avoiding several powerful monster fleets along the way, and stopped near a gaseous planet.

"Why is there someone?"

Xia Qi's cruiser had the longest radar detection range, and soon sent a copy of the radar detection map to everyone, and Li Qing also received a copy.

The picture shows that there is a large fleet parked above the orbit of this gas giant planet. Judging from the specifications and sizes, there are a total of two cruisers, five destroyers, twenty-two frigates, and three industrial ships. stronger than them.

At the same time, Li Qing found a strange place. The satellites in the orbit of the gas giant planet were all broken, as if they had been bombed by a huge powerful weapon. a small part.

At this time, that fleet was moored above the orbit of a supermassive vortex on the gas giant planet, and a thick beam of light was ejected from the center of the vortex, reaching thousands of kilometers into the space.

At this time Xia Qi sent them a bad news:

"It's the one who burns the ghost team."

At the same time they discovered the people who burned the ghosts, the enemy also had two cruisers, and they also discovered them, which inspired Xia to send a communication, and he sent it directly to the channel:

"Burning ghost team mission, please leave this galaxy if you have nothing to do with it."

"Are you so arrogant!"

Li Qing scratched his hair and looked at Xia Qi.

He laughed and said:

"You will see more arrogant scenes in the future."

"Then what do we do now?"

"Let's negotiate first."

Xia Qi connected the other side and sent a message.

After a while, a young man in a leather jacket appeared on the channel. He glanced at the four with a blank expression, and said:

"Either wait until next time, or wait until we finish the task."

Xia Qi quickly replied:

"You are busy first, we can wait for a while."

"Don't get close to the gas giant planet, just wait where you are."

The communication was immediately shut down, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Xia Qining Xi and the others probably had seen it before, but they just spread their hands.

Li Qing rubbed his forehead, chuckled, and didn't speak.

The Burning Ghost team met for the first time, and the style of behavior was seen.

Above the orbit of the gas giant planet, the two cruisers were separated from the left and right, the five destroyers and the twenty-two frigates were divided into three teams and scattered to patrol the left and right, and the three industrial ships were lined up side by side, each emitting a thick beam of light from the bow Injected into the violent atmospheric vortex of the gas giant.

This thing looks like a tractor beam from a distance, as if it is pulling something out from the bottom of the gas giant planet.

Time passed by minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took, the three tractor beams suddenly shook violently, Li Yuan, the squadron leader of the Seventh Independent Squadron of the Burning Specter, who was sitting on one of the cruisers, saw a huge light hanging in front of him. A ball of light suddenly lit up, suddenly shocked, and shouted in the channel:

"Everyone cheer up, that guy is coming out."

"Buzz!"

Li Qing felt his mind flicker slightly, and was in a trance for a while.

"Spirit shock!"

Xia Qi shouted in the channel:

"Be careful, the effect of this thing will overlap, and if it shakes again later, the power will be even greater"

Before the words fell, he was in a trance again.

When Li woke up, the channel was very quiet. After a while, Xia Qi continued:

"They don't know what they are doing, it's a bit dangerous, let's step back first, so as not to"

"Buzz!"

Li Qing could see substantial fluctuations sweeping across the space in front of him, and lost consciousness instantly.

After recovering again, the deputy captain and the adjutant of the staff behind them all fell on their seats and lost consciousness.

"Nimma!"

He quickly switched the battleship to automatic mode, ready to turn around.

At this moment, the central beam of light in the violent atmospheric vortex of the gas giant planet in the distance suddenly lit up abruptly, and a group of chaotic light balls flew out of it, and three tractor beams were restraining the chaotic light ball and shaking violently.

After waking up, Li Yuan took out a finger-sized capsule-like crystal, put it in his nasal cavity and inhaled fiercely, the crystal turned into a clear mist and inhaled into his nasal cavity, his eyes immediately shone brightly, and his whole spirit was lifted. He calmly issued an order in the channel:

"The power of the tractor beams of the three industrial ships is maximized. The No. 1 cruiser turns on the interception force field, the No. 2 cruiser turns on the interference force field, and the No. 1 destroyer prepares to wind the stagnation beam.

The diameter of the chaotic light ball was only ten seconds, and the chaotic light blooming on the surface shook violently, and from time to time there appeared hideous faces biting each other, as if there were countless evil spirits killing each other inside.

Following the guidance of the three tractor beams, the chaotic light sphere quickly escaped from the violent atmosphere of the gas giant planet and entered the orbit of the planet.

The encirclement of the burning ghost fleet is also gradually shrinking. A layer of clear light explodes from one of the cruisers. A second later, the second clear light explodes again. A thicker beam of light hits the chaotic light ball, turning into a ball formed by countless rays of light. The optical network wraps it in it.
