The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

What a joke, how could the majestic lord of one party help them and make wedding dresses for them.

Wouldn't it be nice to go to another place to play by yourself, and he happened to have something to do, the second uncle forwarded a word from the old patriarch to him, telling him to go to a place when he had time, so he just didn't bother to meddle in these nosy matters.

First go to the place that the old patriarch said, and then go to the reconnaissance fleet of the Bruwan United Civilization to try your strength, or go to the depths of the border, or even go to the border of the Bruwan Union. Opportunity can enter the territory of the Bruvan United for a walk, for an autumn breeze or something, no one can catch up to him anyway.

After figuring this out, Li Qing said hello to Li Jingtun again without saying anything, and the huge fleet moored in the starry sky began to start. With a dazzling halo sweeping across, the huge fleet disappeared in a flash.

As soon as he left, Yu Di, the leader of the Nulei Army, and Yi Shuilong, the deputy leader of the Nulei Army, heaved a sigh of relief.

It’s not how stingy they are, it’s mainly because the four flagships put too much pressure on them. Outside the border of the northern border of the empire, the weak can prey on the strong to the fullest. Only the strong have status here, let alone facing the crisis at this time. , everyone is more dependent on the strong.

Such a powerful fleet is placed here. Later, many players will join forces to form a joint fleet. If Li Qing wants to fight for the command, they really can't compete.

Players here vote with their feet. The four flagships are placed here. If you can get the golden talent of the Servant of Light to shine, you don’t need to shine the talent of yourself and the star negative. They don’t care if you are a foreigner or not. Li Qing was willing to take the lead, and many people supported him.

This time the jump distance is not very far, only about 500 light-years, and it is not a targetless jump, it is a purposeful jump. The target is about 2,000 light-years away from the northwest direction of the Nu Lei Legion, which has already surpassed human beings. The central line of the border between the two civilizations united with Bruvan is further north, quite close to the southern border of the Bruvan united civilization, and only more than two thousand light years away from the central core fortress of the Bruvan united southern border, where there is a very famous neutral galaxy.

That neutral galaxy is called Omnic 003, which is said to be a neutral galaxy established by thirty-three large pirate groups and a powerful intelligent robot named 003.

And recognized by the United Empire of Mankind and Bruvan, it is an absolutely neutral galaxy, and the joint raids every ten years will not affect it.

The so-called neutral galaxy does not mean that you declare neutrality to be neutral, but that it must be recognized by all nearby major forces to be considered neutral.

In this galaxy called Omnic 003, there is a super huge urban planet, which is ruled by a powerful intelligent robot named 003.

According to the words of the old patriarch Erbozhuan, this neutral galaxy is the location of the largest black market in the entire empire, and even the entire Perseus Arm. civilizations will come here to trade.

This neutral fortress is also the place where thirty-three super-large pirate groups in the border sell dirty, basically everything can be found here.

Including battleship mother chips, even flagship mother chips, even a full set of blueprints for mobile fortresses and more outrageous things can be found here.

All in all, this is a very high-end international market, especially the Super Auction every five years, which attracts countless bigwigs, including the consortium of the United Empire of Humanity, the military lords of the Bruvan Union, and even Lords, even some interstellar super consortiums from the Perseus Arm or the Milky Way, or civilizations, etc. gathered here, which is a rare event in the Perseus Arm.

It is said that every Super Auction will have some hidden identities mixed with players from other player civilizations.

Coincidentally, this year is the year of the super auction every five years, and there are still about four months before the super auction.

Such a super-spec super auction can have everything. There is a high probability that there will be a battleship mother chip or even a dreadnought mother chip that Li Qing needs, as long as there are enough materials.

Yes, like this kind of cross-race, cross-civilization and even cross-spindle super auction, the transaction currency cannot of course be human star dollars, but the common currency of the river system.

Generally speaking, there are two types of transactions.

One is to use civilization points. This thing is a common currency recognized by the river system, even the ancient high civilizations in the galaxy also recognize this transaction currency.

The second is mineral resources, including refined steel, various rare resources, such as rare crystals, rare gases, etc., or ultra-rare resources, such as star diamonds, active metals, etc.

Alloys are not good, because the alloy formulas of different civilizations are different, and you have to remelt them after buying them. On the contrary, the most basic refined steel is the common currency among the stars.

Li Qing didn't have much refined steel on hand, and he had converted some of the previously stored steel into alloys, so he had to spend time collecting a batch in the past two months.

It's not a big problem, now he has nothing else, no shortage of mines.

As an ultimate miner who doesn't need any cost, it's not about how much he needs to have. His problem now is not whether he has mines, but how much he needs to convert to be enough.

The things that appear in this kind of super auction are hundreds of trillions, tens of billions, or even trillions, especially some good things that are beyond ordinary people's imagination, and even military leaders will be jealous. Several megabytes or even more, if you don’t have enough capital and can only watch others buy it, it will be so depressing.

As for the third transaction method, that is barter, this need not be considered.

There are still four months until the auction, and there is plenty of time.

After jumping twice, Li Qing found an unmanned galaxy and stopped in an asteroid belt, opened the palm universe and started collecting meteorites.

This place is too far away from the human territory, there are no players, but no one saw this shocking scene.

The efficiency of collecting meteorites is not as high as that of collecting planets, but it saves money. After all, the ultimate weapon needs more than ten trillion energy blocks to fire a single shot.

Anyway, there are still four months before the Super Auction, so there is plenty of time.

The attraction contained in the current gate of the black hole is already very strong. It may not be possible to force the warship, but the meteorites floating in the starry sky can no longer resist its suction, and there is no need for the assistance of industrial ships. At the beginning, the gate of the black hole swept all the way forward. Can.

In just one month, the total volume of meteorites received has approached that of the previous waste planet.

He has been busy for about three months, collecting more than three meteorites the size of waste earth planets, and then smelting them while collecting them, and finally collected up to 2 trillion cubic meters of refined steel, with a total value of about 78 trillion.

"What a happy trouble!"

Li Qing was speechless. Throwing so much refined steel on the market would definitely have a certain impact on the normal refined steel price.

It is completely impossible to affect the entire human market. After all, the entire market is so large. All the players in the entire civilization mine more than him every day. The main reason is that so much refined steel is thrown directly on the market, and there is no defense. This will definitely cause a certain range of price fluctuations, which will trigger a series of chain reactions.

"If you have fish in your heart but not enough strength, that's what you're talking about."

Li Qing rubbed his chin, ordered the battleship to return to the fleet, and prepared to go to the 003 neutral planet.

It's only a month away, so hurry over and prepare first, you might not find a place if you're late.

First put all the warships into the universe in the palm, and an escort ship entered the transition after a short preparation and disappeared.

Two hours later, the escort ship appeared in the border galaxy of the 003 neutral galaxy, and then followed the instructions all over the galaxy to the wormhole in front of the hyperspace channel on the other side of the galaxy, and saw a star castle at the entrance of the wormhole, with two small Fleets are checking queues to enter wormholes.

One of these two small fleets has an obvious human style, and the other has an alien style that has never been seen before. It is not a battleship of the Bruwan United Civilization, and it is not known which civilization it is.

The inspection was quick, and it was his turn in less than ten minutes. A communication came in, revealing a silver-white robot, saying to him with a mechanical electronic voice:

"Welcome to the 003 Mechanical City. According to the highest 003 order, you need to register to enter the 003 galaxy."

Li Qing nodded:

"It's natural, how to register?"

After speaking, a form was passed over, and the robot said:

"Please follow the prompts above to fill in."

Li Qing was relieved to check the form. It was not very complicated, just simply fill in the name and race, as well as the number of the spaceship that entered the 003 galaxy and the basic information of the crew inside.

Li Qing thought for a while, and filled in the information about himself, the Cybertronian general, and the crew on the escort ship.

Of course, the God of Cybertron will be the original name, and now he has a new name that is usually used after becoming the negative star, which is Li Bo.

After filling in the information, they were released into the wormhole after obtaining a serial number.

Half an hour later, I came out of the wormhole on the opposite side of the galaxy, and saw a row of ten super star cities hanging in the void near the wormhole, and two communications were connected in a row.

One is the official welcome message of Galaxy 003. After reminding him of a series of precautions, he leaves an assistant message. If he encounters any problems in the galaxy, he can use this assistant to communicate and inquire.

Another communication that was beyond his expectations was from the embassy of the United Empire of Humanity in the 003 galaxy. After contacting him, he not only sent a note and some general information that was not secret, but also helped him temporarily open the player channel in the galaxy. .

At this time, there are not many people speaking in the internal channel of the galaxy, and most of them are anonymous, or some people who are obviously codenames are speaking.

Li Qing thought for a while, and gave himself a code name - Siwon.

Then he browsed the channel's built-in top news, which contained information on how to sign up for the Super Auction and the prerequisites for participating in the auction.

The top information shows that the prerequisites for participating in the auction are very simple. You need to pay a deposit equivalent to one hundred trillion star dollars worth of materials or civilization points, which can be regarded as the screening threshold. If you don’t even have this capital, don’t participate in this super auction I will.

But it is impossible for normal people to transport such a large amount of goods to the auction. At this time, there is a compromise method, which is to go to the management committee of the Super Auction to verify the capital.

There are representatives of the United Empire of Mankind, the Bruwan United, and the Perseus Arm and even the Galaxy. All individuals or forces who want to participate in the auction need to verify their identities under the witness of multiple parties to ensure that they have sufficient capital. items in the auction.

The super auction will not be held in the ten super star cities near the wormhole. It is only used to receive outsiders who come to trade during the non-super auction period. The super auction will be held on the mechanical city planet No. 003.

After obtaining the passage permission, the escort ship went straight to the interior of the galaxy.

After the Super Star City, there are piles of warships and spaceships moored everywhere, most of which are various transport ships, including some extremely rare giant transport ships, which are larger than the Titan Super Flag and can accommodate a large amount of cargo.

In this neutral galaxy, as long as any civilization abides by the local rules, it can rent a place to do business here, and even establish a residence station near the star city.

But only near the star gate, ordinary merchants are not allowed to enter the depths of the galaxy, especially near the mechanical city planet No. 003, merchants with low reputation are not allowed to approach.

About one million kilometers across the ten super star gates, a star city cluster composed of three super star cities appeared, and a large number of warships and spaceships lined up nearby.

According to Li Qing's instructions, the escort ships lined up at the back of the line.

Half an hour later, it was his turn in the team, and the escort ship was sent directly to the center of the galaxy through the star gate of the central star city.

As soon as he came out of the star gate, Li Qing saw an extremely huge planet hanging in the air ahead.

This is a very large planet. Looking at it from a distance, it is estimated that its diameter may exceed 100,000 kilometers. It has already caught up with some gas giant planets. It is difficult for normal planets to be so large.

This is a mechanical planet made of metal with a layer of atmosphere on the surface. In addition, there is a transparent energy shield tens of thousands of kilometers away from the planet's ground to intercept fine meteorites and garbage captured by the mechanical planet's gravity.

Through the transparent energy shield, one can see metal skyscrapers everywhere on the surface of the planet, which looks unusually prosperous, and countless interstellar aircraft dragging long flames to shuttle back and forth between the high-rise buildings on the planet.

In the orbit of millions of kilometers outside the planet, there are five mobile battle stars with a diameter of nearly 10,000 kilometers, more than 30 war moons with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers, and hundreds of super star cities.

And these mobile battle stars and war moons are surrounded by huge fleets.

"Dear guest, welcome to Super Mechanical City Planet No. 003!"

The crisp electronic prompt brought Li Qing back to reality from the shock, and he couldn't help but click his tongue, sighing a lot:

"What a terrifying force!"

Sure enough, people have their own capital to be able to be neutral. If they are not strong enough, they can't be neutral even if they want to be neutral.

Although Li Qing has never seen the strength of the Star Sea Lord, but based on what he has seen and heard now, the comprehensive strength of this so-called Mechanical City Galaxy No. 003 definitely surpasses the general Star Sea Lord.

Next, Li Qing parked the escort ship at the Star City berth very honestly, and then entered the Star City with a small aircraft according to the instructions. The management committee of the Super Auction is in this Super Star City.
