The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Originally, Li Qing came here for the black market auction, and wanted to see if he could get some good things here.

But now that he opened the box and found a miraculous relic like the imitation Ayi Mora magic lamp, his expectations for the black market auction are not so great now. What he wants to do most now is to end the auction and go back and have a good time. Study this magic lamp.

Three wishes represent three extraordinary benefits, as long as you figure out the maximum ability, you will be happy at that time.

Not long after, as players who registered for the black market arrived one after another, at a certain moment, a host in a tuxedo came to the stage and rang the bell, and the auction officially started.

The first lot is a refitted and strengthened finished cruiser with full salvo modules and five-level configuration, with a starting price of 2 billion stars.

At the same time, everyone received a lot information, which showed in detail the information of all the accessories of the cruiser.

Although everyone has a battleship, most of those who dare to come to the outpost to develop have a cruiser, but this does not prevent them from taking another finished cruiser that has been configured.

In less than two minutes, this thing was raised to a high price of 6.1 billion, which exceeded the total price of all configurations of this cruiser by about 500 million, and was won by an unknown player.

Generally speaking, the value of the first lot in an auction is second only to the finale lot, and the value of the next lot in the middle is average.

Sitting there, Li Qing and Li Lie chatted quietly while flipping through the list of auction items.

Time passed unknowingly, one piece after another was auctioned, some of which he was interested in occasionally, but most of them were too expensive and eventually gave up.

It soon came to the later stage of the auction, and the value of each lot went up all the way, and it didn't take long for the finale of the four auctions.

It was obvious that everyone in the drowsy auction venue was refreshed, and Li Qing also cheered up, because he had just seen the finale of the last four auction items and an unknown gem, and found that two of them were quite suitable for him. , hoping to win one.

The first is a finished battleship, a standard knight type, unmodified, already equipped with common fifth-generation weapon accessories, as long as you buy it, you can immediately pull it out to fight. The starting price is 20 billion.

The second lot is a relic, the mask of the Pirate King, which has the effect of summoning a pirate cruiser and three pirate gunboats after consuming a large amount of energy blocks, and equipped with standard combat pirate crews. Use it once, the starting price is 50 billion.

The third piece is a standard frigate manufacturing blueprint from the United Civilization of the Shata Tribe. The reason why it is the finale is because this blueprint can be used 100,000 times, and the starting price is 10 billion.

The fourth piece is an ancient relic level hidden treasure chest, which has not been opened before, with a starting price of 15 billion.

As for the last unknown gem, it is the king of bids. The finale of the finale, there is usually one in a large auction. Unfortunately, the king of bids will not be made public before it is auctioned, and it is impossible to know what it is in advance.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being an annual black market auction, and the finale auction is good in both value and rarity.

The four finale pieces are ranked in no particular order, but the first finale item to be auctioned is the No. 3 frigate manufacturing blueprint with the lowest starting price, which is also one of Li Qing's goals.

This thing comes from the United Civilization of the Shata tribe, and I don’t know where it got it. A blueprint can be used 100,000 times. Normally, a one-time frigate is worth 2 million, and 100,000 times should be worth 200 billion star dollars.

But the problem is that this is the frigate of the United Civilization of the Shata tribe. Its technological level is far inferior to that of humans. It is shown on the blueprint that the naked ship attributes of the frigate are far inferior to the attributes of standard human frigates.

Frigate (Shata-class): patrolling, escorting, reconnaissance, security, mine-laying, support for landing, and support for the Marine Corps to land on the planet.

Attributes:

Base hull: 800

Base Armor: 600

Base Shield: 600

Base speed: 100,000 km/h

Default Tactic: Sentinel Tactic.

Fleet slot size: 1.

Guard Core (default)

Components: energy core, superluminal components, thrusters, detectors, combat computers.

Weapon slots: S4, P1.

Common slots: S4, A1.

The basic hull is 200 less than the 1000 of the fifth-generation human frigate, the basic armor and shield are 400 less each, the base speed is 30,000 kilometers slower, and the weapon slot and the general slot are one less. Compared with the human standard Haiyan class The frigate is more than 30% weaker.

If the suppression of weapons is added, five generations fight against three generations, as well as various general accessories and other functional accessories, the overall combat power is suppressed by more than 50%.

What is this concept?

If a single ship is 50% weaker, it can still fight with the command ability. If the whole ship is 50% weaker, it will be completely crushed on a large-scale battlefield.

However, no matter how weak it is, it is still a battleship, a battleship that can be used 100,000 times.

If it can be made, it will not affect the use.

It's just that the technology of the hull is not as good as the standard of the human empire, but the equipped weapons, general slots, and other accessories are all of the standard of the human empire, so the gap is not that big.

It is definitely not good to be the main force, but if it is only used as cannon fodder and patrol fleet, then it is still no problem.

"15 billion!"

Li Qing raised his sign and directly added 900 million to the previous asking price of 14.1 billion.

Li Lie asked strangely:

"What do you want this for?"

"16 billion!"

The price was lowered by 15.5 billion again, and he replied:

"I have a shipyard that I can use."

Immediately after finishing speaking, someone asked for a price of 18 billion, which directly suppressed 2 billion, but Li Qing raised his sign without hesitation:

"20 billion!"

"Okay, this gentleman bids 20 billion, is there a boss who offers a higher price!"

The host's tone was passionate and passionate, but there were not many actual bids. In addition to Li Qing, more than a dozen people were bidding the same price, and as the value rose, some people gradually withdrew from the bidding.

It is normal, the frigate blueprint market has a lot of shipments, most players with shipyards have small shipyards, and of course choose standard frigates when the output is not large, and few people buy this low-end product exclusively.

Those who bid with him are basically the bosses or representatives who own large shipyards.

The rest of the people took turns to bid, and soon the price of the drawing was raised to 30 billion.

Li Qing looked at his remaining assets, and whispered to Li Lie:

"Lend me some money later."

"35 billion!"

Li Lie said in surprise:

"Boss, this thing is not worth 35 billion!"

Li Qing smiled without saying a word, without explaining.

There were a lot of people who thought the same as him, and many people who had bid before saw this and shook their heads and put down the sign.

"Add 5 billion directly, crazy!"

An annoyed fat man inserted the brand into the slit of the scantily clad beauty, and gave up the bid.

But the two players sitting next to him looked at each other, and Lu Qing on the left whispered:

"Brother, do we want to give it a shot?"

Lu Yi hesitated for a moment:

"Will it set fire to himself? If he finds out that we gave up, wouldn't it be a blow to his hands?"

Lu Qing smiled and said:

"Of course we won't make a move."

After speaking, he opened the communication and sent a message to someone. After a while, a man sitting not far from them raised his head and held up a sign:

"36 billion!"

"Okay, someone bid 36 billion now, is there a higher bid?"

The host wished that there would be bids all the time, and was very happy.

Li Qing looked over with a frown, hesitated for a moment, and continued to raise the sign:

"37 billion."

The man raised his sign without hesitation:

"38 billion!"

Li Qing was annoyed for a while, his mind moved, his eyes flashed, and there was a loud noise in his ears, and he heard a familiar voice in the crowd of noisy voices:

"40 billion should be his psychological expectation, and he will stop later."

He quickly turned his head to look in a certain direction, pinpointed a certain seat among the crowd of people, and saw Lu Qing who had also turned his head to look over.

Li Qing only glanced at it, then turned his gaze away, and turned down the sign, expressing his abandonment of bidding.

At this time, the auction host also saw his action and said loudly:

"Now it's 38 billion, is there anyone bidding?"

"38 billion times."

The host looked at Li Qing and paused for a while, Lu Yi looked at Li Qing with an ugly face, and Lu Qing explained in a low voice to the other side of the communication with some embarrassment.

Ten seconds later, the host saw that Li Qing hadn't raised the sign, so he knew that he really gave up, so he picked up the golden hammer and smashed it down without hesitation:

"38 billion times, congratulations to Mr. Cai Qi from Halo for taking pictures of this rare frigate manufacturing blueprint."

That Cai Qi from the halo sat there with a weary look on his face, and wanted to explode, but at this time the place was not right, and he was extremely annoyed at the Lu brothers who encouraged him.

This thing has no effect. Although the team has its own shipyard, the team shipyard is different from the commercial shipyard. The commercial shipyard faces the public. No matter how low-end it is, as long as it is cheap, people will want it, but the team is all elites. Who would want it? Such a low-end frigate.

"Want to cheat me, dream!"

Although he didn't get what he wanted, Li Qing wasn't too shocked. This thing is the best, and there is no loss. Anyway, the blueprint of the most warship in the trading market is the frigate. This is the largest output, and there is no such thing as being sold out. Happening.

I want to buy this one, but I just want to get it cheaply. 100,000 times can be enough for him to use it for a long time.

No matter what they think, the auction is still going on.

The second lot is an ancient relic-level treasure chest, which is the kind of treasure chest he just gambled on. The ancient relic-level is a level above the fifth-level treasure chest. In theory, it can produce anything that the player encounters at this stage, including the fearless flagship. Even the blueprint for the manufacture of the Titan super flagship.

But that is only in theory, in fact, there is a high probability that other good things of equal value will be produced.

Yes, although the shipment of ancient relic-level treasure chests is still a probabilistic issue, the bottom line has been greatly increased, which means that no matter how bad the things in it are, it will not be so bad. I dare not say that the capital will be guaranteed, but no loss will be made where to go.

Of course, the premise is that the auction price should not be too outrageous.

Li Qing has a little interest in this stuff.

But when he saw the price raised to 60 billion stars in just one minute, he clearly gave up the bid.

Normally, the price of an ancient relic-level treasure chest on the market is around 50 billion star dollars, and 60 billion star dollars has already exceeded it.

That is to say, the source of this ancient relic-level treasure box is the same place as the mask of the relic Pirate King, which is also the finale. The estimated bid has a high probability that something good will come out, which is equivalent to a gamble.

This has exceeded Li Qing's psychological expectations, so although he also thought so, he did not bid in the end.

Five minutes later, the price of this thing was directly raised to 105 billion stars, and it was finally taken down by an unknown man wearing a mask.

Soon it was the turn of the third lot, a fully equipped battleship.

The base price of this thing is 20 billion, and the first one raised the sign to directly bid 70 billion, just like a basin of ice water to calm down all the players who are eager to try.

This price has exceeded the overall value of this battleship by several billions, and the rest is all a premium.

However, in this situation, there are still people who want it. After more than ten seconds of silence, someone raised a sign:

"71 billion."

"72 billion."

"73 billion."

The bids alternated one by one, adding 1 billion each time, and when it reached 80 billion in one breath, no one bid finally, and it was still won by the masked man just now.

"Tsk tsk, too rich."

Li Lie clicked his tongue, looked at the last lot on the lot information in front of him and said:

"The last treasure, I don't know what price this thing can fetch."

Li Qing shook his head and said:

"Whatever his sky-high price is, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

Li Lie nodded in empathy:

"Yeah, it has nothing to do with us, and our whole team can't afford it."

As they expected, the first bid of 200 billion was the masked man who received two lots just now.

"Really rich!"

Li Lie said with emotion:

"It is estimated to be the leader of a large team in the outpost."

Li Qing also thought so, but the man was wearing a mask, and he didn't know which large team he was from.

Afterwards, they watched the movie the whole time, watching the price of this relic rising all the way, quickly rising from 200 billion to 300 billion. At this moment, Li Qing had the illusion that money was not money, but just a series of numbers.

A few minutes later, the bidding speed of the last three people was getting slower and slower, and each time the price was increased from 5 billion to 1 billion, everyone knew that the final transaction price of this relic was about 320 billion to 330 billion. between.

Five minutes later, the masked man died laughing and won the treasure at a price of 332 billion stars.

After filming the four finales, the temperature of the venue not only did not drop, but continued to rise, because the finale of the last finale is about to appear.

Generally speaking, if you want to be the finale of the finale, the value must be much higher than the finale, just a little higher is not enough, so not all auctions will have the finale of the finale.

This black market auction has just been held for a few years. This year is the second time. It is estimated that in order to build a reputation for the brand, the auction items are likely to be transferred from other places. Too perverted lot came to the finale.

Li Qing was also lucky enough to rush over just two days ago when he heard the news, otherwise he would have missed it.

As the background music sounded, dots of starlight fell from the sky and gathered at one point, the space was distorted for a while, Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw a powerful psyker wrapped in a circle of twisted psychic energy walking out of the psychic energy passage.

In the eyes of the non-psychics outside, it was accompanied by a little bit of starlight falling, and a distorted figure that could not be seen clearly emerged out of thin air.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now announcing the finale of this auction's finale."

Without delay, he picked up the silk scarf covered by a delicate and gorgeous crystal plate held by the psyker, and a burst of golden light shone through, revealing a.
