The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

"The finale of this auction is a mother blueprint chip - a blueprint for the construction of a frigate of an unknown civilization that has been destroyed, the second generation of technological level, the starting price is 500 billion star dollars, and each increase is at least 10 billion star dollars."

The host of the auction house enthusiastically popularized the origin of this item to all players who were shocked after the lot came out:

"Actually, I don't need to explain. Everyone knows what this is, but I still need to introduce it carefully according to the process."

"The so-called mother blueprint chip refers to the crystallization of civilization technology after a civilization's technological level has reached a certain level. For example, the mother blueprint chip that is about to be auctioned represents the scientific research of the entire civilization after the technological level of this civilization reaches the second level. The mother blueprint of the second-generation frigate researched and developed by the power, anyone who owns this mother blueprint will have the ability to build unlimited frigates corresponding to the blueprint."

"At the same time, having one's own set of fifth-generation mother blueprints is also one of the necessary conditions for being promoted to Star Marine Master."

"Everyone should be glad that this is just a crystallization of the second-generation technological civilization. In addition, the owner of the lot needs to sell it immediately for unknown reasons, so he can appear here. But if he can wait for half a year, he will appear in the hinterland of the United Empire of Mankind. At that time The starting price is at least three trillion yuan."

"Of course, considering the rush of the auction, everyone doesn't have enough cash. The owner of the lot allows everyone to raise funds after the auction, or by bartering. You can take out some rare treasures and communicate with the owner of the lot anonymously. It can be replaced by other items through the appraisal by the professional appraisers of this auction house."

Having said so much in one breath, the auctioneer took a breath and continued:

"The owner of the lot does not have any restrictions on the transaction method. As long as the owner of the lot is interested, it can be regarded as a transaction method. You are even allowed to trade with current ships, or the stocks or shares you own. The value is determined by the current market price."

"Now."

The auctioneer tapped the golden hammer lightly and said loudly:

"The auction has officially started, please bid!"

The auction hall was completely silent, and no one spoke.

It's not that no one is interested, but everyone is waiting to see who will bid first.

It can be said that not many people present have such a high cash flow, and they must use other methods to offset the price, which prevents the auction from being able to bid at random like before.

Li Lie waited for a while and no one bid, and said in Li Qing's ear:

"Boss, do you want to make an offer?"

Li Qing glanced at him with strange eyes, Li Lie laughed and said:

"I'm just asking, asking."

But what he didn't know was that Li Qing was indeed calculating the bargaining chip in his hand, to see if he could get this thing back.

Unlimited frigate mother chips, this is the best of the best for him who has a high-dimensional fortress dock with a full 3200 shipbuilding capacity, and it is a perfect match.

Since unlocking the Casting Furnace of Light, the cost of shipbuilding materials has dropped significantly. After all, the role of that thing can be converted into high-value materials with the cheapest materials. In theory, it can convert worthless stones into gold, although it needs to consume More energy, which is capital.

The most reasonable way is to directly convert the cheapest iron ore into the highest purity steel and other metal elements, and then directly synthesize alloys that meet shipbuilding standards.

With this, the cost of raw materials used to be about 60% of the total cost of a bare boat, but now the cost is only half of the original cost, about 30% of the cost of materials plus 10% of the cost of drawings, half of the cost of labor, even if a bunch of messy things are added. The operating cost will never exceed 50% at most.

In other words, a standard frigate in his hands cost less than 10 million yuan, but he could sell it to an outpost for 25 million yuan, making a net profit of 15 million yuan.

This is just the bare boat material, and other materials for building weapon accessories can also be transformed.

It turns out that the total cost of a fully equipped standard frigate is 110 million, and it can earn about 32 million.

Now the total cost of a fully equipped standard frigate is only 70.1 million, and it can earn 71.9 million.

"hiss!"

Of course, the basic attributes of the frigate of the second-level civilization must belong to the second-class disabled, far inferior to the standard human frigate, and it is estimated that it is not qualified to be cannon fodder.

But this is not a problem, technology can be upgraded.

You must know that Li Qing has now awakened the talent of the Son of the Stars, and has the ability to attune the servants of light.

He plans to enlighten several super light servant scientists in the next few months, one for each of the three major categories of physics, biology, and engineering, and will gradually enlighten more scientists in the days to come to form a golden mythical scientific research team. The team built a super laboratory in the palm universe warehouse area, specializing in technology development.

The low-level technology obtained in the hands of this alien civilization can be thoroughly analyzed by some high-level top scientists, and then upgraded layer by layer until it reaches the level of human technology, and then surpasses it.

From the second-level mother chip to the third-level mother chip, and then to the fourth-level mother chip, until the fifth-level mother chip is on the same level as human beings, and then you can continue to study and upgrade to the sixth-generation mother chip, which is the necessary precondition for becoming the Star Sea Lord one.

And these are not very far away from Li Qing. After all, a team of more than a dozen gold-named mythical-level super scientists is equivalent to Einstein, Newton, Planck, Faraday, Maxwell, Feynman, Schrödinger, and Diane in the earth age. Lark, Rutherford, Heisenberg and other big names jointly formed a scientific research team, and many top scientists at the historical level gathered together to form a storm of wisdom. The technological upgrade is not fast.

It can be said that when the innate talent of the Son of the Stars is officially awakened, it is a matter of time before Li Qing's rise.

How fast he rises depends on how fast he makes money.

But at this moment, Li Qing felt that his money was still too little, too little.

The starting price is 500 billion, how much will it take?

He counted all the things on his body except for the sale of goods, and found that even if the sum was not enough, even the entire net worth of Li Lie, Li Qi and others were not enough, including loans, and going back to the family to receive funds and so on. not enough.

"Skull hurts!"

"500 billion!"

Like everyone else, he turned his head violently and saw someone holding a sign at the back of the venue.

Everyone was in an uproar, shocked that someone could pay 50 million in cash.

But after the uproar, it took a long time for no one to bid again.

But the auctioneer didn't make a sound, and there was no inquiry and countdown like normal auctions. Like this special auction method, the time is usually very long, and it is the owner of the lot who ultimately decides whether to trade.

After almost a minute of silence, the second person stood up and held up a sign. Li Qing saw that it was the man wearing a mask. He held up a sign and said:

"I need something else in exchange."

The auctioneer nodded and said:

"Yes, but you need to pay a deposit of one billion stars to get the friend of the auction owner to communicate with you. 90% of the deposit will be refunded to you after the auction. If you find malicious bids or go back on your word, the deposit will not be refunded."

"Can."

Then the masked man was invited to a box behind the auction house, where he probably communicated privately.

Li Lie said speechlessly:

"Nanai's, the guarantee deposit is one billion, and if it is successful, 100 million will be deducted. It is really exciting. I have never seen such a high-end auction."

Li Qing agrees with this sentence in his heart. Although he has never been to other auction houses, the standard of this black market auction house is indeed quite high-end. It is estimated that it is rare to see such a mother chip in the hinterland of the United Empire of Mankind in ten years. High value lot.

Just like what the auctioneer said at the beginning, if the owner of the lot did not have a special reason to sell it immediately, it would inevitably be taken to a top auction house in the hinterland of the empire as the finale, and it would not be circulated here at all.

It has to be said that this black market auction house has gained a reputation after this auction, and its business will definitely get better and better in the future. It will be difficult for other auction houses to compete with it.

With the beginning, some people paid money to get the contact information of the owner of the lot and began to communicate in private.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment, then held up a sign and asked for his contact information.

Although there is no possibility, but you have to ask, so that you will completely give up, and the 100 million star yuan is still a loss.

After paying the deposit, he was invited to a private room, and then the light curtain popped up on his left wrist, and he found himself pulled into a group chat, in which there were eleven other people besides himself, all of whom were anonymous, including himself. .

He was in a daze, and one of the anonymous people asked:

"You have something of value."

Li Qing thought about it, and posted all the valuable things on hand, including all the shipbuilding materials on hand, as well as the finished warships that have been built, as well as the materials and ships in his personal base, comprehensively It is estimated that there are hundreds of billions or so.

Even for the two battleships under construction, he took out the other one that was just started.

A set of planetary environment modification technologies, including the planet that has reached the standard of the fourth type of planet, and the wreckage of the warship worth two to three hundred billion in orbit.

Of course, the wreckage of these warships certainly cannot be counted as hundreds of billions, after all, they have not been recovered, but they can be converted into tens of billions.

Planetary environment transformation technology plus four-type planetary standard planets can also be converted into a part.

A set of genetic ascension potions.

The blueprints of 6 Black Hawk frigates, 2 standard Knight-class battleship blueprints, and 2 Lord-class battleship blueprints obtained in the copy.

And 100 billion star dollars in cash.

He himself has 53 billion, and he can ask Li Lie and Li Qi to make up some later, and he should be able to borrow it.

One by one, the things that he could take out were put on the table, but none of the eleven people showed any expression.

Until he was almost posed, there was no movement for a while, and the anonymous person who spoke just now said:

"Sorry, you can't attract us with these things."

Another anonymous person who couldn't see the appearance said:

"Among those who bid us, your bid is only in the middle."

Li Qing paused and said:

"I can help all eleven of you to awaken your psionic powers, and I can guarantee that you can successfully ascend your psionic powers in the future."

"Um?"

In an instant, all eleven people looked up and looked at each other, and one of them asked:

"You need to confirm what you said just now. You said that you can help us all awaken our psionic powers and guarantee the successful ascension of psionic powers?"

Li Qing nodded:

"Yes, I am a psychic myself, and I have successfully gathered a psychic saint in the Void Realm. If you ask around casually, you will know that I have a psychic saint that can indeed help you do it."

"Well"

They all hesitated, and one of them said:

"Wait a moment, let's discuss it."

Then eleven people disconnected collectively.

Li Qing let out a breath and leaned back.

This idea just came to mind just now. Although it is a bit troublesome and the process is long, it is really the most valuable thing he can come up with.

Possessing a psychic saint, he can indeed forcibly help others to activate psychic energy, but this will greatly consume the original spirituality of the psychic saint, thereby affecting the strength and potential of the psychic saint. In the mysterious and unpredictable virtual environment, If the strength of a psychic saint suddenly drops sharply, unpredictable dangers will easily occur.

It is also his psychic sage who is next to the psychic sage of Yu Yueyao, the son of the virtual world. They are all allies now that he dares to do this. If he is alone, he will not dare to do this.

However, after the operation, he had to communicate with Yu Yueyao and reach a cooperation agreement with her, even if he took a step back, it would be useless, so as not to lose his protection in time and be targeted by the existence in the virtual world.

After waiting for a long time, eleven people went online again, and one of them said:

"Your new condition is really attractive, but your bid is too low. If you can come up with another 1000 billion stars, this thing will be yours."

"So expensive?"

"Because the total value of the highest price has exceeded 2.2 trillion stars."

"."

Li Qing felt speechless for the first time.

They believed what they said. At the beginning, Jialan was able to pool two trillion yuan to run a business, and the Jialan team was not in the top ten at the outpost. Now that it has been so long, any leader of the top ten team can scrape together the money.

In fact, 2.2 trillion star yuan is definitely not the final price, and it may be more expensive later, but the temptation of psykers is too great.

Compared with other money, which is something outside of the body and can be earned back after all, psykers are good things that you never have or will never have. It is equivalent to directly obtaining an additional talent second only to the purple epic level, directly greatly improving their core competitiveness.

The most important thing is to have one person, which is the key factor to impress them.

Of course, the premise is that he can demonstrate this ability and make sure he can do it to complete the transaction.

But now the problem is coming, he still needs to pay one trillion stars.

so much money

Li Qing spread his hands and said:

"I don't have that much cash right now, and I can't get it together."

"You can pay in installments."

"How to install?"

"Month?"

"I am now penniless after the transaction, and I must have had no money in the first few months."

"Pay a season?"

Li Qing thought for a while and made a suggestion:

"How about this, the first payment will be made after one year, and the payment will be made every month after one year."

Eleven people thought about it, and one of them said:

"Let's discuss it again."

Then disconnected again.

In another box, the two brothers Lu Qing, Lu Yi, and Cai Qi, the halo, were gathered in front of the table and waited quietly.

Suddenly at a certain moment, Lu Qing's communication sounded, and the light curtain opened and popped up, showing Ye Xiao on it.
