The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 106： The third generation frigate mother chip
Chapter 106 The third-generation frigate mother chip

Li Qing is in a good mood today. The frigate mother chip purchased at such a high price has finally been promoted to the third-generation frigate mother chip through the efforts of many subordinates, which means that he can let his scientists continue to handcuff blueprints from this mother chip. Used in shipbuilding.

Compared with the second-generation frigate, the third-generation frigate has one more weapon slot and one general-purpose slot, but the most important thing is that the third-generation frigate can be equipped with fifth-generation technology weapon accessories, while the second-generation frigate cannot, and its upper limit is fourth generation.

This is the main reason why he must upgrade the mother chip to the third-generation frigate before starting shipbuilding and sales. Although the second-generation frigate can also be used, it cannot be equipped with the fifth-generation technological products common to human civilization. The strength is too poor. No one wants to be cannon fodder.

Although the basic attributes and slots of the third-generation frigate are not as many as the fifth-generation frigate, as long as it can be equipped with the fifth-generation technology, compared with the equipment limit of the second-generation frigate, which is only four-level technology, it is a qualitative change.

Although it is still a lot worse than the fifth-generation frigate, as long as it is not a qualitative gap, there is no major problem.

Anyway, for medium and large teams, frigates are originally used as cannon fodder, and this difference is harmless.

It is worth mentioning that because the fifth-level and sixth-level technology are the watershed between conventional civilization and advanced civilization, only the fifth-generation warships can be equipped with sixth-level technology. .

In the laboratory, Li Qing watched with his own eyes the chief engineer, Chu Hanqiu, who put the mother chip on a professional handcuffed instrument. As he started the instrument, wisps of data flew out from the mother chip glowing with golden light. The streamer fell and merged into a row of blank chips placed below.

About two minutes later, the data copying of the first chip was completed, and Chu Hanqiu took out the first chip in a row that had already been handcuffed and handed it to Li Qing.

Take the chip and check its attributes for the first time—the blueprint for manufacturing a third-generation frigate can manufacture a standard third-generation frigate, which can be used once.

”very good.”

Li Qing nodded, and put away the chip first.

After another quarter of an hour or so, the second chip was taken out, and he immediately checked it—the third-generation frigate manufacturing blueprint, which can build a standard third-generation frigate and can be used ten times.

The smile on his face was even brighter, and the joy in his heart was beyond words.

After spending so much and taking such a long time, this seed can finally bear fruit.

”How many blueprints can be unlocked per day for the frigate mother chip?”

Chu Hanqiu immediately replied:

”Depending on the technical level, a maximum of 100 to 1,000 blueprints can be collected every day, or a blueprint can be used 100 to 1,000 times.”

”That means a maximum of 1,000 copies per day!”

Li Qing automatically ignores the previous hundred, at worst, let one of the Servants of Light be responsible for handcuffing the shells. It is a bit extravagant, but it can maximize efficiency.

He thought for a while and said:

”From now on, first collect a batch of blueprints within this month. From next month, you will continue to study the next generation of frigates, and continue to collect them when you have free time.”

One thousand copies can be handed in a day, which is 365,000 copies a year, which is completely enough and there is a surplus for sale.

Like the blueprints sold on the market, only a small number of them are obtained from the explosion of wild monsters and grave digging, and most of them come from the laboratories of major army masters.

Like mission rewards, they didn’t come out of thin air, they also flowed out from the military master’s laboratory in various ways.

In fact, the major warlords sell a large number of redundant warship blueprints every year, but ordinary players have no channels, and many have never even heard of this matter, and they are not qualified to buy it. It is only the high-level inside the warlords. Welfare.

There are 365,000 frigate blueprints a year, and the market price is 2 million. Even if the internal price is only 1.5 million, it is worth 547.5 billion.

Coupled with higher-value destroyers, cruisers, etc., those warlords earn tens of trillions of income every year just by selling blueprints.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. It is impossible to sell all the drawings, and some of them must be collected.

Although the fleet controlled by any warlord with a history of more than a hundred years is basically full, there is no need to expand the army as crazy as it was at the beginning, but most of the blueprints produced every year will continue to be stored, just in case.

Li Qing is currently in the early stages of development. These blueprints are all useful, and he can’t use them up. He can sell them to the members of the legion, or directly build all the finished warships for sale, so that he can earn more.

The third-generation frigate can only be used as cannon fodder, and the price is naturally not as good as the fifth-generation frigate.

Li Qing carefully checked the material prices of various accessories displayed on the blueprint. The total cost of consumables is about 90% of that of the fifth-generation frigate, but the price can only be sold to 80% of the fifth-generation frigate, which is 10% short.

This is unavoidable. Cannon fodder can only be sold at the price of cannon fodder, and cannot be expected to be the same price as high-end products.

Now the price of a top-equipped standard Haiyan frigate on the market is 142 million star yuan, of which the total cost is 70.1 million yuan, and it can earn about 71.9 million yuan.

Then the total cost of the third-generation frigate in Li Qing’s hands is 63.09 million of 70.1 million, but it can only be sold for 113.6 million of 142 million, and only 50.51 million can be earned.

In addition, the third-generation frigate can also be modified and strengthened, but there are only three modification points.

This can be ignored, no one mods with this.

In general, although the profit is less than 20 million less than the 71.9 million earned by the fifth-generation frigate, it is much more profitable than directly selling the frigate blueprint.

Anyway, his shipbuilding speed is fast and the cost is less than others, so it is still worthwhile.

Stayed in the laboratory for a day, got a thousand frigate blueprints, and immediately threw them to the chief engineer of the shipyard, and immediately started shipbuilding. In the future, frigate blueprints don’t need to be bought, just use this.

Whether it is for sale or for self-use frigates use this.

It doesn’t matter if the strength is poor, it’s just cannon fodder, and the main output is still a big ship.

Besides, with the addition of Servant of Light, even the third-generation frigate can crush the fifth-generation frigate commanded by other players head-on. It seems that it is no different from before.

”Ok, Ok!”

This good news made Li Qing not only in a good mood, but also relieved from the boring mining work every day. After all, every day of mining is equivalent to digging a batch of warships.

This kind of good life lasted for more than half a month without stopping, and he felt that he could continue to dig, but at this time, after squatting for two months, the mechanical ascension body finally stopped following the wandering fleet. When Li Qing routinely took out the token to check, he found that the mechanical ascension body had appeared in another galaxy.

Li Qing was immediately refreshed and laughed loudly:

”I thought you would stay here forever.”

Collect the last meteorite, close the door of the black hole, and the fleet starts again.

Five days later, the fleet appeared in a galaxy that had never been there before, and the token showed that the mechanically ascending combat body had stayed somewhere inside the galaxy for two days without moving.

He did not act rashly, and first put away the entire fleet, leaving only one Black Hawk frigate.

Fleets are too large, easy to spot, and inflexible.

Learn from the previous lesson, this time you must succeed once, this time you will be run away, and it is impossible to catch it again in a short time.

He doesn’t have time to stay here and slowly spend a few months or even more than half a year.

The frigate flew in the direction of the target, and the radar remained silent all the way. Anyway, knowing the coordinates of the target, there was no need to randomly scout around.

It took more than three hours, and the frigate quietly came to a starry sky. At this time, it was less than 100,000 kilometers away from the position displayed by the coordinates.

The battleship stopped first, and then released a dozen unmanned reconnaissance drones disguised as meteorites to slowly slide towards the target area.

Two hours later, the unmanned surveillance plane sent a detection screen.

Li Qing looked at the display on the light curtain in front of him, and there was a huge group of wrecked warships in the starry sky about 100,000 kilometers ahead, extending to an extremely distant direction beyond sight.

The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft did not find the location of the mechanically ascended battle body, but guessed that it should be hidden in this ancient battlefield cemetery, and I don’t know what it is doing.

Li Qing did not act rashly, but continued to order the unmanned reconnaissance plane to probe deep along the edge of this ancient battlefield to see how big this ancient battleship cemetery was.

The so-called ancient battlefield cemetery refers to the pile of wreckage left by ancient large-scale wars.

Not all ancient battlefields dare to be called warship cemeteries, and it has nothing to do with the scale of battles, but ancient battlefields with small battles certainly cannot be preserved forever.

Any ancient battlefield has its abnormalities. It may be related to a task above the epic level, or it is a top grave, or it may contain some special secrets on the battlefield.

Otherwise, after the normal battle is over, most of the ships will automatically disintegrate and disappear, leaving only a few wrecks.

In the battleship cemetery, the general shape of the battleship is preserved, and most of the hulls can be preserved.

The unmanned reconnaissance plane spent two full days circling and up and down this large battleship cemetery with a length and width of 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers, and did not find the mechanically ascended battle body in any direction, indicating that he had been hiding in it without knowing it. doing what.

In such a large wreckage battlefield, what Li Qing saw were countless pieces of metal.

There are countless wrecks in the battlefield of 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers in length and width, all thrown into the casting furnace of light for refining, how much metal can be harvested?

The frigate circled the battlefield for half a circle, found a gap and slowly drove in.

Through the reconnaissance screen of the battleship sensor, it can be clearly seen that the appearance design of these warships is exactly the same as the wreckage of the warships on the orbit of the new headquarters of the Legion, and they are obviously derived from the ruined civilization in the ancient times of this star field.

Because of the long experience, the wreckage of the battleship was corroded by various cosmic rays, the surface was pitch black, and it was full of decay.

Li Qing turned his spiritual sense to the maximum to feel the surrounding area, but he didn’t sense the spirit body for the time being, indicating that there should be no ghosts inside.

But it is also normal, that civilization is taking the route of mechanical ascension, and most of the people who can board the spaceship are robots. They have given up their own soul consciousness and uploaded it to the machine. Evil in the subspace.

Entering the interior of the battleship cemetery, there are wreckage everywhere. The inside is quiet and quiet, without a trace of abnormal noise, and no wild monsters are seen.

The frigate kept silent and slid through the gap between the wreckages, gradually approaching the coordinate position.

The coordinates are still in the cemetery. Although they have been moving, the movement is not large, as if they are looking for something in the cemetery.

The distance between the two sides kept getting closer, and they soon entered within a thousand kilometers. If they were outside this distance, they would be discovered on the spot. However, there were a large number of warship wrecks in the cemetery that blocked the detection of the sensor radar, and neither side was aware of the other’s existence.

900 kilometers

800 kilometers

500 kilometers

One hundred kilometers.

The frigate came before a pile of huge battleship wreckage. Judging from the coordinates of the token, the mechanical ascension body was behind the pile of huge battleship wreckage.

From the outline of the wreckage, it can be seen that there is a dreadnought wreck in this pile of wreckage, but there is also a broken metal structure nearly ten kilometers long wrapped around the surface of the dreadnought wreckage. The tentacles of the mechanical ascension body are somewhat similar.

If you guessed correctly, it should be a part of a dead mechanical ascension body.

The frigate stopped here. Li Qing first entered the Palm Universe and called out all the servants of light. Then, the battleship slowly slid along the edge of the wreckage.

When bypassing the huge bow of the dreadnought, Li Qing saw a flexible octopus-like mechanical ascension battle body in the wreckage pile, occupying the wreckage of a mechanical ascension battle body that was larger than him, and was dismantling it. what.

Li Qing guessed it. It should be that he used the universe in his palm to cut off part of his body before, resulting in an incomplete battle body. This is probably a useful supplement for himself by dismantling the wreckage of other mechanical ascension battle bodies.

The mechanical ascension body did not immediately discover the Black Eagle frigate that slipped out silently, but waited until the pupils of the twelve servants of light shot intense spiritual energy into Li Qing’s body, gathering the spirits of all the servants of light When the strength of his psychic energy can exceed a million levels, the powerful psychic energy fluctuations that cannot be concealed spread through the frigate.

The mechanical ascension body bounced up as if frightened, and before it could do anything, an extremely powerful storm of spiritual energy enveloped the entire wreckage area.

The psionic light waves in the sky vibrated violently, and the wreckage of the dreadnought quickly collapsed in the super-powerful psionic storm, turning into powder, forming a tide of fine metals rushing towards the mechanical ascending battle body, passing through the battle body and pouring into the back of the battle body silently. Inside the door of the black hole opened by the sound.

Compared with the last time, the psychic storm, which was more than ten times stronger, fixed the mechanical ascending body on the spot. The energy shield that had just been stretched twisted violently, as if someone was tearing it violently, and collapsed after only holding on for less than five seconds. .

Then the surface of the mechanical ascension body’s body crackled like fried beans, the metal shells exploded one after another, and countless metal structures were shattered into pieces and flew into the rear black hole gate.

In just a few seconds, the mechanical ascension body shrank by a circle.
