The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 173： Lords and Promotions
Chapter 173 Lord and Promotion

You must know that when those seniors took down the planet of life, most of them had been pioneered for ten years, and some of them had been mixed for 20 to 30 years before they had enough strength to compete. Like Li Qing, he successfully captured a planet in the fifth year of pioneering. Not to mention that the Li family of Qinghe has never had one, even in the history of the United Human Empire of more than 10,000 years, there is no such thing as Liao Liao.

It is precisely because of this that the family attaches great importance to him.

Five years of development, and there is still a five-year development period. During this period, there will be no competition from senior pioneers who have been mixed for more than ten or even decades.

What made the family pay more attention was the marriage between Li Qing and the Jinmen Yu clan, which gave him the support of the Jinmen Yu clan.

The sky is high here, the emperor is far away, and the distance from the headquarters of the United Human Empire is too far. Large fleets cannot come here, and without the support of the Yu family, many supplies cannot be transported. With their support, competitors can be confined to a very small range, at most The three major legions in Jinmen are a bit competitive.

But the problem is that the three major legions are inextricably linked with the Jinmen Yu clan. They may not necessarily compete with Li Qing, and there is a high probability that they will directly compete for other planets after ten years.

There is not only one living planet here, there are eight in total, which is enough for their family to grab one, and it is unlikely to take the risk of offending Mrs. Yu.

You must know that all kinds of materials needed for the construction of the planet in the early and mid-term basically come from Jinmen. If you offend the Yu family, the materials will not be transported, and the planet will not be able to develop.

Combining these conditions, in the eyes of the Li family of Qinghe, Li Qing will have a high probability of developing, and there will be more than one planet of life. In the future, many people may be promoted to a new Star Marine Lord. The two military leaders will greatly increase both their strength and their internal status and influence within the United Empire of Mankind.

It is important to know that these grants are without any conditions. It can be said that they are free grants, and there is no requirement for him to pay, or the conditions for what he will pay in the future.

This is not required.

As long as he can develop and succeed in being promoted to Star Marine Lord, this is the best reward for the family.

The meeting was held in a cheerful and friendly atmosphere. As before, Li Qing accompanied them on a tour of the territory, exchanging opinions on a series of requirements during the journey. After the tour was over, the list of requirements was completed.

He didn’t ask for anything too outrageous, and the family that was too outrageous couldn’t get it. The main thing was money, various talents, and immigrant population.

These need a very suitable excuse. Although the restrictions on the support of the major families for their children are relaxed, it does not mean that they will just give money for any excuse. You have to find a relatively reasonable and reasonable excuse.

For example, before Jinmen Yu directly paid a 50% premium to buy his batch of blueprints for accessories. Although it seems stupid to have a lot of money, it still makes sense, at least it didn’t double it for you.

So after thinking about it for a while, Li Qing decided to give full play to his advantages and sell mines.

Use the palm universe to refine the raw ore, and then transform it into various rare minerals and sell them to Qinghe Li, who will buy them at a premium of 20%.

Rare minerals are inherently valuable, and the prices vary in different places. It is completely reasonable for the family to buy them at a premium of 20%.

Li Hongye is very interested in Li Qing’s idea. Not only the family, but any military leader has a great demand for rare ore, because some high-end weapon accessories and battleships need rare ore, especially the major star sea lords, Their sixth-generation warships, weapons, and accessories all need various rare ores, and the demand is very large, and the supply has always been in short supply.

It is said that the main reason why those star sea lords’ warships are not equipped with all six levels is that there are not enough rare and ultra-rare elements.

Li Qing didn’t know whether this rumor was true or not, but the fleet of Ye and his son was indeed full of fifth-generation technology, and there was no sixth-generation technology.

Buy at a premium of 20%, and gather enough quantity to sell to the Star Sea Lords who are in high demand at one time. Not only will you not lose money, but you can also make a lot of money.

”No, I can use Palm Universe to run a business to make money?”

Li Qing suddenly thought of this once abandoned method of making money.

In the past, he was afraid of offending the merchants in Yumen, and the distance was too long and time-consuming, but now it is different. He directly does not go to Jinmen to run a business.

Collect tens of thousands or even tens of trillions of cash to go directly to the hinterland of the United Empire of Mankind to buy supplies, and then return to the territory to sell to players to earn the difference.

Or go directly to the United Empire of Mankind and run business between different provinces to make money.

Anyway, most of them are one-shot deals, and they are not afraid of offending local businessmen.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this method is feasible. Anyway, when he establishes a territory, he has to develop the territory. He will not start the second large-scale military operation against the United Civilization of the Shata Tribe for a long time. During this time, he has to vigorously develop territorial economy.

He will not be in a hurry to seize the second planet. If he can, he would rather drag it on until five years later or even longer.

Now the advantage is with him, as long as the delay lasts longer, his own strength will become stronger, and others will not be able to keep up with him.

Wait five to ten years, with his development speed, at that time, he can build a division-level fleet with his own ability, plus repair the mobile fortress in the isolated galaxy, then he will have enough strength to sweep the sand tower tribal united civilization.

”It is indeed possible to do this.”

At that time, Yu Yuefei can be in charge of the development of the territory, leaving Ding Youran and other subordinates to look after the house, and go out to run a business to make money by herself, and go home about half a year or so.

When the territory is established, the family will be separated. If you owe so much money, when will you pay it back if you don’t make money.

The family, like the Yu family, is also planning to establish an embassy in his territory.

Strictly speaking, an embassy can only be established between a star marine lord and a star sea lord, but the star lord is eligible to establish an embassy after being recognized by the United Empire of Mankind and entering the Senate.

However, most ordinary lords will only establish embassies if they have deep cooperation with military lords or lords, and most military lords will not establish an embassy. At most, they will build an ordinary office.

Li Qing has only received requests from the Yu family in Jinmen and the Li family in Qinghe to establish embassies, but has not yet received any requests from other military families to establish embassies.

With the embassy, ​​it will be very convenient to do anything in the future, and it will also be convenient for Li Qing to learn about the internal news of the United Human Empire from the embassy.

Although becoming a lord will be listed in the Senate, but he is weak now and has nothing to do with it. It is difficult to obtain too much information. With the embassy, ​​he can share it directly from the Li family in Qinghe or the Yu family in Jinmen.

The embassy’s first ambassador was Li Lie’s father Li Lun.

Li Hongye didn’t stay here for long, and left after only a week. There were more than a hundred people when they came, and only a dozen people when they left. The more than one hundred young men who came with him all stayed.

In his words, these are all the children of the family who are the same age as Li Qing or a few years older, and most of them come from the descendants of some important members of the family. Because the development failed and they didn’t want to go home to farm, they arranged to come over to help him.

Basically, the ability is average, but not too bad.

After all, he has also received a standard aristocratic elite education, and the lower limit of his ability lies there.

Li Qing didn’t refuse, it happened that he was short of people under his command. After the disbandment of the legion, there was a shortage of people everywhere in the territory.

All of them are trustworthy by the same clan, and they have been hit by failures in pioneering. They are not high-spirited and easy to master. In addition, they have certain skills, which can be regarded as very good talents.

It is worth mentioning that the family team did not come here empty-handed this time, but brought him a lot of good things.

First of all, it is a destroyer mother chip that he has been thinking about.

Although it is only the first generation destroyer mother chip, but because it is only the first generation and cheap, he can easily get it for only 100 billion star dollars.

The second benefit is a full 2,000 standard battleship blueprints. According to the cheap father, it was originally decided to take 1,000, and the old patriarch later took out 1,000, exactly 2,000.

But with these 2,000 copies, the family will have no battleship blueprints to supply within the next year.

A total of 2,000 battleship blueprints, the family quoted a price of 800 million, a total of 1.6 trillion star dollars were taken away, saving 400 billion.

That’s all for the time being, and the family also considers his current funds, and he can’t buy too much.

For Li Qing, apart from other things, the destroyer mother chip alone helped him a lot. With the three chips in hand, he can start designing the **** ship mother chip only after upgrading the destroyer mother chip to level five.

That thing has the armor, shield and firepower of a cruiser, the high speed of a destroyer, and the flexibility of a frigate. The combined combat effectiveness of the three is definitely much stronger than that of a cruiser.

A standard brigade-class fleet has 50,000 frigates, 10,000 destroyers, and about 5,000 cruisers. If it is replaced with 65,000 escorts, the combat effectiveness will soar many times.

And these are all his unique ship types, which belong to the inheritance he inherited from ancient civilizations. No other star navy lord or even the star sea lord has such a multi-functional warship.

Not long after the family representative left, Li Qing received a representative from the expeditionary army to discuss with him about the relocation of the expeditionary army headquarters.

There are two relocation plans for the expeditionary force. One plan is to move the expeditionary force headquarters to a galaxy next to the reef lair, and the other plan is to move the expeditionary force headquarters directly to the reef lair galaxy. What Yu Qingzhi meant was to ask Li Qing which plan he thought was better.

This Li Qingzao had an idea, so he replied directly:

”Please tell Commander Yu that the headquarters of the expeditionary force can be moved directly to the Reef Lair galaxy. I have already reserved a place.”

The representative nodded:

”I will convey your meaning back to the military department.

It is almost unnecessary to think about this, the headquarters of the expeditionary force must be placed in the territory.

At this stage, the players on Zutar’s side are all relying on the expeditionary army. Although some players will come over after he establishes the territory, this is nothing compared to his exclusive enjoyment.

Although players cannot collect taxes, they can activate the economy. Now the cluster effect will be formed first, and more players will be attracted in the future.

Moreover, moving the headquarters of the expeditionary force here can also greatly strengthen the defense of the territory, and it will be more at ease when the territory is established.

Half a month after making the decision, a large number of unfamiliar player fleets suddenly appeared in the galaxy. Li Qing quickly received the news that the players from the expeditionary army moved here early after receiving the news of the expeditionary force’s relocation headquarters. .

This is just the beginning, and a large number of player fleets will come one after another.

”An announcement must be made, otherwise too many people will cause confusion.”

In the temporary legion headquarters in Star City, Li Qing is having a meeting with the core members of the legion to discuss how to deal with this wave of players.

It is foreseeable that there will be a large number of player fleets coming over in the next few days, and it will definitely be chaotic.

Although I have seen a large number of players in the outpost before, most of the time the players did not gather in the outpost, but scattered around to play their own games.

According to the general data, the total number of players in Zutar is estimated to be about 10 million, and this number is still growing. Some players from the hinterland of the United Human Empire continue to transfer to join the development here through the star gate of Jinmen.

The relocation of the outpost will definitely attract a large number of players, even those who rarely return to the outpost will come to find their way.

When there are too many people, dragons and snakes are mixed together, so there is no guarantee that someone will cause trouble.

He exclusively owns a living planet, occupying the core of the entire Zutar star field. Even if other people can win a living planet in the future, they will not be able to compare with the core position of the reef lair. It is impossible to say that no one is jealous, absolutely There will be trouble.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Qing said:

”Choose some people to form a law enforcement team to patrol the galaxy and find troublemakers, regardless”

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and then everyone felt that the space where Li Qing was sitting was distorted. There was a hint of surprise and joy on his face, and he suddenly changed the subject and said to everyone present:

”The territory has been established, please wait a moment, I have important things to do now.”

After speaking, he stood up, reached out and pulled open a three-meter-high black hole door and walked in.

As soon as he entered, his whole body burst into dazzling light, and he looked at the center of the universe in his palm with a look of joy and murmured:

”Finally awakened!”

As soon as the voice fell, the whole person began to blur, and quickly condensed into a stream of light, which flashed towards the center of the universe in the palm, and appeared on the edge of the high-dimensional fortress of the witnesses of the stars in an instant, and disappeared without entering it.

In the next second, the entire universe in the palm shook violently, the high-dimensional fortress suddenly lit up, and an inexplicable fluctuation swept across the entire universe in the palm, and there was endless energy at the edge of the universe in the palm. As this fluctuation swept to the edge, the infinite The endless dark energy suddenly began to burn.

If Li Qing were here, he would be surprised to find that the edge of the universe in the palm of his hand, which had been fixed all along, suddenly began to expand as the endless dark energy burned on the edge.

Yes, the space in the palm universe has increased and expanded.

But it’s a pity that he doesn’t have time to look here at this time. His consciousness is in the center of the universe in his palm at this time, and he is slowly realizing the incomparably powerful power after he also awakened as the Negative Star.

After more than half a year of condensing, after he successfully became a lord, the body and immortal soul and will of the negative star who had been in a condensed state finally met a certain condition and successfully condensed out.
