Chapter 188 The Northern Border of the Empire

No need to look, he could feel the curious gazes from the spaceships around him.

Feeling the strange gazes of the crowd and the incompatible style of the spaceship, Li Qing felt like a country bumpkin entering the city for no reason.

Li Qing regretted that he didn't put most of the ships into the universe in his palm first. If there was only one ship, the target would be much smaller.

A wolf got into the flock, and the fleet flew to a certain berth in the galaxy under the guidance of the dispatch tower. In the words of the dispatch tower, military warships cannot berth at the same location as civilian spaceships.

After finally mooring the fleet in an empty starry sky, Li Qing reported a Black Hawk frigate, and drove the ship back to Star City, where the Galaxy Trade Center is located.

This is a galaxy similar to Jinmen. There is only one living planet, but there are a total of eleven transformed planets, including five large planets, six satellites, and a large number of habitation stations.

According to the data, this galaxy is the core of Yunfu Ye's core, and there are a total of more than 50 billion people living in this galaxy.

The Yunfu Ye family has been a military leader for longer than the Qinghe Li family and the Jinmen Yu family. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is a senior military leader. The Yu clan of Jinmen, who is full of martial arts virtues.

After the battleship approaches Star City, the local trading network can be opened. He checked the prices first.

Refined steel at 390 yuan in Jinmen only costs 388.2 yuan a side, which is about two yuan cheaper.

There are not many alone. If there is a trillion in inventory, you can earn 1.8 trillion for nothing.

Similarly, the standard alloy priced at 820 star yuan in Jinmen is only 817.7 star yuan here, which is more than two yuan cheaper.

I looked at other basic materials, and the prices are cheaper than those in Jinmen.

It is worth mentioning that most of the prices in Jinmen are integers, and the prices here are determined by the big market of the United Empire of Mankind, so there will be various mantissas after the decimal point.

Within the United Empire of Mankind, the price of goods will be determined by the output of each place. Where the output of basic materials in this area decreases, the price will rise, but generally it is a short-term increase, because the Stargate connection can be adjusted from other places at any time. When the goods come, neither the increase nor the decrease will be very long.

However, there are still many big businessmen who rely on their huge financial resources to travel back and forth, or directly manipulate prices in the stock market to earn profits.

Of course, Li Qing has no interest in reselling this to make a profit. After learning about the local market, he began to check the blueprint prices of various warships and weapon accessories in the local area, and found that they were not much different from those in Jinmen. The price is uniform throughout the empire.

It is estimated that there is no major war here, and the demand for this area is not high. There are a large number of blueprints for frigates and destroyers on the market.

Excluding those that were too expensive, there were a total of 118 ships, and he took them all in one go, totaling 124 billion stars.

Then searched for 118+369=487 battleship supporting systems, a single set of 6 billion, and a total of 2922 billion star dollars was spent.

In this way, he has a total of 2500+487 battleship blueprints on hand, all equipped with weapon accessories, and can be directly built and equipped with weapons at that time, and they can serve immediately as long as they are equipped with crew.

The cruiser blueprint is not needed, he has it himself, but the blueprint of the cruiser weapon accessories is not. A set of this thing is about 320 million. He bought 7,000 sets in one go, spent 2.24 billion star dollars, and almost cleared the local inventory.

It may be that he swept too many goods at once, and soon attracted a visit from a chamber of commerce called Yunfu, but Li Qing guessed that it should be a member of the Yunfu Ye family, only they have so many redundant blueprints on hand.

He bought 13,000 sets of cruiser weapon accessories at the same price, and spent another 4.16 billion star dollars.

Then, they directly purchased 100,000 sets of destroyer blueprints plus matching destroyer weapon accessories, 70 million sets, and spent a total of 7,000 billion star dollars.

And a full 1 million sets of frigate-related weapon accessories, half of the guard module, half of the sentry module, the unit price is 9 million sets, and a total of 9 trillion star dollars was spent.

Although there are many blueprints, they are nothing to a military leader who has existed for more than two thousand years. They don’t need to go to a few places, and they are enough to gather them locally.

This trip cost 124 billion + 2922 billion + 2240 billion + 4160 billion + 7000 billion + 9000 billion, a total of 25446 billion stars.

Of course he doesn't have so much cash, but such large transactions can be bartered, as long as the goods recognized by both parties can be exchanged for each other.

Li Qing took out refined steel of the same value to this batch of blueprints, which happened to be the goods in the large caravan he encountered before.

Leave the Yunfu Galaxy first, find an uninhabited galaxy and enter the Palm Universe, and transfer the goods in the incoming merchant ship to the transport ship stored in the Palm Universe before driving out, so as not to be recognized by others.

All the refined steel worth 59 trillion yuan was pulled out, returned to the Yunfu Galaxy, and sold directly to the Yunfu Chamber of Commerce at the market price.

Not afraid of being seen, he jumped thousands of light years to Zhennan Province in one go. Even if the Sanhua Trading Group realized it at that time, the news would probably still be on the way.

59 trillion refined steel is the market price of Jinmen. According to the local bank, it is only worth about 58 trillion. After deducting the payment for goods, there is still 32.554 trillion stars. .

As soon as he got the blueprint, Li Qing immediately started the construction of the shipyard in Gaowei Fortress.

So many blueprints have to be produced, whether for personal use or for sale, they have to make a lot of money.

With so many blueprints, it can be said that it will be enough for a long time. Next, Li Qing directly left the Yunfu Galaxy, and flew to the United Empire of Humanity through the local star gate.

His destination is the Tianya Galaxy, the capital of the Tianya Province, one of the largest provinces in the southern part of the United Empire of Mankind. He heard that there are some auctions there every month, and he plans to go there to see if he can buy some weapons or Accessory mother chip.

Buying it all the time is not an option, it is better to produce it yourself, and get more weapon master chips to upgrade.

Learning from the previous lessons this time, he left when transiting the galaxy, put the entire fleet into the universe in his palm, and only drove one frigate back on the road.

Actually, the large southern province of the empire is not Tianya Province, but Nantian Province. The Nantian Ye family where Ye Xiao and his son are located is more prosperous.

But Li Qing has a grudge against Ye Shi, so it is not convenient for him to go to his home planet.

While they are less likely to engage in petty tricks, it is always inconvenient to be recognized.

Although Tianya Province is slightly worse, it is also the top economic center in the south of the empire, not much worse.

Besides, if there is really no place, you can change the place.

Anyway, there are stargates everywhere in the hinterland of the United Human Empire, and as long as you have money, you can quickly shuttle around.

It is worth mentioning that whenever Li Qing went to a place, he would visit the local market and buy all the blueprints of battleships that were not expensive locally.

Other battleships have mother chips, and the mother chips of destroyers have been upgraded to level 4, and they are only one step away from level 5. There is no need to buy them. Now there is only a shortage of battleships.

There are not many battleship blueprints in most places, at most two or three hundred, and at least a hundred or so. Many of them are expensive and not worth buying. I transferred seven stargates all the way back and forth, and bought a total of 785 battleship blueprints. Including accessories, a total of 5,495 billion stars was spent

One and a half months after going out, Li Qing finally came to Tianya Galaxy, the capital of Tianya Province.

Out of the star gate, one can see a huge mobile fortress slowly passing through the star gate, surrounded by a huge number of fleets, surrounded by hundreds of large and small flagships, like a god.

From the discussion of the players in the regional channel, we know that this kind of grand event happens only when the local garrison fleet changes defense.

Although it is only a conventional mobile fortress with a diameter of only more than 300 kilometers, its combat effectiveness is still very fierce. This fleet can basically sweep the Shata tribal alliance at this time.

Well, the premise is that the Shata United Empire does not have any hidden trump cards, such as some kind of state-defending artifact.

Generally, civilizations developed with luck will not be simple. Powerful relics are not exclusive to players. All intelligent life can actually be used, but there are not so many of them.

The entire Tianya galaxy has three star cities, two ordinary star cities, and one super star city.

The so-called Super Star City is an upgraded version of Star City. The armor shield is thicker, and it can be equipped with more Star City doomsday arcs. The combat effectiveness is extremely powerful.

The three star cities are in the shape of a character, less than 10,000 kilometers apart, and countless spaceships shuttle back and forth between them.

After Li Qing came out of Stargate, he found a local consulting company, spent 100,000 star dollars to inquire about the auction situation, and spent about 4 million to buy tickets for seven auctions.

These seven auctions are of different sizes, belong to different chambers of commerce or financial groups, and are held within a week.

There was an auction that day, he took out the ticket to look at the auction site, and flew straight to the auction site.

Compared to the crude black market auction in the outpost, the auction in the hinterland of the United Empire of Mankind is much more high-end. It is an ordinary auction held once a month. After downloading the auction items, Li Qing fell silent.

The first auction starts, a painting from a master artist 5,000 years ago. The starting price is 100 billion, and the price increase should not be less than 1 billion each time.

It’s hard to say the value of things, but auction a painting in the auction house

To be honest, Li Qing was not very used to it for a while.

Suddenly ran from a war zone to a peaceful country, and didn't react for a while.

Looking at other auction items, most of them have nothing to do with the war. He knows that this situation is normal in the hinterland of the United Empire of Mankind, especially in the southern provinces far away from the war.

The northern province is better. After all, it is close to the Bruwan United Civilization in the north, and the atmosphere of war is relatively strong.

The southern province hasn’t had a war for thousands of years, and its economy is prosperous, but it has nothing to do with war.

From the fact that few warships can be seen in the galaxy with such a huge flow of people, it can be seen that peace is the mainstream here.

In places far away from the Tianya galaxy, at most you will encounter some pirates or criminal groups, and the combat effectiveness is limited, so there is really no big war.

Li Qing looked back and forth among these lots, and there were really not many items he wanted. He was completely disappointed when he saw the last lot.

The fourth finale of the four finale: a piece of land of 7.8 square kilometers located on Tianyaxing, the capital of Tianya province, located in a prosperous metropolitan area of ??this living planet, including three skyscrapers with hundreds of floors, The annual rent is as high as 5 billion +.

The auction base price is 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Sitting speechlessly on his seat, he watched the auctioneer passionately introduce the lots and auction them one by one. At this time, Li Qing's mind was no longer in this auction house, but went to other places.

Not surprisingly, the odds of the items in the other auctions are similar, but the tickets are all bought, so if you don’t go, you won’t go for nothing.

But when it was over, he was going to leave here for the northern border of the United Empire of Mankind, which was close to the Bruvan Union. Two powerful civilizations with comparable strength fought in the star field at the junction of the two civilizations all year round. The atmosphere of war was very strong.

Thousands of years ago, the military focus of the United Empire of Mankind has been placed there, resulting in the average strength of the military leaders in the north being stronger than those in the south. At the same time, you can buy more military-related things there, such as flagship blueprints. They appear there from time to time.

As long as you have money, you can buy it.

This is not a foul, as long as you can get the money for the purchase in accordance with the rules, it is not a problem.

After that, it took him a week to attend all the auctions that bought tickets. As he expected, it was basically the kind of auction that had nothing to do with the military. Occasionally, there were a few related items, which were not very relevant. Some tasteless, and did not buy.

After the auction, he was not in the mood to listen to the consulting company saying that there would be a big auction every six months, so he left the Tianya galaxy on the same day, and jumped directly without going through the star gate.

However, after only jumping twice, after jumping nearly 3,000 light-years and crossing the range of several provinces in one breath, when I stopped by an active galaxy, I received a message from the military headquarters of the five provinces passing by in one breath. Ask about the newsletter.

The meaning of the communication is the same. He directly jumped across provinces without reporting in advance, which violated the regulations.

At first I didn't understand it, but later I realized that this is one of the many basic laws of the United Empire of Mankind. The main purpose is to prevent people from randomly scurrying between different provinces, thus causing some unnecessary misunderstandings.

It is important to know that although the United Empire of Mankind is a whole, the internal military lords are independent, and many military lords are hostile to each other, so it is not allowed to jump across provinces at will during non-all-out war.

This provision sounds troublesome, but it is necessary.

Fortunately, Li Qing was a first-time offender, and he was still in the ten-year development period, so he was fine after a verbal lesson.

So in the future, he can't jump so casually, he can only jump through the star gate honestly.

Although it is a bit slow, I just took time to buy battleship blueprints in the galaxy. I have to go through more than 20 provinces along the way. It is estimated that I can gather two to three thousand sets of battleship blueprints.

Hurrying all the way, it took more than half a month to finally arrive at the Shanhaiguan Fortress Galaxy, one of the three core fortress galaxies in the northern border of the empire.
