Chapter 1012 Purchase of Ships for Exploration

After all, their class is often fixed from birth. If they want to change their class, they have to encounter a certain opportunity, seize this opportunity, and finally change their fate.

It sounds a bit magical, but this is the current situation of their civilization.

"I believe you all know that for us, this is an opportunity to change our fate. From the moment we were born, our fate has often been determined, and there are not enough resources for us to do what we want to do."

"We belong to the group of people living at the bottom of this civilization."

"If there is no suitable opportunity, we may have to wait until we die of old age."

"But now that such an opportunity has been seized by us, we must control our own destiny no matter what."

At this time, the captain said this to many team members. In fact, everyone is very clear about the current situation.

Opportunities like theirs are very rare.

"Don't worry, Captain. We understand what you said. After all, we have seen too many of these things over the years."

"Although we don't know what will happen in the future, we will earn as much as we can now. It would be best if we have the conditions to change our class. If we can't change it, it doesn't matter. At least we have tried for it."

Hearing what his teammates said, the captain nodded with satisfaction. In fact, they have been together for so long, so they naturally know the situation of their teammates. But sometimes they still have to explain the situation to everyone clearly, so that there will not be so many complaints when they carry out various operations later.

For them, their current behavior and operation is a kind of gambling. Let's put it this way. Put all the resources into it. If it succeeds, everyone is happy. If it fails, then there is really nothing. And the most important thing is that from the time they made their fortune to now, except for the monthly fixed expenses and living expenses, which are unavoidable. Except for the money given to the family, the rest of the funds are all invested.

It can even be said that when the economy is tight in the later period, all these funds may have to be invested, and the family can only live with the remaining funds. In short, they now have the ability to change the situation of their entire family, but the decision they made is that investing all the money is risky. It is impossible to say that there is no risk at all.

It can even be said that the risk is still very high, but in order to change their own destiny, they can only choose this way. For their behavior, their family members are not stupid, and they can naturally understand it. They also know that if they don’t invest all the money, then they may always be in this class. The next generation. If you are lucky enough to encounter an opportunity, then there may be a chance to change your destiny, but most of the time there may not be such an opportunity.

"Captain, don't worry. We have also communicated with our family members about the general situation. They also think that this is an opportunity for us. If we can seize this opportunity, then naturally, our destiny will change fundamentally in the future, so they are willing to take risks."

Hearing this, the captain nodded with satisfaction. Every year in civilization, there are many people who think similarly to them, and there are also many people who do the same thing as them.

Although the fate of most people is not particularly good, and the probability is that they will lose everything and then be beaten back to their original state, there are also some people who have emerged and finally changed their fate.

Although everyone knows that doing this is very risky, what does it matter to them?

Sometimes if you don’t fight, you will never know whether you can really change from now on.

After this communication, everyone has more certainty about their future plans.

In the following days, they naturally put all their resources into it without hesitation, and soon their third and fourth ships were ready.

And the fifth ship has naturally been booked.

In short, the early preparations have been done, and the next step for them is the most difficult later stage.

At this time, in a huge space station, these space stations are built by some merchants or some special organizations of civilization. Most of the areas where these space stations are built are resource-rich areas, or some important transportation fortresses. The reason for choosing these areas is naturally because the space arranged is considered to come to support as soon as possible when encountering danger, so he must arrange various transmission equipment here.

If these transmission equipment are arranged, then some good areas where tolls can be collected will naturally become the first choice.

Once these areas are occupied, there are very few things you need to consider. First, mine the resources here, and then slowly collect tolls.

It is no exaggeration to say that a good transportation fortress does not need to consider the resource reserves there. Just relying on tolls can make a lot of money. Of course, if these areas are not related, you can forget about it. At this time, the captain looked at this luxuriously decorated space station and couldn't help but envy it.

"I don't know when we can have such a space station." At this time, a teammate sighed, and when he heard what this teammate said, the captain couldn't help shaking his head.

"What are you thinking about? With our resources, these areas will never be our turn in this life. Don't think about it now. For us now, we can make a small amount of money. Then I invest these funds to buy a flagship, and I am satisfied.”

At this time, hearing what the captain said, the teammates all nodded in agreement.

"As long as we have a flagship, it means that we have the authority to purchase flagship-level industrial ships. Then we can buy real mining giants."

"Once we have flagship-level collection ships and combat ships, we will really take off in the future."

At this time, everyone was talking about the future. But at this moment, a person came towards them and interrupted their discussion. When they saw the person coming, everyone stopped talking. Gradually it became serious.

This person was the warship sales businessman they contacted.

He has a complete formation in his hands, which is the most critical thing to purchase warships. Although the threshold is not high now, there is still a threshold.

And these things are all hot-selling items, especially some of the better warships.

Of course, this does not refer to the kind of advanced technology, even for basic model warships. There are still big differences between basic model warships. Some are empty ships and some are fully equipped. Compared with directly purchasing empty ships and fully equipped, it is natural. It is the best, because the various configurations of the ship also cost a lot of money.

A complete fleet includes various warships.

And the equipment of these battleships is naturally configured to complement each other and cooperate with each other to enhance personal combat effectiveness.

After seeing the businessman coming, the captain started relevant negotiations on behalf of everyone.

"Your fleet has a total of two strategic-level warships, and a strategic cruiser serves as the auxiliary command ship in the team. In addition, there are 20 cruisers, 40 frigates, 20 combat destroyers, and ten reconnaissance ships. ”

"These ships are all level one technology."

Hearing what the captain said, the businessman selling the fleet nodded.

"That's probably it. Our warships use first-level technology equipment, and all warships also use first-level technology."

"The warship's various equipment has a service life limit of seven years, which can be considered relatively new."

"The current price we can offer here has been discussed with you before. The price of a battleship-level battleship is 500 million."

"Three million strategic cruisers, 30 million cruisers, 10 million destroyers, 3 million frigates, and 3 million reconnaissance ships."

Upon hearing the merchant's quotation, the captain couldn't help but frown slightly. "Your price is a little too high."

"How is this possible?"

"Our price is already very affordable, and the equipment list of each ship has been sent to you. You can go to the market to see the price of these equipment. If you buy them all in one set, they will definitely not be cheap."

"But these assemblies of yours have been used for a long time. I saw that many of them have a damage rate of more than 30%. According to this damage rate, the price is somewhat high. "

"This equipment can be used for at least another 10 years. If you participate in the battle, then there is nothing to say about it. All in all, at our price, it is absolutely unbeatable, even if you go to the second-hand market to buy it, it will definitely It can’t be cheaper than the unit price of the equipment we offer.”

In this way, everyone began to go through rounds of verbal battles. The amount of the transaction this time was too huge. It could not be said that it could be completed in a few days. Including the captain and team members, they spent every day After the negotiation was over, they began to discuss how to lower the price, what other details needed to be taken into consideration, and what issues could be used to further push the price down. After all, they definitely did not have enough funds.

They used all the ore ships as mortgages and borrowed a sum to barely make up the money. So for them, this is all their property. They cannot make any mistakes. If there is a problem, I am afraid they will really All money was lost.

Not only that, they will also owe an astronomical sum that they may never be able to repay in their lifetime, which they cannot accept.

The entire negotiation process took nearly half a month for such a huge amount. No matter how cautious the deal was, after everything was settled, the other party quickly completed the handover procedures.

Although the procedures were more cumbersome, it was still in the interstellar era after all, and the entire handover process was relatively fast. At this time, after everything had been handed over, everyone present came to the port where their ships were parked. When they saw their After this formation, I couldn't help but feel extremely excited.

"Such a huge fleet has unexpectedly become our private property."

At this time, the captain was also filled with pride.

Anyone who sees such a fleet will feel excited.

And the formation here will also be their starting point.

In the future, they will rely on such a team to support themselves.

When they develop in the future, they will have an even larger force.

"Okay, brothers, it's time to recruit personnel according to the plan. Anyone you know can be contacted first."

"But the ugly thing is ahead. If some useless people are brought here who don't obey orders, don't blame me for being unkind."

After hearing what the captain said, everyone present nodded.

When something good happens, you naturally want to take care of your family first. After all, letting your family make money with you can be regarded as keeping the money from going to outsiders.

Of course, they also have identities. They know the situation of the people in their family very well, and they also know what positions they can hold. For some more important positions, they still choose to recruit people outside.

Of course, it is easier to recruit people. After all, the force value of a formation like theirs is definitely up to standard. Although they are currently at war with Civilization No. 1, sometimes teams from two civilizations will encounter each other.

After these years of development, the level of technological civilization is not low now. At least they can fight against a regular formation like the No. 1 Civilization, with a normal battle loss of 5:1.

In recent years, the two civilizations have fought against each other, and the main direction they have taken is towards the high-end. As for some mid-to-low-end areas, Civilization No. 7 has not focused on research, because these ships do not play a significant role on the battlefield. It's not big. It's also for this reason that the bugs' technology has achieved a lead on the low-end route.

In the past, 40:1 would have been very normal.

It is now possible to achieve 5:1, and if a better ship is used, it can even reach 2:1.

Of course, it is because of such strength that some people dare to go out to explore. Otherwise, if they encounter the team of Civilization No. 1, they will be left in the cold, and no one will dare to go out and take risks.

And as their formation began to recruit people, people soon came to sign up one after another.

There are people applying for different positions, and of course they have carefully selected a group of pretty good people.

This group of people will also go through multiple screenings, and finally all available talents will be left, and then they will continue to recruit people and continue to screen. In this way, what will eventually be left are elite people who are very useful to them.

After all, they offer high salaries to recruit capable people.

Soon a team of several thousand people was recruited. These people will have a lot of expenses every month. Not only that, but that's not all. There are also ship maintenance costs and various taxes. fee.

The funds consumed every day were like running water, so after recruiting enough people, the captain immediately set off with everyone. They had already explored an area before they applied to purchase a combat formation.
