Chapter 18: The Dungeon of the Battle of Jinmen (Part 1)
One day three months later, the third batch of five frigates of Li Qing was completed and launched into the sea at the Palm Cosmos and Gaodimensional Fortress Shipyard.
There is no blind expansion. Although a chief engineer can preside over the construction of up to ten frigates at the same time, Li Qing considered that he could not stay in the dock building ships like a professional shipbuilder. In the meantime, he would definitely have to do other things and leave Tianjin.
If you go to other places and expand blindly, you won't build many ships, but you still have to pay wages, which is not worth it.
Of course, the main reason is that there is not enough capital. If you have enough capital to stock the materials for hundreds or thousands of frigates in the Palm Space Shipyard, you can hang out outside for a few years before coming back and sell them in one go.
Unfortunately not.
There are a total of 15 frigates in three months. We build five and sell them every month. We then buy materials to build and sell them. So far, we have made a total of 58.5 million yuan.
Instead of continuing the construction, he went to Yushi Shipyard. The hurricane-class destroyer he ordered had been completed and left the factory.
After quickly completing a series of acceptance procedures, Li Qing saw the elite Hurricane-class destroyer moored in the dock, which was about fifty meters longer than the conventional Tornado-class destroyer.
Board the ship, enter your information into the battleship combat system, and determine control rights.
The length of the destroyer is more than twice that of the frigate, and the bridge area is larger than that of the frigate. The destroyer requires a total of 100 ordinary crew members, 5 senior crew members, and a captain. The monthly salary is 1 million, 500, and 1.25 million respectively.
The basic maintenance fee is 500,000, with a total monthly expenditure of 3.25 million.
Routine maintenance fees generally refer to the daily food, drink and various basic needs of the more than 100 crew members on the battleship.
With wages in place, a total of more than 160 crew members from another frigate were quickly arrived.
"Captain, you are ready to go!"
Li Qing, who was sitting on the main command chair, waved his hand. The captain nodded, reached out and connected dots on the light screen in front of him, and issued a series of orders.
The battleship shook slightly, and the scene outside the glass of the large floor-to-ceiling observation platform in front of the bridge began to move slowly. The huge dock base slowly disappeared from sight.
From the outside, among the countless warships parked in the huge space station of Yu's Shipyard, a warship slightly larger than an ordinary destroyer slowly left the space station and entered the starry sky.
When the warship sailed about a hundred kilometers away from the shipyard space station, the staff officer on the side reported to him:
"Your Excellency, Commander, there is communication access."
Li Qing stretched out his hand a little, and the light curtain popped up in front of his eyes. A bald man whose right eye was transformed into a mechanical eye appeared in front of him. He gave him a military salute and said in a deep voice:
"The captain of the No. 1 frigate reported to the commander and requested to join the team!"
"Accept the team!"
This is another frigate.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, a warship that looked no different from a common frigate came over. After exchanging a series of signals, the frigate slowly sailed to the edge of the destroyer to maintain escort status.
After carefully checking that the status of the two battleships was normal, Li Qing ordered the fleet to start the hyperspace engine at the same time and sail towards the north of the galaxy.
Two hours later, the battleship broke away from the sub-light speed state and appeared near a gas giant planet.
Through the glass in front of the bridge, you can see a huge vortex in the void ahead. A beam of light erupts from the vortex, and there are densely packed warships parked around it.
This vortex is the entrance to a subspace fragment. In layman's terms, it is a dungeon entrance.
There are two types of so-called dungeons. One refers to various subspace fragments, which are generally very dangerous. After the initial exploration, they will be transformed into subspace fragments that can be entered repeatedly, commonly known as dungeons.
The other is a copy formed by projecting certain special events for some special reasons.
The dungeons each player can enter per month are unlimited, but each dungeon can only be entered once per month.
In other words, you can only enter a single dungeon once a month, but you can enter different dungeons without restrictions.
Moreover, once you enter the dungeon and are damaged in battle, just like in reality, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed. Moreover, even if the wreckage cannot be salvaged to recover part of the original capital, the insurance company will not compensate for the loss.
The only good thing is that no matter how you die in the dungeon, it will only be counted as a normal death method, and you will only lose five years of life.
But even so, there are still many players who enter the dungeon once a month.
The reason for this is naturally the harvest within the copy.
In any instance, as long as you complete a series of tasks, you will receive points. As long as the points reach the minimum standard, you can choose to use these points to exchange for various blueprints and leave the instance safely.
It ranges from a first-generation electromagnetic gun construction blueprint to a complete set of battleship construction blueprints. As long as you have enough points, you can redeem them.
It can be said that the copy is where most of the blueprints in the entire new universe are produced.
Li Qing came here not to refresh a wave of blueprints, but just to test the combat effectiveness of two top-of-the-line warships.
I first applied to enter the dungeon, and soon a light screen popped up in front of my eyes, showing that I was ranked No. 214. It seemed like the queue was quite long, but in fact I didn’t have to wait long.
While waiting in line, he checked the information of this copy.
This dungeon is called [Battle of Jinmen], and it is a typical dungeon formed by the projection of special events. The historical background comes from the last decisive battle where the Yu family defeated the main force of the local alien civilization hundreds of years ago.
Entering the dungeon, you will come to the historical moment hundreds of years ago when the Yu family's expeditionary army defeated the alien civilization, captured the alien mother planet, and opened up the Jinmen Province.
Players will participate in this battle as a mercenary fleet, and your performance will determine how many points you get.
There are a total of four dungeons in Jinmen, three dungeons are related to the navy, and one dungeon is related to the army. The Battle of Jinmen is the largest dungeon among them, and it is also the dungeon with the highest theoretical income, because the highest reward in this dungeon is a Dreadnought.
Flagship construction blueprint.
The reason why it is said to be a theory is because Liao Liao Wuji, who has been able to obtain the blueprint for the construction of the fearless flagship for hundreds of years, only has seven players with a total score of over 100 on the dungeon score ranking list.
The Dauntless Flagship Blueprint, which ranks first on the dungeon reward redemption list, requires 100 points to redeem, which means that only a maximum of seven people can redeem it.
The battleships entered the dungeon very quickly. The two battleships kept moving forward towards the entrance of the dungeon, and it was his turn in less than half an hour.
As a powerful pulling force came, the two battleships plunged into the whirlpool, arousing a surging energy tide.
"This is a magnificent and epic battle!"
"Wealth and resources..."
"Blood and smoke..."
"To live and to destroy..."
"The battle for the survival of the race between the expeditionary force from the United Empire of Man and the Bonir Star Sea Empire begins here. As a mercenary of the expeditionary force, what wonderful performance will you have in this magnificent and epic battle?"
The twisted fonts on the smooth surface slowly slid down, the battleship shook slowly, and huge explosions were heard from time to time, but everything outside the bridge glass was blurry.
Not long after, all the fonts on the light screen in front of him slipped away, and the blur outside the bridge glass slowly became clear. As the battleship shook slightly, Li Qing suddenly found that two of his battleships appeared at the berth of a huge space station star port.
.
The shipboard radar quickly scanned and quickly cleared the surrounding area. The light curtain lit up in front of the eyes, and a huge fleet led by a super battleship that was more than ten kilometers long was slowly leaving the port.
"Hiss! Titan Super Flag!"
The huge hull and the iconic doomsday weapon muzzle made Li Qing so envious that he turned purple with envy.
"What a dream!"
All naval commanders dream of a Titan super flagship, but only Liao Liao can realize this dream.
What is the Titan super flagship? It is the most powerful battleship in the star sea, bar none.
A ship body that is more than ten kilometers or even longer, unimaginable armor and shields, a T-slot doomsday weapon that can directly blow apart a planet as big as the Earth with one shot, and various powerful super-flag force field auras, all these factors are superimposed
, a Titan super flag suddenly joins the battlefield, which can often turn the tide of the battle in an instant.
Li Qing watched the huge fleet leave the base with a pious mood. A layer of force field aura covered the entire fleet. As the space was violently distorted, the huge fleet jumped away together under the aura of the Titan Super Flag.
What is the Titan super flagship? This is the Titan super flagship.
The super-flag-level jump engine can penetrate most interception and interference fields, carrying a fleet of tens of thousands of main warships directly to the battlefield, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
It's a pity that he is not qualified to see the heroic appearance of this Titan super flag, and he has never seen it before.
No matter in Qinghe or Jinmen, there has never been a battle that would allow Titan's super flagship to be dispatched.
It wasn't until the fleet left for a long time and the space fluctuations caused by the jump of tens of thousands of fleets disappeared that Li Qing came back to his senses, gathered his mood, and checked the dungeon mission.
The dungeon mission is very simple. It's a battle, so of course it's a battle.
There are no fancy tasks, just three battlefields: one large and two small. Players choose a battlefield to join, and then gain points based on the number of enemies killed on the battlefield.
According to his strength evaluation, each enemy frigate sunk is worth 0.1 points, a destroyer is worth 0.5 points, a cruiser is worth 2 points, a battleship is worth 20 points, and a flagship is worth 500 points.
This point acquisition is based on the strength of different players. The weaker players will get more points, and the stronger players will get less points for sinking battleships.
If Li Qing has a battleship, then sinking a frigate may be worth 0.01 points, and sinking a battleship may be worth 5 points.
Li Qing did not think about it and directly chose the second battlefield among the three major battlefields, one of the two secondary battlefields.
He had checked the information when queuing before. The difficulty in this dungeon is dynamic. The situation in the rear battlefield is different every time you enter. In addition to the main battlefield, the battle conditions in the two small battlefields are changing every time and do not exist.
Which situation is better for scoring points?
Moreover, Li Qing never thought about how many points to brush up, let alone brush up the blueprint of a fearless flagship. He just came to test the power of the two ships.
Moreover, when he enters the battlefield later, he will not rush in directly. He will just wander around the edge of the battlefield. If the situation is not good, he will run away directly. After 24 hours, the copy will automatically end the teleportation and leave.
Are you kidding? He only had these two ships, a destroyer and a frigate. How could he destroy so many enemy ships on a chaotic battlefield of tens of thousands and then escape unscathed?
If any battleship's main gun is locked, a fully equipped frigate will be killed instantly. A fully equipped destroyer can only carry two guns. Why should we fight?
By psionic beings?
If he was a storm-level psyker, a wave of psychic storms might be able to destroy a damaged battleship if he found an opportunity, but the problem is that he is not.
The second battlefield is not in this galaxy, but in a galaxy within six hops north of Tianjin. The alien civilization has a super large mineral planet here, so it built a star fort here and stationed a fleet.
At this time, the battle had begun. After Li Qing received the mission, the two warships left the base and flew towards the wormhole at the edge of the galaxy.
The galaxy is full of expeditionary force and mercenary battleships sailing away from this galaxy, as well as the neighboring galaxies. In particular, outposts are built on every planet within the main waterway, and interference and interception devices are deployed to prevent the enemy.
The ship passed directly over the decapitation at sub-light speed.
It is worth mentioning that this copy projects the Battle of Jinmen, and its scope includes all galaxies within a hundred light-year range with Jinmen as the center.
Theoretically, you can leave the three major battlefields and go to other places, but if you do so, it will be equivalent to deserting, and all the points accumulated before will be cleared.
The advantage is that you can leave the instance alive.
When he approached the galaxy next to the battlefield, Li Qing stood up and said to the senior crew behind him:
"We are about to enter the battlefield. Please work together to fight against the powerful enemy! After the war, each reward will be an extra month's salary allowance."
Several senior crew members and captains of the destroyer, as well as the captain and senior crew members of the frigate in the communication channel, all nodded in agreement with serious faces. The crew members in the channel also looked happy after hearing this.
Li Qing nodded, his morale was ready.
Although both the crew and the captain are all blank slates, they still have to rely on their performance in the battle later.
It's not that he doesn't want to find a good captain, but that he can't find a captain with talented crew members.
Although Tianjin has a large-scale vocational academy area, a large number of various professions are available for recruitment every year, and there are definitely no green names or blue names. Occasionally, there will be crew members or captains with purple epic-level talents, but these outstanding ones have not yet appeared.
Right after I graduated from college, I was spotted by a headhunting company and signed a contract.
Not to mention the salary of these outstanding captains, which is much higher than that of ordinary captains, they must be recruited through these headhunting companies and at extra cost.
The most important thing is that many times it is impossible to recruit at all. Not only are the numbers small, but more importantly, these talented captains do not like you.
To put it bluntly, you can recruit casually in the low-end market, as long as the salary is adequate.
But an excellent captain chooses a commander. This is a two-way choice. If the other party thinks you have no future as a commander, they will ignore you.
So after Li Qing understood the situation in this area, he never thought about finding a good captain. He just randomly picked up a whiteboard crew captain and made do with it first. Anyway, most players are the same.
Don't take advantage.
An hour later, the two battleships plunged into the wormhole.
Chapter completed!
