But precisely because it is the Zhongan area, there are too many people hanging around here, and the valuable rich mining areas are either occupied by big forces or mined out, so it is basically impossible to get rich here.
In addition, more than 500 surrounding galaxies are areas radiated by Danxia Fang's power, which is commonly known as low-security areas.
Low-security areas do not often send fleets to destroy monsters, so there are many wild monsters. A large number of pirates, criminal groups and even powerful rebels are active in this star field.
But correspondingly, this area is richer in resources. Some remote and dangerous places are occupied by NPC forces, and there are huge benefits that can be mined by powerful teams.
At the same time, this area is also an area where small and medium-sized teams and studios are active, and it is not far from the base of these teams.
Fang Chen's first stop was the Zhong'an area. He wanted to dig some mines there and make some money first. The most important thing was to get one or two T5-class frigates and then have some strength before he would consider going to the low-security area.
There is no way, he who could make a lot of money in the early stage does not have the ability to do it now.
Mining is the easiest way to make money in the early stage. As long as you are diligent and spend some time, you can always accumulate a certain amount of capital.
Fang Chen browsed around on Danxiaxing's trading channel and found a sub-channel dedicated to active mining and brick-moving players. It was full of small team studios or individuals who were mining and moving bricks.
The so-called moving bricks in previous games refers to the act of converting various harvests into game currency.
In the new universe, there are also many heroes who came from civilian backgrounds and had to do hard work and move bricks to accumulate funds in the early stage in order to accumulate starting funds.
The most common ones are mining and doing tasks.
If you have some strength, you can take on tasks and dig some simple graves.
If you are stronger, you can accept bounties, rob, smuggle, etc. Anyway, the stronger you are, the faster you can make money. Of course, you may also lose everything by accident.
Although the rules of the new universe are digitized and look like a game, they are not really games. Things like battleships are consumables. Once they are destroyed and sunk in battle, they are truly gone.
A frigate worth hundreds of millions was lost when it sank.
Unless you buy insurance in advance, you will receive a certain proportion of compensation according to your level in the insurance company. Generally, you will be compensated at least 10% and at most 30%.
In addition, if you can join a force, such as a studio, a medium-to-large team, or a legion, you can also receive losses that vary according to the strength of the force and your position in the force.
There is a big gap in the loss reporting amount. Those with little capital can only report 5%, rich teams can report about 10%-20%, and the loss reporting rate of some top teams or core senior leaders in the legion can be as high as 30% or even 40%.
Coupled with insurance, the maximum loss reported can reach 70%.
It is equivalent to if a ship is worth 100 million, and insurance and power report the damage, 70% of the cost can be recovered, which is already very good.
Fang Chen walked around this sub-channel and wrote down the contact information of several studios and businessmen that seemed to have good reputations. If you need anything or want to dock the team, you can contact them.
In the afternoon of the same day, the two small mining ships, 20 unmanned mining robots, and two sets of ore refining equipment purchased by Fang Chen were all delivered to the warehouse designated by him.
After receiving it, he entered the warehouse, opened the universe in his hand, and put all the equipment into it.
Then he went to the Danxia Star Civilian Ship Captain Academy and recruited two mining ship captains, a group of ore refining equipment operators, and a group of first-level robots specially used for mining work.
These first-level mining robots only have a few basic skills, all of which are suitable for mining work, including equipment operation and ore transportation.
After doing this, it cost him more than two million.
On the third day, Fang Chen received news from the shipyard that the frigate had been assembled.
He immediately came to the shipyard and saw that the frigate had risen from the shipyard and slowly floated forward.
Shipyard business manager Li Lu pointed at the slowly sliding frigate in front of him and said to Fang Chen:
"The warship has been tested. All weapons and accessories are in good condition. The default warship is the guard module. In order to save ammunition costs, the default weapons equipped are all laser cannons. If you want to install a kinetic electromagnetic gun, or change it to a missile core, It will cost money to reconfigure.”
"No problem, a laser cannon is a laser cannon."
Just like what he said, energy weapons save ammunition and more importantly, save space.
If you use an electromagnetic gun, you need to prepare a large number of metal warheads.
If a missile core is used, a large number of missiles that take up more space will be needed.
The frigate is not very big to begin with and cannot store much ammunition.
Using energy is simple. The energy contained in a compressed energy block is enough for the frigate's small weapons to fire hundreds of shots.
He watched the battleship leave the dock and slowly slide forward until it stopped on a flat ground in front of the dock. Then the bottom hatch opened and landed on the ground. Two teams of clone crews lined up along the slope and lined up on the bottom of the ship. Two rows later, several senior crew members and a captain followed.
At this time Li Lu smiled and said to him:
"Dear Commander, please come aboard!"
Fang Chen came to the bottom of the battleship. Two rows of clones gave him a military salute and shouted loudly:
"Welcome back to the ship, Commander!"
He also bowed and walked from the middle to the entrance to the belly of his battleship.
The five senior crew members and the captain standing at the door saluted him again, and the central captain said loudly:
"Frigate Captain Li Zhengjun reports to Your Majesty the Commander!"
Fang Chen returned the salute again and entered the battleship surrounded by them.
To be honest, this was Fang Chen's first time entering a battleship, and it was his own battleship.
The position you are entering now is in the middle of the battleship, which is also the central core position of the battleship. In the front is the command bridge of the battleship, in the back are the crew quarters, warehouses, etc., and on the left and right are the combat area and ammunition area.
Although it is a frigate, its specifications are not small and the internal space is quite large.
The entire body of the battleship is made of alloy and looks very strong.
Accompanied by the captain, Fang Chen walked around the warship, especially the warheads and gun positions of the warship, which were the key inspection areas.
When he came to the bridge, he also got the specific information about his frigate.
T3-class frigate (Swordfish class): used for patrolling, escorting, reconnaissance, warning, mine-laying, supporting landings and ensuring Marine Corps landing operations on planets.

The battleship is equipped with a total of 28 T3-class small laser cannons, 14 on each side.
It is equipped with a total of 6-door Defender III close-in defense system, 3 doors on each side.
A total of 5 T3-level small energy shields and 5 T3-level small titanium steel armors are equipped in the 10 S small general slots.
The T3-level small energy shield can increase the shield value by 1000 points, and the T3-level small titanium steel armor can increase the armor value by 1000 points.
The two are superimposed, adding a total of 5000 additional armor points and 5000 additional shield points.
