The battleship slowly left the shipyard and entered space.
Fang Chen was sitting in the command seat in the center of the bridge. To his left was the captain, and further to the left of the captain was the deputy captain.
There are a few empty seats on the right, which are the positions of the commander's staff. However, he is only a frigate now and does not have any staff, so it is temporarily vacant.
There was a huge light curtain in front of him, with several pieces cut out of it, allowing him to control and understand different aspects at the same time.
The warship left the shipyard and parked near the space station. After waiting for a while, two mining ships slowly came over, and two mining ship captains appeared on the light screen in front of him:
"Your Excellency Commander, the No. 1 mining ship is already in position!"
"Your Excellency Commander, the No. 2 mining ship is already in position!"
Fang Chen nodded and said:
"Follow the battleship and activate follow mode."
After confirming that the mining ship had followed, he looked at Li Zhengjun, the captain of the frigate on the left, and nodded:
"Get ready to go!"
Li Zhengjun nodded and said in a deep voice:
"The fleet is ready to start, speed up towards 5 o'clock!"
The frigate restarted and headed in one direction of the galaxy.
At this time, Fang Chen stretched out his hand and touched the light screen in front of him. The captains of a battleship and two mining ships appeared on the light screen in front of him. He ordered in a deep voice:
"The jump engines of Mining Ship No. 1 and No. 2 are ready to warm up and will start charging in five minutes. The scheduled coordinates are in the DX-D-55 galaxy!"
"The jump engine of the No. 1 battleship is ready to warm up and will start charging in fifteen minutes. The scheduled coordinates are in the DX-D-55 galaxy!"
"receive!"
"receive!"
"receive!"
Time passed, and the prompts that the jump engines of two mining ships began to recharge appeared on the screen in front of Fang Chen's eyes.
The reason why the jump is not started together is because the mining ship uses a civilian jump engine, and the charging speed is not as fast as the military jump engine. If you want to jump simultaneously, you need to prepare in advance.
About twenty minutes later, the battleship that had accelerated to a certain level suddenly shook slightly, and Fang Chen saw everything in front of him turn into a stream of light.
In the jump state, the spacecraft seems to be at rest, but the crew inside can't do anything.
I don't know how long it took, but as the spacecraft shook slightly, the light in front of my eyes suddenly disappeared, and the spacecraft appeared in another starry sky.
The radar sensor also immediately scanned the surrounding situation in front of him. There was a row of data in the upper corner of the light screen, all of which were the scanned things.
A space station, with forty or fifty ships of various sizes, including battleships, mining ships, and transport ships.
"That's right!"
Fang Chen's scheduled coordinates were exactly the space station in the center of the DX-D-55 galaxy, a starport-level space station.
There are four levels of space stations, from low to high: outpost, star port, star fortress, and star fortress.
The outpost is the smallest and has few facilities inside. It can't even park a few spaceships. Generally speaking, it is only used to declare sovereignty.
If any force wants to claim sovereignty over this galaxy, it will build an outpost-level space station in the orbit of the central star of the galaxy, which means that this galaxy belongs to me.
Anyone who dares to attack this outpost represents a declaration of war against this force.
The star port is an upgraded version of the outpost. It is not only larger in size, but also has strong combat effectiveness.
Generally speaking, there will only be star ports in some important intersection star systems, or star systems rich in mineral resources, and there will be garrisons to provide supplies, warehouses, repairs, ore refining or acquisition services to nearby players.
Further up is the Star Fortress, also called the Star Fortress. Its standard specifications are 20 kilometers * 20 kilometers in length and width, and 15 kilometers in height. Taken together, it is larger than a city.
Star fortresses are generally only built in very important locations and are the main extension of power for any force.
Generally, there will be a large number of troops stationed in a star fort, which contains all the facilities of the space station, including banks, insurance and markets. It is also a gathering place for many players.
Above the Star Castle is the Star Fortress.
This kind is very rare. It is mainly difficult to build. Not only is the complete set of blueprints rare, but the cost is also exaggerated.
Let’s put it this way, a standard interstellar fortress has a length and width of 250 kilometers and a height of more than 150 kilometers. How many resources does it take to build such a huge size?
Such a huge interstellar fortress can only be built by extremely powerful forces.
The entire Danxia Fang Sect rules such a huge territory and has accumulated over thousands of years to build an interstellar fortress. There is no second interstellar fortress-level space station in the star area where the surrounding forces extend, and there are only a few star fort-level space stations radiating to the surrounding areas.
The geographical location of the DX-D-55 galaxy is not superior. The reason why a star port is built here is mainly because there are three asteroid belts in this galaxy, making it a very good mining galaxy.
The first asteroid belt is located in an area only more than 70 million kilometers away from the star. Because of its close distance, it is also called the inner ring belt.
The second asteroid belt is located in the center of the star system.
The third asteroid belt is located at the very edge of the star system, almost approaching the edge of the gravity well.
It is extremely rare for a galaxy to have three asteroid belts, and it is unique among the thousands of galaxies near Danxia.
The three rings composed of a large number of asteroids and meteorites contain a large amount of ore, attracting a large number of bricklayers and studios to mine. At its peak a few hundred years ago, a galaxy gathered hundreds of thousands of mining ships. Even the Danxia Fang clan established more than a dozen huge mining bases here.
With such crazy collection, no matter how many resources there are, they will be exhausted.
After the high-value ore was mined, many mining fleets left, and more than a dozen mining bases were dismantled.
Thanks to the new universe rules, these mines are constantly refreshed like wild monsters in the starry sky. Although there are not as many accumulated after the refresh, it is still an excellent mining galaxy.
Fang Chen anchored the ship near the star port, sent an identification signal to the tower, and registered it in the register.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you log in or not. After all, this is the Zhong'an area. Few pirate players dare to come here to rob. The main reason is to have peace of mind and save some taxes.
Mining in the Zhong'an area controlled by the Danxia Fang clan requires paying taxes.
The normal tax is 15%, which means 15% of the total value of the ore collected. If the Danxia Fang clan goes to war with other warlord forces, the tax will be temporarily increased during the war.
But Fang Chen is a member of the Fang clan. Even if he doesn't sign a contract, he still belongs to the same clan. He has a huge discount. He only needs to pay 5% tax, which saves most of it.
If you are a member of the contracting clan, you don’t need to pay a dime of tax.
After the registration was completed, he led the fleet to leave the star port and flew towards the second ring in the center of the galaxy.
The first ring is too close to the star and too hot.
The third ring is too far away from the star and too cold, so only the middle ring is the best.
I didn't see any spaceships along the way, not even the shadow of the wild monster spaceship.
Important galaxies with star ports like this usually have a small fleet stationed there. Their daily mission is to clear out the fleet of wild monsters that spawn in the galaxy to ensure the safety of mining players.
Otherwise, why should we charge a tax? Just because they provide a safe mining environment for ordinary brick-and-mortar players, it is worth collecting this tax.
