Fang Chen stayed on Tianshi Star for a few days, waiting for the new T5 frigate to be completed and incorporated into the fleet, and then found a ride with the trade fleet of a large chamber of commerce on Tianshi Star.
Further south, it is no longer within the reach of human civilization and is a completely unexplored area. The wild monsters here are not as weak as those in Danxia.
Compared with Danxia Fang's side, the wild monsters are basically T1 and T2 are rare. They are basically pirate gunboats, that is, frigates, and they are also in small groups of three or three.
The wild monsters here are at least T2 level, T3 level is very common, and T4 level can be seen occasionally.
Moreover, the minimum fleet size is more than ten ships, and it can range from twenty to thirty ships. Most of them include destroyers, and if the fleet is slightly larger, there will be cruisers.
Battleships that are extremely rare in Danxia are not many here, but there are quite a few. If you wander around, you may encounter them.
As the technology level increases, the level of danger increases.
Of course, with the jump penetration strength +5 given by Fang Chen's current golden talent, he can ignore all kinds of interference and interception in these undeveloped star fields and force the jump.
But this is his first time here. It's dark outside and he doesn't know anything. The landing point of the jump cannot be guaranteed.
The location of the forced jump is random. If you are unlucky and fall into a group of monsters deep in the galaxy, you may be GG on the spot.
In addition, Fang Chen also has the advantage of using the conventional method for the first time. He can find some safe areas along the road to place jump beacons. With the beacons, he can directly use these beacons as coordinates to jump to the signal next time. mark location.
Of course, this premise is that there are no stable temporary supply points on the road.
If there are players on the road who have established fixed temporary supply points and jump beacons, you can directly use other people's ones, which is safer.
After making all preparations, the four frigates left the Tiens Galaxy, crossed two galaxies and arrived at the Tiens Seventeenth Galaxy, which is the edge galaxy of the Tiens Star's sphere of influence. They passed through the galaxy to the other end of the galaxy and left the wormhole of this galaxy. Before, I saw an extremely large caravan parked there.
This is a large caravan consisting of more than two hundred large transport ships, all of which are carrying supplies.
The name of the caravan was the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce. When Fang Chen searched for the chamber of commerce in the No. 5 Development Zone, he searched for information about this chamber of commerce. This chamber of commerce was one of the subordinate chambers of commerce of a top consortium in the Tiangang Empire and was active in the No. 5 Development Zone.
Every year, a large caravan is organized to go to the No. 5 Development Zone to trade with local forces.
They have their own frigate fleet, which is quite large, with 4 battleships, 18 cruisers, 32 destroyers and 240 frigates.
Logically speaking, this fleet alone is enough to escort the caravan to its destination, but in addition to its own escort fleet, there are also a large number of individual or small team fleets, including 8 cruisers, 46 destroyers and 410 frigates.
Fang Chen's four frigates are one of these 410 frigates.
Of course, these scattered fleets were not recruited by them, but were temporarily anchored under the Chamber of Commerce and went on the road together to the No. 5 Development Zone.
With the large fleet at his back, even large groups of wild monsters can be easily defeated along the way, and he can safely pass through this dangerous star field.
The reason why the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is willing to accept these ordinary players and small teams is mainly to accumulate reputation among ordinary players.
The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce does not only have this business. It is affiliated to the Bauhinia Consortium, which is a top consortium covering many businesses. The business involved covers the Tiangang Empire and many developed areas.
There are many such consortiums and chambers of commerce, and competition is fierce.
Bringing a group of individuals and small teams to open up the star field is a piece of cake for the caravan, but it can accumulate more reputation at the same time, which is equivalent to constant advertising, so why not do it.
Thanks to their favor, if necessary, I will definitely give priority to the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
The large fleet waited here for two days. When everyone arrived, Fang Chen's battleship channel was pulled into a temporary fleet channel. At the same time, a projection of a middle-aged man with both eyes transformed into metal electronic eyes appeared in front of him and said in a deep voice. said:
"I am the security manager of this caravan. You are members of this caravan. The default rule is that your warships can follow our fleet, attack pirates along the way, and leave at any time."
"However, you must not interfere with the normal navigation of the caravan, and you must not attract surrounding wild monsters. Once we find any signs of this, we have the right to launch a direct attack, and will blacklist you depending on the seriousness of the situation, or in the Tiangang Empire and Open up the star area and launch a series of bounties."
After saying this, a contract popped up in front of Fang Chen. It contained exactly what the caravan security manager had just said. There was also a signature area marked in a red frame below.
Fang Chen shrugged and reached out to sign his name.
After the contract was signed, the security manager nodded and said:
"Well, I wish you a pleasant trip!"
After waiting for another two hours or so, the huge fleet began to move slowly.
Four cruisers, ten destroyers and fifty frigates walked in front. The four battleships were divided into two small fleets, one on the left and one on the right, with the remaining fleet behind.
As for the anchored warships, there is nothing special about it. Those with a team will go together, and those without a team will go alone, and most of them are about dozens of kilometers away from the caravan. Hundreds of warships are spread out, covering thousands of kilometers. range.
Fang Chen's four frigates followed alone more than 500 kilometers away from the caravan, in the inner circle of the fleet.
He was not prepared to take action this way, so he followed in a low-key manner.
The fleet passed through the wormhole one after another and gathered outside the wormhole. Then the caravan sent them a coordinate, allowing them to use sublight speed, that is, curvature navigation, to the wormhole exit at the other end of the galaxy.
When traveling long distances, and if you want to travel across galaxies without being able to jump, sublight speed is the fastest.
Super-light speed is a way of traveling through the ultra-distant void between galaxies.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the navigation and transportation methods in the universe.
Normal galaxies are independent of each other. Only a very small number of galaxies have natural wormholes through which they can travel to another distant galaxy.
But wormholes are fixed and can only go to the galaxy on the other side. It may be the galaxy next door, or it may be a galaxy hundreds of light-years away. Some wormholes even lead directly to tens of thousands of light-years away.
If you want to go to neighboring galaxies at this time, you need to use another method-the jump engine.
The well-known jump engine allows the warship to jump to another galaxy, but in fact the jump engine has another name, called the hyperspace engine, which can start the engine to enter the super-light speed state.
At this time, you can enter the super-light state at the edge of this galaxy, spend a very short time crossing the ultra-long distance of light years between galaxies and appear in another galaxy, and then establish a hyperspace channel connecting the two galaxies. .
