In the end, the main reason why Fang Chen decided to join the Ember Team as soon as possible was that he learned that trading in the territory of the Holy Judgment Legion without a team like him actually had to pay a tax of up to 20%.
If he switched to a small or medium-sized team like Embers, which had a good relationship with the Holy Judgment Legion, he would only have to pay 10% tax, which prompted him to decide to join the team.
Anyway, I decided to join a team, so I didn’t have to worry about it.
After contacting Zhou Shaohang and explaining his intention, Zhou Shaohang was at the Star Fortress at this time, and he was very happy to personally pick him up and take him to the team's office in the Holy Judgment Star Fortress.
The office itself was responsible for recruiting people here. Zhou Shaohang personally took him through the process, and he joined the Ember Guild in less than half an hour.
Yes, small teams like this are generally called guilds, and large forces call themselves legions.
Of course, this legion is not a real legion. The true leader of the legion is the Lord of the Star Navy. He is an existence recognized by the will of the universe. He has entered the palace, can be recognized in any civilization in the universe, and has a certain political status.
The Ember Guild is a medium-sized force. There is a star port in a galaxy southeast of Holy Judgment, which radiates to more than a dozen Zhongan star systems around it.
The guild has a total number of only five to six hundred people, with three fleets and twelve independent squadrons. Zhou Shaohang is the squadron leader of the seventh independent squadron and the captain of the first squadron.
The three fleets are controlled by the three giants of the guild. The president, who is also the chief military officer, controls the first fleet, the vice president and chief administrative officer controls the second fleet, and the vice president and chief industrial officer controls the third fleet.
In the new universe, regardless of guild or legion, the internal power structure is basically the same, the three giants system.
There is no distinction between the three giants in terms of status, they are:
The chief executive, who controls the internal administration and human resources of the team, is equivalent to the CEO.
The military commander who controls the team's military strength.
The industrial director who controls the team's economic and industrial power.
The strength of the Ember Guild is there. There are only five to six hundred official members in total. The three fleets are said to be fleets, but in fact their strength is just that. The combined strength of the entire guild may not be enough to fight an independent squadron of the Divine Judgment.
After Fang Chen joined the guild, Zhou Shaohang immediately redeemed his previous recruitment promise and gave him the position of squad leader.
He is the captain of the fifth team, but he is the only one in the team now. He wants to expand himself and recruit people from outside.
Fang Chen didn't complain about this, because it was a normal operation. Most new members of the team became the leader as soon as they came in. Unless they are related, they will be assigned to you, otherwise they will not be assigned to you. Most of them are Go outside and get people by yourself.
Fang Chen has not thought about recruiting people for the time being. He only wants to join the Ember team to find shelter and reduce taxes to facilitate his next actions.
At this stage, it is better to mix alone.
After joining the team, after waiting for two days, Zhou Shaohang took care of the matter and took Fang Chen away from the Holy Judgment. He jumped all the way to the southeast, spanning a distance of more than 600 light years, and arrived at the headquarters of the Ember Guild. A person they named As embers within the galaxy.
This is a very typical mining galaxy. There are two asteroid belts in the galaxy and a B-type blue star in the center.
I heard from Zhou Shaohang that the Ember Guild discovered a mineral deposit in this star system, and after it started to develop, it established a star port as its headquarters based on this star system.
The guild monopolizes this mineral deposit, and the steady income supports the guild's development and growth until now.
However, the development of the guild has now entered a bottleneck, because this mineral deposit can only support the development of the guild to this point. If you want to go further, you need more resources, but the high-quality resources in the nearby star field that are enough for the guild to go further have been occupied by other guild teams. .
If you want to expand, you must defeat nearby guilds and seize these resource areas.
This is the reason for the disputes among many teams in the pioneering star field. The territory and resources are limited. If you want to develop and grow, you must expand the territory. This can only be achieved by defeating other guilds by force.
The current Ember team is surrounded by five teams with similar strengths, three of which are in a state of hostility all year round, one is neutral, and one is in alliance.
And these five have different neighbors and different relationships, forming a fragile balance.
At this stage, there is no war in the guild. Guild members do not need to stay at the headquarters all the time. They can go out to explore or go to the Holy Judgment Galaxy to complete various tasks. They only need to report.
Although there are three rival guilds, they also have different enemies. Hostility does not mean fighting every day.
Fang Chen walked around the guild and stayed for a week to get familiar with the guild before returning to the Holy Judgment Galaxy.
He had to come back and pull out the mining ships in the universe in his hand, pretending that they were purchased from here, and then bring the guild back to find a suitable galaxy within his sphere of influence for mining.
As for the copy of the original plan, he planned to go in and try it after a while when he was more prepared.
Only frigates can enter the dungeon, with a maximum limit of ten. He only has eight frigates now. Two less frigates would be a huge disadvantage.
Returning to the guild headquarters, Fang Chen pulled five large mining ships and two small mining ships to a system only four hops away from the headquarters for mining.
This galaxy belongs to the mining galaxy of the 7th Independent Squadron, and also belongs to the 7th Independent Squadron garrison galaxy. Although Fang Chen is the polished commander, he is also a member of the 7th Independent Squadron and is qualified to mine here.
He doesn't have much time to stay here for mining, so he plans to directly entrust the mining ship to the mining department of the guild, which specializes in mining.
This is also one of the benefits of the team. All formal combatants have dedicated personnel to handle the logistics, and mining ships have dedicated personnel to help take care of them, freeing them up to do other things.
The mining fleet was sent over. When passing the outpost in the center of the galaxy, I saw a large fleet parked next to the outpost space station. There were 7 cruisers, 22 destroyers, 96 frigates, and 15 large and medium-sized ships. Industrial ship.
As soon as he handed over the mining ship, he received a communication from Zhou Shaohang:
"Brother, are you free now? I'll take you to do something exciting."
Fang Chenqi said:
"Now that I have some free time, what are some exciting things to do?"
"Aren't there three hostile guilds in our guild? I'm going to take some people there to harvest a wave. Do you want to go?"
Fang Chen understood immediately.
The so-called harvesting refers to destroying and robbing within the territory of hostile forces.
Teams usually rely on this method to defeat their opponents when there is no full-scale battle between them.
If you are very interested in this Fang Chen, please go to:
"Count me in."
Zhou Wenhan immediately raised his big finger:
"happy!"
Everyone else in the 7th Squadron in the channel also smiled.
Participating in team activities together is one of the fastest ways to integrate into a team.
