The world of mercenaries is a mixture of gray and black. There is no law here, only some ancient unspoken rules and money. The bounty list is also divided into several levels. Basically, those with less than 10 million are considered as junior lists, and are generally given to rookies and low-level mercenaries. Chu Jungui just certified his name and paid the registration fee. Other than that, he had not done anything else. Naturally, he could not receive the intermediate and advanced rankings.
The targets of bounties are very arbitrary, and it is very likely that you are on the list just because a rich person doesn't like you. The amount of the bounty will be set based on the difficulty of hunting the target, and will also affect the mercenaries who accept the mission. Chu Jungui's reward was all consistent from his appearance to basic information. It was obviously done by someone who knew him well. But the problem is that Chu Jungui now travels to both sides of the Dynasty and Federation, wandering in deep space every day, and his base camp is on Planet 4. Finding him in deep space is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but if we want to attack his base camp on the surface of Planet 4, then Just want to turn on hell mode.
It was so difficult to just find Chu Jungui, let alone actually capture him. Only after the mercenaries went through all the trouble to find Mr. Chu and returned did they truly realize the malice of life.
Chu Jungui has no time to worry about the bounty now. Xingliu has stopped at the designated location, and a light-year high-speed starship is already waiting there.
Chu Jungui flew into Light Year's own starship. As soon as he sat down, the starship seemed to have been kicked and flew into the galaxy at a terrifying acceleration. This instant of acceleration made Chu Jungui slightly dizzy. Chu Jungui judged that the instantaneous acceleration had exceeded 100G. This level of acceleration is not something ordinary people can withstand. Even elite pilots coupled with top-level flying armor will feel uncomfortable, unless they are pilots at the same level as Xino.
The starship vibrated violently, made terrifying noises, and became faster and faster. Chu Jungui felt something was wrong, so he left his seat and entered the cockpit despite the huge acceleration. The two pilots in the cockpit, Chu Jungui, were both impressed. They were the most outstanding pilots in the legion. They also seemed very uncomfortable at this moment, and they were just gritting their teeth and enduring.
"Slow down." Chu Jungui immediately ordered.
A pilot flipped the switch, and the starship's speed dropped sharply. However, it was already approaching sublight speed at this time. The starship turned on the warp engine, entered sublight flight, and quickly entered the galaxy.
Chu Jungui directly connected his consciousness to the main brain of the starship and understood what happened after a moment. This is a newly built starship, its main purpose is to transport a small number of people in and out of the galaxy. The starship was mainly designed by Li Xinyi, and then the wise men finally refined and finalized it. Herein lies the problem.
The starship itself is the size of an airship, but for high speed it is directly equipped with a destroyer engine. Due to the lack of power adjustment equipment, the wise man simply set the power to three gears: off, on and high. When the destroyer's engine is turned on, such a small spacecraft naturally looks like it was launched from a gun barrel.
A wise man has no concept of overload.
However, once this starship was built, it became a tool for ace pilots to compete with each other, and more than a dozen capable pilots rushed to fly it.
This was just a trivial matter, but Chu Jungui immediately thought of the problem of the Lightyear Starship. He purchased only the main and critical equipment, and saved some unnecessary equipment as much as possible. This formed the lightyear starship's simple and rough style, and the characteristic of taking the aesthetics of violence to the extreme. The idea of designing a starship for the experimental body is to use every ton of mass for attack and defense.
The experience of driving a lightyear starship is not even comparable to driving a tractor, it is simply like sitting on a blender. In the past, apart from personal use or selling to star thieves, this problem was not particularly prominent. After all, star thieves only wanted to live and did not dare to ask for comfort or anything like that. But now that there is a potential customer like the Louis family fleet, Chu Jungui has to think more about it.
When he thought of Keith's snow-white fat, Chu Jungui knew that he wouldn't be able to last three days in the light-year starship. The veteran soldiers of the Louis family were not much better.
The bill for the Louis family's starship fleet also reminded Chu Jungui of something he had ignored for a long time, which was the treatment of the Lightyear Warriors.
Chu Jungui began to recall the information he had seen.
The salary of ordinary sailors in the Louis family fleet is not high. The average annual salary is just over 100,000 yuan, which is not out of the ordinary for a dangerous industry. This amount of money can buy a 1 square meter house in the notoriously expensive Tabby 3 system. . But this is only a superficial phenomenon. The real situation is that the cost of various subsidies, food and housing alone exceeds the annual salary, and this does not include the paid holidays and office space provided to them.
All crew members of the family fleet, even those at the lowest level, live in single rooms with full facilities. If you don't like to eat in the canteen, the room also has its own kitchen and customized food machine, which can be used to show off your skills.
Each year, sailors can have one month of paid vacation, and officers can have two months. In addition, it is said to be a dangerous industry, but in fact, in the past 10 years, the entire fleet has only 9 casualties, which is less than double digits. Seven of the nine people died in accidents while on vacation, and the other two died of sudden illness. All in all, no one died on the battlefield.
It's not that the family fleet doesn't fight, they fight several times every year, but the gap between the two sides in the battle is huge. Lucien fights star thieves who don't even have light cruisers. Most of the trophies captured are converted into benefits and distributed, so the crew members can still earn hundreds of thousands in additional income every year.
In contrast, the red-bearded star thieves also have to pay a salary, but most of them have an annual salary of no more than 50,000. They are a truly high-risk profession, and they can be reimbursed half of it in one battle.
After reviewing the information, Chu Jungui felt that if the family fleet wanted to do well, the personnel authority must come over. However, with Xino's ability, even with the support of the little princess, it is unlikely that it would be possible. He must use it. means.
At the same time, the improvement of the treatment of the Lightyear Warriors must also be put on the agenda. Otherwise, now that the connection with the Federation and the Dynasty has been established, people's hearts will inevitably drift.
Among the people around Chu Jungui, Wilson and Roland, the former federal officers, worked conscientiously and never complained or asked for anything. The soldiers below were suppressed by a group of officers, and there was no sound. But this is a good thing and a bad thing. Silence does not mean there is no problem, it may also be waiting for the opportunity to explode. Although everyone in Guangnian was conquered by Chu Jungui, obedience is not forever. There used to be a survival crisis, but now survival is obviously no longer a problem.
After thinking about it, Chu Jungui felt that it was time to provide something to the people of the legion, but this would significantly weaken the strength of Light Years and also affect the appreciation potential of 1 Light Years.
Before making the final decision, Chu Jungui decided to go to the wise man first to see what he said. Both Wise Man and Kaitian have non-human minds, and they often have particularly strange ideas.
The high-speed starship stopped at the orbital station, and Chu Jungui transferred to a starship specially designed to shuttle through storm clouds and entered Planet No. 4.
When he arrived at the new base, what appeared in front of him was a base larger than Shadow of Doom and Base 2 combined!
Although the new base is still just a frame, the diameter of the foundation has been paved to an astonishing 2,000 meters! Just by looking at the foundation, you can understand how ambitious a wise man is.
In the corner of the new base, a brand new production center has been built. This is an all-round production center with all kinds of equipment. It is a miniature version of a small base. This production center is responsible for all the equipment needed for the construction of the production base. In short, it is specially used to expand production capacity. Accessories for various engineering vehicles, accessories for large-scale special equipment and even biochips will be continuously produced here to speed up the construction of the base.
In terms of energy, a newly built energy center has been built. It is already filled with power furnaces, but most of them are idle because they cannot digest so much energy. Even so, Chu Jungui saw that the base was charging 50 standard energy capsules at the same time.
These energy capsules will be collected and sent to outer orbit, then resold to the 4th Fleet or other forces, and then purchased or exchanged for empty energy capsules, and then refilled.
At this moment, the entire base is full of work beasts, but there are only a few humans. Chu Jungui was visiting the base when a strange working beast flew past him.
That's right, it's running. This working beast is stranger than ever. It has eight arms and legs, which are much longer than other working beasts. It looks more like an octopus than a starfish. It has four eyes, evenly distributed around the head, which allows it to work 360 degrees without blind spots, without turning around at all. The most peculiar thing is that it has a large round box on its head, which grows together with flesh and blood.
The wise man followed Chu Jungui and immediately introduced: "This is the 8th generation working beast, which has been comprehensively improved and upgraded. Its arms and legs are one and a half meters long on average, with an upright height of 2 meters. A single arm can lift a ton of Heavy objects. The most important improvement is the breakthrough in human-machine integration, which allows it to directly use the battery. The battery on its head is specially designed. When full, it can meet the energy needs of a week of high-intensity work. It can be replaced directly when it is out of power. According to calculations, the efficiency of the 8th generation work beasts is three times that of ordinary work beasts. Currently, the second batch of 8th generation work beasts has just been released in the base and has stabilized. The total number is 90. There are currently 5,000 work beasts in the entire base. It is planned to replace all of them with 8th generation work beasts, so that the overall efficiency is equivalent to 11,000 human engineers. After all, humans still have to eat and sleep, and occasionally have a little mood."
While listening to the wise man's report, Chu Jungui activated his armor, flew high into the sky, and looked around.
In the distance, two huge construction trucks are working hard to level a hill. The double-leaf forest further away is collapsing in patches. Hundreds of transport vehicles are going back and forth, transporting and loading and unloading on their own, all at once. Hundreds of tons of raw materials can be put into the workstation. There are already three large workstations around the base, responsible for initially refining raw materials and converting them into raw materials for the next step of refining.
In one corner of the base, nearly a thousand work beasts were climbing up and down to build a terrifying refining furnace. The height of this refining furnace has exceeded 100 meters, but there is still no sign of capping. Chu Jungui called up its data and found that the final height would actually reach 210 meters!
This giant refining furnace will be used to produce basic metals and building materials, and can refine 21,000 tons of raw materials at one time.
This is the first time that Chu Jungui has a refining furnace that can process 10,000 tons of raw materials at a time. The behemoth that is being rapidly built finally has the prototype of a large industry.
