Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

very expensive, very expensive...

The reason why it is expensive is that what you buy is not just the technology blueprint, but also the technology contained in the blueprint.

Is 1.5 million trade coins much?

Many, many, many...

But Li Meng suddenly discovered that his 1.5 trade currency could not buy anything at all.

You can't even afford a cruiser technology blueprint.

buy what?
Looking at the densely packed products on the product page, Li Meng revealed a look of deep thought.

There are not enough trade coins, so we can only buy some needed things first.

Slave labor must be bought, and what is most lacking right now is labor.

The civilians of the empire can let it go for a while, there are still more than three years before the mission deadline, so there is no rush.

The frigate can buy one.

The lance array and efficient energy transfer system of the Firestorm-class frigate are very useful and the most valuable.

As for the fighters in the atmosphere and the star fighters, they are not needed yet.

Destroyers and escort ships have no hangars, and warships above the cruiser level have large-capacity hangars.

Well... Starfighter is available for purchase.

The ark is very large, and an area can be designated as a hangar to increase the self-protection ability of the ark.

You can buy it, but the money should not be enough...

Transaction taxes are a lot of money.

After calculating the value in his mind, Li Meng bought two kinds of goods.

[Purchase the technological blueprint of the Firestorm-class frigate: -1 million trade coins]

[Purchase 30000 imperial slave labor: -3000 million trade coins]

[Transaction tax: 1300 million, total: 1.43 million, paid, balance: 11812000]

[Please select the place where the product will be placed...]

Even the hull structure of the "Cobra" destroyer was scanned.

Looking at the hull structure diagram of the Alfred, Li Meng is a little bit in the area where the cargo hold is.

[Commodity delivery in progress, has been delivered]

In the harbor, a miraculous scene appeared again.

A series of blue light curtains transmitted from the metal wall, sweeping across the hull.

In the cargo hold of the Alfred, the blue light curtain penetrated the hull and shone into the cargo ship.

Where the light curtain passed, blue light surged, forming a metal box half a meter high and one meter long.

This is not the end.

As the dense blue light emerged, one after another slave laborers appeared in the cargo ship.

They were almost naked, with collars around their necks and only a pair of shorts.

As soon as they appeared, they looked around, and a trace of confusion flashed in their eyes.

The cargo hold did not become noisy because of their appearance, it was still quiet.

"King, the goods have appeared in the cargo hold, and the number of slave workers is being counted..."

In the communicator, Li Meng heard Ralph's report.

Less is definitely not less...

[The transaction is over, please leave the harbor within half an hour, an additional fee will be charged for the delay, 1 million trade coins per hour]

100 million trade coins per hour?

His face froze, Li Meng quickly closed the trading page.

Then he turned around and walked along the light bridge to the Alfred.

When Li Meng returned to the Alfred, the light bridge and tractor beam outside suddenly disappeared.

"Ralph, let's go, leave the harbor..."

Walking quickly in the long metal corridor, Li Meng gave Ralph the order to leave the port.

In the harbor outside, the Alfred's booster engine started, emitting a long white plume.

Under the powerful thrust, the Alfred retreated slowly, gradually retreating from the harbor.

"Eland, they came out..."

Outside, three men on the bridge of the three Steadfast-class frigates kept their eyes on the harbour.

They saw the Alfred slowly retreating from the harbor.

"Ayland, let's launch the probe. At this time, the opponent should not have opened the shield."

"I think it's better to be cautious. The opponent is a battleship, not an engineering ship. Once discovered, it will be troublesome."

"What are you afraid of? We have three frigates, and he has only one, and the distance is very close. The advantage is on our side."

"Don't act recklessly. Although we have three firm-class frigates, their total mass and size are comparable to each other's. The outcome is unpredictable. Also, our mission is not to fight. Don't influence the council's decision-making on the spur of the moment."

At this time, the Alfred had withdrawn from the harbor and was slowly turning.

"Is there any news from the parliament? How long are we going to stay here?"

"There is a seven-day delay in the transmission of the signal. The parliament should have received the information we sent, and it should be soon."

At this time, on the Alfred, Li Meng returned to his residence.

"Wang, what was that blue light curtain just now?"

As soon as she entered the gate, Sandra greeted her.

Li Meng even smelled a strong scent coming towards him, which shocked him.

After looking into the hall, Li Meng walked up to the upper floor.

Sandra followed behind Li Meng.

While walking, Li Meng answered Sandra's previous questions.

"Scanning rays, a technology that provides services for light transmission, don't worry, it is harmless to the human body."

"My lord, are we going back?"

Outside the glass wall of the hall before, Sandra saw the huge metal space outside.

She knew that the Alfred was docked in a huge metal building.

Who built such a huge cube?

She was puzzled and curious...

But Sandra knew that as a maid, as a butler, there were some things she shouldn't ask too much.

"Well, returning to the voyage..."

In addition to completing the transaction, this trip to the trading mall has other gains.

Although the Milky Way is large, the S sector is very lively.

Li Meng has also seen the characteristics of others.

A better understanding of the importance of personal characteristics.

Some features serve the team, while others serve the individual.

Although there are various types of characteristics, there will never be useless characteristics.

In a group, personal characteristics cooperate with each other and will play a role beyond imagination.

And his "hundred times reward" feature seems a bit helpless.

Transactions with the trade mall are not within the scope of the "[-] times reward" effect.

You can only get a hundred times the reward for completing the task.

The only advantage is probably the basis of surpassing others by a hundred times.

Because of the "hundred times reward" feature, he has a huge colonial ship as soon as he appears.

And the identity of the living saint may also be closely related to the "hundred times reward".

Otherwise, he would not be so lucky, and the goddess of fate would not favor him.

At this time, in the starry sky outside, the Alfred was already far away from the stars.

The space in front of the Alfred's bow suddenly distorted, and a huge red vortex quickly emerged.

The Alfred, which was accelerating continuously, crashed into it and disappeared without a trace.

Disappearing with it is the red swirl.
