Chapter 78

On the surface, the Grand Duke is still the master of the Principality of Diwu, but the resources and military and political power of the Principality are controlled by the warlords, and they just have a name and become a mascot.The Grand Duke can still make a sound, but it is no longer an order, it can only be called to jointly destroy the pirates of Greystar, and the warlords are indifferent.

The Anji family has retained the most basic face of the Grand Duke's Mansion, at least their own property has not been deprived, and the Guards and the Grand Duke's fleet have not been disbanded and incorporated.It just lost the support of the treasury, and the Grand Duke's fleet became a family army fleet supported by the income of the family industry. The funds were seriously insufficient, and the scale was getting smaller and smaller after continuous reduction.

Ling Kairong and Lu Youjin acted quickly, and contacted Ling Qi to say they were ready after only two hours.At this time Ling Qi was taking the two little girls shopping, and bought a lot of clothes and daily necessities.Just when he was about to go back, a foreigner with a unicorn on his head caught his attention on the street.

The one-horned alien was tall, at least two meters five in height, holding two fiery red stone balls the size of human heads in his hands, with a hesitant and confused expression.Many people in the crowd would glance at him, and it was the two big stone balls in his hand that attracted Ling Qi's attention. He walked over and said, "Big man, what kind of gems are you holding?"

The one-horned alien looked happy, and said in a somewhat blunt common language: "Do you know it is a gem? I said it was a gem, but no one else believed it. No one wanted to buy it. Are you going to buy it? Anu wants to change it." Credit goes home."

The one-horned alien was very scheming, and he let out his bottom line without reservation in a single sentence.

Ling Qi smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Show me first, if it is really what I need, I will buy it."

"Oh, hold it well, it's a bit heavy." The alien who called himself Anu handed one of the gems to Ling Qi.Ling Qi felt that his hand sank, and it was indeed several times heavier than it looked, which shows that the density of the gemstone is astonishing.

At this time, the captain's system prompts: "I found the blasting stone, which has mutated fire-attributed energy, which can be embedded in the car to increase the attack power of the energy weapon!"

Ling Qi was overjoyed, this is definitely a good thing, the gems that increase the attack power in the game have always been the highest price.He nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed what I need. How many credits do you plan to sell?"

"One million credits, is it okay?" Anu asked cautiously, afraid that the price would be too high and Ling Qi would turn his back on it.

Ling Qi didn't agree immediately, and asked him, "How did you get here? Do you have any more?"

The big man shook his head and stammered a story. Ling Qi combined the real-time searched network information to find out that he came from a resource star in the Principality of Diwu, where tantalum-niobium ore is mainly produced, which is used in various energy matrices. important source of material.

So that resource star is also called tantalum-niobium star. There are some indigenous alien races living on it. There is oxygen in the atmosphere, but there are also many gas components that are harmful to the human body, which have no effect on those alien races.Therefore, in the process of planet development, the Principality of Diwu educated these alien races, provided mining equipment, exchanged materials for their labor, and helped the Principality of Diwu to mine mineral deposits.

Countless years have passed, and the aliens there, like many other alien planets, have integrated into human society. Of course, they can only become the lowest level of civilians. Even the alien villages are still poor.

Anu is a mining worker who has received formal training and knows how to operate a lot of equipment. He is regarded as a "high-income" group in the local area. The two blasting stones were discovered by his tribe during the mining process. They thought they were gems and hoped that Sell ​​at a good price to further improve the living conditions of the tribe.But people who traveled to and from the resource star thought it was just an ordinary stone that contained some energy, and it was not even qualified to be used as spaceship fuel. It was worthless, and no one wanted to buy it.

Unwilling, Anu collected 30 credits and brought two gems to Capital Star to find a buyer.The results were the same. After finding a professional appraisal agency, they still came to the conclusion that they were just ordinary energy stones. Even if someone planned to buy them for decoration, they only offered one hundred thousand credits, which was not enough to make up for his ticket.

He has been wandering in Capital Star for several months, and he has spent all his credit points, but he still hasn't sold the stone.Now that the warlord war is starting, he wants to go back as soon as possible.Fortunately, it is the warlord on Capital Star who currently controls their planet, otherwise it might be difficult for him to go back.

Seeing that he was carrying a communicator, Ling Qi asked, "Are your planetary communicators widely used? Can you access the interstellar network?"

"Personal communicators are more popular in cities, and there are very few villages. To access the interstellar network, you need to apply at a specific place and spend a lot of credits." Anu looked at Ling eagerly with his antenna-like unicorn Seven, hope he buys gems.

Ling Qi glanced around and found many people stopped to watch them talking, so he said: "Let's talk in another place, you go back with me first."

The big man let out an oh, and followed behind them with two big gemstones in his arms.Seeing the speedboat, he had an envious expression on his face.

"What kind of transportation do you use in your hometown?" Ling Qi and Xiaorou sat in the captain's chair, and vacated a recliner for him.He was so tall that he had to be half lying down to accommodate him.

"We use big sampans to transport a lot of things!" After Anu finished speaking, his stomach suddenly growled, and he rubbed it embarrassingly.

Ao Ying has a natural liking for foreigners, especially this simple and straightforward guy. She could see that he might have been starving for a long time, so she told Ling Qi to wait first, and she jumped off the speedboat to buy a lot of meat and gave it to him. .

Ling Qi saw that he was gobbling up food and was really hungry, so he gave up communicating with him for the time being, and first drove the speedboat to the seaside.Approaching the beach, Anu finished his food and continued to thank Ao Ying.

Ling Qi and him added a communicator, and told him: "I bought your gems together with 1000 million credits, and if you find any more in the future, please let me know."

"Really?" The big man jumped up in surprise, and the horn almost punched a hole in the speedboat.

"Really!" Ling Qi affirmed, and immediately connected with his communicator to transfer the credits to him.Gemstones are of great use to him, he doesn't intend to bully honest people, and besides Xiao Rou, a foreigner, he also has a good impression of this big guy like Ao Ying, and plans to help him.

Thinking of Kitty Catwoman, he suddenly felt moved, and asked, "Anu, is there any cat people on your planet?"

Xiao Rou's ears instantly stood up, and her small face looked back at the big man nervously.

Anu said: "Yes, the cat people can see at night and have good eyesight, and they are also the main group that drives equipment to mine mineral deposits!"

Xiaorou looked at Ling Qi in surprise, she felt that the resource star was most likely her hometown.

Ling Qi hugged her in his arms and thought so in his heart. After all, she was brought to Minglan Star for sale back then. It could not have been brought from a more developed or farther planet. It is most likely that she came from this resource star.And with Ling Qi's little financial resources back then, he could have bought it, so that guy was probably caught by chance, and he didn't intend to sell it for a lot of money.

He pondered for a while, and told Anu that he would go to their planet after a while, if he was willing to wait, he could stay with them first, and then take the Tomahawk to go there.

Anu is overjoyed, of course he is willing to wait, the ticket cost of [-] credits is his income from hard work for two years, with this free spaceship ride, he is willing to wait no matter how long.

While talking, the beach arrived, and countless large and small interstellar spaceships were moored on the sea, which was very spectacular.Ling Qi contacted Ling Kairong and Lu Youjin, and met at the coordinate point provided by the other party.

They drove both speedboats, and invited another cargo airship to transport four three-stage propellers and two energy tanks, as well as some hull and interior materials.

"You guys are so fast!"

"There are a lot of damaged parts and second-hand parts, you can find them in any repair shop!" Lu Youjin laughed.

Ling Qi remembered that this place is not the Minglan Star, but the capital city of Diwu Capital Star, which is many times more developed. There should indeed be a lot of second-hand and broken parts. He even came up with the idea of ​​trading old for new.But thinking that the environment is different, it would be too risky to do it here, so he gave up as soon as he thought about it.

When we joined hands in the past, the captain's system prompted that the damage was between 30% and 50%.As long as it didn't exceed his scope of maintenance, he returned to the speedboat, beckoned the two to follow, and flew to the berth of the Tomahawk.

The Tomahawk's lower storehouse was 20 meters long, 15 meters wide and three meters high.After opening the hatch, the two drove the speedboat directly in and stopped according to Ling Qi's intention, and then came out to direct the cargo airship to use the mechanical arm to put down several parts and materials.A huge delivery skateboard slides out of the warehouse, catches the items and sends them into the warehouse, and is hoisted to the shelves under the operation of the intelligent system.

Ling Qi parked her speedboat on the rear deck, and asked Ao Ying to take Anu to arrange the room in the cabin, and take the pile of items they bought up there.

After they walked away, he put the two blasting stones into the shipboard space, and with a thought, he directly gave the inlay command.

"Embedded flame blasting stone, intermediate inlay skill, 100% success rate...Inlaid successfully, increase the attack power of all shipboard energy weapons by 10%!"

"Embedded flame blasting stone, intermediate inlay skill, 95% success rate...Inlaid successfully, increase the attack power of all shipboard energy weapons by 20%!"

On both sides of the ruby ​​at the stern, two fiery red gems appeared quietly.While Ling Qi was satisfied, he was also somewhat looking forward to it. Now the attack power of each destroyer cannon has reached [-] in three seconds. If he can find a few more blasting stones to double the attack power, even if he encounters a Tier [-] battleship, he can The power of a battle.

He entered the warehouse, saw Ling and Lu watching the intelligent handling in amazement, and said to them: "It will take two days to refit and renovate. You can drive my speedboat first in these two days. It's on the back deck. Give you permission."

The two were stunned and did not dare to communicate: "It can be done in two days? I thought you would need at least ten days! By the way, this is your workshop? Why don't you have tools and facilities?"

"I use robots, and the efficiency is not ordinary. The tools are naturally put away, so it must be messed up to be called a workshop!" Ling Qi rolled his eyes and asked them to hand over the authority of two speedboats.
