The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

"He is back."

In a dark room, a figure sat in a corner and spoke in a low voice.

After a while, another figure facing him said:

"I know."

"Faster than expected."

"so what."

After a little silence, another voice continued:

"The latest news, he bought a standard division-sized fleet from Shanhaiguan!"

"What? Is the news true?"

"If you send someone to the military base on the edge of Jialan to take a look, you will know that it is indeed a standard division-sized fleet, and it is full of standards. Two Titan super flags, two super aircraft carriers, and twenty-five flagships .”

The shadowy room fell into silence, followed by rustling sounds.

"Snapped!"

A ball of flame lit up and approached a delicate cigarette, and the flame also illuminated his face. If Li Qing were here, he would definitely recognize Gu Shenzhou and Feng Lixiu.

After taking a deep puff of cigarette, Gu Shenzhou said in a deep voice:

"The situation has changed, his strength has increased significantly, our risks will also increase, and we need more support."

"Don't worry, their financial resources are stronger than we imagined, and support is not a problem."

Speaking of this, Feng Lixiu was silent for a while, and asked the swallowing Gu Shenzhou:

"Are you really going to fight him to the end?"

Gu Shenzhou raised his head and glanced at him, then said with a smile:

"Someone supports resources for free, why should I say no?"

After a pause, he said:

"I will fulfill the agreement, but if he is too strong to beat, then there is no way."

"Then what if it's possible to succeed?"

Gu Shenzhou asked back:

"Isn't that good?"

"You're such a bastard."

Gu Shenzhou paused for a while before saying quietly:

"In this world, how can you achieve anything without being a bastard. As long as you are bad enough, you can get what you want."

"Besides, we can't help ourselves!"

After two sighs for a long time, the room fell into silence.

The Lord's Mansion, Li Qing returned to the Lord's Office where he hadn't been in for a few years after making a tour. Usually, Yu Yuefei took charge of the territory work on his behalf. When he came here, he saw a lot of unfamiliar administrative officials, some of whom were Qinghe Some of the members of the Li family belonged to the Jinmen Yu family, and a small part were recruited from ordinary players.

It is impossible to use only one faction in a territory, it must be checked and balanced by several factions. If one family dominates, there will be chaos in the future.

It's okay to have a powerful and prestige lord, but if the lord is not there, or the lord is the shopkeeper, and the prestige of the successor is not enough, there will be troubles.

Of course, these things didn't have a big impact on Li Qing. In the future, he will definitely turn all the main management officials of the territory into servants of light, which can directly eliminate most of the problems.

Sitting in the huge office, Li Qing lightly knocked the bell on the side of the luxurious desk. After a while, Yu Wanyue, who was wearing a hip-wrapped skirt and showing off her pretty figure, walked in. She is the senior governor in the territory. Assistant, personnel director of the territory, director of the governor's office, equivalent to Yu Yuefei's assistant.

Having held power for many years, she also has a resolute temperament.

Li Qing didn't say much, mainly because he was afraid that she and his wife would misunderstand. After listening to the work report, he praised and affirmed her work during this period, then stretched out his hand and turned his palm to reveal a bright light, and said:

"This thing can make you reborn, and you will be forced to be promoted to a golden talent just like the two brothers Li Lie and Li Qi, but the consequence is that you will be loyal to me forever, are you willing?"

Yu Wanyue immediately showed a trace of joy, and said without hesitation:

"I do!"

"very good!"

Judging by the speed of her response, Li Qing was very satisfied.

Among the many core members of the territory, she is the only one who has not yet become a servant of light.

Although she was born in the Yu family and held a high position in the territory, it is impossible for the Baji consortium to give higher conditions, but some things are uncertain. No one is perfect, and there are always weaknesses. In the Xinghai Age, there are many means to instigate a person.

Therefore, Li Qing still considered giving her a spot as a Servant of Light, not only to ensure her loyalty, but also to improve her ability for better management.

In this way, the two sisters Yu Yuefei and Ding Youran were still ordinary humans in the territory.

Li Qing had already thought about it. After defeating the joint civilization of the Shata tribe, he would squeeze all the points of civilization from all the captives. At that time, he could squeeze out two or three thousand points, and then exchange them for two static streamers to turn them into negative stars. .

The reason why it is not now is, of course, that civilization points are not enough.

Now he needs to condense the battleship mother chip by himself, and then the doomsday light mother chip also needs to be upgraded, which requires a lot of civilization points to speed up the condensing process.

There is already a dreadnought mother chip, and if you get a battleship mother chip, you can reverse the blueprint of the dreadnought battleship immediately, so don't be too cool.

The conversion was quick and didn't take long.

But I don't know if it was an illusion, but after the transformation was completed, he felt that there was something wrong with Yu Wanyue's eyes.

When she left, she was alone in the huge office. Li Qing sat on a luxurious chair with her feet up on the desk, and turned on the channel of the territory.

"what!"

After staying in Shanhaiguan for a long time, when he came back to watch his domain channel, Li Qing immediately felt unwell.

"too small!"

Shanhaiguan's channel has hundreds of branch channels, and the scope of influence covers thousands of light years.

What kind of concept is that? It means that players can communicate in real time anywhere within a radius of 500 light-years from Shanhaiguan, without any delay.

And the channel in his territory is still the initial channel established at the beginning. There are only two branch channels, one is the territory branch and the other is the expedition branch. Whether players are posting advertisements, seeking team formation, or trading, etc. Speeches in these two channels caused the information inside to be mixed, which looked extremely chaotic.

"This won't work, it has to be expanded."

Li Qing opened the lord's panel without hesitation and started editing the territory channel.

The territory panel is just a panel to fully control the territory, but this setting is only a preset, not to change the territory immediately. If you want to change something, you must invest manpower and material resources to implement it after the preset.

For example, if he wants to change the channel of the territory, he first presets a template on the lord panel, and then invests civilization points according to the scope and difficulty of the template to take effect.

Territory channels are not important if they are important, but if the channel can be expanded, the experience will be better, and the territory will expand in the future, and the channel with Jinmen will be opened, and a large number of players will gather. If the territory channel is good, there will be certain The role of attracting players.

so.

Li Qing looked at the phantom of the territory channel projected in front of his eyes. The first step was to expand the range. He grasped it with both hands and pulled it out to a diameter of 100 light years. Then he naturally knew that 50 civilization points were needed.

This means that players can communicate in real time in any galaxy within this hundred light-year range.

But this is not enough, at least Li Qing thinks it is not enough.

With another pull of both hands, the range was expanded ten times, reaching a thousand light-years.

Then he sensed in his mind that this time he needed a full 200 civilization points.

"It's okay!"

He thought he needed 500 civilization points before, but he didn't expect it to be much less than he thought.

It seems that this expansion increase is not one light-year per civilization point, but another algorithm.

"A thousand light years."

Li Qing opened the star map and checked the range of a thousand light years. The north side is close to the isolation interference zone, the west side is close to the original Quierta Fortress, and the east side has crossed the Shata Civilization Locke Fortress and entered the interior of the Shata United Empire.

"It can be bigger."

Li Qing stretched out his hand again, and this time the scope of stretching directly exceeded the former headquarters galaxy of the Expeditionary Force. The south side covered a part of the Lester Pirate Group, and the east side had already touched the capital star of the United Empire of Shata.

Looking at the demand for civilization points, 650 points are needed.

"Well, it's okay."

This consumption is a bit outrageous, and the regional channels of Shanhaiguan are not so large.

Shanhaiguan is under the jurisdiction of the Senate of the United Human Empire. It is not ruled by anyone, and it cannot obtain civilization points. Therefore, the civilization points of the three core fortresses are provided by the major lords.

The point of civilization is not Chinese cabbage. Any military leader is hoarding it, so of course he is reluctant to spend too much on it.

Li Qing simply thought about it, and decided that Jialan collar's territory channel is only this big.

The reason is simple. The coverage of the territory channel is the territory of the territory by default. Now the territory channel covers the capital of the Shata United Empire, which means that his territory will also expand there in the future.

"No, it needs to be expanded."

Li Qing expanded the territory again, consuming a total of 850 civilization points, including the entire central province of the Shata United Empire.

In this way, when the United Empire of Shata is captured in the future, the covered central province will be his territory by default, and the few living planets in it will naturally belong to him by default.

Although Zutar defaults that individuals can only grab two living planets, this is also the default rule, but I don't know which default priority is higher.

Li Qing felt that he could find an opportunity to ask the old patriarch, if the default rules of the territory had a higher priority, then he must spend a lot of civilization points to cover the entire Shata United Empire to complete the default ownership.

As for now, so be it.

A total of 850 civilization points are consumed, and the coverage of the territory channel is 4600 light years.

To the East: Covers the central province of the United Empire of Shattar.

Going south: Covering the Lester Pirate Group, approaching the transfer base at the junction of the Zutar star field and the Tianjin star field.

To the West: Already a few hundred light-years further west beyond the original Expeditionary Force base.

Going north: It has crossed the isolation interference zone and is more than a thousand light-years north.

Then, Li Qing started to consume civilization points again, and began to add branch channels in the territory channel.

Adding branch channels also consumes additional civilization points, and the consumption depends on the size of the channel. The larger the channel range, the greater the consumption.

Li Qing tried to divide the first channel, but found that it took a full 85 civilization points to divide one.

In other words, a branch channel is equivalent to one-tenth of the main channel.

"horrible!"

But it has to be divided into several channels, otherwise it is still a bit tasteless.

After thinking about it carefully, he has ten branch channels besides the main channel——

The first and second channels are player team channels: there are two in total. All individual or team players in the territory form a team on channel one. Large teams and chambers of commerce recruit guards, mercenaries and the like are classified into channel two.

Channels 3 and 4 Business Deals: No need to explain, all kinds of deals are advertised here.

The commercial channel is also divided into two channels: Channel 1 is for personal transactions of players, and Channel 2 is for teams and commercial companies to trade.

Channel 5: War Channel: Discuss war-related content here.

Channel Six: Army Channel: This channel is only open to Army players.

Channel 7: Life Occupational Channel: This channel is only open to life professional players, such as naval architects, scientists and other life professional players.

Channel 8: Casual Players Channel: Most players don’t have much talent and capital, they can only be ordinary people, working every day to make a living like ordinary people, they don’t live very well, and they don’t know how to do it in most territories There is a dedicated channel for them, but Li Qing considers that there will definitely be many ordinary players in the territory in the future, and provides them with a place where they can communicate.

Channel Nine: Anonymous Channel: Anonymity can be set in this channel, anyone can enter to speak, and a message box is set up, where players can leave messages to the territory to give various suggestions.

In addition to these nine public channels, there is also a territory internal channel, which is exclusively for members of the territory to communicate.

Of course, the channel of the Expeditionary Army is still there, but it is the channel of the Expeditionary Army, and he cannot and will not expand it.

Just use it as a foil, but if a normal person sees that the expeditionary force channel is limited to one galaxy, while the Jialan Territory channel covers a real-time communication area of ​​4600 light years, it is self-evident which side he will choose to stay in.

It is worth mentioning that the player's personal communication range is also determined by the local area channel. His territory channel covers 4600 light years, and the distance that players in the channel can communicate in real time is also 4600 light years.

Of course, it is only for Jialan collar players. If they want to enjoy this benefit, they must join Jialan collar and obtain a similar account status.

This kind of player who belongs to the Garland collar will be able to provide the lord with civilization points.

Except for public channels like Shanhaiguan, which belongs to the Senate of the United Human Empire and is open to all human players, and does not require a Shanhaiguan account.

The ten branch channels cost 850 civilization points, plus the main channel 850 points, a total of 1700 civilization points, and the remaining civilization points were used for more than half.

But Li Qing felt that the cost was worth it, no matter where it came from.

Less than two seconds after the 1700 civilization points fell, he received a message from Li Lie:

"Damn it, boss, hurry up and see how the territory channel has changed?"

Li Qing asked back:

"How did you know so quickly?"

"I don't know how many people are staring at the communication in the channel all the time. How can they not know about such a big change."

"Okay, it's nothing, I just expanded the channel just now."

"Good guy, the coverage is so wide, boss, you have spent a lot of money!"

"of course."
