Survival on the Star Sea: Starting from a small broken ship and becoming stronger

It won't work otherwise. If we don't pile up defenses and face the waves of Chaos legions, the fleet with insufficient defense will become a thin-skinned dumpling with big stuffing, and will be easily eaten by them. It can't withstand the high-intensity force at all. fighting.

In order to improve the defense, the battleship's armor material must use crystal metal.

But the problem is that if the armor layer of a battleship is all made of crystal metal, the amount used will be extremely terrifying.

It would be fine if it belonged to a level 5 civilization belonging to a large force, and you could still get some scraps.

But like the sheep-headed man and pig-headed man in front of Zhao's cover, their "retail investor" civilization is very embarrassing.

Their strength is in the middle of the pack at best, but not above or below at worst.

Fixed mining area? That is simply not something that civilizations like them can get involved with.

The only stable high-level resource income is the trial battlefield. After clearing the battlefield, you can use your merits to exchange for resources.

But often this exchange is not enough to cover wartime losses.

At this time they will fall into a strange circle.

Without minerals, warships have no defense. A fleet without defense will suffer extremely high battle losses, its scale will never increase, and its combat power will not reach the corresponding level.

If the fleet size cannot be increased, more warships will need to be built.

In the end, minerals are still needed.

There are many 5-6 level civilizations struggling in this weird circle, and those who come ashore are promoted to level 7.

Those who cannot make it to shore will struggle for a period of time or be completely destroyed, or become vassals of larger forces.

So even though some civilizations have reached level 5 or even level 6, their real strength is far from the same, far from reaching the standards of the corresponding level.

This is the case for the Pig and Wall clans.

After struggling for so long, they have long recognized the reality.

Understand the potential of your own race.

This is also the reason why they will look for the thigh at all costs, and after hearing the conditions given by Zhao Feng, their originally hanging hearts were finally relieved.

As for what the boss wants, it is nothing more than precious materials or rare equipment.

Similar to the ancient times when people made offerings to other countries, they were taken out as part of the certificate of surrender.

Although their racial strength is slightly stretched, they have survived in the star sea for so many years and have not been exterminated. This also shows from the side that they also have their own way of survival.

There may not be high-level resources, but these races have basically collected a lot of special and secret information.

Thinking of this, the sheep-headed man spoke first:

"We once explored a prehistoric site, but it has not been cracked due to technological reasons and other reasons. If you are willing, I can give you the coordinates of that site."

"As for the type of ruins, according to our many years of research, it may have a certain relationship with the "Cosmic Truth Cult". It is said that it was a super power in the past."

"Cosmic Truth? Truth?" After hearing the other party's answer, Zhao Feng couldn't help but repeat it several times.

While he kept chewing the word truth, a hint of haze flashed in his eyes.

Then he looked at the sheep-headed man and nodded, and sent it a declaration of allegiance certified by the Star Sea.

Then he turned his eyes and looked at the pig-headed commander:

"And you?"

"Sir, our location is too remote. We have found no ruins, no precious and rare materials, and no super high technology."

"Huh? Then what else do you have? Kill people to eat meat? Provide a stable meat supply chain?"

This time it was the goat-headed man's turn to complain.

But at this time, the sheep-headed man had already belonged to the boss, and the pig-headed commander had no way to refute, so he could only say:

"We don't have those things, but we have a very critical piece of information, information about the hierarchical secret passage."

Immediately afterwards, the pig-headed man did not show off, and directly told the general content.

"It is said that ancient civilizations do not need cosmic dive models to travel between levels. They have a special transportation network that allows them to move or exchange materials at various levels faster and more conveniently. The name of that thing is [ Stargate]."

"You can pull me down! Don't make me laugh, okay? You have to be more serious when making up stories!" The sheep-headed man retorted on the spot.

But Captain Pighead responded:

"That's true! There are corresponding records in our ancient books. A console of the star gate is located in the Level 0 surface universe. However, if you want to open it, you need the permission of the builder.

As for the civilizations with builder authority, there are a total of 5 civilizations in the records, namely [Ancient One], [Lightseeker], [Outer Ring Alliance], [Truth Clan] and a force whose name has been erased. "

In fact, Captain Pig Head didn't say a word.

That is, they have been to the star field where the coordinates are located, but unfortunately they found nothing.

It didn't matter whether they found out or not, but after Zhao Feng heard the name read out by the other party, his heart couldn't help but beat slowly.

Good guy, except for the [Outer Ring Alliance] and the force whose name was erased, he has heard of all the other three names.

And he is also the inheritor of two of the forces.

There is no need to say more about [Ancient One] and [Light-seeking].

They are all top-notch super civilizations, and Zhao Feng himself has a deep understanding of their abilities.

This [Truth Clan] is even more important. The guy who took away the brains of his parents was from the [Truth Clan].

This element was given too much at once, and Zhao Feng's mind was a little overwhelmed.

Although his brain is not enough, it does not affect his action of taking in his younger brother.

The next second, the pig-headed commander also received a declaration of allegiance certified by the Star Sea.

After taking over these two teams of men, the fleet that Zhao Feng could control was directly upgraded from less than 10,000 ships to 80,000 ships.

Of course, more than 70,000 of them are "little pigs and lambs".

After the collection was completed, Zhao Feng directly checked the firepower configuration of these more than 70,000 junk ships.

It doesn't matter if you don't read it. After reading it, Zhao Feng felt his head was buzzing.

‘M type 4-link electromagnetic machine gun? L-shaped 4th battery anti-aircraft gun? S-type railgun? M-type rotating gun? What kind of configuration are these? It’s really crazy that this thing can have output! ’

Shaking his head, he changed to a battleship.

‘The battle patrol is messing around, and the battleships can’t make any more mistakes, right? ’

As a result, Zhao Feng was dumbfounded on the spot after reading it.

[L-shaped twin Thor cannon] (missing a barrel)

[L-type electromagnetic rail accelerator gun] (acceleration coil is broken)

[M-Type Storm Stinger Launcher] (No stinger...)

Fortunately, they are not all stretched apart. Basically, 40-50 normal artillery pieces can be found on a battleship.

For example, [L-shaped retinue artillery array].

This set of weapons may be the only equipment they can produce at low cost.

There is no doubt that this is a live ammunition main gun.

But its power is much lower than [Ifrit Cannon].

Because the [Subordinate Artillery Array] has a slightly smaller caliber but a larger magnification, although it is less powerful, its rate of fire and range are stronger than the [Ifrit Cannon].

Likewise, crafting it doesn't require much in the way of high-grade materials.

This is also the reason why the two alien races can still achieve an average damage rate of 75% even though the firepower is spread apart.

Just when Zhao Feng was thinking about how to integrate these still usable battleships.

A new communication request popped up on the big screen in front of him again.

Staring at the three big question marks on the communication source, Zhao Feng felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

‘Again? I want to see who likes to hide their heads and show their tails so much. ’

Thinking of this, he first switched the resistance aura to mysterious resistance, and at the same time activated the special skill [High Fighting Spirit].

In this way, even if demigods throw memetic contamination at him across the screen, Zhao Feng can still resist it.

In addition, he was the only one in the bridge now, so he was not afraid of trapping his own people.

As the communication connection opened, familiar faces soon popped up.

‘Eriwen? And the First Princess? How could they. . . ’

With the helmet blocking it, the other end of the video couldn't see the change in Zhao Feng's expression.

At the same time, Zhao Feng's thoughts were racing, he must know that the human race on earth has been "dead" in the trial.

Now they are playing the Jovian human race, a race that has passed the test.

Although I don’t know why the other party did not continue to serve as commander-in-chief.

I don’t even know why the other party came to find me.

But Zhao Feng understands that now he should act as a stranger and cannot show any sense of familiarity.

So, after being silent for 2 seconds and fine-tuning his voice, Zhao Feng spoke first.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness."

Yes, there is indeed no sense of familiarity, but how could a race that has passed the test not recognize the First Princess?

Hearing Zhao Feng's strange tone, Varzinko, the former princess, couldn't help but show a nostalgic look, and then she said directly:

"I want to ask you for help."

This straight-to-the-point dialogue made Zhao Feng a little confused, so he continued to answer according to the role he played:

"Your Highness, I personally am very willing to help you, but the problem is that our strength seems to be good, but in fact it is just a fifth-level civilization..."

The meaning of Zhao Feng's words is already very clear.

To put it simply, our small temple cannot accommodate a giant Buddha like yours, and we can’t help you. You’d better hire someone else.

After hearing this, Eriwen suddenly interjected:

"I heard that there is such a race that can kill half-disabled demons in the trial stage, and a fleet alone can block the attack of the Chaos Legion for a year..."

Listening to the other party's description, Zhao Feng's right eye couldn't help but twitch wildly, although he didn't know how they did it.

But it is obvious that the human race should be exposed.

This made Zhao Feng feel a little disappointed. He was obviously very cautious, so how could he still be discovered?

Moreover, besides that, he is also very strange,

Now that you recognize the human race, why not just use the banner of the princess to forcefully convince yourself?

What do you mean by such a hint?

No wonder Zhao Feng was confused. After passing the human trial, he directly placed the base camp at Level 25.

And there has been no information exchange with the outside world for more than a year.

He didn't know at all that the outside princess was expelled from the royal family.

It was because the other party was unsure about this that they deliberately criticized him.

As for using force to suppress others?

How can she have any power~

Now it's nothing more than grabbing a few handles of the human race and trying to use them to blackmail her into helping her regain everything that belongs to her.

Yes, several handles.

One of them is that she knows that the potential of the human race is extremely high, so high that it can threaten the four top forces.

If it develops, it will definitely become the fifth largest force in the Xinghai Universe.

Let the pattern among the star sea civilizations be reshuffled.

Secondly, the human race has the ability to crack the blueprints, or it can be said that the human race has some permissions to crack the star sea system.

Why do you say that?

Because [offensive level]!

How could it be such a coincidence that not long after I showed you the blueprint, you were able to build it? How can there be such a coincidence~

Just these two, no matter which one is exposed, the future path of the human race will become extremely difficult.

If the first one is exposed, at most it will be targeted by all parties.

But if the second point is exposed, maybe the superpowers will take risks and risk being punished by Xinghai. They will also imprison and raise all human races before they develop to figure out how they crack the code. Xinghai authority.

They knew the value of these two pieces of information, but Zhao Feng also knew that some things could never be compromised.

Therefore, Zhao Feng was not frightened at all by Eriwen's hints, or "explicit statements", as if he was really talking about someone else, and he sighed together:

"That's really amazing. If we let them develop, wouldn't they also be able to occupy a place in the Star Sea Civilization?"

Hearing this, Eriwen couldn't help but frown.

In his heart, he secretly scolded the other party for not knowing how to show appreciation.

But her face did not show any dissatisfaction, but she changed the topic and continued:

"I recently heard about a very strange thing. It is said that there is a civilization in the universe that can crack certain permissions of the star sea system..."

Before he finished speaking, Vardenko suddenly raised his hand and interrupted the adjutant.

She looked directly at Zhao Feng on the screen and said softly:

"We don't have to play riddles with each other. There is nothing to hide. I am no longer the princess. My position was taken away by the third sister... Bah! It was taken away by Valni in a dishonorable way. After thinking about it, there is no one trustworthy around me. It's a powerful race, and I don't know how many other races have been absorbed by it. Fortunately, I met you, and you are the only way for me to regain my inheritance rights."

Hearing what the other party said, Zhao Feng was immediately stunned.

"What are you thinking? Do you think this is possible? You are the Valkyrie Empire, one of the four major forces in the Star Sea. You want me to help you fight against the empire? Have you ever thought about what will happen to my race? How many more will there be? People die for your lust for power?”

The more he talked, the angrier Zhao Feng became.

"The Chaos Legion has come to the door, why are you still here engaging in internal strife? I wonder if you have been corrupted by the forces of Chaos, and that's why you are so obsessed with power struggles."

Speaking of this, Zhao Feng's perception followed the communication signal and touched it.

Then he felt three familiar scents.

. . .
