Mr. Qing, what do you want?

Charka Star Lake, integrated Star Port.

Looking at the dozens of Star Gates standing in various parts of the Star Port, Qingyang pondered his next plan.

He had originally intended to go to the low-level war zones on the frontier to gain military merits, but now...

The suddenly acquired Chichen Type Battleship gave him other ideas.

Acquire a few more warships and head directly to the Dimensional World!

Whether it was killing creatures inside or destroying civilizations, there would be considerable military merits and Star Points rewards.

The most important thing was to make a name for himself and attract the attention of the Commander Academy, which would make it easier to obtain some rare resources.

"Guxing, does the Moonlight Group have any branches?" Qingyang looked at Guxing.

Guxing immediately replied, "The Moonlight Group is a major conglomerate from a high-level powerful nation. At the very least, branches are only established in the capital stars of major nations."

The Moonlight Group's business spanned the warship industry, and Starships were just their most famous product.

Therefore, many major nations had cooperative relationships with the Moonlight Group.

Qingyang immediately selected a Star Gate, paid the toll, and three warships instantly rushed into the Star Gate.

Although subspace travel was very convenient, even hundreds of light-years could be crossed in just a few days.

However, the major nation they were going to this time was millions of light-years away from this place, crossing between galaxies.

Only Star Gates could reach it in a short time.

Purchase some supply resources, deal with the Star Phantom Moths locally, recruit some crew members, and the most important matter.

Qingyang roughly figured out what he needed to do and immersed his consciousness into the Star Net.

Prepare a strategy in advance, otherwise getting lost in their capital star would be embarrassing.

Purple Thistle Kingdom.

A medium-sized major nation within the Star Sea Human Alliance, possessing a vast territory of millions of light-years.

With planetary modification technology and artificial stars, its population numbered in the trillions, and its resources were abundant.

And based on this enormous system, a large number of Commanders and a massive army also emerged.

Naturally, such a large market attracted the attention of many Alliance conglomerates and financial groups.

Among them, the Moonlight Military Industry Group ranked among the top in terms of influence!

As a major nation, it had to respond to the Alliance's call and dispatch troops to the frontiers or Dimensional Worlds to fight the enemy.

Moreover, the source of a major nation's resources, besides trade, also included plundering other Dimensional Worlds and hostile civilizations!

Therefore, the volume of warships and related trade was also quite considerable.

Their own military industry was responsible for the core systems, while most of the rest was outsourced to other nations or companies.

This was also the military industry model for most nations in the Alliance.

Otherwise, the resources would just sit there, so it was better to spend them and turn them into military strength.

As long as the Four Super Nations and those top powerful nations remained, the Alliance would always be a united front.

As long as the agreements for military trade were properly drafted, there would be no fear of being cheated.

Purple Thistle City.

Although it was called a city, it actually encompassed an entire star system.

More than eighty massive life-bearing planets were all urban areas, and even the pale golden star was artificially created!

Commercial cities or residential cities with diameters of hundreds of kilometers moved in space according to a pattern, with thousands of them visible at a rough glance.

Between the planets, within the artificially demarcated flight paths, dense shuttles and flying cars flowed ceaselessly.

From time to time, one could see patrol warships moving among them.

Purple Thistle Star Port 3.

As the surface of the Star Gate trembled slightly, three warships emerged one after another.

At first glance, Qingyang was bewildered.

Bright, lively, crowded!

It was hard to imagine that the word "lively" could be used to describe an entire large star system!

[Welcome to Purple Thistle City. To ensure smooth traffic, all Commanders are requested to pilot only one Starship into the city.]

A mechanical prompt sounded. Qingyang had the other two warships stop and put into storage.

He then piloted the Moonlight Ship into the ship lane.

[Ship maintenance, not 9w8, only 998!]

[Sanlu Gene Optimization Fluid, your child's future will change because of it!]

[Starry Sky Commercial City No. 1089 officially opens! 10% off storewide!]

[]

Closing the information reception screen, Qingyang gazed at the enormous starship city drifting not far away, its diameter spanning over a thousand kilometers.

He remained silent.

This was a commercial district for civilian trade.

A creation of this scale, possessing such exaggerated travel speeds and shields.

A Level 5 civilization would absolutely treasure something like this.

"Is this what humanity is like in this universe?" Qingyang mused inwardly.

What Qingyang didn't know was that the conspicuous Moonlight Ship had also attracted the attention of many in Purple Thistle City.

"A Shining Moon Type Battleship?"

"Send a virtual invitation. Whether they come or not is secondary; just make sure it's delivered."

"Commander prodigy? Shouldn't he be preparing for his first Dimensional World exploration at this time?"

Meanwhile, in Purple Thistle City, on a planet covered in dreamlike flora where countless structures were built atop hundreds of super-giant trees.

Somewhere within the top-tier architectural complex on the central, hundred-thousand-meter-tall giant tree.

A man who had been processing documents paused.

"A Shining Moon Type Battleship has arrived? Is it an external sales number from headquarters??"

The man, initially just surprised, instantly became serious and straightened his clothes.

"Xiao Wang, prepare a star shuttle and head to the Star Port."

"Understood, Manager."

The Moonlight Ship docked.

Qingyang and the siblings Gu Xing and Gu Xue disembarked from the warship.

Ignoring the gazes of those around them, Qingyang looked down at the planet.

He was particularly amazed by the hundreds of super-giant trees that nearly reached low orbit.

A city built upon plants?

How extravagant.

Suddenly, the surrounding crowd stirred slightly.

Qingyang turned his head and saw a platinum star shuttle, about a hundred meters long, rapidly approaching the Star Port.

He hadn't paid much attention initially, but unexpectedly, the star shuttle stopped directly in front of the three of them.

Qingyang blinked, while Gu Xing and Gu Xue were full of surprise.

The siblings exchanged a look, "This seems like..."

As expected, the cabin door dissolved into particles and disappeared.

A man in a white formal suit stepped out of the star shuttle, a wide smile on his face.

Then, to the astonishment of the surrounding crowd, he proactively extended his hand, "Hahahaha, Mr. Qing!"

"It is truly an honor for me, Bi, to have Mr. Qing visit the Purple Thistle branch company!"

Qingyang and the other two were stunned.

"Uh..."

Noticing Qingyang's confusion, Manager Bi suddenly realized and quickly said with a smile, "Your father is Qingyundao, correct, Mr. Qing?"

Qingyang nodded somewhat puzzledly.

"Then there's no problem. Mr. Qing being able to order a Moonlight Ship from headquarters means he is an acknowledged VIP!"

With that, Manager Bi stepped aside. Qingyang, still bewildered, boarded the star shuttle, with Gu Xing and Gu Xue looking equally surprised.

It felt as though their boss and his father were unfamiliar with each other.

The star shuttle departed under the gaze of a large crowd, and news quickly spread throughout Purple Thistle City.

The head of the renowned Moonlight branch company in the Purple Thistle Kingdom was being so polite to a young man?

Meanwhile.

Manager Bi engaged in pleasantries all the way, and finally, they arrived at a conference room.

Before Manager Bi could continue his courtesies, Qingyang quickly said, "I'm here this time mainly to conduct some business with Manager Bi."

As he spoke, he produced a data card and handed it over.

It contained detailed data on alternative materials for the T8 Moonlight Ship.

Of course, it wasn't complete, only some of the most common substitute materials.

And the substitution rate wasn't significantly high compared to other alternatives.

Manager Bi received the data and his consciousness quickly scanned through it, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

The material composition was indeed ordinary, and the reduction in material usage after substitution was less than 10%.

But make no mistake, this is technology, this is a Radiant Moon Ship!

Targeting the entire trade sector of the Moonlight Group, even this alone is enough to bring the group considerable profit!

Not to mention that Shining Moon Type ships are basically interchangeable. Since the T8 can use superior material replacements.

As long as the data and attributes of these substitutes are studied, there's a chance to research substitutes for the T7 and T6, and even stronger ship classes.

He quickly finished reviewing the complex material synthesis and alloy structures.

Manager Bi said solemnly, "You don't mind if I hand this material over to the research department for verification, do you?"

"Of course, we will definitely offer you a satisfactory price!"

Qingyang smiled, "You can. It's precisely because I trust your group that I'm providing this information."

Manager Bi nodded slightly, then his expression turned serious.

"So, Mr. Qing, what do you want?"

Thanks for the 600 coins in tips.

Thanks to Ji Xinyuan for the 500 book coins in tips.
