Chichen Battleship

The first Chichen Battleship, once built, would head straight for the frontier!

Qingyang's plan was very clear.

The frontier was extremely far from Qingyang's current region. It would take roughly a year to get there.

That included the time spent using spatial facilities such as Star Gates!

Without Star Gates and star-ring routes, even the Eternal Fleet, with its Dark Space jumps, would need several centuries.

"Travel while earning Star Points to expand the fleet, explore Dimensional Worlds along the way... It'll probably take even longer. We'll need to prepare plenty of supplies."

Qingyang grew more and more excited. He immediately purchased a batch of warship-building resources and had them delivered to the nearest Starport.

"See? I told you pioneering commanders were all like this!"

Guxue pointed at the excited Qingyang in the distance, her pretty face full of pride as she spoke to Guxing.

"..."

By the time the Eternal Fleet reached the designated Starport, a day had already passed.

The supplies Qingyang had purchased through the Star Network had long since arrived. In addition, he had recruited dozens of warship command personnel and related crew members.

In many situations, warships needed to split up to carry out Combat Missions. All he had to do was grant subordinates lower-level command authority over the Starcraft.

Otherwise, how could anyone possibly control so many warships in a high-level fleet?

A Starship Commander was the core and foundation of a Starfleet. They did not necessarily have to be frontline commanders; it was enough for them to control the overall direction.

After arranging the crew, Qingyang eagerly looked at the special resources that filled an entire warehouse.

Purchasing those resources had cost seventy thousand Star Points, just enough to build one Chichen Battleship and one Jianren Cruiser.

The remaining forty thousand-plus Star Points were Qingyang's reserved bottom line.

Datafication also consumed energy. Only Star Points, which were likewise data energy, could provide power to a Starfleet.

Ship cannons, travel, and shields all required Star Points to operate.

That was the fundamental reason Star Points could serve as a commander's hard currency!

Forty thousand Star Points were enough for the current Eternal Fleet to fight at high intensity for a long time, even without any income.

Qingyang entered the warehouse alone, then took out the Chichen Battleship Master Blueprint and the Jianren Cruiser blueprint.

After confirming production, the two cards swiftly floated into the air. Centered on the cards, blue phantoms of two warships rapidly took shape.

The surrounding Starcraft resources instantly transformed into particles, forming several streams of light that surged toward the two warship phantoms.

Qingyang stared at one of the massive warship phantoms and said thankfully, "Good thing the warehouse I rented is big enough."

A vast mental wave swept through the warehouse. After confirming that nothing unexpected had happened, Qingyang found a reclining chair and lay down. His consciousness entered the Star Network, where he went to Magic Sea Academy to study theoretical knowledge.

The construction process for the two warships would take around three or four days.

The manufacturing process for Starcraft was actually far more complicated than that of conventional warships. It only seemed simple because the blueprints handled everything from start to finish.

A market in a commercial center at the Starport.

Guxing walked down the street expressionlessly, looking every bit like a cold and aloof handsome man—provided one ignored the several pieces of merchandise hanging from him.

"Brother! This one, this one!"

"Isn't any one of the things we have at home more valuable than these?"

"Come on, valuable is valuable, but those are way too understated. Look how exaggerated this one is."

Guxue held a one-meter-long crystal sword ornament and waved it around with a whoosh.

Guxing smiled helplessly, but then his peripheral vision caught sight of a hall.

Starfleet Crew Talent Market.

Unlike the recruitment halls in the Star Network, these talent markets scattered throughout the various Starports were specifically prepared for civilian commanders.

The crew members inside had only a little practical experience, but their recruitment costs were low. They could barely be used during the early stages.

For some reason, however, as Guxing looked at the entrance to the talent market, an impulse suddenly arose within him.

Subconsciously changing direction, he walked inside.

Guxue noticed this and found it strange. "Brother?"

Her brother normally would not spare places like this a second glance. Why had he suddenly—

!!!!

Remembering her brother's second talent, Guxue immediately set down the ornament in her hand and followed him inside.

Ignoring the crowds enthusiastically pitching themselves to him, Guxing followed the feeling in his heart, winding through the market until he reached a corner.

Guxue said nothing behind him, her gaze seriously sweeping over the people near her brother.

The two unusually dressed and oddly behaving young people attracted plenty of attention, and others curiously followed behind them.

Until Guxing stopped in front of two plainly dressed figures.

One man and one woman. They looked young, seemingly a pair of siblings.

The depth in Guxing's eyes made the two before him nervous. As his aura gradually spread, the onlookers around them were startled.

Such powerful Individual Might, and he was still so young!

At last, Guxing spoke calmly. "Names, ages, home planet, and whether you possess any talents?"

The slightly more mature-looking young man stepped forward. "My name is Valen Servat, and this is my younger sister, Mia. We're both nineteen, with no talents. Our home planet is... We originally belonged to a fallen branch family of a major clan in an Elite Nation. In the end, our entire family was driven from the clan territory, and now we live on a planet in an Ordinary Nation."

Guxue's expression turned strange. It sounded like something out of a biography.

Guxing fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "Do you want a job? The prerequisite is that you can earn our commander's approval."

The two were stunned. These two extraordinary-looking young people were Starfleet crew members?

Then it had to be a powerful fleet!

"We can try!" Valen answered without hesitation.

Guxing nodded, and the group immediately left the talent market.

A few days later.

Qingyang exited the Star Network, his eyes somewhat vacant.

Over the past few days, he had "died" more than thirty or forty times in total, mostly dying when his warship exploded.

Several other times, strange creatures had forcefully boarded the ship and killed him in the control room.

"Hiss... Isn't the pain dampened at all?" It took Qingyang quite a while to recover.

He was numb from dying.

[Starcraft construction complete]

Two cards floated before Qingyang.

Remembering that he still had two Starcraft, Qingyang hurriedly looked up. His gaze passed over the Jianren Cruiser and fixed tightly on the other Starcraft, which was visibly a size larger.

[T8 Starry Sky Battleship] [Model: Chichen]

[Length: 3500m] [Average height and width: 700m]

[Shield: Ring Sun Type 1 Shield—25,000, recovery speed: 200/s]

(Single-instance damage below 0.5% is negated)

[Weapons: Chiyan Main Cannon—Standard Type ×1, Penetration Type ×1 (special, 8k energy-level damage)]

[Chiyan Secondary Cannon—Standard Type ×4, Penetration Type ×4 (1.5k energy level)]

[Particle Ship Cannon—Standard Type ×40, twin rapid-fire type ×20]

[Defensive Dense System—×1, Tianchi Space Suppression System ×1]

[Model enhancement: Shield and weapon energy levels increased by 150% (already calculated)]

Secondary cannons almost comparable to the main cannons of ordinary Starry Sky Battleships?!

Two 8k-energy-level main cannons, including a Penetration Type main cannon?!

Even a Shining Moon Type only had a single 5k-energy-level main cannon, while its secondary cannons were far below one thousand energy levels.

Was this the power of a Master Blueprint warship?

It would have no problem taking on two Shining Moon Types alone. Under certain battle conditions, even three Shining Moon Types might not match a single Chichen Type!

Just how powerful were the Master Blueprint versions of the Shining Moon Type?

Shaking his head to drive the complicated thoughts from his mind, Qingyang estimated that the Shining Moon Type's Master Blueprint was probably T5 or even T4.

"The Chichen Type is the strongest T8 battleship!" Qingyang proudly boasted.

Anyone would feel lightheaded after obtaining such a powerful Starcraft with a unique model.

After successfully datafying the two Starcraft, Qingyang entered the control room. Looking around at an environment no worse than that of the Shining Moon Type, he became even more satisfied.

The environmental configuration was equally high-class!

[Self-check complete. Leave this enclosed environment?]

"Leave immediately!"

There was a problem with the chapter release, so it was deleted several times.
