Nest
Fatty You's men quickly brought over the blueprints for those Interstellar Battleship; he really did collect a lot of them.
If it weren't for the fact that Mecha were brought into reality, Fatty You would definitely have lost money.
But now, things are hard to say...
Old Wang and his team quickly selected the blueprints because they needed to find a warship that could be used with the blueprints they had acquired.
The warship core that Old Wang obtained from the Quartermaster is called XY-003. They need to find a warship that can carry the XY Series.
After searching high and low, they found that only two of the blueprints were usable: one for Galaxy-class warship and the other for Nebula-class warship.
After a brief discussion, the group chose and purchased the Star River-class card.
Normally, Nebula-class blueprints are indeed better than Star River-class, but if the Star River-class blueprints are Perfect and the Nebula-class blueprints are Rare-grade, that's a different story.
"As expected of you guys, you really have an eye for talent! This [Dawn] is the first warship blueprint in the entire game. I spent a huge amount of money to get it back then!" Fatty You said again with emotion.
He said everything he said this time was true; [Dawn]'s name can still be found online.
"Now that we've achieved our goal, we won't bother you any longer. Please keep this a secret for us," Wang Qianduo said after everyone had chosen their blueprints.
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret. I'll take you there!"

After obtaining the blueprints from Fatty You, everyone immediately began intensive preparations.
The difficulty of manufacturing the Interstellar Battleship blueprints exceeded their expectations.
Wang Qianduo has no shortage of Rare materials, but they lack a large amount of Normal materials, such as iron, which is the most commonly used material in the entire Interstellar Battleship.
This game can be pretty ridiculous at times, but in this situation, he's really going for it.
This Interstellar Battleship requires over 1,200 tons of Special Alloy Steel, which is no small sum.
Currently, the price of iron in the game is 4 Gold Crystal per ton, but that's the price of pure iron.
The price of Special Alloy has increased exponentially. Even in this era, the steel used in these Interstellar Battleship represents the most cutting-edge technology of the time.
Therefore, its price is 400 Gold Crystal per ton, so 1200 tons would cost 480,000.
This is just the price of iron; other metals like copper, aluminum, silver, and titanium are also quite valuable.
Something of this size amplifies the price of any raw materials.
Old Wang and the others did a preliminary calculation and concluded that this item would cost at least 1 million Gold Crystal.
This is just about materials. There are actually two other problems with the construction of the Interstellar Battleship. One is that they haven't bought other components yet.
Although the warship core is the most difficult component to obtain, this does not mean that the other components are not needed.
These items are also quite valuable, and some can only be obtained through quests.
Another thing is that they need a place to build warships.
Unlike Normal equipment, this item cannot be crafted simply by clicking a Player; instead, it requires a construction period of up to a full day.
This is actually a simplified version of the system; otherwise, how could something of this size be built in just one day?
"Let's solve the venue problem first, and we'll figure out the materials later," Lin Qimeng said.
If we don't solve the site problem first, there's simply nowhere to put all those materials.
"How about we buy a piece of land in Fairy City?" Old Wang suggested after thinking for a moment.
"That's Interstellar Battleship! How could we possibly afford a place as big as Fairy City?" Old Ma said.
"That's true!" Old Wang realized he was overthinking things; Fairy City was such a large piece of land that even he couldn't afford it.
"We don't necessarily have to buy it in Fairy City," said the Sword of Miracles.
"That's right. We only need that land for a short period of time. We can easily find a cheaper place to buy it, or we don't even need to buy it. We can just rent a piece of land!" Lin Qimeng said.
"Won't a deserted Planet be unsafe? Those materials aren't cheap either!" Sister Hua exclaimed.
"We can't consider that anymore; we can only try our best to keep it confidential and increase vigilance."
However, with such a large-scale procurement of materials, keeping it confidential is actually not very realistic.
Actually, this was a last resort. After Old Wang and the others finished their plan, they immediately began to implement it.
The group bought a piece of land on Flying Yellow Star in Star Domain 6. Planet 6 was a nearly barren Planet with no resources and no famous Star Beast.
The area is filled with yellow sand, and the climate is extremely harsh.
The land they bought was big enough to house four of the Interstellar Battleship they planned to build, but it only cost them 500 Gold Crystal.
After buying the place, the group built a huge warehouse and covered it with yellow sand; it was actually just an "iron box."
They need to use this place to store the large quantities of Normal materials they need; of course, they can't store valuable items here, because it's not safe.
Once these things were prepared, they went to acquire materials and parts, and also began to make the items they needed to obtain through missions a regular part of their daily routine.
The group roughly calculated that it would take about half a month to prepare these things.
This game isn't one you have to rush; obtaining various resources is just too Hard.

Five days later
Old Wang and his team are collecting materials in an orderly manner, and they are making rapid progress, estimating that they will be able to complete the task in less than 15 days.
Old Wang has successfully leveled up to level 15 in the past few days, but that's not important.
The important thing is that, through his "efforts," he finally accumulated enough points to redeem the Legendary Inlay Gem, Fallen Star's Lament, for the event.
Without saying a word, he redeemed it, an action that undoubtedly caused the entire game to boil over once again. In fact, many people had expected it to be him.
Just as they were preparing to harass Wang Qianduo again, another system notification from the game drew everyone's attention.
"System notification: The Black Shark Pirates within the Homeworld Star Domain have been completely eliminated. Black Shark Pirates will no longer spawn within the Homeworld Star Domain except in Instance Dungeon."
With the Black Shark Pirates who had infiltrated the area wiped out, General Huang, the commander of the Homeworld Base, decided to launch a full-scale attack on the Black Shark Pirate Lair.
The team- Instance Dungeon Nest [Black Shark Pirate Nest] is now open. The entrance to the Nest is located on Planet 075 in the Dark Star Domain.
You can only enter the Instance Dungeon through the Nest entrance, and clearing the Nest Instance Dungeon will grant you a large number of rewards.
The team that clears the Black Shark Pirate Nest for the first time will also receive the exclusive, Perfect ride, the Black Shark Motorcycle.
It seems this stone is the key to triggering this update; they really should thank Wang Qianduo for pushing the game's progress forward.
After the system notification, countless Player immediately wanted to head straight to Planet 099 Dark Star Domain, but then they encountered a problem.
That is, the Dark Star Domain is actually a lawless zone of the Alliance, inhabited by countless fugitives and Rebels.
There's no Teleportation Device with the Alliance here, so Player can only get there by airship.
The problem is that currently no Player owns a spaceship, not even a small Flying Boat.
Wang Qianduo and his group originally had a chance to get one, but they have already switched to the warship core.
Just as the Player Thought how to get there, a Main Quest appeared in the Task Hall: "Establish Teleportation Array on Planet 099 in the Dark Star Domain."
Anyone can accept this mission, but it can only be completed once. The reward for the mission is the core of Interstellar Battleship.
Upon seeing this quest, the entire game's guilds went crazy. They accepted the quest immediately and then rushed back to begin researching it.
After seeing this task, Old Wang and the others knew that their time was running out.
Although they are making rapid progress now, it will still take at least five to six days. I wonder if they will be able to build the Teleportation Array in the next few days?
"Looks like winning first place will be difficult!" Wang Qianduo
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether we're first or not, at least we're in the lead," Lin Qimeng.
These large guilds don't need to prepare materials like Old Wang and his group; they've already prepared everything and are just waiting for the core.
Once the core components are in place, they can assemble the warships in just one day.
"Do your best, and fight for what you deserve," said the Sword of Miracles.
"Let's exchange for the resources we can each day first, and see how things go with the rest."
As for joining them in the mission to build the Teleportation Array? Old Wang and the others weren't even interested in that.
There are just too many people in these big guilds. Old Wang and his group aren't much of a competitor. You can stop one or two teams, but can you stop 100 teams?
But they can keep stopping you!
I delivered 10,000 words on the first day of release, including 5,000 free words, and I just saw the release notification... I'll try my best to write another 10,000 words tomorrow!
