Zerg OL: This game is a bit dry

Chapter 1012: Purchase of Ships for Exploration
After all, their class is often fixed since birth. If they want to change their class, they have to wait for an opportunity, seize it, and ultimately change their fate.

It sounds a bit magical, but this is the current state of their civilization.

"I'm sure you all know that for us, this is an opportunity to change our fate. From the moment we are born, our fate is often already determined. There are not enough resources for us to do what we want to do."

"We are the people living at the bottom of this civilization."

"If there is no suitable opportunity, we may just have to wait until we die of old age."

"But now that we have this opportunity, we must take control of our own destiny no matter what."

At this time, the captain said this to all the team members. In fact, everyone is very clear about the current situation.

Opportunities like theirs are extremely rare.

"Don't worry, Captain. We understand what you are talking about. After all, we have seen too many of these things over the years."

"Although we don't know what will happen in the future, we will earn as much as we can now. If we have the conditions to change our class, that would be the best. If we can't change it, it doesn't matter. At least we have tried our best."

Hearing what his teammates said, the captain nodded with satisfaction. In fact, they had been together for so long that they naturally knew about the situation of their teammates. However, sometimes they still had to explain the situation to everyone clearly, so that there would not be so many complaints when performing various operations later.

For them, their current behavior and operation is a kind of gambling. Let's put it this way. If they succeed, everyone will be happy. If they fail, they will really have nothing. And the most important thing is that from the time they got rich to now, except for the monthly fixed expenses and living expenses that cannot be avoided, the rest of the funds are all invested.

Even when the economy is tight in the later period, all of this money may have to be invested, and the family can only live on the remaining funds. In short, they now have the ability to change the situation of the entire family, but the decision they made is that investing all of this money is risky, and it is impossible to say that there is no risk at all.

Even though the risk is still very high, they have no choice but to do so in order to change their fate. Their family members are not stupid and can understand their behavior. They also know that if they don't invest all the money, they may always be in this class. If they are lucky enough to encounter an opportunity, they may still have a chance to change their fate, but most of the time, there may not be such an opportunity.

"Don't worry, Captain. We have discussed the general situation with our family members. They also think that this is an opportunity for us. If we can seize this opportunity, our future destiny will change fundamentally, so they are willing to take the risk."

Hearing this, the captain nodded with satisfaction. Every year in civilization there are many people who have similar ideas to them, and many people who do the same things as them.

Although the final fate of most people is not particularly good, with a high probability of losing everything and being reduced to their original state, there are also some people who emerge as unexpected forces and eventually change their fate.

Although everyone knows that doing this is very risky, but what does it matter to them?

Sometimes if you don't try, you will never know whether real change will happen from now on.

After this communication, everyone became more certain about their future plans.

In the following days, they naturally invested all their resources without hesitation, and soon their third and fourth ships were ready.

The fifth ship has naturally been booked.

In short, the early preparations have been completed, and what comes next for them is the most difficult post-production stage.

At this time, in a huge space station, some of the space stations inside were built by some merchants of civilization or some special organizations. Most of the areas where these space stations were built are resource-rich areas, or some important transportation fortresses. The reason for choosing these areas is naturally because the space is arranged in consideration of the other party coming to support as soon as possible when encountering danger, so he must arrange various transmission equipment on his side.

If these transmission equipment are deployed, then some good areas where tolls can be collected will naturally become the first choice.

Once you occupy these areas, there are very few things you need to consider. First, mine all the resources here, and then start collecting tolls slowly.

It is no exaggeration to say that a good transportation fortress can make a lot of money just by collecting tolls, without having to consider the amount of resource reserves there. Of course, if these areas have no connection, then forget it. At this time, the captain looked at this luxuriously decorated space station and couldn't help but feel envious.

"I don't know when we will have such a space station." A teammate sighed at this time, and after hearing what this teammate said, the captain couldn't help but shook his head.

"What are you thinking about? With our resources, we will never be able to occupy these areas in this lifetime. Forget about it for now. For us now, if we can make a small amount of money and invest it in buying a flagship, I will be very satisfied."

Hearing what the captain said, the teammates all nodded in agreement.

"As long as we have a flagship, it means we have the authority to purchase flagship-level industrial ships. Then we can buy real mining behemoths."

"Once we have flagship-level collection ships and combat ships, we will be able to take off completely."

At this time, everyone was talking and imagining the future, and at this moment, a person came over and interrupted their discussion. Seeing the person coming, everyone stopped talking and gradually became serious.

This person was the warship seller they contacted.

He has a complete fleet in his hands, which is the most critical thing to purchase warships. Although the threshold is not high now, there is still a threshold.

Moreover, these things are in great demand, especially some of the better warships.

Of course, this is not referring to advanced technology. Even the basic models of warships are very different. Some are empty ships and some are fully equipped. Compared with directly purchasing an empty ship, a fully equipped one is naturally the best, because the various configurations of the ship also require a lot of money.

A complete fleet includes various warships.

Moreover, the equipment of these warships are naturally configured so that they can complement each other and cooperate with each other to enhance individual combat effectiveness.

Seeing the businessman coming, the captain started the relevant negotiations on behalf of everyone.

"Your fleet has two strategic-level warships, a strategic cruiser as the auxiliary command ship of the team, in addition to these, there are 20 cruisers, 40 frigates, 20 combat destroyers, and reconnaissance ships."

"All of these ships are first-level technology." After hearing what the captain said, the merchant who sold the fleet nodded.

"That's about it. Our warships are equipped with first-level technology. All warships are also first-level technology."

"The warship's various equipment has a service life limit of seven years, so it can be considered relatively new."

"We have discussed the current price we can offer you before. The price of a battleship is 5 million."

"300 million for strategic cruisers, 30 million for cruisers, 10 million for destroyers, 3 million for frigates, and 3 million for reconnaissance ships."

Hearing the merchant's offer, the captain couldn't help but frown slightly. "Your price is a little high."

"How can this be?"

"Our price is already very affordable. We have already sent you the equipment list for each ship. You can go to the market to check out the prices of these equipment. If you take the whole package, it is definitely not cheap."

"But these components of yours have been in use for a long time. I've seen that many of them have a damage rate of over 30%. Given this damage rate, the price you're charging is a bit high."

"These equipment can be used for at least another 10 years. If they are used in a battle, then there is nothing to say. In short, our price is absolutely fair. Even if you go to the second-hand market to buy them, it will definitely not be cheaper than the price we offer."

In this way, everyone started to go through rounds of verbal battles. The amount of the transaction this time was too huge, and it was impossible to complete the negotiation in a few days. Including the captain and the team members, after the negotiation every day, they began to discuss how to lower the price, what details needed to be taken into consideration, and what issues could be solved to lower the price further. After all, they definitely did not have enough funds.

They used all their mining ships as collateral and borrowed a sum of money to barely make up the money, so for them, this was all their belongings and nothing could go wrong. If something went wrong, they would probably lose everything.

Not only that, they will also owe an astronomical sum that they may not be able to pay off in their lifetime, which is something they cannot accept.

The entire negotiation process took nearly half a month. With such a huge amount of money, it would not be excessive to be cautious in the transaction. After everything was settled, the other party quickly completed the relevant procedures for the handover.

Although the procedures were rather complicated, it was still in the interstellar age after all, and the entire handover process was relatively quick. Now that everything had been handed over, everyone present came to the port where their ships were parked. When they saw their own formation, they couldn't help but get excited.

"We never thought that such a huge fleet would become our private property."

The captain was also filled with pride at this moment.

Anyone who sees such a fleet will be excited.

And the formation here will also be their starting point.

In the future they will have to rely on such a team to support themselves.

When they develop in the future, they will have a larger army.

"Okay, brothers, now it's time to recruit people according to the plan. If you have any acquaintances, you can contact them first."

"But let me be frank. If the people I bring here are useless and don't obey orders, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After hearing what the captain said, everyone present nodded.

When good things happen, one naturally thinks of taking care of one's family first. After all, letting one's family make money with oneself can be regarded as keeping the wealth within the family.

Of course, they also have status, and they know very well what the situation is like for their family members, and what positions they can take. For some more important positions, they still choose to recruit people from outside.

Of course, it is easier to recruit people. After all, the combat power of a team like theirs is definitely up to standard. Although they are now at war with Civilization No. 1, sometimes the teams of the two civilizations will meet.

After years of development, the current level of technological civilization is not low. At least they can fight against conventional formations like those of Civilization No. 5. The normal combat loss is about 1:.

In the past few years, when the two civilizations fought, the main direction they took was more towards the high-end. As for the mid- and low-end, Civilization No. 7 did not focus on research, because these ships did not play a big role on the battlefield. It was also for this reason that the insects' technology surpassed that of the low-end.

In the past, 40:1 would probably be very normal.

Now we can achieve 5:1, and if we use better ships, we can even reach 2:1.

Of course, it is because of such strength that some people dare to go out and explore. Otherwise, if they encounter the team of Civilization No. 1, they will be doomed, and no one dares to go out and take risks.

As their team began to recruit people, people soon came to sign up one after another.

There were applicants for different positions, and of course they also carefully selected a group of pretty good people.

This group of people will also go through multiple screenings, and finally only those who can be used will be left. Then they will continue to recruit and screen people. In this way, those who are left in the end are elite people who are very useful to them.

After all, they offer very high salaries in order to recruit capable people.

Soon a team of several thousand people was recruited. These people will have a large amount of expenses every month. Not only that, there are also ship maintenance costs and various taxes.

The funds consumed every day were like water flowing, so after recruiting enough people, the captain immediately led everyone to set off. Long before they applied to purchase the combat formation, they had already explored an area.
