The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

  Chapter 2 and Noble Children

Time passed in his expectation. A week later, there was a knock on the door of the room. When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a neat tuxedo standing outside the door. Straight and meticulous.

   "Master Qing, please go to the conference room!"

  Li Qing nodded:

"I see."

  After a quarter of an hour, Li Qing, who had changed his clothes, came to one of the main buildings on the other side of the manor. The attendant gently opened the door, and there was a loud noise.

  Pushing the door and entering, a dozen or so eyes suddenly turned around, and when they saw it was him, they quickly retracted.

  Li Qing entered with a smile on his face. This kind of situation has been seen many times, and now he has no disturbance in his heart.

  In a very ordinary conference room, there were a dozen or so young men and women who looked somewhat similar sitting on the left and right, and they were many of his brothers and sisters.

On the top sits a middle-aged man with a serious face, black hair, looks very young, golden glasses framed on the bridge of the nose, and two well-groomed mustaches hang on his lips, looking extremely energetic, this is exactly He is Li Qing's cheap father in this life.

  Seeing him coming, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed a trace of complexity, he knocked on the table expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice:

   "According to the regulations of the empire, you need to develop human civilization for ten years to decide whether you will get a part of the family shares or inherit your father's industry in the family after ten years."

   Speaking of this, he glanced at the most outstanding children sitting in the front, and said in a deep voice:

   "Or have a better performance, get your great-grandfather's approval, and have the opportunity to compete for the position of family patriarch."

  Hearing this, you can clearly see the gleam in the eyes of the teenagers sitting in the first few rows. This gleam has a name called ambition.

  Although he didn't think his sons had that possibility, at least among the group of children who have grown up in recent years, none of them were particularly outstanding, but Li Xingchun still encouraged him.

"The development area determined by the family this time is located in the Jinmen Province of the Second Tianjin Star Region. The starting ships you need will be sent to the Jinmen Galaxy in the Jinmen Province in advance, and the starting funds will be allocated later According to your account, you need to go to Jinmen Province’s office in Jinmen Galaxy to report before the 15th of next month.”

   "You all prepare well and set off as soon as possible."

  After saying this, Li Xingchun stood up and said in a deep voice:

   "To open up at this time is to contribute to the family, but also to your own future and future. I hope you will go all out and leave no regrets."

   After speaking, he turned and left.

  The meeting room suddenly heard small voices, and all the brothers and sisters gathered together in twos and threes, communicating in low voices.

  Li Qing stood alone at the edge of the meeting room, watching the brothers and sisters divide into three groups, with the three most outstanding brothers as the head.

After several advanced gene adjustments, Li Xingchun's lifespan is as high as four to five hundred years, and now he is only in his early hundred years old, which is when he is young and strong. In addition to a regular wife and two ordinary wives who gave birth to a total of eleven children, Li Xingchun has also married many people. The concubine gave birth to seventy or eighty concubine children.

  With so many children, it is natural to hope that talented offspring will be born among them, which will make the family stronger. This is the unified behavior of all nobles and wealthy families.

   Li Qing, as an illegitimate child, was able to take him back and raise him for this reason.

Don’t be afraid to support them. The Qinghe Li clan ruled over 80 billion people. In addition to the Qinghe galaxy, there are also a large number of mining bases in the surrounding galaxies. The huge trading fleet and chamber of commerce belong to the family, and they make hundreds of millions of gold every day. , Raising such offspring is not a problem at all.

   Not to worry about having too many offspring, which will divide the family property.

  According to the regulations, among all descendants, as long as they have not awakened their innate talents and have player status, they will all be given a sum of money to leave the family on the day they reach adulthood.

  Even if the children who have awakened the innate talent and have the identity of a player, if the talent is not strong enough, their own ability is not enough, and they have made no achievements in ten years of development, they will still be forcibly separated.

  In this way, the only ones who can stay are the elites, and the benefits they bring will definitely exceed the thinned out family property.

It is through this method that these wealthy families will become stronger and stronger. Under the accumulation of generations, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, and then an expedition will be launched to seize a living planet and expand the territory for the United Empire of Mankind. Ordinary wealthy families were transformed and promoted to military lords, promoted to the aristocratic Senate, and became a member of the imperial ruling class.

  Although Li Qing awakened his innate talent, it turned out that the talent was not strong. It was just the most common talent, commonly known as a whiteboard.

If the performance is not good, you may face the same result of being forced to separate, but it is much better than those with unawakened talents. Not only will you have more money for the separation, but you can also accumulate a fortune in the past ten years. As long as you save some money, will be very comfortable.

   "It's really a real society."

  From entering here to leaving, no one spoke to him. Li Qing was speechless about the eighteen years of his subconscious life.

  Without a single friend, he naturally had nothing to miss, so he packed up his things the next day and applied to the family for permission to use the family star gate to teleport.

  A five-meter micro-aircraft mixed with a huge fleet and drilled into the vast star gate with a height of hundreds of kilometers, it is as inconspicuous as a teacup cat mixed with a group of tigers.

Stargates can only be established in star cities, but they can span tens of thousands of light-years from the fourth imperial constellation star field at the core of the empire to the second Tianjin star field. Only the door can do it.

  With a burst of space distortion, everything outside the aircraft is rapidly elongated to form lines of light that slowly rotate, forming a huge kaleidoscope.

   I don't know how long it took, but the kaleidoscope slowly turned into light again and gradually became shorter. He knew that the Jinmen Galaxy had arrived.

  New Milky Way, Perseus Arm, Second Tianjin Starfield, the capital of Jinmen Province—Jinmen Galaxy.

"More than six hundred years ago, Yu Yichen, the patriarch of the Yu family at that time, led the Imperial Expeditionary Force to defeat an alien civilization that was entrenched here and seized a large area of ​​territory. The overseas province of the United Empire - Jinmen Province, the core galaxy Jinmen."

   "Jinmen Province is a single star system, the main sequence star Tianyi is a B-type blue main sequence star, with a total of 17 large planets."

   "Jinmen No. 1 colonial planet, a second-class continental planet, with a standard size of 24 squares and a population of more than 18 billion. It is an urban planet integrating economy and administration."

   "Jinmen No. 2 colony planet, a second-class ocean planet, with a standard size of 17 grids and a population of 5.8 billion. It is a tourist planet integrating tourism and culture."

   "Reformed star No. 3, with a standard size of 24 grids, has a population of 9.5 billion, and is the financial center of the galaxy."

   "Reformation star No. 4, with a standard size of 15 grids, a population of 2.2 billion, an agricultural and animal husbandry planet."

   "The No. 5 modified star has a standard size of 12 grids and a population of 1.7 billion. It is a planet of science and technology and colleges. All the science and technology research institutes and colleges in the galaxy are here."

   "Reformed star No. 6, with a standard size of 29 grids, a population of 14.6 billion, an industrial planet."

   "In addition, there are 8 large space habitation stations in the Jinmen galaxy. The large one has a population of 2.1 billion, and the small one has a population of 500 million, with a total population of 11 billion."

   "The entire Jinmen has a total population of 62.8 billion and as many as 1.8 billion active players."

   "Jinmen has a fifth-level star city, four second- and third-level star castles for assistance, and a division-level fleet belonging to the Yu family stationed in the star city all year round."

"The central super star gate has 11 ultra-long-distance channels connecting the hinterland of the United Human Empire, and 112 regular channels connecting the legion star gates near Jinmen Province, overseas colonies, and home planets of friendly alien civilizations. It is the trade of the entire Jinmen Province. The center is also the trade center for humans in the Second Tianjin Starfield."

  Li Qing read through many materials of Jinmen Province slowly, and has a little understanding of Jinmen Province and the Yu family.

  The Yu family is a military lord who rose more than 600 years ago. It rose three hundred years earlier than the Qinghe Li family, but its overall strength is comparable to that of the Qinghe Li family.

  The main reason is nothing more than being alone overseas. Not only is it inconvenient to trade with the United Empire, but it also has to face many hostile alien races in the Tianjin star field at all times, making it difficult for the economy to develop.

Although the Yu family established an overseas province in the Tianjin Starfield and established a bridgehead for the human empire in other starfields, the Tianjin Starfield where the Jinmen Province is located is located at the junction of the Percelian spiral arm and the Yinxin area. The second star field divided by the Perseus spiral arm from the heart to the north, and the headquarters of the United Human Empire is located in the fourth star field, separated by a star field that does not belong to humans.

  It is difficult for ordinary civilian players to travel tens of thousands of light-years from the headquarters of the empire to the overseas provinces. This has led to a small number of players in the overseas provinces, and naturally the economy cannot improve.

It is worth mentioning that the shape of the new Milky Way just happens to be the same as that of the Milky Way in the old universe, with a galactic center and four spiral arms. It is not a copy of the old Milky Way. It's different, and it doesn't meet the Andromeda Galaxy. It's a new galaxy, just to commemorate the old Milky Way.

  So if you try to go to the end of Orion to find some galaxy with nine planets, you will not find anything.

   Entering the Jinmen galaxy, Li Qing immediately went to the family's office in Jinmen, ready to take the boat prepared by the family. What he reported earlier was a frigate.

  That's right, he is going to take the war route, and whether he wants to expand the territory depends on whether the development goes smoothly.

  Actually, pioneering doesn’t necessarily mean expanding territory, or taking the war route. It doesn’t matter whether you are doing business, trading, building a team, building a fleet, or even becoming a pirate, as long as you can make outstanding achievements.

  The reason why Li Qing took the war route was naturally for the sake of the palm universe.

  Although the thing was seriously damaged, it would be too wasteful to do anything else even if you don’t look at it, just look at the huge dock array inside and the huge space in your palm.

   And, his innate talent is also suitable for this line.

  It’s not the original innate talent, the original whiteboard innate talent belongs to that silly subconscious, when his main consciousness wakes up, the real innate talent covers the original whiteboard talent.

   "Properties panel!"

  Li Qing let out a soft cry, and the light curtain in front of him popped open—

  Name: Li Qing.

   Race: Human.

   Lifespan: 18/108, not genetically adjusted.

  Innate Talent: Son of the Star (Secret)

   Acquired Talent: None.

  Innate Attributes: Perception 39, Memory 30, Mind 34, Spirit 31, Charm 28.

  Life Skills: None.

  Combat skills: None.

   Brain plugs: 20 pcs.

  Son of the Stars (Secret): This existence is the spokesperson of the past. The power of a universe’s stars is accommodated in the body of the Son of the Stars, endowing it with immortal life and great will.

  Effect: gain experience +1000%, all skill level caps +20,

  Effect: The general brain slots are adjusted to 20 slots.

  Effect: All attributes +20.

  Normal players’ innate attributes are between 5 and 20 points, and every 10 points is a threshold. That is to say, the 10-point attribute is stronger than the 9-point attribute. It may not be 10%, it may be 100%.

  Son of the Stars has a natural talent of +20 to all attributes, which instantly increases his inherent attributes by two orders of magnitude.

   Perception, including six senses, enhances personal response.

  Memory, no need to explain, understand everything.

  Mind refers to a series of mental states related to mentality, perseverance and willpower. Some people are afraid in the face of threats, while others face difficulties. This is the mental gap.

  Spirit can also be called intelligence, but it is not limited to intelligence. It refers to creative logical thinking ability and analytical ability. It is easier to learn various skills when the spirit is high.

  Charm is hard to explain in words. It is mainly related to social interaction and management. It does not mean that a person with high charm must be handsome and beautiful, but a handsome and beautiful person must have high charm.

  Incomparably powerful talent endows super high innate attributes, ten times the experience bonus, plus a universe in the palm of your hand, and a dog on a leash looks like a human being.

  Li Qing doesn't think he's too bad. With such an advantage in his hand, as long as he doesn't mess around, he will definitely be able to stand out.

Although it is no longer the era of Star Sea Survival, it is now also the era of great interstellar development and expansion. The alien civilizations that can survive are all equally powerful. Born in such an era, there are so many powerful opponents. Li Qing feels that Life is bound to be exciting in the future.

  The frigate is a standard Haiyan-class frigate, brand new, less than a year after leaving the factory, he checked the frigate's attributes for the first time.

  Frigate (Haiyan class): patrolling, escorting, reconnaissance, security, minelaying, support landing, and support for the Marine Corps to land on the planet.

Attributes:

  Basic hull: 1000

  Basic Armor: 1000

  Basic Shield: 1000

   Fleet slot size: 1.

  Guard core (default)

  Components: energy core, superluminal components, thrusters, detectors, combat computers.

  Weapon slot: S5, P1.

  General slot: S5, A1.

   The basic bare boat price of this thing is 20 million. It only has a simple chemical thruster, and does not have any weapons and general slot equipment. I want to spend my own money to buy it better.

  This one is family support, so it comes with all three-level weapons plus general slots, and three-level accessories.
