Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

[Additional effect: All ships in the fleet gain +24% speed (effective before T6)]

"Not bad, not bad." Qingyang couldn't stop smiling.

None of the other three Star Weapons made him this happy, after all, the effect of this Star Weapon was too direct and impactful.

Qingyang put away the panel, his heart surging with emotion.

"Then, let's prepare to build the first Blazing Star battleship!"

Chapter 23 Blazing Battleship

The first Blazing Star battleship was built and immediately headed to the frontier!

Qingyang's plan is very clear.

The border region is extremely far from Qingyang's current area, and it would take about a year to reach it.

This includes the time required for space equipment such as the stargate!

Without stargates and star ring channels, even an eternal fleet capable of dark space jumps would take hundreds of years to reach its destination.

"We will earn star points while sailing to expand our fleet, and with the exploration of dimensional worlds, it will take even longer, and we will need to prepare a lot of supplies."

Qingyang became increasingly excited and immediately purchased a batch of warship building resources, arranging for them to be built at the nearest starport.

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

Gu Xue pointed to the excited Qingyang not far away and said to Gu Xing with a smug look on her face.

"..."

A day had passed by the time the Eternal Fleet arrived at the designated starport.

The supplies purchased by StarNet have already arrived. In addition, Qingyang has recruited dozens of warship commanders and related crew members.

In many cases, warships need to carry out combat missions separately, which can be achieved by simply delegating the lower-level command authority of the starship to its subordinates.

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

The Star Commander is the core and foundation of the Star Fleet. They do not necessarily have to be a frontline commander; they only need to control the overall direction.

After arranging the crew, Qingyang couldn't wait to look at the special resources that filled the entire warehouse.

The purchase of these resources cost 70,000 star points, just enough to build one Blazing Star battleship and one Steadfast Blade cruiser.

The remaining 40,000-plus star points are Qingyang's reserved bottom line.

Datafication also requires energy, and only star points that are also data energy sources can provide energy for the star fleet.

Whether it's naval guns, navigation, or shields, all require star points to operate.

This is the fundamental reason why Star Points can serve as the commander's hard currency!

Forty thousand star points are enough for the current Eternal Fleet to maintain high-intensity combat for a long time without any additional resources.

Qingyang walked into the warehouse alone and then took out the master blueprints of the Chichen warship and the blueprints of the Jianren cruiser.

Once the creation was confirmed, the two cards quickly floated into the air, and two blue warship phantoms rapidly emerged from the center of the cards.

The surrounding starship 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, "Luckily, the rented warehouse is big enough."

A massive mental wave swept across the warehouse, confirming there were no surprises. Qingyang found a recliner, lay down, and sent his consciousness into the Star Network to study theoretical knowledge at the Demon Sea Academy.

The construction of the two warships will take about three or four days.

The manufacturing process of a starship is actually far more complex than that of a conventional warship; it just seems simple because the entire process is handled by blueprints.

A commercial center market in Xinggang.

Gu Xing walked down the street expressionless, looking every bit the aloof and handsome man, provided he wasn't carrying those few items.

"Brother! This, this!"

"Aren't any of the things in your house more valuable than these?"

"Oh dear, it may be precious, but that's too understated. This is far too exaggerated."

Gu Xue held a meter-long crystal sword ornament and waved it around.

Gu Xing smiled helplessly, then his peripheral vision caught sight of a large hall.

Starfleet crew talent market.

Unlike the recruitment halls in the StarNet, these talent markets scattered throughout various starports are specifically designed for civilian commanders.

The crew members have only a little practical experience, but they are cheap to recruit, so they are barely usable in the early game.

For some reason, as Gu Xing gazed at the entrance to the job market, a sudden impulse arose within him.

I subconsciously changed direction and stepped inside.

Gu Xue noticed this scene and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother?"

This is a place my brother wouldn't normally even glance at, so why is he suddenly... today?

! ! ! !

Remembering her older brother's second talent, Gu Xue immediately put down the jewelry she was holding and followed him inside.

Ignoring the enthusiastic crowds around him, Gu Xing followed his intuition and wandered through various turns to a corner of the market.

Gu Xue behind him remained silent, her gaze sweeping intently over the crowd around her older brother.

The two, dressed in unusual clothes and behaving strangely, attracted the attention of many people, who followed them out of curiosity.

Gu Xing stopped in front of two simply dressed figures.

A man and a woman, both with youthful appearances, seemed to be a brother and sister.

The deep gazes made the two people in front of him nervous, and as their aura gradually dissipated, the onlookers around them were startled.

Such immense individual power, and so young!

Finally, Gu Xing calmly asked, "Name, age, planet of birth, and whether you possess any talents?"

The slightly more mature-looking boy stepped forward: "My name is Valen Selvat, this is my sister Mia, we're both 19, we have no special talents, and we were born on a planet..."

Originally, they were a declining branch of a powerful, elite British family. Ultimately, the entire family was driven from the family territory and now lives on an ordinary planet.

Gu Xue's expression was strange, like something out of a biography.

Gu Xing was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Do you want a job? The prerequisite is that you can be approved by our commander."

The two were taken aback. These two extraordinary-looking young men were crew members of the Star Fleet?

That must be a powerful fleet!

“We can give it a try!” Valen said without hesitation.

Gu Xing nodded, and the group immediately left the job market.

a few days later.

Qingyang disconnected from the StarNet, his eyes somewhat vacant.

He 'died' more than thirty or forty times in the past few days, mostly in the event of warship explosions.

On several other occasions, they were forcibly jumped into the control room by strange creatures and killed.

"Hiss, the pain doesn't seem to be getting any less?" It took Qingyang quite a while to recover.

It's numb and dead.

The starship has been completed.

Two cards floated in front of Qingyang.

Remembering that there were still two starships left, Qingyang quickly looked up, his gaze passing over the Blade Cruiser and fixed on another starship that was obviously a size larger.

[T8 Starship Battleship] [Model: Blazing Star]

[Length: 3500m] [Average Height and Width: 700m]

[Shield: Sun Ring Type 1 Shield - 2.5w, Recovery Speed: 200/s]

(Single loss of less than 0.5% of immunity)

[Weapon: Blazing Main Cannon - Standard Type x1, Penetrating Type x1 (Special, 8k Energy Level Damage)]

Blazing Secondary Cannons – Standard Type x4, Penetrating Type x4 (1.5k Energy Level)

Particle naval guns – 40 standard models, 20 twin-barreled rapid-fire models

[Dense Defense System - ×1, Skyfire Space Suppression System ×1]

[Model Enhancement: Shield, weapon energy increased by 150% (calculated)]

Secondary guns that are almost identical to the main guns of ordinary starship battleships?!

Two 8k-class main cannons, and one penetrating main cannon?!

The main gun of the Shining Moon type is only 5k energy level, and the secondary guns are far less than 1,000 energy level.

Is this the power of the mother ship?

It can easily take on two Crescent Moon-class ships, and in some battles, even three Crescent Moon-class ships are no match for one Blazing Star-class ship!

I wonder how strong the original version of the Moonlit Type is?

Shaking his head to banish the complex thoughts from his mind, he figured the prototype of the Moonlit type was probably already at T5 or even T4 level.

"The Blazing Star type is the strongest T8 battleship!" Qingyang boasted proudly.

The unique and powerful starship makes anyone feel elated.

After successfully digitizing the two starships, Qingyang entered the control room, looking around at the environment, which was no less impressive than that of the Radiant Moon type, and became increasingly satisfied.

The environment is also top-notch!

[Self-check complete. Have you left this enclosed environment?]

"Leave immediately!"
