"Intercepting the ship?" Botten shook his head, "I have never heard of it. Is it a large warship?"

Xia Fei was slightly disappointed, "No, it is about the same size as a frigate, but it has a cruise speed of 14,000 meters per second. I guess this speed is not its limit. If you have all your strength, you should be able to exceed 20,000 in seconds."

"Oh my God!" Botten grew his mouth. Obviously, the speed of 20,000 meters per second made him feel very incredible. "Before the invention of the jump engine, there was an ultra-high power proton injection engine. Installing this engine could give warships a very fast speed, but this engine itself is not very stable, consumes high fuel and is very troublesome to maintain. No one has used it now."

Xia Fei recalled carefully, then shook his head, "According to my observation, the ship was not using a proton engine. Forget it, since I can't figure it out, let it go."

The two left the office and came to the factory courtyard. More than 20 warships were parked in the yard. In addition to the factory and equipment, the total value should exceed one billion star coins. The gifts left by Old Porter to his four apprentices were still quite important.

The blood-coagulation-class frigate was parked quietly in the center of the yard, without any sign of dew. Only in the battle will this top-class mixed-blood frigate show its edge.

"Xia Fei, why did you change it to this ship? Where is the master's naval version of the little eagle?" Boteng asked with a frown.

Xia Fei briefly explained his experience in the wilderness star field to Boteng. Boteng sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, since I went to the factory as an apprentice thirteen years ago, the naval version of the eagle has been docking in the corner, and the master will wipe it from time to time."

"There is no way. Since you lost it for the sake of escaping, I think even if the master knows, he won't blame me." Boteng expressed his understanding of Xia Fei. After all, under the circumstances at that time, that was already the greatest effort that Xia Fei could make. If anyone else had no choice, he would not be able to bring the Lunar Eclipse out of the wilderness star field.

Boteng and Xia Fei walked into the interior of the Vampire. Boteng looked at the messed-up cabin made by Xia Fei and said, "It seems that you must have encountered a lot of trouble at that time, otherwise you would never have equipped the warship in this way and drove it out."

Xia Fei nodded slightly, "There was no time at that time, so I had to live first."

"What are the characteristics of this blood-coagulation-class frigate?" Botten asked.

Xia Fei told the characteristics and origin of this ship. The more Botten listened, the more surprised he became. When he heard the energy plundering system, Botten's eyes almost fell off.

"A frigate that can install an energy plunder system! Oh my God, no wonder you chose this ship instead of the lunar eclipse. This function is simply incredible. If it were the case, I would be the same as you." Boteng swallowed and said.

"How do you plan to modify the Vampire?"

"Like the lunar eclipse, the residential area is reduced by two-thirds and all used to install combat equipment. In addition, I also want to install a second energy plundering system." Xia Fei said.

Long before arriving at the battleship cemetery, Xia Fei had already had an idea of ​​the modification of the Vampire. The biggest advantage of the Vampire is that it can install an energy plunderer. Xia Fei intends to use this characteristic to the extreme.

Once the second energy plundering system is installed successfully, the Vampire will have double the energy absorption speed. That is to say, a hostile battleship originally took five minutes to make it lose energy. If the double plundering system is used, it only takes half of the time, and it can also deal with two targets at the same time, maximizing the combat effectiveness.

"Dual plundering system is indeed a good idea. I think you can also install a dual energy protection cover charging system. Once the energy plundering device works, the Vampire will have sufficient energy to start two sets of protective cover supplement devices at the same time, which will greatly increase the defense performance." Botten said after thinking for a while.

Xia Fei smiled and patted Botten on the shoulder, "Sure enough, you know me. Let's go to the hell of those comfort equipment. As long as you have strong combat power, I'm willing to sleep in the command room every day."

Once the modification plan is determined, it will be implemented immediately.

That afternoon, Old Porter's factory began to become busy.

Xia Fei had worked in this factory before, so he was very familiar with the workers and had a very good relationship with each other. These workers offered to stay in the factory for overtime during this period and assemble the vampire number as soon as possible.

Xia Fei did not refuse their kindness and secretly contacted Sonny to provide everyone with the best logistics guarantee. He did not say that he had a rich diet every day, and he would never repeat it.

The assembly progress was very fast, and all the unused equipment of the Vampire Number were disassembled in just one night.

The luxurious marble bathtubs, soft mattresses, all-metal kitchen equipment, etc. were given directly to these workers by Xia Fei. The workers were of course very happy. They were not willing to sleep on the floor in order to get the maximum performance like Xia Fei.

The energy system has a storage battery installed, which can save as much energy as possible from the opponent's warships and avoid wasting.

The transition stutter breaker and traction control mechanism were redeployed, and the four enhanced beam laser cannons were replaced with dual models. In this way, each laser cannon will emit two laser beams, increasing the firepower by 60%. As for the more energy consumed, Xia Fei was not worried. The energy plunderer can use the energy on the other side's ship for itself, enough for these devices to operate at the same time.

There is also a dual cl5 energy shield replenishment system, which can continuously repair the protective cover and increase its defense by at least 30%.

Since Xia Fei brought back part of the original equipment on the Moon Eclipse on his return trip, most of the accessories are no longer needed to be purchased. Besides, the Vampire itself is a brand new battleship, and there are not many accessories that need to be replaced, so the modification work progresses quickly this time.

I still encountered some difficulties when installing the second set of energy plundering equipment. Originally, that set of energy plundering was produced by Sasha, a top-level accessories manufacturer, and its performance was very good. However, this top-level accessories are difficult to buy on the market. Xia Fei had no choice but to choose an ordinary energy plundering device, which is probably the only flaw of the Vampire.

At the same time, the eight Itron-class industrial ships ordered by Xia Fei were also sent from other places in the warship cemetery. These industrial ships have not been repaired yet and look a little dilapidated. By the day the Vampire is completed, these industrial ships will immediately enter the workshop for renovation.

Xia Fei also selected two frigates from the old Porter factory to serve as escort for the transport fleet, one Mittal Rift Class and one Gadari Kestral Class.

The Rift Class is fast and good at tracking, and the Kesha-class has strong firepower and can provide continuous high firepower output. The two frigates have their own characteristics. When combined, they have both mobility and sufficient attack ability. This is a good choice.

The eight Itron-class industrial ships cost Xia Fei 93 million star coins, the price of the Rift Class is 28 million star coins, and the Tea Falcon Class reaches 35 million star coins.

All ships of this fleet alone cost 156 million star coins. This still does not include maintenance costs. Xia Fei estimated that it would take at least 200 million star coins to form this fleet. You should know that these ships were sold to Xia Fei at the cost price, and they could not even make a penny.

In fact, the safety of navigation in the alliance is quite high, and things like pirate robbery will not happen often. Xia Fei insisted on buying two frigates because of other considerations.

Once this fleet is successfully formed, it will be the first space fleet in the Earth Federation, which can greatly improve the prestige of Quantum in the Federation. You must know that the entire Federation currently does not even have a warship, but Quantum can form its own fleet, which will greatly shock the citizens of the Federation.

Doing business is also an art. The higher the reputation, the more business partners and profits it will win. This is just like opening a store requires decoration. Face is always a key point that businessmen cannot ignore.

Besides, their fleet has to sail to those high-level planets. If the aliens discovered that Quantum fleet did not even have escort warships, what would they think? Who would be willing to do business with a company without strength?

Since you are determined to form your own fleet, you must make it look good. Some money can be saved, but some money must not be saved.

With the 200 million yuan of formation of the fleet plus the 200 million yuan of working capital given to the company and the cost of modifying the Vampire, Xia Fei's account balance continued to decline like a roller coaster, which made him sigh that it was so easy to spend money.

Fortunately, Botten was unwilling to sell all the tools that Potter left him. After all, he had been using these tools for many years and felt a little reluctant to let them go, so he planned to bring all the tools and repair equipment in the factory while going to the earth, which would reduce the cost of purchasing repair equipment.

About ten days later, the newly renovated Vampire was finally pushed out of the repair workshop, and all the renovation work was finally completed.

"Xia Fei, this ship looks really low-key and doesn't look like a top-class special frigate at all." Botten said.

"Yes." Xia Fei smiled slightly and said, "You can live longer by being low-key. It is actually not a good thing to show off your strength. The remaining industrial ships and frigates will be handed over to you. I will set off tonight and return to Tianjue Training Camp."

Botten nodded, "Don't worry, when all the work is completed, I will send this fleet to the earth safely, but I will also have to deal with the factory left by my master, which may take longer."

After saying that, Boteng turned around and was reluctant to look at the dilapidated factory and the warships he and his master repaired in the yard. For a moment, he felt a little dazed.

Xia Fei clicked on a Red Tower Mountain, "No hurry. It is not easy for Uncle Port to build this factory. Even if it is to be sold, it should be handled properly. Find a reputable buyer for it and don't lose the reputation of Uncle Port."

"Well, I will definitely find a trustworthy buyer for it." Botten said firmly, "By the way, Sonny secretly told me that he wanted to follow you to the earth. This young man is a little bit naughty, but his essence is not bad. Besides, he has some experience in driving and repairing warships, so it is enough to be a stop for me."

Xia Fei frowned, "I often see him these days, why don't he tell me personally?"

Botten smiled and said, "Sonny doesn't look like he looks hippie and smiling on weekdays, but he is most afraid of his mother. Sonny's mother told him not to trouble you, so he had to come around and beg me."

Xia Fei thought about it and said that Sonny was quite clever, but he was not calm enough. As long as he did not put it in a too critical position, he could also help the company.

"Okay, promise him. In addition, take Sunny's mother and his younger brother Nemo to the earth. You are all locals from the Battleship Cemetery. If Sunny's family goes, you can also be a companion for your sister-in-law and niece."

Xia Fei was determined to take Boteng as his own, so he thought about everything for him. Money like this kind of emotional man is useless and needs to be impressed spiritually. Once Boteng treats Xia Fei as his own person, he will help Xia Fei at all costs.

"Yeah." Boteng looked at Xia Fei with some emotion, "Thank you for your thoughtful thoughts on our family. Let's go, brothers have to wait there. After drinking this work-ending wine, you should hurry back to the training camp. It is not easy to enter the Tianjue Training Camp, you should cherish it."

"If the master finds you..."

Xia Fei patted his shoulder heavily, "Just be calm, Uncle Porter just needs to find me, I will be the first to notify you."

.

The Vampire slowly landed at the airport outside Herk Otter City.

Xia Fei rushed to the Tianjue Training Camp without stopping. The time was displayed at around 9 a.m. It was when the day's work began. Xia Fei did not return to the dormitory but went directly to the library to report.

It was already the winter of Herk. From a distance, I saw the white library once again surrounded by garbage, surrounded by leaves, paper, and thick snow. During the period when Xia Fei was away, the library became as dirty and messy as before.

The library management heating was on very well, and Qin Mang started to doze in his big black cat early in the morning.

Xia Fei took out the tea that Qin Mang wanted from the ring and gently placed it on the table. Longjing was hard to find a fortune in front of the rain. Andrei helped Xia Fei search for it for a long time and only bought twelve kilograms. So Xia Fei brought some other good teas such as Dahongpao and Biluochun for Qin Mang.

After brewing a pot of tea and putting it on the table without a sound, Xia Fei immediately began to quickly clean the dust in the library.

Qin Mang quietly opened his eyes, stroked the fat and lazy big black cat in his arms with his right hand, and quietly watched Xia Fei's busyness in the library without saying a word.

Xia Fei looked up and saw that Qin Mang had woken up. He hurriedly walked over with a smile and poured a cup of tea for Qin Mang, "Old man, this is the specialty of my hometown, Dahongpao. Although it is not as fragrant as Longjing in front of the rain, it also has its own uniqueness. You can try it."

Qin Mang took the teacup and sipped it gently. After savoring it for a while, he said to himself: "The fragrance is mellow and rich, and it is also a good tea."

Putting down the teacup, Qin Mang took out two old-looking keys from his arms, "These are keys to those two basements. Put them away. From now on, you will clean the basement together when you clean it."

Xia Fei was slightly stunned and took the key from Qin Mang's hand. You must know that Qin Mang never let Xia Fei go in the two mysterious basements. Now he actually handed the key to himself. What does this mean?
Chapter completed!
