Chapter 251: Star Domain Market
The fleet set sail again, and after several dozen minutes, slowly arrived in front of a building that also had a Galactic Alliance emblem suspended above it.
“Chairman, according to Galactic Alliance regulations, all ships equipped with firepower configurations are not allowed to dock at the starfield market’s dock ports.”
As soon as Xu Hongwei finished speaking from the side, a warning sounded in the fleet’s public channel.
“Please note, Peace Messenger fleet, your 10 cruisers are equipped with firepower configurations, prohibited from docking at our dock.”
Fan Ren nodded, was slightly surprised, but didn’t find it too strange, and immediately ordered the Young Dragon to stop on the periphery and wait.
In the several hours he had spent in this star domain, he had vaguely sensed that although the environment here was strictly regulated, it was precisely because of these harsh regulations that a relatively safe environment was created for various civilizations to handle affairs with peace of mind.
“Although the starfield market requires a real-name central bank account, according to their announcement, all transaction activities enjoy absolute information protection.”
Xu Hongwei said softly to Fan Ren from the side, and Fan Ren knew this was a reminder that he could safely use the several hundred thousand star coins under the Fox Pirate Group’s account.
During the spaceship’s approach this time, from entering the dock until docking at the port, there were no further warnings.
Fan Ren glanced at the Fox, slightly raised his chin, and then took the lead in stepping off the spaceship under the Fox’s appearance of drooping its ears.
Behind him, Xu Hongwei and several Ministry of Economy and Trade accompanying personnel hurriedly followed. As an important department of human civilization, they were a department that must participate in this activity.
The personnel dispatched for this were all department officials with very solid theoretical foundations.
The Fox also stepped off the spaceship with somewhat reluctant steps under Dan Wu’s push.
Externally, this was different from the public landing ports of the previous departments.
After the spaceship docked here, a tightly sealed landing passage would extend to the spaceship’s cabin door.
Fan Ren’s footsteps paused slightly; he had never expected that the starfield market would handle confidentiality so thoroughly on the surface for all clients.
“Chairman, not only that. According to the information I have, each passage here corresponds to a private trading room, and throughout the entire process, there will be no contact with any outsiders. All order placement and transaction processes are strictly confidential, with contact only with the liaison officials from the five great super civilizations.”
Xu Hongwei gave an explanation, and the Ministry of Trade staff on the side couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous upon hearing this.
Their department’s committee member hadn’t come, so they hadn’t truly started engaging with Galactic Alliance-related affairs yet.
As a result, all the information provided to the Chairman so far had come from the Foreign Affairs Department, which was completely unrelated to economy and trade.
Fan Ren nodded to indicate he understood, then no longer lingered and led the team into the passage.
The handiwork of the five great super civilizations was naturally not stingy. Like all official Galactic Alliance institutions, this place was equipped with an extremely expensive anti-gravity system.
And this kind of system, aside from experiencing it on the Conqueror, Fan Ren had only seen it equipped on the Hans Civilization’s small aircraft carrier.
According to Mai Er’s explanation, flagships must be equipped with gravity systems due to their massive size; otherwise, based on the concept of general relativity’s universal gravitation, in the space vacuum environment, the gravitational pull of large ships themselves would cause abnormal gravity in the surrounding environment.
In severe cases, it could even lead to ammunition trajectory deviations and errors in escort ships’ trajectories.
This was also why he and the Fox had repeatedly emphasized when discussing flagships that not only did they require an enormous quantity of silver-like super metal, but after completion, the various levels of systems they needed to load were also an extremely expensive fee.
The group proceeded forward and soon entered an independent room directly along the passage.
The lighting here was dimly yellow, invisibly bringing a sense of security to everyone.
Fan Ren surveyed the setup here: a huge central holographic simulation platform, surrounded by a circle of size-adaptive chairs.
At the same time, in front of the chairs on the simulation platform, there were control panels, which should be used to individually browse various products for sale in the starfield market.
Besides these, there was basically no other setup here.
Afterward, he took the lead and sat down at one of the positions on the platform.
At the side, the Fox no longer showed any resistance and sat down beside Fan Ren with drooping ears, while Dan Wu silently stood directly behind him, gaze fixed on the back of his head.
‘Biometric recognition in progress, recognition passed. You are from human civilization, the owner of your civilization’s main account, with no other accounts under your name currently. Please select account to use.’
A line of Galactic Alliance font appeared on the panel in front of Fan Ren, and after recognition, it thoughtfully switched to human civilization’s font.
In addition, below this, there was an option for anonymous browsing. Clearly, even without an account, one could browse the starfield market’s products here.
He didn’t hesitate and reached out to open human civilization’s main account.
Pathetically, the account showed a balance of zero.
Seeing this, Fan Ren chuckled wryly, then turned his gaze to the Fox’s panel on the side.
Balance: 720,000 star coins.
The Fox looked back at him, lips trembling slightly.
These were all the savings he had accumulated bit by bit over hundreds of years.
And now, they had all become someone else’s property after defeat.
Fan Ren smiled but said nothing. He then turned his gaze back to the panel in front of him.
The next page entered the market category classification options.
Among them, at the very top of the categories, the ship category option was extremely prominent.
Fan Ren nodded. In the starfield market, aside from transactions of minerals and other basic materials, the ship option might not be noticed by many civilizations, but it was absolutely the most important part.
He reached out and clicked on this category option.
As expected, the content was just as he anticipated.
At the bottom of a series of subcategories for various warship levels, the flagship option was prominently displayed.
He knew that even the Hans Civilization’s small flagship had purchased its hull from the starfield market.
Fan Ren continued to click, and another row of options appeared before his eyes.
Small aircraft carrier, dreadnought, cargo ship, strategic cargo ship, combat support ship, flagship-level industrial ship.
As well as the two most eye-catching options at the very bottom.
Super aircraft carrier, Titan!
Fan Ren’s gaze fell on the numerous warship options, waves immediately rising in his heart.
Under the influence of the five great super civilizations, the Galactic Alliance’s super large flagship category included not only various combat-type ships but also industrial-use ships.
Cargo ship, strategic cargo ship, and that so-called industrial flagship were undoubtedly products for massive space operations in terms of size.
