Star Fleet: Age of Lords.

Chapter 1 Yunshan Empire
Yunshan Empire, Yunshan Military Academy.

"In the interstellar era, stargates are an important technology for every empire to survive. Through stargates, the empire's fleets can freely travel between galaxies and even star regions."

"The galaxy represents endless resources, so the more star gates a force controls, the greater the force is."

"Currently, the Yunshan Empire controls only five star gates, ranking third in the Federation."

In a large classroom full of technology, the projection of the teacher stands on the podium and talks eloquently.

Feng Mo, who was sitting in the last row, fell into deep thought.

As a time traveler who came to the interstellar era, with both parents dead, an only child, a family heir, and a down-and-out nobleman, he is definitely one of the best among all the time travelers.

As the saying goes, even a rotten ship still has three thousand nails. Even though the Feng family is a fallen noble, they still control three planets in the Xianyun Galaxy, which can bring them nearly one million Yunshan coins in income every year after deducting expenses.

After all, one of the three planets is a life planet. Not only does it not make money, but it also requires continuous investment. In addition, it has to maintain the fleet and the territory defense system, so there is really not much money left.

What's more, the tuition fee of Yunshan Military Academy is not cheap. Feng Mo's annual expenses are at least over 100,000. Yunshan Military Academy is the top military academy in the entire empire. Feng Mo is studying in Class 1 of the junior year of the academy's ace major, the Command Department.

Because he has no worries, and Feng Mo has had a great interest in starships since he was a child, and he has the standard plug-in for a time traveler.

During college, he studied on his own and passed the exam to become a junior starship engineer, with the authority to design and build starships.

Although the tuition fees of the Military Academy are expensive, in order to be admitted to this top academy, one must rank above the top 300 in the entire empire in terms of theoretical knowledge and genetic talent.

He will graduate successfully in one year. By then, he can form an interstellar fleet and go to the Chaos Star Sea to open up new land and find his parents who have been missing for more than ten years.

Currently, the major empires in the Federation strongly support the fleet's exploration of the universe, commonly known as pioneering, with generous rewards, and the most important thing is military merit!
If a natural planet with life is discovered, the discoverer can report it to the empire and receive 30% of the profit, or he can attack it on his own and receive 80% of the profit.

As for discovering resource planets, the rewards are even richer. If you report them to the empire for mining, you can get 50% of the profits, and if you mine them yourself, you can get 90% of the profits.

"Students, today's classes are over. This semester is almost over. We will have to do practical internships starting from our senior year."

"You may go to the front line to fight against interstellar orcs, interstellar insects and interstellar mechanical races, or you may go to the Chaos Star Sea to conduct interstellar exploration."

"You are all students of the Starship Command Department, so you all need to have a starship of your own before the next semester starts."

"There is no limit on the type and level of starships. Everyone can buy them on their own or exchange them with academy points."

"As for the captain and crew of the starship, they can be recruited from other departments in the academy, or purchased from the slave market, as long as it complies with the laws of the empire."

After the teacher finished his announcement, the projection disappeared.

The entire class went wild with this announcement, and everyone was discussing the starships they had prepared.

The Starfleet Command Department only recruits two classes of a hundred students a year. Those who can come here must be from wealthy or noble families. Of course, there are also a few ordinary outstanding students occasionally.

Currently, the highest level starship in the empire is T5, and most of the starships prepared by students' families are T2. Some nobles will prepare T3 for students in their clans.

Most of the starships that can be exchanged in the academy are T1 level, and occasionally there are T2 level, but most of these starships are old starships that have been in service for a hundred years. After being repaired and renovated by the starship maintenance department, they have been reborn, but the backwardness of the style and material cannot be changed.

"Alas, what a pity. I am just a bastard, and my clan only prepared a T2 star destroyer for me."

"A destroyer is fine, but I think a man should drive an interstellar battleship. A huge ship and huge guns are the romance of a man!"

"Hey, those nobles have good families, but I can't. I'm just a commoner. I can exchange a frigate from the academy to complete my studies, and then I can work in the fleet after graduation."

Listening to the discussions of the students around him, Feng Mo was also thinking about his first starship. As a man, who doesn't have a fantasy of traveling across the universe!
"Mo, have you decided which starship to buy? You have to prepare quickly. The holiday is almost here, and you still have to recruit people." Wang Chongsheng came up to Feng Mo and said.

"Lao Wang, how are your preparations going? Take it out and show it to your brothers!"

Wang Chongsheng raised his hand with a smile, revealing the smart terminal on his arm. A holographic projection projected a three-dimensional picture, which was a starship model with an ancient appearance.

"T3 Bald Eagle-class interstellar destroyer, market price million Yunshan coins!"

"My father ordered this destroyer for me. Even the captain and crew are ready. They are all veterans who have served in the military for more than 30 years!"

After Wang Chongsheng finished speaking, he hesitated and said again:

"Mo, I still have some money here. Why don't you increase the budget a little and just go for it in one go and get a T3 starship? I'll ask my dad to buy it for me and I can get a discount."

"It's okay. I already have an idea about the starship. Don't worry. You'll see it after the holiday!"

Feng Mo laughed.

Wang Chongsheng has a very good family background. His uncle is the boss in charge of the empire's interstellar trade, his father inherited the title of earl, and the entire family's influence ranks among the top ten in the Yunshan Empire.

So it was not surprising that Lao Wang was given a T3 starship worth more than million.

The two chatted as they followed their classmates to the college cafeteria.

On the way, Wang Chongsheng saw Feng Mo looking thoughtful and thought that he was still thinking about the starship.

In fact, Feng Mo's status and position are not low, but his parents died early. Feng Mo has now inherited the title of Viscount and also owns three planets in the Xianyun Galaxy.

This is the ancestral planet of the Feng Mo family. Feng Mo's title was inherited from his great-grandfather, who was once a fleet commander of the Yunshan Empire. He fought in countless battles in his life and won military honors. He was granted the title of earl by the empire and was granted a fiefdom.

Unfortunately, each generation was weaker than the previous one. By the time of Feng Mo's grandfather and father's generation, they had not performed any meritorious deeds to improve or consolidate their titles. As a result, when Feng Mo inherited the title, he was automatically downgraded to a viscount.

According to the laws of the Yunshan Empire, the duke is hereditary, and the four ranks of nobility, marquis, earl, viscount and baron, can only be passed down for three generations. After three generations, if there are not enough military merits, they will be demoted.

As for his family's territory, his parents made a last-ditch effort to gain military merit when he was eight years old. They sold a large number of resource planets and used the money to build a T3 fleet with T3 battleships as the main ships to explore the Chaos Star Sea.

Unfortunately, he didn't come back in the end.

"Feng Mo, come on, let's go sit over there."

After the two entered the cafeteria, Lao Wang put his arm around Feng Mo's shoulders and tried to get him to go to the other side, as if he was intentionally avoiding something.

"But he has already seen the person that Lao Wang didn't want Feng Mo to see."

Jiang Wei and Zhao Zhicheng!

These two people have never gotten along with Feng Mo and Wang Chongsheng, but on the surface they still maintain a "good brother" relationship.

It’s all because of the grudges between the four people’s grandfathers.

Wang Chongsheng rolled his eyes. It was such a rare opportunity. Why did he keep running into these two idiots everywhere he went?
