These pieces of junk Mules, roughly modified by the pirates and Zuo Jing themselves, might be worth only twenty to thirty million to them.
But for Chen Ming, he only needs to spend a few million on materials to repair it, and he could turn around and sell the ship for close to a hundred million.
Almost comparable to an ordinary Hamrhead.
Chen Ming had previously noticed that the prices of so spacecraft were quite absurd, such as the Mule.
He had checked so market prices of spacecraft before, and the price of a new Mule is generally above one hundred million, while a second-hand one is usually around seventy million.
And for a Mule Level equipped with military systems, even if it’s second-hand, just installing Guard Level military systems would still be worth around a hundred million.
Just like the one Chen Ming sold before.
And installing Destroyer Level military systems would make it even more expensive, even more costly than the Hamrhead Chen Ming had seen.
The reason is actually quite simple.
When Chen Ming checked the prices of various spacecraft before, he also checked the prices of civilian models of other combat ships.
Although there aren’t many combat ships with civilian models, just looking at these butchered versions made Chen Ming unable to bear it.
Take the Hamrhead, for example.
The military Hamrhead has four dium hardpoints, six small hardpoints, and four missile mounts, including two that can mount dium missiles.
Although the Hamrhead was designed for mass production and sacrificed a lot of performance, it still has the features a military Destroyer should have.
However, the butchered version of the Hamrhead has only two dium hardpoints, two small hardpoints, and one small missile mount.
The armor is almost cut in half, and the engine used is a butchered version of the Destroyer engine, which can even be comparable to a Guard Level engine.
No one would be foolish enough to buy this garbage.
But the Mule is different.
Although it is a civilian ship itself, the Mule is a Mule Level ard rchant ship.
All designs are based on Destroyer standards and also et certain combat requirents.
Although not as good as actual military combat ships, at least it doesn’t have as large a gap as between military combat ships and butchered civilian combat ships.
With a certain degree of transformation, the effect would definitely be much better than spending money on butchered combat ships.
The price of such a ship, which can be legally purchased, legally used, and relatively legally transford, naturally soars.
Therefore, the exaggerated price of Mule Level being higher than a Hamrhead is not because the Hamrhead is cheap, but because the Mule is too expensive.
No one dares to touch a normal military Hamrhead, but the cost-effectiveness of a butchered version of a civilian Hamrhead or other combat ships can be said to be a pile of junk.
Thus, the Mule Level naturally outshines them.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that the Mule is a normal Mule.
Not like those in the hands of pirates, modified crudely and unreliably to quickly convert into combat power, they can’t sell for much.
Because without Chen Ming’s ability, the repair costs might even be more expensive than the sale price.
Only with soone like Chen Ming, who has the ability to restore the Mule to its original state while preserving the militarized subsystems, does it have the value to acquire and repair them.
So now that two ships have been directly blown up, it’s all at Chen Ming’s own expense.
Of course, it’s painful.
When the ti cos to act, Chen Ming certainly won’t hold back.
Otherwise, if Gamma B and Gamma Z were lost, that would truly be painful for Chen Ming.
Of course, in a situation where a crushing dominance has nearly erged instantly, he will certainly choose a thod that can better preserve the spoils.
Chen Ming had Gamma Z delay the timing of releasing the Terminator Unmanned Fighters.
Let it keep a distance from the pirate and Zuo Jing’s fleet.
Until Chen Ming selects suitable targets again.
And Chen Ming’s new targets, naturally, start by looking for the cheapest few ships from the enemy fleet.
