Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 16: Another Battle with the Jacobsons
In the end, Liu Wen still had to lend out the money, but it was only 300,000. The Lingtong Mine only had contribution points worth about one million. After replacing a set of mining equipment and refining equipment and improving the quality, the final profit was estimated to be 600,000 contribution points. This number was not low, but the mining time would take several years.

Bai Haitang joined the Xinghai team. The team name was casually chosen by Liu Wen. It didn’t matter what it was called anyway and it could be changed at any time. Free teams did not need to be registered.

The reason for accepting Bai Haitang is very simple. As the fleet gets bigger and bigger and the number of warships increases, Liu Wen and his companions are not professional in warship command. They have only purchased teaching materials online during this period of time. Therefore, they urgently need professional talents to join in order to enable the Star Sea Fleet to perform at its normal level.

The salary offered to Bai Haitang was not high, about the same as her usual income from killing bugs in the subspace battlefield, 2,400 contribution points a month, bonuses not included.

When Liu Wen brought Bai Haitang onto the Xinghai, Bai Haitang was completely stunned.

"Is this your battleship? A level 6 cruiser battleship?" Bai Haitang stared at Liu Wen in disbelief. You are so rich, are you still short of ten or twenty thousand contribution points?

Liu Wen smiled and said, "There's no need to be so surprised. I just happened to make a little fortune. You should first get familiar with the performance of the battleship. There will be something to do soon."

"What mission?" Bai Haitang asked casually as he looked at the internal equipment of the warship with shining eyes.

"It's like this. Before, I got some benefits from the Jacobsons in the 121 star field, and they were hostile to me. These aliens only remember to be beaten and not to be fed. I plan to teach them a lesson." Liu Wen briefly talked about the situation of the aliens in the 121 star field.

Bai Haitang blinked and said thoughtfully, "You want the psychic materials that people have worked so hard to dig, right?"

"This is easy. There is no difference between beating bugs and beating aliens, not to mention that they are just the native aliens of the Second World. Most of the native races are not taken seriously by the Interstellar Alliance."

Liu Wen said, "Let's go and choose a room to stay in. We will assign you a warship when we get there."

Naturally, he would not choose to let Bai Haitang drive the Xinghai. He planned to divide the spaceship into two parts, one level 6 battleship and ten alien level 5 escort-class battleships, which would be given to Bai Haitang to drive, and Frog and Jack would also go over to share the daily affairs.

By the way, let Jack learn well from Bai Haitang and improve his fleet command skills as soon as possible. It doesn't require him to be very good, but at least he has to meet the basic requirements to be able to command a fleet alone.

Liu Wen drove the battleship to the meteorite belt. The subspace dock he posted on the Interstellar Alliance sales platform had already spread. It not only attracted the attention of many teams in City 315, who wanted to sell everything they had to get it, but also many teams from the neighboring cities 314 and 316 also rushed over.

Many people wanted to contact Liu Wen through the sales platform, but were all rejected by the Interstellar Alliance. Liu Wen chose the auction model and did not intend to have any contact with these teams again.

He still remembers what happened to the Sirius Pirates.

After the three-day bounty period expired, Liu Wen simply changed it into a normal bounty. He would never feel at ease unless he killed the person who attacked him. Who knows when he will be targeted again?

This time when he came to City 315, Liu Wen also placed an order at the intelligence station to find out who had contact with the Sirius Pirates and leaked his information.

However, Liu Wen did not get any relevant information until he left again. However, Liu Wen was not in a hurry. The longer the time, the stronger he would become. After he had gained a firm foothold on Dream Star, he could formally establish a team and recruit some people to fill the fleet.

A few days later, the Xinghai arrived at the subspace coordinates and scanned the meteorite belt with radar. Almost a month had passed, and there was still no team coming to mine. It seemed that they were scared.

When Bai Haitang saw the subspace being opened, his eyes widened: "Is this our base?"

"No, it was just an accidental discovery. I will sell it for cash in a few months." Liu Wen explained with a smile: "This was originally a subspace of an alien civilization. There was a small dock here. I checked it and it is still usable. There are also supporting equipment for 20 level 5 frigate battleships, so I just produced it and used it."

"You are so lucky, aren't you?" Although Bai Haitang had heard a lot of news about an expedition team finding a subspace of an alien civilization, or going deep into an unfamiliar star field to find psychic energy veins and thus achieving success overnight, when such things happened in front of him, he felt mixed emotions.

"Why not build it into a team base? It's a subspace. You can attack or defend. With dozens of warships, you can even circle the entire meteorite belt as your territory." Bai Haitang persuaded Liu Wen to keep the subspace. It would be a pity to sell it.

"I don't plan to stay here for too long. Maybe in a few years I will leave the human territory and explore the outside world. This star cluster is located inside the human territory, and its geographical location is not suitable for me." Liu Wen explained.

"Explore outward? You want to register as a human pioneer?" Bai Haitang was very surprised. The loss rate of human pioneers is very high. In the second world, various forces and disasters emerge in an endless stream. No one knows what will happen in the next second.

"Yes." Liu Wen answered affirmatively: "With my current strength, it is definitely not possible, so I plan to accumulate for a few more years before making any decisions."

Bai Haitang hesitated. Although killing insects could be life-threatening, as long as he didn't go too deep into the subspace battlefield, his safety was actually quite guaranteed.

But it’s different to enter undeveloped star fields for exploration. Alien civilizations, dimensional creatures, void Zerg, void creatures, etc., it is really possible that you will never come back, and it will also affect the body of the main universe.

Fortunately, there are still a few years left, and if I don’t want to go by then, I can resign and leave.

After entering the subspace, Bai Haitang was arranged by Liu Wen to board another level 6 cruiser-class battleship. The name of the spaceship was changed to Haitang. Liu Wen and his companions had no objection to this. They named the spaceships very casually. Xinghai had already changed several spaceships.

A few days later, the first batch of five warships were sent out of the dock. Fat Blue had installed an intelligent computer in advance and controlled it through the Haitang network. Naturally, the highest authority belonged to Liu Wen, and Bai Haitang only had the second-level authority.

In order to verify the combat effectiveness of the alien spaceships, Liu Wen led the fleet to the 121 star field, ready to continue to cause trouble for the Jacobson tribe. The last time two warships chased him, they almost scared him to death.

It took less than an hour to reach the original entrance to the asteroid belt. After exploring for a while, they finally found a channel that could barely allow a level 6 cruiser battleship to pass through. This also made Liu Wen understand why those large human teams were not interested in this place.

It’s not that there are few mineral resources inside, but it’s not easy for large warships to enter, and there are alien fleets inside. Naturally, they gave up on this place because it was a thankless task.

After the eight spaceships passed through the asteroid belt, several small teams guarding the entrance area received early warnings from the detector at the same time. Several teams left early and gathered together to look at the warships in the projection.

Zhao Fei said to them with a smug look on his face: "See, I was right, right? The previous matter is not over yet. If we rush in to mine, we might be beaten by the aliens as helpers. We can wait until the dust settles before going in. They won't look down on those resource-poor places outside. What's ours is still ours."

Wang Xiaojing rolled her eyes. She didn't know who had been muttering about why there was no movement. Now that she saw two huge cruiser-class battleships coming out, she started to show off again.

"Should we share our detection intelligence with them?" Xiang Ming suggested. He just wanted these big teams to finish the battle quickly, regardless of winning or losing, so that he could go back to mining earlier.

"Hey! Here we go just as I said." Zhao Fei went offline to answer the call, which was from Liu Wen.

After seeing Liu Wen's projection, Zhao Fei was even happier. The two parties had cooperated very happily before. Although it delayed their mining time for more than a month, they could not mine much in a month. As long as they could hurt the aliens and prevent them from harassing them in mining, it would all be worth it.

"Captain Zhao, long time no see." Liu Wen greeted with a smile.

"Captain Liu, it's been more than a month since we last met, and you're already sailing on a level six battleship!" Zhao Fei looked surprised.

"I told you I can't hide it from them." Liu Wen said to Bai Haitang beside him.

"Captain Zhao, do you have any information about the Jacobson tribe in recent times?" Liu Wen asked directly.

"Yes, a few of us are just discussing gathering the information and sending it to you." Zhao Fei motioned for him to wait a moment.

When they learned that the team had indeed returned, they hurriedly sent the intelligence obtained by their detectors to Zhao Fei, and then Zhao Fei sent it to Liu Wen.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I'm deeply sorry that your industries have been affected because of us." Liu Wen transferred 10,000 contribution points to Zhao Fei. It's not right to take other people's intelligence for free. Giving a little will show sincerity. Maybe we need their help in the future. Zhao Fei looked embarrassed and promised to inform Liu Wen as soon as he got any intelligence about alien races.

The two sides communicated again about the actions of the alien races in recent times. The main reason was that the Jacobson tribe refused to give up. They had been sending warships to search for hostile warships everywhere for a month. The other alien races were doing what they should do.

After hanging up the call, the two checked the latest intelligence, which was not much different from the previous intelligence, except that some mining locations had changed. Only the Jacobson tribe not only expanded the mining base, but also sent dozens of warships to fly around.

According to the detectors sent by China Unicom before, several mining sites have not changed. However, after Liu Wen robbed the Jacobson mining site, these aliens chose to collect minerals once a month and would not leave too many minerals at the mining sites.

"It's not easy. There aren't many minerals here. We'll get very little if we rob them. I'm afraid we won't even be able to make back the money for fuel!" Liu Wen frowned as he looked at the detection data.

Bai Haitang said casually: "There is nothing to gain from the mining site, so why not intercept their transport ships? They collect ore once a month, so the transport ships won't only go to one mining site at a time, right?"

Liu Wen's eyes lit up. Indeed, that was true, but he still needed to make a plan. At least he had to conceal the traces of the fleet. Otherwise, let alone robbing the transport ship, he might be surrounded and beaten by aliens.

After looking at the star map and pondering, Liu Wen drew a route along the asteroid belt, bypassing the other two alien spheres of influence.

The fleet used optical stealth and carefully concealed its bodies all the way, going to remote places. It took almost four or five days to reach the sphere of influence of the Jacobson tribe.

According to the information detected by the probe, there is no regular pattern in the routes taken by the transport spacecraft of the Jacobson tribe.

Therefore, in order to catch the opponent steadily, Liu Wen chose to hide in an asteroid belt near a mining site. As long as the transport spacecraft of the Jacobson tribe came to the mining site to collect the ore, no matter how much it collected, it would be robbed.

After hiding for nearly twenty days, they finally waited until the time for the Jacobsons to collect the mines. Through Zhao Fei and his team's detectors, they obtained the approximate whereabouts of the Jacobsons' transport ships.

"Two level five escort-class battleships are accompanying for protection. Is that so cautious?" Seeing the detector showing two battleships escorting each other, Liu Wen just smiled.

Bai Haitang has been cultivating her spiritual power in the battleship's training room for a while now, and her progress is pretty good. She will soon reach level two.

Liu Wen's psychic power cultivation was also quite fast. Since he had plenty of money, he had chosen all the good conditions for cultivation, including various auxiliary equipment, psychic food, etc. Whether in the second world or the main universe, his psychic power had been successfully activated and was steadily improving.

The blue fat man also activated his psychic powers during this period, and his progress was not much slower than Liu Wen.

Only the other four started practicing later and their progress was slow. They have only now activated the spiritual energy of the second world. They are still in the training stage in the main universe and have not been able to complete the practice method in one go.

A few days later, a medium-sized transport ship more than 800 meters long, escorted by two warships, jumped into the void near the mining site. After scanning the surrounding area with radar, the transport ship approached the mining site.

The tractor beam is released to pull the minerals not stored at the mining site into the warehouse for storage.

Bai Haitang then suggested to Liu Wen that he should only dispatch a few alien warships, and keep the cruiser-class battleships in place for the time being.

Liu Wen agreed without thinking, because he had originally thought so. They were both alien warships and were located in the same star field. Perhaps the civilization that designed the spacecraft still had some remnants inside.

An hour later, the transport ship had almost collected all the minerals from the mining site. The five alien warships then activated space interference, interception force fields, deceleration force fields, etc., and jumped from the asteroid belts on both sides to the void outside the mining site. Various force fields trapped the three spaceships in place, unable to move.

After the five warships had faced a round of counterattacks, they launched a simultaneous salvo under the control of Bai Haitang, easily penetrating the two Jacobson warships that could not even speed up and were equivalent to living targets.

The two warships were blown up on the spot. After the transport ship's shield was broken, its propulsion engine was destroyed. Bai Haitang launched another round of attacks on the transport ship's living area and cockpit, making sure to completely destroy it.

As for the mining site, Liu Wen and the other man ignored it. They towed the transport ship out of the range of the mining site's counterattack fire, entered the asteroid belt, transferred the cargo to their own transport ship, and then blew up the spaceship. Only then did the six spaceships jump away in a swagger.

Two cruiser-class battleships followed quietly behind, waiting for the Jacobsons to take the bait.

Bai Haitang was concentrating on controlling several warships, while Liu Wen was counting the gains from this robbery.

"Robbery target: the Jacobson tribe
Number of robberies: Three
The harvest from the robbery: 135 cubic meters of high-level black gold ore, 34,700 cubic meters of intermediate-level spiritual ore, and 691,326 cubic meters of primary spiritual ore. "

"Rewards to be distributed: Small ore planet coordinates..."

"This coordinate doesn't seem far from the last location?" Liu Wen looked at the coordinates sent by the golden finger and felt familiar. He took out the coordinates given last time and saw that the distance between the two sides was less than 150,000 kilometers.

"High-grade black gold ore is a good thing. It is one of the high-energy alloy raw materials needed to build jump equipment. I remember that each cubic meter of 99% purity is about 50 contribution points."

After connecting to the Interstellar Alliance network and calculating the price, the total value contribution points are around 1.3 million.

Hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of minerals only have 1.3 million contribution points. This number makes Liu Wen a little unhappy. Previously, the minerals accumulated in one mining site had one million contribution points. Now, the value of these several mining sites combined is only one million. The value has shrunk too seriously.

The looted minerals are worth about one million, so the asteroid coordinates given by the golden finger are estimated to be worth about 130 million. If we just drag it away and sell it, we can at least get more than 90 million contribution points in cash, which is one step closer to the goal of having a level 6 fleet.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Wen's face. Hundreds of detectors were dropped this time. Although it takes time to move into place and they are easily smashed by asteroids on the way, the intelligence they can obtain next time will be richer.

The six spaceships jumped for a distance, then drove normally for a distance, and continued to approach the asteroid belt. Three hours later, the Jacobson warships finally appeared in the radar scanning range.

"Two level five destroyer-class battleships and four level five frigate-class battleships have been divided into two fleets and are preparing to encircle the enemy."

Bai Haitang's expression relaxed a lot after seeing the warships of the Jacobson tribe. His side had two level 6 cruiser-class battleships. Even though he had graduated for several years and had already returned a lot of knowledge to his teacher, he could not lose by relying on his strength to bully the weak, and it would be no problem for him to retreat safely with the fleet.

Seeing the six spaceships surrounded by the Jacobson warships, space interference prevented the jump, the interception force field and the deceleration force field enveloped and repelled each other, and both sides began to open fire at a distance of several light seconds.

Photon cannons, particle cannons and energy cannons interspersed with each other. The battleship was not hit, but the asteroids and meteorites along the way were smashed to pieces first.

When the warships of both sides were entangled with each other, Bai Haitang and Liu Wen rushed out in a level 6 battleship each. As the battleships approached the other side at high speed, the energy shield was activated and the energy cannons on the ship fired indiscriminately. Light blue energy beams swept across the void, and countless asteroids and meteorites were vaporized and destroyed by the energy beams.

The Jacobson warships, which had been sure of victory, were shocked when they saw two level 6 cruiser-class warships suddenly appear. They did not bother to fight with the pirate warships anymore and turned around to prepare to evacuate.

Liu Wen would never let the enemy escape so easily. Each of them chose a direction and dozens of energy cannons fired freely. In the absence of gunners to lead the firepower, they could only rely on the battleship's fire control system to carry out a covering strike.

Under the powerful firepower and the huge amount of firepower coverage, the shields of the two frigate-class battleships were blown up in a few rounds. Several alien battleships that were originally surrounded also chased after them and opened fire, destroying their propulsion engines.

A few gamma rays destroyed all the equipment inside the battleship, and two empty shells were captured easily.
