Chapter 32 A blessing in disguise
There was a wailing in the asteroid belt. The Blue River Empire's military fleet had no guilt at all towards the alien race, let alone saving them. They didn't take advantage of the situation and just cleaned up the place because they were too lazy to waste the time.

Liu Wen felt helpless as he looked at the asteroid belt whose environment had changed drastically. He had not yet earned any money, and he had to spend money on disaster relief first.

When the command ship arrived at the nearest jump point, several transport ships that had escaped here first had been waiting for a long time.

"It seems that the captains of these transport ships have learned the essence. The first thing they do when encountering a mutation is to run away. They run faster than us!" The blue fat man contacted several transport ships with a smile and said jokingly.

Jack was also very satisfied with the reaction speed of these transport ships. As transport ships with no defensive capabilities, if they wanted to survive in the interstellar space, they had to run away.

"First, make a count of what relief supplies are needed, and purchase and ship them over as quickly as possible. After all, they are a vassal race, and we can't just ignore them." Liu Wen urged them to take action.

The only rescue equipment common to aliens and humans are temporary isolation shields, air generators, gravity equipment, temperature regulators and other living space development equipment. Food and other equipment are mostly universal. At least the difference in the elemental composition of food is not too big, so they can be used by adjusting the ratio of elements.

After buying the things, several spaceships hurried back to the asteroid belt. Shirley moved with the transport ship to inspect the specific situation of the vassal race. Liu Wen wandered around the asteroid belt, trying to find useful information from the battlefield ruins.

"Boss, according to the feedback from the detectors we set up, they appeared at this location." Jack checked for a long time and finally found the place where the other party first appeared.

"Detect the frequency of space fluctuations. Fat Blue, please pay attention to the energy fluctuations." Liu Wen himself was also operating the scanning radar to detect the situation in this star field. This is the good thing about the command ship. Because it has to command the fleet's operations, all kinds of radars are stronger and more abundant than those of the main battleship.

Countless data rushed down like a waterfall. It was the first time that the intelligent center was running at full power. Massive amounts of data were continuously integrated, outlining the detailed information of the surrounding airspace bit by bit.

A star map slowly unfolded in front of Liu Wen, with space data, dark energy data, asteroid data, battlefield movement data, etc., marked out in every detail.

"Boss, the space fluctuation at this coordinate point is abnormal. It's a bit like the remaining data after the space channel was destroyed." Jack said, pointing to a coordinate point.

"Launch a reconnaissance drone and try to use the space stabilization device to solidify it and see how the situation goes." Liu Wen responded casually.

Jack controlled a reconnaissance drone to the coordinate point. When he got closer, he could detect clear space fluctuations and occasionally abnormal energy emissions that did not belong to that star field.

"Activate the space stabilizer, fix the space frequency to detect the space channel frequency, turn on the space positioning device, and charge the space shock wave."

The command ship approached the target, and a silver-white beam of light shot out from it, covering the coordinate point. The coordinate point, whose spatial frequency kept changing, was stabilized under the silver-white beam of light, and the frequency gradually tried to find a suitable entrance to the space channel under the guidance of the equipment.

"Found it, the space coordinates have been determined, launch the space probe to achieve precise positioning." Jack happily opened a channel of more than ten centimeters at the coordinate point, and a slender probe was launched and hit the space channel directly.

A projection lit up, revealing a devastated land covered with all sorts of insect remains, and tiny flames burning on broken plants.

"Boss, look what I found, a Zerg subspace, and it has been cleared out." Jack shouted with joy on his face.

When Liu Wen and Fat Blue heard that a subspace had been discovered, they hurried over. Looking at the various data sent back by the probe, their hearts pounding.

"Jack, expand the space channel, launch the maintenance equipment and barrier equipment, and build a space gate. Fat Blue, launch a few full-frequency detectors to explore the specific size of this subspace and the number and type of insects."

After Liu Wen assigned the tasks, he controlled the psychic detector and mineral detector and rushed into the space channel opened by Jack. The detection radar was turned on unscrupulously, and the detailed information in the subspace gradually increased.

"Ha, there is indeed a psychic reaction, and the psychic level is not low." Liu Wen clapped his hands happily. Insects do not live in places without treasures. Their food is various high-energy minerals or energy-rich areas. High-level insects like to feed on psychic minerals. Intelligent queen insects even like to cultivate psychic plants on their own to obtain a steady supply of high-quality psychic food.

This is also the biggest contradiction between the Void Zerg and the intelligent races in the universe. Those with strength want to snatch resources from the Zerg, while those without strength have their resources snatched away by the Zerg. The Zerg reproduce quickly, and as long as there are sufficient resources, their evolution speed is unparalleled in the universe.

"Michelle, quickly dispatch a few warships back to this coordinate location, quickly, and bring two more fully automatic defense systems." Liu Wen was very excited. Although this time the prize was not obtained through robbery and there was no hundredfold reward, the subspace nest of the Void Zerg was most likely the nest of the queen that was killed before. Then the psychic minerals inside were likely to have derivative properties, that is, they could continuously devour external energy to produce psychic energy, and through gathering, infect minerals to form spiritual ores.

"The diameter of the subspace is about one light year, the dark energy concentration is 3.5 times that of normal universe, and the number of psychic particles is 0.01 per cubic meter." There is no doubt that this subspace is a psychic energy-rich area. With such psychic energy density, this subspace must be able to autonomously produce psychic particles.

The blue fat man was shaking with excitement. How much money would this be worth? The earth was one light year in diameter. Even if the bugs dug up a lot of psychic minerals to eat, the rest would be enough for them to eat until their mouths were full of oil.

Jack also made a new discovery at this time: "Boss, the subspace bugs are all hiding underground. So far, no bugs above level four have been found, and the number is not large. The number detected is less than 30 million."

"Thirty million? There can't be only this much left. They must have hidden deep in the earth. We need to dig a few more geological exploration wells to find out the thickness of the earth. We also need to clear out the bugs underground as soon as possible. Otherwise, when they give birth to new queen bugs, we won't be able to enter this subspace anymore."

Liu Wen actually wanted to know why the military didn't take over this subspace. The devastated land was obviously caused by the indiscriminate attack of the psychic battleship, which means that the military should have the specific coordinates of this subspace.

But since your military doesn't take over and doesn't place any influence markers, you can't blame me for developing it for you.

The Star Sea Fleet, which was still under repair, was called back by Liu Wen, and the main battleship sailed directly into the subspace. Because the bugs had not been eliminated yet, they did not dare to carry out development and construction at this time.

Liu Wen waved his hand and used the reserve funds to purchase several medium-sized mining and smelting equipment and a land combat robot production line. The asteroid does not have much else but a lot of basic minerals. The insects are famous for their numbers, so now let them taste what it feels like to be suppressed by numbers.

The alien races that had not yet recovered from the disaster and had been haggling over whether to sign the vassal treaty, after experiencing the previous incident, no longer demanded any high treatment and instead found Shirley and took the initiative to request to sign the vassal treaty.

With the help of Wu Shuhe, the alien races in the asteroid belt were completely under the control of the Xinghai Group, and all kinds of resources, machinery, scientific and technological information, etc. were collected.

Liu Wen was busy dealing with matters in the Zerg subspace, and he just casually glanced at these vassal aliens and ignored them. He did not intend to expose this subspace to the eyes of these vassal aliens for the time being.

In order to cover up the space channel of the subspace, Liu Wen built a small air fortress nearby, which was regarded as the base of the Star Fleet in the asteroid belt.

By mobilizing the resources of the alien race, combat robots were continuously produced and put into the earth. Dozens of tunneling machines dug deep underground, connecting the tunnels dug by the worms. Under the earth, worms were killed every moment, and their bodies were dragged to the surface. The useful ones were collected, and the useless ones were directly minced into meat and used as fertilizer.

In the subspace, psychic minerals have not been dug up yet, but a large amount of psychic materials can be harvested just by cleaning up the remains of insects. The limbs of many high-level insects are the raw materials for forging psychic weapons. Jack leads people to count the profits every day with a smile on his face.

After a busy period of work, more than half a month had passed. The aliens in the asteroid belt had stabilized again, and the abnormal movement of the asteroids caused by the battle had basically subsided. The alien settlements had been repaired and they had returned to their normal way of life.

Unfortunately, because of the fighting, a large number of mineral deposits were affected and destroyed. Now most alien races have to re-explore the asteroids within their sphere of influence to search for useful minerals. It will probably take about half a year to resume production.

Due to the needs of the subspace battlefield, a large amount of ordinary metal minerals were mined by the aliens. Part of it was used to build the Star Fleet's space base and make a simple space station. The other part of the resources was sent into the subspace to produce land combat robots and deploy them underground to consume each other with the insects.

In the absence of the birth of a queen insect, every time an insect dies, there will be one less. In a month at most, all the insects underground will be completely wiped out, and then we can start collecting psychic minerals.

After half a month of repairs on the surface, all the potholes were basically filled. What made Liu Wen sad was that a large number of psychic plants could not be saved and completely withered and had no value at all.

The rest were also affected in the battle, with branches broken, and it was unknown how long it would take for them to recover.

Liu Wen had a headache looking at the various files on the projector. After entering a subspace, the various demands were too numerous to handle.

When mining, you need professional prospectors to calculate the reasonable excavation speed. You also need personnel to formulate the collection volume based on the psychic recovery speed of the subspace and the psychic mineral derivation speed. Destructive excavation is not allowed, which will reduce or even make the autonomous recovery of the subspace ineffective.

Management is also a technology that requires various corresponding professionals to plan and construct the subspace, especially the research and maintenance of the subspace itself, which requires some high-end space scientific research talents and psychic scientific research talents.

Each and every item needs Liu Wen's signature before it can be implemented. It is also difficult to recruit these professionals because they are too sensitive. For example, if you need researchers who study subspace, you have to prove that you at least own a subspace before you can use it.

The same goes for psychic environment researchers. If you don't have an environment rich in psychic energy, why do you need these people?
However, the subspace rich in psychic energy is too valuable. Once the information is leaked, the Star Fleet will not be able to defend it. It is not Liu Wen's character to hand it over to others. After all, this was achieved at the cost of the destruction of half of the asteroid belt.

Even in the Star Fleet, except for a few senior executives, everyone else only knew that the group had discovered a subspace. With the previous experience of discovering the subspace, it was not a big problem. Although it had some value, it was not enough to make others jealous and take action.

In the command ship's conference room, several senior fleet officials sat together again to discuss the next steps and how to solve current problems.

"Tell me, everyone. You all know the current predicament of the group. Is there any suitable solution?" Liu Wen looked at everyone hopefully, hoping to hear a good solution.

As a result, everyone remained silent. Fat Blue and Jack were scratching their heads, looking extremely anxious.

Michelle thought for a while and said, "Boss, if we want to truly develop this subspace, we will have to invest a lot of money and energy. There may not be any abnormalities in the early stage of investment. I am just afraid that when we are almost done with the construction, someone will come and take advantage of it."

"We all know that the group has no powerful people to back it up. To be honest, it is basically impossible for the group to develop and profit on its own."

Liu Wen sighed. How could he not know what Michelle said? However, the subspace that could independently derive psychic materials was a hen that laid golden eggs. The annual profit might not be high, but the profit would last for a long time. If he was a local noble in the Blue River Empire, then it would be enough to support a noble family for generations.

Luo Shaohua suggested: "Chairman, according to the current situation of the subspace, if we want to restore it to normal levels, the annual income should be around 70 million contribution points. If there is a complete team to carry out maintenance and development, the income can be doubled. This is too much profit. I have never heard of natural annihilation in the normal subspace, so I suggest selling it directly. There is absolutely no problem in exchanging it for half a legion's fleet. This will bring you one step closer to your goal of applying for a development order."

"Actually, I have thought of a solution." Wu Shuhe suddenly said.

Everyone focused their eyes on him, waiting for him to express his thoughts, especially the blue fat man and Jack, whose eyes of hope were as hot as torches.

Wu Shuhe paused and said, "In fact, we can directly disclose the information of the subspace. Don't forget, the origin of this subspace was captured by the owner of the psychic battleship. He cleared out the Zerg troops in it, but the other party did not mark the power, so we occupied it. But once the other party sends someone to take it over, can we still refuse to give it to him?"

"What you mean is, the fox is taking advantage of the tiger's power?" Liu Wen instantly understood Wu Shuhe's thoughts.

In fact, the ownership of this subspace has never been in their hands. Since it does not belong to them, the profits they make now are just unexpected gains. So they might as well release the information. Since they have no way to contact the big guy actively, they might as well pretend to let the big guy contact them.

Having someone to endorse and not having someone to endorse are two different things. No matter whether the other party is willing to accept it or not, as long as there is no clear reply, they can develop and profit independently during this period. Other powerful people dare not make any rash moves when they know that there is such a big boss behind them.

The Star Fleet behaved like a custodian. It didn't matter whether he was offended or not, or whether he was crushed to death or not. What was important was the boss's attitude. The one who owned a psychic battleship had to be at least a seventh-level psychic. And anyone who could fight against a queen insect that owned a hive had to be a psychic saint at least. He wouldn't care about any local dignitaries and would just crush them to death.

Judging from the existence of the subspace, that big guy probably didn't take it seriously and probably wouldn't care about such a small income. He probably wouldn't care even if he knew that the Star Fleet occupied the subspace, and he might not even bother to pay attention.

As long as the big guys don't make a clear statement, the fact that the Star Fleet occupies the subspace is a fact, and no one can drive them away and occupy it themselves.

Even if the boss sends someone to take it back, it won't be a problem. At least we have established a connection with the boss, and we can also take advantage of the boss's power. We can also loosen up a bit in the future development of the group.

In general, this method has only advantages and no disadvantages for Xinghai Group. The only difference is the amount of profit.

"Very good, we can do it. Let's do it." Liu Wen slammed the table after thinking it through. There was no harm in it. There was a possibility of profit if he took a gamble. If he didn't gamble, there would probably be only trouble.

"It's a blessing in disguise!" Thinking about the heavy losses suffered by the vassal races in this incident, the mineral income was cut in half again and again, and it has now reached its heels.

Fortunately, there is still the harvest of the subspace. By collecting the remains of insects, most of the losses have been made up. Next, mineral collection will make a profit. If you take a gamble, you may be able to make money for a longer time.
