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

Chapter 57 Head-on Attack

In the group meeting room, all management of the two fleets were present.

"I called you to the meeting today because we just accepted an exploration mission. Both of your fleets must participate. I'm notifying you to be ready. Here are the relevant materials and the confidentiality agreement." Liu Wen threw the materials directly on the conference table. People could only view them after signing the confidentiality agreement.

Everyone was a little surprised that they had to sign a confidentiality agreement before they could see the information. It seemed that this mission was not easy.

After signing the agreement and reading the documents, everyone looked at Liu Wen with flushed faces. This task was quite challenging.

"Chairman, should we strengthen the strength of our fleet? I heard that the research and development department has built an experimental special ship, and there are several flagships that are being installed. Let's take them along." Luo Shaohua was thick-skinned enough to get all the high-end goods as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Luo Shaohua, what are you dreaming about?" Bai Haitang immediately got angry. All the good things are given to your Star Sea Fleet. Is my Galaxy Fleet being raised by your stepmother?
"Chairman, the fleet has less than 2,000 warships, and they are all level 5 technology warships. Compared with those large teams, not only are they all level 6 technology warships, but they also have more than us. The gap is too big. Let's add a few more warships."

Liu Wen spread his hands and said helplessly: "You think I don't want to fill the quota directly? I don't. The production efficiency is so high. The orders for civilian warships have been fully booked. There are also orders from local security departments. There are not many warships in stock at present."

"Forget about the special ships. The research department has dismantled them and only a frame is left. The core equipment is still being adjusted in the laboratory. If we want to enter the actual combat exercise stage, it will take at least two months."

What Liu Wen said is indeed true. Since the relevant factories have not yet been established, special equipment is currently entirely prepared in laboratories, which takes a long time, is costly, and the equipment performance is poor. It is not worth putting into actual combat at all.

"So what is our combat goal this time? To capture space creatures and seize the corresponding training technology as required by the military?" Michelle was more concerned about the mission itself. Only by figuring out the goal can she formulate a corresponding plan, instead of running around like a headless fly.

"This is an important goal, but it doesn't have to be accomplished," Liu Wen said.

"After entering the subspace, the first priority is to plunder resources and bring more profits to the group, and then the military's mission."

"It takes too long to make a profit from cultivating space creatures. We don't have that much time. Even if we catch them, it's enough to keep the seeds. The rest should be sold when necessary."

"Therefore, short-term gains are in the best interests of the group. The subspace has psionic materials, rich resources, and many civilized races, so it will be easier to plunder resources. As long as we don't target the administrative regions of these alien races, they won't fight us to the death when there are a large number of foreign enemies."

Shirley reminded: "Chairman, the subspace is rich in psychic materials, which also means that there are many psychics inside, but we currently do not have the corresponding high-level psychics to ensure the internal security of the fleet."

"Ordinary psychics are not a big problem. We just need to prepare more equipment for psychics, especially restraint equipment. According to the strength of the fleet, as long as we can hit them, even a level six psychic can be taken out in one wave. The only thing we are afraid of is the emergence of an over-standard level seven psychic master. In that case, we can only wait for death." Although Wu Shuhe said it seriously, he didn't believe in his heart that there really were level seven psychic masters in the subspace.

It is true that there is no limit to the improvement of a psychic's psychic powers, but his spirit does have limits. His technological level is only level five, and he does not have sufficient theoretical knowledge to support level six. When he is unable to fully control his own psychic powers, how can he be promoted to level seven, known as the God of the World?
"Jack, go to the Interstellar Alliance to exchange some corresponding equipment to deal with psychics. Get the best ones below level seven." Liu Wen turned to Jack and said.

"Understood." Jack also knew that this time they were entering the subspace, and the most dangerous ones were these psychics, because they were too flexible and could enter the interior of the warship through short-distance jumps. No matter how powerful the warship was, once an uncontrollable enemy entered its interior, it would only be defeated.

He then said to the two Marine Corps leaders of the two fleets, "There will likely be a large-scale ground battle this time. How is the armed force of your Marine Corps?"

Wei Ming and Lena looked at each other with sympathy. Finally, the chairman still remembered their existence.

"Chairman, the Star Fleet's land forces have a total of more than 514,000 combat soldiers, including 510,000 alien soldiers and 10 million level 5 land combat mechanized troops." Wei Ming answered first: "The dedicated land combat transport ships have not been delivered yet, so there is a lack of vehicles."

Reina also spoke up, "Chairman, the Galaxy Marines also have 504,000 soldiers, including 500,000 alien soldiers, 10 million land combat mechanized troops, and the dedicated transport ships have not been delivered for use."

"More than 20 million troops are enough. Why hasn't the transport ship arrived yet? I remember that the payment document was signed three months ago?" Liu Wen remembered that he had signed the relevant documents, but why hasn't it been delivered for several months? As he spoke, he looked at Jack.

Jack replied, "The four transport ships are undergoing final upgrades and will be ready for use in ten days. The air-space fighters and landing craft they are equipped with will provide enough ground support firepower to ensure they can be used until they are expanded to army-level units again."

"That's good. We must hurry up and give them at least a week of adaptive training." Liu Wen stopped paying attention after getting the answer. The Marines are basically used as a last resort, and most of the time they are used as escort teams on main battleships.

The meeting ended very quickly. In fact, there was not much to discuss in this meeting. It was just to let everyone know that there was such a task and to do the preparation work.

After checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps, the meeting was dispersed and everyone returned to the fleet to begin preparing the fleet. Those on vacation or rest were recalled one after another to cooperate with the training several times to maintain the combat effectiveness of the fleet.

Time passed quickly and it was half a month later. The two fleets set sail from the 069 star system. After leaving the star system, they adjusted their routes and jumped to the coordinates set by the military.

Two days later, the fleet arrived at the void of the 004 star system. The surrounding three light-year void had been blocked by the garrison. Space jumps and curvature navigation could not be used. The arriving fleet could only dock in the void under the surveillance of the garrison fleet and wait for orders.

A day later, the fleets that arrived one after another occupied the void of more than a dozen light hours. They were constantly communicating with each other, and all kinds of tactics of forming alliances and making coalitions seemed to be flying everywhere at this time as if they were sold in bulk.

Liu Wen was not interested in these things. His goals were different from those of most people from the beginning, so he didn't want to waste time with them. Therefore, he rejected everyone who extended an olive branch to him.

"This is the Shuzhong Garrison Military District, the 016th Garrison Fleet. On behalf of the Garrison Fleet, we welcome everyone to participate in this exploration mission. The space gate will be officially opened in half an hour. Now, please ask the representatives of each fleet to draw lots. The order of entering the space gate will be determined according to the results of the draw, and the merit record function will be enabled."

A notification message from the military came through the communication channel. After verifying his identity, Liu Wen logged into the military website and started drawing lots.

"Oh no, No. 0128, is the ranking so high?" Liu Wen frowned. It would not be very friendly to be ranked too high. This time he would be the vanguard for others.

"Name: Star Fleet
Number: 3,719

The merit system is open, please open battlefield record permissions, please open positioning permissions, please open radar permissions, please open personnel verification permissions..."

A series of applications emerged, and Liu Wen could only approve them one by one. This was just like the mobile phone software in his hometown, where all kinds of permissions were mandatory, and you couldn't use it if you didn't open up permissions. Fortunately, the military still had some shame and did not open up those irrelevant permissions, thus preserving the fleet's own privacy.

After all permissions were passed, the merit system left a small projection window, displaying the merit points of the Star Fleet, and tactfully moved it to the side, revealing the main projection position.

In the void, a star gate with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers was activated. Except for two mobile fortresses, the rest of the warships of the garrison fleet guarding the surrounding area retreated one after another, and their ship guns turned to aim at the space channel that was about to open through the star gate.

The star gate was activated, and the built-in reactor began to deliver tremendous energy. Equipment in various areas was activated, a slight space fluctuation appeared, and space energy covered the entire star gate.

In the middle of the fluorescent star gate, a gray-white space channel was revealed as if energy was reeling back. After the space channel stabilized, communication from the garrison fleet came again.

"The space channel has been established, the induction has been lit, and we can set off."

"I wish you all good luck in military affairs. No matter how the times change ruthlessly, the flame of humanity will last forever!" The propulsion engines of the fleet participating in the mission were started, and they rushed towards the space gate with a long ion tail flame.

The Star Fleet rushed into the space channel in a defensive formation, but when it reappeared, no trace of the human fleet was found in the surrounding area.

"The garrison troops are using random delivery?" Luo Shaohua slapped his forehead, thinking something was wrong.

After Bai Haitang and Michelle looked at each other, Michelle took over the overall command and began to give orders.

"Scout ship, scout all around."

"Turn on the detection radar to scan the surrounding environment."

"Activate optical cloaking, activate energy binding field."

"All warships enter level 2 combat readiness."

"Preheating the space jump engine and the curvature engine."

……

Several people in the flagship command room were busy determining the fleet's location and surrounding conditions. Liu Wen was also watching the subspace detection data through data sharing.

The detected subspace data is no different from that provided by the garrison. The starry sky scenes collected through the optical telescope also roughly determine the area where the fleet is located, but the specific location has not yet been determined.

After receiving the order, the ten reconnaissance ships activated their camouflage and flew in a different direction. There was not a single large asteroid within several light years of where the fleet was located. It was entirely empty and void. If the collected spectrum had not proven that there was no problem, Liu Wen would have called the military to see if they had sent the ships to the wrong place.

A few hours later, the reconnaissance ship had moved to a star system more than ten light years away through short-distance jumps and curvature navigation, and initially discovered signs of activity of local creatures.

It took more than two days to survey the surrounding area of ​​more than 100 light years, and found two life-bearing star systems with planets containing life, and seven or eight barren star systems.

Three of the desolate star systems have mining platforms of local civilizations. The planets are full of huge pits, but there are not many spaceships traveling in the void, and most of them only fly within the life star systems.

So far, no organized warships have been found anywhere else except in life-bearing star systems.

"This star field is a bit strange. The civilizations in the two star systems are obviously different, but they keep their distance from each other and have never expanded. The reconnaissance ships did not find any warship wreckage or other traces of battle in the void of both sides." Wu Shuhe was puzzled by this. Sister Qi, are the civilized races in this subspace so peaceful and friendly?
"Continue exploring outwards?" Wu Shuhe asked.

Luo Shaohua crossed his arms and said, "Go on. Aren't there many space creatures in the subspace? Why haven't we found any after exploring for more than a hundred light years? We are not at the edge of space."

This is also what Liu Wen is puzzled about. Where are the star creatures? The life detectors haven't found any. Is it because the location is wrong, or is it simply impossible for the life detectors to detect them?

It would be a bit bad if the life detector was useless, which meant that the threat posed by space creatures to the fleet was very high, to the point of life and death.

"A large number of psychic reactions were discovered in Star System No. 1 and Star System No. 2. It has been preliminarily determined that they are areas rich in psychic minerals. There are a large number of mining bases in these two star systems, and there should be a lot of accumulated psychic minerals. In addition, no high-energy reactions were found in the star systems, which means they are defenseless against us." Shirley reported.

Bai Haitang looked at the information and found that the two star systems were not far away from the two civilizations, only about ten light years away. A level four civilization could be reached with just a leap.

"Let the No. 3 reconnaissance ship conduct a careful reconnaissance to see the approximate value and reserve quantity of the psychic minerals."

Shirley naturally passed on Bai Haitang's order, and Deng Jingting, whose job was snatched away, could only process the data of the two reconnaissance ships he was responsible for.

A few hours later, the preliminary exploration results of the two alien civilizations came out, and several people gathered together to discuss whether to take action now.

Deng Jingting stood in front of the projection and introduced to everyone: "The technological level of Civilization No. 1 and Civilization No. 2 is not high. They have just entered the fifth level of technology. The number of fleets is not large. So far, less than five legions have been discovered. There are not many space stations in the star system. Basically, they are all military. There are very few civilian spacecraft entering and leaving."

"There are a large number of living cities and factory areas on the planets in the star system. Aircraft take off and land frequently. The psychic reaction is not strong. No psychic reaction above level four has been found."

"There are a large number of refining plants built in the two psychic mineral production areas, but no fleets have been found stationed there. Occasionally, patrol fleets will pass by the two star systems."

"We have also gone out to confirm the spiritual energy minerals in the two places. They are high-density blue gold ore and shining gold ore. They are excellent materials for forging spiritual energy weapons. Each cubic meter is worth 19 contribution points and 23 contribution points."

"Preliminary estimates put the storage volume at around 10 million cubic meters. The remaining common spiritual energy minerals have a storage volume of more than 10 billion cubic meters, but they are too dispersed and the content is low, making them difficult to collect."

Michelle looked at Bai Haitang and said, "Commander Bai, do you think we should fight or not?"

"Where to hit? Number one or number two, or both?" Bai Haitang asked back.

"With the strength of our fleet, we can only take it quickly and cannot hold it for long, so I suggest that we act separately and take over the two mines at the same time and take away the high-value minerals." Michelle suggested.

Liu Wen nodded in agreement and asked the two to go and deploy the combat plan and plan the evacuation route.

Two hours later, the two fleets separated. The reconnaissance ship left first to clear the way according to the evacuation direction. After the fleet was ready, it directly jumped to the two star systems according to the coordinates provided by the reconnaissance ship.

The result was very surprising. After the fleet arrived via the jump, hundreds of small aircraft flew out from the two mineral star systems, which were originally thought to have little counterattack power. Thousands of creatures with psychic flames stood on the backs of the aircraft and rushed towards the fleet.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Level 6 psychic reactions detected, a large number of level 5 psychic reactions detected!"

Liu Wen and his companions' faces suddenly turned pale. With so many psychics, why didn't the reconnaissance ship scan any of them?
Before they could react, another warning sounded. A large number of psychic reactions and life reactions were discovered on the surrounding planets and in the distant asteroid belt. A large number of star creatures, ranging in size from a few hundred meters to one or two kilometers in size, jumped over carrying psychics, trying to encircle the fleet.

"How did they manage to block the level six detection radar?" Questions were popping up in everyone's heads.
