Chapter 62

In the void, a fleet in a shuttle formation was moving slowly at cruising speed.

Inside the Star Sea flagship, the entire nebula projection of the subspace unfolded before everyone.

"The subspace with a diameter of 1.2 million light years has a total of more than 800,000 star systems, forming a super-large nebula orbiting the black hole at the core of space."

"Through the data collected by the launched detectors, we have determined that the races in the subspace are extremely prosperous, with nearly 5,000 alien countries. Many of these countries are different political systems of the same race. Most of these countries are huddled in a star system, radiating to several dozen surrounding star systems."

"The strongest among them are ten alien nations. Their technological level is very close to the sixth-level technological civilization. Their spiritual energy cultivation is extremely advanced, and there are many star creatures."

"We have discovered a scene of a battle between the human exploration fleet and several alien nations. The human fleet was defeated and retreated. Currently, the 200,000 light-year range within the core of the subspace has become a restricted area for humans. Once discovered, they will immediately face attacks from alien civilizations headed by these ten alien nations."

"With a huge army of psychics numbering in the hundreds of thousands, plus the even more powerful space creatures, the human exploration fleet is no match for them."

After Shirley finished her explanation, she sat in her seat, drank tea and waited for everyone to digest the information.

Liu Wen clasped his hands together and held his chin, looking at the rotating projection of the nebula, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, he asked, "Did you find anything else?"

"Yes, according to the information collected by the detector, the closer to the core of the subspace, the higher the concentration of psychic energy, the higher the probability of the birth of psychic materials and the better the quality. However, we are currently at the edge of the nebula, and the probability of the birth of psychic minerals is not high." Shirley replied.

"Are you sure they are all level five civilizations? The further you go in, the stronger they are?" Liu Wen continued to ask.

"Yes." Shirley enlarged the projection and displayed the alien civilization in front of the fleet: "These are the coordinates of the alien civilizations detected so far. The more populous a country is, the stronger it is. These are the locations of the detected psychic minerals."

Liu Wen leaned back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest. "Find a few targets. Our goal this time is to fill up the cargo holds of those transport ships. You can handle the rest. I won't interfere."

When Luo Shaohua and the others heard what Liu Wen said, they all had a clue in their minds. There were actually many ways to seize mineral resources. These alien civilizations would not devote all their forces to protecting a mine, so they could just create a time difference.

Luo Shaohua and Michelle gathered together and whispered for a long time, then they brought the people from the Galaxy Fleet together to discuss for a while and came up with a draft plan.

The reconnaissance ship changed direction and returned to the area where the fleet was located, exploring the alien civilization near the interior of the nebula.

A few days later, the reconnaissance ship returned and replenished the detectors three times. A total of tens of millions of detectors were deployed to cover the alien countries in the area of ​​hundreds of thousands of light years. The detailed reconnaissance data were gathered together, allowing the fleet to understand these alien countries more and more.

The action plan was revised again and again, and finally more than a dozen versions of action plans were developed to deal with different scenarios.

The Star Sea Fleet and the Galaxy Fleet set sail again. When they reached a target location, one went straight to the alien's psychic mine star system, while the other went to provoke the alien country, circling around the star system with a space jammer, and occasionally launching a few rounds of artillery fire through electromagnetic cannons. Although they had no record except hitting some unlucky asteroids and meteorites, the act of firing at the mother star was very infuriating.

There was no reaction from the Galaxy Fleet after it seized the minerals. The civilization sent a large number of psychic troops and armed fleets to encircle and intercept the Star Sea Fleet. However, how could they easily encircle and intercept the Star Sea Fleet when it had already accelerated to 60% of the speed of light?

After a series of chases, not only did the psychic forces of this civilization suffer heavy losses, but their two psychic mineral mines were also completely mined by the Galaxy Fleet in a short period of time. Then both fleets fled, running hundreds of light years away before they were able to escape each other's pursuit.

For more than a month, the Star Sea Fleet robbed the mines of seventeen alien countries and obtained more than 300 million cubic meters of psychic minerals. Liu Wen's golden finger also gave seventeen rewards.

"Okay, let's stop for a while and refine the minerals. Also, go and investigate the situation at these seventeen coordinates. If there is no danger, go and collect all the items." Liu Wen stopped the robbery business and took out the seventeen reward coordinates. These rewards were the real harvest, with a total value of more than 400 billion contribution points.

Another reason for stopping is to speed up mining. The excavated ore has too many impurities and it takes time to purify it. In addition, the end of this exploration mission is not far away, so it is safer to get the reward first.

The psychic minerals that Golden Finger has rewarded in recent times are all quite safe. They are either on wandering planets, asteroids, or in desolate star systems. There is no danger in mining them, and the fleet has enough time to purify the minerals.

Another half month passed, and the total harvest of the seventeen rewards was higher than Liu Wen had expected. The psychic minerals reached nearly 30 billion cubic meters, and the estimated contribution points reached about 450 billion. The huge cash flow was enough for Liu Wen to form two full-strength legions.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were nearly ten days left, I planned to grab two more mines to kill time since I had nothing to do. However, something went wrong during this attempt.

Luo Shaohua and others prepared to use the same trick again. Although it did not require much technical skills, it was very effective.

As soon as the Star Fleet jumped to the outside of the star system of an alien country, it encountered a group of star creatures that looked like butterflies that had also jumped to the outside of this star system. These giant butterflies, which were five or six kilometers long and had a wingspan of more than ten kilometers, flapped their wings at the Star Fleet as soon as they discovered it.

Waves of space ripples took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and swept towards the fleet at superluminal speed in the form of a void storm. Along the way, space was shattered and space energy formed storm tides that swept in all directions.

Michelle was so frightened that he immediately ordered the fleet to make a forced jump. Fortunately, the two sides were more than ten light minutes apart. The fleet finally jumped to the side of the Galaxy Fleet before the space storm arrived, avoiding the fatal blow.

However, the local alien kingdom was not so lucky. They didn't know whether this group of butterflies was targeting them. After the Star Fleet ran away, this group of butterflies turned around and rushed into the star system, blowing the void storm unscrupulously. These butterflies moved forward in the void storm.

The planet disintegrated and was swallowed by space. The alien psychics could only flee in a hurry on spaceships. The defensive weapons in the star system did not play any role in the void storm. All the attacks were swallowed by the space storm. "Beautiful things are often extremely deadly. The ancients were not deceiving me." Luo Shaohua swallowed his saliva as he looked at the image transmitted back by the detector. This group of butterflies was really foul. The space storm came as soon as it came. Civilizations below level 7 should not think of fighting them head-on. They could not even break through the void storm they blew.

"Hurry up, use this group of butterflies to destroy the alien civilization, and we will drain all their psychic minerals." Liu Wen looked at the alien spaceship fleeing in panic in the projection. The first thing he thought of was that there would be no reinforcements for the mine in this alien country. Wouldn't that allow him to take whatever he wanted?
Neither fleet started a war with the other. After receiving the information from the mother planet, the psychic troops guarding the mine withdrew on their own at a very fast speed, as if they were running for their lives.

Although Liu Wen and others didn't understand why they did this, they felt a shadow in their hearts and felt that things would not go smoothly in the future.

Therefore, Michelle ordered all ships in the fleet to keep their jump engines activated, and to immediately activate the jump and escape if any problems occurred.

After collecting minerals dozens of times in a row, the engineering team has become very skilled in mining. They have developed several related tools to speed up work efficiency. Several devices that resemble vacuum cleaners were dropped down, and two frigate-class battleships entered the planet's atmosphere after being equipped with improved traction beams. They caught the minerals thrown into the air by the vacuum cleaners and passed them upwards, transporting them all the way to the transport ship in outer space, which then delivered them to the cargo hold.

The entire workflow is dozens of times faster than transportation by transport boat, which is equivalent to artificially creating a huge conveyor belt connecting the surface and outer space.

A few hours later, tens of millions of cubic meters of minerals were mined, the vacuum cleaner on the ground exploded, and the spaceship returned to the fleet. Just as it was about to leave, a strong space fluctuation appeared in the void not far from the fleet.

Before the fleet activated its defense system, the group of butterflies suddenly appeared more than ten light minutes away.

"Jump immediately to the agreed coordinates." Michelle gave the order hurriedly without even mentioning counterattack.

The fleet, which had been prepared in advance, immediately started its jump engine and jumped into the void more than a hundred light years away before the butterfly's void storm took shape.

Just when everyone thought it was safe, space fluctuations were heard again in the void, but this time the frequency was relatively low, which meant that the jump would be completed more slowly.

"Speed ​​up the charging of the jump engine and go to this star system." Michelle seemed to have thought of something and transmitted the coordinates of the star system of an alien country to each ship.

Just after the butterflies reappeared, the Star Fleet once again leapt away from them.

As soon as the jump was completed, Michelle ordered: "Start the warp engine, go full speed, and continue to charge the jump engine."

"Where is this civilization's psychic mine?" Michelle asked Shirley.

"Are you trying to divert trouble here?" Shirley asked uncertainly.

"Yes, I suspect that this group of butterflies are petty and vindictive!" Michelle transmitted the coordinates of the psychic mine to each ship, and then the flagship made a unified jump.

As soon as the fleet started its curvature engine and began to accelerate, the local alien civilization sent a large number of troops to catch up, preparing to destroy this fleet that had forced its way into the country.

But before they could catch up, another wave of space fluctuations came, and dozens of giant butterflies appeared in the star system following the footsteps of the Star Fleet.

The alien race's defense system had already been activated by the Star Fleet, but the Star Fleet was running too fast and was out of range. However, these butterflies had just leaped in and were still within the attack range, so they were met with a covering attack as soon as they appeared.

This completely annoyed the group of giant butterflies. They spread their wings and flapped them wildly at the void. The void storm swept in all directions. Seeing that there was a ring belt on the star, they jumped all the way to the edge of the star and flapped their wings wildly. The space was broken and the void turbulence carried the broken space towards the star.

The stellar energy was swallowed up by the broken spaces one by one. As the space storm and the stellar energy collided and an energy tide erupted, the entire star became unstable. In addition, a huge amount of stellar matter was swallowed up by the space. After the space was restored, the gathered stellar matter collided violently with each other, instantly triggering violent nuclear fusion, and was swallowed up by more space storms that swept in afterwards.

After compressing and swallowing again and again, when Butterfly chased the Star Fleet away, the star, which had shrunk by two times in size, finally couldn't hold on any longer and triggered a superstellar explosion prematurely. The stellar storm swept across the entire star system and rushed into the void.

Originally seeing that the giant butterflies had left, the aliens who had escaped were preparing to come back to clean up the mess, but they happened to encounter a star explosion, and all the spaceships were destroyed in an instant.

A foreign country was destroyed inexplicably, and disaster struck while one was sitting at home.

After discovering that the butterfly was chasing them, the Star Fleet immediately leapt towards its target, violently rushing into the planet where the mine was located, fighting with the guard troops while aggressively launching collection.

After the guard troops received the information from the mother planet, they no longer cared about the actions of the Star Fleet and turned around and returned to the mother planet.

The Star Fleet rushed to collect minerals. In order to collect as much as possible, Michelle overclocked all the space interference equipment and also invested more equipment to collect minerals.

The space interference did have some effect on Butterfly's jump, and the opponent's jump location was more than one light-hour away from the Star Fleet.

And because of the delay of more than two hours in destroying the alien mother planet and Dyson rings, the Star Fleet had already collected nearly eight million cubic meters of raw ore. After these butterflies appeared again, the Star Fleet set sail immediately, made two consecutive jumps and ran more than three hundred light years into the nebula, entered the outskirts of an alien star system, and then made a short jump to the other side of the star system.

This time the preparations were more thorough, which resulted in the giant butterflies being fiercely counterattacked by the local alien civilization as soon as they entered the star system.

After discovering that they were giant butterflies, the alien spaceships took off and fled in all directions, leaving behind the automatic defense system to mobilize all kinds of firepower to attack these butterflies, attracting their attention while also buying time for the people to escape.

As local creatures, they knew very well that they could not be provoked by those star creatures. They were naturally aware of the harm of these giant butterflies, so they did not even think about whether they could resist them. They ran, ran as far as they could, sacrificed everything that could be sacrificed to attract hatred and delay time, and then ran!
