Star Planter

Lu Li returned to the command room with the best wishes from General Zhuang Wei of the Federation.Shen Shen has already arranged the particle interception, and the second and third teams are also ready to go, ready for a surprise attack.

"How's the situation?" Lu Li asked.

"Everything is normal, the other party is about to enter the particle interception zone." Shen Shen replied.

Lu Li nodded, unfolded the sensory penetrating starship, and spread forward along the dark universe.No sound, no smell... nothing, the universe unfolded in his mental world was a blank space, and this was the Sentry's favorite place.Ever since Lu Li awakened at the age of 8, he faced an extremely chaotic world every day.The overloaded information was like turbid running water, washing his five senses violently again and again.In order not to die from the information explosion, Lu Li first learned how to erect a sensory barrier for himself.It is a kind of enjoyment to be able to extend the senses without hindrance like this.A few seconds later, Lu Li saw Xika's starship.The other party was driving in their direction and crashed into the particle interception zone.

"The second and third teams are dispatched, I wish everyone good luck." Lu Li said in a deep voice.

"Got it, boss." Jiang Bo, who was in the lead, howled excitedly, "Let's go for credit."

"In order to eat food every day." "In order to sleep in bed at night." "In order for the boss not to go bankrupt." All kinds of strange screams followed, and the hatch of Iris opened, and the eighteen planes were so dark that their history could not be seen. The mecha slipped out of the hatch and rushed towards Sika's starship like a ghost.The people staying behind on the Iris laughed when they heard Jiang Bo and his target. Lu Li smiled warmly and shook his head.

Everyone is relaxed, and no one is worried that the elite of the army will be defeated by a few small star thieves.But the next moment, a burst of dazzling blue light burst out from the opponent's hull, and the C-class heavy ship in the light began to be upgraded to a B-class dreadnought ship.At the same time, the other side's hatch opened, and a row of [-] mechas, also invisible, flew out, intercepting the direction of the second and third groups.

Lu Li: "...the other party is not a star thief." The star thief will not have such a quick reaction, and there is no need to disguise the dreadnought as a heavy ship.

Shen Shen reacted very quickly, "Mercenary?"

Lu Li was silent for a moment, his senses extended, "Like someone from the military."

"..." Shen Shen, he jumped up immediately, "Who is so boring, dare not show up in a dignified way, but wants to pretend to be a star thief."

Land from:"……"

The group of people lying on the gun: "..."

Shen Shen: "Hehe... Are we going to recall Jiang Bo? It's not good if our own people make misunderstandings."

Just as Lu Li was about to order Jiang Bo to be recalled, the mechas of the two sides met.The gorgeous flames lit up in the dark universe, and Jiang Bo's voice came out in despair, "Boss, it's not a Star Bandit, it's a private soldier of the fucking Lin family."

Hearing that it was the Lin family, the Iris immediately burst into battle, and Lu Li also changed his mind about recalling Jiang Bo.Although both belong to the Federation, the Seventh Army and the Lin family have always been at loggerheads. 18 years ago, the Lin family single-handedly led the "Scarlet Iris Incident". Li Zhendao, the head of the Seventh Legion, lost his partner in the incident, while Lu Li and all members of the First Squad lost their home, relatives and everything.If it was someone else, Iris would avoid it. After all, Lu Li is a soldier and not a star thief, but the Lin family... Lu Li turned his head to look at Shen Shen with the same warmth on his face.Shen Shen immediately understood what he meant, and whispered: "The white noise transmitter in the command room has been turned on, General Zhuang should not be able to hear the conversation here."

Lu Li nodded and gave the order again: "Adjutant Shen will take over the command, and the first and fourth teams will set out with me."

The Lin family isn't staying at the Federation Center, and they ran to such a remote waterway, and pretended to be a star thief sneakily, wouldn't they be bored?No matter what the Lin family wanted to do, Lu Li had no intention of letting them leave here smoothly.Soon, eighteen mechas flew out of the Iris, fanning towards the opposing starship.Not to be outdone, the opponent's starship once again overwhelmed thirty mechas and intercepted them.

In the captain's lounge, Zhuang Wei looked at the two sides fighting ahead with great interest, and asked the guards beside him, "What do you think of the combat effectiveness of the first team?"

The personal guard showed appreciation, "Very strong."

Zhuang Wei laughed, "The first team is Li Zhendao's trump card. In the past few years, Lu Li has led the first team to station on the planet Karn, commanding 10,000+ regular troops to hold off millions of dark beasts, and the record is very outstanding. "

The personal guard nodded in agreement, "I've heard his name before, and the 'Blue Sand Bloody Battle' a year ago was very impressive. But I heard that the Central Inspectorate suppressed his reward..."

Zhuang Wei shook his head, "The gang from the Central Supervision Department... You probably don't know that Lu Li also came from the Central Supervision Department. Later, he fell out with the Central Supervision Department and left the army with his subordinates. If old man Li hadn't taken him in , I’m afraid there will be another Star Thief Group in the Federation.” Zhuang Wei seemed to recall something, “If nothing else happens, old man Li intends to train him to be his successor.”

"How could it be? General Li is still young, and besides, the Seventh Legion has a lot of strong men, so he might not be able to obey Lu Li."

"Whether you will be convinced depends on Lu Li's ability. As for old man Li..." Zhuang Wei sighed, "It has been 18 years since Guide Minghui passed away."

The Minghui guide he was talking about was the commander of the Seventh Legion, the partner of General Li Zhendao of the Federation, who died in the Scarlet Iris incident 18 years ago.The combination of sentinel and guide, though compared to a "marriage", cannot be divorced like a marriage, nor can it afford to lose either of them.Once combined, the two parties are not only the body but also the soul.No matter which one of them dies, the other party will not be able to bear the stripping and pain of that soul.Under such circumstances, the vast majority of people choose to commit suicide, and only a small number of people survive, but the rest of their lives will be in mourning for a long time.

Guide Minghui passed away 18 years ago. Everyone thought that old man Li would not be able to make it through. Unexpectedly, old man Li not only survived, but also lasted for 18 years.If the Seventh Legion hadn't been stationed at the border defense line to block the Dark Beast's footsteps in these years, humans probably wouldn't have won a short-term peace.Although old man Li looked alive and kicking every time he appeared, Zhuang Wei could sense that old man Li might not be able to last for a few years, five years at most.In the case of a high-ranking sentinel who can live to be 150 years old, dying in less than [-] years can be said to be an untimely death.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Wei lost his composure and turned his attention to the distant battlefield again.

In the dark universe, Lu Li controlled the mech to avoid the strong pulse stream ejected by the Gauss cannon. After a thrilling 360-degree rotation, he appeared under the opponent's starship.Lu Li stretched out his left arm, and the mechanical hand began to deform. A small Gauss cannon protruded from his arm, flashing blue light, and the close-range pulse stream directly tore a hole in the hull above his head.

Lu Li retreated, and Liao Kai, his subordinate code-named Bad Wolf, jumped up the gap.The members of the first team followed behind him tacitly.Not far away, an enemy mech returned. Lu Li turned the direction of the Gauss cannon and pressed it down. The light lit up. The two enemy mechas rushed to dodge and were hit by the pulse flow.The whole process was as if they deliberately ran into Lu Li's attack.

This is where high-level sentries are stronger than low-level sentries.Before attacking, Lu Li had already judged the possible evasion direction of the enemy through his perception, so he deliberately lowered his weapon and directly attacked the predicted direction.He put away the gauss cannon, and said gently to the team channel, "In 5 minutes, I want to hear the news that the battle is over. Whoever dragged his feet, cleaned the Iris for a week, canceled the ration of vegetables and fruits during the period, and can only Take nutritional supplements."

"Oh!" "Boss is too cruel." "I don't want to eat garbage."

There was a wail in the channel, and everyone accelerated the battle.Although the Lin family's private soldiers are powerful, the first combat team is the ace team in the army.In less than 4 minutes, the battle inside and outside the starship was over.The survivors of the Lin family were locked in the rescue cabin.Liao Kai set the coordinates of a remote planet and pressed the launch button of the rescue capsule.

"good luck."

He smiled sincerely, and didn't care about the life and death of the Lin family at all.In Liao Kai's view, it was already a great kindness for him not to throw the Lin family to the Dark Beast.

Having resolved the presence of outsiders, the converging team members began to mop up the enemy starships.

"Hurry up, move the bed in the crew room back, I don't want to sleep in a hammock anymore."

"Oh my God, look at their kitchen, they are so extravagant that they use porcelain, pack it up, pack it all up and sell it on the Poxing black market."

"Get rich, there is actually an ecological plant cultivation room in the bottom cabin."

"Look at your prospects, energy stones, the most valuable ones are energy stones."

The chaotic voices sounded everywhere, and Liao Kai's voice was the most obvious, "Boss, come quickly, there is a cabin here that cannot be opened. Before that, the Lin family was the most strict about this place, and Little Taro was almost injured."

"I didn't, um, um, um..."

Lu Li rushed over with Wei Na and the others, and Little Taro was pressing down on Liao Kai and beating him violently.Little Taro's name is Yu Sen. He is the youngest in the first team. He has just turned 18. Everyone usually likes to tease him.

"Boss, help." Liao Kai shouted while pinching his neck.

Everyone laughed.

The cabin Liao Kai mentioned looks very ordinary, but it has a three-layer combination lock.Wei Na connected the personal terminal to the combination lock, and started to crack it with all her fingers.The group members behind gathered more and more, and everyone was curious about what would be inside.Ten minutes later, the combination lock was opened, and the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the neatly arranged A-level standard energy stones.Everyone's eyes lit up at the same time. Just as Jiang Bo was about to say he got rich, Liao Kai interrupted him, "What is that?"

In the center of the energy stone, a "tree" more than two meters high is floating in the air.

"Galaxy Treant." Lu Li answered instead.

The Xinghe treant is an ancient race in the universe. It is shaped like a tree, and it is indeed a tree.They have their own unique biological civilization, which has been recorded for tens of millions of years.The Galaxy Treant is not a native race of the Milky Way, but comes from a distant galaxy.Their growth cycle is very long, and it takes thousands of years to grow from a juvenile to a mature body.During the entire growth process, the Xinghe treant needs a lot of energy stones.For this reason, once all the Xinghe tree people pass the initial stage, they will leave their home planets and wander in the universe, looking for planets that may have energy stones.

When humans first discovered the Xinghe Treant, they thought that the Xinghe Treant was the same alien species as the Dark Beast.But soon humans discovered the value of the Xinghe Shuren.As the pinnacle of biological civilization, the Galaxy Treeman can take root anywhere.The energy in their body covers the area where they are rooted, forming a kind of unique energy shield.This energy shield can not only protect against existing weapon attacks, but also spontaneously repair the damage caused by attacks.For the Federation, which is always at war, the Galaxy Treant is the existence that all starships dream of.As a result, humans immediately reached a cooperation with the Xinghe Treant. Humans provided the energy stones that the Xinghe Treant needed, and the Xinghe Treant provided the necessary protection for the human starship.

From the discovery of the first galaxy treant until now, the total number of galaxy treants in the Milky Way is not many, which can be described as extremely precious.The only known dozens of Xinghe Shuren either belonged to the federal army or belonged to several major families.Jiang Bo looked at the sleeping Xinghe Treant with a dreamy expression, and said, "Boss, let's leave him on the Iris. From now on, we will be a starship with a biological shield." His words represented the voice of everyone, and everyone looked at him. He looked at Lu Li burningly.

Lu Li smiled slightly: "A Xinghe treant needs three times the energy stones of the Iris in full state every month. Gentlemen, tell me first, how to solve the problem of energy stones?"

A group of poor ghosts: "..."

As long as you are not stupid, everyone knows the value of Xinghe Shuren. The problem is that Lu Li is already poor, and he really has no spare energy to support another big household that eats energy.

He glanced at everyone regretfully, and said: "Liao Kai connected with the general to see if the general is willing to take in this Xinghe Shuren."

After 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 3 minutes passed, Liao Kai reported dejectedly: "The general refuses to answer my connection."

The crowd around immediately lowered their heads like ostriches, wishing they could bury them in the floor.Everyone knows the reason why the general doesn't pick up their connection. Every time people from the first combat team come to the general for one purpose - to borrow money, the general is also afraid.

"Use the terminal on this starship to connect, remember to encrypt it." Lu Li remained calm, completely forgetting that he was the one who borrowed the most.

This time, it took only ten seconds for the terminal to be connected, and an old man with a benevolent face and a bear nightcap appeared on the virtual light screen in the room.

The old man glanced and was about to turn off the light screen immediately.Lu Li was on guard against his move, and said before turning off the screen, "Repay the money."

A group of people: "..."
