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

Chapter 39 Defeat the Pirates and Sell the SubspaceChapter 39 Defeat the Pirates and Sell the Subspace
”Fusion rocket unit ready, fire coverage, fire a million rockets at once.”

”Xinghai Headquarters Fleet opens fire, carrying out long-range targeted elimination.”

”Activate the deceleration force field, deflection force field, and energy shock scatterer.”

”Defense system number one activated, providing uninterrupted fire coverage.”

……

Under the firepower of both sides, asteroids in the asteroid belt exploded and meteorites were annihilated. Energy columns tens of meters thick formed a blue light band. The orange-yellow particle beams and the bright white ion beams complemented each other. The energy particles that collided and dissipated formed an energy tide, which rolled up hundreds of millions of meteorites and bloomed with colorful splendor, spreading like a wave.

Under the fierce firepower coverage of the Black Dragon Pirates’ fleet, the frigate-class battleships and destroyer-class battleships that were escorting on the outer periphery were submerged in the waves in an instant.

After a series of attacks, the Black Dragon Pirates gradually turned the tide of the battle with their advantage in firepower quality.

The outer warships targeted and cleared the defensive turrets. The No. 1 defense system was immediately hit hard, and the asteroid turrets were destroyed in large numbers. The alien warships hidden behind the asteroids were also targeted by the Black Dragon Pirates’ main battleships. The wreckage of the exploded warships floated in the void, and was turned into more fragmented debris under the firepower of both sides.

Luo Shaohua narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the battlefield projection, his brain working rapidly, the movement of warships, the adjustment of firepower priority, controlling every detail.

Shirley assisted from the side, breaking down his orders into details and passing them on. With the tacit cooperation between the two, the Star Fleet headquarters has not suffered much damage so far. At least no warships have been sunk. The only damage was the destruction of alien fleets in large numbers.

The pirate fleet grew larger and more powerful, and its counterattack firepower did not seem like something a temporary fleet could produce, except for problems with coordination at the beginning. The mutual transfer and cover of the warships and the firepower connection and transfer all showed that the warship drivers had first-class skills and were integrated so quickly that it seemed as if they graduated from the same academy, with the same cognition, technology, and strong obedience.

As the enemy was fighting smoothly, the Star Fleet naturally had to endure even stronger firepower. The low-level warships of the alien fleet at the front were quickly wiped out, and they had to retreat to the No. 2 defense system and use the asteroid turrets to resist the enemy’s firepower.

”Commander, we can retreat now.” Shirley judged that the situation on the battlefield was irreversible. Leaving the alien fleet as a cover, the Star Sea headquarters fleet could safely retreat back to the subspace to defend and wait for the out-of-bounds fleet to return.

Luo Shaohua shook his head and pointed at the projection and said, ”Look at the battlefield situation. The opponent’s warships’ mobility is hardly affected by the deceleration field. They cooperate with each other more and more tacitly, and their firepower crosses and covers each other. Look at their combat skills. Do you feel familiar?”

Shirley’s eyes lit up: ”Third Military Academy?”

”Yes!” Luo Shaohua smiled slightly on his pale face: ”They are old rivals, so I plan to give them a surprise, maybe it will work wonders.”

Shirley thought about another aspect. The Third Military Academy was also called the aristocratic school, not because the students were aristocrats, but because the school directors were all aristocrats. After graduation, most of the students would become employees of these school directors.

In this case, it seems that it is only a thin layer of window paper away from revealing who their opponent is.

After sending the information she guessed to the command ship, Shirley turned around and continued to coordinate the fleet.

Luo Shaohua hesitated when the time came. After all, this was the trump card prepared by Liu Wen. Once used, no matter whether it succeeded or not, as an employee, he would definitely make a note of it to Liu Wen. If he won, it would be fine. The boss would be happy and give him a lot of rewards for career advancement. But if he lost, his position might even be moved to the back.

Looking at the battlefield projection, the situation was rapidly moving in a direction unfavorable to the Star Sea Fleet. Hundreds of warships of the alien fleet were almost completely destroyed, and only a dozen battleships were still firing.

Defense System No. 2 was close to collapse. Not to mention the asteroid turrets, almost all the asteroids in the entire battlefield area had been destroyed, and the meteorite swarms had disappeared.

Gritting his teeth, Luo Shaohua connected to the main control intelligence: ”Apply for the use of high-dimensional energy blocks in my name.”

”The applicant is Luo Shaohua, the second-level commander of the Star Fleet. The application condition is an emergency on the battlefield. The application conditions are met. The authority has been issued. Please use it with caution.”

”Huh!” Luo Shaohua took a deep breath and said to Shirley beside him, ”Go and activate the high-dimensional energy cannon yourself. I have obtained authorization. You must make sure it is a fatal blow.”

Shirley stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and ran towards the safety cabin at the rear without saying a word. She lay down and connected to the battleship’s intelligent center, obtaining permission to use weapons through her adjutant authority.

”The high-dimensional energy cannon has been activated and is beginning self-check...”

”Self-check completed, system integrity is 100%, ready for use.”

”Aim at the coordinates and direction...”

”The high-dimensional energy block has been authorized. The weapon has begun charging. The estimated completion time is eight seconds...”

”Weapon charging completed, please use with caution.”

After receiving feedback from Shirley that the weapon had been fully charged, Luo Shaohua stared at the projection on the scene with a sharp gaze: ”The alien fleet is going to attack in full force, facing the enemy ships head-on. The Star Sea Fleet is going to attack in full force, advancing on both wings, and all restraint force fields are activated to maximum load power.”

”Success or failure depends on this.” After giving the order, Luo Shaohua closed his eyes and waited for the final result.

After Shirley received the order to fire, she pressed the fire button in the virtual space without hesitation.

On the back of the Xinghai battleship, a platform rose behind a main gun. When it unfolded, two arc-shaped triangular cones were revealed. A burst of faint blue energy arcs kept flashing, and blue-purple energy surged out. The surrounding space shattered like glass under the influence of this energy, and the blue-purple energy disappeared into it.

When it reappeared, it was already in the core of the pirate fleet, the space was shattered and spread, and the blue-purple energy spread rapidly like a drop of ink dropped into a water tank. Before the pirate fleet could react, or rather, it reacted but had no time to escape, the space within the fleet’s range was shattered like glass under the firepower of the Star Fleet, the space energy was rampant, and the energy shields of the warships in it flickered sharply and were consumed in the blink of an eye.

Energy pillars hit the battleship’s armor unhindered, dissolving huge holes. Space energy took the opportunity to invade the interior of the battleship, causing the battleship to disintegrate and break apart from the inside.

Shirley returned to the command room and watched the projection of pirate warships quickly disintegrating and disappearing in the space turbulence under the destruction of space energy. More than half of the sixty pirate warships disappeared in a moment, and they were all the core of the fleet.

Especially the twenty or so level six battleships. After they disintegrated and broke apart, the pirate fleet’s counterattack firepower suddenly weakened, and the coordination between the battleships was no longer so harmonious.

”Commander, we won!” Shirley said softly.

Luo Shaohua then opened his eyes and welcomed his fate. After confirming that the main force of the pirate fleet had sunk and the remaining warships were like birds in a cage, a feeling of excitement suddenly rushed into his heart.

”Hahaha, I knew that those people from the Third Academy still wouldn’t have much resistance to the super-standard attack, haha...”

Shirley looked at Luo Shaohua with a smile. If he won the bet, his position in the Xinghai Group would be very stable, and he would also be the first choice sequence commander when the fleet expanded.

”The Third Academy, after all, couldn’t resist the reality. You lost because you played it too safe.”

The remaining pirate warships, because the core warship within the fleet formation sank, the remaining warships could not even reorganize their formation under the raging space energy impact. Faced with the tidal-like impact firepower, they were quickly annihilated in the broken asteroid belt.

”Bang!” In the study, a cup hit the table and shattered into pieces. Viscount William’s spiritual energy flames expanded violently, decomposing the surrounding objects.

”Damn it, didn’t they transfer part of their main force? Tell me, how did Oaks manage to let more than a hundred warships be destroyed by more than twenty warships?”

Viscount William simply couldn’t believe it. He had mobilized a joint fleet consisting of warships from three external fleets, but they couldn’t even take down the subspace guarded by more than 20 warships. They were completely wiped out at their doorstep, and not even a single warship escaped. Even if a group of pigs were controlling the warships, they wouldn’t be able to fight a battle of this magnitude!
In the middle of the study, a middle-aged man in butler’s clothes and with his hair combed meticulously stood expressionlessly. His expression did not change at all when facing the furious William.

”Sir, no information has been transmitted back yet, and our insiders have remained silent. In addition, Lord Reitz just sent a message that someone is inquiring about the whereabouts of the graduates of the Third Military Academy.”

William paused for a moment and roared, ”What do you mean? If someone is investigating, no one will stop them? What do they want to do? Should I be abandoned to please a citizen of the Shangxia Republic?”

It is no secret now that Liu Wen has obtained citizenship of the Shangxia Republic. He himself holds the title of Lord of the Blue River Empire. After obtaining citizenship, this title was automatically cancelled. Through this, the dignitaries of Mengshen Star easily guessed the whereabouts of Liu Wen and others, but they were powerless and could only watch them leave.

Just two days ago, the military attaché of the Shangxia Republic’s diplomat to the Blue River Empire had a conversation with Rez, in which he talked about the friendly relations and harmonious development aspirations of the two countries. He also pointed out the contributions made by the citizens of the Shangxia Republic to the economic development of the Blue River Empire. He almost pointed out directly that we have protected Liu Wen, so you guys should not interfere.

As for the competition in the second world, the Shangxia Republic will not interfere. This is the principle of competition jointly promoted by human nations. Human civilization needs pioneers, and how can pioneers succeed without certain abilities?

No matter how you gain the strength to apply for a development order, the Human Federation will recognize and issue a development order, allowing you to expand territory outside the border. If you succeed, all your past deeds will be written off. If you lose, even if you don’t come back, all your past deeds will be written off. If you come back, come here, that’s the military court, and this is the civil court. Which one do you want to go to first?
That is why, although the relevant departments of the Shangxia Republic knew about the situation of Liu Wenxinghai Group in the Second World, they did not care. If they had the ability, they would protect it, but if they didn’t, forget it. They were not babysitters, they were only responsible for ensuring the most basic personal safety of their citizens.

It’s a pity that Liu Wen didn’t know all this, otherwise he wouldn’t have to rush to the Shangxia Republic at all. No one would dare to do anything to him openly if he stayed on Mengshen Star.

However, given Liu Wen’s personality, even if he knew about it, he probably wouldn’t rely on the deterrent power of the Shangxia Republic for his own safety. After all, it’s impossible for you to really send troops for revenge. At most, you can only retaliate through the upper echelons of the empire.

The victory of the Star Fleet made all the dignitaries clearly understand the unfathomable power of the Star Fleet. A small fleet composed of only level six civilian warships had demonstrated the combat effectiveness of a regular fleet. Now that the subspace has been put up for auction again, a head-on confrontation will not work, so they might as well spend money to buy it.

As a result, many groups or teams that were interested in bidding watched with disappointment as the numbers on the bidding list rose rapidly every minute. Two days later, the numbers remained at 2.82 billion contribution points and did not move for a long time.

”Two billion eight hundred million contribution points! It’s just a one-light-year subspace. Who is so poor that they only have money left to spend so much money? How many years will it take to get back the money?”

”Recover the investment? If it were us, it might take dozens or even hundreds of years to recover the investment, but they don’t need it, and it will only take a dozen years at most, and the rest is all profit.”

”How to say?”

”When we get it, at best we can develop the minerals, build a smelter or something, sell psychic alloy materials, and some low-threshold equipment and machinery. But they can build dozens of psychic creation factories. With the abundant psychic environment, they can also carry out breeding and planting. With all-round development, the speed at which they make money is incomparable to you and me.”

”Damn those imperial nobles! They control all the means of production. Not only have they caught all the talented people, but they have also blocked all the high-end industries!”

……

As time passed, when Liu Wen entered the territory of Shangxia Republic, the auction time arrived and the transaction price was fixed at 3.176 billion. After deducting the auction fees, Liu Wen received more than 2.7 billion contribution points.

Compared with the true value of the Zerg subspace, it is definitely lower, but for Liu Wen, the cash in hand is the real income.

More than two billion contribution points, half of which were invested in the Sera Industrial Zone. The shipyard factory obtained the latest equipment for maintenance and repair, mineral materials were continuously sent into it, hundreds of thousands of factory production lines were started, and warships from the previous era were assembled in the shipyard.

Due to the differences in the times, the warships produced have various equipment that are better or worse than today’s equipment. Those that can be replaced will be replaced directly, and those that cannot be replaced will be included in the reinforcement list, waiting for the establishment of the scientific research institute to start research and development.
