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

Chapter 82 Technological ExplosionChapter 82 Technological Explosion

Zhao Nina’s guess was not wrong. Those who had not conquered their own territory, whether they had just arrived at the star field or had been here for a while, the pioneers who were interested in renting star systems did not have sufficient funds.

Therefore, the Rose Fleet was one of the seven pioneering teams that came to rent the space. What surprised Anna was that the Rose Fleet’s warships did not even have the fifth-level Weiwu-class battleships. Except for a small number of sixth-level battleships, most of them were actually fifth-level alien warships. The overall combat power was not comparable to that of the conventional pioneering fleet, and even if it fought against the fifth-level alien fleet that was pioneering the star field, the probability of defeat would be greater.

They are very different from the warships of the Rose Fleet. They are a group of rich people, or they have a lot of valuable things. The psychic alloy forged from psychic materials is a special material for psychic warships.

Liu Wen looked at the Thorn Birds, who was brought in by his secretary in a tight suit, and his face was quite surprised: ”I didn’t expect that Paradise Island was bombed, but you are still alive!”

The Thornbird smiled and sat down in front of Liu Wen and asked, ”Are you surprised?”

Liu Wen nodded and handed over a glass of Fire Snake Wine: ”Try it, it’s made from the Fire Snake Fruit I grew myself.”

The thornbird took the wine glass and drank generously. After looking at Liu Wen, he said, ”I really can’t believe that you, who just bought a gunboat, became a landlord in the pioneering star field a few years later. By the way, can the rent be cheaper? It’s too expensive to collect 10 billion rent for a star system a year.”

Liu Wen smiled and shook his head: ”Although the resources cannot be mined, collecting stellar energy and the surrounding alien races is enough for you to make back your investment, so don’t even think about lowering the price. I’m still waiting for the rent to start construction.”

The Thornbirds shrugged indifferently. She had just said it casually and had no real intention of bargaining with him.

”I came here this time to buy warships from you. You know the situation of the Rose Team’s warships. We need a large number of Level 6 Guardian-class warships to replace them. You should give me some discount for an order of tens of thousands of warships, right?”

Liu Wen nodded: ”That’s no problem. Since we are old acquaintances, it’s only right to give a discount. But how are you going to pay?”

The thornbird raised his eyebrows, reached out from the deep ravine and took out a thin small square, placed it on the table and pushed it towards Liu Wen: ”How about using this, is it worth your discount?”

Liu Wen picked up the material, looked at it, and pinched it with his right hand. The material, which was several millimeters thick, only deformed slightly, and quickly returned to its original shape after he let go.

”It seems that you have emptied out the hidden warehouse of a certain civilization, and you were able to get even this kind of high-grade psychic alloy material.”

After thinking for a while, he said, ”The Interstellar Alliance’s recycling price is 13,540 contribution points per cubic meter. How about I add 1,000 points?”

The Thorn Birds smiled and looked at Liu Wen drinking his wine without saying anything.

Liu Wen played with the materials in his hand: ”If it exceeds one million cubic meters, add another thousand points for each cubic meter.”

”Happy cooperation!” The Thornbird said with a smile as he stretched out his hand.

”It’s a pleasure working with you. If you have more to sell, feel free to come to me.” Liu Wen shook hands with the other party.

”Sure.” The Thornbird smiled and left, following the secretary to the Ministry of Commerce to discuss the transaction details and sign the purchase contract.

Liu Wen watched the other party leave, leaned back in his chair and looked at the materials in his hand again: ”Special materials for advanced psychic warships, it seems that they definitely have a lot of them. More than 10,000 warships, almost 600 billion contribution points of materials, which means they have more than 4 million cubic meters.”

”Tsk tsk, as expected, lucky people are everywhere. Maybe they inherited the last spark of that civilization, and they have all the resources, materials, and technological knowledge. If they weren’t space pirates, I’m afraid they wouldn’t have been able to bring these materials out and would have been exchanged for funds to strengthen the fleet.”

He took a deep breath and told himself that this was not something to be envied. He was the luckiest one. The territory had been established, and there were seven more legions of friendly forces nearby to protect the territory. Now it was time to witness the miracle of development.

Half a month later, when Mo Yan returned to the Xinghai Territory with the immigration fleet, the seven pioneering fleets of the leased star system had now begun to build their own temporary territories. Various buildings such as space stations, docks, space cities, and ground cities sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, especially on the three transformed planets. Although they could not be fully developed and used due to the restrictions of the lease treaty, the usable parts were also covered by isolation force fields.

Large-scale renovation is in progress. Most of the work has been contracted to Fat Blue’s logistics department, which not only sells materials and equipment but also does the construction and decoration work. Fat Blue smiles like Maitreya Buddha when he sees that the logistics department has some income.

Mo Yan and Jack hired a shipping company to use 300 immigration ships to transport back 3 billion immigrants, with a cost of 10 million contribution points each time. The Xinghai Territory dispatched its own escort fleet throughout the journey.

There are still 27 billion people waiting to be transported back, which means that Liu Wen will have to pay 100 million contribution points for shipping costs alone, not to mention the cost of using the escort fleet.

With the arrival of three billion immigrants, positions in various departments were quickly filled. Among these three billion people, there were people that Mo Yan had originally recruited for certain positions, and under the leadership of the old employees, they quickly got into work.

Because the transformation of the planets in the Xinghai star system has not been completed, this group of people have been temporarily placed in space cities and surface cities. The civil affairs department gives them the freedom to choose between Nixia space, Bonucci star field, and staying in the Xinghai star system.

Most of them chose to stay in the Xinghai star system. As immigrants to the pioneering star field and people from the second world, they knew very well that staying in the territory’s capital star system was the best option in the pioneering star field, as it was more secure and reliable and brought better development dividends.

As the population increased, the administrative structure of the Star Sea Territory gradually expanded, and the recruitment of crew members also began simultaneously.

The third legion is about to take shape, and its organization will be under the Second Legion of the Star Sea Fleet, with Luo Shaohua as the commander.

The fourth legion will be assigned to the Galaxy Fleet, but the selection of the commander is still a problem. There is no suitable new commander yet. At least the existing fleet commanders have not shown the same growth potential as Michelle and the other two, and none of them passed the mock exam.

In order to recruit suitable corps commanders and supporting leadership teams, the Human Union Office has long posted recruitment advertisements and actively contacted the military academy of the Shangxia Republic, hoping to recruit some suitable candidates. After handling immigration affairs, Liu Wen was finally able to go to the Bonucci Star Region, where he had not yet officially seen the rewards.

Hundreds of transport ships took off from the Xinghai star system under the escort of warships and headed towards the Bonucci star field.

A few days later, the fleet bypassed the alien territory and skipped the battlefield ruins to arrive at the Bonucci star system. Bai Haitang brought the fleet to the void outside the star field to greet them. After the two fleets reunited, they returned to the star system.

”My lord, we have completed the exploration of the Bonucci Industrial Zone. It has a total diameter of one hundred light years and fifteen star systems. We have found the remains of an original civilization inside. Investigations have revealed that amid the destruction and civil war, the technology was well preserved and the resources were abundant. Unfortunately, the life planet was destroyed in the civil war and turned into ruins. The ecological chain collapsed, and it will take a lot of investment to restore it.” Bai Haitang reported to Liu Wenhui.

Liu Wen doesn’t care much about the situation of the life planet. As long as the life planet in the subspace is not completely destroyed, it is much easier to restore it than to transform the planet.

”How is the collection of scientific and technological information going?” Liu Wen asked.

Zhu Jianqiao, who came with Bai Haitang to greet them, quickly replied: ”The biotechnology of the Bonucci Empire and the native civilization technology of the Bonucci Industrial Zone have been collected and are currently being sorted out. According to the comparison of existing data, biotechnology has a driving effect on our scientific and technological data. After absorption and digestion, our biotechnology can be pushed to the peak of level six.”

”In addition, physical technology and energy technology can also be used as reference, which is enough to make the territory’s technology rise a lot in the sixth-level civilization.”

”Very good, President Zhu. The Academy of Sciences has tens of billions of research funds every year. I hope you can digest and absorb them as quickly as possible, and then bring forth new ideas and upgrade the territory’s industrial system.” Liu Wen said with satisfaction.

Zhu Jianqiao quickly said, ”Lord, the research institute is currently short of staff, and we need to continue to recruit more researchers.”

”Then you go and recruit. You don’t need to tell me about this. You can go find Li Bingzhen and let him arrange it for you. Scientific research is the core of the territory. Without scientific and technological power, our territory will always be just an ordinary territory in expanding the star field. Do you understand?” Liu Wen reminded.

Zhu Jianqiao nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

Thousands of warships of the fleet rushed to the entrance of the space channel of the Bonucci Industrial Zone. The warships stopped and waited, while the transport ships and engineering ships continued to move forward.

This time, Liu Wen brought a set of the latest assembly modules of the space smelting and forging plant, as well as a number of core production equipment and a set of Laura’s special computing core to carry her split sub-bodies. Compared with humans controlling everything, Liu Wen actually prefers to believe in Laura as an intelligent life.

The spacecraft circled around a dozen star systems in the industrial zone and finally stopped at star system No. 2 next to the life star system. This is the core of the industrial zone prepared by Liu Wen. Except for star system No. 1 of the life star system, the remaining thirteen star systems will become industrial zones to establish a set of industrial production systems and scientific research areas.

After all, the Sera Industrial Zone has limited space and scarce resources, and needs to transport resources from the outside world to maintain production. However, the Bonucci Industrial Zone does not need this. The resources it contains are enough to last for more than ten years. Coupled with the resources transported from the outside world, it will be no problem to build hundreds of legion fleets after creating an industrial system.

Bai Haitang looked at the construction site where the cargo had already been unloaded and assembled by the engineering ship and said, ”Lord, so far, there are a total of 389 psychic material deposits that have been explored. It is estimated that the psychic minerals have reached hundreds of billions of cubic meters, but the total value is less than 2 trillion. The psychic concentration in this subspace is a bit low.”

Liu Wen was very satisfied with the result. After all, he got it for free. The scientific and technological information, subspace, and mineral resources, the total price has exceeded 10 trillion contribution points. Although the overall value is comparable to the Bonucci star field, this was given for free by the big boss of the Asgard, and he didn’t know how long it would take to earn it by himself. Why should he be unsatisfied?

”From now on, your Galaxy Fleet will be stationed here permanently. After the industrial production line is built, the first task will be to build warships and various weapons facilities.”

Liu Wen said to Bai Haitang: ”You have to start recruiting and training the relevant crew members now. With the current industrial capacity, it won’t take long to build a production line. It is expected that we will have the production capacity to build a corps in three months within this year.”

”My goal is to have ten corps each for the Xinghai and Xinghe armies, plus three additional garrison corps, for a total of twenty-three corps. It is expected to be completed in two years.”

”Build a fleet of twenty-one legions in two years?” Bai Haitang looked at Liu Wen in surprise.

”Yes, the existing industrial production capacity has to be increased several times to achieve this goal. However, we are not short of resources and funds now. What we lack is qualified fleet commanders.” Liu Wen got angry when he talked about this. The Xinghai Territory is now famous for its development of star fields, but why can’t it recruit capable commanders? Graduates of military academies always need to fight a few battles to train themselves, so there is no way to provide emergency help.

A few people went to the life planet after the ecological destruction and took a walk around. This planet suffered a severe blow in the civil war. Half of the atmosphere was cut off, there were potholes everywhere on the ground, the mountains were broken, the radiation value in the sea exceeded the standard, the deep forest was destroyed and mutant plants were rampant. It would take some effort to rebuild it. Fortunately, the foundation was still there. After cleaning up some radiation and filling the atmosphere, it could be revived within a few hundred years even if it was left alone.

Back on the flagship, Liu Wen asked Bai Haitang about the exploration of the void around him.

Bai Haitang replied: ”The reconnaissance ships I sent out have explored as far as a thousand light years away, and so far have not found any alien forces. This is not normal. A few years ago, many of the alien forces that attacked Area B entered the galaxy from this direction, but now there is nothing to be found.”

”I have deployed tens of thousands of detectors, warning radars, and space jamming equipment around the area, which is enough to ensure that the territory can receive enemy information in advance.”

Liu Wen said: ”We must continue to increase our exploration efforts. We know too little about the void outside the galaxy, and our current strength is too weak. Only by being cautious can we survive this dangerous period.”

The next day, Liu Wen rushed to the research ship to check. Zhu Jianqiao explained to him with a smile: ”My Lord, the Biological Research and Development Department has recently gained enough knowledge about the biological warship technology of the Bonucci Empire. When editing the data, they found that as long as we fully absorb some of the biological technology of the Bonucci Empire, our territory will usher in an era of technological explosion.”

”And the lack of troops in the territory can be supplemented by biological warships as regular troops. In addition, biological warships have the advantage of mass production and deployment. Although they cannot match the production speed of the Void Zerg, their combat effectiveness is not lagging behind among the sixth-level civilizations.”

Liu Wen felt quite satisfied when he heard this. Biological civilization is also a mainstream direction in the universe. If the territory can blaze a trail in biotechnology, then the diversified development of the territory will not be wrong.
