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

Chapter 104: Opening a Wormhole Channel
After confirming that they were on the other side of the wormhole, the Omnics and the Zerg were almost wiped out together, with only the high-level combat forces of both sides still fighting. The remaining ordinary forces were few in number and were no match for the Combined Fleet.

Michelle was thinking about whether to take advantage of the situation to seize the wormhole. Now that the main force of the intelligent machines had left, the battlefield outside the star system was a life-and-death battle. They were almost destroying three star systems, and the remaining combat force was only some high-end level seven combat forces. After losing the support of conventional troops, they posed no fatal threat to large-scale fleets, so it was just right to seize the wormhole.

In just a moment of thinking, two more level seven fighters died and exploded. The strong energy impact tore through the void and destroyed matter. Pieces of planetary fragments thousands and tens of thousands of kilometers in size disintegrated and disappeared.

Several level seven fighters from both camps disappeared into the void, and the surviving level seven fighters were all injured. Currently, the total number of both sides is less than double digits. Both sides are fighting to the death and there is no room for retreat.

"Dispatch troops! Order the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth secondary biological fleets to march to the Tuomu Thunder Galaxy immediately!"

"Order the combined fleet to prepare for battle."

"Order the engineering fleet to prepare for the attack."

"Order the Third Special Fleet to prepare for battle."

"Order the first to tenth biological legions to attack the Tuomu Thunder Galaxy!"

……

A series of commands were passed down, and the formation of the combined fleet moved instantly. Channels appeared one after another, and the super-standard combined fleet composed of four secondary biological legions headed straight for the wormhole channel. Hundreds of biological warships plunged into the wormhole channel at a time. The flying dragon-type biological warships were mixed with bat-type, salamander-type and other models, forming small teams with complementary performance.

At the exit of the wormhole, the few remaining intelligent army corps still held their ground, even though the outer periphery was about to be completely destroyed. After losing the direct command of intelligent life serial number 03-308, the intelligent fleet was only controlled by its own intelligent center, stubbornly executing the last order issued by intelligent life serial number 03-308. If nothing unexpected happens, this mission will continue until the intelligent center is promoted to intelligent life and the fleet is completely decayed and its energy is exhausted.

Now that the biological warships have emerged from the wormhole, the two sides immediately started fighting. The flying dragon-type biological warships, with their thick skin and strong flesh, were at the forefront, using their thickest armor to take the heaviest hits. Although they were beaten into a meat paste by the cannons of the intelligent warships in an instant, they still bought time for the biological warships behind them to launch attacks.

Invisible space ripples expanded and spread in all directions like water waves, accompanied by hundreds of millions of flying creatures pouring out of the warships and flying in all directions, attracting some firepower for the arrival of subsequent biological warships.

The space ripples did not play a big role, but the appearance of the ripples caused the energy columns passing through these ripples to be invisibly consumed with some of their energy. With the appearance of subsequent biological warships, dense ripples became increasingly dense. The damage caused by the artificial intelligence fleet's naval gun attacks was significantly reduced, but the entrance to the channel was still firmly controlled. No biological warship could leave the entrance within 10,000 kilometers.

The flying creatures carried by the biological warships were flying all over the sky, spreading to both sides, and independently launching roundabout attacks on the surrounding intelligent warships in the form of small teams.

After discovering that the density of firepower would be affected by these flying creatures, the intelligent fleet immediately released millions of void fighters. The intelligent center of the intelligent warships took control of the entire situation and used the intelligent brains of several legions of warships to improve computing power and provide combat effectiveness for the void fighters.

The sky was filled with particle beams, ion ball lasers, etc., and the numbers of both sides were growing larger and larger. Except for the fact that no biological warship could survive for five seconds, the impact area of ​​the biological army was continuously expanding, and the survival time of subsequent biological warships was also increasing at a rate of 0.1 second. At the same time, the number of biological warships in combat was also increasing.

After receiving the information feedback, Michelle gained great confidence in taking the space wormhole. After reviewing the battle process, the data table clearly showed that except for the slight adjustment of the combat power of the intelligent fleet, this was the result of the excessive computing power of the intelligent center, which led to a decrease in the control over the battlefield.

This phenomenon also made Michelle understand that this intelligent machine fleet was only controlled by intelligent AI. Even though the computer technology of the intelligent machines was much stronger than theirs, it was only a level six technological battleship after all. How strong could it be? There was always a limit. For a fleet controlled by intelligent AI, the best way was to use huge amounts of computing power to drag it down.

Simply put, it is to use the number of battles to wear down the opponent, or to use special electromagnetic weapons to disrupt the quantum computers of intelligent machines, physically weaken the opponent's computing power, and thus quickly take control of the battlefield.

Michelle was not in a hurry at this time. The carrying capacity of the wormhole was limited. He could just use the small flying troops carried by the biological warships to continuously weaken the opponent through numerical interference. After the cannon fodder army had passed, he would dispatch the main combat biological army to continuously expand the living space and open up a combat window for the subsequent joint fleet.

Time passed by minute by minute, the fighting at the wormhole was fierce, and the battlefield outside the star system was also nearing its end. The Void Zerg was ultimately lacking in stamina. Although the queen's hive was powerful, its greatest mental advantage was ineffective here with the intelligent armed forces, which reduced its combat effectiveness. The intelligent armed forces seized the opportunity to rush to the edge of the hive and self-destruct, taking away several level seven Zergs who had hurried back to protect the queen along with the queen.

The insect nest was shattered into billions of pieces and scattered all over the sky, and was rushed towards the depths of the void at sub-light speed under the influence of the energy shock wave that bloomed like a star.

With this advance, the remaining four hives immediately wanted to retreat to a safe distance, and at the same time let the level 7 insects desperately entangle the intelligent mechanical weapons. However, how could the intelligent mechanical weapons, which had already made calculations, let them do as they wished?

Flashes of light shone one after another in the void, and the energy shock waves caused by the self-explosion formed energy tides that washed towards the surrounding void. Under the continuous high-energy impact, the star in the middle of the battlefield finally couldn't withstand the accumulated energy, and a stellar storm broke out. One solar prominence after another shot up into the sky, impacting the void tens of millions of kilometers away. A large amount of stellar matter went into the void along with the shock wave, destroying the surrounding planets and other debris into plasma.

The originally prosperous and bustling star system now only has one star that exploded and then slumped, and it is now rotating alone in the void. The three stars are causing the collapse of their respective planetary systems, and their gravity is also disrupted. The originally balanced gravitational system has changed its orbit due to the huge gap in the masses of the various star systems, which in turn leads to a series of unstable star explosions.

The Omnics and the Zerg were almost destroyed together, with only a half-crippled queen surviving with two equally scarred level seven Zergs. After absorbing a little void energy to repair itself, it prepared to rush to the wormhole entrance to reunite with an unknown Zerg swarm and obtain resources from them to recover.

But when the queen with only half of the hive left came to the wormhole with two worms, they discovered through optical images that the ones fighting against the intelligent machines were not the Zerg, but biological weapons developed by intelligent creatures. But it was too late to leave at this time. The intelligent center of the intelligent fleet had already locked them. Except for one legion that continued to fight with the biological warships at the entrance of the wormhole, the remaining legions turned around and hammered at the hive. From the planetary fortress cannon energy columns hundreds of meters thick to the cruiser-class battleship cannons more than ten meters thick, hundreds of thousands of energy columns filled the void, and the intelligent special warships hiding inside the fleet also opened fire simultaneously, and strange green beams mixed in the cannon energy columns hit the broken hive.

The void in the space had already been blocked by the intelligent machines, and no forced jump could be made in the surrounding area within half a light-time. The layers of various blocking force fields and interference force fields were like a big net that blocked the void. Although the level seven combat power was not afraid of this, they were now scarred and lacked energy and could not afford to consume it, so they could only avoid the bombardment by entering sub-light speed through conventional movement.

After Michelle on the other side of the wormhole discovered that some bugs had attracted a large amount of firepower and computing power from the intelligent fleet, he did not choose to take action immediately. The bugs still had level seven combat power, and they were too far away to detect the opponent's strength. It was not a good idea to act rashly at this time. The correct choice was to reap the benefits while sitting back. However, he was also ready to send the main fleet to attack at any time.

While the battle in the wormhole space was in full swing, Luo Shaohua on the other side of the galaxy was also ready to open the wormhole. A huge assembly device was floating in the void between several star systems. The internal antimatter reactor had been gradually started up. The surging energy poured into the equipment along the energy pipeline. The void was lit up with white light, forming huge and shining halos. Several blue-white space energy columns were shot out and went straight to the positioned space nodes.

Correspondingly, in the combined fleet area, the same wormhole opening device was doing the same thing. The densely packed warships around it turned their guns and aimed at the wormhole opening point to prevent accidents.

At the positioned coordinate point, the space energy column exploded violently, breaking the void interlayer. The two space energies linked together along the space veins, and then formed a space channel. With the subsequent stable supply of energy, the space wormhole continued to widen until it formed a wormhole channel with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers. It gradually stabilized, the opening equipment gradually extinguished, and then decomposed itself, flew to the wormhole location, stopped at the edge of the wormhole, and continued to transport space energy to the wormhole to stabilize the wormhole channel to ensure that it would not suddenly collapse.

Liu Wen looked at the impact and data of the real-time broadcast. He did not expect that the wormhole would be successfully opened for the first time. No accidents occurred during the process, and there was not even any abnormal spatial fluctuation in the channel.

"Did I underestimate the level of space technology in the territory? Didn't the research institute say it was very unstable? And they told me that the current wormhole opening equipment is an unstable large bomb. Are they trying to use this to defraud research funds?"

Liu Wen, who was secretly thinking that the research institute might have defrauded funds, didn't know that the space researchers who were also paying close attention to the opening of the wormhole were also very surprised.

As R&D personnel, they know exactly what this equipment looks like. In previous tests, they conducted more than 1,300 opening tests, with a total of more than 1,100 explosions. More than 100 opening attempts failed, and only less than 20 attempts were successful. Those were all short-distance tests. After the tests, the wormhole collapsed because the equipment could not maintain the channel for a long time.

Now this one-time success made them, who were already accustomed to failure, feel a little uncomfortable. Looking at the test data transmitted back, they were a little confused for a moment and couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Luo Shaohua didn't care about all that. After confirming that the wormhole channel could be used, he immediately asked the alien civilization that had been ready to send the mining fleet over. A long dragon of tens of millions of kilometers soon formed at the wormhole entrance. One engineering ship after another and transport ships were ready to enter the wormhole channel to go to the Tuomu Thunder Galaxy to mine resources.

All civilizations in the universe have one thing in common, that is, if they can use resources outside their territory, they would not use their own. Just like hamsters, they would take resources home and store them if they have the conditions, for fear that they would not have them in the future.

The current exchange is also caused by the stronger external demand. After all, the territory is small and the resources are unevenly distributed. In the past, due to the inability to trade, they had to work with the resources they had, which made the technology somewhat deviated. Until the establishment of the joint fleet and the opening up of trade, the previously scarce resources could be exchanged through commerce, and many technologies that were stuck due to resources also blossomed at this time.

The advancement of science and technology has in turn driven the demand for resources, thus forming a cycle. The gradually increasing demand for resources has forced them to increase their desire for expansion. They need more abundant and cheaper resource output to ensure the stability of the development of civilization.

This is also the reason why these alien races are willing to take such great risks to dismantle the star system. Stars cannot be moved, but planets, whether solid planets or gas planets, are all resources. At most, they just need to go through a few more processes.

Dozens of legions carried out the cleanup and exploration, and the distribution of resources in the dozen or so surrounding star systems was basically explored clearly. Although there were no high-level resources, there was no shortage of ordinary metal resources.

The widespread traces of excavation in the star system indicate that some of the high-level materials originally possessed were probably dug away by the intelligent machines. The intelligent civilization that has ruled the Tuomu Thunder Galaxy for decades will certainly not let go of the most valuable resources, otherwise where would so many level seven combat-capable weapons and core components of various fortresses come from.

Fortunately, their location is just at the edge of the galaxy. Neither the Void Zerg nor the Intelligent Civilization pay much attention to resource-poor areas, so the joint fleet's resource collection went very smoothly.

After several times of violently decomposing planets, Luo Shaohua also understood that it was not that there were no high-level resources in these star systems, but they were buried too deep that even the intelligent machines were too lazy to dig them up. Or perhaps, although they possessed abundant resources within the galaxies, they had not yet reached the point where they needed to blow up planets to obtain high-level resources. Only the Combined Fleet, which was about to fall into a resource crisis, would be so reckless. After all, it was not their territory, so they might as well get it first.

At the entrance of the wormhole, the queen worm, who was beaten and fleeing in panic by the omnic fleet, was also furious. She originally thought that after rushing over to help her friendly forces take over the wormhole, she could get a large amount of resources to repair the nest and cultivate the swarm. As a result, due to the distance and blockage, she mistook the biological warships of the intelligent creatures as friendly forces, resulting in them being surrounded and intercepted by several omnic legions while they were badly wounded.

Knowing that they would not be able to escape if they continued like this, the Queen simply took two seriously injured level seven bugs and started a battle with the Robot Legion.

Level seven combat power is still level seven combat power after all. Even if the combat power is severely reduced due to injuries, the mobility is still the same and the combat experience is also rich.

Therefore, after finding the right time to move out, the Queen Beetle plunged into the interior of the intelligent machine army and wreaked havoc. Although the intelligent center of the intelligent machine fleet was also trying to save the situation, its number was limited after all, and it lacked weapons to fight against the seventh-level combat power. Therefore, although it also brought a lot of damage to the Queen Beetle and the two seventh-level bugs, the losses of its own army were much more serious.

Seeing that the time had come, Michelle decisively ordered the main fleet to join the battle and rush into the wormhole channel towards the opposite side.
