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

Chapter 116: The reinforcements that only last for three seconds
"Tianhe Division 1 has received the message. Our division will cover the fleet's return to the Joint Headquarters in one hour. Please hold your position!" Li Wenge, the director of Tianhe Division 1, was not at all surprised that the Joint Fleet Headquarters was hit by special operations, but he was more cautious about the appearance of high-level psychics.

In order to prevent the enemy from attacking again, Li Wenge sent a team back to the United Headquarters. With high-level psychics piloting psychic warships to guard them, even ordinary saints would not be able to quietly approach the United Headquarters and launch an attack within ten light years. This would also allow them to react and rescue in time.

After receiving the response from Tianhe Division 1, Liu Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to assist Xu Zemin in treating the wounded and reorganizing the headquarters.

Due to the loss of more than 90% of the manpower and the sudden deaths of tens of millions of people, all departments of the Joint Headquarters were paralyzed, and a large number of facilities were destroyed. The continuous explosions were like fireworks during the New Year without interruption.

Fortunately, the backup mechanical equipment under the emergency procedure was still in operation. All the rioters were captured first, and then engineering robots were dispatched to repair the damaged equipment and restore the command system.

Liu Wen also urgently transferred a few engineering ships and other auxiliary ships from the rear to clear the wreckage and repair facilities.

"Commander, the existing defense line is no longer effective. A large number of defense equipment are damaged. Continuing to use it would only waste the remaining resources." Xu Zemin sat down next to Liu Wen with a tired look and said to Liu Wen who was still dealing with affairs.

"It's too late to replenish the weapons. The relevant weapons of each territory have been emptied. Now we can only withdraw the few outer defense lines and withdraw the equipment to replenish the few inner defense lines." Liu Wen naturally knew what the defense system structure had been destroyed by his firepower. The only good news was that the defense system was not integrated enough because the defense equipment was too messy and there were not many human-controlled parts, so the defense line was not completely destroyed.

By robbing Peter to pay Paul, they can at least put together a few lines of defense, but it is impossible to restore the previous firepower density and damage intensity.

And because there are too few engineering ships and they have to clean up the internal debris, the work efficiency is low.

Now we can only withdraw the best batch first, and some facilities such as space fortresses that can move autonomously will be repaired and then retreated on their own, so as to reduce the workload of engineering ships and transport ships as much as possible.

"The most urgent task is to restore the command system and the protection system. Now, due to the invasion of an unknown psychic, a large number of energy shield generators, force field generators and other auxiliary equipment have been damaged. We are now defenseless. Anyone can take us down in one go."

The emergency personnel had not arrived yet, so Liu Wen and Xu Zemin could only cooperate with the intelligent center to mobilize engineering robots to replace those auxiliary equipment and restart the protection system as soon as possible to ensure their own safety before restoring the command system structure.

"By the way, how is Yang Zhenshan?" Liu Wen asked.

While working, Xu Zemin replied, "I sent him to the medical cabin. The test results showed that he was in a deep sleep due to the exhaustion of his spiritual power. He needs some time to recover. Fortunately, his life is not in danger."

"I'm glad that there's no danger to his life. If he hadn't fought for his life this time, the two of us would probably have ended up like those crew members outside. With our authority, we might not even be able to piece together a complete set of parts from the bodies." Liu Wen was really scared. With their authority, although the entire joint headquarters would not be self-destructed, the extent of the losses would certainly be much more serious than it is now. At the very least, the entire command system and this fortress would be destroyed.

"We both owe him a favor." Xu Zemin was quite open-minded about this. From the moment he chose to step into the star field exploration, he had been prepared to die in the starry sky. On the battlefield, as a high-level combat force, Yang Zhenshan himself had the responsibility to protect the headquarters, which was also his obligation as a fellow soldier. So in his opinion, he definitely owed a favor, but it would not rise to the level of a life-saving grace.

Liu Wen did not comment on this, saying that this is a difference in personal opinions and there is no need to argue about it.

The two worked and chatted at the same time to cover up the shadow of war and alleviate the anxiety caused by the possible adverse consequences caused by accidents at the headquarters.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you a question. How is it that you, the veteran pioneer lords with decades or even hundreds of years of experience, don't even have a level seven combat capability? Level seven technology is too difficult, but you should be able to train a level seven psychic, right?" Liu Wen asked something that had always puzzled him. Among the hundreds of lords under his command, there was not a single one who had a high-level psychic. This was not normal at all.

According to common sense, if there is no shortage of resources, sixth-level psychics can even be trained in large numbers and formed into a legion.

Even if the probability of being promoted to a high-level psychic is very low, one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, there will definitely be no one.

Xu Zemin looked at him in confusion: "You don't know?"

"Know what? Is there any inside story?" Liu Wen asked puzzledly.

"I have trained some high-level psychics, but because we don't have level seven technology, they need to be sent to the Human Alliance for further training. So far, our group of lords who came to open up the star field after the total war cannot produce high-level combat power. After all, without the theoretical knowledge of level seven technology, high-level psychics who cannot exert high-level combat power are only a little stronger than level six psychics." Xu Zemin explained.

"I see. But it shouldn't be the case that there hasn't been a single person returning from their studies for decades, right?" Liu Wen finally understood the source of the misery of these lords who didn't have seventh-level technological information. It's not that high-level psychics can't be trained, but their realm can be cultivated but their combat power cannot, because they don't have the technical foundation.

Xu Zemin said helplessly, "You don't think that the Human Union teaches the seventh-level technology theory for free, right? All those who go to study need to serve in the Human Union fleet for a period of time and accumulate enough merits before they can return to the territory."

"After learning the knowledge, do you want to upgrade your weapons? Do you need resources for cultivation? If you have more ideas, you can also build psychic warships, etc. These all require merits to exchange."

"The Human Alliance can only accept half of the merits provided by the territory, and individuals must be responsible for the other half, so usually they can't come back for dozens or hundreds of years."

After Liu Wen understood the reason, he could only give a thumbs up to the Human Union's approach. The vast territory provides a large number of high-level combat forces to the Human Union, and some of them will remain directly within the Human Union system. It can be said that the greatest benefits are obtained at the lowest cost.

This made him very glad that he didn't have to worry about cultivating a high-level combat force and giving it to the human alliance. He already had a complete set of level seven technology system, and could completely cultivate it into a qualified high-level combat force.

There will inevitably be a transition period of dozens or even hundreds of years, and during such a long period of time, it is very likely that he will master the ninth-level technology, so there is no need to worry about not having any technology to teach high-level psychics.

After this battle, according to the intensity of the war and the strength of the enemies killed, at least we can get a set of level eight technology. The only thing that is difficult now is that the efficiency of scientific research in the territory is still too low. We cannot digest the ready-made technology there, and it needs more time to settle and develop.

Liu Wen urgently hoped that the war would end soon, giving him thirty to fifty years of quiet development time. During this time, his territory's technology would be able to fully master the existing technology tree and push the territory to the level it should be.

While the two were busy repairing things on the half-sunken giant ship of the United Headquarters, the front-line fleet had already entered the defense circle set up in advance by the United Headquarters in batches.

But when this group of ships, which were dragged back to the headquarters by the engineering fleet, transport fleet and logistics fleet, saw the defense circle of the joint headquarters that seemed to have been bombarded by a large number of naval guns, everyone felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts, making it difficult to breathe. Although everyone had learned from their superiors that the joint headquarters had suffered heavy losses due to the attack, everyone still had a fluke mentality in their hearts. After all, the joint headquarters' external combat capability was indeed not strong, but the defense force built up over the years should not have suffered much damage. If there was such a powerful enemy that could destroy the defense circle of the joint headquarters in a short time, then their ordinary fleet should be the first target of attack.

But reality slapped them hard in the face. The wreckage in the sky almost blocked their vision. The turrets on the defense points were blown to pieces. The few surviving defense weapons were still being hit by the large amount of wreckage, causing the energy shield to flicker continuously, as if it would go out at any time.

When this mixed fleet arrived at the defense circle of the joint headquarters, the team dispatched by Tianhe Unit 1 also arrived at the same time, or in other words, they escorted the mixed fleet back to each other.

The ten psychic battleships of the Psychic Battleship Squadron dispersed after arriving and conducted an exploration around the joint headquarters. Strong psychic and mental fluctuations swept across the void. They were checking whether there were any enemies taking the opportunity to infiltrate the headquarters area, and they were also deterring the enemy in this way. We are here, either leave or fight!

The return of this mixed fleet also made Liu Wen and Xu Zemin feel relieved. A large number of engineering ships and transport ships were mobilized by the two of them, which greatly accelerated the speed of clearing the wreckage. The dismantling of the outer defense weapons also made obvious progress.

"Tianhe Division 103 Squadron reports that no trace of the enemy has been found in the Joint Headquarters star field. Please give instructions!"

"Please carry out alert patrols to ensure that no unknown enemies sneak into the headquarters area to attack the logistics troops." Liu Wen felt both regretful and relieved when he heard that no enemy was found. No enemy meant that the only logistics troops could avoid casualties, and he felt unbalanced for not being able to retaliate.

Xu Zemin suggested: "Now that Tianhe's psychic warships are patrolling, the safety of the headquarters can be basically guaranteed. We should speed up the progress. I suggest moving some industrial equipment from the surrounding territories here to improve the logistics supply capacity and make up for the existing losses. This way, the fleet can hold out longer."

"It's not that I haven't thought about this plan, but it's impossible. The previous complete-scale logistics system was unable to quickly relocate the industrial system, let alone the current situation. We can't even reorganize the defense system before the fleet withdraws. The manpower gap is too large, unless there is a complete logistics force to support us." Liu Wen shook his head. He had thought of this plan a long time ago, but the industrial system in the interstellar age was too complicated. It could not be done by dozens or hundreds of engineering ships and transport ships.

Xu Zemin said, "We don't need a complete industrial system. We only need some important facilities, such as space smelters, defense weapon manufacturing equipment, synthetic element production equipment, energy conversion equipment, etc. Moving some of these core equipment here can alleviate the current embarrassing situation in the headquarters area."

Liu Wen did not object this time, but he did not allocate the existing human resources to him: "If you have an idea, you can try to recruit the existing human resources in the territory to complete it. The headquarters really cannot be used. At least we have to complete the reorganization of one line of defense and provide a short period of safe repair for the withdrawn fleet. Otherwise, we will be wiped out here before we can see the benefits of these equipment."

Xu Zemin was also aware of the current situation, so he didn't necessarily need more manpower. After taking on the task, he contacted the remaining personnel in each territory, integrated the only human and material resources, and started his own industrial integration plan.

A few hours later, when the urgently mobilized staff rebuilt a simple command system, the fleet, under the cover of Tianhe's first unit, fought and retreated back to the joint headquarters. After retreating to the reorganized defense line, it began to rotate and repair with the firepower of the defense system.

The original size of the legion was more than 4,000 to nearly 5,000, but now less than half of them have returned to the joint headquarters, with less than 2,000 left. More than 500 legions were wiped out in their entirety, more than 1,000 were crippled, more than half of them were damaged, and the rest suffered more than one-third of casualties.

Faced with this situation, when the fleet was repairing, Liu Wen had to call Michelle and Shirley to begin reorganizing some of the corps that had suffered heavy casualties, establishing mixed corps to improve command efficiency and combat capabilities.

Behind the first line of defense, a large number of engineering ships are still intensively building the second line of defense, and inside there are a large number of transport ships acting as temporary salvage ships to clean up the wreckage.

The entire Joint Headquarters was suddenly flooded with a large number of damaged warships that needed to be repaired and rectified. For a time, it became a mess and the makeshift command system almost collapsed. Fortunately, a group of personnel were drawn from many legions to strengthen the command system of the Joint Headquarters and force all departments to operate. Only then were the affairs sorted out and the Joint Headquarters put on the right track.

Outside the defense line, psychic warships fought against the dimensional evil gods in the form of teams. The distorted space formed by the energy tides and the squeezing of rules was spreading rapidly. Hundreds of millions of low- and middle-level dimensional creatures were scattered along the defense line, attacking the defense system from time to time, but were repelled by the dense firepower and the newly deployed fleet.

"This is the 1001st Army Group. We are here to provide support. If you hear me, please reply, 1002nd Army Group."

On the command platform, Liu Wen and Xu Zemin suddenly received such a message. They looked at each other in surprise. Is this Li Kui really here?
Through the detectors deployed by the psychic fleet, the two finally found each other's traces, more than a thousand light years to the right of the joint headquarters, with a number of about three thousand legions.

"This is the 1002nd Army Group. Thank you for the support from our friendly forces. Please choose to join the battle sequence. We are besieged by the dimensional evil god and cannot provide effective support." Liu Wen played a trick here and let the other party decide whether to join the battle. He also said that he was surrounded now. This was forcing the other party to launch an attack on the dimensional creatures. Even attracting some of the dimensional creatures would reduce the defense pressure of the joint headquarters.

"We understand. Everyone from the 1001st Army, please watch our performance." A slightly arrogant voice was heard.

Liu Wen and Xu Zemin quickly mobilized the detectors to watch the live broadcast, only to see a group of level 1001 energy reactions appearing inside the opponent's fleet. The fleet of the st Army Group jumped in batches to an area more than ten light years away from the Joint Headquarters. Many level warships suppressed space fluctuations and forcibly connected to the void near the Joint Headquarters to jump the fleet over.

A fleet of hundreds of legion-sized ships suddenly appeared in the outer area of ​​the defense line, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of dimensional creatures, and the two sides immediately started a fierce battle.

Through detection, Liu Wen and his team knew very well that there were many level 7 technological warships in this fleet, as well as more than a dozen high-level psychic reactions. Therefore, they were not afraid of the attack of the rules of the dimensional evil god at all. The damage of the naval guns enhanced by the rules was also much greater than that of the naval guns of the same level.

The sky was bombarded with naval guns, clearing out a safe area in the void and catching the follow-up fleet.

With the arrival of the 1001st Army Group, the large force of dimensional creatures immediately changed their attack target, and the two sides started fighting in the void. The dimensional evil god led his troops to attack the fleet, and the high-level combat forces of both sides collided in the void and started fighting.

For a time, they were able to resist the attacks of the dimensional evil gods, and the fleet also suppressed the low- and middle-level dimensional creatures, preventing them from approaching the 3 million kilometers range of the fleet.

The shift of the battlefield's focus is a good thing for the fleet of the United Headquarters. They can finally take a break. Now only a small fleet is needed to assist in the defense to keep those dimensional creatures outside the defense line.

Just when Liu Wen and Xu Zemin felt they could finally breathe a sigh of relief and relieve the fleet's fatigue, a devastating scene occurred.

The 1001st Army Group, which consisted of nearly soldiers, suddenly had an internal conflict right under their noses. A large number of warships turned their guns and launched an attack on friendly forces. Some even drove their warships into the friendly forces while firing, as if they were fighting to the death.

This sudden scene not only disrupted the formation of the 1001st Army, but also almost eliminated its external firepower. The dimensional creatures that had been suppressed immediately rushed in and launched a close attack on the fleet.

I don't know if they were stunned by this sudden scene, but the 1001st Army did not use any restrictive measures. They just watched their warships fire at each other, and fell in large numbers under the artillery fire of their comrades.
