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

Chapter 59 Brute Force Mining
Several engineering ships were suspended in low-Earth orbit, firing bunker-buster bombs into the underground rock formations hundreds of meters deep. Dozens of transport boats flew out of the transport ships and fell toward the surface.

"The high-frequency vibration bomb has been deployed and can be detonated."

"Detonate the high-frequency vibration bomb."

The bombs driven into the ground were detonated at the same time, and the shock wave spread outward with the bombs as the center. All the rock layers were distributed and disintegrated into tiny particles under this high-frequency vibration.

Dozens of transport boats flew above the ore veins, using particle traction beams to absorb the decomposed matter into the cargo hold, and then transported it to the cargo hold on the transport ship. After preliminary screening, the matter containing psychic energy was retained, and the matter without psychic energy was compressed into a ball and sent into the spacecraft reactor as heavy fusion fuel. After fusing into suitable elements as needed, it was sent to the engineering ship to be smelted into basic products to replenish consumption, or used to temporarily repair warships.

With the whole system, although the work efficiency is not very high, not only is there no waste on the materials transported back, but the stored energy blocks are also increasing. From time to time, a batch can be sent to the main battleship as emergency energy or sent into the reactor to convert antimatter.

This is the advantage of an entire industrial system. All facilities are matched. Even a combat fleet can be self-sufficient to a certain extent in replenishing consumption as long as there is enough time, which greatly reduces the pressure of logistics supply.

In addition, there are small production lines and processing centers in light motherships and flagships, which can produce some lightweight weapons, such as robotic units for land forces, unmanned fighters, various ground-to-ground weapons, small aircraft, etc.

If it is a fleet equipped with mobile fortresses or even planetary fortresses, it can even establish a relatively complete logistics supply industrial base in a short period of time. Even low-level warships such as frigate-class warships can be produced independently. However, the production efficiency is not high, and many core equipment can only rely on inventory to be used up.

The Star Sea Fleet was rushing to mine, while the Galaxy Fleet's journey was much more tortuous, but its results were much better than those of the Star Sea Fleet.

Just like the Star Fleet, they were surrounded by the psychic troops that suddenly appeared as soon as they jumped into the star system. Bai Haitang was so scared that she turned pale and thought that the whole army would be wiped out this time.

Fortunately, after building up the defense, they tried to fight and found that those level six psychics were just empty shells and could not even display the strength of a normal human level five psychic.

The really tricky ones are those bat-like star creatures, the strongest of which can deal seven or eight thousand degrees of damage.

After understanding this, Bai Haitang felt more confident and was not in a hurry to break out. Instead, he started a mobile war with the opponent.

Psykers are certainly agile, but their movement speed is far slower than that of battleships. When fighting and moving are carried out at the same time, psykers who are not riding star creatures will always lose sight of one while focusing on the other.

By using the method of flying a kite, from time to time a group of psychics could gather behind the fleet to pursue the troops, and put them within a certain distance. All means against the psychics would be used, and then two rounds of salvos would be fired, and hundreds of enemies could be taken away in a moment. The combat loss ratio was much better than that of the Galaxy Fleet.

The alien reinforcements from star system No. 2 arrived faster than those from star system No. 1, but due to the interference of space, the Galaxy Fleet kept leading the enemy in circles. The aliens were unable to complete the encirclement deployment and instead suffered heavy losses in the face of the fleet's strong counterattack.

After Liu Wen ignited the stellar storm for the No. 1 star system to resolve the battle, Bai Haitang also wondered if she could learn from it, but she quickly gave up the idea after receiving the battle damage data. The No. 1 star system was ordered by Liu Wen, the boss, so the losses were naturally borne by Liu himself, but the No. 2 star system was commanded by Bai Haitang herself, and she would bear the losses by herself. She didn't want to be known for having more non-combat casualties than combat casualties, unless she didn't want to continue to get promoted and get a raise in the future.

Without being able to learn from Boss Liu, the alien reinforcements are increasing and the encirclement has gradually formed. Although breaking out is not difficult and the losses are acceptable, it is unacceptable to fight for so long without any gains.

At this time, Adjutant Tian Jian and Chief of Staff Zhang Dong suggested to Bai Haitang that they use a strategy of pretending to build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang to eliminate most of the psychic troops, and also captured many star creatures and alien psychics alive.

"Commander, through these few hours of fighting, we have discovered that these space creatures are very sensitive to space shock waves. After dissecting the space creatures and alien psychics who died in the battle, we found that when the space shock waves reach a certain level, their spirits will become extremely violent, and after a period of time, they will faint due to excessive mental exhaustion."

Zhang Dong explained with a confident look: "So we can make a false move to get rid of these alien psychic troops in one fell swoop."

Bai Haitang asked with great interest: "How to do it specifically?"

Tian Jian replied: "I have come up with a plan with the staff. These psychic troops are afraid of our firepower, so they are scattered. It will be very easy to be intercepted if we use solid shock wave bombs. Therefore, we need to find an area where it is easy to deploy weapons to increase the success rate."

"First of all, this asteroid belt is less than ten light minutes away from us. The asteroids are not large and will not interfere with the ship's gun firepower. However, because the meteorites are too dense, they are disadvantageous for psychics to move and dodge."

"We will first move to the asteroid belt, then divide the fleet into three parts, pretending to be a dispersed breakout, and have the minelayers quickly drop shock wave bombs in this area. Then the fleet will move so that the orbit overlaps in this area."

"Alright, we'll take out these psychic troops in one fell swoop. If we fail, we can use the minefield to delay the enemy's pursuit, evacuate this star system, contact the boss, and make plans later."

Bai Haitang thought for a moment, calculated the success rate, and after finding out that the chance of success was over 60%, he immediately agreed to the plan.

After a busy work, the minefield formed by tens of thousands of space shock wave bombs killed 80% of the psychic troops in one fell swoop, and captured a lot of unconscious psychics and star creatures. After inserting mental limiters and psychic limiters into them, they were locked in force field cages, and strong anesthetics were injected to keep them in a comatose state every once in a while.

After reading and translating through brain waves, the information of the two star system civilizations gradually became clear. The origin, training and cultivation technology of the star creatures were no longer a secret.

"Hurry, Tian Jian, lead the squadron to the outer asteroid belt. There are nests of star creatures there, and there are many eggs in them. Bring them all back." After Bai Haitang discovered that there were eggs laid in the place where the star creatures emerged, she hurriedly asked Tian Jian to go there personally, while she was responsible for restraining the remaining psychic troops and the alien fleet that was rushing over.

After thinking about it, she dispatched dozens of warships to protect the engineering ships and transport ships to go to the mineral planet to dig out those high-energy psychic ores. She understood Liu Wen the best and knew that for him, robbing alien races of psychic minerals and other materials that were easy to cash in was more gratifying than completing military missions.
