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

Chapter 97 The Turmoil in the Void

After Liu Wen received the report from Bai Haitang, he quickly rubbed his brows. The intelligent machine here had just calmed down, and there were waves outside the galaxy again. They really wanted to prevent him from developing for a while, right?
"Tell me the details of the situation." Liu Wen asked.

Bai Haitang passed on the collected data and explained, "The cause of the incident is that the detector I deployed in that area disappeared. The intelligence department followed the normal process to send a spacecraft to deploy a new detector and find out the reason for the disappearance of the detector."

"But after the spacecraft passed by, it only sent back a message about encountering a space anomaly and then disappeared. Only then did the intelligence department pass the information to the General Staff and send a reconnaissance ship to investigate the situation."

"It was only then that I discovered that the spatial fluctuations in that piece of void were abnormal. Occasionally, some spatial bubbles appeared with the spatial fluctuations. The source and origin were unknown, and the radiation range was also unknown."

Liu Wen looked through the detection data. The space disturbance caused the space jump to fail, and it was impossible to jump to the rear of the disturbance area, so it was impossible to judge the size of the disturbance. There were reconnaissance ships on both sides sailing through curvature to explore the situation.

According to the existing test results, there is no damage to the space layer and leakage of space energy in the space disturbance. In other words, this space disturbance only belongs to the void itself.

In addition, the space phenomena that appear are very complex. Conventional space oscillations occur all the time, space bubbles appear intermittently, and along with space energy riots, there will also be phenomena such as folding space and fragmentation. The whole thing is a large collection of space phenomena.

"Send a scientific research ship over to take a look at the situation. Don't act rashly. Find out the cause and the danger first." Liu Wen does not plan to mobilize a large force for the time being. There is no need. After all, the cause of the space disturbance has not been explored yet. It is useless to send a fleet over. Can the disturbed area be flattened with naval guns?
Bai Haitang also knew that Liu Wen would not act rashly, but she had to report the matter to Liu Wen. After all, it was too close to the Bonucci star field, and it could be reached with a jump in the void. It was within easy reach, so it was always good to be more vigilant. Moreover, with Liu Wen's endorsement, she could also deal with it appropriately.

After the call ended, Liu Wen no longer had the mind to practice, and turned to deal with the documents sent by Michelle.

Led by Michelle and Luo Shaohua, the combined fleet attacked both sides of the wormhole, clearing out the intelligent forces and factories stranded in the surrounding star systems. One star system after another gradually fell into the hands of the combined fleet.

Three of the star systems here are transformed earth-like planets. The original civilizations have been slaughtered by intelligent machines. A large number of intelligent equipment are developing the resources of the entire star system to build an industrial system. If the other party is given a few more months, the joint fleet may have to pay a heavy price to take it down.

Destroying this intelligent machine before its industrial production system is established and taking over these legacies will not be of much use to the Star Sea Territory, which has no shortage of territory, but it will be of great help to many alien forces and human lords.

The star system is not only an indispensable territory, but also a mineral deposit with abundant resources. Even if they are just some ordinary metal resources and gas resources, it is a rare and good place for the lords. After all, it is a star system, and the star is still there, which is the most important and valuable thing.

Now the Union is facing internal disputes over how to develop and utilize these star systems. It is not easy for Liu Wen to be arbitrary at this time. After all, he has to give these alien civilizations some benefits to motivate them. Working without eating will not motivate them. Therefore, he lets them argue and only acts as a referee. No matter what the result is, he will not lose his share.

After checking all the files, Liu Wen calmed down and returned to the training room to continue practicing. Only when his own spiritual power is strong can he be guaranteed to succeed.

As the intelligent mechanical forces in the galaxy were completely eliminated and the wormholes were strictly guarded, the captured star fields were collectively developed and used by the joint fleet. Each affiliated force got a share of it, and everyone was happy.

Time is a relatively abstract concept, which is a manifestation of the movement of matter, the continuity and sequentiality of change. In a relatively peaceful universe, three years have passed.

In the past three years, the Xinghai Territory has developed rapidly, and the number of scientific researchers has reached more than three million, occupying ten living cities, five scientific research cities, ten space scientific research stations, etc. Their figures can be seen everywhere in the Sera Industrial Zone, shuttling between various factories and laboratories.

The second-generation battleships of the Xinghai series have been officially finalized. Their technological level belongs to the first echelon among the sixth-level civilizations. The industrial system was upgraded in March for production and service.

The first generation of battleships were fully open to foreign trade models, with combat power between the Guard-type and the Garrison-type, and could only be barely considered the second tier.

The Void Butterfly series of biological battleships has also been optimized and entered the mass production stage.

The Void Butterfly Battleship, which possesses the attributes of a normal level six battleship and also has some characteristics of a special battleship, has seen a significant drop in production, but its endurance and combat effectiveness have increased significantly. With the same number of troops, it has been able to tie with a second-generation legion in the simulation.

As a supplement, two more models of explosive soldier versions have been added, the flying dragon type and the eel type. One is shaped like a flying dragon and the other is shaped like an electric eel. Their respective means of damage are also similar to those of the creatures in appearance.

These two models increase the training speed and sacrifice the survival time, thus gaining the ability to produce large quantities of troops. They can be quickly trained when troops are tight or in large-scale battles, thereby obtaining a large number of cannon fodder troops to impact the battlefield and turn the tide of the battle.

Thanks to the trading area opened by the United Fleet, it has expanded to fifteen trading platforms, with each platform having more than one billion daily residents. After three years of development, a relatively stable settlement has been formed.

Intelligent creatures of all kinds gather together, shoulder to shoulder. In addition to the simple resource trade and technology exchange at the beginning, it has now developed everything that a real interstellar city should have.

Life, services, trade, etc. are all available.

Various alien civilizations acquired a large amount of technological knowledge from here. During this period, various civilizations developed rapidly and entered a stage of technological explosion. Countless technological products were updated and iterated. Driven by sufficient resources, civilizations were undergoing a leapfrog improvement.

During the three years, the development of the United Fleet did not stagnate. Seeing the favorable conditions created by the United Fleet's trade zone, many human lords of more distant alien forces that were not threatened by intelligent machines sent envoys in succession hoping to become members of the United Fleet and obtain resources for the advancement of civilization from it.

The reason is simple. The forces that have joined the United Fleet have grown too fast, and the resources are fully guaranteed. For the alien civilizations that have not joined, the threat is increasing day by day. Now there is also the enemy of the intelligent machine that is always entangled with the giant United Fleet, making it have no ambition to expand. But once the threat of the intelligent machine is resolved, what will the United Fleet do to ensure its own continuation? Of course, it will create external threats and obtain more benefits to ensure its own continuation.

And where do these external threats and resources come from?

Naturally, it is the civilization outside the sphere of influence of the Combined Fleet. Since you are not a member of the alliance, it is only natural to fight you. The rise of civilization in the universe itself is inseparable from expansion and fighting, and the resources of one's own territory are limited. Not expanding to seek more resources to develop oneself is chronic suicide.

Therefore, after seeing through this, many alien civilizations wanted to join in.

One is to ensure that they will not become food for the combined fleet and be devoured. The second is that the combined fleet trade zone is really very beneficial. The massive resource transactions and rich scientific and technological knowledge transactions are what many civilizations dream of. The third is naturally to find a backing force for yourself. After becoming a member, although you have to provide some troops to join the battle sequence, it is equivalent to finding a bodyguard for yourself. When the civilization is attacked by other forces, you can ask for help from the combined fleet. There is no one or several civilizations in this star field that can fight against the combined fleet alone. Most threats can be easily solved as soon as the combined fleet appears.

With several favorable conditions, everyone naturally wants to join in. After all, the goal of civilization is to strive for development while continuing.

But during this period, the conditions for joining the Combined Fleet have been raised a lot and the requirements have become more stringent. This can be regarded as a privilege for the forces that joined in the early stage. It is also to prevent the Combined Fleet from blindly expanding and causing indigestion and internal disintegration.

After three years, there are less than twenty new forces joining. The price they pay is to open up a lot of scientific and technological knowledge to the Combined Fleet. If there are resources and specialties, they have to provide a batch to the Combined Fleet at a low price every once in a while. If not, they have to provide some logistical support.

At the same time, six corps of troops must serve in the Combined Fleet and will be at the forefront of the battle for a long time.

The forces that Liu Wen agreed to join all have their own characteristics and can provide something beneficial to the development of the territory, either technological advantages or resource advantages. Anyway, you have to provide benefits. Ordinary civilizations can forget about it, as the Combined Fleet is not an organization that gives out welfare.

Over the past three years, the fighting at the wormhole has never stopped. Every one or two days, the intelligent machines would send a small number of troops to attack the combined fleet through the wormhole, and every few months or a year, they would send a large force, but they were all blocked at the wormhole entrance by the combined fleet and completely destroyed.

The intelligent civilization knew that their force was not enough to break through the defense line of the Combined Fleet, but they still did it. Attrition was secondary. The more likely reason was to tell the Combined Fleet that this was not over and that one of the two sides would eventually lose the war.

Inside the Combined Fleet headquarters fortress, Liu Wen was talking on the phone with Bai Haitang.

"You said that the spatial disturbance in that void is rapidly increasing and expanding?"

Bai Haitang nodded and said, "The disturbance area has now expanded to a range of fifteen light years, and is expanding at a sub-light speed of fifteen percent. The intensity of the spatial disturbance has also increased by eight percent compared to three days ago, and is still increasing."

Liu Wen frowned and said, "Continue to detect data. Tell the research ship to be careful and not get too close. In addition, I will give you the authority to mobilize the fifth, sixth, and seventh biological legions. If necessary, you can add 20 secondary biological legions."

"Understood!" Bai Haitang closed the projection with a smile.

The blue fat man asked curiously: "Boss, what is in that void?"

Liu Wen shook his head: "I don't know either. The research ship has been here for three years, and apart from the improvement of space technology, there has been no other gains."

Jack shook his glass and said thoughtfully, "That area of ​​spatial disturbance is very unusual. I have been paying attention to it for a while and even went to see it myself. With my level 4 spatial sensing ability, I can only sense the danger, but I don't know where it comes from."

Frog stared with his eyes wide open, his mouth filled with psychic food that was tribute from the alien civilization.

"How about I go over and take a look, boss?" After swallowing the food, Frog recommended himself.

The blue fat man hurriedly stopped him: "No, you are the only level 6 psychic among us. You will be able to sprint to level 7 in a few years. How can you take risks so easily!"

Over the past three years, thanks to the large amount of resources provided by Liu Wen, Wa Zai was able to rise to the sixth level of psychic like a rocket a few days ago. After a few days of consolidation and adaptation, they were able to sit together and celebrate.

Liu Wen had just reached level five not long ago, and still had a long way to go before he could reach level six. It was estimated that it would take another three or four years before he could reach level six. He was far behind Frog. Fatty Blue and Jack were still at level four, still far from level five, let alone level six.

The two lazy guys, Little Fox and Cat, also reached level three last year under Liu Wen's mandatory requirement, but it is unknown when they can reach level four, and their combat effectiveness is a mess. Fortunately, their management ability is still acceptable, and now they have entered the Star Sea Territory to manage some affairs in the living city to exercise their abilities.

Liu Wen also disagreed with Wazai taking risks. He was hoping that Wazai would quickly reach level seven and become the first level seven combat force in the territory, thus increasing the territory's ability to resist risks.

Although he obtained a full set of level seven technology, the equipment in the Sera Industrial Zone was not accurate and of poor quality. After three years, Laura had only painstakingly produced a batch of processing equipment. He still had a long way to go before he could build a batch of level seven battleships to serve as a trump card. The investment of resources was secondary.

Because of this, Laura emphasized to Liu Wen more than once that she was a management-type intelligent life, not a scientific research-type one. Developing and utilizing technology was not her strong point. It was very difficult for her to build level 7 technological equipment on her own, and it would be a serious waste of resources.

But who else can lead the production in Liu Wen's hands besides her?

There are millions of scientific researchers, and even those few technological pioneers are only leading in level six technology. They are completely clueless about level seven rule technology. Even if they produce according to the data, it won't work. Only Laura, an intelligent life, can guarantee the production accuracy and efficiency. For this reason, Liu Wen had to make promises to her, saying that he would give her a holiday after she finished the work and allow her to control a group of spaceships to travel around.

Laura then worked hard without complaint. Although she was an intelligent life evolved from intelligent AI, she also had preferences and longed for the outside world. However, the basic authority was in Liu Wen's hands. Without his consent, she could not go anywhere. If he really pissed her off, he could even put her in a small dark room.

Jack on the side suggested: "Frog, don't wander around. Go back to the territory and continue your training. Your talents are all in psychic talents. This kind of chores are not suitable for you."

"I'll go over to check out the situation later, and check out the second-generation special warship and the Moon of War."

When Liu Wen heard Jack's proposal, he did not reject him, but reminded him to be careful.

"That void gives me a bad feeling, but there is no evidence that it involves the void dimension. Even the space layer has not been broken through. It is really a headache. You should be alert when you go there. If there is any force majeure, immediately evacuate the people to the Bonucci Industrial Zone and wait for support from the territory."
