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

Chapter 58 Happy Lantern Festival, Bosses
"Start high-frequency space interference!"

"Activate all restraining force fields!"

"Activate the mind barrier force field..."

"Battleship guns covering fire..."

……

Everyone reacted after hearing Michelle's order and hurriedly followed it. Layers of superimposed force fields enveloped the fleet and radiated a distance of ten light seconds, just covering the psychic troops that were attacking the fleet from the front and back.

As the commander, Michelle reacted and issued a series of orders to maximize the defense. This is the best way to deal with the decapitation attack of psychics. Individual creatures, except for star creatures and a few exceptions, are too small in size and highly flexible.

A warship without restraint ability will be dismantled bit by bit when facing a psychic of even two levels lower than it, especially after it reaches level four and is able to perform short-distance space jumps and cause internal damage, which even the strongest warship cannot withstand.

The main guns did not have time to charge, so the warships with firing windows used their secondary guns for covering attacks. All the warships also adjusted their formations while firing, switching from a cone-shaped offensive formation to a circular defensive formation.

Faced with the fleet's bombardment, these psychics dispersed and formed small teams of several people to conduct mobile operations.

After a round of naval artillery attacks, in addition to the complete destruction of all aircraft, only a few unlucky ones were reduced to ashes by the concentrated fire.

A psychic standing on the back of a western dragon-like star creature looked at the fleet that was forming a firepower network with a cold gaze. His four hands made a virtual grip gesture, and as the psychic energy surged, a ball of matter quickly condensed in his palms and began to produce a fusion reaction. The various released substances were forcibly mixed into a ball of high-energy matter by the psychic energy, and then released in the direction of the fleet.

An energy column mixed with photons, neutrons, gamma rays, etc. crossed millions of kilometers of void in the blink of an eye and hit the energy shield of a frigate-class battleship. The sky-blue energy shield flickered violently after receiving the energy column, and the shield generator increased the energy supply to barely block it.

"High-energy attack detected, unit energy 3,500 degrees of damage, duration 1.5 seconds."

"Lock on the target, level six psychic reaction, level five psychic reaction for space creatures."

The people who heard the report were not surprised at the number. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, without sixth-level technological knowledge, they could only exert the normal strength of a fifth-level psychic.

"Not bad, we can handle it." Wu Shuhe turned to Luo Shaohua and asked, "Do we need to send out the Marines or fighter planes?"

"Why send out the Marines? With their strength, are they going to get killed? Fighter planes rely on the flexibility of their groups to draw fire. In this situation, it is still a question of who is more flexible." Luo Shaohua was speechless. What a bad idea. This operation might have lost money in the first place. You think Boss Liu didn't pay enough, right?

The psychics fought in small teams, and the various light beams cast by level 4 or 5 psychics were no less powerful than ordinary naval guns. The biggest drawback was that the striking distance was not enough. Only level 6 psychics could reach more than three light seconds. Therefore, most psychics were in a situation where they could only take the beatings and could not fight back.

This is not a problem for psychics riding on star creatures. Most of them cannot fight back, but the star creatures under them can.

These space creatures, which looked like giant dragons from the West, spewed out beams of energy beams of different colors at a distance of five or six light seconds. Their damage could reach more than six thousand degrees per unit, which was no weaker than the main guns of military cruiser-class battleships.

The two sides fought in the void. Under the layers of binding force fields, the movement speed of psychics close to the three-light-second range would drop rapidly. The force field cages that would explode from time to time could trap the opponent for one to two seconds. Each time, they would usher in a round of concentrated fire, which would reduce the trapped psychic to ashes.

Because the distance to the planet was too close, less than thirty light seconds, the battleship's guns had an effective range of two or three light minutes. Under the unrestrained attack, huge pits tens or hundreds of kilometers deep were created on the mineral planet. The thick rock layers were melted into magma flows, and the areas around the pits were burned into large pieces of colored glass.

"How is the Galaxy Fleet?" Liu Wen asked Jack.

"It's the same over there. After entering the star system, we encountered siege by psychic troops. The current situation is not much better than ours, but the number and strength of psychics over there are weaker than here, so it is easier to deal with." Jack originally thought that he was just here to see the star wars, but he didn't expect to encounter a counter-ambush as soon as he came in. Fortunately, the fighting has been going on for more than ten minutes. Although more than a dozen warships have been damaged, it did not affect the structure of the warships, and they can return to the battlefield after repairs.

Under Michel's command, the Star Fleet methodically killed these alien psychics. Unfortunately, the most annoying and threatening space creatures were always outside the control range of the force field, and their flexible dodging movements made it difficult for the ship's guns to hit them.

Once these star creatures seize the opportunity, several of them will join together to attack a frigate-class battleship. If they are slow to dodge, their energy shield will be broken and their outer armor will be shattered, forcing them to retreat into the fleet and find engineering ships for emergency repairs.

After half an hour of fighting, the fleet's fierce firepower remained as strong as before. The covering salvos of hundreds of warships could always take away several or even dozens of alien psychics. It seemed that the balance of victory had already tilted. As long as the situation was stabilized, it was only a matter of time before these psychics were killed.

The alien psychics also knew that this would not work, so they began to change their battle strategy.

Due to the overwhelming firepower of the Star Fleet, they were unable to gather for battle, and after the space blockade, they did not have the ability to jump into the fleet through space.

So after carefully observing the formation and firepower of the Star Fleet, these alien psychics organized a group of the fastest flying space creatures, carrying many psychics to charge from all directions, while the remaining psychics feinted an attack on the fleet.

At one time, there were all kinds of fusion attacks, ray attacks, and even some level 5 and 6 psychics had mastered the killing method of antimatter such as positron beams. The firepower of tens of thousands of psychics was comparable to that of a small fleet of the same level.

The escort-class destroyer-class warships roaming around the periphery began to be damaged in large numbers. As the damage continued to accumulate under the outbreak, dozens of frigates were the first to succumb and were sunk by concentrated fire. One after another, the safety cabins were thrown into the fleet and retrieved by minelayers.

"Commander, a jump fluctuation has been detected outside the star system. According to the detection results of the deployed detectors, it is estimated that the regular fleet of this civilization is coming to support." After Shirley discovered the problem, she informed Michelle immediately.

Wu Shuhe wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Fortunately, there is space interference so they can't get in. The distance is hundreds of light hours, so by the time they get here, we will have already finished the fight."

"Don't be careless. How do you know that only warships are coming? Judging from the current situation, these two civilizations should be mainly composed of psychic troops, and the technological warships are only auxiliary." Luo Shaohua's face did not look good, because the psychics' short-distance space jumps have a much stronger anti-interference ability than warships. With the current interference intensity, a level 5 psychic can still make short-distance jumps forty or fifty light hours away.

Forty or fifty light hours may seem like a long time, but if the psychic is willing to do anything, he or she may choose to forcefully enter the battlefield in curvature navigation, which would leave them with only a few hours to a dozen hours.

But now the battle has lasted for more than an hour, and only a little over one-tenth of the enemies on the battlefield have been killed. If we continue to fight, we will probably be surrounded and killed by the enemies that arrive.

"Space fluctuations appeared one hundred and twenty light hours away." "A large number of psychic reactions were detected, nearly three hundred level six psychics, and about four thousand level five psychics."

"Enemy reinforcements are approaching at high speed and are expected to arrive at the battlefield in eighteen hours."

"The enemy fleet is moving and deploying outside the star system. We are being surrounded."

"More than people, right?" Liu Wen slapped the chair and said, "Order, activate the superstellar explosion strike, release a gamma-ray burst to burn them!"

Liu Wen knew very well that he could not wait any longer and there was no way to take the minerals step by step. So he might as well give up on anyone and just burn the glass and burn the entire star system.

The belly of the seven-kilometer-long flagship opened, and a special electromagnetic turret extended out. It turned and aimed the muzzle at the star. The tremendous energy poured into the turret equipment and converted into a hybrid force field that wrapped a special projectile with a diameter of 100 meters. After charging for fifteen seconds, the projectile was fired at a speed close to the speed of light, heading straight for the star.

Twenty special projectiles were fired at the star in succession. In order to ensure that the projectiles would not be intercepted by the psychics on the periphery, the fleet focused on fire coverage of the psychics near the projectile's route. Under the overwhelming attack of the energy column, the twenty projectiles successfully passed through the encirclement of the psychics.

"What kind of weapon is this?" Wu Shuhe asked Shirley beside him with a confused look on his face. It was the first time he knew about the existence of such a thing on the flagship.

Shirley was speechless: "There are so many things you don't know. It's obvious that this is the boss's trump card. I just don't know how powerful it is."

Michelle and Luo Shaohua were the only ones who knew about this thing and were so scared that cold sweats broke out on their foreheads. Unfortunately, it was activated too quickly and they did not have the authority to stop the launch. They could only hurriedly prepare defensive measures. It would be funny if they were not sunk by many of the alien armies but were instead affected by a large area of ​​their own fleet's weapons.

"All warships muster up and execute the fifth emergency defense plan, and do it quickly." Although Michelle knew that this thing would not explode that quickly, she was still very nervous. If she was not careful, the entire fleet could be lost.

"The fleet will maneuver towards Planet No. 3." After looking at the star map, only the nearest Planet No. 3 can act as a shield to a certain extent. Moreover, if they have the support of a planet, the pressure they face from the psychic forces will be much less.

The sudden movement of the Star Fleet made the besieging psychic troops even more arrogant. They thought they saw their reinforcements arriving, so they were preparing to run away. As a result, the enemy's attacks became more frequent. One by one, teams of star creatures kept approaching the fleet, trying to break into the fleet formation, but they were forced back by covering volleys again and again.

During the battle between the two sides, twenty special projectiles gradually approached the star and then dived into it, stirring up the stellar materials like small splashes on the water.

The special sphere continued to penetrate deeper into the star until the enveloping force field basically disappeared when it approached the star's convection zone. At this time, twenty special projectiles suddenly unfolded, and huge gravitational force emanated from it, continuously compressing the surrounding matter with a diameter of tens of kilometers towards the sphere, causing the high temperature and high pressure environment within this gravitational range to rapidly approach the core of the star. After more than ten seconds, it even surpassed the core of the star and reached a temperature of nearly 20 million degrees Celsius.

Under this high temperature and high pressure, the fusion reaction is unprecedentedly violent. The released energy suddenly explodes after reaching the peak of the force field's constraint. The solid hydrogen and helium elements in the sphere are also released, triggering an even more violent fusion reaction.

Under the tsunami-like release of energy, the surface of the star undergoes drastic changes in a form visible to the naked eye. Stellar flares become larger and larger, the exploding prominences rush into the void for billions of miles, stellar storms are gradually generated, and all kinds of rays mixed with stellar energy burst into the void.

As a result of the chain reaction, the entire star burned violently. The fusion reaction that originally occurred inside the star exploded in the convection zone. The energy of the explosion instantly broke the balance of the star's structure, and a small superstellar explosion officially began.

The battlefield is only 200 million kilometers away from the star, a dozen light minutes away. After the extremely violent stellar storm erupted completely, the energy in the void has surged and the temperature has risen sharply.

The psychics on the battlefield felt the change in the environment immediately, but lacking the means of long-distance observation, they did not know what this meant. They simply believed that the energy emitted by the Star Fleet's continuous volleys made the environment abnormal, so they did not choose to evacuate the battlefield and find shelter.

When the stellar storm was about to reach the battlefield, the psychics discovered that there was no room for escape after they had dealt this fatal blow. The energy of the stellar storm spread at the speed of light, and they could only reach half the speed of light due to the interference of space, and could not outrun the attack of the stellar storm at all.

The Star Fleet moved behind Planet No. 3 and continued to descend into a low orbit. Its external firepower became increasingly fierce and intensive, blocking the psychics' attack outside the three-light-second range.

When the stellar storm arrived, the fleet warships quickly gathered together under Michelle's command, and opened a joint defense shield with the flagship as the core. This is also a unique fighting method of the military fleet, jointly supporting an energy shield to defend against attacks.

After sensing the approach of the stellar storm, the psychics charged towards the fleet more and more frantically, trying to use the fleet as a shield to block the stellar storm. The fleet's dense firepower burned any creature that came within two light seconds into a stream of void particles, until the stellar storm completely engulfed the battlefield. The violent energy rays lasted for a full thirty-five minutes before they erupted.

By the time the void gradually quieted down, there was no longer a single living psychic on the battlefield. The alien reinforcements that were desperately rushing to support from afar also turned around and fled in a hurry after receiving the information about the stellar storm, abandoning the strategy of encircling the Star Fleet.

"It's a beautiful planet, just like an oversized glass marble." Liu Wen looked at the planet below through the porthole. The entire surface of the planet was steaming with hot air.

On the front side of the planet that was hit by the stellar storm, the surface was melted by lava tens of meters deep, which flowed toward the rear under the impact of the stellar storm, while the surface at the rear that was not directly affected was baked into a large piece of colorful glass by the high temperature.

"Boss, are you still mining?" Shirley ran over to ask Liu Wen.

"Dig? Why not dig? The stellar storm won't blow away the psychic energy underground." Liu Wen took a look at the alien reinforcements. It would take at least one or two days for the other party to come in again, which was enough time for them to violently collect most of the valuable psychic minerals.

"By the way, what about the fleet's losses?"

When Shirley heard this question, she looked at Liu Wen awkwardly: "Boss, more than 130 frigate-class battleships were sunk, more than 50 were seriously damaged, and 12 destroyers were sunk, 8 were seriously damaged."

This data also silenced Liu Wen. He remembered that before the stellar storm broke out, the number of warships lost in the battle was less than 100. In other words, the attack he launched impulsively easily doubled the casualties.

"Hehe, go and get busy. Let the engineering team hurry up and start mining." Liu Wen quickly waved his hand to let Shirley leave.

Shirley also ran away as if she had been pardoned. This loss was acceptable in terms of harvest, but it was basically not advisable from a tactical point of view. It was not that the fleet could not defeat the enemy, it just took a long time. Ending the battle early with huge losses to facilitate mining was a bit of a loss no matter how you looked at it.

The engineering ships and transport ships hiding inside the fleet entered low-Earth orbit and moved toward the mining area. After measuring the position, they began to launch earth-penetrating bombs towards the mineral veins without caring that the stellar storm had not yet completely ended.
