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

Chapter 67: Subspace Battlefield

Zhou Yun walked around the Sera Industrial Zone with Liu Wen, and looked at the production docks, space smelting forges, and industrial cities arranged in the void one by one.

"Mr. Liu, your group's industrial system is already quite complete. If taken out alone, it can establish a fifth-level technological civilization." Zhou Yun seemed very happy after seeing the industrial zone.

Liu Wen said, "There are still many shortcomings. The group has developed too fast and there is not enough time to settle down."

After chatting and laughing, the two returned to the rest area of ​​the space station. Zhou Yun asked, "Mr. Liu, which star field are you planning to explore?"

"I plan to go to No. 6 to explore the star field. It's relatively mild over there, and the success rate for newcomers like us is higher." Liu Wen asked back, "Captain Zhou, I wonder to what extent the Human Union is open to information about exploring star fields?"

Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Liu would have told me the relevant information even if he hadn't asked me."

"Mr. Liu was right to choose Star Field No. 6 as the first stop for expansion. A major war took place half a year ago. The high-level enemies are lying dormant and accumulating strength. The remaining active ones are not a big threat to the fleet of Level 6 battleships. This is the best time for expansion."

"The relevant intelligence acquisition permissions and resource trading permissions will be opened simultaneously after the development order is issued."

"The development order will be issued in three days at the latest. Mr. Liu must complete the preparations within three months and report to the development star region on time. Otherwise, he will be treated as a deserter and the relevant persons in charge will be sent to the military court."

"Another point is that within three months of the issuance of the development order, all commercial activities within the human kingdom must be stopped, and technology licensing contracts must be re-signed in the name of the development territory after the development of the star field report."

"After the development order is issued, you will be a reserve development lord, with independent administrative power, legislative power, and military action power. Your status is equivalent to that of a human kingdom, and all your foreign affairs will be elevated to international diplomacy."

"In order to facilitate the pioneering lords, the Human Union has drafted many systematic legal texts for the special environment of pioneering star fields. Mr. Liu can obtain them through personal authority after the pioneering order is issued, and can use them directly with slight modifications or even without modification."

"The most important point is that many of the enemies the pioneering fleet faces are able to affect the main universe's true body through their spiritual clones, so the equipment for emergency exit in case of emergency must be prepared."

After the conversation, Zhou Yun explained all the information that Liu Wen knew and didn't know. It would be better to say that his mission was to popularize relevant knowledge about development rather than to say that he was here to investigate whether he was qualified. He also mentioned again and again the many dangers and taboos of developing star fields, in order to make Liu Wen have a deeper impression and be more vigilant.

A few hours later, Liu Wen and his companions stood on the tarmac and watched the shuttle of the inspection team members leave. They only had to wait three days for the development order to be received, and their lives would undergo earth-shaking changes.

In the conference room, the group's top executives gathered together. Most of them looked excited, but a few who joined later looked a little stiff.

"You are all aware of the current situation, and you have all heard about the risks of exploration. Anyone here who is unwilling to take risks can go and write a letter of resignation now." Liu Wen stood above and looked at the group's top executives with different expressions. He also knew that not everyone was willing to take the risk of exploring the star field to fight for a future.

"Chairman, I'm sorry, I choose to leave." A subsidiary company head stood up and said.

"I'm sorry, Chairman. I only want to work in the country."

"Chairman..."

……

Among the more than 40 people, nearly ten left in succession. They were all staff members of subsidiaries established as the group's business expanded. None of the group's core personnel chose to leave.

Jack and Fat Blue felt relieved when they watched the people leaving. No wonder Brother Wen emphasized when he started recruiting that personnel in the combat and core departments should give priority to those who are willing to go to explore the star field. Otherwise, if a group of people suddenly leave when the time comes, the operation of the entire group will be in trouble.

"Well, those who should leave have already left, and the rest have already shown when they joined the group that they are not afraid to go to explore the star field."

Liu Wen smiled and said, "Next, all departments of the group will reorganize their systems. Each department will correspond to a management organization, which also means that our makeshift team will officially step onto this dazzling interstellar stage."

"Everyone, prepare for battle. Our first battle is especially important. Whether we can gain a foothold in the open star field depends on that battle."

"Don't worry, Lord. All the crew members of the Star Sea Fleet are already ready!" Luo Shaohua stood up to express his attitude.

Bai Haitang was not to be outdone: "Chairman, all members of the Galaxy Fleet are on standby at any time!"

"Very good!" Liu Wen liked their style very much. Now their identity is just the group's security personnel. After the development order is issued, they will become formal soldiers, and the military ranks issued by Liu Wen will also be recognized by the People's Federation.

"The heads of each department must rectify the emotions of the employees. Those who should resign should resign, and those who should be transferred should be transferred. The rectification work must be completed within the next few days."

"Personnel department, you can increase the recruitment of manpower, especially fleet reserve personnel. Currently, we can't even gather three legions. While there is still time, we should quickly recruit more people. Do you understand?"

"President Li Bingzhen, some subsidiaries should be abandoned or closed as soon as possible, and all personnel should be recalled to the Sera Industrial Park to stand by."

……

A series of tasks were issued, and as soon as the meeting ended, news that the group was about to go to develop the star field began to spread everywhere. Many employees who were unwilling to go to develop the star field also resigned after interviews with various departments.

Subsidiaries that had just opened for less than two years were closed one after another, and all employees withdrew to the living city in Sera Industrial Zone to work. Business also shifted from offline to online. Fortunately, these subsidiaries chose technology licensing and product outsourcing, and they only needed to complete the existing business orders. Technology licensing does not affect the other party's continued use, but only requires a subsequent procedure to be signed.

As an emerging military group, Xinghai Group's sudden business contraction made many related companies understand the situation at once, and they all sent congratulations to Liu Wen.

Three days passed in this busy time, and the development order arrived as promised. A human-connected spacecraft delivered a development order made of unknown materials.

According to the number, Liu Wen logged into the Human Union Star Network and officially activated his identity as a pioneer lord. At the same time, all the rights of the pioneer lord were officially opened to him.

Looking at the projection of the Star Network in front of him, Liu Wen was not as excited as he had imagined. Instead, he was very calm.

Fat Blue and Jack Frog stood behind him, their eyes fixed on the projected development license. Among a series of open permissions, the military merit exchange permission was the most attractive.

Although the exchange of merits seems a bit expensive relatively speaking, here you can really use your merits to exchange for all the technologies, equipment materials, etc. owned by human civilization. The acquisition of merit points is no longer limited to the elimination of how many hostile alien races there are. Anything that is beneficial to human civilization will be converted into corresponding merit points.

For Liu Wen and others, merit points are free gifts. The pioneer lords have no choice but to destroy alien races to seize territory. They have to do this whether there are merit rewards or not. It is an additional income. "Boss, how do we open up the star field?" Wa Zai asked in confusion. He only found out that Liu Wen had applied for a pioneering order when he was pulled out of training two days ago. He knew even less about opening up the star field.

"It takes about two months to go through the space gate set up by the Human Union to explore the star field." Jack explained.

The blue fat man propped up his belly which had not shrunk at all and said, "When should we set off? Should we just take the fleet there first, take down a place to stay, and then move the Sera Industrial Zone there?"

Liu Wen nodded: "This is the best solution, so we must set off as soon as possible. Those who stay within three months will be considered abandoned, so we need to find a place to stay within a month."

"We currently have two level six legions with more than 3,000 spare warships, and we can produce nearly 3,000 warships every month. The reserved resources are enough to last for half a year." The blue fat man said, "We must not only find a place to stay within three months, but also find a resource supply line within half a year, otherwise the production in the industrial zone will stagnate."

"How much money do we have left?" Liu Wen asked Jack.

Jack replied: "There is still nearly 100 billion in cash on the books, which can support employee salaries and scientific research expenses for several years. However, if we rely entirely on purchasing resources, it will take more than half a year."

Liu Wen used his authority to retrieve the star map of the No. 6 star field. This star map is updated every week, and the accuracy decreases as you go further out to the periphery.

"Look here. Area 12 is the most suitable for our initial development. Subspaces emerge in endlessly, alien forces are intertwined, and resources are relatively abundant. If we lack resources, we can grab them from the aliens. I don't believe we can lack resources."

After several people looked around Area 12, the blue fat man frowned and said, "Boss, there are several large subspace battlefields here, and the exits of the passages are changing all the time. Isn't that too much of a variable?"

"Look at this data. The intensity of the subspace battlefield here is not very high. There are very few battles above level six. We are both at level six, so even if we can't win, we can run away." Liu Wen explained with a smile.

After reading the information, Jack and his companions approved of Liu Wen's plan. They all knew that Liu Wen could earn extra income from time to time, and choosing a place where the intensity of the war was not high was just right to develop and reap resources.

A few days later, the two fleets put on the emblems of the Star Sea Development Territory, and after certification, they set sail from the Shuzhong Star Region and headed for the garrison's space gate. They needed to first pass through the garrison's space gates in each star region to reach the location of the space gate arranged by the Human Union, and then pass through the Human Union's space gate to the star region directly under the Human Union for transfer to reach the No. 6 Development Star Region.

For two consecutive months, the fleet was on the road, passing through the space gate and waiting in line. After repeating this dozens or hundreds of times, the enthusiasm that the fleet had when it first set out gradually began to cool down. Anyone would lose interest after traveling for several months.

It was not until two months later, when the fleet passed through the last space gate and saw a scenery that was completely different from that inside the human kingdom, that they became excited again.

The sixth star field is also known as the sixth battlefield.

In the Sixth War Zone of the Human Alliance, the fleets belonging to the Human Alliance shuttled back and forth. A row of space gates at the rear constantly handled a large number of fleets. Among the garrison fleets on all sides, war fortresses like planets were quietly suspended in the void. The surrounding mobile fortress battle clusters were scattered around, cooperating with various defense systems to monitor the void.

The fleet followed the instructions of the tower to the designated void parking area, while Liu Wen took a shuttle to report to the Human Union Development Lord Office. Only after obtaining the access permission code could he leave the Human Union defense line and head to the real development star field.

Things went smoothly. It took Liu Wen less than three hours to make the round trip. After obtaining access authorization, the fleet set sail again and followed the guidance of the tower to head to the customs to leave the human defense line.

There were countless spaceships entering and leaving the star systems along the way. Alien spaceships that were previously rare were now everywhere, and the various models opened Liu Wen and his group's eyes.

No matter how strange the physical technology warships are, they always follow a basic rule. However, within the jurisdiction of this human federation, biological technology spaceships are not rare. There are spaceships from a mushroom, a tree, and even a planet.

There are also many psychics here. From time to time, you can see psychics crossing the void in the waterway, and occasionally you can see psychic warships appearing.

A few days later, the Star Sea Fleet finally arrived at the Human Alliance defense line. The defensive weapons densely covering the starry sky made everyone's scalp tingle, and the Human Alliance fleet patrolling back and forth was even more diverse.

On the defense line that is hundreds of thousands of light years in scale and hundreds of light years in width, there is not a single star system. There are only various debris floating in the sky. Countless salvage ships roam among the ruins, laboriously cleaning up the debris that obscures the view of the starry sky. In the rear, planetary-level smelting furnaces continuously spew out various types of high-energy alloys, which are then towed away by transport ships.

If you ignore the densely packed void fortresses, this place doesn't look like a battlefield, but more like a mine with inexhaustible resources.

"This is the Human Union Customs. The star field ahead is open. Please show us your customs clearance certificate."

"The Star Fleet has passed the inspection. The Sixth War Zone of the Human Alliance welcomes you. Please remember your mission: no matter how the times change, the flame of humanity will last forever! I wish you all good luck in the military!"

After passing customs verification, the fleet officially set out to explore the star field.

"Attention all fleets, we have entered the pioneering star field. Please prepare for battle."

"All fleets' detection radars are running at full power, and energy shields and force field shields are activated."

"Scout ship set off!"

As time passed, the fleet gradually approached Area 12, the number of human fleets along the way gradually decreased, and the battle fluctuations and space fluctuations detected in the void became more and more intense.

"Space fluctuations detected ahead, all fleets on alert!"

As novices, every space fluctuation can make the fleet nervous. With the information transmitted by the reconnaissance ship, the space fluctuation in front of the fleet belongs to the fluctuation that is being formed in the space channel.

According to the regulations of the Human Union, once the human fleet discovers a space channel within 30,000 light years of the defense line, it must detect whether it is caused by aliens or subspace. Therefore, Liu Wen could only push the fleet forward and lock the space fluctuation point with the ship's guns to prevent the appearance of alien armed forces.

Soon, the space channel was completely formed, and a reconnaissance ship released dozens of reconnaissance drones to rush into it, and the situation inside was transmitted back.

A brilliant nebula appeared in the field of vision. There was a star system on both sides of the channel. After confirming that it was safe, the reconnaissance ship dived in. After the detection radar scanned, the alarm sounded immediately.

"It has been confirmed that this star field belongs to the subspace. We have discovered traces of civilization, traces of psychics, and void Zerg soldiers..."

"The channel target has been determined. The subspace diameter is 350,000 light years."

"Void Zerg are approaching, please prepare for battle!"
