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

Chapter 70: Exploring the Lord Trading Area
The arrival of the Human Alliance support fleet means that there will be no Star Fleet here.

After settling the merits and signing the transfer contract, the Star Fleet set off again after a few steps, heading towards the unknown distance.

The Human Fleet arrived continuously during this period. When the Star Fleet left, three legions had already arrived. One of the legions plunged into the space channel and headed for the subspace to establish a forward base.

"Five hundred million merit points, plus the materials from the bugs, the total income does not exceed one billion contribution points. Except for the loss of fuel, armaments and maintenance of several warships, the profit is less than 200 million. This war is a bit of a loss!" The blue fat man muttered about the loss, but there was a smile on his face. He earned 200 million contribution points in two hours. If it were within the territory, there would be no such good thing.

Jack shook his head and smiled, "Actually, we suffered a bit of a loss this time, but there is nothing we can do. Our strength does not allow us to do so, so we can only sell the priority development rights. If we were strong enough, this subspace would actually be perfect for us to take over as our initial base."

Liu Wen spread his hands and said, "Level 7 combat power is too far away from us. The technology we have is far behind even Level 6. If we have enough special warships, we can barely fight against Level 7 combat power. Now the best thing to do is to make as much money as possible."

"Believe me, it won't be many years before we have level seven technology. By then, we won't be so embarrassed when facing the attacks of rules."

The blue fat man and his companions felt very upset when they thought about their two battleships being hit two by one under the energy column that had weakened them by an unknown amount. Even a super flagship could not withstand such damage.

"We still have three days to go before we reach our scheduled destination. We will pass through a developed star field where a large number of pioneer lords gather. We can buy the latest intelligence there, replenish fuel and weapons, and rest for two days so that the crew can relax." Jack pulled up the star map and pointed to a star field in front of the fleet.

"This is the commercial center of Star Field No. 12. The pioneering fleet radiates outward from here. Although there is no human fleet stationed here, the dozens of surrounding star systems are territories carefully managed by pioneering lords. Ordinary enemies cannot break in." The blue fat man naturally knew this location. After Liu Wen selected this star field as the target, he consulted a lot of information and also made great efforts to ensure the logistics of the fleet.

Liu Wen had no objection to this. It was good to take a break. He had been on edge all the way. As soon as he left the defense line, a level seven battle broke out. The mental state of the fleet members was not suitable for long-term tension.

With Liu Wen's approval, Jack will arrange to notify Michelle and others and let them handle the fleet matters at their own discretion.

"There is only half a month left before the March deadline. According to the current progress, there should be no problem in taking over a territory. After the Sera Industrial Zone is moved here, the stockpiled weapons and equipment can quickly establish a complete defense system." Liu Wen thought about the Sera Industrial Zone and looked quite hesitant. In terms of time, there is indeed enough time, but there are too many unexpected situations in opening up the star field.

"Boss, it's okay. If we can't take too many, it's still easy to take a remote star system." The blue fat man knew what Liu Wen was worried about, so he spoke out to comfort him.

The fleet advanced rapidly as the few people talked. As they crossed the battle area outside the defense line, the star systems began to become gradually denser, and the number of fleets coming and going also gradually increased.

The regional channel developed by the Human Union was officially activated, and the Star Fleet officially joined the big family of star field development.

"Are there any hunters in the C013 star system? Let's form a team."

"Peng Lao Hu is so fucking not doing his job again. This old guy actually provoked a group of wandering civilizations from nowhere and took them everywhere to cause trouble, causing a chaotic battle in the star system from B02 to B15. After fighting for a long time, no one knew why they were fighting."

"Hahaha, I told you guys a long time ago that you should start fighting this guy right away, but you didn't believe me. Now you know what's going on!"

"Dimensional energy has been discovered in the D63 star system. It is suspected that a dimensional space portal is about to open. Fleets operating in the surrounding area should pay attention."

"Are there any Namekian slaves who want one? I'll sell them to you at a low price, and I'll give you the Namekian specialty blue crystal fruit as a gift."

……

"Is it so lively to open up the star field?" Jack and his companions looked at the lively messages in the regional channel and the trading information in many sub-channels. They felt like they had returned to the human territory. However, the glaring slave trade without any disguise made everyone understand that this was indeed a lawless place and was not covered by human laws.

There is no slave trade in the human territory, only in lawless places like Paradise Island. There are also commercial advertisements in the channel, which are basically various weapons and equipment and information about the development of star fields. These private intelligence are not within the scope of the Human Union information update, and you need to spend time exploring or purchasing them yourself.

Human fleets all have identification codes, and they can move freely within the human sphere of influence as long as they do not enter to develop territory. Therefore, they slow down along the route until they enter the commercial star field due to the busyness of the route.

After arriving here, Liu Wen and others finally realized the danger of exploring the star field. The number of commercial fleets and escort warships traveling in the waterway was far greater than the number of transport ships.

Moreover, the common ones operating here are medium-sized transport ships. Large transport ships, which are large in size and slow in speed, are rare. Moreover, the warships and spaceships seen are all level 6 technology, and the worst are level 6 civilian warship models. As for whether they have been modified, it is unclear.

When passing the route node, Jack went to the service space station to purchase some intelligence information about the commercial star field. After discussion, he decided to go to the A03 star system for repairs. This is a purely commercial star system, mainly engaged in the service industry.

The fleet could not enter the star system and could only park in the void outside the star system. The fleet members took turns to rest for three days.

Liu Wen and his companions also drove the shuttle to the neighboring A04 star system. This is the trading area. There are dozens of metal platforms with a diameter of thousands of kilometers in the void. A force field separates the inside and the outside, thus forming a unique space trading area.

"You guys go and have a look around on your own. If you have anything to say, keep in touch." Liu Wen waved his hand to let Michelle and her group move freely, while he and Fat Blue and a few others walked into Trading Area No. 2, ready to check out the local business situation and make preparations for restarting the arms trade later. The arms trade in the open star field without any restrictions can make much more money than within the territory.

After calling a hovercraft, Liu Wen and his three companions began to stroll leisurely.

"Which street should we go first?" Jack asked while driving the hovercraft.

"Let's go and see how the arms trade is going here first. I saw a lot of warships parked in the void before, and they all seem to be new models." The blue fat man couldn't wait to make a suggestion.

"Most of the warships here are produced by some powerful pioneering territories, and a small number are transported from human territories. The warships produced by these lords themselves may not be as good as our warships." Jack was not optimistic about these warships, mainly because the industrial systems of these pioneering lords were mostly incomplete, and many equipment had to be imported from human territories. In addition, they also needed warships, so the good ones would definitely be used by themselves first. How many good things could be sold to the outside world? "It's good to go and take a look. In the future, arms trading will also be a major source of income for us. Just treat it as a visit to the market." Liu Wen smiled.

Jack shrugged, adjusted the direction of the hovercraft and headed towards the second battleship trading area.

"Come and have a look. The sixth-level psychic puppet produced by the Immortal Palace is on sale at a low price. Only 998 yuan, only 998 yuan!"

"This is a Daqin Heavy Industry mechanical warship from the Shangxia Republic. It has first-rate firepower and is the perfect choice for cannon fodder tactics."

"Sir, would you like to buy a battleship? Take a look at the void battleship produced by the Divine Court. It has powerful firepower, simple maintenance, and can be remotely controlled. It is a good product for home travel and robbery."

"The Angel Reincarnation Pool of the Divine Court Kingdom's artificial arms is capable of producing biological weapons of level four to six. It is affordable and will never betray you!"

……

"Why are there so many weapons produced by the Fairy Palace and the Divine Court for sale, and most of them are individual weapons." The blue fat man looked at the angel reincarnation pool projected by the merchant with curiosity. It is called a pool, but in fact it is just a pool in appearance. It has a full set of biological breeding equipment inside, which can breed biological angels according to the preset model. It is a specialty of the Divine Court.

Jack also looked at the products of these two unique countries with curiosity. It was difficult to see their military products in human territory, and civilian products were even rarer.

Shenting and Xiangong are two countries that focus on two different spiritual paths. Shenting focuses on faith and gathering people to become gods. Relatively speaking, this way of practice grows faster, but it also has the highest hidden dangers and is easily led astray by faith and into extremes.

The Immortal Palace has some Qi Refiners in the direction of which artificially create levels at each stage, and growth is relatively difficult, but they have the strongest combat power among their peers. Once they grow up, they are basically the main force on the battlefield, and the weapons created by various supporting cultivation techniques can often exceed the limit. The disadvantage is that they are easily aborted and consume a lot of resources.

"Angel Reincarnation Pool, it would be great if there was an advanced version of this thing." Liu Wen looked up at the projected Angel Reincarnation Pool, his eyes full of desire.

A passerby heard Liu Wen's words and burst out laughing: "Hahaha, I am dying of laughter. The advanced reincarnation pool is something that can produce level 7 combat power. The price is sky-high. Who can afford it if it is placed here?"

"Brother is right. We should work hard to make money first. With money, we can buy whatever we want." Liu Wen glanced at the other party and had to admit that he was right. The angel in front of him who could produce three level six combat forces a day dared to ask for 150 billion contribution points. The one who could produce level seven combat forces would probably have to price over one trillion. Really, few people could afford this price.

When the passerby heard Liu Wen's words, he looked at him and asked, "Are you the new pioneer lord?"

"How did you know?" Liu Wen looked at himself. Was it so obvious?

"Meet me, Lord Liuhe, Liuhe." Liuhe smiled and stretched out his hand.

After shaking hands, Liu Wen asked, "How did you know I was a new pioneer lord?"

"Because you are standing here looking at the Angel Reincarnation Pond with envy." Liu He laughed, "This thing has no combat power, no quantity, high investment, and low output, and low cost performance. Do you think there are any locals who would go to see it besides you guys?"

Liu Wen looked around and it seemed to be true. There were many people stopping outside the puppet shop in the Fairy Palace, but there were only a few people in the shop selling angel reincarnation pools in Dimension.

"Is the price-performance ratio so bad? Then why are there so many places selling individual weapons on this street?" the blue fat man asked curiously.

Liu He explained: "Individual combat is very important in the development of star regions, not because of its strong combat power. As long as it is not at level seven, no one can catch up with the fleet in combat power."

"The main reason is that there are a lot of subspaces here, and space channels often appear. In order to detect and explore the details of alien races, sending spies is undoubtedly the most cost-effective. However, for the sake of safety, these man-made weapons are naturally the most suitable choice. This is why individual weapons are popular."

"I see. It's true that individual modifications and infiltration to collect data are far better than remote detection by probes. The information is more accurate and timely." Liu Wen nodded in approval. Perhaps another reason is that some subspace warships are difficult to enter and can easily be detected and counterattacked by the alien races inside.

"Let's exchange communication methods. I'm in the slave business. If you need me, you can contact me." Liu He took the initiative to exchange communication methods with Liu Wen.

"What's the use of alien slaves? To extract psychic energy?" Jack didn't understand this at all. The cost-effectiveness of using aliens to extract psychic energy is not as good as digging more psychic energy mines.

Liu He patiently explained, "These alien slaves are excellent sources of soldiers and labor. Many occupied areas are not suitable for mechanical operation, and these alien slaves can come in handy, especially in ground wars and subspace battlefields. Space-type ones are okay, but you can't destroy all land-based ones with naval guns, so ground battles are inevitable."

"These biological slaves can come in handy now. With only a negligible investment, these slaves can not only feed themselves and reproduce, but also create value for themselves. After being educated well and becoming vassals, they can even replace part of the fleet."

"It's just that there aren't many people who like to use slaves. Most humans believe in humanity first. Unless they encounter a very valuable alien race, they usually destroy them directly instead of capturing slaves."

"I see." Jack and his companions finally understood how slaves were used here. It was not attractive to them. There were tens of millions of aliens working as slaves in the Sera Industrial Zone, and there were also millions of alien cannon fodder soldiers serving in the fleet.

If he had not agreed early, Liu Wen would not have wanted the existing ones as they were of little help to him.

Liu He waved goodbye, and Liu Wen and his party continued to stroll around and inspect the market, especially the selling prices of warships of various models and grades and the prices of raw materials. After looking through them from beginning to end, Liu Wen also had an idea of ​​the future arms trade.
