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

Chapter 87 Madness in Reason

"Ah!" The blue fat man drank another cup. It would be fine if he, a person in charge of logistics, was forced to be in charge of the security of the joint commercial district, but there were few troublesome guys among these aliens. There was no forced buying or selling, but there were countless cases of selling inferior products as good ones. The stories of commercial fraud could be made into a movie and sell a lot of contribution points.

The chaotic and complex joint trading zone, which is full of business opportunities, is like a light in the dark, attracting businessmen who want to get rich and rush over without regard for their lives.

In the eyes of many businessmen, this joint trading zone was a temporary one that emerged due to the threat of the intelligent civilization and would not last long. Therefore, most of them were trading with the intention of making as much money as possible, and naturally commercial fraud flourished. Fortunately, the trading zone was well-armed and there was no soil for armed robbery. However, all kinds of interstellar pirates who smelled the scent in the void gathered around, and Liu Wen had no intention of sending a fleet to clear them out before a bad situation arose.

The abnormal prosperity and the various commercial crimes that resulted from it gave Fat Blue a headache, but Liu Wen told him not to take it too seriously and just to get by.

"Before it is confirmed whether the trading zone can continue after the war, it is enough to ensure the minimum trading order. As for the rest, let these merchants solve it on their own. The most important thing for you is to help Anna buy the rare materials found at the checkpoint in advance and transport them back to the industrial zone for storage." Liu Wen patted the blue fat man on the shoulder and said.

The blue fat man nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I know what to do."

"Let me ask you a question. What the territory needs now is something to increase future potential or something that can improve combat effectiveness now?" Liu Wen asked about his dilemma.

The blue fat man held his stomach and answered naturally: "That depends on how much the combat power increases and how great the potential is."

"We now have thousands of legions of soldiers in our hands. If we can have a seventh-level combat power, that's great. If we can increase the current combat power by 20% or 30%, that's great too. If we don't have any of these, then we'll choose potential."

"If we can't win, we can still run away in time. As long as we have two industrial zones and living areas, even if we don't have nominal external territories, our territory will be weak?"

"Two industrial areas and one living area together are stronger than most lords' territories, especially the industrial area, which is the core of our territory. With it, even if only a few of us are left, we can still come back. How can we be afraid of not having a territory if we have a fleet?"

Liu Wen's eyes lit up, what the blue fat man said was right.

The population of a territory is important. Yes, it is important, but compared to the core industrial zone, it is much inferior. After all, the population can be immigrated, but it is difficult to rebuild an industrial zone if it is gone. It is very difficult to just have a stable piece of land for construction.

As for combat power, what role can dozens of legions play compared to the thousands of legions of the combined fleet?
Therefore, it is most important to choose scientific and technological knowledge to increase your own reserves. With technology, you can continuously produce the required warships, conquer more territories, apply for more immigrants, and you can also develop and build planetary fortresses by yourself.

After the two separated, Liu Wen chose the third option. A brand new quantum host took shape in front of him bit by bit. The attached intelligent program projected the catalog of scientific and technological knowledge stored inside. Then Liu Wen saw several names that made his heart beat faster.

“Planetary-scale mechanical megastructure technology”

"Mobile Mechanical Battle Star Construction Technology"

"Special Particle Mechanical Manufacturing Technology"

"Special Dimensional Mechanical Construction Technology"

……

"Is this really a technology that should be possessed by Level 6 Mechanical Technology?"

Liu Wen's mentality almost collapsed. So your technology options already have three other options and some extra ones. What's the point of taking out these three options? Are you kidding me?

Planetary-class mechanical megastructures are the product of the explosive military flow. As long as meteorites and minerals are invested, the required cheap mechanical warships can be produced by themselves. Although they are cheap, they have sufficient firepower. The disadvantage is that due to quality problems, they have poor endurance, poor defense, and poor long-distance mobility.

But the advantages are enough to make up for everything. The production speed is comparable to that of the Void Zerg, and it is not picky about food. Any material can be produced as long as it is invested in sufficient quantity. The only difference is the production speed. Even at the worst, it can be equivalent to seven or eight mechanical battleship production lines. If the requirements are not so high, it can be even faster.

There is no need to explain the mobile mechanical battle star, it is the same as a planetary fortress. The only difference is that the technological direction leads to some deviations in emphasis. But what is unified is that the combat effectiveness is off the charts, and the excellent combat effectiveness is exchanged for mobility.

Special particle machinery is also easy to understand. Physical technology is divided into particle-level robots, atomic-level robots, nanorobots, etc. Each level is a huge barrier, and the next level can only call daddy obediently.

Normally, particle-level machinery is a patent of level 7 technology. Only technology that touches the rules can go deep into this range and create particle robots with sufficient endurance and practical value. Otherwise, how can people not find out if you are transmitting energy from a long distance? After discovering it, it is easy to solve it by cutting off the energy transmission. Only after reaching level 7 can particle robots have the technology to absorb external energy by themselves, thus having ultra-long-range practical value.

The deterrent power of this weapon lies in its omnipresence and its ability to gather and disperse at will. After sneaking into a warship or an important area, it can find the target and eliminate it on its own. The whole process is without any fireworks, but it is more dangerous than a battlefield because it is invisible and intangible. On a battlefield, both sides can at least avoid and escape with their swords and guns, but once the particle robot lands, it has only one choice: to detect it in time and evacuate the warship.

The last dimensional machine was the most frustrating for Liu Wen, as it involved dimensional technology, which was not something that ordinary civilizations below level nine could use even if they were just slightly related. The dimensions here did not refer to those things of dimensional creatures, they could only use the basic abilities given by the dimensions, which would not work in the universe.

However, dimensional technology is a product of universal rules, and can to a certain extent bring out the true capabilities of the corresponding dimension. For example, the fourth dimension can see the past and look into the future. Although it cannot travel through time, isn’t it awesome to be able to see through the timeline?

The fourth dimension cannot be changed, but what about the fifth dimension?
To wipe out everything from the root, is that scary or not?
Even a demigod-level civilization that has integrated its own civilization into the rules and created concepts still cannot stop the erasure on the timeline. Although the concepts are still there and civilization will eventually reappear, if someone can kill you once, can they let you live a second life?
Fortunately, after checking it, Liu Wen was relieved, but at the same time, he felt extremely regretful. It was not the dimensional technology involving the timeline as he had imagined, but technical information and application products that could be used in dimensional space and the universe. This opened a door for Liu Wen to go to dimensional space.

However, with this reward, Liu Wen suddenly found that he seemed a little unfamiliar with the current golden finger. Its rewards were no longer limited to a fixed item, but were rewards based on things it believed to be of similar value after a hundredfold increase. Liu Wen had no idea what the golden finger's judging criteria were, but if it was really as he imagined, then the other three options seemed likely to be different from what he imagined, and their value should be much greater than those he knew, otherwise the value of the four options would be too different.

After all, assumptions are just assumptions. It is easy to verify them. Just fight a few more battles and make a few more choices. After comparison, you can get the desired results.

He called his secretary and asked her to arrange for the fleet to send the quantum host back to the Sera Industrial Zone for delivery to Laura. At the same time, he also contacted Laura and instructed her to mobilize the engineering team to build the mechanical megastructure and to mobilize scientific researchers to speed up the integration of these technologies and use all the technologies that can be used immediately to increase the combat effectiveness of the territory.

After a busy period, before he could catch his breath, Luo Shaohua's adjutant Shirley came to his door again. Liu Wen originally thought that it was not a big deal because she looked calm, but the result surprised him.

"What did you say? The detector discovered a large fleet of intelligent mechanical civilization, which now has a size of more than 500 legions, and there are dozens of large mobile fortresses?" Liu Wen was surprised that the intelligent mechanical civilization came so quickly. In less than three days, they had gathered hundreds of legions of troops to come for revenge.

Shirley nodded and confirmed: "Our detectors cannot penetrate deep into the wormhole area. The force field barrier blocks the detection radar. These intelligent machine fleets were not discovered until they appeared outside the shielding force field. In addition, there are still a steady stream of intelligent machine warships joining in from behind. The scale is expanding at the rate of one legion every twenty minutes."

"Have we been the only one to discover the intelligent fleet? Have we found any traces of special warships among them?" Liu Wen asked.

"So far, no traces of special warships or level seven combat power have been found, but this possibility cannot be ruled out." Shirley's tone was still calm, as if she was talking about something insignificant.

While thinking quickly, Liu Wen asked the other party: "Have you cultivated your spiritual ability to the third level?"

Shirley nodded, a rare smile on her face.

"Don't be too anxious. It's easy for mental training to deviate and cause mental damage. Test your telepathy more often and be prepared in advance." Liu Wen was very concerned about Shirley, who was possessed by the mind of a certain big shot. He even didn't dare to accept the mental training method given by the big shot, and let Shirley practice on her own.

Now he has obtained a large number of cultivation methods through Bai Haitang's willfulness, but he still dare not practice rashly, because spiritual practice is too easy to go to extremes, and the Void Zerg is a typical example.

"Go and call a meeting of the allied representatives. Also, ask Luo Shaohua to determine whether the intelligent civilization has any signs of splitting its forces, as well as the specific size and combat effectiveness of the attacking forces, especially the number of special ships. Try to investigate as clearly as possible." Liu Wen ordered.

"Yes, my lord." Shirley turned and left.

Liu Wen relied on his authority to call up the real-time detection data. After seeing the dozens of large mobile fortresses with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, he felt a chill on his back. It turned out that the intelligent mechanical civilization was truly crazy in its rationality. They either didn't fight or went all in without considering the consequences of defeat.

Soon the meeting was ready, and hundreds of representatives from the alliance gathered together. They had all received information sent back from the front line, and they all knew about the crazy actions of the intelligent civilization. By the time the meeting was held, the military strength of the intelligent civilization had increased to 700 legions, hundreds of large mobile fortresses, hundreds of spaceships suspected to be special warships, and an unknown mechanical warship that looked like a cube with a side length of 150 kilometers.

"Everyone, you should all be clear about what we are going to face next?" Liu Wen walked up to the podium and went straight to the point without any nonsense.

"The machine civilization is determined to destroy us. The fleet they dispatched this time is likely to be larger than a thousand legions, and they have deployed a large mobile fortress with a diameter of 300 kilometers. No warship under the mobile fortress can resist the planetary-level fortress cannons on it."

"But should we surrender and let him slaughter us?" Liu Wen seemed to be asking everyone.
