Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

"This mission has no fleet level restrictions, which is great." Qingyang was increasingly tempted.

Moro metal will definitely be needed later, and the reward for collecting it is 30,000 star points. Accepting the quest also gives you a map of the Moro metal production area.

It's a huge win no matter how you look at it.

The biggest challenge is finding Moro metal, but that's not a problem at all for the Eternal Fleet, which has a mascot.

Gu Xing noticed Qingyang's gaze and asked with slight confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, hahaha." Qingyang waved his hand.

Gu Xue glanced at Qingyang, then at her puzzled older brother, and suddenly realized.

"Brother Qingyang is probably going to need your luck, bro! Fleet mascot, hahaha!"

"..."

Faced with Gu Xue's unrestrained laughter, Gu Xing chose to remain silent.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xue laughed even louder.

The Eternal Truth Fleet did not stay at the starport for long; it only made a brief rest for a few hours before leaving the starport.

We drove straight towards the boundless Thousand Forest Star Lake.

"Moro metal is produced in many places in Star Lake, so let's head to the nearest area, which is more than 500 light-years away."

Qingyang studied the star map blocks given by the task issuer and quickly noted down dozens of production locations.

The vast Thousand Forest Star Lake certainly has more than just a few dozen Moluo metal production areas, but the other party can't possibly give them all to Qingyang.

The dozens of fleets provided are simply for the convenience of accepting missions, allowing for the rapid completion of collection tasks.

The fleet of a mere twenty starships swaggered into Thousand Forest Star Lake, immediately attracting the attention of many.

The T8 fleet rarely ventures into Thousand Forest Star Lake alone; it almost always either follows a powerful star fleet or operates in a group.

The fact that they dared to enter alone clearly indicates that they had something to rely on.

Qingyang's main weapon is the Yuan Sha main cannon.

With a destructive power of 20,000, it is comparable to the main gun of a regular or mid-range T7 battleship.

With all the increases, making a living in the area around Xinghu Lake shouldn't be a problem.

As soon as the Eternal Fleet entered the Star Lake region, it began its subspace journey, heading straight for its destination.

Although the dark space route is faster, it is more likely to attract the attention of some special creatures. Just in case, Qingyang decided to follow his heart.

"It's so beautiful."

Not long after entering the Star Lake area, Gu Xue exclaimed in delight as she gazed at the Star Lake scenery, which was composed of dozens of colors of energy, including pink, blue, and yellow.

Occasionally, one can also see colorful planets enveloped by large clusters of energy.

Liquids condensed from high-purity energy converge on the surfaces of these planets to form vast oceans, and energy storms occasionally form in the sky above the planets.

It was incredibly fierce, instantly unleashing a massive energy tsunami.

Even so, Qingyang and the others could still occasionally see a few enormous, indistinct figures emerging from the energy oceans on the surface of these planets.

Dreamlike and deadly.

[Warning! A dimensional rift has appeared ahead, and a level 3 energy storm is expected to occur.]

An alarm suddenly sounded in Taiyi, indicating that the Star Lake Local Area Network was in operation.

The crowd, who were engrossed in the scenery of Xinghu Lake, were startled awake.

Chang Xi reacted instantly, simultaneously controlling twenty warships to leave subspace and jump directly to the upper left.

The next moment, a pale purple particle storm, large enough to cover several light-days, instantly spread across the area where the Eternal Fleet had just been!

Dozens of massive planets offered no resistance whatsoever and instantly shattered into fragments.

Then, under the influence of a special force field, these planetary fragments slowly came together again.

With the support of this powerful force field, it is expected to become a planet again in just a few decades.

Beyond the heavens, Qingyang and the others watched all of this in astonishment.

"Did you record it?" Qingyang murmured to Changxi.

The latter smiled and said, "Yes, Commander."

Even the Gu Xing siblings rarely see such a wildly beautiful landscape.

After a brief stop, the Eternal Truth Fleet set sail again.

This time, however, the fleet sailed with even greater caution.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Eternal Fleet evaded the storms generated by the unknown number of dimensional rifts.

Gazing at the enormous, dazzling vortex in the distance, which could cover an area of ​​several light-years, Qingyang wiped away non-existent sweat.

"If we hadn't avoided it, even the elite T7 fleet wouldn't have been able to withstand this kind of cosmic catastrophe, right?"

That was really exciting!

Roar!

Suddenly, a roar came from the rear of the Eternal Fleet.

The intense overclocking sound echoed in everyone's minds.

boom!

Then Taiyi suddenly shuddered, and the combined shield was reduced by 2%!

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly as the Yuan Sha main cannon locked onto the source of the attack, its blinding light condensing.

The crimson beam hits the target directly; at this distance, unless the opponent can instantly enter subspace or dark space, it's a deadly attack.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to escape the bombardment of the Yuan Sha main cannon at all!

The explosion created numerous ripples in space, covering an area of ​​thousands of kilometers with energy bursts.

Without letting their guard down, the Eternal Fleet quickly entered sub-light speed travel.

Stay away from the blast area.

Based on the fact that the previous attack reduced the combined shield of the entire fleet by 2%, it's unlikely that the Yuan Sha main cannon could kill it in one hit.

Sure enough, less than ten seconds had passed since the Eternal Fleet left.

A colossal creature, several thousand meters long, burst out of the blast zone, its body an irregular crystal, its head grotesque, and its limbs resembling blades.

The overwhelming sense of incongruity brought with it an unusually strong sense of oppression, rivaling even the Eternal Fleet.

"Shattered Crystal Blade Insect, at least a Level 6 Star Beast!"

"I remember it had a kind of shattered crystal inside it, which seemed very expensive, 80,000 star points per ton?"

Gu Xue pondered for a moment, then revealed the origin of the enormous star beast behind the fleet.

Qingyang's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "The issue now is not whether it's expensive or not, but whether we're palatable in its eyes."

With the fleet's current strength, 800,000 starpoints per ton wouldn't be of any use!

"It's alright, the Crystal Blade Bugs can't travel in subspace due to their own characteristics," Gu Xue said with a smile, completely unconcerned.

Qingyang was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Unable to enter subspace for travel?

Then there's nothing to worry about.

The Eternal Fleet immediately prepared to enter the warp to shake off the rampaging Crystal Blade Worms behind them.

However, the next moment, a ripple silently appeared in the space.

Then a disc-shaped warship, measuring 100,000 meters in length, appeared in front of the Crystal Blade Bug.

[Bright Moon Star Beast Garden - Wild Star Beast Capture Ship]

The raised sound echoed in the control room, and then the capture ship fired five spatial confinement beams, instantly locking the shattered crystal blade insects in place.

It was then loaded onto a warship and drifted away.

The whole process lasted only about twenty seconds.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Qingyang finally commented, "The 'lively' atmosphere of Qiansen Star Lake is indeed well-deserved."

You can easily encounter powerful warships capturing star beasts.

That warship was clearly not a spaceship.

However, its power is beyond doubt; that confinement beam can lock down at least a T7 high-end battleship.

The Eternal Fleet continued its journey, and this time, it encountered no further problems until it reached the Moro Metal mining area.

Yes, we encountered it after arriving.

"That's... the Lost Omnic Fleet?" I gazed at the numerous red dots marked on the star map from afar.

Qingyang's expression shifted from helplessness to seriousness.

What is the purpose of the intelligent machine collecting Moro metal?

Chapter 40 The Moro Metal You Get for Free

Ahead lies an area filled with planetary fragments and shattered planets, where hundreds of streamlined warships are roaming.

It is about one kilometer long, with a simple external structure and an overall silver-white tone.

The ship has no windows or other means of observation of the outside world; its surface is filled with energy circuits.

Most importantly, despite its mere kilometer-long hull, the firepower it carries is quite impressive, clearly indicating that no space has been reserved inside the ship except for essential equipment.

Apart from the warships belonging to the Alliance's mechanical legions, only the warships of the Omnics meet these criteria.

The star map marks it in red, clearly indicating it is a hostile unit.
