Chapter 1782: Chapter 1782
Although a large retreat would affect the morale of the soldiers, Aurelia had already prepared for it. Therefore, the mood of the soldiers in the fifth fleet was relatively stable.
“Aurelia, where is our destination for this retreat?”Jiang Fei asked after Aurelia boarded the Aurora.
“We have received many orders from general l.u.s.ter to retreat to the Forrest Galaxy and station ourselves in the odor galaxy,”said Aurelia.
“Sigh, speaking of which, it has been a long time since I last met my old boss!”Jiang Fei sighed. Ever since he had joined the merchant alliance, l.u.s.ter had taken good care of him. Even if he insisted on doing things his own way.., the other party did not dismiss him and investigate him.
“HMM! I reckon that after we arrive at the Forrest Galaxy, you will be summoned by the alliance,”said Aurelia.
“HMM! It’s good to meet them! I have something I want to talk to them about!”Jiang Fei nodded.
After that, Jiang Fei handed everything in the fleet to Aurelia. Aurelia then officially treated the aurora as her flags.h.i.+p.
Rax would definitely welcome Aurelia’s arrival. After all, they had worked together before and their relations.h.i.+p was quite good!
“Sister, you’re finally back. I missed you so much!”Lux was very excited when she saw Aurelia. Her level of evolution was very close to 0541’s.
“Alright! Merge the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p into the fleet. I’ll send the navigation mark to you!”Aurelia said.
“Okay!”Lux immediately piloted the Aurora to join the Fifth Fleet.
After that, the long march began. The entire fleet’s interstellar travel was much slower than a single aurora s.h.i.+p. After all, most of the Fifth Fleet’s s.h.i.+ps were transport s.h.i.+ps. Although these s.h.i.+ps carried a lot of cargo, their speed was not very fast.
On the seventh day after Jiang Fei and the others left Turandot, a scout fleet from “Players”arrived.
“We found an NPC’s stronghold, but it seems to have been abandoned!”
“Send a drone to check and see if there are any resources worth retrieving. These few days of patrolling have been really tiring, and we did not even get any profit!”
“Yes, Captain!”
“The seven formations of drones have been released!”
“Data collection…”
“F * ck! I’m going to curse! Do these npcs have to be so stingy? They can’t wait to take the toilet paper away!”
“So Cruel?”
“Humph! Captain, look for yourself. The resources we can recover from this abandoned base can only be around 100 pioneer coins, which is not enough for the fuel cost of my scouts!”
When the image was transmitted to the captain’s s.h.i.+p, the captain started to curse!
“F * ck my a.s.s! If we keep playing like this, we won’t be able to play this game anymore! I lead my team on such dangerous missions every day, and I have to pay for it myself! Is there any justice in this world? !”
“Captain, that looks like a resource star over there!”
“Let’s go over there and take a look! I hope that it will give us a surprise!”
“The reconnaissance plane has already gone over!”
“Alright! Let me know when the data comes back!”
A moment later, the communication channel of the “Players”was filled with ecstatic voices.
“Captain! We’re Rich!”
“What’s going on?”
“Look!”
Following the voice, a message was sent back to the captain’s s.h.i.+p.
“Holy Sh * t! These Money Grubbers actually did not take these? !”
At that moment, the resource star that Jiang Fei had previously built was still in operation. The automated machinery was still continuously digging up all kinds of minerals and processing them into metal ingots.
“If these resources are recycled, they can be sold for around two million pioneer coins! Captain! We’re Rich!”
“Well done! Boys, with these, we’ll go back and buy high-level skill books and s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps. Finally, we don’t have to be cannon fodder anymore!”
“Captain, the equipment on the resource star is still in operation. If we don’t tell anyone, this place will become a cash cow that only we know about!”
“Yeah!”
For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire “Player”party became lively. It was as if they had discovered a large amount of treasure. These resources were enough for them to drive a frigate, moreover, they did not have to worry about the maintenance fees in the future.
“Fourth brother! Sixth Brother! You two bring the transport s.h.i.+p over!”
“Monkey, Er Mao, you two send down the collection drones. d.a.m.n it, this job is really done!”
Just as these “Players”were excitedly preparing to harvest their wealth, they did not notice that at the periphery of the resource star, a miniature satellite the size of a human head was monitoring everything!
“Intruders detected!”
“The backpacking plan has been activated!”
As a wave of information flashed on the small satellite, the internal system of the resource star was activated.
“Captain, the transport s.h.i.+p has landed. This is a new one that we bought. The transport capacity is just now. These resources can be taken away in one go!”
“Alright! Hurry up and load the s.h.i.+p!”
“Fourth brother, is your new s.h.i.+p insured?”
“I don’t have the money for insurance. I even borrowed more than 100 pioneer coins!”
“Sixth brother, what about you?”
“I just bought it. I didn’t have time to get insured before I rushed out to complete the mission. Anyway, there are no npcs in this s.p.a.ce zone, so it doesn’t matter!”
“That’s true!”
Just when these “Players”were operating the drones to carry the resources in high spirits, the star core inside the resource star started to become unstable!
This time, Aurelia did not leave a single hair behind after moving Turandot, but she left behind all the mining fields on the resource planet. This was clearly abnormal. She was clearly trying to set someone up.., however, those “Players”were very naive and did not think too much about it.
Therefore, after the start of the “Cus.h.i.+on Plan”, a large amount of nuclear fuel was injected into the planet’s core. Then, under the high temperature and high pressure, the nuclear fuel reached the critical point of fusion reaction!
“Boom!”A nuclear bomb with an extremely large yield detonated inside the planet. A terrifying amount of energy was released, but it was blocked by the outer sh.e.l.l of the resource planet.
One had to know that the resource planet must be a planet rich in minerals, and rich in minerals meant that the Earth’s crust was hard. A hard crust meant that the power that erupted from within could not be released!
When a balloon was filled with air and was constantly pressurized, what was the consequence?
The answer was — “Bang!”
“What the F * ck!”With a curse, this “Player”party was completely wiped out. Not only did they not get a single cent, they even lost themselves.
Although the “Player”would not really die, their s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p had really exploded! The “Game development team”was not doing charity work. If their s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p exploded, they could only buy it themselves. The system only gave them small s.h.i.+ps that were of the level of armed merchant s.h.i.+ps. Moreover, this small team had just bought a transport s.h.i.+p, so they did not have any extra money in their hands, therefore, this explosion directly sent them back to before liberation!
