A few days later. Tsinghua Network
"Ah …" The Volga boss yawned, casually played a card, and asked Herlous, "Hey, how long are we going to stay on this primitive planet?"
At this time, the mercenary group officers were playing cards and chatting in the hall. Hearing this, they all turned to look at Herlous.
"We can only leave this place after we solve the problem of this planet. This is not something I can control." Herlous shook his head helplessly.
Everyone subconsciously turned to look at a military factory outside the window. That was Han Xiao's machinery modification room. At this time, Han Xiao was repairing the captured assault spaceship.
The mercenary group had stayed on Blue Star for more than a month. Other than selecting players every day, they basically had nothing else to do. Most of the time, they were extremely bored.
From the perspective of the galactic mercenaries, Blue Star's entertainment was naturally very lacking. Other than playing cards, there was no other activity. Many people felt that their bones were about to rust. If there was a reward for this matter, many people could still bear with it. However, this was Black Star's order, and they could only helplessly follow it and hope that this matter would be resolved quickly.
After this failed attack, Dark-star did not come to Blue Star again, as if they were afraid of the power of the combination of Black Star and Godora's fleet. However, there was news of Dark-star attacking other calamity planets from time to time.
However, as Godora deployed more fleets to the calamity planets, Dark-star's attacks often ended in failure. For example, on Blue Star, Godora's battleships were on standby in outer space, and it was about the same for the other calamity planets. However, the size of Dark-star's fleet had also increased, and they were still pressuring Godora.
Godora had to split its forces to protect more than ten calamity planets, so its fleet was spread out and its military strength was tight. On the other hand, Dark-star did not have such a disadvantage and had the initiative.
The Garton Star System was in deep trouble. On the other hand, Blue Star had only been attacked once, and they had even defeated the enemy. Thus, the disaster relief situation was good, and the environment of the Six Nations and the Sanctuary was rather stable.
Inside the military factory …
Dang dang dang …
Some small auxiliary robots climbed up and down the scaffolding, welding the armor of the spaceship. Electric sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of metal knocking could be heard. It was a busy scene.
Han Xiao controlled the mechanical hand, transforming it into various tools to repair the damage to the spaceship. This type of large mechanical hand was not only used for combat, but it was also often used to modify large machines. It was like an enlarged hand that could be controlled like an arm.
Some time ago, the mercenaries collected the wreckage and brought back enough materials. He then started to repair the captured spaceships and was almost done. He also had some experience in repairing large machines, so it was better than nothing.
"Check the damage," Han Xiao stopped and said.
"Performing system self-check, hum … Ship damage level 0%, hum …" The AI of the assault ship had been replaced by Philip.
In the past few days, other than repairing the assault ships, Han Xiao had also created some precision machines that enhanced the virtual technology, increasing Philip's computing speed. Risda had also optimized the structure of Philip's algorithms, increasing Philip's efficiency by two to three times.
Under Philip's control, the performance bonuses of the machines were much higher, and the bonuses provided for his Virtual Intrusion had roughly doubled compared to before. Philip was still a distance away from Risda. Constantly strengthening and nurturing one's own artificial intelligence was the long-term job of a Virtual Mechanic, and they could obtain very high benefits from it.
"The last spaceship is also repaired, and it can be used normally." Han Xiao nodded with satisfaction. With a snap of his fingers, the various repair machines were automatically retracted.
The mercenary group's current fleet was mostly rented travel transport spaceships, and the nine assault ships had replenished the fleet's firepower. Furthermore, these were all his spoils of war, so his harvest was quite bountiful.
After drinking a mouthful of water, Han Xiao took out his communicator and browsed through the mercenary group interface.
The size of the mercenary group was already hundreds of times larger than before they returned to Blue Star. After this period of operation, more than 100,000 players had been recruited by him, and the number was still increasing every day. It was already fully deserving of being called a large mercenary group!
While the current strength of the players was not strong enough, with the growth rate of the players, all of them had potential.
"When we enter the galaxy, I will be able to provide them with an ocean of mission resources, and they will give me an ocean of wealth in return. With so many members, the status of the Black Star Mercenary will skyrocket once again. At that time, the name of the Floating Dragon Field Team will no longer be an empty title."
Thinking about the effect of a mercenary group with hundreds of thousands of members, Han Xiaoxin was filled with anticipation.
However, due to the Mutation Disaster, his mercenary group had to remain in Blue Star for the time being. Now, they were only accumulating strength. Only after the Mutation Disaster was dealt with would it be time for them to enter the galaxy.
Han Xiao had always been paying attention to the movements of Dark-star. He was waiting for Dark-star to carry out the next step of their plan. That would be the best time to hand over his hand.
…
After leaving the military factory, Han Xiao headed to the meeting room. According to the schedule, Godora and the upper echelons of the Sanctuary would have a meeting to discuss disaster relief. Such meetings would be held once every few days, and he was already used to it.
When he arrived at the meeting room, Bennett, Nagojin, and the others were already waiting there. After Han Xiao sat down, the few of them nodded in acknowledgment before starting the discussion. It was all about disaster relief, and Han Xiao was not concerned about it, so he did not interrupt.
After talking for more than half an hour, they finally stopped talking about this topic. Nagojin changed the topic and said, "Currently, Godora and Dark-star are in a stalemate. The enemy is constantly attacking the calamity planets, and the War Bureau is constantly sending reinforcements. Both sides are in a tug of war."
When Han Xiao heard this, he said, "That doesn't sound good."
Nagojin said helplessly, "We don't know how many fleets Dark-star has, but we have to protect more than a dozen calamity planets, and we don't have enough manpower. This is Dark-star's plan to force us to split up our forces. Although the situation is now in a stalemate, if Dark-star is willing to send a large force to attack a calamity planet, we definitely won't be able to stop them. Therefore, the situation is not optimistic, but the enemy did not do so."
"Then do you have a way to deal with it?"
"Yes." Nagojin nodded. "Due to the fact that our forces are scattered and far away, the War Bureau has decided to use the Military Orbital Hyperdrive Base Station. The deployment will be completed in a few days."
Bennett asked curiously, "What's that?"
Han Xiao thought for a while and said, "You can think of it as a military teleportation portal."
The Military Orbital Hyperdrive Base Station was a strategic weapon in galactic warfare. Within a certain range, it could lock onto two or more coordinates through a wormhole generator and form a fast teleportation channel between the coordinates, allowing fleets that were far away from each other to quickly reinforce each other.
This device was like a space fortress, and it required a lot of technology. Only high-level Gods who knew how to build stable stargates could build it. Godora's Military Orbital Hyperdrive Base Station was an important military resource purchased from the Star Cluster Gods in the Shattered Star Ring, and it was extremely expensive.
To deploy the Military Orbital Hyperdrive Base Station, anchor points had to be set up at various coordinates, and the base station had to be located at the center of the range formed by these anchor points.
With this device, Godora made up for the weakness of having their forces spread across more than a dozen calamity planets. These guard fleets would be able to protect each other, and no matter which planet Dark-star attacked, reinforcements would be able to arrive within two to three minutes, reducing the travel time by millions of times. As such, Dark-star's attack would no longer be a threat.
The fact that the War Bureau was willing to use this strategic weapon meant that they did not want to be in a passive position.
Han Xiao raised his brows and said, "This is an expensive strategic weapon. Dark-star will definitely attack your base station."
"The enemy will definitely do so." Nagojin was not worried.
Since the War Bureau dared to use the base station, they naturally had enough fleets to protect it and even take the initiative. Even if Dark-star's whereabouts were unpredictable, they would definitely attack the base station. This meant that they had enough time to prepare.
Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he shook his head.
In truth, the people of Godora were not really worried. Although Dark-star's attack had caused some losses to Godora, the calamity planets were still the ones that suffered the most. The people of Godora still thought that they could control the situation.
However, he knew that Dark-star was not so easy to deal with.
Now that the base station is out, the next step of Dark-star's plan should be out soon, Han Xiao thought to himself.
Nagojin still wanted to say something, but at this moment, a commotion could be heard from afar.
The next moment, the commotion spread rapidly from afar to near. Like a tsunami, it filled the entire shelter and was everywhere!
Boom boom boom!
The ground rumbled, and even the windows trembled from the commotion. Bennett suddenly stood up with a look of shock.
"What's going on?"
Bennett hurriedly turned on the screen in the conference room and pulled out the surveillance footage of the various locations in the Sanctuary. The originally orderly Sanctuary had turned into a mess, and the long-awaited Mutation Disaster had appeared once again. Even the refugees who had been injected with the suppressant had acted up.
The situation outside the Sanctuary was even worse, and even the guards of the Sanctuary had acted up.
Even the people who were supposed to maintain order were gone, and the order that had been established with much difficulty collapsed.
The commotion of tens of millions of people was like a tsunami!
Squeezing, roaring, tearing, fighting …
Apart from the chaotic battle, there were even more people who were running away from the Sanctuary. It was as though the Sanctuary had brought them great fear, and they only wanted to escape. The people who were running away formed a long line and ran in all directions. The dense crowd outside the Sanctuary quickly spread out, and some people fell to the ground and were instantly drowned by the crowd that was chasing after them.
The players were dumbfounded, and very quickly, someone realized that the progress of the [Mutation Disaster] had plummeted!
"This, this …"
The sudden chaos shocked both Bennett and Nagojin.
Han Xiao's expression changed slightly, and he stood up.
