Boundless darkness, eternal coldness.

In this vast starry sky, one after another starships that are severely disfigured and deformed are sailing at an extremely slow speed.

Thanks to the unobstructive space environment, if the starship ship has an initial velocity, it will continue to run until it hits interstellar dust, comets, or is captured by the star's massive gravitational pull.

Oletru sat in the command seat on the bridge, looking sluggish.

He looked at the chief of staff of operations in a daze, drooping a face, and his slightly purple lips trembled slightly.

Seeing Oletru like this, the chief of staff's voice became weaker and weaker, and he seemed to feel unbearable, too bottomless.

"Your Excellency, if you don't agree, then we ...... Let's fight to the death!"

The chief of staff said aloud with great reluctance.

Listening to this tone, I am extremely unconfident.

Oletru smiled miserably, waved his hand, and said, "Fight to the death? How do you fight? Do you plan to wait for the other party to arrange personnel or robots to come and accept our surrender, and detonate all the nuclear missiles in stock?" Or do you have another way?"

"I ...... How could I have any other way? Our existing 13 starships, in fact, are just lumps of scrap metal, and if you want to send space fighters, you have to knock out holes in the cabins that solidify into a whole...... Anyway, our combat effectiveness is almost zero!"

Oletru sneered: "Then you just said that you want to fight to the death? Since the combat effectiveness is almost zero, what are you fighting for?"

The chief of staff squeezed out a smile and lowered his head speechlessly.

Oletru took a deep breath, shook his head secretly, and sighed: "If you want me to say, just do what the other party asks! Be a prisoner or a slave, it is always a way to live, I, Oletru, have lived for so many years, played with countless women, enjoyed all kinds of beauty, and even had 9 organ transplants in this life, of course, I killed nine clones......

"In short, I'm not thinking about myself, I should also think about the younger generation, it's not good for everyone to fight hard, our Ernuo Industrial Group is an enterprise rather than a country, and everyone can't take their lives!"

With that, Oletru lay back and leaned back comfortably in his chair, no longer squeaking.

Seeing Oletru look like this, the chief of staff shrugged his shoulders and immediately went to make arrangements.

A short time later, a series of radio wave signals were emitted.

The stern power propulsion system of each starship began to adjust its course and carry out thrust reversing operations, and all kinds of methods were exhausted to reduce the speed of the ship according to the enemy's requirements.

9 km/s, 8 km/s...... 100 m ...... 0 meters.

The speed gradually slowed down, and the starships, which were still huge despite heavy losses, soon came to a standstill and floated motionless in space.

In strict accordance with Qin Tian's requirements, they dispersed and reduced their speed to zero.

In interstellar warfare, if the interstellar ship gives up its speed, it is basically equivalent to giving up resistance, which is like in naval warfare, if the battleship does not sail or turn, and does not have any maneuver to evade action, it will undoubtedly become a 'fixed target'.

And the starship stays in space, not like a battleship stays in the sea, it is easy to be affected by the wind, ocean currents, tides, etc., and becomes drifting with the current, or some position changes, Oletrou's fleet is now suspended in space, so it is really not moving.

At this time, if Qin Tian was unwilling to accept their surrender, he only needed to use the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer and the concentrated energy main cannon to pull a few rounds of salvos, and absolutely all of them would be destroyed.

But......

Qin Tian didn't want to break his word and get fat, he could do everything when he was fighting, and he could do everything he could, but since the other party had already done it on his own terms, he had to keep his promise.

Of course, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Qin Tian did not control the Dragon Soul 01 interstellar destroyer to accept the surrender, but sent an order to the Leng Feng interstellar assault ship, asking it to come as quickly as possible, and at that time he was going to send a number of space airships and carry combat robots to board the ship to accept the surrender, once there was any resistance or other changes, at most it would lose one assault ship.

After issuing the order, Qin Tian did not rest assured that the fleet of the Erno Industrial Group was on the way, and adjusted the course and went straight to the planet Lake, as a resource-based planet that the Erno Industrial Group has been painstakingly operating for many years, the planet has a highly developed mining industry, and because it produces high-quality minerals, the local garrison has a lot of troops.

But the strict defense and strong troops are all in the past, Oletru almost evacuated all the starships and troops to return to the planet of Caborah, but the result is a failure, and now it will soon officially surrender, so the planet Lake has naturally almost become an 'empty city'.

Shout~

The Dragon Soul 01 Star Destroyer galloped to the planet Lake at a sub-light economic cruising speed.

A distance of several hundred million kilometers is only about an hour for a warship flying at a speed of nearly 300,000 kilometers per second, and it also counts the time for acceleration and deceleration.

When Qin Tian approached Planet Lake and was about to launch a pre-war reconnaissance, the Cold Front's interstellar assault ship on the other side was also about to arrive.

However, plans have not kept up with the changes.

Although the Dragon Soul 01 Star Destroyer sent unmanned space reconnaissance aircraft and satellites very smoothly to reconnoiter Ryker, it was a little troublesome for the side to accept the surrender.

The interstellar warship of Erno Industrial Group was instantly damaged by the nuclear explosion storm with hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature and high heat, and the hot melt evaporated around the hull of the battleship, which is equivalent to losing a lot of weight in an instant, and at the same time, the overly irritable high temperature also caused the metal material armor layer of many cabins to be deformed and then condensed together.

Now their warships are like popsicles in the summer, which are deformed by heat after being exposed to the sun, and become like metal coffins, solidified into a ball, and the people inside can't get out at all, and the intelligent robots who go to accept the surrender can't get in at all, and there is no way to surrender.

Unfortunately, the opposing warships have shrunk a lot, and naturally many of the equipment stored in the cabins have also been melted away, and they are now trapped inside defenseless, without even professional demolition tools.

If you want to cut too thick metal lumps out of the channel in the extremely low temperature space environment, then ordinary cutting machines and the like will not work at all, and you must have plasma cutting or laser hot melting.

In view of this situation, Qin Tian had to let the Leng Feng interstellar assault ship first send a space airship to get the battleships together, even pulling and dragging them together, and then the ship's engineering robot carried out extravehicular operations, first evaluated, and then considered whether to directly cut and drill, or simply use the assault ship's ion cannon, or even the shaped cannon to blast it away.

Accepting surrender and encountering this kind of trouble, Qin Tian really never dreamed of it.

However, what he thought of was that after Qin Tian conducted a reconnaissance of the Planet Lake, he confirmed that the space base was almost empty, and there were no defense facilities and equipment with major threats, in line with the principle of reducing casualties and avoiding killings, Qin Tian contacted the chief of staff of the opposing fleet and asked them to order the surrender of the remaining troops on the Planet Lake.

The result?

The order was issued, but there was no unity of opinion among the remaining troops, some advocated surrender, others resolutely resisted, and there was not even a unified opinion.

Some people even claim that there is no such thing as surrendering or surrendering, and if they want to get the planet Lake, then come up with enough conditions, and they accept the peaceful negotiation of the acquisition, otherwise they don't mind blowing up the existing space defense facilities and the mineral equipment on the planet......

Such a strange request can be put forward, and Qin Tian can be regarded as an eye-opener.

For this kind of, Qin Tian didn't bother to talk nonsense, but on the side of the Leng Feng assault ship, new news came back.

The situation of the 13 battleships that the enemy was about to surrender was worse than the other.

If a battleship is regarded as a super office building, then this building is equivalent to only the middle room, and the other rooms are either gone, or they are crushed and collapsed and solidified together.

The detection results showed that for some warships, after this battle, their wreckage was equivalent to having a 'layer of armor' more than ten meters thick.

Therefore, the question now is not how to accept surrender, but how to get out of the people who are 'imprisoned' in the wreckage of the battleship.

It is not easy to penetrate the metal wall that is more than ten meters thick, even if a large number of engineering robots carry out outer space operations, ion cutting and laser ablation, it will take a long time, and it is estimated that when it is opened, the people inside will have been trapped to death.

In view of this situation, Qin Tian could only let the other party make a choice.

Or wait slowly for the engineering robot to make a hole, although this method is slow but it is safe, choose a fixed position and start construction work, it depends on how long the people in the battleship can survive.

Either they lined up and let the Cold Front's interstellar assault ship bombard their battleship and use energy weapons to punch holes, but the danger is that it may not be penetrated without two hits, and the energy flow splashes into the battleship, which is dangerous.

No matter which one they choose, it is not good for Oletru and his subordinates who have already chosen to surrender, they can't imagine that it is so difficult to surrender, and they don't know which option to choose.

As for the side of Lake Planet, in fact, it is not difficult to surrender, but the difficulty is that their opinions are divided, and some people want to take the opportunity to raise the price and ask for various benefits and preferential conditions, and there are even people who are ashamed to say that after surrendering, the salary and welfare conditions of the position cannot be changed.

As time passed, Qin Tian didn't give any news, but they were very excited, and kept making all kinds of strange requests.

Nima!

Is this still a war? How can it be like a merger and acquisition? And we have to consider all kinds of conditions, should we be so nonsense?

In order to avoid hearing more strange requests, Qin Tian directly used the highest management authority of the fire control system of the Dragon Soul 01 Star Destroyer, and then selected an interstellar missile to send to Planet Lake.

Moreover, the warhead was carefully selected, and when it left the planet Adams, it had the largest explosive yield in the inventory ammunition, which was equivalent to three billion tons.

Such a 'blockbuster ammunition', Qin Tian directly gave it to Planet Lake.

A dark and deep universe.

The interstellar missile with the thrust system of the faster-than-light engine has traveled more than 100,000 kilometers in the flickering light.

About 30,000 kilometers above the surface of the planet, there are a large number of satellites.

There are all kinds of resource exploration, data relay, remote sensing detection, etc., in addition to serving the resource extraction of the planet, but also to keep an eye on the vast starry sky and be alert to any threats.

In addition, there are several interstellar ports scattered all over the place, in addition to stationing interstellar warships, the biggest function in peacetime is to accept interstellar cargo ships and transport the minerals mined from the planet back to the planet Carbola.

But today, many ports are empty, but a variety of space warning and defense facilities continue to work.

When the interstellar missile roared in, the satellites monitoring the space also found the target and issued an early warning, but the speed of the interstellar missile was too fast, leaving no time for the defense facilities and equipment of the planet Lake.

In a flash!

A dazzling ball of light suddenly expanded and burst, emitting an unparalleled light like a supernova explosion.

The super light brightness makes tens of thousands of kilometers around the planet Lake seem to have turned into a white expanse.

Countless satellites, space stations, interstellar ports, spaceships, etc., were vaporized in an instant in this incomparably crazy heat, and all kinds of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials that were slightly farther away were melted and peeled off at a very fast speed.

On the ground, those mineral machinery and equipment, which boast of being expensive and extraordinary, are deformed by hot melt ablation in an instant, or are damaged by the rapid collision of various garbage such as strong gravel rocks.

And at the same time.

The fierce radiation storm instantly enveloped the entire Ryker planet and its nearby airspace, because there was no atmosphere tossed, so the intensity of the radiation reached a very crazy situation, and the sweeping power drowned out all those blind voices, and no one put forward all kinds of strange requests and opinions anymore.

Even on the other side of the planet, many working satellites are directly ablated and overloaded in the pulse torrent, and become useless space junk.

After the storm raged, the light dimmed and sank.

The location of the nuclear explosion where the planet Lake was hit, the original red piece, rock mass, gravel, etc., were melted into fluids by heat, and now under the 'quick freezing' of the extremely low environment of outer space, it quickly solidifies.

At the same time, there was a devastation everywhere.

The cooling towers, gas and oxygen supply equipment, and air storage tanks in those mines have now been destroyed, and all kinds of white gases have come out and quickly drifted into space.

Not long after, a Fighting Falcon space fighter flew to the planet Lake at great speed, and the built-in bomb bay was like sprinkling peas, releasing high-precision small detection satellites at intervals.

After flying around the planet, the synchronous satellite communication and reconnaissance network was built, and the satellites quickly began to perform their work, and the Ryke planet carried out scanning and exploration.

After a few minutes, the results were summarized and analysed – "No Survivors".

Like a dead land, the planet Lake is still so rich in resources, still so silent and eternal, without those noisy sounds, this starry sky is finally clear and quiet......
