There are a total of 7 space fortresses in Ha Yue Province, which guard the space settlements formed by the center of each inhabited planet in the province from the inside out.

Among them, the inhabited planet guarded by the No. 5 fortress is called Oasis Star, 60% of the surface area of this planet is a desert, and there is basically no surface water, but its groundwater system is very developed, which makes many oases appear in the yellow sand.

On the Oasis Planet, each oasis is a city, and the population is not small, with a total of more than 800 million, more than twice as many as the White Rock Star guarded by Fortress 3.

After Zhang Yuan came to power, he started the greening project on Oasis Star, and in half a year, the desert of Oasis Star disappeared by 10%, a large number of new cities sprung up, and the resident population increased day by day.

Although there are many deserts on the Oasis Star, its natural landscape is still quite good, with the assistance of interstellar level technology, the living environment is very good, and its only disadvantage is that it is too close to the Arcturus Nebula.

At the closest time, the distance between the two sides was less than 300 light minutes!

For this reason, the Oasis Galaxy, where the Oasis Star is located, has become the galaxy most threatened by the Starry Sky Beast in Heyue Province.

A standard Oasis year is about 400 standard days, with an average of one Starbeast invasion every 10 standard days, and one large Starry Sky Beast invasion every 100 days. Every Oasis year, there will inevitably be a beast tide impact, and the time is also very fixed, which happens when the Oasis Star orbits to the closest point to the Arcturus Nebula.

The invasion of starry sky beasts is a bad thing for the residents, but it is a great thing for those starry sky beast hunters, although those starry sky beasts are dangerous, but they are treasures all over their bodies, so the oasis galaxy is a gathering place for interstellar hunters, and at the same time, the No. 5 space fortress is also the strongest military force in Heyue Province except for the No. 1 fortress.

Wang Lihao is the newly rising star hunter in the Oasis galaxy.

He is a native of the Earth Federation, of course, this is a secret, he didn't say anyone, he is adventurous by nature, but he doesn't like to be constrained, after arriving in Heyue, he couldn't stand it after being a soldier for 2 months, so he simply signed a confidentiality agreement, and then retired from the army.

Half a month later, he pulled up a team and formed a hunting spacecraft team called 'Big Musket', and after another two months, his Big Musket team captured a half-adult black-scaled dragon and made a profit of 30 million star shields, and instantly became famous.

On this day, Wang Lihao completed the supply of the fleet at Battlestar 5, and then set off for the edge of the Arcturus Nebula as usual.

His fleet consisted of a total of three armed ships, and the equipment on them had just been renewed, all of which were the best within the limits of the law.

When the spacecraft slowly slid away from the No. 5 fortress, Wang Lihao stood in the command cabin of the main spaceship, looking at the No. 5 space fortress near the spaceship, especially on the various super weapons equipped on the space fortress.

'It's all good stuff, and if my fleet ever had one of these weapons, I'd be able to wake up laughing from my dreams.' ’

The superweapons in the fortress are basically new, and they are amazingly powerful, and any Star Hunter can't help but drool when they see it.

Among these super weapons, the most shocking one is the dual-whirling kinetic planetary cannon that was equipped just 2 months ago!

Wang Lihao's eyes were focused on this planetary cannon most of the time.

The firing body of this cannon is three times larger than Wang Lihao's three spaceships combined, even more than 2 warhawks, and its barrel is made of extremely expensive obsidian titanium, with a gun diameter of 70 centimeters, a cannon length of 38 meters, and a kinetic energy cannonball that weighs 30 kilograms, and the maximum launch speed is 0.98C, which is already a superpower in the field of light-like speed and relativity.

Its power is extremely strong, with a controllable range of 3 light minutes, and a single shot can blast a planet with a diameter of no more than 3,000 kilometers!

No matter what starry sky beast comes, as long as it hits, it can be beaten with one shot, and there is not even scum left.

Of course, the cost of the main gun is extremely high, a main gun is worth 120 billion star shields, and a shot costs 2 million star shields, if the rapid-fire mode is turned on, one shot in 1 second is 120 million star shields, which is completely a money-burning machine.

Ye Liuyan was reluctant to install such a big killer for his own residents, this thing was fashioned by Zhang Yuan in the three months he came to power. Three months after its installation, the cannon has yet to be opened, but it has already given a huge sense of security to the surrounding residents, who affectionately call it the 'Governor's Big Black Stick'.

Under its protection, the Oasis galaxy is flourishing day by day.

Looking at it, Wang Lihao couldn't help but say to the first mate beside him: "Old Song, if our fleet can also install such a big black stick, how good it would be!" ”

The first mate of the fleet was called Song Lian, and after listening to the captain's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Captain, don't be delusional. It is a strategic weapon controlled at the first level, and money cannot buy it. Besides, this thing burns money, 2 million for a shot, are you willing to use it? ”

Of course Wang Lihao knew, but he still couldn't help the grass growing in his heart, and after listening to the words of the first mate, he smiled and said, "Everything has a case." If we develop in the future, maybe we can really use it. As for burning money, with this big black stick, even if an adult black-scaled dragon comes, it will be killed with one shot, and I'm afraid that there will be no money? ”

The first mate rolled his eyes again: "You can do it to death, but Canglong is also gray, make a fart money!" ”

"Uh~~ It seems to be oh~~ Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity~ It's a good thing." Wang Lihao sighed again and again.

At this time, the musket fleet had already taxied to the open field of No. 5 Fortress 1, and No. 5 Fortress also disappeared from the spaceship's field of vision, Wang Lihao calmed down and said: "Target: No. 14 Cloud Bay." Turn on the warp engine, 100 times the curvature, and go! ”

Curvature engine, this thing is the first to be created by the Heyue Shipyard, the technology is very popular with the people, other shipyards in the interstellar have imitated, launched similar products, but the mature and reliable core technology has always been in the hands of the Heyue Shipyard, which also brought excess profits to the Heyue, just selling the core components of the engine to collect money to receive a soft hand, the bosses of other captains have scolded their mothers, but they have to pay for the core parts.

Where there is no nebula interference, the warp engine is very useful, at a distance of 200 light minutes, at 100 times the curvature, it only takes 2 minutes to arrive.

In front of it is No. 14 Cloud Bay, the opening of the Cloud Bay is extremely small, about an irregular small opening of less than 1 light second, the dark energy density in the cloud bay is slightly lower than that inside the nebula, but it is still much higher than the ordinary cosmic space, enough to support the long-term survival of the Star Beast.

Of course, for the Starry Sky Beast, this cloud bay is very barren, and the strong disdain to come to this place, and only the weak will be squeezed out.

"Slow down! Decelerate! Turn on the Rhodium Magnetic Detector!" Wang Lihao ordered loudly.

The main control brains of the ships in the musket fleet are far less advanced than those of the military warships, and most of the orders need to be completed by the crew, but fortunately, the crew members are experienced, and with the captain's orders, the crew skillfully adjusts the flight status of the ship.

After 3 minutes, the detective shouted: "Captain, there are no obstacles in the 30 light-second distance ahead, and the entrance to Yunwan is safe." ”

"Into the Bay!" Wang Lihao shouted.

With this order, the large musket fleet formed a triangular array, and drilled into it from the narrow entrance of Yunwan, as soon as it entered the interior of Yunwan, the stellar light from the Oasis Galaxy behind him instantly dimmed, and the space around the spaceship suddenly darkened, giving people the feeling that it was like a deep-sea dive, and suddenly entered an undersea cave, and the surrounding area was pitch black, as if entering a cloud of thick ink.

Hunting in Cloud Bay is a high-risk task that only the most adventurous and capable hunting fleets would dare to do.

Looking at the cosmic space of the surrounding black holes, Wang Lihao's heartbeat accelerated 'bang bang', this was not fear, but excitement, he rubbed his hands and continued to issue orders: "Go to the No. 1 trap and see if there is any gain." ”

Traps, which are the most commonly used hunting methods by Yunwan hunters, are safe, efficient, and low-cost, and only as a last resort will the starry sky hunters fight head-on with the starry beast in space.

The experienced crew immediately corrected their course and flew towards the trap they had set earlier, while the ship's rhodium magnetic detector increased its power to its maximum and the observers kept their eyes glued to the screen for fear of missing the details of the detection.

After about 40 minutes of flying like this, the large musket fleet was less than 2 light minutes away from the trap, and they had now penetrated deep into Cloud Bay to reach 13 light minutes, which was a very risky depth. Here, a powerful starry beast could burst out of the dark nebula at any time and place.

All the crews of the entire fleet were attentive, and no one would make the slightest sound unless necessary, and the fleet of muskets glided silently in the dark clouds.

After flying for a few more minutes, the rhodium magnetic detector suddenly issued a rapid alarm sound of 'Ding Ding Ding Ding ~', the bright red alarm light flashed quickly, and the detector said loudly: "Captain, there is a big guy coming towards us, the speed is very fast!" ”

Wang Lihao also saw the situation on the detection screen, which showed that a slender object with a body length of more than 800 meters was rushing towards them at a speed of 0.4C, and the distance from the fleet was only 80 light seconds.

As soon as he saw this picture, Wang Lihao couldn't help but scold: "Damn, it's the black-scaled dragon!" 800 meters long, this is definitely an adult! ”

Without hesitation, he ordered: "Turn!" Veer! Exit Cloud Bay now! Trap No. 1 is gone! ”

The musket fleet began to turn frantically, and in the process, the first mate Song Lian whispered in Wang Lihao's ear: "Captain, the maximum speed of our ship is 0.35C. ”

0.35C, a cut slower than 0.4C, and they have never had any experience against an adult black-scaled desolate dragon, this time, the fleet is afraid that it will be more than lucky.

Wang Lihao's heart was pounding wildly, this time, there was excitement and fear, he stared at the detection screen, hesitated for less than 1 second, and ordered loudly: "Boat 3, throw away the energy bait!" ”

Starbeasts feed on energy, and for them, the energy core of the spaceship is the ship's delicious food, which is the main reason why they attack the spaceship, and in response to this, the hunters have made energy bait, the purpose is to divert the attention of the Starbeast.

Ship 3 immediately complied, and small civilian fusion cores were activated and scattered behind the ship.

"Turn on the warp engine! Let's go! Wang Lihao said loudly.

The three civilian armed ships warmed up the warp engine, preparing to flee for their lives, and under normal circumstances, as long as the warp engine was running, they were basically safe, and no starbeast could catch up with them.

"Dididi~"

Unexpectedly, the rhodium magnetic detector sounded a rapid alarm again, and the observer shouted frantically: "Captain, there are also black-scaled dragons in front of us, and there are three of them...... We are surrounded!"

Wang Lihao scolded: "Damn, these brutes must be looking for us to take revenge!" Fly separately! Don't turn off the warp engine, rush over! ”

Although forcibly turning on the warp engine, it is very easy to crash into the desolate dragon in front of you, and both sides will lose, but at this time, as long as you are surrounded, you will definitely die.

On the one hand, there is possibility, on the other hand, mortality, and the captain of any hunter's fleet knows what to choose.

The three ships didn't care about what kind of fleet they formed, and they all began to run frantically for their lives.

Three seconds later, the No. 1 ship with the best performance, that is, Wang Lihao's spaceship, successfully started the warp engine, the curvature was adjusted to the highest, and the speed reached 400 times the speed of light, and the entire spaceship turned into a white light, rushing towards the exit of Yunwan at an incredible speed.

At the moment when the spacecraft crossed the exit of Yunwan, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from the spaceship's communication channel: "Ah~~~"

Wang Lihao glanced at the communication table, and found that the pattern of the No. 3 spacecraft had been dimmed, his heart sank suddenly, clenched his fists, and slammed it on the arm of the chair beside him.

A spaceship is worth 4 million star shields, and the crew is more than 500, each of which is an experienced hunter, and he finally gathered it, so he lost it, it's a pity, it's a pity!

He immediately picked up the communicator and asked, "No. 2, No. 2, how is the situation on your side?" ”

A crying voice came from the communicator: "Captain, we're done, the warp engine is out of order, and it won't start!" ”

"How so? I was obviously tested when I came out! ”

"I don't know, I just can't start anyway. The main control brain said that it was a failure of the energy pipeline...... We're now surrounded by dragons, we're done....... Ah~~~~Boom~·Zizizi~~"

There was a heart-rending scream from the communicator, followed by a violent roar, and Ship 2 was finished.

'Click~' Wang Lihao's hand unconsciously forced, and Shengsheng pinched out a crack in the communicator, and he gasped heavily, his eyes blood-red.

The crew of the spaceship were all his good brothers, and there were more than fifty of them who had come from Earth to adventure together. In the past few months, they have been born and died together, drinking together, fighting together, and now they are dead, and his heart is like a knife.

'Black-scaled Desolate Dragon, I'm not done with you! Wang Lihao's teeth clenched loudly.

At this moment, the detective suddenly shouted again: "Captain, look at the exit of Yunwan, the situation is not right!" ”

Wang Lihao glanced at it, and his eyes immediately widened: "How is it possible?!" ”

He saw that one by one, the black-scaled desolate dragons actually drilled out of the Arcturus Nebula one after another.

Each of these desolate dragons was more than 800 meters long, and the largest one even reached 1,800 meters long, and there were hundreds of them, and after leaving the nebula, they all rushed towards the Oasis Nebula.

"Quick! Fast! Speed up to the Oasis Galaxy! Correspondent, contact the Oasis System Battlestar and give them a warning! Wang Lihao yelled.

With more than 100 adult black-scaled desolate dragons, their attack power is not inferior to that of 10 heavily armed warships, which is definitely a catastrophe for the Oasis galaxy!
