This is a dark red desolate planet with a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers and a gravity about 1.1 times that of the Earth.
The atmosphere is weak, the temperature changes drastically, and water is produced, but it evaporates quickly.
The planet has six satellites, so it was named Hexagonal Mineral Planet by Shandai.
Yamazaki was speechless. Kate, an American, didn't know, let alone Arrita, an alien.
Yamazaki understood that Shandai had entered the Warring States Period, the era of hegemony.
The fleet rested on the mineral star for a week, and the repairs of battleships, mechas and other combat units were basically completed.
A bat pattern was also spray-painted on it, marking the establishment of the Batman Star Thieves Group.
The leader is mutant Kate, the acting leader is Yamazaki, and the deputy leader and behind-the-scenes commander is Shandai.
The allies include the Alita Star Thief Group, whose leader is Alita, and the Green Ocean Star Thieves Group, whose leader is Green Pearl disguised as mutant Kate.
Kate wears two hats, and her regeneration ability comes in handy.
…
In the past week, the processing center was built and placed in the valley next to the iron ore mine.
This was created by Shandai, and she enthusiastically helped to turn the entire iron mine into iron sand.
Yamazaki and Kate also searched for many minerals and gathered the necessary raw materials.
The combat unit created here is named the Hexagonal Legion.
Because some elemental substances are not available on this planet, but it does not affect the use of combat units. At most, the performance is slightly worse.
For example, it was originally resistant to high temperatures of about 10,000 degrees Celsius, but now it can only withstand temperatures of about 9,500 degrees Celsius.
When raw materials are sufficient, the processing center can assemble an average of 10 robots, or 5 space fighters, or 4 space tanks, or 2 space mechas per hour, and can build a mechanical army every 50 days on average.
…
At the same time, when the Slaphis fleet was patrolling, the number of battleships increased a lot, causing the atmosphere around the Slaphis planet to become a little tense.
The interstellar pirates and the officials of Planet Slaphis couldn't help but guess what happened.
…
Earth calendar, November 9th.
The Bat Star Pirates Group and the Green Ocean Star Pirates Group dispatched to intimidate the interstellar pirates, but the other party just fled.
The news spread quickly, causing the king of Planet Slaphis to become nervous. He spread the news saying that he was willing to talk and discuss anything.
…
Planet Slaphis is an intelligent reptilian creature, similar to the lizard-men and turtle prime ministers in the comics on Earth.
It follows a natural route, with basically no industry and primitive agriculture.
The specialty products are flowers and honey. The quantity of flowers is uncertain. The quantity of honey sold is usually about 100,000 cubic meters per year.
In the central galaxy, the wholesale price per cubic meter is 1 million berries, which is 100 billion berries.
Half of it is given to Starfleet as protection money, and the other half is used to buy daily necessities for people all over the planet.
It has no military expenditures and has not established an army.
People live a primitive but relatively prosperous life, both spiritually and materially.
…
One robot costs 100,000 Berry, one space fighter costs 200,000 Berry, one space tank costs 400,000 Berry, and one space mecha costs 500,000 Berry.
One battleship costs 1 billion berries, one shuttle carrier costs 5 billion, and one expeditionary starship costs 20 billion.
This is the purchase price, and the actual price is ten times or a hundred times lower.
Industrialized mass production, plus the interstellar age, with mines everywhere, makes manufacturing costs quite cheap.
The battleships you buy are not valuable because they generally cannot be sold.
Any interstellar pirate group can purchase battleships at this price through the Yonko and Shichibu.
The captured battleships are second-hand goods. Instead of selling them at a low price, it is better to keep them for your own use.
Even if there is a fool who offends all the Yonko and Shichibu, he can still join Starfleet and buy battleships at a discounted price.
…
The Bat Star Pirates responded, stating that they had no intention of plundering the planet Slaphis, but...
But nothing was said, and the result was that the atmosphere became even more tense.
With the king's intervention, Commodore Duke of Slaphis' fleet reported to the superiors that the surrounding area was not peaceful and there were battle losses.
Obtained a supply, 1 expedition starship, 2 shuttle motherships, 80 battleships, 80 mecha legions with 160,000 space mechas, and 20 maintenance legions.
…
Three days later, November 12th.
Yamazaki was ready and finally remembered the conditions of each cabin of the expedition starship.
Shandai and Arrita shouted excitedly, a new round of hunting began, the target was the expedition starship and the processing center.
One processing center can produce 1 mecha army with 2,000 mechas in 50 days, and 10 processing centers can produce 2,000 mechas in 5 days.
…
Then we found a patrol group. The opponent was the 4th and 5th brigades, with a total of 100 ships.
This time, Yamazaki and Shandai attacked together and implemented beheading tactics.
But the other party did not come close, and stayed 1 light second away for a confrontation.
Obviously, the other party also guessed the method they used to approach the flagship.
The two sides, one with 71 ships and the other with 100 ships, faced off for half an hour.
Starfleet came with two more fleets of 100 ships, and the Bat-Star Thieves Alliance retreated.
Yamazaki did not allow Shandai to carry out the attack plan. Don't rush. Sometimes you will take advantage when you suffer a loss. You have to be patient.
…
Next, as happened almost every day, the Bat Star Thieves Alliance searched for patrols everywhere, provoked confrontations, and then retreated, letting the other party scold them as much as they wanted, but not fighting.
The Slaphis fleet was immersed in an atmosphere of pride, and its arrogance and pride were slowly cultivated by Yamazaki in every victory.
…
December 1st is the birthday of Yamazaki and Shandai.
The fleet of the Bat Star Thieves Alliance is once again approaching the 1 light-hour zone outside Slaphis.
About an hour later, 200 warships from four groups, the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th, came over. This time they appeared directly within 1 light second, and then prepared to release the defensive force field and launch an attack.
The two sides formed a "T" shape, but this time the one under attack will be the Bat Star Thieves Alliance Fleet.
Obviously the other party was impatient, but Yamazaki had been waiting for a similar opportunity and had already formulated procedures.
When the opponent teleports directly to the bottom of the fleet, the fleet immediately activates the prepared defensive force field and simultaneously teleports over a short distance to the bottom of the opponent.
Therefore, just when the opponent released the defensive force field, the Bat Star Thief Alliance fleet deployed the defensive force field. Before the opponent's overwhelming energy light arrived, they teleported over a short distance and entered the attack position.
The situation immediately reversed, and this was more than half a month's success.
Yamazaki retreated sadly again and again, which fed the Slaphas fleet into a arrogant mood.
The two sides have developed a kind of inertial thinking in long-distance confrontations.
When the inertial thinking of the Slapheus fleet is broken, they will think that the enemy will still do that.
But I'm sorry, that is actually a big hole specially dug by Yamazaki. He rejected Shandai's attack proposals again and again, and has been waiting for the Slapheus fleet to jump into it.
