On the eighth day after the fire broke out, a new division ship continued to advance towards the Link Nebula through energy fluctuations.
It is worth mentioning that Feng Wangwang was seriously injured this time, and Qu Jianlei had to take it to the cave.
Anyway, such a big victory cannot come without paying a price.
Three more days later, the division ship finally sailed out of the area with the most violent energy.
The space where the battleship is currently located has also been affected by energy, but it is much better than near the war zone.
Qu Jianlei began to arrange for people to bring back four scarred division ships and find a place for repairs.
However, judging from the current situation, if these four division-level ships are pieced together, two intact ships can probably be produced.
The Alliance's warships are really used less and less.
"By the way, remember to pay the maintenance fee this time. Even if the military doesn't charge it, we will still pay it."
He wants to try to break away from the empire bit by bit.
If it weren't for the future journey, the two division-level ships would be very important combat forces, and he didn't want to give the military a chance to help.
Mrs. Jia understood his thoughts very well, "Then I will take care of this matter, but is it safe to teleport now?"
"Let's wait for two more days," Qu Jianlei said, not even bothering to divine. "Anyway, after entering the world of Asura, there is still a lot of time."
At this moment, Daoren Jiao asked, "Boss, your invisibility...is the rule of space?"
What he actually wants to ask is - "Are you absorbing the heart of time and space?"
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "My sea of consciousness is recovering too slowly. I need to understand some space rules."
"Sea of consciousness... space rules?" Daoren Jiao was speechless. How did you connect these two unrelated things together?
But he didn't dare to ask that, because the Heart of Time and Space... let alone him, even Master Wu Xuan didn't understand it very well.
Otherwise, Wu Xuan would not have had an accident when absorbing the sacrifice.
Qu Jianlei nodded calmly, "The Sea of Consciousness is really a dangerous thing. I suggest that you don't touch it easily."
Two days later, Jia Shuiqing teleported away, and with him was Qing Hu.
No matter what accidents happen at Dawn Base, the two of them can handle it well enough.
Immediately afterwards, they encountered Asura's lair again and numerous bats.
Forget about bats, after seeing the division ship in Asura's Nest, the first reaction was to run away.
This time, everyone was finally able to free their hands and sent small ships to chase them.
Those maimed nests and asuras were all taken away by Yun Guan without mercy.
Of course, there are still front-station nests to escape from, and it is difficult for all these deserters to stay.
However, as they went deeper, the number of Asura lairs did not increase significantly.
Based on the analysis of this phenomenon, they most likely beat Asura so badly that they no longer dare to fight.
The appearance of these small nests is simply because Asura wants to determine their direction of progress.
Of course, the appearance of all this may also be the Asura version of showing weakness to the enemy, and maybe they are brewing a new round of war.
However, Qu Jianlei does not think that the opponent will launch a war in the short term after a heavy defeat.
——Even if they dare to fight, they still have to be able to muster the fighting power in their hands.
It's just that we should be vigilant, there is no doubt about it.
In the next ten days or so, wherever the division ship passed, it was still calm.
Asuras have always been watching, but there has never been a proper battle.
The battles that occasionally broke out were closer to massacres, and even the enemy's corpses had to be recycled.
On this day, Jia Shuiqing and Qing Hu came back and said that the military had accepted the business of repairing four division-class ships - for a fee.
However, the maintenance period will be longer, at least three months.
What surprised Qu Jianlei was that the military actually sent another division-class ship to his team.
Not only is it a standard battleship, but it also has the Digital Phantom logo spray-painted on it.
According to Jia Shuiqing, the military had been asking when the main force of Digital Phantom could return from the beginning.
Until she said that the maintenance of the warship would be paid, and she hoped that the repair would be fast and good.
This answer shocked the military and asked, "How can we collect money?"
Jia Shuiqing's reply is - if you don't charge us, we will find someone else to repair it!
As long as you are intelligent enough, you can understand the meaning behind the words.
The military took a brief look at the injured division ship and was shocked by the damage on it.
How brutal a battle must this have been?
Many weapon launch systems have shown obvious excessive wear and tear - what kind of combat intensity can lead to this result?
In any case, it can be determined that the Digital Phantom has disappeared for so long, and it must have gone to war, rather than hiding to save trouble.
Moreover, some of the damage to the four division ships was not caused by known weapons at all.
Therefore, it is basically certain that this team is fighting against alien races.
Coupled with the "paid maintenance" condition, there is no doubt that the Digital Phantom has deliberately alienated the Empire.
So the military immediately said that this payment... is not impossible, but we must first determine the damage.
As experts arrived to assess the damage, the military put forward new suggestions.
If you repair the battleship and continue to fight, the empire... also has division ships!
And the Alliance's division-level ships... your ammunition reserves have to have an upper limit, right? The empire doesn't produce these models either.
After explaining this, within a few days, the military directly took out such a division-level ship!
Jia Shuiqing was a little surprised and said that she couldn't do it - fighting against aliens was the team's choice and had nothing to do with the empire!
But the more she said this, the more the military wanted to give it - it would be impossible not to give it, and it would scare them to death.
The military stated that fighting against the invading alien races is everyone's responsibility, and the empire must provide strong support.
At this point, no one even mentioned that the artificial intelligence was out of control - there was really no way to push it.
Jia Shuiqing thought about the same truth. Everyone fought desperately against the aliens, weren't they also defending this country?
And honestly speaking, ammunition is really a big problem.
The amount of alliance ammunition currently stored in the team is not small.
But if several more high-intensity battles break out, it may not be enough.
So she said that we can also pay for the cost of this division-class ship, but we will pay it in installments.
The military repeatedly refused, but Jia Shuiqing's attitude was very firm - if you don't accept the money, we won't.
The military was really helpless and said that you don't have to pay for it. If you have any good things, just give us some.
Jia Shuiqing directly gave them a large storage ring.
Since Qu Jianlei created large storage rings, he has created some for all team members, as well as a few for public use.
The storage ring Jia Shuiqing gave away was not too big, only about ten cubic kilometers.
But such a storage ring is enough to accommodate seven or eight regiment-level ships, and it is definitely a battle-level killer weapon.
Once the military got started, they couldn't bear to refuse it - large-sized space equipment is definitely a top-shelf good thing in the military.
The empire actually has some large space equipment, but it is not that difficult to build this thing.
Why are the holding talismans and more durable space capsules popular in the empire, but the space they can hold is limited?
To put it bluntly, the technical level cannot keep up, and it is too easy to fail during the creation process, which in turn wastes space stones.
Moreover, the stability of countless large-scale space equipment is also very poor, and it is especially easy to lose durability.
The military also knows that the Digital Phantom has larger space equipment and can even accommodate multiple division-level ships.
But...can we continue to beg unsatisfied? Everyone will have to settle accounts with Di Ming!
As for the manufacturing technology of storage rings, they even dare not mention it - if they really want it, how can they ask for it?
After testing the durability, the military could only say that the space equipment technology was a bit too advanced...
Retreating is impossible, but it still has to be worth two division-class ships, right?
Jia Shuiqing said it was not necessary and we were not short of it.
If you really feel sorry for me, then give me more ammunition.
The military's response is that there will definitely be enough ammunition, so there is no need to worry about it. If you insist on not wanting it...then just build a regiment-level ship?
After all, preparing a division-class ship for the Digital Phantom is a plan that has been planned for a long time. Once it is determined, just spray a logo on it.
But the regiment-level ship... there really was no plan before, and it will take a certain amount of time to apply for this.
Mrs. Jia couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept.
Then the military asked again, you want so much ammunition... I wonder what the fight with the aliens will be like?
Regarding this topic, Mrs. Jia is still willing to say a few words.
She said that we have fought several battles in Link Nebula and are currently looking for a way to invade the world of Asura.
When the military people heard this, they were almost dumbfounded: What, you want to counterattack the alien world?
If Jia Shuiqing hadn't said this, they could have sent each other directly to the hospital - dare you use such weak words to deceive the military?
Even if it was said by the digital phantom, they still couldn't help but ask: Are there any battle videos?
Of course Jia Shuiqing has battle videos, but if she didn't show them, she would inevitably be suspected of bragging.
And she believes that this is not something that must be kept secret.
If the empire could fully realize how terrifying the alien races it faced would be, it would seriously plan for the future.
Even if the team may leave the empire in the future, this is still a human race, and it is normal to help when it is time to help.
However, she did not make the decision independently. Instead, she consulted with Qinghu and Yuanyuan who guarded the Shuguang Base.
Then, even Yuanyuan, who was very arrogant, thought that she could give them a look.
Of course, the military had only seen edited images, and the digital phantom's methods of suppressing the images were not shown.
But even so, the military was still shocked when they saw four division-level ships rushing towards the densely packed Asura lair.
The space is full of alien war weapons. How should we fight this battle? Do you still dare to charge forward?
"This... is really shocking. You are truly the backbone of the human race. But has it been edited?"
"Sorry, the means of annihilating the enemy are too advanced, so it is inconvenient to display them."
