Qu Jianlei agreed with Paranoid and Hua Xiezi's judgment: Sanhe Company's abnormal performance showed that the possibility of it being a trap was very small.
As for saying it's 100% sure it's not a trap? Come on, there are never absolutes in the world.
Anyway, Sanhe Company's forced siding with others has already caused serious consequences, so it's normal for them to be the first to be retaliated against.
Because someone provided accurate information, ship 8384 took off again only an hour after landing.
They were not the only ones at the market. When they saw the tattered starship leaving, someone quietly picked up the communication equipment.
Qu Jianlei could predict what would happen after he left, but there was nothing he could do about it.
You can't control all the people in the market, right? That would be really crazy.
Therefore, the retaliatory action that is about to be carried out will definitely not be hidden from those who are interested.
However, he has no other choice. Who makes him short of people?
We used to work alone, but now we have organized a team, but we still lack people.
If an intelligence network can be established as envisioned by the Fourth Master, there will be no need to worry about no one doing the job.
But this assumption was too far-fetched, and Qu Jianlei didn't want to think about it that much.
His current thinking is: This operation is straightforward, saves time, and is quite good.
As for the resistance encountered may increase, that doesn't matter... If the resistance is not big, how can it reflect the tyranny of the Rhodiola rosea team?
Although there is a suspicion of self-deception in thinking this way, objectively speaking, it can indeed better demonstrate strength.
Since it is possible to attract enemies from other directions, after the 8384 ship took off, it chose the target and galloped all the way.
Qu Jianlei chose a star with a diameter of more than 400 kilometers, named "Tear".
This star is in the shape of a drop of water, originally like a teardrop, and the entire mining process of this star also makes people cry.
When the star was first discovered, there were many kinds of precious metal mines on it, and they were very rich, which triggered fierce battles.
But it is a pity that during the subsequent mining process, everyone discovered that precious metal ores only exist in the outer shell of the star.
Ordinarily, this situation is not uncommon. After all, mineral veins are natural products. If there is any, it will be there. If there is no, it can be stopped instantly.
But on this planet, all the mineral veins are distributed on the surface, and the content is very high, but they are all interrupted suddenly, which is unreasonable.
If exploration hadn't shown that the stars were indeed formed naturally, everyone would have thought that this was a scam.
Therefore, it is quite normal for this star to be called "tears".
Sanhe Company also participated in the struggle and paid a heavy price, and finally managed to seize a mineral deposit.
Unsurprisingly, they didn't feel proud for long before they discovered that the mineral vein was exhausted.
Later, other companies gradually withdrew, but Sanhe Company felt that the location was good and there were a large number of abandoned mines.
So they made some modifications and set it up as the company's center in the asteroid belt.
Originally they wanted to build a market similar to Lanyun, but facts proved that they thought too much.
But the center of Sanhe is indeed located here, and a hospital, maintenance shop, etc. are also built above.
The environment and equipment and facilities here are much better than those at Lanyun, but for some reason, they really can't afford to open a market.
However, because of its complete equipment and facilities, it has also attracted many individual tourists to come here for a rest, and the service industry has become relatively developed.
——However, it just so happens that I can’t do it in the market. There is really no reason for this kind of thing.
Qu Jianlei chose this place because it is the hub of Sanhe.
Sanhe Company has stakes in many mines in the asteroid belt, but they are only shareholdings and do not have independently operated mines.
——Maybe it happens privately, but this is obviously not information that ordinary people can grasp.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to go to those mines. He had no interest in making new enemies, so he came to "Tears".
Before he arrived, the people in Sanhe heard: Rhodiola rosea showed up and wanted to support those who bought the card!
They also knew what they had done. Although they had no choice but to do so, it was a high probability event that Rhodiola rosea would come to their doorstep.
However, people in Sanhe are not sure when the other party will come looking for them, and where exactly they will find them.
This is also the disadvantage of casting the net too wide. If you want to defend yourself, you don’t know where to defend yourself.
Generally speaking, the Tear Star is still the first defensive focus, but it is obvious that other places must be defended as well.
It is not impossible if the other party takes advantage of this misunderstanding and directly attacks a certain mining farm.
The asteroid belt is about bravery, but also about profit. If the latter situation really happened, no one would say that Rhodiola rosea is not particular about what it does.
You know, Rhodiola rosea sells asylum cards, which only ensures that those who buy the cards will not be sucked into the whirlpool.
If the buyer is really involved in the whirlpool, he will react, but the specific reaction... This person did not say.
The purpose of Rhodiola Rosea should be to "give the opponent some color", so attacking the mine can be said to be a reasonable choice.
Qu Jianlei was worried that the opponent was too tough to attack, but everyone in Sanhe also had a headache - there were too many places to defend!
To sum up, although people in Sanhe are highly nervous, they cannot concentrate all their fighting power to guard the rhodiola in the star of tears.
8384 galloped all the way, and when it arrived, without saying a word, it opened fire on the space monitors surrounding the star.
Qu Jianlei didn't even declare war. When he found that there was no strong fleet nearby, he just opened fire.
After he started attacking, he connected to the public channel and said, "Rhodiola is doing business, and those not involved will immediately retreat to the open space!"
"Irrelevant people should retreat to the open space immediately. I won't say it a third time... I'll give you one minute!"
The public channel was silent for three or four seconds before someone shouted, "Supreme Lord, please listen to our explanation!"
"I'm not here to listen to explanations!" Qu Jianlei replied coldly, then raised his hand and cut off the communication on the public channel.
"This is simply... too much bullying!" In a room on the ground, a middle-aged man cursed through gritted teeth.
The man is an A-level earth attribute and has a black mole as big as a soybean on his nose.
This is the second-in-command of Sanhe Company in the Planet of Tears. He was injured in Star Wars a while ago and is recovering from his injuries.
"Quickly!" Someone rushed in, "Go to the open space, otherwise it will be too dangerous here!"
"This is a hospital!" The man with the black mole snorted coldly, "Does he dare to risk the disapproval of the world and openly attack the hospital?"
The hospital on the Planet of Tears is not large, covering a total area of less than 10,000 square meters, and the building area will not exceed 2,000 square meters.
It is divided into three floors, all underground, which is really shabby.
However, despite its small area, the level of medical equipment and professionals here is not bad, ranking almost in the top five in the asteroid belt.
Moreover, attacking a hospital is considered a violation of the bottom line in the empire and will be despised by everyone.
Even if there is a war, if two warring parties attack each other's hospital, it will be regarded as cruel.
The wounded soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness, so attacking the hospital can only appear to have no limit - don't you have any wounded soldiers at home?
However, the people who rushed in were also a little angry and couldn't help but refute loudly.
"Sir, you are right, but as a company, when we coerce others to join the war, have we considered public outrage?"
When the man with the black mole heard this, all the words were stuck in his mouth.
Yes, attacking a hospital is against moral cognition, but is it right to coerce others into participating in the battle?
All this time, he didn't think this was a problem, because all the strong people were doing it.
It is only natural to coerce the weak. Even the military will take similar actions when faced with emergencies.
But now, he had to face a problem seriously: does the military really have the power to do this - it is called conscription!
Sanhe Company is just a commercial organization, so why should it forcibly recruit others to join the war?
So this is really not a recruitment, but a real coercion!
It's just that everyone was used to it being smooth sailing and no one pointed it out.
Now that he had hit a big wall, he had time to reflect on it, and then he was shocked to find: We seemed to be a bit unreasonable!
Before he could think more, he felt the entire basement shaking violently.
Immediately afterwards, even the room began to shake, and everyone was spinning as if they were on a roller coaster.
The next moment he found that his body was floating, as light as if it had no weight.
He reached out and grabbed a metal pipe, "Oops, the anti-gravity system has failed... How dare he, how dare he!"
However, it was the wail of a defeated dog after all. Amidst the deafening sound of artillery fire, no one cared about his reaction.
It was not just the 8384 ship that opened fire above the star, but another repaired anti-smuggling warship also joined the attack.
In addition, there are two attack ships and two assault ships.
The number of starships is not particularly large, but now all the firepower is on, and the overwhelming attack looks extremely fierce.
Although the Tears Planet is not small, the hub of Sanhe Company does not occupy a very large area, only four to five square kilometers.
Even with this small area, it is vast and sparsely populated, and this place was originally just a gathering point.
Even because there are no mines to protect, they don't have many forts for defense, with only five main forts.
One of the five forts is located in the middle, and the other four are about four kilometers away from the central fort.
All the forts' artillery fire can only protect dozens of square kilometers of land.
It's not like no one thought that Rhodiola's team would come to attack, but there was no time to temporarily build a fortress.
In addition to the five main fortresses, there are also some scattered small firepower points, so I won’t go into details.
Seriously, there are two armed merchant ships in the basement of the star.
After the star was attacked, the two merchant ships quickly set off.
It took about two minutes for all the crew to board the ship and take their places.
From this reaction speed, we can know that Sanhe Company is highly alert to the intrusion of the Rhodiola rosea team!
