Command room of the Red Star main ship.
As Chi Xue walked in, someone came to greet her immediately.
"Sister Xue, how's that guy? Is he making a fuss?"
Others also care a little.
The Red Star Fleet was originally a fleet under the Black Armor Fleet of the Tang Dynasty Exploration Group.
It was just that they were previously assigned as the vanguard in a battle for resources.
They are called the vanguard, but in fact they are just cannon fodder.
Some planets in the universe with precious resources are guarded by monsters called star beasts. They live by devouring resources and usually occupy a resource planet to evolve. They will not look for the next one until the resource planet withers.
These star beasts are also jokingly called star eaters.
The target of the resource seizure war is a planet with rich mineral resources, on which several powerful star beasts are entrenched.
The Tang Dynasty Group's target was this planet with rare resources, so it assembled hundreds of thousands of fleets to attack.
Half of the hundreds of thousands of ships were small fleets like the Red Star Fleet. Just one encounter caused heavy casualties among these "cannon fodder".
But the Datang Group is determined to take over the planet and urges them to continue the battle as soon as possible.
The Red Star Fleet's strongest force is the Armed Mecha Soldiers, also known as Chixue. They are Earth-level Armed Soldiers, second only to Heaven-level among the conventional Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang.
However, they did not expect that the star beasts on that planet had power comparable to that of celestial-level weapons. Just one contact almost destroyed the Red Star Fleet. Chi Xue tried his best but could only save the Red Star ship.
The former captain sacrificed himself and drove a destroyer towards the star beast, detonating the starship engine and giving them a chance to escape.
But the funny thing is.
After Chixue and his companions escaped, they were criticized by the Xuanjia Fleet for the Red Star Fleet's poor performance, which led to the failure of the Tang Dynasty's strategy, and they were threatened to take responsibility for it.
Chi Xue and the others were naturally unwilling to do so. Their captain had paid the price of his own death to let them escape, not to let them suffer punishment.
The predecessor of the Red Star Fleet was just a small fleet that helped transport supplies. However, as the fleet grew larger, the idea of forming a fleet came into being. Capturing resource planets and reselling them could make more money than transporting supplies, so the Red Star Fleet was formed.
This is because the first planet the fleet attacked was a red planet with red soil, which looked like a red star in the universe, so it was named "Red Star".
Their fleet was originally developing well, and the captain had some connections with the group's top management. He only needed to get a few more merits to get funding from the group, expand his fleet, and attack his own base planet.
This war for resources had left the Red Star Fleet with nothing, and now they were being held responsible? What a joke!
When assigning the tasks, they were not told about the situation of the target planet, nor were they told about the level of the star beasts. This was clearly caused by an intelligence error, but now they are being blamed.
And when the captain decided to sacrifice himself, he told her clearly, "Xiaoxue, there is no hope for the Tang Dynasty... Leave, leave the Tang Dynasty, and continue to move forward with Red Star. I'm afraid I can't accompany you any longer."
Chi Xue also discovered that there were very few dependent fleets that survived this time. Except for the Red Star Fleet, the others were more or less related to the Tang Dynasty Group.
This is enough to explain the problem. Coupled with the captain's words, it all says that the current Tang Dynasty is very unfriendly to their small fleet, as if it is carrying out a purge.
Moreover, this battle seems to be a suicidal battle, and is full of doubts.
Chi Xue came back to her senses and said, "This is determined by Red Star Intelligence's calculations. He is the most suitable candidate."
"We can't go back to Datang. We have records on file. If we register, it will likely attract the attention of Datang Group. The best way is to find a 'captain' to represent us."
"I've checked with him, and he didn't show any joy in becoming our captain. At least we don't have to worry that he'll use his captain's authority to make us spend time with him." After Chi Xue finished speaking, everyone's eyes dimmed. They knew all this.
"Once we have gained a firm foothold, let Zelan send him back."
"Let's just consider this as us being unfair to him and make it up to him later..."
......
"Your name is Zelan?"
"Captain, I'm Zelan, but I'm not from Earth, and I don't know what race I am..."
"Uh...huh?" This made Wang Teng a little surprised. He didn't know what race he was. Could he be an extraterrestrial? No wonder he had white hair. "By the way, you said you would follow my orders. If my orders conflict with Chi Xue's, who will you listen to?"
"We must obey the captain's orders!" Ze Lan straightened up and said with a serious face.
"Aren't you afraid that Chi Xue will come after you later?"
"Sister Xue's mission is to make me the captain's assistant, so I must obey the captain's orders."
Zelan's meaning was clear; she'd listened to the captain's orders, not his, but... "Are you really an adult?"
"Captain, do I need to retrieve my information for you?"
After repeatedly confirming that the silver-haired girl in front of him, who was about 1.5 meters tall, was already an adult, Wang Teng finally felt relieved.
Perhaps influenced by his past life, he didn't want to be thrown into the dock one day and sentenced to a minimum of three years.
In fact, this is quite common in this world. Despite the interstellar age and the continuous expansion of resources, the gap between the rich and the poor remains stark. The poor remain at the bottom, while the rich continue to get richer.
Not to mention that the Alliance spanned multiple star systems and planets. Regardless of the situation on Earth, at least on other planets, the only way for the lower-class people to survive was on the fleet. Joining the fleet provided wages, pensions, and other benefits. Even if it meant risking their lives, at least it was better than before.
