The deep starry sky is like the night sky, dark and quiet, and only distant stars can be seen one after another.

Standing on the bridge, Lin Tao looked at these bright stars through the thick floor-to-ceiling glass.

These bright stars are actually stars similar to the sun, but because they are so far away, they appear to be twinkling like stars.

Behind these bright stars are actually galaxies similar to the Mingyuan system.

No, it should be said that it is one star after another.

Around the year 2000 of the Federation Calendar, it was the peak period of the Interstellar Federation's exploration of the starry sky, and humans discovered at least 1,500 habitable planets.

Unfortunately, this is also the limit of human exploration of the starry sky.

And this limit is not the limit of the exploration of this starry sky, but because after the appearance of mysterious starry sky creatures, humans have no choice but to stop exploring the starry sky and try their best to expel these mysterious creatures.

Unfortunately, faced with these powerful and mysterious creatures, humans can only retreat into the solar system and can never get out again.

Even Lin Tao of later generations was born on Earth.

"Starry sky creatures..."

Lin Tao sighed heavily. After completely gaining control of Mingyuan Star, Lin Tao once gave Zheng Tuo an instruction, which was to find a special area on the planet similar to the Bai family building.

However, until Lin Tao left Mingyuan Star, he still hadn't found anything.

"It's strange, could it be that those star creatures did not appear in Mingyuan Star, but in the starry sky of Mingyuan Galaxy?" Lin Tao frowned and looked at the dark universe outside.

In space, it is different from inside a planet.

Due to the existence of the atmosphere and the exposure to sunlight, the planet can show changes in daylight. However, when you reach the starry sky, even the nearest "sun" is just a relatively large star, and it is impossible to feel the light.

Without light, even if the mysterious creature really appeared in space, it would be difficult to detect.

Unless you have special detection tools.

However, in order to make that kind of detection tool, he also needed raw materials from star creatures. Without these raw materials, Lin Tao could not make the detection tool.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Lin Tao sighed. Although he had gained control of Mingyuan Star, he did not feel excited because Mingyuan Star was the first planet to be destroyed after the appearance of those star creatures.

Woo~ Woo~ Woo~ Suddenly, a series of rapid beeps were heard from inside the spaceship.

Lin Tao was stunned.

At this time, Zheng Cheng ran over quickly: "Lin Tao, it's bad, we encountered the Star Pirates."

Star Pirates?

Lin Tao was startled, he was not unfamiliar with the star pirates. According to the records of later generations, due to the exploration of the starry sky, a large number of interstellar adventure teams entered the starry sky.

However, these interstellar adventure teams are not all organized by the eight major families or the Interstellar Federation. There are many private teams among them.

The purpose is only to make a profit.

Every time a new inhabited planet is discovered, the interstellar adventure team has three ways to deal with it.

One is to secretly turn the planet into a private planet, but if you do this, once the Interstellar Federation finds out, you will be regarded as a traitor to the Interstellar Federation, so few people will choose this method.

In addition, the coordinates of the planet must be reported to the Interstellar Federation. After the people from the Interstellar Federation arrive and confirm the location, two choices will be faced.

The first is to obtain the consent of the Interstellar Federation, become the manager of the new planet, and spend the rest of your life without worries. The second is to completely contribute the planet and gain a seat in the Interstellar Federation.

Almost all of the eight powerful families are nobles who once made great contributions to the Interstellar Federation. The planets they discovered account for almost half of the 1,500 planets currently registered in the Interstellar Federation.

Even the wealthy Su family, who made their fortune by seizing planets, are no exception.

Of course, there are many private spaceships that become interstellar adventure teams, but only a few of them can be successful. The supplies and daily expenses of a spaceship are not small. Some interstellar adventure teams with nowhere else to go take risks and choose to become star pirates in secret, relying on robbing interstellar trading ships to make a living.

These mysterious star pirates are endowed with a romantic side by the pens of divergent thinking novelists. Lin Tao of later generations also once longed to become a star pirate.

However, the Star Pirates only existed in the period before the mysterious star creatures appeared, and they had already become extinct by Lin Tao's time.

This was also a helpless move. Faced with the mysterious star creatures, how could humans of that period have the free time to continue being star pirates?

At this moment, hearing about the appearance of the Star Pirates, Lin Tao's eyes lit up and he quickly followed Zheng Cheng to the observer.

"How many ships does the other side have?" Lin Tao asked, suppressing his excitement.

"Three."

On the radar, there were three red spots of skull heads flashing continuously.

Most ships have been registered, so when you encounter them, they will be quickly displayed with a special cursor.

"We captured Mingyuan Star. Before the Interstellar Federation presented any documents, Mingyuan Star no longer belonged to any force, so the Star Pirates wanted to take advantage of this period of time to grab it." Zheng Cheng explained.

Want to steal Ming Yuanxing? Lin Tao's excitement disappeared greatly, and his face gradually darkened.

Mingyuan Star can be said to be Lin Tao’s base camp. How could he allow the Star Pirates to rob it with just a word?

"These three spaceships of the Star Pirates are probably heading to Mingyuan Star as a group. They met us on the way and planned to rob us." Zheng Cheng said with a frown.

Grab a handful at the same time? Lin Tao frowned and sneered: "Do you regard us as prey?"

Zheng Cheng didn't say anything. He walked to the operating table and operated for a while. Soon he identified the identity of the star pirate opposite.

"It's the Xinyang Star Pirates." Zheng Cheng said.

"The Xinyang Star Pirates?" Lin Tao wondered.

"This is a relatively famous space pirate group. I heard that there are fifteen giant space warships behind them. These three spaceships should be the opponent's advance team." Zheng Cheng looked cautious.

The advance team is the so-called vanguard. The giant star ship is not fast, so in order to seize the opportunity, an advance team will be sent out. One is to find out the situation, and the other is to be able to get ahead of other star pirate groups and grab a wave of valuable resources first.

"Prepare my body immediately." Lin Tao ordered calmly.

"Lin Tao, do you want me to join you in the attack?" Zheng Cheng also has a K223 aircraft.

"No need. You are responsible for recording the video for me. After the battle is over, edit the video. I want to see how many star pirates still want to continue to target Mingyuan Star." Lin Tao snorted coldly.

Zheng Cheng frowned slightly, nodded, and said nothing more.

Soon, the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang was ready and could set off at any time.

At the same time, there were three spaceships on the opposite side.

"Boss, do you want to send them a signal?"

The monitor of one of the spacecraft asked the captain.

The captain looked at the mark on the radar and said, "The opponent's mark is a spaceship from Mingyuan Star. This kind of spaceship is either a refuge spaceship or the people who captured Mingyuan Star."

"No matter which side they are from, it is estimated that some of them have some background. These people must have a large amount of wealth. As long as we can seize a batch of them, even if we cannot take over Mingyuan Star, we can still make a small fortune." The captain laughed.

As the captain spoke, another small dot appeared on the radar.

Lin Tao's Tianjia God General had not been coated with special stealth materials, so as soon as he appeared, he was immediately captured by the radar.

"Captain, it seems they sent out a mecha." The observer was surprised.

"A mecha?" Upon hearing this, the captain immediately asked the observer to scan the other mecha.

Although Tianjia Shenjiang has been modified, his appearance is still that of Tianjia Shenjiang in computer records.

"It's a Tianjia Shenjiang." The observer recognized the data of the aircraft at a glance and responded immediately.

The captain laughed loudly: "Just a Tianjia Shenjiang? Is it demonstrating to us, or is it trying to surrender to us like a wimp?"

Hearing this, all the people on the bridge laughed.

"Send a large force. What I need is not this aircraft, but the bank account numbers of all the crew members on that spaceship." The captain laughed and waved his hand.

whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, more than fifty mechas emerged from three spaceships.

The Xinyang Star Pirates can be considered a star pirate group with considerable resources. These more than 50 mechas are all humanoid machines.

"A humanoid robot?" After searching through the radar, Lin Tao sneered. He pushed the putter forward with both hands.

Woo! With the roar of the main engine, it sped towards the other party.

Similarly, more than 50 mechas of the other side, under the command of the captain, rushed straight towards the spaceship where Lin Tao was.

The mecha energy blocks had limited time, and in less than half an hour, the two sides had met.

Lin Tao was extremely calm. When they first met, the machines were under his control, and he only needed to attack with one wave, but he had already killed seven or eight machines.

The observer was stunned when he saw the light spot suddenly disappearing on the radar.

Fireballs appeared one after another in the starry sky, and the mecha pilots around were also greatly surprised.

As an enemy, this was an opportunity. While the opponent was surprised, Lin Tao controlled the mecha to turn around and launch another round of attack, forming nearly ten fireballs in the space again.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the enemy's more than 50 aircraft disappeared in an instant.

"How is this possible?" The observer stood there in a daze, looking at the radar where nearly half of the light spots had disappeared.

"What's going on?" The captain frowned.

"Captain, our aircraft... our aircraft..." Before the observer finished speaking, the number of light spots on the radar changed again.

"This..." The observer felt like he was going crazy.

In a short time, the two sides' mechas met, and most of their mechas disappeared! If the number of mechas on both sides was not much different, the observer would have thought he had encountered a smart commander, but the other side only had one mecha.

"What on earth happened..." Seeing the observer's expression, the captain frowned and glanced at the radar. This glance made him swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Where is our mecha?" The captain looked surprised.
