Recruit black physique to start practice in the wasteland

A lot of capital is mining minerals in the asteroid belt, and it is really not surprising that there are starships here.

What's more important is that many starships are armed merchant ships - the mining of minerals requires force protection, and the transport ships must also be protected from human snatching.

Rare? It's really not rare at all. Minerals are the favorite of most capitals because they are quick to cash out and difficult to trace.

Even now, fighting and killing are not uncommon in the asteroid belt of Tianren Star.

However, ordinary small forces no longer dare to easily participate in the battle, and those who dare to set foot are all giants.

What small powers can do is to contract a mine vein and earn some hard money.

After Qu Jianlei came to Skyhook, he intentionally collected information here. Thanks to Xiaohu's help, he knew quite a bit.

To be honest, the star thief actually chose this place as his lair. To be honest, he was quite surprised.

He felt that with the current strength displayed by the Star Pirates, it would not be difficult to obliterate the mine guard warships of some large forces.

So, this is black under the lights again? Qu Jianlei was not sure whether his thoughts were correct.

But he can be sure of one thing, the location of these star robbers' transition is really not so close to the asteroid belt.

Generally speaking, it is best to keep the starship jump away from the stars, otherwise it may bring uncontrollable risks.

Qu Jianlei has traveled many times in the interstellar space, and the starship he is on will not consider jumping until at least a day and a half has passed.

Similarly, at the end of the starship transition, there must be no stars nearby... at least one and a half days of voyage.

But the end point of their current transition is only half a day away from the asteroid belt.

In other words, the star thief is likely to have mastered a more advanced or precise leap technology.

Realizing this, Qu Jianlei was really surprised. Can Star Bandit's technological level be stronger than that of the Empire?

But technology is really hard to say. Accumulation is the foundation, but variations are allowed occasionally.

Half a day later, three starships landed on an asteroid.

This asteroid is not small, with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers.

The celestial phenomena around the asteroid are extremely complicated, and there are many sources of rays of unknown origin, which can cause cognitive confusion to ordinary people.

After analysis, Qu Jianlei believes that such an environment can be considered to have hallucinogenic ability.

The starship passed through the complicated celestial phenomena and entered the asteroid, and it turned out that the natural environment on the asteroid was also very bad.

The weather is cold and cosmic rays are rampant, and it is especially critical that the asteroid does not even have an atmosphere.

"More than two hundred degrees below zero, it doesn't feel very cold," Qu Jianlei released his perception.

"That's because you are strong," Xiaohu replied leisurely, "It's more than two hundred degrees below zero, I have to warm up before I can turn it on."

But to be honest, the asteroid chosen by Star Pirates is really a little bit talkative.

The rocks of the planet have high oxygen content, which is enough, and because the astronomical phenomenon is complex and there are not many minerals, no one cares about it.

There is a lack of water on the asteroid, but it doesn't matter. There are many awakened people with water attributes in Star Pirates.

Of course, compared to the number of Star Pirates, there are still a little less water attribute awakeners, but... can they be recycled?

Three warships landed in a wide gap, and a door slowly rose on the stone wall of the gap.

This door is more than 100 meters high and more than 300 meters wide, and the speed of rising is not slow.

Looking at the large hydraulic columns on both sides of the door and the slanted traction cables, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Such a magnificent project is nothing in the empire, but the Star Pirates can build it, which is obviously not an initial settlement.

After entering the gate, there is also a cave inside, which is quite spacious, a bit like the dungeon of Tianfeng Star.

Qu Jianlei walked down the gangway with a cane, looked around for a long time, and finally a C-rank soldier walked over with two people.

"You are Tesla? Come with me!"

What is rare is that the star thieves actually have a security checkpoint, and Qu Jianlei's alloy crutches have been checked.

However, Xiaohu has already invaded the opponent's network, and the hollow part of the crutch has not been found.

Qu Jianlei's mental power can also affect the star thief, but they are worried that some judgments are automatically completed through the control system.

So directly let Xiaohu take action, saving worry and effort.

After passing through the security checkpoint, the C-rank soldier handed Qu Jianlei over to a scarred face, turned around and left.

Scarface is a reformed soldier, with bumps and holes on his face, which looks very scary.

This person had a deep hostility and didn't talk much. He took Qu Jianlei away on a battery scooter.

As he walked, Qu Jianlei realized that he still overestimated the star thief, and the road became narrower and narrower.

However, being able to walk two or three kilometers shows that there are many people living here, so he asked, "How many people are there here?"

Scarface replied in a muffled voice, "About 80,000."

Qu Jianlei was secretly stunned when he heard this, the scale of this Star Bandit is not small.

The key is that the strength of this star thief is not bad, he can dig such a large dungeon, and there is enough power and lighting.

Not long after, Scarface brought him into a large yard—a yard without sky.

This is the maintenance department of Star Pirates, and Scarface gave him another access control card, saying that you will follow me in the future.

Qu Jianlei was assigned to a four-person room, but it did have its own bathroom.

There were originally two people in the room of four, an old man and a middle-aged man, both ordinary people.

The middle-aged man is cold and ignorant, but the old man is more enthusiastic, especially after he knows that Tesla is a transformation warrior.

What happened to the lame leg? The strength of reformed fighters is still stronger than that of ordinary people.

Qu Jianlei was not as indifferent as when he was on the starship, he chatted with the old man casually.

After all, he is more interested in the situation of Star Pirates, but he doesn't want to waste too much time.

The old man learned that the other party was brought from the starship, so he took the initiative to comfort him, because he was also the maintenance engineer who was arrested.

But his evaluation of the empire is very bad, and he read a lot of bad things, but he thinks that the star thief is more humane.

Qu Jianlei couldn't listen anymore, "I'm just here, let me introduce the situation here."

The old man is very enthusiastic and willing to popularize science for his new colleagues.

The number of star thieves is less than 80,000, but a small half of them are family members of star thieves.

In other words, the total number of Star Pirates is about 50,000.

Ordinarily, this is not a weak force. It is enough to overthrow the regime of a small and medium-sized country on the Blue Star.

But the old man didn't think this star bandit was very strong, mainly because the empire was too big.

Qu Jianlei thought about it, and it was the same reason.

For example, Blue Star's Wagner Group has a large number of people, and they are all outlaws, but in the friction of big countries, what is it?

Therefore, the scale of this Star Bandit is quite satisfactory at best, and it is more than enough than the bottom.

Then the old man said that in this group of star thieves, there are at least four A-levels and more than ten B-levels.

Calculated in this way, the A-level and B-level in the star thief team have a much higher probability of success than the empire?

From the perspective of probability alone, it is true that without a population of 100,000, it is almost impossible to give birth to an A-level.

But Qu Jianlei didn't think so, who is the star thief? That is a gang of vicious gangsters!

It is not easy to be a successful gangster. Not to mention cruelty, one cannot be too stupid, and a little bit of luck is required.

There is a saying in China that the vast majority of criminals in prisons are smarter than ordinary people.

If you are not that smart, you will generally not be able to commit serious crimes.

As for luck, that is even more important. There is a very strong survivor bias in being a star thief.

The star bandits who are not strong enough, especially those who are unlucky, have already been buried in the ditch.

So he asked again, "Is there no supreme protection on such a large scale?"

"Of course there is supreme," the old man replied logically, "otherwise how can we support such a big scene?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man said coldly, "If you don't want to die, don't talk about this topic."

Qu Jianlei snorted lightly when he heard the words, "I have to figure this out before I can cultivate a sense of belonging, right?"

His time is precious, how can he have the heart to chat with these people?

"Sense of belonging..." The middle-aged man glanced at him lightly and didn't speak any more.

But the old man shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about it... This one came here on his own initiative, and he has a good relationship with the higher-ups."

Take the initiative to join the star thief? Qu Jianlei looked at the middle-aged man strangely. Is he the star thief's eyes and ears in the maintenance department?

Then you can't inquire about some things, "I'm new here, can I go out of the yard for a walk?"

The old man nodded, "You can walk, but your leg... Forget it, I'll walk around with you."

This place is basically a stronghold hanging in space. Even if the star thieves are worried about the newcomers, they are not worried about them escaping.

The business of the maintenance department was still very full. On the second day, Qu Jianlei was sent to check the ventilation system.

His work efficiency was recognized by Star Pirates, and when he returned to the yard, Scarface's attitude became a little more amiable.

In a blink of an eye, Qu Jianlei stayed in the star thief's lair for five days. Because of his dedication to work, no one paid attention to his entry and exit.

Through careful perception and the cooperation of Xiaohu, he also figured out the general situation here.

There is indeed a Supreme Star Thief, what is his name, he is not very clear, this person is not currently in the lair.

Qu Jianlei originally wanted to wait for this person to come back before doing anything here, after all, he should have more good things on his body.

But on the sixth day, he was repairing a mine car, and received a short notice asking him to repair a circulating water pump.

This water pump is very close to the energy power center, and it is specially used to cool down the power center.

This is your chance! It was just right for his identity to disappear without a sound.

For such a large lair, the power center cannot be small, not to mention the strict defense, there are still two systems.

But this couldn't help Xiaohu. When Qu Jianlei was repairing the water pump, it output a series of wrong commands.

"The tide has set in and is expected to explode within twenty seconds."

In the control room of the power center, harsh alarms kept ringing.

The three on-duty officers of the Star Pirates were ashen-faced, and quickly entered various instructions, "Oops, the equipment is moving too slowly!"
