" System, what are my options for the power sources ? "
---------------
1) Nuclear Fission Reactor - 100,000 points
2) Nuclear Fusion Reactor - 1,000,000 points
3) Arc Reactor - 10,000,000 points
4) Dyson sphere - 250,000,000 points

He had learnt about the nuclear fission and fusion reaction in school and he knew about the ark reactor from the movie 'Ironman'. But he didn't know what the Dyson sphere was. The term seemed a bit familiar as if it was some other fictional or hypothetical concept back on earth but he couldn't remember.
Bikash didn't check out the descriptions of the reactors and directly looked at the description of the Dyson Sphere.
---------------
1) Dyson Sphere
Description : It is a small spherical ball that goes into the core of a star it is deployed to and constantly extracts all the energy from the star. The sphere also places a barrier on the star which stops any interference in energy extraction.
------------------
Bikash nodded to himself while being pleased with the description of the Dyson sphere. Bikash then bought one Dyson Sphere and took it out of his inventory.
It was a pitch black ball that could even fit in his hand. ' This is quite heavy. ',he thought to himself. The ball was about a 100 kilograms but it was no biggie to him as he had his genetic body.
Bikash then realized something and frowned. He had bought the sphere but how was he supposed to throw this thing into a star. He then asked the system," How do I send it to a star ? "
[ Ding.. Host can use the Dyson rocket from the store which can be bought for free. ]
Bikash then bought the rocked for free. Even thought it's sleek design made it look majestic, it was a small rocket of about 8 feet. Bikash went near the rocket that had been placed a few yards away from him.
The people who were with Bikash were stunned with this. Their leader was taking out amazing things one by one. First, the frigates and mechs, then came the mysterious black ball and now a rocket. The mysterious black ball was different, they felt a different devouring vibe radiating from it whereas the rocket was just amazing.
A small compartment then opened in the rocket when Bikash was close enough and the system's voice resounded in his ears.
[ Ding.. Place the sphere inside the compartment. ]
Bikash placed the black sphere inside it. He was very careful while doing so as he himself could also feel that devouring vibe radiating from the sphere.
[ Ding.. The nearest star from here is the G-45D sun that can be seen from this planet. If host wishes to send the sphere there, the time taken will be 84 seconds. ]
" Send it. "
[ Ding.. Host will have to pay 100,000,000 points per second of flight time to operate the Dyson rocket. ]
" Send it. ", Bikash said while gritting his teeth. ' This fucking system is becoming more and more costly. ',he thought to himself.
The compartment where the Dyson sphere was placed closed and the rocket started exhausting blue flame from it's end which then turned purple and the rocket flew off towards one of the suns of the planet. Bikash had already retreated a few tens of yards when he had finished placing the sphere so he was at a safe distance. The others had also followed suit.
The others who were with Bikash also breathed in relief when they looked at the scorched ground near their initial position.
Bikash then waved his hand to the soldiers with him and led them to the area where the mechs and frigates were standing.
Bikash then motioned them to enter their respective vehicles. They followed the commands and entered. There were still about 15 seconds remaining till the rocked reached the sun's surface.

' Boom! ' The rocket had disintegrated upon contact with the sun's surface. The black sphere was still intact. It started to sink towards the centre rapidly. In a matter of few tens of seconds, the sphere was already at the exact centre of the sun. It then started glowing with black-purple-ish colour and the sun dimmed.
It was as if the sun had been stripped of it's energy and was dying. Then, a barrier started forming on the surface of the sun. It was a black barrier which slowly formed on the surface and covered the whole surface in a few seconds.
....
Bikash was looking at the sun with a slight smile on his face as he looked at the barrier forming on the sun while listening to the notification of the system.
[ Ding.. The Dyson Sphere has reached the core of the sun. Beginning energy extraction. ]
[ Ding.. Host can power 1,000,000,000 machines of any sorts. ]
Bikash smiled as he thought about a legion consisting of a billion frigates or mechs. Bikash then put these thoughts at the back of his head while he watched the soldiers use the frigates and mechs.
' It should be fine. We should be able to win over this planet in a few weeks. ',he thought to himself.
Bikash was watching the show put up by his soldiers when he saw Carmen rushing towards him in a hurried manner. He reached near Bikash and said," The reinforcements are coming. It is the Elodros troops. "
Bikash still maintained his smile and said," Tell everyone to prepare for the war. Send out half the troops right now. They should be enough to deal with the reinforcements. Make the other half dock the transport ships. We will attack the city of Vul after we repel the reinforcements. "
Bikash then went to his office while Carmen was giving out orders. The management robots that Bikash had bought were pretty helpful. Bikash had noticed this and was planning on buying more of these management robots.
The base was pretty hectic. Half the troops were docking the transporting the ships whereas the other half were being prepared for battle. Even though the knowledge crystals were already given out, for alot of people, this was the first time they were using mechs or frigates, so they were familiarizing themselves with the controls and were going towards their stationed positions.
