Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 154 Evacuation
None of the Afterglow individuals seemed to notice this scene.

Except for the Alpha-class afterglow on the new star.

But it also saw that Chen Ming's robot was still pushing forward desperately, trying to occupy the shield module.

It seems that the brief contact just now did not affect the shield module.

So it chooses to continue the installation.

But in fact, it has no choice.

If it continues to stay here, its fate is basically doomed as the core modules of the giant shipyard have been controlled by Chen Ming.

So it must run.

If he ran out, he would have to face the attack of two ships from the Fourteenth Legion.

Therefore it must also have this shield module installed.

It has no choice.

It can only bet.

Bet on the results of their afterglow in the previous test of Chen Ming's ability.

It is believed that Chen Ming does not have the ability to control one module of a battleship through a lowest-level gamma-level core and continue to control the entire battleship.

It's half the bet.

Chen Ming does not have the ability to use the gamma-class core to control the battleship.

But if it only has a small impact on a module, the moment of contact is enough.

The various robots and equipment controlled by the Yuhui individual controlled by Chen Ming are still frantically trying to destroy the interactive equipment.

But it still failed to succeed under the new star's attack, and the shield module was quickly installed to isolate other afterglows.

And the new star ignored all the afterglow entities below and started the engine directly.

The terrifying high temperature brought by the wake of the engine spraying on the ground instantly destroyed all the afterglow entities that wanted to attack it and protect it.

The new star set sail and flew towards the exit of the dock.

At the same time, the special operations team finally cleared away all the Afterglow entities that were protecting the damaged power generation equipment.

After the fuel has been completely processed by the afterglow, the micro antimatter reactor is connected to the power supply line.

Chen Ming activated the simulated gravity device as soon as the power was reconnected, changed the direction of gravity, and adjusted the maximum gravity intensity.

Xinxing, who had half the ship left the dock at this time, did not expect such a change at all.

The hull of the ship tilted here, and the right rear corner hit the giant dock.

It can be seen from the huge cracked opening at the dock exit that the impact caused more serious damage than before.

That's enough.

Chen Ming can't wait to see his final result.

Nova flew out of the giant shipyard.

At this time, the special operations team barely adapted to Chen Ming's adjusted gravity.

With Chen Ming's early warning, they did not suffer any obvious trauma from the sudden pressure just now.

There may be internal injuries caused by sudden changes in gravity, but the medical methods of this era make it very simple to cure hidden internal injuries caused by heavy pressure.

As long as they can go back alive.

So after the special operations team adjusted their status, Chen Ming said directly to them: "The new star has flown away from the giant shipyard, you can retreat."

The captain had just felt the vibration from the violent impact as the gravity surged.

But he didn't expect to hear the news from Chen Ming that the new star successfully flew away from the dock. He subconsciously asked: "Did we fail?"

"There is no result yet as to whether you fail or not. I think you have basically reached the limit of what you can do."

"And although the Nova has flown out, your mission is to destroy the Nova, not to prevent the Nova from flying out."

"Yes."

Chen Ming arranged to start the special operations team's retreat route.

At the same time, we are also arranging some other auxiliary matters, which should be used soon.

Outside the giant shipyard at this time.

The moment the new star left the exit of the dock and appeared at the forefront of the battle line.

The fleet of the Fourteenth Legion, which was in a bit of chaos and was almost thrust into the face by two radiation-class ships, suddenly regrouped in several formations.

The entire fleet's range of fire bypassed the two radiation ships and focused unreservedly on the newly emerged star.

The Alpha-level afterglow of the new star immediately activated the main-level shield, but an accident, or something that it should not have believed in with a gambling mentality before, happened.

The capital ship-level shields that were supposed to be activated did activate.

But the activation position is in the opposite direction from where it wants to activate the shield.

It had just entered the battle line organized by the Afterglow Fleet, and had not yet had time to adjust its posture, resulting in its side being completely exposed to the Fourteenth Legion.

And the reason why this situation is happening now.

That is, at the moment when the gamma-level core flew out and touched the shield module in the giant shipyard, Chen Ming modified part of the shield module.

Although Chen Ming didn't quite understand the use and actual technology of capital ship-level shields, he could easily do it by simply changing the internal wiring and connecting a few wires in reverse.

Chen Ming just wanted the shield module line failure to cause overload when the shield was activated, but he didn't expect that his casual change would lead to the current situation.

This is a bit surprising.

But it's not a big problem, at least the reverse-activated shield failed to block the first wave of fire from the Fourteenth Legion fleet.

Violent explosions, flames, and light pollution caused by laser weapons instantly exploded on the side of the new star.

The left forearm, which had already been damaged by the impact, was completely broken in this attack.

The damage suffered by the new star was more serious than that of the previous offensive-class ship that bore the pressure of the entire front.

However, the new star is still a battleship after all.

The armor suffered a lot of damage from the concentrated fire, but at least it was not directly destroyed.

It's just that its problems remain unresolved.

It takes time for the main-level shield to be fully deployed, and it also takes time to adjust the direction of the full-width shield.

This means that its shield has no time to deploy or adjust its position to where it should appear before the second wave of concentrated fire attacks that are enough to destroy it arrives.

And it also takes a lot of time to turn off the shield and open it in a new place, and it may even cause more problems due to frequent switching of the shield.

What's more, the Alpha-level afterglow on the new star cannot be determined at this time.

Did Chen Ming modify the shield to open the shield in the opposite direction from the original shield opening direction, or did he open the shield in a random direction.

If it turns off the shield and intends to turn it on in the opposite direction, and the shield randomly appears in a new direction, it will be really fatal.

At this time, the new star's shield has not been fully deployed, and it is impossible for other battleships to add a connected shield out of thin air without the original shield.

Therefore, the only option left for the Alpha-class Afterglow is to adjust the direction of the ship on its own.

This is used to change the direction of the shield that is still expanding.

In the process, other Afterglow ships in the Afterglow fleet came up like crazy to help New Star bear the damage, delaying time for it to change its hull position.

The physical blocking of other ships of at least cruiser level did buy the new star a little time.

But at this juncture, any small problem will lead to disaster.

Just when the new star flew out of the giant shipyard exit.

It suffered a sudden increase in gravity, causing its rear right tail to hit the exit of the giant shipyard.

Engine damaged.

At this moment, when Nova was making an emergency turn, the engine on the right rear suddenly stalled.

The internal inspection equipment was too late to repair such huge damage in just a few seconds.

The turning speed was limited to a very low level, and there was no time to adjust the position of the ship.

However, Chen Ming didn't feel anything special while observing the situation here.

Because just in the first few dozen seconds, he could confirm one thing by seeing how quickly the Nova Star's hull adjusted its attitude when the engine was not malfunctioning.

Even though it didn't hit it once when it left the dock, the engine was not damaged.

It was too late to adjust its position before the second round of fire from the Fourteenth Army.

At most, it can only rely on the extended shield to block about one-third of the firepower.

But the remaining two-thirds are enough to completely destroy it.

The new star level is not an offensive. There is only one result if you rely on the destroyed armor to survive the second round of concentrated fire.

At this moment, several nearby cruisers that came to cover had been destroyed in the concentrated fire of the [-]th Legion fleet, and there were no other ships that could continue to share the damage to New Star.

And this situation will happen, which is the fundamental reason why new stars must go to the front of the battle line as soon as they come out.

The reason is that the other two radiation-class ships performed a short-distance flash dozens of seconds ago under the influence of Baiquan's active command.

It's too late now for them to flash back to help Nova.

They could only watch helplessly outside the fleet as the fleet of the Fourteenth Legion bypassed their concentrated fire and hit the new star that had lost its protection.

As the commander-in-chief of the Fourteenth Legion, Bai Quan finally understood the meaning of Chen Ming's previous words at this moment.

He also saw with his own eyes that the bombing of their Fourteenth Legion fleet completely submerged the new star, which was relatively fragile as a battlecruiser.

It was completely reduced to a fiercely burning bright star in space.

Nova was destroyed, and most of the giant shipyard was paralyzed at this time.

The target that needed protection was gone, and the two radiation-class ships that were very close to the Fourteenth Army's front also seemed to be angry, and began to suppress Baiquan desperately, trying to keep Baiquan's fleet.

But Baiquan has so many years of experience fighting Yuhui, and he knows very well how to retreat safely from Yuhui's hands.

Even if two radiation ships were pressing in and oppressing him desperately, he could still continue to adjust the situation of the fleet's front smoothly.

Shrink your formation and retreat at any time.

But he hasn't done that yet, he's still waiting for his chance.

Inside the giant shipyard at this time.

The special operations team is running within the module area that Chen Ming does not control.

Due to the loss of the two core Alpha-class afterglows, the remaining afterglows of the entire giant shipyard have fallen into chaos.

They don't know what they should do, so they can only act in person and cooperate with the various robots with different functions in each dock to protect the module they control.

So the special operations team has begun to encounter some wandering robots sporadically.However, they completed most of the tasks smoothly in the front, without using the weapons they brought with them at all.

So now that they are about to retreat, they can bombard them all the way without saving.

Very convenient, fast and safe.

The captain of the special operations team suddenly asked at this time: "Mr. Chen, are we heading to the inner circle of the dock?"

"Correct."

Chen Ming had nothing else to do now, so he answered quickly.

Because he did not completely control the entire giant shipyard, and other modules of the giant shipyard basically closed the equipment for receiving external signals at this time.

Therefore, when the special operations team goes to the modules outside the dock that are not controlled by him, it can easily lead to some unexpected situations.

In addition, he is basically hanging on to his last breath now, and he does not dare to make any unnecessary loss of mental power.

Therefore, he decided to give it up and take away the Alpha-level Afterglow core that could control the entire giant shipyard.

Under Chen Ming's special arrangement, this Alpha Afterglow was installed on an Afterglow cruiser parked inside a giant shipyard, the Refraction-class unmanned heavy cruiser.

This is the same type of battleship as the Afterglow cruiser that Chen Ming lost before.

It is generally very common in various colonies in Afterglow and has good protection capabilities.

But what it is protecting now is not Afterglow, but a frigate-class cargo ship also located here.

This is an empty ship that Chen Ming specially asked Alpha-class Yuhui to bring with him.

Its usefulness is also obvious.

When the special operations team came here, they immediately understood Chen Ming's thoughts.

He quickly boarded the cargo hold of the cargo ship and indirectly controlled the spacecraft through communication signals.

Chen Ming also said to them at this time: "Get ready to jump, we will be safe soon."

The team members all looked relieved, and the captain solemnly bowed to the terminal representing Chen Ming and said: "Mr. Chen, we are very grateful for your help."

Chen Ming was a little uncomfortable with it, but it felt good to be respected.

"Um... let's go."

The refraction-level jump engine is ready to start.

At this time, Chen Ming also said to Bai Quan by the way: "Your people are going back, and there is also an Afterglow cruiser that will go with it. Let your people stay safe."

"?"

"Row."

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Bai Quan's eyes, as if he thought of something, so he quickly agreed.

Chen Ming continued to add: "I will be very busy in the next few days, so don't call me for a short time. Please help me take care of the ship for two days."

"Let me take care of the cruiser? What are you going to do?"

"Sleep, I didn't lie to you before."

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he threw away the knife in his hand.

The anger that had been carrying in my heart finally dissipated.

His vision went dark and he collapsed to the ground.

Bai Quan still didn't react, so he asked: "Sleep? What do you mean?"

Bai Quan asked, but there was no response from the terminal.

"Hello? Are you still there? Hello? Hello!"

Bai Quan called Chen Ming twice to confirm that Chen Ming had really disconnected the communication.

So he immediately recalled in his mind what Chen Ming had said before.

"I haven't rested since two days ago. Running away from Yuhui has taken away a lot of my energy. I need to rest."

Is this sentence actually true?
He thought it was Chen Ming bargaining before.

Thinking of this, Bai Quan couldn't help but continue thinking.

If Chen Ming simply retreated from Yuhui, it should be an easy thing with his ability.

But now there is a situation of complete mental exhaustion. What on earth did you do to cause such a situation?
Could it be that they left a lot of back-up players on Yuhui’s territory?

No, you can't think like that.

Bai Quan immediately rejected his idea.

He has too little information now.

He must wait until he returns and learns what Chen Ming did before he can make an accurate judgment.

So Bai Quan did not think too much in the wrong direction, but continued to help Chen Ming solve the last few things according to what Chen Ming said.

Although Chen Ming has lost consciousness, all the things he has come into contact with have been arranged and are continuing to be implemented according to his final plan.

The refraction class located inside the giant shipyard quickly took the cargo ship for a short jump.

Entering the battle line of the Fourteenth Legion fleet.

Although Bai Quan warned them in advance, several ships still misoperated due to fright.

But fortunately there was no big problem.

After confirming that there was nothing that the Fourteenth Legion was needed to do in this galaxy, Bai Quan also ordered the offensive stage to start the jump engine.

He also sent the specific value of the engine's resonant frequency to Chen Ming's refractor, preparing to leave with it.

At this time, all the ships' sensors scanned the new huge jump fluctuations near the fleet.

That was a sign that Yuhui's reinforcement fleet was about to arrive.

Fortunately, the fleet of the Fourteenth Legion successfully made the jump at the last moment and did not encounter Yuhui's support fleet.

After a short jump process, in the galaxy where the Fourteenth Legion is stationed.

A few seconds after the jump fluctuation was detected, the fleet of the Fourteenth Legion returned here safely.

And around the jump target location, the Legion-class ship that disappeared before was waiting here.

Originally the whole process was without any problems.

It was when the refraction level appeared that the alarm at the station almost went off.

Fortunately, Bai Quan also immediately stopped all this from happening.

However, there are still many people in the station who do not know the specific situation and are wary of the refraction.

At the same time, a small number of people realized the significance of this refraction.

Within this small group of people, a dozen or so people immediately left their current jobs and found ways to get in touch with the communication equipment they had immediate access to.

Then, they were all recorded, and the identities of the spies were exposed.

This was Bai Quan's idea when Chen Ming asked him to help take care of the cruiser.

He knew that the fact that Chen Ming was still alive was only known to a few high-level officials in the war zone besides him.

Therefore, when their lower-level officials discover signs that Chen Ming is still alive, they will definitely notify the higher-ups immediately.

He catches these tails easily.

Of course, there must be other spies here who have not been caught, but that will happen in the future.

While such things were happening inside the Fourteenth Army Corps station.

The fleet led by Bai Quan did not return to their giant shipyard immediately.

Instead, together with the legion class who had been waiting for a long time, they waited for a while at the location where they jumped out.

But it seems that Afterglow will not follow the traces of the jump engine.

I am afraid that I am afraid of an ambush and dare not pursue him.

However, Bai Quan still did not relax too much, and arranged for the fleets to disperse in batches and return to their giant shipyard.

At the same time, legion-level patrols were arranged inside the galaxy to prevent Yuhui from carrying out subsequent sneak attacks.

As soon as Bai Quan returned to the dock, he handed over the task of counting the results and losses to his deputy.

And he himself came to the place where the refraction-class ship was docked.

The psyker he invited before has not left yet, and now, he is in the dock, next to the refraction class.

Bai Quan walked quickly to his side and asked, "How's it going?"

The psyker shook his head and said, "No trace of psychic energy was found."

"Really not?"

"No, not at all. My relationship with you will not lie to you."

"If it is true that this Yuhui ship is controlled by Chen Ming as you said, my suggestion is to maintain a friendly relationship with him honestly."

"His ability is very terrifying, especially for someone like you who often needs to come into contact with the spacecraft."

Bai Quan nodded slightly and said, "I know, so I'm quite lucky now."

Previously, Chen Ming had a very bad relationship between the two parties because of an idiot in their [-]th Legion, but fortunately he saved the relationship.

And it should be able to maintain it for a period of time in the future.

Since the psyker he found now has no trace of the existence of psychic fluctuations from Chen Ming's spaceship.

Bai Quan did not continue to waste time here. He said to the few people following him: "Then just put the ship here first, and don't let anyone make any other small moves."

"If any problem occurs, deal with it as soon as possible, then report it to me, and then wait for Chen Ming to come and take the ship away."

After Bai Quan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But the psyker suddenly stopped him and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"I plan to contact the headquarters in advance. I was still considering whether to apply to keep these three battleships, but now they must be kept. Otherwise, I will have no way to deal with Yuhui when he comes back."

"With the results of this victory, applying for a ship should go smoothly."

In fact, there is one thing Baiquan didn't say, that is, although the existence of the battleship will cause them to spend more on logistics.

But having a boat in hand at least brings peace of mind.

The psychic noticed the details in Bai Quan's words and asked, "Are you going to be promoted?"

This question made Bai Quan finally unable to restrain his expressionless look, and couldn't help but smile a little.

"perhaps."
