Let you do a copy, you do Wuchang: Great Wall Watch

"All fleets maintain formation and prepare to break in!" Leo's commanding voice came through the communicator, with a resolute determination: "Target the enemy flagship, launch an attack!"

A deafening burst of artillery fire broke out on the battlefield. Sterkar stared at the virtual hologram, and the latest position of the enemy fleet kept appearing on the screen.

Leo's fleet launched the attack without hesitation, quickly breaking through the enemy's outer defense line and heading straight for the enemy flagship.

"The enemy ship's defense system is activated! Prepare to attack!" Communications from the enemy command ship came frequently, and the pirate fleet tried to gather strength to resist the impact of Leo's fleet.

But Leo was well prepared. He commanded the fleet to maximize the laser range and coordinated tactical strikes to suppress the enemy's firepower one by one.

"They didn't expect our attack to be so swift!" Leo's voice came through the communication with a hint of contempt: "There is a problem with their command system, and they are completely unable to organize an effective counterattack!"

"Keep pushing forward!" Stekar showed no sign of relaxing: "Lock on the enemy ships, Leo, don't let them have a chance to breathe!"

With Sterkar's order, Leo's fleet had approached the enemy flagship before the enemy could fully react.

At this time, the pirates' flagship also began to fight back fiercely, with intensive artillery fire, and even beam weapons began to sweep across the front line of the fleet.

"Damn, this is how pirates fight! Cruel and fast!" The audience in the live broadcast room posted comments one after another.

[Fuck, this battle is so intense! Leo's fleet fought so beautifully! ]

[The pioneer had foresight and chose to attack the enemy flagship directly, which really disrupted the enemy's command! ]

[Look at the pirates, they are completely panicked! They are so weak. They have the advantage in numbers, but they are completely disrupted by the pioneers! ]

[This pirate commander is too weak. Leo and the others messed things up. I feel like the situation is about to collapse! ]

[Wait a minute, can Leo's fleet hold up? They are so powerful, don't let them be killed by the pirates' counterattack! ]

Stekar also saw the comments in the live broadcast room. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he did not relax at all.

Although the battle situation is now in their favor, he knows that the pirates' counterattack is not over yet, and this is only a small battle, and the real challenge is still to come.

"Leo, the enemy ship's command system shows signs of collapse. Immediately increase the intensity of the attack and completely destroy the enemy flagship!" Stekar gave the order again, his tone full of decisiveness and coldness.

"Understood!" Leo's voice came, and the fleet instantly concentrated its firepower on the enemy flagship.

The enemy ship's defense system was already in trouble and there was barely enough power to support a sustained attack.

With a loud bang, the enemy flagship finally exploded under a round of powerful laser cannon bombardment, emitting dazzling light, and was destroyed in an instant.

"The enemy's flagship has been destroyed! Their command system has completely collapsed!" Leo's voice was filled with a hint of pride: "The enemy's fleet formation has completely collapsed!"

"Keep chasing!" A cold light flashed in Sterkar's eyes: "Completely destroy the remaining enemy ships, don't let any one go!"

The battle continued, and Leo's fleet broke through the enemy's defenses along the way, sinking the pirate fleet one by one.

Although the pirates' fleet had the advantage in numbers, they did not have a strong command capability or sufficient resources to launch an effective counterattack.

Finally, the battle ended with the last enemy ship destroyed.

"Victory!" Leo's voice was full of excitement: "Master Pioneer, we succeeded!"

Stekar nodded slightly, his eyes still firm.

“Okay, the victory is only temporary, and we still have to deal with the resource issue.

Holden, go arrange the resource mining team to ensure that this pirate attack does not affect our resource reserves!"

"Yes, Master Pioneer!" Holden responded immediately and began to make arrangements.

Stekar leaned against the console in the command room, his arms crossed and his eyes deep, staring at the data stream still flashing on the virtual screen.

Although the battle was won, he knew that it was just a small beginning.

Although the destruction of the pirate fleet allowed them to obtain a lot of resources and spoils, in the entire world of Warhammer 40K, a battle of this scale is almost insignificant.

"This time, the pirate fleet helped us clear some of the troubles in the surrounding area!" Savile came over and handed Sterkar a post-war report: "We have gained a lot of spoils, especially the wreckage of the warships. Some of the technology can be recycled and studied!"

"Research?" Sterkar looked at him, his eyebrows slightly raised. "What do you think is worth studying about these warships?"

"Yeah!" Savile nodded: "Although these pirate warships are not very good, some of the low-level quantum reactors and some light shield devices inside can provide some materials for our research and development projects.

We may be able to use them to speed up the renewal of our fleet, and even possibly crack the communication encryption of some warships and obtain more intelligence on the enemy!"

Sterkar was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly: “Okay, show these techniques to Elena.

She'll know how to take advantage of it!"

"Yes, Lord Pioneer!" Xavier turned and left without saying anything more.

The command room fell silent again. Stekar still did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood in front of the virtual hologram and swiped his finger. The battlefield data on the screen continued to scroll, displaying a large amount of combat information and a list of spoils of war.

Behind every piece of data and every number, there are countless choices and decisions, and every wrong decision may lead to huge losses.

"Although our fleet has a commander like Leo, it is not enough!" Sterkar said to himself: "Even if the pirate fleet is weak, it can still cause us so much trouble. If we cannot strengthen the strength of the fleet in the short term against a truly powerful enemy, I am afraid we will encounter even more difficult problems!"

Suddenly, a new message came from Elena on his communicator: “Master Pioneer, when we were studying the wreckage of the pirate fleet, we found some abnormal signals that seemed to be from a remote imperial warship.

According to preliminary calculations, this signal was most likely sent by a vanguard fleet of an imperial army.

Our fleet has been noticed!"

"Imperial Army?" Sterkar frowned. "You mean the Imperial Army of the Human Empire?"

"Yes, Master Pioneer!" Elena responded through the communication: "The signal we detected is completely consistent with the standard communication frequency of the Imperial warship.

Moreover, only the Imperial Fleet uses signals of this frequency!"

Sterkar's heart moved. The arrival of the Imperial Fleet meant that everything became more complicated. The Terra Empire, the invincible force that ruled the entire galaxy, their fleet was one of the most powerful in the universe.

Even a low-level enemy like pirates can launch an attack from the outside and organize themselves in just a few days. If the Imperial Army's fleet really approaches here, no matter how they prepare, they will find it difficult to cope with this truly powerful force.

"Got it!" Sterkar nodded slightly: "You continue to monitor the changes in the signal. If there is any further movement, notify me immediately!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The communication ended, and Sterkar's eyes were fixed on the virtual screen again. The screen still displayed those dense data streams, the wreckage of the interstellar battleship and the real-time situation of the fleet's actions.

After a while, he slowly turned around and walked out the door.

"Leo!" He walked out of the command room and contacted Leo through the communicator: "There is a problem that needs your attention."

"The vanguard of the Imperial Fleet may have approached our territory. We must be prepared. If they really come, our fleet may need to respond immediately!"

"Imperial Fleet?" Leo's voice was filled with doubt: "Master Pioneer, do you mean that the Imperial Fleet is approaching us?"

"That's right!" Sterkar said in a steady tone: "Their fleet did not appear by chance, the source of this signal confirmed the existence of the Imperial Fleet.

We need to be alert immediately and be prepared for any situation that may arise!"

“Understood, sir.

I will immediately instruct the fleet to step up training and strengthen reconnaissance of the surrounding areas!" Leo responded immediately.

"It's right to speed up training, but don't rush to expose our fleet!" Sterkar reminded: "We can't directly confront the Empire right now, we have to stay hidden and try to delay time.

You can instruct some fleets to conduct reconnaissance first, but don’t get too close to the enemy to avoid being discovered! "

"Understood, Master Pioneer!" Leo promised, "I will arrange everything!"

After hanging up the phone, Stekar did not stop, he continued to walk deeper into the palace.

Passing through rows of quiet halls, he came to a laboratory in the palace.

Elena was busy inside, apparently dealing with some technical research.

"Master Pioneer, you are here!" Elena saw Stekar walk into the laboratory, paused her work slightly, and nodded to him.

"Any new developments?" Stekar asked directly.

"The research on the pirate fleet is going smoothly!" Elena said, pointing to a pile of technical information on the table: "We found several technologies that can be used to enhance our fleet from the wreckage of those warships. The most promising one is a technology called 'light energy drive', which can greatly improve the speed and maneuverability of ships.

If we can apply it to our warships, the fleet's response speed will be improved to a higher level!"

"Light-powered?" Sterkar frowned slightly, obviously not fully understanding this technology: "How mature is this technology?"

"At present, it is not very mature!" Elena shook her head: "The information we extracted from the wreckage is not complete, but we have figured out the general principle.

The key problem is that we lack enough high-energy materials to create such light-driven systems.

Only by obtaining these materials can we proceed to the next step of research!"

Sterkar was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where can we find these high-energy materials?"

"The few sources we can think of at the moment are all in the enemy's core areas!" Elena looked helpless: "We can obtain some through 'plundering', but in the long run, we must obtain these high-energy materials from more stable channels!"

"The enemy's core area?" Sterkar raised his eyebrows slightly: "That is the territory of the empire!"

"Yes!" Elena nodded: "If we want to obtain these high-energy materials from a stable channel, I'm afraid we can only get them by contacting the empire, or even breaking the existing technological barriers!"

Stekar was silent.

The current situation is becoming more and more complicated. The Imperial Fleet is about to arrive. Although we have certain advantages, facing this huge and powerful force, any slight negligence will bring disaster.

The high-energy materials mentioned by Elena have obviously become a problem that they urgently need to solve.

"Continue to track the intelligence of these high-energy materials. If there is any progress, notify me immediately!" Sterkar said in a deep voice: "As for the Imperial Fleet, don't rush to contact it. Continue to hide and try to delay time!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Stekar stood in front of the window, looking at the interstellar lights in the void, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

The approach of the Imperial Fleet is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

Although he had the right to rule a level 4 civilized planet and even held the Sword of the Emperor, facing a superpower like the Terra Empire, he still felt that his strength was far from enough to confront it head-on.

The only thing we can do is to continue to accumulate strength in the short term, enhance our fleet and resources, and buy more time.

He took a deep breath, turned and walked deeper into the laboratory.

Elena and her scientific research team are studying the technology obtained from the wreckage of the pirate fleet, trying to transform it into weapons or equipment that can be useful to them.

Stekar pushed open the door of the laboratory, and as soon as he entered, Elena looked up, saw him come in, and immediately stood up.

"Master Pioneer, you are here!" Elena bowed slightly, her tone full of respect and nervousness: "We have made some new progress in our research!"

"Hmm?" Sterkar sat down at the table opposite her and gently supported the tabletop: "Tell me about it!"

Elena flipped open a document on the table and pushed a drawing in front of him.

“This is a new type of shield device. After studying the wreckage of the pirate fleet, we found that it uses a very advanced energy conversion technology.

This shield can instantly increase energy reserves when attacked by the enemy, thereby resisting stronger attacks.

Although our current technological level cannot completely replicate it, it can at least add a layer of protection for our ships! " (End of this chapter)
