Star Fleet, Starting with Datafication

Suddenly, the warship shuddered violently, and Gu Xing frowned immediately.

The Firelight Rats seem to have increased their firepower again; have more rats arrived?

Squeak!

A silver curved blade suddenly tore through a large patch of yin-yang light, heading straight for Gu Xing's neck.

The yin and yang particles around the ancient star instantly condensed into a shield, and the violent explosion even dispersed the yin and yang energy flow throughout the entire passage!

"Peak of the fourth tier?!"

Gu Xing lowered his eyelids slightly, and a black and white spear immediately took shape, with countless wisps of solidified air swirling around the spear tip.

Seeing the black alien appear at the end of the passage, Gu Xing burst out, and dozens of black and white rays gathered around him and bombarded the alien!

The battles on the other ships also reached a fever pitch. Facing a large number of alien monsters around them, the Shadow Blade mechs bombarded the floating cannons around their bodies, and the two ten-meter-long molecular cutting blades even left afterimages as they were swung around!

Even the black alien monster should not be approached lightly.

The Shadow Blade mechs and superhumans dealt with the third and fourth-tier monsters, while the remaining ground armored soldiers chased after the scattered ordinary monsters.

In an instant, gunfire erupted from all sides of the cruisers.

Taiyi: The combat operations inside the ship are confirmed to be normal.

Qingyang turned his gaze to the star map, where tens of thousands of red dots surrounded the fleet, except for the level 3 and 4 Firelight Rat leaders.

There are two even larger energy sources!

The maximum level a Firelight Rat can reach is Level 5 Firelight Rat King!

Two Fire Rat Kings and thousands of Fire Rat were drawn to the T7 fleet, and the battlefield was filled with dense beam and energy attacks.

Every now and then, one can see explosions spreading outwards that far exceed those of a nuclear explosion.

[Ship damaged, durability remaining 97%]

Taiyi basic intelligence prompted.

Qingyang's expression was rather grim. Level 2 and 3 Firelight Rats were manageable, but Level 4 Firelight Rats actually possessed penetrating damage!

[Combined Shield: 71%]

Qingyang immediately said, "Main gun, secondary gun, ignore the rat swarm for now, focus fire on the level 4 Firelight Rats!"

The shield's damage sharing is enough to withstand the swarm of rats for a long time, and with the shared recovery speed, it can last for three or four days without any problem.

Those with penetrating and lethal capabilities pose a greater threat!

Boom boom boom!

[Message being processed]

"Commander, we now know the reason why the Firelight Rats attacked the starport." The virtual screen unfolded, revealing Belya's figure.

On the experimental platform behind him stood a silver alien monster.

Belya explained, "This monster is called a Sky Shuttle Worm, a special type of star beast with spatial attributes, a symbiotic worm on the Sky Shuttle Rat!"

"At the same time, the Sky Shuttle Rat is also a top-tier bloodline among rodent star beasts, and can control most rodent star beasts."

"Why did the Sky Shuttle Rat attack the Starport... Taiyi, evade! Instantly dodge a hundred miles forward!"

A blinding light flashed, and an attack instantly passed through the location where Taiyi had just been from tens of thousands of miles away.

Qingyang stared at the screen, his eyes serious.

The third level 5 Firelight Rat's target is none other than his own Taiyi!

The seventh-tier powerhouse was said to possess the power to destroy continental plates, and now it seems that this was clearly not an exaggeration.

In some respects, even level 5 star beasts are more ferocious.

Of course, it wasn't the attack from before, but rather the level 5 Firelight Rat's own energy level.

"Taiyi, travel at sub-light speed and lure this fire rat away!" Qingyang ordered.

Given enough distance, the two Star Destroyer cannons at Starport would be enough to kill this Firelight Rat.

Currently, unless the Eternal Fleet focuses its fire on this level 5 Firelight Rat for two or three days, it is impossible to take it down.

"Roger that!"

The level 5 Firelight Rat had clearly set its sights on Taiyi, its massive energy enveloping its body as it pursued it at near-light speed.

"It's alright, continue."

Belya snapped out of her daze and continued, "The Sky Shuttle Rat is a Level 5 Star Beast in its youth, and its combat power is equivalent to Level 6. To advance to Level 6, the adult form needs to devour things that also contain spatial energy."

As far as I know, the core of Starport's mass warp drive is a man-made spatial crystal, whose spatial energy is even purer than that of natural ones.

Qingyang pondered, "Sky Shuttle Rat? Where is that Star Beast now?"

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded, interrupting Qingyang's thoughts.

A beam of light powerful enough to pierce a planet passed by Taiyi from a hundred miles away, and the Firelight Rat that was chasing Taiyi instantly turned into particles and dissipated.

Starport's deployment of star-destroying artillery!

Qingyang temporarily suppressed his doubts and said, "Return to the combat area and try to ensure that the number of Firelight Rats besieging the Starport does not exceed the limit."

As long as the rat swarm doesn't double in size, the Starport Shield should be able to hold out until the Alliance patrol fleet arrives.

The Skyspinner's attention should be focused on the Starport. As long as the shield doesn't break, the Starport's space suppression equipment is Alliance military equipment and can completely prevent the Skyspinner from jumping into the Starport.

That thing can even isolate dark space. Unless you leave the starport, it's useless for the dark space engine to establish a connection with dark space.

Upon seeing Taiyi return, hundreds of Fire Rats roared, unleashing a barrage of rays that struck the shield and created massive energy waves.

The Taiyi's cannons never stopped firing, constantly blasting beams of light in all directions.

The battle lasted for nearly a day, during which time, apart from the continuous appearance of groups of Firelight Rats, no more Level 5 Firelight Rats appeared.

The other two were also forcibly destroyed by concentrated fire from the T7 fleet, resulting in the loss of more than twenty Starship Assault Ships.

Using assault ships as cannon fodder when necessary is a basic operation, with the crew concentrated on cruisers and battleships.

[Combined Shield: 34%]

[Ship Durability: 87%]

【...】

Apart from the Eternal Fleet, the other three T8 fleets have retreated to the Starport Shield.

They continued to attack the Firelight Rats from their fixed turret positions, but this also put a lot of pressure on the Starport Shield.

Gu Xing and the others had returned to Taiyi a few hours earlier, bringing back the corpses of those Sky Shuttle Insects.

Aside from some losses to the combat machinery and Dark Mantis mechs, Gu Xing's team members were unharmed.

After all, they have the Shadow Blade mechs in the lineup. These mechs are fifth-tier combat power, with their defense, attack, speed, and firepower all reaching the advanced fifth tier.

They killed the Black Skyspin Insects even faster than the Ancient Star.

If Gu Xing hadn't come out for training, Qing Yang wouldn't have wanted to send them out; ten Shadow Blades would have been enough to suppress all the Sky Shuttle Insects.

What if something unexpected happens? Wouldn't that mean losing a future seventh or eighth-tier helper?

On the bridge, watching the Firelight Rat speeding past the warship.

Qingyang was already used to it; it was just a rat the size of the Eiffel Tower in his previous life.

Too many people have been killed these past few days.

Has the total number of Fireflies decreased?

Chang Xi immediately said, "It has increased by 70%, mostly level 2 and 3 Firelight Rats."

"......"

The patrol fleet should be arriving soon.

This is the most severe damage suffered since the Eternal Fleet was established.

One of the long-range cruisers had only 18% of its durability remaining. If it weren't for the Perpetual Agreement, its 82% repair rate would have been worse than replacing it with a new ship.

Fortunately, this time it wasn't a bad deal either. I got 30,000 star points from killing the Fire Rat, but only spent 4,000, so it was a huge profit.

They must have also made significant contributions in assisting the defense of Starport.

【Drip drip-】

[This is LY201 Base - Patrol Fleet 033. All star fleets, please return to the starport shield.]

The gravitational contraction field is ready.

Chapter 28: Setting off again, heading towards Thousand Forest Star Lake!

Allied patrol fleet!

Qingyang and the others immediately shook off the surrounding fire rats and retreated back to the starport.

The dense swarm of fire rats lost their target and turned their attention to the starport, charging forward with all their might.

[Severe distortion of the gravitational field detected]

Looking at the area where the gravitational field was distorted, Qingyang could clearly see a black and blue metal sphere suddenly appearing hundreds of thousands of kilometers away through the monitoring equipment of Taiyi.

The extremely complex energy circuit gradually became transparent, and the surrounding gravity became more and more severe as the circuit twisted.

Finally, the first Firelight Rat flew backwards towards the sphere.

In an instant, the entire swarm of rats collapsed like dominoes, surging towards the ball in an endless stream.

It even contains meteorites and asteroids several kilometers in diameter!

Even the level 4 star beasts could not escape the gravitational pull; ripples spread around several level 4 star beasts before dissipating.

Clearly, these fire rats wanted to escape into the subspace, but their subspace warp organs were completely disrupted by the distorted gravitational field.

The rat swarm was separated from the starport by tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant when hundreds of beams of light flashed between the rat swarm and the starport.

Those were warships several kilometers in size, with a strong mechanical feel and a silver-white exterior containing a large number of energy circuits.

The central warship was already 30,000 meters long, surrounded by a dense array of railguns.
