Chapter 150 Chen Ming’s approach
It didn't take long.
Some of the robots controlled by Chen Ming and equipped with Afterglow Cores received rotation orders.
It is necessary to go to a defensive artillery platform in the front area of the battle with the Fourteenth Legion fleet to take over the positions of the robots that need repair.
This section of the road is not too far. With the help of special rail logistics vehicles, the robot arrived here quickly.
through the robot's sensors.
Chen Ming could see that there were many holes and loopholes in the wall outside the artillery platform, which were being repaired by several engineering robots.
At the same time, Chen Ming could see through these broken shields that in the outer cosmic environment, Yuhui and the 14th Army Corps continued to exchange fire.
At this time, an offensive-class ship was advancing at the forefront of the 14th Legion's front.
The shield wasn't even turned on, and it was relying on its armor to bear the firepower.
The offensive-level armor was already filled with a blazing white luster, and it looked as if even the armor had been melted.
Those were the traces left by being hit by a microsievert-level optical radiation cannon.
But for this offensive ship, this is just the armor being destroyed. The hull inside the armor and the personnel inside are nothing at all.
The offensive class does not need to lead a fleet to prevent the enemy fleet from focusing fire like other capital ships.
It can completely break out of the battle line on its own and share the damage that the entire front line needs to bear.
It can do things that only a fleet can do.
This is the offensive.
Even when this offensive ship was bombarded indiscriminately by the weapons carried by Yuhui's fleet and Yuhui's giant shipyard.
Its main weapon, the thermal pulse laser, is still outputting like crazy.
There is no need to rely on the shield to withstand the increase in radiation caused by damage.
The long and narrow crimson spindle-shaped energy restraint bullet that could directly kill a cruiser with one shot bombarded Yuhui's fleet as if it was free.
Even if there are two radiation-class main shields and a main-class shield temporarily used on the giant shipyard, the joint shield group built together gives a considerable blessing to all the Afterglow ships on the battlefield.
But the current situation on the battlefield is also due to the offensive of this ship, which has caused Yuhui to be completely suppressed and unable to engage in normal exchanges with the fleet of the Fourteenth Legion.
Even if the attached shield allows the capital ship shield to help low-level ships withstand damage caused by the capital ship's weapons.
However, the energy released when the energy restraint bomb hits and explodes does not reach the lower limit of the shield protection. The energy hits the surrounding spacecraft, which is a real deal.
A little carelessness could set off a series of fireworks in the fleet.
So much so that it was impossible for Yuhui to stand up to this situation of completely abandoning the shield, using armor to resist the front, and only focus on outputting offensive-level firepower.
The only way to solve such an offensive seems to be to find a way to deal with the two thermal pulse lasers.
But these two things are somewhat different from the main-level weapons of most other battleships.
It is not installed on a load-bearing point for easy maintenance and replacement.
Instead, it was installed directly in the ship during design and protected under the heavy armor of the offensive level.
If you want to destroy them in battle, you can only use high-intensity weapons to hit them from the position of its barrel.
But although this offensive ship that stood out at the forefront of the battle line did not activate its main-level shield on a large scale.
But in front of the two thermal pulse laser cannon barrels, a small independent shield connected to the main-level shield generator is still installed and is still turned on.
Afterglow cannot provide high-intensity continuous output to these two small shields, and there is no way to deal with thermal pulse lasers.
If we really want to specifically manage this offensive ship.
Looking at its current armor, we can tell that it is impossible for Yuhui to destroy it while another offensive ship is still covering it from behind.
The offensive was really too hard. While attracting most of the firepower, it also allowed the other fleets of the Fourteenth Legion to have a good output environment and a chance to breathe after the previous long-term firefight.
But if you don't care about it.
In addition to its armor, the offensive class itself is not a vegetarian in thermal pulse lasers.
If it had no protective pressure, it would be able to put the most terrifying pressure on Yuhui's entire front line, which would be even more terrifying than the average main fleet.
Therefore, Yuhui can only control it, destroy the offensive armor as soon as possible, reach the upper limit of what it can withstand, and retreat back to the battle line on its own.
This has resulted in Yuhui now being able to focus its firepower on the offensive.
It seems that there is no quick way to get out of this situation, and it looks like an extremely disadvantaged situation.
Such a scene.
But Chen Ming, who had just seen this scene, felt that there was something wrong.
Although Bai Quan is currently suppressing Yu Hui and fighting, Chen Ming feels that Bai Quan seems to be using his last resort.
This was his subconscious reaction. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with his guess.
It happened that the contact between him and Bai Quan had not been broken, so Chen Ming said directly to Bai Quan: "You don't seem to be in good condition over there?"
Bai Quan didn't show any unnecessary signs because of Chen Ming's question, and asked calmly: "Why do you say that?"
"Because I think you have already felt that you have no time to stay any longer, otherwise there is no need for the offensive ship to press forward alone."
Bai Quan's face was still expressionless and calm, but he smiled slightly in his heart.
At the same time, he was a little surprised that Chen Ming could discover the purpose of his actions so quickly.
However, Chen Ming had already given him many surprises. It was normal for a psyker to surprise him no matter what.
And Bai Quan has always thought highly of Chen Ming, so now that his thoughts have been guessed, he was only slightly surprised and admitted: "That's true."
"I've been procrastinating here for too long."
"If the new star ship is successfully launched, and after cooperating with Yu Hui to confirm that I have no other backup, the additional personnel that can be dispatched will be in place."
"I only have two ordinary offensive ships and I don't have the capital to continue to stand, so I must retreat."
"But fortunately, at least I took down a radiation ship at the beginning."
"You still make money, just a little less."
Chen Ming was a little confused and asked: "Don't you count on the special operations team you arranged?"
"The special operations team is just a temporary idea of mine. It can only be a supplement. Whether it can succeed or not depends on luck."
"I usually actively avoid the element of luck. Unless I have no other choice, I still want to create the final result myself."
"Then you were so serious before."
Bai Quan explained: "You have to have an attitude when doing things. If I asked you for help with a casual attitude before, is it possible that you are too lazy to help me?"
"And I just don't like luck, but if a little luck and a little loss can lead to unimaginable gains, then I'm still happy to do it."
"It's just that I don't completely place my hopes on it, so I say it's just a head start."
Chen Ming shook his head slightly and said: "Rich people are different with the additional 2 billion."
Bai Quan subconsciously said: "You psychic... Oh, you were just... okay. You will definitely not pay too much attention to things like money in the future."
Chen Ming suddenly noticed the problem in Bai Quan's words and said, "What do you mean, you are asking me for help with these things that I will not care about in the future while I still value money?"
"But you still need money now. And what I said is that I don't value it, not that I don't need it."
"Same."
Baiquan took the initiative to skip this topic and continued: "As you can see, my idea is to let the offensive level go forward alone to look for opportunities. If you find me, you may directly break through Yuhui's defense."
"If you can't find it, it's time to prepare to retreat."
"Look at Yuhui's battle front. Although it looks like it could happen at any time, it is actually very resilient and can definitely continue to hold on."
"I have an offensive ship here that is absorbing all of Yuhui's firepower, and the rest of the fleet is sending out all its power."
"If you can't defeat it just like this, there should be no follow-up."
"I have to prepare to shrink the front and retreat, otherwise it will be difficult to leave when afterglow's support arrives."
Bai Quan was silent for a while and then said to Chen Ming: "The next batch of assault boats is ready. After this batch is released, there will be a final batch of smaller ones."
"Want to put them together?"
"Let's separate and put more here."
Chen Ming displayed the three-dimensional image of the giant shipyard on the terminal at Bai Quan's hand, and marked the area where he controlled the most robots, which was the area that defended the artillery platform.
Bai Quan immediately noticed that there were quite a lot of details in the three-dimensional imaging on the panel. At first glance, it seemed that the specific data had been obtained through field surveys.
He conveniently made a copy of the imaging file and sent it elsewhere. This data was quite valuable.
Chen Ming obviously noticed Bai Quan's actions, but he acquiesced.
Because he was not the only one who got this specific three-dimensional imaging data, the special operations team also had it.
If the special operations team can return alive, this data will be of little value. It is better to give it to Bai Quan now.
Taking this data is equivalent to accepting part of his favor.
Baiquan obviously knew this, but it was not a bad thing to owe a favor to a psyker.
After saving the data, he immediately agreed to Chen Ming's request and issued an order to the department responsible for launching the assault boat.
A new round of enhanced assault boats was released.
At the same time, he was also thinking about why Chen Ming specified the placement.
He couldn't think of a result for the moment, so he simply asked Chen Ming directly.
"Why do you need me to concentrate on launching assault boats? Separating them can further disperse the defense forces within Afterglow and distract their attention."
"Because I'm useful."
Chen Ming's answer can be said to be a fusion of the four words "I don't want to say".
Bai Quan did not continue to ask, continued to command the fleet, and gradually began to shrink the formation.
Chen Ming had no time to chat and focused on the afterglow robots that were about to face the robots of the Fourteenth Legion.
It would obviously be foolish to do nothing.
But how to intervene specifically, he had to try it himself to determine.
At this time, the second batch, or to be precise, the third batch of assault boats can be seen on the defensive artillery platform, which has circled around from outside the battle line.
After a considerable part was intercepted, about a hundred assault boats hit the damaged outer wall of the giant dock and penetrated into the dock.
There are more than before.
It seemed that the frontal pressure from the Fourteenth Legion was enough, leaving Yuhui's protective power somewhat insufficient.
As soon as the hatches of these assault boats landed, they suddenly popped open, and a large number of combat robots from the Fourteenth Legion jumped out.
Some assault boats didn't even open the hatches, and the robots directly broke through the armor of the assault boats from the inside.
Only the number of robots destroyed in these programs even exceeded the number of defense units stationed by Afterglow for a short time.
This is exactly what Chen Ming wants to see.
In the sudden outbreak of fighting from the defensive artillery platform. Although Chen Ming did not control the robot all the time, he would take the initiative to expose the robot's flaws in the battle at some critical moments.
Let the robots of the Fourteenth Legion cause some damage to the Yuhui robot he controls that will affect the battle, but will not be completely destroyed.
While having a good excuse to withdraw from the battlefield, he can also avoid exposing the afterglow core installed in it.
However, Chen Ming also specially modified these robots. The core installation position is the innermost and hardest component of the entire robot. Basically, this situation will not happen.
Chen Ming was just taking precautions.
After this third wave of robots disembarked from the assault boats, they destroyed quite a lot of equipment that defended the artillery platform.
All the robots of the Fourteenth Legion were completely cleaned.
But the damage they caused to the Afterglow robots was obviously much more than the last time the Fourteenth Legion launched assault boats.
Of course, there is a situation where the robot controlled by Chen Ming is giving away for free.
However, the number of robots from the Fourteenth Legion that broke in at the beginning obviously exceeded the defensive units.
This situation is also very normal and is not worth worrying about for Yu Hui.
The damaged robots were quickly gathered together and prepared to be sent for repair through the orbital logistics system.
And because the direction facing the defensive artillery platform is fighting with the 14th Army Corps.
A large number of damaged spacecraft are basically being repaired at the nearby machinery processing plants and repair shops.
In addition, there are also factories in other places with varying numbers of ships being repaired.
Therefore, this batch of damaged robots was divided into three parts, placed on different rail logistics vehicles, and transported to different locations.
When the visual sensors of the robots controlled by Chen Ming saw the factory gate appearing at the end of the logistics channel. Wait
He knew his chance had come and he had to act immediately.
Because after entering the factory, Yu Hui's first step must be to scan these robots to confirm the damage for subsequent maintenance.
During this process, the afterglow core installed by Chen Ming inside the robot will inevitably be exposed.
So, before something like this happens, before the rail transport vehicles enter the factory.
Chen Ming took the initiative to destroy the weapon of a robot he controlled.
A large number of electric sparks instantly erupted on the rail transport vehicle, and then, as if triggering some chain reaction, electric sparks also erupted on a robot next to it.
And its weapon system suddenly started firing randomly as if it was on fire out of control.
In an instant, another unexpected situation occurred with a robot.
A series of chain reactions continued to occur in the car like a series of firecrackers.
This directly caused another rail logistics transport vehicle following behind to brake suddenly and stop.
But something even more unexpected happened again.
The weapon malfunction of the afterglow robot in front caused several stray bullets to reach the transport vehicle behind.
And this happened to trigger another accident.
A robot's battery fluid leaked, causing half of the logistics transport vehicle to burn.
A logistics vehicle can accommodate ten robots.
Between the two vehicles, at least a dozen robots had problems.
But in fact, there are only five robots controlled by Chen Ming here, and the rest are really unexpected chain reactions.
In addition, these robots themselves are damaged, so accidents are normal.
So Yuhui still has no doubts so far.
Only the factory quickly dispatched a robot team to deal with the messy scene.
Taking advantage of this extremely chaotic moment.
One robot suddenly erupted again, knocking the other robot away and pushing it against the wall.
And at the next moment, he accidentally destroyed the energy supply core of the robot beside the wall, intentionally or unintentionally.
A violent explosion occurred in the logistics channel.
The broken wall was accompanied by a huge amount of electric sparks, which instantly opened a large gap in the wall.
The damaged lines inside the wall were exposed. The damage to the lines caused the lights inside the freight channel to flicker a few times.
However, the backup power supply that was activated in time did not cause any problems in the freight channel.
At this time, Yuhui, who was controlling the robot team that came to deal with the robots, quickly issued a forced shutdown signal by relying on its advanced control authority.
However, the signal receiving component of the robot that caused the situation just did not receive this signal at all.
It even returned a series of faulty loop lock codes.
This kind of performance is clearly a sign of damage to the combat system chip.
Yu Hui had no doubts and immediately made the best solution to this situation.
He directly asked the robot that came over to set up its weapon and destroyed the head of the robot with the combat system chip installed on it.
With a large number of broken wires exposed in the air, the robot also fell next to the gap.
All this is Chen Ming's deliberate arrangement.
In a blind spot that cannot be captured by all the visual sensors and monitoring systems at the scene, a small amount of metallic liquid that is slightly invisible to the naked eye is appearing at the end of the data line in the broken gap of the robot.
Connect the data cable inside the wall to itself.
Now, Chen Ming finally found the opportunity and successfully touched the data line.
Chen Mingling was able to infiltrate from the data line into the nearby factory like a virus that was spreading crazily.
The factory collapsed instantly.
The machinery and equipment handling the accident outside the factory suddenly stopped for a moment.
Then, as if nothing happened, he continued the task just now.
Chen Ming continued to follow the common data lines in this area and traced them back to the location of the regional data nodes.
Controlled the beta-level afterglow here and mastered the database here without any setbacks.
Soon, the second blueprint for the new star fell into his hands.
This is a blueprint for a new star engine.
Coupled with the blueprint of the hull structure of the lower left corner of the new-star ship that Chen Ming obtained at the beginning, which looks somewhat "X" shaped.
There are probably a dozen or so remaining blueprints that need to be collected.
It seems like quite a lot.
But just now, two other factories assigned robot maintenance tasks also encountered similar accidents.
Although there are not as many accidents and coincidences here, the end result is the same.
Chen Ming also controlled the nodes there by touching the data lines.
Chen Ming also found two new blueprints in the databases of the other two nodes.
They are the armor blueprint of the left front part and the structural blueprint of the central part.
The feeling given to Chen Ming is that if he works harder, his goal of putting together the blueprint will be realized soon.
Moreover, with the beta-level core foundation of these three newly controlled areas, it should be relatively easy for him to control other areas and find new blueprint components.
But at this moment.
Chen Ming's consciousness suddenly fell into a trance, and a huge amount of fatigue flooded his brain.
For a moment, he seemed to have returned to Ruimu Planet, back to the moment when he had to exhaust his mental energy to survive.
He could feel very clearly that his mental strength had bottomed out again.
Chen Ming was stunned. He obviously didn't use so much mental energy.
And I have been deliberately saving.
When controlling a new area, as long as possible, let Yu Hui control it individually to help share his mental pressure.
It's impossible to use it that fast.
Chen Ming quickly gathered his consciousness and carefully felt the consumption of his mental energy.
Then he discovered that what the Ship Spirit had just given him was not directly added to his mental power.
It's some temporary mental power hanging in another place.
It will dissipate quickly even if not used.
Ship Spirit's shadow had faded a lot before, and it was impossible to provide him with spiritual power for the second time in a short period of time.
He had to find a way to solve this problem.
So far, Chen Ming has obtained several partial blueprints for new stars.
There was no way he would give up halfway.
Even if he had to hold on, he would still have to deal with it even if he was unconscious.
It's not like he hasn't passed out anyway. In the past, when he was in Ruimuxing, he would take the initiative to drain all his mental energy in order to fall asleep quickly.
The coma caused by the mere consumption of mental energy is nothing at all.
Chen Ming felt a little angry at this time.
If he doesn't see those blueprints for new stars, he can indeed withdraw at any time.
But not now. His reason, instinct and desire are telling him that he must obtain this complete blueprint.
However, at this time, even the pain of biting the tip of his tongue could no longer cheer him up.
So Chen Ming stood up directly from the desk and came to the small kitchen next door.
In the kitchen, he found a pointed kitchen knife and pointed it at his fingertips.
Even if you are injured here, it is the easiest place to heal quickly and the least likely place to have an accident.
The tip of the knife is against the fingertips.
The slight sting was no longer enough to wake him up.
So he slightly pierced the tip of the knife into the tip of his index finger.
A drop of blood fell on the table.
Feel the mental stimulation of pain.
Chen Ming took a deep breath subconsciously.
If he can continue to persist, he will definitely be able to put together the remaining blueprints.
