In the year 2050 AD, the sun is affected by an unknown influence, and a helium flash is imminent!
Is Earth in danger?
It doesn't matter, I'll make a move!
The Trisolaran s...
Outside the porthole, the once intense artillery fire had become extremely sparse.
Initially, the secondary flagship of the Bosa civilization attempted to attack the three Golden Crows of the second squadron.
With Zero's assistance, the Golden Crow battleship skillfully evaded each round of attacks.
Soon, the secondary flagship discovered the problem.
It would be virtually impossible for an attack launched by just one of its warships to hit these three cunning "Golden Crow" battleships.
Instead of wasting time and ammunition on this insignificant [Golden Crow] battleship, it would be better to get to the target area as soon as possible and directly attack the antimatter transport ship.
Therefore, it abandoned the idea of attacking and instead focused on continuing its journey.
As for the [Golden Crow] battleship, it had already ceased its attacks.
The reason is quite simple.
Although their attacks could hit the secondary flagship of Bosa, these insignificant attacks were completely ineffective at breaking through the enemy ship's shields.
As if by prior agreement, both warships focused solely on flying toward the target area.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the Bosa secondary flagship has not activated its warp drive.
Once it shows any signs of entering warp drive, Andrew and his crew will not hesitate to drive the Golden Crow battleship in a suicide attack.
The Bosa people were naturally aware of this as well.
After their first secondary flagship was damaged, they abandoned any idea of warp drive.
Andrew and the others were naturally happy to see this happen.
Thus, a strange and fragile balance was briefly achieved between the two warships.
...
[Antimatter transport ship signal detected. Please prepare for interception.]
A bright white message appeared in the holographic projection in front of Andrew, stirring up his previously somewhat depressed mood.
"Attention all units, immediately converge on the target starship!"
'Release shipborne drones to establish the first layer of defense!'
Messages are being sent out from the EEG reading device.
The hatches on the side of the battleship, 【Golden Crow】, opened rapidly, and a swarm of shipborne drones emerged from them, rushing straight toward the antimatter transport ship not far away!
A sharp alarm sounded simultaneously, breaking the brief tranquility inside the [Golden Crow] ship.
Bosa's secondary flagship launched the first attack on the antimatter transport ship!
The flames of war began to burn in this remote corner!
...
Antimatter cannon.
This is the primary attack method of Bosa's secondary flagship.
If the Golden Crow warships couldn't withstand such an attack, then naturally the antimatter transport ships couldn't either.
However, there is a clever way to circumvent this.
A large number of shipborne drones are used to build a thick material barrier, thus buying the starship some time to evade.
This is also the most commonly used defensive tactic on the main battlefield.
With bursts of explosions and incredibly intense gamma-ray bursts, the number of shipborne drones rapidly decreased!
Against the backdrop of the explosion's flames, the antimatter transport ship and the [Golden Crow] battleship gradually approached Gliese's sixth planet—Dawn Star.
As the blue planet became increasingly clear outside the porthole, Andrew's unease deepened.
Being on the battlefield, he understood better than anyone that as time went on, the frequency and power of enemy ships' attacks were rapidly increasing.
Clearly, these Bosa people were getting anxious.
[This is Golden Crow Number Three of the Second Squad!]
[Our shipborne drones have been completely exhausted. Repeat, our shipborne drones have been completely exhausted!]
[The second Golden Crow has exhausted all its carrier-based drones!]
The flashing words in the holographic projection made Andrew's expression darken even more.
Like his two allied ships, his Golden Crow had also exhausted all its drone inventory.
boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
One after another, flames lit up outside the porthole.
The originally dense array of shipborne drones gradually became sparse.
Support drones will arrive on the battlefield in five minutes!
Looking at the information from the Earth, Andrew took a deep breath of deep-sea liquid.
"Gentlemen, the support drones are arriving soon. Hold on for just five more minutes."
He sent messages to the two friendly ships.
...
As time goes on, the "shield wall" built by shipborne drones is becoming increasingly thin.
【warn! 】
[Antimatter cannon attack detected!!]
[Expected impact area: ...]
Looking at the data in the holographic projection, Andrew's breathing suddenly became rapid.
The area where he was hit was right next to him!
Just as he was about to order the Golden Crow to make an emergency maneuver, he suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the holographic image in front of him.
There aren't enough shipborne drones!
Although he hadn't done thorough calculations, he immediately recognized the problem based on his experience.
Currently, the number of shipborne drones in this attacked area is simply insufficient to buy enough time for the antimatter transport ship!
what to do? !
what to do? ! !
Should we move more drones from the side?
It's too late! It's too late!!
His pupils dilated slightly, and as his heart pounded wildly, a faint taste of blood spread through his dry mouth.
An order was issued.
The shipboard AI faithfully carried out his orders!
Boom!!
The antimatter engine is starting to operate at overload!
Propelled by countless particles, the Golden Crow battleship surged forward, filling the "gap".
