Chapter 4: Moment of Crisis
The huge battleship, as black as ink, seems to blend into the dark universe and is inconspicuous among the colorful battleships.
However, it was the true king that dominated the battle—the Shadowless Ship. Countless commands were transmitted from this main battleship.
At this moment, in the main command cabin of this battleship, in front of the huge holographic projection screen, there is a conference table with a black metallic luster.
Sitting in the main seat was a young officer in a dark blue military uniform with his eyes slightly closed. The hand supporting his forehead covered half of his face, leaving only his angular jaw and slightly upturned lips visible.
The other slender hand tapped lightly on the huge table in front of him, again and again, with a clear rhythm.
The dozens of generals sitting on both sides of the conference table were a group of young military officers. They all sat upright at this moment, quietly waiting for the man's order for the final blow.
And on the chest of their dark blue military uniforms, there was an eleven-star flag. This was... the flag of the Mingao Empire.
Mu Jiao didn't know what the battle situation was like outside, but the violent shaking of the warship again and again made her feel deeply uneasy.
Through the warehouse window, more and more war debris was floating in the space nearby, which directly indicated that the war outside was fierce. More and more mechas and interstellar fighters were falling. So were their warships still safe?
Every hour, someone would come to the armory to take away the installed mechanical guns. The mechanical guns were the basic weapons of the federal soldiers. The energy stones installed by Mu Jiao and the others could provide the force for the mechanical guns to fire energy bullets.
This type of mechanical gun is equipped with low-level energy stones. Each soldier will hold at least five of them. He will take one for himself and put the extra ones in the space twister as a backup. After all, although installing energy stones is not difficult, it takes at least three or four minutes. On the battlefield, every second counts, so naturally there is not much time to install energy stones.
Time passed minute by minute, and two logistics soldiers who came to collect energy guns came over pushing a cart, but their faces did not look good, and one of them even had an arm injury.
Seeing their condition, Mu Jiao's heart sank.
The two "magic weapons" of Interstellar - the treatment device and the treatment chamber.
Minor injuries that didn't involve any bone damage could be healed in three to five minutes using a treatment device. Injuries like missing arms or legs could be rebuilt after a few days in the treatment chamber.
Yet, this soldier received no treatment, only bandaged it. Furthermore, he was a logistics officer, so how could he get injured while on a warship? And why couldn't he even spare three to five minutes for treatment?
Mu Jiao thought about these situations and felt more and more uneasy.
Sure enough, after thousands of guns were loaded, the soldiers who directed them to load the guns asked about the external battle situation.
"Li Yan, what's the situation outside? Why are you still injured?"
"This is very bad. Our army is about to be surrounded. Old Xia, be ready to go out and fight at any time. If we don't come back in another hour, then you will take them to the battlefield to replenish weapons for our soldiers."
The injured soldier finished speaking quickly and prepared to leave.
"Wait, what do you mean you are not coming? Where are you going? Do you need to go out to the battlefield to deliver weapons now?" Old Xia, who was asking the question, grabbed Li Yan who was about to leave and asked.
At this time, the children in the warehouse, including Mu Jiao, stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Yan.
"Yes, the situation outside is not good. Our logistics team needs to start replenishing the battle. The enemy ships are approaching, and most of our fleet has been killed or wounded. Old Xia, take care of these children."
After saying that, Li Yan touched Lao Xia's shoulder and drove away from the armory without looking back.
Mu Jiao didn't know what awaited this soldier named Li Yan. She also didn't know what awaited her. Death or...
In short, after hearing what Li Yan's soldiers said, almost all of them were stunned.
It was not until their leader, Lao Xia, gave the order that they mechanically began to reload their guns again.
Time passed by minute by minute. Mu Jiao felt that this was the longest hour she had ever spent. She took time to look at the time on the computer from time to time. There were still 25 minutes and eight seconds before the next transport of firearms. In just over half an hour, the warship was hit by five artillery fires in succession, and the shaking became more violent each time.
