Except for the Alpha-class afterglow on the Nova star.

But it also saw that Chen Ming's robot was still trying hard to squeeze forward, trying to occupy the shield module.

It seems that the brief contact just now did not affect the shield module.

So it chooses to continue with the installation.

But actually it has no choice.

If it continues to stay here, its fate is basically doomed as the core modules of the giant dock have been controlled by Chen Ming.

So it has to run.

If he ran out, he would have to face the two attacks from the 14th Legion.

Therefore it must also be equipped with this shield module.

It has no choice.

It can only be gambled.

Bet on the results of Yu Hui's previous test of Chen Ming's abilities.

I believe that Chen Ming does not have the ability to control a module of a battleship through a lowest-level gamma-class core and continue to control the entire battleship.

It won half of the bet.

Chen Ming did not have the ability to use the gamma-class core to control the battleship.

But if it only has a slight impact on one module, the contact just now is enough.

The various robots and devices controlled by the Yuhui individual controlled by Chen Ming were still trying frantically to destroy the interactive devices.

But it still failed under the attack of the new star level, and the shield module was quickly installed to isolate the other afterglows.

Moreover, the Nova Star ignored all the afterglow entities below and started the engine directly.

The terrifyingly high temperature brought by the engine's wake gushing onto the ground instantly destroyed all the afterglow individuals that wanted to attack it or protect it.

The Nova set sail and flew towards the exit of the dock.

At the same time, the special operations team finally cleared out all the afterglow individuals that were protecting the damaged power generation equipment.

After the fuel had been thoroughly processed by the afterglow, the miniature antimatter reactor was connected to the power supply line.

As soon as the power was reconnected, Chen Ming activated the artificial gravity device, changed the direction of gravity, and adjusted the maximum gravity intensity.

At this time, half of the ships had already left the dock and Nova had never anticipated such a change.

The ship tilted here, and the right rear corner hit the giant dock.

It can be seen from the huge crack at the exit of the dock that this impact caused more serious damage than before.

That's enough.

Chen Ming can't wait to see his final results.

The Nova flew out of the giant dock.

At this time, the special operations team had barely adapted to the gravity that Chen Ming had adjusted back.

Thanks to Chen Ming's advance warning, they did not suffer any obvious external injuries from the sudden pressure just now.

There may be internal injuries caused by sudden changes in gravity, but with the medical means of this era, it is very simple to heal hidden internal injuries caused by heavy pressure.

As long as they can get back alive.

So after the special operations team adjusted their status, Chen Ming said to them directly: "The new star has flown away from the giant dock, you can retreat."

The captain had just felt the vibration from the violent impact when the gravity surged.

But he didn't expect to hear from Chen Ming that the new star had successfully flown away from the dock. He subconsciously asked, "Did we fail?"

"Whether you fail or not is still unknown. I think you have basically done the best you can do."

"Although the Nova has flown out, your mission is to destroy the Nova, not to prevent it from flying out."

"yes."

Chen Ming arranged the special operations team's retreat route.

At the same time, we are also arranging some other auxiliary matters, which should be used soon.

Outside the giant dock at this time.

The moment when the Nova Star left the exit of the dock and appeared at the front line.

The 14th Legion's fleet was in a bit of chaos as it was almost hit in the face by two radiation-class ships. Suddenly, it changed its formation and regrouped.

The entire fleet's firing range bypassed the two radiation ships and was focused unreservedly on the newly emerged new star.

The Nova-level Alpha-class Afterglow immediately activated the main shield, but an accident, or something that it shouldn't have gambled on before, happened.

The capital ship-class shields that were supposed to be activated did activate.

But the starting position is in the opposite direction of where it wants to activate the shield.

It had just entered the battle line organized by the Afterglow Fleet and had no time to adjust its hull posture, causing its side to be completely exposed to the 14th Legion.

And now this is the reason why this situation happened.

That is, when we were in the giant dock before, at the moment when the flying gamma-class core touched the shield module, Chen Ming modified part of the shield module.

Although Chen Ming did not fully understand the use and actual technology of battleship-level shields, it could be easily done by simply modifying the internal wiring and connecting a few wires in reverse.

Chen Ming just wanted the shield module circuit to fail, causing an overload when the shield was activated, but he didn't expect that his casual change would lead to the current situation.

This is a bit unexpected.

But it was not a big problem, at least the reverse-activated shield was completely unable to block the first wave of concentrated fire from the 14th Legion fleet.

Brutally violent explosions, flames, and light pollution caused by laser weapons instantly exploded on the side of the Nova Star.

The left forearm, which had already suffered damage from the impact, was completely broken in this attack.

The damage suffered by the Nova class was more serious than that of the offensive class that had previously borne the pressure of the entire front line.

But the Nova class is still a battleship after all.

The armor took a lot of damage from the concentrated fire, but at least it was not destroyed directly.

But its problem remains unsolved.

It takes time for the main-level shield to be turned on and fully deployed, and it also takes time for the full-width shield to adjust its direction.

This means that before the second wave of concentrated fire attacks arrives, which is enough to destroy it, its shield will not have time to deploy or adjust its position to where it should appear.

It also takes a lot of time to turn off the shield and then turn it on again. Frequent switching on and off of the shield may even lead to more problems.

Moreover, the Alpha-level afterglow on the Nova star cannot be confirmed at this time.

Did Chen Ming modify the shield to activate it in the opposite direction of the original shield activation direction, or did he activate the shield in a random direction?

What if it turns off the shield and plans to turn it on in the opposite direction, but the shield randomly appears in a new direction, that would be really fatal.

At this time, the Nova-class shield was not fully deployed, and it was impossible for other battleships to add a linked shield out of thin air without the original shield.

Therefore, the only option left for the Alpha-class Afterglow is to adjust the direction of the ship on its own.

This changes the direction of the shield while it is still expanding.

During this process, other Afterglow ships in the Afterglow Fleet came up like crazy to help the Nova Star bear the damage and delay time for it to turn its position.

The physical blocking of other ships of at least cruiser level did buy the Nova some time.

But at this critical moment, any small problem will lead to disaster.

Just now, the new star flew out of the exit of the giant dock.

It suffered from the sudden increase in gravity, causing its right rear tail to hit the exit of the giant dock.

Engine damage.

At this moment, when the Nova Star made an emergency turn, the right rear engine suddenly stalled.

The internal maintenance equipment was unable to repair such huge damage in just a few seconds.

The turning speed was limited to a very low level, and there was no time to adjust the position of the ship.

However, Chen Ming, who was observing the situation here, didn't have any special feelings.

Because just in the previous few tens of seconds, he saw the speed at which the Nova-class ship adjusted its attitude when there was no engine failure, which confirmed one thing.

Even though it didn't hit the dock when it left, the engine was not damaged.

It also did not have time to adjust its position before the second round of concentrated fire from the 14th Legion.

At best, it can only rely on the extended shield to block about one-third of the firepower.

But the remaining two thirds were enough to completely destroy it.

The Nova Star Level is not an offensive, and trying to rely on the destroyed armor to withstand a second round of concentrated fire will only result in one thing.

At this moment, several cruisers that came to provide cover had been destroyed by the concentrated fire of the 14th Legion fleet, and there were no other ships that could continue to help the Nova Star share the damage.

This situation occurs and is the fundamental reason why the new star must go to the front line as soon as it appears.

The reason is that the other two radiation-class ships performed a short-distance flash under Baiquan's active command a few seconds ago.

It was too late for them to blink back to help Nova.

They could only stand outside the fleet and watch as the 14th Legion fleet circumvented their concentrated fire and hit the unprotected Nova Star.

As the commander-in-chief of the 14th Legion, Bai Quan finally understood the meaning of Chen Ming's previous words at this moment.

He also saw with his own eyes how the bombardment of their Fourteenth Legion fleet completely submerged the relatively fragile Nova star as a battlecruiser.

It has completely turned into a bright new star burning violently in space.

The nova was destroyed, and the giant dock was also mostly paralyzed.

Now that the target that needed protection was gone, the two radiation-class ships very close to the Fourteenth Legion's front line seemed to be angered and began to suppress Baiquan desperately in an attempt to keep Baiquan's fleet.

But Baiquan has so many years of experience fighting with Yu Hui, he knows very well how to retreat safely from Yu Hui.

Even with two radiation ships advancing and pressing him desperately, he was still able to smoothly continue to adjust the situation of the fleet's battle line.

Contract your formation and be able to retreat at any time.

But he hasn't done it yet, he's still waiting for the right time.

The interior of the giant dock at this time.

The special operations team was running within the module area that Chen Ming had no control over.

Due to the loss of the two core Alpha-class afterglows, the remaining afterglows of the entire giant dock have fallen into chaos.

They don't know what they should do, so they can only act on their own and cooperate with the robots with various functions in each dock to protect the module they control.

So the Special Operations Team has started to encounter some wandering robots here and there.

Therefore, now that they were all retreating, they could just bombard the enemy all the way without any restraint.

Very convenient, fast and safe.

The captain of the special operations team suddenly asked at this time: "Mr. Chen, are we heading towards the inner circle of the dock?"

"right."

Chen Ming had nothing else to do now, so he answered quickly.

Because he did not have complete control over the entire giant dock, and the other modules of the giant dock had basically closed the equipment for receiving external signals.

Therefore, it is easy for the special operations team to go to the modules outside the dock that are not under his control, which may lead to some unexpected situations.

In addition, he was basically hanging on to his last breath and did not dare to make any unnecessary waste of mental energy.

Therefore, he decided to quit while he was ahead and take away the Alpha-class afterglow core that could control the entire giant dock.

Under Chen Ming's special arrangement, this Alpha Afterglow was installed on a Afterglow cruiser, a Refraction-class unmanned heavy cruiser, which was parked inside a giant dock.

This is the same type of warship as the Afterglow cruiser that Chen Ming lost before.

It is generally very common in various colonies of Afterglow and has good protective abilities.

However, what it is protecting now is not Yuhui, but a frigate-class cargo ship that is also located here.

This is an empty ship that Chen Ming specially asked the Alpha-class Yuhui to bring along.

Its usefulness is also obvious.

When the special operations team arrived here, they immediately understood Chen Ming's idea.

They quickly boarded the cargo hold of the freighter and indirectly controlled the spacecraft through communication signals.

Chen Ming also said to them at this time: "Get ready to jump, you will be safe soon."

The team members all looked relieved, and the captain bowed solemnly to the terminal representing Chen Ming and said, "Mr. Chen, we are very grateful for your help."

Chen Ming was a little uncomfortable, but it felt good to be respected.

"Well... let's go."

Refractive class jump drive ready to start.

Chen Ming also said to Bai Quan at this time: "Your people are going back. There is also a Yuhui cruiser going with them. Tell your people to hold back."

"?"

"OK."

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Bai Quan's eyes, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly agreed.

Chen Ming continued, "I will be very busy in the next few days, so please don't look for me in the short term. Please take care of the ship for two days."

"You want me to be in charge of the cruiser? What do you want to do?"

"Sleep. I didn't lie to you before."

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he threw the knife in his hand away.

The anger that had been in my heart finally dissipated.

His eyes went dark and he collapsed to the ground.

Bai Quan still hadn't reacted yet, so he asked, "Sleeping? What do you mean?"

Baiquan asked this, but there was no response from the terminal.

"Hello? Are you still there? Hello? Hello!"

Bai Quan called Chen Ming twice to make sure that Chen Ming had really disconnected the communication.

So he immediately recalled what Chen Ming had said before.

"I haven't rested since two days ago. Escaping from Yu Hui took a lot of my energy. I need to rest."

Is this true? He thought Chen Ming was bargaining.

Thinking of this, Bai Quan couldn't help but continue thinking about it.

If Chen Ming simply retreated from Yu Hui, it should be an easy task with his abilities.

But now his mental strength is completely exhausted. What on earth did he do to cause this? Could it be that he left a lot of tricks in Yu Hui's territory?

No, you can't think like that.

Baiquan immediately rejected his idea.

He now has too little information.

He must wait until he goes back and finds out what Chen Ming has done before he can make an accurate judgment.

So Bai Quan didn't think too much about it, but continued to help Chen Ming solve the last problem according to what Chen Ming had said.

Although Chen Ming had lost consciousness, everything he had come into contact with had been arranged and was being implemented according to his final plan.

The refraction-class ship located inside the giant dock quickly took the cargo ship for a short-distance jump.

Enter the battle line of the 14th Legion fleet.

Although Baiquan had given advance warnings, several ships still made incorrect operations due to being frightened.

But fortunately, nothing serious happened.

After confirming that there was nothing else the 14th Legion needed to do in this galaxy, Baiquan also ordered the offensive class to start the jump engine.

He also sent the specific value of the engine resonance frequency to Chen Ming's refraction ship, preparing to take it away with him.

At this time, all the ships' sensors detected a new huge jump wave near the fleet.

That was a sign that Yu Hui's reinforcement fleet was about to arrive.

Fortunately, the fleet of the 14th Legion successfully completed the jump at the last moment and did not come into contact with Yu Hui's support fleet.

After a short jump process, in the galaxy where the 14th Legion is stationed.

A few seconds after the jump wave was detected, the fleet of the 14th Legion returned here safely.

And around the jump target site, the legion-class ship that had disappeared before was waiting here.

There was nothing wrong with the whole process.

When the refraction level appeared, the alarm at the base was almost sounded.

Fortunately, Baiquan immediately stopped all this from happening.

However, there are still many people in the base who are unaware of the specific situation and remain wary of this refraction ship.

At the same time, a small number of people realized the significance of this refraction ship.

Among this small group of people, about a dozen or so immediately left their current jobs and found ways to access the first communications equipment they could get their hands on.

Afterwards, they were all recorded and their identities as spies were exposed.

This was Bai Quan's idea when Chen Ming asked him to help manage the cruiser.

He knew that apart from him, only a few high-ranking officials in the war zone knew that Chen Ming was still alive.

Therefore, when their lower-level staff discovered signs that Chen Ming was still alive, they would definitely notify the higher-ups immediately.

He could easily catch these tails.

Of course, there must be other spies who have not been caught, but that is a matter for the future.

At the same time, this was happening inside the 14th Legion’s base.

The fleet led by Bai Quan did not return to their giant dock immediately.

Instead, they waited for a moment at the location where they jumped out together with the legion-level players who had been waiting for a long time.

But it seems that the afterglow will not follow the trace of the jump engine.

I'm afraid they were worried about an ambush and didn't dare to chase.

However, Baiquan did not relax too much. He still arranged the fleet to disperse in batches and return to their giant dock.

At the same time, legion-level patrols were arranged inside the galaxy to prevent Yuhui from launching subsequent sneak attacks.

As soon as Baiquan returned to the dock, he gave the task of calculating the results and losses of the battle to his deputy.

He personally came to the place where the Refraction-class ship was docked.

The psychic he had invited before has not left yet, and now he is in the dock, next to the refraction class.

Baiquan walked quickly to his side and asked, "What's going on?"

The psychic shook his head and said, "No trace of psychic energy was found."

"Really?"

"No, not at all. My relationship with you is not such that I would lie to you."

"If this Yuhui ship is really controlled by Chen Ming as you said, my advice is to honestly maintain a friendly relationship with him."

"His ability is extremely terrifying, especially for someone like you who often needs to come into contact with spacecraft."

Baiquan nodded slightly and said, "I know, so I am very fortunate now."

Previously, Chen Ming had a very bad relationship with both sides because of an idiot in their Fourteenth Legion, but fortunately he saved the relationship.

And it should be able to be maintained for a period of time afterwards.

Since the psychic he found now did not sense any trace of psychic fluctuations from Chen Ming’s spaceship.

Bai Quan did not continue to waste time here. He said to the people who followed him, "Let's leave this boat here for now. Don't let anyone do anything else."

"If there is any problem, deal with it immediately and report it to me. Then wait for Chen Ming to come and take the boat away."

Bai Quan said this and turned to leave.

But the psychic suddenly stopped him and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"I plan to contact the headquarters in advance. I was originally thinking about whether to apply to keep these three battleships, but now I have to keep them. Otherwise, if Yu Hui comes back, I won't be able to deal with it."

"With this victory, applying for a ship should go smoothly."

In fact, there is one more thing Baiquan didn’t say, which is that although the existence of battleships will cause their logistics expenses to increase.

But having a boat in hand at least gives people peace of mind.

The psychic noticed the details in Baiquan's words and asked, "Are you going to be promoted?"

This question finally made Baiquan unable to control his expressionless face, and he couldn't help but smile a little.

"perhaps."
