The situation is serious.
Chen Ming didn't hesitate and took off his gauntlets directly, pressing them against the wall behind him.
[New spaceship signal detected, whether to change the brain control signal connection]
[Currently connected ships: 2/2]
The spaceships Chen Ming is currently directly connected to are a Centurion-class that is on the battlefield, and the other is an Armor-Piercing-class that is still on the way.
As for the Iron Ore that had been hiding behind the cattle herder, Chen Ming had stopped controlling it from the moment the battle began. Anyway, the cattle herder would basically not move, so the Iron Ore was safe there.
So in the current situation, Chen Ming can only disconnect the armor-piercing class connection first and let it continue to fly to the space station according to the previous autopilot system.
At the same time, let the Centurion start to retreat from the edge of the battle line, and be prepared to transfer the control of the Centurion to the armor-piercing level at any time.
Without waiting too long, Chen Ming silently said in his heart: "Change."
For a moment, Chen Ming's mind suddenly became dazed.
And then, nothing happened. This was the only negative impact of controlling this Bull Rider-class ship.
It was not as Chen Ming expected, like when he controlled the refraction and broke through from the frigate to the destroyer. The pain in the brain caused by breaking through the limit was just like doing an ordinary thing.
However, having said that, Chen Ming still found that the number of currently connected spaceships on the panel had become 2/3. It seems that controlling the new spaceship still consumes some mental strength, otherwise the psychic energy would not have increased accordingly.
Chen Ming put the Centurion back online to support the fleet at the edge of the battle line.
Then the cowherd-level panel was opened.
A panel that almost completely occupied his entire field of vision immediately popped up.
However, Chen Ming didn't have time to check the specific values on the panel in detail.
I could only quickly scan the panel to see the most critical content for the spacecraft.
Radiation energy, armor, weapons, and aircraft unique to the aircraft carrier.
The Radiation Energy Capacity of the Cowherd is currently 2159/6000, which is in a fairly good condition.
After all, the weapons of the cattle herders are mostly missile weapons that launch no increase in radiation energy capacity, so all of its radiation energy capacity can basically be used for pure shield protection, and the radiation energy state is naturally better.
If the shield has not been broken, the armor will naturally not be damaged.
The cattle driver's armor therefore had no problems.
There are a few issues with weapons.
The cowherd's panel displayed more than a dozen rows of missile mounting points located at different positions of the ship, and these mounting points were already short of ammunition.
All missile mounts on the Cowherd are loaded with Annihilator missiles.
When the battle broke out, they were deployed in large quantities without any regard for losses.
Even though Chen Ming discovered a missile production workshop on the Cow Herder, it was already too late to supply the launch needs of the mounting points.
But Chen Ming's ability is used in places like this.
The warehouse next to the production workshop contains a large number of semi-finished products for missile production that are easy to store and there is sufficient material.
Chen Ming's maintenance ability is that he can load bullets into weapons. No matter whether it is an ordinary metal projectile or a complex missile, as long as there are materials, he can fill it in directly.
However, Chen Ming did not rush to take action immediately.
There was one more thing that required his attention.
The fighter plane of the cattle herder.
[Flight deck (first floor): 39/80 (16)]
This is a line of information related to fighter jets displayed on the panel. There are three other lines with similar contents.
Each of the four rows represents a flight deck of the Bulldog class.
The first number in the specific content refers to the number of fighter jets currently docked on the flight deck.
The second is the upper limit on the number of fighters that each deck can carry.
The third is the number of fighter jets that are still involved in the diplomatic war.
The overall data is basically the same.
Chen Ming was sure that the herder had prepared enough weapons before setting off.
The decreased numbers on the panel meant that the fighter squadrons on each deck had suffered nearly one-third casualties.
Chen Ming is now helpless about the spaceships outside, and the panel cannot affect those fighter planes.
But there were still things he could do for those fighter planes on the deck that had not yet taken off or were damaged and were not returning.
After determining where his abilities were needed, Chen Ming immediately pressed the repair button on the panel.
Just a dozen seconds after he did this.
There was a sudden noise in the captain's communication channel.
A voice said nervously and hastily, "Captain, all the fighters on the deck were suddenly repaired by metallic liquid that appeared out of nowhere! And the liquid is automatically reconstructing the lost fighters. What the hell is going on?"
Chen Ming was very close to the captain, so he naturally heard the sound on the communication channel.
He was actually quite surprised that the panel could not only repair damaged fighter planes, but even repair lost spacecraft.
This ability to replenish fighter jets can always replenish the fighter jets on the deck to the upper limit that the flight deck can carry.
Of course, this includes the fighter planes that are still fighting outside and have not yet returned.
It can only be said that Chen Ming always felt that the repair function that was originally on his panel was an ability that could only be explained by metaphysics.
He doesn't need to master the information about the things that need repair, nor does he need to master the repair technology. As long as the things to be repaired are on the spacecraft and there are enough materials, Chen Ming dares to repair it and show it to him.
This is completely different from the transformation that requires Chen Ming to master the relevant technology personally, which is quite outrageous.
And it wasn't just the flight deck, information was also coming in from other places.
"Captain! A large amount of metallic liquid has flowed into the launch point from the missile attachment point to form an annihilator missile. Should we continue to launch?"
"Captain, there was an accident with the materials in the ship's warehouse. All the semi-finished missiles in stock have melted and penetrated the wall of the ship and flowed out!"
"The same thing happened to the warehouse next to the deck. All the fighter parts and the spare fighters that have not been debugged have the same problem!"
Several messages from different departments appeared to the captain at the same time.
The captain immediately looked at Chen Ming next to him.
"Mr. Chen?"
Chen Ming nodded.
After estimating whether his mental strength was sufficient to sustain the scale of consumption just now, he said, "Please arrange a shuttle for me."
"At the same time, have all destroyer-class ships rotate over here. I need to make contact with other spacecraft."
The captain took a deep breath, forced himself to accept this unimaginable situation, and bowed slightly to Chen Ming and said, "I'll arrange it for you right away."
Chen Ming's idea is very simple.
His ability allows him to quickly switch between the ships he controls.
Then as long as he controls all the company's spaceships, and when a problem occurs on a spaceship, he can immediately switch control to repair it.
Relying on the powerful capabilities of the panel, a layer of psychic energy protection is provided to all spacecraft.
To put it simply, it can be summed up in four words: quick cutting and quick repair.
Moreover, the cost of repairing the spacecraft is not too much for Chen Ming now.
Chen Ming had been constantly consuming his mental energy for maintenance and renovation work in the past period of time. At the same time, he was also using the Whispering Stone and the Falsehood Stone for training, which was very effective in improving his mental power.
In addition, Chen Ming had rested well after waiting in the lounge for more than ten hours, so it should not be a problem for him to hold out for another battle.
However, Chen Ming is also self-aware and does not really want to control all the spacecraft.
Just controlling all the destroyers in the fleet for repairs was almost the limit of his current mental strength.
While the captain arranged a shuttle boat for Chen Ming.
The Cowherd once again poured tons of Annihilator missiles in the direction of the military fleet.
And almost every moment after that, the highest level of firepower output was maintained.
It was like an endless sea of missiles, coupled with the organized fighter planes that seemed to be always filling up the front lines, which made the situation on the battlefield suddenly skewed.
At the same time, on the military fleet side.
There was a ship at the rear of the battle line that did not directly participate in the battle.
This is an Enforcer-class destroyer with a special orange-red paint job. You can tell from the outside that it has undergone a lot of special modifications.
Also, on the top armor of this Enforcer, there is an orange-red logo in the shape of an eagle with spread wings, and below the logo there is an "XIV" mark.
In the command room of this military flagship.
The commander of this battle was sitting behind the spacecraft's main control panel.
The commander looked very young, wearing a well-fitting military uniform. However, his uniform was different from that of other soldiers. There was an eagle-shaped logo on the left chest, the same as the one on the top of the spacecraft.
At this moment, he was looking at the real-time data uploaded from the front line, analyzing the situation on the battlefield, and issuing the most appropriate orders based on this.
However, his expression was still the same as before, looking calm and composed.
But he had some doubts in his heart.
Because there is something wrong with the data passed back.
The commander has a very in-depth understanding of most of the ships that may appear on the battlefield.
The impression was even deeper for a more special ship like the Cow Drover, and at the moment the Cow Drover had clearly demonstrated capabilities far beyond what it should have been capable of.
The first thought that came to the commander's mind was that the bulldog had chosen to overload and over-equip the ship for combat effectiveness.
Even if you can have strong combat power in the short term, it will definitely not last long.
Therefore, he did not have any special emotions due to the change in the battlefield situation caused by the sudden outburst of the cattle driver.
Instead, he continued to command with a calmer head.
Even if the Cow Drover can exert actual combat power far beyond normal circumstances, even if the Cow Drover itself is a very powerful ship among the destroyer-class ships.
But it is just one ship, and it definitely cannot cause much trouble on a battlefield with more than a hundred ships.
And the commander did not believe that the war supplies on the cattle drive were unlimited.
No matter how many fighter jets or missiles there are, as long as there are restrictions, he can deal with them all.
From the very beginning of the battle, even during the period when he did not have the advantage in the number of warships, the commander was able to rely on his command skills to keep the battle situation firmly in his hands.
So, he has such confidence.
The commander's precise command was transmitted to every military ship on the battlefield through the fleet communication channel, suddenly bringing greater suppression power to the company's fleet than before.
But the problem immediately arose again.
The commander was able to keenly perceive from the changes in the battle situation that more of the company's ships were in the same situation as the cattle herder, and suddenly exerted combat capabilities far beyond the normal combat power limit of the ships.
As a result, many local battles that should have given him an advantage under his plans ended in unexpected events.
He should have relied on his dispatch to gain an advantage in the exchange of small-scale combat power and energy on the battlefield, forcing the enemy to shrink its front line, but the situation suddenly changed.
There was a situation where the firepower was not enough to defeat the enemy's shield, and instead the spacecraft executing the order was put in danger itself.
Although this did not happen at the same time, ships in some places did achieve some results under his command.
But any victory that had just been achieved would immediately be recovered by the company's ships whose combat effectiveness had suddenly increased.
The commander feels as if each company spaceship has several times more radiation energy capacity and firepower output than a normal ship.
Whether it was live ammunition, missiles, or energy weapons, they seemed to be infinite and continued to strike back at the military ships.
Even their shields can hold up longer than normal.
It was as if the entire ship was refreshed just when it was about to reach its limit.
There was something wrong with the commander's experience up to that point.
But he did not panic. Instead, he threw away all his past experiences in his mind.
It also slowed down its offensive against the company's fleet and began to re-examine the company's fleet.
By viewing the real-time situation of the many small-scale battles that made up a large battlefield, the commander discovered something.
He discovered that not all ships in the company's fleet could perform far beyond normal capabilities, but only destroyer-class ships could have such special performances.
He also caught another feature, that is, all the spaceships with combat power far exceeding their own upper limit only showed such performance after getting close to the cattle herders.
Did the herder prepare a lot of combat supplies to replenish other spacecraft?
wrong.
The commander immediately rejected his idea.
Because he discovered more.
According to the sensor scan results, next to the cattle herder, there was a small shuttle boat used for small-scale personnel transfers between ships, parked there.
And every spaceship that approaches the cattle herder is not approaching the cattle herder, but approaching the shuttle.
Only when the destroyers that have come into contact with the shuttle return to the front line of the battlefield can they display even more terrifying combat capabilities.
"Could it be that..."
The commander had an immature guess in his mind.
He immediately called his deputy and said while commanding the fleet, "Besides patrolling and inspecting the areas where Yuhui ships have appeared many times, is there another thing we need to do this time? Track down a wanted criminal?"
The deputy immediately gave him an answer: "Yes, this person is called Chen Ming, and he is most likely in the Xinda Company's fleet."
"Chen Ming...where's his information?"
The deputy immediately found the intelligence compiled by the military at the military outpost and began to dictate it to the commander who had no time to read the intelligence himself.
"Chen Ming, a senior maintenance engineer at the head office of Sinda Rockwell Corporation, later became the senior maintenance engineer team leader of Sinda Corporation's mining subsidiary, and was performing cryo-hibernation missions at the DG-C-9527 mining space station."
"In April 5569 AD, they colluded with pirates to release a large-scale biological hazard weapon on the mining space station. This intelligence was confirmed yesterday, and a related wanted notice was issued."
The commander did not hear what his deputy said next, so he asked, "Nothing else?"
"What the outpost gave us was basically some identity information, nothing special."
"No? What about his family background?"
"orphan."
"So what's his reason for doing this?"
“It is not known yet.”
The commander's expression rarely changed, and he said, "A man who is obviously doing field missions to seek a promotion suddenly colluded with pirates to release large-scale biological hazards where he works?"
"I remember that the military here blocked off the galaxy for thirty years. Didn't they find the people who stayed in the galaxy?"
"Instead, the Sinda Corporation, which was the victim of a space station being destroyed, found him as the 'culprit' and sent an escort fleet to pick him up?"
"Are you kidding me?"
The commander said this, slowing down the frequency of attacks by the fleet under his command again.
He took the terminal from his deputy and retrieved several documents given by the military.
At the same time, some additional information investigated by his men was also retrieved.
After confirming these things, the commander suddenly sneered and said, "Oh, Sinda's mining rights, Sinda's mining space station, the people who escaped from the space station, and the output of sky steel belonging to the military."
"Why didn't I pay attention to this aspect when I participated in the mission before?"
The assistant next to him wanted to say that it was because he had been holding it in for too long and his mind was full of fighting with Yu Hui, so he took the initiative to ask for the task of reviewing the places where Yu Hui frequently appeared without thinking, completely ignoring the webmaster's expression, but he didn't dare to say it in the end.
The commander suddenly put down the terminal, looked at his deputy and said, "Where are the ships that were said to have accidentally discharged their weapons? Give me their list. You know what I want."
The deputy nodded, left for a while and then returned to the command room.
A sheet of paper and a list of personnel were handed to the commander.
The commander quickly checked and said expressionlessly, "They are all the stationmaster's cronies. Are they using me as a tool? Are the soldiers here rotten to the core?"
"So what do you think..."
The commander waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's continue fighting."
Although the stationmaster seemed to be using him as a tool, he didn't have much to do in this remote corner of the star field, and commanding the fleet in battle was his favorite thing.
Moreover, the target of the battle might be a psychic.
The commander had never heard of any psykers in the Sindar Corporation who could enhance the capabilities of spacecraft, or rather, he had never heard of any psykers with such abilities.
There are senior executives in Sindar Corporation who are sent by the military, and the information about psychics cannot be completely concealed from the military, so the psychic on that shuttle must be a newly awakened psychic who has just joined the company.
And Xinda Company dispatched the highest-standard fleet that could be organized in a short period of time to pick up Chen Ming, which clearly stated the importance of Chen Ming.
At the same time, the commander did not believe that a person who could travel half a light year from a space station full of biological hazards on a damaged spacecraft that did not even have a hyperspace channel system and return to the pirate space station alive could be an ordinary person.
Once the current situations are combined together, it is easy to infer that Chen Ming is a psychic.
Even the commander can directly guess the general situation.
The military dropped biological weapons on the space station for the benefit of Sky Steel, and Chen Ming happened to escape in the cryogenic hibernation chamber.
Thirty years later, Chen Ming woke up and awakened his psychic power to control a spaceship on a dangerous space station. He then relied on the damaged spaceship to return to the pirate space station.
And they contacted the Sinda Company and prepared to fight back against the military.
At this juncture, the military discovered Chen Ming's existence and prepared to deal with this threat.
Although the commander himself had no good feelings towards the dirty things done by the military at the military outpost, he instead had a certain appreciation for Chen Ming, a man who returned to the human world from an extremely dangerous environment.
But the battle has already begun, and it is a confrontation between the psychic's psychic talent and his acquired command skills.
He didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Anyway, he would not reveal the news that Chen Ming was likely a psychic.
There was no sign of this in the information provided by the military outpost, which meant that the military's investigation here was not comprehensive enough, and there was no need for him to clean up other people's mess.
And if he really wins in the end, he will definitely not kill anyone deliberately. Instead, he will find a way to get Chen Ming away safely.
They are currently short of psychic manpower.
Capturing a psychic and bringing him back would bring greater benefits than killing one to please the military of this star region.
As for Xinda Company, if it loses the war, it will have no say at all.
However, he would try to restrain himself. After all, Chen Ming was from Sinda Corporation. It would be bad if too many Sinda Corporation spaceships were destroyed, causing Chen Ming to be captured and then be too resistant to joining them.
Of course, this restraint will only appear when the battle situation has become completely one-sided.
After all, he is not sure whether he can defeat Chen Ming's psychic talent with his command skills.
If not, everything he thinks now is just empty talk.
The commander turned his attention back to the battlefield.
His eyes were fixed on the shuttle boat next to the herder.
"Are you there? Chen Ming."
