But this is far from enough.
Although the new Mars broke through the siege with its huge tonnage, its acceleration was far inferior to those nimble crystal spacecraft.
Therefore, after a brief chaos, the crystal storm quickly restored order, and those crystals that had been left behind by the fortress spacecraft quickly formed a network formation and surrounded the direction of Bai Yi's escape.
Bai Yi was extremely anxious as he watched the encirclement draw closer. They were still quite a distance away from the edge of the Crystal Storm's subspace shield. If he released the escape pod at this moment, the fragile pod would be unable to escape safely from such a dense attack.
He has no useful cover now.
The defense lines within the galaxy had been completely torn apart by the crystals, most of the drones had been consumed in the previous battle, and even the gun positions of the planetary spacecraft itself had been more than half destroyed.
The only solution Bai Yi could think of was to fight to the death. Turn the fortress around and set it on a collision course with one of the battle planets. Then, overload the remaining turrets and ship engines, and release all the drones he could mobilize.
Then pray that the above measures can attract the attention of the crystal storm and buy time for the evacuation of the escape pod.
All those willing to leave have had their consciousness copied, and all this information has been placed on a biochip. This biochip will then be copied 15 times and placed into 15 escape pods. After the next round of tachyon bombardment from the battle star, these escape pods will be launched simultaneously, taking advantage of the aftermath of the explosion.
Miss Ainol was unable to use a brain scanner due to her special properties, so she got into a high-pressure gas tank made of transparent material and was randomly placed in one of the escape pods.
Bai Yi also backed up his biochip 14 times, for a total of 15 chips, including his main body. Each chip corresponded to an escape pod and also served as the pilot of the escape pod.
But unlike others who uploaded their data through scanning, since Bai Yi is originally a series of data, each of these 15 backups can be regarded as his original body.
After escaping danger, these data can be merged through the Galaxy Network. They will overwrite the same parts of the data and recombine them according to different contents, finally forming a brand new Bai Yi.
That is to say, if you take out one of these 15 pictures individually, it is Bai Yi, and the one they finally merge into is also Bai Yi. They are indistinguishable from each other and are part of a unified collection.
The New Mars began to spin faster along the longitude, and the huge inertia threw everyone in the shelter against the wall.
Finally, the new Mars completed its turn and was now pointing directly at Battle Planet No. 3. The distance between the two was now five light seconds, or about 1.5 million km.
Since they are traveling in opposite directions, if the fortress spaceship wants to hit its target, it needs to first reduce the relative speed of both parties to 0 and then accelerate.
Given the current state of the planet's power, this would be a lengthy process. Bai Yi didn't expect to actually collide with the other party, but simply hoped that doing so would help him attract more hatred.
Everything is ready, just a countdown is left.
Battle Stars 3, 4, and 5 grew brighter. Their brightness was the countdown, and when the brightness of these three planets reached its peak, the countdown would come to an end.
As the countdown reached zero, Bai Yi made all the necessary preparations. He lay tensely in the cramped memory of the escape pod's main control computer, ready to launch the pod remotely at any moment.
But after a long wait, the expected tachyon bombardment did not arrive. Instead, the remaining air-field radar in the galaxy sent a warning to the Star Mars.
"Reality barrier breach detected."
"Subspace matter leak detected."
"Communication signal detected."
"IFF verification passed, target identified as... friendly."
"Friendly forces?"
This sudden change confused Bai Yi, but then he was filled with great joy.
He thought that the support from the Galactic Alliance had finally arrived.
However, the facts poured cold water on him.
What they arrived at was not the Galactic Alliance's support fleet, but the Apollo-class stealth special forces ship, the Apollo, which had received the order to disengage earlier.
No one knew what had happened, but the spacecraft arrived in this universe more than ten hours later than expected.
But Bai Yi didn't have time to care about it now. He just wanted to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.
However, a strange scene appeared.
After entering this system from the Sun God, the crystals that had been entangled around the New Mars stopped their attacks and were gradually left behind by the fortress ship. Even the crystal battle star in the distance, which had been fully charged with energy, gradually dimmed.
It's like someone pressed the rewind button on time.
But time did not really go back, it was just that the Crystal Storm took the initiative to stop attacking.
Bai Yi didn't know what exactly happened, but he had already vaguely guessed the reason behind it all.
In the visible light band, Apollo shines as bright as a fucking sun!
If the data reported from this thing's main engine was not normal, Bai Yi would have suspected that its reactor had melted.
"Is this normal?"
Bai Yi forwarded the captured footage to the shelter.
However, Enol and Max did not recognize it.
"What is this?"
They both asked in unison.
It's not their fault. Because the Apollo is so bright, it looks like a dazzling ball of light in the picture. These lights pass through the dust clouds composed of various debris and cosmic dust around it, producing a strong Tyndall effect.
Bai Yi increased the intensity of the filter, and as the picture became darker and darker, the group of people were finally able to see the true form of the light ball.
"This is... the Sun God?"
"Yeah."
Bai Yi nodded.
"The name of this ship is quite descriptive. It really is quite bright."
"no!"
Ainol immediately retorted.
"This isn't an art exhibition. Do you think we're crazy enough to make our scout ship so shiny?"
"That……"
Bai Yi spread his hands.
"Why is that?"
…
In short, the current situation is very strange.
Ever since this bulging Sun God appeared, the Crystal Storm stopped its continuous attacks and just kept circling around the New Mars.
Bai Yi didn't dare to take any more action. After all, he didn't dare to unilaterally break the peace that had been achieved with great difficulty, especially when he was completely at a disadvantage.
