Chapter 110: Strategy for Engineer No. 3

"What's going on? So mysterious..." Qi Yiming asked Qiao Shan, who had a strange aura.

"Mao Qiming and the Light of Human Purification have merged..." Qiao Shan said something that Qi Yiming didn't expect.

"How did you know? Is the news accurate?"

Qiao Shan nodded confidently: "I once saved the person who gave me this news, so the source of the news is very reliable."

Qi Yiming lowered his head and thought for a while before saying to Qiao Shan: "That's perfect. When we deal with Mao Qiming, we can kill this shitty assassination organization."

Qiao Shan shook his head and said: "This is not the point. The point is that they seem to have launched a plan against us."

"Isn't this normal?" Qi Yiming didn't seem to understand what Qiao Shan meant.

Qiao Shan continued: "Has there been any strange people entering the Awakener Galaxy recently?"

Qiao Shan asked this question, and with the addition of the Light of Human Purification, Qi Yiming suddenly thought of the scientific expedition team that came to the Awakener Galaxy not long ago.

He briefly told Qiao Shan about the situation of the scientific expedition team.

Qiao Shan was also a little unsure about the nature of this scientific expedition team. After all, judging from their daily activities, they were indeed conducting scientific investigations.

Both of them fell into a brief silence, and finally Qi Yiming spoke first.

"Forget it, let's put this aside for now. We are just about to try to get the Engineer Number. With the Engineer Number, even ten Mao Qimings may not be our opponents, let alone a killer organization."

"Have you found a way to deal with those drones?" Qiao Shan looked at Qi Yiming in surprise.

"I'm somewhat confident. Do you still remember the arc generator that we snatched back from the Zerg?"

Qiao Shan nodded.

"We have repaired it. The Xuefeng has loaded it into its own weapon system and is now in the Xuefeng's arsenal."

"Didn't you say that the thing couldn't be repaired for a while?"

Qi Yiming looked at Qiao Shan with a smile, and then roughly told him what happened during the time when Qiao Shan was away.

Qiao Shan became more and more excited as he listened. He didn't expect that when he went out, Qi Yiming actually led Gaia Star to take the most solid step.

So the two of them didn't say anything more. When Qiao Shan returned to the Azure, Qi Yiming led the fleet to the star system where the Engineer was found.

Although Qiao Shan and Wang Shuhua had heard Qi Yiming introduce the giant mobile ship in front of them, they were still amazed when they saw it with their own eyes.

Everyone was sighing, is this really a project that humans can complete?

With such a huge hull, it is a despairing number to imagine its engineering workload, but the former Human Federation still built it.

At this time, Qi Yiming looked at a group of bumpkins in the fleet communication channel with a proud look and said lightly: "This is just one of the many mobile docks of the former Human Federation. The Human Federation has built warships and even war stars that are bigger than this."

But Wang Sen's words directly killed the boastful Qi Yiming: "So awesome, but he is still chased around by the swarm of insects..."

Qi Yiming directly said that he didn't want to see Wang Sen's hateful face again in half a month.

A crowd of people joked and watched Qi Yiming's Xuefeng enter the 1,000-kilometer cordon of the Engineer.

Just like the first time they came, countless drones came alive the moment the Xuefeng crossed the cordon, quickly gathered together, and flew towards the Xuefeng.

At such a close distance, the Xuefeng had no extra maneuvering space at all, and was surrounded by a dense swarm of drones.

The drones' attack method was very simple, which was to use the two low-power laser generators mounted on their fuselages to continuously illuminate the outer armor of the Xuefeng.

Although the power of the laser generator was relatively low, it could not withstand the large number of drones.

For a time, the Xuefeng was surrounded by countless red lasers.

Qi Yiming looked at the rapidly decreasing value of the integrity of the outer armor in the bridge, and his heart was pounding.

The value dropped too fast. Even with the nanorobots produced in the Guardian repairing it non-stop, the armor integrity of the Xuefeng was still declining at a considerable rate.

Qi Yiming roughly estimated that under this attack intensity, Xuefeng would not last more than three minutes and would definitely be destroyed.

However, the charging time of the arc generator was only halfway through, so Qi Yiming had no choice but to order the navigator to drive Xuefeng back to a distance of one thousand kilometers.

Fortunately, Qi Yiming did not blindly fire at the drone swarm, so these drones stopped chasing after seeing Xuefeng retreat from the one thousand kilometer cordon and returned to flying around the Engineer again.

This time Qi Yiming learned his lesson and started charging the arc generator before entering the one thousand kilometer cordon of the Engineer again.

Seeing the drones gathered together again, Qi Yiming took a deep breath: "Weapon Captain, aim at the center of the drone swarm, arc generator...fire..."

The moment Qi Yiming gave the order, dozens of blue arcs intertwined and flew towards the drone swarm that was surrounding Xuefeng.

When dozens of blue arcs touched the first drone, they suddenly dispersed, and the fierce energy made the arcs quickly conduct among countless drones.

Slowly, dozens of arcs turned into hundreds, and then thousands. In the end, Qi Yiming didn't know how many arcs were split.

He only knew that the drone group in front of him was covered by a large net composed of arcs.

Then in an instant, countless blue arcs disappeared, and the drone group was still approaching the Xuefeng.

"Fuck... this doesn't work on them?" Qi Yiming's face suddenly became ugly.

Because he knew that the Engineer's drones would only drive away ships entering the alert range when they were on alert, and would not actively attack warships outside the cordon.

But if a warship actively attacks, the nature is different. The drone will launch a desperate charge against the actively attacking ship, the kind that will not stop until death.

Seeing that the arc generator had no effect on the drone swarm, Qi Yiming immediately shouted in the fleet channel: "Everyone, run... This time we have really stirred up a hornet's nest!"

But before he finished speaking, the drone swarm had a new change.

The explosion started from the center of the drone swarm, and then gradually spread to the outer circle of the drone swarm.

The flames of the explosion spread from the inside of the drone swarm to the outside layer by layer.

The spread speed was getting faster and faster. In less than half a minute, all the drones that had been covered by the large net split by more than a dozen arcs exploded from the inside, without any escape.

Qi Yiming was relieved, and the Xuefeng, which was originally preparing to run away, turned its bow again and headed towards the Engineer not far away.

But the next scene almost made Qi Yiming suffocate. He swore that he had never seen such a spectacular scene in his life.

And Qi Yiming also said to himself again in his heart: "After taking down the Engineer, I will carry forward the Engineer's drone swarm attack method no matter what."
