Chapter 246: Reunion

Qi Yiming only felt a distortion in front of his eyes, and the stars around him disappeared in an instant.

The Xuefeng seemed to be traveling in a long pipe that could not be seen at the end at a glance. After a few minutes, a ray of light came from the end of the pipe.

The fleet of the Turing Republic, which was sent out from the battlefield, was quietly waiting in place at this time.

Most of them have not yet recovered from the joy of surviving the disaster, and some of them are not even clear about what happened.

So some people anxiously looked at the frigate responsible for sending the guidance signal that flew far away from them, and some people looked at the warship with confused eyes.

Suddenly, the space not far from the side of the frigate was violently distorted, and as the distortion range became larger and larger, a purple-red light emanated from its center.

In just a blink of an eye, the Xuefeng suddenly appeared next to the frigate.

Seeing that the Xuefeng super flagship appeared here intact, cheers rang out in the fleet.

Qi Yiming also breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

It was impossible for the Zerg to catch up with them in a short time after escaping more than 700 light years.

He quickly glanced at the information panel showing the warp engine. There were more than 1 ton of ether crystals left, but only a few kilograms.

Qi Yiming angrily called the scientific officer on the Xuefeng and asked him to go to the cabin where the warp engine was placed to see what the ether crystal was.

Then he looked at Jiang Bingsheng, who had not said a word since handing over the command of the super flagship: "What is Mr. Jiang going to do next?"

Jiang Bingsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Do we have any choice?"

"What about the families of your soldiers?"

"The warships in front of you are the entire combat power of the Turing Republic. In this case, it is still easy to find enough carrier spacecraft in the country." Jiang Bingsheng's meaning was very clear. He was going to take the soldiers back to rob.

At this time, he could not care about the lives of others.

Prioritize the survival rights of the immediate family members of the soldiers under his command. As for others who are capable, take some away. If they really can't take them away, they can't do anything.

Qi Yiming also expressed his understanding of Jiang Bingsheng's choice, but it was not as easy as he thought to implement his idea.

The most important thing is that it takes a lot of time to pick up people from various administrative stars.

At first, the administrative stars might be caught off guard by Jiang Bingsheng because of the lack of information, but over time, the news that Jiang Bingsheng and his men were defeated and robbed various transport spacecraft in the country would definitely spread.

At that time, it is inevitable that someone will take the soldiers' relatives as hostages...

Qi Yiming felt a headache when he thought of this, but fortunately these things were not the problems he had to face. As for how Jiang Bingsheng would deal with it, it was none of Qi Yiming's business.

So Qi Yiming continued to say to Jiang Bingsheng: "The evacuation fleet will be relatively slow because it cannot use the bridge jump. I hope you can bring the fleet to meet us before we completely leave the human territory."

Of course, Jiang Bingsheng successfully took over the command of the Turing Republic Fleet again with Qi Yiming's endorsement.

He was sent to another battleship by a small transport boat, and after a little reorganization, he immediately led the fleet to various administrative stars to pick up people.

Qi Yiming contacted the New Federation advance fleet through the deep space communicator and stayed there waiting to reunite with them.

During this period, Qi Yiming was most concerned about the ether crystals needed by the Xuefeng when it was folding.

Soon he got the analysis report submitted by the scientific officer.

The report was very long. Qi Yiming was not a professional and just glanced at the analysis report on ether crystals. Then he turned directly to the last page of the report, which contained the conclusion drawn by the scientific officer after observation.

Ether crystals are not artificially synthesized products, but a natural crystal rich in a large number of free particles.

Qi Yiming frowned as he looked at the report.

The inability to synthesize artificially means that there is no way to mass produce them. Where should he find such crystals? The report did not mention it, but only told Qi Yiming that further research was needed.

In desperation, Qi Yiming could only send a small transport ship to let the scientific officer take some samples to the headquarters of the New Federation Academy of Sciences located on the No. 1 spaceship to seek further help.

After arranging these things, Qi Yiming was in the mood to check the situation of the Xuefeng super flagship.

The overall situation of the Xuefeng is still optimistic. Except for some parts of the ship's hull that were penetrated by the outer armor during the battle with the Zerg, there is no major damage.

Although some secondary guns were corroded by the Zerg's acid solution, the weapons removed by the battleship due to the combination of other modules can be easily replaced.

As for the ship-borne warships, they can be easily replenished when they meet with the New Federation's advance fleet.

After inspecting the Xuefeng, Qi Yiming looked up in the direction of the Zerg.

He began to recall what the Zentraedian liaison officer had said to him.

Qi Yiming heard of the identity of "Guardian of Humanity" for the first time, and the liaison officer also said that they failed once thousands of years ago, and this time they would save the last spark of humanity even if they sacrificed themselves.

According to the time calculation, the failure thousands of years ago should be the fact that the former Human Federation was driven out of its homeland by the Zerg.

But as the guardian of humanity, would they really be willing to sacrifice themselves to save humanity? It doesn't make sense...

Qi Yiming shook his head and drove away the chaotic thoughts from his mind. In any case, the purpose of his trip was achieved.

Taking back the Federation Light was another step towards launching the war star.

Next, he only needed to keep searching along the predetermined route. Qi Yiming believed that one day he would find the war star and launch it.

As for the Zerg swarm that was likely to catch up, Qi Yiming could only take it one step at a time.

The Xuefeng rested in place for more than half a month before the advance fleet finally arrived.

When the captains of the advance fleet saw that the Xuefeng had turned into a super flagship after going out, they all looked extremely excited.

There was nothing more worthy of their happiness than the Xuefeng's combat power being improved again.

Since the new federation launched the evacuation plan, the captains of the advance fleet have fallen into extreme anxiety.

Most of these captains have been following Qi Yiming since he woke up. They have all seen real Zerg swarms in the former human federation, so this group of people can be said to be the group of people who have the clearest understanding of themselves so far.

They knew that with the current human combat power, they were no match for the Zerg, and there was no other choice for humans except to flee.

The Xuefeng's upgrade gave them great confidence, slightly alleviating the fear caused by their lack of firepower.

After all, they were all Qi Yiming's old subordinates, and they had to visit a new level of warship, so Qi Yiming did not refuse their requests.

Soon, the rumor that humans had a super battleship that could kill the Zerg Leviathan with one shot slowly spread among the evacuation fleet.
