Chapter 58 Azure
There is no difference between early and late in the free airport. After the fleet stayed in the airport for 24 hours, everyone hurried back to their respective warships.
Qi Yiming made a brief mobilization in the fleet channel. The ships left the port one after another. After completing the formation, they entered the jump mode at the same time under the guidance of the Xuefeng.
Half an hour later, the fleet appeared in front of the jump bridge leading to the ancestral star field at the northwest border of the Wanluo Empire.
Qi Yiming took a deep breath and ordered each ship to activate the jump bridge in turn.
This time, the Xuefeng consumed two energy blocks to activate the jump bridge. Before using the jump bridge, the consumption of the Xuefeng had never exceeded half a block, which shows how far this journey was.
The entire fleet sailed in the jump mode for 7 days before finally reaching the border galaxy of the ancestral star field. The number on the star map is X-113.
Qi Yiming did not rush to the location point, but turned on all types of detection radars on the Xuefeng and conducted a detailed scan of X-113.
Even two scanning probes were released, and several points with obvious anomalies were specially investigated.
"Brother Qi, what are you waiting for? Go directly to the location point!!" Looking at the Xuefeng releasing the scanning probe on the spot, Xu Ruifeng kept urging, "What's there to worry about with such a perverted Xuefeng?"
Before Qi Yiming could speak, Ye Lu said first: "Don't make trouble, it's better to be safe than sorry, Yiming is right to be cautious."
"Brother Wang, tell me, what kind of enemy can there be in this broken place?" Xu Ruifeng was a little unconvinced and pulled out Wang Shuhua.
Wang Shuhua replied coldly: "Shut up..."
Qi Yiming didn't say a word throughout the whole process and ignored Xu Ruifeng directly.
Seeing that no one supported his proposal, Xu Ruifeng had to stop, and the fleet channel suddenly became quiet.
The results of the investigation made Qi Yiming feel a lot more relaxed. The abnormal points were all signal anomalies caused by some rare physical phenomena, and there were no expected enemies.
After confirming the safety of the galaxy, the fleet set sail again.
The distance from the mark point in Qi Yiming's hand to the X-113 galaxy still requires 12 full-power jumps by the warship, and the whole process will take about 2 days.
In the following jumps, Qi Yiming did the same as in the X-113 galaxy, and only ordered the fleet to continue moving forward after a detailed intelligence investigation.
Two days later, the fleet arrived at the X-107 galaxy, the mark point on the star map.
This is a single star system with two earth-like planets in the habitable zone. Intelligence shows that there is an ancient warship on the earth-like planet close to the star.
Qi Yiming still led the fleet to jump over the planet after sufficient investigation.
This is a dark green earth-like planet, and the surface of the planet is covered with green plants, covering the entire continent.
Just as Qi Yiming ordered the Xuefeng to lower its orbit and carefully investigate the surface of the planet, a frigate on the back of the planet suddenly burst out of the atmosphere and quickly flew towards the border of the X-107 galaxy.
"Received the identification code from Azure..." The shipboard intelligent brain of Xuefeng received the identification code sent by the warship at the first time.
"Fuck... someone got there first!" Qi Yiming slapped the armrest of the captain's chair fiercely.
"What did I say along the way? We should move forward boldly. No one listened to you. Now someone else got there first!" Xu Ruifeng said sarcastically in the fleet channel.
"Shut up. No one thinks you are dumb!" Ye Lu rarely raised her voice to scold Xu Ruifeng.
"Chase?" Wang Shuhua, who was as steady as a rock, ignored Xu Ruifeng again and said to Qi Yiming.
"Chase..." Qi Yiming thought about it and finally decided to catch up, letting the other three stay where they were to protect the three transport ships in the fleet.
Qi Yiming was thinking along the way: "Who activated the Azure? Did he meet another awakener? Why did he run away when he saw the Snow Peak?"
Since the Snow Peak has a sufficient energy supply, the charging speed of the jump is much faster than that of the Azure.
After only two full-power jumps, the Azure was caught up by the Snow Peak.
The Azure also found that it could not get rid of the Snow Peak behind it, so it stopped.
Qi Yiming was delighted and quickly asked the communications director to connect with the Azure.
A person who wrapped himself tightly appeared on the communication screen.
"Who are you? How do you have the power to start the Azure?" Qi Yiming looked at the person on the screen and thought it was He Yong who did not board the ship.
But after careful observation, he was sure that the person was not He Yong.
"Awakener?" The mysterious man did not answer Qi Yiming's question, but asked Qi Yiming instead.
Qi Yiming knew that the identity of the awakener was a potential threat to him and could not be revealed easily, so he hesitated.
But just as he hesitated, the mysterious man turned off the communicator without saying a word.
"Warning, the Azure's fire control radar is detected to be turned on and is locking onto our ship..." Before Qi Yiming could react to what happened, the Azure suddenly locked onto the Xuefeng and opened fire.
Then a light blue energy shield rose around the Azure, close to the ship's hull.
The Azure is also a destroyer. After only one round of attack on the Xuefeng, the armor was penetrated in many places. The injury monitor showed that the armor integrity of the Xuefeng was 72%, which was a full 28 percentage points lower.
"Warning, the Azure is suspected of defection... This ship will autonomously bypass the enemy identification system, please pay attention, commander..." The shipboard intelligent brain automatically classified the Azure as an enemy ship after the Xuefeng was attacked.
On the battlefield situation map, the friendly ship Azure, which was originally represented by a green warship model, turned into a dazzling red in the next second.
Qi Yiming subconsciously activated the Guardian, the subsystem of the Xuefeng, and began to repair the hull.
With the Guardian subsystem, the Xuefeng is not afraid of the Azure.
As a destroyer equipped with a shield generator, most of the energy of the Azure is supplied to the shield generator that occupies almost half of the space of the warship.
Therefore, the attack strength of the Azure's main gun is not strong, but it still knocks off 28% of the armor value.
Qi Yiming refused to attack the Azure, after all, it was a modular battleship.
But Qi Yiming knew that even if he got the Azure, the Xuefeng would not be able to combine with it.
In fact, the modular battleships in the strategic strike fleet have two systems.
One system is armor protection, and the other is energy shield.
The final form of both systems is a battleship, but the two battleships can be combined.
When the two battleships are combined, there will be a super battleship with first-class armor protection and energy shield.
Since the captain of the Azure did not want to communicate with Qi Yiming, Qi Yiming was no longer polite and would rather sink the Azure than let the other party get the battleship.
After the Xuefeng fire control radar locked the Azure, Qi Yiming resolutely issued the order to shoot.
The eighteen burst lasers fired by the three main guns accurately hit the Azure.
However, the Xuefeng, which had been fighting like chopping melons and vegetables, was unable to kill the enemy with a single salvo this time.
The bursting laser only caused ripples on the surface of the Azure, and the blue energy shield of the Azure only became slightly lighter in color, and the ship did not suffer any damage.
Happy New Year to everyone, and may you make a fortune and have good luck in the coming year!
