MTL - The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons-Chapter 21 Burn operation in copy

  Chapter 21 Burning operation in the dungeon

   It is about two million kilometers away from the battlefield, which is actually very close in space.

   Before approaching, I saw two battleships of the Imperial Expeditionary Force and three enemy battleships bombarding each other. One after another, dazzling neutron light spears penetrated the dark and cold void, lingering for a long time.

   In the middle of the five battleships on both sides, nearly two hundred large and small battleships were fighting fiercely.

   Every few minutes, there will be several dazzling light spears piercing through the void, and several warships will burst out with dazzling light of martyrdom.

  Li Qing observed from a distance for two minutes, and ordered the fleet to detour.

   He is not qualified to intervene in the battlefield of battleships. If someone sees that you are too jumpy and sends you two spears, wouldn't it be a sudden death on the spot.

  Walking tens of thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, Li Qing saw two destroyers dragging billowing smoke slowly floating forward in the void ahead. Li Qing immediately ordered the warships to approach and aim at the target for a round of shelling.

   After chasing back and forth for more than ten minutes, the two destroyers were sunk, earning 1 point.

  But just after it was sunk, before it had time to clean up the battlefield, suddenly the void in front of it twisted, and circles of energy ripples swayed, and the battleship suddenly sounded a dazzling alarm:

   "A large-scale fleet jump has been detected, please avoid it!"

   "Retreat."

  Li Qing ordered decisively, and the battleship had already turned around before him, and the reaction was very fast.

  Before he turned around and retreated less than 500 kilometers, the void in the distance twisted violently, and the turbulent energy tide exploded, and a large branch fleet led by 50 battleships jumped into the field.

   Waiting for the energy tide to surge into the distance, this large branch fleet split into two and sailed in different directions.

   "I'm going, why are you chasing me?"

  Most of them sailed to the five battleships not far away, but 20 battleships led about 500 small and medium warships to chase Li Qing.

   This is outrageous, he is only a destroyer and a frigate.

However, he soon discovered that this was his own self-indulgence. The target of this fleet was not himself, but was heading towards this side, and then turned halfway, and then split into two smaller fleets in the middle. Want to outflank that naval fleet from the other direction.

  Although the scale of the alien fleet is far larger than that of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, its weapons and equipment are not comparable, not only the average combat effectiveness, but also the speed. It is necessary to use some tactics to encircle and annihilate them.

  Li Qing immediately sent a warning message to the fleet of the Imperial Expeditionary Force at war in the distance, and then ordered the fleet to leave the battlefield.

   But the warning at this time was useless. At this time, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet headed by the two battleships had been at war with the opponent for so long, and it was not so easy to get out. After a short delay, several branch fleets had already completed the encirclement.

  Li Qing could only watch helplessly as the imperial fleet was surrounded by alien fleets dozens of times larger than his own. In the end, only a few fast destroyers escaped, and the two main battleships sank.

   "It's a pity, it would be nice if this was given to me."

  He clicked his tongue and left the battlefield.

   Next, instead of rushing to find enemies everywhere, they ordered the fleet to wander aimlessly in the galaxy and scout the galaxy.

   The battle situation in the dungeon is different every time, but the terrain in the galaxy is still the same. Anyway, the first time you enter the dungeon, you don’t expect much success. First scout the terrain clearly so that you can enter the dungeon next time.

It is worth mentioning that in such a large battlefield where hundreds of thousands of warships from both sides gathered, it is impossible to activate the hyperspace engine and enter the sub-light speed state. Any small fleet with battleships will have an intercepting force field, and sub-light speed points Minutes will be intercepted and surrounded by enemy ships.

  In addition, you can jump into the galaxy from the outside, but you cannot use the jump engine to leave the galaxy, unless you use the emergency jump to escape regardless of the consequences.

Emergency jump is a life-saving method used by warships when they are in a desperate situation. It does not require any target to activate the hyperspace engine in a very short time to force the jump to leave. Leap into the endless void between galaxies.

  Because the emergency jump will cause huge damage to the jump engine, the lower the level of the jump engine, the higher the probability of damage.

If you are trapped in the endless void between galaxies, you cannot repair the jump engine, and you can only fly at regular speeds. Think about the distance between galaxies in light years. If you fly at a regular speed for such a long distance, you have to fly Year of the Monkey?

  The distance of one light year is 9460.8 billion kilometers, even if the speed is 200,000 kilometers per hour, it will take 47.3 million hours, 1.97 million days, and 5400 years.

   That is to say, if you accidentally jump to the endless void and don't know how to repair the jump engine, you are basically dead.

   Therefore, under normal circumstances, when players recruit crew members, they will recruit a few crew members who can repair engines. If not, emergency jumps are simply prohibited.

  One death only means a five-year lifespan. If you die trapped in the endless void, it will be directly inferior to Q.

   Spent hours wandering around, wandering from one end to the other, changing direction and wandering in the direction of the stars.

  Anyway, the speed of the destroyer is already fast, and it has an additional 20% bonus of psyker skills. It is not that there is no faster than him in this dungeon, but it is definitely not on the side of the alien race with only three or four generations of technology.

Unknowingly, more than half of the 24 hours a day has passed, and Li Qing has also traveled an extremely long distance to the central region of the galaxy, and he can already see the huge bright yellow star and the two warring forces at the far edge of the star. Huge fleet.

   It is estimated that this is the main battlefield of this galaxy. Both sides have hundreds of battleships, thousands of large and small battleships, and the battlefield covers tens of millions of square kilometers.

   It was rare to see such a large-scale battlefield. Li Qing ordered the warship to stop at a very far place to watch the battle.

   "Warning, a large-scale fleet jump has been detected nearby, please avoid it!"

"leave."

  Li Qing was a little speechless, his luck seemed to be a bit bad today, and he landed twice at the transition point when his fleet entered the battlefield from outside.

  There is no way but to avoid it.

  But just less than 500 kilometers away, the warning sound of the combat system suddenly disappeared, and the thorny red light also turned into green light. The staff behind him whispered to him:

   "It is detected that the jump is about to be the frequency of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and it is a friendly army."

   "Keep going."

   The friendly army is not afraid, he is afraid that if the friendly army sees La Zhuangding forced into the team, it will be embarrassing.

   This kind of situation is not uncommon. A large fleet sees sporadic warships on the battlefield, and the metropolis will forcibly recruit them into the fleet. There is a high probability that he will be recruited as cannon fodder in a melee.

  With such a large fleet, the enemies they face will only be equally powerful. It is conceivable what the result will be in the front row of such a melee involving thousands of warships.

  However, the fleet hadn’t run far, when suddenly the bridge lit up with a dazzling red light again, and the subordinates reported that they detected that the induction force field was lit up in the void ahead, and that an enemy ship was about to jump into the field.

  Li Qing was dumbfounded at this moment, and he took a few seconds to react before decisively ordering the fleet to withdraw towards the star on the left.

   "I knew I wouldn't come here to watch the show."

   Obviously, this is one of the main battlefields of this galaxy battlefield, and both sides will have reinforcements from time to time, so it must be quite dangerous to observe here.

  In the middle of the journey, Li Qing subconsciously opened the universe channel in his palm, and a black circle appeared in front of the frigate behind him. He ordered the startled frigate to enter the channel and avoid it first.

  The speed of the frigate is far inferior to that of the destroyer. At this time, it is still dragging back.

   But when his subordinates entered the palm universe, Li Qing was stunned.

  He stretched out his right hand, grasped the claws back and forth before his eyes, and then separated them, with a look of surprise in his eyes:

   "The universe in my palm can also be opened in the dungeon?"

  Before, I never thought about opening the universe in the palm of my hand in the dungeon, otherwise I would not try it after entering the dungeon for more than ten hours. It was just a subconscious operation just now, and I only realized it when it succeeded.

  After being surprised, a strange look appeared in his eyes, he squeezed his beardless chin a few times, and muttered to himself:

   "If I can open the palm universe, can I do something with this?"

   "For example, if you open the palm universe and put some damaged and immovable warships into it, can you take it out?"

  When he thought of this, his mind became unusually active.

Just do what he wants, he rushes to the direction of the stars immediately, which is the direction of the battlefield. Both sides in the fierce battle before have sunk a large number of warships. At this time, they are slowly drifting towards the stars under the pull of the gravity of the stars. If there is no external interference, the debris will sink into the star and melt after a period of time.

But at this time the destroyer went straight into the battlefield, far away from the two sides in the melee, and came to a huge battleship wreck. With a thought, a huge black hole appeared in front of the battleship wreck, which was pulled by the gravity of the star and slid towards the star. The battleship wreckage It slides into the black hole like silk, and then blurs at a speed visible to the naked eye until it disappears into nothingness.

"no!"

  He could clearly feel that the wreckage of the battleship had completely disappeared, and there was nothing there, like air.

  This shows that the idea of ​​collecting a large amount of wreckage and melting it into various metal materials is not feasible, which casts a shadow on his heart, and his confidence in the next attempt drops sharply.

  The second attempt was very simple. He quietly approached the battlefield and used shelling to lure a cruiser from a distance. The reason why he didn't lure the destroyer was because he was afraid that the other party would not dare to come.

   Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed lightly, opening a black hole in front of the cruiser chasing at full speed.

   "Boom!"

Li Qing's eyelids trembled slightly, and he could clearly feel that the cruiser seemed to be connected to the whole world for a moment when it hit the universe channel in the palm, as if an unimaginable force acted on the universe in the palm, making him There was a slight tremor all over his body, but his super-high innate perception clearly felt that the copy space also seemed to tremble.

   "Well, neither."

  He spread his hands, indicating that the plan failed.

   It seems that cheating by this method will not work. Li Qing is a little disappointed, but not too disappointed. At least he knows this, so he doesn’t need to waste time trying it in the future.

  And through the attempt just now, he discovered a secret that he didn't know if it was a secret.

  When he used the universe in his palm to swallow the cruiser just now, he could sense the vibration of the entire copy space. Does this mean that if the universe in his palm is strong enough, he can shake the copy space, and even forcibly swallow the entire copy space in reverse?

   Or from another perspective, if you find a very small copy space now, and then open the palm universe in it, can you forcefully swallow it?

   Or in other words, is this dungeon space a space similar to the psionic world of subspace virtual world?

  And judging from the fact that the universe in the palm can continuously absorb virtual energy through the coordinates to restore the original source, does it mean that the original source can be restored by devouring the copy space?

  Li Qing rubbed his forehead, thinking that this idea is very interesting, if he has the opportunity, he can try more in the future.

   If you can find a way to quickly restore the origin of the universe in your palm, it will be great!

   "Well, this attempt is almost done, get ready to leave the instance!"

  He didn't miss it, and ordered the battleship to turn and sail towards the star, preparing to park the battleship on the surface of the star, and wait for 24 hours before the end of the copy.

  Although it is not very safe, but here is the center of the galaxy, and it is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and it is impossible to run to a safe place on the edge of the galaxy in the remaining few hours.

   If you are unlucky and bump into a large enemy force on the way, the risk is still very high.

  Two hours later, the destroyer came to a place only more than a thousand kilometers away from the surface of the star. The temperature here was already as high as three or four thousand degrees. Steel placed here would soon turn red and then melt.

  From the outside, the flames burning on the surface of the stars are like water, and the surface of the stars that can't be seen at a glance is like a boundless sea.

  The battleship is sailing on the surface of the star, ready to find a place to park.

  Just after crossing a huge vortex of flames, suddenly the lights in the spaceship turned red instantly, and a red-eared warning sounded:

   "Warning, a violent change in the energy of a nearby star has been detected, and it is predicted that there will be a stellar eruption in the nearby area. Please be prepared for it."

   "Damn, did you really go out today and didn't read the almanac? It's dangerous wherever you go."

   There is no need for him to give orders, the captain reacted immediately and ordered the warship to leave this area at an accelerated speed.

  However, the eruption area was larger than he had imagined. He saw that the surface of the stars within a radius of thousands of kilometers arched and erupted. In an instant, the sky and the earth were red, redder than the warning lights in the bridge.

   "Your Excellency Commander, it is too late to leave the eruption area."

  The captain's face was a little pale, and his voice was trembling.

  Stellar energy erupts, its power is second only to doomsday-class weapons, and this mere destroyer will undoubtedly die if it is sprayed.

  But Li Qing didn't panic, and even had time to reach out and pat him on the shoulder and said:

   "Don't panic, we won't die."

   As soon as the voice fell, everyone felt that the direction of the bridge was dark, and when they looked up, they saw that the red star surface outside the bridge had disappeared, replaced by a pitch-black void.

   At a critical moment, Li Qing directly opened the universe in the palm and put his ship into it, and then the infinite star ion energy poured into the universe in the palm along the channel.

  Li Qing subconsciously changed the angle of the passage, and then everyone saw an unforgettable scene.
