Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 317

This isn't a no-go, it's a recommendation for the gem of a book, "Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet":

Upon receiving the command from the flagship, almost all the robots stopped at the same time, but the pilot robot numbered JS047 hesitated for a moment and looked at the map on the wall of the passage.

He then evacuated along with all the robots.

In order to open an escape route for the boarding party, the support team disregarded the need to conserve ammunition and unleashed maximum firepower in an instant, successfully repelling the enemy's follow-up attack.

Subsequently, the support team took the initiative to leap out of their positions and launch a counterattack against the silicon-based organisms that had retreated to the back of the passage.

After completely repelling this group of silicon-based organisms, the support team abandoned its position and moved towards the enemy's main ship, Sector Z, to prepare for either holding the position or withdrawing.

The robot squad, having abandoned its concealment and prepared to retreat, was undoubtedly detected by the enemy, even though the silicon-based life form, acting as the captain, had discerned the robot squad's intention to withdraw.

To avoid causing further unnecessary damage, the silicon-based bio-captain did not issue an order to pursue and kill it. Instead, he ordered his guards and marines to focus on surrounding and driving it away, trying to expel it to a specific hangar without losing any personnel.

He then issued the order to abandon ship, instructing all non-essential silicon-based lifeforms to evacuate and escape in lifeboats towards Earth or the asteroid belt.

Immediately afterwards, he forcibly activated all the systems and sat back down in the captain's chair.

'Activate neural connections!'

[Connection initiated, buffer activated, countdown 1 minute 20 seconds]

"Adjust the buffer to the lowest intensity; set the nerve burnout safety line to five minutes."

[Settings modified complete. Countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Link complete.]

The humanoid silicon-based creature, left alone in the control room, let out a sharp screech, followed by an overdose of painkillers that blocked its pain receptors.

The silicon-based life form, completely integrated with the ship, began adjusting the energy allocation of various systems and controlling the ship's direction.

Faced with a barrage of heavy torpedoes, missiles, and mines, he decisively separated the ship from its hull, jettisoning the stern section containing the main propulsion system.

Next, the core area supplies energy to the backup propulsion units located on the outer perimeter of the midship hull, enabling the warship to maneuver more flexibly in space.

At the same time, the main guns, which were dispersed in the shape of antennas, also began to converge toward the central axis.

Because the enemy's main ship severed part of the ship's connection, a large amount of surplus energy was transferred to the depleted shield generator through the backup core and pipelines that had been repaired in an emergency. It survived the last round of barrage and began to recover rapidly.

The evacuating robot squad noticed this through the data link, but they did not receive any new orders and could only continue to evacuate to the hangar area according to the original instructions.

Outside the enemy's main ship, the special operations team that had just evacuated, along with the mech squadron, broke away from the enemy's abandoned hull and searched for a suitable opportunity to attack on the remaining 400-meter stretch of the ship's perimeter.

However, within the stern section of the ship that the enemy had deliberately jettisoned, there were still some valuable technical personnel. They silently entered the escape pods and controlled the stern section from within these special escape pods, using the broken pipes to spew out a torrent of energy, propelling this damaged section of the ship into the distance.

However, they underestimated Cleveland, which was only one step away from becoming an intelligent life form, because they did not use artificial intelligence often.

With abundant computing power, Cleveland quickly detected the unusual movements of the enemy ship.

The pursuit plan was proposed by Cleveland and implemented after being reviewed by Olivier and Lorraine.

Immediately afterwards, a stealth reconnaissance ship left its original position and silently followed behind the enemy ship, while the two frigates, No. 1001 and No. 1002, slowly adjusted their positions and moved towards the rear of the fleet without attracting the enemy's attention.

Once the enemy has completed its turn, the captain of the enemy flagship has fully adapted to the pressure brought by the mental connection and can fully utilize the remaining combat power of the ship.

At this point, the enemy's main gun also returned to the vicinity of the central axis, becoming an open main gun.

Due to the separation of the ship's hull, a large amount of energy needed to be released, and the enemy's main guns completed their energy storage exceptionally quickly, accumulating energy far exceeding that of the first shot fired at the start of the battle.

Faced with energy peaks far exceeding records, the Bifang aerospace carrier platform, which had remained hidden since the start of the war, began to maneuver.

Under Xu Yun's command, the Bifang aerospace carrier platform briefly stopped supplying power to its close-in weapon system, overloaded all of its thrusters, and quickly moved to the forefront of the fleet.

Then, using its own first-layer shield as the core, it connects with the other ships to form a huge and tough joint shield.

Immediately afterwards, the engines stopped, the observation radar shut down, the close-in weapon system was activated and integrated into the fleet's data link, and all remaining energy was supplied to the shield recharge system. At the same time, the second layer of shields was also ready to be activated.

Faced with the white wing-shaped hull that suddenly appeared in their field of vision and blocked the enemy flagship, the enemy captain remained unfazed and activated the main gun that had already been fully charged.

A torrent of turquoise energy shot out from the enemy's flagship and struck the azure-blue combined shield centered on the Bifang.

The sudden burst of light exceeded the warning line of the ship's optical observation equipment. The electrically controlled glass inside the transparent metal porthole instantly changed color, weakening the light that had already been filtered through multiple layers, reducing it to a level that the human eye could observe.

Wearing full power armor, Xu Yun narrowed his eyes, observing the ripples outside the combined shield.

"Shield team, report on the shield status."

"Energy is sufficient, shield capacity and recharge speed are normal, and the combined shield status is normal. It is expected to reach the critical state in 13 seconds. The energy intensity can be further weakened by actively detonating the shield."

"Get ready."

Xu Yun stood up from the captain's chair and stood at the front of the cockpit, raising his right hand high, ready to issue the demolition order at any time.

"Captain, the enemy's energy fluctuations are decreasing, and the recharge rate is about to match the consumption rate."

"Prepare to deactivate the combined shield and switch to the second shield."

"Captain, main gun charging complete."

"Wait for firing order."

The moment the combined shield dissipated, the auxiliary nozzles below the flagship activated at full power, propelling the flagship rapidly up from behind the Bifang spacecraft platform.

"Fire."

At the same time the flagship gave the order, all ships opened fire, bombarding the circular shields at the bow of the enemy ships and creating waves.

[The attack was effective; the enemy's energy recharge rate has increased to 135%.]

"Each ship has this; free fire."

At the same time, four large cannons separated from the enemy ship, trailing pale blue flames, hovering within the shield's coverage area, and fired together at the heavy frigate No. 1003.
