He wanted to close his eyes and lie down to sleep, but reason finally defeated his instinct. He tried his best to relax his body and sit in the corner, holding a glass of warm water in his hand and chewing food bit by bit in his mouth. He needed to regain his strength as quickly as possible. The firelight that lit up from time to time outside the window reflected Yang Ming's somewhat haggard face.
"My mommy, this place is really not a place for people to stay." Shojuan from across the street cursed. Shojuan was also a maintenance technician. Because of his thin body and curly hair, everyone called him Shojuan.
Yang Ming grinned with difficulty to show his agreement with Shojuan's words. He sipped the hot water in small sips. No, he didn't want to talk, his throat was really dry and unbearable.
The hull shook for a while, and the water in the water cup in Yang Ming's hand spilled out and splashed on the boat.
Yang Minghe and Shojuan looked at each other, and both of them understood that the ship's hull had been hit by a large rock again. And the window suddenly lit up again, and a brilliant spark bloomed in the dark space.
Yang Ming was a little stunned. What a scene he saw in the light that formed when the spaceship exploded!
Chaos, everything is so chaotic! Rocks of different sizes were flying around everywhere, and they violently collided with any objects, spaceships, and other rocks that blocked them. The formation of the fleet can only be barely maintained, and the endless rocks are making disorderly movements that people cannot understand.
Compared with the current embarrassment, everyone was so calm the last time they encountered the red-tailed beast.
The flames from the explosion of the spaceship have not faded yet. Reflecting Yang Ming's young but childish face, his expression was a bit complicated, including sadness, worry, fear, and memories...
Did the exploding spaceship foretell the same fate for them
Suddenly, Mr. Jie's calm but firm voice and that unusually certain answer flashed through Yang Ming's mind.
"The B3 area of the hull has been hit. The B3 area of the hull has been hit. Maintenance personnel are requested to go immediately. Maintenance personnel are requested to go immediately." The rapid siren interrupted Yang Ming's thoughts.
"Hey, your ass is still hot, and this matter is coming to your door." Shojuan grinned at Yang Ming, showing his two yellow front teeth, turned around and walked towards the B3 area. Yang Ming, who was following him, could clearly see his empty steps.
Ye Chong's expression was not very good. This was the first time for many crew members of the Harshgar to see Mr. Jie's expression so ugly. From this, one can imagine how much difficulty they encountered.
Shang anxiously reminded Ye Chong: "Ye Zi, the instability index here is rising sharply!"
In fact, there was no need for Shang to remind Ye Chong that the situation had become quite bad. The number of exploding spaceships has exceeded twenty-five so far. Long before entering the Death Broken Star Belt. Ye Zhong transferred the personnel from the two hundred ships on the periphery to the three hundred spaceships protected in the middle. Even the Hashgar is now crowded with people. The two outer spaceships each have only a minimum of twenty staff members. Two hundred ship hulls form three layers of thick protective rings, and their mission is to protect the inner spaceships. There are a total of 4,000 people on these two hundred spaceships, and all of these 4,000 people have voluntarily declared their places.
At the beginning, Ye Chong also had a headache over the quota of four thousand people. Everyone knew what the mission of these two hundred spaceships was.
Shang proposed to him to announce the decision and let the crew members apply on their own.
Ye Chong accepted Shang Di's suggestion. However, what he didn't expect was that on the third day after the announcement, the number of applicants had exceeded 30,000. With the help of Shadi. Ye Chong finally selected these 4,000 people from among 30,000 people.
The explosion of twenty-five spaceships means that 500 of the 4,000 people have died.
However, the impact of these spaceship explosions goes far beyond that. The shock wave caused by the explosion of the spaceship caused the instability index in this area to rise sharply. The instability index is directly related to whether a gravel vortex will be formed. The higher the instability index, the more likely it is that a gravel vortex will form.
Every time a spaceship explodes, not only do they lose part of their power, but it also means that the gravel vortex is one step closer to them. If the number of spaceships in the explosion area cannot be effectively reduced, the most likely outcome of facing them is the complete annihilation of the entire army. Ye Chong gritted his teeth. The strength he originally wanted to keep at the end had to be released first. After sorting out his thoughts, he gave the order carefully and clearly: "Order, the combatants of Group A are ready to attack!"
The captain's room of the Harshgar immediately became busy, and this order was transmitted to every spaceship carrying teachers as quickly as possible. Fortunately, no spaceship carrying Shishi has exploded so far.
Ten spaceships carrying teachers immediately adjusted their positions, and each passage door opened at the same time.
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
…
Within five seconds. Countless urgent orders were issued at once, and the masters, who were already ready to go, drove their light armors and rushed from the passage of the spaceship to the vast sea of stones.
Within one minute, the entire Group A, consisting of 1,200 D-6s, had all completed their sortie.
Three light armors form a group, and one thousand, two hundred light armors form a group of 400. They are like a group of small fish swimming around the fleet. In such an environment, light armor is much more flexible than spaceships. The order Ye Zhong gave them was to try to slow down the rocks or crush them, but they should pay attention to protecting themselves. The investment of 1,200 light armors immediately improved the situation significantly. These light armors are dexterous, and they are like putting a net on the fleet, which greatly reduces the pressure on the fleet.
But for those teachers, it is not so easy. Their attention needs to be highly concentrated. There are so many rocks here that even though they are well trained, they still find it extremely difficult. The environment is extremely complex, and you never know which direction the rock will come from. If you are not careful, it will smash you into pieces like a sledgehammer. You need to pay attention in every direction, and you can't slack off because you won't get another chance.
Ye Chong was the first to discover this problem. He always has amazing intuition and sensitivity in combat, and even Mu Shang is far inferior to him in this aspect.
"Each team relies on the spaceship and pays attention to coordination with each other."
No one asked anything about Ye Chong's orders, everyone would resolutely execute them immediately. The light armor, which was originally somewhat aimless, was quickly recovered. They relied on the fleet and relied on the fleet. They only attacked like lightning when the rocks were approaching the fleet.
The local team will cling to the rock and then use the power of the engine to pull the rock aside. The local team will use light armor to hit the side of the rock like a billiard ball, thereby knocking the rock away. Some groups will not hesitate to use weapons to smash the rocks flying towards them. Fortunately, the place they were driving was D-6, where the scientific research team produced it.
Ye Zhongdi's adjustment was very effective and the situation quickly stabilized.
After the initial panic, the cooperation between the teachers and soldiers became more and more tacit. With the support of the spaceship, they don't need to worry about rocks appearing behind them. The mutual trust between them greatly reduces the area they need to defend. The most important thing is that once a large rock is discovered, they will lock on the rock as soon as possible and then hand over the target to the battleship, which greatly increases the efficiency of the battleship.
It's a pity that there is no long-range light armor, otherwise they would not be so passive. Only those large rocks can cause real damage to the spaceship. And if they had enough long-range firepower, they could smash all the large rocks close to them, and they wouldn't be so embarrassed.
However, due to the red-tailed beast, Ye Zhong always chose melee light armor for the first time, and almost all the masters were trained by him as melee masters. Although a single unit of arms will exert great power at certain specific times, it will also fall into passivity in other environments. Ye Zhong never thought that he would enter the Death Star Belt again, let alone that he would lead such a miscellaneous fleet into such a dangerous place. This also illustrates the point that no matter how powerful your computing power is, it is impossible to include everything in your calculations. There are always too many unpredictable factors in this world. It is precisely because of these unpredictable factors that the world is full of unknowns and full of charm.
But Ye Zhong's expression was still solemn. No one on the crew of the Hashgar dared to relax at all. Although Mr. Jie's expression rarely changes, everyone can see his seriousness at this time.
Although the situation has been stabilized, Ye Chong is not so optimistic. In his plan, the investment of light armor was originally planned to be in the third world. Based on his experience, Yinku found that the deeper into the broken star belt, the denser and more dangerous the flying rocks became. I didn't expect that I would have to use this trick today.
While Ye Zhong was worried about the danger tomorrow, the situation in the Gray Valley changed surprisingly.
Near the star of Cassente, a small group of light armor teams were conducting routine patrols.
I heard that red-tailed beasts have appeared in the area near Casente, and their mission is to monitor this nearby area.
"Oh my god! Then... what is that?" One of the teachers screamed in horror in the communication channel.
Everyone's eyes quickly turned to the holographic screen, and everyone's scalps suddenly exploded.
Boundless, densely packed red-tailed beasts are flying towards this side. Through the holographic screen, they can see clearly. The body is almost as huge as the light armor, with black skin with metallic luster, strong and explosive muscles, and bright red arrow tails hanging naturally behind him. The indifference and solemnity in the dark red eyes was so heart-stopping.
"Run!" Someone among the crowd shouted, waking up the shocked people. Everyone hurriedly drove their mechs to flee at full speed.
One of the more conscientious masters did not forget to transmit this image back to Cassente during the escape process.
