Chapter 94 At This Time, the Armor-Breaking Class Is Still on the Way
The situation is serious.
Chen Ming took off his gauntlet without much hesitation and pressed it against the wall behind him.
[New spaceship signal detected, whether to change the brain control signal connection]
[Number of currently connected spaceships: 2/2]
Chen Ming is currently directly connected to a Centurion-class spaceship on the battlefield and an Armor-piercing-class spaceship on its way.
As for the Iron Ore, which has been hiding behind the Cowherd, Chen Ming has stopped controlling it from the moment the battle began. Anyway, the Cowherd will basically not move, and the Iron Ore is safe there.
So in this situation, Chen Ming can only disconnect the Armor-piercing-class connection first and let it continue to fly to the space station according to the previous autopilot system.
At the same time, let the Centurion start to retreat from the edge of the battle line and be ready to transfer the control of the Centurion to the Armor-piercing-class at any time.
There was no time to wait too long, and Chen Ming silently said in his heart: "Change."
For a moment, Chen Ming's mind suddenly became dazed.
Then, there was nothing else, and the negative impact of controlling this Cowherd was just that.
It was not as painful as Chen Ming expected when he broke through from the frigate to the destroyer when he controlled the refraction. It was just like doing a normal thing.
However, Chen Ming still found that the number of currently connected spaceships on the panel had become 2/3. It seemed that controlling the new spaceship still consumed his mental power, otherwise his psychic power would not have increased accordingly.
Chen Ming put the Centurion back online to support the fleet at the edge of the battle line.
Then he opened the panel of the Cowherd.
A panel that almost completely occupied his entire field of vision immediately popped up.
However, Chen Ming did not have time to check the specific values of the panel in detail.
He could only quickly scan the most critical content on the panel for the spacecraft.
Radiation, armor, weapons and aircraft unique to aircraft carriers.
The radiation capacity of the Cowherd is currently 2159/6000, which is in a fairly good state.
After all, the weapons of the Cowherd are mostly missile weapons that will not increase the radiation capacity, so all its radiation capacity can basically be used for pure shield protection, and the radiation state is naturally better.
The shield has not been broken, so the armor will naturally not be damaged.
Therefore, there is no problem with the armor of the Cowherd.
However, there are some problems with the weapons.
The panel of the Cowherd shows more than a dozen rows of missile mounting points located in different positions of the ship, and these mounting points have already experienced insufficient supply of ammunition.
All the missile mounting points on the Cowherd are used by the Annihilator missile.
At the beginning of the battle, a large number of missiles were directly launched without considering the loss.
Even if Chen Ming found a missile production workshop on the Cowherd, it is too late to supply the launch needs of the mounting points.
However, Chen Ming's ability is used in such places.
The warehouse next to the production workshop has a large number of semi-finished products for missile production that are easy to store, and the materials are sufficient.
Chen Ming's maintenance ability allows him to load bullets into weapons. Whether it is ordinary metal projectiles or complex missiles, as long as there are materials, they can be directly loaded.
However, Chen Ming did not rush to start.
There is another thing that needs his attention.
The fighter planes of the Cowherd.
[Flight Deck (First Floor): 39/80 (16)]
This is a line of information related to fighter planes displayed on the panel. There are three other lines with similar contents.
Each of these four lines represents a flight deck of the Cowherd.
The first number in the specific content refers to the number of fighter planes currently docked on the flight deck.
The second number is the upper limit of the number of fighter planes that each deck can carry.
The third number is the number of fighter planes currently engaged in diplomatic warfare.
The overall data is basically the same.
Chen Ming can be sure that the Cowherd must have prepared enough fighter planes before departure.
The missing number on the panel means that the fighter squadrons on each deck have suffered nearly one-third of combat losses.
Chen Ming can't help the spacecraft outside now, and the panel can't affect those fighters.
But for those fighters parked on the deck that have not yet set off, or have been damaged and are returning to the air, he can still do something.
After determining where his ability is needed, Chen Ming immediately pressed the repair button on the panel.
Just a dozen seconds after he did this.
A noise suddenly came from the captain's communication channel.
A voice said in an extremely nervous and hasty voice: "Captain, all the fighters on the deck were suddenly repaired by metal liquid that came out of nowhere! And those liquids are automatically reconstructing the lost fighters. What the hell is going on?"
Chen Ming was very close to the captain, so he naturally heard the voice of the communication channel.
He was actually quite surprised that the panel could not only repair damaged fighters, but even repair the lost spacecraft.
This ability to replenish fighters can always replenish the fighters on the deck to the upper limit of the flight deck.
Of course, this is counting the fighters that are still fighting outside and have not yet returned.
It can only be said that Chen Ming always feels that the repair function that he had on this panel at the beginning is the ability that can only be explained by metaphysics.
He does not need to master the information of the things that need to be repaired, and he does not need to master the repair technology. As long as the things to be repaired are on the spacecraft and there are enough materials, Chen Ming dares to repair it.
It is completely different from the transformation that Chen Ming must master the relevant technology himself, which is quite outrageous.
And not only the flight deck, but also information from other places has been coming one after another.
"Captain! A large amount of metal liquid has flowed into the launch point from the missile mounting point to form an annihilator missile. Should we continue to launch?"
"Captain, there is an accident with the materials in the ship's warehouse. All the semi-finished missiles in stock have melted and penetrated the wall of the ship and flowed out directly!"
"The warehouse next to the deck is the same. All the fighter parts and the reserve fighters that have not been debugged have the same situation!"
Several messages from different departments appeared here at the same time.
The captain immediately looked at Chen Ming next to him.
"Mr. Chen?"
Chen Ming nodded.
After estimating that his mental strength was enough to support the scale of consumption just now, he said: "Please arrange a shuttle for me."
"At the same time, let all the destroyer-level ships rotate closer. I need to contact other ships."
The captain took a deep breath, forced himself to accept this unimaginable situation, and bowed slightly to Chen Ming and said: "I will arrange it for you right away."
Chen Ming's idea is very simple.
His ability can quickly switch between the ships he controls.
Then as long as he controls all the company's spaceships, and when a spaceship has a problem, he can switch control to it and repair it in the first time.
Relying on the powerful ability of the panel, a layer of spiritual energy protection is provided for all spaceships.
In short, there are four words, quick cut and quick repair.
Moreover, the consumption of repairing spaceships is not much for Chen Ming now.
Chen Ming has been consuming mental power for repair and transformation work for some time. At the same time, he is also exercising with whispering stones and nonsense stones, which is very effective in improving his mental power.
In addition, Chen Ming has rested for more than ten hours waiting in the lounge before, so it should not be a problem to support another battle.
However, Chen Ming is also self-aware, and he doesn't really think about controlling all spaceships.
Just controlling all the destroyers of the fleet for repair is almost the limit of his current mental power.
While the captain arranged a shuttle for Chen Ming.
The cowherd once again poured tons of annihilator missiles in the direction of the military fleet.
And almost every moment after that, the highest level of firepower output was maintained.
Like an endless sea of missiles, coupled with the organized fighter planes that seemed to be always filling the front line, the situation on the battlefield suddenly became a little skewed because of this.
At the same time, on the side of the military fleet.
There was a ship that fell at the back of the front line and did not directly participate in the battle.
This is a law enforcement destroyer with a special orange-red paint job. From the appearance, it can be seen that it has definitely undergone a lot of special modifications.
And on the top armor of this law enforcement ship, there is also an orange-red eagle-shaped logo, and there is a "XIV" mark below the logo.
In the command room of this military flagship.
The commander of this battle is sitting behind the main control panel of the spacecraft.
The commander looks very young and wears a well-fitting military uniform, but his uniform is different from that of other soldiers. There is an eagle-shaped logo on the left chest that is the same as the top of the spacecraft.
At this time, he was looking at the real-time data uploaded from the front line, analyzing the situation on the battlefield, and issuing the most appropriate orders based on it.
However, his expression was still the same as before, with a calm look.
But he had some doubts in his heart.
Because the data transmitted back was a little wrong.
The commander had a very deep understanding of most of the ships that might appear on the battlefield.
The impression of a special ship like the Cowherd was even deeper, and at the moment, the Cowherd had obviously exerted its capabilities far beyond what it should have.
The first thought that came to the commander's mind was that the Cowherd chose to overload and equip the ship's weapons for combat effectiveness.
But doing so would usually easily lead to some non-combat problems on the spacecraft.
Even if it can have strong combat effectiveness in the short term, it will definitely not last long.
Therefore, he did not have any special emotions due to the sudden outbreak of the Cowherd.
Instead, he continued to command with a calmer mind.
Even if the Cowherd could exert actual combat power far beyond normal conditions, even if the Cowherd itself was a very powerful ship among destroyer-class ships.
But it was just a ship, and it would definitely not make a big wave in a battlefield with more than a hundred ships.
Moreover, the commander did not believe that the war reserve materials on the Cowherd were unlimited.
No matter how many fighter planes and missiles there were, as long as there were restrictions, he could handle them all.
From the beginning of the battle, even during the period when there was no advantage in the number of warships, the commander could rely on his command technology to firmly grasp the situation in his hands.
So, he had such confidence.
The commander's precise command was transmitted to every military ship on the battlefield through the fleet communication channel, and suddenly brought greater suppression to the company's fleet than before.
But the problem immediately appeared again.
The commander could keenly perceive from the changes in the battle situation that more company ships had the same situation as the cowherd, and suddenly exerted combat capabilities far beyond the normal combat power limit of the ship.
So many local battles that should have been advantageous under his planning turned out to be unexpected.
The situation that should have relied on his dispatch to gain advantages in the exchange of small-scale combat power radiation energy on the battlefield and force the opponent to shrink the front line suddenly changed.
There was a situation where the firepower was not enough to defeat the enemy's shield, but instead caused the ship executing the order to fall into danger.
Although this did not happen at the same time, some ships in some places did achieve some results under his command.
But the places that had just achieved results would be immediately compensated by the company ships whose combat power suddenly increased.
The commander felt that every company ship could achieve several times more radiation energy capacity and firepower output than normal ships.
Whether it was live ammunition, missiles, or energy weapons, they were all like unlimited, constantly counterattacking military ships.
Even their shields could last longer than normal.
It was as if the entire ship was refreshed when it was about to reach its limit.
The commander's experience had a problem.
But he did not panic, but threw away all the past experience in his mind.
He slowed down the offensive to oppress the company's fleet and began to re-examine the company's fleet.
By checking the real-time situation of many small-scale battles that constitute a large battlefield, the commander discovered some situations.
He found that not all ships in the company's fleet would have capabilities far beyond normal conditions, but only destroyer-level ships would have such special performance.
And another feature was also caught by him, that is, all ships with far more combat power than their own upper limit only had such performance after approaching the cowherd.
Did the cowherd prepare a lot of combat supplies to replenish other ships?
No.
The commander immediately denied his idea.
Because he found more situations.
According to the results of the sensor scan, next to the cowherd, there was a small shuttle used for small-scale personnel transfer between ships, parked there.
And every spaceship approaching the cattle herder is not approaching the cattle herder, but approaching the shuttle.
Only when the destroyer that has come into contact with the shuttle returns to the front line of the battlefield will it exert a more terrifying combat capability.
"Could it be..."
The commander had an immature guess in his mind.
He immediately called his deputy, and while commanding the fleet, he said with two minds: "This time, in addition to patrolling and inspecting the areas where Yuhui ships have appeared many times, is there another thing to do? Track down a wanted criminal?"
The deputy immediately gave him an answer: "Yes, this person is called Chen Ming, and he is most likely in the fleet of Xinda Company."
"Chen Ming... What about his intelligence?"
The deputy immediately found the intelligence sorted out by the military at the military outpost and began to dictate it to the commander who had no time to read the intelligence himself.
"Chen Ming, a senior maintenance engineer at the head office of Sinda Rockwell Corporation, later became the senior maintenance engineer team leader of Sinda Corporation's mining subsidiary, and performed cryo-hibernation missions at the DG-C-9527 mining station."
"In April 5569 AD, he colluded with pirates to release large-scale biological hazards at the mining station. This intelligence was confirmed yesterday and a related wanted notice was issued."
The commander did not hear the next words from his deputy and asked, "Nothing else?"
"The outpost basically gave some identity resumes, with no special content."
"No? What about his family background?"
"Orphan."
"Then what is his reason for doing this?"
"It is not known yet."
The commander's expression changed rarely, and he said, "A man who was obviously doing field work to seek promotion suddenly colluded with pirates to release large-scale biological hazards where he worked?"
"I remember that the military here blocked the galaxy for thirty years, but failed to find the people who had been staying in the galaxy?"
"Instead, the victim of a space station, the Sinda Company, found him as the 'culprit', and then sent an escort fleet to pick him up?"
"Are you kidding?"
The commander said, and the frequency of the fleet under his command slowed down again.
He took the terminal from his deputy and retrieved several files from the military.
At the same time, he also retrieved some additional information investigated by his men.
After confirming these things, the commander suddenly sneered and said, "Hehe, Sinda's mining rights, Sinda's mining space station, people who escaped from the space station, and the output of sky steel belonging to the military."
"Why didn't I pay attention to this issue when I participated in the mission before,"
The deputy next to him wanted to say that because you had been holding it in for too long, your mind was full of fighting with Yu Hui, and you took the initiative to ask for this task of reviewing the places where Yu Hui frequently appeared without thinking, and you didn't care about the stationmaster's face at all, but he didn't dare to say it in the end.
The commander suddenly put down the terminal and looked at the deputy and said, "Where are the ships that were said to have misfired weapons just now? Give me their list, you know what I want."
The deputy nodded, and after leaving for a while, he immediately returned to the command room.
He handed a piece of paper and a list of personnel to the commander.
The commander quickly checked and said expressionlessly: "They are all the stationmaster's cronies. Are they using me as a pawn? Are the soldiers here rotten?"
"So what do you think..."
The commander waved his hand and said: "It's okay, let's continue fighting."
Although the stationmaster suspected that he was using him as a pawn, he had nothing to do in this remote corner of the star field. Commanding the fleet to fight was his favorite thing.
And the target of the battle might be a psychic.
The commander had never heard of any psychic in Sinda Company who could enhance the ability of the spacecraft, or he had never heard of any psychic with such ability.
There were senior executives in Sinda Company sent by the military, and the information about psychics could not be completely concealed from the military, so the psychic on the shuttle must be a newly awakened psychic who had just joined the company.
And Sinda Company sent the highest-level fleet that could be organized in a short period of time to pick up Chen Ming, which simply made Chen Ming's importance clear.
At the same time, the commander did not believe that a person who traveled half a light-year from a space station full of biological hazards on a damaged spaceship that did not even have a hyperspace channel system and returned to the pirate space station alive would be an ordinary person.
Once the current situations are combined, it is easy to guess that Chen Ming is a psychic.
The commander can even guess the general situation directly.
The military dropped biological weapons on the space station for the benefit of Sky Steel, and then Chen Ming just escaped in the cryogenic hibernation chamber.
Thirty years later, Chen Ming woke up and awakened the psychic power of spaceship control on the dangerous space station, and then relied on the damaged spaceship to return to the pirate space station.
And contacted the Sinda Company to prepare to counterattack the military.
At this juncture, the military discovered Chen Ming's existence and prepared to deal with this threat.
Although the commander himself did not have the slightest good impression of the dirty things done by the military at the military outpost, he had a certain appreciation for Chen Ming, who returned to the human world from an extremely dangerous environment.
But the battle has already begun, and it is a confrontation between the psychic talent of the psychic and the command skills he learned later in life.
He doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
Anyway, he will not reveal the news that Chen Ming is likely to be a psychic.
The information provided by the military outpost does not show any signs of this at all, which means that the military investigation here is not comprehensive enough, and he does not need to help others clean up their mess.
And if he really wins in the end, he will definitely not deliberately kill people, but will find a way to get Chen Ming away safely.
They are now short of psychic manpower.
It is more profitable to capture a psychic than to kill a psychic to make the military of this star region happy.
As for the Sinda Company, if it loses the war, it will have no say at all.
However, he will try to restrain himself as much as possible. After all, Chen Ming is from the Sinda Company. It would be bad if too many Sinda Company spacecrafts were destroyed, causing Chen Ming to be too resistant to joining them after being captured.
Of course, this restraint will only appear when the battle situation is completely one-sided.
After all, he was still not sure whether he could defeat Chen Ming's psychic talent with his command skills.
If not, everything he was thinking about now was just empty talk.
The commander turned his attention back to the battlefield.
His eyes were fixed on the shuttle next to the herder.
"Are you there? Chen Ming."
