Chapter 291 Let some People Go First

Qi Yiming's return did give the captains of the escort fleet a shot of confidence to a certain extent.

But this cannot fundamentally solve the problem of human extinction.

Soon, Qi Yiming and Qiao Shan returned to the bridges of their respective warships.

"Aurora, come closer to me." The first thing Qi Yiming did when he returned to the bridge was to ask Qiao Shan's Aurora to quickly approach him.

When the Aurora approached the Xuefeng super flagship to a certain distance, Qiao Shan suddenly found that he had lost control of the Aurora.

Under the guidance of the Xuefeng, the Aurora came to her bow position. At the same time, the other shield modular warships also automatically decomposed during the approach and flew towards their targets under the guidance of the Xuefeng.

Soon a circular gun mount rose in the mirror position of the Spear, and the Aurora stuck its stern on the circular gun mount impartially.

Azure and Paranoia entered the ship directly from the ship-borne warship ejection port in the middle of the Xuefeng super flagship, and were transported to the designated position inside the Xuefeng for installation under the traction of the giant platform.

As for the rest of the shield modular warships, they also flew to their respective assembly positions according to the prefabricated procedures.

After completing the assembly, Qiao Shan took the ship's internal transport boat to the bridge of the Xuefeng. Although he had also experienced the assembly process of modular warships, this was the first time he saw the complete assembly of all modular warships of the strategic strike fleet.

Along the way, he had strong confidence in this warship that Qi Yiming had high hopes for.

When he came to the bridge, Qi Yiming pointed to a console on his right hand side: "That console is the main console of the shield modular warship. You will be responsible for monitoring the operation of the shield warship."

Qiao Shan did not say much, and went directly to the position assigned by Qi Yiming to stand.

"Red Dragon, deploy a special combat posture..."

Red Dragon is the official ship name given by the former Human Federation for the final assembly of modular warships. As for the Xuefeng used by Qi Yiming before, it was just a zero-generation number.

Because there are too many assembly sequences for modular warships, generally speaking, as long as it is not the final assembly, the ship name is temporarily arranged by the captain.

After receiving Qi Yiming's command, the Red Dragon's shipboard intelligent brain quickly began to change its posture.

First, the two super main guns composed of battleships at the bow of the ship were fitted together with their respective gun mounts to form a new main gun.

Although the gun body did not look particularly novel, and it was hard to tell how powerful this gun was, Qi Yiming knew that the attack strength of this main gun was second only to the Light of Destruction.

Then the Azure deployed its energy shield.

But this energy shield was completely different from what we saw before.

The previous shield could only see a layer of light blue light film, but this energy shield gave people the feeling that the Red Dragon was covered with a blue solid shell, and the range of the energy shield was much larger than before, covering almost all human warships.

This was all thanks to the shield-based battleship found by Qiao Shan, the Big Belly.

Although the name is a bit teasing, it is indeed the most important cruiser among the shield-based module-exchange battleships.

The interior of her ship is full of energy storage tanks. With her support, the Azure can expand the range of the shield to a radius of 2 light minutes, but the shield strength can be maintained at more than 800,000 degrees.

This is still a range energy shield. If the Azure converts the shield to a single mode, the Red Dragon will have an energy shield with a strength of 6 million degrees.

If you look closely, the surface of the energy shield will occasionally flash a red light.

This is the function of the destroyer Paranoia. When the enemy hits the energy shield, it can absorb a certain amount of attack energy or change the characteristics of the shield's hit position, greatly reducing the enemy's damage to the shield.

The fleet was suddenly protected by a large-scale energy shield, which slowed down the swarm's attack.

But then the shield flashed with dense red light. A large amount of cryogenic liquid in the cabin where the Paranoia placed the ship's intelligent brain began to be heated to boiling by the gradually rising intelligent brain body. A large amount of harmful gas floated in the cabin. This was the result of the cryogenic liquid being vaporized.

Qiao Shan watched the shield strength value in front of him drop madly.

In the blink of an eye, the 800,000-degree shield strength dropped to 630,000 degrees. At this rate, the seemingly intimidating large-scale energy shield would be defeated by the Zerg.

Qi Yiming seemed to know all of this and didn't care about the crazy drop in shield strength.

"Red Dragon, prepare for long-range delivery..."

"Long-range delivery charging begins, please select the delivery target..."

Qiao Shan was stunned when he heard Qi Yiming's next order. It was the first time he heard of long-range delivery, and he couldn't figure out what Qi Yiming was going to do.

Qi Yiming lit up all the colony ships in the long-range delivery selection program, and also arranged a fleet of about 100,000 warships to be delivered together with the colony ships.

In short, all the ether crystals stored in the Red Dragon were used up at once, and the fleet could be delivered as far as possible.

The strength of the energy shield was rapidly decreasing, and a layer of sweat had already seeped out of Qiao Shan's forehead.

After issuing the delivery order that seemed strange to him, Qi Yiming simply commanded the fleet to hold the defense line step by step. However, everyone knew that in this situation it was only a matter of time before the Zerg broke through.

Just when Qiao Shan wanted to ask Qi Yiming if he had any better plans, he suddenly found from the battlefield monitor that his three giant colony ships disappeared after a flash of red light.

Along with the three giant colony ships, a large number of warships and the small colony ships Qiao Shan brought also disappeared.

"What happened? Where did those colony ships and warships go?" Qiao Shan's legs went weak when he saw this scene.

Qi Yiming smiled and said to him: "Don't be nervous, I just used the space jump technology to send them to a galaxy more than 300 light years away, they are safe."

Qiao Shan was slightly relieved after listening to Qi Yiming's explanation.

He immediately said to Qi Yiming: "What are you waiting for? Send away the remaining warships."

Who would have thought that Qi Yiming would say: "We can only rely on ourselves for the remaining warships."

"Why?"

"There are not enough materials. I can't even send away a small transport boat now."

Qiao Shan sat back in his seat dejectedly, muttering: "How could this happen? I finally got here..."

After a few seconds, Qiao Shan muttered to himself again: "It's good this way. At least most of the people have been sent out. At least there is a glimmer of hope for human civilization."

Qi Yiming looked at Qiao Shan with a gloomy face and didn't know how to comfort him. He just walked to his side and patted his shoulder: "Fight for it. We may not die here..."

Qiao Shan looked up at Qi Yiming. He didn't know where the confidence of the man in front of him came from.

Look at the swarm of insects surrounding them? The Leviathan that covered the sky and the sun has filled the local galaxy. Even if there are more than two million warships in the local galaxy, how much hope can there be to break out of the encirclement?
