Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 94 At this time, the armor-breaking class is still on the way.

The situation is dire.

Without much hesitation, Chen Ming took off his gauntlet and pressed it on the wall behind him.

[New spacecraft signal detected, whether to change the brain control signal connection]

[Number of currently connected spaceships: 2/2]

The spacecraft that Chen Ming is currently directly connected to is a Centurion class that is on the battlefield, and the other is an Armor-breaking class that is still coming.

As for the Iron Ore, which had been hiding behind the cattle driver, Chen Ming had stopped controlling it from the moment the battle began. Anyway, the cattle driver basically wouldn't move, and the Iron Ore was safe there.

So in the current situation, Chen Ming can only disconnect the A-level 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 begin to retreat from the edge of the battle line, and be ready to transfer the centurion's control to the armor-breaking level at any time.

There was no time to wait too long, Chen Ming said silently in his heart: "Replace."

For a moment, Chen Ming's mind suddenly went into a trance.

After that, there was no more. The negative impact of controlling this cattle-class ship was nothing more than that.

It was not like what Chen Ming had expected when he controlled his refraction, from breaking through from a frigate to a destroyer. Breaking through the limits caused a sting to the brain, just like doing a normal thing.

But having said that, Chen Ming still found that the number of currently connected spaceships on the panel had become 2/3. It seemed that controlling the new spacecraft still required a certain loss of mental power, otherwise there would be no corresponding increase in spiritual energy.

Chen Ming put the Centurion back online to support the fleet at the edge of the battle line.

Then the cattle driver level panel opened.

A panel that almost completely occupied his entire field of vision jumped out immediately.

However, Chen Ming does not have time to check the specific values ​​of the panel in detail now.

I could only quickly scan the panel for the most critical content for the spacecraft.

Radiation, armor, weapons and aircraft unique to the aircraft carrier.

The Cowherd's radiation capacity is currently 2159/6000, which is in a fairly good condition.

After all, most of the Cowherd's weapons are missile weapons that do not increase the radiation capacity, so basically all of its radiation capacity can be used for pure shield protection, and the radiation status is naturally relatively good.

The shield has not been broken, so the armor will naturally not be damaged.

The cattle driver's armor therefore had no problems.

There are a little more problems with weapons.

The Cowherd's panel showed more than a dozen rows of missile mounting points located at different locations on the ship, and these mounting points were already running out of ammunition.

All missile hardpoints on the Cowherd are equipped with Annihilator missiles.

When the battle first broke out, a large number of them were released without any regard for losses.

Even if Chen Ming found a missile production workshop on the Cowherd, it was already too late to supply the launch needs of the hardpoints.

But Chen Ming's ability is used in this kind of place.

In the warehouse next to the production workshop, there are a large number of semi-finished products for missile production that are easy to store, and the materials are sufficient.

Chen Ming's repair ability can load bullets into weapons. Whether it is ordinary metal projectiles or complex missiles, as long as the materials are available, they can be filled directly.

However, Chen Ming was in no hurry to take action immediately.

There was something else that required his attention.

The cattle driver's fighter plane.

[Flight deck (first floor): 39/80 (16)]

This is a line of information related to fighter aircraft displayed on the panel. There are three other lines of information similar to this line.

Each of these four rows represents a flight deck on the Cowherd class.

The first number in the specific content refers to the number of fighters currently parked on the flight deck.

The second is the upper limit on the number of fighters that each deck can carry.

The third one is the number of fighter planes still engaged in diplomatic warfare.

The overall data are basically the same.

Chen Ming was certain that the cattle drivers had prepared enough fighters before setting off.

The reduced number on the panel means that the fighter wing on each deck has suffered nearly one-third battle losses.

Chen Ming was now helpless about the spaceships outside. The panels could not affect those fighters.

But there are still things he can do for these fighters parked on the deck that have not yet set off, or that have been damaged and are returning to flight.

After determining where his ability was needed, Chen Ming immediately pressed the repair button on the panel.

Just ten seconds after he did this.

There was a sudden noise on the captain's communication channel.

A voice said extremely nervously and hastily: "Captain, all the fighters on the deck were suddenly repaired by metallic liquids that came out of nowhere! And those liquids are still automatically forming lost fighters. This... What exactly is going on?"

Chen Ming was very close to the captain, so he naturally heard the sound of the communication channel.

He was actually quite surprised that the panel could not only repair damaged fighter planes, but also repair lost spaceships.

This ability to supplement fighters can always supplement the number of fighters on the deck to the upper limit that the flight deck can carry.

Of course, this includes the fighters that are still fighting outside and have not yet returned.

It can only be said that Chen Ming always felt that the repair function that he had on the panel from the beginning was an ability that could only be explained by metaphysics.

He does not need to have information about what needs to be repaired, nor does he need to master the repair technology. As long as the thing to be repaired is on the spacecraft, and as long as there are enough materials, Chen Ming will dare to repair it for it.

It is completely different from the transformation that requires Chen Ming to personally master the relevant technology, which is quite outrageous.

And not just from the flight deck, messages from other places are also coming in one after another.

"Captain! There is a situation where a large amount of metallic liquid flows into the launch point and forms an Annihilator missile at the missile mounting point. Should we continue to launch?"

"Captain, there was an accident in the spacecraft's warehouse materials. All the semi-finished missiles in storage melted and flowed out directly after penetrating the wall of the spacecraft!"

"The same goes for the warehouse next to the deck. All fighter parts and reserve fighters that have not been debugged have the same situation!"

Several pieces of information from different departments appeared at the captain 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 sustain the amount of consumption just now, he said: "Please arrange a shuttle boat for me."

"At the same time, let all the destroyer-level ships come closer. I need to make contact with other ships."

The captain took a deep breath, forced himself to accept this unimaginable situation, and bowed his head slightly to Chen Ming and said, "I will make arrangements for you right away."

Chen Ming's idea is simple.

His ability allows him to quickly switch between the ships he controls.

So as long as he controls all the company's spacecraft, and then when any spacecraft has a problem, he can immediately switch control to repair it.

Relying on the powerful ability of the panel, it provides a layer of psychic protection to all spacecraft.

To put it simply, there are four words: cut quickly and repair quickly.

Moreover, the cost of repairing the spacecraft is not too much for Chen Ming now.

Chen Ming had been constantly consuming his mental energy for repairs and modifications some time ago. At the same time, he was also exercising with the Whispering Stone and the Lie Stone, which was very effective in improving his mental strength.

In addition, Chen Ming had rested for more than ten hours while waiting in the lounge, so it shouldn't be a problem to sustain another battle.

However, Chen Ming is also self-aware and does not really want to control all spaceships.

Just controlling all the destroyers in the fleet for repairs is almost the limit of his current mental strength.

While the captain arranged a shuttle boat for Chen Ming.

The cattle drivers once again poured tons of Annihilator missiles in the direction of the military fleet.

And it maintained the highest level of firepower output almost every moment after that.

Like an endless sea of ​​missiles, coupled with the organic fighter planes that seemed to be filling the battle line forever, the situation on the battlefield was suddenly skewed due to this.

At the same time, on the side of the military fleet.

There was a ship at the very rear of the battle line that did not directly participate in the battle.

This is a law enforcer-class destroyer with a special orange-red painting. From the appearance, it can be seen that it has definitely undergone a lot of special modifications.

And on the top armor of the law enforcer, there is an orange-red eagle-shaped logo with spread wings, 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. However, his military uniform is different from 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 back from the battle line, analyzing the situation on the battlefield, and issuing the most appropriate order based on this.

It's just that his expression is still the same as before, with a calm look.

But he had some doubts in his heart.

Because there is something wrong with the data passed back.

Commanders have very in-depth knowledge of most of the ships that may appear on the battlefield.

The impression of a relatively special ship like the Cattle Driver is even deeper, and now this Cattle Driver has obviously exerted its capabilities far beyond what it should have.

The first thought that came to the commander's mind was that the Cowherd had chosen to over-carry and equip the ship for combat effectiveness.But doing so can often lead to some non-combat-related problems with the spacecraft.

Even if you can have strong combat effectiveness in the short term, it will never last long.

Therefore, he did not have any special emotions because of the changes in the battlefield situation caused by the sudden outbreak of the cattle drivers.

Instead, he continued to direct with a calmer mind.

Even if the Cowherd can exert actual combat effectiveness that far exceeds normal circumstances, even if the Cowherd itself is a very powerful ship among destroyer-class ships.

But just one ship would never be able to cause much trouble on a battlefield with more than a hundred ships.

And the commander did not believe that the war supplies on the Cattle Driver were unlimited.

No matter how many fighters or missiles there are, as long as there are restrictions, he can handle them all.

From the very beginning of the battle, even when there was no numerical advantage in battleships, the commander could rely on his command skills to firmly control the battle situation in his hands.

So, he has such confidence.

The commander's precise command was transmitted to every military ship on the battlefield through the fleet communication channel, suddenly giving the company's fleet greater suppressive power than before.

But the problem immediately arose again.

The commander was able to keenly notice from the changes in the battle situation that more company spaceships were in the same situation as the cattle herder, and suddenly displayed combat capabilities that far exceeded the upper limit of the spacecraft's normal combat effectiveness.

So much so that many local battle situations that were supposed to gain an advantage under his planning had unexpected consequences.

The situation where he was supposed to rely on his scheduling to gain an advantage in the exchange of small-scale combat power radiation on the battlefield and force the opponent to shrink their front suddenly changed.

The firepower was insufficient to defeat the enemy's shield, but instead caused the spacecraft executing the order to fall into danger.

Although this did not happen at the same time, there were ships in some places that did achieve some results under his command.

But the place where the victory was just achieved will soon be replenished by the company's ships whose combat effectiveness has suddenly increased.

It feels to the commander that each company spacecraft can achieve several times more radiation capacity and firepower output than a normal ship.

Whether it is live ammunition, missiles, or energy weapons, they all seem to be infinite, constantly counterattacking against military ships.

Even their shields last longer than normal.

It was as if the entire ship was refreshed when it was about to reach its limit.

Something went wrong with the commander's ongoing experience.

But he didn't panic. Instead, he threw out all the past experiences in his mind.

And slowed down the offensive to suppress the company's fleet, and began to re-examine the company's fleet.

By looking at real-time action from the many small battles that make up a large battlefield, commanders discovered something.

He discovered that not all ships in the company's fleet would have capabilities that far exceeded normal circumstances, but that only destroyer-level ships would have such special performance.

And he also caught another characteristic, that is, all spaceships that far exceed their own combat power limit only behave like this after getting close to the cattle herders.

Did the cattle drivers prepare a lot of combat supplies to replenish other spaceships?

wrong.

The commander immediately rejected his idea.

Because he also discovered more situations.

According to the results of the sensor scan, there was a small shuttle boat used for small-scale personnel transfers between ships parked next to the cattle driver.

And every spacecraft that approaches the cattle driver is not approaching the cattle driver, but is approaching the shuttle boat.

Only destroyers that have been exposed to shuttle boats will display more terrifying combat capabilities when they return to the front line of the battlefield.

"Could it be that……"

The commander had an immature guess in his mind.

He immediately called his deputy, and while commanding the fleet, he said distractedly: "In addition to patrolling and reviewing the areas where Yuhui ships have appeared many times this time, is there one more thing to do? Track down a wanted person. Guilty?"

The deputy immediately answered him: "Yes, this person's name is Chen Ming, and he is most likely in the Sinda Company's fleet."

"Chen Ming...where is his information?"

The deputy immediately found the intelligence compiled by the military at the military outpost and began dictating it to the commander who did not have time to read the intelligence himself.

"Chen Ming, a senior maintenance engineer at the head office of Sinda Rockwell Company, later became the senior maintenance engineer team leader of the mining subsidiary of Sinda Company, and performed cryo-sleep missions on the DG-C-9527 mining space station."

"In April 5569 AD, they colluded with pirates to release large-scale biohazardous weapons on the mining space station. This intelligence was confirmed yesterday, and the relevant wanted notice was issued."

The commander didn't hear what his deputy said and asked, "Is there nothing else?"

"The information given by the outpost is basically some identity resume, nothing special."

"No? What about his family background?"

"orphan."

"Then what's his reason for doing this?"

"Not known yet."

The commander's expression rarely changed and he said: "A person who looks like he is doing field missions and looking for promotion suddenly inexplicably colludes with pirates to release large-scale biohazardous weapons where he works?"

"I remember that the military here sealed off the galaxy for 30 years, right? Didn't they find the people who had stayed in the galaxy?"

"Instead, Sindar Company, a victim of a space station being killed, found him as the 'culprit' and sent an escort fleet to pick him up?"

"What are you kidding?"

The commander said, slowing down the attack frequency of the fleet under his command again.

He directly took the terminal from the deputy's hand and retrieved some documents given by the military.

At the same time, some additional information investigated by his people was also retrieved.

After confirming these things, the commander suddenly sneered and said: "Ah, Sindar's mining rights, Sindar's mining space station, the 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 you wanted to say something because you had been holding it in for too long and all you could think about was fighting with Yuhui. Without thinking, you took the initiative to review the places where Yuhui frequently appeared. He didn’t care about the face of the webmaster at all, but in the end he Still didn’t dare to say it.

The commander suddenly put down the terminal and looked at his deputy and said, "Where are those ships whose weapons were said to have misfired just now? Give me their list. You know what I want."

The deputy nodded and immediately returned to the command room after leaving for a while.

A piece of paper and a list of personnel were handed to the commander.

The commander quickly checked it over and said expressionlessly: "They are all the station commander's cronies. Are you treating me as a spearman? Are the soldiers here rotten?"

"Then what do you think..."

The commander waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's continue fighting."

Although the stationmaster suspected him of being a spearman, he had nothing to do in this remote corner of the star field. Commanding the fleet to fight was his favorite thing.

Moreover, the target of the battle may also be a psychic.

The commander had never heard of any psykers in Sindar Company who could enhance the capabilities of the ship, or he had never heard of psykers with such abilities.

There are high-ranking officials from the military within Sindar Company, and it is impossible to completely conceal the information about psykers from the military. Therefore, the psyker on the shuttle must be a newly awakened psionic being who has recently joined the company. By.

And Xinda Company sent the highest-level fleet that could be organized in a short period of time to pick up Chen Ming, which clearly stated the importance of Chen Ming.

At the same time, the commander did not believe that a person who traveled half a light-year from a space station full of biohazards on a damaged spaceship that did not even have a hyperspace channel system and returned alive to a pirate space station would be an ordinary person.

Once the current situations are combined, it is actually easy to deduce that Chen Ming is a psyker.

Even the commander can directly guess the general situation.

The military dropped biological weapons on the space station for the benefit of Sky Steel, and Chen Ming just happened to escape in the cryo-sleep chamber.

Thirty years later, Chen Ming woke up and awakened the spaceship control type of psychic energy on the dangerous space station. Then he relied on the damaged spaceship to return to the pirate space station.

And contacted Xinda Company to prepare for a counterattack against the military.

The military discovered Chen Ming's existence at this juncture and prepared to deal with this threat.

Although the commander himself did not have the slightest fondness for the dirty things done by the military at the military outpost, he had a certain appreciation for Chen Ming, a man who returned to the human world from an extremely dangerous environment.

But the battle has begun, pitting the psyker's psychic talents against his learned command skills.

He didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

Anyway, he would not reveal the news that Chen Ming was probably a psyker.

There is no sign of this in the information provided by the military outpost, which shows that the military investigation here is not comprehensive enough, and there is no need for him to wipe others' butts.

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 currently short of psychic manpower.

Capturing a psyker and bringing him back is more profitable than killing a psyker to please the military in this sector.

As for Xinda Company, if it loses the battle, it will have no right to speak.

However, he would try to be more restrained. After all, Chen Ming was from Sindar Company. It would be bad if he destroyed too many Sindar Company spaceships and Chen Ming was 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 is still not sure whether he can defeat Chen Ming's psychic talent with his commanding skills.

If not, everything he thinks about now is empty talk.

The commander returned his attention to the battlefield again.

His eyes were fixed on the location of the shuttle boat next to the cattle driver.

"Are you there? Chen Ming."
