Combat Drones VS Combat Drones
Do you now understand why I'm in such a rush to help humans unlock their seventh brain region? asked Harris.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. He did not expect Harris to have such a motive behind his craziness.
Harris sighed. The Pan-Human Alliance may seem incredibly powerful, but it's actually on the decline. According to the Alliance's internal investigation, the number of ability users among humans, especially the high-rank ones, is gradually decreasing. Perhaps in a few years, humans will be like the other sapient races, no longer possessing abilities. When that time comes, the weak humans may not be a match for the powerful insectoids, Na'vi, or the other sapient races.
This insectoid is an example of a genetic mutation that unlocked their ability. They're already stronger than humans, so if they break through the zero-degree restriction, the result won't be hard to predict.
According to humanity's understanding of the insectoids, they did not have any abilities. This insectoid might have suddenly mutated for some unknown reason, breaking through and becoming an insectoid ability user. This was just one example.
Xia Fei said after some thought, Aside from abilities, humans also have technology. Even without elite warriors, they can still rely on advanced weapons to fight their enemies, so they wont die so easily.
Harris chuckled bitterly. Perhaps. The ancient humans were technologically advanced, but in the end, they were still destroyed by the robot army. Humans need to be strong to deal with the countless dangers in the vast galaxy. I may be a scientist, but I don't think that science can solve all problems.
This was not the first time Xia Fei had heard such an opinion. Back in Heaven Execution Training Camp, Battalion Commander Ye Jingshan had emphasized the importance of warriors to the human race. All this while, Xia Fei did not think that a single person could be so strong that they did not need any technology to deal with a powerful warship alone.
Legend had it that the strongest human war god could destroy a planet with his own strength, but Xia Fei had never seen such a thing before. That was why he preferred old man Qin Mangs approach, emphasizing one's own cultivation while not giving up on technology.
It seemed that a large portion of the Pan-Human Alliance looked down on technology, including Harris, who was a scientist himself. It was truly ironic.
Xia Fei smiled. Technology isnt omnipotent, but it also depends on the level of the technology. Can a top-tier warrior defeat that super warship we just saw?
"Yes!" Harris said firmly, "There are many hidden experts in the Pan-Human Alliance. They can destroy a planet with a wave of their hands, not to mention a large warship."
Xia Fei did not say anything, silently leaving Harriss room and returning to the command deck. Xia Fei did not appreciate Harriss fanatical pursuit of martial prowess. He felt that in order for a person to truly stand out in this world, aside from crazily cultivating, he would also need to crazily learn more.
Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei said to Phantom, What do you think? I just feel that abilities and high-tech weapons complement each other perfectly, and neither can be lacking.
Phantom curled his lips. "When I was in my sect, I was also taught that martial arts are the most important. After coming into contact with you during this period of time, I'm starting to feel that relying on the power of technology isn't wrong. It's probably because most humans aren't sure how far technology will develop, so they'd rather believe in themselves."
Xia Fei nodded. "Have you seen a true expert before?"
Gui Ying chuckled, "Of course, my master is an expert."
"How high?"
"Very high."
Xia Fei rolled his eyes at Gui Ying, who might as well not have said anything.
"Your current cultivation base is only at the Star Sector-level. Above the Star Sector-level is the Galaxy Grade, and above that is the Legendary Grade, and above that is the Eternal Grade. These levels are not just for show. There are indeed humans who can reach such heights, which is why these levels exist," Gui Ying said in a deep voice.
Xia Fei chuckled. "If there's a chance, I'd really like to visit your sect. You've mentioned quite a few things about your sect over the past two years, yet you've never told me where it is."
"My sect doesn't see outsiders," Phantom said seriously with a frown.
That was when the Tomahawk entered its final warp. Xia Fei focused his attention and looked ahead. This journey had been full of surprises, and he wondered what this third destination would bring.
* Bang! *
Before the Tomahawk completely exited the wormhole, the deafening sound of cannon fire reached Xia Fei's ears.
"The energy shield is operating at one hundred percent! Preheat all weapons and equipment! "Xia Fei hurriedly stood up and walked to the command deck with a serious expression, his hands behind his back.
No one could have imagined that this was a battlefield!
* Whoosh! *
The Tomahawk accelerated and leaped out of the wormhole.
Countless warship wreckages floated in the darkness of space. Xia Fei was very familiar with the structure of warships in the Alliance, so he could tell at a glance that none of these wreckages were produced by the Pan-Human Alliance.
They were shaped like giant black eggs, and their surfaces were covered with long needle-like spikes, making them look like giant round cacti.
Xia Fei had no idea which sentient race owned these ships, but he knew that they were his enemies!
Anything that could threaten his existence was an enemy!
In this sea of wreckages, several spaceships about the size of buses were circling rapidly. Their target was a Gaian Tristan-class frigate.
"Activate all drone control modules! Release the medium-sized combat drones! "Xia Fei quickly ordered.
There was no time to hesitate. Uncle Porter was piloting a Tristan-class frigate!
No matter what, he had to first save the ship from the muzzles of these spaceships that were like flies!
* Whoosh! *
Twenty medium-sized combat drones quickly flew out of the drone bay and circled around the Tomahawk.
"Target all hostile small spaceships! Attack! Activate the tractor beams; hold them down and fire! "
* Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After receiving Xia Fei's clear command, these combat drones ferociously lunged at the small spaceships in the distance!
Menacing!
Drones were just machines, and they never felt fear. They would even dare to pounce on the cruelest of enemies and tear them to shreds!
The black mass of small spaceships in the distance discovered the Tomahawk, and about a hundred of them rushed in Xia Fei's direction. Because of their small size, they were extremely fast and agile.
* Bang! Bang! Bang! *
The cannons of the medium-sized combat drones began to fire. The enemy's spaceships were extremely agile, and Xia Fei's Venus drone was not weak, either.
Both sides were like two swarms of angry wasps, tearing at each other in the air.
"Warp engine at full power! Quickly approach that Tristan-class frigate! "Xia Fei loudly ordered.
The thrusters released three blinding blue flames as they approached Old Porters ship. Due to the interference from the supergravity, the drones could not get too far away from the Tomahawk. They could not directly head to Old Porters location to rescue him, so they needed the Tomahawk to approach.
"Damn gravity!" Xia Fei viciously slammed the control panel as he roared.
As he got closer and closer, Xia Fei could clearly see that the Tristan-class frigate was already on fire!
Because the warship's armor was made of blunt metal, it would not burn even if it was attacked, so it was not hard to deduce from the flames that Old Porters structural layer had already been attacked!
It should be noted that the structural layer of a warship was its last line of defense, and the consequences would be unimaginable if it was destroyed.
"Warp engine at one hundred percent overload! Get in there and fight! "
Xia Fei had completely lost his mind. Just a few seconds ago, he was still thinking about Harriss words, but after realizing that Old Porters was surrounded, he immediately turned into the craziest warrior, desperately trying to save Old Porters.
It should be noted that this was a supergravity zone, and the warship had to withstand far more pressure than the other half of space!
It was fine if the engine was operating at full power, but Xia Fei actually ordered the warp engine to go into overload mode in such an environment!
This was practically a destructive order to the engine system!
A warship was an interstellar traveler's most loyal friend. Even if this order was destructive, the Tomahawk still carried it out without any hesitation!
The flames from the warp engine suddenly increased in intensity! It was even more dazzling than the most brilliant fireworks!
The Tomahawk shook violently as it wrestled with the omnipresent supergravity.
"Warning! Engines 2 and 3 are overheating and could collapse at any time! "The cold female voice of the mainframe warned urgently.
Engines 2 and 3 were rather old, so they quickly overheated the moment they entered overload mode.
This was when the Tomahawk began to accelerate, and there was still some distance between it and Old Porters warship.
"You shut up!" Xia Fei gritted his teeth. "Full power overload! Full power overload! "
* Boom! *
A dull sound came from the back of the Tomahawk. "Engine 3 has collapsed. Continue overload mode?"
"Continue!" Xia Fei ordered without hesitation.
Not far away, Xia Fei's twenty Venusian drones were engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy's spaceships. The enemy greatly outnumbered them, and half of the twenty drones were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
"Release the Warhammer drones!"
* Whoosh! *
Eleven medium-sized Warhammer drones were released from the cockpit and immediately joined the fray. The Tomahawk would replenish every drone that was destroyed. Xia Fei's warship was a drone attack-type warship, and its greatest feature was the hundreds of combat drones in its hold. Whenever one was destroyed, a new one would be released immediately, maintaining the same attack power as before, maintaining a deterrent effect on the enemy.
* Bang! *
Another muffled sound rang out. The second engine couldn't withstand the enormous pressure and after a few painful struggles, it was also destroyed.
Xia Fei glanced at the speedometer on the command deck. The Tomahawk's speed was rapidly decreasing, and at this moment, Xia Fei was still quite a distance away from Old Porters warship.
The flames from the Tristan-class warship were getting brighter and brighter. Though the defense and firepower of this model of warship were not weak, there were simply too many enemy spaceships. They were like a housefly, no, a swarm of houseflies, surrounding Old Porters and attacking them with all their might!
