Seeing Nagojin board the Dark-star command ship, Han Xiao knew that the enemy's commander was finished.
The command ship was in danger, and the Dark-star fleet in the distance did not turn back to rescue them. Nakapu would most likely fall into Nagojin's hands, and the Dark-star fleet would not be able to do anything about it. The lower level officers took over the command and carried out Nakapu's orders to retreat. While the command ship attracted the attention of Godora's fleet, they led the fleet to break through the range of the spatial interference, accelerated, and turned into streams of light as they escaped.
On the other side, the Dark-star commandos had also broken away from the 40 Godora battleships and escaped in another direction.
The Dark-star fleet abandoned the bloody command ship and fled, leaving the command ship alone in the middle of the Barette fleet. It was like a lone wolf surrounded by a pack of hunting dogs.
The Blacklight Stealth hovered not far away. Han Xiao did not join in the fun. Nagojin was destroying the interior of the enemy ship, so there was no need for him to do anything. He was doing something else at the moment.
"Risda, is it possible to hack into Dark-star's database through the connection between the Dark-star mainframe and the enemy ship's artificial intelligence system?"
Han Xiao stroked his chin and muttered. All the spaceships belonging to the same organization basically used the artificial intelligence of the mainframe. This made it easier for the headquarters to coordinate the overall situation and control all the spaceships. Just like his own mercenary group, Philip was in charge of controlling more than ten spaceships at the same time. As long as the spaceships were equipped with Philip's replica chip, Philip would be able to create a new operating unit.
The artificial intelligence was related to the main artificial intelligence. Generally speaking, a Dark-star mothership would use a main artificial intelligence, and the subordinate fleets would use the artificial intelligence of the mothership. If they could hack into the quantum network, they might be able to locate the position of a Dark-star mothership and find its coordinates in the vast universe. It was like picking up a thread and pulling it out. This way, they would be able to break the physical concealment state of the mothership.
Risda's voice rang out from the cockpit, pouring cold water on him. "That won't do. In the instant before the enemy's AI was paralyzed, it cut off all connections with the mainframe. This is a common defensive measure against intrusions, and the sub-AIs of the other spaceships will check its identification code and assess its trust level before allowing it to reconnect with the mainframe."
"Dark-star is still very careful." Han Xiao nodded. This method was very simple. For example, if there were two spaceships, A and B, both using the same AI, A would automatically cut off the connection with the mainframe the moment it detected an intrusion. It would not be able to share the mainframe's data, and the mainframe would not be able to control A's location, status, and other information.
After A broke free from the intrusion, if B's data transmission range was within B's range, B's AI would automatically evaluate A's AI. After confirming that A was safe, B would send a feedback to the mainframe. Only then would the mainframe reconnect with A's AI. As for the Bloody Gal, it would be completely disconnected and unable to continue the intrusion, cutting off the possibility of the mainframe being infiltrated.
Dark-star had taken such a measure to protect the coordinates of the fleet. The Han Technician was not the only Virtual Mechanic in the universe, and Dark-star had always been on guard against this.
Although Han Xiao felt that it was a pity, he was not too disappointed. If it was so easy to locate Dark-star, Dark-star would have been smashed into pieces by Godora a long time ago.
The entire process of paralyzing the command ship did not take much time. Han Xiao's Virtual Technology had not reached the point where he could easily infiltrate Dark-star's command ship. Risda was an important helper, and this AI life form's calculation efficiency was extremely high, many times higher than Philip's. He had greatly strengthened Han Xiao's ability.
It was a pity that Risda was a free man … er, a free AI, and did not belong to him. Han Xiao did not know when he would be able to strengthen Philip to Risda's level. He scratched his chin and pondered … Perhaps he could get Risda to help Philip level up?
After all, artificial intelligences were still the ones that understood artificial intelligences the most. Risda's race grew by exchanging data with each other and upgrading each other's programs. Risda should be able to help Philip optimize his calculation structure.
Ginette and Sylvia looked at each other. These two women, one was a Cannon Master, and the other was a Mechanical Pugilist. Hearing a Mechanic and an AI life form talking about artificial intelligence technology, they suddenly felt that they were being educated.
Sylvia felt as though she had forgotten something. She tilted her head and thought for a long time. Suddenly, she realized that she had been too focused on being shocked, so she decided to vomit for a while.
After waiting for a while, Nagojin finally sent news that it was done. He had taken control of the command ship and docked with the fleet. Han Xiao and Barette boarded the bloody Gal and saw Nagojin in the command room, as well as a large number of Dark-star members that he had captured. Nakapu was among them.
"Beautifully done! As expected of the famous His Excellency Nagojin. "Barette was overjoyed.
Nagojin waved his hands and said with a calm expression, "This is not my work. It's all thanks to Black Star. If not for him paralyzing the enemy's spaceship, I would not have been able to do anything. He's the biggest contributor."
Barette laughed and said, "Haha, you're right. Black Star lives up to his name."
"It's nothing. I just did some insignificant work." Han Xiao did not comment.
After chatting for a while, they finally got down to business and counted their losses and gains.
Godora had lost less than ten spaceships, but they had destroyed a similar number of enemy spaceships. In the end, they had even captured a Dark-star command ship and its commander. They had kept the captives alive so that they could interrogate them for information and find out about the Dark-star's operation plan. Overall, they had profited. If Black Star had taken care of a dozen Dark-star spaceships, they would have profited greatly.
Godora had suffered so many losses, but they had finally obtained a positive result. This time, the War Bureau could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Nakapu looked up and swept his gaze across the few of them. Barette? He did not care about a radical commander who had been led by the nose. Nagojin? A high ranking official of the War Bureau who had been famous for a long time. He was strong, but he was not the key factor in this battle.
Finally, Nakapu's gaze landed on Han Xiao. It was like a nail … this was the person who had decided the outcome of this battle!
Nakapu believed that he had lost because he had misjudged Black Star's strength. If not for the wrong information, the fleet would have already left after attacking Blue Star, and he would have been able to escape unscathed.
He did not expect to be captured here.
"One wrong step led to many wrong steps …" Nakapu's eyes dimmed. He looked defeated and unwilling. He knew that he would not have the chance to make a comeback.
…
Three minutes after the Dark-star fleet had escaped, the news of the fleet's defeat and Nakapu's capture quickly reached the Dark-star headquarters. This was the first time they had suffered a loss in an ambush, and it immediately attracted the attention of the upper echelons.
The battle did not take long, and the upper echelons who had stayed behind to guard the headquarters quickly understood the situation. At this time, the highest commander in the headquarters was Dark-star's deputy leader. This was another veteran with the same seniority as Anur. His name was Degulish, and he was stern and dignified.
"It's Black Star again!"
Degulish frowned, and his tone was filled with dissatisfaction. After the incident with Anur, Dark-star harbored great enmity toward Han Xiao. However, due to the crucial moment of the plan, they did not take revenge. After all, Han Xiao had Floating Dragon behind him, and even Dark-star was not willing to provoke Ames.
The image of a Dark-star mothership being smashed into pieces by Ames was still fresh in their minds. Just thinking about it made their mouth dry up.
However, Black Star had once again obstructed their plan. Degulish was not as reserved as the Dark-star leader. The Dark-star leader was currently out on a secret mission, and he was currently in charge of the headquarters. Degulish's style was that of a hardliner.
"He has gone against us time and time again. It's time for him to understand what kind of existence he is provoking. I want him to pay the price for his actions." "Heh, isn't he fighting to protect his hometown? Send out two Dark-star motherships and blast Blue Star into a nebula!" Degulish said with a deep voice.
"Deputy leader, this is not in line with our plan. We should not destroy a calamity planet," the intelligence officer said.
"I remember that Ashes has been suggesting that we kill Black Star at all costs. Perhaps he has some logic behind it. We have more than ten calamity planets, and destroying one will have little effect on the overall situation," Degulish said with a deep voice.
If Ashes was there, he would have raised both his hands and feet in agreement. However, it was a pity that he did not participate in the meeting.
More accurately speaking, many of the senior officers were absent from the meeting and were all out on missions according to the plan. Attacking a calamity planet was only Dark-star's only action on the surface, but in the dark, most of the senior officers were doing things that no one knew about.
The intelligence officer shook his head. "However, that is only if we can kill him. Otherwise, it will just be a waste of our fleet. He has a Blacklight Stealth that we don't know where he got from. This is a high-end product from the Radiant Federation, and we have no way of catching him. "
Degulish frowned. "He can run, but Blue Star won't be able to!"
The intelligence officer shook his head. "If Blue Star is really his weakness, destroying it like this is too much of a waste."
"Waste? What do you think? "
"Black Star is just a mercenary, and according to my observations, he has always been going against us. Most of the time, it is because Godora hired him or because we attacked him first. Of course, this is not to absolve him of the blame. No matter what the reason is, he still has to pay the price.
The problem is that if we destroy his only known weakness, he will not have any reservations and will wholeheartedly go against us. He might even ask Ames for help because of this, which is not good for us. "
Degulish coldly said, "Since when is it our turn to be afraid of others? For a Mechanic at Black Star's level, I can crush three of them with one hand. So what if it's the Dragon Emperor? Can she find us? "
"What I mean is that since Black Star is protecting Blue Star, it means that he cares about this planet." The intelligence officer narrowed his eyes. "Destroying Blue Star is as easy as flipping our hands. Why don't we keep this weakness and threaten him at the right time? This way, he will truly regret it and have no choice but to be used by us."
When Degulish heard this, his expression changed, and he felt that it made sense.
"My subordinates will continue to collect information on Black Star. Black Star is under the Dragon Emperor, and if we can make use of him, we might be able to achieve a miraculous effect. The infiltration team left behind on Blue Star has been monitoring his movements. Although Godora's military radar can see through our stealth mode within a certain distance, the infiltration team has already turned off the spaceship's engine and is only maintaining the stealth mode. As long as the spaceship is not activated, they will not be exposed. Furthermore, I am prepared to plant spies among the Black Star mercenary. They are just a bunch of mercenaries, and as long as they can afford it, they will not have any moral integrity. We will plant our people among them and monitor his every move. "
The failure of the ambush this time was a fuse, and the Dark-star side decided to take Han Xiao seriously. Since force did not work, they would use underhanded methods.
Degulish thought for a moment before nodding. "Let's do as you say."
"Then, I suggest that we do not attack Blue Star frequently during the period of the plan. As you said before, it is only a calamity planet and is not a big deal. Furthermore, with Black Star around, if we want to attack Blue Star, we might have to pay a bigger price. The gains do not make up for the losses."
…
They returned to Blue Star, and the Blacklight Stealth landed in the Sanctuary. At this time, nine Dark-star assault spaceships were parked outside the Sanctuary. These were the spaceships that had been captured by the mercenaries.
Thirty Dark-star assault spaceships had attacked, and a portion of them had been destroyed in the air or crashed on the surface. In the end, less than ten spaceships had escaped, and the rest had been captured by the Black Star mercenary. All of them were damaged to varying degrees, and the internal damage was especially severe. However, their basic functions were still operational.
Han Xiaoxin was overjoyed. Nine small assault spaceships, this was a decent harvest. If calculated according to cost, the total value would be in the millions of Enas. The most valuable parts of these spaceships were the energy core, warp engine, spaceship shield, and ion cannon. Removing these things, the cost would be reduced by seventy to eighty percent. If the core components of the crashed spaceships were not damaged, they should be able to extract some materials and parts. That would be very valuable, and it could be considered a bonus.
Not only did this attack not cost him much, he had even made a huge profit. With these assault spaceships, the firepower of his fleet would be greatly increased. Han Xiao was quite happy and wished that Uncle Gloom would come to play more often, giving him more opportunities to nurture his fleet.
Just as Han Xiao was about to board the spaceships to check, Barette landed.
Barette glanced around, walked forward, nodded, and solemnly said, "Black Star, you have done well. My men will be here to take over the spoils of war later. You have worked hard this time."
Han Xiao stopped in his tracks and stared at Barette's matter-of-fact expression. His eyebrows slowly raised.
