Far away in the clouds, a gigantic shadow floated there, as though it was an island of spirits in the night sky. From the start of the battle, this gigantic spaceship that was dozens of kilometers long had been quietly hovering there, like a beast in hibernation, coldly watching our battle. Now, it finally bared its fangs, preparing to tear the enemy in front of it into pieces.
Specks of light, like stars in the night sky, appeared in front of the huge shadow. These star-like specks of light swam and grew brighter and brighter, gradually connecting to each other to form a bright track like a circuit board. These lines intersected with each other in a complicated way, and then all converged on a ring in the center. And inside this ring, even brighter specks of light swam rapidly, gradually forming an oval vortex — just like the bright Milky Way.
"The Eternal-class main cannon is a high-energy mass annihilation generator with an effective diameter of half a kilometer." Looking at the clear scene from the holographic image, Sandora's tone remained calm, as if even the end of the world could not shake the calm and wise Schilling Queen. Alright, I purposely did not look at the popcorn kernels on her clothes. "This shockingly destructive weapon can completely melt a medium-sized city in five seconds, and after two stages of charging, its power can be doubled. And because of the energy disturbance when the main cannon is activated, it has a beautiful name: Galaxy."
Ah, what a beautiful and powerful weapon. It would be even better if this thing was not aimed at us. Is this the time to speak in such a calm tone!?
Looking at Sandora's expression as if nothing had happened, my heart instantly flipped over.
"Don't worry too much." Sandora still maintained a calm expression, glancing nonchalantly at the Eternal-class main cannon that had turned into a rotating galaxy on the holographic image. "Although this thing is very powerful, it cannot easily break through the entire fleet's joint defense field. So, at least in the thirty minutes before we run out of energy, the enemy cannot do anything to us."
In other words, we must find the reason for the fleet's command system collapse in thirty minutes? This is really a race against time.
Looking at the energy reading of the protective shield that kept decreasing, my forehead began to sweat a little.
"Ah Jun," Sandora's voice suddenly came. "I am afraid too."
I looked over in surprise, but met Sandora's calm eyes.
"I am afraid. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of being separated from you. But I must appear calm, because if the most powerful Emperor Schilling is afraid, our army is finished. So, Ah Jun …"
Looking at the pair of blue eyes that were still calm, but I could see a trace of fear in them, I suddenly grinned. Then, I chuckled and said, "After all this time, that big thing was just charging up the main cannon to scare us. I don't believe that the Fallen Apostles, who have already been crippled by the God race, can wipe out our trump card army!"
Yes, I am afraid too. I am as afraid as Sandora. Moreover, Sandora is only afraid that death will separate us, but I am more afraid. After all, I have Shallow Shallow, my sister, Jingle, Pandora by my side … I cannot accept the loss of any one of them. But now, Sandora and I have to act nonchalant, even mocking the big spaceship that is flaunting its prowess, because we are the only people here who cannot be afraid.
Anyone with an IQ of two digits would know that this situation is definitely not a normal system malfunction. The technology of the Xiling Empire has not fallen to the level of a counterfeit mobile phone. Without a doubt, our command system has been destroyed by the enemy. But — How did they do it?
The highest control system of the entire spaceship fleet should have been perfectly protected, but it was completely destroyed before we could even react. Even simple controls like maneuvering the spaceship to evade were completely blocked. Could there be a civilization that is more powerful than the Xiling Empire in this world!?
But now, we no longer have the time to consider how the enemy broke through our control system. The urgent matter at hand is how to get the completely paralyzed spaceship fleet to move again within 30 minutes.
Xi Weisi stood on the deputy commander's seat and shouted at the operators who were in a mess. "How is it? Have you found the reason? Why is the backup power only able to last for half an hour? "
"Sir! There is still no response from the core command source! There is an unknown leakage of the backup power! "
"Damn it!"
"What exactly is this core command source?" I suddenly realized that I have been listening to a heavenly book. Beside me, Shallow Shallow and my sister also had a confused expression.
Sandora frowned and said worriedly, "It is the Bubble."
"Right now, our connection with the Bubble has been cut off." Seeing that I was still confused, Sandora explained, "The core computer of the Sky Fortress is the Bubble. At the same time, it is also the command center of the entire fleet. But just now, the continuous flow of commands from the central engine room was suddenly cut off. Even until now, we still can't contact it … I'm afraid that the enemy has already destroyed the communication channel between the central engine room and the outside world and used the Bubble as a springboard to infiltrate all the command computers in the fleet … Something like a computer virus …"
Shallow Shallow immediately said anxiously, "Then why aren't we heading to the central engine room!? The Bubble might be in danger! "
Sandora's expression was a little gloomy. She shook her head and replied, "It's useless. Because this is the central engine room …"
This is the central engine room? I looked around curiously but I couldn't find anything that could be related to that ten thousand year old otaku.
"You won't be able to find it. The central engine room uses the Plane Overlay technique. It is hidden in the same location as this command room but in a different dimension. In order to make it appear in our material plane, the only way is to distort the dimension of the command room or for the Bubble to detach itself. However, both of these operations require the participation of the Bubble. Originally, this design was to ensure the safety of the core computer, but I didn't expect the Bubble to be trapped in a parallel space."
"Plane Overlay?" I struggled to understand the technical terms that Sandora was using and then translated it into an explanation that I could understand. "In other words, the Bubble and her engine room is this hall and she is standing right beside us. However, due to the difference in dimension, we can't see each other. Right now, the Bubble's commands can't be transmitted to the external system of the Sky Fortress, so she is trapped in a parallel space, right?"
Sandora nodded.
"Isn't this design too stupid?!" I immediately exclaimed. Whose idea was this design? Once the door is locked, even the people inside can't come out. How did this stupid bug pass the Schilling Technician's review!? Could it be that the designer didn't consider what to do if there was an error in the system!?
Sandora looked at me and hesitated for a moment. Then, she said, "This Sky Fortress was temporarily modified from the Planet Rail Cannon. Although it is powerful, there will always be a loophole …"
… I understand now. At that time, it was on a whim that I wanted to modify the Planet Rail Cannon into a Sky Fortress. Now I am guilty, I repent, I am Xiao Bai …
"Although there is a loophole, the probability of it actually appearing is very small." Sandora seemed to see my unhappy expression and continued to explain, "The Schilling Mainframe's defensive measures are not as simple as a well-designed control center of the Sky Fortress. Although it doesn't look reliable normally, the Bubble is indeed an experienced senior apostle. Almost any external system intrusion can't break through the information barrier of the Bubble. Therefore, the enemy must have a more effective trump card. I'm afraid that even if we brought a savior-level Sky Fortress, it would still be invaded by them … Humph, I, Sandora, will remember this humiliation!"
As soon as Sandora's voice fell, there was a sudden strong spatial fluctuation next to us. The Asida-Asidora Twins appeared in the command room in a dazzling white light.
Why are they here? According to the previous plan, shouldn't they be stationed on Theramore Island?
Seeing the confusion on my face, Sandora explained, "Asidora and Asidora have many skills that can interfere with space. I want them to try to phase shift us. Maybe we can send us into the same dimension as the Bubble without destroying the main engine room. As for Theramore, the sisters' actions completely ignore space distance. They can arrive at any time if anything happens, so you don't have to worry."
