This is not mechanical ascension. - Chapter 293

Chapter 292 Thousands of main guns? what to do…

There was silence in the command room, the bright fireworks on the screen gradually extinguished, and the remnants of the Judge fleet of the Judge civilization fled in a hurry.

The combined fleet began to clear the battlefield, and various small spacecraft filed out of the main ship’s hangar.

“It’s amazing…” Li Ming exhaled slowly. Only An Ye could bear such a dense torrent of energy.

The division of main battle fleets of advanced civilizations is more detailed. Specialized bombing ships carry main ship-level energy turrets and are specially used for energy attacks.

After all, there are no invisible rules of the universe that force only main ships to install powerful turrets.

It’s just that other facilities are not as good as the main ship, such as defensive shields or sailing speed.

For this kind of ambush, the joint shield has been deployed long ago. The energy shield in the camp is more than ten meters thick. It is impossible for ordinary shelling to break through it.

“Roughly estimated, this is only one-third of the combined fleet’s firepower.” Ulrich said with lingering fear: “In terms of main ship-level energy cannons alone, they are probably no less than a thousand.”

“Thousands of main guns, it’s really… frightening.” Li Ming said in a deep voice, which sounded scary, but of course it was actually very scary.

Battleships, main ships, and main guns are not like living things.

Life forms need to develop their potential to a certain level in order to become A-level.

As long as you have technology and materials, these things can be accumulated over time. For advanced civilizations, they can be said to be of high quality and low price. This is also the advantage of cluster warfare.

If advanced civilizations did not have such suppression methods, those A-level life forms that committed serious crimes would not go to the Red River Star to hang out.

Ulrich paused. For some reason, he didn’t hear fear in Qinglong’s tone, but some expectation?

His heart tightened, and he couldn’t help but add: “There is also the subspace folding fortress, that is Asmara’s trump card.”

Li Ming remained silent, and the others did not speak. Monroe added: “If we fight head-on, the possibility of us breaking in is infinitely close to zero, and the probability of death is over 95%.”

“Fighting head-on?” Li Ming shook his head subconsciously, but suddenly noticed the silent atmosphere around him and couldn’t help but be speechless, “You don’t think I want to rush in head-on, do you?”

“Isn’t this seeking death? Am I that stupid?”

Hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Logically speaking, normal people would not think of rushing in head-on, but in their minds, Qinglong was not a normal person.

“Then how do we get in touch with the core ruins?” Jesiah couldn’t help but ask, “With this level of firepower network, even with the assistance of Mr. An Ye, we may not be able to break into it.”

“If we can find a way to sneak into it, there is still a possibility.” Ulrich said, this is also the weakness of fleet-level operations. Once advanced life forms break into the fleet, no matter how many fleets there are, they can only be paralyzed.

Energy attacks cannot turn around and identify friends and foes. If you fire randomly within the camp, you will suffer heavy losses.

But the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the specifics will depend on temporary response methods.

“But the combined fleet is not without A-class life forms.” Jesiah added.

“An Ye will not take action.” Li Ming shook his head, his eyes flickering, “As for how to get in…”

A-level life forms are next, but the key lies in the S-level life forms that Ford mentioned.

Everyone else’s expressions were a little heavy, and even Sandro, who had always been reckless, had nothing to say at this moment.

If he were thrown into the torrent of energy just now, not even the dregs would be left.

“There’s actually nothing good about this core ruins.” Sandro, who was now standing next to the metal wall, scratched his head in embarrassment.

“Are you scared?” Benny couldn’t help but said, a little impatiently.

“You don’t have the right to say anything, go away.” Sandro said angrily, “You have forgotten how scared I was before? You are not afraid, just go on your own.”

Benny ignored him and just looked at Qinglong.

“Don’t worry, it’s still early, isn’t it? Let’s go back and rest first.” Li Ming did not comment or discuss the next battle plan, so he asked everyone to go back alone.

The ambush battle was still vivid in their minds. Everyone felt a little heavy and had no desire to speak, so they returned individually.

But he himself found the dark night without stopping, and found a secluded place. After sitting down, he got straight to the point:

“Your Excellency Anye, I may need to disappear for a few days, so I’ll let you know in advance,”

“Disappear?” An Ye frowned, “Where are you going?”

“We are preparing to implement a secret plan, but don’t worry, it won’t take too long.” Li Ming emphasized.

“Well…” An Ye pondered, obviously resisting this proposal.

After all the materials were bought, Qinglong was about to leave temporarily. Although it was unlikely that he would run away with the money, he had to let him think about it.

“Do you have to leave?” he asked, already expressing his attitude.

“We have to leave, the matter is urgent.” Li Ming’s attitude was also very firm, and then he said tactfully: “Actually, I don’t need to tell you in advance at all.”

An Ye frowned slightly. It was indeed true. The day after Qinglong saw him, he improved his camouflage equipment and was even able to converge his information state.

This also caused him to be unable to grasp the location of Qinglong in real time. If the other party left quietly, he might not be able to find it.

“Well, I can put my combat mecha on top of you, or something else…” Li Ming went further.

An Ye pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, “Forget it, you just need to give me a deadline.”

Li Ming said quickly: “You will see me again within half a month at most. I will find a way to make up for the missing time and will not delay repairing your weapon.”

“Okay.” An Ye nodded reluctantly, he had already given Qinglong a lot of face.

Not only because of these few words, but also because of the mechanical body that arrived not long ago. He also found out during this period that it was actually a mechanical transformation body eroded by the nano-curse.

But it has been repaired to a great extent. It is a nano-curse.

An Ye knew clearly in his heart that it was impossible for the great mechanic to repair the nano-curse. Since Qinglong had the level of a star-casting mechanic, there was no need to deceive him.

After finishing An Ye, Li Ming left in a hurry without saying a few words.

………

At the same time, on the top floor of the majestic interstellar fortress, Asmara stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the ambush fleet that returned like a long steel dragon.

She wears exquisite close-fitting combat armor, which is not bulky. Instead, it outlines her figure and adds a bit of heroic appearance.

“Antonio is here much faster than I thought…” Her voice was cold. Although she had won a great victory, it was not a good thing for her coordinates to be leaked.

They have now become targets. Although they are very strong targets, they cannot withstand the hidden arrows fired from all directions.

Many commanders in the rear perform their duties, and various orders are passed from here to the entire combined fleet in an orderly manner.

A moment later, footsteps hurriedly sounded from behind. It was Ford, with a strange expression on his face and a bit of incomprehension.

“Your Highness…” Ford whispered, Asmara didn’t even turn around, just asked: “Are you sure?”

“It has been determined that it was Antonio who leaked the coordinate information to Qinglong.” Ford responded in a low voice.

“Sure enough.” Asmara was not surprised at all. She seemed to have already guessed it. Her voice was cold and calm, “Tell me, what exactly does Li Ming want to do?”

Ford was slightly shocked, “I don’t know about this…”

In the past, although Asmara knew the source of his information, she never revealed it. She didn’t know what happened today.

“Qinglong is his teacher and a star-casting mechanic. He has various methods. Why does he keep leaking information about his teacher?” Asmara seemed to be talking to himself.

“That’s because I exchanged other news with him…” Fud cursed.

However, Asmara seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and continued: “The transaction is just a starting point. If you don’t have the idea of ​​​​selling out, you will not trade information, just like you.”

Ford felt horrified and suddenly became alarmed. It seemed that this was indeed the case. The reason why he traded top-secret information with Li Ming without any scruples.

It was because he no longer had any awe and admiration for Asmara, his father, and even the Etlan civilization.

So what did Li Ming go through to be able to trade with him without any scruples?

He had thought about this issue before, but did not delve into it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Asmara waving her hand, Ford nodded, and left silently.

Asmara walked straight to the small room in the command room. After closing the door, she opened the smart terminal as if to contact someone.

After a long time, a voice came from the smart terminal, “Do you believe me?”

“Cornet…” Asmara spat out an astonishing name, her eyes were cold: “You are right, the coordinates were indeed leaked to Antonio by Qinglong.”

“Then why are you hesitating? You still don’t believe me? He played me like that and caused the Torch to suffer heavy losses. Do I still need to lie to you?” Cornette said coldly.

“Release those people captured last time, and I can tell you Li Ming’s whereabouts.”

“It can’t be a trap.” Asmara was very wary.

Cornette sneered: “Trap? If I’m talking about revealing Qinglong’s whereabouts, it might be a trap, but that’s a student, a C, no… B-level life form.”

“You can capture him easily without even using an A-level life form. I have tried so hard just to trap and kill you B-level life forms. Do you think it’s reasonable?”

Asmara frowned, that was indeed the case. After all, with Li Ming’s strength, even if he wanted to be just in case, he would send at most one A-level life form to support him.

In this current situation, does it make sense to trap and kill an A-level life form of theirs that is not a direct descendant of Etlan?

Wait… Asmara’s heart palpitated, “What are you talking about, Li Ming is a B-level life form!?”

“Are you surprised…”

“How is this possible…” Asmara murmured, “When he left Blue Star, he was obviously just a D-class life form. How long has it been…”

As he said that, Asmara’s eyes suddenly glowed with blazing flames, “How high is his development potential?”

She was not asking Cornette, but herself.

“Okay, I promise you, when I capture Li Ming, I will release those prisoners.” Asmara said solemnly.

“Put half of it first.” Cornette further said.

“Okay.” Asmara nodded decisively.

“Li Ming will appear on the “Luxury Wine Fleet” in three days.” Cornit said, ending the communication without giving Asmara a chance to ask further questions.

“Luxury wine fleet?” Asmara frowned, and a little excitement could not be suppressed in her amber eyes.

She turned her head to look at the center of the combined fleet, the diamond-shaped virtual body flashing with a brilliant blue color, and suddenly realized.

I am afraid that what she has gained is not just the core ruins.

………

Dong! Ka! Bang!

The harsh music is like a surging wave, one after another.

The colorful lights shine down from all over the ceiling, and the dance floor is mixed with various unspeakable smells. Even with a high-powered air purifier, it is difficult to purify the smells emitted by various cosmic races with strong body odors.

Li Ming frowned, not liking this atmosphere very much, passing by various strange and crazy twisting life forms.

Suddenly, he stopped, and a silky and sticky black tentacle fell out from under the short skirt of a female life form that looked like a spotted leopard. The leopard ears on the top of the head were very tight, and then a long groan came out.

The owner of the tentacle is a black lime, whose limbs are like tentacles, which can be extended freely, and wearing a decent suit.

Li Ming’s mouth twitched, and he carefully walked past these people and finally came to the bar, where it was finally quiet.

“One cup…” Li Ming took out a silver coin with a wine barrel printed on it, pressed it on the table, looked at the wine list, and said in a deep voice: “Breath of Flame…”

“Okay…” The bartender wearing multiple auxiliary prostheses quickly turned around.

Li Ming’s eyes were scattered. There were many gathering places along the Red River Star Stream, which were basically a paradise for chaos.

Such places sounded domineering, but in fact, the potential risks were not small. Because they could not move, they could easily become a place for a certain emerging force of civilization or a new noble to brush merit.

Only the movable Star Land has developed better.

In order to avoid this risk, there are also many gathering places in the Red River Star Stream that have been in a state of movement.

The Luxury Wine Fleet is one of them. It consists of more than 150 warships. Its owner is an A-level life form known as “Wine Beauty”.

The most peculiar thing is that the warships have basically removed the fire control components, leaving only the thrusters and the enhanced energy generation devices.

After the Red River Star Stream tidal period arrived, the Luxury Wine Fleet even sold the “Star Stream Ticket” at a sky-high price.

Within 20 days, the Luxury Wine Fleet will go deep into the core area of ​​the Red River Star Stream to experience a variety of interstellar wonders that have never been seen before.

In addition to the distinguished guests who bought the Star Stream Ticket, there are also many explorers and scavengers who come to take a short rest or indulge.

This uses a kind of “Luxury Wine Coin”, one thousand star coins per piece, which can be used anywhere such as casinos, bars, and red-light districts.

“Guest, your fiery breath…” A cup of red liquid like magma was placed in a special slender wine glass and brought to him.

Li Ming picked up the wine glass, looked at it for a while, opened his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp. It was hot and fiery, like magma passing through his throat.

“Guest!” The bartender was shocked, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person in front of him did not change his face.
