The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 104： chasing and fleeing
Chapter 104 Chasing and Escaping

An earth-shattering doomsday light made a lonely, not even a single hair shed, which was obviously beyond the expectation of the mechanical ascension body.

But what surprised Li Qing even more was that after this thing took back some of its T-slot weapons, its IQ had a qualitative change.

After Li Qing used inexplicable means to collect the doomsday light, he obviously paused for a while, then ignored some body structures behind that had not been retracted, and directly flew into the void, and just ran away.

Li Qing immediately ordered:

”Catch up.”

The fleet quickly converged, and space fighters rushed into the open black hole.

The seemingly unusually prosperous mechanical planet below quickly collapsed after the mechanical ascendant left, including the half-disabled Star Fortress, all of which turned into light and gradually disappeared.

Obviously, the target of his quest chain is indeed this mechanical ascender.

Although I don’t know how he got mixed up with this anomaly, or that this anomaly should be based on this mechanical ascendant, when he gave up everything and left, this anomaly collapsed and disappeared naturally.

It took almost ten minutes to recover all the fighter planes and nearby wreckage. At this time, the mechanical ascendant had already disappeared into the depths of the starry sky, but the golden spaceship-like token in Li Qing’s hand was flickering, and the coordinates recorded on it were move quickly.

”You can’t run away.”

The fleet quickly sailed into the starry sky, and chased after it at an extremely fast speed.

It didn’t take long for streamers to escape into the starry sky, and the fleet entered a state of superluminal speed and disappeared, leaving only a barren satellite that continued to rotate, as if the war just now had never happened.

Two hours later, the fleet broke away from the sublight speed and appeared in a strange starry sky.

Li Qing checked the golden spaceship token for the first time, and it showed that the mechanical ascender’s coordinates were no longer in this galaxy.

”Check nearby wormholes.”

A large number of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft scattered, and soon discovered a wormhole located on the edge of the galaxy’s gravitational well, and Li Yuan quickly assembled a fleet and drove over.

After more than ten minutes of preparation, the fleet disappeared as the turbulent energy ring exploded.

Half an hour later, the fleet passed through the hyperspace channel between wormholes and appeared in another strange galaxy that had never been before.

As soon as he came out of the wormhole, he saw the warning red light in the bridge. Before he had time to check the surrounding situation, Li Qing subconsciously opened the door of the black hole to protect his position near his command ship. In less than ten seconds, he felt A ray of doomsday light penetrates the black hole to the universe in the palm.

”I’m holding it!”

Li Qing was very surprised:

”Is this thing so cunning?”

They would sneak attack at the moment they passed through the wormhole.

It was only ten seconds, and the normal fleet could not react when it passed through.

If there is no universe in the palm to block the gun, the gun will lose at least one battleship. Even if the battleship is sideways, the gun can directly penetrate the battleship and then affect another battleship behind.

One shot missed, and the mechanical ascension body turned around and ran away without hesitation. Without Li Qing’s order, Li Yuan immediately ordered the fleet to catch up.

At the same time, all the main guns of the battleship locked on the target and began to recharge, and twenty-three neutron light spears blasted out after ten seconds.

Half an hour later, they had already appeared in another void, one of them was chasing after another.

Occasionally the former suddenly stopped and backhanded a wave of particle light spears, but all attacks were swallowed by a pitch-black abyss.

The shield of the mechanical ascension battle body is very strong, and it is stronger than before after supplementing a part of itself. The fire-focused shields of the 23 battleships are still motionless, and it is estimated that he may not be able to break through even ten waves.

And Li Qing, who was completely unable to enter the state of the mechanical ascension body, didn’t even have time to study a small part of the mechanical ascension body that was swallowed by the universe in his palm before, and now he was concentrating on biting his opponent to prevent him from escaping.

In the state of constant attack, the opponent couldn’t forcibly leap away for a while, and the two sides entangled back and forth in this galaxy for almost a week, and no one could do anything about it.

This super mechanical ascension body is too hard. Not only is the shield armor thick, but the recovery speed is also very fast. It takes less than half an hour to fully recover from a wave of neutron lance main gun fire.

”I can’t go on like this.”

I can’t catch it all the time, this thing seems to take a long time, he doesn’t have that much time to spend.

Although there are still two years before the next major operation of the expeditionary force, it does not mean that he has time to wander around, and he still has a lot of things to do.

Shipbuilding.

Scientific research.

make money.

It will take time, and now being dragged here, I can’t do anything except brush some naval command skills.

But it’s even worse to give up. This guy is a beast with extraordinary fighting power. If he can catch it, he can rebuild the underlying code like the mechanical core No. 0 before, and he will be a powerful subordinate.

More importantly, this thing is the goal of the fourth step of this quest chain. If you can’t grab it, you can’t go on to the next step.

So no matter how you look at it, you have to catch it.

”Or try this?”

An immature idea appeared in Li Qing’s mind.

Half an hour later, after blocking the next wave of counterattacks, they did not counterattack a wave of attacks as usual, but continued to chase.

There was a brief pause in the salvo of the main guns when there was no counterattack, and the fleet quickly narrowed the distance.

Then, Li Qing suddenly closed his eyes, stretched out his finger, and suddenly opened a black hole in the direction that the mechanical ascension body was advancing, rapidly expanding to a diameter of 30 kilometers, and the mechanical ascension body hit it hard by surprise. The surface of the black hole ripples like a layer of black light.

This is because of the strong repulsion of this mechanical ascension body. It is a door for those who do not resist, but it is a trap for those with strong hostility and repulsion.

Although the mechanical ascension body’s strong repulsion did not slam into the door, but there was an unavoidable pause. Just as he climbed nimbly and was about to cross the door of the black hole with a diameter of only 30 kilometers, Li Qing stood up, with eyes in his eyes. Psychic energy overflows.

Taking a step forward, the person has left the bridge and appeared in the starry sky, covered by a circle of strong spiritual energy.

I saw him stretch out his finger, and a circle of transparent ripples suddenly appeared in front of the door of the black hole. In the next second, countless ripples swayed in the void within a radius of more than ten kilometers, followed by a strong silver light.

Psionic Storm!

Multiple psykers mix powerful psychic energy with strong spiritual will, directly interfering with the real material universe, which is very restrained and harmful to electronics and precision machinery.

Under the strangulation of the spiritual energy storm, the energy shield on the surface of the mechanical ascension body began to shake violently as if it was about to burst, and its flight speed and flexibility were greatly affected.

But the strength of the mechanical ascension body was stronger than he had imagined, and it unexpectedly protruded out of the range of the psychic storm against the strong psychic storm, and then ran away without looking back.

”Insufficient strength!”

Li Qing returned to the command ship, pondered a little, then turned and entered the black hole gate.

When he reappeared, he was followed by eleven servants of light, three physicists, three sociobiologists, and five engineers. Among them, Zhu Yunlong, a biologist, was just enlightened. servant.

All servants of light are psychics, with a basic psychic strength of around 100,000, and can continue to improve.

Among so many servants of light, Li Yuan, who was the first to be enlightened, had reached about 130,000 psychic power at this time, slightly stronger than Li Qing.

It is worth mentioning that the strength of the servant of light will continue to recover as the universe in the palm gradually recovers.

Because the essence of the true servant of light is immortal, not only the lifespan is immortal, but the essence of life is immortal, and the strength of its spiritual power is also immortal.

This immortality is a realm of power, an immortal-level psyker, and an immortal-level gene primarch.

That is to say, the more the universe in the palm is repaired, the faster their strength will grow until they reach immortality.

Including Li Yuan, a total of twelve servants of light were summoned, with the purpose of borrowing their power.

When he used the psychic storm just now, he found that the psychic storm was indeed effective for this mechanical ascension body. It can be clearly seen that his speed has slowed down and is not as flexible as before, but his psychic power is not strong enough to completely trap it.

Now gather all the psychic saints and gather their strength to gather a psychic strength of up to 1.5 million. I believe it will have a huge impact on this mechanical ascension body.

However, Li Qing soon discovered an embarrassing situation.

It is estimated that after the mechanical ascension body discovered that he was a not weak psyker, the next thing he wanted to do was run away without looking back.

Before chasing, he turned around from time to time to launch a wave of concentrated fire sneak attacks, but now he didn’t do that, he just focused on running for his life, relying on the speed of the mechanical ascension body, he wasted another ten minutes in summoning the psychic saints, and the fleet couldn’t do anything for a while. catch up.

Two days later, Li Qing had to send all the servants of light back to the universe in the palm of their hands. They were all busy with work, and it was a waste of time to stay outside.

Time flies, unknowingly, a month later, he unknowingly chased more than 20 galaxies behind the mechanical ascension body, and he didn’t even touch the shadow during the period. lost.

Another day, the fleet passed through the wormhole and appeared in an unfamiliar galaxy. After confirming that there was no ambush at the entrance of the wormhole, Li Qing checked the token for the first time, and was surprised to find that the beacon was no longer moving.

He was surprised:

”Can’t you run anymore?”

Happily sent the coordinates to Li Yuan, and the fleet quickly sailed towards the stopped coordinates.

After a short sublight speed, the fleet broke away from the sublight speed and appeared in an uninhabited starry sky. Li Qing checked the beacon again and found that it was still not moving.

A large group of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft dispersed, and it didn’t take long to receive a response from the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. The coordinates on the screen turned out to be a pirate base built on a small satellite. The total number of leading pirate fleets is about one thousand.

”I will still do this!”

Li Qing wanted to laugh for no reason.

Not to mention how the mechanical ascendant got into this anomaly. After being chased for so long, doesn’t he know that his coordinates have been controlled by the pursuers?

”It’s not right, it should be because I want to stop myself with this.”

As the fleet gradually approaches the coordinate location, the pirate base on the small satellite can already be seen.

The detection range of normal pirate wild monsters is not far away, but this time it is estimated that due to the influence of the mechanical ascender, he was spotted from a long distance. There was a commotion in the pirate base, and the fleet stationed in the pirate base took the initiative to greet him.

Li Qing pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said to Li Yuan:

”Destroy it head-on!”

”Your will is mine!”

The fleet quickly spread out to meet them. Li Qing stretched out his hand, the black hole opened, and space fighter jets flew out to attack the pirates.

A total of 100,000 space fighters spanned thousands of kilometers. With the addition of absolute technological level and servants of light, less than 2,000 pirate fleets were wiped out as quickly as moths to a flame, and the fleet rushed towards the pirate fleet without any pause.

When the fleet and the pirate fleet entered the range of engagement, more than a hundred pirate gunboats had already been submerged by the fleet.

The gap is so big that two space fighters can defeat a pirate gunboat head-on.

When the main guns of the sixteen main battleships of the pirates began to charge, the main guns of Li Qing’s main battleship had already started the second round of charging, and fired earlier before the main guns of the pirate fleet attacked for the first time.

Two rounds of concentrated fire successfully destroyed the shield and armor of a main pirate battleship, and part of the hull structure was also torn apart, paralyzed on the spot in space and unable to continue fighting.

At this time, a bunch of space fighters pounced on it like sharks smelling fishy.

As soon as the two sides contacted, they formed a comprehensive suppression of the pirate fleet.

The mechanical ascension body that has been mixed in the pirate fleet did not make a move. When the two sides were fully engaged in the battle, they directly sold their teammates and turned around and ran away.

Obviously, he didn’t want to rely on the pirate fleet to repel Li Qing in this abnormal pirate base at all, but wanted them to hold Li Qing back and buy himself a longer escape time.

Various interference acceleration and deceleration halo effects, even if you want to get rid of it with super fast speed, it will take a certain amount of time.

Even if it is not much, it is enough for him to escape a certain distance.

However, Li Qing guessed that the purpose of this mechanical ascendant should not be simply delaying time. way out.

Small-scale interception is not enough, what if it is a more powerful anomalous fleet?

Following exactly the same process as before, the Mechanical Ascendant took a short time to escape and quickly fled the galaxy.

Li Qing also chased after him as before. Anyway, he kept chasing him until the end of time, and he couldn’t believe that he couldn’t find a chance to stop him.

Five days later, they traveled through a wormhole to another galaxy.

The fleet stopped at the entrance of the wormhole for a while, Li Qing looked at the fixed coordinates, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:

”Let me see where you are hiding this time.”

With an order, a large number of unmanned reconnaissance flew in the designated direction.

About five hours later, the fleet that was rushing over received a picture from the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

However, when he saw the picture detected by the unmanned reconnaissance plane, Li Qing opened his mouth slightly and exclaimed:

”Fuck!”

What appeared in front of him was a huge fleet beyond his imagination, slowly cruising in the cold starry sky.
