The ship that took in Ke Lan and the others was a "Bronze Hammer" class autonomous supply ship... The so-called "autonomous supply ship" is actually a small unmanned airship. When cruising, it is usually controlled by AI to follow the formation. Of course, when necessary, it can also be remotely controlled by other warships to perform tasks that AI cannot do - such as blocking bullets for the main battleship that is under concentrated fire, or loading it with explosives to launch a suicide attack on the target, etc.

The cost of this type of unmanned ship is generally relatively cheap, only about one-sixth of the light warship of the same level, but it is highly expandable and can obtain corresponding functions by installing different modules. For example, the one that Ke Lan and his companions boarded is a maintainable type equipped with an emergency repair platform, which can repair damaged friendly ships in the air.

"Fortunately, it's not a meat-shield type equipped with heavy armor and shields, or a special attack type filled with explosives... If it's that kind of unmanned ship, I would rather stay on the transport plane." The Hound jumped out of the cabin and glanced at the surveillance camera flashing blue light in the corner of the containment cabin - this meant that someone was watching them at this moment.

However, what surprised them was that, apart from asking them to be on standby on the unmanned ship, the First Fleet did not impose any restrictions on them. Except for the power compartment and the engine room of the main control core, all the compartments on the unmanned ship were open to them, and even the door of the bridge was not locked.

The "unmanned" in unmanned ship means it is unmanned, but inside the ship, there are still living facilities for the crew. Hound filled a glass of water from the water dispenser nearby, and then sat down on a sofa that was flipped down from the bulkhead.

"It seems that the assumed target of the First Fleet's operation this time is undoubtedly Leviathan." Ke Lan looked out through the porthole and saw that the First Fleet had changed from a double-row cruising formation to an arrow attack formation and was slowly approaching Leviathan. Hundreds of fighter jets flew out from the flagship "Yao" class aircraft carrier battleship and arrived above Leviathan first.

"The fight has begun!" Layton said excitedly. As a weapons enthusiast, he had been in a state of high excitement since the First Fleet appeared in his field of vision. His shining eyes were like those of an old pervert who was watching countless beauties passing by...

"This wave should just be reconnaissance." Ke Lan said. He saw that the nearly 100 fighter jets dispersed after flying over Leviathan and headed for the eight mining bases on the back of Leviathan. Before carrying out a covering attack, they had to confirm whether there were any survivors who had not escaped from the back of Leviathan.

"Let's go to the bridge. The view over there is better." Layton opened the hatch leading to the bridge and waved to everyone.

…

The fighter jets responsible for reconnaissance circled over Leviathan, gathered together, and flew back towards the fleet.

"This is probably because they found no trace of survivors and are preparing to come back to load heavy ground-to-ground weapons." Layton explained to everyone.

But at this moment, something strange happened!

A dazzling red beam of light suddenly shot out from the back of Leviathan, directly cutting the returning fighter formation in half!

"boom!!"

There were continuous explosions, and nearly a dozen fighter jets were blown up by this sudden attack - but that was not the end, the red light column actually turned around again, and the fighter jets that were swept by it turned into fireballs!

"Shit! What is this?" Layton's eyes widened - not only him, but everyone else also felt cold sweat running down their spines... No one expected that Leviathan would have such a long-range attack method. If this trick had been used before, the vertical take-off and landing aircraft they were riding would never have been able to dodge it!

"Leviathan hasn't even fully resurrected yet, but it's already capable of launching this kind of attack?" Ke Lan was full of doubts, but before he could say anything, the large screen in the center of the bridge lit up.

Ke Lan glanced at the number in the upper right corner of the screen. The source of the video signal was the "Yao" class aircraft carrier battleship, the flagship of the First Fleet.

"It's the real-time surveillance video shared by the entire fleet! Holy shit... is this... a death ray cannon?!" Layton took a look at the screen and exclaimed in surprise.

In a red "valley" where the rock layer had completely fallen off, countless red flesh worms gathered together to form a structure shaped like a gun barrel. The red beam of light that had just shot down dozens of fighter jets was emitted from this gun barrel.

"No, that's not right!" But Layton quickly shook his head and denied his previous judgment. "Although the appearance is exactly the same as the death ray cannon, it is impossible for Leviathan to store antimatter, otherwise it would have been annihilated long ago... It should be an energy weapon... The energy source is the huge amount of crystal ore in its body..."

The dark red light lit up again in the muzzle, but this time the fighter formation had been warned, and the originally dense formation was instantly broken up, and they began to use onboard weapons to fight back.

Another beam of light swept across, but this time, it only shot down two fighters.

"This...this can't be an energy shield, right?" Layton exclaimed once again - he saw a dark red light curtain rising around the "cannon" made of flesh and blood, and the laser cannons fired by the fighter jets hit the light curtain, causing wave after wave of ripples, but not a single shot could penetrate the light curtain and damage the cannon body below.

"These bugs... can they even simulate energy shields?" Ke Lan couldn't help but clench his fists... He couldn't help but think of the mimicry fungi he encountered on the way to Leviathan, but the problem was... the mimicry fungi were just mimicry, "only appearance, but no substance". Even if the mimicry fungi were made to simulate the appearance of a death ray cannon, they did not have the ability to fire... But these bugs were different, not only could they simulate the appearance, but even the corresponding functions could be replicated almost perfectly.

In just a few dozen seconds, several huge cannons "grew" out from the Leviathan. When these huge cannons fired at the same time, the intersecting beams of light instantly formed a huge net in the air, covering the fighter jets!

Dozens of fighter planes that had just completed a dive attack had just pulled up their noses, and before they could even see clearly what was happening, they crashed directly into the giant net - with just one salvo, the number of remaining fighter planes was reduced by half!
