Chapter 258: Prepare for war!
"Boss, Miss Hera's team is about to leave the communication area. We can use the quantum communicator to maintain inefficient information transmission."
"Got it. Try to keep an eye on them in the future. It doesn't matter if you can't keep an eye on them. Focus your computing power on the Empire and the New Federation."
"clear."
The tail cabin of Dongfeng.
Yang Ming fiddled with the new high-power lightsaber he had just received, and fell into deep thought as he looked at the complicated mechanical unlocking device on the lightsaber handle.
He was about to set off for the star field where the Valkyrie's trace was found, and use the connection between himself and the Valkyrie to fight another battle with the Valkyrie who theoretically had not yet recovered her peak strength.
As for the last round, Yang Ming definitely didn’t believe it.
This time, in addition to defeating the Valkyrie, he also had to find her in vitro cell tissue. Only after burning that group of cells cleanly could Yang Ming feel at ease.
To this end, Yang Ming used Dark Star's technological means to prepare a set of "equipment" for himself in advance.
It is common sense to update your equipment before fighting the BOSS.
But……
When encountering an enemy, isn't the purpose of drawing the sword to emphasize speed?
How did Lu make a mechanical unlocking device for this new lightsaber? You still need to use your fingers to fiddle with the code to find the button to turn on the lightsaber.
Good fellow, after the sword is drawn, I have to say to the other party:
'Wait a minute, brother, let me unlock the lock first.'
Isn't this funny?
"Can't we switch to biological insurance?" Yang Ming turned his head and asked.
Lu said aggrievedly: "We have tried many times. Because the energy density of the light blade has been greatly improved, the confinement magnetic field has increased exponentially. The process level required for various precision electronic components has reached the pinnacle of the current technological level. This... We really tried our best. You can unlock it in advance and just don't press the button."
"Okay, I'll try."
Yang Ming quickly adjusted the buckle of the mechanical lock with his fingers and pressed the trigger to open the lightsaber.
Buzz——
The high-frequency vibrations made Yang Ming's palms almost numb. The white light illuminated Yang Ming's eyes. The teacups and coasters on the table and the metal parts within five meters around were suspended at the same time, as if the simulated gravity field of the spacecraft had failed.
Yang Ming tried to swing forward, and this time he felt obvious resistance.
He gripped the hilt tightly, took two steps to the side, and used his usual insect-chopping moves, swinging the lightsaber quickly.
The buzzing sound was endless.
"Give me a target."
Lu controlled the tracked robot on the side to remove its arm, attached a conventional shield generator, and threw it towards Yang Ming.
Yang Ming didn't use any strength, he just swung the lightsaber. A flash of light burst out where the mechanical arm was hit, and the protective shield was directly overloaded and ruptured.
The lightsaber cut through the mechanical arm without any hindrance, and the latter broke directly like a piece of crispy pancake.
Yang Ming asked the robot to hold an ordinary lightsaber and stand in front of it. This new lightsaber could easily cut the ordinary lightsaber.
"Not bad," Yang Ming grinned, "This is the small-sized mecha's light blade."
"In terms of energy density, it's still a little short," Lu muttered, "Dark Star's current technology can only reach this level."
Yang Ming hung the lightsaber on his waist, nodded with satisfaction, and then wondered, "Only three were produced?"
"Yes, boss. Apart from you and the Valkyrie, or some of the Empire's super-cyborgs, who else can use this kind of lightsaber?" Lu muttered, "If there is no economic benefit, no matter how good it is, it is not worth putting on the production line."
"All right."
“You can give them names.”
Yang Ming groaned for a few seconds, then said in all seriousness: "The Goddess's Happy Sword."
"laugh!"
Lu almost laughed out loud, then made a coy expression: "Boss, you are really becoming more and more indecent! Are you trying to make archaeology more difficult for human civilization thousands of years later?"
"Who are you showing this to?" Yang Ming raised his eyebrows proudly.
However, Boss Yang did not expect that... a few minutes later, the robot brought an engraving machine and engraved his name on the hilts of three new lightsabers...
The new specialized lightsabers were officially named by their owners.
Yang Ming swore to the Valkyrie that he was just joking.
In addition to the new lightsaber, Lu also brought out a complete set of combat-enhancing equipment from Dark Star.
The new exoskeleton mecha still maintains the gray-white base color, and has deliberately added traces of battle damage. It is equipped with a new combat learning chip that will collect Yang Ming's combat habits and provide Yang Ming with a more accurate auxiliary power distribution plan.
The most groundbreaking feature of the new Ghost Armor is its new material technology that originated from a research institute in the New Federation.
In addition to the lightsaber and armor, Lu also carried out a comprehensive upgrade of all accessories of Boss Yang's combat suit.
The soles of the shoes have
etc.
Except for not upgrading Yang Ming's underwear and socks, Lu arranged everything else for Yang Ming properly.
Yang Ming felt that he was not fighting the Valkyrie alone.
In fact, Yang Ming was not planning to fight the Valkyrie alone this time.
He prepared two teams of mechanical thinking bodies, stationed them in the fighting machines independently developed by Dark Star, and added two fifty-meter-class gunboats to the tail cabin and the external hangar below the Dongfeng.
The last battle has proved that the Ghost Mecha can only exert limited strength when facing the Valkyrie.
This time, Yang Ming was not planning to use mechas to fight the Valkyrie again. The Evil Ghost and Red Ghost mechas made room for two drone attack systems.
Twelve square silver-white boxes were neatly arranged, loaded with 600 attack drones, half of which were suicide drones equipped with military antimatter bombs.
For this antimatter bomb, Lu paid more than 200 million New Federation coins.
This is the maximum firepower they can get now.
In addition to these, some automatic anti-biological cannons were also installed on the outside of the Dongfeng.
The last time Yang Ming fought against the Valkyrie, Lu had already collected a lot of data related to the Valkyrie, and this time he would ensure that the firepower advantage of the Dongfeng could be maximized.
"What's missing?"
Yang Ming stood in the tail cabin with his hands on his waist, looking left and right, thinking constantly.
You only have one life, and you will never have enough firepower.
The Valkyrie's crown and the regular cavities that appeared underground both indicated that the Valkyrie had helpers behind her. Yang Ming had to be extra careful and cautious.
"Boss," 026 complained, "With what we have now, if we were to launch a surprise attack on the capital star of a medium-sized country, it would be enough to flatten the core area of their city."
"What do you know," Yang Ming muttered, "Is it impossible for the Valkyrie to obtain a battleship?"
"Uh, this..."
Yang Ming thought about it carefully.
Should he take two battleships into the Empire? Anyway, the Empire is now gathering troops at the border, so it must be empty inside. The desolate star field they are going to does not have many probes.
"Lü, can we buy the New Federation's series of battleships on the black market?"
"Not any time soon."
Lu's forehead was covered with black lines, and he whispered:
"Boss, if we meet the Valkyrie this time, I am sure I won't let her touch the corner of your clothes."
"Come on, in the end you have to rely on yourself for everything."
Yang Ming sighed softly:
"Check the sniper guns in the cabin again. Check every point. Make sure there is enough firepower to deal with the Valkyrie boarding."
Lu and 026 looked at each other and both looked dejected.
"Hurry up! The longer we wait, the lower the chance of finding the Valkyrie there!"
"Yes! Boss!"
…
"Very good, everyone is here, let's start the meeting now."
Yaha Star Super Kaizen Training Center, underground conference room.
Director Riva, dressed in the Imperial military uniform, made a rare appearance and sat in the main seat of the conference room, with the faintly shining Imperial Star logo behind him. On both sides of the conference table were eight carefully selected super transformer captains.
Catherine is located to the left of Director Riva.
"I believe you have all received the news. The war is about to begin. Although the exact time is still uncertain, it is estimated to be in the next few days."
Director Ruiwa's expression was somewhat solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"We the Super Reformers will deploy most of our forces this time. Part of our forces will be used to protect the Supervisory Corps sent by the Council of Elders, and part of our forces, that is, everyone present here, will have the honor of appearing in the escort formation of a special flagship. Your Stinger has now completed maintenance.
"This is a matter of great responsibility and cannot afford any mistakes. It concerns the future destiny of the empire.
"Do you understand what I said?"
Everyone nodded.
A sturdy man with eyes that seemed to be burning with fire asked in a deep voice: "Are we responsible for protecting His Majesty the Emperor?"
"You are just one part of the security system," Director Riva said seriously, "but you must keep your eyes open and never slack off. Next, you will be divided into four groups, with two groups taking shifts. Also, Catherine, I have transferred Bly away alone, and he cannot participate in this job."
"Yes, I understand." Catherine nodded slightly, "We can't let him have direct contact with any high-ranking officials in the empire."
Director Ruiwa asked: "What are your ideas? Please share them."
The eight captains looked at each other, and none of us had any objections.
Catherine asked, "Isn't it too dangerous for Your Majesty to go to war in person?"
Director Riva said: "This military operation will be one of the top ten military operations since the founding of the Empire. We cannot underestimate the power of the New Federation. It and its more than 30 vassal states have formed a strong defense line. We, under the watchful eyes of all humans in the galaxy, can only win, and we must win beautifully."
Catherine still didn't quite understand: "But, Director, can His Majesty's guards play a vital role?"
Director Ruiwa didn't know how to point this out, but a buddy beside him laughed:
“Your Majesty also needs a historical position. Among the emperors of the empire generation after generation, except for the great Levi Sherman, how many of them have been remembered by later generations?
"This declaration of all-out war represents a clash between the two major camps in the Milky Way, and is likely to change the course of the Milky Way's history. Your Majesty personally taking charge of the command will naturally become a significant chapter in the history of the Milky Way."
Catherine shook her head and smiled bitterly.
She didn't think about it at all.
Director Ruiwa scolded: "Watch your mouths. Don't tell anyone about these things after you leave this door."
"Don't worry, Director."
"Now I will arrange the grouping and task flow."
Catherine listened to Director Riva's "nagging" for a while, and after receiving her own grouping order, she stared at the network access terminal in a daze.
She sent a bunch of messages to someone these days, and all of them are unread.
A woman who called herself "Hanton's Assistant" sent her a few photos, all of which were pictures of Yang Ming in the medical cabin, as well as the real-time data of the medical cabin.
His body has a strong self-healing ability, and he should be fine now.
According to the assistant, he had been fighting the queen continuously, releasing mental shocks, which caused his brain to crash a bit...
Well, that's about it.
I'm glad that everyone is okay.
"Katherine...Katherine?"
"Yeah, I'm here."
"Has White Ghost contacted you?" Director Riva asked softly.
Catherine did not hide it and shared those photos that Lu had carefully designed, and took the initiative to explain: "He has structural damage to his brain, and it is slowly recovering."
"Then he will miss this opportunity to earn military merit."
Director Riva shook her head, then frowned at Catherine.
Structural brain damage...Isn't this really an insult?
"How did you get along before? Catherine? I mean, the relationship between non-captains and team members."
Catherine thought about it carefully and said, "It's okay."
"That's good," Director Riva said, "You should be careful not to let this powerful Ancient God Transformer fall into the control of the military, otherwise the elders will definitely be unhappy."
Catherine curled her lips slightly, pretending not to hear anything, and did not agree to anything.
Catherine became extremely busy over the next two days.
As the team leader, she is responsible for training team members, allocating resources, making preparations before the war, and maintaining confidentiality.
Bligh was picked up early, and Catherine didn't know what his specific mission was.
And Catherine always felt that Bly was acting strange recently. His personality was less gloomy and cruel, and more sunny and bright, as if he had become much gentler.
Of course, Catherine did not delve into this issue too deeply, after all, Bly was moving in the direction of "goodness".
Late September of the year 731 in the Imperial calendar.
Catherine led her team and, together with seven other teams, piloted eight Stinger ships to a secret space station on the border of the empire.
The space station is a makeshift structure suspended in a synchronous orbit around a gas planet.
When they arrived, there were already thousands of warships gathered here. Catherine stood at the porthole and looked out. She could clearly see that these warships were divided into six combat groups. Six dreadnoughts that were thousands of meters long were ready to go.
The number of dreadnoughts in the Empire is naturally a secret.
Catherine discovered that among these six dreadnoughts, four were models that had not appeared in the previous sniper attack on the sixth-level queen.
Eight Stinger ships were incorporated into the core escort fleet.
The target they are guarding is rather special; it is a giant battleship made up of twelve square-shaped spaceships connected in series.
This is the Empire's industrial ship, which can be deployed to form a dock at any time and is a mobile military factory.
One or two such giant warships can be seen in each battle group, but their models are different and their main focus is also different, either focusing on production or on ship maintenance and repair.
When the Empire dispatched industrial ships to improve the logistics and supply systems, it meant that according to the Empire's plan, the war would not end soon.
Will that huge fortress appear?
Catherine thought so.
She habitually opened the communicator and took a look, only to remember that communications in this airspace had been blocked.
She looked up out the window and saw a new batch of warships arriving here, lost in thought.
At the same time, somewhere on the border of the Sherman Empire, the Dongfeng quietly appeared, quickly crossed the border and entered the territory of the Sherman Empire, continuing its continuous jumps.
