Chapter 259: The Final Round with the Valkyrie
Drop, drop, drop…
The slight sound emitted by the biometric information shielding device distracted Yang Ming's attention slightly.
Inevitably, he was a little nervous.
Even though the preparations this time were sufficient, Yang Ming still felt a little unsure.
The Dongfeng has arrived at the target airspace and is following behind several exploration ships of the Mollymiss Mining Company, gradually narrowing the search range.
The empire is mobilizing troops on a large scale, which has nothing to do with him directly for the time being.
The New Federation is frantically sucking the blood of its own brothers in the same camp and forcibly increasing the number of its main fleets, which has nothing to do with Yang Ming's interests.
Gutonmaha led a half-fleet group of Luofeng and had arrived at the jump platform zone... Yang Ming had to pay attention to this matter.
Those are all his direct armed forces!
"Remember to remind the old fellow Da Maha from time to time not to move the main battleships to the enemy's guns when he gets too excited."
"Don't worry, boss!"
Lu, who was wearing a secretary suit, pushed his glasses and said leisurely:
"He thought the First Defense Fleet was under his control. That was just a common neurological illusion among carbon-based life forms."
"That's good," Yang Ming sighed softly, "I haven't experienced such a big scene in "Abyss". Now it's good. First, the Queen attacked the Imperial Star, and then the Empire counterattacked the New Federation and a full-scale war is about to break out. Lu, what tactics do you think the Empire will adopt?"
"Push flat."
"Push forward?" Yang Ming didn't understand.
"Yes, the most sensible tactic for the Empire is to push forward."
Lu smiled and said:
"The Empire's Invincible Fleet is divided into several main forces, not far apart and forming a corner for each other, advancing forward synchronously and slowly, not aiming for offensive efficiency, but taking things step by step.
“If we do this, we only need to do a good job of surveying the road ahead to create tremendous pressure on the New Federation.
“In fact, when the fleet reaches a thousand ships, a powerful fire strike zone has been formed. When the enemy fleet attacks, a round of salvos from the thousand-ship fleet can steadily break through the main formation of the enemy fleet.
"According to the intelligence I intercepted from the CIA, the Empire will assemble six combat clusters this time, and the scale of each combat cluster is more than 1,200 warships of various types.
"This is forcing the New Federation to fight a large-scale frontal battle."
Yang Ming wondered, "More than 7,000 ships? How can such a large fleet make a jump?"
"For a segmented jump, only one combat group needs to complete the jump and gain a foothold, and the remaining combat groups can then quickly complete the jump assembly.
“Because six large-scale battle groups are moving forward together, the New Federation does not dare to gather a large number of troops to snipe one of the battle groups, otherwise it will be caught in the subsequent fierce firepower attack of the Empire.
"This is the advantage of the Empire's invincible fleet!"
Lu gave several temporary simulation drawings.
Yang Ming studied it carefully for a while, then smiled and shook his head.
Today, the development level of both Dark Star and Luo Feng is very limited, and he is still very far from being able to personally command such a large fleet.
Yang Ming could only sigh that the empire's accumulation of tens of thousands of years was too strong.
"Hurry up and find the Valkyrie," Yang Ming said, "while the entire galaxy's attention is on the impending war between the Empire and the New Federation, we should try to solve this problem once and for all."
Lu sighed, "Boss, we are already working very hard to detect the planets. Of the remaining planets in this star field, only these three gas planets have not been fully detected. It is difficult to search for gas planets. It will probably take another six to eight galaxy hours."
Yang Ming stretched and leaned back in his chair not daring to fall asleep.
"Keep searching. If there is no response after eight galactic hours, turn off the shielding device. If we can't sneak attack Po Suo, then we will fight her head-on."
…
No trace of the Valkyrie was found.
Yang Ming thought the search here was about to close, so he came over to fight the Valkyrie;
Unexpectedly, after searching the last three giant gas planets within the suspected range, they still did not find the Valkyrie.
Did she have a way of hiding like a bug?
Or has it evolved the ability to leap?
"Boss, there is no biological reaction," Lu also looked depressed, "It seems that she escaped right under our noses."
"Expand your search."
"It has been expanded, but the time we need to wait will increase exponentially after the scope is expanded," Lu reminded, "and expanding the search area will involve some risks. After all, we are nominally conducting prospecting activities now, and some employees even thought we wanted to find a new insect swarm so that they could take credit for it from the authorities."
"The bonus is enough," Yang Ming curled his lips, "If you want to take the risk, then take the risk."
Lu nodded, and the projection flashed and disappeared.
Yang Ming sat in a chair and thought carefully. He brought up several star systems that he had already searched and scanned the planets.
Where can she go?
Assuming that the underground cavity was left by the Valkyrie, with less than a hundred galactic hours, no matter how fast she moved, she should not be able to fly out of a star system.
The only assumption now is that she also has a spaceship.
But this doesn't make sense.
If she had a secret spaceship, why didn't she hide on it all the time? The universe was so vast, there was no need for her to hide underground.
Moreover, if she had a spaceship to use, then when the Zerg swarm broke out across the empire ahead, wouldn't she have gone to the Zerg swarm to "gain experience" and restore her strength?
Yang Ming thought about it over and over again, his thoughts becoming a little confused, and he casually slid across the several star systems.
Now it seems that there is only one way left - turn off the shielding device and rely on the induction between them to determine the position of Posha.
But doing so would most likely alert the enemy.
Yang Ming was in deep thought.
He was also hesitating.
If he let Posa go now, he would miss a great opportunity; if Posa directly contacted the empire after recovering her strength and obtained the empire's protection, he would completely lose the opportunity to get rid of Posa.
Posa's genetic value is higher than his.
Although Yang Ming could shamelessly believe that he had already established a firm foothold in the imperial camp with the support of the people, the empire was ultimately an imperial state, and the law often allowed the privileged class to act unreasonably, while the memory of the people was usually not long-lasting.
If Yang Ming's potential enemies fabricate some unfounded evidence against him, he will lose the protection of public opinion.
"Lü, turn off the shielding device and prepare for battle."
Yang Ming's voice was very calm when he gave the order.
In the tail cabin, two rows of busy robots looked up in a certain direction at the same time, saluted in unison, and rushed to their respective combat positions at a rapid speed.
026 also received Lu's reminder, and rushed to the external cabin holding her combat uniform. If necessary later, she would also control the Red Demon to join the battle.
On the bridge, Yang Ming had already put on his new combat uniform, holding a helmet and a lightsaber, and stood quietly next to the particle transmitter.
The bioshielder shut down automatically.
Yang Ming heard a slight buzzing sound, then closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing.
'Where are you?'
He asked the darkness, and the darkness gave him some response.
A ray of light appeared in front of me, like twinkling stars.
Yang Ming's heartbeat seemed to suddenly slow down, and the hairs all over his body stood up at the same time, but then, a desire arose in his heart.
To devour the desire for that glimmer of light.
To get closer and see more clearly, Yang Ming slowly turned around and faced the universe outside the porthole. With his eyes closed, he seemed to have fallen into an abyss.
The faint light gradually turned into a sea of stars.
The familiar starry sky background appeared again. The curled up girl slowly opened her eyes, and her soft body gradually stretched out. She was also looking at Yang Ming.
Across the vast space, two life forms carrying the genes of the ancient gods stared at each other.
She seemed about to say something.
Yang Ming opened his eyes, raised his hand and pointed in the direction. The Dongfeng immediately turned around, and a large number of exploration ships and mining ships belonging to the Mollymis Mining Group moved in that direction at the same time.
"Boss, there is an administrative star in that direction."
"Administrative Star?"
"It is on the edge of this desolate star region. There is an agricultural administrative planet with a population of only about 16 million. It is an agricultural planet of the empire and a former tourist destination that has declined."
"Let's go there," Yang Ming said, "Po Suo is on that administrative planet. Let's hack into the surveillance network there in advance. Is there any problem?"
Lu immediately replied: "As long as that being doesn't come out to cause trouble, there is no pressure."
Yang Ming nodded.
He closed his eyes again.
But this time, he could only see the starry sky and the curled up girl, and the girl did not continue to look at him.
Are you preparing for the battle?
Yang Ming took a deep breath. The expectation in his heart and the desire signals conveyed by his body suppressed the instinctive fear brought about by the genetic generation gap.
After opening the new lightsaber code lock, he stood still with his eyes closed, his breathing becoming even calmer.
A few galactic hours later.
The Empire suddenly began a nationwide broadcast. His Majesty the Great Emperor personally appeared on the Imperial Star TV channel and delivered an inspiring speech. Then all the Empire's radio channels and media channels began to play this speech repeatedly.
The Dongfeng performed a daring short-distance jump voyage.
Several exploration ships that arrived at the administrative planet earlier have completed the network blockade of the planet.
Lu successfully invaded the poorly maintained surface network of the planet and cast a filter over the various monitoring devices here that prevented Yang Ming from being seen.
Posha is right here.
She mingled in towns where humans gathered.
This was a problem that neither Yang Ming nor Lu had thought of before.
In the bridge, the projector brought the great emperor of the Sherman Empire, and the old emperor gave a rhythmic speech.
Yang Ming had already put on his exoskeleton armor, put on his helmet, grabbed his lightsaber and shield generator, and ordered Lu to release a small formation of twelve attack drones, letting them fly into the atmosphere at the fastest speed.
Twelve meteors appeared outside the porthole, rapidly streaking through the atmosphere.
The old emperor's voice became more passionate:
“…They are using the greatest malice of mankind to insult the peace that the Empire has bestowed upon this great galaxy!
“The Milky Way is extremely vast. The Empire and the New Federation do not border each other, but the New Federation, which has expanded its territory by one third in the past few hundred years, has used an artificial virus to exterminate the original residents of more than a dozen administrative planets and claims to be free and democratic. Its ambitions have expanded to the point of wanting to annex the entire Milky Way!
“The Sherman Empire has existed in the Milky Way for tens of thousands of years, which is extremely small on the scale of the universe!
“This reminds us, the Sherman family and all the warriors who follow our family, to stay humble, to maintain our awe of nature and our yearning for the universe. We should make improving the level of civilization our first goal, and use science and technology to drive breakthroughs in civilization to improve the well-being of the general public!
"The New Federation cannot defeat us head-on in the competition of science and technology and civilization ecology, but it actually resorted to such a despicable, shameful, and humiliating method, attempting to use the dirty space Zerg to cause large-scale casualties to our empire and harm the people of our empire! To undermine the national strength of our empire..."
This old man is really strong.
Didn't I hear that the Emperor of the Sherman Empire was so licentious that he even used the cloning technology banned by the convention in the galaxy to provide himself with material for pleasure? This body hasn't completely collapsed yet.
Yang Ming daydreamed with a hint of evilness.
The image on the projection screen in front showed an aerial view of the surface town, with a building marked out.
There is a higher bioenergetic feedback there.
What is Posha going to do?
Take hostages and threaten him so that he won't act rashly?
This may be a bit of an overestimation of his moral standards...If there are any accidental injuries to the hostages, the responsibility should be placed on the robbers.
Yang Ming crossed his arms and looked down at the scene in front of him.
Po Su is extremely proud at heart.
She wouldn't do such a low-level thing.
The drone quickly approached the target building, and Yang Ming could see clearly that it was... a public elementary school.
Surrounding it are ordinary towns on this planet. According to the survey data provided by the law, there are dozens of teachers and students in the school, and daily classes are being conducted at this moment.
"Found it, she's here."
Along with Lu's voice, the new projection screen showed the scene inside the classroom.
A girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old was sitting in the last row of the classroom. Several students and teachers were so scared that they hid in the farthest corner. The windows and doors of the classroom were wrapped in a light red film.
The girl stared at the blackboard, as if in a trance, and now she looked up at the camera in the corner.
Outside the window, several unmanned attack aircraft slowly descended, with the laser gun barrels aimed at the girl's forehead.
The girl curled her lips, closed the book in front of her, smoothed the wrinkles on her school uniform skirt, and stood up calmly.
This school uniform skirt was obviously simulated by her using some means.
She turned and walked to the window, facing the attack aircraft outside, and raised her right hand.
On the Dongfeng, Yang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitating whether to attack directly. He had already realized that Posa was still weak and there was no danger around.
To be on the safe side, it’s better to lure her out.
"attack."
Yang Ming gave orders in a low voice, and the attacking drones opened fire simultaneously.
The swaying figure rushed forward and crashed out of the window. A signature red light film appeared around her, and her long hair tied into a ponytail kept fluttering.
A beam of ions fell from the sky!
Posa was knocked straight to the ground, and the red light film was even a little shaky.
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, turned and walked towards the particle transmitter.
In the projection, the old emperor's speech had come to an end. The old man, wearing an intricately crafted robe, waved his right hand forward.
"The Imperial Star will shine on our future! The Sherman Empire can no longer tolerate or give in!
"In the name of the Emperor of the Empire, I command all the soldiers of the Empire to march bravely towards the enemy's main star, the city of Minte, from now on!
“The light of the Imperial Star is destined to illuminate every corner of the galaxy!
"The crimes of enemies who intend to harm the people of my empire will not be forgiven!
"Victory will belong to the Empire!"
Yang Ming closed his eyes, took a last deep breath, and tightly gripped the hilt of the lightsaber.
transmission!
