Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 436 - 153: Evacuation

This scene seemed to go unnoticed by any individual of Dusk.

Except for the Alpha-grade Dusk on the New Star Level.

However, it also saw Chen Ming’s robots desperately pushing forward, trying to seize that Shield Module.

It appears that the brief contact just now did not affect the Shield Module.

So it chose to continue installing it. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

But in fact, it had no choice.

If it continued to stay here, with the core modules of the giant shipyard already under Chen Ming’s control, its fate was basically sealed.

So it had to run.

And to escape, it would need to face the offensive of two ships from the Fourteenth Legion.

Therefore, it also had to install this Shield Module.

It had no choice.

It could only gamble.

Gamble on the results of Dusk’s previous tests on Chen Ming’s capabilities.

Believe that Chen Ming could not control a module of a Main Ship with a mere Gamma-grade core and continue to control the entire Main Ship.

It was half-right in its gamble.

Chen Ming indeed did not utilize the Gamma-grade core to control the Main Ship.

But if it was just to have a little influence on a module, that brief moment of contact was sufficient.

The various robots and devices controlled by the Dusk individual under Chen Ming’s command were still frantically trying to destroy the interactive devices.

But under the attack of the New Star Level, they still did not succeed. The Shield Module was quickly installed, isolating other Dusks outside.

And the New Star Level ignored all the Dusk individuals below and directly started the Engine.

The terrifying high temperature from the exhaust on the ground instantly destroyed all the Dusk individuals who wanted to attack it or protect it.

The New Star Level set sail, flying towards the shipyard’s exit.

At the same time, the Special Operations Task Force finally cleared all the Dusk individuals protecting the already damaged power equipment.

With the fuel completely treated by Dusk, they connected the mini Antimatter Reactor into the power line.

At the first moment the power was reconnected, Chen Ming activated the anti-gravity device, changed the direction of gravity, and adjusted the maximum gravity intensity.

At this moment, half of the ship had already left the shipyard. The New Star was completely unprepared for such a change.

The hull tilted, and a corner on the right rear hit the giant shipyard.

The massive crack at the shipyard exit showed that this collision caused more severe damage than before.

This was enough.

Chen Ming was now impatient to see his final outcome.

The New Star Level flew out of the giant shipyard.

At this point, the Special Operations Task Force had barely readjusted to the gravity that Chen Ming had restored.

Thanks to Chen Ming’s prior warning, they did not suffer any significant external injuries during the sudden gravity increase just now.

There might be internal injuries from the sudden gravity change, but in this era, treating hidden internal injuries caused by high gravity is a very simple affair.

As long as they could return alive.

So after the Special Operations Task Force was ready, Chen Ming directly said to them, "The New Star Level has flown out of the giant shipyard, you can retreat now."

The captain had felt the intense impact vibrations transmitted during the gravity surge just now.

But he hadn’t expected to hear from Chen Ming that the New Star Level had successfully left the shipyard. He instinctively asked, "Did we fail?"

"Whether we failed or not has yet to be determined. I believe you have done practically all you could."

"And although the New Star Level flew out, your mission was to destroy the New Star, not to prevent it from flying out."

"Understood."

Chen Ming began arranging the Special Operations Task Force’s retreat route.

He was also organizing some other auxiliary matters, which should be needed soon.

Outside the giant shipyard at this moment.

When the New Star Level left the shipyard exit and appeared at the forefront of the battle line.

The Fourteenth Legion Fleet, which was somewhat chaotic with two Radiation Level ships practically in their face, suddenly reformed their formation.

The entire fleet’s firing arcs all bypassed those two Radiation Level ships, focusing entirely on the newly appeared New Star Level.

The Alpha-grade Dusk on the New Star Level immediately activated the Main Level Shield, but an unexpected event occurred—something that it shouldn’t have risked believing wouldn’t happen indeed happened.

The Main Ship-grade Shield that was supposed to activate did indeed activate.

But the activation position was in the opposite direction of where it wanted to deploy the shield.

It had just entered the battle line organized by the Dusk Fleet and hadn’t had time to adjust the ship’s posture, leaving its side completely exposed to the Fourteenth Legion.

The reason for the occurrence of such a situation.

Was when, inside the giant shipyard, during the moment the Gamma-grade core came into contact with the Shield Module, Chen Ming modified a part of the Shield Module.

Although Chen Ming wasn’t very familiar with the usage and actual technology of a Main Ship-grade Shield, casually tweaking the internal circuits and reversing a few wires was an easily doable task.

Chen Ming only intended to cause an overloading situation when the Shield Module activated due to a circuit failure, but he didn’t expect that his casual modification would lead to the current situation.

This was somewhat unexpected.

However, it wasn’t a big problem, at least this reverse-activated shield completely failed to block the first wave of concentrated fire from the Fourteenth Legion Fleet.

The fierce explosion and fire, along with the light pollution caused by laser weapons, instantly erupted on the starboard side of the New Star Level.
