The reconnaissance corps has been deployed for 10 days.

Time is very tight.

Ren Zhong immediately gave orders.

All troops stop action, all transport ships hide in place, start frantically manufacturing individual space combat equipment, even the basic models will do, with only one requirement: to enable survival in space for a period of time and to be able to fire a gun.

As for some armed ships and Tracker Spaceships, they began their return journey on-site, heading toward the region where the C1915 star is located.

Meanwhile, Panlong Science Academy continues to restart, pushing forward unfinished plans.

As for the reconnaissance corps, they are ordered to disperse in place and continue to head into deeper space for more reconnaissance. Of course, another task for these people is to disperse the forces of the Sublimators as much as possible and to find usable resources.

"Additionally, continue improving my Red Blade Armor, attempting to continuously enhance the size and energy level of Red Blade Armor without using amplifiers." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Sun Ai asked in confusion, "If the energy level is too high, your body will be unable to bear it, you'll die."

Ren Zhong grinned, "No worries, my current brain-machine synchronization rate is at 100 percent, and even if my body disappears, as long as the appropriate artificial human brain crystal core structure is used, with the crystal core array of the Legion Beast serving as the Intelligent Brain Core, my consciousness can be maintained in data form for a long time before it dissipates, somewhat similar to the Wise Man of the Pilgrims."

"Also, order all fleets to complete rapid equipment improvements, replace with strong light projectors, smoke grenade launchers, let Ma Xiaocheng lead computer technology to improve image analysis functions, design smaller and sturdier radio communication stations, best to be the size of a fingernail, with a battery life of more than ten days."

"Finally, mass-produce Old Qian's last legacy, the long-range endurance extender."

Sun Ai asked, "What will it be used for?"

"For speeding up the ships."

Sun Ai was shocked, "Speeding up, to how fast?"

Ren Zhong estimated in his mind, over at Ding Canghai's side, they would arrive at the C1915 star in 14 days, approximately at the same time, the combat troops of the Mother Empress Ship would also arrive.

The fleet headquarters' flight speed is one-tenth of light speed, having left the exploration route and flown for 16 days. The reconnaissance ship's flight speed is an eighth of light speed, using this speed to head towards the area where the enemy is located, although not a straight line, it took a month to arrive at C1915.

If we want a full-scale deployment around C1915 to confront the enemy, the fleet must complete their return voyage in 14 days, reaching Ding Canghai's position.

At the current speed, it is completely insufficient, at least all fleets must reach 0.25 times light speed, but this is impossible. The technological level of Source Star cannot support large fleets reaching this speed, not even the Empire.

Therefore, the task of fabricating a detonator capable of detonating the C1915 star can only be handed over to the front-line reconnaissance corps.

This requires the reconnaissance corps to transform into a mineral exploration team to collect large amounts of hydrogen-helium isotopes already existing within the Tenglong Nebula and fabricate sufficient detonators with remote assistance from the Dragon Slayer Science Academy.

But before that, someone must deal significant damage to the Mother Empress Ship, enticing it to activate its keratinous layer protection and choose to land within a celestial body to absorb energy.

This task can only be handed over to the thirty thousand ultra-class professionals, including myself.

The hope is slim, but we must try.

"Accelerate the Water Drop Ship."

Sun Ai: "What do you mean?"

"Including myself, thirty-two thousand one hundred and thirty-three ultra-class professionals, each equipped with a Water Drop Ship, then use Old Qian's extender for continuous acceleration, achieving a quarter of light speed, relaying continuously using multi-stage rocket mode. We must intercept the enemy's main forces arriving at C1915, meet with the Third Army Command Center there, and lurk."

Sun Ai: "This..."

"Meanwhile, continuously manufacture Three-Phase Bombs, transfer all high explosive missiles from Tracker to the modified Water Drop Ships. When completed, armed ships and Tracker return to meet with transport ships, constructing a defense line."

Ren Zhong has already made the decision, leading the team to charge and create damage to the Mother Empress Ship near the C1915 star.

Success rate is extremely low, but not impossible.

Sun Ai seemingly wanted to persuade him but, understanding his character, chose to give up.

After making the decision, Ren Zhong convened a high-level military meeting and announced his decision.

His "send-off" decision clearly caused an uproar and considerable opposition but was suppressed by him forcefully.

Ren Zhong also acutely noticed that Zheng Tian and Xiao Xingyue, who were currently awake, were greatly impacted.

In the previous timeline, letting old Ding become a hero changed many people's perceptions.

Ren Zhong decided this time not to let old Ding exclusively shine.

Sorry, old Ding, your brilliant move, I'll take it!

In the distant reconnaissance ship of the Third Army Command Center, Ding Canghai, who was feeling bored during the voyage, suddenly shivered, feeling a chill all over.

"Strange, who is trying to steal my chicken behind my back?"
