Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

The memories of two lifetimes and the passage of time honed his character, giving him a powerful spirit.

Looking at the somewhat panicked young man in front of him, Lin Yuan said firmly:

"What's the panic? If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuan had already taken a big step forward—he was going to the command center to personally take control of the situation.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's voice, the young crew member, who had been panicking, froze.

He looked up at Lin Yuan's back and felt his calmness and confidence, which made him feel inexplicably more at ease.

Seeing the tall figure gradually disappear into the distance, the young man hesitated for a moment before quickly jogging to catch up.

......

"How is the situation now?"

Seeing the young man following beside him, Lin Yuan kept walking while asking about the situation.

"The latest situation is unclear, but right after we were attacked, the system detected many small energy reactions approaching us."

"Judging from the commotion, it doesn't seem to be a large force of the antimatter legion, otherwise..."

Feeling the ground trembling from time to time, Lin Yuan pondered to himself.

Faced with this extreme situation, the most urgent task is to ascertain the intelligence.

If they encounter a small unit of the legion, they may have a sliver of hope.

However, if one were to encounter the Lord of Annihilation (the messenger of [Destruction]), not only would it be useless if he, or even if important figures like Pierpont himself came here, it would be ineffective.

......

When Lin Yuan stepped into the command center, he was met with a chaotic and disorderly scene.

The uniformed cabin crew scurried around like headless flies, their chaotic screams echoing between their posts.

Even worse, some stare blankly at the screen in front of them, seemingly lost in their own thoughts.

The interplay of alarm sounds and red lights created a unique sense of dread throughout the command center.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but frown.

As a crew member of the company's fleet, how could he react so poorly to an emergency!

"Everyone, keep quiet!"

Lin Yuan shouted sternly, his loud voice momentarily drowning out the entire cabin.

For a moment, everyone froze. All eyes turned to him.

The scene fell into a silent stillness, with only the incessant blaring of the alarm.

"Everyone, remain calm and stay at your posts. Where are the ship's commanders? Come to me now!"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, the crew members exchanged bewildered glances.

Those who usually stayed in the command room did not immediately recognize who the young man in front of them was.

"Who are you? Don't cause trouble here!"

Amidst the crowd, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion pushed through the throng.

He frowned and looked Lin Yuan up and down, questioning him.

Lin Yuan didn't argue with him, and then he heard a clear voice ring out again in the cabin:

"I am Lin Yuan, a project specialist at the company, at level P24. According to the company's emergency response regulations for field operations, from now on, the highest-ranking employee on site can take over command in emergency situations."

In other words, from now on, everyone must follow my orders!

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, he saw the middle-aged man in front of him change his expression drastically.

"Commissioner Lin... just now..."

An awkward smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

Lin Yuan ignored his thoughts and went straight to the young man who had given him the news, asking:

"Where is the captain? I need to see him now."

"Commissioner Lin Yuan, Commissioner Lin Yuan, you've finally arrived!"

Before the young man could reply, a figure rushed anxiously into the command room.

Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a bearded man in uniform running in, covered in sweat.

This man was none other than the ship's captain—Rayne Ford.

"Captain Ford, where have you been?"

Looking at the somewhat disheveled captain, Lin Yuan's expression turned serious.

"Huh, huh."

Ford took a couple of deep breaths and wiped the sweat from his face:

"The protection module of the power compartment was just severely damaged, and I went to the site to check the situation."

"Oh, so how's the situation now?"

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Lin Yuan knew that the matter was serious.

He signaled everyone to stay at their posts, and then went to the command tower with Captain Ford.

"It's terrible."

Ford looked grim.

"An attack of that magnitude wouldn't last long, even with all defense systems activated."

As he spoke, he manipulated the screen on the control panel.

Enlarged images appeared before Lin Yuan's eyes.

"Is this a false pawn? It seems a little different."

Upon seeing the white figures moving through space in the image, Lin Yuan's expression immediately darkened.

"Fortunately, no doomsday beasts were found; they were probably just some small groups of scattered soldiers."

He quickly considered a solution.

After a moment, Lin Yuan concluded that he should still trust the wisdom of his ancestors—of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best option.

After all, if the enemy were an antimatter legion, a single small annihilation could send Lin Yuan and the entire fleet to their deaths in space.

"Pass on my order: the fleet should not linger in battle. Activate all defense systems and immediately accelerate and charge the warp system!"

Having made up his mind, Lin Yuan gave the order to Captain Ford, who was standing beside him. Without hesitation, the latter relayed the order to his respective posts.

Soon, under command, the crew members demonstrated the qualities they were expected to have.

The main ship where Lin Yuan was located, along with two slightly smaller escort ships, immediately began to accelerate, pulling away the white figures that were originally approaching the ships in space.

In just half a minute, the fleet's speed reached its maximum, and a blue field spread out from the main ship.

"The jump field is charging and its range covers the entire fleet."

Feedback from the command system quickly reached Lin Yuan's ears, but his expression remained anything but relaxed.

......

"Boom, boom"

Attacks from afar relentlessly struck the ship's energy shields, causing the entire warship to tremble under the onslaught.

"Jet transition charging initiated, progress 10%"

The progress bar is slowly moving forward on the screen, and the entire main ship's energy is beginning to be concentrated on the warp system.

"Power-on process in progress, 30% complete."

The hope of escaping danger was growing, and all the personnel in the command center watched the progress bar with hope rising in their hearts.

"Power-on process in progress, 40% complete."

The next moment, a deep purple light suddenly brightened in the distant deep space, and then a huge beam of light pierced through from the distance.

"boom!!!"

Before the high-energy reaction warning could be issued, the attack arrived in an instant.

All that remained before everyone's eyes was that purple light representing destruction.

In an instant, everything changed.

......

Chapter 3 is here!

"boom!"

A tremendous impact struck instantly, and all the lights in the command center dimmed for a moment.

As if the heavens and earth had turned upside down, everyone present was sent flying from their original positions by the enormous impact.

The massive warship, struck by this beam of light, was like a small boat being battered by a giant wave, and was actually knocked away a distance.

The piercing sirens and the flashing red lights created a striking contrast.

After a bout of intense dizziness, Lin Yuan struggled to his feet.

The tinnitus gradually subsided, and all that could be heard was the toneless voice from the command system continuously reporting the fleet's damage.

"The No. 1 frigate experienced an explosion, with no signs of survivors. The No. 2 frigate sustained minor damage from a collision. The ship's defense systems were severely damaged and are currently undergoing power restoration and repair."

"Depend on!"

Lin Yuan was somewhat dazed and couldn't help but swear.

In that terrifying attack, a frigate directly in front of it was instantly blown apart in mid-air.

The other ship was fortunate to be on the other side of the main ship, and thus barely avoided the attack and escaped destruction.

"Warp charge progress 50%. Due to damage to the defensive shield, the energy supply shield is under repair, and the charge progress is paused. The shield repair progress is currently 69%."
