Zongman: Just selected the natural disaster to ascend and join the chat group

"As long as you are willing to tell us about the Imperial warships and Elena Voss's new weapons, I guarantee your safety after this war is over, no matter what the outcome."

0. ....

"Not only that, I can also give you and your men a chance to start over and escape your current precarious life."

Xu An continued, his eyes revealing a firm commitment.

There was finally a barely perceptible wavering in the eyes of the one-eyed man. Xu An keenly caught this subtle change and was secretly delighted, knowing that his words were beginning to work, so he continued to increase his bet.

"You've been a pirate for so many years, you know the brutality of the empire better than anyone else."

"Once their new weapons are successfully developed, how could they, with their swollen ambitions, let you pirates go?"

"By then, you will all just become victims on their road to dominance. Helping us is actually helping yourself. This is your only chance."

The one-eyed man was silent for a long time, so long that Xu An could hear his own heartbeat.

Finally, the one-eyed man spoke slowly, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper.

"I only know that Elena Voss is researching a new type of weapon. They say it can generate extremely powerful energy fluctuations. Once activated, it can instantly destroy a large area."

"As for the specific principles and research and development progress, I'm not too sure. After all, this is a highly confidential matter of the Empire."

Xu An's heart suddenly shuddered, and an ominous premonition came over him.

Chapter 402: Energy Fluctuation Starts! Searching for Interference Devices!!

He stared into the one-eyed man's eyes, trying to judge the truth from his eyes. After confirming that he was not lying, he continued to ask questions.

"What else do you know about the deployment of Imperial warships and their battle plans? Even just a hint would be crucial to us."

The one-eyed man shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile on his face.

"I really don't know. I only happened to hear people from the Empire mention this before '017'. They were vague at the time, so I'm lucky to have heard this."

Xu An stood up and looked at the one-eyed dragon deeply.

"Okay, I'll remember my promise. As long as the information you provide is useful to us, I will definitely keep my word."

Xu An walked out of the interrogation room and told Li He the information he got from the one-eyed man.

After hearing this, Li He's brows instantly twisted into a knot, and his face was full of worry.

"This is a huge problem. Powerful energy fluctuations can instantly destroy large areas. If this weapon is truly developed, how can we resist it? It would be a disaster!"

As Li He spoke, he paced back and forth, appearing extremely anxious.

Xu An's eyes were firm, like the North Star twinkling in the night sky, giving people endless confidence.

"No matter how powerful this weapon is, we cannot just sit there and wait for death."

"There are always more solutions than problems. Tell Zhao Lin and Tang Xi this information immediately, and let's discuss countermeasures together. I don't believe we can't find a way to deal with it."

Back in the conference room, Xu An informed Zhao Lin and Tang Xi in detail and comprehensively of the information he had obtained from the One-Eyed Dragon.

Zhao Lin held her chin and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, a light flashed in his eyes, as if he had found a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

"Starting from this energy fluctuation, we may be able to develop an energy jammer to try to disrupt the energy output of the new weapon."

"As long as we can interfere with its energy fluctuations, we can weaken its power and even prevent it from activating normally."

As Zhao Lin spoke, he gestured in the air with his hands, trying to explain his ideas.

Tang Xi's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands excitedly...

"Yes, I was researching some energy-related technologies before. Maybe I can improve on this and it might actually come in handy."

"I'll go back and organize my thoughts immediately, combine our existing resources and technologies, and try to come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible."

Tang Xi's face was filled with confidence and excitement, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Li He looked at everyone, his originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his confidence seemed to have returned to him.

"Well, no matter how powerful this weapon is, as long as we work together, there's nothing we can't overcome. I don't believe we can be stumped by it!"

Li He clenched his fists, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Xu An nodded, looking into the distance with a firm gaze, as if he could see the upcoming challenge through the wall.

"That's right, we won't be defeated easily. Next, we need to speed up our actions and race against time."

"We must not let Elena Voss's plot succeed. We must protect our homeland and our beliefs."

Chapter 403 Don’t even think about escaping! This time you will die!!

At the same time, in the empire's secret base, Elena Voss was wearing a black tight combat suit. Her figure was graceful but exuded a chilling coldness.

She stood in front of the huge glass window of the laboratory, her arms folded across her chest, her eyes revealing a hint of pride and madness.

Looking at the busy scientific researchers inside, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. That smile was like a demon in the night sky, full of evil and arrogance.

"Xu An, do you think you can escape from my clutches as easily this time as before?"

"Hmph, that's wishful thinking! Once my new Type 14 weapon is successfully developed, it will be the end of your resistance army, and the entire universe will be under my control."

Elena Voss whispered to herself, her voice filled with a desire for power and disdain for the resistance.

In the laboratory, the prototype of a new weapon has emerged. Its massive body emits a mysterious and dangerous light, and the surrounding air seems to be distorted by it.

The researchers were busy operating the instruments, and a tense atmosphere filled the entire laboratory.

A more intense and cruel contest seems to have quietly begun beneath this seemingly calm surface.

At the resistance base in Erling, Xu An and the others were well aware that time was running out, and they quickly began intensive preparations.

Zhao Lin and Tang Xi plunged into the laboratory and devoted themselves to the research and development of the energy interference device.

Zhao Lin stared at the various complex instruments and data, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with concentration and persistence.

Tang Xi kept recording data on the side, muttering some professional terms from time to time. The two of them cooperated tacitly and raced against time.

Li He was also busy organizing the base's defense forces and strengthening and improving the fortifications.

He shuttled around every corner of the base, loudly directing the soldiers to carry supplies and adjust weapons and equipment.

"Hurry up! Stack these sandbags and make sure the fortifications are solid!"

Li He's voice was loud and powerful, full of the majesty of a commander.

Under his command, the soldiers carried out their work in an orderly manner. Although everyone looked nervous, there was firm belief in their eyes.

Xu An was in the command room, constantly analyzing the existing intelligence, trying to find more clues about the imperial warships and new weapons from clues.

Sometimes he stared at the map in deep thought, and sometimes he wrote and drew on paper.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he picked up the communicator and said

"Li He, arrange for a few people to investigate the empire's recent transportation of supplies to the surrounding galaxies."

"Maybe we can find some clues about new weapons from their material mobilization."

"Understood, Captain! I'll send someone to 017 immediately." Li He responded on the other end of the communicator.

Not long after, news came from the team members in charge of the investigation.

"Captain, we've discovered that the Empire has been frequently transporting some special energy crystals to a remote galaxy. The quantities are huge, and the transportation routes are extremely secretive."

The team member said in the communicator.

Xu An's heart moved and he spoke immediately.

"Continue the investigation to find out the whereabouts and purpose of these energy crystals. This is very likely related to the new weapon."

Meanwhile, in the Empire's secret meeting room, Elena Voss was reporting to a group of Imperial generals on the progress of the development of new weapons.

Chapter 404 Let’s wait and see! He is not an ordinary person!!

　"Everyone, the research and development of the new weapon has entered the final critical stage and is expected to be operational soon. By then, the resistance will be vulnerable, and our hegemony is just around the corner."

Elena Voss said confidently.

A general frowned and said, "But, General, according to our intelligence, the rebels seem to have noticed our actions, and they have been very active recently."

Elena Voss sneered and said, "Humph, even if they noticed it, so what? What can they do? It's just a desperate struggle."

"We are accelerating our research and development efforts, striving to launch an attack as quickly as possible and catch them off guard."

After the meeting, Elena Voss returned to her office and sat in her chair, a look of worry in her eyes.

Although she appeared to be dismissive of the rebels, she knew in her heart that Xu An and others were no ordinary people.

She picked up the communicator and said, "Increase surveillance of the resistance forces. If you discover any unusual behavior from them, report to me immediately."

At the rebel base, Zhao Lin and Tang Xi finally came up with some preliminary ideas about the energy jammer after some hard work.

They excitedly came to the command room and reported to Xu An.

"Captain, we already have some ideas."

"Based on our research on energy fluctuations, we have preliminarily designed a model of an energy interference device. However, further experiments and improvements are needed."

Zhao Lin said.

Xu An looked at the design drawings they handed over, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must develop this device as soon as possible. It is the key to our fight against the Empire's new weapons."

Tang Xi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Captain, we will go all out and strive to complete the research and development in the shortest possible time."

However, at this moment, the team responsible for reconnaissance brought bad news.

"Captain, we've discovered that the Empire's warships have begun to gather, and it seems they may launch an attack at any moment."

"Moreover, their actions were so secretive that we almost didn't notice them."

Xu An's expression became serious. He knew that they didn't have much time left.

"Notify everyone to enter level one combat readiness."

"Zhao Lin, Tang Xi, speed up the development of the energy jammer."

"Li He, strengthen the defense of the base and be prepared to fight at any time." Xu An gave the order quickly, his voice steady and powerful.

In this tense atmosphere, all members of the resistance army devoted themselves to the final preparations.

Everyone knows that a life-and-death battle is about to begin, and they must go all out in a desperate fight against the powerful empire for freedom and dignity.

The outcome of this battle will determine the fate of the entire universe.

Li He was busy directing the defense deployment in the base, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He took the time to go to the command room and find Xu An.

"Captain, the Imperial warships are coming in full force. Can we really withstand them? Can the energy jammer be developed in time?"

There was a hint of anxiety in Li He's eyes.

Xu An patted Li He's shoulder and said firmly, "Li He, we have come this far and there is no turning back. Zhao Lin and Tang Xi are working hard on the energy jammer. I believe in them."

"Besides, we still have so many brave warriors. As long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome. We will definitely be able to protect our homeland."

Li He looked at Xu An's determined eyes, and the worries in his heart were immediately relieved a lot.

"Okay, Captain! You are right, we can do it! I will continue to prepare for defense." After saying that, Li He turned and walked out of the command room.

In the laboratory, Zhao Lin and Tang Xi are conducting experiments against the clock.

The laboratory table was filled with various instruments and parts, and the two men were busy sweating profusely.

"Tang Xi, this data seems to be wrong. Let's check it again." Zhao Lin stared at the data on the instrument with a frown.

Tang Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, let me take a look. Could there be something wrong with the energy conversion module?"

As they discussed, the two carefully examined the experimental equipment.

Next to the base's fortifications, soldiers were busy making final preparations.

They checked their weapons and equipment and strengthened their fortifications. Everyone looked serious, waiting for the upcoming battle.

In this tense atmosphere, time passes by every second.

The scale of the Imperial warships' assembly is getting larger and larger, while the rebels' preparations are also proceeding intensively and in an orderly manner.

A thrilling cosmic war is about to begin, but who will win this battle is still unknown.

Meanwhile, on the Imperial warship, Elena Voss stood on the command platform
