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

"Captain, while researching the Hell Core, I discovered that it can generate a unique energy resonance pattern. If we can harness this pattern, we might be able to significantly enhance the strength of the warship's Hell Shield in a short period of time. However, this is still in the theoretical stage and hasn't been tested in actual combat, so I'm not sure how effective it will be."

Chapter 763 Are they going to find a way to get rid of bad luck?

Xu An's eyes lit up, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Xiao Chen: "Xiao Chen, tell me in detail. Whether it is certain or not, this may be a new opportunity for us. At this critical moment of life and death, any possibility is worth trying."

At this time, Vice Captain Wang Lei, who had been standing by and listening quietly, spoke up: "Captain, although Xiao Chen's idea is creative, it has not been tested in actual combat after all."

"If something goes wrong during combat and the shield fails, the battleship could be destroyed instantly, resulting in irreversible consequences. We must consider this carefully."

Old Wu, a senior engineer, nodded in agreement. "Wang Lei is right. However, the situation is critical right now. Perhaps we could first conduct a test on a few warships. If it works, we can then roll it out to the entire fleet. This way, we can minimize the risk."

Everyone was talking at once, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Just as everyone was arguing, signalman Xiao Zhang rushed in again, his voice trembling, "Captain, the Black Fang fleet has begun to adjust its formation and assumed an attacking stance. It seems that they are about to launch an attack!"

Xu An took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces before finally settling on Xiao Chen. "Xiao Chen, immediately work with Kai Luo to select a few warships to test the energy resonance mode. Wang Lei, lead a team on standby. If the test is successful, quickly assist in rollout."

"Everyone else, follow the original plan and prepare for battle!"

Inside the base, the roar of machines and the shouts of people are intertwined, and a thrilling interstellar war is about to begin.

In the depths of the distant universe, Elena strode towards the spacious and bright command platform of the flagship with a light yet somewhat arrogant posture.

Her long fiery red hair fluttered wildly, and her scarlet cape, blown by the strong airflow of the air conditioner, fluttered like a burning flame, making her smug smile look even more hideous.

She stared at the screen, watching the Xu An fleet and the Black Fang Pirate fleet fighting fiercely in the space distorted by the evil storm. Her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but let out a sharp and shrill laugh that echoed in the command cabin.

"Xu An, Xu An, aren't you usually very smart? You fell into my trap. Now I'll let you fight to the death. When you are both defeated, this evil energy core will naturally belong to me, hahahaha!"

She spun around abruptly, her eyes sharp as a knife, glaring directly at the respectful adjutant beside her. "Pay close attention to the battlefield situation. If either side suffers heavy losses, we will immediately move out and seize the Hell Energy Core with lightning speed. Remember, we must act swiftly and without room for error. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!"

The adjutant was so frightened that he trembled all over, nodded and bowed hurriedly, and hurried to carry out the order.

Elena raised her voice and added, "Also, send three reconnaissance ships to disperse and hide at the edge of the battlefield. Utilize occult cloaking technology, maintain high vigilance, and report the latest situation to me at any time."

At the same time, inside the flagship of the Black Tooth Pirate Fleet, alarms sounded like sharp whistles, one after another. The flashing red light of evil energy made the entire command cabin eerie and terrifying, giving people a suffocating feeling of oppression.

Black Fang was furious, his face twisted into a rage. He slammed his fist on the control console and roared, "What's going on? How did Xu An's fleet suddenly become so powerful? Did they find a way to crack the secret of Hell Energy?"

The crew member beside him turned pale with fear and replied tremblingly, "Boss, they seem to have developed a new function for the Hell Energy Core, greatly increasing the attack and defense capabilities of the warships. Our Hell Energy artillery fire can only cause limited damage to them."

Chapter 764 Energy Equipment Rescue Operation

In the vast and mysterious interstellar void, there is a suffocating silence.

The silence was broken only by the low roar of the battleship's engines and the sharp hum of the energy weapons charging.

Elena stood in front of the flagship's command desk with a dashing figure, tapping the table rhythmically with her fingertips.

The light blue holographic projection made her stern face appear even deeper.

When the Black Fang Fleet's iconic scarlet light flashed on the monitoring screen, a hint of cunning suddenly flashed in her eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a meaningful arc.

"Interesting. It seems that the Black Fang thieves are still determined to resist." Elena murmured softly.

The sound was clearly transmitted to every corner through the ship's communication system.

"Notify the fleet to immediately enter a level one combat readiness state and prepare for an attack. When both sides are exhausted, we will strike like a hungry wolf upon its prey."

At the same time, in the fleet command cabin where Xu An was, Zhao Lin stared at the monitoring equipment, his eyes so focused that it seemed as if he could see through the screen.

Suddenly, her originally calm face turned pale in an instant.

His voice was filled with undisguised anxiety: "Captain, the Black Fang Fleet's energy readings are fluctuating abnormally, far beyond the normal range. They are very likely planning a sneak attack!"

Xu An instantly exuded an innate majesty, and his eyes were like lightning as he scanned everyone in the command cabin.

"Attention, all warships! Enter combat mode immediately. If the Black Fang dares to act rashly, we will beat them to death and show them how powerful we are!"

Almost at the same moment, the Black Fang fleet launched an attack without warning.

Beams of energy like sharp blades instantly tore through the darkness and roared towards Xu An's fleet.

Xu An's fleet was well prepared and quickly launched a land-based counterattack.

In an instant, flames splashed in the space, deafening explosions rang out one after another, and a thrilling battle began.

Elena's fleet is like a deadly hunter hidden in the darkness, lying in wait for the best opportunity to attack.

In the fierce exchange of artillery fire, Black Fang frantically directed the attack while roaring viciously: "Xu An, this time I will make you pay a heavy price! If you go against me, Black Fang, you will only die!"

· Request flowers··

However, Heiya never expected that Xu An had already set a trap carefully, waiting for him to fall into it.

Just as the Black Tooth Fleet was mired in battle, Elena's communications officer rushed in in a panic.

His voice trembled like a leaf in the wind. "General, something terrible is happening! A mysterious fleet is rapidly approaching the battlefield, and the signals indicate they are extremely powerful!"

..........

Elena's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and a strong sense of foreboding came over her.

At the same time, Xu An and Heiya also detected the existence of this mysterious fleet through their respective detection equipment.

The situation among the three parties suddenly became complicated, and the tense atmosphere seemed like a powder keg ready to explode.

Just as everyone was in shock, Xiao Lin, a young technical soldier in Xu An's fleet, suddenly shouted, "Captain, I've discovered that the energy fluctuation pattern of the mysterious fleet is very similar to the unidentified attack force we encountered before!"

Before Xu An could respond, Xiao Li, the communications soldier, rushed in in a panic, stumbling and nearly falling to the ground.

Chapter 765 Today is your death anniversary!

Xiao Li's face was pale, and his voice was trembling almost uncontrollably. "Captain, another fleet is coming towards us! The scan results show that the warship models and energy reaction characteristics are exactly the same as those of the infamous interstellar predators. They have no good intentions!"

Xu An felt his temples throbbing, as if his head was being hit hard by a heavy hammer.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anxiety, turned around quickly, and scanned every team member in the command cabin with his sharp eyes.

"All members, prepare for battle! All departments, act immediately, mobilize the 877, reorganize the fleet, and activate all defense systems. We must not allow the enemy to break through our lines!"

At this time, Li He walked into the command cabin with staggering steps.

His steps were heavy and dragging, and his protective suit had several large holes in it, with blood oozing out, leaving a trail of shocking bloodstains on the ground.

Li He's voice was hoarse and full of fatigue. "Captain, the brothers are almost exhausted. The fierce battle with the Black Fang Fleet just now was too exhausting. Everyone's physical strength and energy have reached the limit."

The one-eyed man also limped after him.

His eye patch was missing, his eye sockets were bruised, and he looked utterly miserable as he walked with a slight tilt.

"Indeed, the weapon systems are severely damaged, and many warships are running low on ammunition. If we fight now, our chances of success are slim."

Xu An's eyes swept across the communication area.

Tang Xi and other communication team members were holding on. Their red eyes were full of bloodshot and had heavy dark circles. Their fingers were mechanically operating on the keyboard, and their movements had become noticeably slower.

Xu An strode forward, his tone firm and concerned: "I know everyone is tired, the wounds are painful, and the nerves are already stretched to the limit. But we must not give up!"

"New energy is related to the future of all of us. Once it falls into the hands of predators, they will use this power for evil, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Behind us are countless compatriots who trust us and place their hopes on us. As long as we unite as one, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome! We must win this battle!"

Just as everyone was about to grit their teeth and face the new challenge, a series of rapid beeps suddenly rang out from the communicator.

Tang Xi answered the call tiredly, and his originally dull eyes instantly lit up.

She shouted excitedly, "Captain! It's the Mining Alliance's support fleet! After learning of our situation, they rushed here without hesitation!"

On the screen, the Mining Alliance's fleet was approaching rapidly like a flock of silver birds.

The fleet commander appeared on the screen. He was a burly man with a full beard and a pair of piercing eyes beneath his thick eyebrows. He spoke in a resonant voice, "Captain Xu An, we're here to support you! Concentrate your firepower on the interstellar predators first! Let's fight side by side and drive these invaders out!"

Xu An felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and he immediately ordered: "All warships, listen up! Cooperate with the Mining Alliance Fleet!"

"Li He, lead the assault team and cooperate with the Alliance Fleet's main attack. We must disrupt the enemy's offensive rhythm. One-Eyed Dragon, organize the defense forces to prevent roundabout attacks by the predators and protect the fleet's flanks. Zhao Lin, maintain open communication with the Alliance Fleet and ensure timely and accurate information transmission!"

Just as the fleet was preparing to move, the silent Kylo suddenly rushed out of the laboratory. ...

His hair was disheveled, but his eyes sparkled with excitement. "Captain! I've just made an emergency optimization of the new energy source, which will significantly increase the battleship's attack and defense capabilities in a short period of time!"

"However, this will significantly increase energy consumption, last only 20 minutes, and there may be energy instability during the process."

Xu An didn't hesitate at all, his eyes determined: "Start the optimization plan! These 22.60 minutes are enough for us to give the predators a head-on blow! Even if there are risks, we have to give it a try!"

Just as all parties were ready, the interstellar raider fleet came into range.

The commander of the plunderer fleet stood on the flagship command platform. He was tall, with an arrogant smile on his face and greed in his eyes. "Xu An, today is your end! New energy, it belongs to us! No one can save you this time!"

As the plunderer fleet approached, Xu An took a deep breath and gripped the armrest of the command console tightly.

Chapter 766: Tracking Arrow Breakout

With his order, the plunderer fleet surged in like a black tide, the cannons on the warships fired at the same time, and flashes of fire cut through the darkness. A new fierce battle began.

But no one expected that when the two sides were fighting fiercely, the remnants of the Black Tooth Fleet quietly circled back from the edge of the battlefield.

Black Fang stood on the flagship, watching the fierce battle on the screen with a sinister smile on his face. "Hmph, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. I will wait until you are both defeated, then I will take action! By then, the new energy and this universe will be mine!"

At the same time, the mysterious fleet also made new moves again. They did not rush to the battlefield, but wandered in the distance, as if waiting for the best opportunity.

The commander of the mysterious fleet sat in the dark command cabin, his face shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to discern his expression. "We'll wait until they've exhausted most of their numbers, then we'll act."

Inside the Xu An Fleet, Lao Zhang, who was in charge of logistics, hurried over and said, "Captain, some of the warships' energy transmission pipelines were damaged in the previous battle. Activating the new energy optimization plan may cause the pipelines to rupture, triggering a chain reaction explosion!"

This sudden news made the already tense situation even more serious.

Xu An frowned, pondered for a moment, and then decisively ordered: "Xiao Li, immediately lead the maintenance team to repair the energy transmission pipeline; Kailuo, closely monitor the operation of the new energy source, and take immediate measures if any abnormality is found."

Just as everyone was busy, the Mining Alliance Fleet suddenly sent a communication: "Captain Xu An, we have discovered a command ship behind the plunderer fleet. If we destroy it, we can disrupt their command system!"

Xu An's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'll send Li He to cooperate with you!"

However, shortly after Li He led the assault team to set off, Li He's anxious voice came from the communicator: "Captain, we were ambushed by the predators and suffered heavy losses!"

This news instantly froze the atmosphere in the command cabin.

Xu An stood at the core of the command module. The blue light emitted by the holographic screen cast alternating light and dark shadows on his tense face.

On the screen, the logos of the fleets from all sides were like dense swarms of poisonous bees, rushing madly towards their own fleet.

The communication channel was filled with all kinds of noise. The enemy's arrogant ridicule and fierce threats were like a surging tide, one wave after another, making people's scalps numb.

Xu An took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently, and tried his best to calm himself down.

His gaze was sharp as a sword. He turned away from the screen and quickly glanced at the panicked team members in the command cabin. His voice was steady and powerful, "Everyone, listen up! We are now surrounded by multiple forces. If we continue to fight, we will undoubtedly seek our own death. The most urgent task is to evacuate the battlefield and crush Elena's conspiracy."

Li He was wrapped in a bloody bandage, and the bloodstains seeped through the bandage and spread across his protective suit, making it particularly eye-catching.

Even so, his eyes were determined, revealing a resolute determination to not give up. He took a big step forward, his voice slightly hoarse, "Captain, where can we retreat? The enemy is surrounding us so tightly that there's no escape."

Xu An raised his hand and pointed at a flickering meteorite belt on the screen. His eyes were filled with determination. "Let's move here. The terrain of the meteorite belt is complex. The enemy's large warships will have difficulty moving in it, but our small warships can move flexibly and freely. We can use this to shake them off."

At this moment, a holographic image of the Mining Alliance Fleet Commander appeared on the screen.

Chapter 767 The next step is the real test

The commander was tall, his face lined with wrinkles that bore witness to the vicissitudes of life. His expression was solemn, and his voice was deep: "Captain Xu An, we are willing to cooperate with your operation. However, the enemy is coming with such force that it will be difficult for our two fleets to break through the encirclement."

Xu An frowned and pondered for a moment, his fingers tapping the console subconsciously: "I have a plan. The Alliance Fleet will be responsible for attracting the enemy's firepower from the front, preparing for an all-out attack, and tying down their main force."

"Our Xu An Fleet will seize this opportunity to break through from the flank and enter the asteroid belt. Once inside, we will disperse and disrupt the enemy's pursuit."

The Alliance commander's brow knitted into knots, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. "If we try to contain the enemy head-on, we'll likely suffer heavy losses. If our defenses are breached, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xu An looked sincerely into the eyes of the Alliance Commander: "I know this is dangerous, but it is the only way right now. As long as we succeed in breaking through, we can disrupt Elena's plan and find an opportunity to counterattack later. I promise you, after the crisis is over, we will fully assist the Alliance."

The Alliance Commander was silent for a moment, his gaze lingering on Xu An's resolute face for a long time, and he nodded heavily: "Okay, let's do as you say! To thwart Elena's conspiracy, we must fight!"

Xu An immediately began assigning tasks, his voice loud and clear: "Li He, lead the assault team to the front. With your bravery and skills, open a passage for the fleet."

"One-Eyed Dragon, organize the defense forces and guard the fleet's flanks like a solid fortress. Kailuo, keep a close eye on the new energy equipment and ensure stable operation. This is our lifeline. Zhao Lin, maintain smooth communications and transmit intelligence in a timely manner. Any information could mean the difference between life and death."

Just as the fleet was preparing to move, signalman Xiao Chen ran in panicked, his voice trembling, "Captain, Elena's fleet has been dispatched and is rapidly approaching us!"

Xu An's eyes glared, his pupils shrinking slightly. "As expected, she wants to reap the benefits. Notify everyone to speed up the action and break out before Elena arrives. Every second is crucial."

The operation began, and the Mining Alliance fleet took the lead in launching an attack.

The artillery fire from the battleships was like a torrential rain, cutting through the dark universe and shooting towards the enemy's defense line.

As expected, the enemy was attracted and concentrated their firepower towards the Alliance fleet. For a moment, the explosions were deafening and the flames illuminated the surroundings as bright as day.

Xu An seized the opportunity and decisively ordered: "Xu An Fleet, set off!"

The fleet rushed towards the enemy's defense line on the flank like a group of nimble falcons.
