Chapter 326 The Arrival of a New Enemy and Emergency Response
Upon hearing the emergency communication from the "Starshine," Lin Yu's expression instantly turned serious. He and Ellie immediately returned to the landing craft and sped towards the "Starshine." Along the way, Lin Yu gripped the control stick tightly, his mind racing as he considered countermeasures: "This unknown energy fluctuation is strange; we must prepare as soon as possible." Ellie sat beside him, intently watching the detection equipment, trying to glean more information from the constantly fluctuating data: "Whatever it is, we must be on high alert and cannot afford to be careless."
Back on the "Starshine," Lin Yu quickly climbed onto the bridge and looked at the energy fluctuation trajectory displayed on the screen. The energy fluctuation, like a surging tide, was rapidly approaching them. "Notify the fleet to enter Level One combat readiness. Activate shields and charge weapon systems," Lin Yu's voice was calm and powerful, exuding an unquestionable authority.
The crew sprang into action. The warship's engines roared to life, its shields slowly glowed, and its weapon systems began charging. The entire fleet went on high alert. Ellie led the research team, focusing intently on analyzing the characteristics of this unknown energy. As the energy source drew closer, they finally made out its appearance.
It was an enormous warship, irregularly shaped like a pyramid, its surface shimmering with a strange metallic luster, surrounded by a mysterious aura of energy. Wherever the warship went, space seemed to warp, and even the starlight dimmed. "This warship's energy reaction is extremely powerful, far exceeding any enemy we've encountered before," Ellie said, her voice tinged with tension as she displayed the analytical data to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, his gaze resolute: "No matter how powerful it is, we cannot back down. All warships, maintain defensive formation and closely monitor the enemy's movements."
The massive warship slowly approached, and suddenly, countless launch ports opened on its hull, unleashing a dense barrage of energy projectiles. These projectiles moved at incredible speeds, leaving long energy trails as they rained down on the fleet. "Dodge the attack!" Lin Yu shouted, simultaneously maneuvering the "Starshine" to nimbly dodge to the side.
The fleet's warships moved swiftly, weaving through the gaps in the energy blasts. However, several warships were unable to dodge in time and were hit by the energy blasts. Their shields instantly glowed with a blinding light, and their energy readings plummeted. "Retaliate!" Lin Yu decisively ordered, and the fleet's weapon systems opened fire at full power, beams of energy shooting towards the massive warships.
However, these attacks seemed to have little effect on the massive warship. Its energy shield easily deflected the attacks, only causing ripples on its surface. "The enemy ship's shield is too strong; our attacks can't penetrate it," the weapons operator reported anxiously.
Lin Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "We can't attack blindly; we need to find its weaknesses. Ellie, increase the scanning intensity and analyze its energy shield structure."
Ellie quickly operated the equipment, scanning the massive warship from all angles. After a tense analysis, she finally discovered a crucial piece of information: "Lin Yu, there is an energy conversion gap near the enemy ship's power core in its energy shield. Although this gap appears for a very short time, it may be our breakthrough point."
Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately issued the order: "All warships, listen up! Concentrate your firepower on the area near the enemy ship's power core, seize the opportunity during the energy gap, and strike with all your might!"
The fleet swiftly adjusted its attack direction, concentrating its firepower near the massive warship's power core. The instant a gap appeared in the energy shield, the "Starshine" fired a beam of powerful energy, and the other warships followed suit, countless energy beams converging and shooting towards the gap.
Under the powerful barrage, a crack finally appeared in the massive warship's energy shield. "Effective! Keep attacking!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly. The fleet seized the opportunity and launched a continuous barrage, giving the enemy ships no chance to breathe.
However, the massive warship seemed to sense the danger. Its hull began to change; its energy shields became even more robust. Simultaneously, it activated an unknown weapon system, unleashing a massive energy beam from its bow, hurtling straight towards the "Starshine." This energy beam was incredibly powerful, tearing space apart wherever it struck. Faced with this deadly attack, could Lin Yu successfully dodge it? And how would the fleet respond to this increasingly dire situation?
