Global Era of Star trekking

Boom!

As Cang Qiong emerged from the spatial vortex, before Song Chi could recover from the overwhelming sensation of weightlessness, sharp roars filled his ears.

Accompanying them was the violent trembling of Cang Qiong.

[Beep beep beep, warship armor damaged by 2%, please repair immediately!!]

[Beep beep beep, warship armor damaged by 4%, please attend to repairs promptly!!]

[Beep beep beep, warship armor damaged by 6%, warship damaged by 1%, please repair as soon as possible.]

Without waiting for his body to recover on its own, Song Chi bit down on his teeth sharply, the pain snaping his mind into clarity and quickly made him aware of Cang Qiong's current situation. Stay tuned for more on m-vl-em,pyr

Looking ahead through the projection screen, he saw a mass of starships in strange shapes battling it out in a frenzy, with artillery fire nearly lighting up the dark starry sky.

In this stellar battlefield with tens of thousands of warships, the arrival of Cang Qiong didn't cause much of a stir, but the indiscriminate artillery fire was unavoidable. In the few short seconds since Cang Qiong had appeared, it had already been hit by several rounds of scattered fire.

"This luck, last time I was cast into the Starry Sea Hollow Zone, and now it's a starry battlefield, and it's even near the central area of the battlefield, impossible to get away in short order,"

Thinking so, Song Chi cursed under his breath, complaining about his somewhat speechless fortune, and could only hope that the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator, activated at the first opportunity, would finish charging soon.

Though the scale of the battlefield was not small, most of the starships were of Zero Rank and First Rank, with not many warships at the Second Rank energy level. As long as the Dark Matter Energy Shield activated at level 29, there would no longer be a need to worry about Cang Qiong's own safety.

However, it would take 30 seconds for the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator to fully charge, and during this half minute, Song Chi could only manually control Cang Qiong to dodge.

Just then, whether it was noticed by a warship in the battlefield or not, an attack from a Second Rank struck the left side of Cang Qiong. Instantly, red lights flashed within the airship, and urgent warning sounds echoed continuously.

[Beep beep beep, warship armor damaged by 42%, warship damaged by 28%, severe airship damage, please repair as soon as possible!!!]

This attack nearly destroyed a third of Cang Qiong's warship armor, and the ship itself sustained damage exceeding a quarter, instantly placing Cang Qiong in a dire situation.

Seeing this, Song Chi's mind divided into two; one part continued to control the airship's dodging, while the other hastily commanded Cang Qiong's semi-automatic shipborne AI to activate the "nanobot repair pack." Although the repair pack's capabilities were limited, there were no components on board Cang Qiong for repairing the ship's body, so he had to rely on it for basic repairs.

With the activation of the nanobot repair pack, the damage to Cang Qiong's warship armor and the ship body itself saw some recovery, but it soon plummeted again.

Even though he was doing his utmost to control Cang Qiong to dodge, this was after all a starry battlefield, covered on all sides by artillery fire; how could it be easy to evade?

Time slowly progressed, and quickly another ten seconds passed. With the last ten seconds remaining until the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator was fully active, the shipbody trembled again, followed by a barrage of urgent alarms.

[Beep beep beep, warship armor damaged by 57%, warship damaged by 40%, please repair as soon as possible.]

In just twenty short seconds, Cang Qiong's warship armor was nearly 60% damaged. Song Chi furrowed his brows and internally reflected on a phrase he had often heard in textbooks.

"Every interstellar war is a massive meat grinder."

At this moment, he deeply understood the essence of that phrase.

At the same time, he moved the idea of acquiring a higher-quality warship armor component up several notches in his mind.

The current Goldrock Ship Armor on Cang Qiong was only White Quality; hence, he had not reinforced it much, and it was still at level 10. Had it been a Blue Quality warship armor, he would likely have enhanced it to over level 20 by now, and he would not have faced this urgent situation.

Phew!

Taking a deep breath, Song Chi cleared his mind of various thoughts. In just 1/10 of a second, his spiritual force became highly concentrated. Under the high-speed operation of his thoughts, his mind became extremely clear. If there were any knowledgeable outsiders present, they would recognize that he was in the "Limit-breaking State."

In this moment, his spiritual force, which normally only allowed for two tasks at once, easily enabled him to enter the Threefold Mind Utilization state. In this state, not only could Song Chi dodge various incoming artillery fire more easily, but he could also divide his attention to control Cang Qiong's main cannon and secondary cannons to counterattack.

The main cannon at the front of the ship fired a particle beam with a diameter of several feet. Directly in front of the beam's path, several oddly shaped starships were instantly penetrated. In front of the Blue Quality Particle Beam Cannon of Second Rank, those alien race starships were as fragile as could be.

At the same time, Cang Qiong also received numerous notifications of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin being credited to its account.

Even though this attack destroyed only a few alien civilization starships, each starship usually had more than one alien species aboard. Destroying a starship with a First Rank energy level typically resulted in around ten strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.

Song Chi's eyes lit up—there was more than he had anticipated.
