If it weren’t for a special phenonon known as the quality void effect.
Causing any object accelerating close to the speed of light to experience an inexplicable loss of mass, such that although it appears solid when observed, physical contact is impossible.
The power of the Gauss Cannon could be even stronger.
This effect is actually the condition under which Human Empire civilian ships can reach the speed of light, but it currently limits the weapon’s power.
In short, there are a total of four large solid bullet weapons on the Space Station, all locked onto the Dusk Cruiser.
The Dusk Cruiser imdiately took evasive action.
But the spherical shield fully protecting the Dusk Cruiser might not be able to evade.
The shield was hit by countless needles, showing even more intense oscillations than when the Space Station was hit by the Speed Particle Spear.
Unfortunately, the Cruisers’ maneuverability quickly increased considerably as their straight-line flight speed decreased.
The more powerful Gauss Cannon only hit once, forcibly indenting the spherical shield.
But sadly, that was the end of it.
The Dusk Cruiser wandered at the extre range of both sides’ range, making it difficult for the fixed weapons of the Space Station to hit it.
In a short ti, it’s impossible to reach a conclusion.
Thus, the burden of subsequent developnt falls on the other ships.
The main forces have already started battling, and Dusk’s smaller ships are gradually approaching; naturally, the Space Station fleet cannot continue hiding behind the Space Station shield.
They bypassed the Space Station’s frontal fire coverage, rushing toward the Dusk Fleet, which had also evaded the Cruiser’s attack range.
The large-scale battle has just begun.
It was at this ti that Chen Ming realized his opportunity was coming.
When small-sized ships start fighting, a lot of damage and chaos will inevitably occur, which is the best environnt for Chen Ming to fish in troubled waters.
If he can drag one of the Dusk Ships back, Chen Ming’s new ship will certainly have a chance.
But Chen Ming also knows the danger; if the Dusk Cruiser decides to target small ships as the Space Station did.
The Iron Ore No. would have almost no chance of escape.
So even though other ships that had already left the Space Station nearby couldn’t wait to approach the battlefield.
Chen Ming still hesitated at his original position, observing the battlefield situation constantly transmitted back by sensors, seeking the right opportunity.
Unlike other ship pilots who put their lives on the line, Chen Ming is in the safest place, underground at the Space Station Administration Building.
Such a safe environnt allows him to calmly analyze and think, seeking the most advantageous timing.
Soon, the Space Station and Dusk’s Destroyer and Frigates got close enough for battle.
The arcs frequently flashing when energy beams and electromagnetic weapons were fired erupted near the central position of shooting between the Space Station and the Cruiser.
Almost imdiately, the shields of a dozen ships were overloaded, directly destroyed by the firepower from other ships.
And many more ships began passing by each other due to speed.
The battle line that should have been maintained suddenly beca chaotic.
Chen Ming imdiately realized sothing was wrong.
Normal ship battles should see both sides stuck at each other’s range limits, attacking and suppressing shields with constant firepower before charging to destroy the enemy.
But now, the battle line instead showed interlocked teeth.
And Chen Ming just saw clearly that the Space Station ships made obvious deceleration and direction changes as they approached the range limits, to avoid directly rushing into the Dusk’s battle line.
Yet Dusk’s ships showed no sign of slowing down, instead charging toward the Space Station with intense firepower.
Several Dusk Ships even overloaded their shields due to violent collisions, causing mutual destruction with the Space Station’s ships.
Such nearly suicidal attacks allowed Dusk’s ships to suffer heavy losses in the first wave of fire, far exceeding those of the Space Station, but indeed managed to tear the battle line.
Several Dusk Ships not intertwined with the Space Station’s ships headed towards the Space Station.
Aiming to directly raid the Space Station, interfering with it to give their main force, Dusk’s Cruiser, an upper hand in the frontal battle.
Yet right before a few Dusk ships that crossed the battle line approached the Space Station.
The Space Station’s weapons had cooled down.
The Speed Particle Spear, capable of precise targeting, was already aid at them.
In almost an instant, it cleared away the most troubleso Dusk Destroyers.
And the remaining Frigates could be cleared using other small or dium weapons on the Space Station.
Although Dusk’s suicide charge failed to inflict any damage on the Space Station and suffered heavy losses itself.
Dusk’s purpose was achieved.
The Space Station used the Speed Particle Spear on the Destroyer, while Dusk’s Cruiser hit all three Speed Particle Spears on the Space Station shield.
After three continuous seconds of particle torrent ended, the Space Station’s shield showed intense fluctuations, almost overloading.
As a result, the Space Station abruptly shut down its shield.
Other energy weapons equipped on the Dusk Cruiser imdiately activated, with a sustained laser weapon targeting the Space Station’s two Speed Particle Spears.
But before the Dusk Cruiser managed to fire, small directed shields suddenly opened at all weapon carrying points on the Space Station.
These shields weren’t connected to the main shield of the Space Station, allowing them to continue operating.
Even if the sustained laser from the Dusk Cruiser hit, they couldn’t damage the Space Station’s weapons.
Thus, it imdiately adjusted its fire direction, the laser sweeping over Space Arms 7, 5, 3, and 1 of the Space Station.
Leaving a red mark instantly on the exterior of the Space Arm.
That’s the mark of steel being lted.
And the laser ultimately settled on the midsection of Space Arm 1.
In less than ten seconds, with the flow of countless incandescent molten steel, half of Space Arm 1 disconnected from the main structure of the Space Station.
Only then did the Space Station shield open again, all ripples disappearing and stabilizing once more.
Chen Ming looked at the section of Space Arm drifting in space, incredibly relieved he had moved Iron Ore No. out.
Otherwise, Iron Ore No., originally almost parked in the middle of the dock, would now be called Molten Ore No.
Just as Chen Ming was feeling a bit frightened, he suddenly discovered the opportunity he had been waiting for.
A Dusk Destroyer had drifted away from the main fleet.
This Dusk Destroyer had just crossed the Space Station fleet’s battle line, aiming directly at attacking the Space Station.
It hadn’t been directly hit by the Speed Particle Spear, but had been grazed by an ending laser beam at the tail.
While the ship wasn’t directly destroyed, the intense EMP impact caused by nurous high-energy particles passing through had completely disabled its engine.
Only the port side turning auxiliary engine was still functioning, causing it to helplessly spin in space, continuously flying further from the battlefield.
The Space Station naturally wouldn’t waste firepower on it, nor would those ships engaged in battle at the center.
Thus, this ship beca Chen Ming’s best target now.
But noticing this Destroyer and not engaged with Dusk’s ships were more than just the Iron Ore No.
Five other ships that ca from the Space Station also set their sights on it.
Everyone’s purpose was clear.
To capture the ship before others and to repel or even destroy other ships attempting to get ahead.
This was a risk Chen Ming had known might exist from the start.
Conflict with others was almost inevitable.
But Chen Ming hesitated not at all, piloting Iron Ore No. directly toward the spinning Dusk Destroyer.
Chen Ming had survived when three determined-to-kill Pirate Ships tried to take him out and buried them in the Dark Graveyard.
Now, if soone wants to compete with him for a al, Chen Ming doesn’t mind sinking a few more.
