Chapter 316 Board Jump
Just as the enemy marines were regrouping, the countdown timer for the bombs the robots had planted earlier had come to an end.
The 13 bombs detonated almost simultaneously, destroying five primary energy nodes and eight secondary energy nodes, and disrupting a large number of energy nodes with the spilled energy.
After detecting the disorder, the detection device activated the emergency device according to the preset procedure, causing all energy nodes in the front and middle sections of the enemy ship to enter a closed or throttling state according to the severity of the disorder.
As the emergency equipment was deployed, a series of alarms sounded in the enemy's main control room.
【Z区11号、8号能量节点破损，X区9号、6号能量节点破损。Y区12号能量节点损毁。】
【68号、72号、81号、87号、95号、103号、112号、119号，共计8个次级能量节点全部损毁】
The emergency devices at secondary energy nodes 82, 84, 109, and 117 cannot be activated.
The energy suppression and diversion system has been activated.
Energy nodes 6 in Zone Z, 10 in Zone X, and 14 and 9 in Zone Y are about to become overloaded. Secondary energy nodes in the vicinity have reached their maximum load capacity and are unable to export excess energy.
The damage control team proceeded to main energy nodes Z6, X10, Y14, and Y9 to use capacitors to remove excess energy.
Crew members near secondary energy nodes 82, 84, 109, and 117, proceed to the secondary energy nodes and manually activate the emergency devices.
"Disable the energy suppression system and redirect all excess energy to the main gun and laser cannons."
[Warning! Police—]
The silicon-based being, seated in the main seat, slammed its hand on the button beside it, forcibly disabling the warning from the intelligent assistance system.
Immediately afterwards, even more frequent alarms sounded.
[Warning! Shield 24's capacity has dropped to the critical level! Warning! Shield 24 has been breached.]
【警告！22号、18号、16号、12号护盾遭敌方集火，预计在1分12秒后全部跌入警戒线，1分23秒后被全部击破。】
【警告！227号、205号、399号、251号、355号等共计22门近防炮组全部离线。】
[WARNING! High-energy fluctuations detected at the stern of the ship!]
"Main engine #4 shut down; main engines #1 and #3 operate at full power; X-sector nozzles fully open; steer towards the negative X-axis."
After the command was given from the control room, the ship began to turn rapidly, but a few seconds later, it was forced to slow down due to several explosions.
Before the enemy marines entered the trap, the special operations team had already rendezvoused with the robot team that came to pick them up and had obtained ample ammunition and explosives.
Based on the intelligence provided by the robot squad, the special operations team learned about the situation outside.
In order to create an opportunity for evacuation, the special operations team decided to do the opposite, taking the robot team back deep into the stern of the ship to plant more bombs on the power supply lines of the enemy engines.
To avoid detection, the newly assembled robot squad split into two groups again, operating on the periphery of the special operations squad.
Led by the special operations team, the robot team successfully infiltrated the vicinity of the engine area and began using its own detection equipment to find suitable locations for bomb installation.
During the installation process, the special operations team and the two robot groups only encountered two waves of enemies. Fortunately, their own reconnaissance robots provided timely warnings, which averted danger and avoided unnecessary casualties.
After installing the bomb, the special operations team did not choose to delay the detonation. Instead, they added an extra monitoring device to the bomb and selected the explosion condition as: an increase in energy intensity within the pipeline.
After setting the detonation threshold, the special operations team, along with two robot squads, quickly evacuated the scene and moved along a path close to the hangar.
At this moment, the mechs that left the silicon-based bio-warship did not immediately leave or launch an attack. Instead, they collected the supply boxes scattered in space and put them back into the supply boxes on the enemy warship.
After loading the cargo, the mechs used their own emergency energy to power the replenishment bay, ensuring that it could fly out of the enemy's close-in weapon system's attack range while remaining invisible.
Thirty-seven seconds after the supply crate left the enemy ship's surface, the bomb exploded, causing the enemy warship's shield strength to drop rapidly, and one shield was destroyed.
At this moment, the special operations team also successfully reached the hangar in the middle area of the enemy ship and used the quantum transmitter to contact the mechs that were operating outside.
To ensure the survival of its crew members as much as possible, the mechs quickly dispersed and opened fire on the enemy ship's close-in weapon system.
Having cleared the threats from the evacuation route, the mechs regrouped, ready to blow up the enemy ship's hangar once more.
However, before the mechs could fully regroup, the enemy's two main engines spewed out scorching flames, propelling the ship to move and avoid attacks coming from the weak points of the shields at the rear of the ship.
At this point, the bombs planted by the special operations team came in handy.
After the sensor monitored for 2 seconds and determined that the energy intensity inside the pipe had increased, the three sets of wall-drilling bombs exploded simultaneously after completing the network verification. They instantly blasted through the wall and melted holes in the pipe.
A torrent of energy surged from the breach in the pipe, instantly filling the entire pipe area and successfully triggering the highest level of alarm and emergency response plan.
A piercing alarm sounded throughout the ship, and before the enemy could react, the intelligent auxiliary system had already begun to execute the emergency plan.
[Emergency plan activated. Main engines 1 and 4 shut down, power supply switched to shield and weapon systems!]
The mechs operating on the outer side of the enemy ship were unaware of all this and continued to slow down, approaching the explosion point.
The two robot teams located at the front of the ship accelerated and sped toward the enemy's main control room.
"boom!"
Two brilliant sparks bloomed on the shields at the stern of the enemy flagship. However, the shields had just been replenished with energy, and their recharge speed and shield strength had been improved. This attack did not achieve any actual results.
Faced with this situation, many officers, who had not been training for long, did not realize what was happening on the enemy's flagship, but Cleveland, who had fully absorbed the experience of space warfare, immediately understood the situation.
At this moment, the enemy's main ship was being targeted by concentrated fire from the fleet and fixed weapons in deep space, and four of its shields showed signs of breaking.
With the enemy's stern shields reinforced, the fact that the shields in the forward and midsection of the ship remain vulnerable indicates that the enemy ship is experiencing problems with its energy transmission.
This was clearly caused by the team that switched sides.
According to Cleveland's calculations, the four shields would begin to crack within 30 seconds.
After informing the entire ship of this situation, Lorraine quickly activated the quantum communication system directly connecting to the boarding team and ordered our side to begin evacuation.
At the same time, the locator placed next to the core area was also activated.
