Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chen Ming quickly observed several ships that were about to conflict with him.

There are five ships in total, one of which is an ordinary civilian ship without model.

Among the other four ships, there are two Expedition-class ships, one Sentinel-class ship, and one destroyer, Cerberus-class ship.

This configuration looks familiar. Is it a caravan?

As soon as this thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, he saw the two expedition-class ships suddenly changing their course and aiming at Chen Ming's Iron Ore.

The weapons on the ship are also changing direction and are about to lock on Chen Ming's dazzling white iron ore.

Although the Cerberus-class ship was slightly behind, its course was obviously heading towards the Iron Ore, and it was obviously going to cooperate with the two Conquerors to attack the Iron Ore.

Although the Sentinel-class ship did not move, it quickly approached the spinning Afterglow destroyer by virtue of the mobility advantage brought by its light armor.

"They are indeed together."

Chen Ming couldn't help but mutter to himself, and his heart beat a little faster.

However, he was still thinking calmly, thinking about how he could seize the Afterglow spaceship from four spaceships that could work together in such a situation.

The other civilian ship had already noticed that something was wrong at this time and rationally withdrew from the fight.

But the word "retreat" did not appear in Chen Ming's mind at all.

He has already had the experience of succeeding in one versus three, so the result this time will definitely be the same as last time.

Even without the assistance of the asteroid belt, Chen Ming was able to completely defeat them with the spacecraft itself.

At this moment, a communication request was sent.

Chen Ming knew who sent this, so he simply ignored it.

The two electromagnetic javelins on the left and right sides of the Iron Ore have locked onto the Expedition-class ship that dared to stop in front of him.

After the dull hammering sound of the electromagnetic javelin, Chen Ming's expedition-level weapon on Chen Ming's left suddenly exploded like fireworks.

A shot from the electromagnetic javelin just happened to hit the spot where it stored engine fuel.

It is obviously impossible for a spaceship armor that has not been specially strengthened to withstand the attack of Chen Ming's electromagnetic javelin that has undergone extensive modifications and also possesses armor-piercing electromagnetic bombs.

The other expedition-class ship was obviously panicked and opened fire on the Iron Ore from a distance far beyond the limit of their range.

The bullet speed and accuracy of civilian weapons at this distance can be said to be beyond description. Not a single expedition-level bullet successfully hit the Iron Ore.

As for Chen Ming, the six seconds of reloading time passed.

The electromagnetic javelin fired two armor-piercing electromagnetic projectiles in the second round. Although it could not directly hit the expedition-class engine due to the blind spot, it still dismantled two of its weapons.

Having lost two-thirds of its firepower, the expedition class had completely lost its threat to Chen Ming.

And it was only now that it barely entered its own attack range.

As if making a final death struggle, the Expedition-class fired at the Iron Ore with the 30mm machine gun on the last remaining load-bearing point.

Then the people at the expedition level saw a scene that made them despair.

Since the Expedition-class and Chen Ming's Iron Mine were almost head-on collision, almost all the bullets fired by the Expedition-class hit.

But on the Iron Ore's obviously specially strengthened armor, all the bullets left at most a dent, unable to penetrate the Iron Ore's armor at all.

It's too late for the expedition level to leave now.

After Chen Ming's electromagnetic javelin was loaded, two armor-piercing electromagnetic bombs paralyzed its last weapon, and the engine was also penetrated and caught fire.

The expedition level completely lost its combat capability.

Chen Ming ignored the Cerberus slowly chasing behind him and flew straight towards the Afterglow Destroyer.

At the same time, he continued to control the electromagnetic javelin to lock the paralyzed expedition-class engine.

After three rounds of shooting, the second Expedition-class ship followed in the footsteps of its companions.

The Cerberus class no longer dared to continue the pursuit at this time.

The Sentinel class in front also seemed to be hesitant.

But the next moment, Chen Ming suddenly saw a missile with a black-red tail flame suddenly appearing on the right front of the Sentinel-class, where the missile was mounted.

Flying straight towards the Afterglow Destroyer, which was unable to make any maneuvers.

Chen Ming's expression suddenly changed.

Because this missile with a black and red tail flame is the iconic feature of a terrorist weapon that has gained considerable popularity thirty years ago.

Death torpedo.

Its name is very unpretentious, and it does not have its own guidance function like many missiles. It will follow the same trajectory when it is launched.

And it is not endorsed by any major weapons manufacturing company, nor does any designer admit that it is their design.

Such a seemingly low-tech missile with no actual combat value was widely circulated thirty years ago.

The reason is that the concentrated anti-matter catalytic nuclear warhead carried by the Death torpedo can cause instant destructive power almost equivalent to that of a large weapon in an instant.

And something big happened during the time when the Death Torpedo first appeared.

There was a military capital ship facing a group of pirates.

Perhaps because of arrogance, or perhaps because of a malfunction, its shield was not activated, and the point defense weapon just missed the four death torpedoes launched by the pirates.

Then, the battleship was sunk.

This military scandal spread throughout the entire human empire thirty years ago, creating the reputation of the Death Torpedo.

No one knows who has mastered the manufacturing technology of the Reaper torpedo, and no one knows who has been manufacturing it.

But it always appears occasionally on the black market of a space station.

Unexpectedly, after thirty years, Chen Ming can still see its traces.

But Chen Ming did not expect that he would see such a launched Reaper torpedo in this situation.

The Sentinel-class would rather bear the loss to launch a precious Reaper torpedo at a paralyzed Yuhui, so their meaning is very clear.

What they can't get, others can't get.

Although Chen Ming is very angry now, he didn't show it through actual actions.

Because he still knows the best countermeasure method of the Reaper torpedo before it really hits, destroy it.

The Reaper torpedo has no guidance system and can only fly in a straight line. For any spacecraft with numerical control capabilities and weapon systems, it is not a difficult task.

Just relax, calm down, and press the launch button of the weapon.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and completely ignored the Sentinel-class that had already fled in another direction.

The trajectory of the Reaper torpedo launch was calculated and locked through the spacecraft computer.

But at the moment when the electromagnetic javelin was fired, the hull of the Iron Ore suddenly vibrated slightly.

The slight deviation caused one electromagnetic javelin to miss, and the other electromagnetic bomb only grazed the edge of the torpedo and failed to destroy it directly.

The sudden vibration of the Iron Ore was not due to Chen Ming's driving error, but the Iron Ore was hit by the random strafing of the Cerberus class out of range.

The location where the Sentinel class launched the Reaper torpedo was not too far from the Afterglow destroyer, and the six seconds for the electromagnetic javelin to reload was not enough to destroy it before the torpedo hit.

The complete destruction of the Afterglow destroyer was a foregone conclusion.

With such a result,

Chen Ming could no longer suppress his anger, and slammed his fist on the workbench in front of him, his face extremely dark.

However, things seemed to have not completely lost their chances. The electromagnetic bomb that just grazed the Reaper torpedo also had some impact on the trajectory of the Reaper torpedo.

The missile that was supposed to hit the center of the Afterglow destroyer fell on the bow of the spacecraft.

After the devastating antimatter nuclear warhead exploded.

Half of the Afterglow destroyer completely disappeared, and the remaining half was thrown out by the violent explosion for an unknown distance.

The Sentinel and Cerberus had given up the fight for the spacecraft and planned to leave.

But Chen Ming didn't want to let them go.

Anyway, he had locked the flight trajectory of the half of the Afterglow destroyer that had been completely paralyzed, and knew where it would fly next.

Since no one was competing with him, he had enough time and energy to deal with some things that made him very unhappy.

Chen Ming locked the Cerberus and Sentinel again, and said in an extremely gloomy tone: "None of you can leave today."

Chen Ming turned the bow of the Iron Ore and tracked the Sentinel, which was closer to him.

The size of the Cerberus was there, and it was basically impossible to escape.

Its only possibility of escape was to directly activate the hyperspace channel system and escape through the hyperspace channel.

The Iron Ore did not have a hyperspace channel system, and there was no way to pursue it.

However, the activation of the hyperspace channel system is conditional.

First and foremost, the hyperspace channel system cannot be activated inside a galaxy.

Because once this is done, the huge gravity wells generated by the stars in the galaxy in the hyperspace channel will directly tear apart any spacecraft.

They must first escape the range of the star gravity well before they can safely evacuate through the hyperspace channel.

So it seems that the faster Sentinel-class has a greater chance of escaping.

Chen Ming must give priority.

After determining that the speed of the Iron Ore would definitely not catch up with the Sentinel-class, Chen Ming directly activated the overload power grid of the spacecraft.

The temperature of the engine was rising, and the Iron Ore also instantly burst out at a higher speed.

Before the Sentinel-class completely pulled away, it rushed into the range of the electromagnetic javelin.

The electromagnetic javelin is invincible in front of a ship without a shield.

Once caught up, there is only one possibility that can happen next.

The weapons are destroyed, the engines are destroyed, and the spacecraft is paralyzed like scrap metal.

This Sentinel-class is no exception.

After the counterattack that did not pose any threat to the Iron Ore, the Sentinel drifted in space like a lamb to be slaughtered. Chen Ming immediately controlled the Iron Ore to approach and gave it a new force with the traction equipment on the spacecraft. It stopped the previous action and flew in the direction of half of the Afterglow Destroyer. After doing this, Chen Ming turned the bow again and stared at the Cerberus class that had not run far. At this time, due to the continuous high power output of the overloaded power grid, even with the isolation assembly, the temperature of the engine was about to reach the dangerous critical temperature. Chen Ming immediately activated the emergency cooling device he had installed before, and a large amount of molten silver that absorbed heat energy was directly discharged into space, and the temperature inside the spacecraft immediately dropped. It was able to continue to maintain a very high speed and rush towards the last Cerberus class. It caught up with it before it left the gravity well of the star.

Although the anger in Chen Ming's heart had not been completely vented at this time, his brain was not occupied by anger and he still remained calm.

Last time he missed all the good things on the Cerberus-class ship except the cargo hold because of his nervousness and enthusiasm. This time he would not make the same mistake again.

After paralyzing the Cerberus, Chen Ming directly used the mining laser to forcibly cut the spacecraft.

He planned to cut off the Cerberus-class cargo bay and the installed medium-sized load-bearing points.

Although using a mining laser will directly expose the fragile interior of the spacecraft, the paralyzed Cerberus class certainly has no ability to resist.

As for other spaceships that may have had some intentions just now, they wanted to fish in troubled waters on the edge of the battlefield.

After seeing the fate of these four ships, no one dared to provoke this white civilian mining ship.

So Chen Ming can start cutting with peace of mind.

During the cutting process, Chen Ming also saw through the cut part of the Cerberus-class armor that there were several people wearing protective clothing kneeling on the exposed deck with their hands raised.

But Chen Ming ignored them. After removing the equipment at the medium-sized load-bearing points, he continued to cut open the cargo hold.

After discovering that the cargo hold of the Cerberus-class ship was empty, Chen Ming directly controlled the electromagnetic javelin to greet the Cerberus-class engine.

Soon, the flames of the explosion covered the desperate faces under protective suits and helmets.

Chen Ming pulled the medium load-bearing point and the weapons on it and left the battlefield area.

Continue to chase the half-ship that was just thrown away and the Sentinel class that Chen Ming got in that direction.

Just when Chen Ming was busy with his own affairs.

The battle on the big battlefield came to an end after a while.

Under Yuhui's almost desperate strategy of interfering with the space station, the space station has completely lost three space arms: 1, 3, and 9.

The No. 1 Space Arm, which was originally only half-broken, was targeted by the Afterglow Cruiser from behind, and the remaining half was floating in space like the first half.

And the outer layer of the space station is almost entirely covered with scorching traces left by high-intensity lasers.

There were originally about 130 space station spaceships, but now only about 60 were still operational.

There were no more than eighty ships with living people left.

Such a heavy loss, of course, also made Yu Hui pay a heavy price.

Afterglow's hundreds of destroyers and escorts were all destroyed, and the Afterglow cruiser was close to being paralyzed.

It even destroyed a large load-bearing point, leaving behind a tachyon spear modified by Afterglow.

It's a pity that in the end, the Afterglow Cruiser took advantage of the space station's tachyon spear to cool down, forcibly closed the shield, activated a more advanced jump engine than the hyperspace channel system, and jumped directly to escape from here.

But even if the Afterglow Cruiser was not left behind, judging from the remaining conditions on the battlefield.

The battle on the space station can definitely be called a success.
