Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 23 Fleet Raid
"Doesn't belong to Sequence 4?" Frege asked suspiciously, "Then what kind of origin does it come from?"

"I can only tell you that it doesn't belong to Sequence 4, and I can't explain it to you for a while."

After Nuoya finished speaking, she turned her attention back to the screen, "How is it?"

This sentence was said to Guard No. [-]. Seeing that she no longer paid attention to him, Frege had no choice but to go to the main console to observe together.

"It's not too good," Guard No. [-] said with a serious expression, "The probes left at the Black Wolf base have been destroyed. If there is no accident, the other party's advance troops should have arrived at the star port."

"How long until the jump engine starts?"

"About 10 minutes, but at the current speed, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the enemy to chase—"

His voice stopped abruptly here, not only him, but also Frege and Noah stared at the sea of ​​stars outside the window.

The emerald green nebula looked particularly quiet at the foot, and the time and space above were still full of wars.

They... have returned to the Emerald Corridor!

"This is impossible!" Janitor-[-] quickly called up the flight log, "The direction I sailed is clearly away from the star gate, why did I come back here..."

Noah looked solemnly at the Black Wolf Fleet not far away, "I think, I probably know why."

【warn!Ships detected as targets for energy weapons! 】

"Guard One, liberate the A-1 cabin, and activate the psionic synergy component."

Looking at the reminder that lit up on the screen, Noah commanded without thinking.

"Psychic synergy component..." Frege was stunned, "What is that?"

"Things that keep you alive."

After she finished speaking, she came to Guard No. 2, "Afterwards, I will liberate the A-[-] cabin, put all the spiritual source reserves into the reactor, and use the synergy component to synchronously psychize the thrusters."

"The psionic reactor is converting the ship's energy storage, and the remaining completion time is 651.23 seconds." Janitor One replied calmly.

"Our position is too dangerous. There are only about 300 seconds left before the enemy's shipborne energy cannon hits..."

"When the ship's energy storage is converted to half, it will be paused first, and the spiritual energy shield will be activated, with an efficiency of 35%"

"After resisting the first wave of attacks, activate the psionic thruster immediately," she continued to order, "as long as we can escape the lock, we will be safe for the time being."

"Yes, Master Noah."

Guard No. [-] entered a series of codes on the console, while Frege was lost in thought.

psionic?

What did they just say... psychic power?
At this time, Frege understood a little bit, why Noah said that the wealth on this ship surpassed that of the entire Galactic Federation.

The technology of psionic species...

This is a treasure that even those large empires covet for a long time...

"Don't ask any questions, I don't have time to answer you now."

Nuoya said something without looking back, her attention was all on the tens of thousands of data called up on the screen.

Frege was dazed at the side. In fact, he began to suspect from the explorer's notes that most of this strange power came from mysterious psionic forces.

Is this also the case with the Amrodia?
In his view, the psionic civilization will never allow any mysteries related to psionics to flow outside.

Occasionally, there will be some special people among the improved species, who will unexpectedly show psionic talent when they awaken.

And the psionic civilization has only one way to deal with this situation——

Find him and deal with him.

All but what is in their hands must be destroyed.

With their technical strength, it should only be a matter of time before they find this ship...

Noah didn't notice his cranky thoughts, and explained to him while he was in the middle of the operation, "The A-1 compartment stores the psionic synergy device, and the A-2 compartment stores the renewable spiritual source."

She pointed to the projection that appeared on the screen on the other side, "Renewable spiritual sources can be transformed into spiritual energy reserves by consuming some rare ores, and these spiritual energy can be used to supply ships after passing through the synergy device."

As soon as the voice fell, the broadcast in the main control room sounded again:

[Warning: The energy cannon is about to hit, countdown: 9, 8, 7...]

"The spiritual energy shield has been activated, and the current effectiveness is 35%"

Guard One reported the current situation.

【Countdown: 3, 2, 1...】

"boom……"

Frege's eyes widened. This was the first time he was hit by a shipboard energy cannon in reality.

Especially when countless energy cannons hit at the same time.

When he was still in the academy, he had played Star Wars simulation games. Although the scenes in it had been reproduced in sevens and eighties, there was no way to simulate such an experience of being on the verge of extinction.

I saw the light blue light beam bombarding the energy shield that expanded to a distance of about [-] meters. The shield that was originally transparent has now been stained with a touch of purple, and sparks are emitted from time to time at the points that come into contact with the light beam. .

Seeing the condition of the shield, Noah pondered for a moment and summoned the transparent ball again.

"Do you want to use crystals?"

Frege instantly understood her plan.

"Take it as a toll..."

Noah gritted her teeth and directly inserted two 4-01 crystals into the sphere, and the cabin was immediately filled with blue light.

"[Shield Strengthening] activated!"

This ray of light penetrated the hull of the ship, and soon spread to the shield.

"The increase in the source of power is the most direct," she explained back to Frege. "Now the energy level of the shield has increased by at least three levels compared to before. It is easy to block these energy beams."

As if to confirm her statement, before the blessed spiritual shield turned, those energy beams hit it and quickly scattered to the surrounding area.

After a while, those light beams disappeared completely, and the shield returned to purple, but it looked much dimmer than before.

Fortunately, the Amrodia, which was wrapped by it, was not damaged at all.

"Great……"

The three people in the main control room breathed a sigh of relief.

Frege also noticed that in the ship information recorded in the notebook, the level of the Amrodia, which was loaded with two third-class crystals, had been increased from 3 to 1.1.

"Activate the psionic thruster," Noah continued to order, "Get out of the dangerous star field at full speed."

"Yes."

Guard No. [-] kept inputting a string of codes in front of the main console, and beside him, Frege stared at the screen with a trace of hesitation.

Noah noticed his changes, and moved closer to explain: "You should know the attitude of psionic civilizations towards psionic technology, right?"

"Ah."

"Relax, we do not belong to any psionic civilization."

"That's good..." Frege breathed a sigh of relief, "Wait a minute, it doesn't belong to the psionic civilization... Wouldn't it make people more worried!?"

"So we need to be concealed," Noah sighed, "The records of the use of the two psionic technologies just now will not appear in the ship's logbook. Later, I need to conduct anti-mind control training on you."

"Psionic species are best at this ability. If there is no special enhancement, you may unconsciously reveal all your secrets when you meet them."

"I understand, Teacher Nuoya!"

Seeing this, Noah nodded in satisfaction. She looked at the fleets still fighting not far from the window, but another picture appeared in her eyes.

It was also a confrontation between fleets, but the scale was far larger than the scene before us.

The sky is full of flames and the wreckage is scattered all over the sea of ​​stars, and finally everything dies...

There is no sound in the universe, it is always so peaceful.

Unknowingly, a few tears dripped from the corners of Nuoya's eyes, but the two focused on the side didn't notice it at all.

"One day, we'll be back again..."
