593 – Sleeping Consumes Less Energy
TL : GoldenLung
One of them flew silently to the side of the Heaven Planet warship that was blocking them.
While the other party was resisting Lan Xuanyu’s soul cannon with all their might, the antimatter missiles had already closed in on them. The missiles exploded instantly, and the terrifying might that carried the characteristics of antimatter directly tore open space and tore apart the protective shield of that warship. The main cannon under Lan Xuanyu’s control took advantage of the situation and directly blasted into the warship. Under a huge explosion, half of the entire warship was enveloped by flames.
Lan Xuanyu had already controlled the Tang Sect’s warship to abruptly swing horizontally and change directions. All the engines went full power and they fled quickly.
Seeing the sudden explosion, the seven or eight pirate warships immediately charged over like angry bulls.
Pirate warships had always been known for their speed. Once at full power, they were extremely fast.
However, the front few warships that were flying at the front suddenly exploded. The front ends of the two warships were torn apart and flung horizontally in the air, blocking the two warships behind.
This was the effect of the other three antimatter missiles. Lan Xuanyu didn’t use them to attack directly. Instead, he controlled these antimatter missiles to fly to a designated location and they entered a state of silence. The phantom missiles that were in a state of silence couldn’t be detected by any radar and could only be swept away by firepower reconnaissance.
However, these pirate spaceships didn’t expect that Lan Xuanyu would actually set up a few antimatter missiles in the air like mines.
When they collided, their defensive barriers were only half opened because they hadn’t entered the battle yet! They were obviously at a disadvantage.
Deng Bo could no longer think as he looked at the two spaceships of Heaven Planet that were in flames outside the porthole. He asked himself if he could even do better than Lan Xuanyu against so many pirate spaceships. ‘This brat seems to have been born for the space battle, huh?’
At this moment, the Tang Sect’s reconnaissance warship was already moving at full speed. There were still three pirate warships behind them that were not affected by the previous explosion.
Both parties were very fast, and these three pirate spaceships seemed to have realized what Lan Xuanyu had done just now. They spread out and accelerated from three different directions, chasing after them. From time to time, they would shoot out soul rays and perform a crossfire to block their path.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu displayed his level as a space fighter pilot ranked within the top 10,000 in the entire Federation.
His hands moved swiftly and in coordination with his brainwaves. One could see that his hands were moving so fast that afterimages were left behind. The Tang Sect’s reconnaissance warship kept making all sorts of evasive maneuvers. Drift, swing, roll, acceleration in two steps. Even the Cobra Straightening Up move.
All of a sudden, the Tang Sect’s reconnaissance warship was filled with alarms. Doing all sorts of evasive maneuvers at full speed was a huge burden on the warship!
However, Lan Xuanyu acted as though he was completely unaware of this and kept dodging. He really dodged most of the warship’s artillery fire.
The Tang Sect’s reconnaissance spaceship gradually turned on its phantom state and gradually turned invisible.
Just as Deng Bo had mentioned before, the Tang Sect’s reconnaissance spaceships were incomparable to those from Heaven Planet in terms of performance. Very soon, they shook off those reconnaissance spaceships and relied on their invisibility state to fly into the depths of the universe.
This process wasn’t long. From Lan Xuanyu’s attack to dodging attacks and entering stealth mode, it only took about ten minutes.
But these ten minutes could definitely be described as thrilling. This space chase ended with them escaping.
Lan Xuanyu placed both hands on the control panel again and heaved a sigh of relief. He mumbled to himself, “Warships are indeed different from space fighters. Their limits are slightly weaker and they aren’t too agile. If they were as agile as space fighters and we had more antimatter missiles, we might have been able to destroy those three warships.”
The helmet rose. After leaving the battle, they only needed to rely on the warship’s auto navigation to bring them back.
At this moment, he was still immersed in that short battle. This was the first time Lan Xuanyu had truly engaged in a space warship battle. This feeling was simply too exciting and satisfying.
Deng Bo looked at the excitement in his eyes and it looked as though he wanted to go back to destroy his enemies. He couldn’t help but cover his eyes with his handcuffed hands. He couldn’t understand this world anymore! He really couldn’t understand it.
Youngsters nowadays were really…
“Boss, can I vomit at the back now?” Qian Lei looked at Lan Xuanyu pitifully. His face was extremely pale.
“Go on,” Lan Xuanyu said in annoyance. “I told you to practice your piloting skills properly. You can’t take it anymore, right?”
The first to charge out was not Qian Lei, but Liu Feng. A man’s sense of balance was naturally weaker than a woman’s. Furthermore, they had not been learning space fighters for long. Lan Xuanyu did not hold back at all during the previous intense piloting session. It was already close to the limits of the Tang Sect’s reconnaissance spaceship. One could only imagine the impact.
Lan Xuanyu stood up from the main control seat and moved his body. He was still in a state of high excitement. The consumption of his spiritual power previously wasn’t too great. As for the piloting time, it wasn’t much for an ace pilot like him who was often abused by Tang Zhenhua.
He walked over to Deng Bo and said, “Team leader, from the piloting just now, I feel that our Tang Sect’s reconnaissance warship still needs to be improved. For example, I feel that we can shorten its length. This way, the impact of a drift will be reduced and the waist of the warship can be thicker to increase stability. Most importantly, can we equip more antimatter missiles? If there are eight, hehe.”
“Do you think antimatter missiles are cabbages?” Deng Bo raged. “Those are powerful weapons that can temporarily tear space apart. You used four of them at once, I will settle the score with your academy when we get back.”
“Ahem, team leader, I think you should have some self-awareness as a captive. Right now, this warship has been captured by us.” Lan Xuanyu patted Deng Bo’s shoulder.
“B*stard, you little lunatic, just you wait and see how I will report this to your school…” Deng Bo’s roar was sealed in his mouth by tape.
The one who took out the tape was Yuanen Huihui, while the one who did it was Tang Yuge.
Tang Yuge replied indifferently, “We don’t have to worry about debts. They don’t bite. We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
Lan Xuanyu: “If you seal the captain’s mouth, how is he going to eat?”
Lan Mengqin came over at this moment and looked at Deng Bo, whose eyes were filled with anger. “We should be here in two days, right? You shouldn’t get hungry in two days. Team leader, you can sleep, sleeping consumes less energy.”
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu suddenly thought of a problem. Could the Ring of Fate store this Tang Sect’s reconnaissance warship? If he counted, it seemed to be quite similar! This Tang Sect reconnaissance spaceship was over 40 meters long, but it wasn’t very wide, especially since the warship’s wings could be retracted. The entire width was about 20 meters, and the height was about 10 meters. In this way, the entire size should be between 8,000 to 9,000 cubic meters. The Ring of Fate had a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters. And the strange thing was that the dimensions of the storage space could be adjusted. So, it seemed, possible, and barely, possible to store this Tang Sect’s reconnaissance spaceship! Then, if it could be stored inside…
