Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1285 - 488: Storm (Part 3)

However, Ma Wei’an’s suggestion was highly valued by the "Network," and at the first moment, all work ships were put on high alert and preheated their engines.

But the terrifying aspect of natural disasters is that, even with prior warning, humans find it very difficult to evade them.

The dissemination speed of the gravitational field is the speed of light.

The maximum flight speed of work ships can only reach 0.2 times the speed of light, making them like small speedboats facing a tsunami, utterly unavoidable, left only to fate.

Even more frightening, this Dark Energy explosion has an extremely wide coverage.

The "Network" quickly provided auxiliary simulation data.

The simulation chart showed that all 997 vertical data chains were within the storm’s sweep range, without exception.

Isu Rock immediately decided to end Ren Zhong’s frozen state and awaken him.

However, Ren Zhong’s awakening requires time, and due to his special status, the emergency awakening mode cannot be used lightly, so it will take at least an hour for Ren Zhong to start working. Of course, even if Ren Zhong were awake now, he wouldn’t be able to do much; he could only boost morale or make new plans for potentially betraying the Empire.

Before Ren Zhong wakes up, Isu Rock, Liang Qifa, Zheng Dafa, Tang Youyun, Gao Ya, and the current military command duty Commander Vincent Fanhuoyi have already entered the online meeting room.

Before the meeting officially commenced, the work ships had already begun executing dispersed maneuvers.

The work ships located at the central part find it difficult to escape disaster, but those relatively at the edge seem to have a chance to struggle a bit more.

Isu Rock presented the data again and said: "The work ships in the central area are beyond salvation, but those with sequences under a hundred and above nine hundred can hold out a bit longer through dispersed maneuvers. However, according to the ’Network’s suggestion, the chaotic gravitational field will still sweep across large areas, just enough to cover all work ships in the 20 to 30 horizontal sequence, as if a giant knife sliced horizontally, making complete disconnection of our data links inevitable."

The aging Vincent Fanhuoyi rubbed his brow and proposed a different viewpoint, "I think those work ships that disconnected may not have been destroyed yet. The performance of work ships is excellent, and the operators are top-notch; even in such adversity, there is surely a chance some could survive. The essence of the so-called Dark Energy explosion is like the ancients with small sails venturing into stormy oceans; despite being perilous, ultimately there are always some who traverse the ocean to reach another continent. Now they are all out of contact, it’s only due to the chaotic gravitational field and radiation energy of the Dark Energy explosion being too strong, cutting off the signals. The specific operation commands have already been issued, and next, we can only await Earl’s awakening and rely on the warriors."

Meanwhile, Ahmed Sammy’s Falcon ship had already begun evasive maneuvers.

Though the core strike of the Dark Energy explosion had not yet arrived, small tear dark energy clusters were already scattering towards them at the speed of light.

Ma Wei’an watched the projection screen with keen concentration, quickly adjusting algorithms in his mind. Suddenly, he moved his fingers.

A battle warning simulation chart was projected onto the screen in front of Ahmed.

Captain Sammy saw a small Dark Energy cluster with a capture radius of 34 million kilometers slanting toward the second quadrant area, expected to arrive in 115 seconds.

Ahmed immediately chose to maneuver sideways to the left.

seconds later, the Falcon escaped the gravity capture radius.

Ahmed didn’t even have time to catch his breath as Ma Wei’an sent new information.

This time, three approaching Dark Energy clusters forming a triangle came to surround them, with their gravity field capture areas completely overlapping, leaving Falcon unable to escape.

Ahmed Sammy turned pale, relying purely on intuition to make a bold decision.

Not only did he not reduce speed, but instead accelerated forward.

He chose the midpoint generated by the overlapping of the three gravitational fields.

It was a straight line, the only chance of survival.

As long as he maintained Falcon’s center of mass along this line, he could let the three powerful gravitational forces form a subtle balance between each other.

The universe may be vast, but survival is only on this one line, with an error range not exceeding two meters.

seconds later, they passed through successfully.

Inside the ship, there was no time for cheering, as Ma Wei’an issued another danger alert.

This time, avoiding it was much easier, only requiring a routine maneuver.

Ma Wei’an was finally not being negligent, instead becoming inexplicably enthusiastic.

Ahmed finished compiling the preset maneuvers, then turned to glance at Ma Wei’an, "Well done, Ma Wei’an."

Ma Wei’an did not turn his face to look but lifted the corners of his mouth into a smirk.

"Captain Sammy, don’t be nervous; this is just the beginning. We are about to face stormy waves, unleash your limits. Our sequence is 981, one of the vertical sequence ships with the highest chance to survive. So, we absolutely cannot make mistakes."
