Chapter 116: Chapter 91: Starshine Civilization Battlefield (Please Subscribe)_2

“`

Considering this, the interstellar battlefield before me actually serves as an excellent place to harvest Floating Land Origin. After all, based on a rough estimate from the Sky-Eye Surveillance radar, there are more than twenty thousand alien civilization starships in this battle zone, with several thousand of them being First Rank starships.

Of course, as tempting as it is, what is most critical right now is to endure until the complete activation of the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator.

Boom Boom Boom!

The main and secondary cannons fired continuously; the Floating Land Origin aboard Cangqiong was rapidly accumulating. In a state of Threefold Mind Utilization, the damage rate to the Cangqiong’s hull was greatly reduced. Finally, after narrowly dodging a barrage of fire, a dark energy shield encased the entire outer layer of the Cangqiong’s warship armor.

With the full activation of the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator, Song Chi became bolder in his maneuvers. He no longer focused most of his attention on dodging but instead precisely targeted the surrounding alien race starships with the Cangqiong’s main and secondary cannons.

The Dark Matter Energy Shield now boasted a shield value of over three hundred thousand points and even defense values in the tens of thousands. A direct hit from a Second Rank alien race starship barely inflicted any damage. Unless faced with concentrated fire from thousands of starships, Cangqiong was virtually safe, and Song Chi was not worried at all.

As he roamed through this interstellar battlefield, upon spotting a group of First Rank starships, Cangqiong immediately launched a cannon strike.

Previously, he was somewhat concerned that these unknown aliens might have other reinforcements. If a starship exceeding Second Rank energy level appeared, Cangqiong would still be at risk of sinking.

However, after collecting information from numerous starships over this period, he was no longer worried about this.

Through his recent data collection, he had essentially understood the situation of this alien civilization.

This was a technological civilization known as the “Starshine Civilization,” which had developed for just over two thousand years. Currently, it only occupied five Life Floating Lands and a dozen or so resource-type Floating Lands, with dominion extending merely a hundred light-years.

Because they had not mastered technologies such as spatial gates or space jumps, and tragically had not discovered wormholes or similar pathways in the Starry Sea, this Starshine Civilization was effectively trapped in this narrow star domain. For a thousand years, they had almost completely depleted the resources of this domain. Even now, the Starshine Civilization remained a low-tier, second-level technological civilization.

Perhaps it was because they saw no glimmer of hope that, over time, the Starshine Civilization not only did not vigorously pursue space-related technologies but instead wholly devoted itself to internal strife. Look, the current battle waging in this stellar battlefield is between two factions within the civilization.

Upon witnessing this, Song Chi felt a touch of sorrow. In his view, the Starshine Civilization resembled a frog looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, ignoring the vast star domain around it instead of trying to explore it and curling up in a small corner at the bottom of the well for a sense of security.

However, looking at it from another angle, a civilization born in an isolated corner of the Starry Sea might not even have the concept of spatial gates or space warps in their minds. Without such concepts, how can they think of researching or even breaking through such technologies?

Thinking of this, Song Chi couldn’t help but feel fortunate to have been born into Torchlight Humanity, a powerful high-tier civilization of the Starry Sea.

As he wandered along, time quickly passed, and half an hour flew by in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, a starship with a length close to a kilometer appeared in the direction Cangqiong was heading.

This starship had a nearly hundred-meter gaping hole on its right side, and the ship cannons at the bow were leaking copious thick smoke, clearly having been through a fierce battle.

Seeing this, Song Chi’s eyes flickered and then settled into resolute determination as he steered the Cangqiong straight towards it.

At the golden bow of the ship, a dazzling array of smooth lights rapidly converged—the Particle Beam Cannon was charging.

With the Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator in place, along with an enhanced Second Rank Particle Beam Cannon, Song Chi naturally wouldn’t miss this excellent opportunity.

Despite this Star Domain being extremely remote, it does have over twenty Starry Sea Floating Lands, among which there must be Starry Sea Oddities. As the highest class starship of the Starshine Civilization, a Second Rank starship has a non-negligible probability of possessing Starry Sea Oddities. With this assumption, Song Chi became even more resolute about sinking the heavily damaged Second Rank starship.

It seemed that the engine of this starship had been severely damaged in the previous battles, and facing the charging main cannon of the Cang Qiong, it didn’t attempt to dodge or avoid.

Boom!

The blazing particle beam shot out at incredible speed, heading straight for the forward Starshine Civilization’s Second Rank starship. Just when Song Chi thought that the other party might have some other tricks up their sleeve, the particle beam simply pierced straight through the starship.

Yes, pierced right through.

Despite the starship’s impressive size, nearly a kilometer in length and comparable to the cruisers among the Torch Warships, whether it was warship armor, firepower strength, cruising speed, or radar precision, all of it was far inferior to a cruiser. Not to mention cruisers, even escort ships could crush it in all aspects, and even a small number of Spectral Airships could do the same.

Therefore, it’s not true that the larger the warship, the stronger its combat power. Only when aspects such as armor defense, firepower strength, and cruising speed are all elevated, can one take advantage of the larger volume; otherwise, it’s just a moving target.

Song Chi was pleasantly surprised, knowing his guess was likely correct—this starship was unable to dodge Cang Qiong’s attacks due to its previously damaged engine.

While maneuvering the Cang Qiong around the Second Rank starship and waiting for the particle beam cannon to buffer, Song Chi continued to control Cang Qiong’s secondary cannons, sweeping fire primarily at the secondary cannon ports of the other Second Rank starship. Its main cannon had already been destroyed in previous battles, and now the only threat to the Cang Qiong were these secondary cannons.

Boom!

Whirring!

Amidst Cang Qiong’s secondary cannon’s sweeping fire, the alien race in the Second Rank starship naturally wasn’t just waiting to be destroyed; they were also controlling their starship’s secondary cannons to attack Cang Qiong, landing shots on the Dark Matter Energy Shield and causing ripples to spread across it.

But that was about it. An Orange Quality Shield Generator enhanced to level 29, how could it possibly be shaken by the Second Rank secondary cannons of a low-rank technological civilization?

It wasn’t long before the particle beam cannon’s buffering was complete. Once the charge time passed, another roaring beam of intense light shot out, piercing through the Second Rank starship ahead once more.

This time, the area pierced was the main control room of the starship, and following this round of attacks, the starship’s secondary cannons, which had been continuously firing, came to an abrupt halt. It seemed that this round of particle beam cannon attacks resulted in the death of all the aliens aboard the Second Rank starship.

Song Chi wasn’t in a hurry, though. Although many starships from the Starshine Civilization had rushed over, they were only Zero Rank and First Rank starships, which posed no threat to Cang Qiong. Therefore, he didn’t rush to summon the Fire Peony Soldier Figurines for boarding action but instead used the particle beam cannon to hit the starship several more rounds.

Only when he was reasonably sure that most of the aliens on the Second Rank starship were dead did he summon ten Fire Peony Soldier Figurines. After equipping second-hand military exoskeleton armor, he placed a brainwave beacon on one of the figurines, and only then did he open the hatch of Cang Qiong.

Under the leadership of the Fire Peony Soldier Figurine marked with the brainwave beacon, ten Figurines clad in military exoskeleton armor, holding high-level titanium alloy longswords and combat shields, charged directly into the engine room of the starship ahead.

Seeing the ten Fire Peony Soldier Figurines board the starship ahead, Song Chi immediately controlled Cang Qiong to distance itself from the Second Rank starship. Given that it was a Second Rank interstellar warship, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t have any tricks left, and with caution being paramount, Song Chi didn’t want to stay too close to it.

After all, the control distance of the brainwave remote control system was sufficient, and even though he had long exited the limit-breaking state, even in a dual-tasking state, he could still afford to remotely control the ten Fire Peony Soldier Figurines that had already charged into the starship’s engine room.
