Although he had already heard Yu Xinran say it just now, after seeing this, Duan Hengye couldn’t help but continue to ask, “Is there really no way to tell the level of this Stellar Explosion now?”
In the end, Yu Xinran had just awakened from her coma, and her physical strength wasn’t very good. Her hands had been propped up on the table while she was talking just now, and now she finally couldn’t help but sit down. Seeing her like this, Duan Hengye slowly shook her head, then sighed, ”The Stellar Explosion has only just begun, so we’re still able to see the map and receive reports on the battle. After a while, the various communications will also be interrupted in turn.”
After saying these words, Yu Xinran buried her face into her palm. Duan Hengye had never seen Yu Xinran this disheveled before, and this was completely different from the woman who was so spirited before. Duan Hengye probably knew why Yu Xinran had shown such an expression – with the imperial family taking a back seat and the birth of the new mecha, the Ye Tian Empire had vaguely shown signs of returning to the top.
Even if they were to go to w.ar with five countries at the same time this time, Southern Star and even the entire Ye Tian Empire was full of confidence.
But who made the human plan not as good as heaven’s plan, no one could have expected that the battlefield area would have a stellar explosion suddenly erupt …… All of a sudden, the original wa.r situation that was in favor of Ye Tian Empire swung back up. Although she was a member of the military, Yu Xinran also had her own worries and panic. She was worried that the w.ar situation would be at a disadvantage due to the sudden stellar explosion, and even more so, she was afraid that Meng Jinhuai would fall as a result.
Now that Meng Jinhuai had led Dongfang Hewen towards the interstellar battlefield, Duan Hengye and Yu Xinran had the most power among those who stayed on the starship at this time. Although theoretically speaking, as the spouse of a marshal, Duan Hengye was perfectly capable of temporarily leading the entire military department, but after all, he had no military experience. After hearing this, Duan Hengye’s assistant, Ye Pu, couldn’t help but ask Yu Xinran, “Then what should we do now?”
After hearing Ye Pu’s question, Yu Xinran slowly raised her head. After only a few seconds, a strong sense of exhaustion appeared on Yu Xinran’s face. Then she looked at the light screen again, she then said to Duan Hengye and Ye Pu, “The size of a stellar explosion isn’t fixed, it will constantly change over time. According to the current situation, the Marshal will definitely not tell Dongfang Hewen to come closer.”
“Hm.” After hearing this, Ye Pu also nodded. Unlike the “Earthling” Duan Hengye, the native interstellar resident Ye Pu understood this common sense.
Then he heard Yu Xinran continue, “However, the duration of the …… Stellar Explosion is not fixed. If it can end in a short period of time, then it is not worth worrying too much. The stellar explosion will affect mecha signal propagation, and before the signal completely disappears, we should be able to deduce its approximate severity using known information.”
After speaking here, Yu Xinran stopped continuing to speak. Even though the sentence wasn’t well put, Duan Hengye felt as if he understood what Yu Xinran meant – to listen to heaven’s fate. This word sounded too pessimistic, but Duan Hengye really distilled it from Yu Xinran’s words just now.
It wasn’t hard to imagine that the Li Sheng Alliance was sacrificing dozens of mechas – or even more – to trap Meng Jinhuai in a stellar explosion. After listening to Yu Xinran’s words, Duan Hengye had already summarized the natural phenomenon of “Stellar Explosion” in his mind as a collection of earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions on Earth. Under such circumstances, the rest of the Empire’s mechas that weren’t inside the stellar explosion definitely couldn’t hastily go to Meng Jinhuai’s location, and even in order to prevent the scope of the stellar explosion from suddenly expanding, Meng Jinhuai would probably also give them a signal to stay away.
Diid it mean that they could only listen to God’s fate now?
After thinking of this, Duan Hengye continued to ask, “What are the main injuries of a stellar explosion to a mech? Were there any examples of mechas being trapped in it before?” Subconsciously, Duan Hengye’s speed of speech quickened quite a bit and put on a bit of a commanding tone. After hearing Duan Hengye’s words, Yu Xinran had the illusion that the person she was facing was not Duan Hengye, but Meng Jinhuai.
In fact, the questions that he had asked were really very basic for Yu Xinran, but she answered them without the slightest hint of impatience, ”Physically, depending on the size of the stellar burst, it will cause light and heavy light burns as well as tears to the mecha. But this is not the most terrifying ……” After saying this, Yu Xineran suddenly let out a big sigh, she looked up at Duan Hengye, to make sure that the other party’s face expression didn’t change too much before continuing, “The Marshal’s mecha is a top-class mecha, although the intensity of the Stellar Explosion is very high, he only needs to be able to hold on until the surrounding mechas are seriously injured. However, …… the Stellar Explosion will not only cause physical damage to the mecha, but it will also affect the control system of the mecha.”
After Yu Xinran finished her previous sentence, Duan Hengye let out a sigh of relief. The materials used for the new type of mecha were extremely revolutionary, and Duan Hengye firmly believed that there was no other mecha in the stars that could compare to it. According to what Yu Xinran had just said, although Meng Jinhuai was currently trapped in the center of the stellar explosion, when the ordinary mechas around him were injured and unable to complete the siege mission, he would be able to successfully escape.
But before Duan Hengye could finish letting that breath out, Yu Xinran’s latter sentence made Duan Hengye’s heart skip a beat.
“Affecting the mecha control system?” He couldn’t help but repeat what Yu Xinran had just said.
Duan Hengye was, after all, a mecha designer, and before Yu Xinran could answer his confusion, Duan Hengye figured out the problem on his own. The signals of the mecha were propagated through a special medium in the universe, and in addition to that, the signal transmission of the control system within the mecha was also built to mimic that medium. If the stellar explosion would affect the mech’as signal transmission, then it would definitely affect the mecha’s control system as well.
Cold sweat gradually broke out on Duan Hengye’s palms.
As the designer of the mecha “Nanwei”, Duan Hengye clearly knew that the material of the new mecha had been greatly revolutionized compared to the previous one. However,……, he was also very clear that the signal transmission channel of the mecha had not changed. How the control system of the old mecha would be affected, the new mecha would also be affected.
If the stellar explosion lasted for a long time, the mecha wouldn’t necessarily suffer much trauma, but the disruption of the system was unavoidable.
Duan Hengye suddenly placed his hand on his light device.
“What are you going to do?” Yu Xinran asked.
White and slender fingers slowly scratched across the metallic shell of the light device, Duan Hengye shook his head, “It’s nothing ……,” but in reality, he had already secretly made a dangerous decision.
Just like what Yu Xinran had said earlier, the signals coming from the battlefield side towards the starship had now gradually become weak. It was at this time that Duan Hengye’s and Yu Xinran’s light devices, which had been suspended on the other side, lit up at the same time.
The blinding red light told Duan Hengye and Yu Xinran that this message was very important. Yu Xinran’s movements weren’t very convenient yet, so he first opened the message on his own light device. Immediately afterward, there was text that appeared on the light screen in front of the three of them.
……
He had just issued an order to Dongfang Hewen, as well as the rest of the military department’s participants in the battle – to quickly retreat.
The signal continued to decline, and Duan Hengye saw that the team on the map belonging to the Empire began to rapidly retreat after receiving the order, but despite this, before Duan Hengye and Yu Xinran could see clearly where they were retreating to, the signal on the top of the map disappeared completely and utterly.
Just now, those mechas had been parked in place, watching the battlefield, waiting to join Meng Jinhuai when the stellar explosion weakened.
But now, they received the signal to retreat.
Before Duan Hengye could think of anything, Yu Xinran said coldly, “The range and intensity of the Stellar Explosion has gotten bigger.”
It was true that stellar explosions could not artificially predict changes, but as someone who was at the center of a stellar explosion, Meng Jinhuai was indeed able to have a bit of advance perception. Since the Marshal was able to send out such a message, it proved that the stellar explosion had already had a tendency to become larger in the location he was currently in.
The worst possible thing had happened.
With the interruption of the map signal, the small galaxy consisting of five star spheres that had been hanging in front of the three of them also disappeared. Seeing the empty scene in front of them, the tension in Duan Hengye’s heart became more and more tense. However, he soon remembered another thing, in addition to the map, the light device was also connected to Meng Jinhuai’s mecha operation data. Although the transmission principle was almost all the same, the new mecha’s signal transmitting device was stronger than the rest in the end.
Just when the map signal was completely cut off, Duan Hengye’s side was still able to see Meng Jinhuai’s mecha’s operation.
After Duan Hengye’s debugging, what appeared on the largest light screen in the room was Meng Jinhuai’s mecha’s operating data. Although Yu Xinran was an admiral, the data that was rapidly changing in front of her was still something she couldn’t decipher in the first place. Duan Hengye knew this, and at the same time that he pulled out the data, he also began to quickly analyze the current operation of the mecha for both Ye Pu and Yu Xinran.
Mecha data analysis wasn’t a simple thing, quickly converting the code into text was already something that ordinary people couldn’t do. Even Duan Hengye, while interpreting the data as soon as he could, he couldn’t manage to analyze the battle situation. But after hearing Duan Hengye’s words, Yu Xinran and Ye Pu’s expressions slowly became a little bit more serious.
