Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 310 Board Jump

If you could only read one science fiction novel in your lifetime, it would probably be "Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet".

As the alarm sounded, the enemy units suppressed behind cover quickly adjusted their firing angles and unleashed a barrage of firepower towards the elevator platform.

Numerous solid projectiles continuously struck the mech's deployed shield, creating a series of "waves" on the fragile shield and causing its capacity to rapidly decrease.

"Click—snap"

A barely perceptible crisp sound rang out as the mech shield responsible for left-side cover shattered first. Immediately afterward, a large number of solid projectiles crashed into the mech, creating a continuous series of metallic clanging sounds.

With the aid of sound, these silicon-based creatures quickly pinpointed the mech's location, and then increasingly intense firepower rained down on it.

When the first kinetic projectile pierced the shield and struck the outer armor of the mech's leg, the robots responsible for the intrusion finally completed their task, and the elevator slowly descended.

Amidst the sounds of the lifting platform operating, the sudden burst of jet exhaust was extremely jarring.

But before the silicon-based creatures could react, two brand-new shields appeared on either side of the elevator platform, blocking the incoming projectiles and simultaneously retaliating in the direction from which they were coming.

After establishing a data link with the mech squadron outside the hangar, the six special operations mechs quickly locked onto the enemy's location and launched a more precise attack using rockets.

After the special forces mechs arrived, Platinum also received the information through the fiber optic cables laid along the route.

Platinum then began to return along the same route, while directing a team of robots into the maintenance tunnel to support the pilot team that had set off earlier, following the fiber optic cable.

After returning to the hangar, Platinum placed the miniature supercomputer carried on his custom-designed mech inside the hangar and connected it to the pre-laid fiber optic cables.

Then, Platinum controlled the mech, securing the remaining three large molten metal bombs to the hangar floor and setting the remote fuses. At the same time, she directed the mech squad forward, sending them along the passageway to the cargo hold directly connected to the hangar to create even greater chaos.

After doing all this, Platinum controlled the mech to enter the airdrop supply crate fixed to the outside of the enemy's main ship.

Once the enemy's main ship's outer walls closed again, the airdropped supply pod disintegrated, allowing the stealthy mechs to reappear in space.

Using the high-pressure gas cylinders carried in the airdropped supply pod, the Platinum, in stealth mode, silently moved away from the enemy flagship and slowly flew towards its own flagship.

Inside the enemy's main ship, the robot squad, speeding along the maintenance passage, caught up with the pilot squad, who were still advancing. The two squads then regrouped and continued to penetrate deeper into the enemy ship.

However, the joy of being replenished here was quickly overshadowed by the sudden discovery of enemy activity.

[Enemy units detected ahead, quantity: 6, type: search party.]

[Beginning to determine the direction of enemy unit movement; formulating an evasion route.]

[Enemy units detected on the left, quantity: 4, type: search party.]

[Enemy units detected on the right, quantity: 4, type: search party.]

[We are currently revising the avoidance route...]

[Unavoidable. Orders received. Begin a full-scale assault.]

The two squads, totaling 36 robots, were divided into three groups. The assault group, consisting of eight special robots and four regular robots, went forward first. The eight special robots activated their optical stealth mode and silently arrived at the path that one of the enemy units was bound to take.

The firepower group, consisting of six special robots and six regular robots, split into two groups and aimed their heavy firepower at the enemy units' movement routes on the left and right sides.

The support team, on the other hand, stands by in the rear, ensuring the safety of the rear while being ready to support the two teams at the front at any time.

In an instant, the dark passage fell silent, with only a barely perceptible hum of electricity remaining.

As the six silicon-based creatures directly in front entered the assault team's firing range, the six special robots silently raised their weapons and steadily aimed at the enemy's vital parts.

Twelve seconds later, the enemy units on the left and right sides appeared within the firing range of the fire group almost simultaneously.

[Fire.]

The electromagnetic weapon, which had already completed its energy storage, suddenly opened fire, and the steel nails that flew out tore the 14 silicon-based creatures to shreds in an instant.

After completing the annihilation, the 36 robots quickly started running and moved forward rapidly along the maintenance passages that covered the entire ship.

Due to severe signal disruptions in the maintenance tunnel and the fact that the enemy units did not possess real-time life monitoring devices connected to the entire ship, the enemy ships did not immediately detect the presence of an enemy force near the ship's core.

However, the undisguised rampage of the 36 robots quickly attracted the attention of other inspectors and the ship's guards. When the enemy discovered that the reconnaissance team responsible for the nearby area had lost contact, they quickly sounded the alarm and notified the commanders of the intelligence.

However, at this time, the enemy's guards were also stretched thin. They not only had to deal with the mech squadron that was rushing towards the cargo hold at full speed, but also had to check for suspicious "personnel" around the engine area at the stern of the ship. Now they also had the task of checking the area around the core area.

Each area was of great importance, and with no other choice, the commanders of the enemy naval guard could only transfer as many crew members as possible to the guard without reducing the combat efficiency of their own ships.

To ensure combat effectiveness, this group of crew members was mixed with guards members, forming teams similar to experienced personnel mentoring new recruits.

Under this dispatch mode, the personnel size is restored to the pre-war guard force to quickly launch interception operations, deploying personnel, weapons or guard facilities at various checkpoints, while replenishing personnel in the core area and engine area.

With such a large-scale mobilization, the special operations team, cut off from the outside world, was indeed in a difficult situation. They were deep in enemy territory, without external support, and their own supplies were extremely limited.

Faced with the sudden increase in patrols, the special operations team could only find a suitable hiding place nearby and enter a state of concealment to avoid this round of inspection with minimal power consumption.

Unfortunately, the place where this squad was hiding was exactly the route that two enemy guard squads had to take to reach the engine area, and the main task of these two squads was to strengthen the defense of the engine area.

Thanks to their excellent stealth capabilities and superior hiding positions, the enemy, in their haste to get somewhere, completely overlooked the six special operations robots hiding throughout the passage.

Based on the weaponry of these silicon-based creatures, the special operations team determined that the enemy was most likely a reinforcement force from the engine area garrison. The team then broke out of static concealment and began to follow the two squads.
