Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1284 - 488: Storm (Part 2)

In light of this, Ahmed said nothing further.

This time, Ma Wei’an resorted to his old tricks, borrowing additional energy for his own antics.

Unexpectedly, twenty seconds later, Ma Wei’an’s face suddenly turned pale, and he stood up abruptly, "Not good!"

"What happened?" Hearing his tone, Ahmed Sammy became tense as well. Although he disliked Ma Wei’an, he never underestimated the man’s abilities.

"No time to explain." Ma Wei’an’s fingers were flying rapidly, seemingly completing some high-intensity operations.

Then, he turned back, his face contorted in a grimace mixed with terror, yet there was also a hint of inexplicable hysterical excitement, "Captain Sammy, activate the super-maneuver mode, preheat all the enhanced jet engines on both sides of the workship, push the reverse thrust medium into the payload bay, preheat it to over eight thousand degrees!"

Ahmed was stunned, "What are you saying? Doing so will cost us at least 2% of our reserve energy and reverse thrust medium, and we still need to hold out here for another four years."

Ma Wei’an’s face froze for a moment, then suddenly became languid, "Forget it, you’re right. We’re all going to die anyway, so why bother. I’ll just shut off the supercritical information flow radar scanning and won’t broadcast my findings to the other workships. Just like that. Four years, tsk tsk... you really do have imagination."

Ma Wei’an’s sudden change in attitude only tightened the knot in Ahmed’s heart.

Captain Sammy heard the deep sense of suicidal intent in his technical officer’s words. He was indifferent, as if he cared about nothing.

When a person who has no ambitions or beliefs has decided to die, seeing their own end approaching, they will no longer care about this world, nor will they have any regrets.

"Alright! I apologize to you! I’ll listen to you! I’m listening to you now!" Ahmed abruptly sat back at the workstation, "Activate the highest alert mechanism, everyone brace yourselves!" Ma Wei’an grinned slyly, "Now that’s more like it."

As Ahmed’s words fell, the other nine crew members on the Falcon all took their positions.

The eight-point safety belts beside the work chairs automatically popped out, securely fastening everyone in place.

Fully enclosed combat helmets descended from above, fitting onto everyone’s heads.

The deep-sea buffer liquid began to quickly pour in through the seams of the emergency combat cabin.

"Activate super-maneuver, preheat the enhanced engines, communicate the supercritical information flow radar’s data to the whole fleet, request computational support from headquarters."

Upon finishing these orders, Ahmed finally saw the scenario rendered from the pure data by Ma Wei’an.

In Ma Wei’an’s predictive calculation simulation, the previously calm Black Mist Zone suddenly transformed into a stormy sea.

This was a massive dark energy collision induced explosion, originating from the intersection of two dark energy masses near the upper edge of the Black Mist Zone, each comparable in mass to the Source Star.

The energy released at the moment of explosion was nearing the critical value of a super burst, with an impact range sufficient to cover a quarter of the Black Mist Zone.

Except for the simulation workship navigating the safe passage, the majority of the relay workships were going to be affected by this wave of explosions.

This was not Liu An’s conspiracy, but purely the malice of nature.

...

Isu Rock watched the simulated Star Map before him, his fingers holding a cigarette trembling violently.

Five minutes ago, the data network in the Star Map was still normal, with 997 vertical data chains stable and reliable, and though the horizontal auxiliary data chains were constantly changing, the cross-linked network was still able to ensure stability.

But just a moment ago, suddenly, one by one, the data nodes representing the workships quickly went dark and cut off.

The first to go dark was workship 411-31. The 411 line was severed simultaneously.

The nearby red outline was intensifying, but before they could rebuild the connection, one workship after another near 411-31 also went dark consecutively. Not only did 411 line fail to rebuild, but the nearby data chains also broke off one after another, as if an invisible Abyss was devouring the area, swallowing everything in an instant.

Disaster did not occur without warning. Two minutes earlier, workship 981-27 had issued a full fleet alert.

Technical Officer Ma Wei’an pointed out that based on his simulation and validation of the background information flow changes in the Black Mist Zone, it was concluded that a violent dark energy explosion had occurred directly ahead of the workship fleet.

For dark energy, this ’invisible devil’, conventional radio radar and optical radar scanning is completely ineffective, with no reflection only to be easily absorbed. The only way to perform a rough estimate is through changes in the cross-gravity field and subtle background light and information flow in space. However, the accuracy cannot reach 100%.
