Under Haig's unscientific and unreasonable attack, the distance of 30AU was covered in just three seconds.
Even if the helmsman's reaction was fast enough, he was still a little late. When the attack arrived, about a third of the ship was still in the attack's path and could not be completely avoided.
The helmsman's eyes were filled with unwillingness, but there was nothing he could do. He had already tried his best.
"Everyone, prepare to be hit!"
At this moment, Shangguan Youlan's voice resounded throughout the entire warship. In the bridge, the ground in front of her had unknowingly opened and a battleship EDAC control panel was raised.
A dazzling light instantly illuminated everyone's eyes. Then, the entire warship shook violently and showed no signs of stopping.
"Get out of my way!"
The helmsman, who had been pressing on the leftmost side, could not help but roar.
Outside the warship, several silver-white diamond-shaped barriers on the right side were resisting Haig's terrifying attack. However, it was obvious that Shangguan Youlan, who was only a B-grade dark energy controller, could not withstand all of it.
The three dark energy barriers that she had used all her strength to create collapsed almost every second. It only bought the warship three seconds before they all collapsed.
Without the dark energy barriers, the terrifying attack no longer had any scruples and immediately bombarded the warship.
Boom … Boom …
The entire warship shook as if there was an earthquake. Some areas even exploded continuously.
Obviously, even if Shangguan Youlan had bought three seconds and the helmsman's desperate efforts, they could only prevent the warship from being completely destroyed.
At the rear of the warship, the entire engine was completely destroyed. No, it should be said that it had completely disappeared.
From the outside, the entire warship seemed to be missing a part. The rear of the warship was filled with air leaks and sparks everywhere.
"Immediately report the damage to the warship!"
"Captain, the starboard area G77-G102 of the warship is completely destroyed. The main engine module at the rear of the warship is completely destroyed. The warship's power has dropped to 15%. The life support system has been taken offline."
In the bridge command team, the damage manager rattled off a lot of information. The situation was simply terrible.
"What about the crew?"
"Captain … the main engine module and the 82 people in the engine room are all … In addition, the entire warship has 18 dead, 37 heavily injured and nearly 200 lightly injured."
A total of 100 people had died … This number caused Shangguan Youlan to feel extremely uncomfortable.
It should be noted that this is only a strategic reconnaissance ship, not a large warship. The entire warship has less than 500 people.
But now, more than half of them were dead or injured. Even many people in the bridge were injured in the impact just now.
Looking at the battleship's status screen, the rear right half of the battleship, as well as the tail of the battleship, were all red. Not only that, even the rest of the battleship was mostly yellow.
It could be said that they had almost reached the point of abandoning the ship.
"Engineering team, has the stargate been activated?"
"We have deployed, Captain. We are currently 700,000 kilometers away!"
"Have the escape system perform a self-check immediately to confirm if it can still be used!"
"Yes … The escape system is performing a self-check … Reporting to Captain, the escape system has malfunctioned and cannot be activated!"
Damn it, this is the worst-case scenario. Even the escape system is broken!
Shangguan Youlan's brows were almost knitted together.
"Mecha port?"
"The mecha port is located on the left side of the battleship. It received the least impact. It can still be used!"
"Okay, regardless of whether it's the combat mechas or the engineering mechas, order them to move out immediately!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Inform everyone on the ship to gather at the front of the battleship. After confirming that everyone is in place, abandon all the modules at the back of the battleship!"
"Captain … the life support system is also at the back of the battleship. Although the system has malfunctioned due to the impact just now, it can still be repaired. If we abandon it … with the oxygen we have left, it can only last for two hours at most!"
"Not only the modules at the back of the battleship, but also at the front of the battleship. All the unnecessary modules, including the mecha port module, are to be abandoned!"
"Captain, what are you …"
"Reduce the mass of the battleship as much as possible. Then, let the mechas push the battleship together and enter the stargate!"
Hiss …
So this was the captain's idea. It was simply shocking.
But … it seemed to be feasible?
After abandoning the modules of the battleship, leaving only the bridge module and gathering all the personnel there, it seemed … possible … all the mechas together could really push it?
After understanding the captain's intention, everyone stopped talking and got busy.
Some people were guiding all the crew to the bridge, some were commanding all the mechas in the battleship to move out, and some were even inputting orders to separate the modules of the battleship …
"Captain, according to the current state of our battleship, if the opponent launches another attack just now …"
"We can only bet … bet that the opponent won't be able to launch such an attack quickly and continuously!"
Just as the adjutant mentioned what he was worried about, Shangguan Youlan gritted her teeth and said.
Yes, they could only gamble now!
If they didn't gamble that everyone would be buried here, they might still have a chance of survival.
"Yes, Captain!"
The Federation's soldiers were very well-trained. Even under such circumstances, they still maintained a very high standard.
Just two minutes later …
"Captain, all the mechas are in place!"
"Captain, all the modules are ready to be separated!"
"Captain, the stargate is ready to be activated. The target has been locked!"
"Captain, all the crew has confirmed that they have reached the designated safe location!"
Under the efficient operation, all the orders given by Shangguan Youlan had been carried out in just two minutes.
"Good, now I order, immediately abandon all the modules except the bridge and A21 to A27!"
"Yes, Captain!"
As sparks kept flashing everywhere on the battleship, the entire battleship seemed to be disintegrating, turning into dozens of blocks and spreading out in all directions.
"Captain, all the modules have been separated!"
"Order all the mechas to start moving!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Bang bang bang …
Following a series of bangs, dozens of mechas of various types stuck to the left side of the battleship and activated their maximum power in the direction of the stargate.
In fact, many pilots were shouting in their mechas …
Move!!!
A few seconds later, the remaining modules of the battleship were pushed together by dozens of mechas. Finally, they slowly moved
and began to accelerate bit by bit.
"It's moving, it's moving!"
Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted in the bridge …
