Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 412: Chapter 147 Blueprint

The fate of the special operations team members still seems undecided.

There is an element of luck, as well as the factor of the landing spot they chose.

Because they are currently in the cargo transportation area mainly occupied by Dusk under Chen Ming’s control.

It’s an important, yet not overly important place.

The significance lies in the fact that all the materials required for the manufacturing and daily maintenance of the giant shipyard’s vessels mostly depend on these cargo areas located at various points of the shipyard.

However, the insignificance lies in the fact that there is not just one cargo area for material transportation.

Dusk, under Chen Ming’s control, can only access the outermost cargo areas of the giant shipyard.

So he is currently the most knowledgeable about the situation of these cargo areas at the shipyard.

When faced with an attack like the one currently besieging the giant shipyard, the cargo areas lose their significance.

There are simply no materials being transported.

Moreover, all Dusk individuals controlling this area are basically installed at locations relatively close to the interior, eliminating the chance of being excavated.

And truly urgent materials can’t possibly stay here for more than a few minutes; if an emergency arises, they are definitely moved at the first instance.

As a result, this place is now almost the area with the lowest security level within the entire giant shipyard.

Even in terms of dealing with the assault crafts outside, Dusk maintains the same defensive approach.

Preferring to let through more assault crafts in this direction, rather than allowing the more important areas to be breached by them.

Which makes sense upon consideration.

Since the high-value materials have long been moved away, the low-value materials certainly can’t measure up to various pieces of equipment.

Even if there is logistics equipment here, the value of logistics equipment is completely inexpensive.

If it breaks, just replace it with a new one.

So when this wave of assault crafts successfully penetrated the giant shipyard’s Shield through physical means, forcing it to be unable to defend against attacks below the Main Level weapons,

and following the seven-eight damage caused by the first wave of Bai Quan with their two Offensive Level assaults on the Armor,

Chen Ming can clearly feel that the situation here is different from the surrounding areas where combat tremors are constantly being transmitted.

The defense level here is relatively low, so the scale of conflict that can erupt here is naturally smaller.

Actually, the low security level here has another reason.

The cargo transportation area is a relatively open space, and only a limited number of logistics devices serve as cover.

Whether it’s for attack or defense, it’s not a good place.

So Dusk essentially didn’t consider defending here and directly sealed all logistics channels.

The basic defensive power relies on some basic turrets and work robots with some combat capabilities.

With these obstacles, even if invaders are present, they couldn’t be immediately breached, providing enough time to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Even if they couldn’t hold out and were overcome by invaders,

this cargo transportation area is neither too close nor too far from any other location.

No matter where they go, it would take some time.

There would surely be many opportunities for interception along the way, and it’s virtually impossible to breach the giant shipyard from here.

Therefore, there’s no need to deploy too much defensive power here.

Yet almost means almost; as long as it exists, there remains a possibility of it being breached here.

Just as the special operations team captain just mentioned.

The entire giant shipyard is of human design, adapted by Dusk with just a few changes.

Thus, there are still many cargo channels or other routes that cannot be removed.

And since Dusk cannot leave them unused, robots are generally dispatched here for ancillary tasks.

These additional channels intended for human use mean more space and more opportunities.

And these are the greatest weaknesses of the giant shipyard.

The above is intelligence quickly analyzed by Chen Ming through the information he possesses.

However, merely knowing these is useless; the specifics of execution still depend on how the on-site special operations teams act.

At this moment, their assault craft, along with three other accompanying crafts, lay plainly on the deck of the cargo transportation area.

Yet there is no activity at all on the four assault crafts.

However, this has attracted some internal defensive measures of Dusk.

Including Dusk’s robots and several automated turrets, all have aimed their weapons at the assault crafts.

However, the assault crafts are themselves extremely durable, and it’s uncertain if the weapons used for internal shipyard defense can effectively destroy them.

There is a high chance of wasting bullets or energy.

Thus, the Dusk security system locked onto the assault crafts continues to wait for an opportunity.

However, after several minutes have passed, there is still no activity on the assault crafts.

This entices one of the Dusk entities responsible for this area to maneuver one of the robots forward, attempting to open the airlock of the assault craft to see what has happened inside.

Of course, during Dusk’s decision-making process, the special operations team inside the assault craft certainly wasn’t inactive.

They were constantly preparing.

Specifically, the team member responsible for electronic technology was controlling the robots inside the other three accompanying assault crafts.

Even though under normal circumstances, the sole objective of the assault crafts is to break through defenses, with their contents being robots in a state of indiscriminate attack.
