Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

But it was this beam weapon that appeared for only a few seconds before being destroyed, causing several generals in the conference room to stand up instantly, all gathering around the projection that Chen Ming had displayed.

”Phase weapon...”

Although Chen Ming had just speculated that it was such a thing, he couldn’t help but ask when he heard the generals say so: ”A weapon in the normal universe can attack phase space?”

Qiu Bowen knew that Chen Ming was familiar with the situation of phase technology, so he didn’t hide it and said: ”Of course not, but that beam was just a laser pointer, using phase weapon resonance in phase space to display the visible light spectrum in the normal world.”

”The key is that the light was cut off, which can only be the effect of a phase weapon.”

”The Mechanical Race seems to have started researching phase technology after being attacked by the phase giant beast last time, and it seems to be very close to our progress.”

A Vice Admiral next to them said: ”Then their efficiency is probably higher than ours. We started researching earlier, yet the Mechanical Race caught up with us.”

Another Vice Admiral disagreed, saying: ”They are remnants of the Shimmering Civilization, which surely had phase technology. The Mechanical Race just picked it up again, so of course, they’d be faster.”

Bai Quan did not participate in the current discussion of the generals on the progress of phase technology research.

He was more concerned with practical matters: ”Chen Ming, if possible, try to acquire the wreckage of that ship that used the phase weapon; it’s extremely important for our phase technology research.”

However, Chen Ming did not agree directly: ”I don’t think that’s possible. The phase giant beast is still here; I can’t just rush in under its nose. At most, I’ll wait until it’s done and then come to scavenge.”

”That’s fine, find an opportunity later.”

”Okay.”

Chen Ming noted down the coordinates of this location and continued to direct the reconnaissance fleet to move away.

But just as he was giving the fleet this order, his fleet unexpectedly received a communication on a special frequency.

”Communication?”

Chen Ming immediately connected, and the communication channel suddenly emitted a sound as if something was submerged in the deep sea.

This sound, separated by the deep sea, was very vague; Chen Ming could tell that it was sharp, but not piercing.

And it also evoked a vague and indescribable emotion within Chen Ming.

Chen Ming immediately felt a sense of confusion.

The source of the communication signal was equally vague, but it was certain to be from the planet in front of him.

Was it sent by the Mechanical Race?

Or perhaps...

The signal transmitted from the planet continued to be received by Chen Ming’s fleet.

But Chen Ming still couldn’t discern what was contained in this sound.

He pondered and then connected the reconnaissance fleet’s communication device in the conference room, playing the received audio data there.

After the just-recorded sound finished playing, Chen Ming asked: ”What does this sound mean?”

”Sound? What sound?”

”What are you talking about?”

”?”

Now it was Chen Ming’s turn to be confused.

”I just played an audio clip; didn’t you hear it?”

”No.”

Chen Ming didn’t understand, so he played it again.

His ears could clearly hear this sound, but judging by the expressions on the faces of those around him, they heard nothing.

Even though Chen Ming was using the directly recorded audio file, which he could hear, why couldn’t the others?

Chen Ming immediately analyzed the data of this saved audio file.

He was surprised to find that this audio file didn’t contain any sound waves in any frequency band.

Whether it’s audible sounds, inaudible ultrasounds, or infrasounds, nothing was there.

No frequency band contained sound waves, yet he could hear sounds from this file.

Seeing the strange expressions from those around him, Chen Ming could only say: ”Maybe I heard it wrong.”

He stopped the audio and continued to control the ship.

The audio frequency sounds received by his reconnaissance fleet became increasingly submerged and vague, gradually fading away as the fleet moved away from the initial position.

This further confirmed his suspicions.

However, Chen Ming pretended to be oblivious and avoided the topic of audio.

But those present were astute people, Chen Ming’s performance did not seem fake; he must have heard something.

But they couldn’t hear anything, and Chen Ming didn’t want to elaborate, so they couldn’t ask further.

Just keep it as a secret in mind, maybe it will be useful someday?

Everyone quietly watched Chen Ming continue to operate.

Meanwhile, observing the reconnaissance fleet investigating the planet’s surface, and the main fleet ambushed in superspace.

Through the reconnaissance fleet, they saw that the Mechanical Race’s fleet, barely escaping the clutches of the phase giant beast, reached the edge of the star system and activated the Superspace Navigation Engine at that moment.

”It’s over.”

Someone said this.

The Mechanical Race’s fleet entered Chen Ming’s encirclement without any preparation.

When the ships enter superspace, their speed relative to their entry coordinate point becomes zero, making it impossible to accelerate to dodge speed in an instant.

And two hundred armor piercing ships and four Dusk cruisers had already targeted them with their massive weapons.

Chen Ming didn’t even need the Stardust Level to release the Meteor fighters.
