"Good!"

In the spacious conference room of the flagship bridge, Xie Ning was already clapping his hands and laughing after hearing Academician Qian's affirmative reply.

"That leaves only one last issue - we must make the barbarians think they have won and stop pursuing us. Otherwise, even if they opened up a passage, if they found out, wouldn't the barbarians also open a passage to chase after them? So, Chief of Staff, can you make the illusion of self-sinking? ”

"Of course, sir. This is the deep sea, and there is a trench below, so that the barbarians can detect whether we have sunk or not. The General Staff will make a detailed plan to try to be as if it were a real self-sink. Throw something, just floating. ”

"But...... We might need at least a dozen volunteers to make the illusion that the boat sank and escaped in a lifeboat - preferably captured by the barbarians and confessed that we were sunk, after all...... There are not even a few survivors, which is illogical and prone to suspicion. ”

Chief of Staff Sun thought about it, but replied hesitantly.

"And we'll have to be on guard against the sudden arrival of the barbarian scouts to confirm our location—which has happened several times a day these days. Therefore, we must leave one or two ships to intercept reconnaissance and prevent any reconnaissance force from approaching the main team. But the problem arises again, the interceptor ship is likely to be discovered and bitten by the barbarians...... They'll probably not be able to come back through the passage. ”

Chief of Staff Sun hesitated, and even more so.

The conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone had different faces.

……

"Well, I'll figure it out." An abrupt voice suddenly broke the silence, but it was Zhou Yaorong, who had been leaning on the bed and smiling at everyone.

"Among the seriously wounded, there must have been many people like me who were about to die. It just so happened that there were also two seriously wounded battleships. I took them to control two ships and pack some escapees, and it was barely enough. Counter-impact once, use some tactics, and delay for a few hours is no problem. ”

He said with a slight smile.

"Sir!" "Sir!" "Old man!"

People are already screaming. Even Commander Zheng, who was lying on the hospital bed, shouted in a low voice.

……

"I know what you're trying to say, but don't say anything, I'm up to it. I know that I am not dead yet, my soul spiral is still struggling tenaciously, I myself am the sky, the soul spiral is extremely strong, and I still have a very low hope of healing. But what do I do to fight for that incomparably slim chance of life, maybe for that chance to live a few more days? ”

"Please allow me to make my final contribution to Dingbei...... Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to look at the nine springs. I'm going to die anyway. Finally, I can live up to the responsibility entrusted by His Majesty, and I can smile. ”

Zhou Yaorong continued to smile and said slowly. The crowd looked at him in a daze, but there were different expressions of shame, gratitude, and admiration on their faces.

……

"Old Fellow......"

Zhou Yaorong looked at Commander Zheng, tears of regret flashed in his eyes: "Help me take care of my rabbit cubs, so that they can grow up healthy and safe...... Tell them that their father sacrificed his life for the country and his family, and he has no regrets about dying...... It's just that I'm a little ashamed of them...... The afterlife makes up for ......"

At last. He looked at Xie Ning, and then looked around at the group of officers present: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Dingbei Formation, Your Highness...... You ...... with them is the hope for the future of the empire. Dingbei formation, since then. It's all up to you...... Take care. ”

He said in a deep voice.

……

Low sobs rang out in the crowd, and a few people were already crying bitterly.

Xie Ning was silent for a long time, but he stood up.

He wiped his eyes, and he had already given a solemn military salute to the general on the bed.

"What to cry about! Get me moving according to the plan right now! Now it's ...... Nine o'clock in the morning. Before sunset. I have to see that everything is ready to go! Otherwise, military law engages! ”

He sniffled, but turned back. shouted.

～～～～～～～～～

At noon, the barbarian fleet appeared again at sea level - this time, they seemed to have learned their lesson, strengthened their strength, they were denser, and it was harder to raid.

After the Dingbei formation turned around and attacked several times without success, it was flying wildly all the way in front, maintaining a warning distance from the barbarians, but it drove straight to the chaotic area of the magic field.

At dusk, the barbarian fleet was once again thrown below sea level.

Under the setting sun, the Dingbei formation was reorganized, and the two empty carriers connected the various ships following them in series with iron cables, but they formed two long snake formations and slowly entered the chaotic area of the magic field.

Behind them, two warships were full of signs of war that were damaged everywhere, even with incomplete turrets...... But it slowly turned the bow of the boat.

In the sound of the screaming whistle, two flags were raised at the same time in the tail ship of the chief editor and the broken rear fleet, and the flags clearly expressed at the same time: Brother, take care.

～～～～～～～～～

When the night finally fell and covered the far northern sky. Under the hazy night, in the chaotic area of the magic field, the huge fleet was silently stopped on the sea, as if waiting for something.

Not far in front of them, a dinghy was facing them, and on it, a colorless light was shining with a very strong color. Gradually, on the sea level between the dinghy and the fleet, a huge ring was slowly expanding, and finally, it suddenly took shape, standing in the sea and sky!

The colorless rippling glimmer of light kept circling in between, illuminating everyone on the dinghy - the Demon Clan's Commander was slightly suspended on the sea level in front of the dinghy, but it was supporting Xie Ning and allowing him to control the ring without moving.

Behind them, Academician Qian was holding a small hot pot, standing with Yang Xiao and Chief of Staff Sun, looking at him with a smile.

Beside them, Fan Yuchun and several other researchers were staring intently at the instruments in front of them, monitoring the passage construction and various data.

In the end, they slowly nodded to the few demon warriors who were eager to try behind them.

The demon fighters suddenly excitedly rushed to the Dingbei ship led by them with a green light, signaling that they could pass.

……

The body of the Dingbei suddenly shone with various colors of magical energy, and gradually, it was tightly connected! Then, with a sudden movement, it slowly accelerated on the surface of the sea, and the bow of the ship gradually sank into the giant gate.

１／５…… １／４…… １／３……

People watched nervously as the Dingbei slowly entered.

Suddenly, the dinghy was already shining with a fierce red light, and the beep alarm sounded! Fan Yuchun's wild shouts also burst out suddenly: "Retreat!" Go back first! Problematic! ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? A few people who were watching quietly suddenly asked in panic. The demon wars also hurriedly changed the red light and waved it violently, and the Dingbei was shaken, and it had already begun to reverse, and it exited the giant gate.

"Time is running out! General Zhou is fighting behind him and delaying for us! What's going on here? Academician Qian asked angrily.

"Academician...... The monitoring instruments alarmed, and the passage showed signs of collapse - we found that the passage could not bear the weight of the Dingbei. Fan Yuchun raised his head and said with a pale face.

"How is that possible! Didn't you experiment? Isn't the passage limited only by the amount of energy contained in the passing material? Academician Qian asked angrily.

……

"Academician, don't you remember my speculation about the energy mass conversion proposed by Ai Panchao, the greatest physical energy scientist in modern China? Energy and mass are actually different manifestations of the foundation of the world, which can be converted into each other. And have its ratio. ”

Fan Yuchun pondered, and suddenly his eyes lit up, but he said.

"What? I understand...... Damn, Ai Pan Super Energy Equation! It's really right! Damn it! We're in too much of a hurry to think about everything! ”

Academician Qian was suddenly stunned, and he couldn't stop his breath.

"Don't care what the hell Ai Panchao is, can it be solved? Academician, now is not the time to discuss science! Xie Ning turned his back to everyone but also shouted in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid...... We can't help it! Academician Qian looked miserable.

"Why!" Xie Ning asked angrily.

"In short, Your Highness. You can think of it as a matter of the thickness of the walls of the space magic channel. If the thickness is not enough, the strength will naturally be compromised - have you ever seen the consequences of a magic energy chariot crushing a thin layer of cement road? Academician Qian shouted helplessly.

……

"What then?" Shainin's voice was already filled with anger: "Fight!" I'm reinforcing while absorbing! Is it okay to let the smaller battleship pass first? ”

"There is not so much time, Your Highness, I don't know how long it will take you to slowly build such a high-intensity spatial magic energy wall, maybe a few years! But we only have less than a few hours left! Academician Qian hissed.

"What then?" Shainin asked angrily again.

"Your Highness. Academician, according to our calculations, the rest of the ships will have no problem passing, but the two ships in Dingzhen are too big and too heavy. Can't pass! Also, the large supply ship Xiangchu may also be too heavy! ”

After saying a few words, Fan Yuchun, who had been nervously calculating something, also raised his head: "Your Highness, we can only abandon these three overweight ships." Let the other ships pass first! ”

……

"Nope! Sir! With the loss of the Dingzhen Second Ship and the loss of the Xiangchu, we have almost lost all our combat capability and endurance! In that case, we might as well turn around and consume some barbarians or something! Your Highness, work harder, don't let the second ship of Dingzhen pass! ”

Chief of Staff Sun's eyes suddenly cracked when he heard this, and he was already anxious.

"How is that possible! Do you understand science? Stay in the green mountains, aren't you afraid of no firewood? To build such a powerful passage, the ring is no longer enough! Then His Highness can only control it, but also output it himself. But how old is His Highness? How could there be so many space demons that could be used! You can't build a strong enough channel, you know? ”

Fan Yuchun was also anxious, but he looked at Chief of Staff Sun angrily and shouted.

"Stop arguing! I'm running out of time! You're still noisy to pass through so many fleets in just a few hours! I'll try it first! Shainin also shouted angrily.

"But Your Highness, that requires a huge amount of space magic energy! You don't have that much space magic to use! Fan Yuchun said hurriedly.

When everyone quarreled sharply, they didn't notice that the small hot pot in Academician Qian's arms was looking at them curiously at this time...... (To be continued......)
