Although everyone knows that the first priority of Omega at the moment is to find out who attacked them before, how they got on the space station, and how they messed up Omega to what it is now. But this kind of work, which seems to be laborious, dangerous and unprofitable, does not attract the attention of any criminal.

With the exception of a few who wanted to find revenge, most of them quickly accepted the anarchy without Alia within a day and began to line up to elect or fight for a new Omega ruler.

It has to be said that due to the nature of their profession, criminals are all guys who have no big picture and are extremely short-sighted. Even if everyone knew that the days were running out for Omega to continue to store zài.

But in such a situation, people are still trying to squeeze more personal interests out of this depraved place, without thinking about the way back in the future, or they are like ostriches, unwilling to think about what to do in the future.

In the universe in space, which was only a few astronomical units away, the Budapest suddenly jumped into the Omega galaxy again a day later, but no one cared about such a major event in Omega, because the bosses of various factions were nervously fighting for the "throne" vacated by Omega.

Fortunately for these speculators, the Budapest did not really want to do anything to them this time. After the capture of the Omega Queen, the significance of this space station to the expedition team has disappeared.

The expedition was just passing through the Omega system, but it was actually going to rush to the Collector base through the Omega Four repeater. When Shen Chao kidnapped Alia on the Omega space station a day ago. Sister Xue had already taken her own people through the same repeater to the opposite side to investigate.

Thanks to a Reaper IFF, they were able to pass through the repeater without any obstacles, and because of Normandy's petite size and all the most advanced ship stealth equipment, they were not spotted by the collector's defense aircraft after passing through the repeater.

Because she was not discovered, Sister Xue was able to lurk on the opposite side and spend a whole day slowly cruising, carefully observing the Collector base in the distance. Now, their pre-war reconnaissance has ended, and Sister Xue sent back a message asking Shen Chao to drive the Budapest over to support.

Due to the fact that the Collector destroyer has been blown up by the Budapest. So, theoretically, there should be no battleship-class mobile defenses in the Collector base. But Sister Xue's reconnaissance results yesterday revealed that their enemies had built a new replacement.

The new Collector Destroyer looks very different from the previous Collector Destroyer, and although most of the hull is still obscured by the dock, the various signals from the guò hull suggest that this new ship will undoubtedly be much stronger than the previous Collector Destroyer. The Mass Effect Core alone is more than twice as large as the previous one.

The new Collector Battleship doesn't just have very high readings from the Mass Effect core. Furthermore, the hull part that can be seen is streamlined. From the outside, it looks more like the reaper's warship in the game's plot. This also shows that the Reaper has undoubtedly changed its previous strategy.

In the context of the great preparations for the galactic war, not only the many races in the Divine Citadel have been affected, but even the Reapers, who are still slowly climbing on the road as invaders, have also been affected by the preparations of the major races.

In order to restore the strength of his servants. Continuing to serve himself, the Reaper had to teach his core techniques so that his Collector minions could quickly regain their strength and continue to go out and stir things up.

Of course, as a mechanical race with superb technology and intelligence, the Reaper still has a deep meaning and intention for these arrangements, but it is impossible for Sister Xue and Shen Chao to know about it at this time.

After learning that there was a warship on the opposite side that might be relatively strong, Shen Chao also asked his Budapest to make some pre-war preparations. As usual, before departure, they connected the Budapest to the power supply of the space station behind them, so that it could remain fully shielded in the heat of battle.

After verifying with the Reaper IFF guò repeater transplanted from Normandy, the Budapest soon began repeater jumping. This kind of jump is not done instantaneously, so during the jump, Shen Chao also took time to make up for a nap.

By the time he was woken up by the guards, the Budapest had safely cleared the repeater and reached the destination of the trip. Their location within the Milky Way at this time is actually in a galaxy near the galactic center.

Like many galaxies in the heart of the Milky Way, this is a multi-star galaxy, meaning that there is more than one star in the galaxy. The nameless galaxy they arrived at now contained 2 stars and a black hole.

The black hole, which was not very massive, was apparently created when another star in the galaxy was destroyed, and at this time, it was constantly devouring the material in the outer atmosphere of a nearby star, and at the same time it was emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire galaxy.

Although the Collector Base is a thousand astronomical units away from the black hole, dozens of times farther than the distance from the Sun in the Solar System to the Kuiper Belt, the light emitted by the black hole in this galaxy when it devours stars is still more dazzling than the Sun seen on Earth.

Under such an astronomical spectacle, Shen Chao didn't have the mood and time to appreciate it, because as soon as they jumped over, they were discovered by the nearby defense aircraft. Like a large unmanned fighter jet, they sped close to the Budapest, which had just passed through the repeater passage for less than a minute, hoping to deal a heavy blow to the battleship while the Budapest had no protective shield.

Unfortunately, the Budapest was different from the one of the ships they had destroyed before, and the Budapest, which had the ability to quickly replenish shields, had already filled up its shields at this time, and the secondary artillery department was all ready.

Under the impact of the first batch of unmanned fighters, it took less than two minutes for the auxiliary artillery department to blow up all the incoming defense planes. However, the secondary purpose of these defense planes had been achieved, and they used their harassment tactics to hold the Budapest back for two minutes.

During this time, the ship in the Collector's base 4 astronomical units away in the distance had finished heating up its engines and was leaving port. The Budapest hastened in the direction of the Collector base after dealing with the Qì men of the defense aircraft that were harassing her.

However, despite their speed, by the time they reached the engagement distance, the Collector ships on the opposite side had already completed all their preparations for the battle. It was also at this time that they could see what each other's latest warships looked like through the guò optical equipment.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, after seeing it, Shen Chao was stunned by the shape of the other party's battleship. Because the other party's collector battleship looks like a reaper battleship, although it is not the appearance of a hegemon-level reaper, it is undoubtedly the appearance of a second-level reaper.

The Reapers, who also have different ranks, and the Overlord-level Reapers, who appeared during the Battle of the Citadel, are the most powerful individuals among the Reapers. The Reaper in front of him looked noticeably smaller, like a Reaper cruiser-class appearance.

But even the Reaper's cruiser is still much larger than the Star Alliance's dreadnoughts, not to mention firepower and protection. Fortunately, in terms of protection, the Budapest will not lose to it, dragging out the battle for a while, and letting Sister Xue in the distance land on the Collector space station is not a big problem.

The other party was obviously attracted by the Budapest, and rushed straight in the direction of the Budapest. Neither side rushed to open fire, and when the distance between the two sides was less than 500,000 kilometers, both sides opened fire almost simultaneously.

The cannonballs fired from the Budapest smashed heavily into the shield of the "Collector Battleship", and a glowing metal jet from the opposing side also hit the shield of the Budapest, and in the first round of fire, neither side gave the opponent's ship actual damage.

: "The shield is down 20%... Wait, the other side is firing again, and the remaining 74% of the shield is ......" In the CIC of the Budapest, the latest information is constantly coming, and the "Collector Battleship" on the opposite side undoubtedly has very strong firepower, and the killing efficiency of the shield of the Budapest is almost equal to that of the entire Omega's miscellaneous fleet.

"Open the emergency shield, activate the No. 2 emergency charging channel, No. 3 and No. 4 are in place and prepare, notify the engineer team, I will go down and open the door......" Shen Chao hurriedly ordered when he saw that the opponent's firepower was so fierce.

The emergency charging passages he mentioned are actually space-time gates, and there are usually two open space-time doors on the Budapest with the rear, one is responsible for the cable to the rear, and the other is responsible for personnel passage and evacuation.

The activation of Emergency Charge Channel 2 mentioned by him is to connect the evacuation channel to the cable, which will undoubtedly increase their energy supply to the Mass Effect Core of the battleship, and exchange greater energy output for greater shield strength and recharge speed.

But there are side effects to this, a Mass Effect Core has a service life, and since it cannot refine 100% purity Element Zero, there are impurities in their shipboard Mass Effect Core. These impurities will explode under sufficient external pressure, i.e., explode.

According to theoretical research and the results of their previous tests, the most stable stage of the Mass Effect core of the Budapest in the case of connecting to an external power source is when the two cables of No. 1 and No. 2 are connected, and the simultaneous connection of four cables is the theoretical limit, because if there is more, the pressure they create will be too great, and there is a danger of the core exploding.

Shen Chao quickly came to the cargo hold, and in front of the two space-time doors that had been opened, several Atlas mechs were already waiting for him with a huge cable with a diameter of 3 meters and a space-time door stabilizer. No nonsense, he hurriedly opened two space-time doors leading to the zero space station, and there was a cable interface that had been prepared long ago. (To be continued......)
