Chapter 471: The Unexpected Conflict Brought by Jace

There were two reasons why this method couldn't be used, one was because the reaper's wreckage was huge, larger than the battle fortress of Theron that he had brought back before. £★,±.23∞x.co∽m A Theron Battle Fortress is only more than 16oo meters long, which is equivalent to half of the wreckage of this 2ooo meter long reaper.

It's hard to say if the Mass Effect Core of the Budapest will be enough to lose weight, but there is a more important reason, that is, the wreckage of this Reaper is still opening its own kinetic energy barrier, and its Mass Effect Core is still working.

In this case, even if the Budapest's hull were to be weighted off with its own Mass Effect core, the weight reduction would be largely weakened by the kinetic barrier of the Reaper's wreckage. In the end, it still does not achieve enough weight loss.

That's why they'll be working hard to clear the wreckage for a few days, and although it may seem slow, now that the road is clear, they'll be able to call on the wreckage's powerful Mass Effect core.

Here in the control room, they spent almost a day carefully checking each link to the control platform (reaper's cerebellum), and resetting the startup program here to make sure that nothing unexpected happened when they tried to control it.

Just as the first qiē was nearing completion, the control departments of the Budapest and the Normandy simultaneously issued an urgent warning. It turned out that a Jace fleet had just jumped into the system and was moving in their direction.

"I'm almost done here, you go deal with those Jaces." As long as it drags on for a while, I'll stay here and transport the wreckage back and come back......" Shen quickly arranged the division of labor between him and Sister Xue after receiving the report.

He asked Sister Xue to take over his command for the time being, and return to the Budapest to control the situation outside, where he would have a few minutes to activate the wreckage's Mass Effect Core and send the wreckage back to the rear for study. Sister Xue didn't argue with him on this issue, and after receiving his order, she ran out to control the situation.

"Report the latest situation...... "Sister Xue rushed to the Budapest netbsp; : "13 Jace battleships attacked, 5 of them frigates, the others were cruisers. There are still 2 astronomical units from us...... Wait, there's a new ship jumping over. 4 astronomical units away from us, there are 5 ships. Don't wait...... It's 22 battleships. Including a Jace dreadnought......"

Vincent hurriedly reported the latest situation to Sister Xue, and he was very alarmed when he saw that the "enemy" actually had a dreadnought coming. Because this was the first time he had faced space warfare, he had been in the simulator like many newcomers to the fleet system before. A large number of simulations have been conducted. But this is his first real combat after all.

More critically. The important Cheng of the Budapest is self-evident to the Space-Time Council, and if he doesn't have combat experience, he can't guarantee that Shen won't send him back to his home plane in a fit of anger if he makes a command mistake in battle and causes the ship's hull to crash or something......

Of course. He actually thought too much, although the Budapest was still the most important warship of the expedition, but Shen still regarded his own human life as more important than any ship, as long as there were no casualties among the expedition personnel above, even if the ship was destroyed, he would not blame the operators, after all, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, especially in such a disparity between friend and foe!

Of course, none of this is something that a newcomer like Vincent would know. At this time, in the face of the sudden strengthening of the "enemy" camp in the distance, the whole ship fell into a state of tension. Although Jace's fleet was no more combat-ready than the fleets of the other intelligent races of the Citadel, the number of ships and firepower on the opposite side undoubtedly formed an overwhelming advantage over them.

Although the Budapest has undergone a lot of upgrades, it is still a high heavy cruiser in essence, and although the shield is far beyond its own level, its firepower has not been significantly improved, and it is still far from being as good as the firepower of a dreadnought.

If they were just facing a group of Jace cruisers on the opposite side, they could still try to block it for a while, and maybe even imitate the Destiny Mortal during the Battle of the Citadel. But at this time, they were facing a dreadnought in Jace's camp.

This is a battleship that they will never be able to gnaw on, and Jace, as a mechanical race, has a mechanical and rigid side, but they are not stupid at all. As soon as the Citadel races have any latest military achievements and advancements, they will learn from them as soon as possible.

Therefore, although their own technology tree lacks creative power, they can always follow up the progress of the Citadel race, and there has never been a generation difference between Jace's military technology and the Citadel race, although it is not clear how many dreadnoughts they have built, but the Citadel race is not unaware of Jace's dreadnought combat power.

In the past, every few decades, the Quarians would launch a large-scale attack on Jace's star sector, and each time they would encounter stronger and stronger Jace ships, including the Jace Dreadnought. The most recent Quarian attack on Jace was just a few months ago.

Although the conflict did not last long, ending in less than a month, the combat power of the Jace Dreadnought, and even the military strength of the entire Jace race, had been completely leaked in the conflict.

At that time, taking advantage of the victory in the Battle of Citadel and the exposure of the Reaper's existence, many Quarians thought that they could use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to unite with anti-AI organizations across the galaxy to reclaim their home planet. With the unanimous consent of the fleet higher-ups, the Quarians decided to launch another large-scale attack in a desperate gamble.

To this end, they united the fleet of the Citadel Council, which had just been established at that time and had not yet formed a full combat capacity, and the two sides marched together to carry out a large-scale clearance operation against the star sector state of mind controlled by Jace.

In that short war, everyone's goal was clear, because everyone already knew that the Reapers were a mechanical race that had wiped out their creator, and Jace was also a mechanical race and had nearly exterminated their own creators, the Quarians.

Therefore, in the context of the imminent return of the Reaper, all the organic intelligent races, regardless of whether they have clashed with Jace before, hope to attack before the Reaper returns and wipe out the entire population of Jace's mechanical race.

This will both bolster all Citadel races to defeat the more powerful mechanical race Reaper, as well as eliminate potential Reaper's minion power. You haven't forgotten the large number of Jaces assisting the Overlord during the Battle of the Fortress.

For most people, this is ironclad proof that Jace's entire race is serving the Reaper! Although the reality is that it was only a part of Jace's "heretical" choice, Jace's main force did not participate in the Battle of the Citadel at all!

In the early stage of the war between the major races of the Citadel against Jace, the Citadel fleet and the Quarians fought very well, and Jace seemed to know that he was no match for many organic intelligent races, and they would even withdraw before the battle in many local star regions began, trying to avoid a major conflict with several powerful races in the Citadel.

But when the Quarians eagerly pushed the battle line to Jace's core zone, they encountered very strong resistance. In these important areas, Jace deployed their unimaginably powerful defenses, and tens of thousands of warships were assembled to form several impenetrable fronts to maintain their core control area.

On this defensive line, which is nearly 2o light-years away and spans several galaxies, Jace has put a powerful stop on the invading fleet of the Citadel race. During those battles, a large number of Jace Dreadnoughts appeared on the battlefield.

These Jace dreadnoughts propped up Jace's fleet with their extremely powerful defenses. Again and again, he repelled the attacks of the Quarians, and even barely carried it in the first large-scale battle with the Combined Fleet of the Divine Citadel!

This is not easy, because the Combined Fleet of the Citadel is a combined fleet composed of several intelligent races with the strongest military strength in the galaxy, although it was still in the run-in period at that time, but the scale and combat power were already very strong.

Although Jace barely forced back the combined fleet of the Divine Citadel at that time, he himself suffered heavy losses due to the battle. After that battle, the Jace and Citadel fleets retreated to recuperate for the time being, while the Quarians maintained the defenses of the systems that the Citadel fleet had helped them lay. It is considered to have succeeded in reclaiming some of the galaxies that historically belonged to their race.

And Jace, as if he knew that he didn't have the strength to fight against the Citadel race, didn't organize a counterattack against the Quarians after relenting. However, their defensive dreadnoughts have been basically figured out by the Citadel race.

This kind of giant ship with a length of about 16oo meters is much larger than the dreadnoughts built by the mainstream races of the Divine Fortress, although the firepower is relatively weak, but the protection is extremely strong, I don't know if it is supported by the overlord's technology, in that conflict, Jace's dreadnought is almost equal to the overlord's defensive power.

It is because of this knowledge of these events that Vincent and the others know what kind of danger they are facing. If you want to break the defense of the Jess dreadnought, the Budapest's firepower is definitely insufficient now. Because the degree of the opponent's shield return is almost the same as the degree of firepower output by the Budapest!

Returning to the current situation, although those Jace battleships were still far away from their range at this time, Sister Xue ordered the Budapest to immediately lean over to intercept it, and let her Normandy hide behind to avoid directly confronting the enemy.

Although it is true that the opposing side has a bit too many combat ships, the current Budapest is not an ordinary heavy cruiser. In Sister Xue's opinion, as long as it is used well, it is still very possible to use the Budapest to force back or even kill the Jace fleet in front.

Although the Jace dreadnoughts that had just jumped in the distance were not something they could deal with now, those Jaces landed far away, and it would take a certain amount of time to join the battle, and it was impossible for that class of Jace dreadnoughts to rush over and affect the battle situation all at once. (To be continued!)
