Qi Yiming was in a burst of "Didi..." Slowly woke up to the sound of warning.

He climbed out of the dormant cabin with difficulty, ignoring the pain caused by sleep, Qi Yiming came to the bridge of the Guardian frigate to check the reason for the alarm issued by the ship's intelligent brain.

A line of bright red font flashed on the bridge's main information screen.

"Warning, the detected asteroid will hit the planet in 23 hours, 14 minutes and 35 seconds. Threat Level: Deadly. ”

The threat of lethal level indicates that the asteroid that flew to the planet where the Guardian crash-landed belongs to the planet killer.

If the impact occurs, all life on the planet will be wiped out.

However, Qi Yiming's battleship Guardian was forced to land on this planet because of energy depletion, and in the face of planetary killers, a person with bare hands really had no effective way.

Seeing that he could only wait for death, Qi Yiming decided to return to the hibernation cabin to continue sleeping, so that he could die without pain.

But when he saw the time information on the sleeping pod, the whole person was stunned.

"Dormant 1035 years, 10 months, 23 hours, 35 minutes, 15 seconds." The information panel of the hibernation pod shows the time of Qi Yiming's sleep in detail.

"More than a thousand years!! No wonder I woke up in such pain! Qi Yiming smiled bitterly: "What are you still thinking about now, and it will be completely over in more than ten hours." ”

Qi Yiming lay down in the sleep cabin again, and ordered Zhi Brain to prepare to perform the sleep procedure, and while waiting, he stared blankly at the ceiling on the top of the battleship, without the slightest anger in his eyes.

Suddenly, as if he had grasped something, he jerked himself up from the sleeping pod.

"I remember the name of another frigate that landed with the Guardian? That's right, it's the Probe! The frigate, which was specially designed for the flagship and was responsible for carrying the fire control radar. ”

Qi Yiming seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, climbed out of the dormant capsule again, and quickly came to the bridge of the Guardian, turned on the ship's radar, and launched a probe.

A few hours later, radar and detectors spotted the Exploration frigate at the same time.

"It's not far, at the speed of the Guardian's core control module, it only takes an hour to go back and forth, and a dead horse should be a live horse doctor."

Qi Yiming came to the console located in the captain's seat and pressed the button for the separation of the core control cabin.

"Clearance confirmed, core module ready to detach." The cold synthetic sound of the ship's brain sounded again.

The top armor of the Defender's hull slowly parted to the sides, and an oval-shaped vehicle was slowly dragged out of the Defender's hull by a towing beam.

"The Guardian goes into hibernation, and the master control program is transferred to the core module." Qi Yiming listened to the report of the ship's intelligent brain, staring at the progress of the separation displayed on the holographic panel in front of him.

"It looks pretty good, and after more than a thousand years, the separation work can still be carried out normally." Qi Yiming is sincerely proud, his current ship is one of the crystallizations of human civilization in the past thousand years.

"The separation of the core module is complete." The synthetic sound of the ship's intelligent brain sounds so beautiful at this time.

"Set a goal, probe the number."

"Goal setting."

"Take off." Qi Yiming gave the order to take off.

I saw that the core module ignited its own small thruster on the temporary launch platform composed of outer armor of the Guardian and slowly lifted into the air, flying in the direction of the Exploration frigate.

An hour later, Qi Yiming piloted the core module to approach the Explorer.

The Probe also sent an identification code to the Guardian's core module, which successfully passed the verification, and the Probe took over control of the core module and guided the core module to land in an open space not far from the Probe.

Qi Yiming put on an extravehicular spacesuit and exoskeleton armor, left the core module, and walked towards the Exploration frigate.

Along the way, there was no crew on the Exploration to come down to greet Qi Yiming, and it seemed that the crew here was also unlucky.

Boarding the battleship, more than a dozen white skeletons lay nestled against each other in the bridge of the Explorer.

Qi Yiming was a little sad and ordered the ship's intelligent brain to identify his identity and change the control authority of the battleship.

The process of changing permissions was very simple, after all, Qi Yiming was the only living fleet member on the scene.

However, to Qi Yiming's relief, the exploration was originally an autonomous landing, so there was no damage.

Although there is not much energy left, it is enough to complete the work of merging with the Guardian.

When the two ships merge, they will form a new ship, so that he has a chance to take out the planetary killer.

As soon as he said it, Qi Yiming ordered the core module of the Guardian to return to the Guardian autonomously.

Subsequently, with the assistance of the ship's intelligent brain, he piloted the Exploration to the site of the Guardian's forced landing.

The road was very calm, and Qi Yiming, who was piloting a battleship alone, did not dare to be careless at all, for fear that a mistake would shatter the only hope of survival.

Soon the Scout was in the skies above the Guardian.

The Guardian's core control module returned one step earlier and regained control with the Guardian once again.

After passing the identity verification, Qi Yiming gave the order for the combination of the two ships.

"Please select the combined master control program." Two options popped up on the display screen in front of Qi Yiming.

Due to the different design intentions of the Guardian and the Explorer, there will be two battle modes for Qi Yiming to choose from after they merge.

If the Defender is chosen as the main body, the armor layer of the combined warship will be extremely strong due to the fact that the Defender is characterized by providing a large number of nanobots for the combination to repair the damaged armor.

If the Explorer is chosen as the main body, then the Explorer, as the flagship's fire control radar, has an extremely excellent fire control program, and the combined battleship will become a sniper-type battleship, suitable for long-range precision strikes.

Qi Yiming thought about it, and finally chose to combine the Exploration Ship's shipboard intelligent brain as the main control program, after all, this is a task that requires accurate shooting.

After the two battleships received the order to combine, the two triple main guns located in the front and rear of the two battleships first separated from their respective hulls and slowly approached under the traction beam of their respective battleships.

The two main guns in the bow of the two ships approached and quickly combined to form a twin sniper turret that was more than twice as long as the gun barrel of a normal battleship, and the two main guns in the stern quickly disintegrated into six single-barreled secondary guns.

As the two ships slowly approached, the shipboard radar on the Defender quickly detached from her hull and flew towards the new mounting base formed on the Explorer's hull, towed by the towing beam from the Explorer.

At the same time, the armor at the bottom of the Explorer's hull has changed dramatically, forming many cavities that just wrap the upper part of the Defender's hull inside.

The two battleships slowly approached, and finally came together perfectly.

The sniper turret, which was formed earlier, was also installed on the gun mount of the new ship under the towing beam after the ship was assembled.

The six secondary guns were evenly placed on both sides of the new battleship, providing firepower for the regrouped battleship.

Qi Yiming, who was standing in the command cabin, stared at the data until the two ships completed the combination.

"The hull assembly is complete, please determine the provisional codename." The new battleship's intelligent brain is also a combination, and her computing performance should be roughly twice that of the former.

"Temporary code name 'Snow Peak'."

This is the nickname of one of the virtual networks that Qi Yiming used most often when he was a child.

"The Snow Peak has completed the combination, please ask the captain to give the order."

"Check the status of the ship."

"The ship's energy reserves are 5%, which is at a dangerous level. Engines 1 and 2 were damaged and needed to be repaired. The armor structure was slightly damaged, the main structure of the battleship was intact, and the rest of the armament was in good condition. Please note that there is a serious shortage of crews! Unable to exert the maximum combat power of the ship. ”

Qi Yiming couldn't help frowning when he looked at the basic situation of the battleship, the first and second engines should be the two engines on the Guard, and it was not unusual that they had already been damaged.

However, the energy reserve is only 5%, which means that the Snow Peak only has one chance to fire at most, and then it will return to this planet again due to lack of energy.

"It's useless to think so much, let's solve the biggest crisis in front of us first, after all, there is only one chance, and it is not certain whether it can succeed."
