Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 1281 - 16: Put It In

Capítulo 1281: Chapter 16: Put It In

If it weren’t for the might of the Dawn Battleship just now, Mu Fan might have been turned into ashes like those warships.

“The space near the Jump Point is severely distorted, making effective analysis of energy ripples difficult, but according to the recent images, we haven’t been attacked!” Black’s voice was unusually angry too.

“Evil Wing, we need your explanation now! If you don’t have one, we’ll just throw you in there!”

Just pulled his head out from the wall, Evil Wing: ??

That puzzled expression clearly meant…

[What are you talking about?]

Its lantern-like eyes were full of confusion, completely unaware of the situation.

Yet now, as Mu Fan’s eyes filled with a hint of anger looked over, this dragon inexplicably felt its legs weaken.

Forget it, let’s lie down first…

Don’t disgrace the dragon.

Thus, Evil Wing obediently lay on the floor of the central warehouse, covering its head with its wings, letting out pitiful cries.

“Evil Wing said it doesn’t understand the situation either? It said it was scared to death just now… this stupid dragon!”

Black repeated the words and immediately began a rant.

That courage must belong to a dog.

Evil Wing let out a few more pitiful cries.

“It said it has never entered this Jump Point because last time it came here, there was no unusual aura.”

“Not?” Mu Fan looked at the dragon trembling in fear, abandoning the idea of questioning further.

This dragon’s intellect is unlikely to design a trap for him.

What’s the cause then?

Or maybe…

Mu Fan’s eyes glinted coldly.

The dead Jude must have hidden something in the ruins’ intelligence!

“Black, can you analyze the situation?”

“Though difficult… it’s possible! Requires time, please wait.”

The damaged Shadow Fleet began to reform its formation, completely pulling away from the ruins’ Jump Point’s gravitational range, and started to realign.

All weapons simultaneously deployed, aimed at that bottomless abyss-like Jump Point.

Sequential energy ripples forcibly emitted.

Yet on the light screen before Mu Fan, as soon as a silhouette appeared, it was swallowed whole by the vortex.

“Energy disappeared…”

“Energy absorbed.”

“Signal lost.”

Time ticked by second by second.

Without yielding effective results at all.

An hour, three hours…

Mu Fan stood motionless in the center of the bridge.

The progress bar moved from 0.5% to 2.47%, at this pace.

Mu Fan might be stuck here for nearly a week.

Yet next second, that 2.47% surprisingly dropped by 0.01%, becoming 2.46%.

“How can it decrease?”

“Testing direction failed, recalibrating progress,” Black’s voice began to sound irritated.

Another hour passed.

Black’s voice became resolute, “Data speculation failed, proceeding to simulation projection.”

In Black’s logic database, tests were divided into data speculation and actual simulation areas.

Now it needed to recreate the explosion scene.

So it started projecting each squad from escape pods to mini destroyers, then to cruisers and heavy battlecruisers.

If all failed, then this Jump Point might have to be abandoned.

“Only Dawn is a battleship, temporarily not considering projection, hence starting from the largest Giant Rock Battleship.”

Black’s subprogram stayed on a Giant Rock Ship, as it accelerated towards the Jump Point, this time, the entire fleet’s monitoring focused on the Jump Point from various angles.

Acceleration…

Closing in…

Then exploded without any forewarning.

Just as flames surged, they were absorbed into the Jump Point.

…

As if nothing ever happened.

“Replay the video.” 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The footage began in slow motion.

Suddenly, Mu Fan’s pupils contracted instantly.

For he saw the ship’s bow crumble abruptly when it was about to enter the Jump Point, seemingly crushed by an invisible giant hand.

“Detected anomaly, continuing with further analysis.”

The second ship was a Reef Cruiser, though half the size of the Giant Rock Battleship, still falls under the heavy warship sequence.

Another explosion.

Third ship, Armored Guard Ship.

Again explosion.

Though each explosion meant an expensive warship was completely destroyed, Mu Fan’s expression finally began to ease.

Because this time, even he noticed the pattern within.

“There are only destroyers and escape pods left, right?”

“Yes. The time to prove the speculation has come, escape pods cannot be operated in reverse, thus I’ll project the escape pod along with a destroyer.”

In the light screen, a barely over 5 meters long escape pod and a 30 meters long small destroyer headed towards the Jump Point one after the other.

Of course, the escape pod’s speed is far from enough, hence pushed by the destroyer.

Closer…

Mu Fan’s eyes remained unblinking.

Escape pod… entered!

Mu Fan’s pupils contracted.

Next was the destroyer, only a tenth the height of Dawn, looked still narrower than the barrel of the Dawn Railgun.

Bow entered…

Stern entered…

Unscathed!

“As expected!”

Black’s voice was icy.

Including the prior battle losses, a total of 40 warships paid the price for it to finally understand the pattern inside.

“Final test to confirm results.”

Another destroyer entered the Jump Point, still without the slightest anomaly.

“Result confirmed.”

Black’s voice sounded.

“This ruins’ Jump Point is quite interesting…”

“Or maybe Jude intentionally left out this detail in the intelligence sold to you earlier.”

“Records indicate no precedent of ships being crushed by a Jump Point, because normal Jump Points have certain tension, while this Jump Point, not only lacks tension, but its transition diameter is severely restricted!”

“It’s just a pinpoint at the vortex center! Yet elsewhere… clearly a steel barrier!”

“And one possessing space cutting ability, when objects larger than the passage enter, colliding under warp speed against unknowingly thick barriers, the result is only one—incineration.”

Black announced the experimental results at top speed, feeling a burst of fear itself.

If Dawn wasn’t somewhat behind in position, Mu Fan might have been finished indeed.

The Solomon people are indeed utterly sinister!

“Now confirmed that any craft smaller than a Night-class Destroyer can enter.”

“Giant Rock Battlecruiser, Reef Cruiser, Armored Guard Ship including the Flagship [Dawn] cannot enter.”

“Only a diameter no larger than twenty meters is allowed.

“… Three Night-class Destroyers remain.”

After listening to Black’s report, Mu Fan’s mind became thoroughly clear.

“Then Night-class Destroyer,” his voice was exceptionally firm.

“But this way… we don’t know what’s on the other side. Without artillery escort, you may very well encounter danger again.”

“And Shura.”

“Alright.”

Conversation finished, Mu Fan glanced at the bewildered [Evil Wing] on the rear light screen.

“Bring it along.”

“What? Stuff this fat dragon into the Night-class Destroyer?”

“Can it fit!?”
