This shot must not hit.

Therefore, Ying Feng did not choose the safest backside of Yuanjin Star, as it would mean the spacecraft could be targeted by hundreds of warships from other directions.

What if those traitors have already aimed there too?

This shot must also not be endured.

Thus, the Tracer must stay on the outside of the planet but needs to maneuver in a direction with no pattern.

As long as it dodges the next predicted volley, then the next shot, and the next shot after that, must not hit the Tracer again.

Once half an hour has passed, the cooling repairs of the energy system will be initially completed, and the Tracer will regain shield defense.

Then, if it can continue to avoid the pinpoint targeting of Armed Battleships and the Star System Level Main Cannon, and last another twenty-four hours, the energy system will be fully restored and can operate at full power. By then, it will initiate more efficient gravitational traction flight and can restart full invisibility capabilities.

Here, the proximity to the Source Sun is significant; it is a massive gravitational source. With proper utilization, the Tracer, with a diameter of 100 kilometers, can still attain the strongest maneuverability.

By then, with its built-in weapons system and the Ice Sealing Army, the Tracer will be invincible.

Ying Feng has a wide operational window and a strategic plan.

Seconds later, another orange-yellow beam hit the surface of the Tracer.

This was independently fired by the nearest Armed Battleship's main cannon.

However, this solitary burst of energy did not cause any substantial damage to the Tracer; it only slightly melted a jet outlet of its surface's medium engine, slightly reducing its performance. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

As for the farther Armed Battleships, their gunfire still has a long way to go to reach the Tracer.

Meanwhile, one after another, palm-sized mini Flying Devices flew out from countless openings on the Tracer's surface, heading in various directions.

Next, these Flying Devices will act as the Tracer's eyes, helping it anticipate incoming energy weapon strikes.

Inside each Flying Device is a precisely constructed miniature Ghost Particle Communicator. These communicators don't need the assistance of the "network" and have a direct link with the spacecraft's intelligent brain, allowing information to return to the spacecraft faster than the speed of light. These are recon drones.

In the next nearly ten minutes, the Tracer was hit by hundreds of shots.

This Empire-originated Colonization Ship demonstrated remarkable defense capabilities.

Of the hundreds of Armed Ship main cannon strikes, only a few dozen hit the Tracer, while most were preemptively triggered by decoys or the Beam Energy Cannon's gunfire inside the Tracer.

As Ying Feng predicted, at exactly ten minutes, another volley of 2,763 beams was fired.

Unfortunately, they missed.

The cluster of conical beams narrowly missed the Tracer, then scattered again, either heading towards the sun or disappearing into the vast universe.

Ren Zhong anticipated Ying Feng's potential escape direction and nearly succeeded.

But to lock onto an object with a "mere" 100-kilometer diameter over tens of billions of kilometers is extremely challenging.

Even if the coordinate setting has only a one-ten-thousandth error, it can lead to a huge deviation.

However, Ying Feng still underestimated one point—there was no third volley.

Ren Zhong believed that once the opponent becomes aware and starts to maneuver, the long-duration predictive volley loses its meaning.

Ren Zhong's real killer move is the close-range boarding battle.

Half an hour later, without a third or fourth volley, the Tracer's force field shield recovered first.

During this time, Ren Zhong's fleet of Armed Battleships did not come up empty-handed.

Nearly a thousand relatively close warships used intermittent pinpoint fire to destroy nearly half of the Tracer's surface medium engines, significantly lowering its conventional flight speed and suppressing its acceleration capability.

Exploiting this speed difference, nearly a thousand Armed Battleships scattered in all directions accelerated first and surrounded the Tracer.

The boarding battle promised by Ren Zhong to Li Yang is now unavoidable.

During this period, the Tracer also fired its Beam Energy Cannon repeatedly, trying to use energy flows to intercept warships attempting to approach in advance.

Ren Zhong had made advance preparations and had long since scattered creative informatics exceeded self-destruct robot data collectors along the way, similar in function to the recon drones on the Tracer.
