Chapter 202: Chapter 202: T5 Fleet Steed-Class Interstellar Warp Ship
After Xing Shuwen departed with Han Peipei to the rest chamber, Feng Mo couldn't shake a lingering unease. This woman was formidable, possessing abilities that went beyond mere perception and mind reading, intertwined with advanced interstellar technology. As much as Feng Mo was tempted, he held back. His responsibilities were colossal, carrying the fate of hundreds of billions of citizens within the Storm Empire, and he couldn't act on impulse.
Once he settled his thoughts, Feng Mo turned his attention to the Singularity mission panel. The mission to rescue the Star Spirit Clan member was completed, and it was time to claim the reward.
[Temporary Mission: Repel the Galactic Mech Clan fleet and rescue the Star Spirit Clan member. (Completed) Reward: T5 Fleet Steed-Class Interstellar Warp Ship blueprint]
He selected to receive the reward.
[Reward claimed: T5 Fleet Steed-Class Interstellar Warp Ship blueprint obtained.]
Finally, he had acquired the warp ship blueprint. This new type of starship incorporated advanced technology that even the Stellar Human Federation hadn't mastered. With this, the Storm Empire had crossed from simply catching up to potentially surpassing the Federation's technical capabilities.
The time when the Storm Empire would outstrip the Stellar Human Federation was not far off; Feng Mo believed that day was within reach.
T5 Fleet Steed-Class Interstellar Warp Ship:
Armor Strength: 2000 units
Dimensions: 8 km x 2 km x 1.6 km
Cruising Speed: 420 celestial knots
Warp Drive: Level 5
Shield Energy: Level 5, 100%
Weaponry: T5 mini-warp gate (micro star gate)
This vessel required only a set of interstellar coordinates to teleport, operating as a mobile warp gate, though in miniature form. Currently, the Storm Empire used a T4-level small star gate, sufficient in technology for its needs.
The mini-warp gate could transport up to one hundred starships at a time, making it suitable for small-scale skirmishes. However, the warp ship had several limitations, primarily in range, roughly confined to the scale of the Storm Empire's domain.
However, the T5 Fleet Steed-Class Warp Ship came with a heavy energy demand. Each teleportation consumed over ten times the energy required for a single full volley from the Paladin-class ship, yet the Storm Empire's resources could absorb this cost.
Following his usual protocol, Feng Mo ordered Ai Er to pilot the Orca from the Spark System to the Beast Roar System. There, Ai Er would personally escort the blueprint back to the storage vault on Hurricane Prime, where Alisa would oversee research and construction.
Feng Mo hoped Alisa could thoroughly analyze the blueprint, extract the relevant technology, and perhaps apply it to other starships to enhance their performance. Rather than rushing to build the warp ship, Feng Mo emphasized the need for careful study to master the technology fully before construction.
The fleet returned to the Beast Roar System, which was now on full alert, with patrols constantly circling the system. The Storm Fleet was stationed strategically, with five T5 Wolf Kings, two T5 Mystic Birds, and one T5 Pegasus stationed defensively on the system's prime planet.
For the next month, Feng Mo intended to stand guard here, expecting retaliation from the Galactic Mech Clan, known for their hidden arrogance beneath a facade of civility. After suffering such losses, they would not let this matter rest.
Upon arriving on the Beast Roar System's prime planet, Feng Mo left Xing Shuwen's care to Hua Qin, arranging a comfortable chamber in the spaceport and assigning two female guards for her service.
Meanwhile, Feng Mo dispatched two T5 Mystic Birds and two T4 Scorpions to stealthily monitor the interstellar spaces around the Sairon Prime, keeping a close eye on the Galactic Mech Clan's movements.
As Feng Mo had anticipated, the Sairon System became a hive of activity, with the Galactic Mech Clan amassing a substantial fleet around Sairon Prime. They organized the local pirate forces as cannon fodder, mobilizing them to head toward the Beast Roar System.
Upon receiving the intel, Feng Mo moved quickly to the Beast Roar spaceport, summoning Little Z. This star beast, once subdued by the Storm God and implanted with a loyalty chip, had thrived on the Beast Roar prime planet. Though it endured weekly blood draws, Little Z considered the planet a paradise, relishing the ample food and open skies.
The reconnaissance data from the T5 Mystic Birds revealed a formidable force: 240 T5 Mech Warships, 1000 T4 Mech Warships, 130 T5 pirate starships, and 700 T4 pirate ships. The combined fleet amounted to 2070 vessels, including 370 T5 and 1700 T4 ships.
It was a mighty force, but Feng Mo wasn't entirely outmatched. He swiftly recalled the T4 starships from the Celestial Crystal Fleet to merge temporarily with the Beast Roar Fleet, amassing a combined force of 1200 T4 ships.
Together with four quasi-T5 flagships and ten T5 ships from the Storm Fleet, backed by a space station armed with 300 T4 laser cannons, Feng Mo felt confident in his ability to repel the Galactic Mech Clan's assault.
Positioned within the Storm God's command room, Feng Mo watched the T5 Mystic Birds' surveillance feed. When the Mech Clan fleet entered interstellar space within the Beast Roar System, he issued his command:
"Mello, assign the two T5 Mystic Birds to target the enemy T5 vessels, initiating a saturation attack. Their mission is straightforward: use the Mystic Birds' stealth capabilities to harass the enemy fleet, focusing on eliminating their T5 starships."
"Yes, my lord!" Mello responded, promptly initiating the maneuver.
To Feng Mo, the greatest threat from the Galactic Mech Clan's fleet was their 370 T5-class ships. The Storm Fleet in the Beast Roar System only had ten, so Feng Mo planned to ambush the Mech Clan fleet while they were still within interstellar space.
Leveraging the unique conditions of interstellar space, this approach would maximize the Mystic Birds' protection from retaliation, allowing for a successful ambush. A stealth attacker should strike from the shadows, delivering a lethal blow before disappearing.
The two T5 Mystic Birds began their mission, flanking the Mech Clan fleet on both sides.
"Lock onto their T5 Mech Warships, prioritize targets, and don't linger—fire the first wave of missiles and withdraw immediately to avoid detection!"
