Is this world a black hole?
This absurd yet somewhat reasonable idea stayed in Li Nuo's mind for less than five seconds before being washed away by the shock brought by the Star Fleet.
When the first interstellar ship passed through the gap in the star filter, a system message was refreshed in Li Nuo's mind.
["Unknown model of interstellar ship detection equipment" is detecting your whereabouts. 】
[Affected by unknown factors, the performance of all technology-side detection equipment is 1% of normal conditions. 】
[The other party failed to detect your presence. 】
The performance of the detection equipment is only 1%!
Is this a detection device used by the world's laws to suppress technology?
Or is it caused by a special star?
Li Nuo was in a daze and put this question behind him.
The key is not the cause of this situation, but that the technology-side detection equipment is only 1% effective.
This directly made Starfleet blind.
Just as Li Nuo was thinking this, he saw fifty ships of the Star Fleet flying cautiously into this world.
They descended from a very high altitude at a constant speed and flew towards the lone magic ship on the sea. There were no fluctuations in the sea around the magic ship, and no one could be seen.
It is estimated that the crew members on the ship are wondering why the ship's detection equipment did not detect any enemies, or they are lamenting that they have entered the world of wizards.
Those fifty starships were much larger than the magical images showed.
Especially the disc-shaped cargo ship.
Judging from Li Nuo's distance, this disc ship was at least three times the size of the magic ship.
The fleet finally hovered more than ten kilometers above the magic ship.
A large circular hatch opens at the bottom of the disc ship. A buzzing white light beam shot out from the hatch, covering the entire magic ship.
In this pillar of light, the magic ship left the sea at an extremely slow speed and flew towards the circular hatch at the bottom of the disc ship.
The remaining forty-nine armed interstellar ships circled around the cargo ship on alert, flying like flexible swimming fish driven by blue tail flames.
Fortunately, their speed was not fast and did not exceed the fog threshold. Otherwise, the sea area where the magic ship is located will be shrouded in the lost sea fog.
Li Nuo took out his telescope and looked at the uninvited guests in the sky.
He threw fifty deconstruction techniques in succession.
After consuming some energy points, Li Nuo obtained some panel information of this interstellar fleet.
These starships are built by the "Metal Creation Group" and can operate in space and surface environments.
The disc-shaped cargo ship is officially called the "Bustard-class heavy transport ship."
Its volume is astonishing, up to 690,000 cubic meters, and its mass is 40,000 tons.
It has enhanced cargo bay capacity and load capacity, is additionally equipped with a large number of external armored appendages, and is also equipped with an inertial suppression device to reduce the influence of inertia.
To sum up, this heavy transport ship is specially used to transport magic ships.
Twenty interstellar ships that look like bird's claws are very small in size, only 16,500 cubic meters.
They are "War Eagle-class assault frigates" designed to violently enter the battlefield and specifically target smaller individual targets.
The twenty bird-legged interstellar ships are "Jackdaw-class tactical destroyers" with a volume of 48,000 cubic meters, which is about three times the size of a frigate.
While targeting medium-sized targets, they are also responsible for detecting the battlefield space with shipborne radar. These four ships are the only ones in the team equipped with shipboard radars. In the home world's home world, their radars have all "misfired".
The remaining ten large scorpion-like ships are "Blackbird-class tactical cruisers" with a volume of 96,000 cubic meters.
This is a ship with both firepower and tactical interference, equipped with ECM (electronic countermeasures) devices. Similarly, due to unknown factors, the ship's ECM (electronic countermeasures) device only exerted 1% of its normal effectiveness.
After Li Nuo read the results of the analysis, he had only one thought in his mind:
Starfleet is so weak...
With the home field advantage, this interstellar fleet from Deep Space United Mining will definitely be crushed by the wizard army of Unas Ring, without any suspense.
The reason is very, very simple.
Shipboard detection equipment and electronic countermeasures devices are all only at 1% of normal levels. This is just one reason.
Secondly, the panel information deconstructed by Li Nuo lists the defensive attributes of each ship. Comparing these defensive attributes with the magical power of wizards, one can conclude that starships are very vulnerable in the wizarding world.
For example, the most powerful "Jackdaw-class tactical cruiser" in the Star Fleet. This kind of ship has three defense attributes: "shield value", "armor value" and "structure value".
"Shield value" comes from the shipboard shield generator. The current data is 300,000/300,000 points, and it automatically recovers 1% every second.
The resistance of this shield is relatively uniform, with the resistance to various types of damage ranging from 50% to 75%.
It has the lowest resistance to kinetic energy, only 50%.
Calculated based on 50% resistance, each point of shield value of the ship's shield can resist two points of energy damage caused by magic.
A shield value of 300,000 can offset 600,000 points of magic energy damage.
What is this concept?
According to Li Nuo’s previous battle record with Comini:
This seven-ringed silent witch only used 20% of her strength to create damage per second with an energy intensity of 24,000.
When her firepower is fully activated, her damage per second can easily reach 100,000 points of energy intensity per second.
It only takes about 6 seconds for her to penetrate the ship shield of the "Jackdaw-class tactical cruiser".
After that, it is a matter of course to penetrate the hull armor and hull structure and return its "armor value" and "structure value" to zero.
Unknown factors suppress the starship's detection capabilities. At the same time, the local laws of the wizarding world have also greatly strengthened the local combat capabilities of wizards. In the inner star sky, the wizard's magical power is five times that of the outer star sky.
The suppression and bonus of the law interacted with each other, and finally a situation emerged where Comini alone could kill a "Jackdaw-class tactical cruiser" in a one-on-one duel.
And there are a thousand combat wizards like Komini lurking in this sea.
The ensuing battle will be one-sided, and it is a sure thing. It can be said that it is a killing opportunity.
In general, there is only one "Bustard-class heavy transport ship" that can survive the wizards' magic fire for a while.
This is Li Nuo's simple deduction of the battle situation.
Li Nuo held up the crossbow and looked sideways at Comini, who was not far away.
The lower half of the silent witch's face was covered by a metal mask, leaving her nose, eyes and forehead exposed.
She has recovered from the shock of seeing the Starfleet with her own eyes, and is now relatively calm, with no trace of nervousness at all.
"Sir, what do you think of the strength of this interstellar fleet?" Li Nuo asked.
Comini showed no mercy to his enemies and said bluntly:
"It's very weak. They can't last more than three rounds under the attack of a thousand combat wizards. They probably suffered heavy casualties in the first round of magic volleys. I'm a little worried now that there won't be any survivors left."
Comini shook his head slightly and sighed:
"Recalling the secrets Professor Erica told me, I feel a little helpless. After leaving this world, our wizards' strength has declined too much, and we are actually beaten by this kind of interstellar fleet in the outer space..."
Before she could say more, a strange movement from the alien opening interrupted her words.
"Hush, be silent, the battle is about to begin. The wizards of the Star Filter are closing the alien gap. Once the gap is closed, the star fleet will have nowhere to escape."
A black thread like gossamer appeared on the night that was torn open by the Star Fleet.
These black threads quickly weaved a net, sealing the holes in the night. As the number of black threads increases, the gaps in the holes decrease rapidly.
In less than a minute, the alien gap opened by Starfleet in the star filter was closed.
At the same time that the alien gap was closed, a magical light as bright as the sun bloomed around the interstellar fleet!
"Boom boom~~" Various magic light balls flew out, hit the shield of the interstellar ship, and exploded into brilliant fireworks that lit up the night sky.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!..." The thunder raged, and the electric light shot out. Many lightning wizards jointly cast spells, tilting the lightning towards the star fleet. Electric snakes several meters thick were raging and colliding among the star fleet.
A total of eight black waterspouts reaching into the sky rose from the surface of the Black Fold Sea. They circled at high speed around the center of the battlefield, disrupting the airflow around the starship and blocking all the enemy's paths.
The colorful magical spectacle caused everyone on the emergency ship to be temporarily distracted.
Komini was the first to recover from his trance, roared, raised his crossbow and fired the crossbow:
"Quick! Jarvis! Fire the Silent Bolt! This star fleet is vulnerable! We must act quickly!"
Li Nuo was clever and came to his senses. He quickly aimed at the "Bustard-class heavy transport ship" and fired the Silent Crossbow.
The night sky near the battlefield was lit up by magical light, and the light of lightning and magic light balls exploding flashed continuously. The silent crossbow arrows fired by Li Nuo and Comini seemed extremely small in such a big scene.
Almost as soon as the crossbow arrow flew a thousand meters, Li Nuo could no longer see the crossbow arrow.
Komini was better, but he could only sense the silent magic on the crossbow arrows within a few thousand meters at most.
Li Nuo and Comini stared at the disc ship with wide eyes, waiting for feedback.
Based on the flying speed of the Silent Crossbow, they would know the answer in about 20 seconds.
For Starfleet, these 20 seconds were full of suffering and despair.
Amidst the overwhelming bombardment of lightning and magic, the assault frigate, which was the smallest and had the lowest defense value, was the first to burp.
This kind of ship has the fastest flight speed and is also the most flexible. But no matter what, the wizards released an oversaturated magic bombing, and they had nowhere to hide.
They only lasted for less than 3 seconds before they turned into fireballs that exploded in the air and fell to the sea with black smoke and debris.
Immediately afterwards, the tactical destroyers were also wiped out, leaving only a fireball in the air that was larger and brighter than the assault frigates.
The tactical cruiser can survive the magic blast longer, and can even use missiles and rapid cannons to symbolically resist.
When the 20 seconds of crossbow flight time was up, only the heavy transport ship was left in the sky.
In order to ensure that they could stay alive and that they could capture a ship, the combat wizards participating in the battle stopped casting spells uniformly.
Most of the magical light in the night sky has dissipated, and only eight black waterspouts standing around the battlefield are still fulfilling their mission, completely blocking the path of the heavy transport ship.
The Silent Crossbow pierced the shield of the heavy transport ship at this moment. Two small but very clear and bright gray fires burst out from the transparent ship shield.
"Successful?" Comini was stunned for a moment, "Jarvis, that was indeed gray fire, right?"
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded, threw out the deconstruction technique and looked at it.
After the gray fire broke out, the shield value of the disc ship suddenly dropped by more than 20,000 points!
You know, there is only 1 point of Silent Magic Power on a single Silent Crossbow Arrow!
On average, 1 point of Silent Magic reduces the shield value by more than 10,000 points. This spell-breaking effect can only be described as awesome.
Li Nuo asked:
"Are we both going to fire crossbows again?"
"No need." Comini shook his head, "I will report the situation to the professor. You can stay here for now."
Having said that, Comini entered the dreamland with the crossbow in his hand.
Li Nuo looked at the battlefield from a distance, feeling somewhat regretful in his heart.
Since the Star Fleet had not fought, and he had a mission assigned by his professor, he had no chance of snatching the tail blade.
This makes it impossible for him to harvest energy points in short battles.
The moment the wizards stopped, the beam of light pulling the magic ship disappeared.
The magic ship was now towed to a height of more than ten meters above the sea. After the traction beam disappeared, it smashed into the sea with its huge and heavy body, and the ferocious impact stirred up waves dozens of meters high.
At the same time, a dozen wizards flew near the heavy transport ship, apparently trying to communicate with the crew on the ship.
These dozen wizards circled around the heavy transport ship and came to the circular hatch directly below the transport ship.
I don’t know what they said or did inside. In short, the translucent white shield outside the heavy transport ship flashed a few times and then was closed.
Without the obstruction of the ship's shield, the dozen wizards successfully entered the ship and formally met with the crew on the ship.
Li Nuo threw out several deconstruction techniques one after another and looked at it.
The wizards who entered the ship each had the strength of nine or ten rings, but only a few were combat wizards. They should be a delegation sent by Unas Ring.
Li Nuo also wanted to take a walk inside the ship to experience the technology of the Metal Creation Group. But his current status is too low, and he will not have the opportunity to board the ship to visit.
As for using "Psychic Beacon" and "Psychic Sight" to secretly observe the scene on the ship...
After thinking again and again, Li Nuo chose to give up.
There was no way, a thousand combat wizards near the battlefield had not left, and the dozen or so wizards who entered the ship were all very "spirited."
Using mind magic in front of a wizard of this size and strength is no different from wandering on the street with your pants off.
Although Li Nuo was very curious about the interior scenes of the ship, he would not take such risks.
It seems that there is no chance to board the ship~
Li Nuo shook his head secretly and sighed.
The next second, Comini opened his eyes and said:
"Let's go, let's go to the disc ship and meet the wizard delegation."
"Uh, what?" Li Nuo was feeling sorry for not being able to board the ship, and he didn't react for a moment:
"Did I hear you correctly? Are we going to get on the ship?"
"Yes, you heard that right."
Komini patted the Silent Steel Crossbow in his hand:
"Professor Erica said that Starfleet crew members have personal shield generators. The effect and principle are similar to those of ship shield generators, but they can only be used to protect individuals. Although the protection area is small, the shield strength is a little stronger. Not bad at all. In order to prevent the crew from using personal shield generators to challenge the wizard delegation, we have to bring the Silent Steel Crossbow over there to show off and help the wizard delegation intimidate the crew on the ship."
Comini reached into his magic pocket, looking for something, and said:
"Don't talk or move when you get on the ship. Follow the instructions of the Ministry of Magic. If you don't know what to do, just follow my example."
A half-cut metal mask was taken out by Comini from the magic pocket and stuffed into Li Nuo's hand:
"Here, put on the mask of the Silent Law Enforcer. This is a mask created by enchantment. It can be automatically attached to the lower half of your face."
Li Nuo raised half of the mask in front of him. The mask floated out of his palm and stuck to the lower half of his face, covering his mouth and half of his nostrils.
【system information:】
[You are wearing the "Mask of the Silent Enforcer (Level 10)"]
[You have obtained the effects of "Calm and Calm (Level 10)" and "Law Enforcer Style". The former reduces your mood swings by about 10%. The latter makes you look more like a true silent enforcer. 】
[These two effects last until you take off the mask. 】
Komini held the Silent Steel Crossbow in his hand, turned it into gray mist, and entered flight mode.
"Okay, come with me. We have to move quickly, so as not to keep the people from the Ministry of Magic waiting too long."
Komini flew ahead, and Li Nuo followed behind using "Death Flight".
Before leaving, Li Nuo activated "Soul Sensing" and told Dinas about the situation.
Dinas understood and supported, and said that she would stay on the ship obediently.
Li Nuo saw that Dinas was so well-behaved, so he calmed down and followed Comini to speed up the flight.
While flying towards the disc ship, he truly experienced the feeling of being watched by thousands of people.
A thousand battle wizards with at least six rings of strength watched him fly into the disc ship.
The entrance he entered the ship was the circular hatch that appeared at the bottom of the ship.
Passing through this door, a huge and empty cargo hold appears in front of you. The surrounding walls are covered with gray metal pipes and warehouse boards, and the unpretentious atmosphere of steel hits your face.
There are slogans with unknown meanings on the walls of the cargo compartment, and the numbers on the metal pipes are also unfamiliar characters.
This all means that the crew driving this ship comes from another civilization.
Li Nuo squinted at the crew member standing on the floor of the cargo hold, a faint light of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
The legendary "aliens" look almost like humans. They have limbs and heads, but their bodies are slender, their heads are relatively broad, their foreheads are broad, and their hairlines are generally worrying.
They were wearing ship pilot uniforms with bulletproof transparent masks, a wrist watch with a flashing aperture on their left wrist, and a high-tech firearm in their right hand. A tool set with multiple robotic arms was also mounted on the back.
The total number of crew members exceeds one hundred, and all of them are Dsmi series synths.
Their leader was a woman at the front of the group.
The woman was dressed differently than the rest of the crew.
She was wearing a light gray windbreaker that looked like a robe, with a hood, metal shoulder straps, and patterns of unknown characters on the fabric on her arms and chest.
When Li Nuo and Comini arrived here, the wizard delegation was already communicating with the crew.
Thanks to the help of the Star Witches, the wizards have some understanding of the language spoken by the Deep Space Consolidated Mining. In order to communicate smoothly with the other party, the wizard delegation prepared in advance a magic mist that would automatically translate the languages of both parties.
When the two parties communicate, the magic mist will simultaneously change into two languages to complete the translation work.
Wizards have quicker ways to communicate. For example, use the generic spell-like language proficiency. But this action requires casting a spell on the alien.
If the aliens have unexplored extraordinary properties and happen to be able to work on spells, it will inevitably lead to trouble and disputes.
To be on the safe side, it would be safer to use something like magic aerosol that does not touch the bodies and minds of both parties as a medium of communication.
