Chapter 374 Fierce Battle and Turning Point at the Edge of the Black Hole
The black hole, like a gigantic maw of the universe, silently yet terrifyingly devoured everything around it. Its intense gravity distorted even light, and the entire space seemed to be kneaded by an invisible hand. The fleet approached cautiously, each step fraught with peril, the crew's nerves stretched to the limit.
"Activate full-power shields and closely monitor changes in gravity." Lin Yu stared intently at the screen, his hands unconsciously clenching, his voice low but firm as he issued the command. The warship slowly sailed towards the black hole, the effects of gravity becoming increasingly apparent. The ship began to shake violently, instruments emitted sharp alarms, and data fluctuated wildly on the screen.
Suddenly, a group of strangely shaped mechanical creatures surged from the matter flow surrounding the black hole. They were entirely black, their surfaces shimmering with an eerie red light, and they pounced on the fleet like ghosts. "Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice echoing through the communication channel, instantly igniting the fleet's fighting spirit.
The weapon systems activated instantly, unleashing beams of energy like lightning towards the mechanical creatures. However, these creatures were incredibly agile, nimbly weaving through the energy beams, easily dodging the attacks, and reaching the fleet in the blink of an eye. One warship's shield was struck by the mechanical creatures' attack, emitting a bright light, and its energy reading plummeted.
"These guys are no ordinary creatures! Concentrate your firepower on their core!" Ellie shouted as she operated her weapon. The fleet quickly adjusted its attack strategy, focusing its firepower on the core area of the mechanical creatures. Under the powerful barrage, several mechanical creatures were successfully destroyed, turning into piles of scrap metal floating in space.
However, the sheer number of mechanical creatures was overwhelming, putting increasing pressure on the fleet's defenses. At the same time, the black hole's gravity was intensifying, severely impacting the warships' propulsion systems and gradually slowing them down. "This won't do. We have to deal with these mechanical creatures and resist the black hole's gravity at the same time; we simply can't fight at full strength," a crew member said anxiously.
Lin Yu knew the situation was critical. He quickly surveyed the battlefield and discovered that the mechanical creatures seemed to be controlled by some kind of energy fluctuation from the black hole. "Ellie, analyze the connection between the black hole's energy fluctuations and the mechanical creatures' actions. Perhaps we can use this to break their attack," Lin Yu said.
Ellie quickly got to the analysis and soon found the connection between the two: "Lin Yu, I discovered that the mechanical organisms' movement frequency is synchronized with a low-frequency energy fluctuation of the black hole. We can emit interference waves to disrupt their movement rhythm."
Lin Yu immediately ordered, "Adjust the frequency of the jamming waves and fire at the mechanical creatures!" With the jamming waves launched, the mechanical creatures became sluggish and chaotic, and their coordination faltered significantly. The fleet seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, unleashing a fierce attack on the mechanical creatures.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Lin Yu suddenly discovered a brief energy weakness in the black hole's accretion disk. Although this weakness was fleeting, it gave him a glimmer of hope. "Everyone, pay attention! I've found an energy weakness in the black hole! Let's concentrate our mysterious power and try to create a breakthrough at this point!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly.
However, just as the fleet was preparing to concentrate its forces on attacking the black hole's weak point, more mechanical creatures emerged from the depths of the black hole. Their attacks became even more ferocious, as if they had sensed the fleet's intentions and were doing everything they could to stop them.
The fleet is once again in trouble, facing a constant stream of mechanical creatures on one side and the powerful gravity of a black hole on the other. Can they seize the fleeting opportunity in this desperate situation and break through the black hole's defenses?
