I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 743: Chapter 453: True – Everything Under Control【5700 Words】_2

Some people quickly entered small and medium-sized escape vessels, preparing to scatter and retreat in different directions.

The purpose of these people scattering was not really to escape, but to simply buy themselves some more time before being hunted down.

This was a valuable lesson learned from countless destroyed escape vessels and the sacrifice of countless lives. The only goal was to buy time.

But then, something strange happened.

Those Blade Mantises, which only needed a few dozen seconds and a few more attacks to completely destroy Sky Peak 917, suddenly stopped their attack and flew towards the Spherical Battleship that was millions of kilometers away, watching the battlefield from afar.

Near the Spherical Battleship, other Dragonfly Fighters, Beetles, and numerous large and small combat units also quickly retreated.

In less than twenty seconds, the trace of the Spherical Battleship disappeared.

It left!

This was an unusual phenomenon.

It was rare for the Compound-Eyed Observer’s pursuers to retreat without finishing off the human escape vessel.

It would occasionally happen, but only for one reason: they had discovered another, larger human vessel with more members not far away.

But this couldn’t be possible.

Sky Peak 917 must be the largest escape unit in this nearby star zone.

So why, then?

Everyone looked at each other.

Commander of Sky Peak 917, a 190-year-old white-haired old captain, pondered for a while and said, “Since we have already restored contact with the Empire and are fully exposed in the quantum network, we might as well try to activate the scanning system and see what the Spherical Warship is up to.”

Others agreed.

Seeing everyone’s approval, the old captain nodded, “Alright, let’s do it. Oh, and have all the small and medium-sized escape ships continue to scatter and evacuate. As for me… it doesn’t matter if I leave or not, I might as well stay and use my captain’s authority to trigger a self-destruction later, and see if I can blow up some stuff.”

About a minute later, the Large Compound Scanner was successfully activated and used the quantum entanglement effect to establish a relatively rough information model.

People in the command room of Sky Peak 917 saw the scene 9 billion kilometers away.

The Spherical Battleship.

And… a human figure.

The two sides were confronting each other across 2 million kilometers of distance.

“Huh? A person? What’s going on? Who is this person? Are there any other surviving soldiers appearing here besides us?”

The experienced old captain was also dumbfounded.

He had been in the army for 170 years, starting as an ordinary soldier and working his way up to a flagship captain, then honorably retired and became the person in charge of this escape vessel.

He had seen both the conventional and experimental advanced equipment, and even personally experienced the Galaxy Armor and many traditional older pieces of equipment from hundreds of years ago.

He used to be a supporter of individual soldier armor, but it turned out that the cost-effectiveness of individual soldier armor was low, and cluster fighter jets were more efficient.

In large-scale space battles, the coordination of conventional fighter jets was more natural, systematic, and easier to mass-produce while consuming less advanced materials.

It could be roughly calculated that the rare resources needed to manufacture one individual soldier armor were sufficient to produce ten fighter jets.

With the continuous advancement of technology and a deeper understanding of ultra-high mobility technology, if a single soldier armor is to be manufactured to match the technology level, the amount of information required to be processed by the operator during a battle and the operation difficulty would be too high, and the comprehensive quality requirements for soldiers would be too demanding.

To train an elite individual soldier would consume resources a thousand times more than that of an ordinary soldier.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Those with the talent to become an individual soldier warrior were few and far between.

Therefore, it was challenging for a single star zone to train individual soldier battalions on a large scale and organization.

Indeed, humans in this timeline were stronger than before, with higher gene awakening levels. If the soldiers of the ninth timeline were placed in the eighth timeline, they would be everywhere like Galaxy Warriors.

However, different technological backgrounds would also breed different levels of military technology.

The Galaxy Equipment of the past was indeed the core equipment of humans, but their combat effectiveness might not be comparable to that of an ordinary fighter jet in this timeline. If they couldn’t even pierce the armor, then being flashy was pointless.

It was also impossible for stronger soldiers to lower their own standards to match outdated equipment.

Furthermore, for those top-ranking fighters, instead of becoming an individual soldier armor warrior, it was better to let them control a special fighter jet and become the spearhead character that coordinates with their fighter array.

Under multiple factors, human civilization in this timeline has evolved on its own and taken a different path. Individual soldier armor has not become the main combat concept, and there are only a few experimental models in the major galaxies, but they are not significant.

The old captain had seen many battle armors but never expected that a single soldier armor of only three meters in height could confront the Spherical Battleship.

He hadn’t even thought about it.

The old captain decided to synchronize with the intelligent brain database to query the information and report the scene to the highest command of the Morrowind Empire.

Now, not only were they all puzzled, but so were the tens of thousands of people in the Morrowind Empire’s highest command.

Everyone was lost.
