Chapter 573: 185. World = Black Hole?
“Denise, you rest first. Professor Erica is looking for me.”
Noland Lee entered the room, disregarding the only bed in the cabin, and sat down on the chair across from the bed with his usual composure.
The emergency spaceship was for emergencies, so the cabin space was limited. The room only had a bed, a wooden chair, and a table, and even the washing room was shared.
Denise glanced at the layout of the room and finally sat on the edge of the bed with a hint of nervousness, her body slightly stiff.
Noland Lee grabbed a handful of candy from his magic pouch, and also took out several cans of food and a few easy-open canned drinks produced in Union City and placed them on the table.
“If you’re hungry, have something to eat. I’ll go to the Silent Yard to find the professor first. She’s been calling me over.”
“Okay, I’ll guard this place for you.”
Noland Lee closed his eyes, his consciousness rose, and under the escort of the indigo fumes, he entered the Silent Yard.
Still the same small classroom, this time, Noland Lee saw Comi here.
Comi was also summoned by Professor Erica and entered the Silent Yard in the form of consciousness.
When Noland Lee came here, Comi and Erica had already waited for a while.
“Sorry, it took some time to settle Denise.” Noland Lee apologized with a smile.
Comi nodded faintly.
Professor Erica waved her hand and said:
“It’s okay, not too long. Now that both of you and Comi are here, I’ll start talking about the serious stuff.”
Professor Erica took out two stacks of documents from her magic pouch, one for Noland Lee and one for Comi.
“The star fleet that you are about to face has been recorded by the Star Filtering Net. The documents have magic images sent by the Mass Wizard Tombs. Have a look first.”
Noland Lee opened the document, and a magic image that encompassed the entire star fleet appeared on the first page of the document.
Fifty extraterrestrial spaceships, one large and forty-nine small.
The largest one was the disc-shaped object that appeared in Berkeley’s dream.
This aircraft has been temporarily named the Saucer Interstellar Ship, or simply Disc-shaped Ship by the Mass Wizard Tombs.
The text under the magic image shows that the diameter of the disc-shaped ship is close to 2000 meters, and the height of the cylindrical hull that protrudes upward in the center of the disc exceeds 800 meters, making it an undisputed behemoth.
Its purpose and functionality are not yet clear.
However, from its position in the team, some clues can still be seen.
The disc-shaped ship was protected by forty-nine smaller interstellar ships in the center of the team.
On the smaller interstellar ships, there were obvious weaponry devices. Undoubtedly, these forty-nine interstellar ships were offensive, and their main responsibility was to protect the disc-shaped ship.
Considering that Deep Space United Mining targets magic ships for plunder, the function of the disc-shaped ship becomes apparent.
It is a cargo ship designed to accommodate magic ships. With a large capacity, high load capacity, slow movement, and lacking self-protection capabilities, these are its distinctive features.
The objective of Ulnas Circle is to capture at least 10 members of Deep Space United Mining alive and seize at least one interstellar ship. These people and things will be sent to Ulnas Circle after the battle, becoming the subjects for wizards of the native world to study Deep Space United Mining.
Even if it attracts revenge from Deep Space United Mining, Ulnas Circle must do so. The defects of the “Metallic Thinking” meditation have already shown signs of undermining the foundation of Ulnas Circle.
The number of wizards who have mastered this meditation is very high, and most of them are highly combative, with long lifespans and occupying important positions in Ulnas Circle.
If the defect of the “Metallic Thinking” meditation is not eliminated, then metal wizards who studied and graduated from the Hotams Metal Department will not be able to enjoy peace.
At such a critical juncture, Ulnas Circle is bound to capture this extraterrestrial space fleet invading the native world.
The fighting will be done by other combat wizards.
Professor Erica called Noland Lee and Comi for another matter:
“According to the experience of Star Witches, the star fleet usually has energy shield deployers. This ship equipment can launch energy shields to protect the ships. The effects of the ship shields are similar to the magic shields of our wizards. The Star Witches of the Pure Light Court have confirmed that their spells have a very weak effect on the ship shields and are far from reaching the breaking law effect.
“At present, only the ‘Shield Dissolution Ray’ has a miraculous effect on ship shields. The Department of Magic gave me a secret order to test the breaking law effect of Silent power and see if it can work on the shields of the star fleet.”
Erica took out two magic scrolls and held them up:
“I temporarily made two high-lethality ‘Silent Steel Crossbow’ summoning scrolls. The Silent Steel Crossbow stored in the scroll is already filled with Silent power, which can launch steel crossbow arrows carrying Silent power. The crossbow has a spell, and the bowstring is made of high-quality magical alloy. The matching enchanted crossbow arrows abandon armor-piercing effects and extremely enhance the flight distance. Therefore, the maximum range of the steel crossbow reaches 55 kilometers, and there will be no falling arrows in the maximum range.”
“I have provided you with 15 arrows each. Each of you has 15 chances to send these enchanted crossbow arrows to the shields of the interstellar ships. After the arrowhead of the crossbow arrow hits the shield, if there is a strong and clear gray flame, it means that the breaking law effect is working normally, and any other colors of flame represent that the breaking law has failed.”
