"The starship group will assign 370 vessels to the battlefield, with 30 held in reserve as replacements and tasked with defending home territory. Execute?"
The AI's voice brought Qi Nan Siyun back to his senses. He had been focused entirely on the numbers on the light screen, watching the enemy rapidly disappear.
It was practically like editing numbers. He sat in his chair without doing anything, yet the figures representing the enemy plummeted.
Were the enemy's warships unmanned too? Why had they joined forces to attack us? Were the enemies being killed carbon-based lifeforms too?
Qi Nan Siyun answered, "Yes."
There were more than three hundred other starship pilots in the same position. He found that he was utterly useless as a pilot; all he needed to do was answer yes or no.
The starship's AI arranged everything. Qi Nan Siyun thought that without pilots like them, perhaps the starships would operate even faster and more flawlessly.
After receiving their pilots' commands, the starships, each ten thousand kilometers in diameter, vanished from the conventional universe. Once inside the high-energy universe, they could travel at only three hundred times the speed of light.
The spatial blockade did have some effect. At least it temporarily disabled the starships' spatial jump devices, preventing them from blinking into position to deliver crushing attacks.
The mighty starships entered the high-energy universe, their top-tier AIs continuously tracking the enemy warships' positions through incoming data.
All four hundred starships, including the thirty staying behind, began charging their main cannons.
The starship AIs began drawing energy from their artificial stellar cores. Their onboard concealment devices operated continuously, suppressing the high-energy reactions caused by that terrifying power.
More than ten thousand controllable asset modules appeared inside the main cannon channels, forming a grid like the compound eye of a
