The information was provided to the research team of the special operations unit, and their current mechs were no longer the ordinary ground combat models of the past; they had transformed into genuine space mechs. Due to the material limitations of Black Porcelain Star, the mechs produced were not of top-tier quality, but compared to the mechs from the East, they were quite impressive.
Moreover, the mech battalion here was supported by starships, while the East's mechs were merely trying to escape. In this comparison, the battle quickly ended in victory for Yunmeng.
When the starship saw that Hatu One had destroyed the East's advanced starship, it established communication with Hatu One. Upon learning that Hatu One was once a glorious special operations team, the starship, belonging to the direct line of the Yao family, was overjoyed. They thought that the Yao family's genius, who they believed to be dead, had actually returned!
After exchanging information, they learned that Yunmeng was constructing a jump point at the Chaos Nebula's gap. The East had somehow gotten wind of this and aimed to sabotage Yunmeng's jump point construction.
The special operations team on Hatu One was furious and demanded to head to the gap to support the expeditionary force. Yao Zhengqi naturally wanted to go as well, but he hesitated due to Koqi and others' presence.
At that moment, Lin Yao spoke up: "Team Yao, why don't we go talk to them? They might be willing to stay and help!"
Now was a critical time for Yunmeng; if they had a group of experts assisting them, they believed that the construction of the jump point could be completed quickly and smoothly.
"What do you think we can offer to attract them to stay and help?"
"Once the jump point is established, Yunmeng will fulfill its three-thousand-year gambling agreement and automatically become recognized by the Galactic Alliance. If we can make them esteemed guests of a recognized entity, do you think that would be enough to entice them?"
There has long been a saying about 'riding on a dragon's coattails,' which applies just as well in today's interstellar context. Many who came out with them had been stranded on Black Porcelain Star for years; most had been away from interstellar life for a long time and were still impoverished.
Now, with such a high chance of success presented before them, many would surely be tempted. The return on investment for this opportunity was astonishingly high.
However, while this sounded appealing in theory, it was akin to painting a dream for these experts in terms of what Yunmeng could currently offer. Yao Zhengqi couldn't help but sigh inwardly; Lin Yao truly had a sharp mind—bold and full of ideas.
"Alright then, I’ll leave this entirely in your hands."
"Rest assured, Commander! I will complete this mission!"
With Lin Yao taking charge, she quickly convinced over a thousand people who came to help, including Koqi. Then Yao Zhengqi unhesitatingly ordered Hatu One to set off towards the gap to support the expeditionary force and complete the construction of the jump point.
Upon hearing this news, the commander aboard the starship also strongly requested participation in the support effort.
Yao Zhengqi looked at the dilapidated exterior of the ship, worried that it might fall apart midway, and he refused without hesitation. However, the officer across from him said, "This shabby appearance is merely to deceive the enemy. This ship is specially designed to protect those high-ranking talents."
Then, before Hatu One, the ship underwent a transformation. The tattered outer shell was removed, revealing a smaller yet clearly more robust and sharp combat starship inside.
Since the ship was in good condition, Yao Zhengqi took it and rushed to the breach to support the Expeditionary Force. In order to prevent the Yunmeng Star System from establishing a jump point, Dongyang Ming was using every means at his disposal.
The ship pursuing their vessel was merely a scout; while the Expeditionary Force was still searching for the location of that advanced starship, another fleet composed entirely of advanced starships jumped in through the breach. This fleet consisted of one flagship, three battleships, and seven escort ships—a total of eleven advanced starships.
The Expeditionary Force also had a considerable number of battleships, all of which were Yunmeng's most advanced vessels, amounting to dozens. However, the current level of Yunmeng's starships barely reached that of entry-level ships, which was on an entirely different scale compared to advanced starships.
Just one advanced starship had already put them in a precarious situation; now with an entire formation of advanced battleships, the Expeditionary Force had no means to fight back.
As Yao Suming received news about the jump point taking shape before him, he hesitated. Should he sacrifice all the lives of the Expeditionary Force just to secure this jump point's framework? Even if they did make that sacrifice, would it truly guarantee the preservation of this jump point?
At that moment, his aide approached Yao Suming with an update: "General, messages have come in from the Expeditionary Army, Third Army, Fifth Army, Seventh Army, and Ninth Army. They say they are all coming to support you and urge you to hold on as long as possible!"
Upon hearing this news, Yao Suming—who had been wavering—immediately felt invigorated. He called for a full assembly of his troops and began a pre-battle mobilization: "All warriors of the Expeditionary Force! As long as we in Yunmeng withstand Dongyang Ming's assault this time and give our researchers enough time to establish the jump point behind us, our Yunmeng Star System will fulfill its three-thousand-year wager and gain recognition from the Star Alliance. At that time, our Yunmeng Star System will be an independent entity and no longer just a wild star system that anyone can trample upon!"
"Now, the Expeditionary Army, Third Army, Fifth Army, Seventh Army, and Ninth Army are all on their way here. For the future of the Yunmeng Star System and for the countless people behind us in Yunmeng, we must vow to protect this jump point at all costs and buy enough time for reinforcements!"
"Fight to the end! Fight to the end!"
Seeing the enthusiastic response from his soldiers filled Yao Suming with courage. For the future of the Yunmeng Star System, even if they were to be shattered into pieces, so be it!
Soon after, the Expeditionary Force organized itself and set out to confront Dongyang Ming's fleet. At this moment, Hatu One had also completed communication with other warships and learned that the Expeditionary Force was engaging Dongyang's advanced fleet. Yao Zhengqi felt an overwhelming sense of worry within him.
Immediately, I ordered Hatu One to initiate a space jump and accelerate towards the breach to support Expeditionary Force One.
The starship pilot quickly responded, "Captain, Hatu One doesn't have enough energy to complete the space jump."
"Ask the starship if they have any energy to spare; see if we can borrow some!"
Space jumps are a feature exclusive to advanced starships, requiring high-grade energy sources. The Yunmeng Star System's official authority is weak, and even mining for energy within the system is done discreetly. They fear that if outsiders catch wind of it, they might come to seize it.
While low to mid-grade energy stones are somewhat manageable, news of high-grade energy stones would attract a swarm of outsiders. Therefore, the Yunmeng authorities have very little reserve of high-grade energy stones.
