With a deafening roar, the entire starship shook violently three times. Fortunately, only a portion of the shell struck the starship, and it was not completely destroyed. At this critical moment, Yao Zhengqi finally logged into the starship and adjusted its position according to Lin Yao's coordinates, allowing the defense shield to activate just in time.
Realizing he was still alive, Yao Beiluo hurriedly released Lin Yao without even glancing at her. "Shouldn't we get back to calculating?" he asked anxiously. As he looked around nervously, he failed to notice the fleeting smile that crossed Lin Yao's face.
"Yes, but this time we need to adjust our strategy," she replied.
"What strategy?" he questioned.
"We can't just keep passively taking hits. I see you've become quite adept at calculations; I believe you can handle it alone. I just had some thoughts on the attack matrix. Once I summarize them, we'll be able to give the Eastern Ocean Starship a taste of their own medicine!"
"You go ahead with the calculations; I'll handle things here!"
The advantages of high brain domain development were evident at this moment. Especially for someone like Lin Yao, the more pressure she faced, the sharper her mind became.
Over the five days, the Eastern Ocean Starship tried every possible method but failed to strike at the jump point. They had no choice but to adjust their strategy and attack other facilities instead. Yunmeng had anticipated this situation and had already moved other non-combat starships away to hide at a distance.
The Eastern Ocean Starship could only destroy a military base and surrounding facilities built around the jump point. They frantically demolished the nearby installations while Yunmeng's nine starships remained steadfast, tightly guarding the jump point.
During these five days, they also discovered that the culprit behind the starship's troubles was actually Tang Yunting. After being removed from his position as a general of the second army, due to his family's police background, he was not completely dismissed but rather reassigned to the seventh army as a logistics officer.
The drastic shift from general to logistics officer created a significant psychological gap for Tang Yunting, leading him to harbor resentment. As a professional starship pilot with a prestigious family name, he was placed on a starship during the seventh army selection process.
Little did he know that he would be incited by an undercover agent from Eastern Ocean and directly defect, almost leading to the destruction of Yunmeng's jump point.
After capturing him, Yao Zhengqi could only temporarily bind Tang Yunting due to the special circumstances, leaving his fate undecided for now. After enduring five days of intense confrontation with their opponents, Lin Yao finally emerged from her research on the attack matrix and announced that they could begin their counterattack.
Using another starship and adjusting its position according to coordinates, they collectively launched an assault against the Eastern Ocean Starship.
The Eastern Starship initially dismissed the threat, believing that the ordinary Yunmeng starships could never breach their defensive shield. However, they soon realized something was amiss. After just two rounds of attacks, the borrowed satellite-class starship's shield shattered in an instant. Seizing the opportunity, Hatu One launched a relentless assault on the Eastern Starship, forcing them to retreat in disgrace.
At that moment, representatives from the Galactic Alliance finally arrived, compelling them to halt their attacks. The Galactic Alliance had originally been intended to pressure the Eastern forces, but unexpectedly ended up saving them instead. Nonetheless, the outcome wasn't entirely negative; at least the Galactic Alliance had taken a relatively fair stance, driving the Eastern forces away and preparing to stay and witness the completion of the jump point.
With the presence of the Galactic Alliance and no further disturbances from the East, Yunmeng could focus on constructing the jump point without any worries. After months of effort, they finally completed the jump point construction. They were ready to attempt their first jump tomorrow; if successful, Yunmeng would be recognized as a true interstellar civilization.
When the time for the inaugural jump arrived, many gathered to witness the event. Attendees included officials from Yunmeng, members of the Galactic Alliance, representatives from civilizations that had relations with Yunmeng, and even delegates from other civilizations.
After the announcement by the lead official declaring the start of the first jump, a Yunmeng starship entered the jump point and awaited its turn. Technical personnel input coordinates while Academician Zheng personally stepped forward to press the activation button. To everyone's surprise, after pressing it, the starship did not initiate its jump; there was no response from the entire jump process.
Onlookers from other star systems noticed something was wrong and erupted in confusion. "Didn’t they say it was built? Why isn’t it moving?" Some began to speculate whether they had overestimated their capabilities. "I mean, in a backward place like Yunmeng, being able to establish a jump point is truly unbelievable!"
Indeed, it seemed that Yunmeng was still not up to par! Some who had less favorable relations with Yunmeng even took pleasure in their misfortune and began to criticize.
However, Academician Zheng remained composed. After pressing the button twice with no response, he immediately led his technical team to conduct a thorough inspection. As they worked through their checks, Yunmeng's lead official stepped forward: "Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for this inconvenience; our jump equipment is experiencing a minor issue at the moment. Please bear with us!"
The petty thugs were all just minor players, maintaining a facade of decorum and politeness in public. After conducting a thorough inspection, Academician Zheng discovered that the problem actually lay with the energy source of the transition point. This transition point energy was unique, unlike any existing energy in the galaxy, and now it had inexplicably vanished.
When Lin Yao heard the news, Yao Zhengqi had already been dispatched with a special operations team to capture the thieves. However, Lin Yao found it strange that there was no substitute for whatever energy was used at the transition point.
Taking advantage of a lull in the search, Lin Yao asked Academician Zheng what kind of energy was used at the transition point. On the surface, Academician Zheng appeared calm, but internally he felt a bit anxious. Upon hearing Lin Yao's question, he softened his tone and replied, "That energy is the blue-glowing stone you once gave me."
"The blue-glowing stone! You mean the Star Source Crystal?" Lin Yao exclaimed.
"Yes!" Academician Zheng nodded firmly. "In interstellar travel, transition energy is usually extracted from high-grade energy stones. Our Yunmeng lacks this technology and can only look for alternatives. Ultimately, we found that the blue-glowing stone you provided has sufficient energy and is suitable for temporarily replenishing the transition point's energy."
While the technology for energy extraction could be researched later, constructing the transition point was an urgent matter. Upon hearing this, Lin Yao felt a sense of relief. If it were any other type of energy, she wouldn't have been able to help, but she had a large piece of Star Source Crystal.
Taking out the Star Source Crystal from her system space, Lin Yao discreetly placed it in Academician Zheng's hand.
Academician Zheng's eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of such a large Star Source Crystal. "What is this?"
Lin Yao shushed him softly and said in a low voice, "I obtained this by chance. Please take it and use it for the initial transition."
