Starships were bulky and heavy, so rarely able to put up any resistance when they were attacked, they would usually just tank the projectiles and fire back at them. However, the starship in front of them was almost as agile as a mecha. What the hell was it? Why was it able to move so quickly?
Boom! The main cannon of the starship was fired. The imperial operators didn’t expect the Jialan Ship to launch its cannon so quickly. There was only a short distance between them so two of the imperial operators didn’t react in time and got devoured by the beam.
Two explosions were heard. When the beam disappeared, two black balls were seen where two mechas previously stood.
The other mecha operators from Twilight knew that their comrades were dead. There was no way they could escape.
“Damn it!” The mecha operators from Twilight were infuriated. They thought that they could destroy the three starships easily but instead, they were the ones on the losing end now. They even lost two comrades almost instantly.
“Revenge! Take it down!” The imperial operators started hurling attacks at the Jialan Ship angrily. However, the Jialan Ship was always able to find a way to evade their attacks. Even if it couldn’t avoid some attacks, the beam shield would be activated at the right time to minimise the damage.
While the Jialan Ship was battling furiously with its enemies, the other two starships focused on escaping. They weren’t as agile as the Jialan Ship so they could only slowly evade the incoming projectiles. The speed of Destruction Devil was the fastest among all the starships. It might be slower than mechas but it had better stamina. The imperial operators were able to catch up with them but they would take some effort to stop them.
“Jialan is performing really well.” Meng Lan smiled in satisfaction as she observed the battle from the operations center on Base Nebula.
Meng Lan was the one who brought Jialan up. In human words, Jialan was like her daughter.
“Yes. Jialan is a smart girl. She is cooperating very well with Luo Chao.” Ling Lan was satisfied too.
“Hmph. I’ll take credit for that,” Little Four said proudly.
“Yes, you made the most contribution. You were the one who made my father busy for an entire month.” Ling Lan flicked Little Four’s forehead.
Jialan Ship was a Destruction Devil but it wasn’t just any normal Destruction Devil. Among the three Destruction Devils her father gave her, one of them was still lying in Base Nebula.
That’s right. The Jialan Ship that Luo Chao was controlling was secretly designed by Little Four. He wanted to give Boss the best birthday present. However, making a starship required a lot of time so by the time Little Four finished constructing it, it had already passed Ling Lan’s birthday.
But, Little Four still gave it to Ling Lan. Ling Lan scolded him when she received the present.
She was angry because there was no way she could explain the presence of the starship to the military. Even if she was the commander of an independent army, there was no way she could get her hands on a Destruction Devil. Destruction Devil was the secret of the military. Well, nothing was a secret to Little Four.
Fortunately, Little Four bought the shares of the company that manufactured the Destruction Devil a long time ago. However, the starships weren’t put up for sales yet at that time.
Little Four knew his mistake so he quickly deleted all the information about the Destruction Devil. In actual fact, some people tried to get information about the Destruction Devil through the company but Little Four stopped them just in time.
Ling Lan knew that she couldn’t use this starship but she was unwilling to let go of it. This starship was much more powerful than the Federation’s Destruction Devil. Hence, after much thinking, she decided to ask her father for help.
That was why Ling Xiao took three Destruction Devils and gave it to the Lingtian Independent Army. Many people were unhappy and jealous of Lingtian. However, the military felt that it was alright for the Lingtian Independent Army to have Destruction Devils. They should support an up and rising army.
Thus, Ling Lan managed to swap the Destruction Devil Little Four made for her with one of the Destruction Devils her father got her.
She was lucky that she had Little Four. Little Four allowed her to evade all the radar scannings from the satellites so that she was able to sneak the Jialan Ship into Base Nebula.
All in all, the Jialan Ship had a rough journey into her arms. Ling Lan was so worried about it that she didn’t sleep properly for a couple of months. If an error occurred in their plan, Ling Four’s hard work would be taken by someone else.
To her relief, everything ended properly. She warned Little Four that he mustn’t create such huge presents again as it was too hard to hide them.
Jialan was more advanced than Destruction Devil in terms of its operations.
This was the result of Little Four’s research on god-class mechas. He successfully installed the spiritual power control system on a starship.
Of course, in order to control the starship perfectly, the captain must be someone who had navigator talent and knew how to pilot a starship.
People with similar innate talents could control the starship too but no one knew what the result was. There was no data available to refer to. Plus, Ling Lan always wanted to hand the Jialan Ship to Luo Chao. There were no other better candidates in her mind. She knew that Luo Chao always wanted to become a starship commander so she wanted to fulfill her wish.
“The other two Destruction Devils seem inferior when you compare them with Jialan.” Li Lanfeng was always trying to appear in front of Ling Lan ever since that talk.
“If we want to improve Destruction Devil, we need to tackle the mainframe.” Ling Lan was unsatisfied with the other two starships after seeing the Jialan Ship’s performance.
“Shall we groom another Jialan?” Li Lanfeng knew what the Jialan Ship’s mainframe was. Were they able to create more mainframes like Meng Lan and Jialan?
