Ultra Scientist: I have a fear of insufficient firepower

When two armies confront each other, quantity and quality are both important factors in determining victory or defeat.

No matter how large the number is, a high-quality army can crush the enemy with its superior combat power, just like eight thousand iron pagodas can defeat an army of one hundred thousand.

But at the same time, no matter how high the quality is, the party with larger numbers can also be dragged into the abyss of exhaustion by using human wave tactics, just like 500,000 troops can trap 8,000 Iron Pagodas to death.

And when a certain delicate balance is reached between quantity and quality, the battlefield becomes a meat grinder.

Just like at this moment in the vast starry sky, countless mechanical wreckages are floating in the space. Sykes and Dark Gone are looking at each other. It seems calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents.

Although the combat power of Sykes' Fifth Fleet was high, its number was too small. After killing 300,000 enemies, a total of 60,000 enhanced Reggio Inodium units were completely wiped out, creating a brilliant record of one for five.

Although none of the 4,996 Univox tanks were destroyed, their energy consumption was too great. If the fighting continued, they would not last long before suffering damage.

This batch of Univos were made on an assembly line. They are not as abnormal as the hand-made Unit 1, but their combat power is still outstanding. With a number of nearly 5,000, they fought against the enemy's million-strong army and prevented them from making an inch of progress. They are quite awesome!

Seeing that he was unable to defeat the remaining 4,000 or so privately modified Dark Lopus on the opposite side, Dark Gone's face became more and more ugly.

More than 40% losses to the Second and Third Fleets were the limit he could bear.

If more than half of the troops were wiped out and even the enemy's origins were unclear, he would not be able to explain to Emperor Beria.

Thinking of this, he lost his elegance and yelled angrily: "Asshole, what's your name?!"

Sykes misunderstood and immediately responded, "What's your name again, bastard?!"

Dark Gone said angrily: "What the hell are you doing here? I said from the beginning that my name is Dark Gone! What's your name?!"

Sykes pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth: "I didn't yell, and you yelled again?!"

"You bastard!" Dark Gone realized that this guy was playing a trick on him, so he stopped hesitating and directly ordered 100,000 Regioinodes to self-destruct to cover the rear and then retreat.

"You bastard, don't run if you have the guts!" Sykes pretended to chase him.

Zero quickly flew forward and grabbed him: "Calm down, don't chase after a desperate enemy, be careful it's a trap!"

"Don't let me run into you again next time!" Seeing the Dark Gone Army retreating into the space vortex, Sykes took advantage of the situation and said to Zero: "How is your sixth brother, is he powerful?"

"Awesome, awesome, really awesome." Zero complimented, and then said: "We need to find the Shield of Paraji first, then we have a chance to defeat Belia."

"This is what you wanted to ask the pirates just now, what is the use of this thing?" Sykes asked curiously.

For some reason, when he heard the name "Shield of Paraji", he thought of the shield that drove Univos Unit 1 into the void of another dimension.

Damn it, if Unit 1 was there, would he have been forced into such a miserable state just now?

It's strange, although he had experience in rubbing it by hand, no matter how he copied it afterwards, he could not create an ultimate weapon as perfect as Unit 1.

Either the energy drive is not compatible, or the material toughness cannot withstand it, or there is simply an operation error.

It was as if Unit 1 was something he obtained by chance when he was in excellent condition and the right time and location were perfectly suited. It could not be replicated and there was only one!

"I heard from Xiaozhi that the Shield of Paraji has the power to protect the universe and will appear when the universe falls into despair!" explained Zero.

Hearing this, Sykes raised his eyebrows, and immediately pulled up a video clip, pointing at the horn-shaped shield that was shining brightly in the video and said, "Is that the Paraji Shield you mentioned?"

"Have you really encountered this thing?" Zero looked at the screen in surprise, then turned his head to look at the trembling Royal Spaceship in the distance and said: "Xiaozhi, come and take a look, is this the Shield of Paraji?"

Following Zero's gaze, Sexton's eyes were immediately attracted by a red horn-shaped gem on Xiaozhi's chest.

At the same time, inside the Royal Spaceship.

Xiaozhi stared at the horn-shaped shield in the picture for a long time, and finally said in confusion: "It looks very similar to what my father said, but I haven't seen it, so I don't know if it is true."

"It's okay. The Fire Warrior has already told me that the Shield of Paraji is on the Mirror Star. Why don't we go and take a look...Sykes, what are you going to do?"

As Zero was speaking in a relaxed manner, he suddenly discovered that Sykes, who had been beside him just now, had quietly run out of the Royal Spaceship at some point.

As the fifty-five-meter-tall, domineering Shura Armor approached, the ship's intelligent James Bert immediately issued a hasty warning: "Please leave this ship one thousand meters away, otherwise... otherwise... otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Sykes tilted his head.

"Otherwise... I beg you not to hurt Princess Emerana!" James knew that he could not resist the armored giant and could only make a humbly request.

At this time, Zero also rushed over and defended, "Don't be afraid, Sikes is not a bad guy, he is my partner who came from the Land of Light to destroy Belia!"

The simple Xiaozhi still remembered what Zero had said, and immediately retorted loudly: "Brother, didn't you say that Sykes is a big bad guy and that we can't believe everything he says?"

"Hey, kid?" Sykes was so angry that he slapped Cero's butt and asked, "Is this how you ruin my reputation outside?"

"Does your reputation need to be ruined?" Zero muttered softly, and then introduced to Sykes: "In order to reduce energy consumption, I became one with a human named Lan, and that child is Lan's younger brother Xiaozhi, and the one next to him is the second princess of the planet Esmeralda, Emerana."

Sykes nodded in understanding, and then looked at Xiaozhi: "Kid, can you show me your pendant?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of purple light appeared in front of Xiaozhi.

"Are you talking about the fragments of the Shield of Paraji?" Xiaozhi subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at Zero with an inquiring look. After seeing him nod slightly, he carefully took off the pendant and placed it on the purple light ball.

The moment the fragment came into contact with the purple light, Sykes scanned a strange yet familiar force.

That’s right, this is the shield fragment that knocked Unit 1 into the void of another dimension!

What made him even more excited was that this fragment contained extremely precious power of time and space!

You know, the space-time technology of the Kingdom of Light has been stagnant because of the lack of research samples of the power of space-time!

If he could break through the technical bottleneck through the power of time and space contained in this fragment, then what would Hikaru use to compete with him in this year's Star Badge selection?

Thinking of this, he could no longer hold back his desire to plunge into the world of scientific research. He turned around and said to the original owner of the fragment very seriously:

"Xiaozhi, you are going to the Mirror Star to find the Shield of Paraji, right? I will lead the fleet to escort you!"

After saying that, without giving Xiaozhi a chance to speak, he turned around and went back to the main ship.

Xiaozhi watched the fragments of the Paraji Shield moving away from him, and cried, "Brother, you are right, Sykes is a bad guy, he stole other people's things!"

Zero held his forehead helplessly: "Don't cry, Xiaozhi, he is a big bad guy, even if you don't give it to him, he will snatch it away."

"What a bandit! Is he really a trustworthy partner?" Princess Emerana condemned.

"Your Highness, for your safety, we can no longer continue to search for the Shield of Paraji with them." The ship's AI James Bert said seriously: "Xiaozhi, please get out."

"Eh?" Xiao Zhi said in panic, "Sister Emerana, are you really not going to go with us to find the Shield of Paraji?"

Emerana was a little hesitant. Subjectively, she wanted to go with them, but objectively, that person named Sykes was really dangerous...

Cero saw her hesitation and did not force her. He simply said, "Emerana, thank you very much for seeing me off during this time. If you don't want to go, then leave. But please don't misunderstand. Although Sykes is a bit rude, he is not really a bad guy."

"Okay, Zero, stop talking." Emerana smiled and said, "I'll go with you, otherwise the people of the second dimension won't let you in."

"Yeah! That's great!" Xiaozhi was so excited that he somersaulted on the spot.

"Your Highness, but..." The ship-borne intelligent James Bert wanted to dissuade him.

But Emerana said firmly: "I believe in Cero!"

"Oh." James Bert sighed, then started reluctantly and slowly flew to the mothership of the Fifth Fleet.

There was no way. What else could he do when he met such a simple and willful princess?
