Chapter 729 End
Sure enough, after dozens of seconds, the energy absorbed by the Imperial Fortress's dimensional armor had reached the upper limit of the energy it could absorb.
Looking at the flashing red alarm signal, Li Mingze decisively started the dimensional armor's abandonment program.
In an instant, the outer dimensional armor of the Fortress was cut into dozens of pieces and launched from the Imperial Fortress.
The dimensional armor launched from the Fortress had just entered the surrounding energy and instantly converted to a three-dimensional state because it reached its upper limit.
Dozens of extremely thick and huge metal blocks instantly appeared in the original place. Although any material can be made into dimensional armor, the higher the density and quality of the material, the more energy the manufactured dimensional armor absorbs, so the Empire basically uses the armor materials of battleships to manufacture dimensional armor.
If Li Mingze had not launched the dimensional armor just now, the dimensional armor that suddenly returned to the three-dimensional state could instantly squeeze and deform the outer shell of the Fortress. After all, its mass was too large, enough to be equivalent to the mass of ten Fortress battleships!
However, these metal blocks had been launched to the surroundings, and instead took on a lot of energy for the Fortress again.
As time passed, these metal blocks were gradually melted by energy into a pool of liquid and shot to the outer edge of the star system with the shock wave.
At this time, only two layers of thickened crystal armor were left to protect the Fortress.
The extremely high melting point and super density and hardness allowed this layer of crystal armor to withstand the terrifying energy released by the star explosion for a longer time.
However, even so, Li Mingze, who was hiding in the dormant chamber, could already hear the metal twisting sound coming from the huge body of the Fortress through the surrounding metal layers.
This is because some metals began to expand due to heat, exceeding the original structural limitations, but these are still within the tolerance range of the Fortress. After all, the thermal expansion of these metals was taken into account when it was designed.
However, the facts are often cruel. The outermost layer of crystals on the Fortress did not last too long before it began to reach the melting point.
These armors forged with crystals began to melt like candles, but fortunately this was only the first layer of crystal armor.
It's okay, just hold on for a while, and when the impact spreads to a larger and larger area, the energy density in the central area where they are located will decrease, and then the crisis will naturally be resolved! Li Mingze comforted himself like this.
However, the facts slapped him in the face again. After dozens of minutes, the first layer of the letter crystal armor had disappeared in the universe with the energy impact.
The second layer of the letter crystal armor had also melted to an extremely serious degree. It would not take long for this layer of the letter crystal armor to melt completely. At that time, the Fortress would be completely swallowed by the energy and become part of the universe.
A few minutes later, listening to the constant sound of metal tearing coming from the Fortress, Li Mingze was numb.
The outermost layer of the letter crystal armor was completely destroyed, and now there was only a layer of ordinary armor protecting the Fortress.
But this layer of armor was too useless. It had just been exposed to the energy rushing from the surroundings, and some places had been melted through.
The occasional explosions in the Fortress were caused by the cabins that were melted through.
Fortunately, the outer area of the Fortress had a good isolation mechanism, and these explosions had not yet spread completely.
Just when Li Mingze was about to give up the Fortress and planned to descend into the new clone again, the metal tearing sound of the Fortress suddenly stopped.
The occasional explosions from the Fortress gradually stopped.
"Has the energy shock passed?" Li Mingze looked at the floating panel in front of him with some doubts.
But the sensors used to monitor the changes in the external environment of the Fortress had just been dissolved, and now he could not receive any information and data from the outside.
"Tianyi, send me the pictures of each cabin inside the Fortress." Li Mingze shouted into the microphone beside him.
But what surprised him was that he did not receive a reply from Tianyi.
Helplessly, he could only use his mind to control the system to mobilize the video data.
Usually, Li Mingze was used to conveying orders to Tianyi, which made him somewhat unable to use the Empire system. It was too convenient to just tell Tianyi what he needed and he didn't need to search in the system himself.
But now that he had lost contact with Tianyi, he had to do it himself.
A few minutes later, the pictures of the facilities of various departments in the Fortress and the city appeared in his mind.
Looking at the city that fell into darkness and the relatively normal facilities, Li Mingze breathed a sigh of relief.
The most important antimatter storage facilities, reactors and safe houses of the Fortress were not damaged.
The only uncertainty now is the cabins on the outer layer of the Fortress. Now these cabins have lost contact with the main engine and look very dangerous.
"All maintenance robots start working, and the molecular robots immediately go to the damaged parts to fill the gaps!" Following Li Mingze's order, the maintenance robots in the Fortress immediately rushed from their warehouses to the damaged cabins.
At the same time, the molecular robots that can be shaped at will also came to the cabins that lost contact with the Empire through the pipeline.
According to the original design of this spacecraft, these molecular robots rushed into these cabins like a tide and began to repair them.
After the molecular robots rushed in, the other half of the cabin that had disappeared began to reappear. Soon, a cabin exactly the same as the original design appeared intact in the Fortress.
The maintenance robots came directly to the outside of the Fortress. Their maintenance nozzles directly printed out layers of armor, and many parts of the Fortress that were melted through were gradually reprinted with a layer of armor.
As the outer shell and outer cabin of the Fortress were gradually repaired, the interior of the Fortress was also re-supplied with energy.
Street lights were lit again, and the city inside the Fortress was restored to light.
After confirming that the external space was safe through the sensors of the maintenance robots, Li Mingze directly woke up the sleeping crew members.
One by one, the dormant chambers rose to the surface again, and at the same time, the semi-solid buffer isolation fluid turned into liquid again. The dormant chambers rose from them, and a large amount of liquid slid down the smooth outer shell of the dormant chamber into the pool.
As the metal plates on both sides closed to the middle, the upper layer of these pools was covered with a matte metal floor.
The crew members in the hibernation chamber rubbed their uncomfortable heads and crawled out of the chamber.
Some unlucky people were hiding in the safe chamber that happened to be located in the cabin destroyed by energy, and unfortunately they were transformed into the most basic elements along with those cabins.
