Chapter 135.2 Success
Editor: Jodi
Sima Ming Xuan paid no attention to the Yan family trio behind him. Instead, he looked at Yan Hao in the video with complex emotions. He still couldn’t understand why Yan Hao hadn’t left. If, in the beginning, Yan Hao had hoped to repair the warship with a sense of optimism, then he should have left Z Star Planet the moment it was confirmed that the pulse magnetic chip was damaged. He believed that if Yan Hao had wanted to leave, Cong Yi wouldn’t have forced him to stay.
Just then, in the livestream, Yan Hao, who had been manipulating tools with his head down, finally moved. Lifting his head, he shouted something to Cong Yi on the opposite side. However because the livestream was on mute, they couldn’t hear what he had said, but his words were brief, only a few, and with a little attention, they could understand.
[Senior brother, it’s done.]
Z Star Planet’s Consul, Winston had been monitoring Yan Hao’s progress closely. At the beginning, he had been afraid that Yan Hao would say something during the livestream that would disrupt the fragile stability of Z Star Planet. However when he saw that he had finally completed the chip, he immediately disabled the mute mode and immediately, Yan Hao’s voice echoed throughout Z Star Planet and all the places where the livestream was being watched.
“I’m going to repair the energy system. Senior brother, please tell the warship’s pilot to target the black hole.” Then after saying this, Yan Hao turned and rushed out.
The chip was ready, but he still needed to install it.
In fact, there was no need for Cong Yi to notify anyone. Having already heard Yan Hao’s words through the livestream half an hour ago, the pilot in the cockpit had already piloted the warship to the designated location and aimed the space cannon at the black hole. As long as Yan Hao installed the chip, the charging up would only take one minute.
“Going to check the energy.” The pilot’s palms were sweaty. In reality, he had already had the energy checked on both sides, but he couldn’t help but feel anxious. This cannon wasn’t just a matter of life and death for him; it was also the fate of billions of people behind him.
The moment Yan Hao left the maintenance room, the livestream immediately switched to the view inside the cockpit, and once again, the despairing population was revitalized by this turn of events as they watched the livestream with bated breath.
The Tianhe One warship wasn’t large, hence the maintenance room wasn’t far from the lower compartment, so with Yan Hao sprinting at full speed, it took him only twenty seconds to reach it. The metal casing of the power system hadn’t been reattached after it had been removed earlier, saving Yan Hao a lot of time.
Crouching down, he lifted the wires covering a thumb-sized slot carefully, then he inserted the chip into it with a delicate touch. The first chip he inserted was the original one, and then he picked up another one, one that was smaller than the first, almost the size of a grain of rice and inserted it as well. This tiny chip was the part that he had spent eight hours making to replace the burnt section.
“Little junior brother.” Cong Yi also arrived at this moment. He looked at the chips that had already been placed inside, then turned to look at Yan Hao.
There were only three minutes left, and it would take one more minute for the charging up, which meant Yan Hao had just two minutes left.
“Senior brother, when I say start, ask the control room to activate the space cannon.” Yan Hao told him.
“Alright.” Cong Yi nodded, surprisingly calm at this moment.
Then taking a deep breath, Yan Hao closed his eyes, and his mental energy surged from his sea of consciousness, quickly enveloping the pulse magnetic chip. When he’d been making the chip, he had already marked it with his mental energy in order to be able to quickly and accurately complete the connecting of the various interfaces.
Replacing electronic components with mental energy for connections was theoretically feasible, however Yan Hao had never done it before, and so was a bit anxious. However, time was of the essence. The space cannon needed one minute to charge, which meant he had to maintain the connection for a full minute. His mental energy was only at the A level, but he had no time to calculate. All he could do was inject all of his mental energy into it.
If only Senior were here. His mental energy was S level, so there would definitely be no problem.
In the very end, Yan Hao thought of Sheng Heng. He knew that only by overcoming this challenge would he be able to see Sheng Heng again.
“Senior brother.” Yan Hao shouted.
Cong Yi understood what to do immediately, as he sent a command to the control room, and the warship’s pilot had been waiting for this moment, because his hand hovering over the button fell immediately.
“Charging up started.” A cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded, however it ignited hope throughout the entire planet.
“Ten percent…”
“Twenty percent…”
…
“Eighty percent…”
The mechanical voice continued to report on the energy reserve of the space cannon. Soon, it reached eighty percent.
In the lower compartment, Yan Hao let out a muffled groan. His body was drenched in sweat, his face as pale as paper, and he looked as if he would die at any moment. If Cong Yi hadn’t witnessed this with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that a person could sweat so much in less than a minute.
He wanted to ask, “Little junior brother, how are you doing?” but was afraid of interrupting Yan Hao at this critical moment, so he could only stand by, watching anxiously.
At this moment, the livestream was divided into three sections. One showed the steadily expanding and stabilizing spatial black hole outside, another displayed the continuous energy charging notifications inside the control room, and the third showed Yan Hao crouched beside the power system, his face pale.
“Ninety percent…”
As the energy charging notifications continued, Yan Hao seemed unable to hold back any longer as he let out a scream, “Ah!!!”
With this cry filled with endurance and pain, the space cannon finally completed its charging.
“Energy charging up complete, fire!”
With a thunderous roar, a dazzling energy beam, as if it could tear through the starry sky, shot towards the spatial black hole, then it vanished immediately, and then the spatial black hole began to tremble and distort, sucking everything around it, including the zergs that had flown out, back inside, and those things had just reached the edge of the black hole before the immense gravity occurred were torn into pieces.
Finally, the spatial black hole couldn’t hold on any longer, and after a violent tremor, it exploded with a bright white light, dissolving into nothingness.
Then the world fell silent, until…..
“Little junior brother!” Cong Yi’s shout echoed throughout.
Causing everyone who had been drawn in by the explosion to finally notice that in one of the livestream frames, the young hero who had just saved them, was falling down slowly.

Thanks for the chapter! Can you imagine this scene in a drama? Great, right
I’d love to see it in a manhua or one of those 3D danmei animations. I’d be be gasping at the TV just how I’m bitting my nails while scrolling on my device
