Chapter 376: Pirate's Feast (1)

It is very necessary to kill chickens and monkeys. On the one hand, it can calm the minds of those who are about to move, and on the other hand, it can also pave the way for Walton.

When a few people boarded the passenger shuttle, and the flight attendant brought a document for Tang Fang to sign, he couldn't help being stunned. How much did this little girl Tang Yun buy yesterday? The shipping fee alone was thousands of coins.

After asking Tang Lin about it, this girl actually spent all 100,000 star coins in one day.

Tang Fang originally planned to go to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, so as to teach this lavish little girl a good lesson, but he didn't want to turn his head to look, Zhou Ai and Tang Yun were chatting happily. She was still dressed as yesterday, with beautiful black silk legs and a neat short skirt. Looking from the front, she could faintly see a touch of black.

He felt that the past was inappropriate now, and it was a very serious matter to educate Tang Yun to be thrifty, and this kind of environment was inappropriate. Also, Zhou Ai, a girl, how could she board the plane wearing such revealing clothes? Didn't she notice the hot eyes of the old men around her?

"Hey, what kind of people are around me, and Claire is the most worry-free." Tang Fang sighed, turned his head to look at Claire, whose eyes had been flickering since we met in the morning, and dared not look directly at him, and whispered He muttered, "Grant, you bastard..."

...

About ten minutes later, the passenger shuttle was parked at the ship's wharf and passed through the entry-exit quarantine inspection area. After paying the berthing fee, several people boarded the Morning Star through the connecting channel.

He sent Tang Yun back to the room, and ordered Churchill to settle the odds and ends that Xiaonizi had bought. After Zhou Ai changed into a military uniform, Tang Fang and the second daughter came to the bridge.

He did not give the order to set sail immediately, but held a combat meeting with Nehemiah, Yuffie, and the pilot crew, informing them of the possible attack on the Morningstar, and notifying the crew to prepare psychologically . About half an hour later, the order was given to set off.

Grant sent a departure request to the ship terminal command center, and the Morning Star slowly sailed out. Flying along a specific flight path, slowly leaving the "Luojiya" jurisdiction.

at the same time. Tang Fang entered the core compartment of the universal force field generator, and switched the shield from the low-level plasma mode to the aurora mode driven by zero elements.

This kind of behavior of blocking roads and robbery can be said to be a major feature of Tianchao Star District. If it is a sovereign country like Monya and Charles, each star system has a government garrison, and piracy lacks a hotbed for development, and it is difficult to form a scale. Only forces like the Garcia Rebels can be under the nose of the government. Survive.

However. In Tianchao star area, due to political, social, geographical, war environment and other reasons,

Regardless of whether it is the Star Alliance, the Phoenix Empire, or the Silver Eagle Group, apart from the core economic and military areas, the central government has very weak control over some remote, disputed, and warring areas, as well as star systems controlled by large financial groups and stronghold forces.

Similarly, the light-year void between star systems is the paradise of those pirates, with the Star Alliance's stretched forces. 80% are devoted to the confrontation with the Phoenix Empire and the Silver Eagle Group in the "Sokanada Defense Line", and the remaining 20% ​​are generally used as guards in the core economic and military areas, and. It is also necessary to deal with some small actions of the stronghold forces, and it is impossible to effectively combat this kind of robbery.

What's more, some high-level members of the Star Alliance turned a blind eye to this, acquiescing to the existence of pirate forces.

The Tianchao star area is chaotic, but because it is backed by the treasure house of "Lost Land", it has gradually developed into the trade center of the Hillenbel region, gathering a large number of foreign business groups.

Most of the Star Alliance's official military power is used in the "Sokanada Line of Defense", and the annual military expenditure is almost equal to the fiscal revenue. Some sanctimonious Star Alliance executives beat the doctrine to the business groups of sovereign countries. Of course. Naturally, the Star Alliance military will not do it themselves, so as not to leave any excuses. Being caught by a sovereign state to launch an attack.

Pirates are different. The Star Alliance cannot be blamed for the crimes of these blood-licking guys who robbed passing business groups. So what if those sovereign nations accuse the Covenant of inaction? Who doesn't know that the Star Alliance, the Phoenix Empire, and the Silver Eagle Group have stationed most of their troops on the "Sokanada" defense line, and it's no wonder that they are so quick to take action against those tricky pirate forces.

On the other hand, there are more than a dozen sovereign countries in the Hillenbel Region, and there are conflicts with each other. No one dares to send troops to the Heavenly Nest easily, so as not to cause a chain reaction. Moreover, the sovereign nations don't want to push the Covenant into a hurry. If they quit and surrender to the Phoenix Empire, they will suffer. Therefore, it is best for Tianchao Star Region to maintain the current chaotic situation.

Some high-ranking officials of the Covenant Alliance have taken this into consideration and condoned piracy. Just like raising herds of beasts, let these pirates rob business groups, strengthen their own strength, and then grow step by step in the form of alliances and annexations. Next, the Star Alliance will select some of the larger forces, throw out olive branches, and secretly buy them off to deal with the stronghold forces that sovereign countries have placed in the Skynest star area.

Under the influence of the above-mentioned factors, such a wonderful social background in the Tianchao star area has been created over time. Due to the fact that the official crackdown on robbery is average and the cost of crime is low, not only small pirate organizations are rampant, but even some expedition teams occasionally act as robbers, and even large and medium-sized business groups will inevitably take risks as long as the interests are large. Do a business of killing and extorting goods.

Under normal circumstances, the actions of pirates mostly use the method of spy detection + scouts to step on the spot + main force to intercept. The so-called spies and investigations generally have two forms: one is that pirate members disguise themselves as passing passengers to spy on information at Xinggang and look for targets; Information to filter out the robbery target.

As for the scouting, scouting ships are used to travel a certain distance outside the star system, and according to the space environment, main routes, distribution of government checkpoints, etc., they release low-cost warp probes to spy on the ship's course.

The main force interception, as the name suggests, after the warp speed probe collects information such as the ship's course and warp speed level, the scout ship transmits the data to the pirate fleet, and the interceptor ship will set up a warp speed interception net on the route in front of the target ship, thereby forcing it Out of virtual time and space, and then carry out robbery.

To be honest, Tang Fang thought it was funny except for that. He was more or less excited. It was a good thing that he didn't trouble those pirates, but he didn't expect them to come up with their own ideas.

Changed the mode of operation of the shield. Tang Fang returned to the bridge, after a few minutes of low-curvature sailing. The Morningstar has arrived at the Covenant military interception net outside the "Jakartapur" star system.

The well-meaning customs department sent a reminder message, and the deep space probe sent a warning signal. There are suspicious ships wandering in the outer space of "Jakartapur". The Star Alliance reminds all merchants to pay attention. Keya” to avoid unnecessary losses.

Not to mention, a political model like the Star Alliance is much more civilized than an imperial country like Monya. Although politicians are not good things, parliamentary politics has done a good job in curbing the power of the upper class, and it is more humane and democratized in some areas.

Grant tactfully rejected the suggestion of the customs staff, but the immigration management team had no choice but to open the channel and let the Morning Star leave "Jakartapur".

With the injection of zero elemental energy, the warp speed system comes online, twisting the surrounding time and space, and constructing a warp force field. After that, the Morningstar flashed a few times. Turned into an afterimage and submerged into the virtual space.

What Tang Fang and others didn't know was that not long after the Morning Star disappeared, an order was issued from the "Jakartapur" military headquarters to the edge interception network. Then, the entire border defense system was in turmoil.

...

On the other side, Tang Fang had already returned to the bridge. According to the established route, the morning star leaps from the "Jakartapur" star system to the "Babylon" star system more than 20 light-years away at a warp speed level of 6.5.

Under normal circumstances, this process will last for half a month. However, the crew members knew well that there might have been an ambush ahead. But I don't know where those pirate groups will start.

If it was an ordinary business group, after learning that they were being targeted. It is inevitable to have negative emotions such as fear and fear. But on the Morning Star, the crew still went their own way. No worries at all. From their point of view, those poor fellows dared to take the idea of ​​the Morningstar because they were tired of living and killed themselves.

Who is the captain? That is simply the ancestor of the thief, the patriarch of the family of the thief, where can't he get some benefits along the way? Do some damage? Those aristocratic forces in the Monya Empire are playing around with him, and some pirates are so blind. Do you really think that the Morning Star is a soft persimmon?

In the past, a lightning python-class destroyer might not really be considered a big killer, but now, after being equipped with a shaped cannon, it is simply like Sun Houzi got the Dinghaishen needle iron, bombarded it, and held some Just die, knock a little bit and die, suffer from scratches, scratches and tendons.

"If you don't do it, you won't die, these 2b things." These are the two sentences that the chief cook chanted the most today.

The Morning Star was speeding forward in the virtual space. After 10 hours, according to the mileage displayed by the computer, it had already left the "Jakartapur" star system by nearly 0.7 light-years.

Tang Fang sat in the captain's seat and took a nap with half-closed eyes. Claire and Zhou Ai had already returned to their room to rest. Nehemiah was also persuaded by Tang Fang to go back to the room. Only him, Grant, and Yuffie were left on the bridge. Several crew members, as well as Howson and Churchill.

These two rams are more energetic than everyone else, saying that this is the maiden shot of the main gun of the Morning Star, and the shaped cannon is like the son of the two of them, how can they be absent at this time.

"Whose son have you ever seen get married, and don't say it when I'm making trouble in the bridal chamber, but still insist on not leaving, and insist on listening to it?" This is Tang Fang's complaint.

The two ignored this sentence in a very tacit understanding. The captain who lacked sleep had a standard temper and was impatient, so they both got down.

After driving safely like this for a period of time, when Tang Fang finished eating the hand-rolled noodles sent by Claire, and fell asleep on the sofa, Yuffie, the ship officer in front of the combat command platform, suddenly turned around and said: "ship Long, the curvature field is in disorder, the space-time bubble encounters external high pressure, and the Morning Star is expected to leave the virtual space in 3 seconds."

"Are you here..." Tang Fang opened his eyes all of a sudden, and Grant woke up from his coma beside him.

At the same time, the warning function of the navigation system was activated, and the rotating red light illuminated the faces of everyone on the bridge.

3 seconds passed in the blink of an eye, the warp force field constructed by the warp drive was disturbed by external forces, the space-time bubbles were broken, and the recoil force acted on the hull. The entire ship's electrical circuit forms a pulse storm. More than 60% of the electronic equipment of the ship is overloaded.

The lights on the bridge flickered, the star map projection in the center of the combat command platform shook violently, and the displays related to some ship function modules were covered in snowflakes.

The driving team and others got busy nervously. While detecting the damage to the ship's electrical equipment, the two "Cupids" and the maintenance team were notified to rush to the corresponding location. While correcting the navigation parameters, try to stabilize the spacecraft.

Compared with them, Howson and Churchill were full of excitement, their four eyes were fixed on the dark central screen, gearing up, just waiting for those thieves who didn't open their eyes to appear.

This scene is difficult to say, but in fact it only takes a few seconds, as the time-space bubble surrounding the hull collapses. A silver light flashed carelessly on the surface of the Morning Star.

In the vast universe, a stream of light suddenly flashed somewhere that was originally empty, and in the blink of an eye, the 200-meter hull of the Morning Star appeared very abruptly in the dark deep space.

Under normal conditions, the viewing cabin directly in front of the Morning Star hull, as well as the left and right side windows should be brightly lit, but now, they are flickering and flickering, on and off.

Nearly 100 kilometers ahead of the Morning Star, 18 warships surrounded them in four directions.

Warships are divided into four classes, the smallest being less than 100 meters. There are 6 ships in total, 8 ships over 100 meters, and 3 ships over 200 meters. And a cruiser of about 300 meters.

The combination of these 18 ships is very wonderful, all kinds, frigates, destroyers, reconnaissance ships, interceptors, fast landing ships, although the sparrows are small, they have all internal organs.

Not only that, but the patterns are even more complicated and varied, including the Longsword-class frigates and Scimitar-class interceptors of the Covenant, the Snake-class assault boats of the Charles Federation, and the Dragonfly-class reconnaissance ships of the Dolanx Republic. besides. Tang Fang also saw an old friend, the Tiger Shark destroyer from the Monya Empire.

Almost all of these official warships have been modified to varying degrees. For example, the tiger shark-class destroyers of the Monya Empire have different colors on the surface, and many places are uneven. There are also large and small patches on some craters. This made Tang Fang dumbfounded, how many bags of elders would he get if he wanted to take it to the Beggars' Gang?

It’s okay to say that it’s just like this, after all, they are pirates, they don’t have the financial resources and material resources of the Star Alliance, and the maintenance level is not up to standard, so they can only make do with it, but...but what happened to the modification of those civilian-class ships? Obviously it is a mining ship, or an outdated model, do you really think that you can use it as a battleship by installing two howitzers or a few simple torpedo launchers? This shit is definitely less reliable than Mr. Dong Guo.

Besides, the largest cruiser looks exactly like the Sea Lion-class cruiser of the Sulu Empire in appearance, but it is a scrap product with no shape but no spirit. There is no bow heavy artillery, nor is there a heavy cruise missile system. The td imposing 330-meter cruiser was equipped with a set of rail guns by these pirates.

What do you call this? The toothpick root of this proper iron tower is really dumbfounding.

Looking at the 18 high-spirited pirate fleets on the monitor array in front of them, rushing towards the Morning Star like bandits robbing their wives, Tang Fang couldn't help but a wry smile, which reminded him of some old movies from the 80s.

When the wicked capitalists get off the bus, they will always attract a crowd of beggars. Tang Fang felt that he was the capitalist, and the pirates around him were naturally a group of beggars.

"Captain, the maintenance team sent a communication, the weapon system has been repaired." At this moment, Yuffie turned back to report the progress of the maintenance.

"Don't worry, let's see what those people say." Tang Fang glanced at the connection request on the big screen in front of him, and said lightly.

"Yes." Yuffie agreed, and then clicked the confirmation button.

A figure flashed on the big screen of the bridge, and a 40-year-old Indian man with dark complexion and a light blue turban on his forehead appeared in front of Tang Fang.

"Are you the captain?" The man looked at Tang Fang carefully with a scrutinizing gaze, and said expressionlessly.

"good."

"Open the docking cabin immediately, and surrender!" the man ordered in an extremely blunt tone.

Tang Fang felt that he was too serious and not fun, so he turned his head to look at Grant, put on a frightened expression, and stammered, "You... who are you?"

"Us?" The man was very satisfied with his performance, and said proudly: "Who... Hehe, it scares you to death when you say it, have you heard of 'Garuda'? Have you heard of Khan? That's us!"

Tang Fang almost burst out laughing, his feelings are a shriveled little boy who can shine brightly with just a little sunshine, just this crooked melon cracked date 18 broken boats, and he is still named Xinghe?

"It turns out to be Radu Khan, the leader of the pirate group "Garuda" who is famous in Xinghe. He has been admiring him for a long time." This guy has always had a bad stomach, and he will inevitably try to play a prank when he meets Captain Ah San.

At the same time, it was refitted from the Sea Lion-class cruiser of the Sulu Empire, and was named the Jinpeng by Radu Khan as the flagship bridge of the "Galuda" pirate group.

The leader of the regiment Ah San was shaking his thick eyebrows, enjoying the flattery of the crew members with an arrogant expression on his face.

"Long live the leader, 'Galuda' Wu Yun is prosperous..."

"Long live the leader, 'Galuda' Wu Yun is prosperous..."

Radu Khan squinted his eyes with a look of complacency. The "Garuda" family is not the only ones who are eyeing this piece of fat. After Silgay made that incident, many pirate forces got the news, and even some explorer teams are ready to move, wanting to grab a piece of it. ticket. (to be continued)
