One Thousand Three Hundred and One Lost the Target

Gunshots exploded, and Ye Han stood up suddenly. The magnetic shoes nailed his feet firmly to the ground, but without gravity, it was difficult to maintain true balance even with his feet fixed on the ground. His body shook several times before it stabilized because of excessive force.

The jumping muzzle and shooting flames can be seen in several small windows on the main screen. Every flicker of the gun flame can make the screen white, and the target cannot be seen clearly.

Those windows where gun flames cannot be seen are all mechanical spiders, and they are not near the A5 cabin.

Ye Han wanted to ask Luo Qi what happened, but he knew better that it was best not to interfere with the command and combat in front at this critical moment.

The gunshots lasted only two or three seconds, and Luo Qi's roar came from the communication: "Stop shooting, stop shooting--"

The gun flames in several small windows dissipated, leaving only the gun barrels pointing to the A5 cabin. The images on those screens showed a faint gray, but they soon dissipated.

Ye Han finally saw the situation ahead clearly. Several soldiers were still surrounding the hatch. Not only did the shadow disappear, but the mechanical spider that had entered the A5 cabin also disappeared. Only a thin mechanical leg was left hanging in the air, slowly floating to the side.

"Did it hit?" Luo Qi's voice came again.

"I don't know."

"It seems not."

"It seems to have hit."

The answers of several soldiers were completely different. Luo Qi couldn't help but feel a pain in his balls. Then his eyes focused and saw a few inconspicuous black dots slowly drifting near the mechanical leg.

Luo Qi walked over a few steps, stretched out his finger and touched it. One of the black dots hit his fingertips and bounced off gently.

He stretched out his finger and pinched the black dot, brought it close to his eyes and took a closer look, and immediately raised his head: "It's blood. Who saw where it escaped?"

"Inside!" A soldier pointed to the cabin without hesitation.

"Are you sure?" Luo Qi tightened his rifle again.

"Sure." The soldier said, and after thinking for a while, he explained, "I didn't see where it was, but I saw that he knocked the shelf crooked."

Luo Qi looked in the direction the soldier pointed, and there was indeed a twisted beam of the shelf inside. Judging from the arc of the twisted beam, it really looked like something had hit it.

At first glance, it seemed that the unknown target was very strong and could knock a hole in the steel frame with just a casual collision, but in fact it was not the case at all.

This situation did not occur because the target was too strong, but because the steel frame was too fragile, and the reasons were quite complicated.

To put it simply, first, there is no gravity in space, so the shelf and the robotic arm do not need to be made too strong, as long as they can achieve the purpose of fixing objects.

Second, the manufacturing level of human beings is there, the power of the propeller is so high, the heavier the warship, the lower the acceleration of the warship, so when designing the warship, they try every means to reduce the weight.

No one dared to touch the armor, keel and various load-bearing structures, so the designer turned his attention to other directions, making the steel frame lighter and thinner, which can reduce a lot of quality.

If the steel frame in the warship is placed on the earth, and various spare parts are placed on it, the weight of the parts themselves can cause the frame to be twisted and deformed, so the target's collision can prove nothing.

But the twisted steel frame left Luo Qi a clue. He visually estimated the size of the twisted part and immediately made a rough judgment on the size of the target: "Bridge, the target should not be large, but it is very fast. We have lost the target. Can you see it?"

Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair: "We can't see it either, He Lu?"

"Maybe in the corner on the right." He Lu said.

The target just broke into the detection range. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for He Lu to determine the approximate position of the target.

"Did you hear it?" Ye Han asked.

"Got it!" Luo Qi reeled in the line and pointed to the right side of the A5 cabin, "The corner over there, release the spider!"

Several mechanical spiders immediately ran into the cabin door, some bravely went straight and some went diagonally and roundabout, approaching the corner from several different directions.

In the passage outside the cabin door, several warriors who controlled the spiders were concentrating,

fearing that they would miss something accidentally.

Ye Han in the bridge had the same expression, his eyes kept moving on the screen, looking for the target's shadow everywhere.

The spiders crawled into the A5 cabin, and the towering legs looked like a forest. They passed through the forest of shelves from all directions, and the corner hidden deep in the cabin finally appeared in front of the camera.

However, there was no shadow of the target in the corner, and Luo Qi's voice came from the radio immediately: "Expand the search range, release a few more spiders, and make sure there are no blind spots!"

The soldiers did as they were told, and a few more spiders were released. After they dispersed, they conducted a carpet search in the A5 cabin.

Seven or eight spiders quickly walked through the A5 cabin, and strictly followed Luo Qi's instructions, leaving no blind spots, but they didn't find the target until the end. They only found an inconspicuous hole in the deep corner of the cabin.

After receiving the report, Luo Qi was in a state of panic and quickly said, "Group One, follow me in, Group Two, stay alert!"

Seven or eight soldiers filed in and quickly took control of cabin A5. Luo Qi waved his arms, pushed aside the parts blocking the way, and walked all the way to the corner of the cabin, finally seeing the hole on the bulkhead with his own eyes.

Luo Qi leaned over to take a look, and immediately said on the radio, "Bridge, the target should have come in from this hole!"

Ye Han said, "I can't see clearly here, why do I feel that this hole is like a high-temperature melt?

Luo Qi said: "It is quite similar, but I think it is more like a strong acid burning." As he said that, he grabbed a floating part and poked it at the edge of the hole.

The edge of the hole did not change, and the parts were not abnormal.

Luo Qi then leaned over to the hole and looked: "Bridge, the target should have gone to the next door. Can you see the situation next door?"

He Lu said: "I can't see it. There is only a detector in the A5 cabin in the entire A area that can be used."

Luo Qi pondered for a moment: "Commander, I suggest that we immediately close the A area and search each cabin until we find the target!"

Ye Han said: "Okay, He Lu, can the gate be closed?"

He Lu said: "It is impossible to close the A area, but the gate of the B area is fine, and the two areas can be closed together."

"Then seal the A area and the B area together." Ye Han said, "Luo Qi, your task is not only to find the target, this thing came in a strange way, and you have to find a way to figure out how it got in."

"Don't worry, I understand!"

"Okay, let's do it!" Ye Han said.

He Lu immediately said: "Seal off area B, close gates B4 to B9...lock the gates, seal off area B!"

After hearing this, Luo Qi immediately turned around and shouted: "Team leader, you take the first team and stay here. Follow my orders to release the spiders. Everyone else follow me!"
