Chapter 791: Phone Call
The sound of the mecha was very clear, and the people of Maple Leaf Mining could fully understand it.
It sounds strange that the language has not changed much in more than a thousand years?
In fact, in the interstellar era, all information is stored cheaply. Although the language has changed a little, the change is very small.
It is more about the addition of vocabulary and the change of some language habits, and the basic logic will not change much.
Therefore, they can fully understand this retro sound.
This discovery is no less shocking than the mecha knight boarding the ship.
"What... what should I do?"
The armed personnel holding the gunpowder gun in their hands are shaking.
In fact, he is an excellent airship operator, who can remotely control two airships through signals from the mothership to perform various extreme actions.
If he lowers it to basic attack, he can control a large team by himself.
But... melee is really not his forte!
Looking at the steel monster that is taller than two and a half of himself, and then looking at the broken guns in everyone's hands... I'd better throw it!
"We surrender, hoping to ensure our safety."
Very straightforward, they are not fighting against foreign races for the Federation, they are just working for capitalists, why risk their lives!
They didn't even ask for more, just to ensure their safety.
If the Federation fleet had captured them, they would definitely make various humanitarian requests, and even ask for a hot shower.
But facing a group of natives, it's better to be honest.
The mecha knight opened the hatch and the knight jumped out.
He did this not recklessly, but as a result of internal discussions.
The Great Xia Empire not only wants to destroy the enemy, but when it is proven that it has the ability to end the war, they will express a certain amount of goodwill and order as a bargaining chip to attract talents.
So, in order to change the stereotyped views of outsiders, he is willing to take a little risk.
After all, the extraordinary knight is not a person without power. If someone really has a crooked mind, then it's a wrong idea.
Sure enough, the armed personnel of Maple Leaf Mining were all stunned when they saw the knight in a fitted suit.
They think that this kind of mecha must have all kinds of high technology inside.
For example, remote control, or nutrition tank docking, at least there should be a brain-computer interface, right?
I didn't expect the other party to jump out directly like an ordinary person.
And through the open hatch, it seems that the operation of the equipment is very simple.
The knight walked straight to the few people with a medal on his chest.
The translator he carried with him made a sound: "On behalf of the great emperor of the Great Xia Empire and the Governor Simon of the Lunar Space Fleet, I accept your surrender."
"Great Xia... Empire???"
The armed personnel of Maple Leaf Mining had a very strange expression. Does the ancient name of the empire still exist?
At least they have come into contact with civilization, with federal, confederate, republican, and parliamentary systems, but the so-called emperor has long disappeared.
Even if there are still classes, at least there is no such a distinct name. Wouldn't such a naked name intensify the contradictions?
The surrendered people looked at each other, and some couldn't help but tighten their pistols.
It should be okay to shoot him so close?
After a complex psychological struggle, they gave up this tempting idea.
The situation is not good now. Even if the other party is killed, they will inevitably be captured. It will be miserable at that time.
"Maple Leaf Mining... We surrender."
Several people surrendered very honestly.
The knight smiled slightly. In fact, both sides have the same skin color, but their faces are slightly different.
"Your lives can be guaranteed, guaranteed by the great emperor." After the knight finished speaking, he turned on the communicator and called: "The obstacles here have been resolved. Five people surrender. Please hand over as soon as possible."
However, the mothership command center has been found in other directions and started to organize assaults.
"Wait a minute, we found the center and are launching an attack."
"The battle is over, the battle is over, we have captured all the commanders."
The command system of the mining mothership collapsed directly, and soon the radio also heard the voice of surrender.
The progress was unexpectedly fast. Several motherships were attacked at the same time and were occupied one after another.
It was so fast that Maple Leaf Mining felt like it was dreaming.
News about the ability of these natives to communicate also came.
Therefore, the Crazy Lion-class cruiser, which had just been adjusted, stopped again.
Everyone was waiting for Lin Jie to give orders.
They had never thought of communicating before. After all, there was no value in communicating with the natives who could be easily dealt with.
But now, the choice is very important.
Without giving Lin Jie time to continue hesitating, the spacecraft's communication system received a strange call request.
"It's the natives on the opposite side... the enemy."
The communicator reported nervously.
The observer had already cut into the picture of the fleet in the distance.
I saw that the spacecraft, which was just like a classic car, all burst into a terrifying speed.
What can be judged by the tail flame, what can be inferred from the engine The combat effectiveness is all bullshit.
Lin Jie has been sure that he has been set up.
This group of natives is just pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, but he can't figure it out. In just a thousand years... how can these natives develop faster than the Federation? This is not scientific at all.
But now, he must make a decision.
Is it to fight to the death with the other party with the family assets of Maple Leaf Mining, and then wait for bankruptcy, or to find a... peaceful solution?
At least from the current situation, Maple Leaf Mining has no chance to solve the problem alone.
If other forces or even the Federation are involved, the little profit will not be able to make up for the loss.
This is not much better than bankruptcy.
The call request has not stopped, and Lin Jie finally ordered: "Put it in."
He knew that his demeanor must be bad at this time, but he did not need to hide it, and it was meaningless to pretend to be calm.
Soon, a picture appeared on the screen in front of him.
Simon, dressed in military uniform, appeared on the screen. His expression was serious, and there were not many decorations on his body. The simple appearance was powerful.
"I am Simon, the Earl of the Great Xia Empire, the Knight of the North, and the Governor of the Moon Space Port. Please explain why you entered our territory without reason and took the initiative to attack. Otherwise, I will report to His Majesty the Emperor and apply for the Royal Fleet to launch a fatal attack on you."
Simon's serious face was not guilty at all when he cheated strategically, at least Lin Jie subconsciously believed it.
He had to accept a reality that the legacy left by his ancestors had become a bomb.
Although it was a bit fantastic that an unknown empire emerged in a short time, but... the reality was right in front of him.
He had to believe that this empire might have a huge fleet.
Lin Jie smiled bitterly, not hiding his disappointment: "Sorry, we are here to find the legacy of our ancestors. I think... we can communicate further to resolve the misunderstanding."
