target wreckage

Fang Mobei and a group of six people wore spacesuits and walked in the corridor in the wreckage of the Zeus. The soles of the spacesuits have magnetic induction. As long as they fit the soles, the soles will absorb the ground, making it easier for people to move.

"I didn't think so before, but now my head hurts when I look at these closed hatches." Blake said helplessly. In the past, when exploring a strange place, they would first send out detectors to explore and map before taking action. But now they One hatch after another had to be opened manually.

"Saihu, is there any way to access the main control system of the Zeus?" Fang Mobei said to Saihu while holding down the headset.

"The main control system on the Zeus is different from that on the Tiangong. I need to find the sub-system connection port."

"Generally, there will be a sub-system port in the inspection port." As he said that, Fang Mobei asked Blake and others to find the access port in order to connect to the main control system of the Zeus.

There were large and small debris floating in the entire corridor, as well as human corpses. The scene was horrific to watch.

"Everyone should pay attention to the emergency oxygen bottles and leftover spacesuits in the corridor. They are all marked in case of emergency," Gu Yiyi told everyone.

"Captain, I've seen several wrecks. The fractures in the hull don't look like damage caused by thermal weapons." As a mechanic, Qi Jingyu clearly knows what damage caused by thermal weapons looks like. After checking several Some problems were discovered after finding the wreckage of the ship.

"Impossible, it's not a thermal weapon. Could it be that it was torn and chopped?" Blake laughed. Obviously he didn't believe Qi Jingyu's discovery. After all, such a strong and huge ship as the Zeus cannot be broken into pieces except for thermal weapons. .

Qi Jingyu thought for a while and then said, "First of all, look at the fragmented wreckage everywhere in this star field, large and small, as if they have been dismembered. If it is a thermal weapon, neither artillery fire nor laser can create such a Big damage”

"What if it's similar to a nuclear bomb? What if the enemy also has some kind of doomsday bomb?" Black retorted.

"If it were a weapon like a nuclear bomb, it would be even less likely that such a huge wreckage would still exist," Qi Jingyu explained.

Qi Jingyu's explanation made Blake speechless for a moment, and Fang Mobei and others also fell into deep thought because of Qi Jingyu's explanation.

"Based on your experience, what do you think caused the destruction of Zeus?" Fang Mobei asked.

"I can't imagine" Qi Jingyu frowned and shook his head, "It's like being bitten by a huge monster."

"How big a behemoth can it be that can tear Zeus apart like a prey?" Mina asked tentatively, "Is it possible that there really is a cosmic behemoth the size of a planet?"

Mina's shocking words made Fang Mobei and others speechless, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely quiet.

"Have you brought our GT-2 mecha?" Blake asked Qi Jingyu.

"How can you fit 6 mechas!" Qi Jingyu rolled his eyes at Black. "Besides, even if you put on a mecha, can you still perform well in front of such a giant beast?"

"Found it! This should be the sub-system entrance," Gu Yiyi said after opening the valve at the top of the corridor.

"That should be it," Fang Mobei affirmed after looking at the densely arranged electrical boards and chips in the inspection port.

Saihu connected to the sub-system socket through the connector on the space suit. After a period of deciphering, 30% of the main control system of Zeus has been controlled by Saihu. The remaining 70% was controlled by Saihu due to permission and encryption issues. Tiger cannot crack it.

Saihu continued to download relevant data about the war on the Zeus, and some residual pictures appeared on Fang Mobei's screen from time to time. Fang Mobei looked at the war videos and pictures displayed on the screen, and he felt scalped. Numbness, unprecedented fear made his whole body weak, and he even felt helpless to resist.

"What did you see?" Gu Yiyi felt Fang Mobei's fear and asked worriedly.

"Qi Jingyu is right," Fang Mobei said with a heavy face, "This

It was a massacre, yes, a massacre! ".

Nanmen ship command room

"Report to Captain, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft sent by the exploration team has detected the opponent's warship."

"Warships? How many are there? Are they hostile?"

"Three enemy ships are heading towards the Nanmen ship"

Just when the adjutant reported to Xue Gushan, the Nanmen ship sounded the battle alarm, and everyone entered the first level of combat readiness. The command podium immediately projected three red dots, and the three red dots headed straight towards the Nanmen ship. Come, the driving speed is not very fast.

"The entire ship's right rudder is fully loaded, enter the debris group and adopt an evasive attitude. Notify Mars and dispatch all unmanned combat aircraft to intercept." Xue Gushan, as the chief of staff of the air service regiment, of course knows very well how to respond to a war in the universe.

"The enemy ship still has one hour to arrive at the area where our ship is located," the adjutant reported from the side.

"All unmanned combat aircraft turn on the video screen. I need to see what the enemy ships look like." Xue Gushan supported the command platform with both hands and stared at the three moving red dots in front of her.

Binks hesitated and said, "Captain, I'm afraid Fang Mobei doesn't know the news yet. Do you want to inform them?"

"Adjutant, inform Fang Mobei of the situation here and let him decide what to do."

Based on Xue Gushan's considerations, she knew that eggs could not be put in one basket. When the enemy's information was still unknown, it was obviously not a wise move to involve Fang Mobei. Once there are catastrophic consequences here on the Nanmen Ship, Fang Mobei will be the last hope to bring everything here back to the Tiangong.

Just after Mars received the news from Xue Gushan, he immediately handed over the control of the 7 drones to the artificial intelligence, and he took the members of the two flying teams to control 15 drones to follow you. Twenty unmanned combat aircraft controlled by artificial intelligence set off from the Nanmen ship to the blocking point.

"It's still unclear what the three enemy warships look like, but we can develop a rough tactical plan." Mars looked sideways at the two team captains sitting on both sides and then continued, "Red Ghost, take your The team hid behind the wreckage at the 8 o'clock position and waited for the opportunity; after 20 drones broke through the enemy ship's protection, the fox entered again and waited for an opportunity to drop anti-matter bombs. The anti-matter bombs would break through the outer shell of the enemy ship and then detonate inside."

"Fox, we're waiting to see the fireworks you set off," the red ghost teased.

"Team Fox, try to maintain a synchronized attack during the operation. No matter who it is, they will drop bombs as soon as they get close to the target. You must know that the enemy will stop us at all costs." Mars said solemnly, "Our compatriots died here. Today, Let us fight for them!"

"Mobei, we should immediately pass the information here to the Nanmen ship." Gu Yiyi knew very well the importance of the intelligence they obtained from the Zeus.

"It may be too late"

"What happened?" Gu Yiyi, Blake and others looked at Fang Mobei in surprise.

"Five minutes ago, a message came from the Nanmen ship. Three warships suspected of being from the Tokta civilization were heading towards the Nanmen ship. The Nanmen ship sent out all its unmanned fighter jets to block it." Fang Mobei frowned and said, "We are escorting all around." The seven unmanned combat aircraft have been handed over to the main control AI on the Nanmen ship for control."

"Are we going back to rescue the Nanmen ship?" Black asked.

"No, the captain wants us to wait and see what happens. If nothing can be done, we will pass the information here back to the Tiangong."

Just when Blake and others were looking at each other, Fang Mobei had already passed the information they had obtained about the Tokta civilization back to the Nanmen ship, and asked Saihu to take over the control of the seven unmanned fighter jets outside.

"I think those three battleships may be the Titans," Gu Yiyi said with lingering fear.

The picture that appeared on the screens of everyone's helmets made them take a deep breath. Hundreds of behemoths comparable to star battleships swarmed into the star fighter's blocking circle, and they were even more enraged under the bombardment of thermal weapons. these behemoths

.

For these rough-skinned behemoths, only electromagnetic guns and laser cannons can bring harm to them. In front of hundreds of thousands of behemoths that are fearless of death, the first and second lines composed of interstellar fighters The defense lines fell one after another, and at this time, the Zeus gradually realized that the development of things was out of their control.

The extensive use of anti-matter bombs has brought huge casualties to these behemoths called Titans by Zeus, but anti-matter bombs are ultimately limited.

In the end, Zeus gradually disintegrated under the bite of hundreds of giant beasts. It was also at this time that Zeus sent a distress signal to Tiangong. The distress signal could not be sent completely due to the damage of the laser array. At the last moment, the Zeus detonated the jump engine located at the rear of the ship in desperation.

After the destruction of the Zeus, the remaining star fighters and the carrier aircraft preparing for landing operations lost hope and chose to land on Tokta to seek their last hope.

"It's gone?" Fang Mobei and others were shocked by this tragic scene and were overwhelmed.

"There is SDS on Tokta," Fang Mobei said to everyone after seeing the data decrypted by Sai Hu, "Zeus wants to land on Tokta to replenish SDS energy..."

"So they were attacked by the Tuoketa Aboriginal people," Gu Yiyi added.

"What happened next? Are the survivors on Tokta?" Black asked doubtfully.

"I don't know. The Zeus has been unable to receive any signals. Naturally, I don't know the situation of the survivors on Tokta." Fang Mobei took a deep breath and continued, "If you want to know the outcome, you may have to land. Planet Tokta."

"Are they still alive?" Mina's eyes flashed.

Qi Jingyu shook his head in silence, "If he is still alive, it is impossible that the Nanmen ship cannot receive the distress signal from the survivors on Tokta."

"Mobei, what do you want to do?" Gu Yiyi looked at Fang Mobei firmly. At present, they have two choices. One is to wait here for information after the victory of the Nanmen Ship. If they can't wait, they can only wait in Zeus. Waiting in the wreckage of the Tiangong for the arrival of the Tiangong in three months, the second option is to land on the Tokta planet to find survivors, and obtain detailed information about the Tokta star and pass it to the Tiangong.

Fang Mobei looked at everyone, and he couldn't help but frown with complicated emotions. He once made a choice amidst everyone's expectations, but the result was that he led them to the point of no return.

"No matter what, we will follow you without any regrets." Gu Yiyi felt Fang Mobei's emotions, and she slowly held Fang Mobei's slightly trembling hand.

"Boss, give the order," Qi Jingyu said after looking at Mina and Miyazaki beside him.

"We don't carry GT-2 mechas," Blake said angrily.

"Blake, when did you become so cowardly?" Mina rolled her eyes at Blake.

"I'm just reminding you so that you don't get carried away with your enthusiasm."

Everyone turned their attention to Fang Mobei, waiting for his final order.

"I suggest that we wait for news about the Nanmen Ship." Gu Yiyi looked at the confused Fang Mobei and said, "We have to go to Tokta Planet no matter what, but not now." After that, she He looked at Fang Mobei.

"Yiyi is right, we can't be impulsive now." Fang Mobei responded to Gu Yiyi with a smile and then said to everyone, "There are still quite a lot of doubts about the Zeus. We need to know more."

After Fang Mobei received Gu Yiyi's nod of affirmation, he took a deep breath and left all the haze of the past behind him, because he no longer had time to recall the sadness of the past. He needed to treat his current team members Responsible.

"Captain, Titan has entered Captain Mars' blocking circle," Saihu reminded. "The Nanmen ship has activated message synchronization. Do you need to get in?"

"Bring it in"
