Chapter 592: Privateers, low-level scavengers

Views:

The close-in star looks enormous, almost like a burning wall in the background, pouring its own fierce, scorching sun onto the surface of a black, barren planet, apparently uninhabitable for humans. Plasma star, which has an overly thick atmosphere, and the ionization of the atmospheric components is too active. The violent solar wind from the nearby stars blows this thick atmosphere like a natural electrolyte, making it explode twenty times at any time in every square mile The above violent lightning caused the upper part of the atmosphere to become a thick plasma cloud, while the endless thunder below the atmosphere scorched the earth, turning the entire crust into an obsidian-like conductive spherical shell in the process of continuous electrolysis and melting , when overcharged, even a third of the planet would be covered in iridescent silver light, making it look even more majestic—and deadlier.

Nobody can survive on a plate with a billion volts, right

And on the backside of this plasma star, there is a huge and old space station floating alone.

It is a huge building that looks like a spool. The main part is a cylinder with a long axis of more than two hundred kilometers and a radius of about fifty kilometers. A huge steel ring with a radius of 100 kilometers. Its function is unknown. This huge space station is maintained on the dark side of the planet, relying on its own power to maintain this posture to avoid the overly strong solar wind. From this, it can be concluded that this space station should belong to a star Creations below the system-level civilization: They do not yet have the technology to establish a space entity within the sun's magnetic current barrier and use their own energy field to stay safe.

This huge space station has reached the size of a space city. In the "lower civilization", it can be regarded as a magnificent creation, but it is obviously not too young. The surface is mottled and covered with scars, and there are obviously missing things in some places Traces, the exterior of the space station should have been covered with lights, but now only one-third of the area is shrouded in light. In its middle, there are five uā petal-like semicircular takeoff and landing platforms, but two of them are full of debris , dim, and must have lost its function—apparently, no one bothered to fix it.

The base of the ī sweeping group is here.

First of all, I didn't expect that a group of robbing groups would have their own space station. Judging from the scale, it must not have been built by them themselves, at least it must have come from a certain country. The plasma star it is attached to can also be counted as the wealth of those looting groups, aha, a looting group with a space station and a colony star, let alone how much water is in the middle, it is always okay to bluff people.

Secondly, I didn't expect that there would be people who would dare to live in such a dilapidated space station... Wouldn't the people inside be afraid that the power system of the space station would suddenly shut down? It only takes fifteen minutes for the solar wind behind the planet to explode such a fragile unshielded space entity.

The original plan of Viska was to let the Void Cruisers appear in front of the ī looting group swaggeringly, and then justly announced that they had invaded the legal property of the empire, and then they needed to go through a period of brilliant fire bombing (executed by the imperial general himself) , and finally capture the leader of the other party alive, that is, the head of the big sister, and the next step is to pry the information out of the other party's mouth, but this plan was beaten by my hand knife into a tear uā in the corner of a violent lolita's eyes, and After seeing the space station in front of me that might disintegrate at any time, looking at the space station that looked like a refugee camp, I finally decided, in the spirit of poverty alleviation, I should stop scaring people...

Elder Sister thinks, maybe we should try those infiltration methods that look interesting in the movie. It should be fun to use our brains to get into the gang and then cheat some information out. This fun plan was unanimously approved. .

The Void Wanderer remains concealed on the sunny side of the plasma star (the cutting-edge spacecraft of the Federation Army will not worry about a mere plasma storm, whether there is an energy shield or not, this is a technological gap), and my sister and I took Wes Ka changed to an iǎ-type shuttle and approached the space station swaggeringly.

Naturally, as soon as we entered the other party's cordon, we received a warning from the other party.

"Unknown spaceship ahead, this is the Ark of Dawn space station, you have entered our air defense line, please identify yourself immediately and slow down and stop the ship, otherwise we will launch an attack"

"Tch, a group of reptiles, but they look decent."

Hueska in the driver's seat snorted disdainfully, and I took over the communication: "Tell your boss, we're here for business."

"Business? This is a residential space station. We don't need anything other than supplies... Well, I think we did order a batch of food. I didn't expect it to arrive so early. Are you the special commissioner of the Food Department of the Roland Gale Foundation? Please show your business license, production license, sanitation license and batch inspection report."

... It's really troublesome to keep complaining, so I will ignore it this time.

"Maybe you made a mistake, I'm looking for you to do some more valuable business, some interesting iǎ stuff, from the opposite side of the big nebula, I'm looking for your big sister here—that's what the two Beckham brothers call it. "

The voice in the communicator was silent for a few seconds, and then changed to a man who sounded a bit older: "I'm afraid you have found the wrong place. This is just a colonial space city. We don't accept supplies from informal channels."

"Forget it, there are so many looters around here, they will only pay a higher price."

"Ah Jun," my elder sister came over and muttered in a low voice, "You can really fool me."

"There's nothing technical about it. The Plundering Group isn't even considered a pirate. In the era of the big universe, it's just a group. How high do you expect them to have anti-espionage skills?"

Sure enough, although the person on the opposite side sounded a little more stable, he couldn't judge the truth of what I said because of the special "business" of the īplundering group. A dubious answer came: "Okay, your landing code is AE689, I will guide you to land—well, what kind of spaceship is that? The general guidance frequency cannot interfere?"

"It comes from a new technology system, of course it can't interfere, and I guarantee that even the military can't crack its navigation technology. How about it, isn't this product good?"

This time, the other party finally believed it eight or nine points, and his tone seemed a lot more relaxed: "It can't be that I got it from the military... Aha, I almost forgot the rules of this industry... I will give you the code and find a place to land by yourself." All right, someone is waiting for you there."

It's that easy to get in.

An inconspicuous organization like the ī猫团 doesn't usually have big forces to deal with it. Naturally, they don't have to think about being infiltrated by spies. In this universe, even declaring war can be done for no reason. Regardless of the iǎ organization, no security department would bother to deal with them, so they are actually free people in the true sense. But then again, it is very easy for any force to annihilate them, even without paying any price.

This is the status quo of the "scavenger" at the bottom of the pyramid of cosmic armed forces.

It is also because of this that it is easier than imagined to enter the space station of the looting group. As long as there is a lame reason, don't show enough power to threaten them, these universes will be unsuspecting, and I have never heard of any bad boys from middle school. Each iǎ team also needs a passphrase.

This old space station does not have perfect port management. After our shuttle landed, the other party did not even scan the container compartment. Only a team of staff in space suits came out of the enclosure and signaled us to get off the plane.

I opened the shuttle cabin and hugged Viska in a coquettish state and jumped to the landing platform of the space station where the gravity was a bit low, then reached out to help my sister down the gangway, then turned around and waved to the astronauts who came to meet me.

The opponents were all in a state of petrification, and no one responded.

… Well? what happened

I looked at each other in amazement. Through the fully transparent mask, I could see the terrified expressions on the faces of these astronauts. Everyone was as motionless as if they were petrified. What happened?

Look down at yourself, clean and tidy, there is nothing wrong with it except that it is all street stalls, Pandora, wearing the black è dress I sold her last time, is also normal, my elder sister, wearing a white è long dress, is even more Neat and elegant, this dress should be fine...

It’s not bad, it’s nonsense, Nima, this take-off and landing platform was directly exposed to space. When Chang’e landed on the moon, she ate a foundation pill. Have you ever seen an astronaut on the International Space Station walk out of the cabin wearing a ù vest

Our family is used to walking around in space, but in the eyes of the group of humans in spacesuits in front of us, our actions, which are also humans, are a bit scary.

"What are you looking at?" Viska grinned and waved his fist at the opposite side, and the mental communication roared directly in the minds of those staff, "You fragile humans, is it strange to see people without spacesuits?"

This girl immediately excluded me and my elder sister from the category of human beings, but she made the spacemen on the opposite side nod clearly.

Stand up on the landing platform—although I didn't mean to stand up at all, but it obviously attracted more attention from these ī looting groups. The other party immediately invited us to enter the space station and told them that they had sent someone to notify the elder sister. The shuttle will be "temporarily kept" by them. I don't care about it. I just took out the remote control and pressed it twice on the shuttle. It was locked and pulled down with two beeps. The special anti-theft lock designed by Bubbles for space battleships automatically With space anchoring function, you can pull this shuttle away when you open a Death Star fortress. In good faith, our iǎplane is the only bright thing in this broken space station.

... The child's mother is usually too busy.

"It's really enough here." Walking in the long corridor of the space station that seems to have a little uneven gravity, the elder sister leaned over and whispered, "It's like a slum."

You expect a group of piracy groups to manage such a space station, how good can it be

I don’t know how many years this place has been built. Anyway, almost every metal deck we saw along the way was rusty, and the railings of the hanging bridge were also dirty, with various graffiti and posters covering almost both sides. The original color of the metal walls should be clear and bright, and the staff corridors are all like this, not to mention the battleship passage under the suspension bridge, which looks like a waste collection station, um, it is a waste collection station, full of many I don’t know where I bought the battlefield garbage, a few rusty engineering robots, a group of staff members who are lazily tossing in it wearing a slit vest, and the word “demolition” should be written on the place where the battleship’s ammunition passage should have been. There is nothing wrong with drawing a circle outside.

"Hey, how's it going, isn't the place big?"

We were led forward by a dark-skinned man in dark brown overalls and a yellow leather work cap. When he talked about this space station, he didn’t feel ashamed. Big Sister's property, I heard that Big Sister used to be a famous family, and it fell because of the first space war, but this space station, and the silicon mine star below, are all her family's... "

This is not the first time this rambling man has brought up this topic along the way. It can be heard that the eldest sister has a very high prestige here, even to the point of personality worship, but I have no interest in it. We are here to You can despise the insignificant power of the "big sister" to buy information, but anyone has to admit that the local snake often knows a lot of things that you can't do at a high price, such as already hidden and no longer open If there is any contact with the Templar Legion, such as the federal army that has just been attacked and is now missing, the eldest sister must know their clues.

Lilina even preached to the Liao group, I really don't know what that girl thinks...

"Bōhan, if you don't mind going back to the mine to continue being whipped, then don't change your mouth."

Suddenly, a mid-spirited bass came from the front, which made the black-skinned guide in front of us stop talking suddenly. Looking at the sound, two strong bald men like cows were standing at the end of the hanging bridge. Looking at this side with a bad face.

With such a strong sense of sight, the Beckham brothers have a high rate of appearance.

And I was keenly aware of one thing, although the two brothers who looked almost identical in front were wearing the same coarse work clothes, one of them drew a big leaf pattern with green paint in front of iōng, at least the shape of the leaf and the paint It was the closest, with such a bright pattern appearing on the dirty clothes, it was obviously just painted on. Needless to say, I guessed that this was definitely the master who completed the "exorcism" not long ago.

Is he really going to change his job to become a priest

"Baker heard that the two of you met an interstellar ghost outside?" The black man called bōhan didn't care about the other party's ridicule. The pilot named Ken is mentally abnormal when he comes back, and you want to change your job to be a priest, so that thing is your divine robe?"

"Shut up!" A Beijing-style bald man on the opposite side patted the green è mark on the front of the iōng, "I really saw a miracle. A while ago, there was a misfortune... There are so many Temple Legions who came to preach It’s not that you didn’t see it, I remind you, if it weren’t for the nv god who told us to cherish life, I would smash your head.”

... These goods all crossed over from the territory of Hebei, right

"I heard that you use the name of our brother," Baker, who is a bald man with a green è pattern painted on his body, who really plans to change his job to become a priest (the sense of disobedience of this image is really explosive), is now suspicious He looked at us with wide eyes, "It is true that some people will come directly to the īxuan group for business, and our brothers have never been very tight-lipped, but to be honest, you really don't look like a businessman."

I also ignored him, it wasn't in the first place, if it wasn't for my lord sister who suddenly wanted to play the infiltration game, our warship would have opened your mouth at this time.

"Okay, I don't like to talk, huh? Come here, the eldest sister is very interested in the shuttle you brought. It looks advanced. Angels should buy the technology of this light fighter. "Ham shrugged, and went first, "Hurry up and leave when the business is over, don't blame me for being honest, we don't like to do business with people in your military, especially if you steal things from your own people and sell them. Get implicated, iǎ people like us can't afford to offend..."

It seems that they regard us as insiders of a certain official power in the Eastern Sky District, thinking that we are selling the new technology of our own country as goods, and listening to the other side, similar things are not uncommon. Products emerge in endlessly, and the composition of the country is incomparable. In a universe where everyone has no sense of patriotism and only wants to protect themselves, betraying the country is considered a commercial act

In the end, we took the special train inside the space station and were taken to a cabin with obviously different specifications. Well, it was just a normal space station living area, but—this was probably the only clean, new place here.

Clean alloy corridors, bright lights, silver-white bulkheads, and high-tech automatic sentinels, I can be considered to have found a little bit of the feeling of being in a space station instead of the flea market on Sancha Street. This is where the eldest sister is.

The two Beckham brothers pointed to a silver and white door pasted with four crookedly large characters of "Lady's Boudoir" on colored è drawing paper. In front of the cabin is the room of the eldest sister. You can go in by yourself, she won't let us go in casually. "

After the two brothers finished speaking, they flashed away.

My sister and I looked at each other, and Viska took two steps forward unceremoniously, and pushed away the concealed alloy without even knocking.

A... very ordinary cabin.

At first I thought I would see a golden treasure room filled with pearls, agates, emeralds, white jade and glazed mountains, gold foil on the walls and diamonds on the floor, and a big beauty wearing a blindfold sitting on a big red velvet chair Girl, wearing a pirate hat and a black jacket, puffing out clouds and puffing mist while digging out ears with the iron hook on her hand, the other party will have a good time when we come in, and said in a low tone: "Jack, We still have bills to pay..."

Where do you think it all went

But in fact, there is only a very ordinary habitation cabin for the purpose of entry, a simple and undecorated white metal bulkhead, with an area of less than 30 square meters, a foldable space station standard bed next to one wall, and a gray sheet next to it. è's writing desk, on the other side is a large metal cabinet, and there is a wooden dressing table next to the large cabinet, which is the only luxury in the room, and the eldest sister is standing in the middle of the room with her head turned to us, A woman with a height of 1.7 meters, purple è curly hair with a shawl, and a dark è leather jacket.

I can't see her face, so I can only judge from her back. She is not as tall as her sister, so she should be a young woman.

But the eldest sister didn't respond to our arrival, she was busy admonishing people—there was a large floating screen in the middle of the room, on which was a middle-aged man with a depressed face, who was being held by this very aura The eldest sister is trained like the grandson. A
