Tens of thousands of transition jamming devices released by the fleet are distributed around the red dwarf star. Once they are activated, the area around this hot, high-density gaseous star will become a huge trap zone, and the gravity will be deflected to tens of thousands of different coordinates.
point, the space readings will vibrate violently. In this case, all jump equipment will be unable to start because it cannot locate itself. This jamming array can even trap a flagship like the Imperial Admiral to deal with that ghost ship.
Boats are of course not to mention.
However, this interference array must be activated after the ghost ship enters this space. According to Xiaoxue's prediction, we only have three seconds to activate the interference array. In order to ensure that no accidents occur within these three seconds, we specially
We brought a mass-produced host to serve as the data link center: its powerful performance can ensure that the entire system starts up simultaneously without any accidents.
Xiaoxue's prediction was very accurate this time. When the countdown reached zero, the ghost ship arrived as promised: and it appeared exactly at the point where it was supposed to appear.
When the huge ship arrived at the encirclement in a burst of distorted light, all the sensors reacted instantly, and information about the target spacecraft's orientation, size, energy response and other information was uploaded to the mass production machine on the No. 1 engineering ship within milliseconds.
The host was processed and processed. Then, under the unified control of the mass-produced host, the gravity well array was turned on, the transition blocker was turned on and reinforced, and the tracking probe began to rush towards the ghost ship and take root on its surface - the whole process only took a few minutes.
By the time it was completed in one second, the out-of-control warship that had frightened people all over the world was completely under control.
Our whole family was watching this scene from the upper platform of the No. 1 Engineering Ship, from the ghost ship appearing out of thin air, to the rapidly soaring amount of data in the information link, to those firefly-like probes rushing out from under our feet and flying towards
The goal, everything was accomplished in a blink of an eye. I didn't even react until the huge and broken starship floated lifelessly in front of me more than ten kilometers away, and the report of "operation successful" came from the information link.
After hearing the sound, I was sure that the ship was finally caught.
Xiaoxue was standing next to her. I couldn't help but reach out and pat her head: "Okay, girl, your calculation is pretty accurate this time."
The naughty kid king had a proud smile on his face, but he still tried to pretend that he was calm: "This is all trivial. After all, I am also a prophet... Hey, dad, don't rub my hair, I am no longer a child.
Got it!"
I chuckled and observed the spaceship more than ten kilometers away with Sandora and others: just as the information said, this ancient dilapidated starship was huge in scale, although it was no longer complete. What remained was
Some parts are dozens of kilometers long. In addition to the normal protruding components on the main body of the spacecraft, there are also a large number of damages and distortions caused by age and external impacts. Those huge armor plates that are mottled, peeled off or turned over are looking towards the direction.
In space, the silhouette of this ghost ship looks like a series of mountains floating in space. The dim light of the nearby red dwarf star shines on the broken armor belt. The surface of the ghost ship glows with a dark red brilliance... It makes people...
I can't help but think of blood stains.
I paid special attention to the front end of the spacecraft: the structure of this spacecraft looks somewhat similar to the Eternal-class battleship, so its front end should be the weapons section, but now there is only a jagged giant fracture zone and twisted armor.
Plates and entangled internal components poked out from the fracture zone, just like blood vessels and bones bursting out of the front end of a severed limb. Such tragic damage makes people wonder: What happened to this ancient spacecraft?
What kind of incident did it become like this? How did it escape from such a dangerous situation?
"It's so miserable..." Shandora was also a little stunned. Although we have seen the audio and video information of the ghost ship in a large number of witness reports, seeing a few pictures is different from seeing it with our own eyes, and those things were rushed The pictures taken in a short period of time can rarely record all the details of the ghost ship. Now that the ship is in front of us, we realize that it is worse than previously expected. Sandora even has confusion on her face. The look on his face: "Look at the damage to its front section, it is a fatal injury. If the spacecraft became like this after encountering a battle, then there is no reason for it to survive. The energy response of this ship is extremely weak, and my radar shows that it is almost It is in a shutdown state. I can’t believe that its order field can still be activated and is supported by it floating in the void until now... Where is the test report?"
Shandora's last words were addressed to the engineering ship's host computer. After the ghost ship was captured, the engineering mothership sent a large number of detectors and engineering sub-machine to check the opponent's situation. Several days had passed by this time. Minutes. It's almost time for the rough scan report to come out.
The straightforward voice of the shipboard host rang in everyone's mind: "Exterior scan: 26% devastating damage, 30% serious damage, and all remaining parts slightly damaged. Surface functional scan: outer layer of the target spacecraft All components were shut down, and no activated equipment was found. It was initially determined that the combat effectiveness was completely lost. Deep functional scan: the jump engine and void engine of the target spacecraft can still be used, and have been suppressed. The remaining systems have weak energy responses, and are initially determined to be dormant. Status or malfunction shutdown. Core scan: No scan conclusion. There is an interference zone inside the spacecraft, and the core area may still be running. It is recommended to conduct in-depth inspection."
"Is there any life reaction?" lìlìna suddenly jumped out and asked - before that, she had been busy squatting on the ground playing backgammon with the little crow. I didn't expect that this girl was also concerned about business.
The shipboard host was silent for a moment this time, probably because he was busy communicating with the detectors sent out, and then replied: "No life reaction has been found, and the possibility of life forms in the core area cannot be ruled out."
"What do you feel?" I asked curiously when I discovered that lìlìna had switched to the demigod form, that is, the elf state with blond hair and green eyes.
"I don't know if it's an illusion." lìlìna blinked, "I always feel that there are living creatures on that ship... My Goddess, listen to your followers' requests and show the truth to your followers!"
This fake girl pretended to pray, and Dingdang immediately came out of my pocket. The little thing rubbed his eyes and shouted softly: "I heard it, I heard it. There is no need to send text messages when I am right next to you." Well, why are you so polite to Dingdang..."
I looked at the two masters and servants who had not escaped, and poked Dingdang in the head: "Let's get down to business: The ghost ship is right there. lìlìna said there seemed to be living people inside, but our remote detector was blocked by the core area. The barrier is blocking it, take a look at the situation."
Dingdang might have just woken up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the spaceship. Her first reaction was to say: "Ah! This spaceship is really broken!" Then she remembered to do business. The little one was mumbling something, her arms and hands were small. I made gestures in the air for a long time, and finally tugged on my clothes and shook them twice: "There may or may not be... there is really a barrier inside. My intuition told Dingdang that there should be living people inside, but the barrier blocked the breath of life. Completely blocked.”
lìlìna said this just now, and now even Dingdang said this. I suddenly realized that the situation was subtle: it seemed that the interference barrier in the core area of the spaceship was not an ordinary starship core protective layer. It could even interfere with the perception of the goddess of life. This must be
It is a targeted device!
"This ship should be specially made. Xiaoxue is right. It has something special." Sandora frowned and looked at the ghost ship. Then she connected with the forward reconnaissance troops. "Have you found the entrance to the spacecraft? How is the situation inside?"
?”
The person in charge of the reconnaissance force immediately heard back: "The gate to the spacecraft has been found, but all normal passages are locked. We are trying to cut a gap through the armor fracture zone next to it... The rechargeable armor of the spacecraft has only weak power, and it is very difficult to
Easy to cut.”
Of course it is easy to cut, let alone cutting. Lin Jing could knock the ghost ship into pieces with a collision with a merchant ship: it is a miracle that this spaceship can persist to this day without disintegrating.
Seeing the expression on Sandora's face, I knew what she was planning, so I took the initiative to contact the reconnaissance team: "After opening the entrance, just stay where you are and we'll go there in person."
The entire empire has become accustomed to the way in which the head of state and his family try to do something for themselves. Moreover, this is not a high-risk operation, so the person in charge of the reconnaissance unit did not hesitate at all and accepted the order happily.
"Who is going to follow?" Sandora and I turned to the big family behind us at the same time and said, but there were very few people who responded. Even Qian Qian, who would join in the fun, and Xiao Xue, who was worried about the world being in chaos, remained silent this time.
, I looked at these two naughty kids curiously, and slightly stuck out my tongue: "That ship is too ugly..." Xiaoxue followed closely and nodded: "On the top floor."
Me: "..." Well, it's Qianqian anyway, nothing she does should be surprising.
Finally, lìlìna stood up: "Boss, I'll go with you. I'm the bioradar."
A little head immediately popped out of my pocket: "Ding Dong too!"
I took lìlìna to my side and said, "Okay. You two can control each other."
At this time, I felt someone tugging at the corner of my clothes again, and turned around to see that Medivh was standing behind me. This silly bird's face was full of excitement, and he happily said to me: "Gah!"
I no longer want to correct this stupid bird that she is not a duck but a crow.
Although I don’t know what kind of help this silly bird can do by following me, the little crow is known as the crow god, so I should let her see more of the world, so I nodded. So in the end, apart from myself and Sando
In addition to La, lìlìna and a silly bird were also set off together. By the way, they also brought Dingdang, whose intelligence was around circle nine. The rest of the family was spoiled by the tattered appearance of the ghost ship.
The guy who was worried about the world being in chaos actually stayed behind to look after the house this time...
A group of people quickly arrived at the lower armor belt of the ghost ship. There is an entrance and exit that can enter the interior of the ship. The reconnaissance team set up a small floating outpost next to the entrance. We took over with the leader of the reconnaissance team to understand
After checking the passage situation, the tall and thin imperial soldier pointed at the alloy barrier dozens of meters away: "The normal gate is completely locked. That is a reinforced gate. It will take a lot of time to open it. We have already scanned the gate.
As for the passage at the back, an inclined shaft is being drilled in the connecting groove between the armored belt and the structural plate. Look, it's over there."
I looked in the direction pointed by the imperial soldier and saw a groove on the ghost ship's shell that extended to the end of the line of sight. Three autonomous machines were hovering outside the groove, burning with high-power jets of psionic energy.
Erosion spacecraft armor. This place is originally located on the backside of the sun, and there is no atmospheric diffusion, so it should be pitch black, but the light released from the base of the floating outpost still illuminates the work site as bright as day.
"It's really hard to tell from the appearance of this ship that it belongs to which region." During the few minutes of waiting for the inclined shaft to open, Sandora looked up curiously and observed the appearance of the ghost ship. We are now so far away from here.
A huge ship dozens of kilometers long is very close, so it is impossible to see its whole picture. Just an armor plate under its side looks like a cliff towering to the sky in everyone's sight, but Shandora is also talking to
The nearby probe kept the data flowing, so she was observing all the appearance details of the ship at the same time. After comparing all the appearance features, Sandora shook her head in disappointment: "It's a specially modified model, anyway.
I did not order the construction of this thing. The logo of the spaceship should have disappeared into the void along with the missing structures, otherwise I might as well check the memory bank to know who built it."
I turned my head and glanced at Sandora: "Why do you care so much about who built this ship?"
"Let Xiaoxue feel uneasy after saying a few words." Sandora curled her lips and smiled. Although she said she was uneasy, I didn't see that she had any uneasiness at all. "This ship has something to do with me, but I can't even
I’ve never seen it before. Aren’t you uncomfortable having it on you?”
When I thought about my symptoms of late-stage systemic diffuse obsessive-compulsive disorder, I suddenly didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
Since the ghost ship's armor charging system has basically been scrapped, it didn't take much time to dig an inclined shaft next to the armored belt. Soon the autonomous machines drilled a spacious enough passage. One of the autonomous machines was the first to do so.
He flew in to check the situation and sent back an "internal security" report.
I noticed something: when the inclined shaft was opened, there was no airflow near the hole. This means that the spacecraft has completely lost pressure, at least in its outer area.
Every part of the imperial warship has automatic repair functions. Even if it is blown up in the middle, as long as its core is still working, the spacecraft can seal the damage on its own. And the current situation of complete loss of pressure shows that the ship is self-repairing.
Has been shut down.
"Let's go in." Sandora didn't say much, and she took the lead in teleporting to the entrance of the inclined shaft that had just been opened, and there was still a faint blue light, and then flew in immediately.
The inclined shaft ablated by the high-power nether energy jet is hundreds of meters long. The molten and solidified metal cave wall is still glowing with blue fluorescence, but at the end of the inclined shaft there is only darkness: the ghost ship not only has external lights
It was completely destroyed, even the interior was completely dark, and even the emergency lighting equipment seemed to have run out of energy.
We walked through the still scorching shimmering cave and came to a wide alloy corridor, which was about ten meters wide. Considering that one end of it leads to the outer gate of the spacecraft, this should be a passage for people and small aircraft to enter and exit.
I looked around, and the light in my sight was extremely dim. The only "illumination" was the blue fluorescence left behind by the psionic energy jet: the autonomous machines had penetrated the structural panels of the spacecraft. The psionic energy jet also melted part of the ground in the corridor, where
The metal has semi-solidified. And part of it has become crystalline. These blue crystals are the only source of light in sight.
I thought about it and suddenly slapped my head, and Alaya was immediately taken out of my mind. The angel sister was thrown into such a dark environment in a daze. She knew what to do without me telling her, so she immediately
Spreading your wings increases your brightness...
Shandora glanced at me silently, said nothing, and walked forward. The little crow curiously went up to touch Alaya's wings, with envy on his face: Could this stupid bird want to
Bleach?
With Alaya's illumination, progress became much easier. We drifted forward quickly along this corridor, looking for any sign that could indicate the structure of the spacecraft or at least contain information about the ownership of the spacecraft. This severely damaged ship
The spacecraft has lost its gravity environment, and there is no air in this section. We feel like floating in the corridor as if we are floating in outer space. The little crow cleverly uses her lightning power to create an electromagnetic field, relying on magnetizing the surrounding alloys.
The wall flew forward with us, and the speed turned out to be quite fast: now she is a magnetically levitated crow. lìlìna couldn't help but mutter next to her: "Boss, I think this bird is a bit different
Not stupid..."
We quickly passed through this long corridor inside the ship and stopped at a fork in the road. Sandora looked at the sign on the wall of the fork, looked at the fork on the left, and said in the spiritual connection: "Two
Level control channel...this should lead to the inner area."
"Then let's go." I didn't think much. I stood up and planned to fly towards the deeper-looking alloy corridor, but I found that Sandora was floating in place and didn't move. "What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking about something." Sandora seemed to be worried. She frowned slightly and looked around the surrounding environment. "We have come so far here, why can't we see even a single landmark?"
I didn't react at once: "What do you mean?"
"The legion's logo, the mark of the area it belongs to, or at least the number of the unit it belongs to." Sandora pointed to the direction in which everyone came. The long alloy passage now looked dark and dark. "There is nothing on the walls along the way.
There’s nothing on the covers of those embedded devices, and we haven’t seen any information indicating where this spacecraft belongs, and look at the sign here.”
Sandora pointed to the big blue road sign on the wall at the fork.
"According to regulations, the number of the spacecraft to which it belongs will be written in the corner of this kind of signboard - there is no such information." (To be continued.
