Interstellar End Times: I Take Players to Dismantle Spaceships

Chapter 395 Trimming
"Captain, our ship is disintegrating rapidly!"

"God, the dust here is like the stomach acid in the belly of the ancient god. The decision to enter here is crazy!"

After entering the dust belt near the star Barat, the bridge of the USS San Antonio was in chaos.

Alarms sounded one after another on the ship, and the crew members on the outer layer of the ship were horrified to discover that the hull outside the portholes was becoming mottled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just like the skin of a giant that keeps peeling off, the deeper structural steel, circuit pipelines and sensors of the ship body were soon exposed, and these fragile parts soon exploded with sparks and were completely burned.

This is the scary thing about dust belts.

The San Antonio's shields were depleted during the pursuit battle with the Revenge.

The risk of breaking into the dust belt gave it no chance to restart the shield. It was even more of a luxury to send out SCV to repair the ship. In less than half a day, this huge battleship would turn into a mess full of holes. Space junk will stay here forever.

This is why Erwin believes that the Federals are out.

At present, perhaps only the real immortal boat people can move in the dust belt. After all, only their immortal boats can automatically repair themselves amidst the terrible corrosion.

"Continue to travel along the original route and do not stop. There is a safe area ahead for repairs."

Eaton's order calmed the crew down a lot.

But then a new question arose. Is the safe area in the dust belt really that easy to find?
What has happened is that there is no turning back.

The San Antonio's engine soon became paralyzed, and it continued to slide relying on its original route and inertia. The surface of the Spirit soon became mottled, but the corrosion condition was obviously better than that of the San Antonio.

There were no changes to the several relic warships. After all, they were originally salvaged from the depths of the cemetery. However, the booster engines installed on their surfaces by the Barat people quickly burned themselves out.

In this case, the Yuan Sail, which is still as white as new, is very eye-catching.

Countless Federation crew members stared in amazement at this beautiful ship that was incompatible with the environment. The ship flexibly cleared the way in front of the fleet and opened fire from time to time, blasting away meteorites and debris blocking the way for subsequent ships.

"So strong!"

"Brother, do you know where she comes from?"

The newly joined Federation crew members were curious and approached their comrades on the Courage to learn about the situation. Unfortunately, the crew members who were far away from the Courage were also confused at this moment.

Although they knew that the Yuan Sail was very strong and had never lost in a collision, they had never seen her fire. The firepower and accuracy were really fresh in their memories.

"Uh, maybe it's our federation's secret weapon?"

"It is very possible that Captain Eaton must have come with a secret mission."

"Hey, as expected of the Federation! So awesome!"

The Federation crew members felt good about themselves, which lasted for a long time until the fleet left the dust belt and entered a "cavity" safe zone hidden deep in the dust belt, where it reunited with the Yaoqing Immortal Boat there.

"Hell, that's the legendary fairy boat!"

"God, she's so big. She must be more than 5 kilometers long, right?"

"Federal records show that the average length of the Xianzhou people's motherships is about 6.6 kilometers and their mass exceeds 100 billion tons. As long as the ship in front of you is still their regular model, it must be about the same size."

"Hiss...that's not at the super-dreadnought level!"

"That's not the case. After all, it is an Ark-type mothership. It cannot be all used for military purposes. A considerable part of it must be production and residential facilities, and... it has been damaged now."

"Uh, tell me...why did we find this place? Aren't the Federation and the Immortal Boat people mortal enemies?"

"I have a bad feeling..."

The Yaoqing Fairy Boat floating quietly in the distance looks like a sampan that has been enlarged countless times. The bow is narrow and the midship is wide. The side of the ship is very high. There are no messy masts on the deck, but there are ecological bubbles scattered around it. Areas and "ecological bubbles" are dotted with large expanses of green plants, which are still thriving even in space.

However, at this moment, this magnificent ecological ship appeared to be in tatters. The hull was covered with scars from the fierce battle. The most serious blow even shattered a third of the port side, revealing layers of complex structures inside. A network of shimmering roots.

This fairy boat was severely damaged and should not be able to continue fighting until it is repaired.

"Could it be that...we are here to take advantage of the situation?"

Suddenly, a Federation crew member shouted excitedly, and the other people's faces showed expressions of anticipation and confusion.

Although they really want to take advantage of the situation, it would be rude for you to shout directly like this. We are civilized teachers.

No matter what the federal crew members below said, the improvised fleet quickly moved towards the Yaoqing Immortal Boat and was not attacked!

"This...isn't it right?"

The federal soldiers felt that the situation was a little out of control. It seemed that the two sides were not as hostile as they expected?

Long live!
The Federation is actually cooperating with the remnants of the Forged Star!

This is definitely the most explosive news in the past ten years. If you tell it, it will definitely be attacked by the federal mainstream media, and then disappear from the world that night.

Regardless of them, Chu Hang finally reunited with the second family under the Casting Star Empire.

"Master Divine Envoy, I am Fei Xiao, the Sky Strike General of the Yaoqing Immortal Boat, the manager here. On behalf of the 98 people of the Yaoqing Immortal Boat, I once again pledge my allegiance to the Gods. Thank you for your rescue."

Chu Hang smiled and nodded.

With his current status, he can indeed bear the title of "Messenger of God". He was originally the messenger of "Oracle", so there is nothing wrong with that.

"How is the condition of the Yaoqing Immortal Boat?"

General Fei Xiao immediately put away his excess excitement and became serious again.

"It's very bad. Our ship was ambushed by the empire and the Barat people before. Now the damage is over 40%, the casualties are 10%, and the material loss is over 70%. Without supplies and rescue, there will be more than 20 immortal ships in the future. People lost their lives...If the situation continues to deteriorate, we may very well follow in the footsteps of Fang Hu Xian Zhou."

Chu Hang nodded slightly with the same seriousness.

"I understand. The Casting Starfire Seed I brought will immediately assess the damage to your ship and start repair operations. At the same time, the atrium on my ship is a stardust-rich environment. Send your seriously injured personnel for treatment, Fang Hu The remnants of the Immortal Boat have been placed there.”

"Thank you, Lord God Envoy!"

General Fei Xiao immediately leaned over and thanked him sincerely.Even though the Yuan Sail was small in size, the amount of stardust swallowed by the fire was not comparable to that of the two immortal ships. It was an astonishing amount that it took a Thousand Rock Star to explode.

In addition to integrating these stardust into the hull, the fire is also enriched through the golden tree of light in the atrium, which can simulate a unique magnetic field similar to the planet Gaia and accelerate the recovery of injuries.

The only troublesome thing is that the place is relatively small. Tens of thousands of Fanghu survivors crowded the atrium and surrounding cabins with nowhere to stay. Even the surrounding players were driven away and the rooms were requisitioned.

But the players didn't have any objections at all.

Because everyone is thinking about the upcoming mission rewards.

This time, the two legions jointly rescued more than [-] Xianzhou people, satisfying the highest level of Chuhang's reward in exchange for a Dragon-class battleship.

Although it is jointly owned by two legions, it is definitely worth more than exchanging 5 battlecruisers each.

That's a battleship produced by Star Cast Heavy Industries!

The Yuan Sail is only a battleship. Although one is a legendary customized model and the other is a mass-produced model, in today's universe, it is definitely much stronger than the Imperial class. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a quasi-dreadnought.

All you high-end players are already thinking about the future.

It's a pity that Chu Hang hasn't even found the Veyron's shell yet, let alone the production of a new one. Without a Galactus-class engineering ship, there's no need to talk about anything.

"Let them wait first. After all, ordering a new spaceship also requires a delivery period, right?"

Chu Hang muttered silently to himself.

Later, Chu Hang took the players to board the Yaoqing Immortal Boat to help, and evened out a batch of supplies from the Yuan Sail.

As soon as the players heard that there was a new map to explore, they immediately restrained their thoughts of rushing for goods, and happily ran to the vast Yaoqing Fairy Boat to seek help from the NPC.

After all, the Xianzhou people have been traveling in the universe for so long. The strange collections in the hands of the Xianzhou people are very suitable for the players, and the enthusiasm and efficiency of the players also make the Xianzhou people sigh - they are indeed the gods!

Just a little too enthusiastic, and sometimes lacking common sense...

Forget it, we won’t ask too much about the Gods. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite~
At the same time, Yuan Sail set off again with another team of players.

They sailed back into the depths of the dust belt, and their mission was to solve the problem of the Fanghu Immortal Boat, and tow the nearly sunken fairy boat back, so that it could merge with the Yaoqing Immortal Boat.

Appropriate trade-offs are necessary. The repair value of the Fanghu Immortal Boat has been infinitely low, and there is a lack of sufficient repair conditions. The only way to dismantle the Fanghu Immortal Boat and strengthen the Yaoqing Immortal Boat as soon as possible is the most correct choice at the moment.

Representatives of the survivors of Fanghu Xianzhou also agreed to this proposal.

After they recover, they will also move to the Yaoqing Immortal Boat.

Time flies.

After a short rest, the federal crew members aboard the San Antonio and the Spirit were a little unable to sit still, because not only did their two ships not enter the maintenance process, but there were no new orders issued from above.

This makes them uneasy.

Finally, after questioning by the petty officers and boatswain, Eaton issued the latest order.

Abandon ship!

Eaton asked them to abandon the nearly half-destroyed Gorgon-class battleship and the USS Courage, whose situation was also not optimistic, and transfer to the "Night Goddess-class" dreadnought.

After all, on the surface, the ship was purchased by the Federation.

Federal soldiers were both excited and worried. Can this dreadnought really be repaired?

Their anxiety was quickly relieved.

Because the city builders brought a large number of SCVs from Star Casting Heavy Industry and players from the logistics team and science team to board the Night Goddess level.

They were originally helping on the Yaoqing Immortal Boat, but later they discovered that the Yaoqing Immortal Boat was "alive". As long as there were enough nutrients and energy, the tree trunk-like hulls could repair themselves, so there was no need for them at all.

So, with some self-esteem hurt, they started tinkering with the Night Goddess.

After all, it was made by their city-builder civilization using casting technology. Now they have found an official after-sales team. Although there are still many repair conditions, there is no problem in taking a look at the ship's condition and designing a maintenance plan.

Also being carried out are the maintenance work on the Void-class armored aircraft carrier and the Aegis-class battleship.

Although there were only three ships, the complexity of the Star Casting Heavy Industry and its imitations still amazed the logistics players and federal engineers who followed the entire process.

At the same time, some messages and discussions began to spread among the federal soldiers.

——They were abandoned by the Federation. Captain Eaton's current cooperation with the Cast Star... remnants has not been authorized by the Federation!

This is very painful.

Although their position was to combat the imperial conspiracy, without authorization from the federal military, their private cooperation with the Star Cast survivors could easily be liquidated afterwards.

It is equivalent to saying that the above sentence can erase their achievements and at the same time accuse them of collaborating with the enemy, betraying the country, or even plotting rebellion.

This is something that these passionate soldiers cannot accept at any cost.

What's more, after a short period of contact, it seems that these Star Casting survivors who cooperate with them are not as evil as the Federation propaganda, and they are very good allies.

After all, he believed in the propaganda of the federal government and firmly distanced himself from the Cast Star survivors.

Or should you accept the help of the Forged Star survivors, fight against the Empire together, and risk being wronged to fight for the Federation?

For a time, different currents of thought led to fierce confrontations among the federal soldiers.

Three days passed in a flash.

On this day, the Yuan Sail returned smoothly, dragging behind it the huge wreckage of the Fanghuxianzhou and the wreckage of two other star-casting battleships, which looked quite shocking.

At the same time, the internal debate among the federal soldiers finally came to an end.
