Him and their stars

At the same time, "an important candidate for Time Lord" and "one of the powerful Time Lords" is indeed leading his friends, driving a battleship riddled with holes, and is traveling in the abyss nebula. Sailing towards the Gate of Glory.

"Ah Sneeze..." Yu Lian, who was in a meeting with all his friends, wiped his nose and looked at the nebula outside the porthole for no apparent reason.

I have to admit that the environment of the Abyss Nebula does look quite disharmonious. Large swaths of the sky were rendered in a heart-stopping blood-red color, which made people panic just by looking at it. Being in it is like swimming in the blood sea of ​​hell, and it is reasonable to be infected with strange space viruses.

...Just as reasonable as a Super Saiyan dying of a heart attack, right?

Therefore, someone must be cursing himself. But it doesn’t matter. After walking around the world for so long, even a well-connected person like me will have a few enemies.

Yu Lian curled his lips angrily and said angrily to his friends at the scene: "According to the information transmitted by the beacon left by the Great Khan, we should take this channel to meet them."

As he spoke, he reached out and drew a line on the star map. It happened to start from the Ash 07 galaxy in the Extreme Star Region, pass through a corner of the vast Abyss Nebula, and connect to the Gate of Glory.

"At least it can be proved that this channel can be used by large ships. This is the only way we can go now." Yu Lian said to everyone: "In short, just leave the job of the navigator to me. The Ero people's fleet If you can walk through a gravity well, of course I can too."

No one doubted this, since Yu Lian had already proved it just now.

"The pilot and the captain are the same person. It seems that this is only true for small boats." Feifei laughed.

"There are only thirty people on the whole ship, aren't they from the small boat?" Yu Lian shrugged: "In short, the first priority is to repair the ship, let's not talk about the material problem, but with our few manpower, no matter what not enough."

Indeed, in the current state of the Scarlet Throne, if it is not repaired, it will probably fall apart after jumping to a few star systems. But there were less than thirty friends at the scene. Even if everyone was a master of technology and a tentacle monster, they couldn't build a six-million-ton ship!

"As long as the manpower problem is solved, there will be nothing to worry about." Yu Lian added.

"Yes, it's a matter of materials." Agnes said.

Yu Lian pretended not to hear, and looked at the only two people on the scene who were not members of his friends, namely General Huitan, who was still breathing but not dead, and the ship's second officer Haita.

As we all know, the Predator warships are simply larger pirate ships. Even a warship like the Scarlet Throne with extremely enhanced firepower has a large number of sailrooms. Although they had gone through so many battles and were finally stabbed in the waist by a space bubble torpedo, according to the data fed back by the ship's center, there were more than 30,000 crew members still alive.

These people are now locked in their respective cabins.

In fact, the safest way is to directly use the central control to evacuate the air from those cabins. In this way, as long as you wait a few more minutes, everyone will be able to harvest a ghost ship that is completely their own and will never have any resistance - a ghost ship. .

Someone actually suggested this to Yu Lian, and it was in front of General Huitan and Haita. Thinking of this, the two predators felt their hearts tremble, and they wished they could get over it now.

General Huitan is now slumped in his chair like a vegetable, and it is difficult to even make an expression now. On the contrary, the second officer Haita showed a pleading look. He wanted to tell him that there were still a lot of crew members on the ship, and just releasing some manpower would be enough, but he was worried that saying this would make the other party misunderstand that he had ulterior motives. If you cut yourself off with a click, where can you reason?

Haita was in a dilemma and felt extremely tormented.

At this time, I heard Feifei say: "There are too many prisoners of war in the predators, and we can't let them out for the time being. However, when I was checking the structure of the ship just now, I found that there was actually a slave labor cabin on top, and there were also More than four hundred people.”

Yu Lian looked at the two Marauder prisoners of war.

With only half a breath left, Huitan twitched the tentacles at the corner of his mouth and didn't know how to answer for a while. On the other hand, Haita next to him quickly added: "Just, the slaves who escaped before... ah no, technical talents. That's why we have to bring them with us."

As we all know, the Predator Tribe United claims to be an interstellar nomadic empire entrenched in the center of the galaxy, and it is indeed quite nomadic. When they invade civilized countries, they not only plunder food and wealth, but also people. Most of the people plundered back will be used as consumables, and their average life span is even lower than that of slave workers in the empire's mines and ordinary workers in the alliance's sweatshops.

The only ones that are not consumables, apart from dignitaries who can be exchanged for large ransoms, are technicians with special skills. Doctors, senior technicians, engineers and scientists are all within this scope.

Of course, liberal arts students and artists are definitely in the category of consumables.

After capturing the Lion's Den Fortress, the residents of Far Home and the refugees who had just escaped fell into the hands of the predators again. Time is limited and the war situation is urgent. It is difficult to determine the identity of the local residents of Far Home Planet, but the identity information of the poor people in the refugee camp is available. So, the troll and the long-bearded demon bargained and divided the important technical personnel in half.

It must be admitted that General Huitan is actually a new type of warlord who understands "people-oriented"! Even when I was running away, I didn't forget to take these technicians with me.

"You are a good warlord." Yu Lian gave a thumbs up to General Huitan.

He looked at Yu Lian with a dejected look, but he felt so weak that he couldn't even smile even a little bit, and even the dizziness in his head was getting stronger and stronger.

Can you send me to the medical bay? I think I can still save it a little bit.

"Get through the slave labor camp's communications, communicate with them, and ask a representative to come and talk to me," Yu Lian said.

Mr. and Mrs. Ursnov escorted the second officer, the bearded demon, over to do the operation. This couple has been in the industry for a long time. When they were doing planet development work, they even had to communicate with the indigenous people.

"Mr. Ginsu, you and your people should go there. Be sure to comfort those poor people."

Of course, if there is an extreme situation, he will need his group of Terrabi mercenaries to restore order.

"It would be nice if we could select some people with experience in operating ships." Feifei said: "Even if the ship is repaired, it is unrealistic for just a few of us to safely operate this huge ship."

"Didn't it go well just now?" Agnes asked.

"That's just good luck. In our current state, if we take a few destroyers, we will only get beaten. Do we still expect this computer to be able to fight?" Yu Lian sneered.

The second officer of Haita, who was helping Maozi and his wife connect to the slave cabin, hesitantly raised his hand and said cautiously: "I, the villain can still choose some candidates... I, I, just let my life go." , I am your humble slave! An unswerving slave!"

Yu Lian glanced at him coldly for a day, and the long-bearded monster suddenly did not dare to speak anymore.

"In short, if we solve the problem of manpower, everything will be solved." Yu Liandao.

"How to get the professional materials for ship repair? Most of the ship material warehouse has been blown up." Agnes was still worried.

Speaking of this, she still felt lingering fear. You know, if the empire's space-bubble torpedo was deflected by a few dozen meters, it would have detonated the ship's weapons depot. Although there is not much ammunition left in it, it is not a problem to explode by the way.

This ancient Meiya delinquent girl who only had a degree in a public high school on an edge planet probably met a famous teacher during this period. She was forced by the whip to master a lot of basic ship knowledge, and she could barely use it with two fingers. Some terminal equipment on the bridge. At least he can still be an ordinary bridge soldier A or something.

"There will always be a way." Yu Lian said.

"Well, you, Miss Fina, he..." Agnes became anxious and couldn't help but look at Fife for help.

"Well, there should be a way." Feifei looked at Yu Lian and smiled sweetly.

Later development was also very smooth. The poor people on the ship who fell into the hands of the predators for the second time, who had already been appointed, were overjoyed when they heard that the ship had fallen into the hands of active military officers on Earth.

Although it always feels a bit strange for a group of Terrabi mercenaries to appear here, it is enough.

Soon, an old man who looked to be in his sixties came to the bridge as a representative of the refugees to contact Yu Lian and his party. This is a gentle old man. Although he can't hide his fatigue and malnutrition, he is still in good spirits.

What surprised Yu Lian and Feifei was that although this old gentleman had slightly pointed ears and silver eyes like the Tirillo people, he also had black hair typical of East Asian men on Earth.

Needless to say, this is a hybrid of Earth and Tirero.

Of course, this old man was much more surprised than Yu Lian. It was already strange to have a group of Terrabi mercenaries on the ship, but now they were led by two Earthlings wearing Community uniforms.

The old man must have been used to strong winds and waves, so he introduced himself as Xie Yiwei, who used to be an engineer.

"Oh, Dr. Xie, I have long admired your name! You are still alive. This is the best news in this period." Yu Lian quickly held the old gentleman's hand and shook it vigorously.

This is no polite statement. Yu Lian really knows this old gentleman now.

This old gentleman immigrated to the Empire from Earth three generations ago, and his ancestors were all well-known navigators. He himself is also one of the designers of the famous Apocalypse Eagle destroyer.

More than a month ago, it was he who escaped from the Galactic Center with a group of refugees and accepted the asylum of the Lion's Den Fortress. Although now that I think about it, this successful escape might have been a conspiracy of the looters, but this has nothing to do with the refugees themselves. According to the empire's consistent style, after everything has settled, the empire will even award the old gentleman with medals and titles.

However, after King Su's army liberated the Lion's Den and the Far Country Star, Dr. Xie was not found among the local people, and they thought he might have died in the rebellion. So, even the funeral was put on the agenda.

When Yu Lian hung up on the bridge of the Dawn Angel, of course he listened to the whole process, and of course he also listened to the old gentleman's information.

"I can only say that the spirit of the universe still cares for the elderly, but unfortunately... many people do not have such good luck." Dr. Xie Yiwei showed a sad and bitter smile, but then said: "However, noble officials belong to the community. Officer, why are you here? May I ask, where is the army of the empire?"

A wise man who can lead a large group of refugees to escape from the center of the galaxy has a very keen sense of smell.

Yu Lian smiled and said: "To put it simply, a week ago I was a member of the community's military observation group. I followed His Royal Highness King Suliuka's army to defeat the plunderers, and made some small and insignificant contributions. However, later, I had some trouble with His Highness again, so I took some friends to go ahead. I happened to pass by here and grabbed the boat. "

The old man felt that this was too simple, but of course he didn't mind: "You are a frank gentleman."

He immediately said: "There are currently 427 refugees on the ship, 89 of whom are seriously ill and need medicine and medical cabins. Also, after everyone was kidnapped on this ship, they only had After a meal, most people are very weak and need to supplement their nutrition. As long as these are solved, we are willing to obey your orders."

Yu Lian smiled: "Can you help me check the current condition of the ship? If it needs repairs...it doesn't need to be completely restored, as long as the basic navigation and jump safety can be guaranteed. Let's see what materials and tools are needed. , make a list for me."

The old gentleman nodded with relief and went to work.

Sometimes, there is no need for commitment, and everything will come naturally.

When the old man took Feifei and the others to start work, Yu Lian directly lifted the blockade of the food and material warehouse, and wearing a heraldry machine, he led Ziferus in and killed seven in and seven out. After destroying all the hundreds of predator guards locked in the warehouse, the refugees who were still able to move were notified to come over and move their things.

The refugees who came to help looked at Yu Lian, who was like a god descending to earth, and then realized that they were really safe. Many people even knelt at Yu Lian's feet and cried loudly.

Looking at these miserable people who had been tortured so much, Yu Lian couldn't help but shoot into the sky again and ordered them not to kneel down.

"Are you really an officer of the community? Not an astral knight?" Of course Mr. Xie also saw all this through the surveillance camera and was puzzled.

When a person wears a heraldic machine, carries an atomic light spear, and has a dragon behind him, what else can he be but an Astral Knight?

Feifei smiled: "This situation is a little complicated. However, you just need to believe that we have no ill intentions towards you. When time permits, we will find a way to send you home."

Dr. Xie was jealous for a while, but he still held it back. He knows with rich experience that the more interesting the news is, the more it will not be a good thing to hear.

By this time, the battle over the warehouse was over. Everyone piled the corpses of the looters into piles and took them to the incinerator on small carts, and began to count the supplies.

There is indeed not much food and medicine left. Of course, the looters never had enough supplies in this area. However, this is based on the nearly 100,000 crew members originally present on the ship. If it were used by hundreds of people, it would really be a huge pile.

After being driven to an enemy ship and suffering hunger for half a month, the refugees finally had a full meal and were so happy that they wanted to cry. Of course, with the experienced Mr. Ginsu and his mercenaries watching from the side, there was no tragedy in which anyone ate too much in a hurry and was starved to death.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mr. Ginsu also tallied up the list.

There are 427 people in total, including citizens of various countries, and even more than 30 citizens of the Community.

Excluding those seriously ill ships that cannot be moved for the time being, there are a total of fifty-six people with experience in ship driving. Although they are all merchant ships, they are better than nothing. There are 251 mechanics. Of course, not everyone has repaired ships, but they all have experience with machines, and can at least be used as a starting point. More than 30 of them even have experience in space operations. In addition, there are twenty-four engineers, ten of whom are actually in the field of ship design, manufacturing and repair.

"Precious human resources" that can be taken away on ships by predators naturally have such gold content.

With the addition of these people, although it is impossible to restore all the functions of the ship, it can at least start working.

So, within two days, Dr. Xie gave me good news.

"I removed the usable armor plates and reinforced them at the central axis and bridge. Then I tried my best to fill the gaps at the rear with emergency recovery fluid. This can at least ensure that the entire hull will not be damaged during the next jump. fall apart."

"You see, as long as we have manpower, there won't be any problems." Yu Lian smiled.

"Yes, it's a matter of materials." Agnes said helplessly.

Yu Lian thought to himself that this girl's recent job was indeed too easy.
