The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

And now, both of them have noticed the sudden appearance of the Orange Label information.

"……Meow?"

【What's wrong? 】

"The Exploration and Development Department reported that a scientific research ship has lost contact." Oregana frowned, and she gestured, "Liu Lizi, please go down the mountain."

"Okay!" The leopard rolled up his sleeves, put his boss on his shoulders, grabbed his hands with his left hand, and his legs with his right hand, fixed them firmly, and then jumped down from the mountain—if the physique is not good enough, this time People are gone.

But the Skullmaker is still the Great Demon of Khorne, and the cricket can't be killed with a low-profile muscle attack. After being thrown into the car down the mountain, she went on after a short period of dizziness:

"The rescue team has now rushed to the space domain before the scientific research ship lost contact."

It is actually very common for a scientific research ship to lose contact—a scientific research ship spends most of its time sailing in places without any infrastructure. Just like those navigators who sailed around in sailboats in the past.In view of the high risk, and the fact that explorers and scientists are valuable talents, the scientific research ships produced by the Development Department are all military-standard configurations, and even the hulls are directly the hulls of Tartarus' battleships. This is exactly what everyone protects. The expression of talent.

Excellent spaceship, plus the communication is very bad, so it is not particularly worrying for a scientific research ship to be out of contact for a long time.But no matter how well-prepared, accidents are inevitable. Therefore, the Development Department has a special rescue force to help those expedition crew members who are determined to be in distress when necessary—such as receiving a clear distress signal.

And this time, although there was no clear distress signal, because the scientific research ship named Tsiolkovsky suddenly lost contact during the communication process of reporting the discovery, it was only known that there was an important discovery and no information was given. Hear exactly what was found.Uneasy about this, the Development Department dispatched a search and rescue team, hoping to reconnect with the expedition team.

Judging from the mission report, the Dark Angel will assist the rescue team in carrying out this search and rescue mission, and the missing scientific research ship must be found soon.It is estimated that most of them were digging graves and bombings again, and they are lying in place at the moment.

Thinking of this, Oregana turned her attention to the next message——

[The leader of the small pack of the Gapari battle group hopes to get 2700 units of G elements to test the new electromagnetic projection weapon ([-]mm ultra-high-speed rail gun)]

"Do you want permission?"

"I don't have that many G element reserves, so I don't allow it." (No emotion)

————————————————————————

When he woke up, Captain Yang Sili felt that he could not see anything with his eyes... At first he thought he was blind, but soon found that his eyes were just covered by something.Something was flickering in the blackness of nothingness, flickering after another, gathering and squirming like bubbles.He suddenly jumped up from the ground, grabbed his eyes - the thing on it, and yanked it off.

It was a handful of melting, throbbing flesh.It was trembling in the air, with countless small mouths forming a W shape and making a meowing sound, then jumped off the hands and fell to the ground, turning into an orange and black tiger-striped fur with a body It's a spider, a strange creature with a cat's head and claws.It ran around the table twice, then sauntered to lie down on the keyboard on the console, tucked its front legs under its body, yawned =w= and fell asleep.

"?!"

This is a subspace creature, although very fragile, but it is indeed a genuine subspace creature.There is only one reason for this kind of thing to appear in the bridge, and that is that the outer shields have begun to break down.Unprotected spaceships are extremely dangerous to sail in subspace, he immediately took out his pistol to kill the monster, but there was already nothing at the location where the gun pointed.

It disappeared as if it had never been there.

Yang Sili could hardly catch his breath. He desperately searched for the alien, but in the blink of an eye, he was still lying on the ground.He was taken aback by the cold floor and the rough texture of his face—was that just a dream?

He jumped up and almost landed on the control panel, the shield failure alarm was blaring.Yang Sili frantically restarted the shield recharger, and after a few seconds, the alarm stopped.

"Damn... um..."

Yang Sili tried his best to adjust his breathing rate to calm himself down. Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a stain resembling a cat's paw print on the corner of the control panel—just as he was about to take a closer look, an indistinct voice rang in his ear up:

"Woo... head buzzing..."

It was the navigator, Ansari Wind, stuck between the desk and chair, with a hangover-like pained expression on her face.

But... that set of tables and chairs is in the canteen, but this is the bridge... Think about it carefully, everyone was in the canteen when the accident happened before, why is he lying on the bridge now?What happened during the period when I passed out?

He couldn't figure it out at all, so he could only quickly drag his subordinates out from under the table:

"Are you still alive?" Captain Yang Sili patted her on the cheek vigorously because there was no need to pity her. "Wake up! Wake up! It's an emergency!"

He saw her eyelids move slightly, counted down to three in his heart, and then raised his head suddenly—a punch from the old ZAFT soldier just passed by his forehead, and he would have to be hit up.Having been with him for a long time has allowed him to grasp the behavior of this unstable (referring to behavior) regulator, which can reduce the amount of trouble.

But after all, it was the adjuster. After sitting there for a few seconds, she immediately realized:

"Are there unexploded bombs in there? Or large-scale empty mines?"

"It's worse than that. Sit in your seat and guide us." Yang Sili sweated a little on his forehead, which was very conspicuous under the bridge lighting. Shield Missing Alert."

Hearing this, the navigator Ansari's eyes flickered. She sat in her seat, and frowned after taking a look:

"We are now in an unconfirmed subspace corridor, and we don't know where we are drifting. Collecting space data! Positioning...failed." She looked back at the captain, "Unable to locate, we are drifting between worlds. Yes Level [-] trek, we are finished..."

There was a sense of despair in her eyes.

The Ministry of Consolidation divides the trek into three levels. The first-level trek is a regular space trek, which refers to the trek that you are still in the material universe. This is usually because the jump engine or the delivery system fails and you are thrown into an unfamiliar space. Lost contact, at this time, you can usually go back by calculating the route in reverse, or wait for rescue on the spot, which is a non-dangerous 'lost'.

The second-level trek refers to the trek in which the ship strays into an abnormal space. It may be due to the physical influence caused by a special celestial body, or the failure of the jump engine causes it to launch a different space in situ.At this time, it is basically impossible to escape by self-reliance, but you can still wait for rescue in place.

The third level of trek - that is, warp space trek is another matter entirely.The most notable feature of subspace is that it is eternal and ever-changing. It is formed by random, unorganized pure energy and purposeless consciousness. Here, the concept of time is ambiguous, and space is even more chaotic. The more you are freed from the constraints of physics.Normal transitions and navigating in subspace corridors are not a big problem, but as long as you get in and lose your exact position... then no one knows what will happen.

You may leave the subspace in the next second and go to a new world; you may also float back to your hometown after a month; you may find that the material universe has passed 800 years when you leave; The door of the material warehouse is inexplicably connected to the tatami of a Fusang elementary school student on the earth. There is also a blue debu civet cat robot in their home, and they can pull them together to defeat the black-hearted capitalists who want to break their hometown into a broken star for mining.

Anything is possible, but the greater possibility is that the materials are exhausted and trapped in the subspace, or the shield fails, the hull is eroded, and the subspace creatures swarm into the hull and kill everyone... This is like an ultimate Terrible wheel of fortune, it has almost infinite slots and looks like it's going to die no matter what.

But is it right to give up like this?Even if you know that the chances are slim, at least there is still a little chance. If you give up now, you will really lose everything—in the subspace, people's emotions will be magnified, and the collapse of morale may only take a moment.

Yang Sili didn't want to do this. He not only hoped to return safely, but also returned home in good condition - he also wanted to find out what happened and what he discovered before.He didn't want to lose hope, float in this psychedelic place forever, and finally become an indescribably miserable existence. Before despair arose, other emotions were already burning like wildfire:

"Don't be discouraged! It's not that time yet! Don't be dazed! Launch the beacon!" He looked at the sad or desperate faces of the people on the bridge, raised his right hand to aim at his forehead, and lined up his sword with spirit injection Type "one every ten seconds, semi-permanent transmission mode! Launch now! We have to let the Coordination Department know our location! Fire control officer! Check weapons and equipment! Damage control squad, report the situation to me immediately! Everyone executes Order!!"

A captain must have the morale that can activate the morale of the whole crew at any time - Yang Sili knows that this is difficult, and he is not sure whether he can do it.But at least under his command, the whole ship moved again.Beacons were sent out one by one, quietly emitting signals disguised as tides of warp energy in the warp, like a long string of dim palace lanterns.

PS2: The matter is over, the recovery day will be updated tomorrow

Chapter 1188 Chapter 207: If people are unlucky, drinking cold water will clog their teeth

Fire controller Ananievich Medvedev rolled out of his bunk after hearing the first sirens.He has served on the starship for many years, running and shuttling relies entirely on instinct.The feet have not yet touched the ground, but the person is already fully awake and alert, and the brain is nervously judging the situation.The alarm bell rang again, echoing inside the battleship.Two short whistles, repeated again and again, were the alarms in place, at least not under direct attack.

As he ran, he got dressed and squeezed a little honey into his mouth from a sealed tube on the table - just like his last name (Medvedev means 'bear'), he likes something sweet, this Keeping him awake during stressful times, like this one.After arriving at the bridge, he immediately received the order:

"Fire controller! Check weapons and equipment!"

"understand!"

Judging from the surrounding data list and space parameters, the ship is at a certain position in the subspace, and the rest is incomprehensible.

What's the matter?Wasn't he still investigating before? Because of this, I, a useless idler in the investigation, can sleep peacefully in the dormitory... But this time I can't ask, the captain is very busy now, emergency situation You must focus on your own work - to be honest, it doesn't matter whether you know what happened, as long as the captain knows what happened and gives orders, and the others obey the orders and work hard, then everyone can go home.

Like most conventional scientific research ships, the Tsiolkovsky also uses the hull of a disaster-class battleship, which gives them solid protection capabilities and a powerful energy core.Thanks to the layout method of the new power core, compared with the original model, the Tsiolkovsky, as the fourth-generation heavy scientific research ship, has better survival and combat capabilities in harsh environments.

Five on each side, ten battleship-class main guns in total, eight sets of multifunctional launch systems capable of launching missiles and probes, and six 4x4 vertical launch arrays have become the main firepower configuration of the fourth-generation heavy scientific research ship—— It is the combat capability of quasi-battleship level.Generally speaking, an expedition ship does not need such things as firepower, but after being connected to the report of a large hostile cosmic creature, the scientific research team got a higher firepower authority... Les Kerry Star The fixed-point observation scientific research ship "Free Star" was involved in the battle between the space amoeba and the Tiyankai void whale and almost escaped. This incident hastened the implementation of a series of more radical new policies.

However, most of the time, there is no opportunity to use these artillery pieces. The fire control officer can be said to be the most leisurely person on the entire ship, and is often joked that he is "employer".

After connecting to the system, Ananievich Medvedev couldn't help swallowing—the situation seemed to be worse than he imagined, and he even suspected that the ship was under attack:

"The secondary gun responded intact, and the structural loss of the No. [-] main gun. The multifunctional launch systems No. [-] to No. [-] and the missile launch array No. [-] to No. [-] responded intact, and the No. [-] multifunctional launch system suffered a structural loss."

But Yang Sili remained calm:

"What about the laser drill and the blaster?"

"Very good...but why are you asking me? That's a matter for the engineering team."

"Because they are yours now."

The function of laser drills and blasters is to collect the internal ore of large or super-large asteroids. Although the power is not low, because their functions are classified as engineering equipment, they are managed by the engineering team—but they can also be used when necessary. Used as a weapon, although it may not be so suitable...

But on the other hand, since this kind of thing is already needed as a weapon, it means that the situation is really bad.

"?" Medvedev suppressed his anxiety, focused his attention on his work, and said loudly, "Understood!"

"Damage control team?"

【The number three reactor is still not fully operational, we only have 60.00% of its maximum output.With low operating rates of stealth devices, we may not have a way to mask gravitational responses. ] The engineer who was busy inside the hull said in the communication——From the communication screen, it can be seen that they are trying to repair the hole in the hull [There is a big hole in the fifth area of ​​the rear hull, and we are repairing... About 5 Can be done in minutes. 】

Yang Sili nodded secretly, and the hull was indeed damaged—this may be the origin of that strange dream. Losing protection in the subspace, just having a dream is already a good result, although the Tartarians have many High warp resistance, but not others.He rubbed the little cat's claw-like stain on the control panel and couldn't help but wonder if it was really just a dream?

But now is not the time to think about:

"What about the others? Conventional radar and optical camouflage?"

[The operation is normal, and the operation can be resumed after the hole is repaired. 】

"good news."

At least in this way, he won't be blown into a mental retardation as soon as he goes out.

"Lieutenant Kashiwagi!" he called to the captain of his security force.

On almost every starship with a military background, there is an armed force whose size and name vary according to the tasks it performs.On the scientific research ship, they are called "security", and the number is two teams (Tartaros, that is, 20 people). In some landing sampling tasks, they are protected by these strong people Those weak scientists.

But now their situation is not good.

[Two storage boxes have melted into the wall and we are trying to pry them out.Inside those are anti-armor weapons, without which we'd just have standard weapons. 】

"If we really can't figure it out, we need the engineering team to help. The speed is fast, and we may need to drive away some enemies who forcibly boarded the ship!"

【clear! 】

Navigator Ansari Wind looked at the captain who sat back on the captain's seat and took out a water glass to replenish water and asked:

"You look nervous?"

"Well, we may meet the BETA fleet as soon as we finish drifting." Yang Sili looked calm, but the knuckles holding the cup turned white, and he lowered his voice, "Do you know how the G element came from?"

Ansari swallowed his saliva - no one knew about this, the series of events that started with the Katari VIP ship incident was the early experience of the Consolidation Department's contact with the G element.Because of BETA's expected combat power and the intrusion of the dark worms, it turned into a big melee, and finally forced the Consolidation Department, which was not strong enough at that time, to close its doors and run away.

Something similar to the G element is detected, so what is the probability of BETA appearing?At the time of the Katari VIP ship incident, even if the entire team of Tartarus marines broke into the attacked spaceship, the damage to the personnel was so great that it was frightening.And even if all the people on this ship were armed, they would not be able to compete head-on with any Marine Corps of Tartarus. If they were attacked by BETA, the ship would turn into a steel coffin for everyone.

And BETA is not limited to the Marine Corps - the current strength of the Consolidation Department will certainly not be afraid of the BETA fleet. As a result of another confrontation, only BETA will become a deflated tower. .

But there is no other way for anyone here except to face it-the most important thing people learn on the battlefield is that all you can do is prepare for everything and go all out, and after that it is life or death, yes Win or lose... Just wait until you survive.

"Relax, nervousness is useless." Ansari also lowered his voice, "I'll tell you some good news—let's get everyone ready, the stability of space has increased. We should be approaching a material universe, about 5 minutes later Enter conventional space, Captain."

"Are you not afraid now?"

"As long as you don't get lost in the warp," Ansari replied, "I used to be a soldier, and fighting is a daily routine for me."

"Hmph! What does the guy whose main combat experience is fighting with the driver say?"

"Hey you..."

Before Ansari retorted, Yang Sili had already stood up: "Everyone pay attention! Covert posture! When we enter the regular space, I don't want to attract attention."

The display screen was covered in black one after another, and the calm black of the universe background replaced the grotesque and strange Party A colors in the subspace, and dots of stars came into their sight.A beautiful turquoise planet came into view—less than five light-seconds away, which is pretty close.

That's a good thing - if there's BETA here, there won't be a lot of green on the planet.There will be no such things as green vegetation left on the planets attacked by BETA. They are like fully automatic terrain levelers, directly flattening everything on the surface, and turning the entire planet into a particularly huge airport.

"Communication detected! There is a very intelligent civilization here..." the correspondent said, "This is... Eden?"
