The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Only the one piloted by Yuka was hit by the shock wave. Now the Talon-class interceptor ship is slowly floating in the universe. The light radar array outside the hull has been completely blown away, and the side facing the shock wave has been seen. It's no longer what it used to be.It was like being strangled by a file on the face, all the armor plates were peeled off, and the internal structure was also melted by the high heat caused by the impact.

But fortunately, the communication system is still intact.

[The shield is overloaded and the armor layer is seriously damaged.] Serval's floating lotus is sitting in the hydrostatic cabin, looking at the warnings all over her eyes, she is stunned. She didn't expect her perfect jump this time to jump directly into the shock wave. In front of [but the core part is fully functional, and its power is slightly higher than that of the three-dimensional bomb. Fortunately, a damage control system is installed, otherwise it will explode directly. 】

Most of the time, the hydrostatic cabin is actually an excellent 'cockpit' rather than an 'escape pod'. They usually cannot guarantee that the pilot can escape the battleship that is gradually exploding-they have weak shields and armor. Weak, they will die with a light touch, and their owners generally don't care if they can escape.

With this in mind, Yuka didn't rush to eject the hydrostatic cabin, but opened the drone pod that was still intact, and released the drone with the camera.Seeing that her boat had become like this, she seemed a little nervous and couldn't help wagging her tail.

"Tell me, what hit you?" Kaban asked.

Serval looked at the last collected data and said while thinking:

[A shock wave... I know it's strange to say this, but it is indeed like this, mainly composed of a layer of high-energy particles, accelerated by some kind of space distortion method... Uh, a particle shock wave?It's like the S bomb in "Soul ○ Luo".It has extremely strong kinetic energy damage, but if it is regarded as a particle cannon, it seems that the confinement efficiency is very low. When it hit me, the particles had already dissipated and the density was very low. 】

Although the cat speaks hesitantly and with confused logic, Xiao Bao, who has been with Yuka day and night, still understands what she means.

If this kind of attack is to be realized, a layer of particle cover must be added in front of the warp bubble... But isn't this tantamount to suicide?

"Maybe it's not an attack." Xiao Bao felt that he had found a blind spot, "Send me the data received by the energy sensor just now."

【Yes! 】

She closed her eyes, imported these data into her brain, and looked at the scene when the energy shock occurred from the most intuitive perspective——

The energy of that ship gradually climbed, and then stopped, the first half of the warp bubble was thrown at a relatively fast speed, and Yuka's ship happened to be within the coverage area...

Emmmm......

Others on the bridge saw an embarrassed expression on Xiao Bao's face, and when she opened her eyes, those eyes became like dead fish.

Totally, by accident?

"Xiao Bao? Did you find anything?"

"I'll explain the details later," Xiaobao stood up, pressed a few times on the control panel, and the data tube cable behind his neck fell off with a soft sound. "The other party is not hostile, this is an accident."

"Eh?"

It seems that other people haven't fully reacted yet, the animal ears and tails are dangling, very Japari style.

Although I really want to catch it, but now is not the time to do this kind of thing.

"The opponent has ended the warp speed state, and the ship has stopped. Are you going to capture it?"

She waved her hand and replied:

"No capture required. Let the Resist and Defiance go next to her, and that'll be enough to hold the field. Get the shuttle ready."

"Do you want to board the ship?"

"That's right," she waved at the dolphin's lotus seed, "Bai, you will operate Pollux after I set off."

"En!" Bai stood up, saluted seriously, and his chest swayed slightly with her movements.That's enough weight to make the leader of a certain underworld-style special force pissed off, "Xiaobao wants to go there in person?"

"Of course." Xiao Bao took off his captain's uniform, walked to the wall next to the bridge wearing only a layer of tights, and pressed a few times on the operation panel.

The wall unfolded, revealing the gantry inside, which was a power armor tailor-made for her.

"After all, it is the first contact between civilizations, we have to take it seriously."

At this time, on the bridge of Settler No. [-], the settlers who thought they had caused a catastrophe trembled as they watched the flashes of transitions appearing constantly around them.

Those flying over were all small ships, and those rusty spaceships with a large number of photovoltaic panels looked like Indian fish and giant whales compared to Settler [-].But Captain Mooreston had no doubt that these little things could easily tear Settler [-] to pieces.

After all, no matter how small these ships are, they are flying faster than light. The forts on them are small, but no matter how small they are, they are alien technology!They can sail faster than the speed of light. Will the weapon system be worse?

"It's over, it's over..." Captain Mooreston sighed in a low voice, his eyes kept moving back and forth between the pile of semi-molten steel in the distance and the small warships wandering around. "Did you actually hit it?"

"As you can see..." The navigator took over the conversation, his face full of the expression of the end of the world, "It's a solid hit."

If it follows the development in the old movie, it is when the two sides contacted, the stupid human fired the first shot, the enraged aliens fought with humans, easily slaughtered the human army, and stuffed ordinary people into giant machines The inside is used as a biocomputer, and the world loses its future.

What's even more painful is that there is not even a 'human army' here, only a small and pitiful but very large unarmed colonial ship.

Mooreston picked up the communicator:

"Engineering Department, can you hear me?"

[Listen,] The chief engineer already guessed what the captain wanted to say as soon as he picked up the communication. Even if he just woke up from hibernation, he knew that his idea would not be realized [If you want to ask if you can start warp now Run away, I can only tell you no. 】

"Tsk... how long will it take to restart?"

[The system is still dissipating heat, it will take at least four to ten minutes. 】

Four 10 minutes?How can four 10 minutes work?It will take less than four or 10 minutes for these little things to dismantle the ship, and if the shell is seriously damaged, even if the ship is not sunk, no one will dare to let the ship jump. Will something happen?

A drop of cold sweat slid down Mooreston's face, and he said hastily:

"If you work hard..."

[Sorry, there is nothing we can do. ] But the chief engineer broke his unrealistic fantasy [This is not a movie, how could it be possible to squeeze it from 10 minutes to 10 minutes with a little effort? 】

"Well……"

At this moment, two beams of light that were much larger than before lit up within ten kilometers, one on the left and the other on the right clamped settler No. [-].A few seconds later, two battleships that looked bigger than the settlers ended the jump with awe-inspiring momentum, and blue energy lightning jumped on the armor surface, which was a dangerous beauty.

The rust-colored hull is like a standing cliff, and the huge photovoltaic panels (fog) are unfolded like sails.Mooreston looked at the turret rising from under the armor, and murmured:

"Good guy... It's not enough to press down to 10 minutes."

Looking at those cannons, it must have been sunk after a single salvo.

【What's wrong? 】The chief engineer asked without knowing why.

A wry smile appeared on Mooreston's face:

"It's a big ship, and it's a battleship. And, it's sending signals to us."

The large searchlights on the sides of the two ships were flashing regularly.

The small bag closed the visor, the slender viewfinder flashed red, and the screen inside the visor showed a clear external scene, and the propellants of the attitude control devices all over the body had been replenished.After seeing two Fury-class battleships jumping in, she asked:

"It didn't restart, did it?"

"Well, their main propellers have stopped working, and the whole ship is at a standstill." A lotus seed replied, "Ah, they are responding to our light signal."

"The lights on both sides are flashing at each other... It's embarrassing to watch." She couldn't help covering her forehead, and then beckoned, "Come here, a few people, ready to board the ship with me."

"Yes!"

A few minutes later, Xiaobao jumped out of the hatch with the entourage, and the propulsion backpack on her back sprayed out blue propulsion flames, and she rushed into the deep universe like falling.

For a beginner in the universe, space makes it difficult to grasp the distance between objects. Without the refraction of air, distant objects will clearly appear to be close at hand, and even magnificent warships will become like Models are just as unreal.For this reason, ordinary space fighter pilots have been told from the very beginning that they must pay attention to instruments at all times and keep a sufficient safe distance from various floating objects.

Even if the lotus seeds are already veterans, they can't be overwhelmed in this situation—after all, this set of power armor has a high thrust-to-weight ratio, and there is no planetary gravity and atmospheric resistance, and if you are not careful, you will be knocked out in a few seconds. The speed is too high, and the distance of tens of kilometers can be rushed over in a few seconds.If you accidentally fail to control the relative speed and try to forcibly land on the surface of the ship, you will end up with the tragic end of smashing into the armor.

Accidentally knocked to death during training, at most it was just a few days of ridicule by classmates. At the beginning, there were as many salted fish that were killed.But when the civilization first came into contact with it, I slapped my head to death on the face of the boat... Then I didn't laugh for a few days. I am afraid that every time I mention this civilization, I will be pulled out to laugh once.

If it was a civilization with a higher level of technology, Kaban would try to drive the shuttle into the Ganaku, and this one she wasn't sure her shuttle could get in--but there must be a door that someone could go in, right?

She approached this giant ship carefully, observing the crystallization of this alien civilization from a close distance.Energy detectors showed that the ship was not equipped with nano-armor and had no permanent shield, and the internal energy pipeline could be scanned even from the outside.The design is rough and primitive. From the perspective of Tartarus, no matter how you look at it, this ship should not be used.

But they not only used it, they sailed the ship, God knows how long and how long.

Just looking at it, I feel an inexplicable touch spontaneously.Through this crude hull, what Xiao Bao sees is not only the almost undisguised energy reactions, but also the spirit of this civilization's intention to open up the universe and forge ahead.

It's just...a little rushed.The principle of haste makes waste can also be vividly reflected in the development of the universe.If the situation is not particularly urgent, it is better to hold back the super-light speed navigation method first and then open up the universe.

However, they may firmly believe that [the speed of light cannot be surpassed], so maybe they haven't thought about and researched in that direction at all.

After a successful exchange, Tartarus should be able to help them.

This ship is obviously not a battleship, because a battleship will not have so many portholes.She flew past the ship at close range, and from the portholes of the hull, she saw many faces, and those faces were no different from the ones she knew well. If the expressions were similar, it meant that everyone was wary of herself. and fear.

It's the same when I think about it... After all, that kind of thing happened just now, and now they must be afraid of revenge from the vicious aliens.

However, we are friendly space beings who came for peace. (nod)

"Mooreston! Look!" On the bridge, Albatier pointed to the lotus seeds flying around outside the porthole, and said, "It's aliens!"

Fortunately, they were just flying around outside, and did not attack the more vulnerable portholes, nor bombarded Settler [-] with naval guns, which made Mooreston feel a little more at ease.

"So agile, only relying on a space suit?" He exclaimed, "It's amazing."

Settler [-] was equipped with a poorly made space suit, with a bloated body and extremely difficult-to-control attitude control, which made it impressive every time it was worn.Before, he passed through this when he was awakened by the AI ​​to repair the external sensor. He could only rely on the safety rope to connect, which was extremely inconvenient to move around, and the oxygen inside could only move outside for less than an hour.

It's like swimming in the boundless deep sea. If you throw it out and don't pull it back, you will get lost in the turbulent flow of the distorted space and drift in the universe forever.

So Mooreston was terrified of being outside in a space suit, but the nimbleness of these aliens, reminiscent of floating fish's graceful posture in the air, made him want to go out too.

He smiled and said:

"Like the Flame Wings."

Flame Wing... Hearing this name, no matter how tense the atmosphere on the bridge was, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.This is their childhood superhero, a warrior with flames spraying from his back, who punishes evil and promotes good all over the world, and his active posture makes all the children applaud in front of the TV.

Judging from the appearance, it really looks like these aliens outside.

"Huh, Snider," Albadier grinned, "but now the Snidgets are probably going to ask us why we attacked their spaceship."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the alien outside, keeping relatively still with the ship, and beckoned.

"Is he... greeting us?"

"Hey! Flame Wing! The door is over there!" Mooreston also waved at him, "Open the No. [-] cabin door."

"What? Let them in?"

"Look at those cannons. If we don't open the door to let them in, they'll dig themselves in." Mooreston shrugged. "Listen to me, open the door!"

Outside, a floating lotus seed said in surprise:

"Really! You can open the door with a wave of your hand! These aliens are really good at understanding!"

"Sure enough, they can communicate," another gestured triumphantly. "That's great."

"It looks like an enterprising civilization. The boss will be very happy."

"But they seemed intimidated."

"After all, the fury-class battleship looks very majestic."

Xiaobao didn't respond, because she felt that the other party probably didn't think so, and it definitely didn't mean she had strong comprehension... After she waved in front of the porthole on a whim, the hatch on the ship's side actually opened, no matter what I guess it's just a coincidence.

perhaps. (cover face)

To be honest, when the two civilizations first came into contact, no matter what the mutuality between the two sides was, people’s understanding was like a charade.And it is only after taking that decisive step that one can really have a formal conversation——
