Chapter 52: Asteroid Belt
The spear flew back.
At this moment, even the long-bearded man was a little surprised.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the Royal Glory has lost a lot of weight. The surface of this luxury cruise ship, which was originally graceful and luxurious, suddenly became pitted, and the large hull fell off directly.
Inside the Royal Glory, there was even more silence.
Everyone was stunned!
The hologram clearly shows that the entire hull of the ship has been stripped away.
Discard directly.
Because of the sudden weight reduction of almost one-sixth, the Royal Glory was able to accelerate in an instant, getting rid of the two Grim Reapers.
But that's not something to be happy about.
The outer shell of a spaceship is a compression-resistant shell, and it is by no means something that can be peeled off casually. Without this extremely hard alloy shell and energy shield, a meteor shower that may appear at any time in space would make the entire spaceship full of holes in an instant.
The pressure-resistant hull takes up one-sixth of the ship's weight, and for good reason, it is not enough to withstand all kinds of accidents in space. Especially when the subspace acceleration jump, without a strong enough hull, the spaceship will be crushed into an iron plate by the strong space pressure.
"Crazy?"
In a moment, Governor Gregory roared and shouted directly into the hologram.
He couldn't get out, the cafeteria had been automatically blocked by the computer, and the energy gun was still hanging over his head, but the Governor completely ignored it.
Inferior people, shoot if you want to, I'm not afraid of you!
"We're going to die in a meteor shower!"
Further on, there is the famous Lear asteroid belt. There, the most common is a meteor shower, which can appear at any time.
Zhang Tianjiu ignored Governor Gregory, and directly issued a new order: "Attention to the people of the fourth and sixth concentration points, immediately move to the nearest third and seventh concentration points." We're going to rebuild the compression-resistant shell!"
"What? What rebuilt compression-resistant shell?"
Everyone couldn't help but look at the little stars.
What kind of mess is this?
"If you don't understand, shut up Lao Tzu!"
Dead bald heads are always so rude and uncultured. Dare to shout at the big nobles who are full of ships.
"This cruise ship uses the hull of a medium-sized military transport ship, with a sealed cabin design. We can rebuild the compression-resistant shell by freeing up all the outer chambers and filling them with a large amount of inert gas. ”
Zhang Tianjiu immediately announced his plan.
Everyone looked at each other and saw the brilliance in each other's eyes!
Good way!
At present, spacecraft are designed with double-layer compression-resistant shells and sealed cabins in order to withstand the strong space pressure and the ubiquitous meteor showers in space during subspace jumps.
Zhang Tianjiu wanted to replace the inner shell with the inner shell and replace the inner shell with a sealed cabin.
If it succeeds, it will be a good remedy.
It's just that no one has ever tried this.
Who would be crazy enough to peel off their own pressure-resistant shell in space?
This bald guy seems to be rude, but in fact he is not brutal at all, and every step is carefully calculated. Although he took a bit of a risk, he has to admit that in the current crisis situation, he has taken the most effective measures.
At least he managed to shake off his pursuers.
"Senior brother, I can't help it!"
The hideous man on the chariot was so angry that his nose was crooked.
Just now, he was tantamount to being tricked by Zhang Tianjiu. These ants dare to play tricks in front of him, which is unbearable. You must know that he is a powerful monk of the level of an archmage, and his disciples and grandchildren have an advantage in the face of technological people and ants, not to mention his ancestral master.
Who knew that the two archmages of them couldn't catch up with a civilian spaceship.
If this is going to get out, it must not become a laughing stock of fellow believers?
The hideous man made up his mind, desperately lost a lot of aura, and also accelerated again, he must catch up with that boat, and use the bloody facts to teach the ants on the ship, who is the master of this world!
"Wait, there's the Lear asteroid belt not far ahead, and they can't get through. The ship's compression-resistant hull has been lost. ”
The long-bearded man was noticeably much calmer.
It is absolutely unwise to overuse aura in this wild place that has not undergone any transformation, it needs to consume a large amount of source stones, and if you don't do it, it will hurt yourself and affect the progress of your cultivation.
Is it necessary to pay such a big price for such a broken ship and those ants on board?
Don't say they won't be able to break through the asteroid belt, even if they do, that's nothing.
It's not worth it to be furious about it.
The hideous man seemed to be in awe of this senior brother, and only snorted lightly when he heard this, but did not say anything more.
"Report to the captain, the enemy is still following us, the relative speed is minus fifty kilometers per second, and in half an hour, the two sides will contact again......"
The navigator meticulously reported.
"Hmph, half an hour is enough, by that time, Lao Tzu has already entered the asteroid belt, and if you are brave enough, you will continue to chase and kill. ”
Everyone's face is like earth again.
"Captain, really, really going to break into the asteroid belt?"
Once again, the real captain couldn't help but remind.
Just with the current ghost appearance of Royal Glory, you dare to enter the asteroid belt?
Not even a compression-resistant shell.
Although Zhang Tianjiu just said that he would build another compression-resistant shell, there is no precedent for this kind of thing, and it remains to be said whether it can be successful. What is the difference between such a ship rushing into the asteroid belt without hesitation, and a naked lamb being thrown into a pack of wolves?
What a rhythm of mortality!
Zhang Tianjiu's face was full of surprise, as if he thought the captain's question was so stupid.
"It has to be. Breaking through the asteroid belt and taking the jump passage is the only way for us to survive. If you want to make a detour, you will definitely be caught up by the monks. If we are caught up by him, we will not be so lucky. ”
"But if we break into the asteroid belt like this, nine times out of ten, we will die!"
Left and right are dead, stoned to death by a meteor shower, and being blown up by a monk, what's the difference?
"You don't want to go into the asteroid belt?"
"It's dangerous......"
The captain muttered.
"Yes. Let's go, pick a random rescue pod, eject it, and wait for rescue!"
Zhang Tianjiu's voice was cold.
The captain immediately fell silent.
This dead bald head is completely unreasonable. He suspected that if he dared to be crooked, the bald guy would unceremoniously throw him out.
Time flies, and the Lear asteroid belt is soon in sight.
"Captain, the pursuers are accelerating again, and the relative speed is ......"
"Rush in!"
Without waiting for the navigator to finish speaking, Zhang Tianjiu had already interrupted him without hesitation.
The luxury cruise ship, which had been slimmed, rushed straight into the dense asteroid belt like a bolt of lightning.
There was another scream in the spaceship.
The Lear asteroid belt is not naturally formed, but acquired.
It was originally a resource planet, but due to over-exploitation and the abuse of high-yield mining explosives, the whole planet eventually fell apart and became such an asteroid belt.
Legend has it that the Lear asteroid belt was particularly evil, and because of the sudden explosion, many mining workers did not have time to evacuate, and as a result, they became the martyrs of Lear. This asteroid belt is filled with a large number of unjust souls.
Any vehicle that rushes into the asteroid belt is usually hit by a large number of meteor showers.
That speed, even a tiny meteor shower, is enough to pose the deadliest threat. Often, there are vehicles that get into trouble in the Lear asteroid belt, and even crash in the sand, leaving them in this strange asteroid belt forever.
"Continue to lighten the load and throw away all the things that shouldn't be!"
Zhang Tianjiu gave the order again.
From the time the load was reduced to the present, the weight of the entire ship has been reduced by almost a third.
This is definitely a very remarkable statistic.
In other words, except for the passengers who did not lose it, almost everything else that could be lost was lost.
But Zhang Tianjiu was still not satisfied, he hoped that the Royal Glory could be lighter, more agile and faster. As long as the two evil stars behind him are not shaken off for a moment, his heart will not be at peace for a moment.
No one wanted to resist the bald captain's orders.
Regardless, he's managed to bring the whole ship here, and it's said that there is a so-called semi-mature jump tunnel hidden in the asteroid belt, which can completely get rid of the pursuers.
There was nothing else to do but cooperate, but to pray.
The next hour of the voyage is a time to witness the miracle.
The meteor showers in the Lear Asteroid Belt are famous, almost everywhere and all the time, but the sheer size of the ship manages to avoid them every time. It seems that this is not a medium transport ship that can carry a fully armed infantry division, but a patrol gunboat of small tonnage. Its driving skills are truly breathtaking.
Others don't think that the cockpit people, captains, navigators, etc., are all dumbfounded.
Who the hell is this bald head?
You must know that although the military is mostly inferior, in the space fleet, inferior people, especially people of the fourth caste, are absolutely not allowed to come into contact with such a key link as warship driving. Dong Qianqian's ability to become the deputy head of power of the Royal Glory is already a miracle among miracles. But no matter how talented he is, he can't be a pilot, let alone a captain.
Even the captain of a civilian ship, it is impossible.
This is an area absolutely controlled by the superior people, and the inferior people are absolutely not allowed to set foot in it.
But this bald head not only knows how to drive, but also drives a huge and clumsy oil tanker into the style of a gunboat!
The most important thing is that he did all the driving alone, and he didn't call anyone to assist.
What kind of monster is this?
Could it be that he is not an inferior person, but just looks like a Changnan person, so it caused everyone's misunderstanding?
"Attention, everyone, fasten your seatbelts, and prepare to enter the subspace jump ......"
In the hologram, Zhang Tianjiu's quiet voice sounded.
Everyone scrambled to start fastening their seatbelts.
A moment later, the spacecraft slammed into a slam, the six engines stopped at the same time, the lights went out, the emergency lights came on, and a strange light flashed outside the porthole......
Enter the subspace jump channel.
