112 Great Expectations (12)
Xiaoxi picked up the water cup and took a sip, but before he could swallow it, Ji Ran walked down from the upper floor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
From top to bottom, he was dressed in a silver suit with a silver mask covering his face.
He was tall and straight, and walked unhurriedly, but he soon came to the stream.
He said to her, "Let's go!"
He didn't even pause, and walked out the door.
On the small lawn outside the villa, a flying machine was already parked.
Xiaoxi hurriedly put down the water glass and followed Ji behind.
Like a brisk swallow, the aircraft quickly carried the two of them to the spaceship base.
As soon as they arrived above the spaceship base, hundreds of spaceships were taking off, and Ji Ran's aircraft took two people directly into the belly of a spaceship.
After disembarking from the aircraft and walking through a passage, there is an internal passage car that takes them to the ship's control center.
Ji Ran got off the spaceship, threw Xiaoxi on the periphery of the control center, and entered the core control room by himself.
Everyone in the control center has a professional division of labor, and they have probably worked together many times before.
And she didn't know what she was here for, but everyone saw that she was the person brought by the commander-in-chief, so they were very polite to her.
An adjutant looked at Xiaoxi with a blank look and didn't know where he was standing, so he kindly came over and told her, "Our mission this time is to go to the Daize Star Desert and hunt down a group of interstellar pirates. ā
Daize Interstellar Desert, Xiaoxi once read specifically about it in the first grade.
It was a deserted, unreclaimed planetary zone.
Because of its proximity to the star, the environment there presents two extremes, one extremely hot and the other extremely cold.
And because the sunspots are abnormally active and there are many undercurrents, no one lives nearby, and most caravans have to take a detour.
But the Galactic Empire is well-equipped, and when transporting some armaments, it will take a shortcut and go from there.
This time too, a fleet of thirty ships of the latest model, laden with Y ore, lost contact in that piece.
Some of the nearest detection points in the Daze Interstellar Desert have neither detected a signal from a spaceship, nor seen a single ship leave there.
Given the good track record of those ships, it is unlikely that a natural catastrophe caused the silent loss of contact, and that could only be a human factor.
Therefore, they speculated that they had probably encountered a group of powerful interstellar pirates.
And the consequences of this speculation are even more serious.
Because Y ore, which is an ore specially used to produce the latest weapons, if it falls into the hands of pirates, the consequences are unimaginable.
The turmoil caused by the Y ore of thirty spaceships will be devastating to the entire Galactic Empire, so the four great families cannot stay out of it.
The High Command of the Galactic Empire has set up a sharp knife combat team to gather the top warriors and go to the Daze Star Desert as quickly as possible.
Because Ji Ran is the most outstanding one in the younger generation, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the operation.
The core control room of the control room is the core officials of this combat operation.
Long before Ji Ran passed, they were already waiting inside, discussing the plan, and waiting for Ji Ran to come over, and then decide which set to use.
The officers and men on the periphery of the control room are mainly responsible for the coordination of the 100 spacecraft.
Xiaoxi had never been involved in such a large mission, and no one had officially assigned her a task.
Therefore, what she can do is to help her seniors as much as possible.
There is a need for help, handing over something, checking information, and she is silently helping beside her.
In order to move towards Daze quickly, the spacecraft used the latest point-hop flight.
After dozens of jumps and less than four hours, it was on the edge of Daize.
An order came out from the core command room, dividing the hundred ships into twenty-five groups of four ships each, scattered around Dai Ze, searching inside at the same time, and calling each other every fifteen minutes.
If you encounter an enemy situation and have time to call the police, you will send an alarm, and if it is too late, wait for 15 minutes and no signal will be issued, and other spacecraft will come to support.
They are not afraid of fighting now, nor of some losses, but the most afraid is that the gang of pirates, who took the ore and hid it, and processed it on the spot.
Fortunately, the concentration and refining of Y ore is not such a simple thing, even with the best equipment, it takes a day and a night.
It's been just six hours since it happened.
Creek stayed on the center spaceship and followed him straight to the site of the incident, Ten light-years away on the edge of the Daze Interstellar Desert.
The missing ship was the last signal to be given at that location.
After that, the ship evaporated en masse.
When they arrived at the creek, there was not even a piece of spaceship wreckage on Good's planet, not even a trace of a fight.
Thirty spaceships, without spending a single cannonball, lost contact, Xiaoxi only thought of one possibility, that is, there are ghosts in the spaceship, the level is not low, and there is more than one.
She could think of this, and Ji Ran also thought of it.
So after seeing the scene, he immediately dropped out all the core personnel information on the thirty spaceships, and asked the intelligence analysts to find clues one by one.
It really allowed them to find a few key people.
Just a few people can't do such a big thing, and there should be something else going on in it.
When the Galactic Empire screens personnel involved in secret operations, it generally prefers to choose people with families, such as Leng Xi.
Having a spouse with children will not be so dedicated day and night, but it is always harder to rebel.
When the soldiers in the control room sent back the information about the suspicious person and their speculation, they received the reply that the family members had also disappeared suddenly.
It was a premeditated and prepared robbery.
Ji Ran asked the empire to send people to find those missing people, from different planets, it was easy to quietly get rid of one or two, so many people, how could there be no flaws at all.
On the other hand, he also speeded up the scanning and investigation of various places.
As they surrounded and pushed inside, a group of four ships finally ran out of signal.
The search ships had already gone a third of the way inside, and the encirclement was much smaller, so two-thirds of the ships continued to follow the same path to investigate, and one-third of the ships were dispatched to surround the location of the group of missing spaceships from all sides.
At this time, Xiaoxi's spiritual power had already reached a high-level eighth-level strength due to continuous practice, and Ji Ran's spiritual power was obviously much stronger than Xiaoxi's.
When she was about to reach the scene of the incident, Xiaoxi felt a mental impulse that kept hitting her.
She hurriedly practiced soul meditation to minimize the spiritual impact of the outside world.
When she stabilized, she saw a patch lying on the ground. In the entire central spaceship, there were only two people standing, and Ji Ran was left except for her.
