Despite the twists and turns, when the Tropical High unexpectedly broke into the caravan, it was actually less than five minutes from start to finish. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Tropical High remained optically invisible, nestled side by side beside the wreckage of the transport ship. In this state, the high-speed ship remained motionless like a fixed target for more than a minute.

The problem was that the 9th Fleet did not dare to attack with the main guns, for fear of accidentally damaging the surrounding NO-transport flotilla. This can be regarded as a self-inflicted consequence, and even the two formation commanders hid it from them, not letting them know which ship was carrying the engine, so that they threw rat traps. Of course, because of Luo Yunxi, the "Tropical High Pressure" will naturally not find the wrong target. In this way, even if the two formation commanders knew the specific location of the engine, they did not dare to fire rashly.

In a word, the main guns of the fleet could not be used, only a few Gauss machine guns on several of the armed merchant ships of the caravan could fire. However, the power of these machine guns is quite limited, and they can only pose a threat to mobile suits, and it is not enough to break through the thick armor skin of the battleship, and they can only make dense potholes in the outer wall of the "Tropical Pressure", which looks like a numb face, which makes people with dense phobia look very uncomfortable, but has no effect on the overall performance.

In the state of optical invisibility, Monica quickly entered the wreck of the transport ship under the command of Luo Yunxi and began her own hidden mission. The Tropical High Pressure circled the back of the caravan and disappeared from the 9th Fleet battleship's energy sensors.

The composition of this caravan of NO's is also quite complicated. In order to conceal the real purpose of transporting the third-generation jump engine, they formed a real caravan and introduced more than half of the foreign civilian ships, and the real NO's was less than double digits. And of the few NO-transports, most of them belong to their peripherals, just like Awa-ker, which are used to help organizations make money.

Only a handful of people on two ships really knew about the third-generation jump engine. Needless to say, one of them had been sunk by Fengyu's sword, and the crew members who had gathered on the bridge to watch the battle were wiped out. At this time, the transport ship, which is the core of the operation, can be said to have no living mouth.

The other one who knew about it was the armed merchant ship that had just taken the lead in firing at the "Tropical High Pressure". Because of the existence of the New African Resistance Army and space pirates, merchant ships that have been walking dangerous routes all year round can apply for armament permits from various countries. However, these armed merchant ships, which were allowed to install the less lethal Gauss cannons, could only sail in the designated waterways, and if they entered the unauthorized area, they would be considered sunk by pirate ships.

The main duty of this armed merchant ship was to protect the transport ship that had already been sunk, and if necessary, to plug the bullet holes for it or to stay behind the temple to drag the enemy. Of course, that's the worst situation in NO's opinion, and it's generally not needed. They believed that with the escort of the 9th Fleet, they would be safe for at least this part of the voyage in the New African system.

However, no never thought that there would be such an ace pilot as Fengyu to deal with them personally, and he would directly bypass the 9th Fleet defense line and sink the transport ship with a sword, so that the armed merchant ships as the last barrier did not even have time to react.

After harming Fengyu many times, he finally suffered again after the "edge of the world".

After the destruction of the transport, the captain of the armed merchant ship was in the same confusion as the two commanders of the 9th Fleet, and failed to send men to control the wreckage of the ship in the first place. He didn't remember this until a few minutes had passed, when the Tropical High approached the transport ship first.

Judging from the previous situation, although the transport ship equipped with the third-generation jump engine was sunk, from the outside, the key cargo compartment looks fine. This also means that the overall structure of the engine should still be well preserved, even if it is not usable, it does not prevent NO's R&D organization from disassembling it for research.

The "Tropical High Pressure" was so desperately pasted, presumably it also recognized this, so it planned to grab it hard. Although the artillery fire of the armed merchant ship is far inferior to the main guns of the battleship, it cannot damage the military-type Tianhuo high-speed ship in a short time. But under its shelling, the "Tropical High Pressure" also had no chance to carry the third-generation jump engine on board. And once the time drags on, the mobile suits of the 9th Fleet come to reinforce, and it will be the end of the "Tropical High Pressure".

Therefore, in the eyes of the captain of the armed merchant ship, the rapid evacuation of the "Tropical High Pressure" is inevitable, and there is no need to worry about the engine being robbed for the time being. However, he believes that as a stream-of-consciousness ace like "Storm", the "Tropical High Pressure" should not recklessly do such useless work, and should be the main purpose of destroying the engine.

Half a minute after the rapid departure of the "Tropical Pressure", a relatively intact cargo hold of the NO transport ship suddenly exploded, and the flames from the explosion directly penetrated the outer wall of the spacecraft, forming a long pillar of fire in space.

Seeing this scene, although the captain of the armed merchant ship felt regretful in his heart, he was relieved. He thought about it for a moment, and out of a cautious point of view, finally said to his deputy, "TEM-3(U) should have been destroyed, immediately organize people to board the ship and inspect the cargo hold to see if there is anything else that can be recovered." ”

TEM-3(U) is the official model of this third-generation jump engine, T stands for Transition, E naturally means Engine, M refers to the size middle_size medium, 3 undoubtedly refers to the third generation, and the U in parentheses is UAC.

No can clearly name the model of this engine, which is something that even the powerful Awa-Ker of intelligence force cannot do, which shows that their penetration of the UAC is also very deep.

In the opinion of the captain of the armed merchant ship, although they failed to keep the TEM-3 (U) this time, it is not difficult to get another one, maybe it is a matter of two or three months. The point is that this time the blame is not on him, the engine was destroyed at the escort stage of the 9th Fleet and will not affect his future, which is more important than anything else.

The armed merchant ship quickly approached the wreckage of the transport ship, and under the arrangement of the first mate, several crew members in space suits quickly boarded the ship for inspection. In their eyes, the cargo compartment containing the TEM-3 (U) was blown to pieces by the bomb, and a large hole with a diameter of two meters was blown open in the bulkhead on the outward side. The engine in the cabin had already been torn to pieces by the huge force of the explosion, and even the fragments were sucked into space with the loss of air in the cabin, turning into space dust, and there was nowhere to find it.

After receiving a report from his crew, the captain of the armed merchant ship sent a look at the destroyed bridge to confirm that there was no information left by the transport ship's owner system, and then ordered the evacuation.

He then contacted the heads of the merchant ships in the caravan and suggested that everyone pass through the main channel first and stay away from this area of engagement, so as not to be affected again. This suggestion was accepted by everyone and immediate action was taken.

He then contacted the two formation commanders of the 9th Fleet as a NO, communicated the general information to them, and advised them to do their best to eliminate Fengyu and the "Tropical Pressure" after the caravan left, so as to make up for the failure of the mission.

In this way, TEM-3(U) was confirmed to have been destroyed and had no recovery value. The focus of the next battle is to hunt down Fengyu, a sworn enemy!
