Chapter 55
Roy opened his eyes and looked at the radar screen in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
That's right, there are indeed flying machines approaching their starship. The exterior of the ship is so black that it almost blends in with the universe, and it is not even clear in the simulated vision. Standard for Star Thieves.
It seems that the rest of the Shuttle Star Thieves have come to pick it up.
Roy immediately dived back into the neural network, turned off the autopilot set by the star thief pilot, and prepared to maneuver the starship to escape.
However...... Starship barely reacted.
No, she turned off the autopilot, and the starship should activate the anti-directional thruster to cancel out the speed and let the starship hover in space.
Why is the starship still moving forward according to inertia?
Well, I can't say that there is no difference at all from before, the starship is indeed slowly slowing down, but this acceleration is too ...... It's a little smaller.
Roy lowered his "head" in the neural network and finally found the starship's reverse thruster. That little flame is not a small flame in general.
Oh yes, didn't there be a star thief complaining about the engine problem before? Hasn't it been fixed until now?
So how do you run!
Roy couldn't help but hold his forehead. Sure enough, people's positions determine what people think. She was always happy when she heard that there was a problem with the engine, and now she wished she could go over and kick the engine herself.
Without power, a starship is no different from a high paraplegic. So what's the point of her breaking into the cab like she's struggling for her life.
The radio received a message from the opposite group of star pirates.
Roy shuddered. What is the Star Thief backup doing when he contacts her? She didn't dare video or audio.
What will they do if the other side finds out that their companion has been kicked out of the wheelhouse of the starship?!
Roy took a hard look at the message.
Fortunately, it's just the most primitive Morse code. Roy was really relieved, opened the message, and saw that there was only a question mark on it.
Oh, maybe it's just a wonder why it's slowing down all of a sudden.
Roy thought for a moment and replied with a message: engine failure.
Then Roy nervously watched the other man's movements.
The other party did not reply again, that is, did not accelerate or slow down. I think I should accept her words?
It doesn't matter if you don't accept it. Anyway, according to the relative speed of the two sides, at most ten minutes, she would have to watch herself fall into the jaws of the star thieves.
It is imperative to repair the turbine as soon as possible.
Although Roy was skeptical that the speed of this guest starship could really shake off the group of pirates who were in the hunt and hunting business, he couldn't sit still here.
So who is going to fix it?
Naturally, Roy remembered the mysterious people who had made holes in the starship.
Obviously, they are not in league with the Star Thieves. And whether the star thieves in the ship can beat them is still two words.
So how did she get in touch with this group of people?
Roy came up with the simplest and crudest way to do it: direct broadcasting.
It just so happened that she could tell her father that she was safe and tell him not to worry.
Just do it. Roy clicked the radio button, then ...... And then there was no response.
I don't know if it was accidentally smashed, or it was deliberately cut, or in the large and small firefights inside the starship, who didn't shoot it into slag, anyway, the broadcast line was broken somewhere, and it was not good.
I x!
Roy wants to curse!
Everything else is good, but where she wants to use it, there is a bad one!
Forget it. It's useless to scold. Roy wiped his face anxiously. Now what?
The Star Thieves are getting closer. The distance between the two is displayed in the visual simulation, like a life amulet, constantly prompting Roy how much balance he has left in his life.
To tell the truth, if they are really caught by the star thieves, others may still be able to survive, but as the father of the former star thieves, and sitting here to drive the starship and rebel against them, the end is definitely the worst.
Calm down. The more you get to this point, the more you have to be calm.
Roy took a deep breath, another deep breath. It seems that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, but there must be a glimmer of vitality behind it.
There are no external forces left in the universe outside the starship. Roy allowed himself to sink deeper into the neural network, taking a closer look at every corner of the starship.
The first thing to look at is the engine room. Someone is at war with the Star Thieves. However, neither side had a strong exchange of intent, and the group fighting against the Star Pirates firmly occupied the engine room.
Roy's heart skipped a beat. It's Jerry and Kane!
The problem of the engine was deliberately made up by the father?
She said, how could my father sit still and wait to die!
Unfortunately, she couldn't get in touch with her father.
And the star thieves were in no hurry to attack the engine room. I think they know very well that as long as the status quo is maintained, they and their father will be their prey sooner or later.
Roy pursed his lips, no longer obsessed with the engine room, and instead looked at the rest of the starship, quickly taking control of what was going on inside and outside the starship.
But it's strange to say, she sits in the wheelhouse, and can be said to be the most omniscient and all-powerful one in the entire starship, but she has not found anything about the whereabouts of that group of mysterious people.
Of course, the monitors are her eyes and ears. Where there is no monitor, she naturally can't see or hear. But the starship's monitor blind spot is not so easy to find. Even if you know the starship well, you can't guarantee that you will not be 100% exposed.
But the group fired a total of two guns, one at the bottom of the cabin, next to the ordinary cargo hold, and the other on the top of the starship, knocking a hole in the crew's lookout. Now there is already a vacuum. Fortunately, the starships have isolation gates, otherwise everyone on the starship would have to suffocate to death.
Of course, thanks to their symmetrical two shots, the starship that had deviated from course rolled back. If they deviate too far, the patrol may not be able to find them, and they will fight the star thieves single-handedly, and the chances of victory will be at all. It's a pity that the Star Thieves can also find them.
Roy suddenly sat up from his chair.
Isn't it right here?
The Star Thieves are getting closer, and the opportunity is quickly draining. Roy said just do it, immediately clicked on the two parts of the hole, thought about it, simply chose both floors, and then sent a fire alarm.
A piercing alarm suddenly echoed inside the starship. Inorganic synthesized voices are broadcast over and over again, requiring all personnel to stay away from these two areas.
Taking advantage of the time for the starship to clear the inside of the starship, Roy turned on the power of the air generator to the maximum, while using the two small counterthrusters, gritting his teeth, and changing the starship's attitude little by little.
The swarm of pirates was close enough to send Roy the command to open the hatch. Some starships have thrown out sucker-type grappling hooks and are tightly suited to the surface of the starship, ready to land on the starship.
The man was finally emptied.
Roy lowered the barrier between floors and floors, and then opened the previously closed barrier one by one in the direction of the lookout, from far to near.
The last isolation door opened.
The air roared out of the starship's hole!
The huge starship was suddenly ejected like a glass marble. The star pirate ship with the spear hooked on it was suddenly like an unlucky bastard with a stirrup hanging from its feet and neck, dragged all the way by this wild horse.
