"What? Going to walk the meteorite belt? As the owner of the largest cargo ship on the voyage, Glynn Yeffie was very incomprehensible about the command ship's orders.

Walking the meteorite belt will not only consume the ship's defensive shield, but also due to the complex situation in the meteorite belt, it is easy to get out of danger.

"Yes." The ship's co-captain said.

"No, I need an explanation, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make my ship take such a big risk." Green said.

This is also the case with other ships in the fleet. After all, the Raven was only temporarily appointed as the command ship, and the too young captain of the Raven, Shang Si, had no prestige.

Shang Si also knew this, originally the commander of a fleet did not have to explain for every order, but they have a special situation here, if they don't explain it clearly, many ships will not be willing to go with them. So Shang Si had a short video conference on the spacecraft.

At this moment, all the captains appeared on the screen, and their lieutenants were presumably standing outside the screen.

"There is an error in our star chart." Shang Si said bluntly at the beginning.

This phrase caused a buzz.

"What?" A captain said in a loud voice, "Didn't you just say that the star map was correct?" ”

Santh sends the star map to the screens of each captain.

"Here, here, and here," Shang Si drew three circles on the star map, "and now it has been found that the star map is skewed on these three enemies. As for whether there are other errors, it is not yet certain. ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

"You're saying that the star map of the Vion Corporation fleet is wrong, right?" Another captain asked.

"Yes." Shang Si nodded in confirmation.

"God!" The captain screamed.

Although their merchant ships also had star maps, the main part of the star maps was the routes. As for the star field next to the route, they don't have the capital for that exploration, nor the time for that exploration.

The whole company is different, they are doing security, and at the same time they have to pilot the fleet. To accomplish this, a detailed star map is essential. In addition to the situation of the main route, they must also have the situation of the star fields around the route, just in case.

But now, the captain of the Raven told them that the star map provided by the entire security company turned out to be wrong!

From the screen, several captains opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

Can they complain about the Raven? No!

The captain of the Raven informed all the ships of the fleet as soon as he discovered the situation. Later, it was the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Revich, who suppressed the matter, saying that the Raven had made a mistake. And they believed it!

The captains were silent for a moment, and then the silence was broken by the captain of the largest cargo merchant ship, Grimm Yefei, who said, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Get out of this star field." "Return to the original route." ”

There are too many mistakes in this star map, and if they continue to sail in this star field, who knows if they will be misled by the wrong star map and eventually lose their course. And if you can return to the original route, the error of the star map can be solved.

It's not the first time they've taken this route, and although they don't have a star map in the area outside the route, how could they not have a detailed star map inside the route.

Back on course, at least they won't have to worry about losing their way.

But......

"Do you have to walk the meteorite belt?" One of the captains asked timidly.

"Gotta go." Shang Si replied.

"Why?" Even if he knew that the situation was not good, the captain was not very willing to take the risk. "We can wait for the meteorite swarm to pass and then return to a safe route."

This time, without waiting for Shang Si to answer, a man with a beard retorted.

"Do you want to be caught up by an interstellar pirate?" Algernon scoffed, "It's only been a long time since I've seen you, and how did Kurt become less daring than a chicken?!" ”

Algernon's words caused a burst of laughter from the captains. Kurt was notoriously timid to them. Seriously, he would be on this voyage, and many people thought it was incredible.

Kurt blushed from laughter, stared at angry eyes, and stopped talking.

After the laughter stopped, Algernon's loud voice rang out:

"Commander-in-chief, I'm a businessman, and I'm not good at fleet navigation. Now that the situation is dangerous, I, Algernon, believe in your abilities! I promise, from now on, I will be at your command! ”

After Algernon finished speaking, the other captains also said that they would unconditionally obey the commander-in-chief's orders in the future.

From the matter of the star map, they can already roughly judge that Shang Si is indeed a capable captain, and the size of his ability cannot be seen for the time being, but now the only thing they can rely on is him.

……

The matter was resolved smoothly, because a consensus was reached with the captains, and Shang Si no longer had to worry about having to struggle to explain when he gave orders in the future.

In fact, the captains of cargo merchant ships are not inexperienced, and those who dare to do this in the dangerous space voyage have certain brains. It would have been impossible for them to ask a fleet commander to explain every order, and the result was either that the fleet commander was impatient and left directly, or because there were too many explanations, they could not grasp the opportunity, and in the end, the whole fleet died together.

The reason why they joined forces to inquire this time was just to test the ability of this temporary commander-in-chief of the fleet. They can't give their lives to someone they don't know at all.

Now that the result of the temptation is good, they will choose to trust the other person and will no longer question the other party's orders.

Years of experience in astronautics tell them that democracy is good, you can freely put forward opinions and questions, but there are situations where you have to use □□. Like now, if you encounter an interstellar pirate, do you need a group of people to get together and discuss the results before starting a fight? That also requires the other party to have that patience!

……

The fleet began to enter the meteorite group, and Shang Si did not intend to let the fleet enter the depths of the meteorite group, nor did he plan to cross the meteorite group. The celestial bodies in the center of the meteorite swarm were too dense to pass through with the protective capabilities of their fleet.

He just let the fleet go to the edge of the meteorite swarm.

The interstellar pirates will certainly not stop, and the fleet will be in danger of being discovered at any time. But the meteorite swarms that got them into trouble at first have now become a barrier for them to hide from interstellar pirate detection.

The Raven's radar detected the strange fleet appearing outside the meteorite group several times, and Shang Si immediately ordered all the ships in the fleet to turn off their engines and float in the meteorite group without power. This can blind the opponent's radar and make the opponent mistakenly believe that they are also meteorites. In this way, several crises have been avoided.

The captains of the merchant ships all broke out in a cold sweat.

Their radar of course also detected the signals of the interstellar pirates' ships, and at one point the ships even paused for a moment before approaching the meteorite zone they were in. Fortunately, the fleet stopped at the edge of the meteorite belt.

The owners of cargo ships are well aware that, with the exception of the Raven, the current fleet is almost incapacitated. The pursuit that just escaped from the other party is to take advantage of the opponent's psychology of underestimating the enemy, and there happens to be a dwarf planet over there. And if they encounter the interstellar pirate fleet now, they will definitely not have the strength to fight.

Fortunately, under the command of the overly young temporary commander-in-chief, they managed to evade each other's pursuit.

Because it moves in the opposite direction of the meteorite swarm, even if it stops and goes, the fleet is now about to drive out of the meteorite swarm. The radar showed that in another twenty minutes, they would be able to break away from the meteorite belt and then change course and return to their original course.

But apparently, their good fortune had been exhausted just after they were on the run from the pirates. On the path of the fleet, a battle is taking place.

……

As soon as the radar showed the situation ahead, Shang Si began to send communication requests like the Fortune, the flagship of the original fleet.

After being tracked by the interstellar pirates, the fleet never contacted the outside world because of the need to hide itself.

But now Shang Si sent out a communication, and this time the communication was immediately connected.

"How dare you send a newsletter at this time?!"

After connecting the communication, Levich's angry voice was immediately heard: "You're not afraid of being tracked down to your location by pirates?!" ”

Shang Si sent their location directly to the lucky number.

When Levich saw this, he was silent for a moment.

The Raven does not have to worry about being exposed, because the merchant fleet led by the Raven will definitely pass by the location of the Lucky if it wants to return to its original course.

"Let's assemble at this location." Revitch sighed and sent the coordinates to Shans.

……

The fleet, which had been split into two, was merged together. However, compared with the original, there was no loss of cargo spaceships, but the number of spaceships of the entire company was two-thirds less, and even two light ships were left - one of them was damaged and had no combat effectiveness.

The pirate's spaceship did not chase after it quickly, and the light ship that did not return from the whole company had just bought time for the main fleet by self-detonation.

Levich on the screen looked a little tired, which was actually difficult to see on the face of this energetic man.

Shang Si didn't say anything, and after returning to the fleet, he was no longer the temporary commander-in-chief, just an ordinary captain.

Levich wiped his face with his left hand.

"I already know your watch after Lucky left." "Do you think you're doing a good job?" ”

Shang Si was silent.

It didn't seem like he was praising him.

Really.

The commander-in-chief of the fleet over there sneered: "I sue you, I've seen a lot of young people like you!" With a little ability, I feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, isn't it?! Oh, I sue you, this little rabbit cub will end up being thrown into the universe by pirates as garbage! ”
