Chapter 23: Speak up, I promise not to kill you
The command room of the Dodo spacecraft was very calm, as calm as the usual days of space sailing, but a little different from those somewhat boring days.
All the staff, including those who always like to be lazy and gossip during working hours, are seriously carrying out the instructions issued by Shangsi at this time. Even doing so doesn't necessarily change the outcome.
The young soldier was right, now was not the time to give up, if not for their own sake, the responsibility of the remaining 200 passengers on the Dodo was motivating them to win that little bit of miracle.
Shang Si sat on the command platform, pinched his eyebrows a little tiredly, and after Su Ne left, he said a few more words to appease the command room staff, and did not let the negative feelings of negativity and pessimism spread in the command room. Otherwise, you don't have to wait for the Zerg to attack again, and despair can kill everyone.
The next situation is not optimistic, and it is completely a gamble. I just contacted the rescue spacecraft, and the answer I got was that even if the spacecraft went at full speed, it would take thirteen minutes to arrive.
According to the calculations of the central light brain of the spacecraft, the Zerg's tentacles are expected to fully recover in seven minutes.
If they want to survive, they have to hold out for at least six minutes. But both the shield energy and the total energy of the spacecraft have bottomed out. Shang Si could not use the method just now to buy time again.
The Richter cannon still has some missiles in stock, but it's a bit of a fantasy to get that slow-moving missile to hit the Zerg.
But Shang Si had to go to Bo Na to survive.
Only the equipment in the command room occasionally emitted some chimes, and the rows of indicator lights emitted a cold light.
The life-saving pod has already left, and the small manned pod with expensive jammers can safely avoid the perception of the Zerg and avoid this disaster.
After this matter was settled, Su Ne did not come back, and he still needed to stay in the crowd.
A short period of time passed quickly, and on the three-dimensional image, the growth rate of the Zerg tentacle ~ hand was visible to the naked eye, and most of it had been repaired in the blink of an eye.
Shang Si looked at the three-dimensional diagram calmly, because of the system task, he had already developed a facial paralysis, and his face did not change in almost any situation.
But it was his calm expression that calmed down the staff of the Dodo spacecraft, and although the situation was very bad, with this person here, there was the belief to fight.
Six minutes before the rescue ship arrived, the Zerg finally finished repairing and began to approach the Dodo.
Shang Si began to type commands on the spaceship's keyboard with both hands, fine-tuning the various states of the spaceship.
Five minutes before the rescue spacecraft arrived, the Zerg came to the right rear of the Dodo, and Shang Si's hands quickly entered the number jΓΉ to adjust the firing angle of the only weapon on the Dodo, the Richter cannon.
However, the speed of this missile is too slow, and no matter how accurate Shang Si's trajectory is, the Zerg can dodge it very easily. In the end, these missiles can only serve to hinder the Zerg from getting closer to the ship.
Four minutes before the arrival of the rescue spacecraft, all the missiles in stock were exhausted. The Zerg approached the ship, and all the tentacles and hands were extended, quickly encircling the ship's protective shield.
The alarm sounded in the ship's command room.
The energy of the shield drops rapidly.
20 percent, 15 percent, 10 percent, 5 percent......
"The ship's shield is running out of energy, and the shield is about to close."
An icy warning sound came from the center of the ship.
Shang Si stopped what he was doing.
He did his best......
He stretched out his right hand and struggled to move to the upper right corner of the console. There was a fingerprint lock, which was originally only the captain's fingerprint that could be opened, but now Shang Si was the highest authority on the Dodo.
When the finger pressed, the two steel plates were slashed to the sides, and a red button slowly rose in the center.
Once this button is pressed, the entire Dodo spacecraft will self-destruct.
No one would want to die as embarrassed as the food of the Zerg, so self-detonation became the only way to preserve human dignity.
Shang Si's hand lingered on the red button for a long time, and he waited until the moment when the energy shield was exhausted......
All the staff in the command room were looking at Shang Si, watching his hand on the red button that could ruin everyone's life, but the strange thing was that no one panicked, everyone just looked at Shang Si calmly.
They knew that everyone did their best, and at this point, no one went back to blame anyone, and they all had a clear conscience.
Shang Si closed his eyes and quietly waited for the light brain in the center of the spaceship to send out an alarm that he had run out of energy.
However, the voice that waited for it was not the cold mechanical sound.
"Rescuers have arrived, please ask the Dodo spacecraft for instructions."
Shang Si suddenly opened his eyes, and on the screen in front of him was a young man with yellow hair. Judging from the background of the conveyed picture, this yellow-haired young man is on top of the mecha.
Mecha, the most powerful weapon against small zergs!
So, what else does this situation indicate? Turn on the mecha and pick that bug out of me!
Shang Si thought so, but he couldn't say that.
"Quickly knock the Zerg back."
Shang Si said.
"Yes." The yellow-haired youth replied quickly.
Then, scratching his head, he asked:
"How do you repel the Zerg?"
Shangsi: ......
Can anyone sue me, why did a mecha come to the rescue and didn't know how to repel the Zerg......
Is this a joke?
The yellow-haired young man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and that smile was extremely silly.
"I've only trained in a simulated cabin, and this is the first time I've opened a mech."
Well, rookie eggs, it's still the kind that hasn't driven a mecha......
Not every military school has the same amount of money as Curran Military Academy, which allows students to fight with expensive mechs. In some schools, there is only one mecha in the mecha class that is placed in front as an exhibit.
I haven't driven a mecha, this Shang Si can be understood.
But......
Who sent a recruit who hadn't driven a mecha to be a rescuer? Who is it! Say it, I promise I won't kill you!
It's too late to say anything now, the dodo's spaceship's shield energy is about to run out, and there is no time to let this recruit enter the spaceship and then change to Shang Si to go into battle by himself.
Shang Si had no choice but to command on the spot. He hoped that this person had trained well in the simulation chamber, otherwise he would really not be able to see it.
Shang Si first aimed the spaceship's detection equipment at the location of the mecha, and he had to see what model the mecha was first.
This glance made Shang Si have a feeling of "God hasn't played enough with me".
AG-33, an agile 3-type mecha, made great contributions in the early stage of the anti-invasion war. It's just that...... Shang Si has always felt that this kind of mecha can only be seen in museums......
Shang Si sighed inwardly.
Due to its age, this mecha is not equipped with a light particle weapon specifically against the Zerg, so it is impossible to expect it to take out the Light Particle Cannon and then beat this E-class Zerg through with one shot. However, this type of mecha is still good in terms of speed.
Fools can't do it, so Shang Si has to remake the plan.
"Enter the command, take out the weapon first." Shang Si said as concisely and straightforwardly as possible. Then approached from the front of the ship. Pay attention to the speed of the mech and dodge the Zerg. β
"You don't have to go up and fight the Zerg directly?" The yellow-haired youth asked.
Shang Si was speechless.
You can beat it, I'll have your last name!
"Your main task is to cut off the tentacles of the Zerg as much as possible."
Then let the energy of the shield delay the rescue boat, and he will be thankful!
When the yellow-haired young man heard this somewhat blunt order, he didn't want to fight the Zerg anymore, he answered, and flew to the left front of the spaceship, and began to cut the Zerg's tentacles with his weapon.
"Watch out for the Zerg raid."
Shang Si said uneasily. Although the E-level Zerg is the lowest combat power of the Zerg, it is probably still easy to deal with the AG-33 mecha.
Don't they haven't been rescued yet, let this recruit get in too.
"Got it." The yellow-haired youth replied loudly.
A three-dimensional image of Shang Sitong watching the rookie egg drive the mecha to clean the tentacles on the ship's shield.
The weapon of the AG-33 mecha is a curved laser knife, which is more powerful than the laser emitted by the Richter cannon, and can cut through the weak point of the abdomen of the E-class zerg. However, it is small in size, and it is very convenient for hand-to-hand combat, but it is still not enough to clear large objects.
Shang Si watched as the yellow-haired young man slashed with a laser knife a few times, smashing a small piece of tentacle.
That's not right. Shang thought about opening his mouth to remind him. The yellow-haired youth's movement was to cut a tentacle into multiple segments, but it was completely unnecessary.
Now the state of the Zerg and the Dodo spaceship is like a sea monster octopus with its tentacles around the fishing boat. Although the Zerg has more and denser tentacles, the essence is that they all grow from the Zerg one by one, and each tentacle can be cut off once as long as it is broken, and there is no need to cut the broken part back and forth.
Shang Si was about to open his mouth when he found that the yellow-haired young man stopped swinging his knife and instead opened the power system of the mecha.
What is he going to do?
Shang Si wondered.
Then Shang Si saw that the yellow-haired young man drove the mecha, swished, and flew against the Dodo.
The AG-33 mecha holds the handle of the knife, the tip of the knife forwards, and in the process of flying, the tentacle that the tip of the knife encounters will break when it touches it. The biggest feature of the AG-33 is its speed, and within a few seconds, the mecha flew around the Dodo spaceship, and at this time, almost all of the Zerg's tentacles were cut off.
Half of the tentacles on the dodo's shield were instantly missing.
Shang Si breathed a sigh of relief.
Although even if the Zerg's tentacle is broken in the middle, the remaining half can continue to absorb the energy of the shield, but at least the speed will drop a lot.
He didn't expect this recruit to be quite smart. He didn't fly a section and cut a section, but directly took advantage of the speed advantage of AG-33 and flew down at full speed in a circle, cutting off the tentacles of the Zerg from the middle.
Shang Si just felt that recruits also had the advantages of recruits, and the recruited who was praised caught him off guard.
The AG-33 mecha was at full speed, whistling, and rushed all the way towards the Zerg.
