Chapter 83
In the command room, almost all the personnel were busy carrying out orders, but they did not make a sound. The most central position was the command seat, where the commander-in-chief of the mission and his temporary adjutant were located. The two of them were reviewing the star map, and even in the soundproof gravity shielding field, the two had not spoken for a long time.
In the end, it was Xiao Yi who broke the silence.
"How sure are you?" Xiao Yi asked.
Shang Si looked at the star map in front of him and was silent.
Xiao Yi: "Isn't it bottomless?" ”
Shang Si didn't hesitate and nodded.
This kind of thing has nothing to hide from Xiao Yi, and he can't hide it from him.
There was a gravity shielding field around the command seat, and no one else could hear their conversation except for him and Xiao Yi inside, so Shang Si was not worried that admitting this would shake the military's heart.
It's just that Shang Si felt from Xiao Yi's tone that the other party didn't seem to be worried about the battle situation, but on the contrary, he also revealed a hint of relaxation.
He was wondering about this, and Xiao Yi next to him spoke again.
"Young man," Xiao Yi said, with a slight smile in his voice. "At the critical moment, you have to see your predecessors show you a hand."
Shang Si looked up at Xiao Yi, and he was surprised in his heart. Unexpectedly, in this situation, Xiao Yi still had a way.
Xiao Yi called up the star map and enlarged a piece of the area.
"Look here." Xiao Yi pointed to a location.
Shang Si: "Shattered Star Belt? ”
Xiao Yi: "Yes, it's the Broken Star Belt." ”
The fractal belt should have been called the gravitational turbulence zone, this kind of region does not have a celestial object like a black hole, but the gravitational field is very chaotic, in this zone, if you are accidentally caught in the gravitational turbulence, even the asteroid will be torn to pieces by the chaotic gravity. Hence the nickname of the Shattered Belt.
As soon as Xiao Yi pointed out this place, Shang Si understood his plan in his heart.
"You can't go." Shang Si directly vetoed.
"I have to go." Xiao Yi's tone was flat, but there was no doubt.
Shang Si looked at Xiao Yi silently.
The Shattered Belt is too dangerous, and in the irregular gravitational turbulence, it is almost impossible for those who enter to leave alive. Even if Xiao Yi's mecha piloting skills are top-notch, the probability of being lucky enough to avoid all dangers is infinitely zero.
But Xiao Yi on the other side faced his opposition, although he did not refute it, his gaze was as firm as a mountain.
Shang Si knew that once this person made up his mind, he would definitely move towards this goal, and no one could stop him. But he himself will not change his decision lightly.
A dull atmosphere permeated the two who looked at each other, and both were holding on.
In the end, it was Xiao Yi who broke the deadlock first.
With his straight back relaxed, Xiao Yi took out a cigarette from his pocket, but he didn't light it, just held it on his fingertips and played with it.
"My brother's driving skills are so high, what do you say you are worried about." Xiao Yi smiled and said.
Shang Si ignored the other party's frivolous tone, and still did not change his insistence: "You can't go." It's useless for you to go. ”
"Yo, young people nowadays don't trust their predecessors anymore?" Xiao Yi said with a smile.
Shang Si didn't answer. He really didn't believe that Xiao Yi could bring it back from the Shattered Star Belt, or rather, he didn't believe that Xiao Yi could introduce the mother worm into the Shattered Star Belt at all!
This is also the reason why he really opposes Xiao Yi's plan.
That's right, Xiao Yi is the best mecha pilot in the Federation, and he has top-notch mecha piloting skills, but even so, he can only enter the outer layer of the shattered star belt at most, and even in this area, Xiao Yi may be crushed by being involved in gravitational turbulence.
But for the female, the gravitational turbulence in the outer layer of the fragmented belt cannot injure it, and even the female worm is hardly affected. Only deep in the Shattered Star Belt will there be the power to tear through the carapace of the mother worm's defenses.
If he followed Xiao Yi's plan, he would need to provoke the mother worm first, and then lure the female worm into the Shattered Star Belt. After entering the outer layer of the Shattered Star Belt, he not only prevents the mecha from being swept into the turbulence of the outer layer of the Shattered Star Belt, but also dodges the attacks from the mother worm until the mother worm is introduced into the depths of the Shattered Star Belt.
It's almost an impossible task, and the probability of success is almost none. Few people who entered the outer layer of the Shattered Star Belt came back alive, not to mention that Xiao Yi had to guard against gravitational turbulence while also guarding against the attack of the mother worm.
The probability of success of his plan is very small, but Xiao Yi's plan has no hope of success at all. It is true that sometimes sacrifice is inevitable for the sake of victory. But this does not mean that when you know that it is useless, you have to sacrifice in vain.
Xiao Yi looked at the insistent young man on the other side, and sighed helplessly.
"Why are you so stubborn?"
Shang Si had already turned his head to look at the star field map again. He wasn't going to waste any more time on a plan that had already been rejected.
"Okay, okay, the official level crushes people to death, Ah ......" Xiao Yi pinched the cigarette in his hand, and then said to Shang Si, "I'll go out and smoke a cigarette." ”
Shang Si heard the voice of the person next to him who seemed to compromise, but he didn't care, nodded and agreed.
Half of the screen in front of him is a picture of the battle between the fleet in front and the mother worm, and half is a star map of this area.
The current situation is okay, and they can still withstand the pressure on the front of the female worm's attack, but the further they go, the more unfavorable the situation will be. According to the calculation of the news just passed from the logistics side, the rushing energy of the armored ship is still slow, the female insect carapace is constantly solidifying, and there is not much time left.
Shang Si looked at the star map intently, trying to find a way to solve the current situation, but in fact, he had long been familiar with this star map, but he was still dead now.
"Help me connect......" Shang Si stopped halfway through his words. As a temporary adjutant, Xiao Yi went out to smoke, and he had to do this by himself.
Shang Si was about to bring up the contact list, but his hand stopped as soon as he put it on the keyboard.
"That's not right!" Two words flashed through Shang Si's mind.
A person with Xiao Yi's character, even if the plan is denied, it is impossible to waste time smoking in such a critical situation. And, even if he did go to smoke, it would have been too long.
Shang Si immediately connected directly to the Battleship Machinery Department.
"No Polaris sailing!" Shang Si ordered.
The head of the mechanical department, who suddenly received the communication of the highest command of the fleet, was stunned for a moment, but immediately carried out the order.
"The Polaris is forbidden to sail, you should quickly notify all departments of the Ministry of Machinery." The Minister of Machinery said to the deputy next to him.
"Yes!" The deputy hurried out.
Shang Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as the Polaris hasn't left the ship, he can stop the other party.
But obviously, Shang Si relaxed too soon. An anxious voice came from the other end of the screen: "Oh no, the Polaris refused to follow the instructions and forcibly set sail!" ”
……
Xiao Yi sat on the Polaris, ignoring the non-smoking regulations in the mecha cab, and swallowed the clouds and fog there with a calm expression.
"Polaris, please return immediately. Polaris, please return to ...... immediately."
The voice came repeatedly from the mecha communication channel, Xiao Yi sighed, raised his hand, and simply closed the public channel.
That's when an encrypted message came.
Xiao Yi opened it, and Yan Kou's face appeared on the small screen.
"Well, brother, it's interesting."
"Enough." Xiao Yi flicked the cigarette ash in the box.
"I said Lao Xiao, it's not okay to just talk about it, but under the strict defense, I filled your Polaris with energy, and secretly opened the launch port. You've got to thank me! ”
"Okay, I'll reward you when I get back."
"A month's cigarette ration?" Yan Kou asked.
"No problem!" Xiao Yi replied crisply.
"That's not right......" Yan Kou wondered, "Old Xiao, what's wrong with you today?" Why did you agree so simply, it's not your style at all......"
"If you promised, you're still finding fault." Xiao Yi said, "That's okay, it's not a month, just three." ”
"Hey, Lao Xiao, you can't talk and it doesn't count! Say that the amount of a month is the amount of a month. Yan Kou shouted, "I'm taking a big risk, you don't know, the team leader's cold air, the command room is about to become Antarctica!" ”
When Xiao Yi heard Yan Kou say this, he couldn't help but think of the young junior on the Comet.
After he came out like this, the junior's already strict face must have even been hung with ice slag now......
Xiao Yi thought about it, squinting his eyes and laughing.
"Young people, just to exercise and exercise their mental ......"
"Old Xiao, you can still laugh, the team leader is really pitiful." Yan Kou said, "But what are you going to do, how do you make the squad leader angry like that?" ”
Xiao Yi: "It's okay to sue you now, I plan to take the female worm to the Shattered Star Belt for a tour." ”
Yan Kou: ......
Yan Kou: "it, Xiao Yi, your brain was eaten by the Zerg?!" ”
Yan Kou: "Shattered Star Belt!" And with the mother worm! Are you looking for death or are you looking for death? ”
Xiao Yi: "That's what you're talking about?" Then I'll hang up. ”
"Don't, don't." Yan Kou hurriedly said, paused, he glanced at Xiao Yi, "No wonder you just promised me a month's worth of cigarettes so simply...... However, Lao Xiao, since you have already agreed, don't think about repaying the debt, otherwise I will not be finished with you! ”
……
When he learned that the Polaris took the initiative to turn off communications and could not be contacted, Shang Si was simply angry.
Of course, his angry appearance was that he was crazy about the cold air, so the people in the command room were pitiful, and they all seemed to be in the ice and snow.
However, even if Shang Si was so angry, he couldn't recover the Polaris.
With Xiao Yi's mecha piloting ability, one or two mechs can't stop each other. But now that energy is tight, it is impossible for Shang Si to dedicate a mecha team to stop Xiao Yi.
Similarly, Xiao Yi is not an enemy, and he can't let the fleet directly bombard it into slag.
Shang Si could only watch Xiao Yi in a group of mecha besieging the female worm, picking away the hatred of the female worm with three blows and two blows. Although under Shang Si's orders, the rest of the mechs also tried to stop the Polaris, but because they also had to take care of the mother worm, they were unsuccessful. After that, the female worm began to attack Xiao Yi with all her might, and the other mechs did not dare to cause trouble to the Polaris at this time.
So Shang Si could only watch the Polaris fly away with the mother worm.
