Chapter 230: Spaceship Rescue

"There are 100,000 refugees here, the ship's life-sustaining system has been damaged, please answer if you receive it... Please answer if you receive it..."

The distress signal continued to sound in the central command hall of the Hydra flagship.

All the crew members stopped what they were doing and watched Ophelia silently, waiting for her orders.

Ophelia, who has always acted decisively, closed her eyes and pondered for a while, then opened her eyes with a resolute expression: "Close the signal channel immediately, contact the Galactic Council, and report the situation here!" ”

Most of the crew breathed a sigh of relief, and then went about their work.

Don't blame them for being careful, there have been two large-scale super-intelligent rebellions in recorded history. Wars have spread across multiple planets, and many weak civilizations have become dust of history.

Ophelia also has her own considerations, although ignoring the distress signal is against the guidelines of the Interstellar Convention, but what if it is a trap?

Some super-intelligent beings can easily invade the central brain that infects starships, and this is where they are most powerful.

So even if it were true, Ophelia didn't plan to get involved, she wasn't some soft-hearted virgin.

It is most appropriate to leave it to the Galactic Council.

The Galactic Council was established to deal with the growing crisis of war, and as it grew in size, it also played a huge role in mediating regional disputes and interstellar trade frictions.

As a well-known interstellar powerhouse with voting rights, Li Mo certainly has his own exclusive signal channel, but he doesn't have time to deal with it and leave it to Stephani and Ophelia to manage.

Ophelia, who was sitting in the captain's seat, directly opened the operation panel next to it, entered a long string of passwords, and pressed the send button.

Soon, a three-dimensional image of a pink-skinned, uniformed young girl appeared in front of Ophelia.

"Hello, Miss Ophelia, is there anything I can do to help you?" The correspondent girl asked politely.

"Contact the Security Committee, Channel Encryption, Orange Level Crisis." Ophelia said with a serious face.

"Orange... Orange, well, right away! The correspondent was so frightened that he stammered a little, and hurriedly operated.

Elstar, the headquarters of the Galactic Council.

In the silver ring-shaped conference room of the Security Committee, more than a dozen men in various military uniforms were arguing.

They are military representatives from all the major powers of the galaxy, with the three empires in the majority. Their main job on a day-to-day basis is, to put it bluntly, to mediate the friction between the three empires.

For example, the focus of the debate was whether to deal with the local warlords within the Skrull Empire who armed the Kree Empire Resistance.

Just as they were about to start a second round of negotiations, there was a burst of sirens and an orange glow flashed in the room.

Everyone looked at each other, orange represented a galaxy-level crisis, could it be that the war had already begun?

After quickly opening the signal channel, Ophelia's three-dimensional avatar appeared in the huge hall of the security committee.

Without much nonsense, Ophelia explained the situation directly and played the intercepted distress signal.

Almost all of the members of the Security Committee stood up with serious faces, the experience of the two super-intelligent rebellions was simply painful, and no one dared to ignore even if it was fake.

Conradhardt is a well-known planet where many black market transactions take place, and the various powers certainly have their own industries there.

The information was quickly gathered, and all of their personnel there had lost contact, not even the ships that had recently flown there.

All the evidence points to what really happened there.

An officer of the Xi'a Empire said with a serious face, "Miss Ophelia, please find the refugee ship immediately. Remember, only do peripheral reconnaissance and restrictions, do not have any contact with it, once the other party has abnormal behavior, destroy it immediately, we will be there immediately! ”

Ophelia nodded, "Okay, but please hurry, we don't have experience dealing with this kind of incident." ”

After turning off the communicator, under Ophelia's orders, the entire fleet began to turn around and fly towards the star sector where the signal was located.

Half an hour later, the Hydra fleet found the target.

It was a huge spiral-cone-shaped civilian spaceship, with multiple parts of its hull broken and its power engine ripped open and floating silently in space like cosmic garbage.

The other party seemed to detect the arrival of the Hydra fleet, and sent a distress signal even more frantically.

However, Ophelia ignored this, directly ordered the fleet to deploy the electromagnetic barrier, and aimed all the guns at the shipwrecked ship.

On board the shipwrecked ship Daystar,

Most of the spaceship area had been destroyed, and 100,000 people were crammed into several huge cabins after the sealed hatches were closed.

Thankfully, there were also problems with the artificial gravity device, and many people were floating in the air, barely making enough space for everyone.

Unfortunately, there was also a problem with the life-support equipment, the oxygen supply became very difficult, and with so many people gathered together, the cabin was extremely hot, and many people were already suffering from auditory hallucinations and coma due to lack of oxygen.

In the cockpit of the spaceship, many people were overjoyed when they saw the Hydra fleet, but then the fleet's actions directly made their hearts chill, and they couldn't help but scold.

Most of the people here are marauders and interstellar pirate leaders, and they are naturally not good people who can gain a foothold on Conradchat, and under the threat of their lives, the foul language is getting worse and worse.

"Shut up!" Starka, the leader of the Marauders, roared in a low voice, and the cockpit immediately fell silent.

No one dared to speak anymore, not only because Starka had brought them out, but also because of the great strength of this man.

"I've explained to them that it's the intelligent life rebellion, so they're doing the right thing." Starka said with a blank face.

"You should just not tell the reason until we get rescued." A black marketeer couldn't help but complain.

The corners of Starka's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "We don't have a good reputation, but remember, we're not crazy beasts either. ”

"And what do you say now?" An interstellar pirate leader showed a mouth of rotten teeth, "I don't really care, anyway, if I am caught, I will be executed, but there are a lot of civilians behind me, they can't even breathe now, and if they wait, there will be a cabin of corpses." ”

Starka frowned, and then gave the order: "Immediately spray hypnotic gas, the consumption of oxygen in the resting state will be minimized, and it can last a little longer." ”

"And then?" The black marketeer sneered.

A hint of sadness appeared in Starka's eyes, "Wait... Prayer. ”

On the Hydra fleet transport ship, since Ophelia did not prohibit the Earth Observation Group's actions, they also saw what was happening in the observation module.

"It's... A rescue mission? The German observer asked hesitantly, "But it doesn't look like it, the fleet seems to regard them as enemies." ”

"Come on, man." The members of the American observation mission shrugged their shoulders, "In almost all movies, this kind of ship for help is accompanied by great danger, terrifying alien aliens, and interstellar pirate groups or something. ”

"Don't worry about it..."The British observer stopped as soon as he said a word, and looked up to the side with wide eyes: "Holy Shit!" ”

A huge fleet suddenly jumped out, the golden fuselage, the symbol of the eight-pointed star, they already recognized it as Shandar's fleet.

The Hydra fleet is a baby army by comparison, their flagship is 50 kilometers long, and countless ships obscure the entire starry sky above the side.

It didn't take long for the nearest Kree Empire to send a fleet, which was mostly black and had serious edges and corners, much larger than the fleet of Zhishandar.

Everyone kept their mouths shut, and they all realized that something big might be happening.

With the arrival of the Sandar and Kree imperial fleets, the Hydra fleet quickly retreated under Ophelia's orders.

However, the fleet did not go far, but observed from the sidelines, and they had to learn how to deal with the situation.

I saw a flagship of the Sandal Starfleet swishing and squirting out many room-sized aircraft.

After adjusting their direction by relying on the jets around them, these aircraft all flew towards the shipwrecked Daystar with blue flames, and soon formed a layer of encirclement around the perimeter.

The golden particle energy connected to each other between the small vehicles, and soon formed a large ball of golden light that enveloped the Daystar.

There was a lot of chaos in the cockpit of the Daystar.

"What are these bastards doing?"

"What is this?"

Many asked in panic.

Starka, who had been looking out the window, turned his head back, a smile tugging at his stiff face, "We were rescued, but... You have to detoxify it first. ”

As soon as his words fell, a violent electromagnetic shock wave was generated in the ball of light, and the cabin suddenly vibrated endlessly, all electronic instruments sparked at the same time, and the life-sustaining device completely lost its function.

Most of them stopped talking, but slowed their breathing, trying to survive as long as they could before help arrived.

A huge Kree Empire transport and rescue ship slowly flew over, and when it came to the top of the Daystar, the hatch in its belly opened, and the huge mechanical arm dragged the shipwrecked ship into the hollow area, and then slowly closed the hatch.

The ship did not immediately return to the fleet, but stayed where it was and launched a rescue operation. Groups of heavily armed guards and medics stood outside the shipwreck, waiting for the giant robotic arm to finely cut the ship.

And while the ship was carrying out rescue activities, both the fleets of the Sandal and Kree empires deployed their electromagnetic barriers and aimed their guns at the rescue ship.

In the command cabin of the Hydra fleet, Ophelia nodded, "Record all this, it seems that in this case, strict isolation measures should be implemented just like dealing with infectious patients." ”

After seeing that the matter was over, Ophelia said hello and left with the Hydra fleet. She wasn't prepared to get involved, and planned to return to Sandal immediately to discuss with Stephanie what to do about the incident.

And on the Kerry rescue spacecraft, all the victims from the Daystar were also rescued, although... Some of them died.

Starka, the leader of the victims, was also escorted to an interrogation cabin.

He sat in a chair with his handcuffed anklets, a light source shining vertically from the top, and it was pitch black.

An emotionless electronic voice suddenly sounded: "Starka, nicknamed Star Eagle, the leader of the Marauder faction, was once known for..."

"Shut up, idiots!"

The impatient Starka directly interrupted them, and his hands easily shattered the handcuffs, "The reason why I'm here to talk nonsense with you is because I have to convey the news that a free-willed superintelligence has been born, and he has taken control of the planet Conradchat. This must be stopped! ”

The electronic voice was silent for a moment before continuing: "The fleets of the three empires have gone there to blockade the entire planet, and we need to know what happened. ”

Starka breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes were a little dim and said: "About a month ago, some people discovered that the artificial intelligence of the city's navigation system was abnormal. ”

"Although the engineers did not find any problems after inspection, the city management association decided to restart all the artificial intelligence in batches due to safety concerns."

"Not long after the start of this operation, there was a massive AI rebellion. Traffic accidents are frequent, and some people even die of suffocation in their homes with oxygen drained. ”

"The city management association used electromagnetic bombs to eliminate most of the problematic intelligent robots. However, just before further restart plans began, a nightmare arose. ”

"A superintelligence controls all the networked systems of the entire planet, and the ship cannot leave and make contact with the outside world. There are many black market supplies on the planet Conradchate, and he has built an army of them to launch a bloody revenge against all the forces. ”

"After retreating, I led a part of the people to escape on the Daystar, and one of my psychic abilities blocked the central brain of the spaceship, and only then did I escape."

"That super-intelligent being is the most terrifying enemy I have ever seen, and he sees everything, even the weaknesses of human nature."

"He professes... Ultron! ”
