Volume 1: Destruction and Rebirth Chapter 6: An Impossible Prison
Most of the inhabitants of Fort Augustus, and even most of the soldiers of the Union fleet, had never heard of the Moses, or Moses Prison.
Because it is the most secret military prison in the Alliance, most of which are held by notorious or vicious military criminals in the history of the Alliance.
If Han Jianfei and Zhao Xiaonan are arrested according to the script designed for them by Chen Mingyuan, it will also be their final destination - to be treated as the most dangerous enemy, imprisoned in a prison floating in space, tortured to death by demonic criminals, or die in an accident.
Originally part of Fort Augustus' Low Earth Orbit Defense System, Moses Prison was a large air defense base that, after being decommissioned, was secretly converted by the military into a secret prison for felons and military criminals.
Within the military, it was known as the "Impossible Prison" because the entire Moses Prison floated in low-Earth orbit and was guarded by a whole company of heavily armed Union Marines, who would change orbit once a month, dock at the Starport Ascending Station in synchronous orbit for resupply, and spend the rest of the time moving at high speed in Forbidden Earth Orbit.
If any prisoner could escape from Moses' prison, he would only be in deep despair when faced with the outer space.
Combi calculated as quickly as possible that there would be a docking supply today, which means that Gladstone and Mavis should have arrived in Moses Prison in low earth orbit at this time.
"Infiltrating Moses Prison may be an impossible task for others," Han Jianfei scratched his head, "but we have a joke, just a little effort." ”
Four hours later, a civilian cargo ship named "Stranger" took off from a small island in the ocean with a take-off permit code issued by the Space Administration.
The military security department monitored the launch throughout the entire process, just as every civilian launch during this period, and under normal circumstances, this kind of commercial space activity that does not use a ladder is only aimed at low-earth vehicles, and they pay more attention to the movements of deep space vehicles.
So, after tracking the small cargo ship into orbit and making sure it was not doing anything beyond its permission, the security services turned their attention to other targets.
So, they didn't notice that when the secondary thruster separated, a small black shadow broke out at the same time.
In fact, there is no trace of that black shadow on the electromagnetic radar and mass radar of the monitoring center.
The Stranger rover continued its voyage in low earth orbit, but the Black Shadow, after floating for some distance, quietly changed orbit several times and entered a higher orbit.
An hour later, somewhere over the Eastern Ocean, the dark shadow met the orbit of the Moses prison platform.
That black shadow was Han Jianfei's mobile armor, and on its back, mounted Dobby, which was folded into a backpack.
The exoskeleton armor was originally designed for ground street warfare and landing warfare, and in the vast expanses of space, this design is of little use, but Han Jianfei modified this armor to strengthen the airtightness and gas propulsion device in order to allow it to fight in space for a short time.
But he himself did not think that this method could be used for space infiltration.
If this operation can be successful, he has even thought of mass-producing this armor to carry out boarding assaults in fleet battles.
But now is not the time to think about that. He lurked in the blind spot of Moses' prison, quietly waiting for the behemoth to approach.
In fact, no one can sweep a company by themselves, even if this person is Han Jianfei.
When Moses Prison came into view, the swarthy mobile armor remained silent, and as long as Dobby's calculations were correct, he and the space prison would eventually meet quietly at some point.
More than forty minutes later, Han Jianfei's swarthy mobile armor quietly entered the traffic corridor at the junction of the Fifth and Seventh Districts.
The mobile armor stands up and enters the simulated gravitational field.
"Gravity Recovery." An electronic synthesis chime sounded in the cabin.
Dobby, loaded with the Engineering Module, jumped off the back of his dark armor and transformed into an all-terrain engineering vehicle.
"According to the original plan," Han Jianfei said to it, "you are in charge of attracting their attention, and I will go to Mayvis to keep in touch with any new developments." ”
"I say, old Han," Dobby's electronic voice rang out from inside the armored capsule, "aren't we a little reckless, why do I think this plan is more of a gamble?" ”
"Who are you? Did you kill the tease I knew? The trolls I know will never be cowardly when they are reckless. ”
"I think it's a problem with this engineering vehicle module, you know? Before you come back, I've been thinking about the question, why does my personality change so dramatically when I load different functional modules? I was close to having an answer......"
"Stop, let's get down to business." Seeing that the combat state of the mobile armor was ready to be completed, Han Jianfei moved his limbs and made a few warm-up movements, "Shield visual monitoring, share the area map, and after three minutes, create a decompression accident at the place where we enter the platform." ”
The black armor silently ran towards the holding area deep in the prison.
Three minutes later, Dobby blasted a hole in the bulkhead of the platform's Sector 7, and a strong air current enveloped all small unsecured objects through the hole, leaking out into space outside the capsule.
The shrill sirens sounded throughout the prison, and the soldiers closest to the cave entrance ran in a panic and temporarily blocked the hole with an expanded rubber bullet.
"Invasion detected in Sector 7," the soldier shouted into the communicator, "no intruder in sight, decompression accident has been dealt with, send an engineering robot, request reinforcements, expand the search!" ”
The soldiers followed Dobby's deliberately arranged trails in the direction of District 9.
More soldiers began to assemble and search for Sector 9 in the direction indicated by the first man, and a few minutes later, an engineering robot appeared in the area of the incident.
As soon as the robot entered the accident area, Dobby took over control.
"Old Han, I've started making decoys," Dobby commanded the droid to follow behind the pursuing soldiers, "the prison force deployment has been sent to your armor. ”
"Roger!" Looking at the blue-and-white topographic map on the auxiliary display and the red dots in the map, Han Jianfei replied.
He is in a food waste recycling tunnel, quietly waiting for the results of the analysis from the cell camera.
The leftovers around him were definitely not comfortable, and even through the heavy armor and anti-charge fluid, he still felt the smell of rotting food constantly tormenting his nostrils.
A minute later, Dobby traversed the entire prison's surveillance system, finding no clues related to Mavis.
"There are two possibilities," Dobby's electronic voice rang out from the liquid-filled cockpit, "One, Mavis isn't here at all, and two, Mavis isn't being monitored at all. ”
"The first one is impossible." Han Jianfei said, "Gladstone is here, Mavis must be here - the movement is bigger!" ”
Dobby, disguised as a prison engineering robot, emitted a hum of unknown meaning.
A minute later, a storage room in Sector 3 and a gravity-free training room in Sector 9 exploded at the same time, but surveillance still failed to capture the intruder.
"Found it!" Han Jianfei finally waited for the result he wanted, and on the troop deployment map, he found that no matter how they were induced by the explosions everywhere, the density center of these red dots had hardly changed.
Based on his understanding of the Lianmen fleet, this kind of deployment is generally used for VIP escorts, and the purpose is to send the maximum possible force to the target point in the shortest possible time in the event of an accident at the guarded point.
It was not a detention area, but somewhere in the living quarters.
Han Jianfei crawled silently on the maintenance floor, sneaking towards the calculated center point.
He had basically established that Mavis was there, that it was the high-ranking officer's quarters, and it seemed that Gladstone had not given up his dignity as a high-ranking officer, even when he was on close duty as a close officer.
Mayvis sat at a high-end solid wood dining table, gently flicking the steak with a dinner knife, and muttered, "Why is he here?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a swarthy steel giant nearly three meters tall fell from the ceiling.
Its movements are light and completely inconsistent with its size and weight.
A piece of ceiling was smashed down, and when it was still a dozen centimeters away from the dining table, it was firmly grasped by a large steel hand.
"I'm not too late." An electronically synthesized voice, coming from a motorized armored loudspeaker.
Mayvis smiled: "It's a little late, the steak is gone." ”
"It's okay, I've eaten." Looking at Mei Weisi, who was still scarred, Han Jianfei in the anti-load liquid frowned.
"That's right, and I'm not in the habit of preparing meals for uninvited guests." A calm voice came from behind Han Jianfei.
He turned around and saw a white exoskeleton armor standing at the door of the cabin, the sound of which was also an electronic synthesized sound from a megaphone, apparently also a specially made super-mobile armor that had to use anti-charge.
"It's kind of interesting." Han Jianfei said, "When I see you, I'm relieved." ”
"I knew you wouldn't come empty-handed." Lieutenant Colonel William Gladstone said, "So I went and prepared it a little bit, and I hope you like it." ”
"I don't like it." Han Jianfei shook his head, "I like to pinch soft persimmons." ”
"But I prefer to gnaw hard bones."
"The fleet's latest mobile armor operation tutorial was written by me, do you think it's interesting for you to fight me?" Han Jianfei said lazily.
"Really? That's good news for you, the tutorial is about to be revised, and the writer this time is me. ”
The two chatted with each other and were stalling for time.
Gladstone was waiting for the deployment of troops on the ground, and although he was belligerent, he was not stupid, and if he was defeated, he would not be able to let the underground king, who was enough to influence the political landscape of the alliance, escape.
Han is waiting for Dobby to complete control of the entire prison platform.
Soon, Gladstone took the initiative to end the unnutritious procrastination: "Let's fight here?" ”
"Yes, but let her go safely." Han Jianfei knew that he couldn't continue to delay.
"Rest assured, someone will escort her back to the surface."
"Old Han, the deployment has been completed."
"Then I'll make another request," Han Jianfei said, hearing the signal from Dobby in the communication, "I have planted a lot of bombs on this platform, a lot." Get all of your people out of the way, I don't want to be distracted by those little flies while fighting you. ”
Gladstone was silent for a moment.
Han Jianfei's armor snapped his fingers, and there was a crisp sound of steel impact.
With several explosions, the chamber of one of the holding areas was ejected from the entire platform, and under a precisely controlled explosion, it crashed into the atmosphere below.
