Chapter 39 Merchant Ships
During Fang Changshou's time in the Starry Sky Academy, several major events happened in the outer solar system, first of all, a large group of cosmic species led by the Marg Giant Ridge Worm Hive engulfed a space port of the Federation, causing tens of thousands of deaths.
The second is that the Federation sent a landing fleet to clean up remote planets such as Yakub and Biondini and sweep away many illegal groups, including the Orangutan Layer Disease Organization.
Fang Changyi was naturally happy about the destruction of the Gorilla Layer Disease Organization, but another thing made him feel a sense of crisis, it was said that the planetary level ninety-nine layer of the Ya Pupil escaped in the sweep, and he didn't know where he went, if he was eyeing himself, it would definitely be bad news for him at the moment.
On this day, Fang Changsan and Kornar came back from their run, and they received a message asking them to escort a merchant ship from Mars to Saturn, and the escort paid them five power stones and fifty thousand federal coins each.
Mentor Xingchen said, "It's been almost a year since I came to the academy, and you are the most advanced among the disciples I have ever led. ”
Kornal laughed, "Shouldn't it be, are you the two worst students in the worst class I've ever had?" ”
Mentor Xingchen spread his hands and said, "I want to say that too, but I'm afraid that other mentors will come and beat us up." ”
Fang Changsan asked, "When will this merchant ship depart?" ”
"Tomorrow." Mentor Xingchen said: "The route from the inner solar system to the outer solar system is not safe, and there are many robbers who are bold enough to drive a spaceship across the sea of stars. ”
"In order to ensure safety, the merchant ship will hire some powerful pilots to protect it before each voyage, you should pay attention to it this time, don't capsize in the gutter."
"Leave this task to us." Konar patted his chest and assured, "With me and Lao Fang here, no one wants to hurt that merchant ship." ”
"You are my proudest disciples." Mentor Xingchen said: "Okay, pack up your things, just arrive before ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and the model and location of that merchant ship will be sent to you with a light brain in a moment." ”
The two said goodbye to the mentor, went back to the room to pack up their things, and then found a tavern and had a few drinks, then got up from sleep and walked according to the position given to them by the tutor.
Fang Changyi finally realized the feelings of Senior Brother and Senior Sister You Meng, after they came out, they didn't want to go back, they were closed for a year, and they felt that the outside world was full of wonders.
The merchant ship they wanted to protect was anchored in the space station above Mars, set sail on time at ten o'clock, and the two of them arrived on the ship at nine o'clock, revealing their identities.
"Hello, gentlemen, please come with me."
A female crew took them to a dormant pod, close to the combat pod, allowing them to quickly come to support if they encountered an enemy.
This merchant ship is very large, loaded with a large amount of supplies, and at least a hundred pilots with strength above the 50th floor are invited to escort it to prevent the emergence of bandits in the Star Sea.
Although merchant ships have specialized combat units and are equipped with many heavy weapons, they will still look pale and weak in the face of prepared pirates, and will need a large number of mechs to meet the enemy.
Fang Changsan and the two of them were wearing the orange and yellow pilot uniforms specially made by the Star Academy, they were outstanding wherever they went, their strength was not the strongest in it, and there were three pilots who had reached the seventieth layer of the planetary level.
And Fang Changsan and Kornal have a sixty-seven layer and a sixty-nine layer, but the status of the Star Academy is very high, and they are treated very highly.
It takes more than a month to reach Saturn from here, and the interstellar journey is very boring, because the distance is long, and it can often take months.
The merchant ship slowly sailed out of the harbor outside the space station, accelerating steadily, Fang Changsan and Konar stayed in the sleep module, and decided to make good use of this month to practice the guidance technique and improve the mental value.
"Do you think that Ya Hitomi man is lying dormant in the shadows, ready to ambush us?" This is one thing that Fang Changyi has always had in his heart.
"Probably not, after so much time, I guess he forgot about us." Kornar analyzed: "He is now being hunted by the Federation, and he will not be free to trouble us." ”
"Not necessarily, it depends on how important the Ya Pupil man named Miao is to him, the pilot on the ninety-ninth floor, no one can stop him wherever he wants, and you have forgotten one of the abilities of the Ya Hitomi people."
Fang Changsan said: "Our two pilots with gold badges are two fragrant buns to him, and they will definitely not let us go as long as they have the opportunity." ”
Both of them are very helpless, they can't stay in the inner solar system for the rest of their lives, and there are still many tasks to hunt cosmic species in the future, if that Yatong person really targets them, sooner or later they will find the door.
Konar said: "My Void Stalker's combat skill has been strengthened to the intermediate level, and he can teleport millions of kilometers in an instant, even if he has great ability, he can't catch up with us." ”
"I hope I don't really meet him."
The two no longer discussed the subject, and the merchant ship had been on the road for five days so far, and it was expected to take another thirteen days to arrive.
On this day, the female crew who had brought them to this sleeping chamber came over and said respectfully:
"Mr. two pilots, the merchant ship is about to sail to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, out of the asteroid belt will belong to the area of the outer solar system, in fact, the area in front is the most rampant area of the Star Sea bandits, and many merchant ships have been robbed in front."
"Okay, we get it." Fang Changsan and Konar stopped practicing the bootstrap and went to the combat module.
The combat cabin has a special reconnaissance device, which can detect the enemies that appear around, and at this moment all the pilots are gathered here, as soon as the two of them appeared, many people's eyes immediately focused on them.
"It is expected that it will take a day and a half to pass through the asteroid belt, and we have a special crew to guard here, so you can go back to the hibernation module to rest, and if there is a situation, the alarm will be sounded as soon as possible."
"The lift table in front is a fast track for pilots to fly out of space in the fastest time."
After Fang Changsan and the two came here to familiarize themselves with the situation, they returned to the dormant cabin, and six hours later, a rapid alarm sounded, and the two quickly rushed to the combat cabin.
Fang Changsan saw that the radar showed that many small red dots were rapidly approaching the merchant ships, and there were hundreds of them, and they were surrounded by them.
The captain of the ship had a solemn face, and commanded the personnel in charge of the weapon system to aim their guns at the enemy, and as long as they entered the attack range, they would not hesitate to shoot.
The captain shouted first, but it obviously had no effect, the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, and the speed of hundreds of ships did not slow.
The captain said: "It seems that our luck is not very good, and all personnel are ready to meet the enemy." ”
