Chapter 533: Bahamut
The third thing is that with the help of Emma, the "Morning Star" has been modified for the third time, and the energy system, weapon system, radar system, and auxiliary system have been upgraded more deeply on the basis of the original "Aurora" shield, "Zero Prime Particle Space Effect Field Generator", and "Hercules-class Jump Engine".
Because this return to the "Lost Lands" carries many industrial raw materials and mechanical parts, a small number of remains have been repaired, and some of the modules that match the "Morning Star" have been transplanted into the battleship system, including the replacement of the original fission nuclear reactor with a fusion core nuclear reactor, so that the power of the MINI Yamato cannon has been doubled at the same time, the endurance and speed of the battleship in conventional flight mode have been greatly improved.
This does not show that the power of the MINI Yamato cannon is comparable to that of the battleships of the StarCraft Terrans, and it is no longer the particle source and energy supply that hinders the power of the MINI Yamato cannon, but other man-made parts of the "Morningstar" main gun-related modules, which is like an ordinary person transplanting a giant heart, and the blood supply may be excellent, but other aspects are still bound by the old physique.
In addition to the MINI Yamato gun, the radar system is transplanted with gravimeter radar, which forms a dual radar system with the hull multi-frequency radar, which greatly improves the warship's early warning capability.
As for the auxiliary system, two interceptor drones are attached to the left and right sides of the hull, which can temporarily set up a warp detection and interception network, so that the "Morning Star" can obtain the warp speed interception capability, supplemented by the Hercules transport plane's jump mechanism that can brake halfway, and can pursue the fleeing enemy.
To put it bluntly, the current "Morning Star" has completely broken the common sense that "it is difficult to intercept a warship when it enters a warp speed" that is generally recognized by human society, and has changed from a fast destroyer to a multi-purpose warship.
On the 10th day since it arrived in the "Lost Land", the "Morning Star" was refitted, and the commander-class command ship had also completed the bridge widening plan the day before, loaded with a new control system for human use, and was renamed "Angel Quan" by Byron to correspond to Captain Tang's "Seraph".
On the 11th day, at 8 a.m. Morning Star time, the three warships "Morning Star", "Seraph", and "Angel Quan" slowly sailed out of the Ipsilon relay station, started the warp engine one after another, and disappeared into the deep space of "Omega-2".
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Along the gap in the area affected by the dimensional storm, the "Morning Star" appeared on the approach channel of Lokia at about 19:30 p.m. "Jakarta Pur" time on the sixth day after the departure.
In order not to expose their soaring strength in advance, Tang Fang left them in the deep space of the universe 1 light year away, and transferred to the "Morning Star" to enter the "Jakarta Pur" to visit Walton and Joey on the way.
Like his name, the Morning Star has long been remembered and imprinted in the minds of people from all walks of life in the Star Alliance, especially the navy and customs agencies of "Jakarta Pur".
The moment it appeared on the periphery of the warp speed interception net, the immigration inspection department sounded the "alarm", although the "Morning Star" was a little different from the last time, but the outline of the hull, as well as the bow livery and ID of the ship, did not change, and the people of the radar system recognized its origin at a glance.
Thinking that when it first came to "Jakarta Pur" and almost got into a fight with the garrison navy, it crushed the fleet of the Security Bureau, and the chief executive of "Lokia" Clement even risked his life for this, how could the people in the customs department not be cautious, and the news of the arrival of the "Morning Star" was reported to the Navy Office and the "Lokia" government office as soon as possible.
The first to send a communication request to the "Morning Star" was not the customs department, but a connection from the naval command forwarded by the warp speed interception network garrison navy.
The person who asked to talk to Tang Fang was none other than Newton Bell, and because of Johnny's relationship, the two were also close friends.
When he learned that Captain Tang's trip was only to visit Walton, Joey, and Johnny, and that there was no other purpose, Newton Bell put a hanging heart back in his stomach and said, "See you later", arranged for the customs to release him, entered the "Jakarta Pur" through the fast lane, and berthed at a berth at the "Lokia" pier.
Since Walton and Joy were not informed of the specific arrival time of the "Morningstar" before setting sail, there were no people from the "Morningstar Casting" branch among the people who came to pick up the airport at the dock, but some well-informed media people quickly came to inquire about some rumors about the gap between "Morningstar Casting" and "Daystar Pharmaceutical".
The police station to which the dock belongs immediately activated the emergency plan, and some people were assigned to the scene to maintain order, and there was a familiar face among them - Ye Dan, an Asian female police officer who was responsible for entertaining him at the dock police station.
This is the third time the two sides have met, and Ye Dan's gaze at him is a little different from before, if it was fear and curiosity before, now it is worship and shock.
A man with a story will inevitably be attracted to a woman, not to mention that he is young and rich, and famous, and the biggest shortcoming is that he is not handsome enough, but this does not prevent him from becoming the object of women's talk, and even the lover of their dreams.
"Tang Fang, meet again......"
"Yes, Miss Ye has always been good?"
"Do you remember me?"
"I've always had a good memory, and I remember clearly who was bad to me and who was good to me."
"Am I good for you, or bad for you?"
"Of course it's good for me, well, I'm very feminine......"
Claire: "......"
Zhou Ai: "......"
Linglong: "......"
Yingluo: "......"
Yufie: "......"
Ye Dan stared at his big eyes, and his long eyelashes flickered, as if he was seeing him for the first time.
Is this that Captain Don? The guy who killed someone at the dock police station without saying a word? The guy who made an impassioned statement on SNS?
It turns out that he also has such a humorous and narcissistic side!
Ye Dan smiled very happily, this may become the capital she will brag about with her girlfriends in the future, it turns out that Captain Tang, who is worth hundreds of millions and can make Mr. President bow his head, has a naΓ―ve side like all young people.
As the reporters gathered, the pressure on the police increased, and some passers-by stopped and cast scrutinizing glances at him, either with reverence, contempt, excitement, or indifference......
He glanced up at the huge atomic clock overhead, and found that it was 20:47, and the office of the "Morning Star Foundry" in the business district had long since closed, so he told Claire to call Walton and ask about the hotel where the two were staying.
At this time, without waiting for the Uclaire Walton's email number, Ye Dan suddenly smiled and said, "I know where Walton and Joey are now, do you want to take you to them?" β
Tang Fang thought about it seriously and decided to surprise them, especially ...... He looked back at Yuffe, who was visibly absent-minded.
"Don't you still have to work?"
Ye Dan's eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and he said with a smile: "My job is to take care of you, protect you, and ...... Keep an eye on you, lest a figure like Captain Tang make any mess in 'Lokia'. Our director said that as long as you don't poke a big hole in the sky of 'Jakarta Pur' like last time, she will bear what happened. β
She is very smart, she knows what not to hide, and she also knows that she can't hide it in the face of Captain Tang, who can play with those people in the council, so she tells the truth very simply to win favor.
"Take care of me? It's not easy to do......"
Ye Dan was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
Tang Fang glanced at Claire and Zhou Ai behind him: "You have to ask them about this matter first, even if I am willing to ......"
The female police officer was stunned for a long time this time, and it was not until he walked a few meters away that he came to his senses, and it turned out that he ...... That guy actually ...... Actually teasing her!
Next to him, Zhou Ai walked by with a cold face, and Claire stared at his back viciously, but a smile rippled at the corner of her mouth.
Ye Dan was speechless, not knowing what words to use to describe his mood at this moment.
It wasn't until a few people walked out of the dock, got on the shuttle arranged by the police, and beckoned her from afar to board the plane quickly, that they woke up, agreed vigorously, and quickly chased after her.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Lokia" is still a haven for adventurers and free mercenaries, with drunk citizens waiting for the police to take them home in the dark corners of the docks, people walking in pairs and threes on benches on both sides of the road, dishonest couples, and elderly people scratching their dogs.
His arrival does not bring too many changes to this city in the sky, people always have to live, and the game between politicians on TV and the Internet is like a stage play staged in another world for the citizens at the bottom, not far away but not real, because those faces and struggles are not as familiar as the vinegar bottles and oil cans at home, and can only be used as a topic for chatting and relieving boredom, even on the table and above the stone pavilion.
The shuttle stopped at a less crowded dock, and Ye Dan led him, Claire and the others into a few inconspicuous maglev trucks, and drove towards the business district, about 10 minutes, to the door of a bar.
The gray-white city wall, with its retro shape, looks particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the surrounding lights.
On the side of the door hung a dark, shiny skull, I don't know if it was caressed or because of the daily wiping, even the smallest nostrils, there was not a trace of dust or oil.
Iron Skull, is an Iron Skull......
A trace of remembrance flashed in Tang Fang's eyes, it was here that he heard the news of Byron, and it was also here that Zhou Ai once stepped on the two balls of the ruffian named "Hilgai".
I wonder how that kid is doing now? Is the injury healed......
"Tang Fang, what are you thinking?" Seeing him standing at the door stunned, Ye Dan said with a smile: "Walton and Joey come here for a drink every night, if there is no special event or business to deal with, the two of them should have a drink with Arthur and those people,"
Tang Fang said: "Officer Ye, your information is really well-informed, what's the matter?" Did you have a crush on Walton or Joey? If it's Walton, I can help you, but if it's Joey, then you'll have to ask the girl in the back if she says yes. β
As he spoke, he pointed at Yu Fei, who was biting his lip tightly behind Zhou Ai, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be a provocative joke, but Ye Dan can't laugh at all, the expression on her face is very unnatural, she is very smart and sensitive, she feels that Captain Tang has something to say, mocking the Lokia Police Department for putting a lot of effort into Walton and Joey, and even their living habits are so clear.
Tang Fang pushed open the door, walked to the second floor, the oak door creaked softly, and the roar of rock music and wine doors came to his face, merging into the entertainment district where Yin was full of wine and wine.
Claire walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder understandingly, and said, "Don't think too much, it's your duty, and he'll understand." With that, he took her hand and walked into the beer-scented stone corridor.
Ye Dan felt that this girl with blond hair and blue eyes was so gentle, if she remembered correctly, she should be called Claire.
It's still early, and there's still an hour or two before Iron Skull's busiest hour, but there are already a few people, sitting in inconspicuous corners, mostly mercenaries and adventurers, talking about business in a low voice, or a new girl from the shop, who has found a large piece of the wreckage of the Epsilon in the "Lost Lands...... Topics like that.
After Tang Fang went upstairs, the first thing he saw was Walton sitting in front of the bar, with a square cup in front of him, the amber brandy was halfway down, and the ice cubes that surfaced reflected colorful light under the background light of the bar.
Across from him sat a black man with his hair braided and a gold ring on his left and right earlobes, looking like a young black man playing rock music, with a bit of a ninth-rate underworld.
On the solid wood tables and chairs not far from the bar sat the backbone of the original "Garuda" pirates such as Radu Khan and Addison, as well as a middle-aged man with a kind face.
He didn't hesitate, walked straight to the bar, and when he passed the wine table of Radu Khan, the slightly drunk head of Ah San glanced up at him, and then blinked his very characteristic triangular eyes, and was stunned for a while before remembering who he was, and then stood up with a pout, looked at the figure at the bar, and then looked at Claire, Ye Dan and others who came to the door.
"Yes...... Be...... Tang Dynasty...... Tang Dynasty. β
Morgan turned his back to the door, couldn't see anyone coming, and thought that Radu Khan had drunk too much and began to talk nonsense, and said in his voice, "Yes...... Be...... Tang Dynasty...... Don what? Tang Fang? Radu, you're drunk, you're starting to talk nonsense, and it will take a few days for them to arrive. β
Every time he said the name "Tang Fang", he would have a sense of embarrassment, who would have thought that a righteous word at that time could make his life trajectory change dramatically, from a cargo shuttle driver running the dock to the current "Morning Star Casting" Lokia branch of the transport team supervisor, in charge of more than 10 transport ships.
It had been a few months since Walton invited him to join the "Morning Star Casting", and every time he woke up in the morning, he still had a dreamy feeling, and felt that the saying that life was like a drama was very reasonable...... He was able to get 28,000 star coins in a month, which was almost tenfold, and more importantly, the characters he had to nod his head when he saw him in the past were now close to him.
This qiΔ is all because of that name, the name that turned the political situation of the Star Alliance upside down - Tang Fang!
Radu Khan swallowed a peanut bean stuck in his throat, finally stopped stammering, and pointed to the figure sitting next to Walton: "It's really him!" β
Addison and the others also noticed Zhou Ai behind Ye Dan and got up from their seats.
In fact, the moment Tang Fang sat down at the bar, Walton was also stunned, and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but he pressed back again.
It was the black man opposite Walton, the burly figure shook, his eyes widened for a moment, trying to recognize his identity, and quickly snapped his fingers at Josephine, who was dazed next to him, and the next second, a glass of high-end brandy was pushed in front of him.
Arthur smiled slightly, revealing a line of snow white behind his lips: "I have a treat today." β
"Arthur?" Tang Fang glanced up at him.
The black man smiled innocently: "Yes, it's me." β
Tang Fang pinched the square cup and saluted him from afar: "Thank you for that." β
Walton once reported to him that a convoy led by Radu Khan and Morgan was transporting minerals from the nearby "Qatar" star system to the "Jakarta Pur" star system, and was ambushed by the Whitebeard Pirates on the way.
In fact, it was a fishing operation planned by Albert and Poilburn, in order to snipe the branch of "Morning Star Forged" in "Jakarta Pur" and avenge the encounter in Dillar.
Because the pirates have been planning for a long time, they have a clear understanding of the patrol route of the naval fleet, and with the few outdated ships of Radu Khan, where is the opponent of the more than 200 warships of the Whitebeard Pirates, the form is precarious.
At this moment, another pirate group suddenly broke into the war zone, surrounded the white-bearded pirates who surrounded the transport team from the outside, and bluffed the first Buddha out of the body and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, almost scared to death.
Because the halfway Cheng Biting Gold Fleet has an incomparably loud name - the "Bahamut" Pirates, a pirate group that is even stronger than the "Apollo" Pirates in its heyday. No one knows who is behind it, and no one knows its true combat power level, but one thing is certain, "Bahamut" is definitely a super-first-class pirate group in the Tianchao Star Region, and some people even speculate that its strength is already comparable to that of the Third Committee.
Of course, there are only a few people who think this way, you must know that the Third Committee has always been the No.1 pirate force in the Tianchao Star Region, and as a pirate force born out of the old government of the Silver Eagle Regiment, it has a profound background that is difficult for other pirate groups to match.
The strength of "Bahamut" can be compared with that of the Third Committee. R1152
