Chapter 12: Hunting in Deep Space (Part I)

The starry sky of Gaia has a magnificence that no other galaxy has ever had. Dense celestial bodies are arranged in the inner and outer rings of the system, and the strobeling light indicates that the tight fortifications are in full swing. And the most fascinating thing is the eight antimatter planets with rings in the middle of the galaxy, emitting a honeycomb-shaped light.

The carrier ships lined up from the Kuiper Belt to the planet Gaia, connecting into a string of silver beads of light pointing to the Blue Zone. In the orbit close to the planet Gaia, another planet emits a faint light, Zeng Yuquan expected, this is the planet whose ecological achievements are progressing faster than the parent planet!

The planetary cannons captured from Carmon sit on the edge of the orbit of these antimatter planets. According to the deployment of the fortifications, the other side of the track will also be equipped with this cannon made of Blue Domain.

The tow ship began to slow down 0.3 light-years away from the galaxy until near the Kuibo Belt, where it had dropped below the speed of light. With accurate call signs and precise star charts, no one doubts that this planetary cannon has been held hostage.

Zeng Yuquan had already woken up from the hibernation capsule, and the super force field protection resisted the strong gravitational acceleration for him, but even so, the moment when the stars in front of him turned into a long ray of light and pierced the rear of the tow ship, it was enough to make Zeng Yuquan feel strongly dizzy.

There are eight towboats in total, arranged in a ring on the edge of the planetary cannon. Zeng Yuquan woke up with eight armed men, who were only 10 minutes earlier than the towing captain's wake-up time, but it was enough time to give the armed men time to equip themselves with weapons and threaten them to do what they wanted.

Zeng Yuquan stared at the eight honeycomb antimatter planets, it only took half an hour, and the first planet would be within the range of the cannon, if Dewey did not agree to hand over the power, then he did not hesitate to explode a planet to warn the other party.

The cannon is getting closer and closer to its destination, and the third tugboat, in the empty dormant cabin, the armed soldiers who have woken up are rearming. But to his surprise, when he was halfway through his armament, another hibernation pod also opened with a "bang". The soldier was startled and looked towards the steaming sleeping pod.

The awakened person began to put on his armed uniform according to the established plan, but when he looked around, he saw that the silence was terrible, so he asked the soldier with a questioning face: "What's the matter?" Why haven't they woken up yet? ”

When the soldier heard his question, he let his guard down, picked up the ray gun, and walked naked to the awakened man.

"There's a fault light here, why is this thing so bad, fortunately, it's not telling the superluminal flight acceleration and deceleration phase to have a stage failure, or I'll die."

The soldier ignored the ramblings of the awakened man and was not distracted by the flashing red light, and took a closer look at the number of clothes that the awakened had not yet had time to put on.

"Left arm, left palm, show it to me."

The awakened person stretched out his left hand according to the soldier's request, and the soldier slowly approached his face, and at the moment of approaching, the awakened person's palm turned into a fist and struck the soldier's face.

When the soldier was hit hard, he knew that there was an enemy in the ranks, and his first reaction was to raise his ray gun and attack. Unexpectedly, the awakened person had already made a prediction in advance, and jumped up from the sleeping pod with a roll over, kicked with his right foot, and shot down the ray gun in the soldier's hand.

Seeing the ray gun fall far away to the bilge outside the three compartments behind the awakened dormancy's pod, both of them rushed to grab it as fast as they could.

The soldier wakes up for a long time and recovers all his physical functions, while the one who wakes up stumbles and falls behind.

The lance fell too far into a corner, and the soldier had to lean down and stretch out his arms to catch it. And this time is enough for those who wake up to catch up.

Seeing that the soldier was about to succeed, seeing the hopeless awakened person who snatched it, he tried his best to control his balance, strode across the top of the two cabins, and the moment he approached the third cabin, he jumped upwards and put his feet together, and fell straight down and kicked at the soldier who was fishing for the ray gun.

The soldier was kicked and unsteady and fell through the entire chamber, exiting the other side of the bilge, but by this time he had managed to grasp the ray gun in his hand. However, before he could take aim, he was already restrained by the awakened man who had flipped out of the roof of the cabin.

The soldier struggled to control the hand holding the ray gun, while the awakened man held his wrist tightly, and the two fought with one hand and the other hand.

As the stamina gradually recovered, the remaining hand attacked faster and faster. The soldier was already crushed under him, and the opportunity to resist became less and less, so he kicked his feet desperately to get rid of the control of his feet by the awakened person, and after a kick, his right foot was finally freed, and then he used the freed right foot as a fulcrum to turn over.

The awakened person saw that he couldn't hold it down, so he deliberately used his strength to raise the body of the soldier under him, and then followed his gravity to slap the soldier to the ground again.

Three times like this, the soldier's head was obviously overwhelmed, and began to ignore the existence of the dormant pod, urging the ray gun to shoot wildly. The awakened were afraid of the power of the ray gun, and the hand controlling the ray gun was noticeably lax. This caused the soldier to raise his wrist with difficulty, and the ray slowly approached the awakened.

The awakened person can only bow his body, and as his posture changes, the control of the person under him becomes less and less. Finally, at the moment when the soldier was about to succeed, he used all his strength to control the soldier's forearm joints and wrists with both hands, and desperately broke the direction of the ray gun towards the soldier. When the soldier was startled, the muzzle of the ray gun turned to him, and he could only control his fingers to stop shooting, but the loss of strength made it impossible for his hand to grasp the gun at all, and the ray gun was quickly snatched by the awakened man. Kill the soldier on the spot.

At this time, it had been less than a minute since the captain of the towboat woke up, and the awakened man quickly armed himself with the soldier's equipment. Turn on the communicator, tune to the three channels and start talking.

"I'm Jiang Tianji, and the three of you report on the progress of the operation."

"The second tugboat was successfully recaptured."

"The third tugboat was successfully recaptured."

"Are you Jiang Tianji? Tell you, boy, you won't survive tonight, and soon you'll be like your men, and my ray gun will smash your head. ”

The No. 4 tugboat was obviously unsuccessful in seizing the ship, and Jiang Tianji completely ignored the other party's threat. By this time, the captain had woken up, and the bloodstained corpse on the ground, and the nausea feeling of having just woken up from his dormant state, made him vomit wildly.

Jiang Tianji took a glass of water to the captain and urged the other party to finish drinking before explaining.

"I am Jiang Tianji, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Gaia battleship formation, and the legal handover of the planetary cannon. I now order you to cooperate with me in retaking the cannon. ”

The tow ship originally came from the Blue Domain, and its mission was to cooperate with the planetary cannon to complete the handover. As soon as the other party's identity was revealed, the captain had to fully cooperate.

"Now, everything is under my command, and first use your authority to extend the dormancy time of all crew members to an hour."

"Second, contact the Führer Gaia for me right away."

When Dewey received the news that the planetary cannon had been robbed, it was Huo Qimeng, the head of the Blue Domain, who personally connected him. Just when he was angry that he had sacrificed a brother and mobilized his forces to destroy the cannon, Jiang Tianji's voice appeared in the communicator.

"Boss, we were robbed, don't trust the main tugboat, I'll find a way to rob it back now."

"Okay, got it." Hearing the voice of the second child, Dewey didn't say too much, "You find a way to make it turn, and leave the rest to me." ”

"Understood."

"Attention all ship 123, give me reverse propulsion immediately."

Zeng Yuquan stared at the antimatter planet, and in 15 minutes, the planetary cannon would enter the range, and at this time, it suddenly changed, and it couldn't just fall short.

"Attention ships, the team has been invaded by the Gaians, they are going to advance in reverse, all ships, give up and stabilize the balance, give me the maximum speed, and just get closer to the antimatter planet."

The orders of the two men were given almost simultaneously. In an instant, the planetary cannon, which was moving in a straight line towards Gaia at high speed, shook and then spun wildly under the force of the sudden reverse propulsion.

After the planetary cannons have crossed from the state of flying faster than the speed of light, the speed of all the tugboats has been adjusted to the opposite direction of motion to achieve the effect of slowing down. At this time, the reverse propulsion is actually the same forward propulsion as the movement speed. The entire towing group, losing the reaction force opposite to the direction of motion, continues to move towards the antimatter planet by inertia.

The slowdown of the reverse acceleration greatly reduces the arrival time of the towing group. Zeng Yuquan expected that if he continued like this, he would only need to hold out for ten minutes, and the nearest Eighth Mining Area would be within the firing range.

"Trajectory, trajectory! Push him out of the antimatter mine. Jiang Tianji saw that the distance was getting closer and closer, and shouted at the captain who was manipulating the spaceship.

"Attention to the three battleships, listen to my command, minus 30 ° angle, advance at full load." Each captain is a veteran of interstellar sailing, and his piloting skills and efficiency in obeying orders are at the top of civilization.

As rudder angles are announced, the spinning planetary cannon will always receive a thrust perpendicular to the direction of travel when the three parallel tugboats turn to the inside of the Eighth Mine course, pushing the entire towing group away from the established course.

In interstellar navigation, if the angle is deviated by one degree, the destination will deviate by hundreds of millions of kilometers. Zeng Yuquan recognized Jiang Tianji's trick at a glance. After the three ships provided the strength to push off the orbit, the remaining warships always managed to pull the orbit back in unison.

Ten minutes, the distance was getting closer and closer, Zeng Yuquan had already begun to authorize the remote controller of the planetary cannon, and the scale-like shell was retracted inward, revealing the honeycomb-like dense cannon barrel that was rising one after another.

At the same time, in the Gaia system, the artillery fleet has been reorganized, and the dense warships have set up a barrier in the path of the planetary cannons.

"No firefights." Jiang Tianji had heard of the power of the planetary cannon, and knew that Dewey would definitely do whatever it took to save him, but Gaia's more than twenty years of hard work could not be ended because of this internal split. So, he resolutely dialed the communication of the No. 7 mining area.
