In the vast starry sky, the 'Red 19' is sailing at high speed. The 500-meter-long 'Red 19' is very 'petite' among the many cosmic meteorites.

This is the third day after leaving the training base, Ye Chen and the others have finished their space jump and successfully entered the Golden Triangle Star Domain.

This is the most dangerous part of the journey to the target planet 'Cook' in this combat training mission, because the 'Cook' star is one of the most famous space pirate gathering places in the Golden Triangle.

If the intelligence is not wrong, Ye Chen will encounter space pirates on this journey, the most terrifying wolf pack in the universe.

However, on the Red 19, the only person who was really nervous was Ye Chen, a rookie captain.

The other 'people', whether it is the No. 2 and No. 3 robot instructors, or the battleship's main control brain, Belle, are very calm.

It's as if this part of the journey is just a walk after dinner.

As excellent 'soldiers' of the Alliance, they have experienced countless battles and have long learned to laugh at the situation.

"Really, I knew sailing was so boring. I don't want to pass the time with a few small movies. ”

Ye Chen stood boredly in front of the huge observation window in the bow command room, his face full of resentment.

Although the scenery in the universe is very beautiful, it can also make people aesthetically tired when they see too much.

Hearing Ye Chen's complaint, the voice of the battleship's main controller, Zhi Brain Belle, sounded with disdain:

"You can't stand just a few days of sailing? You've never seen a spaceship that can't make space jumps go on a boring voyage for years. ”

“…… A few years of sailing. Ye Chen was speechless for a while, and said after a while. So how long is it until you get to Cookstar? ”

"If it goes well, it will take another 3 days." Belle replied.

"It's going to be 3 days, I'm bored to death." Ye Chen didn't hear Belle's off-string sound.

Ye Chen leaned lazily on the command chair and looked at the ceiling boredly.

After a while, he blinked and said. "Instructors No. 2 and No. 3, don't you feel too calm?"

"You mean the journey?" Instructor 2 said.

"Hmm."

Number 2: "I always thought there were a lot of space pirates on this route.

But it hasn't happened until now. It's a bit weird indeed. If we continue, we'll be on the planet Cook. ”

Cook Star is one of the most famous pirate gathering planets in this chaotic Golden Triangle Star Domain, named Cook, because the largest pirate leader on this planet is called Cook.

Ye Chen saw that according to the information provided by Belle, the star lanes in the vicinity of Cook Star within a few light years should be places where space pirates often haunt.

If they wait until they enter the vicinity of Cook's low-Earth orbit, I'm afraid that no space pirate will dare to attack them.

Because Ye Chen saw that Cook's introduction clearly stated that no battle was allowed within 500,000 kilometers around the planet, otherwise he would be chased to death by Cook's men.

In fact, this regulation is not surprising, space pirates also have to survive, then there will be a trade.

Space pirates don't care how they mess with Cook outside, but if there is a war every day in their own home, then who will come to Cook Star to trade.

Therefore, black and white will have their own rules.

The star field near Cook's planet, this planet is a relatively safe place under Cook's high pressure. Of course, just relatively safe.

"Speaking of cosmic pirates near Cook." Instructor No. 3 took a few steps and was also thinking. Said:

"Maybe they're waiting for us to relax this opportunity."

Belle: "Yes, at the moment I don't have the shield activated, it's not stealth, and it's not shielded from wireless transmissions.

It is estimated that the space pirates near the pop song on the battleship can receive it now.

To put it bluntly, at the moment our warships are as conspicuous as fireflies in the night. ”

Number 2: "Then I don't know, anyway, when the time comes, it will be clear."

Anyway, the route has already been decided, hasn't it? The only thing we have to do is wait until the other person shows up and then finish them off. ”

However, Ye Chen was not really lazy in his heart, he was thinking seriously.

This is the first time he has commanded a space battleship in actual combat, and he must also do the duties of a captain.

Although there is the help of instructors No. 2 and No. 3 and Belle, the main controller of the battleship, the opponent is unknown after all.

If the other party is strong, then hard fighting is something that only a fool can do.

"People still improve their concentration. Belle continued to monitor the nearby star field, and Instructors 2 and 3 returned to their respective positions. Ye Chen suddenly said seriously.

Seeing Ye Chen so serious, the other 'people' were very surprised, could it be that this bad boy has opened his mind?

didn't say much, on the contrary, he was very happy to follow Captain Ye Chen's order and start working.

The 'Red 19' spaceship sailed very fast, and after continuing to sail for 2 days, the Cook Star appeared in the star map on the main screen of the ship's bow command room.

But what is strange is that the space pirates that everyone has been on guard for a long time have never appeared.

The atmosphere in the command room was a little tense, Ye Chen gulped down the level 9 nutrient solution, and finally showed a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

Finally, at the final moment, there are still 3 million kilometers left, and they are about to enter the vicinity of Cook's low-earth orbit.

But the danger that does not appear is the most terrible danger. Knowing that there was a chance of encountering a space pirate, every second of waiting now was like torture.

Seeing Cook Star enlarge little by little in front of his eyes on the star chart, Ye Chen's heart also lifted. He didn't want to go back in the first fight.

If the Space Pirates had not appeared before entering Cook's low Earth orbit, they would have been safe, but otherwise the mission would have failed.

"Calculate the distance and arrival time of Cook Star", Ye Chen ordered.

"Yes, it's counting," Belle replied.

"According to the current speed of the warship, it is 2.9 million kilometers away from Cookstar, and it is expected to arrive at Cookstar in 3 hours and 15 minutes."

"The whole ship is ready for battle!" A gleam flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

He didn't believe that their small space warship, such an easy-to-get 'fat sheep', would not have a space pirate to make a move.

In that case, he would have admitted that the mission had failed.

"Belle is responsible for managing the main guns and secondary guns, Instructor No. 2 is responsible for managing the cruise missile launching units, and Instructor No. 3 opens the cockpit door of the mecha and is ready to attack at any time."

"Belle reduces the power of the engine, reduces the speed of the battleship, and the battleship shield is ready to be filled with 80% energy.

The whole ship raised its reactive armor and prepared for battle. Ye Chen gave a series of orders.

"I have a hunch that this voyage will encounter space pirates." Ye Chen said firmly.

"Understood, sir. Command execution. Belle's voices rang out at the same time as instructors 2 and 3. Listening to the voices, I feel that 'them' are very relieved.

As Ye Chen's voice fell, I saw that the hull of the Red No. 19 ship began to slowly deform.

Large chunks of reactive armor rose from the hull, enveloping the entire hull little by little.

At the same time, the lights on the hull began to go out in pieces, and most of the energy was concentrated on the shield generator.

Gradually...... The glare of the tail thrusters faded, and the entire hull began to slow down.

"Carry out the final positioning of the Cook Star, open the hull camouflage, close all cruise missile launches, put the main and auxiliary guns into the hull, and leave a few outside.

Put on a pop song, just where is the Yiren in that dream. Let's start fishing! Ye Chen said with a sneer.

"Understood, the final positioning is complete, and the hull is covered with reactive armor. The Red 19 entered the low-speed sailing phase.

Shield energy accumulation...... Ten, Nine, Eight...... Is there any ready-to-trigger start-up? ”

"Ready to trigger the start!" Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and he waved his arm violently.

At the same time, he also sat firmly in the command chair on the bridge, waiting for the arrival of the 'guest'.

All the preparations that need to be made have been made, and the rest is up to luck......

And at this moment, Belle suddenly shouted: "The brain radar scan found 3 space pirate warships."

800,000 kilometers away from us, the other party is rapidly approaching us!! ”

"The guests are coming!" Ye Chen laughed.

Belle judged for herself, the shield was ready to open at any time, and the ship's engines were restored to full power, and began to detect the details of the opposing battleship.

We'll rush over and meet these uninvited guests! If the enemy is too strong, the whole ship will turn on stealth and run at full speed! ”

Ye Chen thought to himself: I can't beat it, I can't run away? I'm a good runner!

"Understood!" Belle replied excitedly, and at the same time adjusted the battleship according to Ye Chen's order.

I saw that in the huge earthquake of the ship's hull, the nozzle of the tail engine of the red No. 19 suddenly shone brightly, like a bull in heat, and frantically rushed towards the position of the three space pirate ships.

This scene was obviously detected by the three space pirate warships on the opposite side.

These 3 space battleships belong to a small cosmic pirate gang called the 'Black Coats'.

The first one is a 5-kilometer-long space frigate, and the other two are 2-kilometer-long ordinary patrol ships. Look at the appearance of the old goods of the retired Allied army.

At this time, in the command room of the bow of the space frigate, a young feminine man was sitting in the command chair listening to the report of his subordinates.

"Boss, the fat sheep on the other side is speeding up towards us. Now the distance is about 700,000 kilometers. What should we do? ”。

One of the 'Blacks' said respectfully as he stood next to the command chair.

"What's the other party's situation now?" The young man said softly.

"Boss, we found this 'fat sheep' half an hour ago, and after radar scanning, it was determined that they only have one battleship, and it is a small battleship.

It is a space battleship that is only 500 meters long. Judging from the appearance of the opposing battleship, there are only 7 or 8 main and auxiliary guns, which are estimated to be converted from small transport ships. ”

"Oh, that's right. What else is there that doesn't? ”

"They're playing pop songs all the time, and it's like they're singing and dancing all the way. Maybe it's because I'm getting ready to reach Cookstar. ”

"Oh? It does seem to be a fat sheep. Then they rushed towards us, and they also panicked? ”

"Exactly, Boss! Many of the fat sheep we used to slaughter were based on this reaction. ”

"Okay, let's kill it at full speed, and today it's all 'sheep' feast! But the lion fights the rabbit, and he must use all his strength!

Tell all the brothers to get ready for battle, the whole fleet is full of firepower, and all the mecha units are ready to leave the ship for battle! ”

The young man said fiercely, it was completely different from the feminine style in front of him.

This young man is Peter Chen, the boss of the 'Black Gang', don't look at him young, he is a ruthless man who kills people without seeing blood.

Although the 'Black Gang' he led was just a ninth-rate cosmic pirate gang near Cook Star, Peter Chen was not a fuel-efficient lamp, he had led thousands of bandits in the 'Black Gang' for 7 years and was deeply loved.

It is because his command ability is very good, and he will never take it lightly because his opponent is weak.

Ye Chen didn't know this, he was even happy in the red No. 19 command room, shouting:

"Rush, rush up, I'm going to entertain these 'guests'!"

Because it is the first time to command a space battleship in actual combat, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

In addition, he believed in the strength of Red No. 19, so at this time, Ye Chen was more happy than afraid.

Ye Chen commanded the space battleship for the first time, and this began......
