248 And there are more pots of
When it re-entered the Gao'an system, the Weasel turned into a merchant ship registered with the Empire, and the identities of the three Bloodraider Outer Pilots were used.
Hong Tao felt that it should be safe to do so for the time being, unless the bloodraiders carried out a population census and had to communicate with the Emma Empire and the Unification Department in time, otherwise these identities would not be exposed in a short time.
In fact, he is still too conservative, and the three identities are now unclear even to the bloodattacker. Originally, it was a fake identity to fool the Unification Department, and even the people and ships were gone, and God knows if it was destroyed in the battle, or it was blown up along with the supply points.
"What! Canedi and the Empire at war? "When Hong Tao got in touch with Old John in the orbit of Planet Six in the Elmora System, he heard how big the pit he had dug was and actually led the two countries into a state of war.
"War hasn't been declared yet, but it reads on the news that the Unification Department has sent four fleets to station on the border between the two sides, and the empire is almost divided, and the Lady Cutis of the Tashmungon family forced the emperor to compensate her family for the loss." This time it was Anhaka who spoke, and I haven't seen him a little fat for more than a year, but he is still so short.
"What do the Tashmungon family have to lose? Did they join forces with the Canedys? "This introduction directly confused Hong Tao, could it be that the empire attacked the territory of the Tashmengon family? It shouldn't be, in that case, the empire is actually on the verge of splitting, the war should have started a long time ago, and it will be difficult for the Unification Department to control the situation in such a short time,
"You don't know yet? The Bloodraiders and Sasha joined forces to take advantage of the fierce battle between the Empire and the Kanidi Kingdom on the border, and captured a living planet of the Tashmungon family, robbing more than a billion people and killing hundreds of millions. Oops, it's miserable, there's a video of the planet's surface in the news, and it looks like it has been hit by 10,000 asteroids...... I sent you the video! ”
Old John and Anhaka certainly didn't know that Hong Tao was responsible for this disaster, and the only one who knew was Claire, but the Weasel should have been shuttling around the Sovereign System when she sent the message, and probably didn't receive it. Adhering to the principle of having excitement and not watching the bastards, Anhaka portrays a human tragedy as a big drama, not only for him to enjoy, but also to spread the happiness.
The video was shot very clearly, as if it was taken by some Imperial journalist from the atmospheric shuttle. The surface of the planet is not as unbearable as Anhaka said, and the large-caliber railgun is not as powerful as the asteroid, at most it will blow up a crater in a radius of several hundred meters from the ground.
But a high-velocity impact can cause a shockwave that is no less powerful than a direct hit, especially for vulnerable humans and unprotected buildings, and a single railshell can sweep away everyone and buildings within a radius of one or two kilometers. Viewed from above, the local scene does look a bit like the surface of the moon in the age of the earth, with a large crater connected to a large crater.
"Five hundred million? How can so many people be caught? However, the host in the video also said that a rough estimate of the loss of people is almost 500 million, including those who were captured, killed, and later poisoned by toxic gases due to volcanic eruptions, etc., Anhaka is obviously exaggerating.
But 500 million was an astronomical amount for Hong Tao, and he couldn't even imagine how the Bloodraiders and Sasha had brought so many people out of the atmosphere to an out-of-atmosphere freighter in less than a day, even if the well-trained planetary ground forces were running in a queue on the shuttle.
As a result, he began to wonder whether the imperial government deliberately overstated the figures in order to attract attention and sympathy from the outside world, and sometimes misery was also one of the diplomatic methods.
"The landing ship has a large towing beam, which only needs to fly at an altitude of several hundred meters close to the ground, and can grab any object and person into the cargo hold at any time. It is then loaded into a container and launched into planetary orbit with an accelerated orbit, where it is collected by the cargo ship itself. If the Bloodfighters alone can't take away too many people, they don't have that many landing ships, but the Sasha people do. Sandra was also watching the video, and casually gave standard answers to Hong Tao's questions, and guessed the reason for the cooperation between the Bloodraiders and Sasha.
"It's not a planetary gathering device, and people can be launched like ores?" The method Sandra said Hong Tao had seen, wasn't that the way Old John used the planetary gathering device to transport goods?
In order to reduce transportation costs, planetary acquisition equipment does not need to rely on manned shuttles to and from the surface and planetary orbits, but uses accelerated orbits to launch a special cargo container like a cannonball, and finally stays at a certain point in the synchronous orbit, and then the unmanned cargo ship picks it up according to the coordinates.
However, this is only suitable for goods that are not afraid of cold, lack of oxygen, and squeezing, and I have not heard that people can also be collapsed, so the gravity caused by the large acceleration does not crush people into pulp!
“…… There are special containers for transporting people, the largest can carry more than 40,000 people at a time, and the life-sustaining system inside can provide everything necessary for life in a short time. However, it is not pleasant, and is usually only used for military purposes, such as the rapid deployment of planetary forces. There may be some losses for ordinary people, but most of them are still fine. ”
For the ignorance of her teacher, Sandra expressed limited contempt in her consciousness. You have the time to study ancient civilizations, why don't you have the time to think about modern civilizations?
"Then I'll just throw you down in a container!" Regardless of whether it is limited or not, Hong Tao clearly felt it anyway, so his little eyes glared and began to look for evil stubble. Whenever he said that he couldn't help others, he would take such methods to surround Wei and save Zhao.
"I've served in the Imperial Planetary Force, and I've been thrown down and launched more than once, but I'm afraid that a few of them won't be able to stand it."
Sandra really didn't mean to contradict the teacher, but she spoke more straightforwardly and didn't understand the meaning of tactfulness. It is estimated that she has been mixed in the Blood Raider for so many years and has made so many military exploits, but she has not been promoted because of her personality, and no leader likes such subordinates.
“…… Isn't that going to be on my head too? Hong Tao simply didn't raise the bar, what he was most concerned about was not how many imperial slaves died, nor how many bloodbathers captured, but how to distribute the responsibility for this tragedy. If you really want to go back to the roots, it seems that you have to bear a part of it.
"I don't know exactly what's going on...... "Sandra is so blunt that she won't say anything comforting.
"......" Hong Tao was choked with a big neck, clicked his mouth, ignored Sandra, and began to chant poetry in his consciousness. Sandra didn't speak well, but she reminded herself and hurried to find someone who understood. Who is the one who understands? Whoever can understand his own poems is!
"Stick, there are a large number of mobile signals approaching, do you need to avoid them?" As soon as half of the poem was chanted, the voice of the uncle, who was neither salty nor light, neither yin nor yang, echoed in his mind, which scared Hong Tao for a while.
Wouldn't it be that you're being targeted again? It had just been less than an hour after arriving in the planet's orbit, why did the pursuers come, could it be that their spacecraft was equipped with a positioning device? Or is there a ghost in the spaceship?
No, unless the uncle has defected, who can install a beacon generator on the spaceship under the supervision of the two masters? The New Eden Human's beacon generator doesn't have such strong anti-detection technology.
It's also unlikely that the ghost is inside, in the same way, any signal sent and received by the spacecraft must be processed by the master of the spaceship and the uncle, and no abnormal signals have been found so far, how did the other party track it?
After rejecting two speculations in a row, Hong Tao really couldn't think of other possibilities. Fortunately, the Weasel has always been invisible, and if the other party can find him accurately, then simply surrender.
"Can you confirm the other party's route?" At critical moments, he needs to be calm, and Hong Tao is very calm, or he has experienced too many dangers and is tired.
"It can probably be calculated...... Uncle Qin quickly sent over the coordinates of the galaxy, and marked a bright yellow dotted line on it.
“…… Send an electronic warfare drone to reconnoiter near the route, let's not move until we determine the identity of the other party! "The route marked by the dotted line is to Stargate, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Weasel.
But Hong Tao still did not relax, if he wanted to capture a warship in a galaxy, the first thing to do was to block the stargate. However, there are a lot of stargates in this galaxy, a total of 5, and it doesn't seem to be useful to block one. Who the other party is and what they are here for, we have to continue to see.
