Chapter 5: Pioneer Overture (5)

"Ah......h Cut, someone must have cursed me behind my back. With the whispers of Captain Wu Xiaoyu, the captain of the Blue Bird, the blue-gray starship cut a twisted arc through the universe.

Second Lieutenant Zhao Xinxing, who had just gotten food from the rear cabin and was about to deliver it to the cockpit, struggled to control the tray in his hand while complaining in a fuss: "Ouch, I'll take it." Boss, pay attention, although our Blue Bird is a new product, it can't stand the sun god level is crispy, and it can't withstand such a toss. ”

Although the Helios-class is mainly used for reconnaissance missions in the special service fleet, the classification of this class of starships in the Federation starships is actually stealth special service ships. Therefore, of course, this starship does not have the huge body of a battleship, and the communication system configured inside it can replace the antenna group function of the flagship in a short time, but it is only to the extent of an antenna function.

"It's okay, I've been driving a boat for eight years, an absolute old driver." Wu Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up with his left hand. "What's going to eat at noon today?"

"Eat, eat, eat, you know ...... to eat" For this unobtrusive captain, the second lieutenant who served as his deputy suddenly felt a stomachache, Zhao Xinxing had already realized that sooner or later he would be angry with this partner to death. The family is still waiting for our news, so aren't you in a hurry? ”

"No signal is no signal, what's the use of being anxious." Wu Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, took the lunch handed by his partner, looked down and saw that there were only potatoes and rice on the plate, and couldn't help complaining: "Why is it braised potatoes with rice, what about the braised beef." ”

"The only thing that's fresh is potatoes, and if you don't mind, the portable ration will smell like braised beef." Zhao Xinxing sat in his passenger seat, calmly tore open the seasoning bag, sprinkled the vitamin powder inside into the food, and replied while stirring.

"Uh...... Don't say it, I feel sick to the name. ”

In fact, for the people of the Great Foodie Empire, the taste of portable rations is not as bad as it is said, but compared to freshly made food, the appearance of rations is really indescribable. There's nothing wrong with this kind of pursuit, right?

"Wait, if we can't find a place to set up a relay station, we'll have to live an interstellar drifting addiction." Zhao Xinxing's face is also not good-looking, although he is much calmer than the young and frivolous Wu Xiaoyu, but it is only because of his age.

"It's not that serious, didn't I find a signal a few days ago, there must be a suitable place nearby......" Wu Xiaoyu said so, but he really didn't know the bottom in his heart. The universe is so big that even if there is a black box technology called ultra-optical communication, the problem of signal relay required for communication still exists.

"After all, it's a strange place, and there's nothing wrong with being careful." Zhao Xinxing was eating lunch while paying attention to the content displayed on the screen in front of him. "Besides, there are more than 20 people on our ship, and whether we can go home or not depends on your luck."

The full strength of the Helios-class starship requires forty-six people, but the situation of the special fleet is special, and it is not bad to have twenty-four people on the Blue Bird to drive the ship. In fact, only two lieutenants are natural persons with a complete education in astronautics, and the remaining twenty-two are clones with knowledge of ship operations.

Just as the two officers were laughing at each other and relaxing, the radar system sounded an irradiation warning. Almost as soon as the alarm sounded, four guys in dark blue overalls squeezed into the cockpit, settling down in their respective positions.

"Photon irradiation detected, measured sources: 245, 121, 340, distance of three hundred." Zhao Xinxing quickly recounted the report of the radar system, and did not forget to inform the whole ship. "Attention Ship: Combat Readiness."

"The camera is in place, capturing the optical image of the target, and the data is uploaded." On the left-hand side of Zhao Xinxing, as the information aggregator and the non-commissioned officer in charge of the communication equipment, when Zhao Xinxing's voice was about to fall, he then announced the latest situation. Cameras outside the ship have captured images of the target illuminating the Blue Bird with photonic radar.

"Display on the home screen for zooming in."

Although the opponent is hiding on the dark side of the planet, after making up for the color difference through the electronic system, what appears on the screen is a dark gold starship. At the same time that Wu Xiaoyu confirmed the identity of the starship, the computer system of the Jade Bird also distinguished the other party's model: catastrophe class.

"Calamity class with golden and red colors, Emma Navy's classic livery, pills, this is a disaster-class improved Paladin......" At this moment, the faces of the two officers became extremely pale, and only the two of them in the entire ship knew what a terrible existence they were facing.

"It can support up to thirty-six seconds, so it's fast, it's ......"

Zhao Xinxing couldn't maintain a calm attitude for a long time, and shouted loudly at Wu Xiaoyu while turning on the overload switch of all the equipment at hand. The advantage of the stealth service ship is that it is not easy to be detected, but when it has been discovered by the other party in advance, it can only make the only struggle.

Wu Xiaoyu no longer has any regret for his carelessness in his heart, regret or something, let's wait until he survives to think about it. The blue-gray starship drew a more distorted trajectory in space than before, and the starship that flickered and flickered throughout the area accelerated to the extreme, and the pale blue light that bloomed from the successful start of the jump engine enveloped the entire starship.

When the Blue Bird saw that it would be able to escape, in front of her course, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the pitch-black universe, and one huge spherical space after another emitted a miserable white light.

Wu Xiaoyu didn't need to be reminded by his partner, and he knew what it was, which was a jump interference stance that could interrupt the work process of the jump engine. Fortunately, the small Helios-class maneuverability was very good, and the Jade Bird narrowly brushed the edge of the interference stance.

Although there is still a disruptive stance at work in front of it, Wu Xiaoyu is sure to circumvent the scope of the interfering stance. Under the control of Wu Xiaoyu, the Jade Bird struggled out of the encirclement of the interfering position. And then......

The Bluebird crashed headlong into the fleet's defensive position, and what appeared on the Bluebird's camera was a fleet of thousands of Emma starships, including ten Paladin and forty Cataclysm.

"We're locked."

"Can't get rid of it."

Hundreds of Emma Navy's main guns had already finished aiming, and the cockpit of the Jade Bird echoed with a sharp radar warning, but soon Wu Xiaoyu's frantic voice began to echo throughout space.

"Ah......hh Groove Groove Groove Groove ...... Emma, is it interesting for you to play with me like this? "For Wu Xiaoyu, if she had known that the Emma people were coming with such a huge fleet, she wouldn't have struggled much at all, and just exploded on the spot.

"Yan Huang people? Well, it's still so arrogant under the absolute disadvantage, it's really the special service fleet of the Yanhuang Federation. We have no ill will, just ...... You sabotaged my ambush plan. In the general channel of the Three Kingdoms Combined Fleet, the commander of the Emma people said helplessly.

If you don't agree with each other, you will be ordered to ram your ship, either the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed, or after a successful traffic accident, you will call a group of friends to surround and beat up the "innocent" victims. Such a shameless scoundrel, after the scope is narrowed down to the blue-gray fleet, there is only that one answer.

"Ambush? Who is the target? Wu Xiaoyu was confused, it couldn't be himself. Counting the combat formation in his hometown, it is not worth the strength of a squadron dispatched by the Emma Navy.

"The local natives, their fleet strength is good." The commander of the Emma people didn't know what he had in mind, so he answered Wu Xiaoyu's question, and also made a request that surprised the two. "We are at war with them, and according to the terms of the development agreement signed by the three countries, I ask you to go to war."

"Hey?" Wu Xiaoyu looked around blankly...... Even if it's to fulfill the agreement, look at my little body. So Wu Xiaoyu was noncommittal to the Emma's request to join the war, but instead made a new request: "I want to contact my superiors, can you give a signal?" ”

The Emma did not hesitate at all, and quickly gave a password for the channel. Of course, while sending the password, he did not forget to ask Wu Xiaoyu to ask his superiors for more troops.

Zhao Xinxing, who had been silent beside him, sank in his heart, the Blue Bird, as the vanguard of exploring the new star field, was the first Federation starship to pass through that natural star gate, but now it seems that the Emma people have already arrived here, and even have had several contacts with the local natives.

Well, it seems that it is still a typical Emma Empire-style diplomatic activity, but because the civilization power of this star field is very strong, this time the Emma Empire's diplomatic activity has been slapped in the face again.

One hundred and eighty years ago, when the Emma people first came into contact with the Yanhuang people, the Emma Empire rubbed against the Yanhuang Federation, and then in less than fifty years, the two sides rubbed each other hundreds of times before entering a period of general peace. About one hundred and twenty years ago, the Emma Empire and the Galactic Empire made their first contact, and it was the same diplomatic actions that led to the wrath of the Galactic Empire, and the Starship Force and the Emma Navy successfully exploded each other's fleet of more than 100,000.

"To tell you the truth, as far as the Emma people are superior, those with a little strength will choose war." Regarding the diplomatic methods of the Emma people, Zhao Xinxing sighed with a stomachache. The Emma attitude of being slaves to all non-human races, even though they have been hit twice in a row in the past two hundred years, does not seem to have the slightest intention of repentance. "Looks like they won't be able to handle it again this time."

Zhao Xinxing is talking nonsense, what appeared in front of the Jade Bird was the strength of a squadron of the Emma Navy. The armed forces of thousands of starships, and even the power of a Sun God-level can be seen at this moment, which can only show how powerful the enemy they are about to face is.

Therefore, even Wu Xiaoyu, who has great autonomy, can only contact his superiors at this moment, and it just so happens that they have lost contact with their superiors for several days because there is no signal.
