Chapter 61: Limited Edition

"Why?" Falcon frowned, trying to ask Lu Lu a reason. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"We are the only ship in the entire fleet registered in the Yanhuang Federation, and all the crew members do not have federal nationality, which means that no matter what happens to this fleet, as long as it does not threaten us, there is no problem." Lu Lu chuckled, looking at the reluctant look on Falcon's face, and became more and more happy.

"Uh, I see."

"I didn't say you couldn't do it." Lu Lu smiled and shook his head. "After all, according to the original agreement, we also have the responsibility to protect the fleet."

"Then I'll go to Gnaku to get ready."

"Don't be in such a hurry, Falcon, looking at the current situation, it will take some time for the fleet to adjust its course, and the pirates should sneak up from the rear when we enter the next stargate. At least three hours or more left for you to consider doing something else. ”

"I know that very well." Hayabusa's forehead hung with a black line of dissatisfaction.

"Of course, pirates are my real profession." Lu Lu raised the cup with the drink in his hand and shook it leisurely. "It's you, you're just a pirate, and even if you kill them all, you won't have any sense of accomplishment."

"It's everyone's job to maintain peace in the universe, General." Hayabusa, who was in a particularly good mood, said in a brisk tone.

Pirates are a profession with a long history, and since the beginning of human activities in the universe, this profession has grown from the so-called piracy, accompanied by the commercial activities of human beings in the whole universe, and the number of pirate groups registered with the Ministry of Integration has exceeded four figures. In recent years, the wars between the five empires have led to a sharp decline in the security of major galaxies, and the number of pirate groups has increased dramatically.

Since the Yanhuang-Emma War, illegal activities with a national background have become more frequent, which is known as the emergence of privateer fleets. Hawkers, in general, the deterioration of public security in the universe is absolutely related to Lu Lu's nonsense.

……

As the minutes ticked by, the huge fleet had completed the replenishment of the engines, and all the ships in the fleet that were ready to make the jump signaled to the fleet leader.

"This is the blue fleet, and there are twenty minutes to open the jump wind tunnel, and all ships must reach the designated position within fifteen minutes, repeat."

"Ahh Listening to the sound coming from the flotilla channel, a smile appeared on Lu Lu's face.

This kind of fleet notification is absolutely unheard in the Federal Navy. The regular army strictly limits the time it takes to replenish energy, the time it takes to make adjustments, and so on. The Imperial Navy, which has a combat link system, will never appear before the jump and frequently make preparations and announcements.

Lu Lu opens the unique channel of internal communication and connects to Falcon. This guy with too much energy has been waiting on his space fighter for a long time.

"Hear the announcement, the first wave of pirate attacks is coming. You will pop up three seconds after engagement. Lu Lu, who was in the cockpit, just said leisurely.

There are still many veterans with combat experience in the escort team hired by the blue fleet. And everyone knows that the minutes before the jump are the most dangerous times, and usually during this time, everyone raises their vigilance. However, since even the North Wind spent a considerable amount of effort to determine the existence of pirates, it shows that the other party is very skilled in the technology of concealing their whereabouts, and in this regard, this pirate group may not be simple.

Although he was wary of the existence of pirates in his heart, the first appearance of the pirates still made Lu Lu show a surprised expression.

……

There are tens of millions of industrial groups in the universe that can build starships, however, most of them can only build civilian ships. There are only 33 enterprises registered in the Ministry of Integration that can participate in the manufacture of military starships, and in the case of the Federation, there are only two enterprises that can produce battleships.

Through the restrictions on production enterprises and raw materials, the performance gap between military starships and civilian starships is almost equivalent to the endless sea that divides the border between the Galactic Empire and the Klingon Republic.

In short, among starships of the same tonnage, military ships are several times higher than civilian starships in terms of firepower, defense, and maneuverability. Therefore, once a pirate has a military-grade starship, it is equivalent to a disaster. However, in this regard, Lu Lu, who dared to sign a battleship sale and purchase agreement with an angel company, was really a bold guy.

Even if the warships in the agreement are obsolete from the Federal Navy, they will eventually be commodities that will enter the market. But, in any case, it can't just be so bold to sell to a pirate organization, or the notorious pirate organization. Unfortunately, both the top brass of the Federal Navy and the top brass of Angel Enterprises seem to be quite satisfied with this deal. At the very least, the Federation, which has obtained the armor synthesis materials of the Emma battleship, has made full progress in the hull reinforcement project, and the Angel Enterprise does not have to risk provoking the entire Federation Navy, just to obtain the construction materials of the cruiser, to sneak attack the stationing of the Federation's local fleet.

In the pale green space, the unique brilliance of metal reflects a little bit of pale blue. Orange-red light flickered in the dark starry sky. Then, a streamlined frigate in the flotilla exploded violently, and with the flash of the explosion, the flotilla channel was filled with chaotic sounds.

"There was an explosion on the Boshi XII, and it was impossible to hold on." Boshi is the code name of the escort fleet hired by this fleet, and it is also the strongest armed force in the entire fleet. ...... other than the North Wind

"Is it an enemy attack?" It's good to use affirmative sentences......

Lu Lu listened to the doubts and surprises in his words a little speechlessly, whether it is in terms of the current manufacturing process or the reputation of the mercenaries in the universe, it is impossible for such a ridiculous accident to explode due to mechanical failure during the voyage.

"It's like a catapult attack." It's not like, it's simply a catapult attack.

At present, most of the pirates in the universe use catapult guns, one is that the process is simple, and the technical content required to operate it is very low, and the other is because its price is extremely low.

"Damn, who saw the source of the shelling?" Watch the video by yourself, is the unmanned camera just an ornament?

"Pirates?" This is absolute nonsense.

Attacks on any target on public waterways are considered acts of piracy. The navigation regulations issued by the General Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Integration can be very clear.

……

The entire fleet was full of panicked voices, which is understandable, the fleet that was originally making the final adjustment after making a jump fell into chaos in the inexplicable explosion, and the hired escorts had no way to concentrate on fighting back at the moment, after all, they didn't even find the opponent's position, and if they wanted to fight back, they couldn't find the target.

Lu Lu reluctantly turned off the fleet channel and continued to listen, maybe Lu Lu would plan to go back to his old job. For example, simply teaming up with an unknown group of pirates to loot the fleet or something.

By the time the entire fleet has quieted down, it will be at least a few minutes later. If you're on the battlefield, these few minutes are enough to tell the difference between victory and defeat.

"My biggest mistake was to join this makeshift fleet. It looks huge, but in essence it is a fragile caravan. Lu Lu took a big sip of Kufei, opened the internal communication with his left hand, and inadvertently shook the drink jar with his right hand. No, I'm going to be. ”

"Falcon, I sent the location of the previous budget to the information center of the space fighter, remember to turn on the marking device, otherwise it will be killed by 'my own people', but it will be really funny."

"Your own people? Just those idiots who haven't figured out the problem yet? You're kidding...... Well, the sortie is ready to complete. Looking at the small green light on the control panel, Hayabusa immediately calmed down.

…………

Generally speaking, Federation-made starships have a special channel for space fighters to attack, however, the North Wind is not a Federation starship, and there was originally no dedicated Gnaku for space fighters. It's just that a long, long time ago, Lu Lu tried to modify the drone's sortie channel, and then, there was a passage that was barely for space fighters to pass through.

It's okay when it's sortie, after all, the other side of the passage is the vast universe, and a large catapult can provide enough sortie speed. It's just that when I come back, it's more troublesome, the central control system of the North Wind seems to dislike the laser navigation system, and the guidance system produced by no matter which enterprise produces the system is not compatible, so when the fighter returns home, it can only rely entirely on the pilot's ability.

However, Lu Lu did not tell Hayabusa about the precautions when returning home. Well, anyway, according to Hayabusa's technique, there is no problem in returning home safely, at most it is just a little frightened.

In the shadow of the asteroid, several armed ships with a length of thousands of meters slowly sailed out. It has a beautiful teardrop-shaped hull, all painted blue, like the color of the sky.

The large blue ship at high speed, with an orange glow at its tail, ignored the cannon fire of the hired escorts and quickly approached the huge fleet.

"Ahhh......h This is ......" Hayabusa's surprised voice came from the North Wind's communicator. "Peregrine Falcon Type 22?"

With a total length of 15 meters, four small missile launchers, which can carry up to 72 light missiles, and a theoretical maximum speed of 36,000 kilometers, this all-gray painted space fighter, named "Peregrine Falcon", is not only a model, but also the favorite name of various users in the universe.

As the name suggests, the fighter with its ultra-high-speed flight and ferocious combat capabilities is one of the most widely used in the universe. Whether it's attacking a starship or fighting other fighters, the Peregrine Falcon series has dominated the top of the crash list for decades.
