Chapter 21: Supplies

The miniature spacecraft flies over the container and shoots out a scanning beam to scan the container in its entirety.

"The container is 97% intact and the internal materials are 100% intact. It is estimated that 35% of the materials will be extracted this time, and the remaining 10% will be collected. With the scan, a series of data appeared in front of Chu Jungui.

The scanning is also an unlocking process, and one side wall of the container slowly lifts to reveal a lattice of metal sealed boxes inside. There were about a few hundred of them, but half of them were empty, and similar resupply had apparently been done in the past.

This time, dozens of metal cargo boxes popped out, all of which were captured by the traction beam of the miniature spaceship and sent to Chu Jungui's spaceship. These boxes are marked, most of them are conventional fusion ion engine fuel, half are food and water, and the last box is substance E for space jumping.

The black-armored warrior said, "This is only enough for this supply point, but it's enough to support you to get to the next one." The coordinates and route map of the supply point have been sent, and after 70 hours of home star time, a new guide will be waiting near the coordinates to guide you through the resupply. Well, my mission is done, goodbye. ”

The image of the black-armored samurai vanished, and the miniature ship burned and exploded, turning into cosmic dust.

Chu Jungui opened the cargo hatch, sucked in all the cargo boxes, and then got out of the cockpit, entered the cargo hold, and began to sort out the goods. The food is all super high calorie organic polymers, and then more water. After placing food and water on the shelves and adding fuel to the spaceship, Chu Jungui returned to the cockpit, started the spaceship, and headed for the second supply point.

Although there were some supplies in the container, there was no substance E. The replenished E-matter is not enough to jump to any of the known galaxies in the vicinity, and the coordinates of the recharge point are located in an open area on the star map, a considerable distance from any star sector.

At this moment, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi had no other choice but to move forward according to the guidance. Fortunately, the black-armored samurai and the forces behind it seem to have no ill intentions.

After another ten days of sailing, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi rushed to the second supply point. Here, too, a miniature ship appeared, guiding them to complete the second resupply, and then after giving the coordinates of the third resupply point, it performed a self-destruct, erasing all traces of its appearance.

The third supply point is already in a large barren star field between the Federation and the Tang Dynasty, although there are many galaxies here, but no planets of high strategic value have been explored, and both sides have built some facilities here only for military purposes. With its sparseness, it is not so much a perimeter defense as it is simply to show a sense of presence.

On the way to the third supply point, Lin Xi stabbed Chu Jungui and said, "Do you think that our journey this time is a little strange?"

"It's not surprising, it's very well arranged. Chu Jungui replied.

"Because it is too thorough, it is absolutely impossible for Li Ruobai to arrange these. How can he do that?"

Chu Jungui was inexperienced in this area and waited for Lin Xi's explanation.

"Such a supply point has to be maintained regularly, it has to be kept secret, it is very expensive, and it requires countless human and material resources. Even if Li Ruobai and his father make a move, they can't maintain a few such secret supply lines. He doesn't have any real power in the Li family at all, a container can make him bankrupt more than a dozen times, how can he have the ability to help us like this. ”

"Could it be Li Xuancheng again?" the subject found that his endocrine seemed to be out of balance.

Lin Xi glanced at him and said, "He is much poorer than Li Ruobai." Since I was a child, I have never been invited to a few big meals, and my memory is basically fast food. ”

Chu Jungui felt that the endocrine disorder had become more serious, and said, "Is he so stingy?"

Lin Xi said: "At that time, he was also a student, and in order to learn how to fly fighters, he occasionally had to work part-time. ”

Chu Jungui touched the chip on his chest, and instantly thought of his savings, bonuses and military exploits, a kind of local tyrant's fulfillment and pride arose, and just wanted to say "What do you want to eat, I please!", and then he remembered that because of the marriage robbery, he has now become a wanted criminal in the Tang Dynasty, and those assets naturally can't move a penny.

The test subject was immediately depressed and sluggish.

Lin Xi couldn't help but smile when he looked at him, and said, "Fool, you'll be jealous." She slowly leaned on Chu Jungui's body, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, although it was cold deep space outside the cabin, this small world was very warm and safe.

She grew dazed and drowsy. There have been so many big ups and downs in the past few days that she is exhausted.

After some time, she woke up in a faint light, and suddenly a bright light appeared in front of her, illuminating her so that she could not see anything clearly. Lin Xi blocked his eyes with his hand, and then he saw a fighter plane parked in the deep sky not far away, constantly scanning this side with a dazzling beam.

She woke up instantly, "What's going on?"

Chu Jungui said: "We have arrived at the third supply point, this is the fighter plane that came to guide. ”

"How long have I been asleep?"

"40 hours. "Subjects generally don't lie.

Lin Xi's face was slightly red, in the past few years, she had never slept lazy, so she never knew that she had such a talent for sleeping. Maybe this is the innate ability of every girl.

"You haven't slept?"

"Slept. ”

"How long did you sleep?"

"15 minutes. ”

At this time, an image appeared on the communication station, and the style of the battle armor and outer robe was something that Chu Jungui and Lin Xi had never seen before.

"Hello two, please follow my fighter and go to the rendezvous point. Someone is waiting there to see you. The mysterious warrior's voice was also mixed with metallic noises, making it impossible to tell who he was.

Chu Jungui drove the plane to keep up. The two fighters moved one after the other, quickly heading towards an asteroid belt not far away.

Approaching the asteroid belt, the two warplanes made an arc around the asteroid belt. As the fighter plane moved forward, a towering behemoth slid silently out of the asteroid swarm.

It was a huge starship of more than five thousand meters, and countless vents spewed faint blue light, propelling the giant ship forward slowly. As soon as some floating debris gets close to the starship, it will stir up pieces of blue shield, which will either be shattered or bounced off.

This is not an ordinary starship, but a mobile base.

The first fighter slowed down and gradually approached. As its identity was recognized, a tow speed of light guided it to the berth on the side of the ship.

There was also a towing beam shining on Chu Jungui's fighter plane, and a request was made to enter docking mode.

Chu Jungui pressed to accept, and the fighter shook and slowly flew towards the berth. Moments later, the fighter plane flew into the hexagonal berth, and the landing gear of the fighter made a clanging metal crashing sound, firmly attached to the floor.

As the airtight hatch fell, the lights in the berth brightened, and suddenly the corners of the ceiling cracked, revealing four turrets. Then two more teams of heavily armed fighters rushed out of the side door and surrounded the fighters.
