Chapter One Hundred and Five: The Ancient Battlefield
One hundred and five chapters of the ancient battlefield
Anyone familiar with the history of the Alliance will know about the war that took place more than two thousand years ago between the Human Alliance and the Zerg.
The cause of the war is a bit absurd, a bug nobleman with a lot of status bought a young and beautiful human girl as his slave, served him to dress and eat, and the two actually fell in love after getting along for a while.
The insect nobleman who was carried away by love abandoned everything he had, and he took his beloved girl through the dangerous wilderness star field, preparing to return to the girl's hometown to see her parents, and then the two of them traveled to the sea of stars until the day they grew old.
It's a pity that the wish is always good, the reality is always cruel, at that time, the human alliance and the Zerg have long been tense in order to compete for the mineral resources in the universe, and both sides are hoarding heavy troops in the border area, everyone knows that this war will eventually be inevitable, but it is just a question of when to start the war and who will start the war first.
The poor bug nobleman was just in time for his spaceship to arrive at the border when he was captured by the Human Alliance, and the amorous bug was condemned to death for espionage, and the girl was sent back to her hometown.
Originally, this incident could only be regarded as a small friction between the two sides, and it was not enough to lead to the start of the war.
However, when the girl's public speech on TV was secretly sent back to the headquarters by the Zerg spies, the Zerg warriors could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts and went to war in anger.
The girl claimed on TV that she had been kidnapped by the Bug Nobles and was abused day and night, and that their love was described by her as a ploy to escape, and she told people how evil the Zerg were, how she was in a hurry to coax the evil Bug Noble, and how she bravely escaped back to the Alliance.
Of course, the masses who did not know the truth were outraged, and people criticized the cruelty of the Zerg, demanding that the Alliance immediately send troops to wipe out these evil creatures from the star map forever.
The generals and marshals of the Union War Department were the happiest at this point, for the girl had made up the story at their behest.
Their purpose is very simple, the war is imminent, the story of a weak girl who was bullied by the Zerg and finally escaped bravely is the most able to inspire people's sympathy and the fighters' fighting**, it is simply the best war mobilization show.
It's just that the people in the Ministry of Military Affairs didn't expect that when this story was spread to the Zerg side, it became a powerful weapon for the Zerg to propagate how shameless human beings were, and the war that had been brewing for many years finally started in the anger of the soldiers on both sides, and this war was more than 300 years.
From the first shot of the war to the end, after 327 years, 5 months and 11 days, countless soldiers and warships became victims of this war, forever left in those well-known and unknown corners of the vast sea of stars.
After more than 300 years of tug-of-war, the economy and morale of both warring sides had fallen to the bottom, and no one was able to continue the war, so the long peace negotiations began again.
This is really an incomparably absurd comedy for me, more than 300 years of war, countless lives, in the end, in exchange for no one more than an inch of territory, but reduced, the original half of the wilderness star field has become a military buffer zone, and since then it has completely become a paradise for pirates and mobs.
Of course, all of this is what Xia Fei saw from the secret archives of the library, and the Human Alliance, like all government agencies, will never admit their mistakes, they will only whitewash it all with flowery rhetoric.
Xia Fei reminisced about the war as he boarded an Emma Executioner-class frigate, which was rented from Andy for five dollars a day, and then he was going to drive the ship to the battlefield more than 2,000 years ago, hoping to salvage the necessary parts from the wreck.
The Lunar Eclipse cost Xia Fei a lot of effort, Xia Fei never wanted to leave it in the Wilderness Star Domain as a last resort, according to the current situation, the ancient battlefield was Xia Fei's only choice.
"Do you really want me to go with you? I can ask someone else to run for me, that's fine. Sarah said as she sent Xia Fei to the door of the battleship.
Xia Fei smiled slightly, "It's just a matter of using a salvage device to catch things up, I can do it alone, you might as well continue your work." ”
Sarah nodded and said nothing more.
Old Allen watched Xia Fei and Sarah talk from the side, his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, and the folds on his face gradually stretched, as if he was happy about something.
Xia Fei waved his hand at Alan and Sarah, and slowly took off on the battleship, heading towards the ruins of the war more than two thousand years ago.
The Emma Executioner class is one of the smallest frigates in the universe, it has excellent maneuverability, but the armor and shields are relatively weak.
According to Xia Fei's needs, Andy installed two hull detectors and two salvage devices on the ship, which can scan and salvage the wreckage of those warships.
There are countless ancient battlefields in the Wilderness Star Field, and the place Xia Fei is going to this time is a place located seven hundred and forty light-years away from the base, where a small fleet of the Human Alliance was ambushed by the Zerg, and hundreds of warships were permanently left there.
More than 700 light years is only a short distance in the universe, and Xia Fei came to his destination with a jump from the executioner level.
From a distance, the wreckage of warships floats in space, and countless metal fragments surround the wreckage, giving people a feeling of being in a different world.
Operating the battleship into the wreckage area, Xia Fei opened two probes at the same time to scan the wreckage in space one by one, and the results were quickly presented on the light curtain.
Xia Fei has already entered the list of accessories he needs into the computer, and once he finds that there are accessories he needs, the smart computer will take the initiative to prompt.
Due to the relative proximity of this battlefield to the base, it has been salvaged by countless people for more than two thousand years, and Xia Fei spent more than an hour sweeping the battlefield, only salvaging a few insignificant accessories.
These accessories can actually be bought at Andy's place, but salvaging them can always save a little money, so Xia Fei didn't give up because these parts didn't matter.
Picking up the pen with a smile, ticking a few times on the list, removing the accessories that have been obtained from the list, the salvage work has just begun, Xia Fei is very curious about this kind of thing to pick up cheap in the universe, so he feels full of fun to work.
"How long is it going to be like this? Just buy another ship and throw the Eclipse here. The ghost came out of the Mor Stone and said boredly.
Xia Fei gave him a blank look, "Where can I get such a good top-tier warship if I lose the Lunar Eclipse?" You're not in the right mind, and besides, this ship cost a full 700 million stars, and I can't bear it. ”
The ghost sighed and returned to his own little world, "Then you can fish here slowly, maybe in ten or eight years, you will be able to get all the accessories." ”
Xia Fei pursed his lips and ignored the ghost.
The battleship jumped again and came to another wreckage area, where the situation was not much better, and only one part was salvaged in two hours, which was not as efficient as just now.
The novelty of salvaging the wreckage gradually faded, and Xia Fei began to feel bored, and he opened the wreckage distribution map that Andy had given him to look at it carefully.
The star map has marked all the known ancient battlefields, and the green areas are relatively safe because they are relatively close to the base, but these relatively safe areas have already been salvaged by countless people, and the output is very small.
The yellow areas represent a certain danger, either because of the unstable environment or because they are near pirate-controlled areas, the red areas represent the death zone, and the black areas are even less accessible.
Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei carefully weighed it and decided not to scan the green wreckage area anymore, because it would be too inefficient to do so.
The battleship jumped up and came to the yellow danger area closest to Xia Fei.
This ancient battlefield is very large, judging from the number of wreckage and damage, there was once an unusually tragic battle here, countless Zerg warships and human warships overlapped, and the two sides fought very closely, it was simply a lifeless hand-to-hand combat.
The hull detector immediately began to work, and a red laser beam was shot from the top of the battleship, transmitting the condition of the wreckage and the composition of parts to the intelligent computer.
This time, Xia Fei changed his strategy, and he eliminated all the parts that could be bought from the computer one by one, leaving only the thirty-four key accessories that were most needed.
The battleship shuttles nimbly through the wreckage area, searching for what it needs.
About twenty minutes later, the light curtain suddenly flickered, and Xia Fei scanned a complete set of light radar positioning system on the wreckage of a sleeping Gadari-class frigate, although this system is a little old, but it can still be used on the Eclipse.
Xia Fei was overjoyed, and with a light tap on the light curtain, the salvage device immediately began to work.
Salvage is a three-step process, first determine where the required thing is, when the location is determined, a laser will shoot out of the salvage machine, make a circular hole in the thick armor, then the laser beam continues to go deeper, according to the pre-set program to cut the required parts from the hull, and finally a traction beam pulls the parts from the wreckage back to their own cabin.
All the processes are carried out by the computer itself, and it only takes a few minutes from the beginning to the salvage of the parts back to the warehouse, without any manual intervention.
More than an hour later, another much-needed accessory was found, and the salvage work began again.
In such a search of area by area, Xia Fei seemed to see the hope of repairing the Lunar Eclipse, and he manipulated the spaceship to jump in these yellow areas, unconsciously getting closer and closer to those red extremely dangerous areas.
