Volume 6 Chapter 175 Fury-class cruiser
Volume VI One Hundred and Seventy-Five Furious Class Cruisers
The golden signal receiver flickered, and Xia Fei took it out of the spatial ring.
"Old Porter is sending another message?" The ghost asked, poking his head out.
Fei frowned and nodded, although he had dealt with Avril's affairs as soon as possible, but he was still about half a month later than the scheduled arrival time, but he didn't know what Uncle Potter was doing now.
"Urgent, Potter hasn't been back for more than a month, I'm worried about him, speed to the Black Abyss Star Field DLC-113 to find me, Wind Chime."
Xia Fei read the message from the other party, and from this simple sentence, it was not difficult to find that it was not Old Potter himself who sent this message, but his friend Wind Chime.
It is likely that Old Porter told Wind Chime about himself, and then went out and did not return, and Feng Chime was very worried about Old Porter's safety, so he thought of contacting Xia Fei.
"I haven't been back for more than a month, and I can make a trip across half the league for such a long time, so Potter won't be in any danger, right?" The ghost asked.
Xia Fei walked to the console without saying a word to adjust the speed of the Vampire to the limit, and then silently returned to his cabin, "Anyway, let's rush over as soon as possible, judging from the current situation, Old Porter's situation seems to be very bad." ”
……
Gamma Star Field, the only way to get to the Black Abyss from the capital of the Alliance.
On a planet called CH-5286, Xia Fei found a task force where the Adjudicator Guild was located.
Showing the paperwork Thuram had given him, Xia Fei was led by the fleet logistics officer to a tarmac.
Dozens of decommissioned warships of various types were placed in the open air at will, and among them was a bright silver cruiser-class battleship, which was very eye-catching, because among these old battleships, this ship was like new, with a faint silver glow on the outside, and even the portholes were polished through.
The logistics officer with his eyes pointed at the battleship with one hand and said: "This is the Fury-class battleship you want, according to Lord Thuram's orders, I have asked people to renovate this battleship, originally this ship was eighty percent new, and now it is more than ninety percent." ”
Xia Fei nodded, "Thank you, I don't know what aspects of this ship have been renovated?" ”
The logistics officer smiled, "The shell has been re-coated with anti-corrosion coating, and the internal sanitation has been cleaned a little, Master Thuram told me that you are a master of modifying battleships, don't touch the ship's mechanical system casually, if you don't change it to your liking, it will be self-defeating." ”
Xia Fei actually didn't communicate with Thuram about how he would modify the battleship, it must have been told to him by the old man Qin Mang, which was very much in line with Xia Fei's wishes, after all, modifying a ship is like tailor-made, and only the user knows whether it fits or not, and it is not beautiful for others to do it for Xia Fei.
However, Xia Fei did not have time to modify the ship this time, because Potter was still anxiously waiting for himself, it would take at least two months to modify a huge cruiser, and Xia Fei did not have that time.
"I've set up an annex compartment inside the battleship, you can park your own frigate inside, and you can immediately change from a cruiser-class battleship to a guard-class when you need it, and I've equipped you with an intelligent auxiliary drone control computer according to Lord Thuram's requirements." Said the logistics officer.
Xia Fei was slightly stunned, the drone control computer is specially designed to control drones, and with this auxiliary computer, you can assign a large number of drones carried by the Fury class to your vampire.
For example, the Vampire's main weapons are the Energy Marauder and the Pulse Laser Cannon, and while the firepower is superb, it is a bit lacking against the larger cruiser-class ships.
With this attached computer, the Vampire can remotely operate the Fury-class cruiser, and when the time comes, the two ships will be multiplied by the simultaneous operation of a single person under the command of a single person
What's even better is that the Fury class can not directly participate in the attack, but instead assign its own heavy drones to the Vampire to control, so that the Vampire will completely surpass ordinary cruisers in terms of firepower.
Energy Marauders, Pulsed Lasers, and Combat Drones work together, not to mention cruisers, but even larger battleships have the ability to fight with them.
The Vampire is inherently nimble, and it is difficult for large warships to hit it, and when a small warship with such agility has firepower that surpasses that of a cruiser-class battleship, its power is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.
The intelligent auxiliary drone control computer is expensive, and it has already taken a big advantage by buying a Fury-class cruiser Xia Fei at a price of 500 million star coins, and now with this computer and a combat suit and dagger, Thuram's favor is really not small.
Xia Fei walked closer to take a look at this battleship, the volume of the Fury-class cruiser reached an astonishing 1.15 million cubic meters, it was simply a behemoth, with obvious adjudicator badges on both sides of the battleship, it was said that this ship had been sold to Xia Fei as a private warship, and the guild badge should be removed.
"What's going on?" Xia Fei asked, pointing to the huge mark on the battleship.
The bespectacled logistics officer only smiled and didn't answer, and he handed Xia Fei a stack of documents and electronic diskettes from the space ring.
"This is the formality, now that this ship is yours, you can drive it away at will, as for the rest, I don't know anything else."
Xia Fei took the formalities suspiciously and looked through them carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised.
It turned out that Thuram gave Xia Fei a new identity, the special inspection commissioner of the Weapons and Equipment Department, that is to say, Xia Fei went to the Black Abyss this time and had an officially recognized identity as a talisman, so that it became a matter of course that Xia Fei's battleship was printed with the union medal.
The adjudicator union purchases a large number of weapons and equipment from all over the universe every year, and the inspectors of the equipment department are responsible for communicating with various manufacturers to find all kinds of equipment needed by the union.
As for what equipment to let Xia Fei go to the black abyss where birds don't to investigate, only God and Thuram will know.
In short, Xia Fei has now become a librarian of the Tiandui Training Camp and a special investigator of the Weapons and Equipment Department, and the two positions are not in the same mouth, which makes Xia Fei himself cry and laugh.
After spending a day loading the Vampire into the cruiser, Xia Fei piloted the Fury-class cruiser on the road to the Black Abyss.
……
In the cabin, Xia Fei's eyes were closed, and he devoted himself to his cultivation.
Whether it is the thorn, or the Beast Spirit Codex and the Spiritual Manipulation Technique, these are all his talismans, and his cultivation cannot stop for a moment.
The journey to the Death Three-Star Domain is far away, and there is just a lot of leisure time to cultivate, Xia Fei will spend sixteen hours of cultivation time every day, and another three hours to learn the introduction to robot coding that Qin Mang gave him, except for eating and bathing, Xia Fei only sleeps for three and a half hours every day.
For a soldier, the time of sleep is not the most important, the key is the quality of sleep, if the sleep quality is too poor, even if you sleep for twelve hours a day, you will feel tired, but if the quality is good, one hour is enough to restore most of your mental strength.
Drip, drip, drip...
A series of calls came into his ears, Xia Fei stopped his cultivation and turned on the ultra-microcomputer, and Avril's handsome face appeared on the light curtain.
Since going through these many things, Avril has become much more well-behaved than before, and she now does not forcibly open contact with Xia Fei, but tells Xia Fei that she wants to talk to him by calling and requesting.
Sometimes Xia Fei couldn't contact her in time because she was concentrating on cultivation, and she would wait quietly until Xia Fei contacted her.
Xia Fei felt that this was very useful, if Avril forced the video signal on a whim during the battle, it would definitely disturb his mind and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and Xia Fei also subconsciously thought that it was better for women to be gentle and considerate.
"Where have you been?" Avril asked with a little concern.
"If there are no accidents, after seven jumps, you will be in no man's land." Xia Fei said.
Avril pouted and said, "No man's land is not within the scope of the Alliance, so there is no Star Network, it will take you at least a month to reach the Black Abyss from the edge of the Alliance, and I won't see you in this month." ”
Xia Fei smiled, "What?" Can't bear me? ”
Wei'er nodded very seriously and said: "You must be the first to contact me when you arrive at the Death Star Domain, I am persuading my father to include this no-man's land in the scope of the Star Network, but he just refuses to agree." ”
Xia Fei was speechless for a while, it was a shame that Avril could think of placing Starlink equipment in a no-man's land, not to mention anything else, the annual loss alone was enough to bankrupt Starlink, and Newman certainly couldn't expand Starlink to here.
In order to fulfill its promise of 'Starlink covering the entire alliance', Starlink has set up a communication line from the alliance to the death of the three-star domain, and the annual maintenance cost of this line is equivalent to 20% of the company's total profits.
"If even this no-man's land is connected to the satellite, then the connection between pirates will be smoother, so that the spaceships passing through here will not be able to run even if they want to." Xia Fei said half-jokingly.
"Yes, the Star Network is for the people, and it would be bad if it was used by these pirates." Avril nodded, "But without the Star Network, I wouldn't be able to see you." ”
is about to enter the no-man's land, Avril is even more worried about Xia Fei, the two of them talk for several hours, and when there is a jump into the no-man's land, Avril reluctantly closes a light curtain, and tells Xia Fei to be careful or something.
This kind of heartfelt concern touched Xia Fei very much, and he thought in his heart that he would treat her better when he went back.
Sailing in the vast sea of stars is lonely, especially when this sea of stars is full of dangers.
The landscape outside the porthole changes every day, and the colorful nebulae can't help but be fascinating.
Thirteen days later, Xia Fei used the navigation system to calculate, due to the complexity and changeability of the sea of stars, the speed of progress was slower than expected, and it was only a third of the way in thirteen days.
"It's too slow." Xia Fei said to himself: "If you go on like this, you won't be able to pass through the no-man's land for forty days. ”
His fingers kept tapping on the light curtain, and Xia Fei wanted to find a closer route and rush to the black abyss as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a faint distress signal was captured by the communication system, and judging from the signal strength, the other party was about a little bit away from Xia Fei...
