Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Expedition

And so, after going through disbelief, protests, threats, wailing, and finally compromise... After these sections, the old man's transport, which used to be a Blackjack pirate and is now named "Black Dragon", was finally unmoored. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info specially added one thing: the name of the ship is taken from a pet dog raised by the Leopard King, and he said that that little thing has brought him good luck more than once.

Well, anyway, we didn't see the old ship fall apart on takeoff, and if we didn't worry about the clattering deck and the hull that twitched every half minute, it flew pretty well, and hopefully the Black Dragon would continue to bring good luck to its former owner.

Of course, in addition to the black dragon, there was also the prince's escort team with the number of battalions we saw when we got on the ship, and they were led by a fourth-level top-level reformer, who seemed to be extremely well-trained; It seems that everyone knows when, where, and what they should do. It was thanks to their dedication to every key position that the ship finally took to the ground.

At this moment, fifteen of us have come to the war room inside the ship, waiting for the Leopard King to explain the mission, the previous joke is actually a way for everyone to relieve the tension, after all, we are about to venture across the line of fire, and a gag can temporarily divert attention; I believe that the Leopard King is willing to cooperate with us for the same reason.

Now that we have flown out of the solar system and begun to enter the acceleration phase before the faster-than-light flight, just five minutes ago, the three frigates on the escort mission had separated from us, leaving only the Black Dragon itself slowly accelerating; As for why it was necessary to fly faster than light first, it took three full days to detour to the base point of the jump five hundred light years away, which was completely a security consideration, because the traces of the spaceship after the jump would be left for a long time, and no one knew what kind of detection methods the star pirates would have to ensure the safety of the black star.

As the first generation of the Empire's spaceship, the Black Dragon still uses a rather old plasma fusion engine, and it takes a long time to accelerate to the critical point of the speed of light, so the Leopard King has plenty of time to explain the precautions of this trip.

From the Leopard King's narration, we learned that the Dark Transformation Cup has been held for thirty-five sessions since its inception, and from the completely cloned Transformation Cup when it first opened, it has formed its own system today.

The whole competition system is divided into two parts: the peripheral round-robin and the top 16 knockout round-robin, except for the champion team of the previous session and the representative team of the organizer Blue Rose, each with a knockout name, the other teams must participate in the round-robin first, and the other five teams in each group one by one PK until they reach the knockout round. In other words, if we are lucky enough to make it to the finals as the Leopard King requested, we will have to go through at least nine rounds of life-and-death fighting.

In order to highlight the intensity of the competition, they canceled the more modest intellectual competition in the Modified Cup, leaving only the individual competition and the team competition, highlighting the confrontation and observability; This is also for the convenience and fairness of all parties to bet on the game.

There is another very important thing, which the Leopard King has repeatedly emphasized to us, is that the underground world has found a new way in terms of transformation technology. Whether it is the empire or the federation, there are still many scruples in the operation of transhumans, after all, for the legitimate government, transhuman technology is a troublesome problem in both positive and negative aspects, so it has always been very careful not to touch too sensitive aspects.

And the underground world is lawless, and the first condition for living here is unscrupulous, and the shortage of "S" spores makes them only useful for anything.

But it is precisely because of this that the so-called death and then life, they have instead developed a new transformation system, after so many decades of development, it has gradually become a climate; Therefore, part of the mission of this Black Star Trip is to investigate and explore the content of the underground transformation system. If you can gather really valuable information, you can even change the course of the war! ”

When I said this, the expression on the face of the Leopard King made me feel a sense of reverence for the first time; That's what I've seen on the faces of the two old men, and I've seen on the faces of the old squad leader William, the expressions of people who are willing to give everything for a goal they have identified.

At that moment, I made up my mind that I must do my best to win the championship on this trip to Black Star!

The mission statement lasted for two hours, and we all had a relatively full understanding of the details of the Dark Transformation Cup, and the Leopard King was already dry-mouthed, so he finally announced that the meeting was adjourned, and let each of us go back to rest.

Following the instructor out of the war room, along the winding and unusually narrow corridor, the details of the Black Dragon's internal structure are gradually revealed to us.

This megaton spacecraft, due to the limitations of materials science at that time, could not have an open internal space like the later spacecraft; Its internal structure is a honeycomb pattern, which is the mainstream in the early spacecraft, and its advantage is that each part of the spacecraft can form a relatively closed internal circulation structure independently, so as to ensure the maximum safety of the crew after an accident or attack.

It seems that it is not completely unreasonable for the Blackjack pirate to choose this kind of old spaceship as a battleship, after all, the pirate is a pirate who works with his head pinned to his waist, and his career is risky; If you can keep as many of your men alive as possible in the fight, it should make them more loyal to their boss, right? After all, pirates are human beings, and in order to maintain the stability of the gang, it should not be enough to rely on force to deter them......

While using these cranky thoughts to relax my somewhat swollen mind during the previous meeting, I followed everyone to the corridor in front of a row of cabins, and the instructor who took the lead stopped, turned around and said: "That's it, everyone chooses a room to live in, there are washing, sanitation and entertainment facilities in it, don't go out at night unless there are special circumstances, the structure of this boat is very complicated." As he spoke, he handed each of us a pager: "If you get lost, press the button on it and someone will pick you up." But I'd advise you not to use it, or I'll make you pay for this recklessness, don't you understand? ”

"Yes, Instructor!" We answered aloud at the same time.

"It's good to understand, now go in and sleep!" With his command, we quickly turned around and opened the nearest hatch, followed by the sound of the door closing, and it seemed that everyone was a little tired......
