Chapter 30: Change

Pan Wen's fleet returned to the MR241 field to start the second mining trip.

With the implementation of the Small Ship Popularization Order for a month, players who can "turn" into money should start to fully popularize patrol ships. At this time, whether it is the outpost of the Islamic Empire MR240 or the outpost of the Gabri Federation MR239, it is no longer safe in the eyes of Pan Wen, as a pirate boss, as long as he is discovered, he doesn't even need to be organized, and his fleet will attract a large number of guys who want to make a windfall.

MR241 is different, the environment here is complex enough, ultra-long-range communication in the nebula is almost unavailable, and the size of the fleet that can be improvisedly limited is limited. In addition, before the small pirate and pirate factories in their own galaxy are cleaned up, most people will still stay in their own galaxy to level up, and the proportion of players who are eager to challenge higher difficulties will be smaller.

"Doris, has Margarita caused you any trouble?"

In his spare time, Pan Wen chatted with Doris in his captain's lounge with the help of the main communication device, and he had begun to realize that if he wanted to train a senior assistant, it was essential to cultivate affection, and he couldn't always go to find it when there was something.

This time, he took advantage of Margarita's suspicious lily orientation.

"Hmm...... She's a great technician. In the shot, Doris is running on the multi-function gym in the room, and although the workout effect of this thing is worse than that of the simulation chamber, it is more convenient.

Doris didn't answer Panvin's question head-on, and it was clear that Margarita had already attacked her!

Since she didn't want to express her opinion on Margarita, Pan Wen didn't continue to pester.

"By the way, there are fewer male crew members on your side, so before the next personnel assignment, you'd better pay more attention to their private affairs, I don't want to have a few more pregnant women when I return to Hong Kong." Pan Wen also sees this as well, as long as he is not pregnant on the ship, it is not a problem.

"Huh? …… Yes!! Doris was stunned when she heard this, and was taken to the ground by the treadmill.

She didn't get up immediately, she looked at the picture that turned around suspiciously, and asked, "Does the captain have to take care of this kind of thing?" ”

"Normally they will be careful themselves, but we may stay a few more days in MR241 this time, and I'm worried that the male crew on your side won't be able to control themselves."

Pan Wen himself has no wife or fixed lover or anything like that, but there are some things that he is still very sober.

On a ship with a normal male-to-female ratio of five to one or even eight to one, many male crew members feel that they have no play, and they can't think about some things, and they can't get off the plane. Those who really do it are veterans, and some things will be very attentive.

But now on the scalpel, the ratio of men to women is an astonishing one to five, and the elite chicks in the space age will not be too inferior, and there will not be a few people who can control themselves, and they can't all be veterans of flowers, and the possibility of problems will increase significantly.

"Boss, you really surprised me. As a male, you would question a male crew. ”

Pan Wen shrugged: "Because women are too complicated, and men are single-celled animals, it's easy to guess what will happen." ”

"What about you?" Doris stood up close to the holographic screen, her face curious.

The employee seemed to have another problem asking the boss like this, but Pan Wen didn't care too much.

"Of course I am, are you going to invite me to your ship?"

"Will you come?" Doris raised her eyebrows and asked a little defiantly.

"No, it won't." Pan Wen directly admitted that there was nothing wrong with it, "I don't want the relationship between public and private to be too confused, and I'm on a mission now." ”

Compared to most pirates, who are somewhat macho and unwilling to admit defeat, Pan Wen's performance is really special.

"Hmm...... Luckily, I wasn't prepared. ”

Just as he was about to continue idle, the buzzer in Panvin's room went off, and the sound paused rhythmically, not a battle alarm.

"Looks like I'm going to go to the control room and have a chance to chat again."

Hanging up the call, Doris on the scalpel frowned slightly, feeling strange.

She had been working under Pan Wen for a month, and for most of the first half of the month, the boss had almost no contact with her. What is the reason for such a change in his attitude?

Did he want to soak her in the first place? No, although Doris is not a amorous beauty, and there are some female elements in her personality, she is not a fool if she can get the captain's license. As the boss himself said, men are single-celled animals, and if there is any attempt, they will definitely not be able to endure it for so long before they act, at least they must occasionally show their sense of existence.

She couldn't guess that Pan Wen's change of attitude towards her was because of the tactical choices she made on her own some time ago, which made him feel that she could go further.

……

"What's wrong?" Pan Wen began to ask questions as he entered the control room and walked towards the captain's console.

"BOSS, we found a suspicious signal, generated on the periphery of the warning area, and the target has not been found yet."

"Oh?" By the time he spoke, Pan Wen had already sat down.

It is now on duty, with only one navigator, two fire controllers, two radar communicators and one logistics chief in the control room. Of course, there was Dorotai when Pan Wen was away.

"Dorotai, have you sent fighters?"

Dorotai nodded: "It's already on the way, and the results are expected in ten minutes." ”

Everyone did a good job, Pan Wen didn't speak again, called up the star map, clicked on the route assistance function and marking function, and immediately saw the movement route of the two fighters, and a suspicious area that was stained.

Things are a little weird.

The suspicious area is only 450,000 kilometers away from the perigee of the ship, almost at the edge of the maximum range of the particle main gun in the nebula area. It can emit a suspicious signal, indicating that it must be a man-made object. The Hammer's detection capabilities have indeed weakened in the Nebula region, but there are only two kinds of man-made objects that can not be caught by radar at this distance - beacon towers and stationary fighters, of course, it may also be something that Pan Wen does not recognize, but that is a bit unlikely.

"I think it's a fighter, what do you think?" Pan Wen turned to Dorotai on the side and asked.

"That's what I thought, too, so I'm calling you over to see if I want to make any arrangements."

Listening to Dorotai's words, Pan Wen frowned, and tried his best to wait patiently for the results of the fighter's reconnaissance.

This is MR241, a dangerous galaxy that is still in the nebula recombination phase. The existence of the star crystal ore has allowed various countries to have outposts here, but one thing is for sure, due to the frequent celestial impacts, there can be no industrial production system here.

Then the fighter that can't jump in hyperspace on its own can only be something from someone else's ship!

Fighters are limited by their size, not only the hyperspace jump system cannot be carried, but also the hyperspace communication can only be received passively, and the active communication still has the speed of light delay, and the speed of light communication also has problems such as signal attenuation and diffusion. Such a communication system makes it impossible for fighters to be too far away from the ship, especially now that it is a nebula environment. Even in the form of relay communication, it will not be more than two million kilometers.

Things didn't make them wait long, and when the fighter approached the suspicious zone, the radar finally picked up the target.

"The boss, it's a fighter, it's running away."

"Can you determine the model number?"

The radarman shook his head: "No, the target is too small, and the energy level of the thrusters is barely a number." ”

…… Pan Wen understood.

According to the current industry guidelines, the sensitivity of radar and sensors is limited to a certain extent. They ignore reactions that do not threaten themselves at all, which can greatly reduce the amount of data and improve the efficiency of the operation of the host, and in the event of an electromagnetic attack, such a means can also protect the electronic equipment from direct destruction, at most a short period of failure.

"Let the fighters continue to pursue, and we will also adjust the direction to keep up with the current speed. Let the Kuroshio keep course, and the scalpel still protects the mining area, "Since the numbers can't be measured, it must not be at the level of gunboats, and if you can reach the middle fighter, you will reach the top, and Aleiyi is a fighter against gunboats and light ships, and there is not much danger in chasing one."

With two mining rigs in mining, Pan Wen is not worried about the time-to-reward ratio, but someone is playing the trick of "stealth" under his nose, and he still wants to see what is going on.

The performance of the Alei III was good, but after chasing it for a while, it still did not come close to the target. When Pan Wenzheng hesitated to turn on the sensor's active search mode, things changed.

"BOSS, another fighter plane has appeared, keep the same direction as the one in front and escape."

Dorotai next to him also spoke again: "The picture transmitted back by the fighter plane has been optimized, and I can barely distinguish the light and dark of the paint, it should be from the Islamic Empire." ”

Hearing this, Pan Wen pressed a button on the console to activate the summoning skill: "Attention to the tactical team, come to the control room immediately." ”

In less than two minutes, the tactical team sat in a circle on their chassis and began to understand the situation and listen to Pan Wen's request.

"Based on the records, I want you to judge if they have spotted us."

Pan Wen asked the tactical team to analyze it with such fanfare, because it required very professional knowledge, he only knew that the speed of his ship was only 100 kilometers per second, and the thruster response would be very low in theory, but he couldn't determine whether the fighter radar in passive mode could detect this reaction in the nebula environment. Whether or not he was found was an important reference for him to decide whether to continue the pursuit.

"BOSS, the third unidentified fighter has appeared! The first two are starting to slow down, do you want to recall our fighters? ”

"BOSS, we also have results, if the positions of other fighters are still in this straight line, there is a ninety percent chance that we will not be discovered."

Ninety percent sure, almost certain, provided of course that there are no other stationary fighters around watching all this.

"Kind of interesting! Let's put our fighters back for a moment and notify the Marines to launch three more! "He wanted to see who was so rich.
