After the Queen Melissa entered the port, there was nothing to do with us "first-graders". Well, of course, the boss doesn't like to let us go like that. The governor of the KN06 mine came to address us, and then conducted a so-called ship-port emergency escape drill.

In fact, this so-called emergency escape drill is nothing more than familiarizing yourself with how to quickly board a ship or leave the port. In these gravityless places that are anti-human. I'm not going to say anything......

In the afternoon, we were free to move around, and our plan was to take a stroll around the two colonial satellites in the KN06 mining area, but the news came from the front that the colonial satellites here were all industrial areas and had a miasma, so we dismissed this idea.

Since you don't go out, then the afternoon will be boring. Milan suggested that I try some joint commissioning while the Queen Melissa was not in need of operation. I tested this joint commissioning on the East Lake when I was returning from the Southern Cross Gate, but it was just a simple drive engine or something.

What Milan was going to teach me this time was to try to use the electronic systems inside the battleship. For example, directly control the central computer, control the ship's internal control system or something. I happily did so, all kinds of code operation instructions were sent to the system at the right time, various database searches and checks, etc., and what instructions were sent and sent to intercept and analyze.

In short, I don't know what to do.

One thing that may be worth noting, though, is that when I was using the central computer through the Nisrok simulation system, I seemed to see a lot of strange external request data. Those strange external data accessed almost the entire system, and the frequency of access was a little inexplicable, but the Queen Melissa's system accurately rejected it.

I didn't care about how these systems worked, but I just kept an eye on them.

After a night's rest, the Queen Melissa was about to sail the next day. According to the voyage, after leaving the KN06 mine, the Queen Melissa will head to a nearby "canal". About a day's journey in a straight line from KN06, there is an interstellar passage dedicated to transportation, the Stargate.

As in the 21st Earth, wherever there is a major transportation route, it is called Steddam, a human settlement built on the Stargate and the surrounding mines. It doesn't seem to be as big as Flodia, though, and as for what Stedan is like, we'll see it in two and a half days.

The reason why the one-day journey has become two days is because of the course schedule. The Naval Academy's 401 Academy wants us to practice the planetary gravitational navigation method and the particle wind navigation method on the way back, and finally practice the use of segmented warping navigation to circumnavigate the obstacle star system. Once in Steddam, head straight back to Frodia through the Stargate.

I still had to stay on the bridge of the Queen Melissa to study the Nisrock system and continue to learn all kinds of detailed operations. Ever since we had that good talk with Milan, we have happily become a good pair of mentors and apprentices. Although I was still wary of Milan, I don't know why, after so long, I suddenly felt that Milan seemed to have become harmless.

It's just that I don't know what Milan will think.

The Queen Melissa floated for most of the day using particle winds as a power source, and then sailed through the gravitational pull of a nearby star system. This kind of navigation is the so-called basic emergency navigation method, which is no longer used in this era, so I don't really understand what the college is arranging this kind of teaching course for.

In my opinion, this course is like sightseeing for us, because the scenery of this region is very good. Below is a large circle of dust like a sea of clouds, shining white in the light of the stars. On the left is a pair of rocky planets, and on the right, a huge gas planet and its rings reflect the light of the star. Directly above, the Milky Way shines.

This view...... Just like in the CG anime, even the seafarers who seem to sail a lot are obsessed with it. That's when I understood why there was such a thing as planetary gravity. Everybody...... Actually, I want to see the scenery!

Landscape pictures or something...... Is it considered a spiritual culture?

So I raised the question with Milan. As a result, as long as the images are not used for the dissemination of illicit culture, they are not considered illicit spiritual culture. What kind of definition is this special wood? The implication is that if I make some landscape paintings to disseminate, it will be no problem?

Just as I was pondering the new two-dimensional cultural dissemination plan, a student in the communications class suddenly reported a strange message from the Type 10 frigate to the captain's command position. Type 10 frigates one after the other in the space beyond our naked eye, a prerequisite for any action is the corvette to confirm safety.

So, a strange piece of information seems quite noteworthy.

"This should be a signal that has not been sent, but the communication protocol is encrypted, and the data is not fully received, and the content cannot be seen. It can only be judged from the culvert that this signal is a warning message. The professor at the command post analyzed the code for a moment before explaining it to his students. Next, he made a solution.

"The power of the cruise shield has been increased, the output of the mechanism has been increased, and the whole airspace has been alerted." The professor gave three orders tepidly, and then asked the communications squad to communicate with the frigate again. However, the reply was that the previous signal was sent by mistake, so please continue sailing with confidence.

However, the professor was not very reassured, and continued to remain vigilant, and at the same time asked the Type 10 frigate to submit operational data.

The barrage of instructions didn't give the battleship a sense of tension, but I, sitting on the simulator next to me, somehow thought of the "pirates are coming" flag. Then I began to suspect that there was something wrong with the signal, so I asked Milan for advice.

"Beautiful places are full of danger, and the signal just now is really suspicious." Milan said tepidly, he looked around at the data on the command screen, and said: "Now there are two possibilities, one is that it is indeed our frigate that sent the wrong signal." Another possibility is that there are pirates. ”

"Why do I feel like there's a pirate......" I said jokingly. Because Milan is not in a hurry at all, as a kind of trust in Milan's ability, in fact, I think there should be no pirates around. However, I felt that the stalk of "there are pirates" lingered.

"Tell me what you think." Milan posed like a teacher again.

Because of the relationship between the Nisrock system and the Bondage Ring, I have a piece of data in front of me that ordinary people can't see. All of the Queen Melissa's detection information was put together in the way I liked, so I could see it......

"The dust cloud below can hide things, and high-frequency radar and space-wave radar don't do much for deliberately stealthy ships, right? If you use LiDAR, the search for obscured areas will fail. This means that if a pirate wants to attack, he can hide in a binary star system or in the aura of a gas planet. But I think it's more likely to be hidden in the dust cloud below, ready to catch us off guard. "I brought my own analysis out.

"But we have two frigates, one in front and one behind to protect this ship. It may not be enough for a frigate to deal with a Demon, but if it is against a pirate, it is not a big problem to fight ten at a time. "Milan went on to state the fact that we had the advantage in equipment, but he asked me to put myself in the shoes of a pirate and how he would attack the Queen Melissa.

Alas? This guy has such a strange mind. But this kind of problem can really be thought about and played, although I don't know a lot about the technology of this era.

"Is it possible that two frigates would be attacked by pirate hacking?" I asked.

"Assuming that the pirates have a powerful central computer and superior technology, they can indeed use quantum communication to hack two warships." Milan gave me a positive answer.

"Then the Jiading pirates can hack the frigates, so if the two frigates are hacked and have no combat effectiveness, then aren't we in the bag?" I said immediately.

"It's okay to hack, but the frigate will cut off the physical communication and turn to a backup system to restart......"

"What if the backup system is also finished?"

"At least no matter what, you can manually turn the mechanical turret and release the carrier-based aircraft, which is also very deadly for the average pirate ship."

"But it takes time to restart the system and release the carrier-based aircraft or something, right?" I continued to ask.

"Yes, indeed." Milan's tepid answer.

"Then at that time, the pirates took the opportunity to dock with the Queen Melissa, entered the ship for a string battle, or directly threatened the Queen Melissa and extorted a kidnapping fee, wouldn't this be done?" I don't think I'm flawed in my thinking.

"Good strategy." Milan clapped his hands gently.

So Milan threw in the towel? Although it was quite rewarding, I still said modestly: "The premise is that pirates must be able to conquer the Type 10 frigate system, at least they need powerful computers and powerful hackers, and if they can have these, they will not be pirates." ”

"Assuming that the pirate really has that kind of technology, and it succeeds according to your pirate's kidnapping plan, what do you think is the motive of the other party? Who are those pirates? "Milan has another question.

It's also very simple, and after a moment of thought, I say, "If the pirates are the opponents of the HE/E, or the members of the Queen Melissa, then they are the pirates that the relevant competitors are secretly sponsoring." The motive is to create an accident to destroy us, or to ruin the reputation of HE・E or something. ”

"I think so too." Milan nodded.

So at this time, the students of the radar class suddenly sounded the emergency alarm!

"There's an unknown shadow! Rushed out of the dust cloud below! Direction...... It's this ship! Transponder is not responding! The teacher of the radar class shouted nervously.

"Smack!" Hearing this information, the captain professor immediately slapped the table and stood up, shouting, "Avoid! ”

"They're also adjusting their course, it's too late!"

I saw a "bump" sound, and the Queen Melissa vibrated violently. I can clearly understand that the Queen Melissa was slightly rammed, thanks to the outer armor inherited from the battleship, so the Queen Melissa was not harmed, but the Queen Melissa was locked together by the "unknown battleship". Someone came down from that battleship with lightning speed, and they were violently breaking in, breaking into the position...... It's an outboard airlock!

"Isn't it! Are there really robbers?! ”

I shouted in surprise. Could it be that the pirate's attack is really the same as I imagined?

Hacking - quick raids - securing - hijacking is a perfect match for my idea.

Then a link request from the outside was suddenly displayed on the main control screen. Everyone looked at each other, but in the end, the captain professor clicked on the link request.

"Yo, everyone, this is the Jean Pirate Group!" A curly-haired blond man wearing a silver faceless mask suddenly appeared on the screen.
