Chapter 10: Reluctant Cooperation

After a lot of hard work, dragging her painful body and jumping into the accelerator, Jessica swam to the command chair with difficulty. At this time www.biquge.info the super-acceleration mode had been activated, and the Wanderer reached its maximum speed in the blink of an eye, leaving the hidden asteroid behind.

The rapidly expanding ball of light, the small stone speed with a terrifying impulse, and the torrent of energy chasing after the stern obscured all the functions of the probe. Without pause, the Rover went straight into the nearby meteorite-dense area, even if countless small meteorites hit the newly renovated armor plate.

Jessica had never felt so helpless. She believes in the logic of the strong, and everything is about control. Out of control means disaster, and she believes so to this day.

has experienced life and death several times, but the situation is in the hands of that cult madman named Zhao Ping, she decided that the whole person is not good, she strongly hopes that she can control the situation, even if in fact, in the face of unmanned cruisers, Zhao Ping can control the situation better than him, she will not change her mind.

The Machine Cult is a bunch of suicidal maniacs, at least that's how she sees them. The history of cults is as old as that of robot rebels. I don't know which of its founders is wrong, and he actually preaches that artificial intelligence represents the future of mankind and that the flesh will be eliminated. It is unbelievable that there are really many people in human society who agree with his views and once dragged human society into a desperate situation. Even now, it is still possible to hear from time to time that the inhabitants of such and such a space station have been wiped out, and the reason for the murderer turned out to be the execution of the teachings of the cult.

The cult must have been extremely clever in brainwashing, and she was sure that this judgment was correct.

To communicate with cultists, you run the risk of being brainwashed. Therefore, she must not have too much contact with Zhao Ping, nor can she listen to him, she doesn't want to be brainwashed.

However, in the current situation, if she didn't talk to Zhao Ping, she wouldn't be able to determine the control of the starship, the hateful madman, she became more and more dissatisfied with the status quo.

In space, the chase and escape game between the Wanderer and the unmanned cruiser has been resumed again. The Wanderer can't run away in a straight line, it must be a change of course. In the rear, the unmanned cruiser fired its main guns without listening, sometimes grazing the protective force field, leaving behind a scarlet aurora, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

"Ivan, what else can we do now?"

"Watching the play, sir, we can only watch the play."

"Rubbish! Can't figure it out? ”

"No way, that kid is a monster who hacked all the electronic systems on the ship. If we want to breathe, we have to get his consent. ”

"Then I want to thank him for not killing!"

Clenched into fists, knuckles losing their blood color from excessive force. After struggling for a long time, she finally let out a long sigh and put down her fist, in this situation, she could not do anything.

The Wanderer was getting closer and closer to the unmanned cruiser, and the high-speed maneuver could no longer effectively evade the enemy's attack. The protective force field generator sounds an alarm, and the force field itself is also active, and an anomaly resembles a glass crack.

"I need your help."

Zhao Ping's voice came unexpectedly, and Jessica frowned coldly.

"You're not very capable, you can control the entire Wanderer, then you'll be able to fight the enemy alone."

“… Please be sensible, my failure also means your death. ”

"Humph! I'm very sensible, you can't fail, because you don't want to die either! ”

"But I'm about to fail, this body is too limited, and the performance of the Wanderer is not good, and if we continue like this, we will only have one way to be sunk."

“…… What's the use of you looking for me, we are united, not even as good as you alone. For some reason, Jessica's voice revealed a hint of jealousy.

"Please don't jump to conclusions. The main reason why you are unable to effectively fight the enemy is that you have backward ideas, slow organizational methods, wrong methods, and irrational judgments. ”

"How do I think you're sarcastic about me." , the female captain's face was elongated, and her mouth pursed slightly. Her hands twisted together, a mixture of reluctance and anger crept up her brow.

"Calm down, please calm down. I have an offer that is good for both of us. ”

"The Space Army has nothing to discuss with the cultists, either you die or I die." Her voice began to turn cold.

"Sir! Please don't get emotional. If this continues, we will all perish. ”

Ivan interjected, and Jessica looked up angrily, only to find that on the bridge, everyone was staring at her, and people's eyes were very strange, as if she was a madman and a cultist.

"Why do you look at me like this! Is there anything wrong with my attitude? Isn't it the consensus that I don't cooperate with cults? ”

"However, we don't want to die, especially if we die in such an unknown way." Ivan rarely lowered his voice and replied in a suppressed voice.

"......", in the silence, Jessica's eyes flickered.

"It's too late! I've sent in the tactical plan and the improved fire control software, you quickly arrange for the people to be in place, and the robot cruiser is coming. ”

Zhao Ping's voice showed anxiety, and the control console on the bridge showed that a large amount of updated data was being replaced by existing applications.

“… Do as he says, let's deal with the enemy outside. ”

It didn't take long for Jessica to decide. She is a resolute person, and once she has made up her mind, she will never drag her feet.

Jessica vetoed two proposals that violated the yang and yin, and asked the officers and soldiers to unconditionally follow Zhao Ping's instructions.

The Rover is still the same Rover, and its performance and personnel have not changed, but the efficiency it shows through maneuvering has risen to a new level.

The maneuver that can only be described as flexible was completed in time for the interval between the main guns of the unmanned cruiser. As soon as the huge side side disappeared into the cross-sectional shadow of the bow, a salvo of the enemy's main guns arrived. Six of the eight beams missed their target, one brushing through the defensive field, leaving behind the shattered wreckage of the stand. The hull is bare in a vacuum. The last beam hit the missile launch port in the bow of the ship. Fortunately, the Wanderer did not launch a re-guided ship at this time. The launch port was blown to pieces, and the beautiful bow of the ship was unrecognizable. Fortunately, the losses of the Wanderer were nothing more, and the attack did not cause substantial damage to the cruiser.

On the bridge of the Wanderer, Jessica was pale and sweaty. Under Zhao Ping's instructions, she commanded this pre-battle turn. Although the rotation is already full of risks in ship-to-ship combat, this time it is far more dangerous than she expected. She had to admit that without Zhao Ping's assistance, the Wanderer would be no different from suicide against the unmanned cruiser.

Now is not the time to stop and reflect, using the software tools provided by Zhao Ping, as well as optimizing the data, Jessica has taken over the command of the Wanderer. She ordered the cruiser to lunge towards the enemy ship, and at the same time, the three remaining rail-mounted guns let out a silent roar. The three lines of fire blocked most of the evasion paths of the unmanned cruiser in three directions. The unmanned cruiser turned to the sky and dived, trying to distance itself from the Wanderer.

Particle cannons, which are the big killers on unmanned cruisers, they not only have the characteristics of beam cannons that are accurate and fast, and they cannot dodge, but also have the armor-piercing ability and impact destructive power of magnetic railguns. This kind of thing, which can only be regarded as a conceptual weapon in the solar system, is already equipped with robot armament.

Under normal circumstances, the Wanderer, which is not superior in firepower and mobility, has no chance of surviving one-on-one.

Fortunately, there is a variable of Zhao Ping.

He pointed out that the disadvantage of unmanned cruisers is that they lack protection, and although the particle cannon is similar to the beam cannon, the speed and muzzle speed are not as good as the ordinary beam cannon, which makes the particle cannon not really unavoidable. In addition, the power of the particle cannon is still far from that of the railgun, which makes the melee combat performance of the unmanned cruiser far worse than its long-range fire ability.

Here's the Wanderer's chance. Having said that, it is not easy to get close to a more powerful unmanned cruiser.

In half an hour, the two ships attacked at a distance of 200 meters, and the momentum of pursuit and escape was reversed.

In an hour, the two ships were anxious for 130 kilometers, "Brothers, work harder, I'm close to it!" The morale of the officers and men of the Wanderer was high.

In two hours, the distance between the two ships is 210 kilometers, "Waste, if you want to keep your ass from blooming, give me all my might!" The old lady doesn't believe in evil. Jessica was furious, and the officers and men of the Wanderer began to get tired.

In four hours, the distance between the two ships was 500 kilometers, "Zhao Ping, don't grind foreign workers there, talk about the weakness of unmanned motherships?" ”

Jessica was restless, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to give up hope.
