Section 192 Salvation
"The shield of Area 72 weakened, and the arc pierced through the armor. Start a fire and watch out for toxic fumes. I would like immediate support......"
"Hurry up, get the fire extinguisher, the damage management team is coming, it's up to us before that!!"
"Jimmy! Jimmy, come here! You are needed here! ”
"Doctor, I want a doctor, my brother's leg is broken!"
In the battleship channel, the voices from the damage zone rang out, showing an extremely tense situation. And in the bridge, Captain Jackson also frowned and looked serious. He wore a crisp captain's uniform with a row of medals on his left chest. Even in such a tense situation, he was meticulous, and the white gloves in his hands were firmly clenched, stable as a rock.
As the captain of a heavy assault ship in the human advance fleet, Jackson is known for his old-fashionedness, he can die, but he can't mess around. The ancient naval family has been passed down from generation to generation, just like Jackson's ancestors who don't know how many generations have met the wind and waves on the ancient steam battleship.
That's how military people should be. Composed, calm until death.
"Order the damage management team to immediately repair Area 72, give them fifteen minutes, and after fifteen minutes, if the fire is still not suppressed, withdraw the personnel and lower the isolation gate." Jackson said in a deep voice, his voice steady as granite.
Behind him there was a crew answer. "Yes."
"How are we doing?"
"The roll has been controlled, but the hull is tilting and it is expected to lose its attitude in five minutes. Only 37% of the shield capacity remains. It cannot be effectively replenished. The thrusters are disturbed by the storm and fall into the Magill curve! One of the crew shouted. Captain, our injuries are getting worse! ”
"Don't worry, boys." Captain Jackson stood straight and said with a blank face. "My child will be strong, and it will take you back. What is this little storm? Even in the abyss, it can come and go as it pleases. ”
"Yes, Captain!" The crew responded with a bang. The mood is much better. Suddenly. One of the crew members shouted. "Captain, we have received a communication, Eden is coming to us, asking us to hold on for a while, it is going to open its shield!"
"Good!" Captain Jackson's eyes flashed, and he finally felt a little moved.
He believed in the Speaker, like everyone else. Since Eden is also coming, it means that they are saved......
In a relaxed mood, Captain Jackson's face relaxed slightly. Reached out and touched the wind buckle under his neck, thought about it and put down his hand. At that moment, his gaze casually swept over the scanner. His face suddenly froze. Because he was shocked to see that another human mothership, the Names, not far from him, had also begun to roll......
In the universe, the battleship will maintain its posture at any time, and it is not common to roll, and once it rolls, it means that the battleship can no longer maintain its balance and is on the verge of losing control! This is the equivalent of receiving a death invitation to a ship in the storm!
"Not good! The Namex is caught in a vortex of energy, and its shield can't withstand it! ”
"Its armor is cracking, and part of the hull is disintegrating!"
"What's that? Fleet hangars? Its hangar is torn open! Hell, it'll smash in a few minutes! ”
The exclamations of the crew were heard over the channel. Captain Jackson was silent. He stared at the image on the scanner, the Nammis was a reconnaissance mothership, and it was more valuable in the sequence than his own heavy assault. If he could, Captain Jackson would definitely go and save it! But the problem is that the Jackson is also in a very bad situation at this moment, and it may collapse at any time.
Such a broken battleship. How to save the Scout Mothership, which is also a shipwreck?
Eden will be over in a few minutes, and he will be rescued by then. The nearly 10,000 crew members of the ship will survive. As the captain of the ship, he has done his duty.
But...... Why do you feel ashamed?
Jackson suddenly lowered his head and looked at a medal on his chest.
It's an old one. Medals strewn with rust marks. Its antiquity can be traced back to the days when mankind did not step out of the starry sky. At that time, human beings were fragile and humble. In the face of the monstrous waves of the ocean, only by uniting together can we resist. The sailors of that era were brave. Even in the face of overwhelming storms, they will drink rum and sing men's songs nonchalantly.
The medal was handed down by Jackson's ancestors for an unknown number of generations, and it was engraved with only a small paragraph.
"I never regret that day in front of my comrades. Even if it costs with your life. ”
"He's more important than me."
Taking a deep breath, Captain Jackson suddenly raised his head and stared at the image on the scanner. Said loudly. "Forward! Target: Mothership Names! Let's save it! ”
"What?" There was an exclamation on the channel, and the crew thought Jackson was crazy. "Captain, we can't save it!"
"Yes, Captain! It's caught by energy vortices, and our gravitational bridge isn't powerful enough! ”
"Our condition is also dangerous, Captain, please think again."
"I'm sorry, boys." Captain Jackson interrupted them and spoke in a deep voice. "But we have to go, because it's the mothership, and it's more important than us on the next journey."
"The gravitational bridge isn't powerful enough, so we're going to hit it! Knock it out of the energy vortex! ”
Captain Jackson's voice suddenly increased, ringing through the channel like a bell. "This is the Jackson! Brave Jackson! Could it be that my lads have chosen cowardice and forgotten their glory? ”
"No, Captain, we've been trying!"
"We will not be afraid!"
"Good!" Captain Jackson looked up, a smile finally on his face. Rare, somewhat ugly smile.
He straightened his collar with his hand, then put on his captain's hat and walked back to the captain's seat to take a seat. At this moment, he was so solemn, as if he was going to attend a ceremony! And in front of him, all the crew members also returned to their posts, with a resolute look in their eyes.
Sailors do not flinch in front of the wind and waves, and sailors also have the pride of sailors. If someone is destined to die, let even the more worthy survive!
For humanity.
"The engine is at full capacity!"
"Open the power booster! Don't think about the loss, the thruster is overloaded! ”
"The bow shield closes, and the ramming angle is retracted!"
"Speed!!"
"Target Names Mothership!!"
"Bump into it!!"
"Bump into it!!"
The roar suddenly increased, and in everyone's eyes, the Jackson was like a scarred rhinoceros, rushing towards the Nyamis with a tragic momentum. Its hull is tilted, and the armor is shattered. But it never stopped. In an instant, it rushed through dozens of storm layers and crashed headlong into the Namer!
With a loud bang, the Names was ferociously pushed out of the energy vortex and successfully escaped the danger of destruction, while the Jackson remained in the vortex, tumbling and began to disintegrate......
Fragments, as beautiful as shooting stars. Captain Jackson's voice rang out in the Fleet Channel.
"If my grandparents don't regret it, then neither will I."
"It's an honor to work with you brave lads."
"Good luck to the guys who survived." (To be continued......)
