Chapter 127: A Day in the Life of a Cowboy
At eight o'clock in the morning of May 11 in the third year of the ephemeris, Zhou Bocai got up early and quickly finished the breakfast on the table, and took the bird Mei Yu to the airport around the community. There, they will take an 8:35 flight to the starport on the negative 100th floor to meet the rest of the Cowboy Squad, and then buy supplies for the Starry Sky Cowboy and embark on the expedition again.www.biquge.info
In fact, Zhou Bocai, who was immersed in the gentle township, definitely didn't want to get up so early, but Meiyu got up early to prepare breakfast, and after packing everything up, he was arguing in Zhou Bocai's ears like an old-fashioned alarm clock with a clockwork, and there was really no condition to continue sleeping. Could it be that Ai Meiren's body is made of iron? Looking at Mei Yu's lively appearance, Zhou Bocai guessed in his heart.
Since today is the weekend, there are not many people taking the aircraft at this time, and there are only a dozen people in the more than 200 seats on the entire small aircraft, and the entire aircraft is extremely empty. The vehicles in the space city are all unmanned and very cheap, making it the best choice for long-distance travel in the space city. Trams are only widely used in ships with relatively small space and high stability requirements such as warships and exploration spacecraft, and there are "airliners" for such a large space as the space inside the space city.
At 9:25, the small aircraft docked in the Star Harbor on time, and Zhou Bocai and Mei Yu walked hand in hand to a café in the Star Harbor business district. There, they'll meet up with the rest of the Cowboy Squad and settle the dividends together, resupplying them for a new journey.
It wasn't until 10:30 that the other team members came one after another, constantly complaining that Zhou Bo had disturbed their dreams, which was the result of Zhou Bocai's repeated urging, otherwise, most of them were still playing chess with Zhou Gong.
The distribution of dividends is very smooth, and with the help of the efficient computing power of the personal terminal, every expenditure and income is clear at a glance. After leaving the contribution points necessary to maintain the normal operation of the Cowboy, all the members of the Cowboy Squad will be divided equally among all members of the Cowboy Squad. Even Wang Yang's contribution points are not deducted, after all, he is a member of a squad, and the unity of the squad is more important than anything.
Due to the non-stop flight survey some time ago and the short time of fighting with Il-Zack, the cowboy team consumed a lot of supplies. At the same time, this battle also made the cowboy squad reflect its own shortcomings. For example, the number of players is too small to control more fighters; The weapon is relatively simple, and it cannot achieve all-round firepower coverage in the distance, medium and near; The stock of weapons is too small to be able to fight for a long time at all, and so on. All of this will be made up today.
The personnel problem is relatively easy to solve, and a few beautiful female members have been added, all of whom are Emmy people. Obviously, the cattle of the cowboy squad did not waste their time during this time, all of them attacked their own targets, and they were all acquaintances, the maids beside Princess Diana. Since the Amy people have become vassals of mankind, and the status of human beings in the Amy society has increased dramatically, the Amy royal family not only did not prevent this from happening, but also actively contributed to it.
There is a huge commercial street in the industrial city of the Golden Crow mothership, which is gorgeously decorated, and the buildings inside are very full of science fiction atmosphere. Spaceship shapes, all kinds of guns, ammunition shapes, and even boxy energy block shapes. This is the munitions street of the Golden Crow Fleet, and from the shape of the building, you can intuitively know what this company sells.
Yes, that's right, all the businesses on this street sell arms. From swords, guns, swords, halberds to electromagnetic guns, various energy cannons, from ordinary C-grade biological crystals to A-level energy crystals, from fourth-level plant spaceships to sixth-level large battleships, within the scope of official permission, everything is for sale, and there is only what you can't think of, and there is absolutely nothing that you can't buy.
At this moment, there was a small store in front of the cowboy squad, to be exact, a cold weapon shop, called Longquan Sword Pavilion. If you only heard the name, you would never have thought that such a store would be opened in such a commercial block with such a strong sci-fi atmosphere, and in Zhou Bocai's opinion, such a store should appear in the antique street.
The store manager was a calm middle-aged man, who enthusiastically led Zhou Bocai and them to the store, and actively sold a sword to the team members on the alloy shelf. just glanced at Mei Yu and the others from time to time. The Emmy was so easy to recognize, with red hair, blue eyes, and slightly yellow fair skin, which had been spread throughout the fleet during this time. What's more, the appearance of Mei Yu and the others is definitely at the level of disaster to the country and the people, if it weren't for Zhou Bocai and them to start early, maybe it would not be their turn.
Originally, they thought it was just a weapon shop that sold cold weapons, but it wasn't until they really came into contact with Zhou Bo that they knew how wrong they were, and their eyes lit up when they looked at these swords, and their saliva flowed. These swords are simply a weapon synthesis, a great weapon for exploring the planet of life. The sword's hull is made of alloy from which the barrel of the S-class gun's gun is made, and the inside is equipped with a super-concussion generator, which can perform 10,000 super-frequency vibrations per second, even in the face of the battleship's armor.
What's even more genius is that the hilt of the sword is embedded with a small shield generator, which can withstand the filling of S-class energy at most, and open a 160 cm high and 50 cm wide S-class energy shield in front of him to resist the enemy's attack for himself, knowing that the energy is exhausted. The hilt of the sword is hollow and round on the inside, just enough to fit the standard energy bar in the energy rifle, which is convenient for timely replenishment. What's even more genius is that there are countless energy jet microholes at the spine of the sword, press the switch at the hilt, and countless energy beams will be sprayed out from these microholes, and the restraining magnetic field in the sword is bound around the blade, and the lightsaber in Star Wars is formed like a genius. This is simply an artifact in a fantasy novel, not only invincible, but also offensive and defensive.
The price of such an artifact is naturally expensive, but looking at the expectant eyes of the team members, Zhou Bocai gritted his teeth and bought one for each team member, and even Mei Yu and the others also chose a foil suitable for women. This made Zhou Bocai sigh that the ship was changing so fast, three months ago, there were only a few large arms dealers, and now the weapons street has developed with a variety of patterns.
Next, the cowboy team went straight to the sales branch of Raytheon. In the last war, Wang Fatzi's adrenaline was bursting, and he directly reimbursed more than one-third of the Patriot missile nest stored on the Starry Sky Cowboy, and the remaining stock was simply not enough for another medium-intensity battle. You must know that the last time you faced only four semi-paralyzed slave catcher warships, what should you do next time you encounter the entire fleet? At the very least, there must be weapons to buy the Starry Sky Cowboy time to escape.
After ordering 2,000 missile nests directly, the cowboy squad went straight to the heavy missile trading area. The Dongfeng-61 missile is a restricted purchase, and it cannot be purchased again in the short term, so it can only retreat to buy a replacement. However, after turning around, there are no suitable substitutes, no way, all S-level weapons are limited purchases.
The cowboy squad had no choice but to buy missiles produced by other companies, and they really found one. A storefront called Matra Arms sells a very good heavy missile. The missile adopts a multi-warhead twin-engine design, and the maximum speed can enter 0.9 times the warp speed. The explosion part is a large-yield A-level energy crystal, although it is not as good as the S-level explosion part of Dongfeng 61, but it is also a rare weapon in comparison.
What surprised Zhou Bocai even more was that this missile codenamed Cami-03 was actually equipped with a mind controller, that is to say, the pilot could control these missiles in real time to avoid enemy attacks through the helmet in the battleship, which was simply an enlarged version of a suicide drone. Zhou Bocai knows how miserable the Dongfeng 61 record was last time, most of the missiles were intercepted by the enemy's individual fighters and set off fireworks in the air before they reached the enemy, and if the attack intensity is removed, the Cami-03 is definitely a good choice.
In addition to these large weapons, the Cowboy Squad also purchased a lot of other equipment, various types of disposable detectors, which can fly a hundred light hours away from the battleship to explore. There is a miniature energy detector the size of a soccer ball that can even scan an entire galaxy in a single day with two of them, and the miniature warp engine inside the probe allows the probe to travel twice as fast in a short period of time. However, because it is a civilian product, and the quality is not too good, the service life is not very long, it can only last for a week, and the warp engine will be scrapped due to fatigue after exceeding the time limit. However, due to the low price, the cowboy squad bought a lot of them at once, and even if they launched two or three a day, it would be enough for several years.
After hurriedly completing the preparation of supplies, Zhou Bocai and the others indulged in the four major space cities of the Golden Crow for two days, and even went to Kawa Space City to have a look. Two days later, the Starry Sky Cowboy passed through the starry gates and drilled into the vast sea of stars.

"Are you sure this is your home planet?" Pete asked speechlessly.
The planet in front of him completely looks like a primitive planet, and the entire planet can't see a trace of technological civilization creation at all, and even the most primitive radio waves can't be detected. And Kahlan actually swore that this was the home planet of their civilization, Cangyan Star. Could it be that in just over a thousand years, the Cangyan civilization has evolved to the stage where it can feather and fly immortals? Pete thought speechlessly as he looked at the patches of primeval jungle beneath Cambridge.
"Absolutely, I don't know what's going on, but I swear to the sea god that this is definitely our home planet, Cangyan, and you can't be wrong about this huge fiery red gas planet next to it," Kahlan said excitedly.
"Ellie, the Bull flew into the low orbit of the Flame Star and scanned it carefully to see if there was anything missing," Pete commanded without giving up.
"Alert, a strong energy source has been detected on the surface of the planet, an S-class energy attack has been discovered, and emergency regulations are being evaded" As soon as Ellie's voice fell, the overwhelming light cluster glowed green and flew towards the bull like raindrops.
"Boom!" There was a loud sound, and the bull shook violently. The energy shield flickered sharply, the piercing siren echoed throughout the battleship, and the huge hull slowly tilted towards the planet......
