A month and a half later.

"Enemy ships, disintegrate." Xia Yongzhi's voice echoed on the empty bridge, "The battle is over, everyone has worked hard." ”

"Actually, it's not hard at all." Enleko immediately said, "The whole battle process is simply 'Italian cannon firing', 'loading' and 'Italian cannon firing', that's all!" Our engineering department just pushed the shells into the Italian guns the whole time! ”

"The deck department also watched the fireworks the whole time, don't complain." Lin Youde couldn't help complaining.

"Actually, next time, we can try not to use Italian guns, and let our pilots fly the combat boats to fight a space battle that is more in line with your usual human style." The dolphin in the tank suggested.

Xia Yongzhi opened her mouth to refuse before Lin Youde responded: "That's not good, the danger factor is too great, since there are means to achieve the goal safely, why risk yourself?" Wouldn't it be better to maintain a record of zero casualties? ”

Yes, so far, the Enterprise has maintained zero casualties, and none of the creatures on board have died so far, which is amazing no matter how you think about it.

"You know," Nhleko said on the officer's channel, "the pirates have begun to call us pirate hunters, and there is a saying that if you encounter a turrean sweeping fleet, pray to the gods, and if you meet us, curse the gods, because the gods have abandoned them." ”

"Are we that excessive?" Lin Youde scratched the back of his head.

Since the Enterprise accepted the task of sweeping up pirates, it has swept away a large number of small and medium-sized pirate groups in a month and a half. Because it's a small and medium-sized pirate group, there aren't many ships in general, and it's not very big. Therefore, for a month and a half, the battle of the Enterprise was solved by crushing the Italian cannon as it is today.

It is precisely because of the crushing solution to the battle that the pirates suffered heavy casualties - there is no time to abandon the ship, come up and overload the shield with one shot and then scatter the ship, who can stand this Nima.

Moreover, the Enterprise itself has few crews, and it is afraid of rescuing people and luring wolves into the house, so the Enterprise does not save people at all, and after the bombardment, it uses a traction beam to pull up something that can prove that it has overturned a certain pirate group and leaves. The pirates were left to fend for themselves - the result was that the pirate groups attacked by the Enterprise were almost completely wiped out, and occasionally rescued by the cooperative underground merchants, all of which became the source of the enterprise's evil deeds.

Other than that. Most of the individuals of the intelligent race are unwilling to admit that they are weak, and the same is true of the pirates, who always portray the Enterprise as very powerful. In order to show that he is not weak - "our ship carried three guns", "when they came on board to slaughter us." We've fought valiantly, but you know that the captain of the Enterprise is a half-blood! Half of the blood of the High Priestess of Joka, his mother is a level thirteen psionic! As soon as he appeared, as soon as he raised his hand, we were all in the power of the mind......

In short, this is it, and the Enterprise suddenly becomes Lina Inbas-like existence.

"Recently, there have been merchant ships that pay protection money when they come across us." Nhleko continued, "How do you feel like we're the bad guys......"

"That's true from another angle. Chief Engineer! ”

"Yes, alright. We've pulled up the loot that looks like it's worth fishing for with a traction beam, and the housekeeper is counting the loot. ”

**

In the hangar, several crew members are moving things pulled by the towing beam into the hangar.

"The warp core of the enemy ship has been captured." Lin Xiangzhi looked at the thing and said, then turned his head and shouted to the members of the engineering department, "Hurry up and confirm that this thing can still work." ”

An inoperable core value will be greatly reduced, but even if it can't be operated, the warp core is the most valuable part of the ship, but a "one" must be added, in other words, the core that can operate is the most valuable thing on the ship, and you don't even need one.

A minute later, the members of the engineering department with confused faces looked up at Lin Xiangori.

"General Affairs Officer, you'd better come and have a look."

"Send me the data directly."

As soon as Hayashi gave the instructions, the data was sent to her, and she immediately forwarded the data to the others.

Lin Youde was the first to reply: "A seventh-level warp core? ”

"I'm afraid so."

"Don't make a fuss, how can this kind of little pirate group have a seventh-level warp core, once the news leaks, they will definitely be eaten alive. This is the Muenzo Zone, the famous outlaw place in the Milky Way. ”

Lin Youde paused for a second after sending the message.

Then he said, "I'll go to the hangar right away." ”

A few minutes later, the officers of the Enterprise (including Freya) gathered in the hangar, surrounding the loot they had just captured.

"Can't be wrong," Enleko patted the shell of the thing, "This is a seventh-level warp core, and the engine made with this thing can only travel from Togawa to Arcturus in three days, which is extremely fast." ”

Lin Youde frowned, and he stepped forward and circled around the warp core.

"I couldn't find the manufacturer's logo."

There are only a few races in the entire galaxy that can create seventh-level warp cores, and each race has a special monopoly responsible for the manufacture of seventh-level warp cores, and they will all engrave their own logos on the core, which cannot be eliminated unless the core is destroyed.

"Is it possible that another race mastered the manufacturing method of the seventh-level warp core, and then produced this thing?" Xia Yongzhi asked.

Lin Youde did not answer.

In fact, many of the seventh-level warp cores have fallen into the hands of the lower races through gifts and the like, and even the key drawings of the seventh-level warp cores have been leaked, after all, the history of the galaxy is so long, anything can happen.

However, whether it was the reverse engineering of the seven-level warp core that was in hand, or the trial production according to the drawings, it basically failed.

There are more critical parts that are in the hands of a few giants - and all galactic civilizations think so.

The sudden emergence of a race capable of producing seventh-level warp cores will most likely mean that it will become the eleventh giant of the Galactic Council.

Lin Youde put his hand on the core, thought for a few seconds, and then said: "Recover as much as possible the wreckage of the pirate ship that was smashed by us, capture a few or a few that look high-level, no, all the survivors are arrested, torture them one by one, I want to know the origin of this seventh-level warp core." ”

**

Thirty minutes later, the Enterprise scoured the entire combat airspace, finding only three survivors among the ship's debris that had scattered into tens of kilometers of debris.

The three were all men, so Lin Youde ordered strict torture and threw them to the deck department.

"Judging from the recovered debris," Lin Kaori reported the results of the debris identification to Lin Youde, "this may be a special service ship, a special service ship disguised as a pirate ship." We found the ship's main computer, but there was only a little bit left in it, and it looked like it had been formatted a moment before it was destroyed, which the pirates wouldn't have done. In addition, most of the bodies we found were suffocated by suffocation, and there were portable ventilators on the spaceship, but these people were not using them. It is estimated that the survivors we caught fainted at the moment the spaceship was destroyed. If we get a little late, maybe they'll wake up and cut themselves. ”

Lin Youde smacked his lips.

At this time, the engineering department was building a new warp engine with spare elements prepared on the Enterprise, and the seven-stage warp core was installed in it.

Lin Youde is observing this work.

Enleko and Jinghuayuan were in a daze in the corner at the rapidly changing holographic stereoscopic view - Lin Youde knew that it was the two of them talking over the phone, and seeing how they were focused, it seemed very difficult to use this seventh-level warp speed core.

Lin Youde smacked his lips again.

Then he turned and was about to leave, when Enleko asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Of course I went to the shrine." Lin Youde replied truthfully, "At this time, I feel that it is better to ask for a little green sister." ”

"However, she might take you back in time to the production of this core, or to some other useless time period......

"Wouldn't it be nice to get some information that way?"

**

The shrine on the Enterprise is well-built, showing the paranoia of the engineering department's dead house in terms of details.

They even transplanted a tree in the open space that was used as a shrine - an ancient cultural nerd in the engineering department thought that the shrine had to be made of Mikamiki.

In addition to the trees, a torii gate was built at the entrance to the open space, but there were no birds on the Enterprise.

The main hall of the shrine is also built very much like a thing, and Midori sits in the middle of the main hall. (To be continued.) )
