Chapter 139: The Ghost Ship

Due to the urgency of the military's convening time this time, Li Hao did not delay much and rushed to the planet where the star field garrison was located to report by spaceship.

In addition to Li Hao, there were more than a dozen masters of mecha games who responded, plus there were originally more than eighty mecha soldiers in the barracks, and they formed a mecha squadron of 100 people.

The mecha squadron set off before waiting for the people, which shows the urgency of this mission, but what the specific task is, has not yet been explained to this mecha squadron.

Li Hao and the other folk masters took advantage of the spaceship to try out the real mecha in the training room on the ship. All the driving is the same as in the game, except that the body load is quite heavy when accelerating, and it is not as easy as in the game.

Almost a day later, the ship jumped out of hyperspace and into normal flight. Li Hao: They immediately saw a small fleet outside the porthole of the spaceship.

This fleet had two medium warships, eight small warships.

A mecha soldier beside Li Hao said: "There are actually two medium-sized warships, the strength is so strong, why do you want our mecha troops to come over?" ”

Li Hao was also a little puzzled, the mecha unit was at best an infantry in the space age, although the mecha also had the ability to fly for a short time, but the positioning of the mecha unit was still close to the infantry. In the real space battlefield, it is still the world of warships. With such a fleet, mechs play a minimalt role in battle.

The spaceship docked with one of the medium-sized warships, and the mechs on the spaceship boarded the medium-sized battleship.

Li Hao also followed the soldiers to the conference room of the battleship.

The soldiers took off their hats, placed them neatly in the corner of the table, and sat up straight. Li Hao, a master from the people, also learned from the old soldiers, put his hat away and waited quietly.

"Stand and salute!"

The mecha soldiers stood up in unison and gave a military salute.

In the middle of the conference room, a middle-aged officer returned a military salute: "Please be seated!" ”

After the mecha soldiers sat down, the officer said, "This mission is to protect the scientific researchers from boarding a huge ship of unknown origin, and if there is a battle, it is likely to take place inside the ship." So a large number of mecha soldiers are needed. Some of you are members of the private sector who have come this time in response to the call of the Federation, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the Federal Government. ”

"Due to the urgency of time, we don't have time to transfer mecha soldiers from other star domains, so we can only call the mecha teams and civilian mecha enthusiasts from the Shuiqiong star domain. In view of the dangers of this mission, it is still too late for civilian personnel to withdraw if they want to. ”

No one quit, and every mecha master who responded to the call was ready.

The officer said, "Very well, all of you here are warriors." Now I would like to ask the researchers to introduce this mission. Miss Bei Yanqin, a first-class academician of the Federal Academy of Sciences, is invited. ”

There was a slight twitch in the conference room, and even Li Hao was surprised, although he was still short when he was in the Shuiyun Federation, he already knew very well what kind of institution the Federal Academy of Sciences was, and what kind of person a first-class academician was.

In the entire Shuiyun Federation, there are only more than 30 first-class academicians, who undertake large-scale scientific and technological projects of the Shuiyun Federation. It can be said that these people determine the top level of science and technology in the Federation.

A girl who didn't look to be seventeen or eighteen years old walked out, she came to the middle of the conference room and bowed to everyone: "Hello everyone, my name is Bei Yanqin." ”

The mecha soldiers were stunned, it's not that everyone has never seen beautiful women, but it's really rare to be so beautiful. If there is one word to describe Bei Yanqin, it can only be perfect. Perfection without any blemishes.

The clothes on her body are new biomimetic materials, very soft, and in the conference room where there is no wind, the dress still flutters gently, like water ripples, creating a circle of ripples, full of movement.

Li Hao never imagined that the federal academician would be so young, and he had the impression that the academician of the Academy of Sciences should be gray-haired and wrinkled.

Bei Yanqin's voice was sweet, she pressed a remote control, the light in the conference room dimmed, and a hologram of a giant ship appeared directly in front of her. She pointed to the giant ship and said, "This is the giant ship we will be boarding in the near future." ”

"Huh? Ghost ship? More than a dozen whispers rang out in the conference room.

Bei Yanqin said: "Yes, it seems that everyone is quite familiar with its legend, this is the legendary ghost ship." According to the earliest records available, this giant ship appeared more than 68,000 years ago in the Star Domain of the Jinyan Empire. At that time, a merchant fleet witnessed it appear and then disappear. The caravan filmed its disappearance, and the video was a sensation.

"The appearance and disappearance of this giant ship is not a normal hyperspace jump, but an unknown space teleportation technology. The caravan was unobservable when it appeared, but when it vanished, it slowly faded, fading into a phantom and disappearing into space. It's a pity that this video can't be found, maybe it's preserved in the National Archives of the Jin Yan Empire. ”

Since the Golden Yan Empire and the Water Cloud Federation have always been in a hostile relationship, it is impossible for the Golden Yan Empire to share this kind of video with the Water Removal Federation.

Bei Yanqin continued: "It was more than three thousand years after that appearance that the giant ship reappeared and appeared on the battlefield with a level 3 civilization in the star field of the Xiaodi Republic. ”

The holograms in the conference room change to show a battlefield in full swing. Energy cannons of various warships, missiles of space fighters staggered in mid-air. From time to time, the energy shield of the battleship was crushed, and the entire battleship exploded from it.

A faint light flashed in the middle of the battlefield, and a huge ship gradually revealed its outline. Many energy cannons didn't stop in mid-air, and huge pillars of energy light shot towards the giant ship.

Strangely, the pillar of light passed directly through the giant ship, which was like a phantom, disembodied.

As the giant ship became real, some energy cannons bombarded it and exploded on the giant ship, but did not cause any damage to the shell of the giant ship. The giant ship didn't seem to raise its shield, and the cannon fire poured directly on the hull of the ship, but the shell was made of unknown materials, and it was unscathed by the energy cannon.

The giant ship did not return fire, but floated quietly under artillery fire. Neither side dared to fire at the giant ship again, believing that it was a ship of advanced civilization, and both sides had retreated more than a million kilometers before friend or foe were known.

Bei Yanqin continued: "After about an hour, the giant ship gradually faded and disappeared into space again. After that time, the giant ship was officially known as the Ghost Ship. ”

The hologram in the conference room changed, showing the process of the giant ship fading and disappearing.

"After that, every hundreds, decades, millennia, ghost ships will always appear. It wasn't until more than 3,000 years ago that a pilot of a space fighter in our Water Cloud Federation discovered the Ghost Ship. He made the bold decision to get aboard the ghost ship to take a look. He piloted the space fighter to approach the ghost ship, found the landing hatch in the stern,

He piloted the space fighter and parked on the platform outside the hatch, but unfortunately he couldn't find a way to open the hatch, and then the ghost ship gradually faded and showed signs of disappearing, he didn't dare to stay longer, and drove the space fighter away.

"After that, a lot of people tried to board the ghost ship. 1,200 years ago, it was our Water Cloud Federation, a caravan mecha security guard went to the platform outside the hatch, and with the help of the mecha to manually open the hatch, he became the first person to enter the ghost ship. However, he fell into a coma shortly after entering the ship, and when he woke up, he had been thrown out of the ghost ship and appeared in the star field five thousand light-years away.

"Since then, there has been a mecha master in the Republic of Xiaodi who has managed to board the ghost ship, and the same happened to him. This is the general history of the ghost ship, the fame of the ghost ship has been very great in recent thousands of years, and there are many adapted film and television works, but they have all been artistically processed. This is not the case, and it can be said that until now, nothing has been known about ghost ships.

"More than a month ago, the ghost ship reappeared in the star field of our Water Cloud Federation. I called on more than 2,000 unmanned monitoring stations in the Federation to track the path of the ghost ship. Roughly inferring the pattern of its appearance, if my inference is correct, in two hours, it will appear in this star field. Climb aboard the Ghost Ship and explore one of the most mysterious flying machines in history. ”

This mission, it turned out to be to board the mysterious ghost ship.

Bei Yanqin said: "After boarding the ghost ship, without my order, no matter what the situation, it is forbidden to use weapons and attack everything on the ship. While we don't know much about ghost ships, it is certain that they are the product of a more advanced civilization. Due to the precedent of successful boarding, the safety surname is still quite high if the first attack is not launched after boarding the ship. This boarding is mainly about exploration and communication. Okay, let's get ready, let's gather in more than an hour. ”

After speaking, Bei Yanqin bowed slightly to everyone, and then left the conference room.

The middle-aged officer said: "I reiterate the discipline again, after setting off, everything will obey Miss Pei's orders, and it is absolutely forbidden to use weapons without Miss Pei's permission." No matter who made that flying machine, it is more advanced than us, and we must not act rashly against more advanced civilizations. If you need any equipment and materials, you can apply to the fleet, and as long as the military logistics have the materials, they can give them to you. ”

After the meeting was disbanded, some soldiers took Li Hao and them to the temporary dormitory. Li Hao thought about it for a while and asked the quartermaster for lighting and interstellar communication tools. Interstellar communication instruments are required, and the man in the historical story learned that after entering the ghost ship, he could be thrown thousands of light-years away in a coma. At that time, communication tools are needed to call for help.

In addition, Li Hao made a list of some first-aid items for use in case of emergency.

Li Hao went to the hangar again, selected his own suitable mecha, installed the communicator in the toolbox on the back of the mecha, debugged it, and then only needed to press the button to enter the use state. (To be continued.) )
