Chapter 236: Scouting Scavengers
Seeing that the No. 3 armed spacecraft was approaching the first scavenger spacecraft, Liu Fei ordered the other four armed spacecraft to accumulate energy and be in a state of combat readiness.
Several large cannons opened the cannon bay, revealing a hideous and cold cannon hole, and in the dark hole, there was an invisible energy pulsating.
At the slightest hint of the wind, a few wartime cannons can tear the clumsy scavenger spaceship into thousands of pieces in an instant.
At this time, the No. 3 armed spaceship of the Age of Mythology opened a pneumatic hatch, and a mecha team of thirty people was dispatched.
Although the five armed ships of the mercenary group in the mythological era all had independent weapon systems, the division of labor was taken into account when refitting.
Armed Ship No. 1 is used as a command ship, carrying the most powerful scanning system and communication system, and also has certain electronic warfare capabilities.
The No. 2, No. 4, and No. 5 armed ships are mainly long-range fire attacks, and the electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons carried are the most powerful.
Among these armed ships, the third armed ship is the most special, in addition to its basic long-range attack capabilities, its greatest function is long-distance running and melee ambush.
The third armed ship has the largest air-barred chamber, and it is capable of dispatching 3,000 mechs in five minutes, and has extremely fierce melee capabilities. The Age of Mythology III spacecraft also has a role, it is a sharp knife of this spaceship formation, which can perform many detailed tasks, especially against a large number of aliens.
On board the armed ship No. 3, there were no passengers, only fighters. It has 12,000 mecha warriors, all of whom have been carefully selected from tens of thousands of people, and they are extremely strong in individual combat, and they all share a common homeland - Drow.
Thirty mechs formed a battle formation, and a few minutes later, two more interstellar snipers were dispatched. This is a squad combat formation in the Age of Mythology, and any combat squad will have an interstellar sniper to provide long-range fire support.
――
At this moment, a hologram of the mecha team approaching the Scavenger spaceship appeared in the public space of the Fox, and some passengers who were immersed in the carnival were immediately pulled back to reality.
The black hole of the cannon, the heavily armed mech soldiers, and the cautious interstellar snipers make the atmosphere tense.
Gossip has fertile ground beneath this environment.
Because of the questions of many reporters when boarding the ship and Liu Fei's qualifications and age, the passengers on the Fox did not have much confidence in Liu Fei.
The scavenger spacecraft became the center of attention.
The moment the instant hologram appeared in the presidential suite, Big Joe felt that something was wrong and immediately contacted the captain of Fox to inquire about the situation.
Soon, Big Joe got feedback.
The reason is very simple, some reporters did not know from what source they got the news of the appearance of several scavenger spacecraft, and immediately asked Fox to open up the information.
According to those journalists, as a passenger of this luxury spaceship, there is a right to know.
Under pressure, the captain could only publish holograms.
"Who leaked the news?" Da Qiao Yu's face was cold, staring at the captain's steady and serious face.
"We're looking into it too."
"What's the problem? I'm the real tenant of this spaceship. A fleeting hint of anxiety on the captain's face was immediately spotted by Big Joe.
"Miss, it is very rare for a space log like this to be leaked under normal flight conditions, and at present, I don't have any more information, if there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."
"That's the only way to go." Da Qiao, who had thought that the captain would find something, looked disappointed.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Captain Crook to step up his vigilance." Captain An Fu.
"Well, okay, you have to be careful." Da Qiao felt a trace of inexplicable anxiety in her heart, and she felt as if a huge black hand was pushing something behind her back. From the time Liu Fei was questioned on the boat, many things gradually got out of her control. In fact, this is also the reason why she recently stayed in the presidential suite.
"Yes, miss."
――
Liu Fei, who was on the No. 1 armed spacecraft, didn't know that tens of thousands of people on the Fox held their breath and watched every move of the No. 3 armed spacecraft.
On the holographic screen, a team of thirty mechs approached the hull of the Scavenger spaceship, but the Scavenger spacecraft still did not respond.
This is absolutely counterintuitive.
As a professional scavenger spacecraft with a powerful scanning system, any foreign target will come close, and an alarm will sound inside the spacecraft, even if the astronauts are dormant.
Thirty mechs circled around the scavenger spaceship several times, and there was nothing to be done about it, after all, this is a clumsy and heavy scavenger ship, which itself needs to work in an extremely complex environment, and sometimes even has to resist the blows of meteorite streams and solar storms, and the mechs face this behemoth, like a dog biting a hedgehog and has nowhere to put its mouth.
"Dispatch the engineering mech." Liu Fei gave the order.
Immediately, another engineering mech squad consisting of thirty mechs flew from the collar baropressure chamber to the scavenger spaceship.
The armor shell of the Scavenger spaceship was so strong and thick that it took a full three hours for even thirty engineering mechs to cut a hole for the mechs to enter without any external interference. To the outsider, this kind of cutting may seem simple, but it actually requires great skill and extreme patience. First of all, it is necessary to find a suitable part that cannot damage the optical path and cable structure of the spacecraft; Secondly, if the energy shield is activated after the energy shield defense system cuts the hole, then things will become troublesome.
After the hole was cut, the battle mech was dispatched again, replacing the engineering mech.
The image on the holographic screen began to switch to the scanned image transmitted by the mech.
From the perspective of the image, the battle mech has penetrated deep into the interior of the Scavenger spaceship, and at the same time, a series of reconnaissance data is displayed on the holographic screen.
The data shows that the interior of the scavenger spacecraft is already in a cosmic vacuum, that is, this state is no longer suitable for human existence.
As the battle mech keeps going deeper, the data keeps refreshing.
The mood of the passengers on the Fox became heavier and heavier, and the data on the holographic screen had clearly shown that there was no sign of human activity on the ship, and almost all the equipment was dormant.
――
Could it be that this is a ghost ship?
Liu Fei's gaze kept switching between the cameras on the holographic screen, trying to find clues from it.
Everything seems normal and weird.
The holograms formed by the thirty battle mechs had almost no dead spots, and the scavenger spacecraft showed no signs of fighting.
Now, there's one last place left: the main control room.
This is the last hope.
Generally, a fully functional scavenger spacecraft like this does not need too many people to control, the crew is generally eight to fifteen people, occasionally carrying some scientific researchers, and the crew will not exceed thirty people, even if the crew is full, the scope of its activities will not be too large, the main control room of the scavenger spacecraft is large enough, it is very likely that all the crew members are concentrated in the main control room-
However, this reason could not convince Liu Fei, after all, there was no reason for the crew to keep more than 90% of a spaceship in a cold vacuum, not to mention, the main engine maintained a constant speed, and there was no need to turn off some low-energy life circulation systems.
"The life circulation system of the main control room is open, there is no one, the head of the regiment."
When a steel gate opened, a large space appeared on the holographic screen, and the indicator light inside was like a star twinkling in the sky, and the soft light turned on. However, there were no signs of life, the main control light brain was in automatic cruising state, and the transceiver device of the master control light brain was also working normally.
If there were anyone, this would undoubtedly be a scavenger spaceship in normal sailing condition.
"Check the Optical Brain Logbook."
"The logbook was at a standstill, two months ago, two months ago, the logbook was normal."
――
There are no clues.
There is no clue about it.
The crew of the scavenger spaceship seemed to have vanished into thin air, and two months ago it had become a ghost ship with no people.
As it turned out, the scavenger spaceship had become a ghost ship in the middle of the universe.
Looking at the non-stop feedback of the information flow, Liu Fei's brain calculated rapidly, and his brows furrowed. There was a hint of weirdness in everything, and vaguely, he seemed to grasp something, but this feeling was fleeting, and when he tried to think about it, everything became normal again.
