Chapter 433: The Battle After the Capture of the Ship
After this mysterious device passed through the space-time door, Shen Chao immediately waved his hand to close the space-time door, and then stepped forward, first entering a set of 16-digit startup passwords in a control panel in front of the equipment the size of this truck, and after the password was entered, he manually set a 10-second countdown.
During the countdown to the device, Shen Chaotong's guò communication channel sent someone an encrypted message that only they understood. He and all the expedition members on the ship then removed their helmets and turned off all electronics on their bodies.
After the countdown ended, an extremely strong electromagnetic pulse came out of the truck-sized equipment, and the electromagnetic pulse traveled at the speed of light, destroying the entire ship's electronic systems in an instant, and most of the equipment protected by Faraday cages was burned because the intensity of the pulse was too high.
All the Theron warriors on the ship fell to the ground in an instant because of this. Due to the intensity of the pulses, even the members of the expedition who were prepared to deal with them were affected by different degrees of dù, and in the first half minute of the electronic pulses, most of them experienced dizziness and nausea due to the interference of nerve currents in their bodies.
Of course, such a blow cannot completely paralyze a starship. Soon, the ship's various backup power and automatic systems were activated to take over the main system, which had been destroyed by the electromagnetic pulse. However, the Theron Warriors, who had fallen to the ground, were unable to get back up because the internal master control components had been burned down.
In other words, the blow just now wiped out at least more than 90% of the Theron combat power on this ship! By the time the power in the engine room was restored, Shen Chao had already opened the second space-time door and threw a green glow stick inside.
Soon. A whole team of engineers with special equipment passed through this space-time gate. After they passed the guò, they quickly unloaded the equipment they were carrying, and with smooth cooperation, they quickly assembled a space-time gate stabilizer with a diameter of 5 meters, and connected it to the space-time door that Shen Chao had just opened.
This is the first time that the combined space-time gate stabilizer has been used in actual combat, and most of the previous missions have not used this kind of equipment, so although it was born almost at the same time as the integrated stabilizer, it has not been used until now.
As it turned out, the assembled space-time door stabilizer was no worse than the one-piece fixed one, and it was put into operation as soon as they connected the cable to the engine compartment and adjusted the output. The space-time gate was immediately stabilized by the high-energy laser it fired, and Shen Chao was able to let go of the control and issued the order "The third phase of the operation begins".
With this order of his was given. The other end of the space-time gate stabilizer lit up with a green light. On the other end, the Marines lined up in a line that had already been prepared. The whole team rushed through the space-time gate and entered the interior of the battleship.
They did not stop behind the gate of time and space, but rushed to their intended mission point one by one, searching for possible remnants of the Theron and recovering all the corpses of the Theron warriors who had fallen to the ground.
At this stage of the mission, the most dangerous part has passed. The rest can basically be seen as finishing touches. Shen Chao let go of his tense nerves. After handing over the defense area, he rushed to the already occupied bridge with his people.
It must be said. After taking down a Theron warship, he did feel a lot more balanced in his heart, and he no longer disliked the Theron as much as before. After rushing to the bridge. The first thing they saw was the corpses of the Theron warriors near the door, and it was clear that some of them had been destroyed by Mass Effect weapons, and many more were in good appearance.
After entering the bridge, Shen Chao first greeted the personnel of the other team, and then he walked straight to the corner of the bridge, where six Theron captives knelt in a row facing the wall at this time.
Their wrists were shackled, and they all wore opaque masks on their heads, so that they wouldn't see anything the expedition didn't want them to see. When Shen Chao saw this, he put on his helmet again, and then lifted his mask one by one to look at these prisoners.
As luck would have them, the six Theron captured on a bridge belonged to four types, including one No. 1. Now the Marines had just dispersed across the ship, and sporadic firefights began to be heard elsewhere on board. It seems that they will soon capture some new captives as well.
After inspecting the prisoners of war, Shen Chao motioned to take them back to the headquarters for detention and observation. The captives were quickly escorted away. After the captives were taken away, Shen Chao asked if the technicians of the other team next to him had taken over the Theron warship. The captives were still there just now, so it was inconvenient for him to ask this kind of question.
"Most of the systems have taken over, and the Therons' flight control and communication systems are not complicated. But as far as our initial inspection is concerned, the ship's transition system is self-contained and must be activated through the Guò Theron biometric authentication process, and in my initial inspection, it may take several hours or even a whole day to crack the system. The technician replied.
"Very good, let's get started now. Shen Chao was satisfied with his answer, he was ready to spend several days here to fully take over the Theron warship, but now it seemed that things should not be as complicated as they expected.
While the technician cracked the Theron Leap Protection System, Shen Chao took over the control platform to check the Theron people's previous communication information. Since the room was occupied by the team almost instantly, the Theron people did not have time to destroy the data, so all information records were preserved.
Through these surviving communication information, Shen Chao quickly estimated the size of the Theron fleet that was chasing the human fugitive fleet, and unlike the conjecture within the fugitive fleet, the Theron fleet that was pursuing them was not very large.
Counting the various auxiliary ships, there are only about seventy ships, and there are only forty or so large ships such as battle fortresses. Despite this, some Theron people complained in their communications that the cost of pursuing the humans was too high and that the rear supply lines were difficult to maintain ....... It seems that the Theron people's ship-building capabilities are far less than the expedition had previously anticipated.
The expedition's earlier optimistic estimates suggested that the Theron would have a large fleet of thousands of battle fortresses, but now it seems that this estimate was overly optimistic. The actual size of the Theron fleet may be only a tenth of this number.
After reviewing this important information, Shen Chao began to issue the declaration of occupation using the ship-wide broadcast system on the control panel. The general content of the broadcast is to inform all the Theron people who have not yet been captured that their warship has been occupied by the Earth Federation, and if they want to live, they must come out and surrender quickly.
The broadcast worked well, and all the Therons on the ship knew that they had been attacked by humans after hearing the broadcast, but unfortunately, the Theron people on the ship did not carefully consider his persuasion to surrender.
More than half of the Theron people were still resisting their occupation after hearing the announcement, and Shen Chao then took the men on a rough tour of the ship amid sporadic firefights. Along the way, he also killed a few sporadic Therons. Not only are the battle fortresses of the Terron massive, but they also now look much larger in interior space than human battle carriers.
There are countless places on the entire battleship that can be used to hide people, and the electromagnetic pulse they created before only paralyzed the entire ship of the Theron Warriors, but the humanoid Theron survived due to their biological differences.
At this time, the constant exchange of fire from all corners of the ship was heard from the time they were engaged with the Marines. Although the Theron people organized some counterattacks that seemed to him to be passable, their counterattacks were futile due to the huge disadvantage in weapons and technology, and more and more Theron people were killed and surrendered, and the final outcome of the battle was no longer in suspense.
After that, Shen Chao continued to receive battle reports from various detachments in the Marine Corps, and the battle lasted for another half an hour before it basically subsided. They have killed nearly 100 humanoid Therlons without a single casualty, and the number of captives has exceeded 100, including all 7 production models of humanoid Therons that have appeared in the BSG series.
At this point, most of the Therons on board have been captured or killed, and only a few are still at large. All the captured prisoners were taken to the airport for centralized custody, because it was the emptiest place on the ship, and there was no place to hide and make small movements.
As for the rest of the ship, there will of course be some dark corners that are not seen, after all, there is so much space here that it takes a long time to search for all the space where people can hide. In order to save time, Shen Chao prepared a more trouble-free plan.
He first sealed off the airport where the Theron prisoners of war were held, and then had the ship's engineering units begin to discharge nerve gas into the ship's ventilation system. It is a colorless and odorless nerve gas that mainly acts as a quadriplegic limb and produces horrific hallucinations.
The members of the expedition and the members of the Marine Corps were wearing fully sealed armor, so they naturally did not have to worry about the effects of nerve gas, but the Theron people hiding in various corners of the ship did not have this condition.
No matter how much these humanoid Therons boast of their racial superiority, their bodies are still structurally human, which makes them completely unable to resist the effects of nerve gas, and after being poisoned, under the effect of numbness and hallucinations in their limbs, soon some Therons who can't hide run to a place where they can see and call for help, and are then taken away by heavily armed personnel.
After another hour and a half, all the living Theron people on the ship were gathered in the airport, and many of them were lying on the ground receiving infusions to relieve the effects of the nerve poison in their bodies. More often looked at the Marines guarding them with hostile eyes, as if they were looking at monsters. (To be continued......)
PS: First of all, thank you for yesterday's vote for the "lock Lin bag 2", yesterday's break was indeed an accident, and it was difficult to brake as soon as the brain hole was opened. Don't be nervous for no reason.
As for whether there will be a second watch tonight, I can't guarantee that, after all, I've only finished this chapter. However, if the yard is in good condition after dinner, there may be ^......
