"Thank you, Admiral, I won't let you down......" Shen Chao replied with a serious salute. After such a long time, the command of the battleship finally came into his hands.

"One last thing, are you sure you don't think about my mention anymore?" Anderson nodded, then brought up the matter he wanted Alice to stay in N7 training camp.

"I'm sorry, sir, we won't be separated...... Alice shook her head and replied, although Shen Chao next to her didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious.

"Well, anyway, good luck to you......" Anderson couldn't help it when he saw them like this, and left the Budapest with a little regret.

"You too, Admiral......" Shen Chao said as he looked at his back, he now knew how much Anderson had helped him.

"He looks like a pretty good guy. Alice whispered to Shen Chao after watching Anderson leave.

"That's right, that's why he was cheated by Saren back then, and that's why his apprentice Shepard is so much stronger than him......" Shen Chao commented mercilessly.

Anderson's personality is more suited to being a diplomat than an all-powerful super-soldier. With that, he began to tour his battleship.

After completing the handover of the battleship with Anderson, Shen Chao first got to know his current crew, the navigator and the ......chief engineer, and then he issued his first order after boarding the ship.

Within an hour of boarding, Shen Chao issued an order for all crew members to take a leave of absence, and announced his order on the ship's radio.

He gave all the crew 3 days off ship. During this time, the crew members can leave the ship to recuperate, and then return when the holiday is complete to prepare for sailing.

Although it was strange about his orders, there were no officers and men in this world who did not like offshore vacations, so after some finishing touches, the vast majority of the crew left the brand-new battleship. Only a few people in the turbine crew are still doing the inspection work after the power core is turned off.

It was only at this time that Shen Chao began to take a closer look at the whole ship, and unlike the Normandy that he had stayed in before, the interior space of the Budapest was quite large. The 11 main decks vary in size and function.

Deck 3 alone, where they are currently located, has more than a dozen separate rooms, and the other floors are also very complex and need to be carefully inspected and familiarized. The process will take a long time, and they just need to determine their cabin today.

On deck 4. Shen Chao found his captain's room. Unlike small frigates like Normandy, as the main battleship of the Star Alliance, the captain's room of the cruiser is quite large.

Shen Chao's captain's room has a space of about 100 square meters, and it is difficult to imagine such a large personal space on a battleship with precious space.

The captain's interior is equipped with all kinds of equipment. The decoration is also very simple, except that the lighting is dim like other Star Alliance warships, everything else is good.

"It's a lot better than we thought?" After the hatch opened, Alice commented. After saying that, she began to check the qiē in the room like a hostess who had just moved into a new home.

"Yes, but it's still too dark. Shen Chao partially agreed with her opinion after walking in, and the first thing he thought of when he saw this captain's room was to redecorate it. The Star-United battleship is good at everything, but this lighting system is too bad.

"We can modify this place......" Alice said, putting down her weapons and taking off her armor.

"That's right. But I think let's wait a minute, you should remember our agreement......" Shen Chao suddenly hugged his girlfriend from behind after locking the hatch, biting her earlobe and said.

Thousands of words are omitted below......

That same evening. After confirming that everyone, including several people from the ship crew, had left for the final routine inspection, Shen Chao went directly to the cargo hold on deck 8 to meet the others.

After a few people checked separately and confirmed that there was no one else on the whole ship, Shen Chao opened a space-time door in the cargo hold, and then several of them spent nearly half an hour bringing all the things in the cargo hold and the 3 layers of vehicle decks below back to the second base!

These things were all allocated to his battleship by the Star Federation for free, and the list of items was listed by Shen Chao himself. These are all key materials for their next stage of development.

A total of 40 military models are equipped with a complete Acadia shuttle, six M-44 hammerhead fighting vehicles, and 320 Marines with individual armament......

There is also a batch of Jace plasma weapons that he used his ghost privilege to intercept when he was in the Citadel, and many of their gains this time are things that are hard to buy in the market. Crucial for their next stage of development.

The total value of these items is over 30 million Star Coins, and all of them are brand new high-level military items, enough to arm a 300-strong army. And this force, which does not yet exist zài, will be the key to the full reception of warships and future development.

Half an hour later. After confirming that everything had been brought back, Shen Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and he waited for the space-time gate to slowly disappear before signaling that everyone could go to rest separately. They have a lot to do in their next stage.

Dr. Neville was going to use the equipment they had brought back to accomplish several important things. Completed the development of permanent anti-aging technology.

Shen Chao also needs to figure out how to use external energy to expand and maintain the space-time gate, the situation they encountered at that time in the Divine Castle must be understood, and the preparation for the establishment of a direct army after the next crossing mission......

These things are very complicated, and they all need to be completed in a short period of time, because Shen Chao can't wait to really take control of his battleship.

I didn't think it was when I didn't have a battleship before. But now that he has a battleship that nominally belongs to him, Shen Chao is very eager to completely control such a battleship.

Back in the living area, when Shen Chao and Alice were about to go to sleep, the alarm in his room suddenly went off, and then he received a message from Custer. A suspicious cargo ship entered the warning zone.

Hearing this, Shen Chao sighed, and then he pulled up his girlfriend and hurriedly got dressed and went out to meet everyone.

At this time, 40 kilometers away from them, a medium-sized freighter was slowly approaching their island......

This is a 3,000-ton freighter, and it looks very ordinary except for the very remote channel. If anything, this is that it has neither cargo nor cargo.

It was a pirate ship, or rather, a ship captured by pirates. There were more than 50 militants on board, belonging to a pirate group and a small mercenary group with a good reputation in the industry.

The two groups of militants have a common employer and purpose, they are hired to storm the "defenseless" private island, capture the beautiful owner, and then, depending on what their employer wants.

In the captain's cabin, a young Spaniard in loose casual clothes steers the ship to their destination with a cigar at the helm. He looks between 30-35 years old, has healthy bronzed skin, and looks like a person who often goes to sea.

His name is Carl. Tala. Gna, a typical scum plus criminal. If there really is any god in this world who manages justice, he will definitely be killed by a thunderbolt as soon as possible.

In two years he changed his name and removed his middle name. So his current name is Carl. Gna. He is the current captain of the ship plus the pirate leader. The ship, of course, is not his, the freighter is just a tool for him to get closer to the target.

Cal. Gna was originally just a black market drug dealer in Spain, an amateur bank robber, and a strong sergeant. He was arrested 10 years ago and later released from prison early by the guò gang operation.

To put it simply, until two years ago, he was just an inconspicuous gangster. His real fortune came two years ago, when he quit the gang and moved to Somalia to join the burgeoning and promising profession of piracy.

A year ago, after successfully getting rid of the pirate boss who pulled himself into the industry, Carl . Gna set up his own mountain, led his men to do several big business, and became a well-known pirate in the local seas.

Now he manages a pirate group of more than 140 people, who have long operated in Somali waters, occasionally robbing or extorting passing cargo ships, and are on the wanted lists of several countries.

Although his career has risen for more than a year, he has become a billionaire with assets of tens of millions of euros, but because he is wanted, he can only move in three areas such as Somalia, and there is no way to return to his hometown to enjoy life.

That's why he took over the job, and agreed to work with a mercenary group he hadn't seen before, his employer was very capable, and if this job could be completed smoothly, he would be able to retire with honors and take his large fortune to South America to find a good place to retire.

Thinking of this, Carl. Gerner smiled again, then took a deep puff of the fine cigar in his mouth. However, his good mood cannot affect others, especially the row of people tied to him.

Cal. Gna was not alone in the captain's room, his two men each flanked him with an AKM rifle, protecting him and guarding the row of hostages in front of him who were sturdily tied and whose eyes and mouths were covered by strips of cloth.

They hijacked the freighter for only about 10 hours, and the crew should have thrown it into the sea to feed the fish, according to his meaning, but the leader of the mercenary group who cooperated with him disagreed. Say that these people are not mission targets, and they can't be killed according to convention.

"him X routine. "Carl. Gna said disdainfully in his heart, it was his people who acted when the ship was hijacked, and that team of mercenaries did not participate in that stage of the operation, so naturally they were not seen by these crew members, so there was no pressure.

Thinking of this, he thought of the leader of the mercenary group again, Nima's is actually a chick, or a very punctual Eastern European chick, that seductive posture......

"When this work is over, you must press her under you and have a good time......" Calgner, who was at the helm, made up his mind as he fantasized in his head. (To be continued.)
