Chapter 193: The Hapless Pirate
Three days passed, and the two men drove the patrol boat and continued to patrol the surrounding airspace.
The journey of interstellar voyage is undoubtedly very dull and boring. At the beginning, Masami Fujiwara was very excited, and the feeling of flying freely in space was really comfortable and exciting. But after this freshness passes, people can't help but slack off, and they no longer have the excitement and excitement they had at the beginning.
Now what Fujiwara Masami is thinking about is whether the station will arrange a vacation after returning from this patrol mission.
Just as she was driving the spaceship, thinking wildly, at this time, the radar monitoring system made a few soft sounds, and on the radar screen, several black dots suddenly appeared, and if you count carefully, there are as many as seven or eight.
Fujiwara Masami was taken aback, and hurriedly woke up Jiang Ping, who was napping on the side, and shouted: "Jiang Pingjun, look, there is a situation!" ”
Jiang Ping woke up and saw the black dots on the radar screen, and he was also surprised in his heart.
Could it be the Explorer's starship?
During the three-day patrol, the two of them did not encounter passing starships, and the passengers inside were all explorers who took the spaceship to the surrounding satellites to explore and hunt for treasures.
However, most of the time the spacecraft of such an explorer is a single one, and it is obviously unusual for seven or eight spaceships to appear at the same time, as is the case now.
If the spaceship in front of them is really an interstellar spaceship that the explorers are riding, then no matter how many there are, there is no threat to them, because such civilian interstellar spaceships are not equipped with firepower, and when they encounter a two-person patrol boat, they can only be beaten passively.
But is it really just a bunch of ordinary starships ahead?
Jiang Ping was very suspicious, and immediately sat in the cockpit, took over the piloting rights of Fujiwara Masami, and at the same time commanded the other party in a deep voice: "Yami, issue a warning message to the other party and let the other party identify himself!" ”
Fujiwara Masami responded, quickly passing through the communication system. A warning message was sent to the other party.
After the message is sent out. After waiting for a while, they did not get a response from the other party, and judging from the results of radar monitoring, the other party was rapidly approaching them.
In this case, it seems that the behavior of the comer has shown a certain sense of ill will.
Fujiwara Masami's face immediately turned a little pale, and she looked at Jiang Ping at a loss, and said, "Jiang." Jiang Pingjun, what should we do now? ”
Although he was very reluctant to believe that there would be a pirate ship in such a Pegasus starry skyspace, the situation in front of him had already made Jiang Ping smell a dangerous breath. He couldn't hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Send a message to the base for help, just say that there are eight ships of unknown origin that appear in the nearby airspace, and it is very likely that they are pirate ships." ”
Fujiwara Masami didn't say a word, and quickly sent this information to the military base of Pegasus.
When the staff of the military base received this information, they were visibly stunned. He replied, "Your Excellency Masami Fujiwara." Are you sure, in the airspace of Pegasus. Found a pirate ship? ”
"I'm sure, please send ships to support the base as soon as possible!" Fujiwara Masami gritted her teeth, although the situation in front of her was still unclear and the identity of the other party had not yet been determined, but for the sake of her own safety, she could only say so.
The expressions of the base personnel became serious, and they said: "Okay, I understand, I will immediately inform the base, I believe that in ten minutes at the earliest, the base battleship will arrive at your position." ”
After receiving the rescue reply from the base, Fujiwara Masami breathed a long sigh of relief, and her pale face eased slightly.
Jiang Ping was still skeptical, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, if it was really a pirate ship, otherwise it would be a lot of fun to make an oolong incident.
At this moment, the ship's radar system sounded several "woo-woo" sirens one after another, indicating that the ship's ship had been locked by the opponent's radar network.
Such a malicious provocation is tantamount to a declaration of war, which undoubtedly shows that the other side is indeed not good.
I didn't think it was really a pirate ship!
Jiang Ping couldn't help but curse secretly, these pirates are also bold, and they actually ran to the airspace of this military base, isn't this purely sending death.
However, before the other party is sent to death, if you can't escape this catastrophe, you are likely to become a martyr.
Fujiwara Masami's face turned pale again in an instant, and her voice trembled: "Jiang, Jiang Pingjun, what should we do now?" ”
Jiang Ping said in a deep voice: "Prepare to fight, I hope we can still be alive before the rescue from the base arrives." ”
At this moment, a sound of dripping sounded on the communication screen, and the other party made a request to talk.
Fujiwara Masami looked at Jiang Ping nervously, and Jiang Ping said, "Connect and see what they have to say." ”
Masami Fujiwara answered the call request, and the head of a hideous man with a scar appeared on the communication screen.
"You have been targeted by us, surrender obediently, and drive the ship over, otherwise your ship will be bombarded into the sky with one shot!" On the screen, the scar man shouted arrogantly.
"You, you're really pirates? We're just a patrol boat, and we don't have anything of value on board! Fujiwara Masami tried in vain to move the other party.
"Less nonsense, what we want is your ship, hurry up and drive the ship over, or we'll open fire!" The scar man said viciously.
After a pause, he said viciously: "Don't call the police, otherwise as soon as the battleship of the Federation arrives, you will also be buried with us!" ”
Fujiwara Masami said: But I have already called the police to the base!
Just when she didn't know how to answer, she suddenly heard the scarred man shouting angrily: "Damn, you dare to escape, this is self-defeating, fire, fire!" ”
Fujiwara Masami looked back, and it turned out that Ehei had already manipulated the patrol boat, turned around and began to flee quickly.
After hearing the words of the scarred man, Jiang Ping suddenly thought of a possibility, this group of pirates is likely to be a group of defeated soldiers, a group of fish that have slipped through the net under the recent pursuit of pirates in the star area.
The pirate ship should have been destroyed, most likely abandoning the ship in a space tank.
Space tanks cannot make space jumps, they cannot perform interstellar voyages. Without ships for interstellar jumping, they can only wander in this airspace, unable to escape the net that has been laid by the star region, and sooner or later they will be wiped out.
This would also explain why they desperately wanted to get their hands on this patrol boat, which was only a small ship, but it also had the ability to jump in space.
Since the other party did not have large ships, just some space tanks, Jiang Ping had no need to be afraid at all.
After understanding this, he began to turn around and flee at the first time, regardless of the other party's threat.
Now there is no need to fight with the other side at all, with the speed of the patrol boat, the other party will not be able to catch up at all, and as soon as the battleships at the base arrive, the death date of the other party will come, and there is no other way to go except to be captured.
Subsequent facts also proved that Jiang Ping's speculation was completely correct.
"Masami, we may have to make a small contribution."
Knowing the details of the other party, Jiang Ping had no worries at all, and couldn't help but joke with the other party happily.
"Really?"
Fujiwara Masami was still a little worried at first, but then the facts gradually made her settle down. According to the data displayed on the radar screen, the distance between the enemy and the opponent is getting farther and farther away, and the opponent is obviously unable to catch up, and the opponent has obviously opened fire, but the artillery fire has not fallen on the patrol boat for a long time.
Space tanks have a limited range, and no matter how fierce the pirates are, how can they be helpless.
Looking at the pirates who were still chasing after him, Jiang Ping couldn't help but start to doubt the wisdom of the other party, didn't they think about running for their lives at this time, knowing that they couldn't catch up, and still wanted to chase after them?
But in fact, even if the pirates want to escape for their lives now, they can't escape. Now that the base must have been tightly sealed off in the nearby airspace, these pirates are like fish in a net, and they can't escape the fate of being captured.
When the battleships of the base appeared in the current airspace, the pirates had no other choice, and they picked out the white flag and surrendered, and they could survive if they surrendered, otherwise they would only be sunk and turned into cosmic dust.
After the hapless pirates were captured, Masami Ehei Fujiwara and the others were supposed to continue their patrol mission, but then they received an order from the base to return home.
Although the two of them felt a little strange, they didn't pay much attention to it, and immediately followed the battleship back to the Pegasus base.
On the way back, Jiang Ping just gave up, and Fujiwara Masami was always full of excitement.
In any case, the two of them have made a big contribution this time, which is obviously very helpful for their last internship appraisal.
Fujiwara Masami even thought that going back to the base this time must be to celebrate their achievements, and when she thought of this, the smile on her face became even brighter.
After landing at the airport of the base, the two got off the patrol boat, but there was no waiting crowd at the airport, as well as flowers and applause, which made Fujiwara Masami's original cautious mind a little lost.
However, the adjutant of the garrison was waiting at the airport, and when he saw the two of them getting off the boat, he stepped forward, but he did not hesitate to give the two of them some praise, and then said that the squadron leader, Colonel Li Haoran, was in the garrison office, waiting to see the two.
The two followed him and went to the station of the third squadron together, and met Lieutenant Colonel Li Haoran in the commander's office.
When Li Haoran saw the two, he also did not hesitate to praise the actions of the two just now, and promised that he would give the two of them a great credit, and write this credit into the internship appraisal.
Jiang Ping just returned it, and Fujiwara Masami heard this, and her heart was full of joy.
After some praise, Li Haoran's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Two, now there is another task in the station, which I want to hand over to you, I hope you can make persistent efforts and make new contributions!" (To be continued.) )
