Four days after leaving the Saturn base, the Qinghe received a distress signal, and the battleship immediately changed course and rushed to the mine in distress.

The piercing siren immediately gathered all the team members together, and Liu Haiying stood at the end of the cabin with a frown: "Soldiers, this is not a drill!" Four minutes ago, we received a distress signal from the T744 mine, and the situation is currently unknown. This is probably your first battle, and if there are pirates there, I need you to rid them of all enemies. ”

Large bonanza areas, such as the asteroid belt and satellite mines of the major planets, are largely in the hands of state-backed mining companies, and such mines are usually guarded by military guards. Private exploitation is allowed in remote mining areas, and mine owners who do not have official guards have to recruit their own guards, and such mining areas are also the favorite fat of pirates.

"Listen, I'll stress again, this time it's true, any one of you is more important than a pirate on a ship, I don't need a captive, a pirate doesn't need sympathy, if anyone makes a fool after the battle starts, don't blame me for kicking his ass." Liu Haiying looked at the time and added, "You have half an hour to prepare." ”

Two battle groups of 26 fighters entered the equipment depot in batches to receive weapons and ammunition, and the fighters, who had long been accustomed to all this, quickly finished arming and left the warehouse.

In the first actual battle, Ye Fei was inexplicably nervous, and without any faith, he couldn't help but pray to the unknown master: Amitabha Buddha Halleluja......

What exactly he prayed for, even he didn't figure out.

The Qinghe assault ship silently streaked through the cold and empty universe, and inside the bridge, the optical observation system had already captured images of the mining area.

After the brightness is replenished, the picture is extremely clear.

Liu Haiying almost stuck on the monitor: "No movement, no lights, are we late?" "The large mining area is composed of several nearby asteroids, with a control center, the control center of the T744 mining area is located on the surface of a rocky asteroid with a diameter of tens of kilometers, and the buildings with a radius of nearly one kilometer are deserted, like a ghost domain.

"Maybe." Captain Qi Xiaodong sighed: "It took us half an hour just to travel, which is still fast, and we can't run for a day when we are far away." What do you think? To go or not to go? ”

"It's all here, how can you not go, I'll lead the team down, and I'll ask you from above." The environment on the asteroid is harsh, for safety reasons, all the buildings are as strong as military fortresses, and the pirates' weapons and equipment are not as good as the militia, and half an hour may not be able to break the extremely defensive outer structure of the mining area.

"Don't worry." Captain Qi was full of confidence.

Liu Haiying left the bridge and entered the equipment cabin: "All ready, board!" "It's not a raid operation, and there's no need to buy time, and it's not a planetary operation, so there's no need to use an airborne capsule. In fact, the use of landing craft is much more than the landing capsule.

The two battle groups each entered the two landing craft, the assault ship swept at low speed over the center of the mining area, and the two landing craft quietly broke away from the battleship and flew towards the edge of the building below.

The pilot of the No. 1 boat is Ye Fei, the landing craft is sturdy and durable, and the operation is simple, Jiang Li arranged for him to be familiar with the simulator for a few days, and then directly let him go to the boat - in Jiang Li's words, driving a racing car is different.

He was under the command of Jiang Li, and the landing craft landed lightly on the left side of the building. The turret at the stern of the boat was ready for fire support, and the high-brightness searchlights illuminated the surroundings as bright as day.

Far from the sun, there is a severe lack of light, so the bright lights can illuminate the environment, and if the pirates are ambushed nearby, the strong lights can stimulate the pirates to adapt to the dark eyes and provide cover for their own side.

In order to prevent the pirate ambush, the landing craft stopped quietly for a while, and there was no movement in the building.

"There was no damage to the exterior wall and no anomalies were found." Ye Fei reports observations.

Jiang Li waved his hand, Ye Fei opened the side door knowingly, kicked hard under his assault hands, and rushed out of the boat lightly, two huge assault rifles pointed at the airtight door at the same time, and the other two team members held their guns, nervously covering the flanks.

The airtight door looked intact, but the handle on the outside had been damaged and could not be opened, Jiang Li put his helmet on the door, and knocked on the sturdy airtight door with a fist, and there was a bang.

After listening carefully and not responding, Jiang Li pressed the call button on the radio: "Two groups of two, I am a group, please answer when you hear it." Over"

"I'm in the second group, over."

"The airtight door has been broken, how are you there? Complete. ”

Before the second group could reply, Liu Haiying suddenly interjected into the call: "Repair the airtight door as soon as possible, and try not to disassemble it violently." ”

"Understood!" Jiang Li beckoned behind him: "Open it!" ”

If he could be sure that there were only pirates in the building, he wouldn't mind destroying the façade directly - once the façade was destroyed, the air would be lost in a very short period of time, and the survivors would die a painful death in a vacuum.

Ye Fei's observer, Yu Jie, ran a few steps to the door, took out his tools and began to try to repair them, but there was no movement after tinkering for a while.

Jiang Li urged impatiently, but the more he urged Yu Jie, the more nervous he became, Ye Fei grinned secretly, this kid is purely a second knife, what to do and what to eat, what is leftover, if it weren't for Ye Fei's death, I'm afraid Jiang Li would have transferred Jiang Yufei over as his observer.

Urged by Jiang Li to be anxious, Yu Jie didn't do anything, pulled out his saber and stabbed it into the crack of the door, the airtight door reluctantly opened, and Yu Jie, who was sweating profusely, let out a sigh of relief and quickly cleaned up.

Jiang Li slapped his forehead and sighed helplessly: "Artillery, you stay here, and the others alternately cover and advance!" "Sniper is a ranged profession that can't be used in a narrow space, and Ye Fei is the pilot of the landing craft, so it's best for him to stay.

Ye Fei was happy to be idle - artillery was his code name, he originally wanted to give himself a code name like assassin or killer, but he was collectively rejected by the whole team, and finally got an artillery on his head.

Seeing the group get into the airtight door, as soon as the airtight door was closed, Ye Fei slipped back to the landing craft by himself, turned on all the detection devices of the landing craft, and then got into the turret and waited quietly.

There is a battleship cruising on the head, no matter how crazy the pirates are, they dare not drive the spaceship over, and the turret on the landing craft has strong firepower, dare to come and whisker? Just practice your hands.

Ye Fei was the only one in the entire landing craft, and it wasn't good at the beginning, but after a long time, Ye Fei suddenly felt hairy in his heart.

Outside the boat, except for the desolate asteroid, it was an empty void, so quiet that it seemed to be out of the world, and since everyone entered the door, there has not been a single news, not even the radio has been cut off.

Suddenly, there was a flash of fire in the center of the building, and the flames were quickly extinguished in a vacuum, but the fragments of the explosion did not disappear, but rose into the sky.

Ye Feiteng stood up, what happened?

The explosion damaged the exterior wall of the building, and the air quickly drained away with all kinds of debris, Ye Fei hurriedly called: "Cook, cook, please answer when you hear it." "Chef is Yu Jie's code name.

There was a strange rustling sound in the earphones, and Ye Fei strengthened the signal without giving up: "Lao Bo Lao Bo, what's the situation!" "Lao Bo refers to Jiang Li, taking the homonym of the old boss.

There was still no movement, Ye Fei did not have the authority to directly contact the battleship, so he couldn't sit still anymore, grabbed his rifle and rushed out of the landing craft, pried open the airtight door and rushed in.

The airtight door slowly closed behind him, and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness, sparks flickering overhead, and I don't know what the line was broken. The data on the mask showed that the air pressure around the area was still dropping, and if you listened carefully, there was no abnormal sound...... A lot of air is lost, and the propagation of sound is becoming more and more difficult, so it's no wonder that you can hear it.

The sparks that flickered in an instant could not illuminate the environment, and the narrow environment was not suitable for using a sniper rifle, Ye Fei put the sniper rifle on his back, took off the spare submachine gun with his backhand, and turned on the tactical light with a gritted tooth.

A fairly wide passage appeared in his eyes, and he walked slowly forward with his gun, there were several dents in the wall from the shooting, and it was impossible to tell if it was a pirate, but there was nothing unusual other than that.

He looked at the radar as he walked, but until he reached the end of the hallway, the radar had not received any signal and could not confirm the location of his companion at all.

The corridor was divided into several forks, and the blood stains at the intersection were shocking, Ye Fei secretly screamed that it was not good, whether it was the blood stains of the people left behind in the mining area or the blood stains of pirates, the only thing that could be proved was that the pirates had broken into the mining area before the arrival of the warship.

The explosion just now was no accident!

Ye Fei was very anxious, carefully recalled the direction of the explosion, and chose a quick step to rush in.

The passages in the building are simple and clear, but the lighting system has failed, and Ye Fei's speed is very limited only by the tactical lights.

Ye Fei just wanted to find someone else quickly, and he didn't look forward to encountering the pirates, but he was afraid of something, and when he approached a turn, he suddenly found that there was a light in the fork!

He immediately turned off the tactical lights and leaned against the wall, and the other side turned off the lights almost at the same time. Ye Fei couldn't tell who was on the other side, so he slowly stretched out the muzzle of the gun, switched the angle of view, and synchronously received the picture captured by the scope to the monitor, and couldn't see anything clearly in the dark corridor, switching to the infrared perspective, and still found nothing.

Am I dazzled? Ye Fei couldn't hold back, and quietly pressed the communication button: "Lao Bo, Lao Bo, the artillery is calling!" "At such a close distance, no matter how strong the interference is, a little signal can be received.

There was no response on the radio, Ye Fei was in a hurry, reached out and took off the flashbang hanging on his waist and threw it into the corridor. The optical imaging system of the combat armor has a protective effect, and the system will automatically reduce the brightness of the external light beyond a certain level, protecting the operator's eyes.

Ye Fei saw the situation in the corridor clearly with the instant bloom of the flashbang.

More than a dozen tall figures in full hazmat suits were scattered along the sides of the hallway, holding various firearms, their protective suits somewhat like combat armor, but the uneven surface was covered with DIY patches of unknown function, apparently modified from civilian spacesuits.

X's, it's a pirate!

Ye Fei was originally worried that he was a survivor of the mining area, but now he didn't run away.

The pirate who exposed his whereabouts immediately lit up the corridor with color, a flash of light in the darkness, and Ye Fei realized that there were two more round things not far from his feet, which were emitting a soft milky white light.

Flares?

Ye Fei secretly screamed that it was not good, he attacked first and then suffered, he immediately pulled the trigger and filled a full magazine in one go. The dense rain of bullets immediately pierced the protective suits of several pirates, and the special bullets ruthlessly tore open the pirates' bodies, blasting out one blood hole after another, and the blood of the tent splattered in all directions.

If it is a warrior wearing combat armor, this level of attack is simply pediatric, and it is strange that it can penetrate the armor.

The pirates did not show weakness, and fought back again and again, although the rate of fire was far from being comparable to Ye Fei's submachine gun, but it was better than the number of people, and the density of the firepower was not weak, the bullets crackled on the wall, the fire flashed and ricocheted, and occasionally a few ricochets happened to collapse on Ye Fei's body, and he didn't feel the slightest pain or itch.

Let you be crazy with me, come again!

Ye Fei dragged down the grenade and threw it into the corridor...... Anyway, the exterior wall has already been blown up, so it's not bad to come back again!

The semi-enclosed space amplified the power of the grenade, shrapnel blossomed in all directions, and the density of the pirate's firepower suddenly dropped by several levels.

Dumping a magazine again, Ye Fei, who suppressed a team of enemies by himself, couldn't find half a sense of accomplishment, just these few fools, it was not enough for Lao Bo to clean up alone, he knew that he had already done it, it was better to stay on the landing craft honestly.

After fighting for a long time, the pirates had no other weapons except guns, and they didn't even throw a grenade, Ye Fei simply walked into the corridor with a sniper rifle, let the pirate's bullets hit his body, and shot again and again regardless of it, the recoil of the large-caliber sniper rifle was even so strong that Ye Fei couldn't move forward, and he could only lunge and stand in place to ensure the rate of fire.

The muzzle flickering for a short time, but enough to expose the pirate.

After spending half a magazine, Ye Fei cleared the pirates in the corridor, the effect of adrenaline gradually disappeared, and he only felt that his heart was beating faster and his breath was short, and the tension slowly subsided, and when he turned on the tactical light, he was immediately stunned by the bloody image in front of him.

Half of the corridor was almost whitewashed with blood, and the ground was full of stumps and broken arms, broken bones and internal organs, and it was impossible to distinguish which part of the messed up of tattered skin and rotten flesh belonged to.

The power of a large-caliber bullet is extremely powerful, the bullet shoots at close range, and when it hits the wall, it can blast out a shallow crater more than a finger deep and the size of a palm, and it is not surprising that it can penetrate four or five people in a row, and each of his shots can take the life of at least one pirate, and if it hits the torso, half of the body will immediately turn into a piece of flesh, and if it hits the limbs, it will immediately end up being a limb separation.

In the dim light, everything in front of you is like a legendary hell. Ye Fei's stomach was tumbling upside down, if it weren't for nothing, I was afraid that he would vomit immediately.

Did I really do it? Ye Fei, who had never even killed a chicken, asked himself again and again, even though he knew that these people were pirates who did all kinds of evil, and knew that they deserved it, a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox still permeated his heart.

It's not about good and evil.

Ye Fei turned off the tactical lights and strode through the corridor, no matter what was on his feet.

Tossing and turning to find the location of the explosion, the explosion occurred in a closed room, the roof has been completely lifted, and when you look up, you can see the bright starry sky of the battleship swimming, and the walls on all sides are only half charred and black, and you can't see what the room was doing in the first place.

However, Ye Fei didn't care about this at all, he looked around, and couldn't find any corpses or other clues at the scene, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least everyone wasn't here when it exploded.

It is close to the center of the mine's buildings, where the mine's most important facility is located, the silos!

The so-called silos have nothing to do with the silos where ICBMs are stored, and the silos in the mining area are actually low-power electromagnetic guns, which are used to load the preliminary smelted metal or ore into cylindrical containers, and then calculate the coordinates of the receiving station and shoot the containers into space and slowly fly towards the target.

Although it can take months or even years to reach the destination, it can take a long time, but the cost of transportation is almost non-existent.

In a starfield where pirates are active, a cargo ship is a deliberate attempt to attract pirates.

Generally speaking, pirates rarely attack the idea of mining areas, because after the mined minerals are sent away, the funds will be directly transferred to the investor's account, and the mining area only has worthless mining equipment in addition to smelting equipment, and the oil and water are very limited, but the defense is not weak, so it is really not worth selling.

Rather than robbing the barren mines, it is better to take the risk of robbing the main waterway, and this group of pirates wonders if the road is poor and crazy, and actually hit the idea of the mining area.

But where did everyone go? Even the radio failed.

Ye Fei jumped on the roof and looked around, but found nothing. But forget it, since the explosion had nothing to do with everyone, Ye Fei, who was relieved, was not interested in looking for it any longer, so he simply jumped on the roof and returned to the landing craft, but he suddenly found that the launch site not far away seemed to be starting.

Could it be that everyone is there? But what did they start that for?

Ye Fei hesitated for a second, kicked hard under his feet, and stepped on the roof and floated towards the launch site...... The gravitational pull of the asteroid is almost negligible, and he has a feeling that if he jumps up with all his strength, he may be able to directly break out of the gravitational range of the asteroid.

The construction of the mine is very regular, including warehouses, smelting areas and residential buildings, surrounded on all sides, and in the center is a silo covering about a third of the area.

Don't look at the fact that there are not many buildings on the ground, the underground construction area is several times that of the above! This is also the reason why the control center of the mining area is what must be built on a rocky asteroid.

Without complicated passage bindings, the leaf flies in a straight line to the edge of the silo. The protective door above the launch site has been opened, revealing layers of cryogenic superconducting coils on the inner wall of the launch silo – superconducting coils need to be more than 100 degrees below zero, and the background temperature of space can easily solve this problem.

Ye Fei approached the silo and looked down, the bottom of the well was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, and the disappointed Ye Fei was about to leave, when he suddenly saw several fires flickering frequently at the bottom of the dark well.

Who is it?

The gravitational pull of the asteroid is so weak that it can't form an atmosphere at all, and no matter how lively the fight is below, you can't even hear the slightest sound from above.

Connected to the radio, the headphones were still full of rustling interference, Ye Feixin said that a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, and said regardless of it: "Artillery call, artillery call, please answer when you hear it!" ”

After an inexplicable strange sound, the radio actively filtered the interference wave, and finally barely received a fairly clear reply: "I...... Sand...... Old wave, artilleryman, report your ...... Location. ”

"I'm on the silo, old bo, old bo, your place." Ye Fei was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect to receive the signal, it seemed that there must be a firefight between teammates and pirates.

On the silo? Jiang Li, who was in the fierce battle, was overjoyed: "Artillery artillery, I'm underground, immediately destroy the silos, immediately destroy the silos!" ”

"What?" The distraction suddenly increased, and the noise drowned out Jiang Li's reply.

Ye Feixin said that you give me a quasi-place, this is not clear, how do you know which side of the well is your own person?

The delay time of the flashbang is only three seconds, but the wellhead is at least two kilometers away from the bottom of the well, and it cannot be thrown to the bottom at all. What the fuck is going to do? Everyone was fighting and dying underneath, but he could only watch here, almost becoming an ant on a hot pot.

Jump?

It can't be broken, but if it falls directly into the middle of the battlefield, even if the pirate's weapon can't penetrate the armor, if any of his own people come to a ruthless blow, how aggrieved will he die?

Suddenly, Ye Fei had a flash of inspiration, took off the tactical lights on the submachine gun and the pistol, and threw them into the well together with the battery, the ultra-low gravity means the ultra-low gravitational acceleration, which can ensure that the falling speed of the lamp will not increase too much, so as not to break the tactical light.

Although the lights attracted the attention of some people on both sides, they were on fire, and no one had that time to spare, and it was even more fortunate that the landing point chosen by Ye Fei happened to be outside the combat zone between the two sides!

The snowy pillar of light illuminated the bottom of the well, several guys in patch suits were hiding behind the cover and shooting frequently, Ye Fei raised the sniper rifle, took a deep breath, judged the position of the pirate according to the direction of the muzzle flame, and aimed at the target condescendingly and steadily, the fire flashed, and hit the top of the pirate's head, and the powerful warhead divided the unlucky pirate into several sections.

The pirates who were defenseless against the top of their heads suddenly became a mess, Ye Fei opened fire again and again, killing six targets in a row, and the others stopped shooting and disappeared into the darkness, but disappeared without a trace, making it impossible for him to identify the target.

"Cannon...... Soldiers, sabotage ......"

Ye Fei shouted: "What ...... to destroy" Before the words fell, the superconducting coil on the wall of the well suddenly bloomed with a swaying arc, and the arc light illuminated the entire silo, and in the center of the bottom of the well, the columnar container was erected high, and it had entered the most rear-end launch procedure.

The corpses of several pirates were swept by the ultra-high voltage arc and immediately turned into flying ashes, in this case, even the combat armor could not protect the fighters inside, and no one dared to rush into the silos, otherwise they would only end up in ashes.

Jiang Li, who was red-eyed, saw that the container was about to take off, and shouted at the radio: "Ye Fei, sabotage the launch for me, sabotage the launch for me!" He didn't even bother to call the code name again.

Perhaps it was the Lord of the Underworld who heard Jiang Li's prayer, and this sentence was received with unprecedented smoothness, Ye Fei immediately replied: "Received, sabotage the launch!" ”

The container had begun to rise slowly, and the launch could no longer be stopped, Ye Fei grabbed the high-explosive magazine on the rifle and threw it aside, quickly replaced it with an armor-piercing incendiary bomb, aimed at the container and pulled the trigger.

The tungsten core armor-piercing bullet penetrated the shell of the container with unstoppable force, and the container accelerated rapidly, and after flying out of the silos, Ye Fei would empty the two magazines.

It was too late to change the magazine, and his eyes fell on the Qinghe, which had been patrolling the air, praying that the Qinghe would destroy the target.

What if the radio hadn't failed?

The arc in the silo slowly dissipated, and several figures appeared in the shaft, and then jumped all the way up the well wall like the legendary martial arts master.

It wasn't until the distance between the two sides was reduced to within twenty meters that a green point of light representing teammates appeared on the snowflake-covered radar.

Jiang Li, who jumped out of the well, spotted Ye Fei holding a sniper rifle at a glance, and sighed: "Why don't you destroy the silos?" ”

Ye Fei was stunned: "Silos? Isn't it as much as possible not to destroy property? This is the most expensive silo. ”

Jiang Li was speechless, after all, whether public or private is the property of the country, the army is not a bandit, and on the premise of ensuring the realization of the combat goal, the degree of damage must be minimized.

Everyone went up to the well and looked up at the container that was gradually merging with the starry sky with incomparably complex eyes.

The Qinghe assault ship still did not find the target, and Jiang Li clenched his fists unwillingly: "Return to the landing craft immediately......"

"Lao Bo, I didn't complete the task, why did I go back?" Ye Fei was anxious all of a sudden, "I met a group of pirates in the passage, there must be remnants of pirates here......"

"Don't ask, carry out the order!" If everyone could see Jiang Li's expression, they would find that his face was tense and his teeth were almost broken.

Yu Jie leaned over to Ye Fei and said softly, "There are at least thirty heavily armed pirates in that container. ”

"Huh?" Ye Fei was inexplicable, "What do you mean?" ”

"The container is modified by pirates," Yu Jie was a little depressed, "The launch coordinates are the No. 74 mine, I guess, they want to use the cover of the container to break through the outer defense line and directly drill into the mine to loot ......"
