Chapter 61: Crossing Death

Yun Yi sat in front of the table in the room, staring at the black box on the table, but from time to time he remembered some of the things Robert had told him.

After a long time, he sighed and stopped thinking about himself.

History is always written by someone else, and who really knows what happened at that time.

The small box he had found in the ruins, the surface was uneven from cosmic rays, but fortunately it was in a heavy metal cabinet at the time, so it was not completely corroded.

Robert told him that this is the prototype of today's light brain, which was called a laptop computer by ancient people, although the structure is simple, but it already has a lot of light brain functions, but the ability is very weak.

Although it is no longer usable, Yunyi still took it back and used it as a historical souvenir.

After the Highbury family explored this ruin, they also found some things that belonged to the ancient people, but whether there is any value in research still needs to be carefully analyzed.

After staying here for two hours, the fleet set out on its journey again.

After three days, the density of broken stars was getting higher and higher. The speed of the shelling has increased from one fire every few dozen minutes at the beginning to one fire every three or four minutes. But for the time being, it's not very dangerous. Hank and the others only had 20 warships, and when they came here, there were no problems. However, while eating dinner, Hank said with a stern expression that if nothing else, after advancing for more than twenty hours, he would enter the dense zone. And that was the real danger place, when their twenty warships were constantly bombarded with their main guns, and with the assistance of mechs and fighters, they couldn't remove all the broken stars in the channel.

Although they took the same route as Hank, it was clear that the Highbury family's luck was much better than that fleet. On the second day of entering the shattered star belt, the electronic reconnaissance ship in charge of reconnaissance and exploration found a compressed Orc core with no low reserves in a distant shattered star. After this kind of rock core is precisely refined, it can obtain the very valuable Oak Essence Stone, which is a necessity for the manufacture of ultra-long-distance signal transmitters, and the purchase price announced by the Chu and Tang Empires is more than 40,000 yuan per gram. According to Hank's estimates, the compressed Orcite core contained in this shattered star is enough to refine millions worth of Orcite.

The process of collecting is not complicated, first bombarding the shattered star with the main guns of the battleship, removing most of the useless rocks, and then dragging back the part containing the minerals, dividing it and loading it into the transport, and then refining it after returning.

And just yesterday, the fleet once again discovered a rare mineral of high value.

These two revenues alone will be sufficient to cover the energy consumption and personnel costs of the operation. The Death Shatter Belt is indeed a good place to make money. It's just that the danger here is a little too high.

Two days later, the shattered stars floating in space were extremely dense. The main guns of the 20 large ships at the front of the line are fully opened 23 hours a day, ready to fire at any time. Although there was an hour of maintenance left, it was already much more than the load on the main gun. Tian Ning, who was in charge of the main guns, told everyone with regret that the main guns of the twenty battleships, even if they were not scrapped, would not take long after completing this mission.

The main guns of the battleship, each of which is worth more than 100,000 yuan, and 20 main guns are more than 3 million, not to mention being ready for a long time, and the energy consumption in it is also a large number.

This made Yun Yi and the others deeply shocked by the financial resources and courage of the Highbury family.

On the seventh day of the Shattered Star Belt, the situation has become a bit grim. Under the command and command of the flagship "Highbury Jasmine", in order to reduce the contact surface with the shattered star belt, the fleet collectively moved closer to the flagship, and the entire fleet contracted. As a result, the frontal contact with the Shattered Star was reduced by a third, allowing the twenty ships in front to shoot more effectively.

It's just that in this way, the distance between the ships becomes extremely narrow. Fortunately, the officer in charge of coordinating the spacecraft on the flagship was very capable, and there were no problems in such a narrow gap, which made Yun Yi admire this.

"The mechs are starting to move." Hank has been paying attention to the battle situation ahead, and his words at this time immediately attracted everyone's attention.

On the screen, countless mechs flew out of the large battleship. Yun Yi quickly noticed that the mechs were flying out, not catapulted. In the places where the battleship did not attack, there are countless broken stars, and if the ejected mecha does not adjust its direction in time, it is very likely to collide with the broken star.

For safety, the mechs flew out of the battleship on their own. Soon, the mechs were fixed to the hull and began to install something on the hull.

"Large-caliber shipborne snipers?" Yun Yi asked suspiciously. This kind of weapon, he has only seen the patterns and introductions on the Internet, and has not really seen it. After receiving the affirmation from Hilton, Yun Yi's eyes immediately lit up.

THIS KIND OF SNIPER GUN, WHICH DOES NOT USE MECHA ENERGY AND DIRECTLY USES THE ENERGY OF THE BATTLESHIP, HAS A CALIBER OF 100MM, WHICH FAR EXCEEDS THE CALIBER OF THE BATTLESHIP'S SECONDARY GUN. After the powerful energy is injected into the sniper cannon from the hull, under the precise control of the mecha, although it cannot be compared with the main gun of the battleship, its ultra-long range and good power make it the main means of long-range attack of the shipborne mecha.

With the assistance of the mechfighters, the pressure on the battleship's main guns was immediately relieved. Taking advantage of the fact that it had not yet entered the densest area, the flagship ordered the main guns of each battleship to attack in turn, so that some of the main guns could spare time for maintenance. It's not that the Highbury family is reluctant to use these main guns, they are afraid that if they don't complete the task and leave the Shattered Star Belt, these main guns will be scrapped and unusable, and it will be terrible at that time.

By the ninth day, the situation had become very encouraging.

The planetary fragments that appeared in the passage not only became extremely large, but also very fast. Usually a broken star flies in, and after the main artillery bombardment, it shatters into several pieces. But the size of these fragments can still cause damage to the battleship, and it can only be bombarded again by the mecha with the ship's guns. Although the fighter plane was also released, it could only surround the battleship at the front, and did not dare to leave the battleship too far. Their role is only to destroy some fragments that have not had time to be knocked out by the mech.

But even if there is a firepower network composed of main guns, sniper guns, fighters and secondary guns of battleships, it will not be able to intercept all these broken stars. Of course, the larger Shatter Stars, which were large enough to deal a devastating blow to the battleship, would be destroyed, and those that slipped through the net were all small rocks no more than half a meter in diameter.

It's just that, in high-speed flight, this rock has also turned into a powerful cannonball. If it hits the ship, it will immediately appear in the hull and cause a depression. Although it is not enough to penetrate the hull of the battleship, if the number reaches a limit, it is possible to attack the weak points of the battleship.

"This is it!"

Just as Yun Yi and the others were engrossed in watching the battle situation in front of them, watching the rocks crash into the battleship, everyone's hearts were trembling. Suddenly, Hank, who was carefully calculating his position in front of the light brain, shouted.

"What?" Everyone turned around and asked suspiciously.

"According to our direction, at the current speed, about two hours or so, we can reach the planet NW-AL0083!" Hank shouted excitedly. With that, he immediately ran to the communication system and told the flagship's command about the situation.

"Oh my God! What is that? ”

While Hank was contacting the flagship headquarters, one of the crew members suddenly looked at the screen and exclaimed. According to the regulations on the battleship, loud noises are strictly forbidden in the command room, but Yun Yi and the others have special identities, and they are all high-level martial artists, so they are naturally not subject to this constraint. But the shouting of an ordinary crew member immediately made Brown's gaze at him unkind.

"Whatever you find, you have violated the discipline on the battleship, and I will punish you as you deserve." After Brown finished speaking coldly, he switched the light brain screen to the light brain of the crew, and everything that appeared on the screen immediately made Brown gasp and scold: "What the hell are those girls on the electronic reconnaissance ship doing!" ”

The flow of the fragmented belt is generally in one direction. But there are also very few times when there is some turbulence, just like the flowing water in a river. And now the screen shows that directly above the fleet, a not-so-small fragmented star turbulence is rushing towards the fleet......

PS: Congratulations on the successful launch of Chang'e-2~~~ I really want to go to space
