Chapter 36: Chicken Run
Qi Yiming drove the traffic boat and deliberately flew around the area where the two warships exchanged fire.
He wasn't worried about accidental damage, as the two ships in duel mode would actively avoid friendly forces before firing their guns.
Although Qi Yiming is only piloting a traffic boat, he is still considered a friendly force in the friend or foe identification system.
Qi Yiming did this just so that the surrounding people who eat melons could watch this specially arranged performance for them with more interest.
The effect was not bad, and the people who ate melons watched Qi Yiming's small traffic boat shuttle between the bursting laser beams emitted by the two warships, and they actually forgot to comment for a while.
A few minutes later, under the nervous gaze of everyone, Qi Yiming drove the traffic boat to the side of the Redemption.
He first circled around the Redemption to give the crowd the illusion of looking for an entrance.
"Why didn't the battleship's secondary guns attack the transport boat?" Someone in the temporary channel asked in surprise.
"Don't you see the secondary artillery busy attacking the enemy? How much of a threat can a transport boat have, and if you kill the warship that releases it, the people on the transport boat will naturally become a meal on the plate. A captain who looked like a big guy explained in a tone of teaching his subordinates.
Everyone nodded frequently, thinking that this should be the reason.
"What does that transport boat seem to have found?" Someone suddenly shouted in dismay.
I saw Qi Yiming driving the traffic boat and landing between the two secondary artillery mounts, just blocking everyone's observation perspective.
"What will be between the two secondary guns? Whose battleship opened the door in that place? Someone in the communication channel said dismissively.
The location where Qi Yiming docked was indeed not the hatch of the Salvation, but an emergency escape hatch.
Under normal circumstances, the emergency escape hatch will not be opened, but Qi Yiming took a trick.
He sent the Salvation a code for a mechanical failure of the transport boat and requested an emergency stop.
So the Redemption opened the emergency escape hatch closest to Qi Yiming.
Qi Yiming climbed into the Redemption with the energy block from the escape hatch.
As Qi Yiming appeared inside the ship, the Redemption woke up the lighting equipment.
The lights were lit up around him, and the first thing Qi Yiming saw was the corpses of several former Federation officers.
Qi Yiming didn't know what happened in the ship back then, and it stands to reason that the energy block in the warehouse of the Salvation was the most reserved.
I will never be drifting in the universe forever.
Qi Yiming tried to get the shipboard brain to increase his authority.
Sure enough, it was another empty battleship, except, of course, the corpses lying on the ground.
Eventually, he succeeded in gaining supreme control over the Redemption.
Qi Yiming quickly walked to the power room, replaced the energy block he brought for the Salvation, and placed the other block in the power room where the energy block was to be replaced.
In this way, the Redemption will have two energy blocks available for a short period of time.
Then Qi Yiming did not delay much on the ship, and climbed back to the traffic boat from the escape hatch again.
The whole process took less than five minutes, and it did not arouse the suspicion of the captains on the periphery.
There were even people who ridiculed Qi Yiming for being a fool in the temporary communication channel, and he could find something next to the gun mount of the secondary gun.
Then in the midst of everyone's ridicule, Qi Yiming drove the traffic boat back to the Snow Peak.
Now comes the main event.
Qi Yiming returned to the bridge of the Xuefeng and took over the command as soon as possible, and gave the order to start the engine to the Salvation through the ship's intelligent brain.
"My grass, how did the engine of that battleship ignite?" The captain who spotted the Redemption starting engine shouted in the makeshift communication channel.
Who knows that to make these captains even more surprising, it is still to come.
Qi Yiming forcibly let the Redemption bypass the friend or foe identification system, increased the attack intensity of the main gun, and fired a shot at the position of the stern warehouse of the Xuefeng.
Before Qi Yiming left the Xuefeng, he ordered the crew to move out all the important materials in the warehouse, and lowered the airlock, and no one was allowed to enter the warehouse.
All of this was calculated by one of them, and the armor of the Snowpeak was penetrated.
Some of the unimportant materials left in the warehouse flew out like scattered flowers along the breach in the hull.
That scene made the onlookers mistakenly believe that the Snow Peak had suffered a heavy blow.
Then they saw the Snow Peak turn around and flee from the Redemption at high speed.
But the problem is that the engines of the Salvation have already started, and they are closely following the Snow Peak.
The onlookers were stupid, when had they ever seen such a situation.
Most of the captains here have been in the K-332 system for more than half a year, and have never seen the Redemption move its position.
This sudden move is a bit difficult for them to accept.
I don't know who yelled in the channel: "I'm grass, why are you coming to me......"
Before the words fell, I saw that the Redemption killed a battleship in the onlookers with a single shot.
Don't forget that although the Redemption is in a duel with the Snowpeak, she is also on a vigilant mission.
As long as it is a non-friendly ship that comes within range of her main guns, the Redemption will still attack.
The other captains were stunned for a moment, and it took a while to react, cursing frantically in their mouths, while quickly ordering their respective ships to move their positions and stay out of the range of the Redemption's main guns as much as possible.
How could Qi Yiming let these people succeed, his purpose was to mess up the scene, and the more chaotic the better.
So Qi Yiming ordered the navigator to fly the Xuefeng to the densest place of the battleship.
The scene that was originally chaotic because of the sudden change of location of the Redemption was even more chaotic at the moment because of Qi Yiming's commotion.
The temporary communication channels were all boiling, and scolding came and went.
"Your uncle...... What are you chasing after me all the time? The captain known as Xiao Qi whimpered.
Qi Yiming, who didn't have a temporary communication channel, couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
When the Redemption crossed Xiao Qi's destroyer, 16 secondary guns opened fire at the same time, and the unsuspecting destroyer was instantly pierced through the hull by the blasting laser, and a violent explosion occurred from the inside.
Fortunately, Sister Pao was calm and managed to pull Qi Yiming into the temporary communication channel.
"What did you little bastard do to let your warships chase you and fight?" Sister Pao split her head and covered her face at the moment Qi Yiming entered the channel, which was a question.
Qi Yiming said innocently: "I don't know, I just drove the traffic boat around him." ”
"Then what did you stop behind the secondary cannon just now?"
"I just want to see if there is a hatch behind the secondary cannon......" Qi Yiming looked innocently at the cannon sister in the communicator with his watery little eyes.
Anyway, Qi Yiming made up his mind, and he didn't know if he asked.
Others are on the Snow Peak, even if it is said that no one will believe that the Salvation is faithfully carrying out Qi Yiming's orders at this moment.
"I'm Nima, don't come to me...... If you come back, I'll lock on and fire......" An unlucky guy randomly selected by Qi Yiming was angry and powerlessly threatened Qi Yiming in the temporary communication channel.
Qi Yiming's face was covered with sweat, and he couldn't stop apologizing to the man: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've borrowed it!" ”
In fact, he was already happy in his heart, and in order to make his acting more realistic, Qi Yiming even asked Hao Chenqi to spray a mouthful of water on his face.
Without any accidents, the battleship that was forcibly borrowed by Qi Yiming was sunk by the Salvation in an instant, a frigate was just a cargo, and Qi Yiming was not surprised.
