Chapter 171: "Science and War Are Unscrupulous" (1)
Mobius meeting point, a week later.
With a burst of white flashes, Yang Yi's five warships successively broke away from the folding space and arrived at the intended rendezvous site.
Looking at the vast void in front of him, Yang Yi, who was originally standing in front of the communication screen, suddenly lost interest, sat back on the chair, picked up the teaching materials next to him and covered his face, and then gestured to the A1 who was concentrating on controlling the hull on the other side: "When Renault and they arrive, call me, I'll sleep again." ”
"Commander, you might as well take advantage of this time to read a book." A1 waved his hand helplessly. The textbook covering his face floated in response, and then suddenly, as if it had lost its support, it slammed into his face.
He took the book off his face, looked impatiently removed from the backrest, spread it out on the table, and flipped through it. Soon, the soothing thing thing from Shantila calmed his irritable mood gradually. Aside from the occasional time when she drinks with Black Rose, Santila isolates him from Kara, most of the time she keeps an eye on his emotions. After all, unlike the Templars, he has no professional training, and it is difficult for him to control his emotions in a stable state, and his own status in Kara is relatively high, if his emotions go wrong, it is easy to cause Kara's instability or even loss of control, so he also has to be monitored by Shantila at all times to ensure the safety of himself and Kara.
“…… Commander, there's an email from the Rangers informing us that our mission has been postponed and that we need to rush to Haven first...... An uninhabited planet located near the Astral Territory. ”
"Haven?" Hearing the name, he stood up suddenly, and A1 on the screen of the communication station in front of him also transmitted the content of the email to it. There isn't much content, which probably means that they should arrive at Haven as soon as possible, and it should be that something happened to Haven.
"Let me guess, something must have happened when I was fighting the Star Spirit? Celerantis shouldn't have a dead hand, right? ”
He remembered that according to the canonical history, Renault should have chosen the left, that is, the doctor of Agrea, to help the doctor fight the star spirit and prevent Celerantis from burning the glass. What's wrong with that? Can't beat the purifier?
"If you can't beat it, how can I beat it......" Yang Yi rubbed his temples that began to beat a little, "Since the boss said it, it is impossible for us to refuse, but the money must be more important." Set the voyage, synchronize the coordinates, and go to Haiwen to have a look. ”
"Yes."
Several ships at the Möbius assembly point waited for a short time before turning their heads again and turning towards the new coordinates attached to the email.
Haven, an hour later.
At the moment when the battleship jumped into the Haiwen Star Domain, the A1 hull shook extremely violently, as if the hull had been hit by a powerful attack, almost shaking Yang Yi to the ground in his seat.
As the bridge armor was slowly opened, Yang Yi realized that it was an out-of-control battleship that crashed into the direction they had jumped into. If it weren't for the shield, it would probably be enough to buke them this time.
"What's going on?!"
It stands to reason that their hop coordinates should be at the edge of the Haven Star Field, and even if there is a battle, there are almost no places where the battle will occur. Why did it get off to a good start as soon as it came out?
The ships that jumped in after A1 didn't get such a "warm" welcome, but they all immediately entered a combat readiness - in front of them was an extremely large-scale naval battle: human battle cruisers, Astral Aircraft Carriers and Madonnas, and even the Alien Leviathan, shuttling back and forth in the star field of Haven and exchanging fire.
“??? What's going on here?! As soon as he shouted this, the hull of the ship shook violently again, forcing him to hold on to the edge of the communication station with both hands.
"Commander, we are under attack! It's a Star Spirit's Void Glow ship, and they're firing at us! ”
"Close the bridge armor, inform Black Rose and A6 to set up a defensive formation, Hydra protects Shantila to retreat and withdraw from the frontal battlefield, Behemoth will release a swarm to me to harass all ships that dare to attack, and give us a formation to buy time...... Also, contact that old bastard of Renault right away, I want to know what's going on here! ”
Just half a month ago, while the Hyperion was resting in the Harbor of the Dead, Dr. Ariel Hansen, who had been rescued from Agria on board, informed the Rangers that she had not received regular communications from Meinhof this month. Hopefully they'll help to see what's going on.
This female doctor is also a celebrity on the ship, on the one hand, she is better than the half-Stademan in terms of intelligence and talent - but they still don't know that this "half-hanger" is the drug addict who will create a real three-race hybrid in the future - on the other hand, this doctor embodies an indescribable arrogance among them civilian bosses. Maybe that's not right, because she doesn't usually behave so arrogantly in dealing with people, but her words will inevitably appear in her words that make people feel arrogant.
As a result, the people respected this female doctor who cared for the people under her rule, but likewise had little contact with her. The doctor was also largely confined to the ship's laboratory for most of his personal leave, and was sometimes even kicked out by Stetelman. During this time, they could often see Stetelman, who had been staying in the lab and not going out, drinking at the bar.
Since the doctor who was appointed as Renault's female ticket has spoken, and besides, if you go to take a look, everyone will naturally not say anything. After a few days of recuperation in the Port of the Dead, the Hyperion set sail for Haven again. It's just that this time it involves the "Imperial Rebels" led by Hansen, so they didn't choose to call the Imperial Fleet to go with them.
The last time I came to this place, it was to transfer the Imperial refugees who ran away from Meinhof. This time, they had to come here again as saviors. Upon their arrival at Haven, they noticed the unusually dark surface of Haven's surface, as well as the colony station, which seemed to have ceased to function.
The ship slowly approached the space station, which was still floating in orbit but with dim lights and never communicated to them, and Renault sent a commando team to land and search, only to be attacked by insects. Not only were the commandos wiped out, but even the transport ships transporting them were destroyed by the swarm. Several stinging snakes even took to the tarmac to output to the approaching Hyperion.
After a brief discussion, Reynaud decides to lead the team with Tykes himself—a certain Waste Commander: Don't—and on the other hand, he asks Matt to take command of the rest of the troops, liaise with the ground, and send a landing force to the surface to find out the ground conditions.
