Chapter 222: From a Level 5 Civilization
Gongsun Murong and Nalasha were really a little dumbfounded, it was normal for the spacecraft to receive a signal, but it was not normal for the spacecraft to receive a signal again.
The current signal ultra-long-distance resonance uses another means, which can cross the distance of space, not the speed of light, otherwise a ship flies thousands of light-years away, and if you want to send a signal back, it is better to fly back yourself.
Unless there is no way, it will send a signal that travels at the speed of light like Murong Yang and his wife.
But this method does not allow other ships or warships to make space jumps, and they can still receive it, not taking the same path.
Now that the signal has been received, Gongsun Murong and Nalasha glanced at each other, then looked at the screen, and found that they didn't know the text, so they immediately asked the system to help translate it.
The translated text was revealed, and the two were relieved.
It was indeed not a means on their side, but a text translated into the Huxunduli Empire, and it was written that an interstellar tanker called Khogusa was in urgent need of support, and they met the interstellar pirates over there, and at the end they also gave the coordinates of the interstellar tanker.
As soon as they saw the coordinates, the two people were relieved, fortunately, not nearby, the most interesting thing was that the coordinates marked were very close to the place they were going.
"No need to return the signal. Gongsun Murong said.
Nalasha agreed: "Yes, yes, in short, we have to pass, but I don't know if the interstellar tanker will leave when we arrive." ”
The two of them had serious expressions, but they amused the two captives in cultivation, and said that they didn't need to reply to the signal, and they couldn't go back if they wanted to, they didn't have that technique.
The text has already told everyone that the Hu Xunduli Empire is a fifth-level civilization, and the fifth-level civilization has some technology that cannot be mastered or obtained by the fourth-level civilization, although the level of the civilization is calculated according to the interstellar navigation ability, but as long as it has that kind of navigation ability. Other aspects of technology must be the same as those of inferior civilizations, and the ability to sail is part of the overall strength.
As the spherical ship continued to fly towards its destination, the Khogusa, which was sending a signal on the other side, had stopped, not that the people on the tanker knew that the pirates who were chasing them had been swallowed up by the energy tide, but that the tanker's power system was broken, and the spare one was also broken.
The hull of the Khogusa looked shabby, but anyone familiar with the ship knew that it had not been destroyed, and that it didn't matter where it was broken, it was new.
However, there was little damage on the outside of the Khogusa. The internal damage was great, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the interstellar pirates, they kept the ship in an overloaded state.
It's just an oil tanker, not the main battleship, and the weapons on the tanker are no problem with the main battleship, and the attack power is obviously too low to fight pirates, and it can be damaged, but it can't be destroyed. At the same time, the flight speed is even less than that of a combat ship.
So when being pursued, the tanker had to overload the power system. After many days of continuous flight, the tanker finally couldn't take it anymore and after making one last space jump, it hid behind a large rock. And get maintenance personnel up to speed.
The people on the tanker understand that this is called self-deception, does it mean that pirates will not be able to see when they hide behind rocks? No joke, pirates don't need to see with their eyes. With a single scan, you can instantly see where the tanker is.
"Mom, I don't want to be caught by pirates, I'm going home. I went back to my own house and played with the animals. The adults on the tanker are anxious, and the children are crying and making trouble, which makes people feel irritable when they hear it, but the status of the people on the tanker is not low, and they are still holding the shelves and maintaining their own image.
Listening to the crying of children, I can only ask the service staff on the tanker to try to comfort them, such as bringing toys or snacks.
The captain of the Hogusa tanker, Lun Poge, was the most anxious, he knew who the people on his tanker were, all of them were upper-class figures of the Hu Xunduli Empire. Among those tens of thousands of people, any one of them is a storage with at least a small galaxy.
The choice to hold tours and gatherings aboard the Khogusa for this tour and party is due to the fact that the Khogusa has just been expanded and renovated with new defenses and power systems.
But it is precisely because of this that the upper-level people who have relaxed their minds have lost their due vigilance and have to go to the Lauderlauren Star Field, because there is a planet where wild adventures and hunting can be carried out, and it is evaluated as the most comprehensive adventure place.
And the Lauderlauren star field has another name, that is, the pirate star field, many pirates will hide in the lauderlauren star field, because this star field has a complex environment, there are turbulent rock flows, meteorite belts, unknown one-way space nodes, black hole groups, and nebula clusters.
It is impossible to encircle and suppress pirates in the Lauderlauren Domain. There were fewer troops sent, not enough for the interstellar pirates to fight, and more were sent, and the interstellar pirates hid directly.
Over the years, Lauderlauren's Starfield has been a pirate's paradise.
The reason why the upper class dared to go over was because they usually did not attack the interstellar tankers, but specialized in providing services to the interstellar tankers that traveled from outside, and charged high fees, so as to use other identities to buy things in normal society.
Usually this is the case, but there are also accidents, such as when a very powerful researcher goes on a trip, and without thinking about it, he will definitely be caught by the interstellar pirates and then conduct research for them.
Interstellar pirates also need to build ships and warships, as well as places to grow and breed.
There are also cases where someone specially takes out money for the pirates to help eliminate someone, even if this person does not enter the pirate star field, the pirates will assassinate them, not to mention that they have taken the initiative to send them to the door.
The third situation that will be attacked is that there are special intelligence officers on the tanker, who are responsible for collecting information about pirates, and then send troops to attack, even if they can't defeat all the pirates, but defeating one is a good harvest, even if it causes the loss of this group of pirates, you can also get a reward.
Captain Lun Poge has not known the reason why his oil tanker was attacked until now, when he was attacked, he successfully ran away with the oil tanker, and ran until now, at this moment he looked at every passenger on the oil tanker and felt that the other party was a spy, and specially followed the oil tanker to the pirate's den to collect intelligence.
As for whether someone else was going to kill someone on the tanker, he couldn't guess.
He felt that every passenger on the tanker seemed to be in danger of being killed by pirates who had been hired at great expense.
For example, political opponents have made a move, for example, there is competition between the same industry, for example, a family that has been bullied before has saved enough money for revenge, or even relatives in the family who have a status rivalry kill each other.
"Convey my order, the power system must be repaired as much as possible, and I will reward the maintenance personnel with a thousand times the usual salary. Brother Lun Po commanded to his deputy.
He actually knows that even if he doesn't mention the money, the maintenance personnel will still work hard, which involves life and death, but he still wants to give the maintenance personnel some material encouragement.
Not only the maintenance personnel, but also all the service personnel on the tanker, he has to give, and his purpose is naturally to get out of danger by luck, regardless of the amount of money that those people in the upper class of society ask for. This time, the oil tanker was dispatched, and the money earned could not pay a thousand times the salary of the people on board, and he offered to believe that the powerful people would also raise the price, even if he asked them for the same thousand times the fare, they would pay.
In this way, he earned more, even if the price given by those people was a hundred times that of the original, after deducting the salaries of the crew, he could still get dozens of times the original income.
The first mate understood what the captain meant, and shouted directly from the horn on the tanker to inform the crew of the news, which was actually for the passengers.
The gentlemen and ladies on the oil tanker, while looking forward to the maintenance personnel repairing the ship quickly, secretly felt distressed, they had money, but they didn't spend it like that.
Don't look at them as upper-class people in society, the normal expenses are not much, and the more people like them, the lower the prices given by various high-end restaurants and hotels.
For example, a dish in a restaurant costs 300 credits, which is the price they eat, in a high-end restaurant. But many times the same dish in a mid-range restaurant, and the chef who makes the zuò is not as good as the high-end restaurant, but the asking price reaches 1,000 credits.
This is because many people who are not high-status think that this dish is high-end, so they spend money to save face, but for them, it is not, and they consider the rarity and additional cost of this dish, which is not good if it is high.
This is how they live, and if they have money, they also make investments, so it seems that they need to speak up now.
So one by one they offered to reward the tankers, and they were willing to give as many credits as they wanted, the amount was exactly about a hundred times the ticket, and they would not give a thousand times, they were shrewd, they knew how much money the captain would make, and how much the crew could get.
At the same time, not to mention raising the fare, so that when you take a tanker in the future, others will ask for more money. Reward, on the other hand, is a kind of recognition and charity from the superior to the inferior.
Lun Poge had people record it, waiting to ask them for it when he returned, and then dreamed about money, praying that the pirates would not come before the tanker had repaired its power system, and that it would be better never to come.
He knew where he was now, but he didn't expect to run to the territory of the fourth-level civilization galaxy civilization, before he saw a space node, and then drilled in, but he ran so far away all of a sudden, after sending distress signals non-stop, he hoped that the galaxy civilization could have a huge fleet to come and support.
In his heart, the fourth-level civilization is backward, and he can't beat the fifth-level civilization, he can only use the quantity to pile up, he doesn't expect the galactic civilization to help him defeat the pirates, as long as he can delay until the tanker's east and west system is repaired, he will be content. As for the price paid by the galactic civilization...... Isn't it proud to sacrifice for the upper-class social figures of the fifth-level civilization?
While the tanker was being repaired, the two pirate warships were also working hard to repair, and they still had a task to do, even if there was only one intact and one broken warship left, they had to keep an eye on the tanker and give guidance to the other pirate groups behind them.
