Him and their stars.

Chapter 266 What Does Black Moon Have To Do With Me

According to Feifei, she took a boat to the outermost planetary orbit of the Luna galaxy to photograph the wonders of the distant nebula.

"Didn't the Alliance Academy of Sciences have a prediction? The red giant star F878 will completely devour the dwarf star K776 next to it in a thousand years. Now, they have begun to merge. Such an astronomical landscape is quite rare, but it must not Miss it." Feifei said.

This is also very understandable.As a special correspondent for the military newspaper, she really has the final say on what kind of materials to collect.

So, Feifei went to a small monitoring station in the outer orbit of the Luna galaxy.That is also a military facility belonging to the Far Coast Defense Fleet.Its publicity is a semi-automated scientific space station that collects astronomical information from distant nebulae, but at the same time it also shoulders the monitoring function of the national defense border—however, considering that smugglers and pirates often swagger through the Luna galaxy, this function It is debatable.

In addition, there are some secret communication channel terminals on the space station that cannot be monitored by outsiders, which can carry out intelligence gathering.

"Then, I received a signal from the captain of a smuggling ship and got some subtle news." Feifei said.

"Wait...why did you hook up with the captain of the smuggling boat?" Yu Lian couldn't help but ask.

"Well, doesn't Yu'er know? A reporter like me, who has the status of a military officer, actually still needs to receive a salary from the Military Intelligence Bureau! We are actually semi-public spies, and this is also a convention of the international community."

...it seems to be the case.Yu Lian's expression suddenly became a little stiff.

"Don't worry. Espionage is indeed dangerous, but half-spies like us who have an open identity are quite safe, at least as safe as diplomats."

To put it bluntly, both diplomats and political and economic reporters stationed abroad actually have the duty of intelligence collection.This is also an unspoken rule in the diplomatic arena.

"In addition, black (meow) people with a little bit of power and prestige must have official backgrounds. Some are informants, and some are directly black gloves of a certain country. This is also international common sense!"

This is not absolute!There are still many free people who are as carefree as this hero in his previous life, although the last days are not very easy.It is commonplace to be wanted by all countries.

"In short, that Mr. Captain is indeed an informant of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Although my main job is as a reporter for the Propaganda Department, after all, I also took a job in the Intelligence Bureau and received a subsidy. I can't ignore it.

Of course, this is what Feifei said, and she did show up at the small observation station and took a lot of photos.Well-organized, logical and complete, with all witnesses and material evidence, it is particularly convincing when you listen to it.

But in fact, after the unexpected encounter, after confirming that the unidentified man had completely lost his life response, Feifei, who was transformed into the Earl of Black Moon, continued to ride on the road according to the original plan. The famous smuggling ship, the Wannian Eagle, headed towards the Far Shore Nebula.

We all know that the Far Shore Nebula has only two stable transition routes, namely the Lucknar Corridor and Earl Star Gorge.This does not mean that they are the only paths that must be passed, but it can only mean that they are the safest, most stable, most efficient, and shortest navigation time super-beam channels.

But in fact, in the distant nebula full of supergiant stars, variable light stars and dwarf stars, which is as unpredictable as the sea in a storm, there are still some unstable ones, which are not recorded in the "official database" of the route.

Otherwise, how did so many smugglers and pirates get here every year?You know, the community's far-shore defense fleet has blocked those two waterways.

But in fact, red giants, variable light stars and dwarfs are also stars, and of course there are gravity wells.Although it is not stable, although the course will always deviate, although it cannot meet the huge mass of man-made objects, it does exist.

In addition, in this colorful and dreamlike uninhabited nebula, it is said that there are indeed some young and middle-aged stars, just like isolated islands scattered in a large ocean of turbulent conditions.Although I haven't heard of any naturally habitable planets, in this era of the universe, as long as there are stars, as long as they are indeed in stable young and middle-aged galaxies, some semi-fixed strongholds can be established.

All in all, there is indeed a "long-historic" waterway in the far shore nebula, which is already a consensus on the road.Although it can't pass the big fleet, it's enough for smuggling or fleeing.

It's just that these dangers are connected to the waterway of the road to freedom. Of course, the court eagle dogs raised by their masters don't know it. Only experienced "free people" who have lived in the universe all their lives can know and control them.

At least, that's what most people on the road firmly believe.

In this way, the Wannian Eagle passed through the warning net set up by the Far Coast Defense Fleet, and entered this gorgeous but deep and magnificent nebula.

Captain Hanford is a very professional person. What the famous Earl of Black Moon wants to do or who he wants to trade with has nothing to do with him.

But even so, when they really passed through the dangerous area and arrived at the trading place - an unknown adult star system trembling in a large group of supergiant star clusters - the well-informed Mr. Captain He was also taken aback, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to stroke his gorgeous and smooth long beard.

"You actually have connections with these people!" He said to Earl Black Moon in surprise.

"You should also have some relationship with them, right?" Earl Black Moon laughed.

"I did a few transactions before." Captain Hanford had almost returned to normal, and still said with a sighing expression: "But, I really never thought that a person like you would have contact with them! "

The ship to be traded was of the same size and tonnage as the Wannian Eagle. It was painted in black and gray, like a square geometric body with sharp edges and corners.The front of the ship has three full gun ports, which smells like a fly rack cannon.

In short, the overall appearance of this ship is an overly rough and tough style, and it looks like a battleship at first glance.

The battleship doesn't matter, but with a broken bloody hand hanging on the side of the battleship, that's a big problem.

That is the sign of predators, those galactic nomads who have been wandering all over the universe based on the galactic center, are also regarded by the Galactic Civilization Council as the targets of the public enemies of the entire galaxy.

Of course, it was said to be a race, but Captain Hanford knew that the marauders were a loose organization formed by clan and tribal alliances, and they couldn't even be called a country.They are not a unified race, both in appearance and ecological structure are very different.It was originally composed of thirteen intelligent races, but their origins, inheritance, and even the location of their home planet and hometown have all been buried in the vast history of universe development.

The major civilized regimes in the galaxy only know that these brutal and tyrannical races are enemies, plunderers of wealth and life, and destroyers of civilization and order, nothing more.

In addition, as the long history of galactic civilization rolls on, the composition of the predators is also constantly increasing and decreasing.

Criminals who have nowhere to go, deserters who are defeated and dare not bear the military law, scholars who cannot find opportunities for development, children of powerful and powerful who have lost everything in political struggles, and even extraordinary people who are against the system, all of the above are the source of the predators' self-strengthening .

This time, the ones who traded with Earl Black Moon were the earliest thirteen races of the predators, a race called the Eeros.This is also a humanoid race that walks independently, but its body is quite strong.It has a maroon-like sandstone skin, red eyes as big as copper bells, a sunken nose arch, flared helixes, overhanging upper and lower jaws, and sharp predator-like fangs. It is quite ferocious at first glance.

They are also really brutal.These creatures that look like hungry ghosts in human legends do have the fighting power of hungry ghosts.Whether it's sailing, firing, shooting or slashing people, they are all good players. They are the most capable fighting race among the predators. They are better than the so-called fighting race that the Kaitai boast. up.

There were two Arrows who were handed over to the Earl of the Black Moon on the Ten Thousand Years Eagle. They both had the fierce appearance and temperament like red-skinned hungry ghosts, but they were quite polite.

"This is the cargo for this time." The count led the two into the cargo hold: "You can open the box and check it now."

"Your reputation has already spread throughout the galaxy, so we don't need to do anything extra." An Elero said with a smile: "Before we came, the transaction money has already been sent to the anonymous account you designated, Libra Bank."

"The transaction was successful!" Earl Black Moon nodded.

"Yes, the cooperation is very pleasant." Another Ello said.

Even on the road, there are few such clean deals!Captain Hanford, who was eating melons, was a little moved, thinking that if the transactions in the whole universe were so straightforward, the world would be much clearer.

At this time, the Airo man said again: "Also, we found an imperial cruiser on the way here."

Earl Heiyue suppressed the astonishment in his heart quickly, and nodded noncommittally.

"The other party didn't find us! But we can be sure that it is a newly launched Clear Sky class, and it has enhanced detection equipment. It should be a V-shaped deep space probe just developed by the Empire."

The melon-eating Captain Hanford really wanted to ask the Eero people how they could determine the type of ship and the latest equipment on it, but this should be a commercial secret of the predators, so he refrained from saying it in the end.

"Its transition direction is unknown, but..." The other party didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was very clear. There were only communities and the empire's sphere of influence on both sides of the Far Shore Nebula.

"This is equivalent to adding to your head." The ferocious Eero man, who was as fierce as a hungry ghost, squeezed out a friendly smile like a businessman on his face: "For us, what is better than the far shore?" What is a better trading place for Xingyun? I really hope that the status quo can be maintained here."

After the transaction was completed, Earl Black Moon bid farewell to the Marauder, and at the same time bid farewell to Captain Hanford of the Thousand Year Falcon.But before leaving, she borrowed the terminal on the ship and sent a message to the deep space detection station in the Luna galaxy.

Mr. Captain did not stop the whole process, but only asked afterwards: "After finishing this order, can I pass the news here to the Alliance Government or the Guerrilla Association?"

Captain Hanford also has the status of an informant for the Union intelligence agency, but this is not unexpected.

Because this information was sent to the Earl of Black Moon by the Eero people, so he still knows to ask, what a fastidious person!
"The empire has obtained new special equipment, and is conducting secret detection of the far-shore nebula. This can be said. As for the deal between me and the Eleros, it does not exist."

The captain nodded.Although he is a smuggler, he is also a moral, well-behaved, well-reputed, loyal man, otherwise he wouldn't be so famous.

The above is the transaction process of Earl Black Moon this time.Except for the unexplained fight with the unknown monster I met at the beginning, everything went very smoothly.

Of course, this is all the story of the legendary rogue Earl Black Moon, what does it have to do with the community navy lieutenant, Miss Fina C. Lee?
She just fulfilled the duties of a military reporter and extra-staff intelligence officer, and passed on the information she got to Captain Yu Lian, the special commissioner of the Central Committee.

"That is to say, there are imperial warships appearing in the far shore nebula?" Yu Lian, the commissioner of the Central Committee, nodded thoughtfully, touched his pocket, but found no lollipop, so he stuffed another beloved old knife, and the result It was directly snatched off by Feifei and crushed.

"Fish, you don't seem to be surprised at all."

What I'm waiting for is the ship of the empire, but this kind of thing is really hard to say.Yu Lian thought.

"...I was just thinking that there is a smuggling channel in the far shore nebula. It is not surprising that there are warships of the empire. If it can really flow enough to allow the fleet to pass, maybe it can give the community a surprise attack!"

Feifei frowned.

"Not to mention anything else in the empire, the only thing is that they have a lot of dogs! They have indeed mastered new detection technology, but the far shore nebula is still one of the most dangerous areas in the galaxy. If this is the case, why don't the Bakovian birdmen Go, don’t let the Jahetas and Tann people go? How can the glorious and noble Imperial Royal Navy do such an inelegant thing as going to mine. But now, the imperial warship actually appeared in person, which is unreasonable.”

Feifei nodded: "What do you think of the fish?"

"...Anyway, there must be something strange about this matter!"

It's a pity, one of the saddest things in the world is that only she knows about the jokes. Feifei didn't get Yu Lian's sense of humor at all, and she still said worriedly: "I have sent this information to the Far Coast Command, I hope They can take it seriously.”

The Far Coast Defense Fleet has always paid attention to the troubles on the opposite side, but there is no good way to deal with this situation.After all, there has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief.

What's more, this time, the imperial cruiser should have come for other purposes.

Well, it's a pity that there are no details and coat of arms of the ship, otherwise it would be completely certain.

"Anyway, don't worry about her for now!" Yu Lian said.

"Oh?" Fei Feila raised her voice, looked directly at Yu Lian, and started to blink her eyes briskly while staring at the latter.

"I heard that Eleanor-senpai's fleet has been reorganized!"

"It doesn't matter. In addition, that is not the fleet of the senior sister, but the new thirteenth fleet of the community, which is called the New Continent Cruise Strike Fleet. The current fleet commander is Brigadier General Mark Love, a very powerful grandfather." Even shrugged.

"I also heard that they are planning to conduct formation training for a period of time in a nearby star area."

"It doesn't matter." Yu Lian continued to shrug.Those of you who do intelligence work are really well-informed.

"I've even heard that they're planning to conduct an actual combat exercise with the Far Coast Defense Fleet."

"What does the matter of the naval fleet have to do with me, a central commissioner whose powers and responsibilities are unclear?"

"In addition, when I came here just now, I went to the Western Hemisphere Suppression Command for a while. They seem to be planning to trap the enemy to death."

"It's also a good choice to make a stronghold, and fight a dull battle. At least it shows that the commander is clear-headed and self-aware!"

"So, what are we going to do now?"

"You don't need to do anything! Uh... Or, just do your job with peace of mind. Feifei can make big news about the Red Maple Factory, and I... the Red Maple Factory is also a military industry, and I am also here. where the responsibility lies."

Since Yu Lian had such an attitude, Feifei didn't say anything anymore, but just stretched out her white jade finger and tapped Yu Lian's forehead: "I brought some ingredients out from the warehouse of the testing station, I'll cook tomorrow ..."

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned her head and smiled at Yu Lian as if she had just remembered something: "There is one more thing I forgot to mention, and it's not too important. Yu'er, I'm awakened too! "
