Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1260 Stealing the Main Battleship (5000)

Just as they were speaking, two more secondary engines were hit.

Hassen was completely stunned. The Silver Moon Pirates were too amazing. They were able to accurately hit the secondary engine from such a distance.

The secondary engine's energy nozzle has a diameter of only ten meters.

The distance between the two sides is now approximately six million kilometers.

At this distance, it was able to accurately hit the secondary engine.

Furthermore, Hassen also knew that if the energy cannons of a Class C warship were to unleash their full firepower, they could instantly destroy the secondary engine, giving it no chance to protect itself!
The officers and men aboard the Stone were already in a state of panic, and some officers were secretly contacting their families to prepare for their escape.

The main problem is that the Silver Moon Pirates are just too monstrous.

At such a distance, it directly forced both main engines and four auxiliary engines into a protection state.

Through this, the officers and soldiers knew that what the other party was saying was true.

If the enemy really wants to destroy your warship, then there's no problem at all.

If a warship is facing a pirate ship head-on, then no one is afraid, because there is not only an energy shield in front, but also thick warship armor.

At the same time, the officers and men on the fleet also understood why the Madhya Pradesh fleet suffered so many defeats when facing these pirate groups—because the enemy had too much combat experience!

The Federation's fleets have not been involved in any major wars for centuries.

Moreover, the Federation's fleets are heavily paid without actually participating in training exercises, and most of the time they just go out for a short trip.

In this way, most of the funds used for training end up in the pockets of certain individuals!

Commander Hassen of the Stone gave the order to abandon the warship.

Moreover, Hassen wouldn't dare to cause trouble on the warship.

Because the speed of an escape ship is much lower than that of a warship.

The situation behind the Federation's Fifth Fleet's main battleship, Boulder, was kept secret.

The pirate alliance had no idea that this had happened.

Yang Bo did not intend to publicize this matter extensively.

Yang Bo appeared on the surface of his warship, wearing battle armor.

Then his figure disappeared, and the next second Yang Bo appeared in the void 100,000 kilometers away, and then flashed again.

Half a minute later, Yang Bo had already appeared on the Boulder warship.

Yang Bo felt he could teleport to the Boulder in an instant, but he didn't know if the Boulder's monitoring system was on.

Therefore, Yang Bo only has a transmission range of 100,000 kilometers.

Yang Bo is currently positioned on the warship at the rear, where one of the energy turrets has been destroyed.

As for why Yang Bo's three warships were able to accurately hit the Giant Stone's energy turret!

This is because this warship shares data with the federal military and intelligence agencies!
The Boulder was attacked by a self-destructing C-class warship of Yang Bo.

Commander Hassen shared data directly with the military and federal intelligence agencies to cover potential liability.

Because Hassen was a person with connections, his first reaction to such a sudden attack was fear of taking responsibility.

Therefore, Hassen kept seeking instructions during the subsequent response process.

Hassen's decision proved to be correct, because from the moment the attack occurred, all orders were issued by higher authorities!

That way, when I go back and face the investigation, no one can pin the blame on me.

Furthermore, Hassen could proudly boast that he had extensive practical experience.

Because on the federal side, these high-ranking officials don't need to answer to the people, but rather to those conglomerates.

And Hassen is a member of one of these conglomerates!
As long as other conglomerates don't give them any excuses, Hassen will have no trouble!

Data sharing is achieved through spatial quantum modules, with virtually no latency.

Yang Bo knew about this shared data, so he was able to accurately predict the enemy's location when firing.

Of course, the two sides are currently in relatively close proximity, only a few million kilometers apart.

This short period of time was simply not enough for the enemy warships to change course.

If the distance is even greater, for example, if the range exceeds ten million kilometers, then the energy cannon will need more than thirty seconds to hit the target!

This takes a bit too long.

Yang Bo appeared at the spot where the energy cannon had hit.

Logically speaking, after a major warship like this is hit somewhere,

Then many automated repair robots will come to perform repairs.

However, this turret does not have any automated maintenance robots.

Yang Bo stealthily entered the maintenance passage next to the turret, which was closed.

However, Yang Bo does not need to enter the maintenance lane!

Yang Bo directly connected to the warship's internal systems from the maintenance passageway.

Yang Bo has now switched to Mechanic mode!

The warship is currently unmanned; its internal systems are simply being operated according to the previous plan.

Yang Bo did not directly gain control of the warship.

Instead, they infiltrated the warship's control system, carefully searching for vulnerabilities within it.

They quickly found many vulnerabilities in the control system and then made those vulnerabilities work.

A vulnerability in a control system refers to a conflict within a subsystem that requires human intervention.
Therefore, various sounds immediately arose inside the warship, mainly indicating that the commander needed to issue orders!

The warship is currently sharing data with the federal military and federal intelligence agencies.

The federal military noticed the situation with the warship and attempted to take it into remote control.

However, without the order of the fleet commander, warships will not carry out orders from the Federation military alone!
This is a dual control system, mainly to prevent anyone from taking control of the warships and rebelling!

However, this dual control system now faces a huge problem: the warship commander is not on board.

Inside the warship, a constant stream of commands requiring human intervention were being issued.

The conflicts in the warship's control programs became increasingly severe, leading to even more program conflicts!

Then the warship's programs started to malfunction.

The main engine of the Boulder has expired its protection period.

With both main engines activated simultaneously, the warship flew into the depths of space.

Then the secondary engines started up one after another!
According to data shared by the federal military and federal intelligence agencies within the warship, there was no external interference.

Because the warship's detection data did not detect any intrusion signals.

The federal military also had no idea what had happened to the warship.

The federal military began to carefully analyze the problems on the warship and found that some of them were indeed vulnerabilities in the warship's internal control system.

The federal military then concluded that the warship suffered damage or interference to some of its systems due to the energy impact of the explosion.

Because even the main warships have not undergone such testing.

Therefore, it is unclear what problems the warship's control system would encounter after being hit by an energy explosion of this magnitude!
Yang Bo left a spatial energy stone at the damaged turret.

Then Yang Bo returned to the safety cabin of the captain's room on the Lee John warship!
"You bastards!" Yang Bo, disguised as the leader of the Silver Moon Pirates, cursed loudly in the public channel.

"You despicable, shameless, and cunning bastards from the Federation!"

"My warship!"

"You bastards, just you wait! If I ever run into these bastards from your Federation again, I'll never trust you again!" Yang Bo cursed in the public channel, then steered three spaceships to chase after the out-of-control Boulder!

Hassen, aboard the escape ship, was somewhat bewildered before receiving news from the military that the warship was out of control.

Then they quickly ordered the escape ships to leave the area.

What Yang Bo wants to do is to destroy this warship and make it disappear into the entire universe.

The goal is to gradually cause the federal military and intelligence agencies to lose track of the warship's signals.

Send this warship to an area with high energy interference!
Yang Bo plans to use his original identity to acquire this unmanned warship in the future.

Finding a warship in space is perfectly normal, isn't it?

When Yang Bo's identity needs a warship, he might be lucky enough to find one.

Yang Bo knew that if his disguised pirate crew successfully captured a capital warship, the pirate alliance would become the common enemy of three countries. Yang Bo still needed to utilize the pirate alliance.

So this is the best-case scenario, as the federal military and intelligence agencies can still share data from the USS The Rock.

The Boulder battleship now flew into the depths of space with its engines at full power.

Yang Bocai is not afraid that the federal military will send a fleet to pursue him!

When the time comes, as many as we chase after them, we'll lose contact with them.

In the universe, there are places where energy interference is incredibly powerful.

If a fleet were to pursue us, we would lose contact or our warships would lose control in these areas!
Moreover, Yang Bo's performance foreshadowed what would happen later in the story.

Hassan was rescued by warships from the Fifth Fleet three and a half hours later.

Hassen led two Class A warships, four Class B warships, eight Class C warships, sixteen Class D warships, and a varying number of other warships!
Full-speed rescue transport fleet!
There are also five hundred trillion energy stones and rare materials over there.

To everyone's surprise, the remaining warships of the Fifth Fleet were ambushed by four pirate groups an hour and a half later.

A salvo from four pirate groups destroyed the engines of two Class A warships in the Fifth Fleet!

These four pirate crews are three of the four pirate crews that were with Yang Bo, as well as Yang Bo's three Class C warships!
The reason why these three pirate groups were able to cripple two of the enemy's Class A warships in one go!

It's because Yang Bo would never allow the pirate crew to obtain an A-class warship.

It's impossible for these three pirate groups to grow to this size so quickly.

Then the second salvo crippled two more B-class warships.

It also crippled three Tier IV warships!

The Fifth Fleet was dumbfounded!

Even the federal military was dumbfounded!

The pirate crew's hit rate was surprisingly high at a distance of four million kilometers.

Yang Bo's three C-class warships, plus the pirate group's three C-class warships, make a total of six C-class warships.

Yang Bo launched into a tirade on the public channel: "You bunch of faithless scoundrels from the Federation!"

"Every time I see you again, I will crush you."

"I'm going to blow up all your warships within half an hour."

The federal military heard this sound coming from the warship's public channel.

I was a little confused at first, but at the same time I understood.

The Silver Moon Pirates probably failed to catch up earlier, so they ambushed other warships of the Fifth Fleet ahead.

Then the Silvermoon Pirates leader's voice came through the public communication channel: "I will not attack the escape ship within five minutes. This is your last chance!"

"What I want right now is your warships!"

"Those warships that don't abandon their ships within five minutes will suffer the same fate as those in front!"

Yang Bo, controlling three Class C warships, directly destroyed two Class A warships of the Federation's Fifth Fleet.

Because at that moment, everyone on both warships had evacuated!
The pirate group's display of force terrified the officers and men of the Fifth Fleet.

The officers and soldiers from the remaining two intact Class B warships, four Class C warships, ten Class D warships, and a varying number of other warships all boarded the escape ships.

Because now the pirate warships are positioned to the flank and rear of the entire fleet.

The entire fleet was simply unable to cope with the attacks from these pirate groups.

At this time, the federal military received information that the transport fleet used as bait was no longer being pursued by pirates.

The federal military and federal intelligence agencies then realized they had been tricked.

The number of pirate groups chasing the transport fleet was not large.

It was precisely because the Fifth Fleet returned in such a hurry that it encountered this situation.

"beat!"

"Give them a good beating!" Enraged, the Federal military ordered the Third Fleet to launch an indiscriminate attack on the pursuing pirate groups.

This is actually another tactic used by Yang Bo.

Five hundred trillion credits worth of energy stones and rare minerals are far less important to a pirate crew than warships.

Because the pirate crew has no way to directly convert energy stones and ores into combat power.

However, these energy stones, along with rare minerals, are of great importance to Madhya Pradesh.

However, this did not prevent Yang Bo from having the pirate group mislead the Madhya Pradesh.

Because Madhya Pradesh never expected anyone to target its main fleet.

The good news for Madhya Pradesh is that the 500 trillion credits worth of supplies are still available.

The bad news is that the Fifth Main Fleet was almost completely wiped out.

So the federal military was furious, and one of the pirate groups that fled in two waves was killed.

This pirate group was utterly routed under the full firepower of the Third Fleet!
However, these pirate groups had no way to scatter and escape because there were only two space jump points in this star system.

If we don't head towards the space jump point, we'll eventually be overtaken by the main fleet in space.

The only way out is to jump to the next star system. The next star system has three space jump points, so these pirates can split into three groups to escape!

Then the main fleet behind can only pursue along one route.

The Third Fleet was pursuing nine pirate groups, consisting of two Class B warships, nine Class C warships, eighteen Class D warships, and thirty-six Class E warships.

The Third Fleet has the same configuration as the Fifth Fleet.

The Third Fleet was 20 percent faster than these pirate groups.

While in Vickbond, the two sides had already closed the distance. After leaving Vickbond, the nine fleets fled in this direction, with the Third Fleet following closely behind. The remaining pirate crews fled towards another space jump point. Therefore, after entering this star system, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer!
The other pirate groups were lucky because the Fifth Fleet returned.

Upon reaching one of the space jump points in this star system, the Third Fleet destroyed one Class B warship, four Class C warships, eleven Class D warships, and six Class E warships!
The next star system had three space jump points, and the pirate crew frantically sailed in three directions.

The Third Fleet is pursuing a pirate group with a Class B warship.

When the Pirate Alliance received the relevant news, the elders of the Pirate Alliance Council almost held a celebration party.

Because a pirate crew with a B-class warship is the most powerful pirate crew in the entire pirate alliance!

These pirate groups, relying on their superior military strength, often formed alliances with other pirates and negotiated prices for the disposal of stolen goods.

At this time, Yang Bo was already leading four C-class warships.

Yang Bo originally only had three C-class warships, but one of them was destroyed.

However, Yang Bo traded one of the three pirate crews for a Class C warship!
Yang Bo simply couldn't bring those warships from the Fifth Fleet back with him!

Because the fleet's standard warships were completely different from the pirates' warships.

The Fifth Fleet's unmanned warships were quickly landed by pirate groups!
Yang Bo then used a remote data link to hack into the other warships of the Fifth Fleet.

The three pirate groups captured two Class B warships, four Class C warships, ten Class D warships, and sixteen Class E warships.

These warships belong to five pirate groups. Yang Bo was assigned a Class C warship during the war, and he used this Class C warship to exchange for a pirate Class C warship.

Then the other pirate groups, along with the Fifth Fleet's captured warships, disappeared into the vast starry sky!

Yang Bo now commands four Class C warships, transforming them into the Karaya State Fleet.

Yang Bo's target is four of these pirate groups, which have only two Class C warships, six Class D warships, and nine Class E warships!
Several of these dozen or so pirate groups have already been wiped out by the Third Fleet.

The other pirate groups are now extremely nervous.

As for why Yang Bo was chasing these four pirate crews, it was because one of the E-class warships in these four pirate crews was the same E-class warship that Yang Bo had given to the Death Pirate Crew last time, which he then sold to this pirate crew.

Therefore, Yang Bo knew the location of this pirate group.

Furthermore, several other pirate groups have already made arrangements with John Lee to help him eliminate other pirate groups once they have consolidated their forces.

Yang Bo wasn't afraid that these pirate groups would renege on their cooperation, because he had implanted a backdoor in their warships.

If Yang Bo wanted to, he could turn these pirates' warships into his own in no time!
It can allow the people on these warships to be killed by the warship's internal surveillance system!

Yang Bo intends to bring these pirate groups together and eventually take them all away.

Dr. Yang caught up with the four pirate groups five days later.

At this point, the news of the complete annihilation of the Federation's Fifth Fleet could no longer be concealed.

The Alliance Empire and other states of the Federation were stunned by this news.

The elders of the Pirate Alliance Council were terrified, because the Silver Moon Pirate Captain was their mortal enemy!
