The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 242: The Devourer is in a hurry
Enough people in the action team died, and they were unwilling to fight anymore no matter what. Captain Adams was just keen to grasp the psychology of everyone.

In fact, Commander Collison also noticed the fear and resentment brewing in the soldiers. More importantly, he had no cards to play.

"I think the alien has all its cards. All it takes is one more push..." Collison was still making his last attempt.

"What are you pushing for? Are you going to do it yourself?" Adams asked rudely.

Collison also made a face: "Before coming, you were clamoring for wealth and wealth, but now life has become the most precious thing.

I can understand and am willing to be considerate, but you have to think about whether those sitting in offices can understand and be considerate.

If the task is not completed, it is difficult to meet the deadline, and the boss is not happy, I am afraid that the pension will only be the lowest level, and it may not be a smooth profit. As for legal rights protection, everyone knows it.

In short, you measure it. Anyway, I think the boss must only look at the results and not the process.

Placing hard work before him is of little use.

Without the alien eggs, the laboratory would have to spend a lot more on procedures to achieve its goals. Translated into money, the losses would definitely be much higher than the pension..."

The group of people suddenly started to quarrel, with people scolding each other, wanting to fight hard, and so on.

"Seconded!"

This is indeed the truth. The plan has basically been worked out, and the style is rather brutal. I even argued with Collison for a long time about this, and even stubbornly said that I would not do the work if I didn't agree.

Someone suggested: "We have to be careful. If we dare to deduct the money from our lives, we will kill them!"

In this era of corporate empires, the cold-bloodedness of the capital has been clearly shown in plain sight, and they are no longer even bothering to pretend.

After all, it's not a prison, so it's impossible to deny privacy at all.

You must master the battleship and have control over the central AI of the ship before you can play tricks.

Even if you risk your life, you have to get the capital to negotiate terms with the person in charge, otherwise you won't even be qualified to start negotiations.

Killing people is much easier and cheaper than killing monsters. After all, even if everyone is not raising a family, they still have their own living habits and rules, and these big data have already been mastered, making them impossible to guard against.

But there are no loopholes. For example, the toilets are not monitored, and some rest rooms are not monitored either.

The surveillance on the ship did not capture any footage of the hijacking, and some sensitive footage could be explained by changing the weapons and cooperating with new operations.

However, it did make the mercenaries decide to try again.

According to the discussion among the soldiers, if everything goes well, then they will not break up with their employer and pretend that there is no such thing as hijacking the ship.

Don't tell your boss how hard it is, how tiring it is, it's useless, especially when it's such a shady and dark job.

But it’s almost time to vent your emotions. It’s time to make a choice, and you still have to make a choice.

Everyone listened and thought with gloomy faces, and the atmosphere seemed depressing.

When Collison saw this, he felt that he really wanted to do it again.

"Seconded!"

The specific operation is not complicated: Adams first gave Collison a sweet date, indicating that the soldiers had been convinced and were ready to launch a new round of operations.

Of course, ships, especially warships, have a dedicated 'anti-cheating system'.

For example, even the captain does not have the authority to change some specially set information.

Therefore, doing the job well is indeed the first priority.

The mercenaries took advantage of this to successfully deceive the surveillance and hijack the Adventurer.

It’s not surprising, he lost his life at the drop of a hat. In such an exciting situation, his professional ethics are at fault! Especially, he was originally a money warrior, but now that he heard that his boss might be playing dirty tricks, he naturally wanted to go back for revenge.

The judgment was correct, but I didn't expect that before the soldiers rushed out, they planned to bury him first.

Someone echoed: "I don't think so. Those influential media have been suppressed and will not report it at all. Moreover, what we do is not a humanitarian rescue. On the contrary, it may cause the colonies, including the home planet, to stage similar events like this." crisis. Public opinion will not sympathize with us. Therefore, if you want to blackmail us, you must have solid information."

"Just hijack the Adventurer and sell the goods to other houses."...

At this time, the soldiers naturally relied more on the trustworthy captain.

For example, voyage record data commonly known as black box, or voyage monitoring information.

The bosses only calculate economic accounts, and human life is just a set of data.

Adams returned to the team in a depressed mood, and then discussed with the players.

Half an hour later.

Adams said: "This money is indeed much harder to earn than expected. We are stuck here now because we can't move forward or retreat. If we go back like this, there will be a series of troubles. If we make too much trouble, we may be silenced."

I have to say that you are unkind and I am unjust. As we chatted, we no longer wanted to talk about professional ethics.

It can only be said that Collison's attempt to use words to suppress the mercenaries when they were already under extreme pressure was a very dangerous attempt.

"Oh...oh!" Facing the murderous soldiers with guns pointed at his head, Collison raised his hands.

With Adams's level of education, he really couldn't compare to Collison. More importantly, what Collison said was basically the truth.

The soldiers are not stupid. They know that they have no chance of making small moves under the supervision of others unless they break up with each other.

These authorities are controlled by a higher level and become an important basis for judging the performance of ship members.

If you extend your head with a knife, you can also shrink your head with a knife, so let's stick our head out. At least we have the initiative, and we can also show our courage to not be afraid of death. We are really in danger, hehe! "

This is also the reason why they would rather coax and deceive to make the hijacking more complicated and difficult.

Just like what Adams said to Collison: "We are all in the same boat. If everything goes well, we can just forget about this part. If it doesn't go well, let's talk about the gameplay that didn't go well."

Soon after, the Adventurer entered attack mode, adjusted its speed and angle, and launched an attack on Area B of the space station in close-range shooting mode.

That's right, this is the new plan that the mercenaries were forced to come up with - ransack the house first, and then pick up the goods!

Area B is indeed the location of the nuclear reactor, and the alien lair is built around the reactor's cooling system.

But a nuclear reactor is not a big explosion. On the contrary, there are quite a few prerequisites that need to be met in order to be used as a bomb.

The thorium reactor used by the Sevastopol Space Station simply does not meet the conditions for weapons-grade applications. At best, it can be used as a dirty bomb, and the effect is not good enough.

What's more, with the authority of space station executive Marcus, and the central AI Apollo being under control, there is no need to worry about bombarding the reactor causing grand fireworks.

With the blueprint and the cooperation of Apollo, the Adventurer's strike will not even touch the core and fuel area.

All in all, this bombardment was carefully calculated.

During the specific process of positioning, calculation, and fire control aiming, the mercenaries still had enough time to complete the emergency shutdown of the reactor through Apollo. There is no deliberate blocking of the system's own global warnings.

Therefore, whether it was Rob, Amanda, Samuel, or other survivors, they all immediately heard the notification of switching the temporary reserve energy supply system.

Of course, Luo Bo didn't care. His new D area had its own pattern and completely cut off all connections. Lighting, gravity, and ventilation all functioned as usual, as did the moving maze.

His attention was now on Amanda, wanting to know how Amanda would make a choice in the face of such an unexpected situation.

Amanda and Samuel's drift cabin plan is more than 80% complete at this time.

The spacesuits were obtained, spare and emergency oxygen bottles, small oxygen generators, and generators were all in place. Even the streamlined and energy-saving transformation of the communication equipment was completed. The only thing that had not yet been resolved was the detachment of the communication station at the critical moment.

Samuel can barely function as a demolition expert, and Amanda's skills as a mechanical technician also allow her to handle the connecting parts of the communication station and the space station.

But the two of them didn't have explosives in their hands, which was a bit tricky, and it was inappropriate to start drifting now.

Broken ties? This is a technical job.

So the two of them were tinkering with this in the elevator shaft when they heard the system alarm.

To be honest, both of them were a little unexpected. Because both of them know that the reactor used by the Sevastopol Space Station is relatively old and ignition is very laborious. Especially after an emergency shutdown like this, it requires a round of maintenance by professionals, and then the cooperation of several professionals can be done. Work normally again.

Only when the reactor is working properly can the space station push down.

Now that the reactor is shut down, it is impossible for the space station to fall down in a short time just relying on its inherent global flight. Even if the Adventurer bombed it wildly, it wouldn't work.

So, these guys who are doing dirty work are not going to destroy the corpses and eliminate all traces?

After Samuel thought quickly, he said: "Since you can control Apollo to modify Job Joe and violate the first law of androids (no harm to humans), then you can also use this authority to clean all past records."

Amanda thought along the lines of Samuel's thoughts and understood.

Without records, there is no evidence and it becomes an unsolved case.

As for witness, theoretically it is difficult for survivors to survive until rescue arrives.

After a shutdown of up to three hours, the artificial gravity system will shut down due to lack of power.

Then there are the shutdowns of facilities such as elevators and electric doors.

Then ventilation, and finally lighting.

The lighting lasted the longest, probably until the rescue team arrived to collect the bodies.

The only option is to come and collect the bodies. After all, if the ventilation stops, not only will there be a lack of oxygen, but the heating will also stop, and the space station will become a huge cold storage.

There is another disgusting point, that is, even if the survivors want to try to restore the operation of the reactor, they can't. The alien's lair is there, and going there to operate is equivalent to death...

Indirect murder!

Amanda believed that these gangsters knew the consequences of their actions, but they still did it.

"Samuel, before it's too late, I decided to get more video information about these bandits."

Area C communication station is one of the few top-level areas in the entire space station.

With such a good location and her deliberate efforts, Amanda had previously taken photos of the Adventurer using the light of stars.

Samuel stopped: "This is too dangerous, they will definitely kill you."

"I'd love to try it!"

"Why? It feels like your decision is a bit abrupt. In theory, those people's shutdown operation should not make you make such a risky decision.

After all, we have already hypothesized the worse possibility of a space station crash before, and have achieved very good results. "

"I think those bastards deserve a trial," Amanda replied.

Samuel knew that this was not the truth, at least not the whole truth, but he did not ask further and just shrugged, which meant that he did not agree or even understand, but he respected the other person's choice.

Amanda didn't say much nonsense, quickly armed herself, and then launched into action.

The real reason is that she thinks she needs more chips.

From this perspective, she would make this trip regardless of whether the action team was shutting down or controlling the space station to crash.

The drift cabin plan is just ensuring a way out.

After all, only by ensuring that you survive can you talk about the follow-up.

Now that there is a way out, there is no need to continue strengthening. The space station will not be crashed, so there will be enough time to wait until the Torrance, which receives the signal, comes to respond.

Therefore, the action of obtaining chips became what she believed to be the most important thing to do.

As for the previous operation of collecting some alien limbs by obtaining medical cryogenic refrigeration boxes, Amanda thought that was not enough. Her ideal target was also alien eggs.

After all, in the alien sequence, the alien egg is the beginning. Once there is one, there are ten thousand, and the steps are not complicated at all.

In this way, Amanda, who was fully armed, headed to Area B. The difference from the past was that this time she wore a light spacesuit.

The lightweight space suit is very similar to a diving wet suit, with a thickness of 5mm. It is close-fitting to prevent cold and warmth, and is equipped with an external oxygen breathing system and helmet.

It is generally used for internal fault repair of the space station.

For example, the power supply system in a certain area is broken, or parts need to be replaced and the power is cut off for a long time, etc.

With such a configuration, it can cope with problems such as weightlessness, itching, and coldness.

Even if you are in space, you can still stop for three or two minutes.

The key problem with this kind of sober spacesuit is that it has no air pressure system, so it cannot stay outside for a long time.

On the other side, as the shutdown was completed, the Adventurer's drilling strike began.

Originally, it was like trying area cutting, but unfortunately the shipboard laser weapons did not support this, so it was changed to drilling.

Deliberately causing the relevant areas to fall into a state of weightlessness, pressure loss, and oxygen loss.

The mercenaries are not afraid that such operations will destroy the 'goods'.

The shipboard medical system on the Adventurer itself has a simple analysis function.

After all, interstellar colonization will encounter injuries caused by various situations. Only timely and correct analysis can we prescribe the right medicine.

As a warship, it is absolutely reasonable that it is superior to civilian ships in this aspect.

While Adams and the others were launching rounds of actions to complete their mission, the analysis operation had already started.

If the aliens encountered this time were not smart enough and had rich trump cards, and new types and characteristics of aliens appeared every time, the mercenary team would not have lost so ugly under the background of analyzed intelligence support.

In any case, the mercenaries now at least know that the tolerance of the aliens is quite amazing. They can operate normally in the space environment. Neither the high temperature of the solar wind nor the low temperature and coldness of the deep space itself can kill them.

As for the impact of cosmic radiation on them, it is difficult to analyze and get accurate results in this short time. The mercenaries don't need to know this result. It's enough to understand that the space environment cannot kill the aliens in a short time.

With this understanding, the mercenaries knew that it would not be a big problem even if they gave the alien lair a 'window surprise' of aliens or even alien eggs.

But the mercenaries firmly believe that this will affect the aliens, and the same impact will be much smaller for the mercenaries.

The mercenaries' power armor suits themselves can be used as space suits.

Powered armor suits were originally developed for interstellar colonization, including launching military operations in environments like the moon. For this reason, a specification was born called planetary armor.

The planetary armor not only has the functions of a space suit, but also has useful functions such as magnetic boots.

This function allows mercenaries to move normally in a weightless environment.

It's just that if you want to play smoothly, you have to go through enough adaptive training.

The mercenaries are all qualified and even good at this.

Therefore, what Adams means is to compare adaptability with the aliens, hoping that through drastic changes in the environment, it will cause trouble to the aliens, thus making it easier to move.

This purpose has indeed been achieved.

If nothing else, the ventilation ducts are basically useless. Because with the shutdown and other operations, the inductive closing function of the entrance and exit of the ventilation duct is lost, and it is troublesome and laborious to open it manually.

As a result, it is almost impossible for magic weapons to suddenly descend from the sky like before.

Also, the force starts from the ground, and the alien claw strikes are very powerful. However, in the absence of gravity and the lack of a good fulcrum, it is difficult to achieve muscle linkage. Just rely on arm muscles, even for round swings. Even if it is swung, it cannot produce a powerful enough blow.

However, the mercenaries can use the weightless effect to relieve the force of the blow to a certain extent. They are also very good at this, and they are specially trained in heavy fighting events.

After all this ebb and flow, the mercenaries finally regained their confidence in fighting and started the fourth wave of killing monsters and collecting eggs...
