ultimate skill

Chapter 325
After placing the flying rocks, everyone turned their attention to the underground equipment.It is really worth studying that such a large and small device can generate such a large space, and there are such strange flying objects in the space.However, the study of this thing must not be in the Habitat, otherwise an accident will affect the safety of thousands of people.

Nian Luo thought for a long time, and finally decided to bring it on the Habitat. After all, the laboratory here will not have complete equipment and enough researchers for a long time to come.His own group was planning to move to a new laboratory on the Habitat, which would only be temporarily closed.

After solving the sticky problem, Sun Xiang officially announced that the fleet will set off in ten days.

The outside world already knew about his departure, and this official announcement did not cause a sensation, but on the day of his official departure, many people went to the spaceport to see him off.

Sun Xiang's fleet officially set sail for departure, with a total of twenty warships.Attila's prominent figures are all here.This time, Sun Xiang unexpectedly gave a speech before setting off. This was his first speech after coming to Attila, although the content was inseparable from Attila's past, present, and future.And some words of encouragement.Although the things he talked about were not new, it was the first time Sun Xiang gave this kind of speech, and it attracted a lot of applause.

Afterwards, Sun Xiang and his party were sent back to the Habitat, and the welcome crowd watched the fleet fly into the distance.

Eight days after the Longxiang Fleet set off, the Mercenary Alliance launched the largest escort operation since the escort of the Habitat.A total of three mercenary regiments participated.This time, there were 36 protected merchant ships, 49 escorting armed spaceships from three mercenary regiments, and [-] spaceships set off for Tumen.

There are a batch of Attila's specialty carding fruits in the fleet, as well as defective goods that have been transformed by the factory, occupying a total of nine merchant ships.These merchant ships were the nine ships that were mixed into the spaceport and equipped with armed robots. After they were captured by Sun Xiang, they were repaired, and now they are just in use.

This time, the total value of the caravan's goods was rare, and even exceeded the total value of the goods escorted by the Habitat every time.This is mainly due to the annihilation of the Pirate Alliance. None of the merchant ships that have been out recently have been hijacked. These big merchants feel that this route is safe, so they contact buyers with the high-value goods that have been accumulated for many years.The purpose of sending the goods to Tumen this time is to conduct transactions.

Although Attila's largest pirate fleet has been wiped out, there is no guarantee that there will be fish that slip through the net. Since the goods this time are of high value, in case of an accident, everyone will lose everything. Chairman Chadwick took the lead and specially hired thirteen armed spaceships from three mercenary regiments to escort them. This kind of strength made them feel at ease.

The fleet sailed smoothly for 12 days, and No. [-] days found anomalies.Two slender spaceships followed behind them at some point.Spaceships of this shape are generally very fast, but due to their size, they are not suitable for use as merchant ships. These two ships immediately aroused the vigilance of the escorting spaceships.

The commander in charge of the escort mission at this time is Wei An, the head of the Yuheng mercenary regiment. Yuheng is an old-fashioned mercenary regiment with a long history and a large scale.This time, Wei An came to Attila with five armed spaceships to open up new businesses. He did not expect that this planet lacked escort mercenaries. He, a pathfinder, was immediately caught by Summers because of his prestige , so he became the commander of this escort mission.

Before the mission started, Summers found him on purpose and said some inexplicable words to him. When he asked what happened, Summers vaguely told him that there might be trouble this time. If the situation is unfavorable, I hope he does his best to keep everyone safe.The implication is that if it doesn't work, you can abandon the goods to protect the people.

Wei An has been thinking about the meaning of Summers' words along the way. Now that he saw two unidentified spaceships appearing, he immediately asked the correspondent to contact the other party, hoping that the other party could identify them.

Unfortunately, after more than ten minutes of non-stop contact, the two spacecraft did not respond at all.

Wei An knew that the fleet was really in trouble this time. Most of the two spaceships were spaceships used by pirates to detect wind and reconnaissance. The pirate fleet might arrive soon.He immediately ordered all merchant ships to form a defensive formation, and armed spaceships protected the periphery.He wondered in his heart, wasn't the fleet of the Pirate Alliance wiped out?Why do pirates appear again, and these pirates don’t know how to hide when they see 49 spaceships. Although there are only [-] armed spaceships among them, the strength of these ships is not small when they are gathered together (the merchant ships are also armed to a certain extent. Not a small force), the strength of these pirates must not be small.

Good or bad, not long after the security order was issued, and before the merchant ships were adjusted, fifteen spaceships arrived at the front, rear and rear of the fleet. This kind of spaceship with a messy size can be seen as a pirate at a glance. spaceship.

"Open the shields for all spaceships." Seeing this situation, Wei An knew that he couldn't hide, and ordered after sighing.In fact, even if he didn't issue this order, all the spaceships had already raised their shields. No matter who it was, life-saving was always the most important thing.

To defend against the attack of 36 pirate spaceships, I'm afraid I can't do it with [-] armed ships in my own hands. Even if [-] merchant ships can obey my command, the effect of joining the battle is limited. This situation is very difficult for escort ships. The team is extremely unfavorable, whether it can withstand the attack of the pirate spaceship depends entirely on how attractive the cargo is to the pirates.

Thirty pirate spaceships were not in a hurry to attack, they circled around the fleet not too far away.Wei An noticed that except for one or two armed spaceships in the entire fleet that could reach their speed, the speed of the other spaceships was not good enough, and escape was impossible under such circumstances.

The correspondents had been contacting the pirate ship for a long time. Perhaps the pirates felt confident and did not respond to Wei An's communication request.

After more than an hour, Wei'an and the others realized that the [-] spaceships on the other side were still waiting for reinforcements, and another five spaceships had entered the detection area.

When the spaceships that had just arrived approached, Wei'an and the others saw the appearance of these ships clearly, feeling a burst of despair in their hearts.The five spaceships that arrived later could be seen as battleships from their appearance.

Ordinary battleships face armed spaceships, if the level of commanders is not much different, then the battleship will definitely win.This is related to the original design idea of ​​the spaceship. No matter how it is modified, its frame has been fixed, unless the technology far surpassing that of the battleship is used.But it is not easy to surpass the manufacturing technology of warships.Low-level civilizations don't have the technology to manufacture warships at all. The technology for manufacturing warships in middle and high-level civilizations is taught by the communicators of the three super civilizations, which is many times better than their own research.Just like this, the performance of warships manufactured by middle and high-level civilizations is not much different, and the gap with warships produced by top-level civilizations is also limited.The warships made by these civilizations are of course much better than the modified armed spaceships.
