It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

"Wahahahaha, it turns out the Pilot guessed it too, meow! That's right, of course it's the ramming and boarding tactic!"

Boss Cheng not only saw a dreadnought-class space battleship being separated from the side of the ship, but he also heard Sweet Cheese telling Boss Cheng and everyone in the alien bridge to hold on tight on the communication channel.

But Boss Cheng did not do so. Instead, he ordered everyone to lie on the ground immediately and cover their ears.

A few seconds after everyone followed Boss Cheng's orders, a rumbling sound and a tooth-grinding scraping sound came through everyone's palms and into their ears. This sound directly stimulated everyone to get goose bumps all over the floor.

"Hey!" Boss Cheng yelled in the communication: "Do you know that doing this will scratch the paint of the battleship? We don't have the equipment for spraying or baking paint!"

"Eh? Oops!" Sweet Cheese said in a cute voice like a glass shard scratching his throat, "Sweet Cheese forgot, what should I do meow? The Pilot will definitely not blame me, right meow?"

Boss Cheng:?)?Д?(

The hardness and strength of the Spartan alloy are really too much. The paint on the bow of the Dreadnought class was scraped off, but the armor on the bow part did not deform at all. However, the operation of using a torpedo to make a hole and then inserting the hull into the hull of another ship was quite successful.

Boss Cheng and the others had not walked far from the bridge when they saw that the Dreadnought-class personnel boarding port was wide open, waiting for everyone to board the ship and evacuate.

As for what happens next...

Boss Cheng and others came to the main bridge of the 40000-year-old ship, and then the seven ships tied together accelerated together and successfully encountered the Zeta Star Fleet 7 minutes later. Sweet Cheese scanned the ships of the other fleet and judged that at least 40% of the ships in the fleet were of the same model as the one destroyed by the positron cannon.

After getting the answer, Boss Cheng immediately ordered Sweet Cheese to launch all six dreadnought-class battleships. The wave motion cannons on the seven ships immediately entered the charging state.

The flagship carrier of the Zeta Fleet certainly noticed the little mantis that suddenly stood up and tried to block the car. However, the fleet commander-in-chief was dismissive of "only 7 small boats" hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. After all, they have a huge fleet of more than 3000 interstellar battleships.

And on the other side...

"Since these small boats are needed before we set out on our journey to conquer a foreign land, let's use these seven small boats as our first..."

It is impossible to know what the commander-in-chief of the Zeta fleet wanted from "us". After all, the Zeta fleet was completely destroyed. Except for a few Zeta spaceships at the outermost edge that survived and escaped, the remaining 95% of the Zeta starships were turned into a small piece of cosmic dust between the orbits of Mars and Earth by a round of wave motion cannon fire from Boss Cheng's "fleet".

Even Boss Cheng himself did not expect that the power of the Chunlan-class and Dreadnought-class wave motion cannons would be so much greater than the original one! Even the knowledgeable Boss Cheng also felt the excitement and pleasure of Captain Li when he "changed the gun from bird to cannon".

But what Boss Cheng didn't expect the most was the Zeta Fleet! Imagine such a large and crowded group of spaceships, but they couldn't even survive a round of salvos from Boss Cheng.

"I'm quite disappointed. I knew the Zetas were as weak as bean sprouts, but I didn't expect their fleet to be much stronger than their physique. I really don't understand how these guys dare to go on an interstellar expedition with a bunch of junk that can't even stop a bomb."

"Maybe they are too ignorant!" Even Sweet Cheese said, "Even I know that in the vast universe, races or civilizations are slaughtered or destroyed every moment. Looking at the entire universe, death and destruction are the norm in the universe, right, Pilot?"

"That's right. Looking across the universe, the races that are good at courting death are always the most pretentious and self-righteous."

"So, whether you're a human, a cat, or a robot cat, you have to be low-key. Right, cat?"

Boss Cheng nodded and replied, "Yes!"

"But I feel that the Pilot is not low-key at all. The Pilot didn't keep his word and promised not to show his spaceship in front of the UNSC, but he still flew out of the earth in a spaceship!"

"Uh... this..." Boss Cheng scratched his head, "This is too complicated, let's discuss it back on Earth."

A major crisis that could have completely ended the human history of the wasteland world was triggered by a few Zetas who committed suicide, triggering a ruthless person's post-traumatic stress disorder. Ultimately, the plan that had been planned for 300 years failed, and even the last hope of their race ended up in ashes.

Thus, the crisis of the earth was solved by Boss Cheng in a flash.

On the way back, Hartigan, an old-time astronaut who had been kidnapped from the 20s until now, asked Boss Cheng to drive the battleship around the moon. This request was also supported by others. Boss Cheng didn't care anyway, anyway, he didn't have mileage anxiety, so he just went around the moon.

At first, a group of pre-war astronauts, ordinary soldiers, and federal officials were very interested in the moon. But after staring at the bare and cratered moon for more than ten minutes, they felt bored.

The most embarrassed person was the linguist of NASA. He asked Mr. Cheng to move the warship close to the landing site of Apollo. But the problem that followed was that the landing site of Apollo was found, but there was no trace of the landing. There was no "small step for mankind" and no small national flag.

Of course, the Sea of ​​Tranquility, which should have had traces of Apollo’s moon landing, not only did not have Apollo, but also did not have the Bunny Clan and the giant Zodiac Seal.

At least not the moon in this world.

As for the others on the battleship...

A samurai who was kidnapped from the Japanese Warring States period was almost collapsed. Because Boss Cheng could speak Japanese, he learned from Boss Cheng that he was kidnapped six or seven hundred years ago.

When another guy in power armor learned that it was already the year 2282, he exclaimed, "Oh my God, I thought it was just a few days! I didn't expect that I have been kidnapped on the spaceship for five years!"

0198 Never Fly

"You can call me James Jr. You can call me Lone Wanderer. You can just call me Lone Wanderer."

However, after introducing himself, Little James pointed to the 360*360*360-degree surveillance image of the warship on the big screen on the bridge and asked Boss Cheng why the wreckage of the Zeta fleet's warship was towed back to the vicinity of the earth.

"Oh, because a thief never leaves empty-handed." Boss Cheng explained nonchalantly.

"Will the thief leave empty-handed?" Everyone expressed their confusion.

But when the warship returned to Earth orbit, they understood what the saying "a thief never leaves empty-handed" really meant. They only felt a slight shake coming from the hull, and when they came to their senses, they saw that the Zeta spacecraft fixed to the hull by the gravity anchor had disappeared.

Boss Cheng was mumbling, "Why is there only 26 Pts? This is too little!"

[Yes, it is indeed too little. This amount of money is not enough to buy even half of a Chunlan-class space battleship. But the main control recovery department believes that the more than 10 alien spaceships you towed back are only worth this price. Their evaluation is that the technical content of the ship is too low, and the recovery can basically only be used for the new player competition map to do the Easter egg mission that requires special triggering. ]

"Speaking of which, how backward is the spacecraft technology of these Zeta people to be so disliked by the main controller?"

[According to the recycling department and the technical department, it is roughly equivalent to the technological level of the 27th cornerstone world around 2120, or the level of the wasteland world that was not destroyed by the nuclear war in 2150. ]

Now, Boss Cheng completely understood why the Zetas would "help" humans start a nuclear war. But whether Boss Cheng understood it or not, there were only a few Zetas left who escaped. The Zeta civilization was basically destroyed by Boss Cheng alone.

"Then, can you tell me why there is not a single space fighter in my Chunlan-class hangar? And where are the transport planes and escape pods that are standard on the seven warships?"

[Eh? No?] The programmer and other people in the project team were also confused.

"Yes, no." Boss Cheng told the programmer, "It was Sweet Cheese who used the tactic of ramming and boarding, inserting the entire Dreadnought into the Zeta warship, that allowed us to escape."

[Okay, I'll ask for you...]

A few minutes later.

[They gave a reply.] The programmer informed Boss Cheng: [They didn’t intentionally reduce your equipment, but… they said that the “Space Tiger” fighters originally equipped on the ship were too backward, and their performance was not even 1/5 of that of the X-wing fighters, so they didn’t install them for you. As for the lifeboat issue, they said that the Dreadnought-class battleships were meant for you to use as lifeboats.]

"How much is a lifeboat worth? It's impossible that they would even reduce its specifications, right? Could it be that the people who built the spaceships were captured by the Strong Force Department from the design department of Volkswagen? In which world is the Volkswagen design department so conscienceless that it was collectively punished by God to create a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Strong Force Department?"

【Uh……】

There was no sound from the programmer.

But not long after, another voice that did not belong to a programmer sounded in the system communication.

[As for why there are no lifeboats, our technical department explained that if you can't escape even if you start the extra-dimensional submersion on a dreadnought-class battleship, then just accept your fate. A small lifeboat is useless.]

In an instant, Boss Cheng felt that the other person's words made sense! So, Boss Cheng decided not to argue with the technical department about the lifeboat issue, and instead asked them: "What about the fighters in the hangar? Why not equip them with X-wing fighters?"

[Because we feel that the appearance of the X-wing fighter does not match that of the Chunlan. ]

Boss Cheng asked, "Is the person in charge of your technical department a Virgo?"

But Boss Cheng never imagined that the other party would answer truthfully: [In fact, all the people working in our technical department are Virgos.]

Boss Cheng: ┐('～`；)┌

Boss Cheng thinks...

After getting this answer, all problems and encounters become reasonable and easy to understand.

[But I advise you not to worry. The reason why we didn't equip your ship with airplanes is because we got some good stuff with unique designs. We can guarantee that once this novel aircraft is mass-produced and delivered to you, you will definitely be satisfied. But I have to say it in advance. You still can't sit in the cockpit of a fighter. ]

"What the hell..."

[When you return to the underground base, I will have them pass you the information on the new aircraft! Also, your Chunlan-class hangar has been redesigned for you based on the new aircraft that will soon be mass-produced!]

"Then I'll wait and see."

Just as Boss Cheng was about to hang up the call, someone from the technical department suddenly asked Boss Cheng: [Are you going to tow the remaining Zeta spacecraft back to the wasteland? ]

"Yes, what's wrong?" asked Boss Cheng.

[Then I must remind you that the speed you take the Zeta spacecraft into the atmosphere must not exceed 1100 kilometers per hour. ]

"Wouldn't that be the same as floating through the atmosphere?"

[Yes! It's to make you "float" down!] The technical department explained: [If the speed is too fast, the spacecraft with a hole in it is likely to disintegrate in the atmosphere.]

Boss Cheng is really sighing. With a spacecraft of this level, how dare they launch an interstellar expedition that concerns the survival of the race? Isn't it better to find a nearby uninhabited planet first and wait for a while for technological development?

However, this does prove from the side that the plan of the "spaceship faction" is indeed unreliable. After all, the technology on Earth in 2024 is not as good as that of the Zetas!

Then, Boss Cheng spent 40000 yuan to "carry" the Zeta spaceship at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, and it took more than three hours to "float" back to the hotel. Then, Sweet Cheese controlled the battleship and threw the broken spaceship into the open space between the base and the Red Rocket Gas Station.

The battleship moored back on the slipway of the underground base.

Boss Cheng and the other people who were rescued from the spaceship had just left the battleship when the entire 500-meter-long ship disappeared in an instant.

[The technical department asked me to send the battleship back for upgrading. ]

"No problem. Please help me repaint the scratched areas. Thank you!"

[The information of the new aircraft has been sent to you, please take a look for yourself! ]

Boss Cheng opened the delivery box and saw a loose-leaf technical manual lying at the bottom of the box.

"VF-171(F) Aerospace Dual-Purpose Transformer Fighter Technical Manual? More than 2000 pages? This is too thick!"

Can it be less thick?

Even the design drawings and the technical structure of the aircraft engine are clearly drawn. If it is not thick, the aircraft technology is too backward!

When Mr. Cheng walked out of the hotel, the nuclear dome he had spent 16 billion on had disappeared. Mr. Cheng only needed to look up to see the starry sky.

The places where dormitories, research buildings, and hangars should have been replaced by a large pit 30 meters deep and 150 meters in diameter. As for those who were supposed to continue to investigate, explore, and research here, they have all retreated back to Hualin City.

Perhaps only the UNSC armored reconnaissance vehicle located outside the pit can prove that a modern scientific research base once stood here.

"It's because of this pit that you drove your battleship back to seek revenge on the Zetas, right?"

Boss Cheng nodded and told little James: "That's right, because when they blew up this pit, it reminded me of a lot of bad memories, so the Zetas must die! In other words, all the alien bastards should die! Isn't that right?"

"It seems that they really did provoke you, but I think they have it all to blame. Your feat of wiping out all the Zetas can be regarded as seeking justice for the countless people who died in the nuclear war." After that, Little James asked Boss Cheng: "Can you do me another small favor and send me back to Washington, DC?"

"The capital? Maybe, but not today."

Little James looked again at the oversized pit in front of him.

"It seems you have a lot of things to deal with tonight."

There are indeed many things that need to be dealt with, because Zhou Zhezhi has already taken a special plane (Quinje) to Hualin City. And this time, there is not only Zhou Zhezhi who came to Hualin City, but also the Chief of Staff of the UNSC Supreme General Staff Headquarters and many senior staff officers.

After all, in the eyes of the Supreme General Staff, what happened in the wasteland this morning was tantamount to a direct nuclear strike. For the UNSC, it was tantamount to declaring war!

Moreover, in full view of everyone, Boss Cheng drove the space battleship straight into the sky, and disappeared for several hours.

The top UNSC staff had reason to be afraid, not only of the invisible enemy, but also of any accident that might happen to Boss Cheng. Fortunately, when they arrived at Boss Cheng's place, Boss Cheng had already returned to the store, and while waiting for Zhou Zhezhi and the others, he was dealing with the missed calls on his phone that were "out of service area" for most of the day.

"Oh, we went to the vicinity of the orbit of Mars and wiped out a large group of alien bastards."

"Alien bastards?" Zhou Zhe asked directly: "Aliens?"

"Yes, they were driving thousands of scrap metal ships, probably preparing to occupy the wasteland world. But unfortunately, these bastards provoke me, so I drove my battleship and destroyed all their spaceships."

Zhou Zhezhi: [?_??]

Supreme Chief of Staff: ∑(′△｀)? !

Other senior staff: (′｀;)?

"Also, I towed back a junky alien spaceship. If you plan to continue sending people to the wasteland for research, you can take that broken spaceship and study it. Research it however you want. It belongs to you, the UNSC! But I have to remind you that the Zetas have already proved with their actual actions how unreliable it is to escape from the home planet by driving a spaceship."

Not long after, the Supreme Chief of Staff replied to Boss Cheng on behalf of the UNSC: "Our comrades cannot sacrifice in vain, so we will continue to collect and research technology in the wasteland. As for the spacecraft escape, please rest assured, Comrade Cheng. You have never flown out in a warship, let alone brought back an alien spacecraft!"

0199 Which company are you from?

In fact, after the Nuclear Defense Vault announced to the wasteland that everyone should return to the base immediately, it also sent an alert for all personnel who went out to find shelter on the spot immediately.

But the base learned only after the Zeta attack that not all of the outbound reconnaissance and scientific expedition teams had received the evacuation alert.

This was not a misoperation caused by the communication personnel due to nervousness, but the Zeta spacecraft's death ray cannon seriously interfered with the transmission of radio signals during the firing process. So it was not that the alarm was not sent out, but that the radio waves sent out were seriously interfered with.

The team that Ji Yuehua was in probably didn't receive the emergency evacuation alert, but it was also possible that they had received it.

but……

If the team that Dr. Ji Yuehua was in was farther away from the base, they wouldn't have enough time to get back to the base. Or if the team member driving the car could drive directly to the door of Boss Cheng's store...

At this point, there is no need to delve further into this matter.

All five of them were named revolutionary martyrs and received various honors after their sacrifice.
