Chapter 94 I don't make trouble
When facing the Zero Cannon, Alex still felt nervous even though he knew clearly that it would not be able to harm composite evolved humans with super computing power. Ever since he had an extra piece of brain control body in his brain, he regarded himself as half
Robot. How to make sense of feelings despite knowing that this idea is far from the truth?
In the distance, the Liuma's bow search light flashed twice, which was a signal for the clearing cannon to fire. Alex saw a spiral shock wave coming towards him, which was carrying special computing power.
The result of energy disturbing the air. Then he felt dazed for a moment, like the dizzying feeling of suddenly walking from a cold place into the strong sunlight. This feeling was fleeting, and he found that he was still standing where he was intact. So he started
Check your equipment.
---External equipment (2/2): Space suit, computing stick are in excellent condition and can be used normally.---
The effect seems to be good, the weapons and armor can work, but the mask-type encrypted communication device has shut down, and the double-barreled impact gun cannot fire. Apparently they are all affected by the zeroing cannon.
The brain-controlled body can protect itself, but it cannot protect the equipment connected to it. Alex's space suit and computing stick were spared, mainly because of the special ability to control external devices, allowing the brain-controlled body to replace their original systems and become
Control the core and become immune to the Zero Cannon attack.
The mask communicator and double-barreled impact gun were restored to function after three minutes, but this experiment was not good news. Alex's brain-controlled body is very unique. It can protect external control equipment, but Amy does not have this ability.
The two siblings exchanged positions, and she also tested the zero-zero cannon herself. Sure enough, all the equipment with electronic systems in her body failed, and no one was spared.
"The unilateral suppression that we thought about before seems difficult to achieve. At present, it is certain that cold weapons can be used, and explosive propulsion weapons that use chemical principles should be no problem. However, in the space environment, there is either no air, or if there is, the ingredients inside
It's unstable. We can avoid using chemical energy propulsion weapons." Amy pondered for a moment: "The safest way is to use the potential energy stored in the material...Give me the printer, and I'll make some pneumatic bottle crossbows."
"Can a starship captain build something like that?" When Amy nodded, Alex looked at her with admiration.
After a hundred test firings, the zeroing cannon has performed well and stably, and the firing table has been established. In the future, the target can even be indicated through the detection system outside the ship and the signal from the gravitational wave radar, so that the zeroing cannon can be fired automatically. With this
With the equipment, everyone has something to rely on to deal with pirates. Alex returned to the bridge, started the engine, and then headed to the pole to ship goods.
It's still freezing here, and the genetically modified piglets are all hibernating. Because they arrived later than the scheduled time, the piglets were covered with thick snow, and they looked like round snowballs. They were living creatures of their own.
The human breeder was a little dissatisfied, but after hearing that Alex was going to repair the boat instead of playing, his expression softened a little.
"Red and green, you operate the tractor beam, and I'll go and have a chat with him." Alex handed over the work in his hands, then stepped on the hard snow towards the self-made creature, and asked: "I
An unidentified high-speed flying object was detected in the area near Pt52. It looks like a starship and may be pirates. Is there a process for applying to expel pirates here on Beolo? Who should I talk to about this?"
"Report to the star port, submit evidence, and then there may be a patrol starship to investigate." The self-made creature asked: "You'd better have the scan information of the pirate starship."
"Scanning information requires a distance within one thousandth of a light second. I don't want to send it to my door." Alex shook his head. It seemed that the possibility of getting support from Beolo to avoid pirates was basically zero.
.
However, he still tried to go to the star port, and always tried his best. The airport on Beolo Star replied that it would arrange a patrol starship to have a look, but it did not say the time or the route, so it was equivalent to perfunctory
Alex was polite to them on the surface, but knew in his heart that he could only rely on himself. But just as he was about to take off, Boss Ming sent a message.
"My work here has come to an end for the time being, and I am going back to replenish supplies. Captain, since you are still on Beolo Star, can you pick us up on the way?"
"No problem, send me the coordinates!" Alex turned the spherical rudder, and the Liuma turned around in the air and headed directly towards Boss Ming and Mr. Jin's Xiangyun.
After seeing the great ape boarding the ship, Alex felt more at ease and let the Liuma fly to Pt52 according to the new route he planned. After Boss Ming and Mr. Jin finished fixing the Xiangyun, Alex moved everyone
Called to the bridge.
There is no way. Although the restaurant is more suitable for meetings, the temperature there is currently minus 20 for the hibernating pigs, so it is impossible to have the atmosphere of a meeting.
"We may encounter pirates. The Liuma has been equipped with EMP weapons with the money we earned before. The ship's shield is also good. It is not a bare-handed attack at all. I don't want to provoke pirates, but I will never wait to die without fighting back. Everyone
Be mentally and operationally prepared, Xiangyun is best kept on standby and used as an escape vehicle when necessary."
"The Xiangyun is only a Vine class and does not have the ability to fly across galaxies." Boss Ming said: "Captain, you should have said this before we boarded the ship."
"I just saw the signal of a suspected pirate, but I can't confirm it yet, and I also changed the route this time." Alex's eyes were sharp and he said somewhat rudely: "Every time you go out on a voyage, you have a chance to encounter pirates.
Doesn’t this mean you won’t get on the ship?”
Boss Ming shook his head. "You misunderstood me. Of course we will still board the ship, but we can prepare more weapons. Some of my old robots are combat models, equipped with some simple personal weapons, which can at least prevent pirates from boarding the ship.
.”
"I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully and just made a mistake."
"It doesn't matter. The main thing is that I couldn't express myself accurately at the beginning."
Alex clenched his fist and waved, and said: "It's best that we don't encounter pirates. If we do, escaping from them is still the first option. If we are really unlucky and cannot avoid it, then I
I will put your life safety first and solve the problem or resolve them."
"I feel relieved with your words." Honglu stood up and said, "In this case, I have to make some preparations and then wait for the captain's dispatch. Boss Ming, can you help me with a few favors? You
It’s more convenient for women.”
"Sorry, no." Boss Ming's black veil swayed from side to side, and a voice that could not be heard from thousands of miles away came out. "The battle I don't understand can only be done by relying on some robots, and I need to speed up the maintenance of them now.
It's in a usable state. You can ask the captain's sister for help, or the captain can - he's a gentleman."
"Forget it." Honglu kept staring at Boss Ming's looming legs and feet under his dress, seeming to be fascinated by them.
Wait, isn't Red and Green attracted to Boss Ming's body? Alex was shocked. Red and Green told his story. He used to be a great beauty, but was later captured by the Composite Evolutionary Research Team, leaving only
The head and the life support device that maintains its movement, and the rest is a mechanical body. Boss Ming’s appearance has never been known, but she has a good figure. Isn’t it because Red and Green are jealous and want to take Boss Ming’s body?
?
Well, she can't beat Boss Ming's bodyguard Mr. Jin, and she doesn't have the ability or equipment to perform that level of surgery. If it's memory and mental transplantation, Alex has the ability in this area, but simply changing his head won't work.
.
Fortunately, I won't change my head, otherwise I wouldn't be the Alex I am now.
After notifying the crew of the pirates, Alex could concentrate on driving. Along the way, he kept an eye on the gravitational wave detection radar and did not let go of any suspicious signals. On the way, Amy brought him
The composite evolved version of the gas bottle crossbow is equipped with a set of ten magazines. Each gas bottle can support the launch of three sets of magazines. At a distance of fifty meters, its power can shoot into a two centimeter thick steel plate.
This power is no less than that of some gunpowder firearms, and is enough to threaten ordinary armored protective equipment without shields. It is currently the best long-range weapon in the environment of clearing cannons. Amy has made a total of five of them, with 500 rounds of ammunition.
Each person has a hundred shooting opportunities. However, Mr. Jin refused this "toy", so Amy simply brought two with her.
A few hours later, he saw Pt52, but the pirates did not appear. He couldn't tell whether he was more grateful or disappointed now, but since there were no unexpected interruptions, he continued as planned. Alex dialed lightly
Turning the spherical rudder, the Flowing Horse drew an arc in the air, and then landed towards the pioneer camp.
Through the wind and snow, through the sweeping rain, the Flowing Horse entered the comfort zone of the fusion hot station. The pioneer camp was quiet. Usually four or five self-made creatures were waiting here in trucks, but today it was not.
Only the most familiar one, the red-skinned one, was left. He waved to the starship from a distance, and then hurriedly greeted it.
"Unfortunately, they thought you wouldn't come today, so they drove out in a truck." The self-organizing man explained: "We only have a truck here, why don't you park the starship in a cooler place and wait.
, lest those pigs become unwell?”
"Hmm... when will they come back? The environmental circulation system on my starship is very good and can keep the temperature low enough. We can wait for a short time."
"It's hard to say." The self-made creature said: "You can fly 180 kilometers south. There is a hill there and a shelter from the wind on the back. We will also camp there when working in the field. The temperature there is low, but
There’s little wind and snow, so it’s very safe.”
"180 kilometers is not far. I'll discuss it with the pilot." Alex picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Amy who was still on the bridge. He told the situation just now, but at the same time he used the encryption of the composite evolved human.
The language expresses another meaning:
Something doesn't feel right to me. When did a self-made creature become so diligent that he would go to work 180 kilometers away? They didn't mention field work at all before. In addition, this person never said when the truck would come back. In this kind of situation
If we go out under such circumstances, why don't we agree on a return time to meet them? Besides, in addition to the pig accident, we also bought them daily necessities. We made an appointment to unload the goods before we left last time. Why didn't he mention it at all?
Amy quickly replied: "Just give him a try and say let's go to planet-synchronous orbit and listen to his answer."
So Alex patted his spacesuit and said, "My crew just said that if we stay here and turn on the air conditioner, we might as well fly to synchronous orbit and wait. The engines haven't been turned off anyway."
"It's so troublesome? I'm so sorry. Why don't you wait here for a while and I'll contact the truck to see if they can come back early."
"Okay, please contact us immediately. By the way, call some manpower to come out. The things purchased for you have arrived. Unloading them first will also reduce the take-off weight and save some fuel costs."
"Ah? They all followed the truck out..."
"Oh my God, how could this happen?" How could Alex not know that something was weird? He squinted and looked in the direction of the village, and had silently turned on the combat protection mode of his space suit. There was an almost undetectable halo.
From the flashes on his body, he believed that the genetically modified eyesight of the self-contained biological people could definitely be seen. Then, he said: "According to the contract, I only need to unload the genetically modified pigs here. There is no need to wait for the truck.
.The truck is actually your own business. But if you have difficulties, I am also willing to make friends, but whether it is waiting here, flying to the south or returning to the track, what should I do with the extra expenses?"
"They landed suddenly and took control of my family. Captain, we are not combat-oriented autonomous beings."
After the red skin finished speaking, he pointed to his ear, indicating that there was something inside. Then he turned around to face the direction of the settlement, always keeping half of his body in front of Alex. Soon, from the settlement
Seven people walked out of the ground, all wearing masks and hoods to cover their faces, and covering their protective clothing with particularly loose and flashy clothes, for fear that their appearance would be recorded by the surveillance equipment in the settlement. These seven people were carrying energy weapons of different lengths.
, one of them held some kind of trigger control device in his hand.
"They have explosive devices, and that switch is the controller. He threatens us, unless you enter the trap heading south, otherwise we must use land-based guidance beams to pull you down. They landed on a starship disguised as merchants
, twenty-one people..."
"Hey, hey, if you keep talking, the situation will become more complicated." The seven masked robbers gradually approached, and the leader shook the detonator in his hand. "I will give you a new task now: arrest the captain.
live!"
"Everything that happens here will be recorded. If I help the pirates, then everything I have as a pioneer will be lost. You can solve your own affairs, otherwise you will never leave this star field alive!"
"Hey, with the ship on the opposite side, no one can catch up with us! You think so, Captain?" The leading pirate waved his hand and shouted to the self-made creature: "Get away! Otherwise, your daughter will suffer from it.
One more hole!"
The pirates raised their guns, obviously aiming to suppress Alex.
Chapter completed!
