Chapter 349: The Old Dockyard (Part II)
After the loading and unloading of smuggled goods and ores, the base converted from an old dockyard was not quiet, and a loud low roar came from the sparse air, which was felt by everyone through the floor-to-ceiling observation window as the ground vibrate.
Xiong Linquan and the five of them looked out the window, only to see a pile of metal components slowly rising from the light yellow horizon of the mining star, these metal components have no regular shape, and the traces of erosion can be faintly seen under the painted black surface armor, which looks like garbage.
Even if it was metal waste, they were still startled by the sudden influx of such a large amount of garbage into the base, and the five of them looked at each other, naturally associating this pile of garbage with the giant spaceship in front of the dockyard, because the ship's tattered and metal garbage were really no different.
Just as they had guessed, the giant hoisting and maintenance equipment in the dock began to kick in, and dozens of stout robotic arms stretched out from both sides of the dock, grabbing the golden garbage components on the outer edge, and then slowly lifting them to the outside of the ship.
Thousands of fireworks-like welding fires lit up the shipyard all around, and the black and tattered ship looked like a garment that had been worn for countless years, sewing countless heavy metal components into itself with a hard and heavy graphite core and welding sparks.
As time passed, more and more black metal components hung from the outside of the broken spaceship, and the heavy components were piled up like bottles and cans, dense and ugly, and the ship suddenly turned into a hard-working old man in Bermuda's garbage heap.
Xiong Linquan and the others looked out the window at the scene, watching the metal components the size of an apartment building welded onto the spaceship like a random patchwork, and watching the former Charter Bureau triplane that he had been flying on for many days become bigger and bigger in this old dock, becoming more and more ugly and ugly, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"What's the use of hanging so many garbage components on the spaceship?" Xiong Linquan remembered the picture of the black and tattered spaceship scattered in the SL three years ago, and scratched his head and asked suspiciously: "Is the boss really going to use this spaceship to hit the official residence?"
The shipyard fitting work is simple and boring, although the picture is extremely shocking, "but I can't help but be a little tired of seeing too much, and the team members are silently carrying out the work at hand, no longer looking out the window from time to time."
Gu Xifeng took the electronic pen to record the numerical curve on the workbench, confirmed that there was no problem with the energy supply of the general dock, finished the task of this time period, sat back in the chair a little tired, and gently rested his feet on the workbench.
Lit a cigarette, took a sip of coffee, Gu Xifeng squinted his eyes and looked out the window, there was no entertainment in the old dockyard, only the activity of distant eyes.
Xiong Linquan, who had finished the inspection, walked back to the control room with a few people from the mountain artillery, he unceremoniously took Gu Xifeng's coffee cup and took a sip, and then took out a cigarette case and handed out a cigarette to the team members.
There was a soft click, Xiong Linquan held a cigarette in his mouth, and quickly disassembled the Han Gai Qin sniper rifle in his hand, his eyes were a little confused.
Unscrewed the pulse lighter valve, took out the carbon composite single tube, Xiong Linquan clamped it with two fingers, observed the light for a moment, squinted his eyes and said: "This sniper rifle designed by the leader is indeed raw, but our number is too small to be able to form a dense firepower network, it is good to use it for assassination after returning to the Federation, but if you want to fight head-on with the small-eyed special operations force, it is of little significance." ”
Flicking off the remaining cigarette rolls in his hand, Xiong Linquan frowned and looked at the fiery retrofitting picture in the dockyard outside the window, and couldn't help but say depressedly: "So many resources and energy are all used to wear cotton jackets for the triwing, even if this is not a cotton jacket is a real body armor, it is impossible to fight with the Federation fleet, and I don't know what the leader thinks, with a lot of firepower, if there are a few M ×, it would be even better." ”
"The boss said that this dockyard had nothing to do with the Empire, which was tantamount to saying that he had made it all alone
to the fruits. ”
Gu Xifeng shook his head and said: "Any weaponry, even if it seems simple to you, is a very troublesome system engineering. Without the support of the whole system's sophisticated science and technology, and without a large industrial base, it is already inconceivable that he can make it, and there is no need to think about such things as military mechas, except for the Federation and the Empire, who has this ability? Don't Bermudians want it?"
The black ship in the old dockyard outside the window became even bigger and uglier at a speed visible to the naked eye, in fact it seemed to grow a little bit by the minute, and now the flying volume had become very terrifying, and it seemed that it would be no problem to fit a few parliament hills just by looking at it.
Xiong Linquan looked out the window, looked at the giant spaceship that occupied most of the sky, felt the insignificance of the human individual, and couldn't help frowning and said: "Do you really want to rush into the capital star map like this? The problem is that the larger the volume, the easier it is to be discovered by the glory of the charter, and the easier it is to be hit by the main guns of the battleship." ”
At this time, Xu Le pushed open the door and walked in, he had been busy on the upper deck of the dock for two days with Philip modifying the spaceship, and he didn't hear the team's discussions, nor did he know Xiong Lin's worries at this time.
Walking to the window, Xu Le supported his waist and moved his sour body, looking at the huge spaceship shadow outside the window that was gradually taking shape or becoming unformed, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he turned back to everyone and said:
"This triplane has been with me for several years, but now it doesn't look like a triplane
I want to choose a new name, but I haven't thought about it, do you have any opinions?"
Gu Xifeng shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Boss, you know, whether it is to name people or warships, it is always the most difficult thing. ”
Zhu'er said: "Let's go back to the Federation with Tou, or call it Group Seven?"
"Not good. The monkey shook his head and laughed and said: "The team is called the seventh group, how can the battleship be called the seventh group? ”
"Then what do you call it domineering?"
The monkey waved his arms and said arrogantly, "Cosmic Seven!"
Xiong Linquan did not join the discussion and controversy of the team members, walked to Xu Le's side in silence, and expressed his worries with a solemn expression: "The hull of the ship is too large, and the charter is easy to find and easy to be hit.
Xu Le calmly explained: "For the Charter, no matter how small the ship is, it can be discovered, but for us, the bigger the ship, the smaller it will be in the future.
What kind of shit logic is it to be small when you are older? Xiong Linzhu looked at Xu Le's face in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Boss, you have really become a third-rate philosopher.
There is a breeze blowing on the waste charging star, which is not gloomy, but still tragic, and the huge shadow that shrouds the entire old dockyard is gradually becoming smaller.
With thousands of tons of smoke and dust kicking up, the huge black dilapidated spaceship, or Cosmos Seven, slowly and decisively left the ground and flew into the pitch-black universe.
The control compartment in the deepest part of the ship sounded the alarm disarming signal, and people untied the flow on their bodies
Because of Philip's existence, the team members never entered the command cabin, and only Xu Le and Zhong Yanhua stayed here at this time.
"This time I went deep into Bermuda, and I felt more and more that it was too dependent on the Federation to have the power to protect itself. If the Gary Corridor Twist Void could protect Bermuda from Imperial annexation, why hasn't the Federation eaten Bermuda, a mineral-rich star field, for thousands of years?"
The slender mechanical arm shook slightly in front of him, as if the professor was shaking his head in mockery, and a delicate voice sounded in the cabin: "The Federal Charter stipulates the absolute independence of Bermuda, even if the Federal people want to bypass the Charter and swallow Bermuda, they need to see whether the Charter computer agrees or not." ”
In other words, when humanity begins to renew civilization in this star field, protect Bermuda
The big one has never been a Bermudian, but a charter. ”
"It used to be me, and now it's that scrap metal under the Choral Bureau. ”
Xu Le asked, "If the civilization of this vast region is inherited from the 6 five-person team and the biomarker library in that battleship, why should the five-person team look at Bermuda differently?"
"Use the reference chip to supervise human society and prevent human society from entering like the ancestral star civilization
Destroying the way, this is the true spirit of the Charter. ”
Philip calmly explained: "When the five-member team recast human civilization in the Sanxing system of Shanglin, they chose to carry out this kind of supervision by the charter computer, that is, me, and required that each natural person must be implanted with an identity chip in the back of his neck. ”
But after all, there is no precedent and experience for this approach, and it can even be said that it is a new experiment in human society. ”
"Although some of the five guys on the spaceship are lustful, some are good at drinking, some like to eat fish, and some like to eat meat, they all have in common that they are all homely, and otaku always like to look ahead and worry about gains and losses when doing things, so they decided to set aside a star field for the so-called free people, which is the origin of Bermuda.
"I see. Xu Le sighed: The more I know the secrets of the human pioneer period, the more I feel that the group of statues on Charter Square is really amazing, if there are no five people, how can human beings survive in the Sanlin Star Field. ”
Philip scoffed, "If those five guys were still alive, they would be very glad to hear what you had to say, they always thought that otaku could save the world." ”
At that time, the five-member team experimented with the beryllium meter on the blueprint of a new human civilization, which seemed to Xu Le to be a very shocking large-brush painting, while Zhong Yanhua, who had been listening to the story quietly, only cared about another thing.
"Xu Fei, what is really a house?"
"One, please don't call me Xu Fei, you can call me Xiao Fei. Second, the house is a very rich culture
A special noun with a deep meaning, which is difficult to explain. ”
This kind of conversation with a taste of contempt and ridicule has happened countless times in the past three years on this broken spaceship, Zhong Yanhua and Philip always seem to be able to find new topics to attack each other, and every time at that time, Xu Le, who was so noisy that he was dizzy, always felt that he had raised a pair of chirping twin stubborn daughters, which was very uncomfortable.
He waved his hand to stop another debate, looked at the probe at the top of the maple arm with a serious expression, and asked, "What is the result of the earthquake under the Biki Plateau of the Ink Flower Planet?"
After a long silence, Philip replied, "I don't have enough compute nodes and I don't have a full database to compare to. But based on the data collected, especially the airborne particulate data collected over the Biki Plateau, I can only say that the vague speculation is very bad. ”
"What result?"
"The specifics are unknown. Philip replied directly: "What I can tell you is,
There may have been a bad bomb in the ground of Biki Plateau. ”
Xu Le's eyes narrowed, and after a long silence, he asked, "Could it be the kind of bad bomb you told me about before that destroyed the ancestral star?"
"It's not that powerful, so it's not the big bad guy, it's the little bad guy. ’’
Philip replied: "But the little villain is also very troublesome, after returning to the Federation, you do your thing, I will also do my thing, and I must stop it." ”
After a pause, Philip said solemnly: "The most puzzling thing for me now is why the scrap metal under the charter bureau has not been found. ”
Zhong Yanhua opened his eyes wide and said, "Maybe because of your absence, the charter computer has become stupid and not as easy to use as before?"
"Although I have taken a lot of turns, I still want to thank you for your rare compliment. ”
Philip's voice was not emotional: "But don't forget, I've been looking at that scrap metal in various ways for the past three years, and I can confirm that it's not just getting dumber, it's more difficult to deal with than before.
Outside the window is the dark universe, long space voyages are not always beautiful under the gaze of the stars, Xu Le looked out the window silently, looked at the Federation that was not visible at all in front of him, and suddenly asked, "How sure are you?"
The control cabin suddenly became extremely quiet, and Xu Le's question was directly related to whether there was a chance in this war after returning to the Federation.
After a long time, Philip's slender and calm voice broke the silence and said calmly: "There are three more layers of filters in the central database under the Charter Bureau, and it is difficult for me to hack into the core program, but with the help of that person, I can easily read the thoughts of that scrap metal, although there are not many of them, but there is."
"No matter how much, as long as we have it, we have to try. ”
"After 1.3 Federation Cosmic Standard Timers, the black ragged spaceship crossed the invisible borderline, left the Bermuda Star Field, and officially entered the Federation Star Field.
This space is extremely far away from the Federation's forward base, and there is no alloy fortress the size of an asteroid in sight, only a series of pearl-like twilight information checkpoints, and Shizumi is lined up in front of them.
I don't know what kind of consideration it was based on, but the black dilapidated ship did not choose to avoid these charter checkpoints, nor did it choose to choose the cracks in the glory of the charter, hiding its existence and stealth with difficulty and caution, but just broke through.
The massive hull blocks out the stellar light of the nearest Hunter System behind it, casting a terrifying shadow on those Charter checkpoints.
At the checkpoint, Chartist officials were watching the passengers returning from Bermuda behind the scanning aisle when they turned their heads to look out the window and saw a scene that they would never forget.
A mountain-like heap of black metal garbage, carrying an overwhelming shadow, silently swept overhead, and flew towards the capital star map.
