Can My Battleship Be Upgraded?

"Brother Tiger! The armor is almost completely destroyed! The frequency of collisions is too high, we can't hold on!"

"Brother Hu, the hull has been cracked in many places, and the engine room is also damaged!"

"The engine output is insufficient and we cannot escape! What should we do, Brother Tiger!"

Chen Hu looked confused.

The change came so fast that he had no time to think of a way to deal with it.

After being involved in the gravitational turbulence, in just a few minutes, the assault ship was already on the verge of disintegration and shattering under the impact of the tsunami-like meteorite.

There is no essential difference from Lao Shi's mining spacecraft.

Just hold on a little longer.

The sudden boiling of the meteorite sea, as well as the dazzling flash of light that broke into it first, showed the fate of Chen Hu and the assault ship.

The Constantine III exploration ship, which originally followed closely behind but slowed down in time at the last moment, entered the edge of the meteorite sea one step behind Chen Hu.

Here, compared to the assault ship that penetrates deep into the meteorite sea, the meteorite impacts encountered by the exploration ship are greatly reduced, both in frequency and quantity.

At the same time, the special armor made of liquid silver alloy makes the exploration ship quite capable when facing meteorite impacts.

Under the high-power operation of the engine, the exploration ship resisted the influence of gravitational turbulence, stayed steadily at the edge of the meteorite sea, and gradually retreated slowly, leaving its range of influence.

Chen Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Chen Hu's fate was unacceptable to him.

I was still chatting in the communication channel a few minutes ago, and at the same time I had enough confidence in this exploration operation.

The smooth process of going all the way in made them underestimate the dangers contained in the mining area.

What's particularly abominable is that the miners, who were originally regarded as cannon fodder to explore the way, actually took advantage of the natural traps in the mining area to severely deceive the Tianhu caravan.

Chen Wei couldn't figure out where they had the courage to do this and the tacit understanding they showed in the process.

But this does not prevent Chen Wei from making up his mind to look good to these Xia Sans after he leaves the mining area!

No one can escape!

Of the three mining spacecraft leading the way, two slipped away and one was killed. The nine mining spaceships behind them turned around as soon as the incident occurred and scattered in all directions.

The complex astronomical environment in the asteroid belt mining area made them disappear from sight in the blink of an eye.

Although their whereabouts can be captured through the survey radar on the exploration ship, in this complex environment, this capture can only be maintained within a short and limited distance.

And seeing that the nine mining spacecraft didn't look back, it would take less than ten minutes for the exploration ship to no longer be able to monitor them.

In fact, Chen Wei also knew very well, so what if the whereabouts of these mining spacecraft could be monitored.

The Constantine III exploration ship is not equipped with powerful weapons, and it is unable to carry out long-range attacks on these mining spacecraft.

At the moment, the most critical issue is actually whether to continue the exploration mission or to give up and exit the mining area.

To advance or retreat, Chen Pi, as the speaker, needs to make a decision.

There is a reason for progress.

Chen Hu's assault ship, as well as the personnel on board, are important armed support for the Tianhu caravan.

Being destroyed in the mining area today is a heavy blow to the Tianhu Caravan, and will even directly affect the Tianhu Caravan's current suppression of the Kongsha Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, an assault ship of the Tianhu caravan sank in the mining area. This news could not be concealed as the miners fled.

As the situation changes and the news leaks, the Tianhu Caravan's plans for the mining area are likely to be exposed.

By then, Tianhu Caravan may not be able to exclusively enjoy the opportunities in the mining area.

In addition, although there is only one exploration ship left in the fleet, Chen Wei, this Constantine III exploration ship is after all a professional ship purchased with a lot of money. If nothing else, it can complete the exploration task alone. of.

And there are reasons to retreat.

Chen Hu's death and the sinking of the assault ship were important events related to the overall strategy of the Tianhu Caravan.

This news must be told to Chen Long, the boss of Tianhu Caravan, as soon as possible.

In the mining area, it is impossible to establish direct contact with the outside world.

If Chen Wei continues to carry out the exploration mission, Chen Long will undoubtedly not get this news in the short term.

Information disadvantages can sometimes be fatal.

What's more, the current struggle between the Tianhu Caravan and the Kongsha Chamber of Commerce is at a critical juncture that is becoming increasingly fierce.

Chen Wei was weighing the left and right, not mentioning the dilemma.

On Wang Dong's side, after quickly breaking away from the fleet, keeping a long distance from the meteorite sea, and leaving the detection range of the exploration ship, he drove the mining spacecraft to dock on the Pond, which could also be reached by car...

Subsequently, the Pond also began to accelerate away from this airspace.

With the help of the high-quality survey radar on the Pond, Wang Dong has a detection range that is far better than that of the Constantine III exploration ship, and can grasp the overall situation more clearly and intuitively than anyone else.

Wang Dong was not surprised that Chen Hu's assault ship was directly buried by the meteorite sea.

Even though the assault ship is called a military warship, in places like mining areas, it is actually far inferior to civilian ships such as the Constantine III exploration ship.

At least, if it was the Constantine III exploration ship that was swept into the meteorite sea, it would not be as embarrassed as Chen Hu's assault ship.

The armor made of liquid silver alloy can be completely intact when faced with the impact of such a small meteorite.

But Chen Wei seemed to underestimate the danger in the mining area.

Looking at the Constantine III exploration ship slowly retreating at the edge of the meteorite sea, Wang Dong sneered.

Not retreating at full speed, no matter what the reason was, was a mistake for Chen Wei.

I didn’t see that whether it was the two mining spacecraft that escaped from the meteorite sea in front, or the nine mining spacecraft that turned around and ran away early, or even the Pond after picking up Wang Dong, they were constantly moving away from the airspace of the meteorite sea. .

This is not because he is afraid of being chased by Chen Wei's exploration ship.

What they really worry about is the gravitational turbulence hidden under the meteorite sea!

Just like in the sea, the formation of whirlpools always starts from small to large, rather than reaching the peak at the beginning. 2.9 In addition, the expansion of the scope of the vortex's influence is often an exponential process.

The gravitational turbulence in the mining area is also not an isolated baby.

Especially this kind of gravitational turbulence that is originally maintained in dynamic equilibrium. When disturbed, its influence will rapidly expand and affect other gravitational turbulence in the surrounding airspace.

So, just like the formation of an avalanche, one layer after another is relayed, and eventually, all the gravitational turbulence near this airspace will be disturbed!

Looking at Chen Wei's Constantine III exploration ship with pity, Wang Dong sighed with regret.

“No matter how professional a ship is, it is just a waste if it falls into the hands of unprofessional people.

What's more, it's just a defective ship. "

Within the field of view of the auxiliary system, Wang Dong can clearly see.

There are obvious problems with the armor of this Constantine III exploration ship!
