Counterfeit Hero

The dock of the Bearded Pirate Base is right next to the renovated port of the space station.

The entire dock is actually based on two large barges, plus two huge horseshoe-shaped automatic maintenance racks. It is connected to the cantilever arm of the space station through three automatic suspension elevators and a large landing gear.

The pirates wandering in the universe have amazing adaptability and creativity in some aspects. Their living environment determines that they cannot have anything too formal. Everything can only be based on ready-made equipment.

This shipyard also inherits the traditions and skills of pirates. Although it looks simple, its function is not much worse than the maintenance dock in Lelei domestic spaceport.

The shipyard can not only repair and modify four warships at the same time. Moreover, since it is composed of movable parts, there is no limit on the size of the ship. Even if it comes to an aircraft carrier, as long as the corresponding parts and technology are available, the barge can be disassembled and remodeled, and it can still be repaired and assembled.

Simple and practical.

Helen stood on the highest inspection platform of the shipyard and took photos intently.

The No. 1 sub-shot is facing the tall ladder-shaped maintenance rack, which is crowded with maintenance personnel and maintenance mechas. They are working nervously and busily. The sound of banging and roaring was endless. Cargo mechas and micro cargo trucks shuttled back and forth, delivering huge parts or micro containers to the cargo platform of the maintenance rack.

Shot No. 2 shows the processing area in the innermost part of the dock, which is also extremely lively. Metal component forming machines, high-energy furnaces, precision lathes, cutting machines, welders and other large and small machines are lined up. There were roaring sounds and dazzling lights one after another.

The main camera is always fixed on the four ship positions at the dock. In a horseshoe-shaped boat. The four shapeless ships stood in groups of two and two, standing quietly. The huge reciprocating gyrator moved back and forth beside them. Under the command of the computer, it constantly adjusted the angle of the automatic assembly robotic arm under the hull.

In the middle of the dock is a square electronic screen with four sides. On the blue screen, the ship's data and transformation diagram are displayed next to each ship position. There are dozens of small touch screens, too. Countless engineers in white clothes are crowding in front of the screen, nervously checking information and data.

Is this the lifeless and dilapidated pirate base a few days ago?

Helen's eyes never left shot three. In the lens. Fatty was driving a maintenance mecha without a canopy. Follow his smooth control. A simple maintenance mecha was quickly installing an array radar on the bow of a battleship.

The radar was removed from the "Bolan Rose". A battleship, but not the [Bolan Rose].

Helen raised her head, glanced at Chekov secretly beside her, and then bit her lip.

Every time I see Chekov's livid face. Helen couldn't help but laugh.

The captain of the Federation destroyer is now in name only - the fat man demolished the entire "Bolan Rose"!

There are four ships parked in the current dock, one of which is the [Berland Rose]. But. No one would have recognized her had they not been looking at the ship. Chekhov's most cherished rose. Now only a solitary skeleton remains. There are still some people inside, looking at Chekov's fire-breathing eyes. Dismantling the bottom tank partition piece by piece...

No wonder Chekov was distressed. This is a new federal destroyer worth nearly 700 million yuan. Completed and put into service. Less than a year! No one would be able to stand it if he were the captain.

But. It needs to be dismantled. In the words of the fat man, if you want to be a pirate, the [Bram Wengui] cannot be exposed - piloting Leleidi's new destroyer to rob, that is courting death! I'm worried that I can't find anyone! So... Chekhov, you'd better express your condolences.

At that time, when the fat man said this, he almost started a fight.

Not only Chekov, who was furious, didn't understand, but everyone in the mainland, including a group of pirates, didn't understand.

This is a warship! In this pirate base are the most powerful ships. Dismantle this ship, and use those armed merchant ships or plundering ships to rob warships?

That's not called seeking death, that's called committing suicide.

Chekov banged the table and challenged the fat man: "Whoever dares to touch my ship, I will fight him to the death!"

The fat man turned his head, his eyelids were drooped, and his eyes were squinted like Garfield's in the cartoon.

Helen thought, biting her lips even though it hurt, she couldn't hold back her smile.

As the words linger in my ears, the number "Bolan Rose" has become a skeleton. I didn’t see how Chekov fought against the fat man.

"Why are you laughing..." Chekov glanced at Helen hatefully: "Didn't that fat man swear to build a super battleship for me that I have never seen in my life? I will let him touch my ship?"

"Super battleship?" Helen looked dumbfounded as she watched the fat man driving the maintenance mecha jumping up and down the battleship - can that thing be called a battleship, or a super battleship?

Calling that thing a ship was too much for Helen. That's just a pile of junk! She doubted whether this thing could be moved after it was built!

But it was this pile of junk that had already caused everyone to go crazy when Fatty took out a construction plan. The mechanics, engineers, mechanics on board the [Bolan Wengui], the mechanical experts among the trainees selected from the country, the ship experts, the trainees, and even the pirates who were just released and looked down upon, also Follow the fuss.

Next, the project begins. [Bolan Rose] was pulled into the dock and dismantled in three blows. Along with it, there were two armed merchant ships, and the shell of the [Crazy] class cruiser that was eliminated by the Tatanian military and was photographed by the Red Beard Pirates in Freeport.

Helen couldn't figure out why this fat man had such a soft spot for rags. Not to mention driving a shabby mecha before, but now as a pirate, he actually managed to build such a shabby battleship.

Not to mention the [Berland Rose], the two [Taylor Queen] class armed merchant ships. And that [Crazy]-class cruiser only had a shell and some basic equipment, at least it seemed at first. It's also neat and tidy.

Why did the fat man piece it all together when he got it into his hands, and it turned into a pile of miserable things?

Is the ground in ruins?

"Wait!" Chekov gritted his teeth next to Helen: "If this guy dismantles my ship and can't come up with any tricks, I will dismantle him too!"

Chekhov gave a stern voice, turned around and left.

Helen blinked and watched him leave, understanding in her heart. This federal fleet captain really couldn't stand it anymore. No matter how much the mechanics, ship experts and the fat man talk about it, the fact is before us - it is just a pile of junk!

A battleship called the [Magic Cube]. Parked quietly at No. 3 berth.

Barbarossa directed his men to place the newly modified parts in the processing area one by one on the maintenance rack by number.

While commanding, Barbarossa looked back from time to time to look at this new type of warship that had not yet taken shape.

No one could know the shock in his heart. If before that, he had found the idea of ​​a fat man becoming a pirate laughable. If he was just forced to join the Lere people, then at this moment, Barbarossa was completely shocked by what he saw.

In addition to shock and fear, Barbarossa's heart. There is still a trace of uncontrollable excitement.

He never thought that there was someone in this world who was more suitable to be a pirate than him! That fat man. He is simply a born bandit. from this ship. He has already captured the essence of pirates. Gathered together - the pirate ship, this is the real pirate ship!

Comes and goes like the wind. Gathering and scattering are unpredictable!

Looking at the dilapidated battleship in front of him, Barbarossa had to admit that the fat man was a madman and a genius!

As a pirate leader who has lived in space almost all his life, dealt with all kinds of ships, traveled to and from the most dangerous waterways every day, and walked between life and death, Barbarossa could tell with just one glance. The power of this battleship that has never appeared before.

Speaking of which, Barbarossa can be considered half a naval engineer. The high-speed plundering ships of the Red Beard Pirates were all modified little by little based on the blueprints he bought based on the pirate's fighting methods. However, he never imagined that the battleship could be modified in this way.

In front of me is a multi-hull cruiser!

If you tell me, those ship experts in Freeport will probably laugh. They will sneer and ridicule: "If the combat ship is made into a multi-body vessel, the designer's brain must have been farted!"

Multihulls are not uncommon in this era. Both commercial ships and exploration ships have multihulls. The most common of these are tugs and barges.

Most of these ships are catamarans and trimarans. Ships with more than four hulls are relatively rare. The reason why such a multi-hull ship is made is that there is really no need to waste money on the structure of this type of ship, and the second is to obtain enough space or platform for the ship.

The weaknesses of multihulls are slow speed, large targets, and inflexible steering. Therefore, this type of ship usually sails on the main waterway, serving as a heavy-duty merchant ship or a base camp for exploration teams. Not to mention tugs and barges.

Such a ship cannot be used as a combat ship.

However, the multi-hull ship in front of me is actually a six-hull ship.

Its structure is not a parallel six-body structure, but an overlapping six-body structure. In other words, on the surface, this is a cruiser-sized battleship, with the bow, hull, and stern integrated into one. Its six main bodies are brought together.

In Barbarossa's view, this can no longer be called a creation. This is simply a complete subversion of the shipbuilding industry and the piracy world! Have you ever seen a Rubik's Cube? This ship is a giant alien Rubik's Cube!

When fighting, it is a cruiser, its shape, volume, its armor, energy cover, its main thruster and steering thruster. All indicate its identity as a cruiser.

However, when escaping, or when necessary, this so-called cruiser is no longer a cruiser. Rather, it is a main ship that is slightly smaller than a destroyer and five auxiliary ships, larger or smaller! It is capable of catapult splitting within a second!

Others don't understand the benefits of this division, but Barbarossa, who has been a pirate all his life, understands it best. When pirates encounter a more powerful enemy, running away is the most practical escape rule in the universe. In nebulae, asteroid belts, and various obstacle areas that require maneuvering to avoid, a cruiser will never be as nimble as these six battleships.

What's more important is that Fatty has fully utilized all the functions of this ship. Not only did he give the ship an extremely tattered coat, he also removed the interface and installed a large number of light effect devices and props.

Barbarossa still remembers how everyone was stunned when they saw the computer simulation.

On the virtual screen, the cruiser fell apart, with fire and explosions. The tattered hull split into large and small wrecks rolling in all directions during the explosion. During this period, limbs, parts, and even computers, tables, beds, pillows, quilts on ships were continuously thrown into space...

***, how did this fat guy come up with this?

In the eyes of the enemy, the ship was destroyed. Next, there are nothing more than two situations. One is that the enemy continues on the road, and then six wolf-like warships suddenly launch a sneak attack on the enemy's most critical main thruster... The other is that under the strong threat of the enemy, everyone turns and rolls around. Lose.

The ones that can defeat cruisers head-on are always large ships. When the [Rubik's Cube] splits, the few minutes the enemy is in a daze are enough to run away at full speed. These large warships cannot catch up with the split high-speed ships no matter what. If they are in the obstacle area, then there is no way to even think about it.

In a large-scale battle, the [Rubik's Cube], which is expensive to build, may not be of much use. However, there is nothing more suitable than being a pirate!

This is the true coming and going like the wind, gathering and dispersing, impermanence, swarming up and dispersing in a rush! As long as he didn't provoke a large military fleet, Barbarossa couldn't think of any shortcomings of this ship in front of the pirates, smugglers and some small warships in the free world.

That fat man, have you been a pirate before? .
