Him and their stars

On the first day of May in the year 832 of the Community Calendar, all the officers and men of the Thirteenth Fleet had just finished their breakfast today. They have returned to their posts and are waiting for the next order from the headquarters.

In fact, the fleet's scheduled actual combat exercises should have ended as early as yesterday. Now, it should be possible to return to New Lushun for repairs and supplies.

But for some reason, everyone on the ship felt that they still had some important tasks to complete. This may be because the officers' attitude infected them, and many people naturally started to think wildly.

For someone who is more important than an actual combat exercise, wouldn't it be better to remove the last two words?

Commodore Eleanor Bonaparte, who was sitting on the Aurora, had just finished breakfast and had now returned to the bridge to sit on the ship. She just asked: "Is there any new news from the Throne?"

"At the time of the last communication, they had arrived at the Cold Mountain 217 system. Everything is going well so far." the adjutant replied.

She showed a sinister smile, picked up the microphone and began to address the entire army. The first sentence was: "Very good! My soldiers, are you ready to kick the butts of Cat and Birdman?"

The entire fleet was silent for a moment. Even officers at all levels who had already received the notice to prepare for battle felt agitated at this time, but they didn't know what to say right away.

"A month ago, we just had a big battle with the plunderers, and we were exhausted and exhausted. But a month later, each of us is ready to perform our duties! Now, it is also time to let those lackeys of a certain country who wantonly invade our country, Learn what it means to be polite!" Eleanor said loudly: "I hope that when the first concert of 'Elf of Stardust' in the New World opens in New Lushun, you loyal listeners can hold your chest. Tell her, Miss Selena, we have just returned in triumph!"

It was only at this time that all the soldiers in the army cheered loudly, and they just had to spray some hot air with their noses.

"Then, the captains obey the orders and prepare to jump according to the original plan! Take the Aurora as the lead, followed by the Lexington and Saratoga!"

Along with this, on two large aircraft carriers and four light aircraft carriers, similar orders echoed in the cabins.

"Pilots board the plane immediately! Pilots board the plane immediately! Everyone board the plane immediately!"

Probably because they had gone through several days of actual combat drills before, the entire Thirteenth Fleet was still in a tense combat state, but the preparations were completed in half an hour.

By 9:25 a.m. on May 1, the Aurora and the two armored aircraft carriers had crossed the gravity well and entered the galaxy where the combined fleets of the two countries were located.

Until this time, the Bakvi bird people and Catai cat people had not even received any news of any changes in the Earthling fleet ahead. They just formed a relatively loose queue step by step. By the time the Thirteenth Fleet broke through the gravity well, most of the crew were not even at their posts.

If it were really an actual battle, all the prerequisites for a perfect raid would have been met.

Of course, Eleanor knew that the test for herself and the fleet officers had only begun now.

At this moment, the fighter jets roaring out of the aircraft carrier even felt that they could see the panic expressions of the opponent's crew members.

The "White Devil Team" composed of Li Baolu, his girlfriend and two other friends with unimportant names has stood out from the friendly forces. In his eyes, the loose formation opposite the enemy was full of gaps that could be penetrated. If it were really an actual battle, he could easily break through the firepower network of the enemy fleet, and then smash the anti-matter mine hanging under the belly of the aircraft onto the opponent's flagship.

By that time, I will really be a famous pilot known in the universe!

He took a deep breath and activated the light wing system as planned. On both sides of the four new "White Devil Fighters", wings of light suddenly spread out, as if they had transformed into battle angels.

At this time, Lieutenant Li Baolu had already removed his finger from the launch button. Their warships pounced on the combined fleets of the two countries like arrows of light, but when they cut into the opponent's security circle, they rose from the parallel line like ferocious but agile sea eagles. , turn to return home.

Li Baolu decided to act like a real man and not look back at the explosion, but instead heard a communication from his girlfriend, Lieutenant Martha Daken.

"Baolu, look! Their ship has collided!"

Just after 10 noon on the same day, the Throne was traveling quietly on the branch channel leading to Edgeland 16. At this time, this green-skinned dreadnought, which had been diligently maintained by the entire crew (and arbitrarily modified by Xiao Hui), had indeed maximized its theoretical cruising speed. In just three days, nearly half of the voyage has been completed, at least one third faster than planned.

It was roughly within the scope of the source wave generator that the Throne had not left yet. At this time, Yu Lian had already received what was happening there immediately.

The Thirteenth Fleet made an unethical attack on the combined fleets of the two countries. Although it was not very harmful, it was quite insulting. It could be regarded as making up for the previous "intrusion" of the other country's national border. When I came back, I even made a lot of money.

This style of retribution is indeed very senior.

Of course, the senior sister is fierce, but she is not reckless or crazy, and she is not capable of walking alone. Yu Lian wouldn't believe it if this operation didn't get the tacit approval of the "Turtle of the Outer Ring" who was in charge of New Port Arthur.

The only regret is that I am no longer there. If so, the eight orbital main guns at the front of the Throne could simply discharge their capacitors at the fleets of the two countries in front, which might make the Cathay Cats and the Bakvi Birds suffer even more.

Did a destroyer and a light cruiser collide just now? If he were there, at least the cruiser and the aircraft carrier would start to collide, and they would never just be alone.

Everyone is doing what they should do, the senior sister is looking for a place, Feifei is filming a movie, and even the dull little singer has transformed into a heroine, and everything is going well. I have to work hard here too!

Yu Lian encouraged himself and focused on the small meeting in front of him.

On the tray placed in front of him, there was already a three-dimensional holographic projection of the spaceship.

It was that skull... well, it was the structural diagram of the ancient scientific research ship that Xiao Hui had restored to himself.

This is a ship with an overall oval shape. It does not look intimidating, but the lines are indeed very round and smooth, making it look like a pampered lady. Yu Lian felt that this kind of ship would be quite suitable as a hospital ship or a cruise ship, but it just didn't look like a battleship or a work ship.

However, Xiao Hui reminded him again and again: "Don't have any doubt. If we really want to fight, this thing will not be a big problem if it wants to directly hit and sink your Titan. If I weren't sure that her shipboard AI was basically incapacitated, I would just The remaining primitive defense function will not let you go."

"But you will spread this star map, right?" Yu Lian asked: "As for whether someone else commits suicide, it's none of your business, right?"

Xiao Hui was not ashamed but proud and said proudly: "This is natural."

"So, those ancient treasure maps with skulls on them were actually distributed by you, right?"

"Only half at most. You have to believe in the ability of your civilization to explore itself."

In short, Xiao Hui has said so much to everyone, but the core meaning is that this scientific research ship is very powerful and must not be taken lightly.

"I will find a way to help you, but whether you can penetrate her outer wall depends on your leadership and your crew. This is also a test!"

Of course, even if the outer wall is broken through, there is still a lot of work behind.

Therefore, Yu Lian could only draw several available infiltration routes based on the structural diagram of the ship, and handed them over to Master Baian, Black Hero, and Xiao Hui himself for review. After all, it is difficult for ordinary crew members to know about the existence of an ancient nanorobot. So, when it came time to plan the final infiltration route, only the four of them participated.

This is definitely not a small group.

After all, if the guards in that ancient scientific research ship are really as powerful as Xiao Hui said, then the only ones who can board the ship to fight are Master Cheap, Earl Black Moon, and Yu Lian who can make up the numbers. . In addition, among the other psykers on the ship, Ina is naturally used as the gunner's tool, and the twin sisters are the array tool.

"With them here, if we really can't go any further, they might even take us back."

These girls are very reliable. But at least in this battle, they were really supporting.

"Your stealth route is also feasible." Xiao Hui glanced at the invisible Earl of Black Moon next to him intentionally or unintentionally: "The only thing you have to pay attention to is not to be intercepted in the outer cabin of the ship. Then The main body of the ship actually only has the central laboratory and database, and the remaining outer cabins are just pendants. With the remaining functions of the current AI, it is possible to make an extreme judgment and directly cut off the outer cabins. "

When Yu Lian looked at the seamless oval ship, it was really hard to imagine that it was filled with pendants.

"So, Gray Fairy, what about the agents inside? Are they also obeying the instructions of that AI?" Lan Jiufeng said, stroking his beard.

Yu Lian has always felt that Master Cheap's words are always incompatible with the painting style of this universe, but this time it is the most dramatic one.

However, it was obvious that Xiao Hui was very satisfied with the name "Grey Fairy", which was very inconsistent with the style of the universe era. He showed a sweet smile on the spot and said: "They do have a subordinate relationship, but they do belong to different AI system. The purpose of the defenders is to protect the safety of the ship, and will even take the initiative to eliminate all potential threats. If there is a conflict between the two mechanisms, their own judgment will take precedence."

"There's actually no fight!" Yu Lian sighed.

"This is why even a fully automated scientific research ship must have several crew members with higher authority." Xiao Hui said: "Of course, the main reason is because there is no AI as smart as my sister. "

"You are not an AI, but an ancient fairy spirit." Earl Black Moon said with a smile: "You are willing to stand on our side, which is already a great blessing for this generation."

Who says thieves can't be nice and obedient? Isn’t this a lot of quantity?

"I like to hear this." Xiao Hui said with a smile: "It's just that there are still a few existences like me, but not all of them are kind fairies like me. If we have a chance to meet again in the future, we have to stay. A thoughtful person."

"Oh?" Yu Lian was immediately curious. Then, before asking, she pressed the delicate jade finger simulated by the nanomachine to her lips again: "This is also prohibited!"

Then don't say anything in the first place! The riddle robot will eat the black hole for me!

Earl Black Moon shrugged nonchalantly and smiled.

"Then, let's find a way to lure out all those agency guards." Lan Jiufeng stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to have absorbed all the divine light.

Xiao Hui seemed to understand the other party's meaning immediately: "Then you must convince those guards that you are a threat to the ship itself. Even more threatening than this dreadnought."

"You can try it." Master said.

"After they are lured out, where will they be taken? Although they are machine operators and their AI skills have been greatly damaged, they are not stupid. Once they discover that the ship is missing, they will all return to defense." Xiao Hui said .

"Then hold them back."

"Only by yourself?" Xiao Hui looked Lan Jiufeng up and down: "You are indeed very powerful. Even in the last civilized era, you can be regarded as the best among people."

In other words, even if he is an enlightened person, the Eighth Ring is also a master? Yu Lian thought.

"Don't worry, although I am a wanton fanatic, I am not an ignorant and reckless person." Lan Jiufeng said with a smile: "When we get there, friends will naturally arrive to help us."

"Friends who are here to help you?" Yu Lian was startled: "Aren't you talking about the Black Hero?"

"Old friend Hei Yue is my master's life-and-death friend, so why use the word 'assist in boxing'?" The master said with a smile: "Besides, my teacher never said that he was the only one who came to help with boxing!"

On the same day, just after 20 o'clock standard time, in the middle section of the New World Highway, the Iris Cross System, where the Combined Fleet Camping Headquarters was located, finally received an urgent message from the front.

"There is a conflict between the Earthling fleet and the outpost fleet?" Duke Sadolan put down the cane in his hand and looked at the adjutant who reported to him.

Soback, who was also in the training room, quickly took the opportunity to distance himself from the Duke, with an eager expression on his face: "Fired? Are there any casualties?"

The adjutant looked at Soback, who had a bruised nose and face, and tried hard to maintain an impeccable official poker face, and continued to report: "There was no direct exchange of fire."

Just as Soback breathed a sigh of relief, the other party continued: "Actually, it was the Earth's fleet that suddenly jumped into the NR18 galaxy where the outpost fleet was located. Because the other party was in a war posture, the Bakvi and Katai people overreacted, We wanted to deploy the fleet as soon as possible, but there was a collision during the operation of the ships.”

"Those who participated in this expedition to the New World should be elites trained by the Catai and Bakvi people, right? Why do you behave so amateurishly?" The Duke sneered, not hiding his gloating.

The lieutenant colonel's adjutant had also worked for His Excellency the Duke for five or six years. Naturally, he knew very well that the gambling house was not happy, but really angry. The next step was probably to kill someone.

For a minister of the Imperial Privy Council, the head of the Astral Knights, and an imperial marshal, executing one or two generals in battle is really a traditional skill. Such a style will never be polite at all because the target is a cat or a bird, and may even be a little crueler.

Considering the fruit plate sent by Prince Ketai and the bearer check sent by General Bakvi, the adjutant felt that he should be a conscientious official who would do things after receiving money, so he explained seriously: "Actually, they ate the earth. This is actually understandable.”

"Oh?" The Duke finally restrained his sneer and motioned to the adjutant to explain in detail.
