I'm not a cyberpsycho

Chapter 172 Cargo

Li Pan opened his eyes, looked up at the void above his head, and then looked down at the ghost in front of him.

He reached out and put the sword pill, which had been extinguished but still had residual warmth, back into his pocket.

came back……

Well, come back after asking questions clearly. Li Qingyun's side is really life-threatening. He writes papers every day. Li Pan would rather be chased and slashed than take the exam!

But this is too mysterious...

Is this anytime, anywhere really time travel?

Or is it really true, it's just a dream...

So, who is dreaming about?

Li Pan scratched his head, thought for a while, and couldn't figure it out. He simply punched himself in the face, vomited blood, and dug out a tooth.

Then he took the bloody tooth and began to write and draw on the handkerchief.

Draw a symbol.

Not bad, although it is not wearable, cannot be penetrated, and cannot be broken.

But the solution to the barrier was actually explained to him clearly by Teacher Xian.

This is the method of Da Luo Dao. As long as someone guides you and takes the road guide, you can go straight to the land of vacuum.

And he has the road to lead!

The last time Li Qingyun responded to the thunder calamity, he got the talisman from Zheng Jian, the fat man from Zhaixingguan, in exchange for a small returning pill.

So Li Pan recalled, drew the talisman on the 'handkerchief', and then spread it on his face.

Silver key, start!

Handkerchief Knight, transform!

boom!

Almost instantly, a rolling thunder was heard from outside the silent void!

coming!

Facing the vague gravitational force above his head, Handkerchief Knight Li Pan jumped up, soaring at Mach 5, straight into the void.

Endless strong wind, boundless nothingness, and his face was covered with a handkerchief. It was hazy, and he felt that many things that he couldn't see clearly were flying past his face.

In the void, Li Pan chased the bursts of thunder, flying with lightning speed.

The thunder rang for more than ten seconds and then gradually stopped. Li Pan suddenly heard a "dang" sound, his feet hit the ground, and he suddenly jumped out of nothingness and landed on the ground.

After tearing off the bloody handkerchief on his face, Li Pan rubbed his eyes and found that he was still standing in the container.

However, the size of the container this time seems to be almost the same as when observed from the outside cabin.

The cabinet was empty except for a plastic sealed bag that had been simply vacuumed.

Open the sealed bag and find a leather bag inside.

When I opened the leather bag, there was nothing inside.

What! ? Why is there nothing, oh...

Li Pan reacted.

So the thirty-five million monsters are this ‘skin bag’…

Li Pan touched the 'leather bag', picked it up and smelled it.

It stinks so much that it should be genuine leather, but whether it is cowhide or pigskin, I can’t tell at the moment.

I reached in and took it out. The leather pocket was less than half my forearm deep, and it couldn't even reach my elbow. The mouth of the bag also has a leather cord made of the same material, which can be tightened or tied around the waist.

Then it was gone.

That's what it is... So what is this? ?

Sigh... No matter what, I got it.

Li Pan sighed and took out the silver key to open the door.

I hope this crappy thing is really worth spending four silver keys to get...

"What are you doing?"

"Holy crap! Where did you come from!"

Wangshan and the others were about to use the laser cutting machine to cut the containers when they were startled by Li Pan who appeared out of nowhere.

PONY came running over,

"Boss! Your signal just disappeared on the ship for ten minutes! This is in the universe! It's so unscientific!"

Is it only ten minutes...

Li Pan turned to look at the container and thought for a moment.

"Don't touch this cabinet. I have a use for it. Call it a day and return to Hong Kong."

Since the boss gave the order, the veterans didn't care and moved the cutting machine back.

PONY.18 reminded, "But boss, is this a missing MOB container? If it is detected by customs when it is brought back to Hong Kong, and there are other companies' reporting records, you will be fined and arrested."

By the way, that’s true. After all, it was the Queen and the others who robbed the goods from other companies, but they got the ‘leather pockets’ anyway…

Li Pan, "Then throw the cabinet out."

A group of people stared at him with big eyes and small eyes, as if they were lying down all the way and were just kidding us.

Li Pan, "The mission is completed, the balance will be paid, and each person will receive a bonus of 100,000 yuan."

Everyone, "..."

Okay, since you're paying, you can do whatever you want. After all, rich people do whatever they want...

Wangshan suggested, "Since we're all out anyway, why not get ready and get that chain saw?"

Li Pan thought about it for a while. Wouldn't the thief escape empty? Returning empty would attract attention.

"Is there any free port where I can rent storage space and cargo space?"

Wangshan suggested directly,

"Let's go to Ceres. There are a lot of idle PLANT and PORT at CERES. It only costs hundreds of thousands to rent a ship slot. However, with the current market situation, the warehouse may not be easy to rent."

PONY.18, "I have contacted CERES-ORBITPLANT-VIII. There is a warehouse with three docking slots for rent, which can accommodate up to two cruisers and one guard. However, the rental starts from one year, and requires a three-month deposit. The one-time price is 20 million. "

Li Pan agreed, "Buy."

So everyone took action immediately. Turn HAYABUSA toward CERES-ORBITPLANT-VIII.

The asteroid belt has a complex environment, and there is a local customs on Ceres. Of course, it is impossible to be so arrogant as to ask Nana to pilot the ship, and jump into the face of the customs.

Therefore, it is usually through QVN to connect to the transportation system, turn on automatic navigation, turn on PPE, and accelerate along the official acceleration track.

Although it is several hours slower than direct WARP, this high-speed channel can ensure safety, and considering that PPE accelerator is much cheaper than WARPSOUP, a slower speed is actually acceptable.

As for CERES, it is a dwarf planet located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and its mantle contains a large amount of ice water material. Due to its convenient access to ice, it has become one of the most populous strongholds in the asteroid belt and an important gathering place for orbital factory space stations.

On almost all Earths, Ceres is an important local space industrial base. There is also a permanent customs space station here. After the goods from the orbital factory are directly cleared and inspected locally, they can be directly transported to the Jupiter star gate for export, or to Mars and Earth for sale.

However, it is worth noting that although the residents of Ceres have lived in the universe for a long time, strictly speaking they cannot be called 'space people'. Of course, they are not 'earth people', let alone 'sky people'. Neither up nor down, caught between various forces, may be called "space station people", but the more commonly used exclusive title is "miners".

Space miner, asteroid miner, OP miner.

Yes, except for a handful of people who live in the countless space stations in the asteroid belt, they are company dogs who are dispatched, people on the earth who do business, people in the sky from the Customs Administration, and people from the space who come for tourism.

Most of them are miners in the space factory.

The miners are descendants of the early colonists of the universe. Most of them later went bankrupt on Earth, signed a prostitution contract with the company in the name of "exploitation of the universe," and were thrown to the space station to serve as slave laborers.

Yes, today's technology has long made it possible to achieve fully automated, fully intelligent, and fully mechanized production. But there are always some low-end industries, such as primary industries such as interstellar mining, which are cost-oriented.

It's just a simple job of blasting ore, mining, washing ore and sending it to the factory. There is really no need to buy those super expensive drones and bear the high rent of intelligent production systems. A smart industrial system with a patent fee of 50 million yuan a month can be realized with 5,000 yuan a month. Isn’t it great? So until now, those big mining companies are still using human resources.

And because living in a space station belonging to the company, using the company's property to use an elevator, fetch water, or heat a meal, miners must sign long-term employment contracts with the company almost from birth, so almost no one is unemployed. .

Of course, most miners are actually on labor dispatch contracts and are not regular employees of the company. Although they do not have a basic salary and social security, they still have to sign a contract. This is regarded as a debt to rent the company's mining equipment. If the quantity and quality of the ore mined does not meet the standards, money will be deducted. Not to mention medical insurance for accidents, you have to pay compensation to the company. Although the air and water of the space station are discounted to miners, it still takes working hours to redeem them.

But no matter what, this is a stable, serious job with almost no end in sight, right?

When the economic environment is still good, the factories in the asteroid belt are operating at full capacity for 365 days. The miners have endless overtime shifts and can just concentrate on mining. As long as they don't have bad luck, no, forget it. If you lose an arm or a leg in an accident, you can just wear a prosthetic body and continue working. After all, you will still have a stable income.

So no matter how bad the wages and benefits are, how bad the working environment is, and how crowded the space station is, the miners still endure it.

However, after the war in 0791, as the products from other worlds dumped from the Jupiter Star Gate occupied the market, severely damaging the local industry, the local production of Takamagahara was severely hit.

Not only factories on Earth have closed down, but CERES's orbital factories also lack orders and are gradually becoming unsustainable.

In this case, life for space miners becomes very difficult, no, it is simply unbearable.

The prices of various ores have hit new lows, the prices of air, water and food have doubled day by day, and the rental and oil costs of mining equipment have become increasingly unaffordable. More and more miners are beginning to realize that they live in a small hell.

But so what?

Due to living in the space environment for a long time, their physiques have not adapted to the gravity environment, and most of them have high debts. They need to borrow money from companies to buy oxygen, food and water while working, and they have no money to pay for the transportation to the earth. Ticket, start over.

Moreover, because he signed a prostitution contract with the company early, he did not have the opportunity to serve in the military academy. All he received was outdated training on how to sail a ship and mine. Uncompetitive in the labor market. There is less and less chance to escape the fate of all descendants becoming miners.

Therefore, more and more miners began to become smugglers and pirates...

"Alarm! Alarm! Alarm!"

The red light suddenly turned on. If his boots hadn't been sucked to the floor, Li Pan, who was squatting in the pit, would have almost bumped into the door.

"What the hell is going on!"

"Boss! We were stopped by bubbles!"

"Oh shit? Bubbles? Jump blockers?? There are also roadblocks and robberies on the space highway! Is there any other method?"

The answer is that people are so poor that they don’t care about your rules and laws when they break through the bottom line.

The space miners are not addicts of the Night City. They just throw stones at each other every day. They have guns and ships in their hands, and they are born to be astronauts. Although theoretically he has no authority to serve, he has always been a mercenary servant army, serving as cannon fodder and support force for the fleet. He is also a mercenary favored by the company's security fleet.

Of course, when it comes to bankruptcy, people will not be stupid enough to abide by the law and pay fines. If they are separated, they will be thieves, and if they are together, they will be bandits. It will be highlighted that someone who has money can make money, but if he has no money, he can make money.

Ahem, in short, the commonly used engines today are Hyperdrive, PPE pulse, and SF synthetic fuel.

There are almost three types of equipment used to target interference engines.

Prevents fleets from warping to disruptor field generators near coordinates.

A remote jump blocker that directionally destroys WARPCELL and interferes with the operation of the PPE engine within a certain distance.

There are also lag-winding tractor beams that literally slow your ship down.

The situation we encountered this time was basically all three.

The pirates deployed disruptive force fields in advance on the official acceleration track, and at the same time, the ships that were ambushing around them swarmed out and locked HAYABUSA with jump blockers and lag-winding tractor beams. At the same time, various ECM, information interference, and energy loss DEBUFFs come up.

At the same time, all kinds of mines, missiles, rail guns, and laser cannons came up against each other.

"My boat!"

Li Pan quickly rushed into the cockpit,

"How's the battle damage?"

PONY looked at the control panel and counted, "Well... probably three bars of electricity were knocked out."

Li Pan, "How much is three bars of electricity? In game terms, what percentage of HP has been lost?"

PONY, "Well, let's take a look... Oh, okay, the impact just now caused a burden of 3% higher than the deviation value on the shield battery. Now the host has recharged it through intelligent adjustment and adaptive energy distribution. Woke up."

Li Pan, "..."

Nana climbed out of the LCL bubble and wiped her face.

"Don't worry too much. HAYABUSA is Takamagahara's latest reconnaissance cruiser. It is a standard fifth-level warship and can support seven mid-slot expansions. Although we did not buy offensive weapons and equipment, the shield capacitor expansion can be fully stacked. "

Li Pan, "..."

Wangshan saw that he still didn't understand, "No blood was lost, it was all blocked by the shield."

Li Pan wiped his cold sweat and said, "I was shocked. What should I do now?"

Nana shrugged and brought up the star scan and optical simulation, "Call the police."

Li Pan was speechless at the sight of it. There were several large and small escort-class boats, some of which were shuttles and landing bays. There were seventy or eighty ships in total, which could be considered a 'full fleet'.

A swarm of people buzzed around like flies, using small ship-borne weapons and all kinds of outdated homemade repair and second-hand equipment to fight against each other.

Unfortunately it's of no use.

Judging from the surveillance, the pirates smashed the messy things over and hit the blue eggshell-like light curtain. The laser rays seemed to hit the mirror and were deflected and refracted at a large angle.

Plasma ion clusters created ripples on the light screen, and the scattered ions spread out from the protective shield like fireworks, without causing any actual impact.

The high-speed kinetic energy projectile was decelerated extremely, and finally hit the alloy deck with a clang, which could only make a sound, and could not even knock off the outermost layer of wear-resistant coating.

As for missiles and rockets, they were targeted and locked by the activated PTP rail gun from a distance of more than ten kilometers, and were shot into pieces by point-to-point rapid fire.

So how can I put it... This kind of pirate-level attack is almost equivalent to a mosquito bite. Probably the only harm done was being polluted by the noise of the attack alarm.

Nana suggested,

“In accordance with the rules of space navigation, we marked the navigation beacon, uploaded it to the transportation system, reported pirate harassment, called the customs fleet for support, and applied for insurance claims.

The energy level and interference frequency band of these pirate ships' transition blockers are insufficient to have a long-term impact on our PPE. Now the intelligent assistance has detected the opponent's equipment model.

I estimate that the opponent's ship's capacitance will continue to interfere for up to three minutes. After three minutes, we activate ECCM, overload acceleration, directly escape from the range of the interference field, and then activate stealth, and we can get rid of them.

Of course, you can also fight back. Radar scanning found that these civilian ships are not equipped with shield systems. If you increase the overload of the mining ray gun, you can blow them up directly. "

Shield, well, the so-called shipboard shield system, also known as the energy deflection stance, is the blue eggshell-like light curtain that distorts the gravitational field through various magnetic energies and plasma winds, and deflects the energy in the universe. Various cosmic rays, super radiation, plasma storm equipment.

Ships that have reached the cruise level have to sail far across the star sea, cross star gates, sail in border galaxies, and deal with various extremely harsh cosmic environments, which naturally requires specialized defense systems.

What's more, military technology must be able to withstand direct fire from at least the same level of ship-borne energy main guns. It would be unscientific if this place could be broken by pirates.

Li Pan couldn't understand it for a moment, "They came out to rob without even putting on a shield?"

Wangshan rolled his eyes,

"You think that the shield system is very expensive. The star maps in the solar system have been verified. If there is no need for deep space voyages, there is no need to install it. And how do you equip your ship? What kind of fully adaptable and targeted expansion backlash? It’s ridiculous to have the full increase.”

Li Pan, "Oh...how much did we spend on this set?"

Nana, "Isn't this the contact information you gave us? We asked Ms. Lin from TSC to make it for us. She said she wanted to apologize to you and put together a preferential package, with half discount and half sale, which works out to a little over 80 million. Bar."

Li Pan, "I'll do it...well...that's okay..."

Yes, even though it has zero attack, at least its invisibility and defense are full.

Looking at the flies around them, they probably knew something was wrong.

After all, those that usually use high-speed automatic navigation are whale-like unmanned automatic cargo ships. In the past, these ships may have carried bulk cargo, ore materials, and it was not worth the risk.

But with the recent market conditions, there is a high probability of getting some high-end goods, which attracted a large group of them to take the risk this time.

But who would have known that a fighting falcon jumped in, which was also a military cruiser. It could not be caught or locked. At that moment, those with sharp eyesight turned the bow of the ship and fled in all directions.

Li Pan looked at the way these people were slowing down, turning around and running away in embarrassment. He couldn't help but think of himself who had been running out of tricks in the past two days, but in vain. For a moment, his interest was greatly reduced, and he waved his hand.

"Call the police and go. I'll make tens of millions every minute. I don't have time to waste swatting flies."

Nana also nodded, controlled HAYABUSA, accelerated, and sped away.
