Mecha Journey

It wasn't until he stood by the porthole with a high-energy laser rifle and watched the spacecraft outside shooting red laser beams into the distance that Yang Mu truly believed that his fleet had really encountered a star thief.

Such a bloody plot actually happened to me.

Due to the limitation of the size of the portholes, Yang Mu could not clearly see what was happening on the battlefield ahead, but he looked at the groups of fighter jets flying out of two large cargo ships not far away, and the bright lights that flashed from time to time on the edges of the portholes. , Yang Mu understood that things were really serious now.

It was obvious that the fleet was already at war with the star thieves. Looking at the intensity, the incoming star thieves gang was probably quite big.

But there is no time for Yang Mu to lament these things. Thousands of people on this large cargo ship were all mobilized at this time. Because Yang Mu received weapons and equipment in the maintenance room, he was also added to the team and assigned Go and guard the important entrance of a cargo ship to prevent star thieves from boarding the ship.

In order to ensure that the hijacked merchant ships and cargo are intact, these star thieves generally use two methods. One is to directly smash the engine of the spacecraft, forcibly hijack the entire spacecraft, and then directly announce the ransom required.

Another option is to directly break into the spacecraft and take hostages. Although there will be casualties, a higher ransom can be demanded, and the goods inside can also be resold.

But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, they can successfully enter the spacecraft.

Therefore, the entrances throughout the spacecraft have become the focus of protection for the crew.

Before that, the spacecraft had cut off the power supply and the maintenance of the gravity system inside the spacecraft. Part of the reason was to increase the difficulty for the star thieves to board the ship, but the more important reason was that the spacecraft needed to provide enough power for the engine and weapon systems. energy.

In the universe, laser weapons and ion weapons are the main means of attacking spacecraft, but the latter are controlled by the military. The only self-defense weapons that ordinary spacecraft can use are laser cannons, but the emission of laser cannons requires a huge amount of energy, and the spacecraft needs to carry out energy control.

Yang Mu helped build a temporary position at the corner of an entrance and carefully watched the entrance in front.

At the same time, in the asteroid belt that suddenly appeared outside the spacecraft, the fighter planes driven by the star thieves had already exchanged fire with the forward cargo ship escort.

…

"Haha, brothers, kill their escorts first and knock their teeth. These guys are useless!"

In a bow fighter, the star thief leader wearing an oxygen mask shook the two beards around his mouth, his eyes flashed, and he laughed wantonly.

"That's right, boss, the military counselor's idea is really great. We have been coveting this piece of fat for so long, and we can finally take a bite!"

"This channel will be our territory from now on!"

In the fighter channel, other star thieves echoed one after another, screaming and roaring with excitement, as if the victory in front of them was within easy reach.

Although the fighter planes driven by these star thieves are not top-notch, they are all very good models. Many of the fighter planes are still shining with paint, and they are obviously brand-new fighters that have just been put into use.

The fleet fighters that had arrived at the battlefield were the first to open fire. The laser beams shot out, but were basically blocked by the floating asteroids around them.

These asteroids became a defensive barrier for the star thieves at this time. In the previous salvo of the fleet, most of the laser beams were blocked by these asteroids.

The Star Thieves had a defensive barrier. Facing the fleet fighters flying over, they had an advantage in both aircraft type and battlefield. So soon, the fleet's already more fragile aircraft models were instantly destroyed by the Star Thieves. The fighter planes are destroyed flexibly.

It wasn't until the fleet's mechas hurriedly arrived and entered the battle that the defeat was finally stopped.

But not long after, another team of fighter jets suddenly appeared behind the fleet. They were all brand-new models. By climbing up from the bottom of the fleet, they bypassed the tight protection of the spacecraft and protected themselves against mines at close range. When Da finally discovered them, they had already rushed directly into the fleet.

Just like a team of swan geese that encountered strong winds and were attacked by falcons, a few sparks suddenly exploded in the entire fleet.

This was a blow to the spacecraft without a protective shield.

…

"Who here knows how to use a double-barreled laser cannon?! Raise your hand if you know how!"

Yang Mu, who was squatting at the corner of a cabin road, was staring at the entrance in front of him attentively. However, the team leader behind him seemed to have received some news and suddenly spoke loudly to everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one raised their hands. The team leader was about to give up, but saw a hand slowly raised, and a man in protective clothing turned around, revealing a delicate face.

"Captain, I am a military cadet, I know how to do it!"

It was Yang Mu who turned around. The squad leader was a little surprised when he saw this young face and couldn't believe it. But when he heard that he was a military academy student, the squad leader felt happy.

Regardless of what he said, the squad leader pulled Yang Mu over, then pulled over another crew member and asked him to take Yang Mu to the designated laser turret.

Yang Mu floated forward with the crew, his eyes scanning the portholes around him from time to time, but he saw sparks of light flashing outside. Although he couldn't hear the explosion, Yang Mu also noticed that something was wrong.

Because just now, the side of a spacecraft outside the porthole was hit by a laser beam, and sparks suddenly exploded.

Could it be that the star thieves have broken through the fleet's defense line and infiltrated into the fleet?

This thought flashed through Yang Mu's mind, and he suddenly felt that the situation was not good. The battle had reached this point, and the fleet was obviously at a disadvantage.

Could it be that this group of star thieves are so powerful?

But Yang Mu didn't care to think about this carefully. The crew member had already taken Yang Mu into the ascending elevator and directly came to a turret located on the top of the spacecraft.

Coming here, Yang Mu finally knew why he called for a new gunner.

At this time, drops of blood were floating in the entire fort. In the corner of the fort, a person was lying on the floor, and a person next to him was holding medical gel to block the wound.

But in a weightless environment, the healing effect is not obvious.

And judging from the appearance of this wounded man, it was probably because the impact hit him somewhere in the fort, and his head was bleeding.

The crew member who was treating the wounded saw Yang Mu and the others coming in, and immediately said to them.

"Which of you is the gunner, go up and control the laser cannon, and the other one will help me take the wounded to the medical room!"

Yang Mu and the crew member who came with him were stunned for a moment, but they reacted immediately. Yang Mu quickly walked to the gun position, and another crew member went to help transport the wounded.

Seeing Yang Mu sitting on the gun position, the crew member who was covering his wound was stunned for a moment, but he still said to Yang Mu seriously immediately.

"When firing the laser cannon, remember to hold the pedal and never open the waist lock."

Yang Mu nodded seriously to show that he understood. Then he sat down, fastened the buckle on his waist, and used a towel to absorb the blood beads floating around. He stretched his head and looked at the smart sight.

Putting his hands into the operating slots next to him, Yang Mu used his hands and feet to immediately control the entire turret to rotate. At the same time, the two short and short barrels also began to charge...

At this time, several sparks flashed outside the spacecraft. A small spacecraft failed to enter the energy shield of the large spacecraft and was directly blown up by the Star Thief's fighter plane.

The dazzling firelight instantly illuminated Yang Mu's face.
