My ship can be upgraded

The maintenance of the waterway is carried out at regular intervals.

The maintenance fee for the waterway leading to the outside world in the mining area star domain is also a fixed expense for the administrative residence of the mining area star domain.

If in other directions, the undeveloped complex airspace is a sheep’s gut path, the waterway is equivalent to a thoroughfare.

To buy time to get rid of those small-tailed reconnaissance ships behind them, they will not rashly choose to take the sheep’s gut path, which will slow down the speed.

So Wang Dong only needs to let the Pond take the lead and wait for the arrival of the reconnaissance ship somewhere in the channel.

He chose the junction of the mining star domain and outer space.

There are unmanned space stations at intervals in the channel, which is equivalent to monitoring and is inconvenient to operate.

The channel at the junction of the mining star field and outer space, there are many meteorite groups nearby, and the distance from the mine star is far enough.

Here, Wang Dong only needs to move a little hand and foot, and he can achieve his goal without revealing a trace.

A few hours later, on the channel at the junction of the mining area star domain and outer space, a small unmanned space station floated lonely on its post.

According to the duties assigned to it by the designer, it performs the task of sentinel.

From birth to death, it remains the same.

This is a “scarecrow-type” unmanned space station dedicated to the channel.

Its functions include monitoring, alarm, and interception functions.

When the situation changes in the channel, it can analyze the urgency of the unexpected situation based on the built-in database and automatically issue different levels of alerts.

This model of unmanned space station is also equipped with low-power laser weapons, which can intercept small space meteorites that affect the passage of waterways.

This channel is located at the junction of the mining area star field and outer space, and the nearby airspace is more variable, and there are often space meteorites.

Even if you take the initiative to intercept, there will be some fish that slip through the net occasionally.

There are even those that directly hit the unmanned space station.

This makes the “Scarecrow-1” waterway unmanned space station placed on this section of the channel relatively high in the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

The criminal investigator residence of the star domain in the mining area has already planned to deploy another “scarecrow type” on this channel.

However, in recent years, with the serious illness of the baron, the finances of the Baron of Blackstone have been shrinking.

As an important source of income, the proportion of income that needs to be handed over to the mining area Star Domain is also increasing.

Even if the administrative residence is reluctantly maintained, it can only keep it running, which is far less generous than in earlier years.

As a result, this plan has always only stayed at the stage of the plan and has not been implemented.

Another space meteorite, streaked across the curve, flew towards the channel.

After a short period of calculation, the “scarecrow-one” central computer concluded that the meteorite would soon leave the channel.

At the same time, after communication, it was confirmed that during the time when the meteorite passed through the channel, there were no ships sailing on the channel.

Obviously, this meteorite is not a threat to the shipping lane.

Therefore, there is no need to initiate higher-level alerts, let alone start interception mode.

Each interception mode not only consumes additional energy, but also wears out the relevant components of the space station.

This makes the time for the next maintenance much earlier.

This goes against the “control cost” directive that is written into the underlying logic.

So, this “scarecrow type” continued to float quietly in place, quietly watching the meteorite, quietly waiting for it, and quietly leaving the channel.

However, when the meteorite followed the trajectory and approached the “scarecrow type”, the dazzling light lit up.

An empty mine that was carefully fixed under the surface of the meteorite was detonated by remote control.

The explosion at close range not only blew the space meteorite as a carrier to pieces, but also the “scarecrow type” that was within the killing range was also hit hard!

In just an instant, the “Scarecrow I” was hit by a violent shock wave, and many internal components were damaged.

Just a few seconds later, some fragments of the space meteorite also hit the “Scarecrow One” space station, causing a second blow.

This “scarecrow type” was destroyed in an instant.

The culprit is naturally the Pond hidden in the airspace outside the channel.

Only one mid-range detonation of an empty mine.

This is also the result of Wang Dong being able to control the detonation distance.

Wang Dong was not surprised by this result.

If it is detonated at close range, with the power of air thunder, the unmanned space station will be blown apart like that meteorite.

This “scarecrow-type” unmanned space station for the channel was originally a bargain, and there was not even armor.

A weapon that can even damage the armor of a Tinder warship, such as an air mine, is as fragile as a dumpling with a thin skin and a large filling.

Whoop and you’re done.

The reason why Wang Dong deliberately controlled the detonation distance was to create the illusion that the space station was hit by a meteorite.

Otherwise, the space station that was clearly destroyed by air mines is easy to make people wary.

After eliminating this “surveillance camera”, Wang Dong can let go of his hands and feet.

Soon, more than a dozen more meteorites were placed in this section of the channel.

On several of the meteorites, there were also air thunders fixed by Wang Dong.

After careful calculation, the effective killing range after the detonation of these air mines is enough to cover most of the shipping lanes.

Air mines are weapons that are of little use in most space warfare.

Because the air mine itself has no propulsion capability, it can only be propelled by the inertia of the launcher or passively wait.

It is easy to be detonated or avoided by various weapons from a distance.

This kind of backward weapon, which was originally stupid and stupid, had nothing but lethality, and was no longer used by many people, was played by Wang Dong.

Mainly with the cooperation of the mirage system, in the hidden state, Wang Dong can calmly set traps, and play the best effect of air thunder by exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

However, the stock of empty mines on the Pond, after several uses by Wang Dong, there is not much left, and it is necessary to find an opportunity to replenish.

After a while.

A reconnaissance ship sailed along the channel, at full power.

“Little snake, have the tails in the back been thrown off?”

In the command cabin, Chen Bao’s feminine voice sounded.

“Brother Leopard, half an hour ago, all the tails have been shaken clean.”

The captain Bi, nicknamed “Cauliflower Snake”, replied respectfully.

“Very good, as long as we leave the mining area star field and enter outer space, we can change course at any time, and then it will be considered truly safe.”

Chen Bao nodded in satisfaction.

“Thanks to Brother Leopard’s ingenuity, we were able to leave the Mine Star smoothly.”

The middle level of the caravan on the side was quite familiar with the field. Others followed.

Throwing off all the pursuers, it obviously made Chen Bao very satisfied.

He did not refuse all the good words, and there was a little more smile on his usually gloomy face in recent days.
