The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

939. Behind the Battlefield

A medical transport ship approached this Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, which seemed to be about to explode in the next second. Because the direction of the hangar platform was on fire, it had been covered by the fire extinguishing gel sprayed by the engineering ship, so the medical transport ship Leaned directly from a gap in the battleship.

Rescuers in fireproof suits flew out with jetpacks, and then, with the cooperation of drones, went deep into the cabin full of thick smoke to rescue those crew members who were still alive. These drones will put breathing masks on the wounded, then put them into the anti-gravity sealed stretcher on their backs and fly out directly, and then carry out emergency treatment on the medical transport plane.

At the same time, under the traction of the Raz-class heavy engineering ship, the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser finally slowly floated into the spaceport.

After the battleship was fixed, dozens of workers drove the SCV over and began to perform basic repairs and fixes on the battleship's shell based on the previous scan results.

The hatch of the battleship opened, and some distressed but at least able-bodied crew members walked out supporting each other, and were immediately taken to the hospital by the doctors and medical robots who were ready.

The medical transport ship also continuously transported more crew members, or... corpses from the inside of the battleship. Many of these corpses have been fragmented and can only be retrieved piece by piece.

After the flames on the battleship were extinguished, the engineering team and technicians entered the relatively complete bridge and began to check the internal data of the battleship.

"According to the combat records... 37 airborne proton torpedoes hit here, here... and... Well, the starboard side is more concentrated in the rear direction, and the close-in defense guns in this direction should be destroyed first." An engineer Use a universal tool to access the battle record system inside the battleship and start counting.

"These are not fatal. I need to know what caused the explosion inside the battleship." A Semiers engineer next to him shook his head.

"G-99 cabin, heavy turbolaser cannon, two rounds..." Another engineer said.

"No...not this..." The Semiers engineer continued to shake his head. He checked the universal tool for a long time, and suddenly said: "Here! The concussion missile! Hit the No. 5 shield capacitor compartment! Then it triggered a fire and a chain reaction. "

"Ah... the people of the Republic are so lucky. This air-to-air concussion missile should have been launched indiscriminately when a fighter plane was about to be shot down." The human engineer said, clutching his forehead.

Another engineer listened to the communication and said, "Your judgment is correct, there is a V-19 Riptide fighter that directly hits over the shield capacitor compartment. It looks like this fighter was blown out of a proton torpedo. The gap crashed in, and before the pilot died, he subconsciously launched a concussion missile directly inside the battleship... What else can I say? God is going to destroy this ship—well, the Kent battleship."

"Okay, is the battleship system still available?" the Semiles asked.

"No...it can't even display the operation interface." The human engineer shook his head, "I'm using our system to access the battleship operating system, maybe it can take over the work of the battleship system."

He quickly operated on the universal tool, and soon, the projection of the warship was projected from the universal tool, all red representing damage and black representing lost contact, "No, the energy compartment and the engine part All the lines are broken and need to be checked manually.”

"The energy cabin is too dangerous, let the robot go in first. Damage control team B, go to the engine room immediately." Said the engineer of Semiers.

"Received." A shrill voice came from the other end of the communication.

At the same time, at the rear of the battleship, more than a dozen Ewok engineers with a height of no more than 1.2 meters were entering the interior of the spaceship wearing protective clothing. Their movements are very flexible, and they use their hands and feet to move inside the battleship full of wreckage and debris, and they can easily enter and exit some narrow areas.

Soon, they entered the huge engine room, and one of the Ewok engineers took out a universal tool to connect to the engine system for scanning, and said with bright eyes: "The engine is not damaged too much, just clean up the debris here Just do it."

"Then why is the engine room lost contact?" The voice of the Simiers engineer came from the communication.

A few other Ewoks went to the other side of the engine room to check, only to see that the passage over there was completely covered with fire extinguishing gel, so they reported: "A fire broke out in the energy cabin, and it burned every line on this side. line."

The Semiers engineer said: "In this case, you should do emergency treatment first, and try to use external lines to reconnect the engine room to the main system. After the SCV has finished processing the external cabin, it will come in to help you and get the spaceship moving as soon as possible. It has to go back to the dock for an overhaul."

"Okay okay," the Ewok engineer replied.

They've gotten to work, pulling out tools in tight areas and starting to repair the damaged areas around them. The flexibility of the Ewoks is vividly reflected. They work upside down, leaning on their backs, and lying on their stomachs, and even some corners can be obtained.

While repairs were being made here, the wounded transported from the battleship also arrived at the hospital in the space port.

The hospital was already full of patients, and the spaceship was constantly rising and falling, transporting some wounded who had been treated and were out of danger to the large hospital on the planet's ground for treatment.

At the entrance of the hospital, a robot is registering the newly sent wounded. Its electronic eyes scan the wounded directly to know the basic situation.

[Third Class Zhang Quan, 40% burns, 7 fractures...]

[Second Lieutenant Luo Yong, missing arm, 70% burnt...]

[Secretary Starr Carton, missing right calf, 55% burns, perforated lung...]

One by one, the horrific wounded were sent to the hospital. Even though there were a large number of medical robots, the hospital was still extremely busy, with doctors, nurses and medical robots running around.

At this time, a fleet of 10 black shuttles flew to the entrance of the hospital, the hatch opened, and Tang Xiao, the leader of the Fourth Civilization and the governor of Dawn Star, led the team of entourages here.

He entered the hospital and looked at the crowded wards and wounded with a solemn expression.

Seeing the leader coming in person, many of the wounded struggled to get up and salute, but Tang Xiao waved his hand, and at the same time a gentle force of force brushed past them unconsciously, calming down their mood.

A supervisor came over to salute Tang Xiao.

"How is the situation in the hospital now?" Tang Xiao asked.

"The design capacity of this hospital is 20,000 wounded, but now more than 50,000 people have been brought in... Just now the USS Kent Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser returned to the spaceport. There are 2,240 crew members in the spaceship, and only 14 are in good health. More than 1,300 people died, and all the rest needed hospital treatment. In order to free up beds, we sent another 700 people who were relatively lightly injured to the ground," said the supervisor.

"Treat them with all your strength, at all costs. Every one of them is a warrior guarding our homeland." Tang Xiao said seriously.

The supervisor nodded, "I will definitely do my best."

Tang Xiao looked back. Although the wounded had calmed down, their gazes still seemed to be burning with flames.

"Every one of you is doing a good job! Because each of you is fighting for protection! To defend the country, to protect the family! It is to protect our dignity! This war is the galaxy Instigated by the Republic, they want to destroy us! Want to turn us into slaves! Turn us into a dumping ground for their goods! We will never allow it!"

"We have been sinking for too long! Displaced and homeless... But now, we have come here, to the Dawn Star, here! It is our homeland! We love peace, but we are not afraid of war! In order to protect our homeland, we At the expense of everything!"

Tang Xiao made an impassioned speech, and at the same time switched on the loudspeakers in the entire spaceport, spreading his voice everywhere, "That's right! Now we are indeed actively attacking! But you know, the people who want to put us to death The Galactic Republic! If we continue to stay on Dawn Planet, we will be easily wiped out by the Galactic Republic! In order to win this war, we are forced to go out, we are forced to attack! This is a self-defense counterattack!"

"And all of us are fighting for the survival of the fourth civilization! Each of you is a hero! I am admiring and admiring heroes! The motherland will never forget your sacrifices, you and your family, They will all receive the best arrangement and the best care!"

"Your contribution, the Fourth Civilization will always be remembered in our hearts!"
