Chapter 1462 Ghost Ship
Not many people dared to run ships during the war. Generally, only black businessmen or transportation companies that wanted money or lives dared to engage in this kind of business.
Alyssa specifically observed the outer armor of the ship, but did not find any emblem indicating her identity.
Not all trash fish can afford to raise large transport ships, and black merchants cannot afford to use them. The most they use are medium-sized transport ships, about the same size as the Swan.
So large transport ships generally belong to large transport companies, and of course such companies will clearly leave their emblems on the ship.
Alyssa looked at the ship and felt a dull pain in her head. The implant on her head seemed to remind Alyssa that this place was not very good and she should leave quickly.
“The transport ship did not reply to any of our communications, and the automatic answering machine did not respond.”
After trying several times, Villania said helplessly:
"Either this ship has completely lost all energy, or they have not installed an automatic transponder at all."
Ships without automatic transponders do exist, but they are extremely rare, because they do not install them. Damn, you can't enter a neutral space station at all.
Even pirate ships must have one, even if the pirate's automatic answering machine replies with garbled codes, it must have one.
Otherwise the neutral space station will not open the door for you.
"The image comparison is completed. It is not in the database. Where was this thing built?"
Not only is it not in the Swan's database, Alyssa implanted it on her head. I connected the object to the bridge and searched my database, but still nothing.
This is a very new thing. Alyssa inherited her database from her grandfather. There should be no ships in the known universe that Alyssa does not know.
Even if it is a new type of ship, it should inherit the design of the original ship to some extent, and it can be roughly analyzed where the ship was built and who it serves.
But no, nothing, it just seemed like it came out of nowhere.
It feels more and more strange.
Alyssa ordered the fleet to continue approaching, and they had to figure out what was going on with the ship.
If this ship is an enemy, it must be sunk. If it was stranded due to an accident, Alyssa must also find out what the accident was, so as not to step into the same pit when the main force of the fleet passes here in the future. .
As the distance gets closer, the picture becomes clearer and clearer, and many details of the ship are visible.
“It is an armed merchant ship.”
“After all, sailing in a war zone, you must be a little sure.”
You can see that the cargo ship has been pushed out The gun barrel of the gun emplacement even has a rocket launcher nest, but it looks like it has been fired and has not been reloaded.
The size of a heavy cargo ship is similar to a destroyer. Once armed, it can intimidate pirates and the like. This operation is quite common.
Continuing to get closer, everyone was very convinced that there must be something wrong with the ship, and it was an internal problem.
Because its engine is intact, and even the surface of the hull is still the same as a new ship, with no scratches at all.
This was definitely not caused by an attack.
Alyssa asked Villania to use the Swan's searchlight to shine a set of light signals on the transport ship. If there were any living people on board, they should respond with light signals.
But no, still no response.
This is of course very abnormal. Even if the ship loses power and loses the energy inside the ship, the searchlight is independent and can be activated with liquefied magic power. Even a little bit of liquefied magic power is enough for it to flash twice.
“Are we still going to get closer?”
An Yun’s question interrupted Alyssa’s thoughts, and she said:
“The feeling that that ship gave me Very bad.”
At this time, Long suddenly said:
"That can't be a ghost ship, right?"
Ghost ships will appear on the sea, and of course they will also appear in the void.
In fact, it is not that mysterious. It is just that it has been isolated from the outside world for a long time. Once an acute infectious disease occurs, all the people on the ship will die. This is the true nature of the ghost ship.
Alyssa also thinks it might be a ghost ship, but possibility and certainty are two different things.
During the voyage, the ship is obliged to rescue, not to mention the Alyssa recycler's blood began to boil. Although ghost ships are dangerous, they also represent wealth.
Judging from the size of this ship, the amount of things it transports is not a small amount.
Of course, even now as a member of the Spinning Water Federation, Alyssa has the obligation to find out what happened to this transport ship.
So she said:
“Keep approaching, activate the main gun, and keep aiming.”
If this ship planned to pretend to be dead to lure Alyssa into taking the bait, it would be smashed into pieces the moment its flaws were revealed.
The shield of the transport ship is far less strong than that of the battleship, and cannot withstand a few rounds at all.
The three-ship formation headed by the Swan continued to approach, and the system issued a too-close alarm to remind people on the bridge not to get too close to the gaseous planet.
But this is just a warning. With the power of the cruiser, this distance is still within the tolerable range, so there is no need to worry about being captured by gravity.
The transport ship still did not respond, and until the three-ship formation came close enough to be almost face-to-face, there was still no movement.
Villania started the scanner and conducted a detailed scan and analysis of the transport ship.
“The structure of the hull is intact, and no reaction from the personnel has been detected yet. The reactor inside the ship seems to have completely cooled down. However, some infrared information remains in the cargo compartment at the middle and rear of the ship. It is speculated that there is still some The heat source. And a large mass was also found in the warehouse. It may be a fully loaded container. "
"Can you analyze it specifically?"
"No, The armor plate of the transport ship is too thick, blocking most of the signal features. "
From the outside, this is the limit. No more information can be obtained, and the scanner is not a perspective machine. .
Alyssa thought for a while:
"Ask the friendly forces to be on guard nearby, notify Fang Lanyin, and prepare the Manta."
Long couldn't help but hold the bullet on his head. The crystal ball said:
"You don't want to go up and have a look, right?"
"As a recycler, if you don't go up and have a look when you encounter a ghost ship, wouldn't it be a waste of your permission?"
Recyclers, commonly known as rag pickers, ghost ships are just what recyclers like to come across.
Of course, Alyssa can also use the military mission to emphasize, but when facing Long, there is no need.
"Isn't Li Chengqi not here today?"
"I haven't heard him speak yet. I guess he is busy with other things."
Just put in the boot disk , no matter what the ghost ship is, the surname is Li in an instant.
However, Li Chengqi was still paying attention to Yang Yiyi for the time being and did not turn around to look over.
Just as he was about to unbuckle his seat belt, An Yun said again:
“Boss, you’d better be careful, that ship may not be an ordinary ghost ship.”
< br>"Did your spiritual energy detect anything?"
An Yun shook his head:
"I can't use my psychic powers for the time being. It seems to have reached the stage of transformation."
The psychic power of a psyker can grow. Since boarding the Swan, An Yun has overused his psychic powers several times. Having been to the divine realm, these are all elements that stimulate spiritual growth.
In terms of the strength of psykers, An Yun is actually considered weak. A real psyker is no worse than Master Fa in terms of fighting ability.
The transformation period will last from three to four days to a week, during which Anyun's psychic energy will come and go.
But even when the psychic energy was at its most insensitive stage of transformation, An Yun felt that something was wrong with the ship.
She looked at the ship as if staring into a dark vortex, and her consciousness was being sucked away.
She didn't know what happened up there, she only knew that it must be something beyond common sense and extremely weird.
