Chapter 725 Void Pirates
Compared with Viola and Yang Yiyi, Alyssa does not have the strong 'protagonist style' that must be hers. She feels that as long as she fills up the tank, Li Chengqi can run out in the shuttle by himself. The same goes for playing.
But since Alyssa's goal is to regain the starship, helping her means that there will definitely be an opportunity to play space battle again, which cannot be missed.
After only participating in the war once, Li Chengqi has become obsessed with the feel of the shuttle. Although the performance is indeed not good, the feel is really good. I wonder if there will be a chance to change it in the future. If he helps Alyssa, maybe Li Chengqi will use it again in the future. Can drive a starship.
That would be so cool.
Having said that, the combination of a self-aware vehicle and a bitter and resentful protagonist seems to have a sense of déjà vu.
Knight Rider space version, right?
Alyssa is not one to procrastinate. When she heard that Li Chengqi was willing to help, she immediately asked the workers to start loading supplies.
Whether it's a small aircraft like this or a super big one like a starship, all it burns is magic power.
In view of the large fuel tank of the Manta, Alyssa stuffed several liquefied magic tanks into the cargo hold, and also filled up all the weapons and ammunition.
The only thing you can't get is the void torpedo, which only the army has.
Gemini Space Station is a relatively legal space station. There is no black market here and no contraband can be obtained, so if you want torpedoes, you have to wait until an illegal place.
Oxygen, water, food, fuel and ammunition, these are all necessities, and they are stuffed into the warehouse and firmly secured. This is normal, but in the end Li Chengqi saw the workers bringing a 'coffin' up, and Li Chengqi could not fix it. .
Are you going to carry the coffin into the battle too?
After asking, I found out that it was a newly purchased mechanical body for a silicon crystal man named Long. Before that, Li Chengqi had always thought that the crystal ball on Alyssa’s waist was just a pendant...
Everything was ready, and as the departure signal was sent, the Manta passed through the airlock of the space station and headed towards the endless void again.
Perhaps to test the newly purchased flight joystick, Li Chengqi drifted outside the space station just like Sahuan after leaving the port, causing the route controller to come over in a small boat and ask if there was a problem with the operating system.
"Where should we go first?"
"Go to this coordinate."
Alyssa, who had just apologized to the controller, complained but was blocked by Li Chengqi, who pulled out the data cable of her personal terminal and plugged it into the main control panel.
Li Chengqi opened the star map and saw a new bright spot.
The bright spot that was there at the beginning has not disappeared, and it still seems to be going smoothly.
"I checked your navigation system yesterday and found a specially marked coordinate. What's there?"
"have no idea."
"ah?"
"I really don't know, that stuff was there from the beginning."
Alyssa thought about it for a while:
"It may be related to the Creation God Cult."
"What's that?"
"The church that was so popular more than a thousand years ago has long since disappeared. Speaking of which, yours is obviously a creation machine and a divine crystal. You can tell at a glance that it is related to the Creation God Cult, but you don't know about them?"
"This is the first time I've heard of it, what kind of miracle machine is it?"
"That's beyond my knowledge, it's just what's displayed on the screen when you start it up."
Is this happening?
When the Manta Ray started up, Li Chengqi could only see the rear-end collision angle and could not see the main control screen in the cockpit.
"Speaking of the Creation God Cult, have you ever heard of a group called the Glow Ion Monastery?"
"What's that?"
It seems not.
I glanced at the guidance sent by the route administrator, and I was about to reach the coordinate point.
"Deal with your affairs first, and we'll talk about the mess later."
"It helps me a lot that you think so."
For Alyssa, nothing is more important than recapturing the starship. While talking, the Manta flew to the target point, which was a place specially reserved outside the space station where it could jump away but not approach.
There are all large starships around, and here the Manta Ray looks like the proportions of a car and a super-large freighter.
Open the star map, select the coordinates given by Alyssa, and press OK. The jump will begin.
The images of the surrounding large starships were instantly elongated, and then disappeared from the field of vision. Countless stars seemed to shift in front of the eyes, turning into long and thin luminous lines. Then these lines filled the entire field of vision, leaving only a hazy white light in front of the eyes.
It lasted less than ten seconds. When the light disappeared, the Gemini Space Station had disappeared without a trace.
The Manta Ray appeared in a new galaxy. There was a very large asteroid on the left hand side, and a star similar to the sun could be seen directly in front.
Of course, being able to see and actual distance are two different things.
The fuel bar of the spacecraft immediately dropped by about 60%. It seemed that the jump was the culprit of Li Chengqi's previous attempt to escape secretly. This thing consumes too much energy.
Alyssa looked at the shuttle's display panel in the cockpit and saw that the fuel was gone in a flash. Although it hurt, this amount of energy consumption was considered cheap for the jump.
There's a problem though.
"Why didn't you jump to the coordinates I gave you?"
"It must be too far away."
Li Chengqi looked at the star map. According to the distance display, the Manta Ray can jump up to seven yars. The coordinates Alyssa gave are a little more than seven yars.
"Well, it seems that this is the first time you know how far you can jump. Fortunately, you are not far from your destination. Have you seen the lava planet in front of you? Use it to carry out gravity navigation and go around behind you. It’s time to see it.”
Gravity navigation is actually a gravity slingshot commonly used in aerospace today, which relies on gravity to throw the aircraft out.
Li Chengqi moved the operating lever as Alyssa said, and slowly pushed the accelerator lever with his left hand, accompanied by the roar of the engine from the Bluetooth speaker behind the headrest.
Cool!
This is what Li Chengqi wants.
But he didn't feel happy for long. He immediately saw a series of triangular marks appearing on the small map in the upper left corner.
Inside the cab, the red warning light began to flash, and Alyssa immediately turned her head to look at the radar display.
"We're locked in."
"An enemy?"
Judging from the sound, Li Chengqi's hands were itchy.
"Not necessarily, maybe it's the Planetary Defense Force. They respond very quickly to unregistered jumps. Don't take drastic measures yet...take back your weapons!"
Okay, okay.
Li Chengqi angrily retracted the built-in ion cannon and maintained the original speed and route.
Not long after, those 'triangles' on the radar came into visual distance.
It looks like a motley army, with shuttles, space fighters, and aircraft that are much smaller than starships but much larger than shuttles.
It is roughly equivalent to a yacht on a sea ship.
Li Chengqi also said that the so-called Planetary Defense Force was actually such a miscellaneous force, and Alyssa said urgently: "It's broken! It's not the Planetary Defense Force!"
A flash of light came from the front, and Li Chengqi immediately broke the joystick.
The Manta ray dodged an ion beam with a movement similar to that of a kite turning over. While shaking, Alyssa added:
"That's a void pirate!"
