Chapter 732 Here comes the work!
"Aren't you asleep yet?"
"Go now, go to bed first."
Aidas nodded, rubbed her eyes that could barely open, and went back upstairs to rest.
Li Chengqi was lying in the space capsule and continued to play a game.
Since Alyssa didn't give him a chance to enjoy himself, Li Chengqi had to find a way to enjoy himself.
Otherwise, why would he buy a top-end console just for playing pixel art? What a waste.
So Li Chengqi opened an account that he had not logged in for a long time, and played in the virtual sky for a whole day, having a good time.
The space capsule was specially equipped with three screens. Li Chengqi's original plan was to open more screens and display three scripts on each of the three screens.
But since there was nothing that Li Chengqi could participate in, he cut out Viola's side of the screen to play the game.
As for why no scenes from science fiction scripts were used...
That's because he was chatting with Fang Lanyin while playing games.
This feels good. When I play games, I have a cute girl to chat with. No wonder there is such a business as companionship. It is indeed an enjoyment.
It was said to be a chat, but in fact it had no purpose. The two chatted about everything from hobbies to trivial matters in life. Fang Lanyin also chatted while doing maintenance, and both of them were quite happy.
——Maybe this is because men and women are not tired when working together.
At the end of the round, Li Chengqi relaxed his tense muscles and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just when he wanted to say something to Fang Lanyin, he went to take a shower and go to bed. When he turned around, he saw that Fang Lanyin had fallen asleep on the main control panel.
During this day, Fang Lanyin overhauled the Manta inside and out. She might have been too excited and lost track of time.
After all, there was a four-hour time difference. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening on Li Chengqi's side, and it was already early morning on the other side. Of course, Fang Lanyin would fall asleep.
By the way, this girl drools when she sleeps, which is similar to Viola grinding her teeth and kicking the quilt when she sleeps.
Since she fell asleep, Li Chengqi did not disturb her and prepared to get off the capsule.
At this time, a red flash was reflected on the screen, and the farm that had been darkened was illuminated.
this……
Doesn't look like a good thing.
The strong light reflected on the glass of the cockpit also woke up Fang Lanyin who was lying on the main console. She rubbed her flat face and wiped away the saliva.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"I saw a red light rising into the sky. What does that mean?"
When Fang Lanyin heard this, she immediately stretched her neck and looked out from the cockpit.
"That's the Planetary Defense Force's warning signal, void pirates are approaching!"
"How dare they get close? Aren't pirates very weak? I encountered them once on the way here and they were over in a few minutes."
"On the other hand, if pirates dare to come, they must not be small-scale."
That's right.
Alan Star Chain is a colony with developed agriculture, and food is a necessity. Pirates occasionally come to Alan Star Chain to plunder, which is why there are planetary defense forces to guard it.
The pirates Li Chengqi encountered before were just spies from the large army. A light cruiser was sent to sail silently, explore the vicinity of the Alan Star Chain, and send the detected defense data to the larger force before encountering the Manta Ray.
They originally planned to get a vote easily, but they didn't expect to encounter a hard problem.
"Isn't that dangerous? I'll start the engine right now."
"No, wait. The Planetary Defense Force will take care of it."
Precisely because pirates often come to the Alan Star Chain, ordinary people are accustomed to warning signals going up to the sky from time to time. In most cases, the Planetary Defense Force will drive away the pirates.
Indeed, when I came here I saw the armaments of the Planetary Defense Force and a bunch of large ships. They should not be killed by mere pirates.
So Li Chengqi let go of his hand that was about to push the accelerator, and took the mouse and used the scroll wheel to expand the viewing angle.
The lights were on in the surrounding farms. Although everyone was used to pirates coming from time to time, for the sake of safety, they would hide at home and pick up weapons, or go directly to the shelter under their own homes.
Since Li Chengqi had a 45° bird's-eye view, he couldn't see what was going on above his head, while Fang Lanyin lay directly on the main control panel and stretched her neck to look up through the cockpit glass.
Orange fireballs lit up behind the darkened sky. The flashes were like lightning, illuminating the sky from time to time. The Planetary Defense Force was already fighting the pirates, and the fight entered a fierce stage as soon as it started.
The battleship's main cannon began to charge, and huge beams of light that seemed to tear the sky apart were frequently thrown into the deep void. In the void, the pirate fleet, which was difficult to identify with the naked eye, also fired back.
All in all, the sky looks lively.
So far it is a normal script. Pirates are not characters who will fight to the death. Once they find that the Planetary Defense Force is not easy to mess with, they will immediately turn around and run away.
But Fang Lanyin immediately discovered something was wrong. From the depths of the void, the main gun beam fired by the pirates seemed...
Approaching?
After a while, many twinkling stars seemed to appear in the dark void, which were dense engine lights.
"You were actually forced to release the carrier-based aircraft?"
Normal battles with pirates are all artillery battles from a distance. Since both sides will find each other at a long distance, launching a carrier-based aircraft at such a long distance will basically mean that there is no return.
Therefore, the commonly used tactic now is to engage in artillery battle while getting closer to improve the hit rate of the main and secondary guns. At the same time, when the distance is close enough, carrier-based aircraft are released to interfere with the opponent.
Generally, pirates will not continue to approach if they find that the Planetary Guard is not easy to mess with. Now that the carrier-based aircraft has been released, it means that when they discover the pirates, they have already approached very close distance.
This is extremely dangerous.
Just when she thought of this, Fang Lanyin saw a Planetary Guard light cruiser in the void being hit by a beige main gun beam. The shield blocked most of the damage, but on a ship, tonnage is everything. Light cruisers cannot withstand the main gun fire of starships.
It exploded immediately and caught fire. It was unknown whether the crew had time to escape in the escape capsule.
"I saw an explosion flash. Was it the Planetary Defense Force ship that was destroyed?"
Li Chengqi could only see flashes of light and did not know the specific situation.
"Well, one corvette was destroyed, but the Planetary Guard fleet is still intact and fighting back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Lanyin saw another row of engine lights approaching quickly, breaking into the atmosphere of Alan Star Chain from diagonally above.
"They're coming in! Why isn't the ground defense system in effect?"
It is true that Alan Star Chain is a farm colony, but there is also a large amount of anti-aircraft artillery deployed on the ground.
Large starship-level ships cannot get close to the Alan Star Chain, as they will be directly knocked down by the influence of gravity. If pirates come to rob, they will definitely drive shuttles.
But the shuttle will be shot down by the anti-aircraft guns on the Alan Star Chain, so it is a perfect defense.
However, this perfect defense seems not to be activated now.
Li Chengqi realized, oh ho, here comes the work!
