Chapter 840 High-Speed Destroyer
There have been several versions of evaluations about Carlos.
Fang Lanyin's brother couldn't help but swear when he talked about Carlos. Sofia said, "Sure enough," when talking about Carlos. When Prolo's dad talked about Carlos, he planned to overthrow his hometown. Long here, but I think Carlos is actually okay.
This difference is due to different identities.
Fang Lanyin's brother and Sophia were both low-level crew members on the starship. It could be said that they had almost no direct contact with Carlos, who was the deputy captain, and mostly heard rumors.
Alyssa's grandfather not only rescued Carlos in trouble, but also made him deputy captain. This kind of light-speed promotion will definitely attract rumors and will naturally be poorly received.
But Long was the sergeant major who worked on the bridge. He often had contact with Carlos and knew his character very well. When he heard about this incident, his first reaction was that it was impossible.
As for Father Pro, he is just out of love with his family. If you dare to attack my Alyssa, your ancestral graves will be raised.
Thinking about it carefully, when Alyssa told Fang Lanyin's sister-in-law Fenghua about this incident, she couldn't believe that Carlos had really rebelled. She was originally the navigator on the starship, and of course she also knew about Carlos. No matter how you behave, the facts are right in front of you.
"I don't believe Carlos actually betrayed Alyssa. There is definitely some misunderstanding."
"You can tell Alyssa when she comes back. I'm not interested in your affairs."
"Okay, is there a body I can use?"
Long's body is just a crystal ball. Without a body, it can only float slowly.
“Alyssa is ready for you.”
Fang Lanyin suddenly understood after hearing this. She quickly went to the small room next to the bridge and quickly pulled out a metal body.
This thing is essentially a demon doll without power or artificial soul, and its head has been removed. All you have to do is put Long on it.
"Thanks."
After Long got used to his new body, Fang Lanyin said:
"By the way, I forgot to ask, who are you? I've never seen you on the starship."
"My name is Fang Lanyin, and I am the new mechanic recruited by the boss."
"Oh, no wonder, nice to meet you."
Long shook hands with Fang Lanyin, then turned to Villania:
"Where is Alyssa?"
"The ruins, exploring inside."
"Why go to the ruins? Shouldn't we go to the starship first?"
"That's a long story."
Just as he was about to talk about what happened during this period, a red light representing an alarm suddenly lit up on the bridge.
On the radar, a large target has just entered the detection range.
"A ship is coming, and it's approaching us straight away."
"An enemy?"
"It's hard to say, but the high probability is that we need to use the ruins to hide the ship."
Villania quickly returned to her seat and worked on the keyboard with both hands.
Long heard that he was sitting at the helmsman's position and was about to grab the steering wheel when he suddenly saw the steering wheel move on its own. The Swan immediately turned around and pointed its bow at the approaching ship on the radar.
"What's going on with this ship?"
"Ah, by the way, I haven't introduced it to you yet. The person who controls this ship is Li Chengqi, a guy... I don't know if he's a machine spirit or a true god."
"I am God, what do you mean by not knowing?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Li is a god."
"You see, Fang Lanyin agrees."
The light in the crystal ball dispersed for a moment, and this reaction seemed to be the silicon crystal man's expression of surprise. "What happened? What happened to you when I was asleep?"
"Looking back, it will take a lot of time."
Villania operated the keyboard, raised his head and said to the monitor: "The energy circuit is normal. Try to see if you can turn on the absorber."
This absorber is the stealth device invented by Vilania's grandfather. The data stick is in Vilania's hands. When the Swan docked at Blackhand Port these days, Vilania borrowed their automated factory to try Some were produced and installed on the Swan, but due to the poor accuracy of the automated factory in Blackhand Port, it took dozens of attempts to succeed.
Since it has not been tested on the actual machine, it is not sure whether it is effective.
A thin layer of light waves spread out from above the bridge of the Swan and covered it like a cloak. At the same time, the Swan itself also flashed a few times, and the more than 300-meter-long hull melted into the dark void, leaving no trace.
"The absorber is working well and the optical camouflage is activated normally. As long as we don't move around, the other party should not be able to detect us for the time being."
The so-called optical camouflage is actually just invisibility.
Many newly built warships will not be equipped with optical camouflage functions now, mainly because they are of little use.
Like the invisibility potion, the invisibility spell will disappear as soon as an attack is launched. Even starting the engine to move the ship will cause the invisibility spell to become invalid.
Besides, just because you're invisible doesn't mean you've disappeared, and radar is not blind.
This kind of shipboard optical camouflage can usually only be used for fleets to ambush in asteroid belts. Asteroids will interfere with radar detection, otherwise in most cases the fashion will exceed the practicality.
The Swan is the previous generation warship design of the Kingdom of Storms. It also retains the optical camouflage, which is just right for matching with the absorber. In addition, it is close to the ruins. Even if the absorber is not effective, the radar will most likely detect the Swan. As part of the ruins.
After hiding, the Swan cannot move, otherwise it will definitely be discovered.
Not long after, the ship's engine light had reached a distance that could be visually confirmed. The other party did not start pulse flight, but drove over slowly like the Swan.
This is not like just passing by.
"That should be a high-speed destroyer, a ship of the United Star Group."
Long is in charge of all the military forces on the starship. It is her job to identify the type of ship. She can tell it from the engine light alone.
"Did you get into trouble with the Alliance of Stars?"
"It's not us who provoked it, but the Alliance of Stars seems to have provoked us."
Villania quickly explained the whole story of the attack on Black Hand Port. At about this time, the ship had already entered visual distance.
Under the illumination of the navigation lights arranged up and down the hull, it can be seen that the ship is almost twice the size of the Swan, and there are several space fighters flying nearby.
It indeed did not detect the Swan, otherwise the main battery would have begun to charge and the secondary battery turret would also be within a safe range.
"How did they find them?"
Fang Lanyin said puzzledly:
"Isn't it true that only Father Pro has the star map?"
"This can only be said that there must be an insider among the top leaders of Blackhand Port."
The top management of Blackhand Port knew about Shanna's affairs, as evidenced by the fact that they had sent people to beat up Father Pro. Maybe as soon as everyone left, someone immediately sent the star map displayed in Shanna's escape cabin to the Star Alliance.
The good news is that there is only one high-speed destroyer, not a fleet.
This is because the star field has exceeded the scope of the Star Cluster Alliance. Regardless of the desolation here, if the Star Cluster Alliance fleet appears here, it will be tantamount to a provocation to neighboring countries, or even a blatant invasion, which is likely to cause diplomatic problems. Friction and even small-scale war.
As the Star Cluster Fleet's external deterrence is greater than its combat effectiveness, provocations from foreign countries are absolutely not allowed.
That's why we only sent a high-speed destroyer over so that we could run away if we were discovered. Even if you are caught, you can still say that personal behavior should not be elevated to the level of the state.
But the bad news.
The Swan cannot defeat the high-speed destroyer.
