Chapter 1031 has just begun
As an important diplomat of the Spinning Water Federation, Banning certainly could not accompany Alyssa on her adventures. Everyone watched him board the battleship of the Spinning Water Federation.
After the Swan was filled with magic power, it quickly left the port. After all, the space station, especially the port area, was severely damaged. Many ships were waiting to enter the port, and there were not many berths left.
Besides, Alyssa also wants to go to Star Chaser.
Since the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation has never seen Alyssa's starship, at least it means that it is not regarded as a filler baby, but this also means that the information obtained from the Spinning Water Federation is equal to 0.
So Alyssa decided to follow the information provided by Eunice. The first stop was a neutral star system about eighty-eight yars away from here. She planned to go there and wait.
Because according to Eunice's intelligence, Alyssa's starship will dock there in the near future, and then there will be a chance to recapture the starship.
However, after leaving the port, the Swan was not busy making jumps. Long and Carlos stayed on the bridge to control the direction of the Swan, and Alyssa was called to the hangar.
Fang Lanyin was busy repairing the broken wire gun cable, but there was obviously still a piece of battleship wreckage piled up in the hangar, and it seemed to have been burned.
Li Chengqi picked it up easily, and Villania was looking around at it.
"What happened to this piece of debris?"
"It's a big problem."
Without looking back, Villania pointed to a slightly raised spot on the wreckage.
There might have been some kind of instrument there, but it's now burned beyond recognition.
"That's an absorber. I know it even when it turns into ash. It's absolutely unmistakable."
This thing is also installed on the Swan. As long as it is turned on, it can greatly reduce the probability of being detected by today's radar. With the optical camouflage invisibility, it can even disappear from enemy radar.
This is why pirates can bypass patrols, and with a little modification, any destroyer and warship below tonnage can become a stealth warship.
"The design of this thing has been brought back. The only place where it could be leaked..."
"It must have been copied by the Molybdenum Group, but I don't understand why it got into the hands of pirates."
"Actually, it's not that complicated."
Alyssa said:
"I have received similar business orders before, usually to help test new equipment and the like."
Some instruments are illegal, but if the manufacturer wants to test them, they will entrust recyclers or even pirates to conduct tests in unattended star areas.
But what's wrong is that there are too many of them.
If it is just for testing, it is enough to give one or two finished products, and they will be dismantled after testing.
Pirates are able to bypass patrols because of absorbers, which means every ship is equipped with them.
And this is not just once or twice. The pirates encountered during the Alan Star Chain were in a similar situation. They also unknowingly bypassed the detection of the Planetary Defense Force and launched a surprise attack at a very close distance. .
This is clearly beyond the scope of testing.
When she helped Villania get back the data stick before, Alyssa heard a director of the Molybdenum Group making a phone call to someone, and it seemed like he was talking about data or something. (See Chapter 787 for details)
If we were talking about actual combat data of absorbers at that time, it seems to make sense.
In this way, the pirates who attacked today are likely to be directly related to the Molybdenum Group.
So, is it necessary for them to attack a neutral space station? Despite the excitement of the fight, the pirates actually did not steal any substantial benefits from the space station, and they even lost several warships for nothing.
This is a neutral space station in a neutral galaxy. Its greatest value is as a cargo transfer center. It really has no more meaning.
If the pirates didn't attack here for money, then what?
Could it be that... the target is Banning?
The conflict between the Spinning Water Federation and the Red Maple Republic has not reached the point where a full-scale war is needed. Now it can only be regarded as border friction. Both sides are also ready to start negotiations after the victory is determined on the fleet side, relying on the war situation. Talk about a result.
If the pirates are controlled by the Molybdenum Group, then the pirates attack the neutral space station because of Banning, but they do not want a negotiated settlement?
Expand the war?
The main business of the Molybdenum Group is materials and ships. As the war expands, the demand in this area will naturally rise sharply, and the Molybdenum Group can make a lot of money from it.
This logic makes sense, but how did the Molybdenum Group know that Banning planned to negotiate with the Red Maple Republic here?
What's more, being attacked by pirates, not by one party to the war, trying to expand the war by killing diplomats is somewhat unrealistic. At best, it can only add fuel to the fire. But if both sides don't want the war to spread, adding fuel to the fire will The oil won't burn either.
This doesn't make sense.
Alyssa immediately thought in a different direction. What if the Red Maple Republic is not monolithic, for example, there are doves and hawks?
There is no doubt that the Molybdenum Group must be more favorable to the hawks who are taking the lead in the war. After all, they can make a lot of money by fighting the war. The hawks also need the war to gain military glory and expand their political influence.
If they were a group, the reason for attacking a neutral space station would be logical.
But Alyssa’s starship is obviously very close to the Red Maple Republic. What is the connection between all this?
And don’t forget, the attack on Blackhand Port has never come to an end. It is obviously the Constellation Alliance Army that maintains law and order, but it actually attacks neutral colonial satellites. This is very abnormal in itself.
Originally, Alyssa thought she was just unlucky enough to be betrayed by a trusted subordinate, and she wanted to find a way to recapture the starship.
But after tying together everything he had experienced since escaping from the starship to now, he suddenly felt like he had just been affected.
A huge conspiracy seems to be secretly brewing in the depths of the void.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Early the next morning, Li Chengqi sat in the space capsule and turned on the computer as usual.
The Swan is still sailing, and it will take about two or three days to reach the target space station. After that, it will be an ambush, waiting for the captured starship to dock. Before that, there should be no big deal.
The most troublesome thing was that Fang Lanyin had to keep her feet off the ground, repairing the Manta and re-modifying the Lionfish's ignition system.
Alyssa is still marching. After walking for almost half a month, she has not yet left the territory of Avarus, and she cannot go too fast. After all, she still has to wait for the troops sent by the lords from various places. , it is expected that it will take one or two months to get out of the border and enter the Tanderon Demon Kingdom.
In a place where the only means of transportation is walking, don't compare a starship with others. There is no comparison.
But this does not mean that Li Chengqi will have nothing to do today to find a drama to kill time, because Yang Yiyi and the others finally arrived at Lingyun Temple.
Or to be more precise, we arrived at the town at the foot of Lingyun Temple.
I have to say that it is safe to follow the princess's motorcade. Hundreds of imperial guards patrol every day, and the surrounding area is surrounded by water. Even if Anxiangtang wants to take action, there is no way to do it.
After sending the letter from Lingyunguan, they went to Luoxiadu to meet Ning Xianer.
Yang Yiyi felt that this matter should be over soon, but Li Chengqi didn't think so. On the contrary, he felt that sending the letter was just the beginning...
