Chapter 1277 Waiting for Connection
The Swan stayed at the Deep Skywalker's port until Shadow Tiger completed the surgery on Dui, after which the Swan immediately requested air traffic control to leave the port.
At this time, the space station is full of police officers looking for terrorists. Only four ships have docked today. It stands to reason that the Swan is also one of the major suspects.
The tower did indeed apply for boarding the ship, but Alyssa rejected it on the grounds of safeguarding her own rights and that of her customers. After all, according to the Constellation Law, the space station has no right to board the ship for inspection without permission.
Although the space station has the right to detain ships, it must not exceed the allowed stay time. The allowed stay time of the Swan is twenty-four hours, which means that the Swan must be released tomorrow no matter what.
Otherwise, the Swan has the right to forcibly leave the port, and all losses and consequences arising therefrom will be borne by the space station itself.
Of course, the space station can be unreasonable, but although the cargo ship is operated by one person, it is not unprotected.
Ship Registration Congress will send someone to talk to you. If a suitable result is not negotiated, the country is likely to announce that all domestic ships are not allowed to enter the Deep Space Walker space station. This is very important for cargo transfer stations and space stations located in high-speed service areas. It's absolutely unbearable.
I don’t know how the other three ships communicated with the control tower. This time, the control tower responded very slowly. It took almost two hours for the control tower to give permission to leave the port.
The Swan disguised itself as a cargo ship and deliberately behaved as clumsily as a cargo ship, slowly leaving the port. Prepare to initiate pulse flight and jump after leaving the space station.
At this time, Anyun reported that the jump signals of two frigates had appeared. They were probably either warships from the Constellation Alliance or the Red Maple Republic.
The goal is to intercept Shadow Tiger.
Alyssa never knew the full story of the dagger plan, nor did she know what mission Shadow Tiger was tasked with. The order she received was just to come here to pick up people, and then deliver them to the designated location, and that was it.
Judging from the performance of the agents of the Red Maple Republic, it seems that Shadow Tiger probably has some special information, otherwise it would not be possible.
Just as An Yun said, the two frigates left the jump while the Swan was still accelerating, and the beeping sound of communication requests came from the bridge almost at the same time.
However, Alyssa chose to ignore it and let Carlos continue to increase speed, throw away the frigate at the Swan's normal sailing speed, and then jump again.
The frigate found that the Swan did not respond, and immediately pursued it at full speed, mainly because it was still near the Deep Space Walker space station. Directly firing at this time was tantamount to provoking the space station. Now that the space station, which is full of grass and trees, is stimulated by this kind of stimulation, will it activate its defense? It’s hard to say how to fight back.
Therefore, the frigate did not fire immediately, but turned on the shielding field to try to hold the Swan back and prevent it from jumping away.
But they soon discovered that they couldn't catch up.
The Swan is originally a light cruiser characterized by maneuverability, and the appearance of a medium-sized cargo ship is just a shell on the outside.
Switching to a destroyer might be able to catch up with the Swan before the modification, but the current Swan has not only been modified by the royalists, but the Spinning Water Federation has also magically modified the Swan's engine.
The frigate could only watch helplessly as the Swan ran further and further away at a speed that was not a cargo ship at all. In the end, even the engine light could not be seen clearly.
What is the fastest legend in the void?
–‐‐——–‐‐——
In terms of conventional navigation, no ship can catch up with the current Swan, unless it is pulse flight or jump.
Alyssa asked the Swan to fly away from the frigate through normal sailing, and then perform a jump operation. By the time the frigate caught the jump signal and jumped to pursue it, the Swan was already far away.
After several operations of using the star's gravity to erase the transition signal, the Swan was able to completely get rid of its pursuers. Compared to the miserable state of being chased before, now it's so much fun.
For the next five days, the Swan spent the next five days planning a route around it.
Because going to a designated place. It is already a completely enemy-occupied area.
Activities here, even if you are wearing the skin of a cargo ship, are still very dangerous. Unlike passing through enemy-occupied areas when you came out, this time you are operating in enemy-occupied areas, and the risk index of being exposed has doubled.
The Spinning Water Federation chose Alyssa to perform this task because of her experience as a recycler, wandering around the sea of stars all day long.
Alyssa can always find a suitable route in enemy-occupied areas and try to minimize the risk.
Except for an almost head-on collision with a pirate, the journey was peaceful.
In the past few days, Lieutenant Duy, who was seriously injured, recovered and returned to work.
The entire back was a mess of blood and flesh, and it was very likely that half of the body or even the whole body was paralyzed due to serious injuries. It only took a few days for him to fully recover, which sounded outrageous.
In fact, this is because Alyssa's medical technology is extremely partial.
After all, Alyssa used magic to develop an interstellar civilization, and magic replaced science for development, resulting in the advancement of medical technology that is completely different from modern medicine on earth.
Alyssa is like Viola's future, and magic can create healing potions. It's just that the healing potion on Viola's side needs to be prepared manually, but not only is the effect better on Alyssa's side, but it also has a mature production line.
Possibly due to the influence of magic potions from the Middle Ages, local development in areas such as pathology and virology has been slow, but its capabilities in trauma medicine are unparalleled.
Although Du Yi's injury was serious, even without Shadow Tiger's help, it was more than enough to save his life. Even if he was paralyzed, it would not be lifelong. He would have a chance to stand up again when he returned to a large professional hospital in the rear.
So there was no need for Li Chengqi to stuff a bottle of healing potion or something, as he had better choices.
Having said that, after several days of sailing, the Swan, disguised as a cargo ship, arrived at the designated coordinates.
This is located on the edge of an unmanned star system. The most conspicuous thing is only a gray-green gaseous planet and a large number of star rings orbiting the gaseous planet.
"Parking gear, engine off, reactor running at low power."
Alyssa asked the Swan to stop and anchor, and then looked at the time.
She was several hours ahead of schedule, mainly because the Swan ran too fast after being modified. Even if a lot of things happened, there was still more than enough time.
But this is still an enemy-occupied area, and the patrol fleet of the Red Maple Republic may appear at any time.
Alyssa decided to play it safe:
"Turn on the optical camouflage and activate the absorber. Let's wait for someone to come over."
Obviously, the ship responsible for picking up Shadow Tiger is very likely to go to the occupied area of the Red Maple Republic. Although Alyssa doesn't know what this super agent is going to do, she can imagine that it is definitely very dangerous.
