Chapter 1025 Can You Take Me With You?
Pirates love to attack space station ports, which can leave the occupants with nowhere to escape and may also leave most of the cargo for them to plunder.

However, the power of this main gun is not like that of a pirate ship driving a scrapped warship.

The Swan gradually accelerated after leaving the port. The engine needed some time and could not be opened to the maximum immediately, which would seriously damage the life of the engine.

At this time, Banning entered the bridge and saw the tragic situation in the port area of ​​the space station through the window.

"Gods be to you, this is horrible, no one should have to suffer like this."

Some bodies of people were floating around the space station like garbage, and even a billboard could be seen floating near the port side window of the Swan, with a picture of Mr. James on it.

"Banning, find a place to sit down. It might be a bit bumpy next."

After leaving the port, Li Chengxi returned the control to the bridge. He didn't like flying the Swan very much, mainly because it felt too heavy, like flying a bomber.

But leaving the port does not mean it is safe.

Long reported:

"The Corsair has entered the visual range of the optical instruments. There are three destroyers. There may be more in other directions, but we can't see clearly."

"Artillery ready!"

"Understood. Prepare the artillery."

All the turrets on the Swan were activated and performed self-test procedures to test the operating stability. Then the ram at the bow was opened, the Light Lance main gun was pushed out by the hydraulic press, and the two secondary gun turrets behind the main gun also turned and aimed at the pirate ship in the distance.

"A test round!"

"Understood. One test round."

The people in the bridge felt a shaking under their feet, and the Light Lance main gun, triple 200mm ion beam and 210mm solid secondary gun fired at the same time.

"Confirm the bullet point, and correct the shooting parameters."

"Keep firing."

"Understood, keep firing."

In a long-range artillery battle, it is almost impossible to hit the target with the first shot. After all, you can only rely on optical aiming, and the ships are still moving, so it is difficult to hit with advance notice.

The first round of salvos was just to confirm the impact point and make corrections for the subsequent artillery fire.

"Confirm enemy counterattack barrage!"

The Swan's onboard computer immediately began calculating the impact point, and the route information appeared on the display next to the helmsman.

Carlos pulled the steering wheel, and the Swan tilted. Light beams flew from both sides. Only solid shells, whose impact points could not be calculated without being seen, grazed the wings, but were blocked by the shield.

The Swan was originally a warship that had just been retired from the Storm Kingdom. Its performance was almost the same as that of the current ships. Later, it was renovated at all costs by the royalists. It could even win a single-handed fight against a frigate.

Even if the pirates have three destroyers, all of which are old models of warships, there is no need to be afraid.

Besides, the Swan is not fighting alone.

The space station patrol ships also rushed over from the nearby airspace at this time. Although they were not large ships, they had the advantage in numbers.

Villania immediately sent a communication to the other party to confirm the enemy identification signal to avoid accidentally damaging the Swan as a pirate ship.

"A new ship signal appeared, but there was no response. It must be pirates as well."

On the radar, the new ship signals came like sharks smelling blood.

The space station patrol also sent a communication, asking the Swan to cooperate with the battle line.

An agile and flexible ship like the Swan is not usually placed in a battle line formation. The role of a cruiser is to defend the area, maneuver to other positions to interfere with the enemy fleet's long-range bombardment, and search and rescue escape pods.

This is also why the Swan's main guns are placed at the bow and cannot be rotated, unlike other warships whose main guns can fire sideways.

But we can't care about so many things now. We must seize this brief window of time to form a battle line, at least to buy time for the people on the space station to escape.

Alyssa smacked her lips. She didn't really want to get involved and had planned to just fire a few shots and leave, but since the other party had already sent her the application, it was difficult for her to refuse. After all, she would still pass through this star field in the future, and if she did something too extreme, it would be difficult for them to meet again in the future.

So Alyssa sent a response message, and formed a battle line with the patrol ships according to the route sent by the other party, and fired at the pirates in the distance. In this case, the Swan can only use two secondary guns, which are a bit weak in firepower, but enough to make up the number.

"Small engine light detected, pirates released shuttle."

The pirates attack the space station mainly for looting, so they will definitely release the shuttle.

The space station defense team is short of large ships, but they still have a lot of shuttles and space fighters. They should have noticed the pirates' actions. Many shuttles can be seen coming out of small airlocks and forming a formation in the airspace below. They will soon confront the pirates' shuttles head-on.

The Swan doesn't need to worry about the shuttle. With the pirates' abilities, it's impossible for them to break through the anti-aircraft firepower network.

But at this time, Li Chengxi became excited.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

In the hangar, Fang Lanyin was dismantling the maintenance panel of '13-1'.

"Brother Li, what did you do to '13-1' earlier?"

"I didn't do anything. I just went out and blew up a cruiser. And now it's called Lionfish."

Li Chengxi really thinks this name is very appropriate.

"But why is the ignition system broken? Brother Li, did you suddenly turn off the engine and then suddenly shut it down?"

"Forehead……"

"I told you, there's something wrong with its ignition system. It can't be turned off immediately, otherwise it won't be able to reignite."

"Okay, I forgot. Can you fix it now?"

"It was not designed for easy maintenance. I had to take it apart to see the ignition system."

After all, it is just a platform for experimenting with new technologies, so reliability and maintenance convenience are certainly not considered.

At this time, the Swan shook a little, probably because it was hit by a cannonball.

"How much time is needed?"

"At least two hours."

"That's totally too late. Can we transfer the backpack to the Manta?"

There are space fighters in the hangar, but they have not been adjusted according to Li Chengxi's operating habits. They have high performance but are not easy to use. It would be better to replace them with the Manta.

"That's fine. It'll take me about ten minutes."

The Swan has materials for exerting creative abilities, which come from the ship of Eunice's enemy. (See Chapter 931 for details)
Li Chengxi had already used these materials to make a new backpack. He originally wanted to try whether it could be installed on the Zaku 2, but the size seemed to be a problem, so it was left in the warehouse.

Later, we planned to install it on the Lionfish, but now the Lionfish can't move, so we can only install it on the Manta Ray.

Due to the microgravity environment in the hangar, Fang Lanyin was able to do this kind of replacement work that required large machinery with the assistance of small machinery. She quickly pulled out the quick-release bolts and prepared for the replacement.

"Are you going to attack?"

Hall ran into the hangar at some point and asked casually when he saw Fang Lanyin busying herself.

"It would be so boring if I didn't get involved."

"Well...I have a request, can you take me with you?"

"You want to attack too? That's fine if Alyssa agrees."

Li Chengxi obviously doesn't need Alyssa's consent to attack, but I'm going anyway.

"No, can I sit in the cockpit?"

Hall repeated seriously:
“I want to be in the cockpit.”
