Chapter 1057 Escape Pod

Before obtaining the Swan, it was Li Chengxi who drove the Manta all over the place. At that time, it was not easy to see that Alyssa was actually a very capable captain.

Not to mention that the performance of the Swan after modification is far superior to that of ordinary cruise ships. Even under the same conditions, Alyssa is confident that she can win against two enemies at once.

In less than five minutes, both pirate ships were restored to their original condition, but this also made Li Chengxi, who was planning to set off for a walk, speechless.

Damn, I acted too late and missed out on getting the meat!

"Boring, why aren't there any pirates hiding in the wreckage?"

"Brother Li...even if there were pirates hiding, they would be dead by now."

Fang Lanyin complained about Li Chengxi and continued to operate the temporarily installed robotic arm on the Manta Ray to cut off a key part of the engine.

After the battle, of course, the battlefield had to be cleaned up. These two pirate ships were quite big, and the Swan also deliberately avoided the location that might be the cargo hold when attacking.

From the goods looted by pirates to their own supplies, now they have all become space garbage, and whoever picks it up owns it.

Now that I think about it, I am really doing the job of a recycler, which is picking up junk.

“Are parts from old battleships valuable?”

"Some of them are universal parts that can be used to replenish the maintenance warehouse resources on the Swan. Those that are no longer needed can also be sold."

Recyclers are the group of people who love war the most besides mercenaries. It’s not that they are willing to participate in wars themselves, but that after every war, recyclers can rush into the battlefield and start picking up scraps.

Don’t underestimate scavenging, many recyclers’ starships are recovered by scavenging.

"Brother Li, open the warehouse. There shouldn't be many valuable things left after loading these parts in."

"Are you still pretending? I feel like I'm driving a train now..."

There was a string of containers hanging behind the Manta Ray, all of which had just been picked up.

The rear hatch opened, and Fang Lanyin stuffed a large piece of parts removed from the engine into the cargo hold. Then she stood up from the driver's seat and went to the cargo hold to secure the things with cables.

"Come to think of it, I didn't see much of the wreckage of the high-speed commercial ship."

"It might have been blown to pieces. When civilian ships are attacked, they usually break apart very quickly. The engine we just dismantled was from a high-speed commercial ship."

Civilian ships do not have too many protective designs for attack. It's like a cargo ship has the same displacement as an aircraft carrier, but its ability to withstand attacks is far less than that of an aircraft carrier.

Civilian ships have various uses and are specialized according to their uses, such as comfort, speed, etc. Therefore, even with the same tonnage, their structural strength is far inferior to that of warships.

There should be nothing that needs to be recycled nearby. After Fang Lanyin returned to her seat, Li Chengxi turned the joystick and prepared to return.

"Brother Li, look, that's also the wreckage of a high-speed commercial ship."

Not far away there was a relatively intact hull with an emblem that looked like some kind of flower printed on it to prove its ownership.

The hull could be worth some money, but the Swan’s storage is limited. If it were a starship, there would be nothing left nearby, as everything except the corpses would have been taken away.

Fang Lanyin didn't recognize the emblem either, so she used her mechanical arm to flip over the broken hull.

As the robotic arm pushed aside the hull, there was something underneath that looked like a cone.

It was an escape pod.

However, the escape pods on the warships are all of the kind that look big and heavy, while the surface of this cone-shaped escape pod is silver-blue, with a certain technological beauty. It is very likely that it was destroyed by pirates and is an escape pod on a high-speed commercial ship.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The Manta was really pulling a string of containers back to the Swan like a train. Fang Lanyin untied the steel cable that was fastened to the escape pod and was trying to open the pod with tools.

The escape capsule has a small space, and all redundancy is used to equip the life support system. There is no extra space to equip the airlock. To prevent accidental triggering, once the escape capsule is launched, it cannot be opened from the inside and can only be disassembled from the outside with tools.

Fang Lanyin also dismantled the escape pod once, but when she was in Alan Starlink, she often helped maintain the warships and had some understanding of the structure of the escape pod.

Although the shape is a bit special, the structure is similar.

After a few tries, Fang Lanyin found the switch and turned it with a wrench.

With a hissing sound of hydraulics, one side of the conical escape pod opened like a petal.

Hall and Sophia, who were guarding nearby, immediately raised their guns and aimed at the hatch. Although they had rescue obligations similar to those of ships when sailing, anything could come out of the escape pod, so they still needed to be careful.

What's more, this escape pod is not normal.

Generally, after an escape pod is launched, it will immediately send out a distress signal and wait to be picked up by other ships. However, this escape pod has remained silent the entire time. Even if it is afraid of being discovered by pirates, now that the pirates are gone, the escape pod has not sent out any signal, obviously not wanting to be discovered.

In such abnormal situations, it is better to be more careful.

Fang Lanyin stepped back quickly, and two figures walked out tentatively from the open escape pod.

"Please don't shoot, we are unarmed."

It still sounded like a very sweet female voice, but it did not reassure anyone. Hall and Sophia pointed their guns at the figure.

Alyssa shouted at this time:
"Put your hands up and walk out slowly. Don't make any suspicious movements. Once you prove your identity, we will protect you according to our obligations under the Star Constellation Law."

The two people in the escape pod seemed to have a brief conversation, but still walked out.

The first to pass through the shadows was a...

Why does it look like a robot?
This description is not quite accurate, as it looks like the Gundam was shrunk down to human size, but although it appears to be a full metal body, it has flexibility similar to that of flesh.

Then the second person came out.

Compared to the previous robot, this one looks like a normal human female at first glance. You can even see that she is wearing a bubble skirt that is not suitable for running. She is probably about fifteen or sixteen years old.

But when she walked under the light, she found that the person's exposed skin reflected a stone-like luster, and his hair was not hair at all, but a large piece of bright pink crystal in the shape of hair. The whole person looked more like a human-shaped mineral or gem than a person.

Li Chengxi was very surprised. What the hell was this?

However, Alyssa, who had traveled a lot and had seen a lot, obviously knew them. She looked at the two people, confirmed that they were not carrying any weapons, and gestured to Hall and Sophia to move their guns away.

"A silicon-based person and a crystal-based person? You two are really a strange combination."

Alyssa said it was strange because the silicon-based people and the crystal people were actually enemies and had fought for many years. Even though peace was maintained now, the two races still didn't treat each other well when they met.

Not only were these two people traveling on the same ship, the silicon-based man was also acting like a guard for the crystal man, using his body to block the muzzle of the gun.

This is very interesting.
