Chapter 1083 Fighting Pirates

The Swan has now entered the star field of the Whirlpool Federation. In addition to avoiding star fields where battles may break out, it also has to be careful of pirates.

Due to the war, the fleets were requisitioned and pirates began to operate in the dark areas between galaxies, becoming more and more rampant.

The Swan encountered pirates two or three times during this month's journey. Fortunately, the scale of the pirates was not large. They were either turned into space garbage by the Swan, or they found that they could not defeat them and ran away easily.

Alyssa also had a good talk with Emma and Sun Lin about the war, but didn’t get any useful clues.

The two originally worked for the Molybdenum Group. Villania also asked about the absorber, but Emma, ​​a senior researcher, said that she had never heard of it and it was probably not under her jurisdiction.

All in all, the fight was very confusing.

Recyclers will not directly participate in the war, and Alyssa has always been thinking from the perspective of a recycler. Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information from the questions, she stopped thinking about this issue for the time being.

First send people to the capital to deal with the urgent needs of the Whirlpool Federation, and then go to find her own starship. It happened that during this journey, Alyssa had plenty of time to consider what to do and make a more detailed plan, so as to avoid being troubled by others like the previous two times.

In the hangar, Fang Lanyin was busy repairing several carrier-based aircraft. After she tightened the last screw and closed the maintenance window, she couldn't help but turn around and said:
"Brother Li, why are you sighing all the time today?"

"Because it's boring."

There is nothing special about the three scripts, and there is nothing that Li Chengxi needs to worry about.

Under normal circumstances, Li Chengxi would find a drama to watch or see if there are any new games that interest him.

But unfortunately, after looking around today, I couldn't get excited.

"It would be nice if there were another bunch of pirates to give me some fun."

"Brother Li, please stop being such a pessimist. The boss said that the pirates in this star region are very difficult to deal with..."

Fang Lanyin sorted out the toolbox and then said:
"It seems that we are about to reach the last neutral space station of the Xuanshui Federation. The boss said that we can pass through the star gate in a few days. At least it will be much more convenient to go to the capital system of the Xuanshui Federation."

The void is so vast that even relying on the warship's jump capabilities, long-distance travel is still very difficult.

As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. This is true even in the interstellar age.

How to solve the problem of long-distance movement is of paramount importance.

Star gate is one of the solutions. It is a super-large special creation. Two star gates form a pair and are arranged in different galaxies.

When a ship passes through one star gate, it will arrive at the star gate on the other side.

In short, it is actually a super-large portal.

The reason why such a useful thing has not become popular is not because the technology is not mature, but because it is too damn expensive.

The construction and maintenance costs of a huge stargate are astronomical, and it is a super project that only a few major countries can afford.

The Xuanshui Federation only has this pair of star gates, and the Swan's next target will be there, which can greatly shorten the time to reach the capital galaxy.

Li Chengxi was indeed somewhat interested in this star gate. It was said to be a ring-shaped object as huge as a planet, which must be very spectacular.

Just as she was imagining what a spectacular creation the Star Gate was, perhaps Li Chengxi's bad luck really worked. Fang Lanyin, who was carrying a toolbox, immediately saw the lights in the hangar dim in an instant and turn red.

The battle alarm has been sounded.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"The radar signal is clear, and the unidentified warship has entered the optical visual range."

"Ship shadows confirmed, three destroyers and one patrol ship."

"The other side did not respond, the main gun charging signal confirmed." "Deploy the shield, self-check at full firepower, aim at the destroyer that is rushing forward, test fire and aim!"

"Understood, test fire and aim!"

The first shot in the long-range artillery battle had almost no chance of hitting the target, and the Swan had no intention of avoiding it.

The main gun beams of the four battleships made an outline and flew past the Swan. The Swan's light spear main guns were actually similar, and most of them were near misses.

But then it depends on the performance of the shipboard computer.

The performance of the Swan itself is almost the same as that of the current warships. After being modified by the royalists, its performance has been greatly improved.

The shipboard computer only had two seconds to recalibrate the firing parameters and gave a reference answer. As the weapons officer, Long controlled the main gun, made slight corrections based on his experience and the position of the ship's shadow seen in the gun scope, and the next lance gun was fired immediately.

"Main gun hits, enemy port side on fire."

"Turn the secondary guns around and attack that destroyer first."

"Understood, secondary guns turn."

This artillery battle was actually very puzzling. It looked like the enemy were pirates, but pirates should have threatened with force first, and as long as they handed over the goods, they could generally pass safely.

However, there was no communication from the other party, and no one answered the communication Alyssa sent, so she called him as soon as they met without saying a word.

In other words, although it is a pirate ship, its style does not seem to be operated by ordinary pirates.

Considering that the warships of the Star Alliance once blocked the Swan's route and demanded to board the ship for inspection, the origins of these pirates are probably quite interesting.

"The counterattack barrage is coming."

"Avoid navigation and continue to target the destroyer."

The opponent's shipboard computer is not just a little bit slow. After all, it is an old battleship and its performance is just so-so.

But there were too many people on the scene, and one of the destroyers caught fire. The other three warships also completed the test firing, aiming and calibrating the firing parameters, and opened fire at the Swan.

However, in Alyssa's opinion, the technology of this wave of pirates is worrying.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Swan's performance was better than theirs, so at this time they should make the most of their numerical advantage, using jamming barrages while maneuvering quickly.

Instead of what is done now, where all four warships maintain formation and fire, the firepower will only cover one area, and the distance will be very far. Even if the shooting parameters are calibrated, it will not be easy to hit the target.

For the maneuverable Swan, it only needs to adopt evasive navigation to avoid most attacks.

The Swan's counterattack was actually easier to hit because the opponent was in a dense formation.

The white gloves hired by the Star Alliance Army are not very good at tactics and techniques...

"Torpedo launch."

"Understood, torpedo launch."

The twelve-tube torpedo tubes on both sides of the Swan's bow exploded with a layer of white mist, launching a large number of torpedoes in the cold launch mode.

The enemy has deployed a dense formation. It would be a shame not to fire a few torpedoes to celebrate.

The speed of a torpedo is definitely not as fast as that of a naval gun, but its advantage is that it is small in size but powerful, and it is difficult to detect in the void. By the time the radar notices such a small object, the distance is already very close.
