Chapter 1243 The Deep Diving Devil
Although the Swan had its engine replaced this time and many new equipment and weapons installed, the modification took much less time than when it was under the Royalists.

This was mainly because the most time-consuming part, the armor plate, did not need to be changed. Although the engineers of the Whirlpool Federation felt that it was an eyesore for the Swan to use the technology of the Red Maple Republic, they had to admit that their fellow royalists had done an impeccable job and that this was the level they could achieve.

You know, it takes several months to complete the process of outfitting a warship, sea trials, and training crew members. Even if everything is kept simple in a state of war, it will take only a few days to complete the major operation of modifying the reactor.

The most crucial reason is that the Swan under Li Chengxi's control has such strong compatibility that no debugging work is required. It can be perfectly adapted once you install it.

In addition to this performance improvement, the Swan has also added something extra.

The Swan had just left the port. Alyssa sent the navigation chart from the tower to Carlos, the helmsman, and heard Li Chengxi say:
"Why does the Swan look a lot fatter? It wasn't like this yesterday."

Yes, no matter how the Swan is modified, at least its main shape, which looks like a black swan, has not changed.

Now, the Swan's iconic "wings" are no longer visible, and it is just a cigar-shaped, bloated brown sausage.

"That's just a camouflage shell. It was installed yesterday."

Alyssa continued to prepare for departure and explained casually:

"We need to pass through the enemy-occupied area next. The Swan's engine information and appearance information are likely to be included in the Red Maple Republic's database, so we must use some camouflage."

Now the Swan is more like a bloated and heavy medium-sized cargo ship than a warship.

The so-called camouflage is just putting a layer of shell on the Swan, destroying the appearance information of the Swan itself. When necessary, this shell can explode and fall off.

Of course, when the camouflage is on, some weapons are still restricted. After all, it is not appropriate to disguise yourself as a cargo ship but carry a lot of anti-aircraft guns and two turrets.

As they were talking, the Swan had already left the naval port and started pulse flight, and would begin the jump once it was far enough away.

The most satisfying thing about this modification for Alyssa is that the engine power of the Swan has been greatly improved. Unlike before, it would be captured and unable to escape if a large warship approached it. At least the shielding range of destroyers and frigates could not stop the Swan from performing pulse flight or jumps.

Previously, they were badly chased by enemy ships because of insufficient engine power.

"What's the destination?"

"A dwarf planet."

After telling Li Chengxi about Eunice, Alyssa added:
"This time the royalist ships will also be responsible for the support, so we shouldn't be chased as badly as before."

No, wait a moment.

Aren't you going to the auction?
Why is it necessary to start a fight as a prerequisite?

Moreover, why does it have to be based on the premise of being rear-ended?
"Because that damn place is even more chaotic than Kexing City, and there are tough guys everywhere. And I think if you control the Swan, the chances of a fight will be even higher."

"..."

That’s right, Li Chengxi has a criminal record in this regard.

"Besides, you secretly used the energy of the Swan again, right?"

"Anyway, we'll be stuck in the harbor for two days, so why not use it?"

Yes, it is because of this attitude that Alyssa feels that the probability of a fight is higher. After all, Li Chengxi is a person who never opens his mouth when he can speak with a cannon.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The place the Swan is going to is called Deep Devil, and the location of this place is changing, so it is difficult to find it unless you receive an invitation.

It's like a ghost that could disappear at any time. This kind of dwarf planet is really rare.

For the next few days, no, it will take about twenty days, the Swan will be in sailing condition.

During this period, we will definitely pass through enemy-occupied areas. If we encounter a patrol fleet of the Red Maple Republic, it will be very troublesome to get through by disguising ourselves.

Eunice made a lot of preparations, such as preparing a false identification code for the Swan and even forging documents from the shipping company, so that the Swan would appear to be just a cargo ship no matter how hard she tried.

But it is best not to use these methods if possible. After all, lies cannot withstand careful investigation, and if there are any mistakes, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, the Swan needs to be extremely cautious in choosing its route. When it is inevitable to pass through enemy-occupied areas, it should go as quickly as possible. When it has to dock, it should try to choose a neutral space station instead of a space station currently occupied by the Red Maple Republic or a space station that has sided with them.

Oh yes, large-scale battles involving thousands of warships broke out between the two countries, but there are still neutral space stations between the two countries.

A space station is like a rest stop on a highway. Since the distance of interstellar travel is so far, the number of space stations required is so large that it is impossible for a single country to build them. No matter how much money they have, it will not be enough.

Therefore, most of the space stations are actually operated by individuals and are contracted out.

The space station has independent sovereignty and even has its own defense fleet. According to the provisions of the Star Law, neutral space stations cannot be attacked by warring countries, nor can they be forced to take sides.

Although no one may care about this when the fight really gets intense, most of the time no one wants to give others a chance to criticize them. Anyway, the role that the space station can play in the war is very small, so there is no need to be the bad guy.

This also meant that when the Swan had to dock during this period, it could land at a neutral space station, which was not only safer, but also allowed it to avoid searches by the Red Maple Republic's patrol fleet.

Of course, this model is covert. It is not a big deal if there are only one or two ships, but if there are too many ships, it will definitely be closely investigated by the Red Maple Republic.

Moreover, because both sides are in a state of war, many civilian shipping companies choose to take detours or temporarily not accept related transportation business between the two countries. Only a small number of private companies that value money over life will continue to sail in the war zone. If they are really caught, they will still be very conspicuous.

Fortunately, Alyssa's sailing experience was indeed not to be underestimated. Although she had never taken a ship command course, what she learned from her grandfather allowed Alyssa to command the Swan to completely bypass the enemy-occupied area. She even rarely saw any ships of the Red Maple Republic along the way. It can be said that it was very smooth.

I feel that in addition to experience, the bitch who is often called the goddess of luck by Alyssa has finally opened her eyes and didn't cause any trouble.

Finally, on the twenty-second day after departure, with the Swan's final leap, it appeared in an empty dark star field.

Here, no stars can be seen, only pitch black, but in this pitch-black place, there is a white object that is very conspicuous.

At first glance, it looks like the moon, but it is much smaller than the moon. The entire planet is covered with ice and snow, like a huge lump of ice.

But this big lump of ice is actually sandwiched. There is liquid water and even some living things under the ice layer that is more than ten kilometers thick.

This is the 'devil of depth'.
