When the Thunder Team arrived at the M-78 asteroid belt, they were shocked by the scene before them.
Several cargo ships in the transport fleet were on fire, and the orange-red flames were running wildly in the space, as if they were going to set the dark universe on fire.
Dozens of pirate mechas surrounded the remaining cargo ships like a group of mad wolves and attacked them with all their might. Laser beams and missiles mixed up the space in a mess, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
"Get ready for battle!"
Xu An shouted at the top of his lungs, and the sound was like thunder, exploding in the communication channel.
Like a flash of lightning, the Thunderbolt Team's mechas rushed into the battlefield with a whoosh. The light from their engines was so dazzling that it instantly split the dark sky.
When the pirates saw the Thunder Team coming, they panicked a little and their previously orderly attack rhythm was suddenly disrupted.
However, relying on their rich combat experience, they organized themselves to fight back in a short while.
With a "swish", the attack started, and the laser beams and missiles mixed together in space to create a beautiful yet deadly light and shadow.
Xu An drove the mecha, like a nimble cheetah, dodging left and right on the battlefield.
Their hands were nimbly fiddling with the joysticks, their eyes were focused and calm, as if they were with the mecha.
The energy cannon in his hand kept firing, and the bright beams of light accurately shattered the pirates' mechas. Every time it hit, the pirates' mechas exploded with a "boom" and fragments flew everywhere.
"Everyone, pay attention! Don't scatter! Concentrate your firepower on the enemy's command mecha!"
Xu An shouted through the communication channel, his voice firm and powerful, like a horn urging a charge on the battlefield...
The team members responded quickly and cooperated very well. Like a group of well-trained veterans, they rushed towards the pirates' command mecha.
Their mechas drew beautiful arcs in space. You protected me, I protected you, and the crossfire formed a very solid line of defense that no one could break through.
Just as they were about to approach the command mecha, a group of pirate mechas suddenly rushed out from behind the nearby asteroid, like a group of ghosts, and surrounded the Thunder Team tightly in an instant.
These pirate mechas look very ugly and rough, but they exude a sense of savagery.
Although their weapons are not very good, there are so many of them that it makes people feel creepy just by looking at them.
"It's bad, we've been tricked!"
A team member shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of fear and panic.
His mecha was swaying in the encirclement like a frightened deer, and he was terrified.
Xu Anke calmed down, his eyes darting around like a hawk, taking in the surroundings and swiftly analyzing the enemy's formation and weaknesses.
Chapter 686 Encountering the Blockage of Mechanical Soldiers
"Everyone, don't panic. Stand back to back, form a defensive formation, and look for an opportunity to break through!"
His voice was steady and calm. When it rang through the communication channel, it was like a beacon in the dark night, bringing hope and strength to the team members.
The players quickly adjusted their formation and covered each other.
Laser beams and missiles were darting back and forth in that narrow space, and the sound of explosions never stopped, almost deafening my ears.
But there were too many pirates, forming circles around them, and like a tide, they kept surging up.
The Thunder Team was gradually unable to hold on any longer. The energy of the mecha was consumed faster and faster, and the pressure on the team members was increasing.
Just when they were about to collapse, a familiar light flew over from a distance. It turned out that Li He came to the rescue with a repaired mecha.
"Captain, we're here!"
Li He's voice came through the communication channel. He was full of fighting spirit and was very excited when he heard it.
He rushed to the front in his mecha, the weapon in his hand spewing out hot flames, like a large blade, and with a "swish" he tore a huge hole in the pirates' encirclement.
As soon as the team members saw Li He and his team coming, their morale was immediately boosted and a little spark of hope appeared in their eyes again.
With the help of Li He and others, the strength of the Thunder Team increased rapidly.
They took advantage of this momentum to fight back, attacking the pirates like a group of mad lions.
When the pirates saw that the situation was not good, they ran away. Their previous arrogance disappeared in an instant, and they ran faster than rabbits.
"Don't let them get away!"
Xu An shouted at the top of his lungs and chased after them with his team members.
Their mechas were like a group of giant birds of prey chasing their prey in space. They ran very fast and soon caught up with the fleeing pirates.
After another fierce pursuit, the Thunder Team finally drove the pirates away and successfully saved the transport fleet.
The leaders of the Interstellar Mining Alliance must be grateful to Xu An and his team.
He was an old man in his fifties with white hair, but his eyes were full of gratitude and admiration.
"Thank you so much! If you hadn't arrived in time, we would have lost a lot of money this time."
His voice was trembling a little, full of gratitude.
Xu An smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite? This is what we all should do. However, this pirate attack is a bit strange. They must have someone backing them. We have to be more careful."
His eyes were filled with worry and vigilance, as if he sensed in advance that bigger trouble was about to come.
After returning to the base, Xu An quickly gathered all the team members together and began to investigate who was behind the pirate attack.
He sat in the front row of the conference room, his eyes firm and focused, studying every clue carefully.
The team members sat together, discussing with each other, and the atmosphere was lively and tense.
At this moment, Elena Voss was also thinking of a bad idea on her flagship. She had a stern face and a sinister look in her eyes.
She had secretly hooked up with some mysterious forces, and the representatives of those forces chatted with her furtively in dark corners, the lights so dim that she couldn't even see what they looked like.
Chapter 687 Causing Serious Consequences
Seeing that a bigger storm is coming, Xu An and his Thunder Team are about to encounter a challenge that they have never encountered before...
John, the head of the Interstellar Mining Alliance, was trembling slightly, his face sincere and a little anxious. He held Xu An's hands tightly with both hands. The dampness in his palms was the sweat caused by tension and anticipation.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Xu An, his eyes full of gratitude and trust.
"Captain Xu An, if you hadn't arrived in time this time, we would all be finished. We really can't repay this kindness. But there is something I can do for you that may be of great help."
His voice trembled slightly, carrying a somewhat mysterious echo in the silent space.
As he spoke, John slowly took out a worn-out information chip from his pocket. The surface of the chip was covered with scratches from the years, as if telling a series of unknown stories.
"This is a clue we accidentally obtained during an exploration of ancient ruins, and it points to a mysterious planet."
"As far as we know, there is a high possibility that there is an unprecedented new energy source there. This energy has an extremely high energy density and is far more stable than the energy we use now."
"If we can find and successfully utilize it, it will completely solve the major problem of energy shortage."
As he spoke, he handed the chip to Xu An, his eyes full of anticipation.
Xu An took the chip carefully, as if he was holding the future of the entire fleet.
His eyes lit up instantly, and the light was like the brightest star in the night sky, brilliant and dazzling.
He knew very well the importance of new energy to the fleet.
With it, not only can the performance of the mecha be greatly improved."
"It will give them stronger attack and defense capabilities in battle, and it will also allow the fleet to have longer-lasting endurance in this vast universe, allowing them to explore further unknown areas and possess stronger combat and survivability.
Carrying the chip, Xu An was extremely anxious and hurried to his friend Kailo's laboratory.
Along the way, the various changes that new energy might bring kept emerging in his mind, and his heart beat faster involuntarily.
Kylo is a recognized genius in the mecha world, with unruly brown curly hair, as if showing off his unruly personality.
A pair of smart glasses is worn on his high nose bridge, and behind the lenses are a pair of deep and wise eyes, which always sparkle with the desire to explore unknown technologies.
At this moment, he was buried in a pile of complicated instruments and drawings. He only looked up when he heard Xu An's footsteps.
"Kylo, look at this."
Xu An walked quickly to him and handed the chip over. His voice was filled with excitement, and his chest rose and fell slightly, showing his inner excitement.
Kailuo took the chip, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and quickly placed it on his analysis instrument.
His fingers tapped rapidly on the operating table, making a crackling sound, as if he was playing a rapid piece of music.
As Zhao Li Zhao continued to read and analyze the data, his expression gradually became serious.
After a while, he raised his head, his eyes behind the lenses full of surprise and excitement.
"Xu An, if this is true, it will be a revolution in the field of mecha energy! But there are many technical difficulties in mining and utilizing this new energy."
"We have to develop a completely new energy conversion and storage device, and we also have to consider its compatibility with existing mecha systems. Any carelessness could lead to serious consequences."
Chapter 688: Let people feel his calmness
As he spoke, he quickly sketched on the drawing, trying to outline a preliminary solution.
The two engaged in a heated discussion, going over every detail, from energy conversion efficiency to mecha adaptation and modification.
Sometimes they frowned in thought, sometimes they gestured excitedly, as if they were in a technological battlefield full of challenges and opportunities.
After the discussion, Xu An was fully aware of the significance of this matter. He did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly summoned deputy captain Li He, intelligence officer Zhao Lin, technical director Tang Xi, and the awe-inspiring one-eyed deputy captain.
There is a scar on the one-eyed man's face that extends from his forehead to his cheek. It is the mark left by his bloody battles on the battlefield. The eye under the eye patch is sharp and courageous, as if it can see through all difficulties.
In previous battles, he always led the charge, marched forward bravely, and made outstanding achievements. He is a hero in the hearts of his teammates.
Everyone sat in the conference room, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
The lights in the conference room were a little dim, illuminating everyone's serious faces.
Xu An cleared his throat and broke the silence: "Brothers, we have obtained a clue to find a new energy source, which is crucial for us. But the road ahead will definitely be difficult. Let's discuss together and see how we can make this happen."
His eyes were firm as he glanced at everyone, conveying trust and expectation.
Li He was the first to speak. He was straightforward and had a hot temper. He slammed the table and shouted, "Just do it!"
"With new energy, our strength will be greatly improved. No matter what difficulties we face, we can overcome them. Our Thunder Team has never been afraid of anything, and this time is no exception!"
His eyes burned with fighting spirit and he exuded a fearless aura, as if he couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield.
Zhao Lin pushed her glasses, looking calm and steady, her eyes revealing wisdom and composure.
"I suggest gathering more intelligence about that planet first, understanding its environment, potential dangers, and whether other forces are coveting it. I will mobilize all intelligence channels and strive to find out the situation as quickly as possible."
"Only when we have sufficient information can we formulate a reasonable plan and avoid being passive."
As she spoke, she quickly wrote down the key points in her notebook.
Tang Xi frowned and thought for a moment, his eyes focused and serious.
"From a technical perspective, Kailuo and I can work together to research preliminary plans for energy extraction and conversion in advance to ensure we are fully prepared. We need to anticipate potential technical difficulties and find solutions so that we can avoid detours in actual operations."
She is well-known in the team for her obsession with technology and her spirit of research. When she mentioned technical issues, her eyes sparkled with confidence.
The one-eyed man remained silent and listened quietly to everyone's speeches.
Until this moment, he slowly spoke, his voice low and powerful, each word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight: "No matter what we encounter, I will lead my brothers to rush to the front."
"But we need a thorough plan and can't act blindly. We need to consider all possible scenarios and be fully prepared to ensure the success of the mission."
Although his words were few, they were full of power, making people feel his calmness and reliability.
Chapter 689 That is his most loyal partner
Xu An listened carefully to everyone's speech, nodded slightly, and a gratified smile appeared on his face: "Everyone is right. We are collecting intelligence while making technical preparations. This is a challenge and an opportunity that we must seize. I believe that as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
His voice was firm and powerful, giving everyone a shot in the arm.
Just as they were actively preparing, a sudden burst of rapid alarms came from the communicator, sharp and piercing, breaking the tranquility of the conference room.
Everyone's faces instantly became solemn. Xu An quickly answered the call, and an anxious voice came from the communicator: "Captain Xu An, something bad has happened!"
"We've discovered an unidentified fleet heading towards that mysterious planet. Judging from their posture, they seem to have some plans for the new energy sources there..."
This news came like a bolt from the blue, making the already tense atmosphere even more oppressive. Everyone's eyes revealed worry and vigilance. They knew that a fierce competition might be about to begin.
Li He suddenly stood up from his seat, clenching his fists. The veins on his arms bulged, and his face was filled with anger. "These guys must be trying to steal our new energy! We can't let them succeed. Captain, let's chase them!"
His voice became a little hoarse because of anger, and he wanted to rush out in the mecha immediately.
Zhao Lin frowned even more tightly, and she quickly checked various information on the terminal, trying to find clues about this unidentified fleet.
"Don't worry, we don't know their strength or purpose yet. I need to find out their details as soon as possible so that I can formulate an effective countermeasure strategy."
Her fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, her eyes focused and nervous.
Tang Xi bit her lip, a hint of worry in her eyes: "If they get there first and master the new energy mining technology, we will be in trouble. We must speed up the progress of technological research and development and not fall behind them."
