MECHANICAL: Mechanism

Banquet didn't even have the time to see if Artemis watched them leave, because the mission had officially started from the moment they left the port.

After Morris inspected, the bride and anaconda went down to connect with the mecha respectively. Yanchi entered the main control room and waited for a test call with the two of them. Reaper followed the pirates to escape according to the information given by Artemis. direction, each performing its duties.

Yan Chi always felt that he had a strong premonition that something bad was about to happen.His premonitions are often very accurate. It may be one of the abilities brought about by evolution, or it may just be his instinct to see things that his consciousness has not noticed.

But after repeated speculation, Yanchi didn't know the reason, so he could only concentrate and start working.

Morris can also be regarded as the logistics team, so under normal circumstances he will not be with them.Although Titan is equipped with a military doctor, his rank and position are not as high as Morris's. Therefore, during this mission, he naturally became the commander of the medical team and asked to take him to check the rescue cabin and treatment cabin.

This can be regarded as a rule, Yan Chi waved his hand and agreed without looking back when he heard him report his whereabouts.

The speed of the Titan is not slow, and after passing the protective barrier set by the new humans, it can be tracked at full speed.

If the warships of those pirates did not jump through space, they would definitely leave tracks, which were tracked and whereabouts by the eyes of Artemis. If they made space jumps, they would also be recorded at that time. To detect, so as to achieve the purpose of tracking.

It wasn't that the pirates didn't know that it would be difficult to keep secrets if they were tracked, but that they didn't expect that Artemis would continue to observe and track after the counterattack, so they were easily followed.

The Titan's cloaking function needs to be recharged, and the energy on the battleship is limited, so there is a time limit for this task.Yanchi must get the information in the shortest possible time, confirm the situation, and then return immediately.

The first plan he planned was to let the new bride and the anaconda cooperate to pry open the energy shield as much as possible without being discovered, send the eavesdropping equipment in or go down to investigate in person.

The structure of the pirates is obviously not as strict as that of the regular army. Although it is dangerous to personally investigate, it is not impossible.

Yanchi knew very well that if the Network Bride and the others were not discovered, then this mission could be completed satisfactorily, but the plan made now must take into account what to do if they are discovered.

It is impossible to react temporarily when it is discovered.

There is only Yanchi in the main control room, and the three people who are responsible for the response have also gone to connect the mecha and enter the state. The other staff members perform their duties. , sitting quietly in front of the control panel, flipping through those pages of information repeatedly.

In fact, there was nothing interesting about it. As for those contents, Yan Chi had already memorized them fluently. He was just restless and couldn't show it. He suppressed himself and found something to distract his attention.

The Grim Reaper set up the route on the console, and when he turned around, he saw him staring blankly at mid-air, obviously distracted: "What's wrong? You're not quite right today."

In the usual way, after witnessing the embarrassing scene between Yanchi and Elwitt, the god of death would not talk about personal matters with Yanchi. Things weren't very interesting either.

But now the situation is special, and they will soon face the first battle of the Titan Legion. The state of the banquet pool will directly affect the entire legion.

Fortunately, Yan Chi didn't discuss his messy relationship with him. Instead, he looked over quickly, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't feel good. I always have a premonition that something will happen."

Reaper also had a little understanding of his intuition. Hearing this, he leaned down and coiled himself in front of him, asking in a guided manner: "Is it about this mission?"

Yan Chi hesitated and shook his head: "I just feel that something will happen, but I don't know why. Of course, this mission is risky if assessed, but the probability of our failure is not enough to make me so uneasy...I can't figure out why. "

Because it is not a combat mission, even if the reconnaissance mission is discovered, they will definitely not love to fight. As long as they can evacuate in time, it can basically guarantee that there will be no attrition in personnel, so Yanchi himself does not understand why he is fidgeting.

If it was normal, he would have habitually opened Elwitt’s private message page long ago, but the communication is restricted in the combat state, Banchi is now in the channel of the entire battleship, and also in the encrypted channel of the six mech pilots, If you have to turn off the microphone before talking to the Grim Reaper, you don't have the heart to talk to Alwitt about this feeling of anxiety.

Besides, even with regard to the relationship between him and Elwitt, now is definitely not a good time to discuss issues casually. Yanchi, who just did that kind of thing, has the confidence to pretend that nothing happened, and can only complain to the god of death.

He couldn't express his specific feelings, but his intuition was very mysterious. Death tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the problem, so he could only comfort him: "I think you are too nervous."

The banquet pool was silent.

This is real.He never thought that the moment for him to be alone came so early. Although it was affirmation and glory, it was also a huge responsibility. Due to the emergency, there was no appointment ceremony, no normal steps, and no process of forming the legion. He was just thrown away like this. On the Titan, you must bear the lives of the people on this battleship.

To be honest, Yanchi was very scared, but he knew he couldn't speak.The situation is urgent. Since he has been given such a responsibility, he must enter the role as soon as possible and take it on.

Besides, who did he talk to?Anyone above needs his comfort and support more than him.

Yanchi vaguely felt that he seemed to have felt a little bit of the feeling that Elwitt took over the command of the fleet after the accident in Lerenai.

Of course, Alwitt was far more mature and powerful than him, but he was still young at that time, and he had Le Renne before, so he wasn't afraid, right?

People like them may not be afraid of pain, death, or loneliness, but they will always be afraid of making a wrong decision and bringing others to die together.

Fear of not being able to take responsibility, afraid of not being able to complete the task.

Yan Chi took a deep breath, covered his face and admitted in a low voice: "Yes, I am very... scared. I have thought about what will happen in the future, and I also want to be alone, but I never thought that this day would come so early. I'm not afraid of accidents happening to me, but I'm afraid of being sorry to those who trust me."

Death was not a surprise.After such a long period of time, Yanchi's character has been understood very well. He is sometimes naive and sometimes enthusiastic. Most of the time, he is not afraid of anything, let alone death and emergencies. But he is actually very Fear of letting people down.

Yanchi often pretends, pretending that he doesn't care, doesn't like it, and is not attracted at all, but he always cares about the other party's opinions and evaluations, so he changes himself.

Not just for Alwitt.

The god of death is already at this age, even if the artificial intelligence does not actually exist before the time when it needs to be updated, but his personality is already considered to be an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes and understands a lot, sometimes looking at Yanchi looks like gray hair The old wolf looked at the newborn cubs.

They are so good, fluffy and warm, but the old ones can't protect the new ones, everything needs them to go through, to create the future, to change the present, to suffer pain.

He swept the edge of the console back and forth with his tail, thinking that if he really had a real body, he could actually comfort Yanchi now, but this thought could only be dispelled, and Death sighed: "It's okay, I'm afraid It's normal, but you have to trust Alwitt and the military's decision, they give it to you because you already deserve that trust, you just need to adapt."

This is not a false consolation without actual content. In Death's view, the reason for Yanchi's current depression is complicated, but it's not that he doesn't understand.

He was startled by the unexpected mission first, then he pretended not to be injured by Elwitt and was hit, and then he was restless because of an unknown intuition. He was still able to control his emotions, which was considered psychological The quality is super good.

The Grim Reaper has never done any educational work, but he has the demeanor of an educator. He first affirmed, then encouraged, Yanchi finally came out of the downturn, cheered up, and muttered softly: "Next time I won't I won't die before I leave."

The god of death wanted to say that you still knew that you were trying to die, and almost laughed, but considering that the microphone has been turned on in the banquet pool, and it is not suitable to tease the newly appointed commander when everyone can hear it, so he held back everything. Did not say.

Besides, Yanchi will not change, the god of death has already seen through him.

The long voyage, in the eyes of Death, is very similar to Noah's Ark drifting in the universe. The only difference is that they know what their goal is and where it is.

It seems that the strategy Artemis adopted earlier confused the group of pirates. They did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, so that the tracking was carried out smoothly, and they followed after a few hours.

The next step is the most complicated. The bride of the net and the anaconda leave the cabin, ready to follow.

In the vast universe, these two mechas seem to be just a drop in the ocean, not too conspicuous. The images that the battleship can track have a distance limit, and to a certain extent, they can only rely on encrypted channels to communicate.This was the first time that Yanchi was not on the front line when performing a mission and could only listen to the broadcast. He was anxious, but he turned his head to look around, took a deep breath, and forcibly held back his silence and stood motionless. Stand in front of the console.

Reaper noticed his state and heaved a sigh of relief. The biggest advantage of Yanchi is that he never loses the chain, and he has never been worried about business. He knows what other people expect of him, although there are usually many such and such things. However, in this case, it is always reliable.

And for some reason, Shinigami always felt that such a Yanchi looked from the side, with a stern expression very similar to Elwitt.

This is probably an unavoidable change for the child under guardianship, who is assimilated by the guardian without knowing it.

After the net bride and the anaconda got out of the cabin, they began to tentatively approach the pirate fleet in front.

It can be seen that after leaving Artemis' strike range, they relaxed a lot of vigilance. The structure of the battleships was loose, and after a battle, they also suffered a certain degree of wear and tear. The scale of the battleships shrank and their appearance was also changed. degree of damage.

Generally speaking, the pirates and the Star Alliance secretly reached a consensus. This kind of thing cannot be known to everyone in the group. Those who know the secret most are those on the main ship.

Evading fleet surveillance is relatively not that difficult, because most of the time the camera is facing straight ahead, even with a wide-angle viewing angle, it is impossible to reach the level of 360 degrees without dead angles. The real monitoring is the infrared radar and the like. means.

Coincidentally, both the net bride and the anaconda have the function of lowering the temperature of the mecha and disguising it as an inanimate body. This is why Yanchi chose them to carry out the mission. It is even more impossible for the Titan to be discovered. Its importance The way to use it is to stealthily approach the enemy to obtain information.

It took a long time for the network bride's voice to resound in the encrypted channel: "The network bride successfully landed on the main ship."

A moment later, the voice of the anaconda also reported: "The anaconda successfully landed on the main ship."

Yanchi breathed a sigh of relief: "Go to the next step."

At this time, he was already worried in the silence of the web bride and the anaconda's landing, and almost forgot the previous nervousness and uneasiness. The situation seemed optimistic, but he was already too nervous, but he calmed down a lot and calmed down.

The pirates had already switched to a warship as the main ship, because the previous main ship was blasted by the banquet pool. Although it was not completely broken and could not serve, it was not safe to continue to be the main ship, so they temporarily switched to a frigate.This is convenient for the new bride and the anaconda to destroy the protective cover.

It is not in a battle now, so we cannot continue to use violence to destroy, rely on analyzing data, and paralyze the monitoring system.This kind of work is handed over to Caesar and Death Monica, all that is needed is time.During this period of time, the anaconda and the net bride were coiled at the bottom of the main ship to prevent being discovered, waiting for an opportunity.

Yanchi couldn't help with things like deciphering codes and systems. He couldn't concentrate after looking at it for a while, so he changed his posture and continued to sit, feeling that something was wrong. Looking back, Morris was standing at the door.

They looked at each other unexpectedly, and Yanchi felt a little strange. Morris was still expressionless as usual, but it was very strange to appear here at this time.The accompanying logistics team usually has its own fixed position. Although it is not in a melee state now, it is obviously not in compliance with the regulations to walk around casually, and it does not seem like something Morris would do.

He was a little puzzled, so he looked back to see that the god of death was still working, and walked over in person: "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

There was no one in the corridor outside, but it was very clean here. Morris shook his head and replied simply: "It's okay, I just came to see you."

But his eyes were obviously hesitant.

Yanchi had that strange feeling that couldn't be explained, but before he could ask, Morris raised his hand to help him straighten his collar. There were many intimate behaviors between them, and Yanchi didn't feel very uncomfortable. Strange, I just looked down at Morris's hand, and then heard him say: "Congratulations, you have made history by becoming the head of the army at this age, and you will work harder in the future."

What he said is very similar to Yanchi's biological father, but he is older than Yanchi after all, and he has been taught to be submissive since he was a child, and now he can't remember to refute, but feels that he can be a little bit better in front of Morris. Relax, and tell the truth: "Actually, I feel a lot of pressure... This incident is so sudden, did you come here to tell me this?"

Although it was a bit of a surprise, Yanchi has never been good at guessing Morris's thoughts. It is not impossible that he made this trip just because he wanted to say this.

Morris hesitated to speak, and finally nodded: "I thought I could protect you for a while, but I didn't expect that you have now become independent from the Romanov Legion."

Yanchi didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand: "Elvet didn't intend to let me take charge of it now, and I will probably be in the Romanov Legion in the future, under the command of Artemis, and I won't be too far away from you."

Morris nodded, the two of them didn't speak for a while, and were surrounded by sudden silence.

Concerned about the progress of Death's work, Yanchi can be regarded as having two minds. Morris looked at him, and after a while, he said nothing had happened: "Then I will go back first. You are busy, so I won't bother you."

Yanchi hummed, and watched Morris go away. He turned the corner, and Yanchi returned to the main control room.

The net bride and the anaconda waited inside the mecha until Yanchi's voice sounded again: "The data is being transmitted."

To their surprise, the basic principle of the energy shield of the alien civilization is not difficult to decipher. Perhaps the workload will be unimaginable if done manually, but with three artificial intelligences working together, the waiting time is not so long.

The bride on the Internet thought for a while, and decided to go in and investigate.

This is dangerous and easy to be discovered, but relying on the flexibility and firepower of the mecha itself, it is still possible to solve the defense on the road and enter the interior. The pirates have not noticed that they are following, they must be relatively lax, and maybe they can get more News, such as their warship combat mode, and some information about alien civilizations.

Yanchi agreed.

The primary mentality of this kind of task is to accomplish more calmly without being greedy for merit. With the cooperation of the bride and the anaconda, it is not difficult to retreat completely. If the situation inside is different from what you imagined, you can retreat in time.

So, the two entered the main pirate ship one after the other.

The structure and materials inside are different from the new human technology, and even because it was a frigate before, it was relatively messy and noisy sounds could be heard. Yanchi remembered that the god of death had recorded the basic structure of this frigate before, and immediately uploaded the image data.

The eight long legs of the net bride are light and silent, and the anaconda has become a mode of swimming on the ground, silently groping in according to the map, and at the same time releasing a robot to automatically find its way.

The feeling of going deep into the enemy camp was tense and exciting. Juana adjusted her breathing and the small movements of the bridal woman, and walked in with the anaconda.

There were a few dark shadows in front of her. She subconsciously lowered her head in the cockpit, trying to make eye contact with the anaconda. Then she saw the black and slightly reflective mechanical snake head, and realized that it was impossible to make eye contact in the mecha. , so he whispered, "Are you coming or am I coming?"

Neither of them wanted to startle the snake, so the anaconda took the initiative to take over the task, ejected it silently, opened its mouth wide to spray powerful anesthetics, and devoured the two patrolling pirates at the same time.

Before the two pirates had time to snort, they had already lost their ability to move.There are only four fangs in the anaconda's huge mouth. It does not kill people with fangs, but releases neurotoxins through the poison sac in its mouth to kill the enemy.

In other places, the combat method of the anaconda might have become twisting, entanglement, biting, bumping, and tearing, but this is the most suitable way now, the network bride observes the red dot on the map, and whispers: "The passage is clean. "

So they passed quickly, repeated several times like this, and they finally arrived at the center of the battleship, which is the presumed conference room.

It is impossible to enter, only through a corridor, let the completely transparent eight-legged bug crawl over the metal-colored wall, quickly crawl over the heads of the pirates on guard, and reach the closed door of the conference room. Stretch out the tentacles and start eavesdropping.

Juana could hear the sound transmitted from the bug, but the pirate language was obviously not understandable to them. Without a translator or someone who had learned the language, they would not understand. the other side of the communication.

Her heart sank, realizing that Artemis' guess was probably true.

The meeting inside didn't last too long. The pirates seemed very angry, and their tone was fierce, and then they almost quarreled. The other party was very calm and rarely spoke, and then the communication was cut off.

Knowing that it was time to retreat, Juana notified the anaconda with a beep, and then retreated quietly.

The way back was the same as when they came here. The pirates had not yet reached the time to change their value, and the pirates who were disguised as sleeping against the wall were still sitting slumped by the wall. As long as they could leave the battleship, they basically completed their mission successfully.

Juana told the anaconda to evacuate first, and she was about to leave when she heard the noise behind her.

The body was found!

Immediately, the alarm sounded loudly in the cabin, Juana had no time to think about anything, jumped out of the battleship, and shouted in the channel: "Run!!!"

Once discovered, the pirates immediately launched a self-inspection of the warship, and soon discovered the loopholes, as well as Juana and the others.

Yanchi made a prompt decision: "Fire for cover!"

The other three mechs that had been parked on the belly of the main ship immediately entered the combat mode, and the ammunition and artillery fire poured out, without holding back, and headed towards the pirate's main ship with all their strength.

The pirates were caught off guard and turned their cannons on the three of them, but because of their lack of reaction, they lost their best opportunity.The net bride and the anaconda also fought and retreated, and successfully escaped at the last moment when the encirclement was formed.

Yanchi told him to open the hatch, revealing the figure of the battleship. While opening the wormhole to fix the coordinates and prepare for the space jump, he moved closer to the retreating five-person team to welcome them into the battleship.

The sudden appearance of the Titan made the pirates furious, and they immediately gathered to fight against the Titan.

At the critical moment, the five-person team jumped into the hatch one after another, the wormhole reached a stable state, and the banquet pool manually pressed the jump button with a snap.

A rescue pod ejected from the bottom of the Titan.

The god of death yelled at the last moment of the space jump: "Someone got out of the battleship!"

Yanchi suddenly stood up: "Who is it?!"
