the days before i bought the galaxy

Hongdu Command Tower——

In the transparent pyramid room, all the staff members are busy busy.It has now been 37 days since the pirates bombed the shield outside the Red City.The protective shield that has been overloaded for a long time is about to reach its limit. Even if the deep space crystal with a higher energy level is used to replace the energy brick as power, there is no way to keep the protective shield working. The fall of Hongdu seems to be imminent.

"I tried to use the existing machinery to create a spare protective cover, but the radius of this protective cover can only cover one-sixth of the planet's surface, and the effect is not as good as before." Lan reported in the usual calm tone.

"It doesn't matter, at the last moment, I can use this to temporarily support for a while." Warren paced back and forth anxiously, "Is there really no way for the shield to restart quickly?"

Lan shook his head: "That's technically impossible. It takes three to ten minutes from stopping recharging to complete cooling. Although the shield after restarting can last for another 10 days, but for now, three ten minutes Exposed to pirate fire, the probability of the Red City being captured is as high as 30%.”

Warren: "..."

A shield outside Hongdu's atmosphere guarded the planet for more than a month.But now, it has reached the last moment of life like a dying old man.Only a recooling start can make it rejuvenate, but what Warren lacks is precisely these short 10 minutes.

"What if the cooldown is only 5 minutes?" Warren asked unwillingly.He was thinking about how to get a short cooling time in his mind.

Lan shook his head: "Incomplete restart will only make the shield more unstable."

"It seems that there is only one way." Menggalt said suddenly, "Let me lead the army to break through and contact Bethel for rescue. As long as I can successfully break out of the communication interception zone or the space folding restricted zone, I can try to make contact with him." Bethel got in touch."

"I object." The red-haired half-human lieutenant Odin said firmly, "If I were a pirate, I would definitely strengthen my defenses against breaking out at this critical moment. Facing an enemy force 40 times your size, you have no chance of winning. "

"Breakout battles in history have never had anything to do with whether the enemy is prepared or not." Montgalt retorted, "It's only about morale and determination."

"So the success rate of breakout battles in history has never been high." Odin gave a cold look to the general of the local security forces.

"We have no other choice!" Menggalt frowned, "There has been no news of Mirit, and there is no sign of reinforcements. When the protective shield collapses, we will have no way out. "

Odin let out a cold snort: "We shouldn't have counted on that woman from the very beginning, maybe this situation was caused by her alone!"

"Letting the pirates break through Hong is of no benefit to Milita!" Menggalt couldn't help raising his voice, "She must have encountered an interception, and she may have even encountered an accident! Is this your attitude towards your allies? Push the blame away To an ally?"

"What if..." Warren paused, as if making up his mind, "What if we break through with all the spaceships we have at hand? Wouldn't the chances of winning be higher?"

Menggalt was taken aback: "You said all five medium-sized warships?"

Odin: "Warren, that's the only force we can use to escape at the last moment!"

Warren said with a smile: "If the same thing is to break through, there is no difference between putting it at the end and putting it right now. But I am not talking about all 5 medium-sized warships, but all the spaceships we can break through at present."

Odin was taken aback: "Are you planning to give up the Red City as a whole to break through?"

"No. It's still too early to break through the siege as a whole. If you rush up in such a reckless manner, the damage to personnel will be quite large. I suggest that all spaceships that can be folded in space but have low combat effectiveness be equipped with a minimum number of crew members, so that these spaceships and Together, the warships broke through under the leadership of Captain Montgalt. As long as one spaceship breaks out of the encirclement, we have hope. No matter what happened to Mirit, we can't continue to count on her now. Lan, how many spaceships do we have that can participate in the breakout?"

"Including the Walrus, we have a total of 5 medium-sized warships, 6 medium-sized commercial warships, 11 medium-sized merchant ships, and 31 small spaceships. Considering that the protective shields of micro-spaceships cannot pass through dense firepower nets, it is not Not listed. Warren..." Lang paused, then said slowly, "Xiaguang is also included in the spaceships that can participate in the breakout."

Warren was silent for a moment, then asked again: "How many people are needed in total?"

"Each battleship is calculated according to the full crew, and the rest of the spaceship is calculated according to the minimum personnel standard. A total of 761 crew members are required."

"That's it! The personnel arrangement is based on the principle of voluntariness. All spaceships that successfully break through and find reinforcements will receive a bounty of [-] deep space crystals. The breakout time is set after sunset tomorrow."

The atmosphere in the command room suddenly froze for a moment.Everyone was overwhelmed by Warren's determination, and even Montgart felt the heavy burden on his shoulders. "I will try to create opportunities for all spaceships." He promised earnestly.

"My bounty is also valid for you." Warren smiled, and his expression returned to ease, "Lan, find someone reliable to temporarily take the post of captain of the Xiaguang, I don't want my spaceship to be treated roughly. "

"Do you really want the Xiaguang to participate in the breakout operation?" Lan asked hesitantly.No one understood Warren's feelings for the ship better than he did.

"We can't lose 1/53 chance. Go recruit the crew! I hope everyone can get enough rest before starting."

"Yes."

"Then I'll go back to the Walrus to prepare."

Menggalt and Lan walked out of the control room one after another.

"Do you think this will be the right decision?"

Warren walked to the edge of the control room, gazed at the gorgeous sky beyond the transparent pyramid, and said his question was more like talking to himself.

"Who knows? The only thing I can be sure of is that so many spaceships fled all at once, which greatly reduces the possibility of pirates annihilating them." Odin, standing behind him, was also admiring the spectacle in the sky.These beautiful lights of different colors come from various weapons, and on the other side of the outer shield of the atmosphere, it is a real purgatory.

"Many people will die tomorrow. Spaceships will fall like meteors, carrying the souls of warriors with them. They don't even reach the ground before they are obliterated outside the shield like enemy fire. I lured more than 700 lives with money Rush to death, if this is a wrong decision, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Death will come sooner or later. Leave or stay, no one can tell which way is safer." Odin smiled mockingly, "Instead of sighing for this, why not think about it, if the breakout operation fails, we What else can be done."

"Indeed." Warren nodded, and looked at his adjutant with a scrutinizing look, "Odin, you seem to be really used to seeing life and death."

"Of course! There are only 700 people, don't forget, I was born in the lair of space pirates!" Odin shrugged.

"Hahahaha, I am so lucky to have someone who understands pirates like you by my side!" Warren laughed loudly. "Actually, I have an idea. Just now Lan said that when he was trying to make a spare shield, Suddenly, a flash of light popped into my mind..."

On July 1212, 7 in the Milky Way calendar, 3 spaceships, with a total of 53 crew members, were assembled in three groups at Hongdu Airport.They will rush out of the protective shield over Hongdu 779 minutes after the sun sets, and will break through under the leadership of the local security force general Menggalt Kong.In order to prevent these spaceships from being controlled by pirates in turn, only the identification codes required to pass through the protective cover outwards are entered in their identification systems, and there is no identification code required for returning home.
