Chapter 1057 Escape Pod

Before getting the Swan, Li Chengxi had always been driving the Manta Ray. It was hard to tell at that time that Alyssa was actually a very capable captain.

Not to mention that the performance of the Swan after the modification was far higher than that of ordinary cruise ships. Even under the same conditions, Alyssa was confident that she could win a one-on-two battle.

In less than five minutes, both pirate ships returned to their parts, but this also made Li Chengxi, who was planning to go out for a walk, speechless.

Damn, I didn't get the meat because I acted too late!

"Boring, why are there no pirates hiding in the wreckage?"

"Brother Li... Even if there are pirates hiding, they would have died by now."

Fang Lanyin complained about Li Chengxi and continued to operate the temporary mechanical arm installed on the Manta Ray to cut off a key part of the engine.

After the battle, of course, the battlefield had to be cleaned up. The two pirate ships were still quite fat, and the Swan also deliberately avoided the position that might be the cargo hold when attacking.

From the goods stolen by pirates to their own supplies, now they have all become space garbage, and whoever picks it up will own it.

In this way, he really did the job of a recycler, that is, picking up junk.

"Are the parts on the old warships valuable?"

"Some are general parts, which can be used to fill the repair warehouse resources on the Swan, and those that are not used can also be sold."

Recyclers are the group of people who like war the most besides mercenaries. It's not that they are willing to participate in the war themselves, but every time the war is over, recyclers can rush into the battlefield to pick up junk.

Don't underestimate picking up junk. Many recyclers' starships are picked up by picking up junk.

"Brother Li, open the cargo hold. There shouldn't be much valuable stuff after loading this batch of parts."

"Still loading? I feel like I'm driving a train now..."

Behind the butt of the Manta Ray hangs a string of containers, all of which were picked up just now.

The rear hatch was opened, and Fang Lanyin stuffed a large piece of parts removed from the engine into the cargo hold. Then she stood up from the driving seat and went to the cargo hold to secure the things with cables.

"Speaking of which, I didn't see much of the wreckage of the high-speed commercial ship."

"Maybe it was blown to pieces. When civilian ships are attacked, they disintegrate very quickly. The engine we just dismantled is from a high-speed commercial ship."

Civilian ships don't make too many protective designs for attacks. This is like the displacement of a freighter is equivalent to that of an aircraft carrier, but its ability to withstand attacks is far less than that of an aircraft carrier.

Civilian ships have various uses and will be specialized for their uses, such as comfort and speed. Therefore, even if they have the same tonnage, their structural strength is far inferior to that of a warship.

There should be nothing nearby that needs to be recycled. When Fang Lanyin returned to her seat, Li Chengxi turned the joystick and planned to return.

"Brother Li, look, that is also the wreckage of a high-speed commercial ship."

Not far away, there was a relatively intact hull shell with an emblem that looked like a flower printed on it to prove its ownership.

The hull can also be worth some money, but the Swan has limited warehouses. If it is a starship, there will be nothing left nearby, except for the corpses.

Fang Lanyin didn't recognize this emblem either. She used the mechanical arm to flip the broken hull.

As the mechanical arm opened the hull, there was something that looked like a cone underneath.

It was an escape pod.

However, the escape pods on the warships are all the kind of heavy and bulky, and the surface of this cone-shaped escape pod is silver-blue, with a certain technological beauty.

It is likely to be an escape pod on a high-speed commercial ship that was destroyed by pirates.

–--——----

The Manta Ray really pulled a string of containers back to the Swan like a train. Fang Lanyin untied the steel cable buckled on the escape pod and was trying to open the escape pod with tools.

The escape pod has a small space, and all the redundancy is used to equip the life support system. There is no extra space for the airlock. In order to prevent accidental touch, once the escape pod is launched, it cannot be opened from the inside and can only be disassembled from the outside with tools.

Fang Lanyin also disassembled the escape pod for the first time, but she often helped maintain the warships when she was in Alan Starlink, and she knew something about the structure of the escape pod.

Although the shape is a bit special, the structure is similar.

After a few efforts, Fang Lanyin found the switch and twisted it with a wrench.

Accompanied by the sound of hydraulics, one side of the conical escape pod opened like a petal.

Hall and Sophia, who were guarding nearby, immediately raised their guns and aimed at the hatch. Although there is a rescue obligation similar to that of a sea ship when sailing outside, anything can come out of the escape pod, so you still need to be careful.

What's more, this escape pod is not normal.

Generally, after the escape pod is launched, it will immediately open a distress signal and wait until it is picked up by other ships. However, this escape pod has always been silent. Even if it is afraid of being discovered by pirates, now that the pirates are gone, the escape pod has not sent any signal, obviously not wanting to be discovered.

In this abnormal situation, it is better to be more careful.

Fang Lanyin quickly stepped back. In the open escape pod, two figures walked out tentatively.

"Please don't shoot, we are not carrying weapons."

It still sounds like a very sweet female voice, but it does not make people feel at ease. Hall and Sophia pointed their guns at the figures.

Alyssa shouted at this time:

"Raise your hands and walk out slowly. Don't make any suspicious movements. After proving your identity, we will protect you according to the obligations stipulated by the Star Cluster Law."

The two people in the escape pod seemed to have a brief conversation, but they still walked out.

The first person to pass through the shadow was a...

Why does he look like a robot?

This description is not quite accurate. It looks like a Gundam shrunk to human size, but it looks like a full metal body, but it has the flexibility of flesh.

Then, the second person also came out.

Compared to the previous robot, this time it looks like a normal human woman at first glance. You can even see that she is wearing a bubble skirt that is not suitable for running. She is probably about fifteen or sixteen years old.

But when she walked under the light, she found that the exposed skin of this person reflected a luster similar to stone, and her hair was not hair at all, but a large piece of bright pink crystal in the shape of hair. The whole person is more like a human-shaped mineral or gem than a person.

Li Chengxi was very surprised by this. What the hell is this?

However, Alyssa, who has traveled a lot and seen a lot, obviously knew them. She looked at the two people, confirmed that they were not carrying weapons, and gestured to Hall and Sophia to move the gun away.

"A silicon-based person and a crystal person? You are really a strange combination."

Alyssa said it was strange because the silicon-based people and the crystal people were actually enemies and had fought for many years. Even if peace is maintained now, people of these two races still don't give each other a good face when they meet.

Not only are these two people traveling on the same ship, but the silicon-based people are also like the guards of the crystal people, using their bodies to block the guns.

This is very interesting.
