Chapter 728 Alan Star Chain

The Planetary Defense Force is not an army. Its work is similar to that of the Coast Guard. The weapons and equipment it uses are also inferior to those of the regular army. They are basically retired military equipment.

But precisely because their work is similar to that of the Coast Guard, they are the ones who know the Void Pirates best.

What kind of pirates are they? No matter how bad they are, they can't beat a shuttle. If they really have to be this bad, they might as well find a class.

So when Li Chengxi drove the Manta into the airlock of the Planetary Defense Force's heavy cruiser according to instructions, the people on the ship hoped that Alyssa would fulfill her promise and provide clear video identification.

As a result, not only the intelligence analyst was silent, but even the pilots who were watching the excitement in the hangar were silent.

The video was shot from the first perspective, like the picture of the car recorder. Due to the lack of instruments and enhanced UI, most of the time, only the dark void background can be seen, and the enemy cannot be seen.

But the few pictures can clearly identify that every subtle operation between lightning and fire will trigger an orange flash.

Only the last attack on the cruiser's engine was the clearest. You can clearly see that the machine gun shells quickly weakened the cruiser's energy shield and opened a gap from the weakest part of the tail. The shuttle drilled in from this gap in the shield that would be created if you were not careful, fired a few ion beams at the energy transmission pipeline, and then floated out in a posture comparable to reverse.

The whole set of operations was smooth and did not exceed five seconds in total. He even remembered to give the bridge another knife to ensure that all the pirates on the ship were dead.

Although the pirates used antiques and their performance in all aspects could be considered scrapped products, their design structure was no different from that of current military warships, and this fighting method could be applied to any ship.

Even the heavy cruisers of the planetary defense team would be seriously injured if they were not killed by such a combo.

It's not that no one has discovered this design flaw, but no one has thought that it can be used.

First, you have to break through the fleet released by the cruiser, and you have to complete a set of operations and finally get out before the shield is reloaded and restored.

The pilots were all numbed by this process. They didn't expect that Alyssa, who didn't look strong at all, could do such a smooth operation under high G force. Could she be gifted?

The pilots looked at Alyssa with awe. If they were not on a mission, someone would probably rush up to ask for advice.

Of course, Alyssa knew what happened, but she couldn't say that it was the shuttle itself. She was just sitting in the cockpit and watching.

In fact, if she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't believe that the organic soul was so powerful.

Facing the admiring eyes of the pilots, Alyssa had to show an awkward but polite smile.

—— Anyway, just fool around.

There is video evidence that the planetary defense team didn't hold on to it, but routine inquiries are still necessary.

For example, why did you come to our Alan Starlink, how did you get here, etc.

A shuttle couldn't fly over from the Gemini Space Station, and no one would believe that this shuttle had the ability to jump, but Alyssa had already thought of the answer when she was questioned.

She said she came from the Gemini Space Station to visit relatives and friends in the Alan Starlink. She had originally purchased the service of checking in people and machines, but the cargo ship would not approach the Alan Starlink, so she got off the car halfway near here. When she was driving the shuttle to the Alan Starlink, she was spotted by pirates.

This kind of "driving across the sea" operation is not a standard for regular passengers, but it is not uncommon. Some people like to travel around in aircraft, and it is not outrageous to check in places where small aircraft cannot go.

Alyssa also forged the check-in ticket stub in advance and sent it to the planetary defense team for review. The other party was even too lazy to identify it carefully.

Since Alyssa's identity was not a problem, the planetary defense team also helped a little and sent her directly to the Alan Starlink.

The largest cruise ship turned around, and the engine started the pulse flight mode. With a slight vibration, someone immediately notified Alyssa that you have arrived at the Alan Starlink and can get off the ship.

If you use a shuttle, it will take at least four or five hours to fly from the location where you encounter pirates to the Alan Star Chain, while pulse flight only takes a few seconds.

So cruise ships are necessary, but Alyssa can't afford them now.

After thanking the people from the planetary defense team, Alyssa approached the shuttle and the Manta flew out of the airlock.

A string of long objects that shimmered in the void, like chains, were reflected on the cockpit glass of the shuttle.

Each section of the chain is a small island, or like a large meteorite floating in the void, connected by pipes and huge chains, arranged in a string.

And meteorites of this size should not have any atmosphere, but at a glance, you can not only see mountains and rivers, but even if you get closer, you can see people driving tractors to plow the land.

They are like floating islands floating in the void, and also like a string of magnificent gemstone necklaces, wrapped in faint bubbles, with blue sky, white clouds, green grass and green trees.

This is the Alan Star Chain, a miracle.

"It is said that more than 400 years ago, an explorer named Alan came here and activated a relic on a lava planet. The Alan Star Chain was thrown out from the lava planet next to it. It is a natural void colony. Now it has become the largest food production base in the nearby galaxy and the most suitable place for retirement within 10 Yars.

"Then how can these floating islands have atmosphere?"

"It not only has an atmosphere, but also standard gravity. I don't know how it is done. This is the researchers' business, and no information has been released.

Alyssa stretched her neck and looked:

"Go forward, to the left of the transfer station in front, yes, enter the island chain.

Following Alyssa's instructions, a transport boat immediately drove over and asked Alyssa's destination. After getting a reply, it gave route instructions.

The shuttle entered the scheduled orbit, and at this time you will find that the star chain that looked like a necklace just now now looks very huge.

In fact, the area of ​​each star chain is not small, about 100,000 to 200,000 square kilometers, but it looks particularly small compared to planet-level stars.

Li Chengxi flipped the shuttle to adapt to gravity. I don't know if this counts as a single-machine entry into the atmosphere. Anyway, Li Chengxi didn't see the air friction caused by the descent of the shuttle. It felt like passing through a thin film.

The previous second was a dark void background, and the next second it was like driving directly into the normal atmosphere, with the blue sky above, the bright galaxy faintly visible, the sea directly below, and even flying fish jumping out of the water when zoomed in.

However, due to the influence of gravity, the shuttle suddenly felt heavy. The variable wings automatically unfolded, allowing the Manta to fly stably in the atmosphere.

This is really a novel experience.
