Chapter seven hundred and seventeen first to repair the ship
At the same time, "an important candidate for Time Lord" and "one of the powerful Time Lords" is indeed leading his friends, driving a battleship riddled with holes, and is traveling in the abyss nebula.
Also sailing in the direction of the Gate of Glory.
"Ah sneeze..." Yu Lian, who was in a meeting with all his friends, wiped his nose and looked at the nebula outside the porthole for no apparent reason.
I have to admit that the environment of the Abyss Nebula does look quite disharmonious. Large swaths of the sky are rendered in a heart-stopping blood-red color, which makes people panic when looking at it. When you are in it, it feels like...
It is quite reasonable to be infected by strange space viruses while swimming in the blood sea of hell.
...It's just as reasonable as if a Super Saiyan would die of a heart attack, right?
Therefore, someone must be cursing me. But it doesn't matter. People have been walking in the world for so long. Even a popular and good person like me will have a few enemies.
Yu Lian curled his lips angrily and said angrily to his friends at the scene: "According to the information transmitted by the beacon left by the Great Khan, we should take this channel to meet them."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and drew a line on the star map. It happened to start from the Ash 07 galaxy in the Extreme Star Region, pass through a corner of the vast Abyss Nebula, and connect to the Gate of Glory.
"At least it can be proved that this channel can be used by large ships. This is the only way we can go now." Yu Lian said to everyone: "In short, just leave the job of the navigator to me. The Ero people's fleet
If you can walk through a gravity well, of course I can too."
No one doubts this, since Yu Lian has proven it just now.
"The pilot and the captain are the same person. It seems that this is only true for small boats." Feifei laughed.
"There are only thirty people on the whole ship, aren't they from the small boat?" Yu Lian shrugged: "In short, the first priority is to repair the ship, let's not talk about the material problem, but with our few manpower, we can't do it anyway.
not enough."
Indeed, in the current state of the Scarlet Throne, if it is not repaired, it will probably fall apart after jumping to a few galaxies. But there are only less than thirty friends on site, even if they are all powerful and tentacle monsters
, you can’t even build a six-million-ton giant ship!
"As long as the manpower problem is solved, there will be nothing to worry about." Yu Lian added.
"Yes, it's a matter of materials." Agnes said.
Yu Lian pretended not to hear, and looked at the only two people on the scene who were not members of his friends, namely General Huitan, who was still breathing but not dead, and the ship's second officer Haita.
As we all know, the Marauder's warship is simply a larger pirate ship. Even a warship like the Scarlet Throne with enhanced firepower has a large number of sailrooms. Although after so many battles, it was finally destroyed.
The space bubble torpedo penetrated the waist, but according to the data fed back by the ship's center, there are more than 30,000 crew members still alive.
These people are now locked in their respective cabins.
In fact, the safest way is to directly use the central control to evacuate the air from those cabins. In this way, as long as you wait a few more minutes, everyone will be able to harvest a ghost ship that is completely their own and will definitely have no resistance.
Someone really suggested this to Yu Lian, and it was in front of General Huitan and Haita. Thinking of this, the two plunderers felt their hearts tremble, and they wished they could get over it right now.
General Huitan was slumped on his chair like a vegetable, and it was difficult to even make an expression. On the contrary, the second officer Haita showed a pleading look. He wanted to tell him that there were still many sailors on the ship.
Just freeing up some manpower is enough, but I am worried that saying this will make the other party misunderstand that I have ulterior motives. If I am to be chopped off with a click, where can I reason?
Haita was in a dilemma and felt extremely tormented.
At this time, I heard Feifei say: "There are too many prisoners of war in the plunderers, so we can't let them out for the time being. However, when I was checking the structure of the ship just now, I discovered that there is actually a slave labor cabin on top, and there are also
More than four hundred people."
Yu Lian looked at the two Marauder prisoners of war.
With only half a breath left, Huitan twitched the tentacles at the corner of his mouth and didn't know how to answer for a moment. However, Haita next to him quickly added: "Just, the slaves who escaped before... ah no, technical talents. So we
That’s why I had to bring it with me.”
As we all know, the Predator Tribe Alliance claims to be an interstellar nomadic empire entrenched in the center of the galaxy, and it is indeed quite nomadic. When they invade civilized countries, in addition to plundering food and wealth, they will also plunder people. Most of the people they plunder will return home.
Being used as consumables, the average lifespan is even lower than that of slave labor in the Empire's mines and ordinary workers in the Alliance's sweatshops.
The only ones that are not consumables, apart from dignitaries who can be exchanged for large ransoms, are technicians with specific skills. Doctors, senior technicians, engineers and scientists are all within this scope.
Of course, liberal arts students and artists are definitely within the category of consumables.
After capturing the Lion's Den Fortress, the residents of Farland and the refugees who had just escaped once again fell into the hands of the predators. Time was limited and the war situation was urgent. It was difficult to determine the identity of the local residents of Farland, but the refugees
However, the identity information of the poor people in the camp was available. So, the troll and the long-bearded demon bargained and divided up half of the important technical personnel.
It must be admitted that General Huitan is actually a new type of warlord who understands "people-oriented"! He even didn't forget to take these technical personnel with him when he ran away.
"You are a good warlord." Yu Lian gave General Huitan a thumbs up.
He looked at Yu Lian with a dejected look, but he felt so weak that he couldn't even smile a little, and even the dizziness in his head became more and more intense.
Can you send me to the medical cabin? I think I can still save him.
"Connect the slave labor camp's communications, communicate with them, and ask a representative to come and talk to me." Yu Lian said.
Mr. and Mrs. Ursnov escorted the second officer, the long-bearded demon, over to do the operation. The couple were old people. When they were doing planet development work, they even had to communicate with the indigenous people.
"Mr. Ginsu, you and your people should go over there. You must comfort those poor people."
Of course, if there is an extreme situation, he will need his group of Terrabi mercenaries to restore order.
"It would be nice if we could select some people with experience in operating ships." Feifei said: "Even if the ship is repaired, it is unrealistic for just a few of us to safely operate this huge ship."
"Didn't it go well just now?" Agnes asked.
"That's just good luck. In our current state, if we take a few destroyers, we will only get beaten. Do we still expect this computer to be able to fight?" Yu Lian sneered.
The second officer of Haita, who was helping Maozi and his wife connect to the slave cabin, hesitantly raised his hand and said cautiously: "I, the villain can still choose some candidates... I, I, just let my life go."
, I am your humble slave! Your unswerving slave!"
Yu Lian glanced at him coldly for a day, and the long-bearded monster suddenly did not dare to speak anymore.
"In short, if we solve the problem of manpower, everything will be solved." Yu Liandao.
"How to get the professional materials for ship repair? Most of the ship material warehouse has been blown up." Agnes was still worried.
Speaking of this, she still had lingering fears. You must know that if the empire's space bubble torpedo was deflected by a few dozen meters, it would have detonated the ship's weapons depot. Although there was not much ammunition left in it,
It's not a problem to die by the way.
This ancient Meiya delinquent girl who only had a degree in a public high school on an edge planet probably met a famous teacher during this period. She was forced by the whip to master a lot of basic ship knowledge, and she could barely use it with two fingers.
Some terminal equipment on the bridge can at least be used as an ordinary bridge soldier A or the like.
"There will always be a way." Yu Lian said.
"Well, you, Miss Fina, he..." Agnes became anxious and couldn't help but look at Fife for help.
"Well, there should be a way." Feifei looked at Yu Lian and smiled sweetly.
The subsequent development was also very smooth. The poor people on the ship who fell into the hands of the predators for the second time had already been appointed. Now that they heard that the ship had fallen into the hands of active military officers on Earth, they were all overjoyed.
Although it always feels a bit strange for a group of Terrabi mercenaries to appear here, it is enough.
Soon, an old man who looked about sixty years old came to the bridge as a representative of the refugees to contact Yu Lian and his party. This was a gentle and elegant old man, although he could not hide his fatigue and malnutrition.
, but the spirit is still good.
What surprised Yu Lian and Feifei was that although this old man had slightly pointed ears and silver eyes like the Tirillo people, he also had black hair typical of East Asian men on Earth.
Needless to say, this is a hybrid of Earthling and Tirero.
Of course, this old man was much more surprised than Yu Lian. It was already strange that a group of Terrabi mercenaries came on the ship, but now they were led by two Earthlings wearing Community uniforms.
The old man must have been used to strong winds and waves, so he introduced himself as Xie Yiwei, who used to be an engineer.
"Oh, Dr. Xie, I have long admired your name! You are still alive. This is the best news in this period." Yu Lian quickly held the old gentleman's hand and shook it vigorously.
This is no polite talk. Yu Lian really knows this old gentleman now.
This old man immigrated to the Empire from Earth three generations ago, and his ancestors were all well-known navigators. He himself was also one of the designers of the famous Apocalypse Eagle destroyer.
More than a month ago, it was he who escaped from the Galactic Center with a group of refugees and accepted the asylum of the Lion's Den Fortress. Although thinking about it now, this successful escape might also be a conspiracy of the predators, but this is different from the refugees.
They themselves have nothing to do with each other. According to the empire's consistent style, after everything has settled, the empire will even award the old gentleman with medals and titles.
However, after King Su's army liberated the Lion's Den and the Far Country Star, Dr. Xie was not found among the local people, and they thought he might have died in the rebel army. So, even the funeral was held
Schedule.
When Yu Lian hung up on the bridge of the Dawn Angel, of course he listened to the whole process, and of course he also heard the old gentleman's information.
"I can only say that the spirit of the universe still cares for the elderly, but unfortunately... many people do not have such good luck." Dr. Xie Yiwei showed a sad and bitter smile, but then said: "However, noble officials belong to the community.
Officer, why are you here? May I ask, where is the army of the empire?"
A wise man who can lead a large group of refugees to escape from the center of the galaxy has a very keen sense of smell.
Yu Lian smiled and said: "To put it simply, a week ago I was a member of the community's military observation group. I followed His Royal Highness King Suliuka's army to defeat the plunderers, and made some small and insignificant contributions. However, later,
I had some trouble with His Highness again, so I took some of my friends to go ahead. I happened to pass by here and grabbed the boat."
The old man felt that this was too simple, but of course he didn't mind: "You are a frank gentleman."
He immediately said: "There are currently 427 refugees on the ship, 89 of whom are seriously ill and need medicine and medical cabins. Also, after everyone was kidnapped on the ship, they only had to eat every day
After a meal, most people are very weak and need to supplement their nutrition. As long as these are solved, we are willing to obey your orders."
Yu Lian smiled: "Can you help me check the current condition of the ship? If it needs repair...it doesn't need to be completely restored, as long as the basic navigation and jump safety can be guaranteed. Let's see what materials and tools are needed.
, make a list for me."
The old gentleman nodded with relief and went to work.
Sometimes, there is no need to commit, it will come naturally.
When the old man took Feifei and the others to start work, Yu Lian immediately lifted the blockade of the food and material warehouse, and wearing a heraldry machine, he led Zeverus in and killed seven in and seven out. Locking everything in the warehouse
The hundreds of looter guards were all wiped out, and then the refugees who were still able to move were notified to come over and move their things.
The refugees who came to help looked at Yu Lian, who was like a god descending to earth, and then realized that they were really safe. Many people even knelt at Yu Lian's feet and cried loudly.
Looking at these miserable people who had been tortured so much, Yu Lian couldn't help but shoot into the sky again and order them not to kneel down.
"Are you really officers of the community? Not astral knights?" Of course Mr. Xie also saw all this through the surveillance camera and was puzzled.
When a person wears a heraldic machine, carries an atomic light spear, and has a dragon behind him, what else can he be but an Astral Knight?
Feifei smiled: "This situation is a little complicated. However, you just need to believe that we have no ill intentions towards you. When time permits, we will find a way to send you home."
Dr. Xie was tempted to gossip for a while, but he still held it back. With his rich experience, he knew that the more interesting the news, the more it would not be a good thing to hear.
By this time, the fighting in the warehouse was over. Everyone piled the corpses of the looters together and took them to the incinerator on a trolley, and began to count the supplies.
There is indeed not much food and medicine left. Of course, the looters have never had sufficient supplies in this area. However, this is based on the original nearly 100,000 crew members on the ship. If it is given
If hundreds of people use it, it's really a huge pile.
After the refugees were driven to the enemy ship and endured hunger for half a month, they finally had a full meal and were so happy that they wanted to cry. Of course, the experienced Mr. Ginsu and his mercenaries
While watching from the side, there was no tragedy in which anyone ate too much and was starved to death.
Taking this opportunity, Mr. Ginsu also tallied up the list.
There are 427 people in total, including citizens of various countries, and even more than 30 citizens of the Community.
Excluding those seriously ill ships that cannot be moved for the time being, there are a total of fifty-six people with experience in ship driving. Although they are all merchant ships, they are better than nothing. There are 251 mechanics, and of course not everyone has repaired ships.
, but they are all experienced with machines and can at least be used as a starting point. More than thirty of them even have experience in space operations. In addition, there are twenty-four engineers, ten of whom are actually ship designers and manufacturers.
and repair fields.
"Precious human resources" that can be taken away on ships by plunderers naturally have such gold content.
With the addition of these people, although it is impossible to restore all the functions of the ship, it can at least start working.
So, within two days, Dr. Xie gave me good news.
"I removed the usable armor plates and reinforced them at the central axis and bridge. Then I tried my best to fill the gaps at the rear with emergency recovery fluid. This can at least ensure that the entire hull will not be damaged during the next jump.
fall apart."
"You see, as long as we have manpower, there won't be any problems." Yu Lian said with a smile.
"Yes, it's a matter of materials." Agnes said helplessly.
Yu Lian thought to himself that this girl's recent job was indeed too easy.
