Fang Chen didn't care how miserable the fleet was, anyway, he was just catching gunboats one after another and blasting them to death, killing every one he could.
As time passed, one pirate gunboat after another was bombarded, and Fang Chen unknowingly destroyed ten gunboats.
The fleet also sank two frigates during this period, and the remaining four were forced to pull the transport ship forward to attract firepower.
The two destroyers are too powerful, even the lowest-level T1 destroyers. The problem is that the weapons of the pirates are mostly armored to increase firepower. Most of the configured modules are giant gun modules. On the basis of reducing the number of weapons, they can be configured L large weapon slot.
According to the power increasing law of weapon specifications, even the T1 level electromagnetic gun has a power of up to 450.
The two destroyers have not just two large weapon slots, but a total of eight, four on each side.
The two ships with a total of eight guns opened fire at the same time, and the power was so fierce that ordinary frigates could not defeat it.
But it’s not all bad news. The good news is that the two destroyers are still scarred even now, their shields are all broken, and a thick layer of armor has been blown off. It looks like it’s probably less than half, and the remaining hulls plus armor are estimated to be It's not as thick as Fang Chen's T5 frigate.
However, even if he was badly injured, he could not directly attack the destroyer. He had to destroy the escorting frigate first.
Pull far away and continue bombarding the gunboats on the edge.
If the pirates send too many gunboats over, he will retreat far away and fly kites, constantly consuming his vitality.
Anyway, it was the caravan's ship that sank, not his ship.
Five minutes later, the first medium-sized transport ship that was pulled up to be used as cannon fodder was exploded. When the hull was torn, a large number of containers sprayed out and scattered. Some of the containers were torn open, revealing pieces of limestone that had been preliminarily screened inside. with gneiss.
"Oh no, there are so many ores!"
This fleet should be a fleet of a team mining in this asteroid belt. They have a mining base inside. Whenever they accumulate enough ore, they will gather together and transport it to the nearest Chenxia Castle to sell it. .
This caravan has a total of twelve transport ships, two large and ten medium-sized. If they are all filled, their value will be extraordinary.
At this moment, greed suddenly surged into Fang Chen's heart.
According to the size of this fleet, even if it is all low-grade gray quartz, white quartz, and limestone gneiss, the total value is probably more than four to five billion.
If you come to have a black man and eat black...
Well, he quickly dismissed the crazy idea.
Can't pass the psychological level.
In his previous life, he was a kind-hearted young man. In this life, he was just starting out, and his heart was not so dark and ruthless. He really couldn't do anything so unreasonable as to swallow up a large amount of mines that others had worked hard to dig.
Unlike the previous conflicts, anyone can grab the mines found in the wild, and of course they won't be polite.
Maybe if I experience too much in the future, I might become black-faced and cruel, but I really can't do that now.
Of course, another important reason is that the value of this batch of goods is not high enough for him to break his principles of life.
He forcibly retracted his random thoughts and continued to attack the pirate gunboat.
Four minutes later, after he killed two gunboats in a row, another caravan warship sank, and now there were only three left.
At this time, the caravan sent another communication. A middle-aged man whose right eye had been mechanically transformed into an electronic eye and the right half of his head had been replaced with a metal shell appeared on the light screen and said in a deep voice:
"Brother, can you merge with my caravan and resist together? We only need to hold on for another hour or so, and reinforcements from our team will arrive. By then, in addition to the bounty just now, an additional 100 million star yuan will be paid to Brother, if your warship is damaged, compensate according to the price!"
Fang Chen shook his head and said:
"I can continue fighting, but I cannot merge with your fleet."
He explained:
"I only have these two ships. What if they sink? In the meantime, it will take at least three months to find a shipyard to order a new ship. I can't wait any longer."
The normal construction time for a frigate is two months, and an extra month is the estimated queuing time.
Xie Shinan, the caravan director, immediately said:
"Don't worry, brother, our studio has cooperated with a shipbuilding studio. If your ship sinks, there will be no need to queue up and it will be built immediately for you."
Fang Chen still shook his head:
"No, the captain and gunners on my ship have been practicing for a long time, and they are all above LV10. I can't bear to part with them."
"That's...okay."
Xie Shinan had nothing to say.
He himself owns several ships, and of course he knows how difficult it is to train captains and gunners to LV10 or above. It takes countless battles to train them, and no one would be willing to let them go.
After thinking for a moment, he sent another message:
"That being the case, it doesn't matter. How about we renew the previous bounty contract?"
Fang Chenqi said:
"How do I reorder?"
"It used to cost 200,000 to sink a T1 gunboat, 500,000 for a T2 gunboat, and 5 million for a destroyer. Now it has been changed to 1 million for sinking a T1 gunship, 2 million for a T2 gunboat, and 10 million for a destroyer. In addition, , if we can delay the arrival of our reinforcements, how about paying our brothers an additional 100 million for their hard work?"
Fang Chen was quite surprised. He immediately called up the contract and saw that the contract had been changed. He re-signed his name with a smile.
"Boss is a loyal man, don't worry, I will wait until your reinforcements arrive."
After turning off the communication, a young man next to Xie Shinan asked strangely:
"Uncle, why do we need to change the contract? Doesn't this mean we have to pay an extra 100 million?"
Xie Shinan looked back at his nephew, his right eye flashed red, and he said in an educational tone:
"The money you earn is meant to be spent. When you are in danger, if you can buy your life with money, don't be stingy. If you lose your money, you can make it again. But if you die once, you will lose at least 10 years of your life. This is It’s not worthwhile.”
"And you should be glad that he didn't take advantage of the situation. This extra 100 million is just to appease him and prevent him from taking advantage of the situation."
After saying this, Xie Shinan said to the captain of the frigate next to him:
"Be prepared. The fleet will abandon the merchant ships and not engage in direct combat with the enemy. However, it cannot break away from the battle and cannot allow pirates to hijack the merchant ships and drag them until reinforcements arrive."
Then, Fang Chen saw three tattered frigates abandoning the caravan and leaving the battlefield, but hanging far behind.
As soon as they left, the pirate ship set its sights on Fang Chen, and a destroyer and ten gunboats separated from the main force and sailed over.
"I knew it was hard to get the 100 million hard-earned money!"
Fang Chen couldn't blame others for doing this. Now that he had taken the money, he had to eliminate the disaster.
He thought for a moment and ordered the fleet to meet them head-on.
These ten gunboats and destroyers are all out of shape, their shields are broken, and their armor is cracked. Although it is dangerous to fight ten against one destroyer, it can be fought.
As long as this wave is destroyed, it will be easy for the remaining one destroyer and seven gunboats.
The two sides quickly approached, and the two frigates simultaneously focused fire on the destroyer in the center. Dozens of laser beams blasted the surface armor of the destroyer into pieces.
However, the powerful firepower of the eleven gunboats and destroyers also blasted the battleship's eggshell-like shield into ripples, and the brightness was weakened visibly to the naked eye.
