"So that's it." Su Qin suddenly realized it and quickly informed Academician Wang. He felt that he would not be able to catch up with the second target for a while.
Since the target is to fly to the Salt Star, the final possibility is to deal with enemies from several ships at the same time in the sky or on the ground of the Salt Star.
There are six more ships on the ground. Even the one currently chasing them, there are seven ships in total.
Su Qin only dared to let them stay behind the parapet and serve as watchdogs.
The captain personally brought the water pump and the high-temperature rubber steam pipe that could keep heat out of the cabin. Su Qin gave him the task of demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall.
We also need to get some water to fill the hole under the barge in the direction of the bow. On that barge, the shooting position behind the parapet was still crucial.
As for the damage to the ice in other places, I can't even find it now. It's really not painful or itchy.
But not everything is so optimistic. For example, the Taishan's plan to annihilate the enemy's warning troops in the orbit of the Salt star and then go to the surface of the Salt star to sneak attack the enemy's main force has come to nothing.
After Su Qin returned to the command room, he personally operated the laser rangefinder on the periscope to track and measure the target, and found that the distance was only a short six kilometers.
It is farther than what can be judged by naked eyes. It is probably because the open environment in space has an impact on human visual judgment.
This distance seems not far, but even if the protective shield is ignored, there are no weapons on the Taishan that can reach the opponent.
Su Qin continuously measured the distance for more than a minute, but did not find that the distance had shortened. The opponent was moving forward without any maneuvers. Only then did Su Qin have to admit that it was not easy for the Taishan to catch up with the opponent.
This is actually nothing. For the Navy, this kind of long-term pursuit is not very outrageous. Sail warships in the Age of Discovery often had chases and battles lasting more than ten days.
Even if we only talk about modern times, even the Taishan itself has had incidents where it had to deal with enemy submarines and surface ships for several days.
Currently, the Tarzan and its target are only an hour or two away from Salt Star. No matter who succeeds or fails, this chase will end by then.
So Su Qin is not actually worried that the other party will run away, he even hopes that the other party will run away. Whether they are cannibals or pirates, we should do something to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people, but that is not the mission this time.
If the opponent retreats due to difficulties, Su Qin will also choose to complete the current task first, and then turn around and fight again.
After listening to Wang Qinyun boast about the importance of boarding battle, Su Qin was in a daze and couldn't laugh or cry, but Staff Su was beaming. The core of the spaceship cannot be destroyed. The only way to shut down the core of the enemy ship is to rush into the enemy ship.
This is absolutely true regardless of whether there are still enemy forces on board the enemy ship. If the Taishan is upgraded to the Space Force, then according to this idea, the Space Force Marines will definitely be an important new thing with great potential.
An important reason why Wang Qinyun wants to tell Su Qin again is that she wants to join the war, put on armor and join a gang. This is the position she has found for herself. It sounded like a reasonable suggestion, but Su Qin didn't dare to agree.
He had never planned to use the two knights Wang Qinyun and Su Qin as combat power. It's not that he doesn't like it, so many people depend on these two to get home!
Moreover, Wang Qinyun can't do it alone, but she doesn't understand the language and can't cooperate with anyone else unless she sends Su Qin. But if Su Qin is gone, who else will control the core of the spacecraft? In short, it doesn’t work!
Dozens of minutes later, the special forces completed the work of cleaning the battlefield and cleared out a few trophies from the pile of debris. The entire process was in full view of the public, and nothing unexpected happened.
Only a few people thought they heard a few shots of silenced pistols.
The most eye-catching trophy was a bronze cannon, which was not very exquisite and looked almost identical to antiques on Earth, causing onlookers to marvel.
In fact, there are more cannons than this one, but the special forces were too lazy to put in the effort and thought it was enough to bring back such a sample.
The remaining trophies are all miscellaneous and rare gadgets, but none of them have any technological content. It seems that the pirates on this ship are very marginalized in this pirate group.
Only one piece of loot was inspected by Xiao Song and he felt like he had found a treasure. It was a thick pile of animal skins with fresh handwriting on it. The so-called divine writing was still based on the phonetic pronunciation of the divine writing, and it did not read in the Salt language.
No one can understand it, except the numbers. But the number in the last line above is surprisingly the serial number of the Salt Star. This pile of animal skins is most likely a navigation log.
If nothing else happens, Baron Heaton and everyone on the Tarzan will have the external route they dream of.
The water in the ballast water tank of the barge was a bit tight, so the captain could only cast two icicles under the bow barge as temporary support. There are only a few tons of water left.
He gave the special forces an idea to pour a circle of ice shells on the cabs and cargo compartments of the two forklifts used for unloading.
It can be regarded as preparing a little bit of armor and mobility for possible ground battles. Now we only need to add some weapons to it, and it will be a home-made armored vehicle.
Although the Taishan's trip did not completely rule out the possibility of encountering a ground battle, it definitely did not spend even a little bit of transportation capacity to solve the maneuvering problem of a ground attack.
Even those who truly have the ability to leave the Taishan for offensive operations are probably only those 12 special forces. The current situation is that they have to face six or seven ships of space pirates, and they may have to take the initiative to attack.
To be honest, this situation is no more proactive than the last time I came to Salt Planet.
Now, Salt Star has occupied most of the sky, and the distance between Tarzan and the target ahead has not changed much.
But the conspicuous light pillar in the core of the city has appeared in the sky on the other side of the Salt star. The short rest was about to end, and everyone returned to their fighting positions.
Only at this time can I spare a few minutes to take a few bites of the hot rice and dishes that have been prepared in the kitchen. It's really just a few mouthfuls. If you don't swallow all the food within a few mouthfuls, you may have to eat ice cream.
The current situation makes it impossible for everyone to go back to the cabin to eat. Su Qin firmly refused the request of the group of female soldiers in the cabin to rotate to outside the cabin to participate in the battle. This battle has already gone against the expected target practice. The output makes a big difference.
