They were hovering in the air not far from the protective shield of the city core on the asteroid, each dragging a thick cable behind them. The other ends of the straight cables were pointed at the center of the asteroid.
"Or you can drag a few more meteorites or asteroids to block the light pillar, but this still won't prevent the position on the core of the spacecraft from being exposed." Su Qin forcefully explained to him, but halfway through, even he felt that he couldn't justify himself.
"I understand." It was the experienced Baron who finally figured this out.
"They probably just want to hide in the asteroid belt. There are so many meteors there that flying into the core of the spacecraft won't last long, but there's no need to worry about the shield in the core of the city.
If they were already in the asteroid belt, I might suggest that we turn around and return to find another way.
Because if we fight inside the asteroid belt, their ships can wait for us at the edge or even inside the city core's shield, and we have to go through the asteroid belt to fight them, and I'm not sure our shields will be consumed by meteors by then. to what state. "
"But if they want to drag this thing in, their own boat must also go in!" Li Haixing still didn't understand.
"They can drag it a certain distance first and let the asteroid float. Once they reach the edge of the asteroid belt, the two ships can retract into the city's protective shield." The baron continued to explain to him.
"Just give it an initial velocity and throw it out. Then it will fly on its own." Su Qin looked down on Li Haixing angrily, "It's just a drop of a bomb, and you're still a pilot."
"Uh..." Li Haixing suddenly realized and quickly changed the topic. "What material is their cable made of? It doesn't even look like a chain here."
"That's an ordinary cable, except that it passed through two protective shields and was blessed by two protective shields."
"Oooh, just like the big fireball on Salt and the pipe to the atmosphere."
"So, we poured it out in a timely manner." Academician Wang had been listening and finally listened to the entire situation analysis. "It seems like they didn't expect us to arrive so quickly. If they had already entered the asteroid belt, we would be really in trouble."
"I think they may have simply miscalculated the time. It may take several months to drag this asteroid over." Zhao Rongguang, who was guarding the radio station on the Green Jade Waterbird, said quietly. I never dared to interrupt on the radio.
In the process of using divergent thinking to judge the pirates' intentions, Su Qin and Li Haixing controlled two ships respectively and continued to approach the target unsteadily, neither daring to be too fast nor too slow, trying their best to pretend that they were two pirate ships that had escaped.
Now the position of the two ships is very close to the city shield on the small star, but the two pirate ships still have no response. Maybe they can't make any other reaction at all and can only continue to pull the asteroid towards the small star. planetary belt.
The green Emerald Waterbird flying in front flew into the protective barrier and began to circle around the light beam in the core of the city, as if looking for a place to land. In fact, it was making final observations, but there was no one on the ground. .
This is good, the key to the action is not here, but the two pirate ships.
"Start the attack!" The final attack order was given by Academician Wang. The habit of starting movements accurately and at the same time was still very new to the Baron.
In his surprised eyes, the two boats operated by Su Qin and Li Haixing suddenly changed from their slow and steady movements, and the Green Emerald Waterbird violently pulled up from the protective cover.
Then he turned upside down and went through the protective shield. After half a somersault, he appeared on the other side of the asteroid, with the bow pointing directly at a pirate ship.
The blue emerald water bird was originally preparing to enter the shield at the edge of the shield. At this moment, it tilted the hull directly, brushed the edge of the shield at high speed, bypassed the small star, and rushed directly along the direction of a cable. To another pirate ship.
The diameter of the urban core protective shield is not small, so it is best for the green emerald waterfowl to be the first to engage the enemy.
According to the opinions of Academician Wang and Li Haixing, they are actually quite reluctant to let the Green Emerald Waterbird participate in the war. They think it would be better if the Baron's men prepare to serve as a transport team, especially Li Haixing. He just saw the Baron's men discharge several bronze doors on the deck. cannon.
These cannons are original equipment of pirate ships and are also found on the Blue Emerald Waterbird.
Li Haixing never thought that this thing would actually be used, because he had never seen anything similar on Salt Planet. Now the Baron suddenly discharged these things, which shocked both Li Haixing and Zhao Rongguang. .
Although it can be seen that the Baron's men still know what this is, but can they use it just because they know what it is? Seeing the unfamiliar movements of those people, Li Haixing only hated that he didn't have armor.
But it was impossible to open his mouth without letting the baron's men participate in the battle, so Li Haixing could only bite the bullet and sail up.
He now has two hopes. The first is that nothing happens to those cannons, and the second is that the Blue Emerald Waterbird must move faster. He really doesn't know what the situation will be like when the Baron's men encounter pirates. How to develop.
Although his automatic rifle can definitely ensure the safety of the bridge, this ship is still useful for transporting cargo. The port side has been damaged, but it cannot be completely destroyed.
The port side of the Green Emerald Waterbird was heavily damaged by Wang Qinyun, and the gun cabin below the deck was destroyed. The Baron had to concentrate all the artillery on the starboard side. In a traditional naval battle on earth, the ship would probably capsize, but now the Green Emerald Waterbird But it's still stable. I have to say that the core of the spacecraft is amazing.
Li Haixing rushed to the left side of the enemy ship at high speed and faced the enemy with the starboard side. When the two ships were completely parallel and only twenty or thirty meters apart, the protective shields had naturally merged together.
Li Haixing made an emergency stop, and the baron standing at the window immediately waved his arms downward vigorously, and suddenly the sound of gunfire rumbled on the deck. There were a few screams mixed in, and it seemed that something had finally happened.
"You stopped too close, move to the left." After a row of artillery fire, the baron turned back and shouted to Li Haixing.
"Ah?" Li Haixing didn't understand. In an artillery battle like this, isn't the closer the better? Anyway, we are ready to shoot.
However, the Baron was an expert at this time, and after the first round of artillery fire, Li Haixing immediately maneuvered the ship to the left.
But it was too late, only a loud bang was heard, and a huge black shadow flew high into the air, falling straight towards the green Emerald Plumbing Number.
