63. Counting
Seeing the things around him slowly falling, Cunte let out a long sigh of relief, "How should I say, thank you for not killing me or thank you for almost killing me with a pot of pothos just now? You know, even if Hundreds of pirates on Kukan's cruiser couldn't do it."
"What happened on the cruiser?" Tang Xiao asked with a frown, "If the last burst of explosions hadn't damaged the engine and slowed down the cruiser, I wouldn't have been so easy... Ah, by the way!! Where is the cruiser!?!?"
He suddenly remembered that he knew nothing after pressing the button to launch the proton torpedo. The only thing he still remembered was that the torpedo launch line was temporarily bridged to the air conditioning switch.
"Haha, don't worry. It's done. The proton torpedo you launched happened to enter from the auxiliary jet port of the cruiser. The main energy supply cut off by the explosion also destroyed the electronic system of the engine, so the entire cruiser immediately collapsed. Thanks to Thanks to you, manager, I can’t think of anyone else who can achieve such a precise strike.”
"and after?"
"Haha! It was fun later. Our fighter jets surrounded the cruiser, and the Oro-class cargo ship was preparing to board the ship, but they themselves started to mess up. Tieya Kuken wanted to fight to the end, but his first mate They disagreed and wanted to surrender, but the two sides started fighting among themselves. After our marines boarded the ship, they were still fighting, and then they were all easily solved."
"Where's Kuken?"
"I have been captured and have been sent to Dawn Planet. I will wait for you to wake up for public trial. The cruiser has also been towed back to the mothership. People in the engineering department are trying to find ways to repair the battleship. It should be ready in a few months. Our fighting strength is up.”
Tang Xiao was still lying on the hospital bed, turned his head and asked with a smile: "You haven't told me what you did on the cruiser yet."
Cunte waved his hand and said casually: "I found that they have actually had internal conflicts for a long time. The business of Kuken's pirate group has not been good recently. The Hammerhead-class cruiser is still too old and not fast. Even if I blocked some merchant ships, they were still run away in the end. So I incited some people to rebel and led them to attack the hyperspace engine cabin..."
He laughed as he spoke, "But those people were cowards. As soon as the fight started, Kuken scolded him on the radio and then went back obediently. So I had no choice but to run away, and they sent hundreds of people Come after me, I hid in the ventilation duct and killed a few people, and then got lucky and ran into the hangar platform."
The smile on Tang Xiao's face gradually disappeared. Although Cun Te said it lightly, he could only imagine how thrilling this process was!
"Then I was lucky. There was a fighter jet being repaired on the hangar platform. The proton torpedo launcher was removed and placed next to it. There was also a torpedo on it. So I sneaked over and fiddled with the wiring for a while, and the proton torpedo actually Launched! Hahahahaha!" Murote said and burst into laughter. "At that time, hahaha, did you see the expressions of those pirates? Hahahaha...Kuken started scolding directly on the radio, as if A few people were also executed. Then a quarrel started on the radio, and then the pirates started fighting among themselves... Hahahahaha!"
Tang Xiao said sternly: "You are launching proton torpedoes inside the battleship? Don't you want to live? You know you will probably die inside if you do this! Why don't you take the rescue capsule and leave together?"
"It's okay, I'm used to this kind of thing. They can't kill me."
"You are a legend of the Fourth Civilization and one of our flags. I would rather let this cruiser leave than have your safety be threatened!"
The smile on Cunte's face gradually disappeared. He also turned his head, looked at Tang Xiao with his eyes, and then said slowly: "We have always been dancing on the tip of the knife, haven't we? There are many things you haven't told us, But I can see that this universe is countless times more dangerous than we imagined, right?"
Tang Xiao sighed, looked back at the ceiling, and said faintly: "I had a dream, dreaming about a lot of things... about the future of this galaxy. I... really have no confidence that I can survive such a war."
"So, this is also my answer, manager, no... my friend." Murte said with a smile.
…
Tang Xiao's problem was mainly due to excessive use of the Force. He got up after resting in the infirmary for a long time.
Murte's injuries were not serious, mainly burns and skin trauma. Although it is reasonable to say that these injuries would take a few days to recover, the engineering team found several medical devices in the medical room of the Hammerhead-class cruiser. robot, and several bacta jars.
The Bacta tank is a medical cabin widely used in the Galactic Republic. By immersing people in a special liquid, it can stimulate cell division very quickly and allow wounds to heal quickly.
So people from the engineering department moved the medical robots and bacta tanks into the mothership. After soaking in it for a few hours, Murte quickly recovered.
Tang Xiao returned to the bridge of the mothership and found Clement counting the spoils of the battle. When he saw him coming, Clement quickly stood at attention and saluted.
The members of the staff on the other side, led by Qi Jian and Carles Wharton, all stood at attention and saluted. They expressed their respect to Tang Xiao in this way from the bottom of their hearts.
In this battle, everyone including Tang Xiao, Cunte, Yuri, Vitaly, Judith, Qi Jian and others used their own strength and wisdom to contribute their own efforts to the fourth civilization. all.
The most important thing is that during this battle, Tang Xiao conveyed this message very clearly to everyone - I am with you, and I will live and die with you. And Tang Xiao also did something that no one else could do.
For a supreme leader, there is no greater morale booster than this.
Clement came to Tang Xiao and reported: "Manager, the spoils have been tallied up."
"Say it." Tang Xiao nodded.
"The biggest gain is naturally the Hammerhead-class cruiser, which is 315 meters long. It has 2 medium-sized turbolaser cannons as main guns, 4 twin-mounted turbolaser cannons as secondary guns, and 8 close-in defense guns, including The 6-seater was added later. Now the power system of this battleship is seriously damaged and difficult to repair. The engineering department’s plan is to use our own products to completely replace the power system. It is expected to be completed in 3 months, but it requires Adding an additional 50 engineering department workers," Clement said.
