795. Death Trap
Near the asteroid belt on the outskirts of the third planet in the Valk system, Jedi Knight Baloi and his troops rode an Aquitens-class light cruiser to the place where the signal was sent.
"General, the signal source is intermittent and seems to be weakening." A technical soldier said, "It is confirmed to be a severely damaged mining spacecraft. The spacecraft has been captured by the planet's gravity and is expected to be on the planet after 51 standard hours. Crashed.”
Baloyi looked at the image of the spacecraft displayed on the screen. It was a mining spacecraft produced by Corellian Engineering Company. The database showed that it was a model from more than 2,000 years ago, and judging from the number on the outside, the spacecraft had also been It has a history of more than 560 years.
The spacecraft is about 400 meters long, has a huge cargo hold and three sets of mining equipment, and can accommodate more than 1,000 crew members and 250,000 tons of cargo.
But the spacecraft that now appears on the screen has great damage to its hull, especially in the middle of the hull. Something has directly punched a big hole, and countless fragments are slowly swirling around it. The anti-gravity system and stabilization system of the spacecraft should have also been destroyed, and are now floating crookedly.
"General, according to the scan, there are 5 to 13 life signals on the spacecraft. Because the situation inside the spacecraft is complicated, the data is not accurate. In addition, the spacecraft's life-support device is leaking oxygen. It is estimated that those survivors will not survive for long." Cloning The human commander came over and said.
"Go up and take a look, hoping to get some clues about the invaders from these survivors. We can't fight the shadows, we must expose these things to the sun!" Baloyi said decisively.
He put on simple protective equipment, then took 30 soldiers on a shuttle and flew towards the mining spacecraft.
Baloyi is a Jedi Knight. He has not yet grown into a Jedi Master to the extent that he can survive in space by relying on the Force. In fact, even a Jedi Master still needs at least a respirator to enter the vacuum of the universe.
[General, we cannot establish contact with this spacecraft, so we cannot go to the hangar or docking bay. 】The clone commander said in the communication.
"It doesn't matter, let's go in through the gap in the spacecraft. I'll drive." Baloyi's last words were to the pilot.
He took over the driving of the spacecraft, and then used his force power to sense everything around him. He controlled the spacecraft to carefully avoid the floating debris around him, and then flew in through the blasted hole in the spacecraft with great accuracy.
The shuttle door opened, and the clone soldiers relied on jet packs to fly toward the interior of the spacecraft. This jet pack was standard equipment for combat in a gravity-free environment and could not be used in a gravity environment.
Baloyi jumped out of the hatch. He didn't need a jetpack. He only used the force to pull things around him, and then he could move freely in this space.
They moved forward along the gap in the spacecraft. Along the way, there were broken pieces everywhere, as well as ores blown out of the cargo hold.
"General! There are corpses here!" a clone trooper greeted.
Baloyi flew over under the influence of the force, and sure enough he saw the body of a crew member floating among a pile of debris. He looked carefully and found that the body was hit in the back, and the entire hit area was burned. It became a big black hole.
"This is not a blaster wound, nor a laser gun... It looks like it was slightly stirred here with a lightsaber." Baloyi frowned, "It is indeed a plasma weapon. Send the information back to the spacecraft. Search Let’s find out which organizations or races in this galaxy are using individual plasma weapons.”
[The search has been completed, and there are 127 races and 42 organizations that meet the criteria. But there are none of these active in the wild star field. 】The voice of the clone commander came from the communication.
"Keep moving forward." Baloyi nodded, "Guide me the closest route to the survivors."
[There is a hatch at your 10 o'clock position. According to the scan, the electronic system there is still intact. As long as it can be accessed, I can force the door open with military authority. However, this door is blocked by a large piece of spacecraft debris. 】
"Leave it to me." Baloyi approached there, pulled out his lightsaber and inserted it directly into the fragments, and then moved slowly.
The lightsaber's millions of degrees of temperature melted and cut the fragments in an instant, and then they were severed in two. Baloyi used his greatest force, grabbed the fragment and pushed hard. The large 7- to 8-meter-long fragment was actually pushed away! Expose the hatch at the back.
A clone trooper immediately found the location of the hatch switch and connected the data line, and the Aquitens-class light cruiser immediately entered the military authorization. In times of war, military authorization is above all else. As long as the level is in place, the door to any civilian facility or spacecraft can be opened.
The red indicator light on the door went out, and then an electric spark exploded. It seemed that the green light was damaged, but the hatch still slid open silently.
A strong stream of air spurted out from the door, followed by two corpses, as well as countless fragments and blood.
[General, this spacecraft has lowered its compartment. Once you enter, just close the door and repressurize it. 】
Baloyi nodded, waited for the airflow to stop, climbed into the cabin, closed the door, and started the pressurization system.
The air filled the place again, and Baloyi also took off his respirator. He drew his lightsaber and moved forward on guard. But it has to be said that in such a gravity-free environment, no matter what you do, it is very inconvenient and very inflexible.
In fact, the Jedi move in such an environment in a similar way to Spider-Man, and the Force is the spider silk in their hands.
They followed the instructions and headed all the way towards the small cabin of the target. The road was a mess. They saw at least a hundred corpses. These corpses died in horrific ways. Some died of suffocation, and some were killed by plasma weapons.
The uneasy feeling has been lingering in Baloyi's heart, and the Force has been reminding him that this place is very dangerous and he should leave as soon as possible.
But Baloyi was hesitant because he didn't know where the crisis was. He saw no enemies, and it was hard to imagine what else could be here.
Maybe it's the sense of crisis brought about by this about-to-fall spaceship?
For the first time, Baloyi had some doubts about the Force.
"General, I feel very strange here..." said a clone soldier. "Based on the situation here, this spacecraft has obviously been invaded by boarding and has completely collapsed. Under such circumstances, Is there anyone alive who can send us a distress signal?"
"Maybe it's a trap." Baloyi's eyes became firm, "But we can only step in and see who the thing that appears is. If we retreat here, then this thing will appear again Hide, then go to the next colony and start killing again.”
"That's what I thought, General." The clone trooper nodded.
"Is there anything wrong with the scanning device?" Baloyi asked another soldier.
The soldier held a scanning device in his hand, shook his head and said: "There are mechanical signals everywhere inside the spacecraft. The energy of this spacecraft has not been completely cut off. Many equipment are still operating. The signals are too complicated to even determine the survival." position.”
[Don't worry, General, the scanner on the spacecraft can see the survivors. They're still there, probably unconscious, their vital signs are fading, and you need to speed up. 】
Baloyi pushed away the horrified corpse of a crew member in front of him and flew towards the target cabin.
This cabin was in the core area of the spacecraft. After the spacecraft was damaged, the terrain became very complicated. They walked for another 5 minutes before arriving.
Judging from the icon on the hatch, this is a power distribution room, which should be very narrow, with three survivors squeezed in here.
The feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and Baloyi said: "You guys stay back and I will handle it."
The clone troopers nodded, stepped back a few meters, and then formed a circular array to surround the place.
Baloyi opened the hatch, and the terrifying scene in front of him almost shocked him! !
Only three crew members were seen naked in the power distribution room. They were chained and there was no movement except for instinctive twitching.
Before Baloyi could take action, three steel thorns suddenly stretched out from bottom to top, piercing them directly!
Immediately after a burst of powerful electric current flashed, the bodies of the three people shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then a large amount of nano-tissue was injected from their dry blood vessels, and their muscles and joints began to glow a little.
Red light!
"Let's go!!" The crisis in Baloyi's heart instantly amplified to the extreme, and he immediately used the Force to grab a floating table in front of him.
Almost at this moment, these three people exploded! ! !
Boom~~! ! ! ! ! The powerful electromagnetic pulse spread instantly along with the electromagnetic pulse. The powerful impact blew everyone present away, spinning continuously in a gravity-free environment, making it almost impossible to stabilize their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding cargo boxes exploded one by one, countless ores flew everywhere, and dazzling rays of light shot out from each cargo box!
All I saw was a humanoid robot emerging from it! These robots have soft bodies, and it would be almost impossible to connect them to the robots if not for some exposed pipes.
Moreover, their head is a sensor like a flashlight, and the rays of light are emitted from the sensor.
After these robots got out of the cargo box, they immediately picked up the plasma rifles in their hands and fired wildly at the clone soldiers!
Countless light blue plasma balls flew out and exploded on the clone soldiers who had not yet stabilized their bodies. Their polymer alloy combat armor blocked part of the plasma mass, but quickly disintegrated and melted under the high temperatures.
One by one the clone troopers were killed.
Baloyi forcibly stabilized his body, raised his hand and pushed back, blocking the plasma shot at him. Ripples of energy actually rippled on those robots, which were deflection shields!
The clone troopers also quickly stabilized themselves with jet packs, quickly entered the bunker to take cover, and opened fire.
There were more than 50 robots that emerged from the cargo box. They kept shooting, and their shooting skills were extremely accurate. The clone soldiers, led by Baloyi, fought and retreated toward the outside of the cabin.
"We were attacked! We were attacked! It's an unknown robot!" The clone soldiers rushed to the spacecraft for help.
【We have seen it! More signals appeared in this spacecraft, more than 100 in number! There is another part heading behind you! ] Said the other side of the spaceship.
"Request support!"
[Open fire and shoot! Use the minimum power to blow up that cabin! 】The clone commander made a prompt decision.
The twin-mounted turbolaser cannon of the Aquitens-class light cruiser immediately adjusted its direction, aiming at another cabin in the direction of the path behind Baloyi and others, reduced the firepower output, and then opened fire directly.
Boom~~~! ! ! The unprotected mining spacecraft was suddenly blasted with a large hole by a turbolaser cannon. From the hole, the mangled remains of the robots flew out.
But there were more robots that also started their jet devices and flew across the big hole in the direction of Baloyi.
[General, retreat from the gap quickly! Let's come closer! 】The clone commander began to direct the spacecraft to move closer to the mining spacecraft.
They did not dare to continue firing turbolaser cannons, so they used close-in defense weapon systems to shoot wildly at those robots.
Baloyi and the surviving clone soldiers rushed out of the ambushed cabin, but more and more robots rushed over, and these robots were very flexible. Their feet should be equipped with electromagnetic devices that can stick to the spacecraft cabin. It can move against the wall and turn on the jet device to take off when necessary.
In such a gravity-free environment, these robots are actually more flexible than clone troopers!
"Hurry up! I'll cut off the rear!!" Baloyi walked at the end, waving his lightsaber, and bounced back all the dense plasma balls shot by the robots.
【Hurry up! ! The robot's signal is close to 200! 】The clone commander said eagerly.
The docking bays of the Aquitens-class light cruiser were opened, and dozens of clone soldiers fixed themselves in the bays, firing desperately at the robots.
The firepower of the robots was also very fierce, and some even picked up anti-armor rocket launchers to shoot at the light cruiser. Although it could not shake the shield of the spacecraft, the power of such constant explosions also made the situation on the scene more dangerous.
At this moment, Baloyi's heart suddenly throbbed violently, almost stopping his heartbeat!
He felt it!
die……
Death is inevitable...
At the same time, the clone commander's scream came from the communicator, "General!! A violent energy reaction occurred in the energy core of the spacecraft! No! This thing has been installed with a reverse reaction bomb!! It's going to explode!!"
"Asshole!!" Baloyi yelled, instead of retreating, he advanced directly towards those terrifying robots.
Dense plasma balls shot at him,
Shake the shield of the spacecraft, but the power of such continuous explosions also makes the situation on the scene more and more dangerous.
