63. Counting
Seeing the things around him falling slowly, Cun Te breathed 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 on Kuken's cruiser, hundreds of pirates couldn't do this."
"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 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 be injected from the cruiser's auxiliary jet port. The explosion cut off the main energy supply and destroyed the engine's electronic system, so the entire cruiser immediately collapsed. Thanks to you, manager, I can't think of anyone else who can achieve such a precise strike."
"What happened next?"
"Haha! It was fun later. Our fighter jets surrounded the cruiser, and Auro class freighter was preparing to board the ship, but they themselves started to mess up. Iron Tooth-Kuken wanted to fight to the end, but his first mate did not agree and wanted to surrender. As a result, 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 is Kuken?"
"We have been arrested and have been sent to Dawn Star Planet. We will wait for you to wake up for public trial. The cruiser has also been towed back to the mothership. The people of the Engineering Department are trying to find ways to repair this battleship. It should be able to become our combat force in a few months."
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."
Cun Te waved his hand and said casually, "I found that they have actually had internal conflicts for a long time. The business of the pirate group Kuken has not been good recently. The ship Hammerhead-class cruiser is still too old and not fast. Even if it blocked some merchant ships, it was still run away. So I incited some people to rebel and led them to attack the cabin of the hyperspace engine..."
He laughed as he spoke, "But those people were cowards. As soon as they started fighting, Kuken scolded them on the radio and then went back obediently. So I had no choice but to run away. They sent hundreds of people to chase me. I hid in the ventilation duct and killed a few people, and then luckily ran into Hangar Platform."
The smile on Tang Xiao's face gradually disappeared. Cun Te Although he said it lightly, he could only imagine how thrilling this process was!
"Then I was lucky. There was a fighter jet being repaired by Hangar Platform, and 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 line for a while, and the Proton Torpedo actually launched! Hahahahaha!" Cun Te laughed loudly as he spoke, "At that time, hahaha, did you see the expressions of those pirates? Hahahaha... Kuken started cursing directly on the radio, and seemed to have executed a few people. Then they started to quarrel on the radio, and then the pirates started fighting among themselves... Hahahahaha!"
Tang Xiao said sternly, "You launched Proton Torpedo inside the battleship? Don't you want to live anymore! 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 Fourth Civilization, one of our flags. I would rather let this cruiser go than to have your safety endangered!"
The smile on Cun Te'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 a 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 many 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." Cun Te said with a smile.
The main problem with Tang Xiao is that the Force was overused. He got up after resting in the infirmary for a long time.
Cun Te's injuries were not serious. They were 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 robots and several Bacta tank in the medical room of the Hammerhead-class cruiser.
Bacta tank (Bacta tank) is a medical cabin widely used by Galactic Republic. By immersing people in a special liquid, it can stimulate cell division very quickly and allow wounds to heal quickly.
So the people at the Engineering Department moved these medical robots and Bacta tank into the mothership. After soaking in it for a few hours, Cun Te quickly recovered.
Tang Xiao returned to the mothership bridge and found Clement counting the spoils of the battle. Seeing him coming, Clement quickly stood at attention and saluted.
On the other side, the members of the Staff Department also stood at attention and saluted under the leadership of Qi Jian and Carl Si-Walton. They expressed their respect to Tang Xiao in this way from the bottom of their hearts.
In this battle, everyone including Tang Xiao, Cun Te, Yuri, Vitaly, Judith, Qi Jian and others used their own strength and wisdom to devote themselves to Fourth Civilization.
The most important thing is that in 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 better morale booster than this.
Clement came to Tang Xiao and reported, "Manager, the spoils have been tallied up."
"Tell me." Tang Xiao nodded.
"The biggest gain is naturally the Hammerhead-class cruiser, which is 315 meters long. It has 2 medium-sized Turbolaser guns as main guns, 4 twin-mounted Turbolaser guns as secondary guns, and 8 close-in defense guns, 6 of which were added later. Now this warship mainly The power system is seriously damaged and difficult to repair. Engineering Department's plan is to completely replace the power system with our own products, which is expected to be completed in three months, but it will require the addition of 50 additional Engineering Department workers," said Clement.
Thanks to Dujia Xingjie for the reward of 500 Qidian Coin!! Thanks to Under the White Moon and Zhufeng Laozhang for tipping 100 Qidian Coin!!
