Him and their stars

Obviously, the "Firebeard" of the Flame Pirates was indeed a powerful man who could make decisions immediately. He should be able to see that there were still more than 10,000 Tiyangkai gathered in this galaxy, which was really beyond his ability to hunt.

In that case, it would be better to go after those scattered small groups.

Although this would force him to cooperate with other pirate groups, share the spoils and even cause him to have many grievances with his peers, it was better than getting nothing. Moreover, he had the background of the big shot Black Glove after all, and he had to get the precious materials separated from Ti Yangkai and even the Dome Whale through his own hands.

Being able to fight is important, but having a background and connections is more important than being able to fight. I have both, and sooner or later I will be able to make it. Who says I can't become a noble lord like Gong Xiao?

This is the happy vision of the future held by Edward "Firebeard", the great pirate of the Abyss Nebula.

However, when he arrived at the 777 galaxy with three pirate ships, he found that there were more than 20 pirate ships of various sizes gathered here, coming from the eight chieftains.

In this vast Abyss Nebula, smuggling ships, pirate ships, piggy boats and whaling ships can switch roles at any time.

After all, they were all colleagues who made a living in the same free city. Although they wanted to kill each other, they were still willing to work together when "hunting".

Edward "Firebeard" owned the largest ship on the scene and was also the most powerful and prestigious one, so he was naturally chosen as the leader.

They certainly would not have imagined that behind this grand hunting trip, there was actually a powerful, mysterious yet silent uninvited guest.

The second in command under Edward "Firebeard", "Bird of Fortune" Wei Ai did have a bad premonition, but this notorious master of prophecy had always been a mysterious guy, and he had too many bad premonitions, so no one paid much attention to him.

"If you don't care, then don't care. The agitation of the spirit particles will cause disasters, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will really happen to me. Let nature take its course. This is the way of heaven."

Edward "Firebeard" said he didn't understand, but he really didn't want to ask. He knew that even if he asked, he wouldn't get any clear response. After all, his second-in-command was more often in a state of trance than when he was awake, so his words still needed to be discussed.

Of course, as a battle-hardened pirate, he was still cautious. Even when he was hunting, he kept his sublight speed engine in combat readiness, ready to flee at any time.

This may have saved his life.

Half an hour later, when the pirate ships deployed their formation and successfully launched a siege on the family of two small dome whales, they prepared the "whaling harpoon", which was a special weapon with sub-light speed missiles combined with gravity traction. It could only be used at a relatively close distance and was aimed at the two small dome whales.

They are even smaller than Edelweiss, so it is difficult for them to reach the battleship armor. However, this is not a very important problem.

Before they could even wait, the sharp cold light that tore through the sky fell on the fleet.

It was like a divine lightning snake that penetrated the boundary between matter and void, jumping from one ship to another. Energy that could not be recognized by the naked eye would penetrate the shield and armor... In other words, it flashed through the gaps in the energy nodes of the shield amplitude in the form of quantum, and penetrated into the hull through the seams of the armor's molecular structure, thus reconstructing the energy of the material world and turning into a majestic energy arc.

The surface of the ship that was hit did not melt, but a tragic chain reaction broke out inside. The cabins, passages and pipelines exploded one after another like firecrackers in the flow of plasma.

Of course, some explosions only caused minor damage, some directly destroyed major components and caused structural damage, and some directly caused internal disintegration.

However, this was not important to Edward "Firebeard". He just felt a huge sense of crisis in just one third of a second. The boiling adrenaline and burning psychic energy made him make the most appropriate response at the critical moment, just like he was dueling with another psychic master.

He started his own ship in time and put it into acceleration mode directly.

It was indeed a famous ranger class, and a native warship that had once entered the empire. Under the control of the great pirate, it was like dancing in the line of fire, and was not hit by the lightning turbulence that tore through the sky.

The pirates on the ship cried out in surprise. They clearly saw that almost all of the twenty or so friendly ships around them were on fire, and one third of them were destroyed and disintegrated in the sudden and violent explosion.

"Run! Run! Towards the direction of the Great Freedom City!" Firebeard's whole body was about to be ignited by the steaming spiritual energy. His pirate ship also accelerated to the maximum value. He still didn't understand where the attack came from, who or what it came from, but he didn't care. He just wanted to be a passionate escape machine.

As for those colleagues who were injured but not sunk... After all, we cannot expect the pirates to have any professional spirit of mutual assistance and reciprocity. Not forgetting to notify others when escaping is already very chivalrous.

"Even if we run to the Great Freedom City, who can save us?" The Destiny Bird said hesitantly.

"So the entire Great Freedom City can serve as a shield for us. Do you know why I have never had a wound on my back? It's because I can always find a scapegoat when I run away!" Chief Edward looked proud of it instead of ashamed. Of course, as a pirate, this kind of operation is really something to be proud of.

As for Yu Lian and his friends who were still on the Wide Silence, they finally got to hear the first cry of the arc cannon.

He should also be the first person to capture the trajectory of the bombardment. As a "Great Saint" who is qualified to challenge the demigod realm, his experience may be more intuitive than that of his friends.

The moment the reactor began to roar, he saw with his own eyes that electric arcs were rippling in the void. Of course, it could not be something as superficial as lightning, but a flow of annihilation particles rotating in the opposite direction. When they broke free from the constraints of the magnetic hoop, they twisted in the air into a reverse arc flow, but passed through the void in a way that was of a spatial concept nature.

The arc of electricity that cut through the starry sky was actually the trajectory formed when a special quantum force switched unstably between matter and quantum.

“However, the damage assessment seems to be a bit metaphysical.” Yu Lian calculated.

After this round of silent bombardment, twenty of the twenty-three pirate ships were hit. Six of them exploded on the spot, seven were seriously injured and the fire was probably difficult to recover; while the rest were only slightly injured and could even continue to operate.

"The direct damage is caused by energy particles transferring from the void into the material universe, and the effect is naturally uncontrollable. In this field, our research is still a layman." Feifei said: "However, considering the range, the worst that can happen is that we can just fire a few more times."

Yu Lian nodded slightly: "If Professor Zinov were here, he would definitely make a lot of analysis."

Feifei smiled and said, "If Yani were here, I could even publish a paper."

Why do we specifically mention the white-haired fox at this time?

This statement was of course very disrespectful to Dr. Eddington, but fortunately the two of them used telepathy.

As for the scientific officer Dr. Eddington, he has finally found the main body of the arc machine in the lower cabin of the (Wide Area) Silence, and is currently making the most detailed records with his subordinates.

"I see, I see. The concept of the biphasic oscillation core is correct. The structure of the twin superconductor is also correct. Only in this way can particles jump between the real universe and the quantum foam at the same time. However, the craftsmanship of our gravity sensor is not up to standard! How can we stimulate the cross-border siphon effect? ​​The theory is correct, but how to solve the problem of materials and technology? Do we have to use zero elements to make mystic units? But, the commander also said that weapons using mystic units are not science, but alchemy!"

Dr. Eddington finally resisted the urge to dismantle the main body of the gun and the gravity sensors and send them to the polymer laboratory. Instead, he made a simple but logically coherent analysis report and concluded that he hoped the master alchemist could provide research assistance.

To be honest, Yu Lian was very pleased to have this report.

As for alchemy masters, there is really no shortage of them. Senior Brother Grant, Senior Brother Jin, and Senior Sister Han are all counted, and the senior brother who is proficient in everything can also take charge. However, they have to study the royal court and stabilize the interface recently, so the work is still very hard.

Let's go back to the Silence. Yu Lian and Feifei were generally satisfied with the effect of this new weapon, while Captain Nemo and the others were extremely satisfied. When they saw the pirate ships start to explode one after another, the bridge even cheered loudly.

"Hooray! This is the weapon of my dreams!"

"Yeah, yeah! It should have come out a long time ago. What is the research department doing?"

"It's really lame to do research on your own! You have to rely on the archaeological legacy left by Enlightened Father!"

"Yes, I will definitely let my son study archaeology in the future! If he dares to study physics or mathematics, I will break his legs!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Well, this idea is a bit off the mark, but it is indeed a social trend with a lot of momentum, and it is not just a problem in the community, but in the entire universe. But in fact, the archaeological excavation of the remains of the Enlightened Ones has indeed brought about technological progress and the development of productivity, so how can it be easily eliminated?

Subsequently, the latest shelling report was also delivered.

"The terminal shows that it can lock onto more than fifty targets at once. The effect of the bombardment just now can prove this!"

"The diffusion range includes three standard cosmic points... It is equivalent to the current highest-powered positron cannon fortress cannon!"

"The effective range is 2.5 here. Could it be 2.5 AU?"

"This astronomical unit was set by the Empire. Why should the Enlightened Ones accept it? Maybe it's 2.5 light years."

"I still have two and a half galaxies."

In short, although the damage of the arc cannon is a bit mysterious, even the lowest level is within the acceptable range, which has satisfied all the professional soldiers' illusions about this new weapon that only stays in the laboratory and on the blueprints, and even far exceeds it. Captain Nemo and his friends naturally cheered.

However, as an excellent professional soldier, he certainly could not be satisfied with just one book. Captain Nemo soon came to report that he needed a bigger target to continue testing the power of the arc main gun.

After all, the largest of those pirate ships is only at the level of a light cruiser, and they really cannot show their power.

However, this is also the largest warship that can be seen in the Abyss Nebula. As we all know, this huge nebula cannot accommodate large ships, let alone large fleets, so it has become a paradise for pirates and smugglers.

...What, you mean the Great Plunderer Crusade?

That was the outer edge of the Abyss Nebula, relying on the star map obtained from the ruins of the Enlightened One. And according to current calculations, the routes taken by the large motherships, flamethrowers and immigrant ships of the plunderers were also dotted lines, belonging to the type that opened, closed and collapsed according to the time cycle.

...What, you mean Wide Area Silence?

When this thing was still a ghost ship, it had already been wandering around the Abyss Nebula, but it had never been heard of being trapped in any difficult waterway.

As for the other dome whales and the Tiyangkai group, they are real cosmic Leviathans, and like King Frieza, they can travel across the universe in their physical bodies. A mere carbon-based monkey should be aware of his own level.

"The bigger target you mentioned might be the Great Freedom City." Yu Lian said with a smile.

The captain cupped his hands sheepishly: "Well, after all, we are here anyway."

In fact, there were quite a few people who were interested in this legendary pirate paradise. After all, if they didn't take the opportunity to visit this legendary place, their life would be incomplete. As for Yu Gong, if he wanted to find clues about the Bazan Fleet, the Flame Pirates and the Great Freedom City could not be missed.

Of course Yu Lian did not object.

Under the command of Captain Nemo, the Wide Silence followed the fleeing "Aachen 12" and passed through four or five galaxies before arriving at a relatively stable galaxy.

In the vast Abyss Nebula, these young and mature stars that are still in a stable state are almost as rare as naturally habitable planets.

In this galaxy, in addition to a reddish-brown sun, there are two gas planets and two desolate and dead gray terrestrial planets, which can be considered prosperous.

When we first entered the galaxy, the Silence's gravity detector had completely confirmed the existence of the Great Freedom City. It should be a celestial body in the orbit of the yellow gas giant planet hanging in the middle ring. From the rough projection of the star map, we might have thought it was one of its satellites.

It was indeed the "Dimension Monitoring Array" on the Silence. Even though it was still separated by multiple astronomical units, the bridge had already received an image of its general outline, showing an irregular ellipse with many bumps and horns. If it wasn't a comet or meteor, it could only be a man-made creation.

Soon, the shipboard terminal automatically entered the analysis state.

However, before the holographic image of this legendary pirate paradise was resolved, the Silence received a series of wide-area gravitational wave communications.

In other words, it was not a communication, but a broadcast to all the surrounding star regions:

"We are very weak, please don't hurt us. We are all the dregs of society who come here to make a living, we are humble cosmic moles! No matter which group of masters you are, please have mercy!"
