Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 45 Paralysis
After Chen Ming discovered that the two expedition-class weapons were unable to cause effective damage to the Iron Ore.

The excitement and tension of fighting with others just now disappeared.

When I was remodeling the spacecraft, I mixed dolomite steel into almost all parts of the spacecraft.

Even if the purity is not high, it can still be dented by ordinary weapons. As long as it hits a location, dozens or hundreds of rounds can indeed cause enough damage.

But the combat distance between the spacecraft has already destined that this thing cannot happen.

When the pirates discover that their weapons are ineffective against the armor of their own spaceship, they may attack the spacecraft's weapons.

But Chen Ming had already thought about this issue before.

The turret armor that I installed myself was made of pure dolomite steel.

The pirate bullets that can only leave a dent in the armor mixed with 1% dolomite steel are impossible to penetrate the turret armor.

Even if their attack can hit the electromagnetic javelin through the gaps in the turret armor.

However, the electromagnetic javelin itself is basically made of dolomite steel, and only a small number of parts are made of ordinary materials mixed with dolomite steel.

Even if it is hit by a few shots, it is impossible to cause any damage to the electromagnetic javelin.

Even if there is a one-in-a-million chance that it really happens, the pirate's weapon really paralyzes the electromagnetic javelin.

Chen Ming can still rely on the panel to repair the Javelin.

Injury or anything like that is not a problem at all to Chen Ming.

At most, it is a waste of Chen Ming's mental energy and time.

In front of the iron wall made of white cloud steel, the pirates had no chance of leaving Chen Ming in this cemetery.

If they can't keep Chen Ming, then Chen Ming will keep them.

At this time, it is behind the Iron Ore.

In the internal communication channel of one of the expedition-class ships.

The spacecraft pilot took advantage of the fact that the spacecraft weapons were unable to accurately aim due to the recoil caused by continuous firing and needed to fire intermittently, and asked the weapons operator: "Did you just hit it?"

The middle-aged weapons operator's forehead is full of squeezed wrinkles.

The confidence he usually showed in front of his companions seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and he replied with some uncertainty: "I don't know, I don't feel right."

"How about we stop chasing them and at least wait until the boss and the others catch up. They are in the dark cemetery now and there is no way they can escape."

The captain's voice suddenly came from the internal communication channel, and he asked in a somewhat unhappy tone: "A civilian mining ship that doesn't even have a code name, what are you afraid of?"

"I……"

"do not talk."

The captain directly interrupted what the operator wanted to say and ordered: "Continue tracking and continue shooting."

"If we don't chase the ship in front of us, we will enter the asteroid area again. Then the ship will be hit by a collision, and we may not even be able to make back the repair costs!"

"We were overtaken by Ship No. 2 last time. Do you still want to embarrass yourself this time?"

The communication channel suddenly fell into silence.

"No problem? Then do as I say!"

"Yes."

As a few sporadic responses came from the communication channel, the wrinkles on the operator's forehead appeared even more.

The pilot who asked the original question suddenly said: "Wait a minute, is that ship turning around?"

During the conversation between the crew members on Expedition Level 1.

Chen Ming had completely gotten rid of unnecessary emotions and started the first step of his counterattack.

Before the two expedition-class ships followed him and were about to rush out of the asteroid area.

Two electromagnetic javelins were already aimed at their location.

At this time, the Iron Ore was in an empty area inside the dark cemetery where there were no asteroids.

Without the impact of the asteroid that hit the spacecraft, Chen Ming's aim was no longer limited.

There's no better time than now.The iconic hammering sound of the electromagnetic javelin sounded in Chen Ming's ears.

On the No. 1 expedition-class ship on the left rear of the Iron Ore, the weapons operator suddenly shouted on the communication channel: "The port and starboard weapons are paralyzed! Maintenance crew!"

"Changing!"

The maintenance man hurriedly picked up two 30mm machine guns with three others and rushed to both sides of the spacecraft.

They immediately unloaded the broken weapons from the bottom of the spacecraft.

During this process, the maintenance man also asked the operator: "Why was it destroyed in an instant?"

"I don't know. Their weapons seem to be high-precision electromagnetic weapons. I'm trying to maneuver to evade them, but don't expect any results!"

"How come a civilian ship is equipped with such a thing?"

Just as the maintainer's question came out, the weapons operator suddenly shouted again: "The weapons above have also been destroyed!"

Immediately afterwards, the voice of another maintenance man on standby at the stern came from the voice channel at about the same time.

"The engine was attacked! Shut down and caught fire!"

"The hull was damaged and the air pressure leaked, which has been sealed with foam cans."

"The spare engine is still..."

The maintenance man suddenly stopped moving in the middle of his words.

The communication channel suddenly became quiet until the captain gave the order.

"Go and have a look in person."

Before the weapons could be replaced, the weapons operator who had nothing to do immediately left the weapons console and rushed to the stern of the ship.

When he came to the engine, he found that the maintenance man who had been talking just now had fallen on his back.

There was a blood hole in his chest with blood flowing out, and he looked like he was no longer alive.

Next to his body, both the main engine and the backup engine had been destroyed and were burning with blazing flames.

The weapons operator immediately picked up the fire extinguisher nearby and sprayed fire-extinguishing foam on the engine.

At the same time, he said in the voice channel with a trembling voice: "The maintenance man was shot to death by a bullet that penetrated the hull, and both of our engines were broken."

The engine fire slightly increased the temperature of the spacecraft, but no one on board the expedition-class ship felt the slightest warmth.

The maintenance man's movement to replace weapons slowed down.

Together with the others, they looked towards the stern of the ship where the fire was flickering.

The engine is the lifeblood of the spacecraft. Engine shutdown means that all systems of the spacecraft will lose energy supply and stop functioning.

From the time the spacecraft was attacked to the end, it only took 12 seconds.

Their spaceship was already drifting in space like a piece of scrap metal.

And these 12 seconds are exactly the interval between three rounds of electromagnetic javelin shooting.

At this time, the voice of another expedition-class captain came from the captains' dedicated communication channel.

"Why are you slowing down?"

The captain of the No. 1 Expeditionary Class woke up from the panic and immediately shouted on the communication channel: "Stop chasing! Our ship has been slaughtered as a pig!"

"What do you mean?"

As soon as the captain of the No. 2 Expedition-class asked this question, the captain of the No. 1 ship heard a commotion coming from their place.

It was the white mining ship in front that changed its target after paralyzing them.

The panic in the captain's heart completely turned into fear.

At this time, their boss, the Cerberus-class captain who was still behind, finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "What's going on over there?"

Captain No. 1 seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He shouted in the communication channel with some collapse: "Boss, there is something wrong with the ship we are chasing!"
