Chapter 160 Interstellar Orphan (20)
drop--
"Identity authentication successful, power system activated."
A cold announcement voice sounded.
The reconnaissance ship is not large in size and the interior layout is very compact.
The cockpit only has 5 seats. In addition, the ship is equipped with a simple living area for short-term survival and an emergency escape capsule that can leave the mother ship and fly independently.
As standard, it also comes with several reconnaissance robots.
Tokiho sat in the control seat, checking the data on the control panel and screen.
Energy 99%
Engine efficiency 95%
Core balance system 97%
Cruise missile reload rate 100%
...The reconnaissance ship is intact, but whether it can travel smoothly is another matter.
At the base, all warships' takeoffs and landings must obey the commands of the control console.
"Begin route planning. Destination: Asteroid WT27."
Tokiho gave voice commands to the reconnaissance ship's AI system.
A huge map and detailed route information immediately appeared on the screen.
"Route planning is complete."
"There are 15 possible routes. The best recommendation is route 1. It will require passing through three wormhole stations, consume 15% of the energy, and take approximately 168 hours and 32 minutes."
Shi Sui: "Confirm to follow the first planned route and set off immediately."
"Requesting takeoff instructions from base control. Estimated waiting time: 4 minutes and 50 seconds. Please wait."
A long 5 minutes.
If you can fly through normal channels, that would be the best, as it would save you a lot of trouble.
But if she is restricted, even if she is surrounded by pursuers, Shisui will fight her way out and force her way to take off.
While waiting, Shisui stood up and walked straight to the central control equipment room.
It's filled with complex circuits and equipment.
Shisui searched carefully and finally found a small black box at the bottom layer of a circuit box.
"finally found you."
This thing is an encrypted signal receiving device specially used by the space peacekeeping force.
It can shield external interference and ensure that communication information will not be exposed. At the same time, the base can also use it to conduct all-round remote control of the reconnaissance ship.
The original intention was to provide security, but in extreme cases, the self-destruct program could also be activated to detonate the reconnaissance ship... Tokisho believed that Dr. Allen could definitely do this.
After successfully taking off, we must destroy this thing as soon as possible!
But is that enough?
Tokiho silently stared at the reconnaissance robots neatly arranged in the aisle...might as well take advantage of the situation.
"Takeoff request approved, runway six assigned. Liftoff will take place in 175 seconds. All personnel, please return to your seats and prepare. Countdown begins now..."
So Shisui temporarily put down the black box, sat back in the control chair, and fastened her seat belt.
…At the same time, Dr. Allen had returned to the corridor of the apron and was gazing at the night sky through the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
His hand was clutching the mobile remote control device tightly in his pocket.
As long as he gives an order, the reconnaissance ship that Tokiho is on will initiate a forced self-destruction program.
He hadn't wanted to go this far. Tokiho's brain was crucial to his daughter's resurrection. But she knew too much.
The best solution, of course, is to make her disappear from this world forever.
This way, he would not reveal his secrets, and even if the army blamed him for not delivering WT27-111-F safely to headquarters, he would have made up for his mistake.
"I know you're smart, and you should be looking for the black box right now. But this is a dead end with no solution."
Dr. Allen has made every possible effort.
"Not to mention that the black box's casing is made of a high-hardness alloy that even laser guns can't penetrate. Even if you really had the ability to destroy it... if the signal is cut off now, you won't be able to receive the command from the control console to take off. And once you're airborne, you'll have nowhere to escape. Besides, I've laid more than one minefield... You can't avoid it!"
He frowned and stared at the reconnaissance ship driven by Shi Sui, which taxied onto runway 6 and lined up for takeoff.
"Although I don't really believe in miracles...but just in case, just in case you seize that 1% chance and escape this disaster...I just hope that you won't stand on the opposite side of me...!"
Even though Dr. Allen didn't want to admit it, he was a bit confused. Faced with this mysterious girl who was beyond his comprehension, his skills weren't enough.
A strong airflow was pushed out from the tail of the reconnaissance ship.
It took only 2 seconds for the reconnaissance ship to accelerate from 0 to 3000m/s and then it took off into the air. It degenerated into a dot at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye and merged into the night sky.
“Right now!”
Dr. Allen sent the instructions.
Immediately, a large ball of red fire flashed in the air, like an exploding firework.
No matter how good the sound insulation of the glass is, it cannot cover up the rumbling sound of the explosion.
The staff on the tarmac stopped and looked up, and the emergency response team immediately dispatched personnel...
…
"I'm sorry, I predicted your prediction."
Tokiho sat firmly in the control seat, feeling the strong push from her back, turned on stealth mode, and sped towards the space station.
In the gap of just 1 second when the reconnaissance ship just left the control range and before Dr. Allen's order arrived, Shisui smashed the black box into pieces in time.
The reconnaissance ship's self-destruct program was stillborn.
The fire observed by Dr. Allen and the base staff was actually caused by the explosion of the reconnaissance robots after Tokiho stuffed all the reconnaissance robots into the emergency escape pod in advance and then pulled the escape pod out of the mother body.
This is the backup plan that Dr. Allen has laid.
His orders were directed not only to the reconnaissance ship itself, but also to a few inconspicuous robots that had independent information receiving chips.
Dr. Allen is indeed a shrewd and calculating person. If it were an ordinary person, there would be no way to escape from the trap he has set...
Shisui officially embarked on her journey.
The smartest thing she did was never show any concern for the 875 experimental subjects in front of Dr. Allen.
If you hide your cards well, you won't be caught.
However, she still had a question in her mind.
Time was limited, and she didn't have time to figure out which secret organization sent Dr. Allen to the space peacekeeping force as an undercover agent.
What are they planning...
The overt and covert games between various interstellar forces are much more complicated than simple scientific research.
Tokiho has a premonition that she, Dr. Allen, and the Space Peacekeeping Force will fight again in the future.
