Each light spot represents a mecha.
"Where's the mecha? Where's our mecha?"
"What on earth happened?"
The voices of the captains of the other two spaceships came from the communication channel, and there was a hint of tremor in both of their voices.
The captain stood there in silence.
Just as the two captains' voices appeared, the radar screen changed again, and the light spots representing the mechas decreased again, leaving less than ten.
"Is our mecha in stealth mode?" the captain asked dully.
Hearing this, the observer's heart suddenly relaxed: "Yes, yes, our mechas all have stealth mode. As long as it is turned on, we can temporarily avoid radar detection."
As star pirates, the stealth mode used by their mechas is different from that of ordinary regular troops. Their mechas are equipped with special modules that can be adjusted to stealth mode at any time, temporarily avoiding radar detection and facilitating sneak attacks.
The observer quickly waved to the liaison officer on the other side: "Let our mecha division reply immediately."
The captain also looked over.
The contact person did not respond and did not take any action.
"Huh?" The captain was suspicious and turned his head quickly, only to see that the liaison officer had already stood there like a piece of wood, not even raising his head, let alone responding.
"What's going on? Can't you just reply?" The captain's face darkened and he walked over angrily, almost wanting to slap the liaison officer on the head.
However, when he walked over and took a look at the contact person's screen, his steps suddenly staggered and his thighs almost went weak.
Generally speaking, a small aerospace spacecraft carries about twenty mechas, and each mecha will leave a flashing green 'LINK' interface on the liaison officer's screen. Once the energy is insufficient, the 'LINK' will turn into a flashing blood red, so that the liaison officer can alert the mecha pilot in advance to return to the spacecraft to recharge.
Due to special circumstances, each spaceship only carries eighteen mechas, and there should be eighteen green 'LINKs' on the screen.
However, the captain saw that most of the 'LINK' that should have been flashing green had turned into a dark gray color.
What does this mean? This means that those machines have completely lost contact.
The mecha lost contact during the war. What does this mean? It means that the mecha has been completely destroyed!
How could this be possible? The captain's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide enough to fit a fist.
Their side had more than fifty mechas, while the other side had only one. The two sides met in a blink of an eye, and they actually... actually lost more than 80% of their losses!
Whether the captain believed it or not, while he was lost in thought, three more green 'LINK' marks turned dark gray in an instant.
The corners of his eyes twitched twice, and he turned his head to look at the radar screen, and immediately saw that several more light spots on the radar screen had disappeared.
The other end.
Inside the improved cockpit of the Tianjia God General.
"What are the strengths of these mecha masters?" Lin Tao frowned slightly.
According to later records, the Star Pirates assembled the strongest mecha masters of the time. Although these mecha masters rarely left their names in later generations, they were incredibly powerful. Even those mecha masters who could leave their names in history might not be their opponents if they met them.
Oh! By the way, most of these so-called later materials about the Star Pirates are novels.
The romantic plots of these novels made Lin Tao have infinite yearning for the Star Pirates in his heart. He wished he could go back to the past and become a Star Pirate.
Therefore, when encountering these star pirates, Lin Tao did not dare to relax, and almost at the moment of meeting them, he used his strongest means.
The machine body split into seven, with its machine guns fully opened, and the other parts without machine guns quickly swooped over to hack and kill.
However, what made Lin Tao feel strange was that in the blink of an eye, nearly half of the opponent's mecha group were killed.
"Strange?" After turning around, Lin Tao hesitated for a moment and continued to attack.
In less than ten minutes, there were more than fifty mechas, but only less than ten were left.
Looking at the less than ten light spots displayed on the radar screen, Lin Tao frowned: "What's going on with these space pirates?"
"That's right." Suddenly, Lin Tao's heart moved.
According to the records in later novels, sometimes, due to the extremely ignominious reputation of the Star Pirates, they would usually drown their sorrows in alcohol. If they happened to encounter an impromptu battle, there would usually be many drunkard mecha pilots when they rushed into the battlefield.
"Could it be that all the star pirates I met today were drunk?" Lin Tao recalled the six parts that flew away to the cockpit parts, and reassembled them into the state of the mecha god.
If the other mecha masters knew what Lin Tao was thinking, they would definitely curse at him: "I drink the wine!"
They traveled lightly, and even the aerospace spacecraft that was usually fully loaded had two empty seats, with the aim of robbing Lin Tao and his crew's spacecraft as quickly as possible. In this situation, if they still dared to drink, they would be courting their own destruction.
Moreover, in order to snipe Lin Tao and his group, this group of space pirates deliberately changed into humanoid machines that are regulated by the Interstellar Federation.
How could they drink in this situation?
Oh fuck!
If they knew that Lin Tao had only read novels from later generations, they would definitely pull out those novelists one by one and use mecha weapons to shoot them at targets! ...
A quick glance at the radar screen revealed that the enemy had only eight mechas.
"Eight mecha masters who have been drinking? It seems a bit boring to go on like this." Lin Tao pondered in his heart, wondering whether he should kill all these mecha masters.
Suddenly, the eight mechas turned around and retreated.
"Since they're retreating, let it go." Seeing that the target was defeated, Lin Tao hesitated for a moment, then controlled the mecha to chase after him.
The mechas of this period only have an operating time of four to six hours due to the special energy blocks, so there are definitely spaceships near the mechas.
These are all plots recorded in the novel, and Lin Tao knows them all well.
"Captain, our mecha is back." The radar observer reported.
"How many mechas are there?" The captain's face looked as ugly as the bottom of a pot.
"There are…there are eight…eight more." The observer swallowed with a gulp.
More than fifty mechas were dispatched, but only eight were left in the end. This was under the premise that the opponent only had one mecha, and the fighting time between the two sides was less than twenty minutes.
If the captain of the Star Pirates knew the result, they would end up being exiled to outer space.
Thinking of this, the captain shuddered all over.
"Captain, that mecha is chasing after our mecha." Suddenly, the observer screamed again.
"What?" The captain turned his head sharply and looked at the radar screen.
On the radar, eight light spots kept retreating, and behind them there was a light spot belonging to the enemy, chasing them closely.
"Damn it! They actually brought the enemy back. Do these bastards want to die with us?" The captain was anxious and angry. He almost reached out and crushed these mecha pilots to death in the mecha cockpits one by one.
“This is a great opportunity.”
"That's right. The mecha's energy blocks have a limited time. If we delay for a while and then move forward to take advantage, we may be able to capture the opponent's mecha master alive."
Suddenly, the voices of two other captains were heard in the communication channel.
"Huh?" The captain was startled, then reacted.
Although they lost more than 40 mechas, if they could capture the other mecha master alive and "persuade" him to serve them, they would not be exiled for this achievement and could even get rewards from the leader.
A mecha master with amazing strength, who is valued not only in the Interstellar Federation, but also in the Interstellar Adventure Group.
Thinking of this, the captain's eyes lit up and he quickly ordered: "All spacecraft should retreat to the rear immediately, and tell those bastards where they are and let them pin down the enemy's aircraft."
Immediately, the three spaceships retreated quickly.
Lin Tao followed the eight mechas closely, trying to find the location of the spaceship behind them.
"Brother Zheng, Brother Lin is chasing after the other mecha."
"Can we still capture the battle?"
Zheng Cheng frowned slightly. He had no doubt about the performance of Tianjia God General and Lin Tao's strength. However, he was ordered by Lin Tao to record the entire battle. If he missed it, he would definitely be scolded by Lin Tao.
"They are moving too fast, and our video satellites can't catch up."
"Contact Brother Lin immediately and ask him to record the video himself." Zheng Cheng ordered.
"Yes, Brother Zheng."
The distance between the two parties was not far, and in a short while, Lin Tao was contacted.
"The recording satellite can't catch up?" Lin Tao was stunned.
Space is no different from the interior of a planet. A special mode is required to record video, which consumes additional body energy.
However, the improved version of Tianjia Shenjiang uses a new type of energy block they developed. Even the small engines of each component can last for more than seven hours. As for the energy block behind the main engine, a dual energy block connection is adopted, which is enough to achieve a battery life of twenty hours.
As long as the opponent's spacecraft is not too far away, it is acceptable to turn on the video recording mode.
One chasing and one escaping, five hours had passed before they knew it.
The 'LINK' indicator lights of the eight humanoid mechas on the spacecraft had already turned red and flashed from time to time, reminding the liaison officers that the mechas needed to be recharged or the energy blocks replaced.
"Captain." The liaison officer looked up and looked at the captain.
The captain glanced at the panel in front of him, then turned his head and stared at the radar screen.
At this time, the opponent's mechas did not change speed and were still chasing their eight mechas, as if they were unaware of the loss of their mecha energy.
"Why is he still chasing?" The captain was very confused. Under normal circumstances, once the energy light turns red, the mecha needs to rush back to the spaceship.
And they took this opportunity to intercept the opponent's machine.
"Maybe it's too far away from the spacecraft, so we can't get notified."
"That's possible, but it's also possible that the opponent's mecha's energy has not yet reached the point where the red light is on."
The voices of two other captains were heard in the communication channel.
