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

When I was modifying the spaceship before, I mixed Baiyun steel into almost every part of the spaceship.

Even if the purity is not high, it can still be dented by ordinary weapons. As long as it can hit the same position dozens or hundreds of times, it can indeed cause enough damage.

But the combat distance between the spacecraft meant that this was impossible.

Once the pirates find out that their weapons are ineffective against the armor of their own spaceships, they might target the weapons of the spaceships.

But Chen Ming had already thought about this problem before.

The turret armor that he installed himself was made of pure Baiyun steel.

The pirates' bullets could only leave dents on the armor mixed with 1% white cloud steel, and there was no way they could penetrate the turret armor.

Even if their attacks could pass through the gaps in the turret armor and hit the electromagnetic javelin.

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

Even if it was hit by a few bullets, it would be impossible to cause any damage to the electromagnetic javelin.

Even if there is a one in ten million chance that it really happened, the pirates' weapons really paralyzed the electromagnetic javelin.

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

Damage or something like that is not a problem at all for Chen Ming.

At most it would just waste some of Chen Ming's mental energy and time.

Faced with the iron wall of Baiyun steel, the pirates had no chance of keeping Chen Ming in this cemetery.

If they can't keep Chen Ming, then Chen Ming will have to keep them in return.

At this time, behind the Iron Ore.

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

The pilot of the spacecraft took advantage of the fact that the recoil of the spacecraft's weapons caused by continuous shooting made it impossible to aim accurately and needed to fire intermittently, and asked the weapon operator: "Did you hit it just now?"

The middle-aged weapons operator had wrinkles all over his forehead.

The confidence he usually displayed in front of his companions seemed to suddenly disappear, and he answered uncertainly: "I don't know, I don't feel right."

"Why don't we stop chasing them and at least wait for the boss and the others to catch up. They are in the Dark Cemetery now and there is no way they can get out."

The captain's voice suddenly came from the internal communication channel, and he asked in a somewhat unhappy tone: "This is a civilian mining ship without a code name. What are you afraid of?"

"I……"

"Stop talking."

The captain interrupted the operator and ordered, "Keep tracking, keep shooting."

"If we don't catch up with the ship ahead, it will enter the asteroid zone again. Then the spacecraft will crash into it, and we may not even be able to earn 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, more wrinkles appeared on the operator's forehead.

The pilot who asked the question at the beginning suddenly said, "Wait a minute, is the ship turning around?"

During the conversation between the crew members on the No. 1 Expedition Class.

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

Just before the two expedition-class ships following behind him were about to break out of the asteroid zone.

Two electromagnetic javelins were aimed at their location.

At this time, the Iron Mine was in an empty area inside the Dark Cemetery where there were no asteroids.

Without the influence of asteroids impacting the spacecraft, Chen Ming's aiming was no longer restricted.

Now is the best time.

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

"I'm changing it!"

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

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

During this process, the maintenance worker also asked the operator: "How come it was destroyed in an instant?"

"I don't know. Their weapons seem to be high-precision electromagnetic weapons. I'm trying to maneuver and evade them. Don't count on their effectiveness!"

"Why would a civilian ship be equipped with something like this?"

Just as the maintenance worker asked the question, the weapon operator suddenly shouted again: "The weapon above is also destroyed!"

Immediately afterwards, at about the same time, the voice of another maintenance worker on standby at the stern was heard on the voice channel.

"The engine is under attack! Shut down and catch fire!"

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

"The backup engine is still..."

The maintenance worker was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stopped talking.

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

"Go check it out for yourself."

Before the weapons could be replaced, the weapons operator, who had nothing to do, immediately left the weapons operating table and rushed to the stern.

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

There was a bloody hole in his chest from which blood was oozing out, and it was obvious that he was no longer alive.

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

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

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

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

The maintenance man slowed down in replacing weapons.

Together with the others, he looked towards the stern 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.

It took no more than twelve seconds from the time the spacecraft was attacked to the end.

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

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

At this time, the voice of the captain of another expedition-class ship was heard in the captains' dedicated communication channel.

"Why are you slowing down?"

The captain of the No. 1 expedition-class ship woke up from his panic and immediately shouted in the communication channel: "Stop chasing! Our ship has been slaughtered like a pig!"

"What's the meaning?"

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

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

The captain's panic turned into complete fear.

At this time, their leader, the captain of the Hellhound class who was still in the rear, finally realized that something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What's going on over there?"

Captain No. 1 seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and shouted in the communication channel in a somewhat collapsed manner: "Boss, there is a problem with the ship we are chasing!"
