Chapter 77 Chapter 76 (Part 2)
The group disguised themselves as space station staff and, with the cooperation of the person in charge, successfully passed through the emergency escape passage and arrived at the ground control center of Balem.
The medical staff at the control center were waiting in the passage with a stretcher. When they saw the group coming out, they asked the person in charge with some confusion: "Flynn, where are the injured?"
"Here it is..." Hector moved quickly to the back and closed the hatch of the passage.
At the same time, Mellaire stepped forward and put the gun to the staff member's head.
The person in charge smiled apologetically at the staff and squatted against the wall with his head in his hands. Not long after, the four medical staff who came to rescue the injured were also handcuffed and squatted against the wall with the person in charge.
Rong Heng inserted a chip into the data port of the emergency channel and woke Noah up: "Block surveillance, cut off the control center's external communications, draw a map of the control center, and count the enemy's military strength."
"Got it." A steady mezzo-soprano voice sounded. Noah quickly hacked into the other party's internal system. Five minutes later, she sent the drawn map to Rong Heng's brain: "A total of 103 people, mostly management and research personnel, the main combat force is RX-type combat robots. Do we need to release viruses to the robots?"
"There's no need to ask a question like this whose answer is obvious, right?" Hector hissed, "Hurry up and destroy their firepower. This is our home ground."
"Okay, everyone please wait a moment." Noah responded and went back to work.
Rong Heng took advantage of this opportunity to notify all the soldiers remaining in the space station to reach the control center through the emergency passage.
Ten minutes later, Noah defeated all the fighting robots.
Fifteen minutes later, the ground control center discovered the abnormal situation in the emergency passage and sent people to check it out, and several more prisoners were found by the wall.
Twenty-five minutes later, all the personnel arrived and Rong Heng quickly formulated a battle plan. Hector, Mellor, Little Fox, and Little Dragon led the troops in several directions to gradually clear out the personnel in the control center.
Rong Heng took the little mermaid and Ruan Jiao to the main control room in the middle.
Without the defense of the combat robots, surveillance and communications were blocked, and the remaining personnel in the control center fell into chaos and panic.
High levels of mechanization have made them more efficient, but at the same time, once problems arise with the machines they rely on, they will be helpless.
The remaining managers and researchers were generally not very strong in fighting ability, but it took them only an hour to successfully take control of the control center.
All the captives were detained in several empty warehouses, and Rong Heng inserted the chip into the quantum computer interface in the main control room: "Noah, change the control of the control center and add B3024 to the control group."
A long progress bar appeared on the computer screen. Noah said, "The data is too large. It will take half an hour to modify and update it."
Half an hour is neither long nor short.
The group decided to rest where they were.
After leaving someone to guard the main control room, the others discussed and decided to go to the cafeteria to eat. After all, they had all consumed a lot of energy after the continuous fighting.
The cafeteria in the control center is fully stocked with food - filled with nutritional supplements of various brands and flavors, as well as a wide variety of drinks.
Rong Heng poured himself a cup of black coffee and sat down at the booth in the corner.
The kids each picked out the nutritional supplements of their favorite flavors and spontaneously found the corner where Rong Heng was.
The booth was for four people, and with Rong Heng and the four cubs, there was one less seat. Ruan Jiao held the nutritional supplement and turned his head to look at it for a while, then took the initiative to climb onto Rong Heng's lap and sit down, then placed the nutritional supplement in his arms neatly on the table, picked up a bottle and drank it slowly.
Rong Heng snorted and flicked his moustache.
The little dragon cub and the little fox sat opposite, drinking tons of nutritional supplements because they had consumed a lot of energy in the battle. Only the little mermaid sitting next to Rong Heng drank a nutritional supplement slowly, then reached out and poked Rong Heng, typing: [Do you want to tell daddy you're safe?]
Before leaving, Ruan Shiqing specifically instructed them to report to him that they were safe after arriving on Balem Star.
Rong Heng thought about it and felt that it was time to report the news, so he knocked on the table and asked the other kids to look at him: "When you talk to Dad later, you can't mention anything about the battle."
"Why?" The little dragon cub was the first to ask.
The little fox rolled his eyes at him: "Are you stupid? Those people said we were interstellar pirates. Of course we couldn't let Dad know that we were pirates!"
Although he didn't know much about interstellar pirates, the little fox vaguely knew that interstellar pirates were not good people.
If their father knew they had done something bad, they would definitely be scolded.
????
"Are we interstellar pirates?" The little dragon cub looked confused: "But aren't we carrying out a military mission?"
In the little dragon's mind, everything he is doing now is to carry out the military's mission. After all, Brother Snowball and Hector are both frontline soldiers!
His expression and tone were so firm that the little fox became suspicious. She began to suspect that she might have misunderstood something. She turned to Rong Heng for confirmation with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Is that so?"
Rong Heng narrowed his eyes and nodded without feeling guilty: "Interstellar pirates kill people like crazy, and what they do is all illegal and disorderly. Did we harm those staff members?"
The cubs shook their heads vigorously.
They only kept the staff under control temporarily.
"So we are not pirates." Rong Heng relaxed and leaned back in his chair. "The contradiction between the military and the big capitalists like the Naxi Group is irreconcilable. We are just fleecing the capitalists. This is the tradition of the military and is not illegal."
"I didn't let you tell Dad because I didn't want him to worry about it."
The cubs suddenly realized: "Just like the transport ship before!"
Rong Heng nodded, looking satisfied.
After the cubs transformed back into their animal forms, he called Ruan Shiqing.
"Mr. Rong, have you arrived at the planet Balem?" Ruan Shiqing's virtual image appeared above the desktop.
The little dragon jumped onto the table, its tail wagging happily, and was the first to answer: "Here we are, we are having dinner!"
The little fox held up the nutritional supplement with its two paws and showed it to him.
Ruan Shiqing was originally still worried about whether there would be any accidents in this operation, but he did not expect that things would go more smoothly than he imagined. Mr. Rong and his party were actually treated well by the people of Balham.
"Has the loan of weapons been agreed upon?" he asked.
"It's done." Rong Heng said, "Barram is adding B3024 to the control group. Once the data update is complete, you can remotely connect to Barram's weapon control system."
Ruan Shiqing heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It went better than I thought." He joked, "Maybe I will have a better impression of the military from now on. I didn't expect that the planets would be so united in the face of danger."
Rong Heng accepted his praise on behalf of the military without any guilt: "We will stay here until the crisis is resolved and then come back."
The threat from the Sijialan Star was like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. At present, they did not know when Sijialan Star would activate the Dyson Sphere, so it was the right decision for Rong Heng and his team to stay on the Balem Star. Although Balem Star agreed to borrow weapons to intercept, it was better to stay just in case.
After a brief conversation, Ruan Shiqing once again told the boys not to cause trouble for Mr. Rong before cutting off the communication.
The communication ended, and the cubs transformed back into human form.
Only Ruan Jiao, who remained in the same form throughout, showed a puzzled expression.
It seems that he is the only one who won't change.
After dinner, Rong Heng returned to the main control room. At this time, Noah had completed the data update, and the progress bar on the computer display finally reached the last 1%.
The quantum computer storing massive amounts of data restarted in seconds. On the newly activated interface, the person with the highest authority had become Rong Heng.
"Activate combat robots and turn on detection systems."
After the controller was replaced, the robot that had been infected by the virus and lost control was restarted, but it obeyed Rong Heng's orders.
At this point, the entire control center was taken over by them.
The factories and mining teams outside the control center knew nothing about what was happening in the control center.
Three days later, the detection system issued an early warning, indicating that it had captured a neutron beam traveling at superluminal speed millions of light years away.
Neutron beams carry huge amounts of heat energy. As they travel through the universe, any meteorites and comets they encounter are turned into stardust under their footsteps.
At this moment, it is rushing towards star B3024 at superluminal speed.
When Balem Star received the message, Ruan Shiqing also received the message at the same time.
He established communication with Rong Heng, and after the quantum computer precisely calculated the speed and coordinates, he also emitted a beam of neutrons.
Two neutron beams met in the dark universe and exploded instantly. The huge energy aftermath turned all objects around into stardust.
And on the distant planet Sijialan, the tracking neutron beam suddenly disappeared, and the control room of the military base was in chaos.
In the quiet control room, questions popped up one after another, and it gradually became noisy.
The mermaid leader came over to check the situation in person and said with a gloomy face: "Check it out for me, what's going on?!"
