Chapter 26 Asymmetrical Fighting
The June Flower spacecraft broke away from the space dock and slowly slipped into the boundless, velvet-like dark green sky.
Outside the porthole, there are countless stars quietly emitting brilliance in the vast space, beautiful and illusory, as if they are within easy reach, and as if they can never get closer.
This is the first time that Di Changli has left the atmosphere and came to space. Although he can also enjoy the beautiful starry scenery in the virtual space, in any case, it is not comparable to the realism and visual impact brought by immersiveness.
Staring at the vast starry sky outside for a long time, Di Changli remembered his dream of becoming the captain of a space exploration ship.
Speaking of which, he is now a junior refiner, no longer troubled by poverty and weakness, and is fully capable of achieving his ideals through hard work, but he has lost his freedom. Even this opportunity to find the traces of biological parents in the past has been won by many ways.
Director Matt of the police station said nothing and happily approved his three-month vacation, and it was Robert who opposed his trip.
Robert is planning a big operation and needs the participation and assistance of Di Changli in the near future. As soon as he goes, the action is bound to be postponed. After missing the opportunity, it may also make all the previous plans go to waste. Robert is naturally quite annoyed. He spent a lot of money and material resources to train Di Changli. He wanted the latter to obey his orders as a tool, but in turn, he had to accommodate Di Changli.
So Robert lost his temper and asked Di Changli to cancel the trip and cooperate with himself.
Di Changli's temper is not very good, let alone a willing person, but he did not argue with Robert about this, but calmly made a request, hoping to convince Robert with words.
In fact, Di Changli absolutely does not lack the courage to fight against Robert. The reason why he does not turn against his face is that it was his own choice to join this gang of thieves, and the second reason is Robert's kindness to teach him. Not forgetting ungratefulness is the basic morality of a person.
In the end, Sheila persuaded Robert, and Di Changli was able to make it.
"Detective Di."
A call interrupted Di Changli's meditation.
The visitor was a white-faced man, not tall, spoke softly, and his movements tended to be feminine, but he looked like a woman. His name is Bumble, the nephew of Captain Parker and the mechanic on the June Flower.
"Detector Di, don't you feel any discomfort?" Bumble greeted politely, and his small eyes seemed to be full of enthusiastic smiles.
Usually, people who take a spaceship for the first time will feel more or less uncomfortable and need to adapt to the relaxation. In particular, the main purpose of the June Flower spacecraft is hunting and exploration. The comfort is much worse than that of the travel spacecraft that specializes in transporting passengers, and it is a little unbearable for weak people to carry it.
"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Di Changli nodded to express his gratitude and answered concisely. He doesn't like to see this Bumble very much. He always feels that his attentiveness is a little pretentious, and his eyes are too flashing, and there are some unknown things in it.
Bumble didn't care about the slightly distant politeness of Di Changli, and said with a smile, "It will take about three and a half days for the spacecraft to enter the fixed waterway to reach the first destination. Now it is automatic sailing. The crew are idle and have nothing to meet in the restaurant. The captain asked me to Come and ask Detective Di to come over and introduce everyone to each other. In galaxies, subspace jumping is an extremely dangerous thing, and it is also a meaningless waste of energy, so it is generally used to sail normally at sublight speeds.
"Okay." Di Changli nodded again. In the adventurer team, it is essential to deal with its members. Previously, the crew of the June Flower spacecraft were too busy in their posts, so that Captain Parker made a formal introduction for Di Changli.
The restaurant of the June Flower spacecraft is not big, abandons any flashy decoration, pays full attention to simplicity and practicality, and also has the function of the entertainment room. Now there are about 20 people sitting, and the whole space is about to be full. Basically, everyone has a glass of beer, and many people are swallowing clouds and fog, shouting and laughing loudly, smoky and noisy. There is nothing we can do. Except for the cargo hold, the rest of the space on all hunting spacecraft is very low and narrow. After all, everyone takes the risk of leaving their hometown to make money. If they want to enjoy comfort, they can spend a lot of money to take a luxury cruise ship for space sightseeing.
Seeing Di Changli coming in, Captain Parker greeted him, patted the table in front of him hard, told the crew to calm down, and shouted, "Come and see everyone. Detective Di Changli is our guest this time. It's his first time to go to outer space by space by space. Please pay attention to some things. Don't joke too much to avoid any accidents.
In fact, everyone has heard more or less about Di Chang's departure from the ship before. A thin man shouted, "Captain, don't worry. Although our Solomon Galaxy adventurer is a little rude, there is still a minimum etiquette for entertaining guests, as long as the detective is tougher than the delicate little girl. A little bit, I will take better care of him than the nanny and promise not to let him cry.
Everyone burst into laughter, and several people also whistled sharply. It was obvious that they were not interested in Di Changli's detective title.
Captain Parker stared at the man and roared: "Sax, shut your stinky mouth. Detective Di is a very respected guest. If you make fun of him again, I will not hesitate to open the hatch and throw you outside to become a humanoid meteorite."
Although Captain Parker's appearance is not amazing, it is quite frighten for him to start a fire. The man Sykes hooked his head and made a grimace and dared not be unclean.
Captain Seck turned his face and apologized to Di Changli: "These bastards have always been used to fooling around, but there is no malice. Please don't care. If I don't feel used to it, I will teach these bastards a good lesson and ask them to cover their buttocks and restrain themselves.
Di Changli can see that although Captain Parker scolds Sykes fiercely, in fact, he is still quite maintained in his bones. Usually, he must take good care of these partners and subordinates who are born and die together. If he is not in the light of his parents he has never met before, Captain Parker will not be evil to Sykes for an outsider. In addition, it may also be encouraged. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Captain Parker, in fact, I don't want you to think of me as a guest, which makes me very uncomfortable and will make everyone reject me. So, just think of me as a new crew member."
These words reduced everyone's rejection of him a lot, and Sykes couldn't help shouting, "Mr. Inspector, it's a pity for such a handsome guy to be a policeman. You know, an adventurer is more favored by beautiful women than a policeman. This is by no means my boast, because If you sleep with the latter, you will be worried that the public servants will ask for protection fees and service fees.
"Maybe." Di Changli smiled and said, "It seems that I have to declare in advance that I don't have such an intention before looking for beautiful women in the future."
The crew laughed again, but this time they brought some kindness. Di Changli didn't mind Sykes' jokes, indicating that he was open-minded and generous people were welcome everywhere, and everyone began to accept him.
Among the people gathered in the June Flower spaceship restaurant, Di Changli has already met two people, Helen, the captain of the hunting team, and her husband Martin, the logistics director. Most of the rest are members of the hunting team, and the rest are members of important positions on the spacecraft.
After the introduction, Helen said, "Detective Di, I heard that you used to be a professional martial arts player with good grades. You must have a certain level of control of fighter armor. Are you willing to play?"
What Helen said about nature also refers to the fighter armor test in the virtual environment. In the Galactic Federation, various machine armors are indispensable auxiliary tools and equipment, which are closely related to human daily life. With the help of virtual learning systems, the manipulation of mecha is quite common. However, when hunting space monsters, the adventurer team uses fighter armor comparable to the mecha used by the U.S. military, most of which have been specially modified, and the level is not comparable to ordinary people.
"In terms of fighter armor, I'm a novice, but I would like to ask someone for guidance." Di Changli did not refuse Helen's proposal. Although he is indeed not proficient in mecha manipulation, he has only undergone basic training and can be more proficient in control. But the adventurer has always advocated force because of the particularity of his work. If he should not fight, he will definitely be despised on the June Flower spacecraft.
It's one thing to lose your ugly, but it's another thing to be afraid of losing.
"Okay, I'll go first." Hearing Di Changli's promise, Sykes immediately jumped out again and rubbed his hands excitedly.
Basically, there can be no entertainment facilities on every hunting spacecraft, but virtual machine armor fighting equipment is necessary, although this set of equipment is of great value. Because it is not only to let the adventurers get rid of the boringness of the voyage, but also to let everyone improve their own level through equipment. Every time their strength is higher, they can get one more point of security in actual combat.
Di Changli and Sykes entered the simulation system, and eight different models of standard fighter armor appeared for them to choose from.
Di Changli soon chose a pioneering warrior. This is a very classic model, which played an important role in the early migration boom of the Galactic Federation. The operation of its battle shell is relatively simple, the armor is stable, the firepower is accurate and powerful, and the coverage is wide, and the defect is that it is not fast and flexible enough. The probability of serving as a target in space combat is far greater than the chance of hitting the opponent, and it is only suitable for fighting on the surface of the planet and the atmosphere.
Captain Parker also frowned and said unhappily, "Akuda, what are you coming to join in? Take back the money." Although it was only three or four hundred yuan, no one else on the boat would see it, but Captain Parker knew that this should be all the money Akuda had and didn't want them to be washed away.
Akuda's voice is still low, but very firm: "Captain Parker, I think Mr. Inspector also has hope of victory. Please accept it. Of course, if you have to refuse, I will take it back.
"Okay, I'll accept your bet." Captain Parker took it over helplessly. In any case, he hired Akuda as a member of this adventure group, and their relationship is a partner in adversity. He can't hurt Akuda's self-esteem. As for the hundreds of yuan lost by Akuda, just want to compensate him in the future.
A silent strong light flashed, attracting everyone's attention to the three-dimensional projection, and the mecha confrontation between Di Changli and Sykes officially began.
