Chapter 222 From the fifth-level civilization
Gongsun Murong and Narasha were really stunned. It was normal for the spacecraft to receive a signal, but it was abnormal when the space jumped.
Today's signal resonance uses another method, which can cross the distance of space, not the speed of light. Otherwise, if a ship flies to a place thousands of light years away, it is better to fly back by itself if he wants to send a signal back.
Unless there is no way, we will send signals that spread at the speed of light like Murong Yang and his wife.
However, this method cannot allow other spacecraft or warships to receive space leaps, and they do not follow the same path.
Now that the signal has been received, Gongsun Murong and Narasha have a look at each other, then look at the screen, and find that they are not recognized texts, so they immediately ask the system to help translate them.
The translated text was displayed, and the two felt relieved.
It was indeed not their method, but a translation of the text called Huxunduli Empire, which said that an interstellar tanker called Hogusa urgently needed support. They encountered the interstellar pirates over there and finally gave the coordinates of the interstellar tanker.
As soon as they saw the coordinates, the two of them felt relieved. Fortunately, they were not nearby. The most interesting thing was that the coordinates marked were very close to where they were going.
"No need to reply to the signal." Gongsun Murong said.
Narasha agreed: "Yes, yes, in short, what we have to go there is, I just don't know if the interstellar tanker will leave when we arrive."
The two of them expressed their serious expressions, but they amused the two prisoners in their practice. They said that they didn’t need to reply to the signal, and they couldn’t even go back even if they wanted to. They didn’t have that skill.
The text has already told everyone that the Hu Xunduli Empire is a level five civilization. Some of the five civilizations’ technologies cannot be mastered or obtained by level four civilizations. Although the level of the civilization assessment is calculated based on interstellar navigation capabilities, as long as it has that kind of navigation capability, other technologies must be equally higher than those of low-level civilizations, and navigation capabilities are part of the overall strength.
As the spherical spacecraft continued to fly toward its destination, the Hogusa, who sent the signal on the other side, had stopped. It was not that the people on the tanker who knew that the pirates chasing them had been swallowed up by the energy tide, but that the tanker's power system was broken and the spares were broken.
The shell of the Hogusa tanker looks worn, but anyone familiar with the spacecraft knows that the spacecraft has not been devastatingly hit, and it doesn't matter where it is damaged, and it's new if it is repaired.
However, the external damage of the Hogusa was small, but the internal damage was great. In order to avoid the pursuit of interstellar pirates, they kept the spacecraft running under overload.
It is just an oil tanker, not a main warship. The weapons on the tanker are fine to fight against the main warship of robots. If you fight pirates, the attack power is obviously too low, and it can be damaged, but it cannot be destroyed. At the same time, the flight speed is even less than that of a combat ship.
Therefore, when being chased, the tanker must overload the power system. After several days of continuous escape, the tanker finally couldn't bear it anymore. After making the last space jump, he hid behind a large stone. The maintenance personnel were asked to speed up.
People on the tanker understand that this is called self-deception. Can pirates hide behind the stones and cannot see them? Don’t joke, pirates don’t need to watch with their eyes. Just scan and you will know the location of the tanker in an instant.
"Mom, I don't want to be caught by pirates. I want to go home. Go back to my own house to play with small animals." The adults on the tanker were anxious, and the children were even crying and making noise, which made people feel irritated when they heard it. However, the people on the tanker were not low in status, and they were all holding airs and maintaining their own image.
Listening to the crying of children, the service staff on the tanker could only try to comfort them, such as bringing them toys or snacks.
Lunpoge, the captain of the Hogusa oil tanker, was most anxious. He knew who was on his tanker, and he was all upper class figures of the Hu Xunduli Empire. Among the tens of thousands of people, any one of them was casually taken out, and they had at least one small galaxy.
This time, the tour and gathering were chosen to be held on the Hogusa because the Hogusa had just been expanded and renovated, and new defense measures and power systems were adopted.
But this is true for the people who were relieved to be more vigilant and had to go to the Lauder Lauren star field, because there is a planet where you can go for wild adventures and hunting, and it is the most comprehensive adventure place.
The Lauder Lauren star field has another name, namely the Pirate Star Field. Many pirates will hide in the Lauder Lauren star field because the environment of this star field is complex, with rock flows, meteorite belts, unknown one-way space nodes, black hole groups, and nebula clusters.
It is impossible to encircle and suppress pirates in the Lauder Lauren Star Domain. There are fewer troops sent, not enough to fight the interstellar pirates. There are more sent, so the interstellar pirates hide directly.
Over the years, Lauder Lauren's star field has become a paradise for pirates.
The reason why the upper class dares to go there is because they usually do not attack interstellar tankers, but provide services to interstellar tankers for foreign travel and charge high fees to buy things in normal society with other identities.
This is usually the case, but there are also surprises. For example, if a very powerful scientific researcher goes on a trip, you don’t have to think that he will be caught by the interstellar pirates and then conduct research for them.
Interstellar pirates also need to build spacecraft and warships, and also need to plant and breed places.
There are also cases where someone specializes in spending money to ask the pirates to help destroy someone. Even if the person does not enter the pirate star field, the pirates will be assassinated, let alone if they take the initiative to deliver it to their door.
The third situation where you will be attacked is that there are special intelligence personnel on the tanker, who are responsible for collecting pirate information and then sending troops to attack. Even if you cannot kill all the pirates, killing one is a good harvest. Even if it causes losses to these pirates, you can also get rewards.
Captain Lunpo Ge has never known the reason for his oil tanker being attacked. When he was attacked, he successfully took the oil tanker away. He ran to this point. At this moment, he looked at every passenger on the oil tanker and thought that the other party was a spy, and he followed the oil tanker to the pirate's nest to collect intelligence.
As for whether there would be someone else who wanted to kill someone on the tanker, he couldn't guess it.
He felt that every passenger on the tanker seemed to be killed by someone who had spent a lot of money to hire pirates.
For example, political opponents have taken action, competition between the same industry, such as a family that was bullied before has saved enough money for revenge, or even killing relatives who have status and compete with each other.
"Transfer my order and you must repair the power system as soon as possible. I will reward the maintenance staff with a salary of 1,000 times the usual." Brother Lunpo ordered to his deputy.
He actually knew that even if he didn't mention money, the maintenance staff would work hard. This involved life and death, but he still wanted to give the maintenance staff some supplies to encourage them.
Not only maintenance personnel, but also all the service personnel on the tanker. The purpose is naturally to get out of danger and ask for more money after the people in the upper class. This time the tanker was dispatched, the money earned could not be paid 1,000 times the salary of the personnel on the ship. He proposed that he believed that the powerful people would also raise the price, even if he cares about them, they would give it to them.
In this way, he earned more. Even if the price given by those people was one hundred times the original, after deducting the salary of the crew, he could still get dozens of times the original income.
The first mate understood the captain's meaning and shouted directly with the horn on the tanker and informed the crew of the news, which was actually for the passengers to listen to.
The gentlemen and socialites on the tanker were looking forward to the maintenance staff repairing the ship quickly, and they secretly felt sorry for them that they had money, but they didn't spend it like this.
Although they are upper-class people in society, they don’t spend much money on normal consumption. The more people like them, the lower the prices given by various high-end restaurants and hotels.
For example, a dish in a restaurant costs 300 credit points, which is the price they eat, which is in high-end restaurants. But in many cases, the same dish in a mid-end restaurant, and the chefs who make it are not as good as those in high-end restaurants, the asking price reaches 1,000 credit points.
This is because many people with low identities think this dish is high-end, so they spend money to save face, but for them, they are not. The rareness and additional cost of this dish they consider will not work if it is high.
This is their life, and having money is also an investment, so it seems that they need to speak out now.
So they all offered to reward the tanker, and they were willing to give a credit point, which was exactly one hundred times the number of tickets. They would not give a thousand times. They were smart and knew how much money the captain would make and how much the crew could get.
At the same time, they don’t say that they are raising the fare, so that when riding on the tanker in the future, others will ask for more money. The reward is different, and it is a kind of recognition and alms of superior identities to inferior identities.
Brother Lunpo asked someone to record it and waited to ask them for it after he went back. Then he dreamed of money and prayed that the pirates would not come before the tanker had repaired the power system, and it would be better that they would never come.
He knew his current location, but he didn't expect to run to the territory of the fourth-level civilization, Galaxy Civilization. He saw a space node before and then got in. As a result, he ran to such a distance. After sending distress signals constantly, he hoped that the Galaxy Civilization could have a huge fleet to support it.
In his heart, the fourth-level civilization is backward and cannot beat the fifth-level civilization, so he can only accumulate quantity. He does not expect the Galaxy Civilization to help him defeat pirates. As long as it can delay the maintenance of the tanker's and the world system, he will be content. As for the price the Galaxy Civilization pays for this... Isn't it proud to sacrifice for the upper class of the fifth-level civilization?

While the tanker is repairing, the two pirate warships are also working hard to repair. They are still on the job.
