Chapter 442 Analyzing Intelligence
"call!"

"Call Aland Mining Company!"

In the cockpit of the pirate spaceship, Acting Captain Liu stared at the communication equipment with a frown. The situation inside the ship was a bit bad now, with a serious lack of energy. The supplies could still be maintained for a while, but the manpower was really not enough. This huge spaceship made it difficult for him to do so. The more than thirty crew members of the Voyage were extremely busy.

Five days have passed since he encountered the pirates. He now has a general understanding of the pirate spaceship called "Black Hand". Originally, the spacecraft of this era were similar. Even the ships between the Federation and Gusta. There was not much difference between the ships, except that the modification style of the Black Hand was too "unconventional". It was basically spliced ​​together from robbed ships. It really took him a lot of brainpower to figure out the structure of the entire ship.

However, Liu seemed to have found the reason why these pirates were eager to attack the Yuanhang in the middle-danger zone. The exhaustion of energy was the driving force for them to take risks.

The Black Hand is equipped with powerful weapons smuggled by Gusta. In their view, the prospecting ship of the consortium is simply a life-saving straw.

"Aland has received it, Aland has received it!"

"Ask the crew to provide the ship number!"

The communication equipment finally sent a reply. Although the signal was extremely weak, it also made Liu ecstatic. He provided the number of the Yuanhang, and after connecting with the company's secret key, he immediately reported his situation.

"Did the Voyage Prospector encounter an interstellar pirate?"

"Wait a minute, I don't have enough authority"

The other side of the voice was quiet for a long time. When encountering such a thing, the ordinary operator really couldn't decide the next action. Liu began to wait patiently for the reply from the company.

At the same time, Mu Lan, Zhao Ziyu and Lin Yiyi were also sitting in the busy cockpit. They were unable to help with their temporary staff, and even if they wanted to help, Mu Lan couldn't control the spacecraft.

But being unable to help does not mean that everyone is idle. Mu Lan is discussing matters related to this dungeon with her partners in the soul link, and the atmosphere is full of enthusiasm.

Everyone has understood the basic world view of this copy. Next, we should consider the main mission. Mu Lan analyzed the only information at hand and said slowly: "Our main mission must be related to the next actions of the Aland Group. But we are not the top executives of the company, and we don’t know anything about the follow-up goals.”

Originally, the exploration ship Yuanhang needed to go to the A15-3 space station to stand by, but Mu Lan knew that this was definitely not the final destination. She learned from Norma that a large number of Aland’s spaceships were gathering towards the center of the Andromeda galaxy. But the range of the center of the galaxy is too broad.

"Based on the known intelligence, most of the spaceships summoned by the Arland Group are mining ships." Zhao Ziyu thought: "Are we summoned to mine somewhere?"

"The secrecy of this operation is extremely high." Mu Lan shook her head, "Even the original captain didn't know about it. I think the purpose of the operation has a deeper reason."

"Yuanhang is not like an ordinary mining ship." In the soul link, Ah Feng, who had been silent all the time, spoke. He is not in the cockpit at this time, but Mu Lan's soul link is now shared by everyone.

"That's right." Mu Lan already had some ideas in her mind. From the database, she learned that the mining ships of this era were not only used to explore for minerals. They had strong armor and could only be equipped with military warships. Jump engines, as well as conventional ship-borne weapons and security personnel. You must know that most industrial ships do not have this configuration, and they require a large fleet to escort them when traveling.

Therefore, the Voyage No. [-] prospecting ship is not just a spaceship for prospecting, it has the ability to sail alone and meets all the standards of interstellar exploration. It is more accurate to describe it as a scientific research or exploration ship.

"Combined with the special identity provided by the Lord God, the purpose of the Aland Group seems to be very clear. They may want to explore an area similar to the ruins." Mu Lan concluded.

"I think so too." Lin Yiyi said casually: "To open a mine, you can't afford to dispatch so many spaceships. What a large-scale mineral deposit it would be. Is it possible that the entire planet is covered in gold?"

"Gold is worthless in this era." Zhao Ziyu said quietly, "I can tell you haven't studied the information compiled by Mu Lan carefully."

"I'm a metaphor! A metaphor!" Lin Yiyi glared at him.

Mu Lan ignored the interruption of the two, and continued to analyze: "The high-level executives of our camp planned this operation. With such a convenient source of information, we have to make good use of it."

"How to use it?" Zhao Ziyu asked: "Fight back to the Milky Way, kidnap the company's top executives, and force them to learn their action plan?"

Zhao Ziyu asked half-jokingly, but Mu Lan actually thought for a moment sincerely, then shook her head and said, "It's too far. We span two large galaxies. This plan won't work."

Although the idea of ​​pressing the higher-ups didn't work, Mu Lan immediately looked at the acting captain who was waiting hard, maybe she could find a breakthrough from this communication device.

Liu was communicating with his company superiors at this time. The mining company is a subsidiary of the Aland Group. This giant group has huge jurisdiction over the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. Although Liu is now the acting captain, compared to The entire company is just an insignificant player. There are hundreds of captains like him in the Andromeda Galaxy.

After waiting for a long time, the executives of the company finally gave him a reply. According to the current situation of the crew of Yuanhang, he provided a more feasible plan: in the A12 star system not far away, there is a temporary space station that has not yet been completed. Provide resource supplies for the crew of the Voyage, where the crew can wait for further instructions from the company.

"A12 actually has a space station?" Sanders happened to hear the voice coming from the channel while carrying the equipment, and asked: "Why wasn't it marked in the star map before?"

"This is normal. It will be marked on the star map only after it is completed." Liu said: "The superior said that the star port facilities here are basically completed, and it can just park ships."

"Why didn't you tell us the final destination?" Sanders complained in his tone, "Obviously we can get there faster with the jump engine, but now it's like playing checkers, jumping around different space stations in the universe .”

He complained about the nonsense of the group's senior management. If it weren't for this strange mission, they would not have suddenly encountered interstellar pirates and almost lost their lives here.

Liu sighed, "The higher-ups did not announce the destination because of their considerations. After all, this is an operation with the highest level of secrecy since I joined the job. I guess it should be to prevent the information from being leaked in advance."

Mu Lan has been listening to their conversation. She is actually a little confused about the "torsions" of the Arland Group, which involves a paradox of "sacrificing the near for the far."

If the Yuanhang has sufficient energy, it can reach the center of the galaxy directly by turning on the jump engine three or four times. However, from Liu's previous statement, Mu Lan learned that their route is particularly complicated and they have stopped at the space station several times to resupply the jump engine. Started more than ten times.

If the final destination is provided early, one jump can save more energy than continuous jumps like the current one. In this way, the current predicament of the crew of the Voyage will not exist.

But such a giant company obviously wouldn't really "fiddle around". Mu Lan had two guesses in her mind.

The Aland Group may be confusing its competitors and planning such a strange route so that the rival companies cannot know the real destination, which has a "misleading" effect.

Another conjecture is simpler, Mu Lan pondered, maybe the Aland Group itself does not know where the "remains" are, and the final destination has not been determined, so there is no accurate mission order, causing a large number of prospecting ships to roam. Aimlessly approaching the center of the galaxy.

But in this case, it is a bit contrary to the style of such a giant company. In Mu Lan's understanding, a large force spanning many star fields must at least make a decision before taking action. Maybe there is something unknown and deeper in it. reason.

"Anyway, we are saved now! Norma's idea is very simple, all the crew here will be saved if there are supplies, she smiled and looked at Liu, "We will definitely not be able to guess the decision of the group, let's take a step by step . "

Mu Lan frowned tightly, she didn't want to take one step at a time, and continued to think about how to get more useful information from the mouths of the high-level people.
