My Empire of Stars

Chapter 41: Fierce Battle in the Wreckage~

Guo Mo decided to proceed cautiously and sent Yingjier and Moxico to drive the aerospace fighter plane slowly towards the alien spacecraft.

"Be careful!" Yingjier fired a laser to eliminate the drone that was hiding in the ice debris of Jupiter's halo. Moxico was shocked and hurriedly pulled up the fighter plane.

But they didn't expect that a steady stream of drones would fly out from the ice debris below the two fighter planes.

Yingjier reacted quickly and rolled sideways to avoid a drone that was hitting it. Moxico on the other side was not so lucky. The remaining dozens of drones flew towards his fighter plane.

"Die, die, die!" Moxico pulled up and pushed the joystick hard in the air. The aerospace fighter plane suddenly lowered its head and flew down to meet the drone. Moxico kept pressing the fire switch on the joystick.

Countless small missiles on the aerospace fighter plane flew towards the drone group. Just when he was about to pass through the fireball caused by the missile explosion and leave in style, countless missiles flew out from the drone group, intercepting and destroying the missiles fired by the aerospace fighter plane in advance.

At this time, it was too late for Moxico, who had already plunged into the drone group, to pull up his fighter to avoid it.

Yingjier, who was avoiding drones in the distance, watched Moxico's fighter plane dive into the drone group, and the huge explosion blew away the surrounding drones.

"No!!!" Guo Mo, who was in the spaceship, screamed and slammed his fist on the hanging window.

Yingjier gritted his teeth, turned the thruster to the maximum, and rushed towards the American spaceship regardless of the drone group's pursuit.

"What is it going to do! It's flying towards us."

"Hurry up and shoot it down!" The two astronauts on the American spaceship screamed in fear.

The Guardian Eagle spaceship slowly turned its bow, trying to use the laser weapon on the bow to eliminate Yingjier's fighter, but it was too late.

Yingjier, who came close to the Guardian Eagle, pulled the trigger in his hand fiercely, and dozens of missiles attacked the American spaceship. Although the Guardian Eagle was equipped with a self-defense interception device, it could not withstand the attack of too many micro-missiles and too close distance!

Accompanied by the vibration caused by the violent explosion, Yingjier pulled up the nose of the aircraft and flew upward along the outer wall of the alien spacecraft.

The drones in the air continued to chase Yingjier's aerospace fighter, and did not lose their ability to move because the spacecraft controlling them was destroyed. Their mission required them to faithfully complete the last instruction they received even if they lost control: to blow up the aerospace fighter.

The drone group passed through the flames caused by the explosion of the spacecraft and followed Yingjier closely along the outer wall of the alien spacecraft. Only the first few did not react and hit the wreckage of the spacecraft, causing another round of explosions.

"Yingjier, prepare to abandon the aircraft! Those drones are aiming at your fighter!" Guo Mo shouted at the communicator in the distance. After observation, he found that even if a drone passed by their spacecraft, it did not launch an attack, which means that the enemy's drone can only target one target at a time.

After receiving the message, Yingjier changed the aerospace fighter to automatic driving mode, unbuckled his seat belt, and rushed to the hatch on the side of the ship.

"I hope your guess is right!" Yingjier jumped out of the hatch after this thought flashed through his mind.

Sure enough, the following drone mistook it for floating space junk and rolled past her. Then the space fighter in the distance was caught up by dozens of drones, and they collided and exploded with huge flames.

Guo Mo and another crew member drove the spacecraft slowly to Yingjier's side and picked him up.

Yingjier took off his helmet and sat on the seat after entering the cabin. His heart was beating fast. Obviously, he had not recovered from the battle just now. He took the towel handed over by Guo Mo and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This is a relief. Two fighters are gone at once." Guo Mo said jokingly. In fact, he just wanted to liven up the somewhat dull atmosphere, but Yingjier still punched him. However, the two soon fell silent. They were very sad for the sacrifice of Moxico. Another crew member, Ball, stepped forward and patted the shoulders of the two.

The three people who were calmer also docked the spacecraft at the damaged part of the alien spacecraft.

Guo Mo was still in command of the spacecraft, while Angel and Ball put on mechanical exoskeleton space suits and slowly floated into the interior of the alien spacecraft.

The dark passage was penetrated by two beams of strong light, and Angel and Ball slowly floated into the cabin, carefully groping forward.

Suddenly, the hatch they passed through was closed, and the lights in the corridor lit up. A figure appeared at the end of the corridor, and Angel and Ball hurriedly raised their guns.

"Cough, cough, cough." The figure coughed twice and fell to the ground.

Angel pointed his gun at the fallen figure, and Ball walked forward, pulled out the special handcuffs from his waist, and when he was about to handcuff the alien, he found that the other party had shriveled up like a mummy.

"After scanning, there is no sign of life." Ball shook his head at Angel.

"Look for any surviving aliens!" Angel put down the gun and said.

After searching for a while, the two found only some ores and energy crystals of unknown use, and no other creatures except the dead alien.

When the two returned to the spaceship, the bow of the Red Dragon II split open, and four mechanical arms stretched out from it, firmly grasping the broken edge of the alien spaceship.

Then, the Red Dragon II ejected air from its side, turning itself and the huge alien spaceship around and flying towards the Earth.

Because it needed to carry this huge object, the spaceship could no longer accelerate through the gravity of the planet, and could only use its own engine to slowly fly back.

Although the alien spaceship was heavier than expected, the time required was more than half of the original estimate, but because one crew member was sacrificed, the materials could still be used frugally to return to Earth.

What they didn't know was that the Pan-Earth Alliance launched a second spaceship six months after the Red Dragon II lost contact with the Earth. The technology was more advanced, and this spaceship was accelerating towards Jupiter. And one of the members was Li Jialu, who wanted to forget Li Mingze through this top-secret exploration mission.

A few months ago, her family, who were very worried about her condition, thought it was a good opportunity for Li Jialu to cheer up when they learned that the national space shuttle was recruiting high-tech personnel. They actively encouraged her to sign up for the project. Because her family had been a senior military officer since her grandfather's generation, she was successfully shortlisted. Later, because of her three doctoral degrees in astronomy, physics, and medicine, she became the captain of the rescue team, giving Li Jialu the opportunity to fly to Jupiter.

The Rescuer is the name of the second spacecraft launched by the Pan-Earth Alliance. This spacecraft pioneered the use of a deep sleep system to reduce the consumption of the crew, so as to achieve the purpose of maintaining a longer voyage.

Under the guidance of the command center, the spacecraft slowly accelerated to leave the earth's gravitational circle and flew towards Jupiter
