Chapter 87: The distress signal in the snow field.

　　A continuous electrical noise sounded, like some kind of insect flapping its wings at high speed, or the auditory hallucinations caused by dizziness. The reverberation of the lonely and ethereal piano sound, combined with this illusory humming, makes people feel a sense of gap and contradiction in reality, but the soul is floating in the deep starry sky.

　　Lin Fan clicked the "Transition" button, and the star map of the current star area immediately appeared on the screen. On the vortex-like galaxy, there were more than 20 places that could be explored.

　　It can be seen that the Kestrel is located at the bottom left of the map. There is also an animation of the spacecraft flying around slowly on the current planet, allowing players to easily locate the location.

　　The exit beacon is located on the far right of the star map and has been marked.

　　At the current position of the spacecraft, there are several green dotted lines connected to the planets that can be reached in the next step. Move the mouse over these planets, and yellow dotted lines can be extended to indicate which planets it is connected to.

　　Lin Fan pondered for a moment: "Just go to the planet in the middle, it's easy to reach, and you can go wherever you want."

　　Click on the transition, and the spacecraft will switch from a top-down perspective, which is easy to view the systems in the cabin, to a reduced version of the wing perspective.

　　In an electronic sound like a toilet pumping, I saw the engine of the Kestrel spewing blue dazzling flames, swaying and shuttling in a blue-purple space, and countless stars were stretched into a white line like a time-lapse camera. , was quickly thrown behind the spacecraft.

　　When the transition ended, the surrounding environment of the Kestrel also changed significantly. The starry sky seemed to be dyed red by overturned red ink. The rust red mixed with peach red and yellowish brown, the fine sand-like stars float and sink in this red sea, and there are bright big stars reflecting the psychedelic cross light.

　　Comic cutscenes.

　　Lin Fan opened his mouth wide in surprise: "My God, I thought there was a cartoon cut scene at the beginning, so every event has it? This is too handsome!"

　　Through the porthole of the cab, you can see a spaceship shaped like a crab in the nebula not far away.

　　A text box appeared below: "You have found a nearby rebel ship, which appears to be a transport ship rather than a combat ship. It seems that it does not want to fight you and is carefully leaving the area."

　　Two options then appear:

　　 1. Ask them to hand over the goods by force.

　　 2. Avoid that ship.

　　"It's still worth thinking about?" Lin Fan decisively chose the first option, "There must be a lot of resources on the transport ship!"

　　The comics were also based on Lin Fan's selection, and follow-up changes were derived from the previous ones.

　　I saw the head of the Kestrel, and suddenly two beams of green lasers shot out, hitting the translucent blue energy shield of the transport ship, creating a ripple!

　　The battle has begun!

　　The Kestrel's own weapons, one is a missile and the other is a laser. Missile weapons can directly pass through the shield of the enemy ship and cause direct damage to the hull, but each attack will consume one missile and cannot be used indefinitely.

　　As long as the laser is supplied with energy, it can continue to fire, but it will be blocked by the shield of the enemy ship.

　　The Kestrel's laser weapon burst type II, which can fire three consecutive shots after charging, is a very useful weapon.

　　The general attack strategy is to use missiles to penetrate the shield, quickly hit the enemy ship's weapon or shield system, and then connect to the laser attack.

　　If the weapon system of the spacecraft is damaged, it is like a crayfish that loses its pliers and can only be beaten in vain. Unbridled strikes on every part of the hull.

　　However, there is no guidance in these novice tutorials, and players need to summarize by themselves in battle.

　　In layman's terms, you know how to play when you die a few times.

　　Both weapons begin to charge.

　　The rhythmic drum kit beats softly, the rhythm is between tension and relaxation. The sound seems to be coming from the bottom of the sea. When you look up, you can see the light blue constantly changing, and the Kestrel is unfolding in the undercurrent of music. After the tactical maneuver, he was still hit by a laser, but at the same time his own attack also broke the shield of the enemy ship, and the laser "boom" blasted the opponent's cab.

　　The enemies in the first sector generally only have one layer of shield, which is relatively easy to deal with.

　　The drumstick tapped the snare drum lightly, and both weapons went into cooldown again.

　　Huang Mao Lin Fan calmly controlled the Kestrel, biting tightly behind the enemy ship. In the engine room, the crew was nervously repairing the damaged engine. The weapon hand predicted the enemy's movement trajectory. After the weapon had cooled down, he immediately pressed the launch button.

　　After three rounds of shooting, the rebel's transport ship's HP finally bottomed out.

　　Accompanied by a series of violent explosions, dazzling flames burst out from various parts of the spacecraft, and the rolling flame waves spread out with the explosion. Gone fireworks.

　　The entire hull was torn apart in the explosion and became a pile of space junk.

　　The dialog then appears:

　　"The ship was clearly transporting weapons, but alas, it seems that no useful weapons survived the heat of the battle.

　　Get 2 missiles, 1 fuel, 15 scrap. "

　　Lin Fan sighed inwardly, "If only we could capture the weapons!"

　　In fact, there is a hidden setting in "Beyond the Speed ​​of Light", that is, without destroying the spaceship, killing the opponent's crew by boarding or special weapons is considered a battle victory, and this way you can get more and better Booty.

　　The narration in the dialog box is actually a kind of cryptic prompt.

　　Lin Fan thought: "This battle has recovered the cost and earned a little more. Although the spaceship has lost two points of blood, it's not bad!"

　　Every time the spaceship makes a jump, it consumes one fuel. Scrap is the galactic currency that can be used to buy items in stores and to upgrade ships.

　　Lin Fan looked at the star map, and was surprised to find that at the current location, a planet in the lower right corner was marked with a request for advice!

　　Immediately decided to go there and have a look.

　　Jump!

　　Looking down from the spaceship, below is a vast white mountain range that stretches into the distance like a dragon.

　　The howling wind was mixed with snowflakes, making the earth look chaotic and hazy.

　　Several towering snow-capped mountains stand between this piece of heaven and earth, like a majestic silver-armored giant with blurred faces, and there is a hint of mystery in its majesty.

　　The Kestrel tracked the source of the signal and hovered over a field of snow.

　　Just a few hundred meters away, you can see a gray building that seems to be half buried by the blizzard, like some kind of secret research institute.

　　"It seems that the request signal came from that building, and your sensors detected a life form inside."

　　 1. Land on the surface to investigate.

　　 2. Ignore the signal.
