After the carrier lifted off, it flew into space, which was completely within Ding Meng's expectations.
Because Little Rascal had hypothesized for him before: If I were the chief commander of the Extreme Pirate Corps, I would not have built my base on Cypress Gu.
First of all, the underground city market on Cypress Gu had already taken shape. The Extreme Pirate Corps could make a fortune with the tax commission, so there was no need to build their base underground. If there was a riot, everyone's source of income would be affected.
Secondly, there was no need to build a base on the ground, because for the radar on the starship, the ground was completely exposed to the enemy's vision.
Therefore, one of the forty or fifty large starships drifting around Cypress Gu was the real base of the Extreme Pirate Corps.
Such general-purpose 'Giant Eye' starships had been abandoned by the Star Rainbow Group when the war of the Swallowing Sector broke out many years ago. They looked no different from building blocks in appearance. When the square boxes large and small were stacked together, they looked like iron buildings in space.
Today's mainstream transport starships of the Holy Grail Federation could not be of this shape. Take the carrier starship provided to Ding Meng as an example. In terms of shape, it was more reasonable and scientific than this "Giant Eye" starship. Although it was much smaller in size, its technology and equipment were more advanced, and its endurance and acceleration performance were stronger. It was suitable for activities in more complex star fields.
Starships from eighty or ninety years ago were definitely outdated, but they were not completely without advantages. This "Giant Eye" had a huge capacity, almost half the size of a miniature International Space Station. It was precisely because the technology was not as developed as it was today that the starships built at that time were more durable. If they encountered an attack ship, it would be easy for them to withstand six or seven rounds of conventional ship-borne firepower.
The forty-five "Giant Eyes" that were drifting around Cypress Gu had been modified countless times. The external patches were really dazzling and varied. Although Ding Meng did not understand starship technology, he did not underestimate these starships because they were definitely not as shabby as they looked on the surface. Ding Meng even had a feeling that these "Giant Eyes" could even withstand a round of bombardment from a railgun.
However, even though Ding Meng was mentally prepared in advance, he still did not expect that the coordinates of the carrier ship turned out to be the outermost starship of the entire Bogus Planet.
The ship looked like three flat boxes stacked on top of each other. The middle layer was particularly prominent and extended to both sides for a long time. The appearance of the ship was also very shabby. It was impossible to tell that this was the nest of the pirates.
Most importantly, it was floating at the outermost edge, as if it wasn't worried about being attacked by enemies at all, because it would be the first to be attacked.
Little Rascal said, "That's not necessarily true. This bandit group has done a lot of bad things. They must have a lot of enemies. If they really encounter a disaster, you will be the first to be beaten and the first to be able to escape. This bandit leader is quite smart."
Ding Meng agreed with the judgment. Although it was dangerous to stop at the periphery, it was also the starship that could detect danger first.
After he disembarked from the carrier ship, the situation in the reception port completely overturned Ding Meng's imagination. There was not the slightest common facilities on a starship in this place. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Ding Meng would have suspected that he was on the ground of the Flying Stars City again.
Yes, the place looked exactly like a city on the surface of the planet. Four semi-arc-shaped buildings that looked quite modern were standing on a beach. They were not exactly skyscrapers, but each of them was thirty floors high. Crystal projectors had been installed on the top floor of the buildings, projecting glamorous words that read 'Extreme Pirate Legion'.
The four buildings happened to form a circle. At the center of the circle was a blue artificial lake. The lake alone was estimated to be a hundred thousand square meters in size.
A 'cross' trunk channel was built on the lake for spaceships to land and vehicles to pass through. The place was surrounded by green lawns and thriving coconut trees. The blue lake and the green shade made it even more comfortable and pleasant.
At the periphery of the base was a boundless ocean. Above his head was a clear blue sky. Under the sunlight, the surface of the lake was sparkling and charming. The seawater was even more intoxicating.
Xiao Ai suddenly opened her mouth. "They must have separated this floor of the starship into an enormous space. According to my detection, the ocean and the sky are simulated by the crystal system, but the buildings and the lake are real. The other facilities and units of the starship should be in other cabins outside of this space. There is a 90% chance that this place is the nest of the Extreme Bandit Group."
Ding Meng asked in a low voice, "Can you show me the map of the entire starship?"
"Not yet," Xiao Ai replied.
Ding Meng was dazed. "Why not?"
"Last time in the Flying Stars City, I was able to detect all the maps because of the technological energy of the silver core stones," Xiao Ai said. "But this time, the energy inside your body comes from the toxins of the V4 planet, which does not boast such a function. Of course, I'm confident that I can simulate the structure of the four buildings, but it will take some time."
Ding Meng asked, "How long will it take?"
Xiao Ai replied, "According to my calculations, it will take at least six hours."
Ding Meng was even more surprised. "Why is it so long?"
Little Rascal also spoke up. "Ding Meng, this building is not as simple as it looks on the surface. It has a lot of defensive functions, and all of them are high-tech systems. There are also underground facilities. We estimate that that's the control center."
Ding Meng took a deep breath. After spending so much time and effort, he had finally made it to this place.
He had not thought of a way to seek justice for the refugees of the Green Arrow Base yet, but he was now experienced in sabotage. To be more precise, he was an expert in sabotage.
"Just wait and see how I'm going to teach you bastards a lesson this time!" Ding Meng made up his mind.
As the carrier landed on the empty beach, Ding Meng learned from Ye Mao Luan that the four buildings were divided into Buildings 1, 2, 3, and 4. All the foreign VIPs were usually arranged to stay in Building 1.
The entrance of the building was the main road in the shape of a cross. It was not until he came here that Ding Meng discovered that there was a circular apron at the center of the cross. At this moment, all kinds of flying cars and shuttles were parked there. Ding Meng had never seen many of them before, but Little Rascal was already explaining to him, "None of these cars are sold for less than five million star coins. They are all good cars."
It was obvious that Ding Meng was not the only VIPs that the Extreme Pirate Army was welcoming this time.
It was not until he entered the first floor of Building 1 that Ding Meng discovered that it was a super hall similar to a banquet hall. The hall was illuminated by all kinds of dazzling lights. The north side was like a performance stage. Not only were there more lights, but there were also crystal projectors, microphones, and other video and voice devices.
More than ten delicate long tables and chairs were arranged around the stage. At this moment, the VIPs invited by the Extreme Pirate Army were sitting around the tables in twos and threes. Almost every one of them was dressed up. The men were in suits and leather shoes, looking handsome, while the women were in formal dresses, looking gorgeous and elegant.
Even Mao Luan was not qualified to enter such an occasion. Ding Meng followed Guan Bai and went straight to a long table on the left side of the stage. Three men in suits were standing there.
Before they really got close, Ding Meng had already sensed three extraordinary waves of origin energy.
The first wave was very regular. It spread out in circles like radio waves. It was the most authentic origin energy of the thermodynamic class.
The wave was not strong, but Ding Meng did not underestimate it at all. It was exactly because it was so regular that it proved that the Cultivation of the Extreme Pirate Army had reached the peak of perfection. In fact, Ding Meng had learned from the Norse Empire that the waves were only one of the standards to judge someone's capability. If you wanted to see the real capability of a person, you could only see it in a battle.
The second wave was vigorous and heavy, emitting an aura silently like a mountain. It was obviously a Body Hardening Technique.
The third wave was the most powerful one. It was the standard thermodynamic class. Apart from everything else, the temperature of the hall was quite hot. Ding Meng noticed that a lot of cold air was spurting out of the air slots on the ceiling.
Avatars suddenly appeared on Xiao Ai's screen, showing the detailed information of the three men in Ding Meng's vision: Hu Biao (Commander of the 4th Regiment of the Extreme Pirate Army), Mao Zhan (Commander of the 2nd Regiment of the Extreme Pirate Army), and Lu Ming (Chief Commander of the Extreme Pirate Army).
The three of them were all in suits, shirts, leather shoes, and ties. However, this outfit could not hide the fierce and aggressive temperament of the mercenaries.
Mao Zhan, in the middle, was particularly tall and strong. He was simply a human-shaped steel plate.
Of course, Ding Meng's attention fell on Hu Biao. This man had a disgusting face. There was a twisted scar at the corner of his mouth, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Anyway, he was the kind of ruthless man who gave people a bad impression at first glance.
Compared with the ruthlessness of these two men, Lu Ming, as the Chief Commander of the Extreme Pirate Army, looked much better. He had good facial features, a handsome face, and a well-tailored blue suit. He was full of gentlemanly demeanor and the mature charm of a middle-aged man.
As soon as Guan Bai returned, Lu Ming took the initiative to greet him. "Old Guan, thank you for your hard work. Why don't I see Mr. Du Mo?"
Guan Bai's tone was a little regretful. "Mr. Du didn't want to come up. He went back to the Federation first."
"Oh!" Lu Ming also looked a little disappointed.
Guan Bai introduced him again. "Old Lu, this is Wild Wolf, the number one contributor to the excavation of this batch of goods. I brought him up to broaden his horizons."
Lu Ming obviously had no interest in Ding Meng. He just gently raised his chin as a greeting. "Thank you for your hard work, brother!"
There was no other way. Ding Meng's image had never been good. He had always looked like a savage who had rolled in the mud. Guan Bai really gave him a lot of face by bringing Ding Meng to this place on such an occasion.
