Earth Invasion

Chapter 20 Gliding No. [-]

Soon, half the morning passed.When the repairs were basically completed and he was about to restore the tail of the spaceship according to the assembly procedure, his roommate Alan Raynor floated over.

"Maizi, the foreman asked me to come to you. Hand over the work in hand to Henry first." The two were far enough away from the display, and Alan said to Zhang Mai.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Mai took off his mask, curled his fingers and rubbed near his temples.

"Yes, the moon has delivered supplies. But the idiots said that there are not enough dedicated transport ships. People from private transport companies have sent them and are unloading. The delivery man said that part of the transportation cost is to maintain their transport ships. The foreman is worrying, and I want you to go there." Speaking of the moon base, Allen looked contemptuous.

"Civilian? I remember that the goods sent by the moon are usually military supplies." Zhang Mai gave Henry a high-five as he floated over to take over.He floated over to the work preparation table, where there was a special cleaning agent, which could remove the special semiconductor film on his hands.

"So it's a group of idiots." Alan followed behind, and at the same time handed an LED to Zhang Mai, "Look, do you recognize this boat?"

On the LED is an old looking ship.Elongated fusiform hull with a low Cambridge.The cross-section of the propeller array at the rear is rectangular, and it does not have a perfect streamlined fusion with the hull.At the same time, there are two standard container slide rails on the lower part of the hull, which can be used to mount aerospace containers.There are two long metal rods on both sides of the front of the ship.At the same time, there is an inconspicuous opening in the bow.

"Class 653, an old ship retired by SCO. Judging by the length of the two heavy-duty cannons in front, it should be an upgraded H2 type. But the propeller may have been modified by itself, so it's not the same." After saying this, Zhang Mai returned Come on.

"The moon hired a civilian armed transport ship to deliver military supplies to us?! These guys say they are transporting personnel, but are they actually similar to mercenaries or pirates?"

"It's not a matter of cost, there is a shortage of transport ships. Well, this ship is 100% from L1, and that place is the territory of the Recycler Association. Pirates are pirates, and it's not like they don't do any serious business. Besides, a small peripheral How can the company find trouble with the government department. Well, you just need to know each other. The foreman is worrying, and few in the maintenance department understand the SCO military ships. If you know, you may get a lot of bonuses.”

"I know, I know." Zhang Mai nodded. When teaching at the school, the branch once specially bought a 653H2 class that was about to be scrapped and sold to a private security company as a teaching tool.Zhang Mai can say that the structure of this ship is very clear.

"Let's go, let's go to the dock. However, these guys often modify their ships. If they modify too much, I can't help it."

The two grabbed a small robot with a can of compressed air and flew towards the dock.Try not to use heat engines in the satellite factory area. If people want to move in a straight line, they must either use their legs to pop themselves out, or use this small robot carrying a compressed air tank as a moving tool like Zhang Mai and Alan. .

The dock area is divided into inner and outer floors.The outer layer is where the spacecraft flies or enters the port.Basically in space, people have to wear spacesuits to go there.General cargo or passenger spaceships dock at the outer dock area.There is a transit area in the middle, which is the transit area before the spacecraft enters the interior of the satellite for renovation.Once in the area, the gates are closed, and the port inflates and pressurizes the area.Otherwise, all the staff in the inner port area who did not wear spacesuits would freeze to death.

Two representatives were sent as soon as the ship entered the inner harbour.After all, it is an armed transport ship, and it is the desperadoes of L1 and L2.So the port did not give them instructions to leave the port area.These guys are also sensible, and didn't make any extra requests.The general requirements such as refueling and replenishing fresh water were not left behind.

When Zhang Mai and the others passed by, the representative on the ship was talking with the foreman of the repair shop and the person in charge of the port area.One of them was a blonde in a formal suit and dress, her hair pulled back, and a pair of rimless gold-rimmed glasses gave her a stern look.

While the other person can't tell his age, he can only tell that he is tall and has broad shoulders.A pair of eyebrows are very powerful, but the eyes are very slender.A head of black hair that can be said to be long or short, with some white hair mixed in it.And the hair is very hard, and many of them stand on end.The blonde was discussing something with the foreman, and this guy was looking around absent-mindedly.He seemed to realize that he was looking at him, and smiled openly at him, shaking the cigarette in his hand.

Cigarettes?

"Sir, smoking is prohibited here." Flying over, Zhang Mai said honestly to the guy who actually smoked in the satellite factory.

"Smoke? Oh, I think you misunderstood, this is chewing gum, do you want it?" The guy shook the thing he said, and then put it in his mouth.

The liar!Zhang Mai put a label on him.I clearly saw the light on the cigarette butt in this guy's hand, when did he change it to chewing gum!
"We will abide by the rules, please don't worry." The blonde seemed to have noticed, she pushed the guy away and came in front of her.

"Miss Jumene, this is Zhang Mai, the engineer responsible for the maintenance of your ship. He is from SCO." The foreman seemed to be having a good time talking with the blonde, and was introducing himself with a smile.

He was promoted so quickly.Zhang Mai slandered, but this was not the time to expose it.He reached out to the blonde.

"Hello. My name is Zhang Mai. From now on, I will be responsible for the maintenance of your ship."

"Hello." The blond beauty held Zhang Mai's hand, "Nice to meet you, Engineer Zhang. My name is Sophie Marie de Gumenet. Your English is excellent."

It turned out to be fluent in Chinese, and there are some children's accents from the northern region.Zhang Mai was stunned for a moment. The long list of names of this blonde girl was obviously a French name, and she still had an identity.He couldn't help but put away his contempt for these armed dealers.

"Ah, Miss Jumene, I wonder what kind of maintenance you plan to do to your ship? Also, I found that your ship has traces of refitting. Can you tell me about the refitting of this 653H2 class ship? Ah, sorry, What's the name of your ship?" Zhang Mai switched back to Chinese, and his speech was not slow.

"Number eight." Mademoiselle Gumenet showed a smile as bright as the sun.

"Glide Eight."
