Chapter 33: Silence

  ”Oh, Hanton, this plan of yours...”

  Kolev looked at the projection screen filled with Sherman’s Imperial language written by Hamilton, and his brows wrinkled slightly, then gradually relaxed.

  ”It seems very feasible,” the old man said.

  Hamilton narrowed his eyes and laughed.

  Kolev quickly frowned and said: “But I need to pay a bill of at least several million for this.”

  ”Are you short of money?” Hamilton hooked Kolev’s neck.

  ”No shortage.”

  ”Then can you live forever?” Hamilton asked again.

  Kolev snorted: “How is it possible! I can only live for another ten or twenty years at most, and there is no way I can reach the average life span of 120 years that those noble gentlemen have worked hard to pull up. I have too many hidden wounds on my body., in order to speed up cell division several times to heal the injury, the telomere wear is too serious.”

  ”Then what’s the use of keeping your money? Will you still feel happy after death?” Hamilton’s eyes were full of compassion.

  Kolev was stunned when he was asked, still struggling.

  Hamilton said seriously: “Kolev, your money is just with you in another form. It has become part of your assets. Besides, when you take back those six pirate ships, you can sell one or two. After all, when the time comes, you certainly wouldn’t have that many crews to fly them.”

  ”Oh, this...”

  Kolev looked at the projection screen and fell into thought.

  Yes, Hamilton’s idea is great. Although this plan also has risky elements, it is indeed more reliable and more executable than his previous plan.

  ”Hanton,” Kolev made a decision.

  ”Um?”

  ”After meeting you, my wealth continues to shrink. I don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune.”

  Kolev shook his head and sighed:

  ”Give me some time to prepare. The most critical things are a small spaceship with strong stealth performance and an expensive bionic robot. These are not easy to obtain.”

  ”Would you like to take Mimi Li over to do this vote together?” Hamilton tried to suggest.

  ”This is a man’s war,” Kolev said. “Let women and children hide first.”

  ”You will be criticized for doing this, Kolev.”

  ”I’m a pirate! A pirate!”

  Kolev walked to his lounge angrily:

  ”The Star Patrol will shoot me before the feminists have a chance to question me! I haven’t even gotten my pirate crew back before I’m bleeding! Oh my God! I haven’t spent the past ten years like this More credit coins!”

  Hamilton leaned against the star mapper, stared at his perfect plan, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

  Just because of this old man’s stinginess.

  He must have a lot of money!

  ...

  After the tedious and secretive procurement and preparation work, Captain Hamilton and his first mate began to formally implement their plan.

  A dark blue stealth assault boat quietly slid into the quiet meteorite belt.

  Hamilton was driving the ship, and the assistant pilot was Molly 2 who had entered the operating system of the stealth boat. Kolev kept a close eye on the comprehensive detection instrument. As long as there was any abnormal data, they would immediately give up the action and turn around and leave.

  The turtle-shell Feinan was parked behind an asteroid in complete silence.

  ”Hanton, Mimi seems to be angry and crying. Molly told me ... Mimi is very dissatisfied with me forbidding her from opening the pirate ship. What do you think we should do?”

  An old man tried to start a household topic.

  Hamilton had no time to pay attention to him.

  He was concentrating on the auxiliary lines that appeared on the glass in front, calculating the crooked course that followed, and his hands holding the square rudder were as steady as a rock.

  When he reached the area where the route was easier, Hamilton couldn’t help but complain: “Why did you choose the pirate base in the meteorite belt!”

  Kolev smiled and said: “There is a channel I opened in the other direction. This is the best barrier. Even if we are tracked by patrol warships, we can easily find a hiding place.”

  Hamilton said: “So, we haven’t invaded yet?”

  Kolev was speechless.

  This slow sailing lasted for more than an hour. Under Kolev’s guidance, the stealth boat easily crossed the lax cordon. The front and rear engines output minimum power at the same time, maintaining relative stillness to a meteorite ahead.

  Behind this meteorite is a small spaceport with a metal structure, and protective shields guard the brightly lit buildings.

  Two two-hundred-meter class and one three-hundred-meter class pirate ships were docked in the dock. They were docked on the outside of the protective shield.

  Across the near-vacuum environment, Hamilton seemed to hear the lively voices inside the protective shield.

  ”Spore out,” Hamilton ordered in a low voice.

  Molly Two’s synthesized voice chimes in: “Repeat, release spores.”

  Kolev quickly tapped the projection screen with his hands, “Okay, release the spores.”

  The sleek stealth boat opened its tail fin, and mosquito-like electronic instruments flew outward and dispersed rapidly.

  The stealth boat was suspended motionless.

  Kolev stared nervously at the screen in front of him. Tiny light spots appeared on it, slowly approaching the three target ships.

  A few minutes later, all three ships were enveloped in light spots.

  And these tiny particles did not attract the slightest attention from the pirate patrol team.

  ”Okay, let’s get out of here.”

  Kolev whispered.

  Hamilton skillfully pulled up the square rudder and drove slowly towards the way he came.

  Leave the opponent’s patrol area.

  Get out of the opponent’s radar area.

  When he flew out of this ‘starry sky and rocky hills’, a little sweat broke out on Hamilton’s forehead, and he complained: “This is much more tiring than teaching Mimili swordsmanship.”

  ”Don’t accelerate too fast. Only by accelerating smoothly can the concealment of this small boat be used,” Kolev reminded. “There is also a big shark swimming quickly in this airspace. We must be extremely careful.”
