Chapter 746 Murder and Silence
Fu Qinghai rode a Rank beast into the cargo hold.
Compared to poachers who use anesthetics to drug and tow animals, Fu Qinghai captured a Lank beast with much less effort. He could already subdue wild beasts with brute force, and after mastering the skill of communicating with animal souls, his methods became even more diverse, making him incredibly efficient at taming wild animals.
Commanding Rank to lie still in the cargo hold, Fu Qinghai symbolically put iron rings and chains on its hands and feet, then sat down in the bridge of the light cargo ship.
"How do you navigate this cargo ship?"
Fu Qinghai sat in the spaceship's cockpit, facing the instrument panel and control stick, looking at the robot standing beside him.
"This is the start button for the main and auxiliary engines, this is the start button for the hyperspace engine, this is the switch knob for the anti-gravity system, this is the lever for opening and closing the cargo hatch, this is the directional control lever, and this is the emergency separation button. Pressing this will unlock and detach the two cargo hatches..."
BD-257 is explained in great detail.
Fu Qinghai glanced at the controls and memorized all the switches and operating procedures. He first started the spaceship's main and auxiliary engines, then toggled the hatch closing button. The left cargo hatch slowly closed, and then he steadily pulled the control lever. The spaceship jolted violently and slowly lifted off the ground.
Standing behind Fu Qinghai, Sirri watched in surprise as the man skillfully started the spaceship.
Have you ever piloted a spaceship before?
"I can't believe it," Sirri asked curiously.
"I've driven it."
Fu Qinghai said calmly.
But not in this universe.
He said in his mind.
"Whoosh—"
The three parallel nozzles at the stern of the YU-410 light cargo ship spewed out ion flames. The spaceship slowly rose to treetop height, turned half a circle to adjust its direction, and then quickly tilted its head back and soared into the sky.
…………
Fu Qinghai turned his head to look at Dasomir outside the porthole, which had turned into a colorful planet and was gradually fading into the distance.
“Set the course, Tatooine.”
Fu Qinghai turned around and gave instructions to the robot.
"Roger Roger".
BD-257 nodded, raised his hand and tapped the instrument panel several times to activate the navigation system and begin setting the route.
As the hyperdrive activated, the twinkling stars directly in front of the cockpit window gradually lengthened into streaks, eventually transforming into a dense and dazzling array of thin, elongated beams of light that enveloped the entire field of vision—a classic hyperspace effect. All surrounding scenery vanished, and the spaceship seemed to enter a shimmering, winding tunnel, rapidly traversing along it.
Fu Qinghai and the robot sat side by side in the pilot's seat. After the spaceship successfully entered hyperspace, Fu Qinghai clicked a few times on the screen to bring up the cargo ship's configuration information:
Model: YU-410 light cargo ship
Manufacturer: Corellia Engineering
Product Line: YU Series
Price: 200000 Credits (New)
Length: 44 meters
Maximum atmospheric speed: 800 km/h
Hyperspace Drive Level: Level 2.0 / Level 12 (Spare)
Shield System: Civilian-grade deflector shield generator
Navigation system: Rubicon navigation computer
Weapons and Equipment: Twin-linked Explosive Turret (4)
Crew: 4 / Gunners (4)
Passengers: 12
Cargo capacity: 250 metric tons
Consumables: 2 months' supply
This is a good ship.
Fu Qinghai commented in his mind.
Judging from its appearance and condition, most of the systems on the spaceship are about 70-80% new, and the configuration is fairly standard. However, ships produced by Corellia Engineering Corporation have a characteristic—they have great potential for modification. Therefore, its civilian transport ships are very popular with gangsters, pirates and smugglers.
The hyperspace drive level is one of the important standards for measuring the speed of hyperspace travel of space vehicles. The lower the level, the faster the speed. The vast majority of warships and fighter jets can only reach a maximum hyperspace drive level of 1.0. Those that can exceed 1.0 are extremely rare.
For example, the Millennium Falcon, model YL-2200, also had a Hyperdrive level of 2.0. However, after extensive modifications by successive owners such as Lando Calrissian and Han Solo, its Hyperdrive level reached a terrifying 0.5, making it one of the fastest smuggling ships in the galaxy.
In comparison, the first-generation Death Star had a hyperspace drive level of 14, meaning that while the Death Star could perform hyperspace jumps, its speed was extremely slow.
At the same time, as a transport ship that is larger and heavier than a fighter jet, the Millennium Falcon has a considerable speed in the atmosphere. Thanks to its excellent original structural layout and flat shape, the modified Millennium Falcon can even outrun small fighter jets such as TIE fighters in the atmosphere.
The YU-410 light cargo ship has not been modified, and the total mileage shown in the voyage log is not very long.
"I'll leave this to you."
Fu Qinghai patted the robot on the shoulder, got up, left the driver's seat, and walked towards the cargo ship's living area.
"Roger Roger".
BD-257 answered crisply.
Fu Qinghai walked along the corridor to the living space on the cargo ship. Siri sat alone at the dining table, resting his chin on his hand and staring blankly into space, seemingly lost in thought.
Fu Qinghai sat down next to Xierli, picked out the T-21 light rapid-fire blaster from the pile of blaster weapons on the table, and examined it carefully in his hand.
The two men seized eleven energy weapons from the poachers: seven energy rifles and four energy pistols. The most powerful of these was the T-21 light automatic energy rifle.
This was Fu Qinghai's first time encountering this explosive weapon, but he only examined and played with it for three or four seconds before quickly disassembling the explosive rifle into a pile of parts: barrel, trigger, focusing coil, cooling coil, focusing device, energy pack, power supply tube... all neatly arranged on the table.
Fu Qinghai once captured an E-11 blaster in the Marvel Comics universe. It was the standard blaster for the Imperial Stormtroopers, and its structure was simpler than the one in front of him.
In fact, given Phaeton's world-class technological research and development capabilities, replicating and mass-producing explosive weapons would not be a problem. The real issue lies in the lack of a cheap alternative explosive gas.
Fu Qinghai casually reassembled the parts, and the explosive rifle appeared in his hand exactly as it was. He put the rifle aside and picked up two explosive pistols.
DH-17 and DL-18 blast pistols.
These two pistols, like the T-21 light automatic explosive gun, are all products of Explosive Energy Technology Industries.
Explosives Technologies Industries, along with Melson and Sorosub, are the three major explosive weapons manufacturers in the galaxy. Explosives Technologies Industries is the most technologically advanced and holds the largest market share, making it the market and industry leader. The vast majority of explosive weapons found throughout the galaxy originate from this company.
Fu Qinghai pulled out two leather holsters, inserted the two energy pistols into the holsters, and strapped them to the outside of his thighs. Then he slung the sling of the T-21 light automatic energy pistol over his shoulder.
The Azure Shell Power Armor integrates weapons such as the Pulse Bomb Gun, Plasma Incinerator, and Twin-Barreled Thermomelan Cannon. However, the different ammunition for these weapons is in the white briefcase that Tarasin stole. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, Fu Qinghai decides to use blaster weapons from Star Wars to make up for the lack of firepower.
After selecting three explosive weapons.
Fu Qinghai looked up at Siri:
"Have everything been explained to the tribe?"
"I've made the arrangements. The Dark Night Sisters aren't hothouse flowers. They can take good care of themselves after I leave."
Sylli nodded slightly and said.
"So where do you plan to go next?"
Fu Qinghai got straight to the point and asked.
"I'm going to find Moore."
Sylvie clearly made this decision after careful consideration, and answered decisively:
“I’m going to verify what you’ve said. I’m going to ask Moore what really happened in the destruction of Dathomir.”
"Hmm, whatever you want."
Fu Qinghai stood up and patted Syllie on the shoulder, gesturing for her to come over. The Dathomir witch, puzzled, got up and followed him to the left cargo hold of the spaceship. Fu Qinghai raised his hand and pressed the button on the wall, and the hatch slid open. The Wookiees and Salests leaned listlessly against the corner of the cargo hold.
Fu Qinghai has acquired the explosive pistol.
"Biu!" "Biu!"
Two blue beams of energy flashed past.
Two aliens collapsed in the corner.
Sylvie raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The hatch slid open again, and Fu Qinghai, dragging a corpse in one hand, arrived at the right cargo hold where the Rank Beast was imprisoned. He threw the corpse in front of Rank Beast, then stepped forward and stroked the beast's hideous and terrifying face.
"Eat."
Rank lowered his head and began to tear and swallow.
Do you know why I killed them?
Fu Qinghai asked, looking at Rank who was eating.
"why?"
Syllie stood behind him and asked.
"They saw me use the Force."
Fu Qinghai explained calmly.
Sylvie suddenly realized and said:
"You're going to the core area."
Fu Qinghai patted the gun on the side of his thigh:
"From now on, I'll have to rely on these guys. I won't use the Force in front of others unless it's absolutely necessary."
At this juncture, the Imperial authorities are at the peak of their manhunt for Jedi who escaped Order 66. Once any supernatural or surreal signs of the Force are discovered, Imperial officials will immediately arrive with stormtroopers or army soldiers to investigate. If it is indeed a Jedi, an Imperial Inquisitor will then lead a group of Death Soldiers in black armor to silence them. No Jedi Cubs will be spared.
"What about the robot?"
Sylvie cautiously looked up and asked.
“I’m not sure if it saw it at the time, but it can pilot the spaceship. I’m leaving it and the spaceship to you. You can choose to watch over it yourself, have someone reprogram it, or kill it. It’s up to you.”
Fu Qinghai leaned against the cabin door and said calmly.
Given the vastness of the Milky Way and the Sith Lord's deliberate concealment of himself, where could Syllie possibly find him? Even with the clue that Darth Maul is the mastermind behind the Crimson Dawn, the Crimson Dawn doesn't have a fixed headquarters. Dryden Voss drifts around on a Naur-class yacht. It would probably take Syllie a great deal of effort to find him.
"Give me the spaceship..."
Sylvie stared at him blankly, puzzled:
"Then what do you do?"
"I don't need you to worry about me. I can pilot the spaceship myself, and getting a spaceship is too easy for me."
Fu Qinghai smiled and pinched the woman's cheek:
"This is a good ship. Take good care of it and use it with care. Don't just destroy it."
Sylvie couldn't help but raise her hands and wrap them around Fu Qinghai's neck, stand on tiptoe, close her eyes, tilt her head back, and pout her lips to offer a sweet kiss. Her whole body was completely attached to the man, her soft and elastic body pressed tightly against his.
After a brief entanglement, the two gently separated.
"I love you."
In the dim light of the spaceship corridor, Sirri, panting, rested his head on Fu Qinghai's chest and whispered.
Fu Qinghai smiled upon hearing this, raised his hand to pat her head, then his smile faded and he became serious, reminding her:
"Whatever Moore does, don't get too involved with him. That guy is too obsessed and will get himself into trouble sooner or later. Don't go with him to your death."
"You seem to know Moore better than I do."
Sylvie looked up and asked curiously:
"You knew him before?"
of course.
Fu Qinghai thought to himself.
Darth Maul was originally killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel film Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, but because the villain was so popular and had so many fans, Disney resurrected him. The resurrected Darth Maul didn't stop there, repeatedly testing the limits of his own life, and always managed to come back to life.
Darth Maul was kidnapped and trained by Darth Sidious from a young age, constantly instilled with ideas of hatred, anger, and killing, and used to manipulate the power of the dark side, resulting in Maul's extremely paranoid and cruel personality.
Darth Maul can court death because Darth Mitch will forcibly resurrect him, but if Sylvie follows Maul in courting death, she might not survive. Those who follow Darth Maul usually don't end up well.
Fu Qinghai was thinking about how to answer the question.
The two suddenly felt the floor beneath their feet jerk slightly.
"We've arrived, sir."
The robot's voice came from the cockpit.
"Just pretend I know him."
Fu Qinghai patted Siri's butt.
……
Fu Qinghai squinted at the yellowish-brown planet outside the window from the driver's seat, as well as the two satellites in orbit, and guessed that there was another satellite on the far side of the planet.
Tatooine, the hometown of Anakin Skywalker.
Tatooine is the center of the universe, the origin of all things.
This scorching desert planet, baked by the twin suns, is located in the Hutt Space region of the outer ring of the Milky Way. It is remote, has a harsh climate, is resource-poor, and its inhabitants are fierce and warlike. Originally, it was inconspicuous among the many planets in the Milky Way, but because many key events that influenced the fate of the Star Wars multiverse took place here, it is jokingly referred to by Star Wars fans as the "center of the universe" and the "origin of everything."
Fu Qinghai turned on the transponder at the top.
"Buzz... Beep beep."
A voice quickly came through the communication channel:
"This is Mos Eisley Star Tower. We are tracking your location. Proceed to berth 46. Over."
"receive."
Fu Qinghai replied calmly:
"Locate berth number 46."
"Roger Roger".
BD-257 quickly adjusted its flight course.
The light cargo ship flew towards the yellowish-brown planet.
