Earth-Union Space Fleet Base.

Ten Dreadnoughts of the First Fleet are preparing for departure.

Unlike reconnaissance ships, which have a single function, are unprotected and unarmed, and are specially designed for combat, the Dreadnought Type 1 is almost armed to the teeth.

The entire surface of the battleship is covered with dense giant gun muzzles, coupled with the huge hull comparable to that of an aircraft carrier, which makes people daunting just by looking at it.

Ten Dreadnoughts floated above the ground in a row, and it was a sight to behold from afar.

At this time, the crew of the No. 1 ship is being put on board one after another, unlike the reconnaissance ship that only needs dozens of people to control, the huge Dreadnought Type 1 battleship alone has hundreds of crew members, which is still in the design process, as much as possible to integrate most of the functions.

In the team, a relatively young-looking crew member gently patted the shoulder in front of him and said in a low voice, "Dude, get to know me, my name is Chu Yun, what is your name?"

"Gruy. ”

The person in front didn't seem to be very talkative, and responded rather coldly.

Chu Yun didn't care at all, he rubbed his hands and said with a little excitement, "I heard before I came here that the Dreadnought Type 1 is so powerful, and now that I see it up close, it's so handsome!"

It seems that he has been holding back for a long time, even if the other party looks cold, he said with great interest, "Look at the cannon barrels, they are all more than a hundred inches, what Yamato-class, Virginia-class, they have all been blown up!"

As he spoke, he waved his arms excitedly, "The giant ship cannon is a man's romance, not to mention, this is still a giant ship sailing into the sea of stars, what do you think, buddy?"

Obviously, this is a battleship fan, and a pair of eyes are almost welded to the Dreadnought 1, and the eyes are shining.

"If we lose the enemy, we may die at any time. ”

Unexpectedly, Gu Rui in front didn't buy it, and replied coldly.

"Uh......"

Chu Yun smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this happy to see the Dreadnought type." ”

However, he quickly changed the topic and seemed to be completely unconcerned, "Speaking of which, this guy is really big, and there are so many cannon barrels, can he fight flexibly in a space war when the time comes?"

Hearing this, Gu Rui glanced back at him rarely, and said as he walked, "Didn't you know about it before you came?"

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I secretly signed up from the military school from my family, and I didn't have a chance to understand before I came. Chu Yun smiled embarrassedly, and then patted his chest, "But my skills are excellent, don't worry." ”

Gu Rui shook his head and continued, "The Dreadnought Type 1 is the culmination of the cooperation between the Earth Federation and the Star World, the whole body is made of Yuanli metals such as Orichalcose, Mithril, and Gold Essence, and the external armor is all engraved with various rune combinations, which can reach the pinnacle of the earth level in terms of defense. In addition, its self-healing ability is also extremely outstanding, and if the damage does not exceed the limit, it can be automatically repaired by consuming metacrystalline energy all the time. ”

There seemed to be some doubts about the ability of this colleague, and it was rare for Gu Rui to say so much.

Chu Yun also listened very carefully.

"In terms of armament, the Dreadnought type has a total of 12 main guns, 2 on each side, 120 secondary guns, 20 per year, and can cover all directions without dead ends. As for the power, the main gun can reach the peak of the earth level, and it also slightly exceeds, with a caliber of 120 inches, and the secondary gun can reach the threshold of the earth level, with a caliber of 20 inches. ”

"Moreover, because it is a pure energy weapon, the attack speed is close to the speed of light, and it is almost difficult to dodge in the starry sky. Therefore, no matter how flexible the battleship is, it is useless, and when it comes to fighting, it is all about reaction speed, attack power and defense power. ”

"The quicker you react and keep adjusting your position before the opponent fires, the better you can avoid the attack. The stronger the attack power, for example, if you can solve the opponent with one shot, there is no question of continuing the battle. There is also defensive ability, not to mention, you hit the opponent's ship with a big hole, and the opponent hit it with a shot, but the armor is not there, do you still need to fight?"

Speaking of this, Gu Rui seemed to remember something, and sighed, "It's a pity that we still have too little time to develop, according to the information sent back by the reconnaissance ship, the opponent's warship is extremely fast, and it is certain that it is far superior to the Dreadnought Type 1 in terms of power." In other words, in space, we can't actively pursue each other, we can only passively wait for the other party to come to the door. ”

He shook his head and continued, "That is, if we win, the other party can run away with high speed, and we can't catch up, which is still good, and if we lose, then we really can't run." Therefore, the giant ship cannon is not as romantic as you think, but it is still very cruel. ”

After saying this, he glanced behind him, but he didn't see the slightest look of fear, which made him stunned for a moment.

Originally, in his opinion, when he put the cruel reality in front of the other party, he should have seen surprise, fear and even fear, but the young colleague in front of him, who looked a little erratic, did not show any negative emotions at all.

"Why, aren't you scared?" he asked.

Chu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of being afraid, the earth has become like this, someone has to stand up, right?"

"Actually, I was still very entangled before I came, after all, it is better to die than to live, and before it is really desperate, few people will selflessly dedicate their lives. He shook his head, "But if you keep hiding behind, don't fight, and keep being cowardly until the destruction of humanity, is that still a man?"

"Actually, I've always told myself that the giant ship cannon is very romantic, partly because I really like it, and partly because I can anesthetize myself a little. He continued with a wry smile, "In order not to let all kinds of other emotions affect you when you are fighting." ”

"At least, you can't hold everyone back. ”

At the end of the sentence, he seemed to recover his emotions and grinned.

Gu Rui nodded, glanced at the other party deeply, and then withdrew his gaze.

Those who know him well know that this is a sign that he recognizes a person.

Chu Yun, who originally looked outward and unreliable on the outside, was firm and fearless on the inside.

Just like the groups of colleagues around them who are boarding the battleship, in their eyes, how can they not be fearless?

Not to mention, those pioneers who piloted the reconnaissance ship even forgot their lives and forgot to die, almost exchanging their lives for information.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the existence of these people that human beings can survive in crisis after crisis, and no matter when, there are people who are carrying the burden.

Thinking of this, a rare smile appeared on Gu Rui's face.
