In today's world, many situations have undergone fundamental changes, one of which is the transformation of the defense forces.

After the events of the Kiri Elrod, the threat level of the monsters has risen to a level, making many nations aware of one thing, the creatures in the universe seem to have deep hostility.

And hostile civilizations, more than one or two.

In this environment where there are monsters inside and strong enemies outside, the unity of mankind is unprecedentedly high.

However, more importantly, Sero may have had an accident, because in the crisis where many monsters appeared, the figure that humans expected did not appear.

In this regard, there are also different opinions in the human world, some say that Sero is dead, and some say that Sero is afraid.

Sero has saved humans many times, but it seems that humans are not grateful to Sero.

But it is undeniable that human beings have gradually woken up in the fear of Sero's disappearance, knowing that Sero cannot appear every time, and the days when they watched Sero fight monsters comfortably seemed to be gone.

Then, it was the transformation of the defense forces, and after Sero disappeared, the defense forces became the last line of defense for mankind, so humans paid special attention to it.

Thousands of people have even written petitions to see the weapons of the Defence Forces, so that they can hand over the Earth to them with peace of mind.

This unreasonable demand is rejected, and who knows if there will be a traitor among the human race?

However, this also secretly reflects one thing, that is, the hearts of human beings are really panicked.

The power of the people is very powerful, and this has been confirmed in the process of human development.

China's peasant uprisings of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the Paris Commune movement, and the War of Independence......

There are many examples that show that if the people at the grassroots level unite as a force, they can overthrow all power.

Therefore, they can't help but care, after all, the grassroots people are very good at agitating, but once they make a mistake, they will be burned.

China's night raids have always been known for their mystery, no one knows their true location, and each time they attack, the position changes somewhat.

This makes the Chinese people very uneasy, so they don't ask for a visit to any weapon system, you at least show up, let's see!

At first, the government could ignore this request, but as time went by, the call became louder and louder, and even some so-called celebrities demanded it.

In this way, the society began to have some turmoil, and in order to calm down, the government could only let the night raid appear temporarily.

Ding Yunfeng is a very thoughtful person, he set up three "night raid branches", and declared to the outside world that only one is true, in order to prevent being invaded, he made this decision, by the way, show a little something, let them understand the strength of the night raid.

However, in fact, the location of the branch is all fake, only one branch is in the underground base of Gaoyang City, and there is also a headquarters, and the rest are all placed outside by Ding Yunfeng to attract attention.

As a result, the social turmoil temporarily calmed down, but Ding Yunfeng knew that this kind of calm was really temporary, it could be short-lived, it could erupt in the next second, or it could be a hundred years later.

This time depends on the time when the monster appears.

Peace is a comfortable cradle, and humanity lies in it, enjoying these things, but the people who protect the cradle are gone, and humanity has not yet fully awakened.

However, it's also time that they can really wake up from a terrible nightmare.

The base headquarters of the night attack, no, it can't be said to be the headquarters, Ding Yunfeng tilted a lot of resources into the branch of Gaoyang City, it can be said that its importance is not much worse than the headquarters.

Huang Ying was in the hangar, and the staff opposite was talking about her opinion.

"The propulsion system can continue to be improved, and if possible, the propulsion system can be used to the extreme. ”

"But in that case, you have to uninstall a lot of security systems. ”

The staff recorded the pen and paused, and said with some hesitation.

"No problem, those who can stand up to this machine are the masters of some masters, and this security system is better without it. ”

Huang Ying shook her head slightly, picked up the coffee next to the table, it was a bit too much to stay up late in the past two days, and sometimes she needed to drink coffee to refresh herself.

"Do you need to continue debugging?"

The staff was about to say something, but when they saw the coffee in Huang Ying's hand, they suddenly paused, and the words they just said instantly became: "Okay, I'll go and debug it." ”

"Well, thank you. ”

Huang Ying smiled at the man, these few times are the reconciliation of the aircraft performance carried out by this young man, which is very good, with the demeanor of an old man.

Speaking of the old man, Huang Ying's eyes rarely crossed a trace of naughtiness, put down the coffee in his hand, and walked towards a small room below.

"Squeak-"

Huang Ying pushed open the door, revealing a head, and saw the people inside.

It was a white-headed old man, about sixty years old, dressed in a spirited white uniform and meticulously groomed with his hair.

At this moment, he is looking at the latest fighter, Jueying-MAX, this is a sketch constructed by many experts, now there are too few fighters that can be used for night attacks, the Flying Eagle has insufficient firepower, it is better to use it for training newcomers, and the alpha drive firepower is enough, but the driving conditions are too harsh, and the endurance is not strong, the super electromagnetic cannon can be used up to three times, and the plane is a piece of scrap iron that can fly, no, it is not certain whether it can fly at that time.

Therefore, the night raid needs to urgently develop newer fighters.

Therefore, I invited the old man back, the old man Qiu Dingming, a veteran expert in the last century, was also the leader of new energy drives, and is now responsible for the research and development of new energy drives.

The headquarters urgently transferred Qiu Dingming's old man back, because in this regard, his old man said second, and no one dared to say first.

"Haven't slept yet?"

Huang Ying saw that the old man was still looking at the design drawings, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the watch.

But when she found that there was nothing on her wrist, she remembered that she had just tested the flight and subconsciously took off her watch.

However, it is estimated that the time is around two o'clock in the morning.

"Girl?"

Qiu Dingming listened to Huang Ying's voice, subconsciously turned his head, saw Huang Ying, was slightly stunned, and said, "Didn't you sleep too?"

"I'm used to it, but you, you should pay attention to your physical condition. ”

Huang Ying walked to the old man's side with a smile, pinched Qiu Dingming's shoulder, and said.

"Me, an old fellow with half a foot in the coffin?"

The old man said a little sarcastically, and then said to Huang Ying: "This world is the stage for you young people, we old men should quit." ”

"Phew. ”

Huang Ying took a sip of disgust, looked at the old man and said, "What do you say, you can live a long life!"

"Haha, alright, you go to sleep. ”

When the old man heard Huang Ying's words, he laughed, no one hates to stop talking like this, Qiu Dingming is no exception, but he still said to Huang Ying: "As the ace pilot of the night attack base, you should adjust your physical condition to ensure that you can fight at any time, instead of wasting time with me, an old guy." ”

"Don't worry, I have ...... in my heart"

Huang Ying walked to the other side of the table with a smile and looked at the sketch of Jueying-MAX, in fact, Huang Ying was not the first time to read it, she had seen it many times on Cheng Yu's computer, but it was still unfinished at that time.

"Still have questions?"

Huang Ying looked at this sketch, and to be honest, she felt that the headquarters was playing a big game, because this configuration, this kind of thruster, plus the weapon system, is not an order of magnitude at all, in other words.

The Jeeying-MAX is a medium-sized long-range fighter in the fifteen to twenty ton class, but this weapon configuration can be said to be a luxury.

Huang Ying's first reaction was whether it could be mass-produced, after all, this kind of weapon was at the same level as the super electromagnetic cannon.

"It's not a problem. ”

The old man rubbed his temples with some distress and said, "It's a big problem." ”

"Why?"

Huang Ying looked at Qiu Dingming a little blankly, she didn't think there was any problem.

"Think about it carefully, the propulsion mode used by the Jeeping-MAX is antimatter-driven. ”

Qiu Dingming pointed to the power source of the Absolute Shadow-MAX and said to Huang Ying seriously: "Antimatter can provide the highest density energy source, which is very suitable for ultra-long-distance navigation. The energy released by this antimatter reaction is spontaneous and does not require any complex reactor system or cumbersome start-up procedures to induce the reaction. ”

"Well, indeed, that's true. ”

When Huang Ying heard this, she nodded, but she didn't pay too much attention to it at first.

"A possible technique for antimatter rocket propulsion systems involves the quantum effects of Schwinger electron couples, and we are experimentally exploring all known forms of energy in the universe, which can be accurately described as a quantum field. ”

Qiu Dingming knocked on the table, a light screen appeared in front of the two people, and the old man quickly calculated the vibration frequency of the magnetic field of the universe: "The pattern of each vacuum behavior is like a simple harmonic vibration generator, and the quantum mechanical properties of simple harmonic vibration are the manifestation of ground state fluctuations, as a result of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. ”

"Wait......"

Huang Ying was a little confused when she heard it, didn't she say airplanes, how did they get to the universe?

"Do you think a simple mission will bring me back?"

The old man smiled and said to Huang Ying: "Ding Yunfeng, in the next big chess game, he persuaded other veterans to support him in the new promotion mode, but not only for the sake of the earth protection network, he is not the kind of person who shrinks, so what do you imagine?"

"A new model...... Antimatter ......"

Huang Ying listened to the old man's words, and the two things that she didn't want to do were combined, and a concept came to mind, she took a breath of cold air, and said slowly: "Interstellar Fleet." ”

As the name suggests, a fleet that can carry out long-distance voyages at the stellar level.

This is a good suggestion, and those so-called high-ups also like this plan, because it is possible to run away at any time and then find a new home.

"It's a battleship!"

Qiu Dingming held up a finger and corrected: "But one thing is that the antimatter drive does not seem to be enough, if you want to reach the solar system, or even beyond. ”

"What about nuclear fusion?"

Huang Ying suddenly said, don't look at him as a girl, in fact, he doesn't know a lot, just listen to her say: "The mass loss of nuclear fuel can be converted into antimatter storage, so that the quality of the working fluid can be reduced by a hundredfold." ”

"But the energy problem still can't be solved. ”

Qiu Dingming sighed, and then said: "In the face of such a difficult task, even a nuclear fission pulse engine is not enough, let alone an ordinary chemical rocket engine. Using a magnetic confinement fusion engine, small particles mixed with deuterium/helium-3 are fed into a combustion chamber composed of magnetic inertial confinement, and high-energy particles or laser ignition are used to carry out nuclear fusion reactions, igniting 250 particles per second, and the high-temperature ions produced are directed from the nozzle limited by the magnetic field. To put it more directly: controlled nuclear fusion + magnetron directional injection. ”

“……”

Huang Ying was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "I don't have your expertise in this area, so it's up to you to decide." ”

"Haha......"

The old man couldn't help but smile and said, "You are still the same, and you like to throw it to me when you encounter problems." ”

"Haha. ”

Huang Ying smiled a little shyly, then was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, I think, why do you have to build a long-distance fleet? Isn't it good to be in your own homeland? In the vast world of the universe, you may not find a place for supplies, you can only be in the universe, lonely wandering, without a home, in the dark, flying towards a darker place. ”

"Well said. ”

The old man quietly listened to Huang Ying's words, nodded, and said: "However, human beings' expectations for the universe are beautiful, and they hope that in the universe, they will encounter their imaginary heaven, and we have no right to take it away." ”

"Really......"

Huang Ying nodded, more like herself when she was a child, she had a deep and beautiful imagination of the universe, thinking that there would be charitable aliens who would give her superpowers, and then she would help her parents and let them live a good life.

Now it has been achieved, there are no aliens, relying on their own hands.

"Perhaps, hope is beautiful and should not be destroyed. ”

Huang Ying sighed and said, "Even if you don't agree, what can you do? Commanding him has his own ideas, and I have intuition, it is definitely not as simple as the Expeditionary Fleet." ”

"This kid, I thought of this when I first thought of it, and I have to admire it. ”

Qiu Dingming said, sighed, and said: "The future is terrifying, people are really people, and they can't accept the old." ”

"What are you talking about? You're not old at all. ”

Huang Ying walked to the old man's side with a smile, happy like a child, his parents were not around, and the old man was Huang Ying's relative.

(Whew, I'm tired, my hands are numb when I type, about the so-called antimatter drive, Wo specifically checked, it's not my nonsense, and there is also that if human beings can really carry out a star-level voyage, will you abandon the earth? I don't want to, maybe I don't have the courage to face the boundless darkness of the universe, right?)
