Chapter 25 Preparations for Action
On the fourth day of coming to the surface of Tianjing, Luo Yunxi left first, and she was going to meet the "Typhoon" to prepare for the rescue operation four days later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info while Monica stays by Fengyu's side, and when the time comes to the council's public trial, she uses her "illusion" ability to help Fengyu rescue Captain Morgan.
The importance of the two girls in the rescue operation is no less than Fengyu, and without any of them, this trip will be in vain.
Luo Yunxi's task is very heavy, she must rush to force the "Typhoon" into the orbit of Tianjing Star before the end of the parliamentary trial, and she must not attract the attention of the Tianjing garrison, otherwise it will interfere with Fengyu's rescue operation on the surface of Tianjing.
There's only one way to do that, and that's to fly in optical invisibility. If it is scattered with high concentrations of R particles in other star fields, it will still be targeted, but it will not be the capital of the New Asian Republic, Xingtianjing. This is because the concentration of R particles here is the highest in the world.
Things have to start with the UAC war of aggression that year, when the New Asian Republic was the most down, it had been beaten to the TD1 star field at the doorstep, and it was only a little bit close to the fall of Kyoto.
Although the UAC invaders were eventually repulsed, from then on, the UAC and New Asia waged a war without gunpowder in the Tianjing Star Field—a spy war!
In order to curb the activities of UAC espionage, the Tianjing Star Field has implemented the strictest air traffic control, and no foreign ships are allowed to cross the orbit of the night star, even the commercial ships of the big conglomerates. Within the Night Star orbit, only the Tianjing Garrison and state-run interstellar passenger and cargo flights can enter.
At the same time, in order to limit the use of electronic and electromagnetic equipment by spies to snoop, the entire inner airspace of the Tianjing Circle is scattered with rich R-particles. In this way, the high-concentration R particles scattered by a small spacecraft like the Typhoon for optical stealth are like pouring a glass of concentrated salt water into the sea for the entire airspace, although it is even saltier, but who knows?
Although high-power energy sensors can also detect high concentrations of R particles in the area where the Typhoon is located, such fluctuations are normal. If the concentration of R particles during the optical invisibility of the "Typhoon" is compared to a dark cloud, then the normal star field is in the daytime, and the dark clouds float by at a glance; The Tianjing Star Field is dark night, and as long as the dark clouds don't just block the moonlight, no one will notice that it has come.
At this time, the "Typhoon" was in the orbit of the night star, and the night star was facing Tianyang and Tianjing from a distance of more than 5 astronomical units from each other. If you go directly to optical stealth and fly to Tianjing in a regular way, it will take a month to fly, and Fengyu and Captain Morgan will die.
Fortunately, they had studied this problem in advance and found a solution. When Luo Yunxi arrived at the Tianjing Distribution Center located in Nightguard L4, he could apply to the Air Traffic Administration for the departure permit of the "Typhoon", and he applied to leave the Tianjing Star Field.
This is the easiest and fastest license to apply for. Because the "Typhoon" did not carry any cargo, and did not even need to be boarded for inspection, the Tianjing Distribution Center quickly approved the application.
Speaking of which, we must mention the distribution of space cities in the Tianjing Star Field. All those who have been here will find a problem, the distribution of functional space cities in the Tianjing Star Domain is extremely unreasonable.
As the capital star field, the political and economic center of the new Asian Republic, the space city here should be centered on shipping and commerce. But what are the best Lagrange points?
Tianjing L4 and L5 are just military fortresses, after all, there was only one habitable planet left in the New Asian Republic. But the fifth planet, Mars L5, has such a good golden Lagrange point, it should be set up as a CBD space city like Dijing, how can a Tianhuo mechanical city be built.
Further on, Lanthanum on the sixth planet is simply the metal processing industry, and the seventh planet is the shipyard and aviation school, and all the Lagrange points that can carry large space cities are occupied by the military manufacturing industry. So much so that such an important Tianjing distribution center can only be placed in Yeweisan, in addition, the CBD and customs are arranged on the Lagrange point of the satellite of the night star.
Speaking of which, it was the war of the year. Admiral Goering's UAC New Asia System Front has reached its doorstep, and Tianjing, as the last habitable planet of the New Asian Republic, cannot afford to lose. Therefore, the original government did not hesitate to put the shipyard for the production of warships in the night star, and the factory for the production of mobile suits in the sky Mars. As a result, there is now the Nightstar Shipyard and the Skyfire Machinery City.
In recent years, there have also been calls for the relocation of these two military industrial enterprises, as well as the mining and metal processing industries of Lanthanum, to free up more Lagrange points for the construction of a functional space city in the capital. However, this kind of voice can't make waves at all, as a big consortium that controls the country's economic lifeline and political direction, since it has occupied such a good position, it is certainly impossible for them to give it up.
What's more, Tianhuo Machinery City belongs to Xia's Seiko, and it is impossible for the core members of this NO to give up this space city that is geographically extremely close to Tianjing Star. If one day no one is ready to attack the New Asian Republic, as long as you secretly send a group of pilots over, you can use the Fire Machinery City as a base to directly attack the Tianjing garrison fleet and the surface of Tianjing.
Moreover, with the change in the relative position caused by the rotation of Tianjing Star and Tianmars, there is a cumulative period of two months every year, and the position of Tianhuo Machinery City is closer to the position of Tianjing Star than the "Tianjing Eyes". For this alone, its strategic value is much higher than its economic value.
I don't know how the ordinary people of New Asia will feel after knowing this, as long as Tianhuo Machinery City is in the hands of Xia Seiko, their proud "Tianjing Eyes" will not be able to protect them at all.
This is the greatest black humor of the New Asian Republic.
Having said that, the Typhoon departed from the Nightwatch L4, and after leaving the orbit of the Night Star, it entered the curvature flight in the designated acceleration area. Normally, the business ship would not exit the curvature flight until it was adjacent to the Kuiper Belt, slowing down into the main channel. However, the "Typhoon" did not really want to leave, but secretly deviated from the course halfway through, turned off the third-generation jump engine, and withdrew from the curvature flight.
A few minutes later, the concentration of R particles rose to the standard of optical invisibility, and the "Typhoon", which was traveling at a speed of more than 10,000 kilometers per hour, was covered by a shadow area, so it began to turn. Due to the shutdown of the jump engine, the Typhoon will only slow down from this point on, but will not be able to pick up speed, and will become slower and slower as the distance and time of the voyage increases. But it doesn't matter much, as long as you can maintain an average speed of 3,000 km/s for 4 days, you can get close to Tianjing Star on the day of the parliamentary trial.
And for Typhoon, the greatest danger will begin after crossing the orbit of Celestial Mars. If the airspace outside the orbit of Mars is a night when dark clouds cannot be seen, then the area within the orbit of Mars is the dawn of the twilight, and with a stricter monitoring system, the "Typhoon" will have nothing to hide.
However, the orbit of Tianmars is only 0.5 astronomical units larger than the diameter of Tianjing's orbit, and as long as the "Typhoon" can maintain a speed of 10,000 kilometers per second, it will be able to reach Tianjing in two hours. And in such a short period of time, even if the Tianjing Garrison discovered the shadow area that suddenly appeared, it would not have time to stop it from approaching, unless the fleet commander dared to fly in curvature in the area.
Taking a step back, even if the commander of the Tianjing Garrison Fleet really applied for permission to fly curvature within the orbit of Mars, it would still be very difficult to sink a small spaceship in an optically invisible state.
Overall, this thing is very operable, and the chance of success is at least 90%.
It may seem easy to say that the defense system of the capital area of the new Asian republic is unusually weak, but this is not the case.
If the optical invisibility is a battleship the size of the "Tempest", it will be discovered long before entering the orbit of the night star, and attract the attack of the Tianjing garrison, and there is no chance to cross the orbit of Mars.
In addition, it is a small UAC reconnaissance ship that optically stealth into the Tianjing star field, assuming that it is lucky, the route it chooses is unimpeded, and then it flies all the way to the orbit of Tianmars before it is discovered. So may I ask, what can this reconnaissance ship do without the awakened person with the ability to release mental power on board?
That is, a small spaceship like the "Typhoon" is easy to be ignored in a state of optical invisibility, that is, an awakened captain like Luo Yunxi can drive a spaceship normally in this state, and it is impossible for others to achieve it if they are replaced by other ships.
But for the rescue operation, the most difficult part is not how the "Typhoon" gets close to Tianjing, but how Fengyu saves people and how to take Captain Morgan away after rescuing him.
Regarding saving people, this is Monica's mission, and only she has the ability to take Captain Morgan away in full view. Everyone thinks that as long as Monica activates the "illusion" ability to make the people around her ignore Captain Morgan, she can create the illusion that people are missing.
But keep in mind that her abilities can only deceive the eye, but not the imaging equipment. On the day of the parliamentary trial, the news media in Tianjing will definitely broadcast live, and Captain Morgan will have nothing to hide from on the live screen. Even if Monica can fool the people around her, she can't fool the eyes staring at the live broadcast screen.
In other words, if you can't distract the media with something more eye-catching, Monica's little trick is nowhere to be found.
And what do you do to attract attention? It's nothing more than a battle between two ace pilots!
