Chapter 493: Special Destroyer

Abu is an active-duty soldier of the Blue Star Civilization and a highly skilled major officer. In the fleet of the Blue Star civilization, Abu is a small famous warship pilot, and even many colleagues of the Earth civilization have heard of Abu's name.

Abe has been serving in the fleet for 50 years, and in these 50 years, Abu has piloted almost all types of spaceships, warships, and of course, all kinds of shuttles.

With the development of science and technology to the present level, spaceships or warships have a complete intelligent brain system, and in the complex situation of space, the intelligent brain system will respond faster and more accurately than the human brain, which is the progress of science and technology, and it is also the inevitable trend of the development of cosmic civilization. However, after all, the brain is the brain, its logic and reaction speed are beyond people's expectations, but the judgment from the overall situation and the ability to adapt to some special situations are not as good as the human brain, this is the defect of the brain, this defect is not a disadvantage in normal astronautics, the advantage of the brain can also greatly reduce the burden of the navigator, but on the battlefield, this defect will be infinitely magnified.

To put it simply, the brain is just a machine, a program, that only reacts when it is given data, which is characteristic of the brain. For example, when in space travel, the brain scan finds that there is an asteroid before the voyage, then the brain will calculate according to the speed, angle, direction, etc. of the asteroid in a very short time, plus the spacecraft's own data, and then get the result of whether the spacecraft will collide with the asteroid.

If the answer is that there will be an intersection, the brain system will react at the first time, and adjust the ship's course or speed to avoid the intersection of the two. This is the judgment and reaction of the intelligent brain in this situation, and such judgment and reaction ability is extremely fast and theoretically sufficient to deal with.

But the problem is on the battlefield. Especially on the battlefield of the Andromeda galaxy now, the wisdom brain is not enough, because the opponent's attack is almost silent, in the previous few contacts, the earth civilization and the blue star civilization found that once the other party launched an attack on their own warship, then this attack is almost in the blink of an eye, and what is even worse is that the opponent's attack can completely penetrate the protective shield of the battleship. Inflict direct damage to the battleship and its crew.

In this case, it is people's advance judgment that comes faster than the brain's reaction, and some battleship commanders who have experienced a lot of battles often manipulate the battleship to avoid it in advance before the brain reacts when they perceive a hunch, and they can avoid the opponent's attack. This may be the sixth sense of people, this kind of premonition honed in the war is something that the cold intelligent brain cannot have, unless the intelligent brain can directly evolve into intelligent life, that is, an intelligent life like Su Li, then it will reach such a level after years of growth.

Face the current situation. Shuanghuan Company has also been looking for ways to deal with it, and finally made targeted adjustments. On the one hand, it began to strengthen the ability of warship commanders, including pilots, to predict in advance, and use this method to make up for the lack of intelligent brains. On the other hand, the Shuanghuan Company began to build new small warships in Space City, which were much smaller than the regular warships of the current Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization, and the staffing was also much reduced.

From the point of view of a battleship, the larger the ship, the stronger its combat effectiveness. And the stronger its defenses are, too. Whether it is the Earth civilization or the Blue Star civilization, or even other cosmic civilizations, this is basically the case. Ships of all kinds are basically the same size, and some of the more special warships will be built to meet the needs of long-distance voyages and various situations.

The size of the battleship was huge, and its staffing increased accordingly. Generally speaking, the crew of a capital battleship is about 30 to 50 people, and some larger capital battleships have nearly 100 personnel. As for flagships like Lynch, because of the presence of the command, the battleship has a standing staff of more than 170 people, reaching a figure of nearly 200 or so.

Another advantage of the large size of the battleship is that it can set up an ecological balance system inside the battleship. This is able to meet the various needs of the crew of a warship during long periods of space. However, there is no problem with such a warship in an ordinary war, whether it is a war between the Earth civilization and the Gaia civilization, or a war between other cosmic civilizations, both sides use such a warship, but in the current situation, such a warship has become a big problem, and it is these problems that force the Shuanghuan Company to make adjustments, so as to design and manufacture the small warship that Abu is now piloting.

The problem is mainly reflected in several points, one of which is that the target of the battleship is large, and it is easy to be targeted by the opponent in a battle with the opponent and launch an attack. Second, there are quite a few crew members of a huge battleship, and once a battleship is destroyed, it is very difficult for the officers and men of the entire battleship to be spared. You must know that the opponent's attack is an ability to directly cut space, this ability is not able to resist the current earth civilization and the blue star civilization, and the space cutting will cause the battleship to be damaged and destroyed in an instant, and it is difficult for the crew inside to escape even if there is a life-saving system.

In space, if a person is thrown into space alone, then his survival time is very short. Even if you wear a spacesuit and float in space, it is not absolutely safe, and after a long time, all kinds of cosmic particles everywhere in the universe will break through the protection of the spacesuit, and more importantly, once you lose the protection of the battleship on the battlefield, then the hope of survival is extremely small.

In several battles, the warships of the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization were destroyed one after another, and none of the crews of those destroyed battleships survived and all of them were killed. This kind of damage is extremely serious for both the Earth civilization and the Blue Star civilization, and these officers and soldiers are the precious wealth of the two civilizations.

In this way, the huge battleship becomes a living coffin, and those who are in the battleship will face the consequences of ten deaths. In that case, then why use such a huge warship to fight with the other party? Wouldn't it be more appropriate in terms of personnel losses if the switch to a smaller warship with fewer personnel?

It is for this reason that a small warship codenamed Special Destroyer was born, which is much smaller than ordinary warships, its length is only sixteen meters, its width is about five meters, and it is shaped like a slender cigar. Compared to the Space Shuttle, the Special Destroyer is slightly larger. But compared to the huge warship, it was much smaller.

The crew of a special destroyer is set at five, but in practice there are generally only three people when performing tasks, one captain, one communicator, and one is a fire controller. Of course. Two more people can be added if needed. It does not have the ecological balance system that warships possess, nor does it even have an artificial gravity system, and its attitude of flying inside it is almost similar to that of the space shuttle in the later stage of the primitive civilization of the Earth civilization.

Of course, in terms of technology, the special fighter ship is far more powerful than the space rockets and space shuttles of the earth civilization in those years, and its engine alone is not ordinary. Despite the small size of this special destroyer, it has a powerful engine that allows it to sail in the universe at a speed no less than that of an ordinary warship, and even has the ability to fly in curvature.

Judging by other equipment. Special destroyers are also equipped with a warship-like brain system, which can assist the crew in various judgments and autonomous navigation. In addition, its attack power is not weak, not only has a variety of powerful particle weapons and laser weapons, but also can launch small dark matter bombs. Such an attack strength can even compete with ordinary warships, of course, it is not without shortcomings, and the shortcomings of special fighters are also very obvious, as mentioned before, there is no artificial gravity system and ecological balance system. Without these two things, special destroyers will not be able to sail in space for a long time. Its endurance is very weak, according to the design calculation, the crew's navigation and supply in the universe completely depends on the consumption of materials carried on the ship, that is, when the supplies that can be supplied for about a month are consumed, then the special fighter ship will not return to the sea, and the people on it will either starve to death or suffocate after consuming oxygen.

Besides. Special Destroyers do not have the ship's energy shield, which greatly weakens its defenses in the universe. Not to mention anything else, the impact of a meteorite can destroy a special destroyer.

Of course, the energy shield is not used, and that is because scientists have carefully considered it when designing and building this special destroyer. In view of the current situation, even if the special destroyer is equipped with an energy shield, it will not help, because this energy shield is not only unable to defend against the opponent's attack, but also because of its reasons, it will affect the consumption of carrying energy, and the output of energy will also affect the power of the engine, thus reducing its sailing speed.

Besides, the size of the special destroyer is not large, the size is even smaller and exquisite, and the intelligent brain system is equipped, so it is still very safe to sail in space. More importantly, this kind of warship mainly performs cruise and fighter missions, which is somewhat similar to the fighters of the late stage of the primitive civilization of the previous earth civilization.

In addition to these shortcomings, its advantages are also obvious, it is small and easy to build, and it is completely comparable to ordinary warships in terms of combat effectiveness, even if it is destroyed, the loss of personnel is not very large...... Anyway, these benefits led to the emergence of this strange warship, and Abu was one of the first people to be selected to pilot this special destroyer.

"It's an awkward position." In the special destroyer numbered 010, the fire controller Sean floated in the space inside the ship, his limbs changed the direction of his body as if swimming, and finally he turned around, and then jumped close to his seat by the reaction force of the bulkhead, but the strength was a little greater, and Sean hurriedly grabbed the handle of the bulkhead, so he didn't let himself hit his head.

"It's good to get used to it, and I think this environment is quite interesting." Correspondent Raul couldn't help but laugh when he saw Sean like this, but he still comforted Sean.

"How used to it? Hell knows who made this thing, and you know how uncomfortable it was when I went to the bathroom a few hours ago, it felt like a pair of hands were pulled out and then someone was poking ...... with a stick. ”

Sean gestured and said, his words made Raul's heart sick: "Hey! What are you talking about? I haven't eaten yet! ”

Raul's appearance of throwing up made Sean laugh with joy, and he repeatedly said sorry while fixing himself in the chair.

Sean and Raul are the crew members of the 010 ship, and their captain is Abu. While the two guys were laughing and joking, Abu was watching the route in front of him intently. Due to the fact that most of the in-board facilities of special destroyers have been simplified, ordinary three-dimensional images have also been eliminated, but scientists have adopted an alternative method, which is a holographic helmet. During the voyage, the crew can wear this helmet as needed, and then judge and observe from the first perspective with the assistance of the intelligent brain system. Now, Abu is wearing a holographic helmet and carefully watching the route.

This is the first mission of Abu's special destroyer, and it is also the first mission since this type of warship was built.

Although their special destroyer number is 010 Fleet, in fact, 010 is the command ship of the first squad composed of five special destroyers, and not far from them, there are four other special destroyers cruising according to the schedule.

According to the plan, their cruise time was not long, only about fifteen days in total. After leaving Space City, the special destroyer quickly entered the curvature flight and headed for the direction of the defensive circle. When they reached the position of the defensive circle, they broke out of the curvature and circled along the predetermined cruising range before returning to the starting point.

The whole task may seem simple, but it's actually not simple. This mission is not only to verify the cruising capability of the special destroyer, but also to directly engage the opponent if they encounter the opponent during the cruise, in order to determine the performance of the special destroyer in a formal engagement.

From this point of view, Abu's task is not easy, and it is even very dangerous. But Abu didn't care at all, as an excellent astronaut and soldier, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and as a military officer who had participated in the design of this warship, Abu believed in his own judgment and ability, if the other party did not appear, it would be fine, once he appeared, he should not let his comrades who sacrificed their lives.

The curvature voyage has been completed, and now Abu and they are moving towards the preset cruising range, Abu is comparing the course and route on the other side, and on the other hand, he is also contacting the other four special destroyers, just when he has just contacted the other four special destroyers, a bright spot suddenly lights up in the cruising range, Abu was stunned suddenly, and then turned back to Sean and shouted at them: "There is a situation!"
