Chapter 198: Starship
This is Tang Lang's first time on a starship.
Except for the white-haired uncle Qiu Huiyuan and the intelligence officer Liao Shaoqian on another frigate, Tang Lang and Qin Chong and other soldiers, including the people of the Federation, were placed in a large transport ship that did not descend into the atmosphere of Lafite.
The degree of technological development in the next thousands of years amazed the primitive "barbarians". The gravity-like technology in the starship is very mature, first adjust to the gravity of Lafite, and then add it to the standard gravity of the capital administrative star after everyone gradually adapts, which will not make anyone uncomfortable.
There is so much space on the transport, there is even a garden and a cafΓ©, sit on the soft seats, brew a cup of fragrant coffee, through the porthole, you can see hundreds of millions of stars glide before your eyes, the starry sky is so beautiful that you can almost stop breathing. The so-called facing the sea, the spring flowers are blooming, in front of such a scenery, it is simply weak.
It should be said that facing the galaxy, I would rather be eternal.
The captain of the transport ship is a handsome 40-year-old man with thick black hair, and the three gold stars on the sky-blue standard military uniform make him extremely heroic, but he is not arrogant at all, but he is very polite to this group of soldiers who have fought hard for the rest of their lives, and arranged a separate cabin for everyone and invited Qin Chong, Tang Lang and others to visit the bridge, so that Tang Lang could see the starry sky he was in from a larger perspective through the huge transparent material curtain wall for the first time.
When he saw a huge meteorite quickly from far and near, as if it was about to collide head-on, the coercion that rushed to his face, even if he was as calm as Tang Lang, he couldn't help but change color slightly, even if he knew that this modern starry sky warship would never kill itself like that.
The next moment, the huge transport ship with a length of 2,200 meters, which was only slightly smaller than the mother ship in the fleet, drew a beautiful arc and narrowly swept through the bottom of the meteorite with a diameter of at least 5 kilometers.
"Don't worry! Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why the starship can gradually increase its speed to approach the speed of light is that in addition to the main factor of the continuous improvement of engine power, the more important point is that the "eyes" of the starship can see farther, on the already fixed route, the starship can "see" the starry sky scene millions of kilometers away tens of seconds in advance, and after the calculation of the central brain of the starship, the safest flight path is obtained. At least, so far, there have been few incidents of starships being destroyed by meteorites, and it is definitely much safer than driving a flying car on land. The captain of the colonel introduced the science to these "soil buns", with a little pride in his words.
Of course, everyone understands what he means, and it can't be said to be showy, but the temptation is definitely there, and it's not good, this big meteorite is a specially arranged subject. I'm afraid he just wants to tell these soldiers who have been on the surface of the planet for a long time that the starship is safe, come on! Look at how cool we are here, you can also taste coffee and watch the bright stars of hundreds of millions of stars.
The captains of the 2nd Fleet really put their hearts into it! At least, Tang Lang saw several eyes that were moved. This dry goods are much stronger than the dry grinding on the ground a day ago.
But there are also people who like to be more serious. The sergeant named Lao Bang was one of them.
"Sir, if you miscalculate, I mean if the starship's central brain is distracted at that time, or if the meteorite is not so big and you just don't see it, what should I do?" The old blast asked the group of starship officers standing on the bridge and laughed.
This question is really asked, it's too old-fashioned.
"Haha! Okay, let's assume that what you say is true. Then I'll show you what to see. The colonel smiled and ordered: "Li signaled all members to pay attention, and after 20 seconds, the whole ship will start the anti-collision exercise." The communications officer reports to the commander of the detachment. β
"Yes!"
With the order, the officers and men on the bridge who were not in their seats approached the bulkhead and held the fixation that could hold them in place, and as they pressed a button on the belt of their combat suits, the combat boots under their feet flashed red.
"What do you mean?" Lao Bang was a little dumbfounded.
"Stupid! I'm going to hit a meteorite by you. Ye Xiaozhou glared angrily at the problematic old explosion, and grabbed a handrail beside him as soon as he turned around.
"Damn, I'm just kidding." Lao Bang was a little dumbfounded.
How did he know that the guys on these starships were so fierce that they would use real guys to make a demonstration if they didn't agree with each other. Hitting a meteorite at a speed of more than 50,000 kilometers is a bit painful just thinking about it.
"My Li signal is the latest C55A-class transport ship commissioned by the Federation five years ago, which can be loaded with three fully formed mecha divisions, the energy shield level is twelve, the armor level is ten, and the bow is equipped with a ramming blade with a thickness of up to 200 meters and a hardness of sixteenγγγγγγ Captain Shi Shiran sat in the captain's seat, confidently introducing the performance of his transport ship to the mecha warriors who were still standing there.
"Nima!" Now even Tang Lang's crotch is a little melancholy.
With a diameter of 1,000 meters, it is a 1,000-meter-high mountain! When you think of crashing into a mountain while sitting on a "plane" that is many times faster than a bullet, and the commander is still proudly saying that it is theoretically feasible, do you want to hit him?
Anyway, Tang Lang thought very much about it at that time, especially when he said: "Of course, in fact, we haven't operated like this yet." ".
"Sir, a giant meteorite was found 500,000 kilometers ahead, and it hit γγγγγγγ ten seconds later"
"Ohγγγγγγ" The Captain nodded noncommittally.
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Sevenγγγγγγ"
With the voice of the major's communications officer, the mecha warriors involuntarily clenched the handrail in front of them, and their faces tensed.
Data on the virtual screen rising in front showed that the meteorite was 800 meters in diameter, which was exactly within the range that Captain Commander had said. However, that's really big for a mother! Mechists who have become accustomed to using objects on land as references have the urge to sweat.
The old exploding grimace didn't dare to look at the angry gazes cast by his colleagues, the combat boots on the feet of the starship soldiers had a gravity increase system that could hold them firmly to the floor, and they didn't. It may not be possible to wait for the ship to be destroyed and killed, but if it is knocked to the ground, it will be a shame.
β3γγγγγγβ
"Fire!" With a soft roar from the Captain Colonel.
The hull of the ship shook slightly, and the two pillars of light before the bow of the ship suddenly blasted out, and in the next second, the meteorite that had become larger and larger was instantly smashed into pieces, and the bridge was slightly dark, and the curtain wall of the giant transparent material was covered with a thick layer of armor plates, and then, there was a subtle crackling sound, and the hull shook slightly, until the abnormal sound was completely eliminated, and finally returned to normal.
Captain Colonel turned to a group of mechs with sore eggs written all over their faces: "Oh! I forgot to tell you that federal property must not be easily damaged, not even a single armor plate! In the case of such a big one, and it can't be avoided, the two main guns installed on this ship can kill it. β
"By the way, there is also the problem of the central intellectual brain wandering that you just mentioned." The captain snapped his fingers with a treacherous smile on his face. "Little Star, what would you think about this?"
"Commander, I'll teach anyone who underestimates me a lesson to remember." The cold voice of the central brain came.
The next moment, a microcurrent passed through the floor and rushed straight to the old explosion's heavenly inspiration, and then, after an indescribable "numb" experience, the old explosion really became the old explosion, and he deliberately left a fashionable hairstyle that was slightly longer than that of ordinary soldiers, and the ridges were separated from each other, and the head exploded.
"How? Veteran, exciting or not! Do you want to come to the ship and have some fun? Doubles as a hairstyle, huh? The handsome colonel smiled, like a smiling old fox.
"Come, must come! I'm going to get on the starship, and I'm going to come if I don't get promoted. "Lao Bang has become smarter this time, and he immediately agreed without a word.
There was laughter all around.
It has to be said that it is much easier for the soldiers to get along with each other, especially when there is a captain of a colonel who does not have many shelves. It not only blends the atmosphere but also shortens the distance.
Perhaps because the main force of the 2nd Fleet was cruising on the border of the three-star domain, the detachment that escorted the people of Lafite Star back was far from being as desperate as when they came, and even had a taste of leisurely sightseeing, Tang Lang also had the opportunity to further understand the power of the most powerful weapon under this starry sky----- starship.
Although the "Li Xin" they sat on was only a transport ship, it had two large-caliber ion guns with an effective range of 4 light seconds as the main guns in the bow of the ship, and 20 electromagnetic guns with the same range of 4 light seconds as secondary guns, and the hull had the firepower of a total of 208 spherical energy cannons of different sizes with different effective ranges.
In fact, the overall cuboid shape and four wheels are the appearance of the ancient blue star armored car "Li Xin" belongs to the latest C55 battleship series in service in the Southwest Federation, based on the 18th Fleet of the Southwest Federation and the 6th Guards Fleet of the Jeppen Empire encountered in the First Battle of Shanghai and Star a hundred years ago, although the 18th Fleet finally defeated the incoming enemy at the cost of 70% of the 18th fleet's battle losses, but the four transport ships with 12 mecha divisions and more than 50,000 elites became the dust of the universe without firing a single shot, which is an unspeakable pain for the Supreme Command of the Federation.
How to make the transport ship have stronger survivability has been the focus of the Federation's research and development of starships for decades, and even abandoned the aesthetic views of the Chinese people for this reason, and finally designed the Federation's latest C55 series starships as a "stupid and coarse" image.
In fact, in the cosmic vacuum, there is no resistance of air, let alone a rectangular block, even if it is an umbrella, as long as it is given an engine, it can fly tens of thousands of kilometers per second.
The length, width and height of the C55A-class transport ships have reached an exaggerated 2,200 meters, 500 meters, and 580 meters respectively, an increase of more than 20 percent compared with the transport ships of a hundred years ago, but the transportation capacity has not increased much. The Southwest Federal Military Industry Department, which has invested almost a bit of "sickness" in protection and firepower, is loaded with armor no less than that of heavy cruisers and energy cannons of more than two frigates, and the two main engines installed in the stern of the hull have reached half the power of the fleet's core mothership.
In other words, this kind of transport landing ship, which was supposed to carry land combat troops, has become a fire output support ship. The exaggerated hull and heavy armor, as well as the design and installation of various high-energy weapons, raise the cost of a transport ship to almost the cost of a mothership.
A mothership can carry more than 800 starry fighters of various types and 100 air combat mechas, which is self-evident for the entire fleet. Once the C55A series of transport ships came out, even its loading, firepower and defense capabilities could be called excellent, but the cost performance was so low that it was outrageous, and it naturally became the object of ridicule from all countries in the starry sky.
However, the Southwest Federal Federation still stubbornly invested heavily in the construction of 15 ships, respectively into the ten major fleets and the fleets of the three major military regions, but the construction cost is really high, after the construction of 15 ships, can only choose to temporarily shelve the follow-up construction plan.
Tang Lang finally understood why the captain of the colonel was so nervous, it turned out that in this detachment, his transport ship, which originally seemed to be the most deserving of protection, turned out to be the most combat-effective starship, even if it was placed in the entire 2nd Fleet, it was also the existence of the top five in terms of comprehensive combat power.
This is similar to building a transport landing ship at the cost of an aircraft carrier on the Ancient Blue Star, I have to say, this is really a painful setting, but it is also a really heartwarming design. Especially for the mecha troops who are nervous to enter this giant ship and arrive on the battlefield.
Tang Lang, for the chief of the Federal Military Affairs Department who only existed in rumors, he had a little more admiration and curiosity, so what kind of man was he?
At that moment, Tang Lang dared to guarantee that he definitely didn't think about the eldest girl in the family, God knows!
