Chapter 0291: The First Space Jump
The powertrain needs to be strengthened.
Weapon systems need to be strengthened.
The shield system needs to be strengthened.
All enhancements require Naqoura energy......
It is not the main thing.
However, it is indispensable.
Without it, the energy output of a fusion reactor would be reduced by more than 30.
Without it, the weapon system will also have more than 30 less power.
The most serious is the energy shield. Drop more than 50.
Its existence has made the capabilities of starships extremely variable, and countless tactics have been spawned as a result.
Anyone in the know knows exactly what the opponent's ship is. These are fixed. There is no way to keep it secret.
However, Naqoura energy is volatile and unpredictable.
No one knows when it will erupt. And what is the strength of the outbreak.
Liu Zhenbei himself is the most typical example.
All his information, others already have all the mastery.
Including the color of the bottoms he was wearing, his opponent was already clear.
But it didn't work.
No matter how much you know, it doesn't matter.
Because you can't measure how much Nagura energy Liu Zhenbei can inspire.
That's the biggest variable.
People are so.
The same goes for starships.
For mech troops, tactics are very limited.
After all, subject to the ground, it can only move in two dimensions. At most, add the sky and the underground, that is, three dimensions. That's the limit.
However, for starships, strategy and tactics are almost limitless.
Because, the battlefield is almost infinite.
Until now, humanity has not discovered where the edge of the universe is.
The more we explore outward, the more we feel the vastness of the universe and the more we feel the insignificance of human beings.
For military strategists, interstellar warfare is a science with no end to research. The study of strategy and tactics is never endless.
In this regard, Liu Zhenbei is a completely blank slate.
It's a pity that Qin Shuying is almost a blank slate.
This female captain, who was temporarily arrested by Liu Zhenbei, obviously did not have any actual combat experience.
Fortunately, as a communications officer, she also knows a little bit about the basic operation of battleships.
At least, there are no problems with automatic flight.
The light brain is fully competent.
"Come on!"
"Okay."
Qin Shuying slowly entered the command.
The light brain responds quickly.
Hasten.
Slow acceleration.
Battleships move across the vast starry sky.
The speed gradually increases to one-thousandth of the speed of light.
This is the standard speed of a starship. That's about the equivalent of more than Mach 8,800.
In absolute terms, this is very fast. That's 300 kilometers per second. That is, in one second, three hundred kilometers have been moved.
However, the vast universe is boundless, and the distance between planets is almost always calculated in light years. Only one thousandth of the speed of light can be reached in the Year of the Monkey! Therefore, this kind of simple flight is almost useless. That is, when it is a battle, it is only used when it is necessary to gradually advance the battle line.
Space Jump must be activated.
Set Coordinates.
"Five-axis coordinate loading...... The coordinates were loaded successfully. ”
"Search for Thorn Star...... The search for Thorn Star was successful. ”
"Sure."
"Sure."
"You've set your destination: Thorn Row."
"Target distance: 28,372 light years."
"Space Jump will be automatically activated. Estimated time of arrival: 2 hours later. ”
"Please note that during the space jump, all creatures will be in a state of dizziness for a short time. Once the space jump ends, the stun will be automatically removed. ”
"Please make sure again, if you want to enable Space Jump."
The tips for the light brain are detailed.
Even a rookie like Qin Shuying can operate it.
Liu Zhenbei was very well-behaved, just sitting next to him and watching Qin Shuying's operation, and he definitely didn't interfere indiscriminately.
Are you sure.
Again, sure.
"The space jump is about to begin."
"Attention all crew members. The space jump will start after five minutes. ”
"Attention all crew members. Space jumps will start after three minutes. ”
"Attention all crew members. Space jumps will start after one minute. ”
The light brain emits a constant alarm.
The sirens are getting shorter and shorter, and they are getting more and more urgent.
Liu Zhenbei's heart couldn't help but get nervous.
This is my first space jump!
This is a veritable maiden voyage!
The speed of the starship began to jump.
One hundredth of the speed of light!
One-tenth the speed of light!
Velocity of light!
Finally, the instantaneous speed of the battleship surpassed the speed of light......
The wormhole opens.
Liu Zhenbei's consciousness suddenly dizzy.
It's as if I fell asleep suddenly. And then nothing is known.
When I woke up, I hurriedly turned my head to look at the time.
Good guys, atomic clock on the wall, it's been two hours.
Look outside, the destroyer has already appeared in the vicinity of the star Thorn.
Directly ahead, a yellow-brown planet is the Thorn Star.
Thorn is a planet with very harsh conditions. Not very suitable for human habitation. However, it is relatively rich in resources. Therefore, it was developed relatively early.
Purely in terms of the time of development, the Thorn Planet is much earlier than the Horn Row Star. More than 30 years after the arrival of the planet, humans began to officially land on the planet. Previous expeditions have shown that Horn Luo has no resources worth mentioning. Naturally, they did not join the development ranks. It was only later that immigrants arrived, and Jiaoluo Xing developed.
In terms of importance, the star is much more important than the horned star. Because Thorn Ra has resources.
"Mainly lanthanum and cesium." Qin Shuying said intentionally or unintentionally, "These two metals are very important for industrial production. ”
Lanthanum-139 is an important raw material for the manufacture of various weapons.
For example, the barrel of the Red Devil Tiger Mecha's triple 406mm energy cannon requires the use of Lanthanum-139.
The radioactive lanthanum-138 is mainly used to make the barrel of the interstellar railgun.
Although it is said that in the vast cosmic starry sky, the amount of lanthanum is not small. However, because the demand is also very large, the mining and refining of lanthanum ore is still very important.
Cesium is also an important metal raw material widely used in the production of weapons. It is the basis for the creation of all particle weapons. Including all the particle cannons, proton cannons, neutron cannons, ion cannons, etc. As long as it involves microscopic particles, cesium is basically used.
The main source of cesium is cesium garnet. It just so happens that there are several large mines containing cesium garnet on the star of Thorn. This is also the reason why several surrounding countries are desperately grabbing it. It's a pity that there is no share of the Tang River Empire. Because the Tang River Empire no longer has the ability to grab food.
"Now, we import large quantities of cesium and lanthanum from the Quentin Empire every year." Qin Shuying said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Huh." Liu Zhenbei was noncommittal.
Want to hit my mind again?
I'm not free labor!
Want cesium and lanthanum?
Okay!
Be sincere!
