Chapter 364: Shotguns for Cannons

Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, and 20 days have passed in a blink of an eye. Under the patching of the SCV, the relay station is finally no longer clothed.

The repair of the zero-element transmission pipeline and the nuclear energy network has been completed, as has the completion of the exterior wall. After all, StarCraft Terran technology is lower than that of the Ipsi Dragon civilization, and even with Emma's full planning, it is still not very beautiful when viewed from a distance.

Leaving aside the broken rudder part of the relay station because it cannot be continued because the level is not up to it, the damaged area at 8 o'clock in the outer ring area has been repaired by SCV, just like an originally glamorous evening dress, but a coarse cloth patch is sewn on the buttocks.

Of course, although it is not very beautiful, Tang Fang is still very satisfied. For the average family, the more glamorous and beautiful a piece of clothing is, the more it will be shelved, and the more those clothes that are not very outstanding, the more it will be used as casual wear and worn on the body for many years. It doesn't matter if it's not good-looking, what he wants now is practicality.

After the SCV emergency repair, not only the outer wall of the relay station is connected, but there is no longer to endure the situation that the equipment inside the relay station is exposed to vacuum. The zero element of the relics is no longer leaked, so Tang Fang also specially took out 10 tons of zero element from the energy reserve of the Morningstar and injected it into the energy pool of the relay station. The "Omega-2" relay station is the basis for him to establish his own power, and he must not afford to lose.

On the other hand, after the completion of the nuclear network, the relay station's super-large fusion reactor resumed its operation, including the massive hydrogen and helium particles emitted by the Chaos Star and the "omega-2" that were released by the relay station's collection equipment and injected into the nuclear energy reactor. With the cooperation of Zero Element Energy, the 700-kilometer-long relay station is like a giant awakening from its sleep, opening a curtain of light, and the shield system is finally back in operation.

There is more to be happy about. In the process of salvaging the wreckage of the battleship, "Cupid" restored two sets of high-tech products suitable for the Morningstar.

One, an array of antimatter-assisted thrusters. This was found on the wreckage of a special type of frigate, which, according to analysis from Cupid, was classified as an antimatter device after the zero element supply was turned on. The conversion equipment of the thruster converts the zero element into positive and negative protons, and through the annihilation reaction between the two, the charged meson is obtained, which is then compressed and accelerated in the multi-effect field, and finally injected by the tail nozzle.

Because the muning velocity of the meson is very high, it is compressed and re-accelerated by multiple effect fields, and the velocity is close to the speed of light when it is ejected from the nozzle. The large-density, almost light-speed meson eruption will give the battleship a very terrifying explosive power in an instant.

But. Due to the high energy consumption and the inability to use the reaction chamber carrying multiple effect fields at high frequency, this auxiliary thruster array is mostly used for auxiliary propulsion such as starting acceleration and fast steering.

Because it is a frigate-level ship equipment, the size is not large, and the transplantation process is very smooth. Before the refit, the Morningstar, as a Charles Federation's Lightning Python-class destroyer, was already known for its speed, but at this time, after installing antimatter-assisted thruster arrays on both wings, its explosive power and steering speed reached a jaw-dropping level. In the opinion of the Tang side. The current Morning Star is worthy of the name of the lightning python.

Two. Shaped Cannon. The Morningstar finally had a weapon that could be handled, a weapon that would allow a 200-meter-class destroyer to unleash the formidable attack power of a battleship. This is a weapon transplanted from the wreckage of the destroyer Ipsilon.

Actually, Tang Fang felt that the name of the Gathering Cannon was not very to his taste, and it was better to call it MINI Yamato Cannon more cordial. The reason for this is that the weapon works similarly to the Yamato cannon of the Terran battlecruiser in StarCraft, which compresses and imprisons nuclear energy and then launches it. Rely on high-heat particles to kill opponents.

From the perspective of operating principle, the shaped cannon, or Yamato cannon, is not much different from the plasma cannon. It's just that it's stronger in explosiveness, and it can best play the role of one blow.

But. The Yamato cannon utilizes a fusion reaction method. As for the shaped cannon, it was fusion nuclear energy on the Ipsi Dragon frigate, but on the Morningstar, it became fission nuclear energy.

The Ipsi Dragon frigate is not small in size, but it is really short and concise, golden, and the gun does not fall seventeen times a night, with the conversion efficiency of its fusion reactor, it is like a game to shoot eight or nine times a minute.

But it is such a person who sees people who love, flowers bloom, and the gods see the bewitching beauty who is also reincarnated, and he goes to the Morning Star, saying that it sounds good, that is called getting married, and saying that it is ugly, that is, a flower is inserted in the cow dung, well, it is still only the cow dung pulled by the old cow with diarrhea.

With Emma's efforts, the energy cannon was finally installed, and Tang Fang was also very powerful, and he had smashed an asteroid of more than 200 meters with one shot, if it was an ordinary cruiser, it would not be too much, and he would have to go back to his grandmother's house with one shot. The battleships were also in its hands.

However, there must be advantages and disadvantages, this thing is a pure on the outside, wild on the inside, a lustful woman, with the weak little body of the Morningstar power cabin fission reactor, she can't stand her maiden thirteen style at all, and it's not cool enough over there, so he's soft.

To put it simply, the Morningstar's fission nuclear reactor is not powerful enough to support modules such as the shaped cannon, propulsion system, and plasma shield at the same time.

While the Shaped Cannon is operating, the propulsion system, plasma shield, and shipstring railgun array will all go offline, and there will be a period of weakness after the Shaped Cannon attack ends. Of course, at this time, Tang Fang can also make a splash and switch the shield mode to a high-energy "universal shield", so as not to be caught by the opponent TIMING and overturn the Morning Star, but this always makes him feel uncomfortable, very unhappy.

After picking up the rags for so many days, he was stunned that he couldn't get a usable fusion reactor, which made him frustrated for several days, until the repair of the outer wall of the relay station was completed, and he had to force his irritability and start the voyage.

……

On this day, Tang Fang got up early in the morning, not that he became diligent, but that he had been busy salvaging the wreckage of the battleship for the past few days, neglecting to communicate with everyone.

When he finished washing up and put on his military uniform and came to the bridge, Grant was sitting on the sofa with a black face, and next to Joey had an expression of doing something wrong, and he didn't dare to speak with his head down.

Turning his head to look at the bridge. I found that most of the operators were not there, even if it was still early and it was berthed, and the bridge should not be unattended. Tang Fang turned his head to look at the two: "What's the matter?" ”

"Hmph." Grant glared at Joey angrily, "You say it yourself." ”

"I ...... I...... I ......" Joey opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time, stunned without saying a word. The face is almost red into a two-petaled monkey buttocks.

Tang Fang looked at Grant, and then at Joey: "Joey, you go get busy." ”

Seeing this scene, how could he still not understand the reason, it was Joey who was in trouble, and Grant was teaching him a lesson. Speaking of which, Joey is also one of the first people to follow him, and he is much younger than Walton, Churchill and others. It's just like Bai Hao and Roy. Children, there are a few people who don't like to get into trouble and make trouble, not to mention Bai Hao's little bastard, even Roy, a sullen country boy, sometimes makes a few messes.

I heard that he has been running to Valentine very diligently lately, and he always likes to help, and once he almost didn't burn all the old professor's eyebrows and mustaches. If Joey is in trouble, it makes sense.

"Hey." Joey was pardoned. He smiled at Grant and ran out of the bridge with a smoke on his waist.

"You......" Tang Fang shook his head: "To Bai Hao and Roy, that's really used to being spoiled everywhere, how did it get to your brother-in-law, so strict?" ”

"Don't mention it. Isn't this also very iron-clad and steel-in-the-art? The vice-captain's face finally softened a little.

"What the hell is going on? Move such a big liver fire. Tang Fang asked, walking to the circular multi-functional command platform in the center of the second floor of the bridge, and casually connected a PDA to the star map system.

At the mention of this, Grant's face changed, and he said angrily: "I've been strange for the past two days. That kid usually likes to brag and fart with that group of soldiers in the entertainment area when he is fine, why is he suddenly diligent these days, and he always loves to run to the bridge. ”

"I happened to wake up early today, come and have a look, guess what?" When he said this, Grant's face was a little strange, as if he hated iron but not steel, and seemed to be quite helpless, and there was a bit of embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" Tang Fang asked casually while inputting Emma's route set by referring to the dimensional lock distribution map into the star map.

"This guy...... He...... He actually got involved with Captain Yuffie. ”

Tang Fang was stunned for a moment, and after three or five seconds, he suddenly laughed, looked at Grant with a playful expression, and said, "Are you jealous?" Why do I feel sour, although Yu Fei said that the kid was two or three years older, but it was nothing, I don't believe that you didn't like a girl a few years older than you when you were seventeen or eighteen years old. ”

Grant's face flushed: "How can it be the same, in this form of war, he still has the heart to fall in love?" ”

Seeing that the transmission progress was fixed at 100%, Tang Fang unplugged the connection, walked up to Grant, and smiled: "Why not?" No matter how harsh the environment is, no matter how dark the world is, there is always something enough to warm people's hearts and support people to go on. Sometimes it's hope, sometimes it's hatred, sometimes it's love. It doesn't matter if society is dead, but we are still alive, the matter of Joey and Yufie, let it be, he has grown up, and it is time for you to let go, believe me, Serena will not blame you. ”

After speaking, Tang Fang patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and walked out of the bridge.

Since Zhou Ai swallowed the "snake gall", for fear of accidents, Claire moved in with her, who knew that Zhou Ai's love had been very stable for more than 20 days, and there was no vision in her body, nor was she like Tang Lin and Freya who had the ability to drive electricity.

After coming to the "Lost Land", he has been busy salvaging the wreckage of the battleship, and he didn't bother to ask about her physical condition, thinking that he would set sail to leave the "Omega-2" tomorrow, Tang Fang thought about coming to see her, and asked Linglong about her current situation by the way.

Zhou Ai's room is not far from the bridge, go up to the second floor and walk a short distance, walk to the door, press the doorbell casually, just a few breaths, with a "bang", the door opened, a gust of aroma hit, Claire appeared in front of him.

Probably because she had just taken a bath, the girl's long hair was wet and scattered over her shoulders. Through the collar of the shirt, you can see a little drop of water on the white skin, some of which are still uninteresting, and they wind all the way down into a shadow.

Claire was wiping her wet hair with a towel in one hand, and sorting out the hair nested in her shirt with the other, perhaps caused by the heat fumigation, her cheeks flushed with drunken redness, and the dew dropped on her long eyelashes. Like water and smoke.

"Hey, why are you here?" She obviously didn't expect it to be Tang Fang, who knew the captain the deepest on the Morningstar, and even Tang Lin and Tang Yun had to stand aside. As the leader of the rebel army in the eyes of outsiders, he is a model captain in the eyes of the crew. In fact, to put it bluntly, he is a lazy guy. Maybe he will be more diligent at critical moments such as carrying out tasks and confrontation between the two armies, but if it is put into ordinary times, he does not lie in bed every day, and drags on for twenty minutes or half an hour, then he is still him?

"It's not me, who do you think it is?" Without waiting for her to let in, Tang Fang stepped into the room and looked around: "Where is Zhou Ai?" ”

"She went to training with Linglong." Claire tugged at her hair. He glanced at him: "You don't sleep your lazy sleep, why did you get up so early today." ”

Tang Fang grinned, looked her up and down, and quipped: "I'm coming to see you, I have to get up early, otherwise, I won't miss a good scene of Hibiscus coming out of the water." As he spoke, the boy's eyes were fixed on the girl's breast.

Claire's face turned even redder. Intentionally or unintentionally, his arm covered his chest, and he whispered: "Hooligans." Then he turned his back away. While taking a ball of headbands on the table, pulling up the full head of blonde hair, coiling into a bud at the back of his head, he said without looking back: "You are here to find Zhou Ai......

"Hmm." Speaking of business, Tang Fang nodded: "How is she doing?" Nothing out of the ordinary, right? ”

"Nope." Freya cleaned up her sideburns in the mirror, and wiped the water droplets from her brow: "It's normal to come these days." Even I wondered if what happened that day could have been a hallucination caused by food poisoning, as Valentine had said. ”

Tang Fang pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "No, Zhou Ai has always acted steadily. No matter how you look at the events of that day, it's not like her character, but now that I think about it, it's still weird. ”

"You don't have to worry too much, I'm with her, and I'll notify you immediately if there is a change."

Tang Fang nodded, changed the topic, and asked about Linglong again: "What?" Linglong comes to Zhou Ai every day? ”

"Well, rain or shine for 1 month." Speaking of Linglong, Claire sighed: "This kid is really strong enough, with Zhou Ai's kind of training intensity, the elite soldiers of the special training camp of the general army can't bear it, I didn't expect her to be able to persevere." ”

"Very hard working girl!" The so-called knife is not sharpened, people are not sharpened, and adversity creates heroes. Speaking of Linglong, Tang Fang also admired it, the hardships and hardships of the past did not overwhelm her, but like the gale of the plateau, this girl with a weak appearance and a strong heart was full of resilience.

"By the way, do you want to go for a morning run with me?" Freya casually handed him a cup of coffee.

Tang Fang took it, took a sip, looked at her with slanted eyes, and said with a smile: "That...... It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and I will give you a strong man today, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of taking care of you for several days. ”

"Cut." Claire glanced at him angrily: "You will push the boat down the river and always bribe me with these small favors." ”

"Ah, I'm so embarrassed to say that. Otherwise, you don't think it will work out. As he spoke, Tang Fang got up from the sofa, walked behind Claire, supported her waist, and poked his face from behind to the root of his ears: "Anyway, I will only leave tomorrow, and I will accompany you all day today, how about it?" ”

At the end, just as Claire's roots were red, he added again: "Well, I won't leave at night." ”

"Scoop." The girl turned from shame to annoyance, turned around directly, pushed his chest with both hands, pushed Tang Fang out of the door with a snort, and pressed the close button casually.

"Huh." Tang Fang was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "That's it, then I'll go...... Don't regret it. ”

He was about to leave, and suddenly a faint sigh came from the room: "What a rivalry...... I'm going to change my clothes. ”

"Oh." Tang Fang smiled: "I'll wait for you outside." ”

Five minutes later, at the dock of the relay station, Claire, dressed in sportswear, trotted all the way, still holding two hot slices of bread in her hands, which should have been fried judging from the golden color on the surface.

"Haven't you eaten breakfast yet, ......," the girl handed over a slice of her hand, and then pecked her piece into her mouth like a bird.

Tang Fang looked at her and said, "Why, this is not like your usual you." ”

Seeing that he stuffed the fried bread slices into his mouth, the girl said angrily: "Don't swallow so urgently, you have to run for a while, it's not good for your stomach, and it's easy to get angry." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Fang waved his hand: "Get used to it." ”

"I can't help it." Claire sighed, rested, and waited for him to swallow it all, but then stretched her arms: "Let's start." ”

"Hmm." Tang Fang nodded: "Lead the way ahead." ”

The girl didn't say anything more, and began to jog, Tang Fang followed her, and the two ran all the way, talking and laughing all the way, quietly enjoying this rare leisure time.

In about 7 or 8 minutes, when the two of them turned from the outer ring area to the inner ring and were about to go back, they met Zhou Ai, Linglong, and Bai Hao.

Zhou Ai's expression was as usual, Bai Hao's forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, the most wolf was exquisite, and his delicate little face was sweating profusely, almost dyeing the hair on his temples. However, there was no pain in her eyes, no exhaustion, only a determined and fearless gaze. (To be continued......)
