More than two hours later, the Yuewan finally replenished the supplies, and the eight booster rockets were installed one by one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dozens of small spaceships that had been surrounding the Moon Bay withdrew one after another, and Huang Bo in the bridge of the Moon Bay commanded loudly: "Start the attitude engine-"

"Attitude Engine Starts—"

"Join the expeditionary formation!"

The attitude engine under the belly of the battle spewed out several white air currents, pushing the Yuewan to float upward, joining the end of the formation of the expeditionary fleet, the four battleships were lined up, about a hundred meters apart, and a few red lights flashed in the silhouette of the Xia Wan, which was the signal light on the surface of the battleship.

Ye Han, who had been sitting for more than two hours, immediately cheered up, staring at the screen on the left side of the bridge with wide eyes, and on the screen, the side number of the Xia Wan could be clearly seen.

That's right, it's the screen, not the porthole.

Class 024 does not have the conspicuous bridge of surface ships, the command cabin of the battleship is located in the middle of the battleship, replaced by a surface ship, this position is the middle of the bottom of the ship, and the appearance is as low-key as it is, and people who do not know will not be able to find the location of the bridge at all.

At first glance, this design may seem unreasonable, but in fact it is the work of the designers.

The military has never designed a space battleship, everything has to be started from scratch.

However, the military has a fine tradition in design, when designing nuclear submarines, it was also from scratch, and the designers only had two photos of nuclear submarines reproduced from foreign newspapers, and then a model of a nuclear submarine bought from a toy store, but the design team simply came up with a nuclear submarine!

Inspired by their predecessors, the designers found a large number of science fiction film and television works, photographed and archived the battleships that appeared in the film, and studied them in detail one by one to absorb the excellent ideas in them.

In this way, from 011 to 024, two models of space battleships went from scratch, from rough to refined, from chaotic to reasonable.

Comparing the design drawings, it can be found that the first draft of the 011 class has a bridge that clearly protrudes from the hull, which is no different from a surface ship, but in the subsequent drawings, this thing that is no different from the target becomes more and more inconspicuous, until it finally disappears.

The bridge is the command center of the battleship, it is the brain of the battleship, once it is damaged, the consequences are unimaginable, and such an important position is designed so conspicuously, is it afraid that the enemy will not find out?

A battleship can't do without a bridge, but it doesn't need an exposed bridge! However, in all science fiction film and television works, the bridge of the space battleship is exposed to the surface of the battleship, and only a few can hide inside the ship after the war.

This strange design amazed all the designers, and directly borrowed from the design scheme of the submarine to make a hidden bridge.

As a result, the two-level space battleship has become the current appearance of a bridge that cannot be found, and the designers also gave this structure a name - built-in bridge!

With the built-in bridge design, the image from the outside of the ship cannot be viewed through the porthole. In fact, there is no need to use any portholes, the universe is vast, and you can't see the edge at a glance, except for the dark canopy of starlight, and you can't see anything at all with the naked eye.

The electronic equipment is different, and the camera equipment installed outside the ship can not only transmit images from all directions back to the bridge, but also use optical equipment to magnify the image. What's more, electronic devices can fill in the light of the picture, separating objects that would otherwise be hidden in the dark, avoiding misjudgment caused by naked eye observation.

Without electronic equipment to supplement the light, no matter how good Ye Han's eyesight is, he can't even see the side of the Xia Wan, even if the distance between the two battleships is only more than a hundred meters.

This is a natural physiological weakness of the naked eye, a weakness that cannot be changed -- in naval warfare, optical observation and sighting equipment is still used, and the space battlefield is much larger than the sea surface, so how can we observe the situation only with the naked eye?

To make a conspicuous bridge, observation must also pass through portholes, what kind of window panes can resist the powerful rays of the universe, and can resist enemy fire in battle?

Leave such obvious flaws in the battleship, looking for death?

Therefore, the final design scheme is that the bridge is full of screens, showing the situation outside the ship in 360 degrees without dead ends, just like sitting in a panoramic dome theater and watching a documentary movie with the theme of the universe and starry sky.

"Report, the Moon Bay is in place!" Huang Bo's breathless voice sounded in the bridge.

As soon as the words fell, a calm voice appeared in the communicator: "Yuewan, welcome back to the team - command center, the task force has been assembled, please leave the port!" ”

"Command center received, task force, can leave port, salute-"

"Attention everyone, I am the flagship Hongwan, listen to my orders, all ships are scattered, a distance of five hundred meters!"

The attitude engine started again, and after the Yuewan slid out seven or eight hundred meters to the side, it adjusted its position again, and the four battleships finally formed a horizontal line about five hundred meters apart.

"Command center, task force ready to depart, request voyage data."

"Data uploaded!"

"Data received, decoded...... Attention everyone, start the main engine-"

"Start the main engine!" Huang Bo immediately repeated the order.

"Main engine starts!"

The propulsion of the electromagnetic engine is continuing, but the actual propulsion is very small, Ye Han didn't feel anything abnormal, and he didn't even notice that the battleship was moving at all.

"The ships are moving forward at full speed, and the countdown to the ignition of the first group of booster rockets—"

The sound of a countdown to a few seconds immediately sounded in the bridge of the Moon Bay, Ye Han took a deep breath, leaned his body tightly against the chair, and prepared to resist the impact.

"Three, two, one, ignition!" At the end of the ten-second countdown, the two booster rockets fixed outside the ship ignited together.

The thrust given by the rocket to the battleship must penetrate the center of mass of the battleship, otherwise the battleship will deviate due to uneven force, so the booster rocket is two at each time, and the two symmetrical rockets are ignited at the same time.

The strong power pushed the nearly 5,000-ton battleship to slowly accelerate, and the battleship gradually moved away from its original position.

Ye Han found that the moon on the screen was obviously moving backwards, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy, and said silently: "Xiaoting, wait for me to come back......"

The formation became faster and faster, gradually leaving the moon behind and speeding towards the blue earth.

At this time, the Moon is located between the Sun and the Earth, hanging high in the daytime sky, and after the fleet departs, it does not fly directly in the direction of Jupiter, but first flies to the right side of the Earth.

According to human habits, the solar system is above the north of the earth, and all the planets revolve counterclockwise, if the direction of the earth is regarded as the front, the direction of the fleet's flight at this time is behind the earth, and after a few minutes, the booster rockets run out of fuel, and the four warships immediately start the second group of booster rockets after a short attitude adjustment and alignment with the predetermined sailing direction.
