Volume 4 Chapter 24 Reserve Pilots
The news of the attack on the Gangbart Stellar Particle Optoelectronics Plant spread all of a sudden, and people were talking about a very rare event in the past few decades. Gombat is 846 light-years away from Celta, far away from us, and it will take almost 3 months for the news to reach us, the Milky Way is too big.
"It takes 3 months for the news to come, what is the current information transmission speed when you told me last time?" Grandpa Kong asked. He sat with Sihan, me, and Xu Feng in the quiet little courtyard of Xu Feng and talked about this important matter.
"3650 times the speed of light, but it is not a straight line, and the amount of information must be kept through one transfer station after another."
"Brother Jingtian, how was the stellar particle photoelectric plant made? Looking at the data, each of the collection stations is very large, much bigger than the spaceship I was on! Do we use all the energy that comes from the collection station? Sihan has always had a great interest in things in the new world, and his eyes widened as if he wanted to find the answer in my eyes.
"To build a particle optoelectronics plant, we first need to determine the safe distance of the star, which depends on some factors such as the sun and the corona, and in general it is about a million kilometers from the surface of the star, which can neither be too close nor too far. It mainly captures the high-speed free electrons, protons, and highly ionized ions in the corona as an energy source to create a light pool, and every once in a while a spacecraft will come to receive the light pool. Its magnitude is the result of the Alliance's efforts from generation to generation over thousands of years. "I explained.
"And who do you think did such a thing?" Sihan continued to ask.
"Either the rebels or the pirates?"
"Pirates?" Sihan's eyes seemed to widen a little wider.
"The name pirate is just the same as before, they all drive spaceships!" Xu Fei knew that Sihan's question was explained.
"Who are they?"
"Most of them are people of all races, who want to maintain their traditions and independence, and do not want to join the Alliance. When the Earth joined the Alliance, there were also some people who went to explore the new universe and did not join the Alliance, and the Alliance was not embarrassed for this kind of people, and provided spaceships for them to use, as long as they were required to abide by the Alliance's planet development guidelines. This group of people is basically law-abiding, but there are also some who have been out for a while and then re-requested to release the Alliance. ”
"Some of these people do not want to join the alliance for the sake of their ideals and national independence, but there are still some outlaws or people with other goals in mind, and some people who have left the alliance for various reasons, and these people have gradually grown and become an unstable factor in the alliance over a long period of time." I added.
As the four of them were talking, Su Fei suddenly shouted happily: "Xue Qing will come over soon, and this Nizi won't say it sooner when she comes back." ”
"Xue Qing! By the way, didn't she join the army after graduating from flight academy! Last time, I heard you say that you were already the squadron leader of the space fighter, but I haven't seen each other in years. "I had a beautiful woman with neat short hair and a beautiful face in my head.
After a while, "Wow! For! The grinding of boots and stone slabs came from the quiet alleyway, as if they were pounding before the battle
The war drums are like the horns before the charge, so light and rhythmic. The magical voice pulled the four of us up from our seats and brought four pairs of eyes to hers.
The figure of a woman was the first to cast a long way into this courtyard, and its main body, the hostess in a tight-fitting suit, then walked into this long-lost courtyard. The breeze blew and the trees in the yard rustled, as if welcoming this family member who had not seen him for a long time. Feng'er lifted her hair, revealing that familiar face.
A smile hung on the corner of her mouth, diluting the cold face of the previous one, and restoring a more pleasing complexion. The close-fitting spacesuit was worn on her body, revealing her bumpy figure, and it was the first time I had seen her wear it like this, and she didn't even change her clothes when she got off the spaceship.
"Flints!"
"Xue Qing!" The two friends had already hugged each other, but the beautiful figure still separated most of their bodies, and I swallowed a big gulp of saliva when I saw it.
After shaking hands with everyone, Xue Qing slowly paced in the yard and said, "Several years have passed, and the yard still hasn't changed much!" ”
Then she glanced at me again, this time with an indescribable look, if she hadn't been sure that she knew about my relationship with Sufin and thought she was interested in me!
"Xue Qing! Come back this time to stay longer! Ever since you joined the army, I don't even have a companion! ”
"Isn't there a female companion with a male companion?" Xue Qing glared at me faintly and said, she actually stared at me a little panicked, she wouldn't really be interested in me! ”
Su Fei didn't feel a little embarrassed, only smiled and said, "How anxious you are to come back, there should be something!" ”
"Yes, our Captain Su will be with me a lot in the future!"
"What!" I'm confused, even if it's interesting to me, it can't be like this! Besides, I already have a sweetheart!
"Oh!" I didn't pull me but said, "That's good, I'm relieved that he's with you!" ”
"What!" I was even more gloomy, and Sihan, who was sitting next to me, pulled his seat back and leaned close to Grandpa Kong.
Xue Qing couldn't help laughing, and suddenly an extra piece of paper came out of her hand and handed it to me. When I took the paper, I saw a notice that read: "Su Jingtian, a space pilot prepared by the Flight Academy, will report to the Flight Academy on 18 November for the study and training of space fighters. Order of the Celta Military Council. ”
She also leaned over to look at the notification, then swept me again and said, "It can't be because of Gangbat's star!" Is there going to be a war? ”
Xue Qing suppressed her smile and said: "It's because of the matter of Gangbat, but now the alliance has already planned to expand the space fighter fleet, and the matter of Gangbatt Star has only advanced this plan a little, so the alliance has relaxed the requirements and asked the empty fighter reserve members to train immediately this time to prepare for the future." That's what I'm here for. ”
"Then you're here to be a fighter instructor!" That's when I realized why she said she wanted to be with me so often.
"yes!" Xue Qing raised her head slightly and smiled.
"I'm going to ask the instructor for more advice that night!" I stood up, imitating
The ancients said in a tone and made a gesture. Seeing me like this, she covered her mouth with one hand and couldn't stop laughing, and even Xue Qing, who had always been cold, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
We then asked Xue Qing about the situation, and it turned out that the alliance judged that the rebels were responsible for the incident of Gangbat, and there was already a fleet to investigate the cause. According to the surviving defenders of the Gonbat, the rebels had a large number of space fighters, and at that time there were no large aircraft carriers at the collection station, only a small number of space fighters. Those space fighters were quickly shot down in the battle with the rebels, and the rebel space fighters were no less effective than the Alliance, and the Alliance decided to relax some requirements to make some reserves for space fighter pilots. War could break out again at any moment.
The next day, the order for the training of the reserve unit of empty aircraft and fighters came down, and the personnel of each unit who had met the requirements were notified to go to the flight academy on time to participate in the review. When I arrived at the flight academy, after a series of checks, my indicators were a little better than last time, and I successfully entered the training list.
Before the formal training, we first studied the theory of space fighters, and the lecturer to us was the bald instructor Ulis. In the classroom, there were about 20 people sitting like they did in college, and I felt like I was back in school.
"The T-18 is an anti-gravity fighter that uses an anti-gravity engine, which uses the gravitational pull of an object. Modern science has basically determined that gravity is produced by the extension of the electromagnetic force of the atomic nucleus to the electron, and the gravitational force of the object on the planet is generated by the extension of the electromagnetic force of the electron on the electron of the body of the planet. The anti-gravity engine counteracts the electromagnetic force of the planet against the aircraft by creating the opposite electromagnetic force. This allows the aircraft to be suspended in the air. And when the electromagnetic force created is greater than the gravitational force of the planet on the aircraft, the aircraft can rise. When flying forward, you have to change the direction of the electromagnetic force, and that's how it works. Of course, the anti-gravity engine is a very esoteric subject, people are still studying and improving, everyone just needs to understand this aspect, don't delve into it, the important thing is that you can fly an airplane, so that this engine can work very well, is there any problem? ”
"Mentor, is this true for small planes, and is it also true for large motherships?" A classmate asked with a thoughtful look, it seems that there are still studious people.
"You're probably asking what's different in the way you work." Ullis smiled, obviously enjoying the other to ask questions he knew.
"Large motherships have two sets of engines, one is an anti-gravity engine for navigating the inner galaxy, and the other is a faster-than-light engine. Its anti-gravity engine works a little differently, it uses a magnetic field to reflect back the electromagnetic force that the planet acts on it, or isolate it, which is more energy-efficient. The space fighter is to create an electromagnetic force to counteract, and its energy consumption is relatively high. ”
"Why don't smaller planes do this more energy-efficient way?"
"Large aircraft are because there is enough space for the corresponding equipment, and small aircraft cannot be equipped with similar engines." The mentor paused at this point, blinked and said, "Or maybe the current technology can't make such a small engine." ”
