Chapter Eighty-Six: An Unexpected Encounter

Seeing what I wanted to see, I still had to make a show for the next few days, and let Najieri get in touch with another foreign shipyard, King Kong Manufacturing.

Perhaps because they were not customers, King Kong Manufacturing refused more directly about purchasing Florine mechas, but in several successive meetings with the sales department, they accidentally revealed a secret.

The original phrase was, "Those mechs can't change pilots." ”

And Bernice has already judged that there is living tissue in the mecha, and the contact cannot change the pilot, and the organisms in the Florine mecha should be genetically matched and cultured one-to-one, and its operation method is likely to directly use bioelectric signal instructions, that is, direct brain contact.

Both sides were unsuccessful in buying Florin mechas, and Pan Wen and others were "very disappointed", and things could only be pressed.

By the time Shota Eloan returned, the ship was already in the final stages of painting, and resupply was underway.

Titan Heavy Industries' giveaway only includes about 500 Star Coins worth of nuclear fuel and 500 Star Coins Quantum Fuel Rods, as well as a minimum water reserve for the circulation system, and the rest must be purchased by yourself. The large increase in the size of the heavy cruiser allows it to be equipped with a very powerful fusion reactor group, which can solve the energy consumption needs of most cases without the need for nuclear batteries as a medium energy consumption supplement, and even the huge energy required for hyperspace jumps can be provided by the reactor alone, but it takes a little longer to store energy. This is also where the name of the cruiser comes from - the ability to hop from galaxy to system almost without regard to fuel. The fuel of 1,000 star coins is enough for more than ten years if it does not enter a high-load battle.

There are only 200 chicks in the part I added, and there are no fighters or patrol ships or anything, except for some food and maintenance parts, mainly to fill the water circulation system, most of which are prepared for the guys who are still fighting in MR251.

Although the huge water circulation system is provided by Titan Heavy Industries with 2,000 tons of water reserves, as long as this part is reduced by another 100 tons, it will begin to affect the aging rate of the circulating filtration system, so it still needs to be filled with additional water. Fortunately, Sakura Harbor is next to the resident star, and the water resources here are also 70% cheaper than Guis, so Pan Wen simply took the opportunity to spend 3,000 Star Coins to directly fill it to 90% of the best state. There is nothing to hesitate, just a super battleship with a length of more than seven hundred meters and almost two streets, the internal space just to maintain the air humidity in the personnel detention area requires dozens of tons of water, and the reuse rate of this part is not as good as fluid water, in fact, most of the losses of the recirculation system are there.

By the way, in honor of the source of funds for the purchase of the ship - a certain vault, Pan Wen's first heavy cruiser was named the Gold. People in space don't have a high demand for gold, and they don't worship it as much as they did on the ground, so although the name of the ship is a little ordinary, it doesn't look too tacky.

The new customized gold number, the port number given by Titan Heavy Industries is Caesar I-P01, and it is no longer numbered as I-IV or other according to the factory's numbering method.

Taking advantage of the time of painting, Pan Wen and the crew came to the ship in advance to familiarize themselves.

Pan Wen paid a huge sum of money for the Gold, but the Gold was still not complete by this time, and it was missing three parts: the second mainframe, the robots, and the expansion module. The second main engine and expansion pod are already included in the fee, and they only need to wait for Pan Wen to return to the "One Star Coin Shipyard" in Segeis to get it, and the robot will need to pay separately.

The expansion module is the original expansion configuration of the Caesar I-III Heavy Cruiser, which is a huge cabin hanging from the middle of the underside of the hull to the front of the tail, and the volume is almost the same as that of two Heavy Hammers, and its purpose is to share the super endurance of the Heavy Cruiser with the fleet to the greatest extent. It contains two levels of warplane/mech hangars, two levels of habitation/living pods, as well as a medium-sized dock and six ship bays, making it a miniature portable port. I didn't make this part in Titan Heavy Industries because it is not a necessary configuration, and it needs to charge an additional 5000 Star Coins, and it seems that the thing will not be used for the time being, so I didn't buy it, and it will not extend the construction time of the main part of Titan Heavy Industries.

Because of the lack of things, the time to get on the ship and familiarize himself with it, people kept coming to him to complain that there were not enough people here, and there were not enough people there.

Sakura Harbor can't hire professional pirates, and Pan Wen can only say that he will have a supplement when he returns to Saigeis, so that they can endure it.

After another two days, the test project of each component was finally completed and the delivery procedures were completed, and it was time to leave.

When the giant ship Gold rose from the surface of Sakura Harbor, there were a bunch of Florin's mechs, warplanes, and a dozen light patrol ships floating next to it, as if they were afraid that the ship would leave a mark on Florin before leaving.

Leaving without being restricted by the jump circle, the Golden deviated from the ecliptic plane under the escort of Florin's army, took a moment to get out of the scout's laying range, and entered the jump program.

Although it was four days later than scheduled, the Gold's first leg was still to MR251 first, and he could only rest assured that the other part of his fleet was safe.

Because of the length of the hull, the Gold needs to be at a higher speed to start the hyperspace jump. However, due to the quantum engine turned on in the just-completed test project, the test machine ran out of fuel at this time, and it was possible to directly use the stronger energy output to improve the stability of the quantum channel, so that it could start jumping at the same speed as the frigate.

"The jumping procedure is complete, and no anomalies have been found in the surrounding area."

The bridge control room of the Golden Large is 2,000 square meters, and it is no longer possible to use the roar directly, everyone has to wear a walkie-talkie, although the sound will not be distorted, but there is no atmosphere of shouting and shouting.

Pan Wen glanced at Nadezhda, who was not yet on duty at the door, and pressed the button representing the radar communicators: "Start galaxy scanning." ”

The Heavy Cruiser, which can be configured even in small ports, is a real center of war, and when moving at low speeds, the hyperspace information complex can be activated to collect information about the entire star system! It is not the same as the sensor's cross-space non-delay detection and radar direct detection, and the hyperspace information collection does not have the ability to distinguish the target type, but it can be analyzed by the host to obtain more reliable information, and the scanning will not be blocked by the celestial body itself out of the reconnaissance blind spot. In addition to being used for scanning, this large device can also be used for hyperspace communication in nearby galaxies - since most targets do not have the same equipment, they can only be sent in one direction.

This technology is a classified technology jointly developed by several large shipyards, because it is sold to the country, and it has not yet been declassified.

The galaxy scan was time-consuming, and it took ten minutes to locate the orbital fleet of the Hymer D21 satellites.

When scanning other areas, the host preferentially processes the spectral analysis near D21.

As a result, Pan Wen blushed again, and after being four days late, the orbital fleet did not lose a single ship! It means that the curly-haired guys didn't fight with the D21 orbital fleet, and the destination of the people is not here, and he has wronged the "good guys" at all.

Since there is nothing to do, he is not willing to use the gold to stimulate his allies, and it is only a serious matter to return to Segeis as soon as possible to get all the things missing on the ship.

After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, the preliminary spectra of the entire galaxy were analyzed. I was about to send the drawings with the machine's notes to the orbital fleet via telecommunication, when I suddenly noticed something abnormal.

The hyperspace reconnaissance system used by the galaxy scanning system is actually to locate multiple miniature quantum channels and observe galaxies based on multiple space points, and there will still be some speed of light delay at the end, and the resulting image will have a situation similar to ordinary photography for long exposure, the effect of this delay is not that it cannot be eliminated, but because it can be used to analyze the movement direction of celestial bodies, it is deliberately retained.

Nearly 40 dots in this large image are marked as "suspected metal, collateral radiation", and these 40 dots are moving in the direction of facing Helmer. Similar dots add up to more or less more than 500 in the entire galaxy, seventy percent of them are various ships, D21's orbital fleet is also among them, and only thirty percent are natural celestial bodies with highly radioactive minerals...... Galaxy scanning is also not a panacea, and low levels of radiation are difficult to determine with spectral analysis in a short period of time.

Pan Wen is not eyeing these forty because their target is Haimer Star, most of the natural celestial bodies will slowly fly towards it due to the huge gravitational pull of Haimer Star, the suspicion is that they are too dense, and when the celestial bodies enter after crossing the galaxy or leaving the main range of the star's gravitational well, they generally will not appear densely, if it is a meteorite group with gravitational coordination, it should not show too strong suspected metal characteristics.

"Huh?" He made a few noises, shared the scan on the tactical squad's desktop, and said through a small patch around his neck, "Let's say it's a fleet, and you see where they come from." ”

These forty dots in a pile are not jumping from 247 or 250 from the direction of travel, and if it is really a fleet from Segeis, choosing to jump one more time is not only too cheap for the quantum energy bar, but also wastes the time to start accelerating to the speed of disengagement.

Now that they are all in MR251, they don't care about staying for a few more hours, it's better to help their teammates eliminate potential dangers.

The tactical squad quickly determined the state of MR251's gravitational well, and delineated the corresponding jump circles for each galaxy, and came up with an answer: "The fleet jumping from MR248 will pass through this route to Hemer Star." ”

The four galaxies of 247, 248, 249, and 250 can jump to 251 at once with frigates, and there are only two later, 252 and 253, and they are not yet complete human domination zones. On the periphery of the huge stellar gravitational well, the six jump circles occupy a small area, and since the jump circles that match their course can be delineated, the forty objects are more likely to be man-made.

Pan Wen tapped the command platform with his fingers a few times, and his fingers swiped a few times on the holographic star map, and instructed the radar communicator:

Repeat the scan for the marked area.

The technology of galaxy scanning can only be reversed by ships equipped with hyperspace information integrated systems, and the forty suspicious objects are almost 10 million kilometers away from the Golden Ship, which is far beyond the maximum range of ordinary ships, so Pan Wen has no scruples at all. Compared to the active enemy search function, which can only be used most of the time, the galaxy scan is much easier to use - of course, the information collected is much rougher, and it takes a lot of work to even confirm whether it is a ship or not.

Targeted scanning, much faster than just now, is partly due to the lack of large objects in the region. Five minutes later, Gold obtained a second spectral analysis map, which was several levels more detailed than the previous one.

After analyzing the elements of the picture, the tactical team gave Pan Wen a positive answer: "BOSS, from the radiation range, we conclude that the target group is the fleet. ”

Where did this pile come from?

Pan Wen rubbed his right temple and informed the correspondent: "The information complex system has been switched to communication mode, located to our orbital fleet, and the independent encrypted frequency band has been activated. ”

The Standalone Encryption Band is a separate communication encryption algorithm that Karuida gives to the pirate leader, so that she can say things that she is not comfortable saying in front of others.

"Positioning communication confirmation, encryption algorithm confirmation, search for a valid band, captain, you can speak."

"......" Pan Wen stayed for a while after pressing the communication button, very unaccustomed to the communication method that had no picture at all and could not expect an immediate response.

Take a deep breath and say into the pitch-black analog screen, "Hi! My dear, I noticed a group of interesting guys heading towards you, because I used special methods, and I can't confirm their speed for the time being, so get ready. ”

Turn off the recording and let the radar communicator pass along with the spectral map of the marked target.
