August 23, 2084, 3 p.m.

Robin and a large number of his entourage and equipment left Planet Wendini and headed to the Planetary Wendini Satellite Space Station, where they joined the 'Assembly' that had been moored there after completing its sea trials.

At 4 o'clock, the personnel boarded the ship. Five state-of-the-art J-X. heavy space shuttles and ten J-IX. light space shuttles were transported into the 'Assembly' berthing module under the handling of mechanical cranes, and at the same time, the modified 5,000-ton 'Beetle' II landing ship carrying Robin was also fixed at the tail end of the 'Assembly' in a hard way.

All preparations were ready, and at 4:28 p.m., Robin and his 1,700 shipboard officers and men saluted and said goodbye to the Barnard garrison who had come to see them off, and officially set off on the journey to the Hoffman Empire.

The bridge of the frigate 'Assemble'.

"Heading south, 20 percent power output, targeting the R-N black hole in the Barnard system, with an estimated arrival time of one hour, eight minutes and fifty-two seconds." In the captain's position, Cecilia, dressed in military uniform, reads out the navigation data heroically, while beside her, the navigator Borg collects relevant galaxy data as usual and simulates the best route.

"Have you arranged them for Saila?"

At the bridge command platform, Robin casually asked about the personnel arrangements for the Assembler while poring over the equipment of the Assemble.

"It's all arranged, this time the 'Seraph' mercenaries have a total of twenty-seven people, including the regiment commander Seira, a total of seven pilots, fifteen mechanical maintenance personnel, and five aviation gunners. In terms of equipment, they only have sixteen M7 pistols, thirty-two energy magazines, and some flight suits and personal belongings. The Brotherhood of Steel was a little more numerous, eighty-nine men, almost all of them combatants, a hundred and sixteen light guns of all kinds, and a few knives. But there were no heavy weapons and heavy infantry armor, and light infantry armor was not fully equipped. ”

At present, Xia Zuo has become Robin's lieutenant, and after hearing Robin's questioning, he immediately told Robin the details of the 'Seraph' mercenaries and the 'Iron Brotherhood'.

"Seven pilots......" Robin touched his chin and muttered for a moment, "If we count the reserve pilots, there will be twenty, in this case, counting Cella's people, we will have twelve reserve pilots." Have you tested their skills? ”

Xia Zuo smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Johnny, Kyrie and Balk have already tested the pilots of the 'Seraph', and their personal skills are very good, especially the regimental commander Saila. The tactical literacy of the 'Seraph' is also above the level, in comparison, our pilots are inferior, except for Johnny and the three of them, the others are basically not the opponents of the 'Seraph'. ”

The three pilots mentioned by Xia Zo, Johnny, Carey and Balke, Robin is all impressed. In the Battle of the Ultra Nebula led by Chief of Staff Yalvis, Johnny and the other three performed very well in the M78-15 Nebula, and after contacting them, Angus and Afra also believed that the three of them had the potential to grow into ace pilots. However, these three people are all descendants of traditional free people, and their personalities are unruly and unruly, and it is difficult to adapt to the life of a regular republican **. Therefore, when Robin went on the expedition, Jarvis asked for their own consent, and assigned the three thorns to Robin's command, so that they could continue to serve the Republic.

Now, Robin's face suddenly became a little ugly when he heard that only these three thorns could compete with the pilots of the 'Seraph' in terms of personal skills.

"Aren't our pilots the elite drawn out of the 'Man in the Iron Mask' formation and the 'Rose' formation? How can they be technically inferior to them? ”

"The talent is different, and it can't be helped. However, although the individual skills are slightly inferior, the tactical literacy is obviously higher than that of the pilots from the 'Iron Mask' formation and the 'Rose' formation. It's just that this kind of tactical literacy is difficult to show in small-scale air battles, and only in large-scale air battles with more than 100 planes can the tactical literacy of our pilots be fully brought into play. ”

"Huh...... We don't have that many shipboard shuttles, it seems...... It's not okay to reuse them. Robin nodded with a wry smile: "Transfer two J-X. heavy space shuttles and five J-IX. light space shuttles to the 'Seraph', and as for maintenance parts and something, I will also allocate some to them." Remember, do the math clearly, these things are going to be charged. ”

"I understand." Xia Zuo nodded and wrote down Robin's instructions.

"What about Brother Taber? Have you figured out what they are doing? What type of special abilities do they have? ”

"Zhuo Luo dragged them to the training room, and there should be results soon."

"Zhuo Luo......" Hearing that Zhuo Luo had gone to test it himself, Robin suddenly laughed ill-willedly: "Since it is Zhuo Luo, then I am relieved." ”

Speaking of this, Robin put aside the matter of the 'Seraph' and the 'Brotherhood of Steel', pointed to the warship data he consulted, and asked worriedly, "I checked the equipment of the 'Assembly'. In terms of facilities, the supporting facilities of the 'Assembly Number' are simply too complete. An ecological recycling system that can be used in the daily life of 3,000 people, a set of mechanical parts production equipment, 15,000 'worker bee' collectors and supporting element refining equipment, plus multi-functional fuel production equipment and biological research and development system...... Damn, old Jack simply loaded up the entire logistics base. In this case, we obviously don't have enough logistics personnel."

"According to the conventional model, it is really not enough, after all, this is originally the supporting equipment of the aircraft carrier, and if it is hard to install a medium-tonnage warship such as a frigate, the logistics personnel will indeed be tight. However, the shipboard computer of our ship is a central computer extension, and the performance has reached 60% of the main engine, so all of the above equipment are automated, and there is no need to be equipped with too many logistics personnel, only in terms of design and specific installation, logistics personnel are required to do it themselves, so you don't have to worry that this full set of facilities will not be able to operate. ”

"Central Computer Extension...... Well...... I almost forgot about it. ”

Xia Zuo mentions the central computer extension, which immediately reminds Robin of the powerful and shocking ability of the central computer.

In the Republic, the central computer almost uses its powerful computing system to maintain the operation of the entire Republic, and the information processed every second is as high as hundreds of trillions of terabytes. In contrast, although the central computer extension equipped on the 'assembly number' only has 60 percent of the computing power of the main engine, it is more than enough to be responsible for a single 'assembly number'.

"Well, if we have a central computer in charge, we really don't have to worry about our logistics system. With such a complete set of facilities, even if we don't get supplies halfway, we will be completely self-sufficient. Putting down the electronic notebook in his hand, Robin looked at Xia Zuo with a smile: "This system should be from your handiwork, in the character of Old Jack, he will never install so many equipment unrelated to combat on a battleship." ”

"There's no way around it, our prospects are worrying, so we have to prepare in advance." Xia Zuo sat down beside Robin: "Our domestic intelligence on the Hoffman Empire is basically blank, and we only know that the Hoffman Empire is a powerful ** empire, and the territory is unimaginably vast. But for now, the only land we know belongs to the Hoffman Empire is the Brady system, and in the transition coordinate data, only the Brady galaxy has accurate black hole transition coordinates. ”

"Brady's Galaxy...... It seems to be the territory of the Marquis of Timos, and Leona and A095 should have gone there last year......" Robin lowered his head and silently in his heart ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
