After 2 minutes.

The transport ship that broke out of the atmosphere is like a small fish that breaks out of a net, swimming into the vast starry sky of the universe.

"The power output is normal, the outer engine disengages after 30 seconds, the air pressure inside the ship returns to normal, the power of the main engine decreases by 60%, and the electromagnetic device starts ......"

With a long breath, Cecilia, who had returned to her normal state, piloted the behemoth as she always did, and a series of imbalances caused by insufficient preparation for the start gradually returned to normal.

"After 20 minutes, it will be out of the gravitational range of Charon, and after 25 minutes, the hull will enter a horizontal position, 40 minutes from the fleet formation time." The navigator glanced at Cecilia and dutifully reported the data.

"The outer engine is disengaged."

As Cecilia activated the disengagement device, the two outer engines hanging on both sides of the transport ship instantly went out and separated from the hull, becoming one of the many cosmic junks floating in the universe.

After the outer engine was disengaged, the electromagnetic device was activated, and a layer of distortion visible to the naked eye spread, and suddenly, the entire outer layer of the ship seemed to be covered with a vague film, and the power of the main engine continued to decline, but the speed of the ship was slowly increasing.

This anomaly is caused by the electromagnetic device, which acts to form a powerful electromagnetic field fluid in the outer layer of the ship, and this super magnetic field causes the space around the hull to ionize into an absolute vacuum. In this state, when the power is adjusted to 3% of the power output without affecting the ionization action, the ship is like gliding in a vacuum, without generating shock waves and thermal barriers, it is pushed faster and faster by a small propulsion force, and gradually reaches the sub-light speed of space, and this speed is also the safe speed at which negative energy is naturally generated and enters the wormhole.

"The hull is running normally, the power output is normal, the electromagnetic field fluid data is constant, the power furnace is running normally, and the ship's gravity is set normally......"

When a series of data returned to normal values, Cecilia locked onto the target channel and switched the driving mode to automatic mode, at which point the hull had returned to level, the energy supply inside the ship had returned to normal, and the lights in the various workshops were gradually turned on.

In the Marines' cabin, the chairs that were originally lying flat have now been turned into upright due to the restoration of leveling, and after seeing the red emergency lights go out and the white energy-saving lamps are on, the Marines in the cabin finally breathe a sigh of relief, unfasten the cross safety belt on their chests, and stand up to move their muscles.

"Robin, I think it's a mistake to get on this boat of your little lover. I can assure you that it was definitely the worst liftoff I've ever sat in. Li dug into his sore ears and complained disapprovingly to Robin.

Due to Cecilia's negligence, the air pressure inside the ship changed too quickly, which caused most people to have uncomfortable symptoms due to the change in air pressure, and it was inevitable that Li would complain like this.

Robin opened his mouth wide, and after the air pressure in his skull returned to normal, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "She's still an intern, don't have such high requirements for her." ”

"Whew! ~ This is a life-critical matter, I'm not as generous as you, for the sake of a little lover, I don't even care about my own life. Lee rubbed his pale cheeks and said to Robin, "I'm going to go outside for a walk, I think I'm about to throw up." ”

"I'll go ...... too," Colin, who was also pale, covered his mouth and ran out.

Then, one by one, the Marines left the cockpit to familiarize themselves with the rest of the ship, except for Robin who remained alone in the cockpit.

Robin knew that the whole ship was now filled with gossip between him and Cecilia, and in such a situation, it was not appropriate for him, the protagonist of the rumors, to appear in front of the public, so he would rather stay here alone, and he knew that Cecilia would definitely come to him when the ship was fully in automatic sailing mode, so in these few hours, he needed to sort out his thoughts and think about how to explain to Cecilia, after all, judging from the performance of the transport ship when it was lifted off, the girl had not forgotten him, Otherwise, it wouldn't be so gaffe.

"Fate is really joking, I was assigned to a ship with her, and I saluted her as I said when I graduated......"

Thinking of his casual words of comfort to Cecilia when he graduated, Robin's face couldn't help but show a warm smile.

In fact, Robin didn't have to sort out those explanations at all, and he didn't plan to hide anything anyway, just tell Cecilia the truth.

He is now staying alone, more to sort out his emotions, to think about how to deal with those relationships that are suddenly complicated, after all, he and Cecilia will stay on this ship day and night, he doesn't want his soldiers to start disobeying him because of this little accident.

"What a hassle......

After thinking about it for a while, Robin really didn't know how to recover his lost prestige, he had just graduated from the training camp, he had no experience in this area, and he was not good at dealing with this kind of thing, so he could only do nothing about it. However, in his opinion, infantry is a profession that speaks with strength after all, and as long as he can show his strength in the next battle, then he should be able to successfully regain the prestige he lost.

Thinking of this, Robin gave up those unrealistic nonsense, took out an electronic book from the shelf above his seat, and prepared to study the actual combat methods of the Air Force Corps, as well as the armament of this transport ship.

The Air Marines, as the name suggests, refer to the ground combat units of the Air Force.

In the current space age, the role of infantry in the special battlefield of space is actually not weak. On the contrary, the Air Force Marine Corps is the main armed force of the Air Force. In contrast to the ground forces of the army, which had limited battlefields, the republic even had more than 80% of its infantry serving in the Air Force.

Such a large proportion of infantry served in the Air Force, which made the title Air Force somewhat sour. However, as long as you think about it a little, you can understand that the current large-scale development of human beings in the universe has made countless space stations in space, and the area of these space stations has even far exceeded the cities on some resource stars, and more than the space station, there are countless large spaceships sailing in the universe, and these billion-ton spaceships are almost mobile fortresses in space. Almost every spaceship can be seen as a city, so the fact that these 'lands' extend across the universe makes the definition of the infantry profession more and more broad.

Moreover, the mode of engagement between space warships in this era has also made the air force more and more in demand for infantry.

In the battlefield of space, when two large spaceships that are hostile to each other meet, the first wave of attack in the battle will often be a battle between carrier-based aircraft. Only when the carrier-based aircraft are divided between the winners and losers, then the real battle will begin.

The battle in this mode is called a landing side battle. First of all, the carrier of the winning side of the air combat will bombard the enemy's hull indiscriminately, on the one hand, to disarm the spaceship's air defense, and on the other hand, to attract the fire of the spaceship's anti-aircraft guns. When the firepower of the spaceship's anti-aircraft guns drops to a certain level, the attacker will send a large number of assault boats to directly carry out infantry landing operations.

This mode of operation is somewhat similar to the maritime combat during the ancient period of great exploration, and in terms of tactics alone, it is even inferior to the combat mode of the navy, land and air forces before the space age. And in the early days of space warfare, there were indeed people who had the idea of using ship-based artillery to destroy enemy ships at a long distance.

It's a pity that in the mode of giant ship heavy artillery, human beings have only achieved giant ships, but cannot do heavy artillery. Limited by the vast universe, the navigation between planets requires a lot of energy, which makes the energy available for combat on the spaceship very limited, and the complex environment of space makes it too easy for the killer energy of photon energy bombs or plasma to be interfered by gravity or other external factors in the universe when the distance is too far, so the long-distance heavy artillery combat mode cannot be realized in the universe at all, which gradually makes close combat become the mainstream combat mode of space warfare.

In the early days of space warfare, when spaceships were generally only of the million-ton level, fighters could still rely on their own attack power to solve problems. But as the spaceship grows bigger and bigger, to the billion-ton scale, and the hull armor becomes stronger and stronger, the fighter can no longer read to solve a battle. Thus, the important surnames of the infantry began to manifest. When the heavily armed heavy infantry sits in the assault boat like a drill, shoots the enemy ship like a speeding arrow, and relies on the sharp drill bit of the assault boat to drill through the hard shell of the large spaceship, the landed infantry will attack the spaceship like an ant colony, destroy the power furnace of the enemy spaceship from the inside, and completely lose the enemy's combat effectiveness.

In this tactical mode, the infantry plays the role of deciding the last hit. However, the risks taken by the infantry were also enormous, and in almost every battle, more than 30% of the infantry was hit by enemy anti-aircraft guns and died in the assault boats before they could land on enemy ships. Moreover, even if they successfully penetrate the interior of the enemy ship, the enemy guards will deploy superior firepower near the attack point and greet the infantry fighters who rush out of the assault boat with an overwhelming rain of bullets.

Therefore, the tragic saying that 'the air force is responsible for flying, and the infantry is responsible for death' has become the epitome of soldiers in this space age......
