Chapter 455: Investigation (2)

The energy engine's blazing tail flame doesn't make much noise or vibration, and this new type of pure energy drive engine propels the spacecraft through the pressure exerted on space by the energy flow. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info This is fundamentally different from the previous engine that used plasma or even ion propulsion, which was much backward.

According to the research in physics, there are only two factors that can affect space, one is mass and the other is energy. The sheer mass can bend the surrounding space, such as a black hole that warps space to the extreme, while intense energy can break through space, such as the space weapons used by Level 7 civilizations.

Driven by the energy engine array in the stern of the lightning marten-class assault ship, the assault ship with the anti-gravity engine turned on quickly rose into the air, flew out of the launch channel under the cliff of the valley, and then pulled higher and higher, and quickly disappeared under the action of the quantum stealth system.

The Lightning Marten-class assault ship is twenty-five meters long, thirteen.7 meters wide, and five .5 meters high, with a slightly concave belly, which from a distance looks like a large king eight shell with a pointed front. The Lightning Marten only describes the agility of this assault ship, and the appearance of the assault ship has nothing to do with the Lightning Marten.

On the battlefield, assault ships are usually close to the enemy's convoy under the cover of individual fighters, and release powerful hedron missiles at close range. Or with agility to pass through the fire blockade line, follow the passage of individual fighters to the enemy's blasted starport or the crack in the armor of the torn battleship, and drop ship-based assault troops into the opponent's battleship.

The interior of the assault ship is 15 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 2.2 meters high, and the cargo compartment can transport a small team of personnel and equipment for flexible infiltration operations at a time. This kind of assault ship belongs to the type of cannon fodder ship with thin skin and less stuffing on the interstellar battlefield, but it is superior to maneuverability and flexibility, so it has been used on a large scale by the Golden Crow fleet on the battlefield.

The Lightning Marten-class assault ships were able to be used not only as melee bombers, but also in the fleet in place of some of the functions of armed transport boats. The assault ship piloted by Yun Hehe carried a squad of soldiers and equipment, which would not be useful under normal circumstances, but they were essential in some places where they needed to land.

This time, their mission is mainly to find the Tanuki series detectors that have lost contact, and if these detectors are only scrapped, they will recover the collected data as much as possible, and the detectors themselves will be destroyed on the spot. If the probe has self-destructed, try to look in the wreckage area to see if you can recover some information to confirm the cause of the probe's self-destruction.

If none of the above is possible, their job is to probe the environment in space, and map the floating islands and even the asteroid belt above the continent, at least the fifth region. In the next Crescent War, the initial battlefield of the Purple Chime Knights revolved around the Fifth Region, and other places could wait first, but the collection of star maps in the Fifth Region was urgent.

"Computer, the assault ship enters the automatic cruise mode, and the pilot requests the transfer of control permissions" Yun carefully checked the flight and control status of the assault ship and began to hand over the control of the assault ship to the semi-intelligent assistant program, so that the assault ship entered the automatic navigation mode.

Flying from the inner layers of the atmosphere into space passes through a very dense belt of gravel, and it is a very serious burden for the driver to control the whole process, and the semi-intelligent assistant program has an advantage over humans in terms of dodging.

"Understood, the transfer of control authority began, and the assault ship entered automatic navigation mode" replied the semi-intelligent assistant program in cold and blunt Dyson language.

"This thing is really advanced," He sighed on the side.

"That's right, but looking at the information in the database, the latest Hummingbird-class individual fighter is more flexible than this," Yun also replied.

"Is Ling the girl you mentioned last time? The one in 1257 Education Institute? I didn't expect you to still be in contact with each other" He found that the cab was a little dull and began to gossip.

"Oh! I've known each other for a long time, and I'm a good female student, very reliable," Yun replied and fell silent, and began to carefully watch the mission briefing, holographic projections, and star maps. He Kanyun didn't talk to **, and silently flipped through the task information.

"Dut...... I said the first two, did you turn on the optical projection inside the assault ship, let's see what's going on outside, we haven't seen space since we were young. Didn't the brothers take such a big risk this time just to catch a glimpse of the scenery in the sky, and you were accommodating? "The leader of the ten-man squad in the crew compartment sent a request to the wheelhouse.

"Computer, turn on the external detector, let's take a look too" Yun exhaled softly and put the information away. Yun already understood what he should know, and he just opened the briefing just because he didn't want to dwell on Ling's issue. Thinking that he or Ling might not survive the graduation ceremony, Yun felt a little upset.

Although there will be no one else to oppose the love between the students of the education center, both parties in the relationship will also be very cautious because of the uncertain future. This is currently the case with Yun and Ling. There was only a layer of window paper between the two of them, but no one dared to pick out the topic easily, because no one could predict what would happen after this layer of paper was clarified.

"Wow, look, look, isn't that an El Niño floating island. I heard that at the graduation ceremony twenty years ago, the base of the Fourth District Combined Fleet was located here, but it was completely wiped out under the attack of the space fleet of the Skystar. You see, that black thing over there doesn't look like the wreckage of a space battleship? In the crew compartment, the exclamation of the army squad woke Yun from his contemplation, and Yun's eyes couldn't help but look at the El Niño floating islands.

"Computer, scan the wreckage area!" Before Yun could speak, He's order came. There is no dissatisfaction with He doing this, because the order is not wrong, and what He said is what Yun will do.

“…… Detection revealed that the wreckage belonged to the Tanuki 6 probe, and the words of the semi-intelligent assistant program were transmitted.

"Let's fly, quick!" He was a little impatient.

"Wait a minute, find a place to stop and scan the surroundings carefully to see if there's a monitor or something. Pay attention to concealment, and at the same time convey the order to prepare for the capsule to the army team" Yun directly interrupted He's words and began to give orders.

"The detector was actually found in the fourth district, it's not very far from the base, it's better to be cautious" Seeing He's face a little ugly, Yun explained.

"It's me who was reckless, and then your orders shall prevail" He is not a stingy person, he reacted immediately after a little anger, and he was ashamed and knew the reason for Cheng Mingli's arrangement. Compared with Yun, his temperament is really not calm enough, and he is even very impatient.

The wreckage area is widely distributed, and a significant amount of radiation residue can be detected in a large part of the area, which is the radiation produced by the explosion of the fusion reactor. In the center of the floating island is a very large hole, hundreds of meters in diameter, which resembles an asteroid impact crater. But judging by the degree of crystallization on its surface, the rock in this place was melted by the high temperatures generated by the explosion of the fusion reactor.

The "No Monitoring Signal Detected" semi-intelligent assistant program sent the final confirmation message after careful detection for two minutes.

"What do you think? Need to land on a floating island and explore? Yun couldn't make up his mind.

"Of course we should go, this is our first mission, and it is also the safest mission at the moment, it is much more convenient to move here, after all, even on the floating island, you can feel the gravitational environment, and the devil knows what will happen when you get to space" He agreed very much with going out to investigate.

"According to the principle of optimization and safety, the computer agrees with the opinion of the co-captain" The semi-intelligent assistant program also gave its own rational judgment.

"Let's lean up carefully, find a gentle and hidden place to stop, and let the landing team members prepare to leave the warehouse......" (To be continued.) )
