Chapter 47: Acting Captain
"There's only one minute left......"
The non-commissioned officer in charge of the scanning's pale face turned iron-blue, and he had already calculated the time when the battleship hit the meteorite belt.
Noam stood up suddenly, "There's still time!" Give me the key to control! Authorities are prepared to implement standard circumvention procedures......"
"Calm down." Meng Tian glanced at him lightly and made a conversion of the last variable.
How to calm down at this time! If you don't act, you will definitely die! There is not even a glimmer of life.
I only heard the countdown that the scanning non-commissioned officer kept saying, "Fifty-three seconds......
"All note, the autopilot system is offline, switched, and manually driven."
Manual driving? Everyone was stunned, and they felt a cold breath coming, subconsciously, they acted according to the order, not moving, just waiting for death, at this moment, there was no time to think about it, everyone instinctively chose to carry out the order, this is the role of repeated training and repetition of soldiers, and you can't rely on your brain at a critical time.
"The autonomous driving is offline, the manual driving is online, and it is done."
Click, the manual driving system popped out in front of Meng Tian.
"Don't stop counting."
The scanning non-commissioned officer was stunned for a moment before continuing to count down in a trembling voice.
Forty-seven seconds!
Noem trembled, "You're crazy! There is still the possibility of avoiding autonomous driving......"
In the command cabin, more than half of the people who thought the same as him, but at this time, the order issued from the captain's position was an absolute order, even if it was a mistake, it was to send them to death, and if they didn't carry it out, even if they survived in the end, the end would not be better than dying here.
Soldiers, obeying orders is their duty.
In a fleet sailing in unknown deep space, this phrase. is the most basic rule, the captain is the king, life and death.
"The weapon system is activated, and the twelve secondary guns in the bow of the ship are charged." Meng Tian ignored Noam's screams, or rather, this time. She couldn't hear any extra noise at all, her voice was calm and clear, and even this coldness was enough for everyone to feel.
Her gaze was locked to the telescope image in the viewfinder window, and in her calmness, with the light of calculation and X ability, flashed in her eyes.
"In the bow, twelve secondary guns are being charged. Five, four, three, two, one, charge complete. ”
The confirmation of the non-commissioned officer of the weapons.
"Thirty seconds ......" and the countdown of the scanning non-commissioned officer.
Bang...... The battleship was shaking, which was a flaw of manual piloting and could not remain relatively steady.
The whole battleship was alarmed. The soldiers, who did not know the specific situation, quickly followed the training procedures and completed the safety restraint.
But. There was despair in the command compartment of the battleship.
Because Meng Tian's next order is to speed up!
Still want to accelerate?
If you hit a high-speed meteorite at the current speed, the outer energy shield will no longer be able to withstand it, and then accelerate? Is that because I don't think I'm going to die badly?
However, after all, he was a well-trained non-commissioned officer, and Meng Tian's orders as acting captain were still carried out.
"The countdown accelerates. Three...... 2. ......"
The scanning non-commissioned officer recalculated the collision time after acceleration.
Everyone closed their eyes, and outside the viewfinder window, the meteorite could already be seen, which looked far away, but it was only a few blinks of an eye when it hit it.
Rumble......
That's when it happened. The twelve secondary guns in the bow of the ship suddenly opened rhythmic fire.
Everyone felt the violent shaking of the battleship, and the battleship that was speeding up was actually drawing a subtle arc of flight trajectory!
Every time the fire was fired, a meteorite erupted into a violent shock wave, sweeping away a large area of meteorite, dangerous, but also clearing an area free of meteorites.
The battleship was still accelerating, and it plunged into the area that had been blasted open by the high-energy meteorite, and before the meteorite behind it had time to collide, it passed over......
But not all meteorites can be avoided.
Boom Boom Boom ......
Every time it hit, it was like being hit by an Aegis-class main gun, making the battleship creak like ** in trembling.
At this time, there was also a burst of people in the command cabin, but fortunately, they were all elites, and they quickly stabilized their center of gravity.
The shaking could not make Meng Tian have the slightest doppelganger, her hands were constantly controlling the manual driving system, one after another, and every time she controlled it, she was decisive and did not hesitate......
Dodge, detailed trajectories in high-speed movements, every shot calculated to the variable, twelve secondary guns, each fire, are all designed to blast away too deadly meteorites, and the others cannot break the energy shield.
In just a few dozen seconds, everyone calmed down, because they knew what Meng Tian wanted to do, and more importantly, they felt the confidence and control of the battleship exuded by Meng Tian.
The pilot had the feeling of piloting the mecha, and the captain also had the feeling of controlling the battleship, and at this time, Meng Tian seemed to be one with the battleship and rushed towards the meteorite group.
In the face of such an unexpected situation, you can either choose to forcibly avoid it, but the result may be destroyed by a meteorite, or it may be sucked into the star because of the deviation from the orbit, and the frontal speed increase, and there is only one way to live, that is, before the destruction, enter warp speed flight.
Life and death in seconds!
Everyone waited with bated breath, and a little trembling of the hand at this time meant death.
Finally, the long-brewing main artillery attacked, swept away the obstacles in front of them, and in a final fight, there was a larger meteorite group ahead, and the battleship could no longer attack.
"Turn off the energy shield!" Meng Tian said calmly.
The staff on the side were obviously infected by Meng Tian's aura, and they didn't even use their brains to react to the meaning of this sentence.
The energy shield was closed, all the energy was concentrated, the battleship accelerated instantly, and finally sprinted, relative speed, it seemed that everyone saw the huge meteorite and was about to crash them to pieces.
Rumble......
The sky shook for a while, and then the spaceship stabilized, and the voice of the battleship Zhizhi rang out, "The spaceship has entered the warp speed flight state." ”
At this moment, everyone's faces were a little pale, Meng Tian tried her best to calm down, she was the assistant to the captain, and at this moment, everyone could mess up, she couldn't mess up.
"All departments inspect the damage to the battleship, congratulations to all of you, you have successfully experienced a victorious escape, thank you!"
The corners of Meng Tian's mouth actually flashed a smile, and the friends of the entire battleship were stunned, it turned out that she could laugh...... It's still so beautiful......
"The engine energy is slightly damaged, controllable, and the energy is gradually recovering."
"The port side was slightly damaged, and it was repaired within three hours."
…………
Every staff member of the battleship is reporting the situation in an orderly manner, and the captain is the anchor of the battleship, and as a captain, he is also responsible for the entire battleship.
At this moment, Noam finally understood why he could only be the first mate and not the captain.
"Lieutenant Colonel Noam, you'll be in command next." Meng Tian said, don't look at the moment just now, in fact, she was about to collapse.
"Yes, Captain." Noam saluted, this time, from the heart.
In interstellar exploration, there is no absolutely right way, only absolutely correct results.
