Chapter 424: Lightyear
The aesthetics of violence is explained in the eyes of Xiao Kaitian in this way, violence and science bring beauty.
So when the new Squirrel and Giant Cannon version of the battleship came out, Xiao Kaitian cheered, while Li Ruobai resolutely opposed it. Li Ruobai's objection is very reasonable.
The new version of the starship is still based on the destroyer's main gun system as a platform, which is the point of Li Ruobai's objection. Because all the equipment was built around the main guns removed from the destroyer. This made it difficult for Li Ruobai, who had undergone strict starship design training, to accept that the main gun was placed on the platform, which was the basis of all designs, rather than wrapping the platform on the main gun.
Another problem is that this so-called starship only has firepower and maneuverability, but does not have the slightest protection. Even if Chu Jungui reserved the position of the shield on both sides, the shield was pitifully weak, and at most it could withstand a bombardment from the frigate's main gun. And if the opponent is a destroyer, it can't even withstand a single shot.
There is no mastermind in the starship, and under normal circumstances, the mastermind is served by Kaitian. Kaitian is much more powerful than the heavy Cambrian, and it has almost no weight, which can slightly improve the maneuverability of the starship. When Kaitian is not around, it is controlled by a miniature masterbrain composed of several silk amber chips.
After the basic design was completed, Chu Jungui carried out another bottomless weight loss, and brought the anti-human design to the fullest.
"Are you going to let me sit on a chair for a month?" asked Li Ruobai, pointing to the cockpit.
"There won't be a month, we can only last 24 days with fuel at the moment. Chu Jungui replied very seriously.
"24 hours is too long, you have to put a bed, you have to have entertainment, right?" Li Ruobai was already about to roar.
"There's no gravity, no need for a bed. As for entertainment, well, let Kaitian make a game for you to play and train your shooting. ”
Li Ruobai completely lost his temper, and shook his head again and again, "It's unladylike when you meet someone, it's unladylike when you meet someone!"
In any case, under this line of thinking, the construction speed of the new starship was far beyond the limit, and it was completed in just one week. Because the new starship uses standard destroyer main guns, it is more than 50 meters long, and it is finally barely out of the ranks of fighters, but it is still a little far from the gunboat.
The starship is equipped with 8 grain power furnaces as the main power, and the large and small engines are removed from the destroyer. In this way, under strong power, the agility of the starship is no less than that of a first-class fighter.
Although the Skyware Fleet has been evacuated, there is still the Ninth Fleet in charge of containment in the theater, including two mobile bases and an asteroid base. Therefore, Li Ruobai believes that trade is not only important, but also imperative. Both sites are now working to increase their production capacity for metallic hydrogen. Crystalline metal hydrogen not only has good physical characteristics, but also contains ultra-high energy, the explosion power per unit mass is hundreds of times that of biomass gunpowder, and is a common raw material for all kinds of starship weapons and ammunition. It is also a common fuel for space missiles and torpedoes.
For the sake of trade, Chu Jungui and Kaitian specially designed transport ships. This kind of transport ship is a flying container, which does not need a driver, and is driven by Xiao Kaitian's doppelganger every day. It is high-speed and flexible, and has a certain degree of autonomous intelligence, it will automatically follow the main ship, and when it encounters danger, it will run away on its own, and then come back to meet when the danger has passed.
When the starship and transport ship were all built, Li Ruobai looked at the starship in front of him and said, "Now that we have a base, even a starship, shouldn't we give ourselves a name?"
"Name?"
"Of course! Otherwise, how will you introduce yourself when you go out in the future? If you win a battle, you must let the enemy know who you are defeated! If you want to make the enemy frightened, you must have a name. ”
The name of this kind of thing, the art component immediately volunteered. Chu Jungui agreed with the idea of giving it a try.
The art component immediately gives a series of names with mighty and domineering as the core point: Gathering Stars, Bright Stars, Destroying Stars, Swallowing Stars, Shattering Stars, Destroying Stars, Striking Stars, Stealing Stars, Blowing Stars, Steaming Stars, Boiling Stars......
Chu Jungui's face was expressionless, and he opened the political component again. The political component gives such as Wushuang, Weiyuan, Heaven Destroying, Earthquake World, Demon Slayer, and God Punishment...... And so on and so forth. The latter string is said to be borrowed from religious overtones.
Finally it was the turn of tactical deception.
It is always eclectic, and it shows the unscrupulous style of achieving the end: I am weak, I can't beat you, don't shoot, I don't have shells in my cannon......
Chu Jungui finally understood that naming was a problem for the three major components.
Holding on to the last hope, Chu Jungui started metaphysics, and then he got it: Xuanzhi Xuanzhi, the door of all wonders...... Without waiting for the list to be released, Chu Jungui closed the metaphysics.
Li Ruobai saw that Chu Jungui was silent, and asked, "What, have you thought about it?" ”
Chu Jun returned and said, "Light years." ”
"Lightyear, why is it called that?"
"If anything happens to you, within a light year, I will come. Chu Jungui said casually.
Li Ruobai snorted and said, "Isn't it that I'm 1.1 light years away from you, so you won't come?"
Chu Jungui laughed and said, "Just give me a name, why don't you say that I am 0.9 light years away, and I will definitely come?"
Li Ruobai snorted, "If it's Sister Xi, I think it's 3,000 light years away, and you will rush over." ”
"If there is a task, it will go. Chu Jungui said calmly.
"Do you still need to have a mission to go? Could it be that robbing marriage back then was also a mission?"
"Yes, definitely. "Chu Jungui told the truth.
Li Ruobai naturally didn't believe it, but thought he was hard-mouthed. He opened his personal terminal, projected a map of galaxies, and said, "Now that the name is known, we have to figure out what to do." We now have two bases, and we can also freely pass through storm clouds, and the consumption is acceptable, and the destroyer still has 70% of its parts still unfinished. In my opinion, the next priority is to establish a stable relationship with the Ninth Fleet, or at least to be able to sell supplies. ”
Chu Jungui nodded.
"If we want to open up the trade lane, we need to take out the Federation's patrol ships near the planet. Last time I saw it, the patrol forces are mostly single ships, and only frigates, and we are not without opportunities. If you can sneak attack, you can hit hard with one shot. Defeating the patrol can also prevent the Federation from resupplying or landing further on Planet 4, so it kills two birds with one stone. ”
"Yes, I like sneak attacks!"
In this way, the first combat meeting after the formation of the Lightyear Legion was completed by two people floating in space.
The strategy was established, Chu Jungui and Li Ruobai did not return to the planet, they directly activated the starship and went to ambush near the patrol route of the Federation. The two didn't wait long before they saw the Federation patrol starship appear slowly.
As soon as Chu Jungui's mind moved, the starship was fully powered, and rushed up to the patrol boat like a cannonball!
