Chapter 880: The Star River

In the vastness of space, a spaceship of the Federation Dragon Continent is flying at its highest cruising speed. Xuan

The passage between Azure Star and Alien Star is not always fixed. Because blue stars and alien stars are constantly orbiting the sun, and they are also being carried by the sun at a speed of 250 kilometers per second, moving around the super gravitational source at the center of the Milky Way, and even the entire galaxy is in a state of motion, and will collide with the Andromeda galaxy in about 4.5 billion years.

But after all these years of flying in the shipping lanes between the two planets, there is little need to worry about safety anymore. Of course, it is impossible for interstellar pirates to exist, and a federation in a state of war will not give interstellar pirates the soil to survive at all. For those meteorites that pose the greatest threat to the shipping lane, it is difficult to pose any threat to spaceships and space warships that cannot suddenly change direction to avoid them in front of the detection devices arranged by the Federation that change in sync with the shipping lanes.

Moreover, the universe is really empty.

But at this time, all the crew members in the bridge of this spaceship were nervous, because one of their passengers was about to disembark halfway, and he was the most important passenger on this spaceship, and even in the whole Federation at this time.

Whether it is the "disembarkation" itself or the identity of the disembarker, it makes this matter sound a little unbelievable. It's like a federal president flying on a civilian airliner, carrying a parachute bag and parachuting in the stratosphere.

"Airlock venting is complete."

"Ready to open the airlock hatch, check to confirm that it's ongoing, check complete." Xuan

"Commander Ji, please make the final confirmation."

Ji Xinghe, who was already in the airlock cabin, was still in the body of Champion Hou, and he had not told anyone except Ji Rong Xinyue and Xingyue until now that he could pull out those wrist touches that had taken root in his body. In fact, after more than half a year in the past, even Ji Rong Xinyue and Xingyue were not sure if Ji Xinghe, who had been carrying out high-frequency gifts for such a long time, would be able to pull out those wrist touches as before.

It's just that Ji Xinghe has not confirmed any treatment plan, so this matter has to be shelved, and the relevant parties are ready to wait for Ji Xinghe to return to Azure Star before starting to solve it. Of course, the premise must be to follow Ji Xinghe's wishes.

Unlike when the Battle of the Mountains of the Gods had just ended, the Champion Hou had completed the restoration and existed in a new state, just like when it had just been created. The entire body is still painted gold, and it is dotted with many red five-pointed stars, which looks dazzling.

Shen Mu had suggested before that the Champion Hou's livery should be replaced with red, the red of the five-pointed star, because Ji Xinghe had passed the period of wearing gold armor, and the number of red five-pointed stars he had captured, if according to the normal calculation method of mecha warriors, would definitely be enough to paint the body of the champion Hou.

It's just that what color the mecha is now has no meaning for Ji Xinghe, and it also doesn't mean anything to those who know that Champion Hou is the mecha used by Ji Xinghe. For the Empire, that's even more so. Therefore, the painting method was determined in the same way as before.

In terms of appearance, the champion Hou has not changed much, but the inside has been comprehensively upgraded to adapt to those biological tissues that have real activity. Not to mention, the most important upgrade is in the energy core, in addition to the nuclear fusion reactor, there is also a full energy Saint Crystal (one of the ten used by Emperor Wu III to exchange for Aida Kang), and the Saint Crystal energy drive device created by Shen Mu and Xingyue in conjunction with the Federal Academy of Sciences. Xuan

The Saint Crystal that Ji Xinghe used in the Battle of the Gods Mountain had completely depleted his energy, which was the reason why he was able to perform eighteen hours of uninterrupted grace every day and stabilize the eighth stage realm.

However, under normal circumstances, the Saint Crystal Energy Core similar to Emperor Jia will not be used, and Ji Xinghe currently does not have a clear grasp of the ability of Saint Crystal Energy to fight and cultivate, this Saint Crystal and the transformation carried out in order to adapt to the Champion Hou are mainly aimed at making Ji Xinghe familiar, research, trying, and, if necessary, burning Ji Xinghe's life.

Emperor Wu III has a spaceship from the Third Civilization, and the top echelons of the Federation already know about it, and they all think that Emperor Wu III has completed the repair of that spaceship. In this case, there is one more reason why Ji Xinghe has to go back to Azure Star.

It is the last line of defense, and it is also the bodyguard and escort of some people. If Ji Xinghe doesn't come back, they won't be at ease. When they are not at ease, how can they support the military's preparations for war? If you don't compete for resources to make an interstellar-class spaceship and run away, you are already very restrained.

With these upgrades, Ji Xinghe is not worried about his own safety.

"Confirm."

After the command was finally confirmed, the airlock cabin entered the countdown to opening, and as the hatch really opened, the dark and deep space scene appeared in Ji Xinghe's sight, and he didn't mean to appreciate it, but flew directly towards the darkness. Xuan

Flying indeed.

On the alien surface, the propulsion engine can only enhance the ability of Champion Hou to leap, and in the space environment, it can give Champion Hou the ability to fly. But this is still a long way from the propulsion engine used in the Imperial Armor deliberately shown to Ji Xinghe by Emperor Wu III, and the Federal Academy of Sciences determined that the propulsion engine used in the Imperial Armor is not a chemical fuel propulsion engine through the study of video footage, which means that in terms of energy engines, the Empire is actually ahead of the Federation.

If the chemical fuel propulsion engine is used, the Federation can also make the mecha fly in the blue star and alien environment, but this powerful way of flying bricks has very, very little development prospects in the space environment. Because whether it is a mecha or a single starship, or a spaceship or a space battleship, the fuel that can be carried is limited, and the interstellar scale is unlimited.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology can provide energy on a scale far greater than the amount of chemical fuel that the relevant units can carry. In this case, energy thruster technology is crucial.

Where did the Empire's energy thruster technology, which was ahead of the Federation, come from? To what extent is it applied? And how far ahead?

In the process of flying away from the airlock of the spaceship, Ji Xinghe had this problem in his mind, he didn't need to operate the champion Hou, because Xingyue took over this task.

Champion Hou flew smoothly to the outer bulkhead of the spaceship, and then stepped on the two gaps with great precision, and the gaps then closed on their own, and the cards were tightly closed. Xuan

The safety rope connecting the champion Hou and the spaceship airlock cabin was then untied and recovered, and the champion Hou standing horizontally on the outer bulkhead of the spaceship looked like a stab, compared to the size of the spaceship, the eight-meter-high spur was already very intimidating, and when this spur was forged from tungsten steel, it was simply indestructible.

But if there is a collision between spaceships, there is not much point in terms of the high speed that both sides must maintain. In the case of similar armor thickness, almost all of them end up together.

"Starriver! Set sail!"

Xingyue's slightly excited voice sounded in Ji Xinghe's ears, and then the "Xinghe" attached to the outer bulkhead of this spaceship broke away from the hull of the ship on its own, but it was miraculous that it maintained the exact same speed as the spaceship without starting the propulsion engine.

Inertia is easy to say, but it is not easy, which is why Xingyue needs to take over the operation authority.

When the two were separated, the "Xinghe" in Xingyue's mouth finally appeared on the big screen in the spaceship bridge as one with the champion Hou, which was the first time people saw the "Xinghe" in its full form.

It sounds like a space battleship, but it's not even a spaceship, and it's very different from individual starships and other Federation space vehicles. Because the Galaxy doesn't have a cockpit, it doesn't even have a cabin structure. Xuan

The whole is like a shuttle, with a length of only 9.35 meters, a width of only 3.92 meters, and a thickness of only 1.27 meters, which raises the height of the champion Hou who stepped on it to more than eight meters.

This form doesn't look like a flying device at all, especially if you "ride" and "drive" by stepping on it with a mecha

, the original design that is not very aerodynamic in the first place, becomes even more inconsistent.

However, as a device that only flies in space, there is really no need to be careful about aerodynamics. There is no air resistance, no gravity, and the effect of gravity can be ignored when flying outside the gravitational range of the planet.

The main propulsion engine is located at the tail end of the bobbin, and if the champion Hou turns around, the main propulsion engine seems to be at the front end. It looks like the engines of those fighter jets on the Azure Star have been dismantled separately and changed into a fusiform form.

But the people in the bridge of the spaceship, as well as the people in the bridges of the other five spaceships in the communication range, did not think that the "Starriver" was simple. Like a one-piece appearance, it looks like it has a different kind of beauty, and combined with the "strongest mecha of the Federation" champion Hou standing on it at this time, it gives people an extremely quiet sense of violence.

When Ji Xinghe was in the cockpit of Champion Hou, Champion Hou was the strongest mecha in the Federation in people's hearts.

"It doesn't look like a flying machine or something, it looks like a ......."

"Edgeworth Flying?"

"Yes, yes, it's Edgeworth's flight."

"The old man didn't hold a weapon, but it would be more handsome if he held it in his hand at this time."

"It seems that the champion Hou is only equipped with four war swords, if he can be equipped with another long weapon, then he is really handsome when he holds it in his hand at this time."

"When it comes to long weapons, do you mean super electromagnetic snipers?"

"Isn't it an electromagnetic sniper rifle for mechs?"

"That gun is more than five meters long, it's still so thick, it really doesn't look like a gun at all, I think it should be more appropriate to call it a cannon, Colonel Chen Xun's gun is not called a cannon." Xuan

"Yes, but it's still more handsome to pick up cold weapons, and it's a little weird to fly with an electromagnetic cannon and a sword."

"It's really weird to fly on the Galaxy with a cold weapon."

The people in the bridges were eagerly discussing, and their eyes were full of worry when they looked at the big screen. In the galaxy, which has not been publicly tested before, the first public use is that Ji Xinghe came in person, and people actually can't accept it.

But this is the will of Ji Xinghe, so people can only agree and pray.

The same picture can be seen, and a minute later, the Alien Theater Command, the Nantianmen Command and other units, their eyes are different from the eyes of the people in the bridge of the six spaceships, although they have the same worries, but more are still eager and expectant.

The Galaxy is important, not only for tactical value, but also for strategic value in certain situations.

Although the battle between space warships in the space of the universe cannot rely on the battle of the ancient navy to achieve the final victory or defeat like the battle on the sea in ancient times. Almost all of them are separated by at least thousands of kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers, with missiles, electromagnetic guns and other weapons as a combat method, and the Federation's Dongfeng-520 missiles can even hit moving targets more than 200,000 kilometers away. Xuan

Whichever side can figure out the opponent's trajectory and break through the opponent's interception will be able to win.

However, when the Federation mastered the energy main gun technology with a temporarily limited attack range, as well as the energy shield technology available to space warships, the possibility of broadside combat was greatly improved.

Counting on ordinary soldiers or elite soldiers of the Mobile Special Combat Team to play a vital role in the broadside combat between space warships, it is better to expect the Federation to further improve the technology of the energy main gun, so that the attack range can be greatly increased.

The strongest individual weapon mecha on the surface of the earth has naturally been mentioned to the level of space warfare, which is also one of the main reasons why the Federation wants to form four orbital airborne mecha legions. However, the Federation's mechas, except for a limited number of them, do not have the structure of propulsion engines, and it is impossible to add propulsion engine devices to all the mechs that are mainly used on the surface battlefield.

Moreover, even the mecha with propulsion engines, such as the Champion Hou, Overlord A, Glory A, and Allure A, cannot let their pilots have the speed to match the space battle in space.

A combat ring without gravity

In the realm, if one is not careful, he will fly to the boundless depths of the universe, and it is very difficult to survive, let alone return to the battlefield that may be moving at high speed?

Mecha kits like the Galaxy were born in response to demand. Xuan

The people on the alien planet, watching the champion Hou piloted by Ji Xinghe, stepping on the Xinghe like a flying sword in the story of cultivating immortals, gradually distanced themselves from the spaceship he had just left, and many of them were envious.

"The pace remains at the expected level."

"The Galaxy has not deviated from its course at the moment, and its flight direction remains stable and its horizontal direction remains stable."

"The Galaxy began to pick up speed, approaching the target ship at the same time."

「……」

One by one, the prompts that made people gradually relax were getting closer and closer, and the Xinghe was getting closer and closer to the second spaceship that Ji Xinghe was going to take on, and there were many people on that spaceship who had returned to the Azure Star to take turns and would return to the alien planet to participate in the war, and Ji Xinghe was going to give them gifts.

"Lord, do you want to test it?" Xingyue said with some excitement, "Don't worry, I've tested it many times, and it's absolutely fine." Xuan

Ji Xinghe groaned slightly, it is necessary to test Xinghe, but now......

"Wait until the gift is done, or they should be nervous again."

Xingyue comprehends.

"I know, but they're definitely not just nervous, they're scared, hahaha...... For the sake of Shin Shin's face, we won't scare them, and Shin Shin in the province is also worried about you."

I will only worry about Ji Xinghe, I won't worry about Xingyue, in the case of no restrictions on communication, Xingyue is only operating remotely, and has not really come to Champion Hou or Xinghe.

The process was indeed as Xingyue assured, there were no problems, and the Galaxy successfully completed the rendezvous with another spaceship on board Ji Xinghe, and attached to the spacecraft without a hardpoint design with great precision.

This shows that the Galaxy has the ability to forcibly attach itself to any spaceship or space battleship. Xuan

Although the Empire's spaceships and warships will definitely not let the Galaxy complete the attachment so easily, let alone let the Galaxy appear near the airlock hatch so easily, but the champion Hou with weapons in hand, where does he need any hatch.

Moreover, the Galaxy itself is a weapon, a very powerful weapon.

The hatch of the spaceship opened, Champion Hou flew into it, the airlock compartment filled with air, and Ji Xinghe completed a special interstellar flight.

The whole process was seen by many people, and people imagined the picture of the Federation's mecha warriors piloting a flying device similar to the Star River between the space warships.

The whole picture of the first public use of the Xinghe was also seen by Emperor Wu III.

It smiled and said to Adakon, "You see, they are really afraid of us, and they gave us such information without asking for anything."

Adacom didn't care about this ridiculous threat, it already knew how fast the spaceship was and how strong its defenses were. Xuan

Ji Xinghe? The Galaxy?

What if you can fight again? How about flying in space and looking handsome? If you can't catch up at all, what's the difference between it and a clown?

It was concerned about only one thing, frowning and saying, "When exactly are you going to use that ship?" The Federation, it has been confirmed that they are coming to our planet, do you really want to fight them on our planet? Don't forget, the Federation has more nuclear weapons than we do. Moreover, that Tu Yuan will definitely not care about the ban that can't slaughter our civilians, I know him, he is more ruthless than Ji Xinghe!"

Emperor Wu III kept smiling, and replied in a chattering voice, "If you don't get a new life in the ashes, then you will perish with the ashes, Federation, Empire, hehe......
