After the meeting, Yu Lian went straight to the No. 4 Dockyard of the Fortress of Gibraltar, accompanied by Luo Zeshi, Anne... and a ghostly figure behind the scenes that only he could see.
The main function here is the fleet aircraft carrier base and maintenance platform. As you can imagine, in addition to the huge apron, there is also a dedicated maintenance and repair department for assault landing craft, sublight speed interceptors, orbital bombers, etc.
Maintenance of small attack units. It even includes related factories that can produce various consumables, including small shields and energy weapons.
Now, the apron of the No. 4 dock is already filled with spindle-shaped small ships. Their size is about 1.5 times the size of standard assault landing craft, and there are more than 200 of them.
One of them is a ship with the hull number NDL0001, and the overall paint is silver gray. The side with the hull number is painted with a crown and skull painting, and the other side has a galaxy vortex-shaped crash mark. This is comparable to that of an ace pilot.
The 5 and 10 stars are much rarer. It means that this small boat killed a space Leviathan that would at least bring about a galaxy-level "natural disaster".
Needless to say, these small boats in front of us are none other than the New Shenzhou 1 and its "descendants".
The tarmac was extremely busy at this time, as if it was a huge construction site.
Engineers, mechanics, and pilots circled up and down their ships. Human-operated semi-automatic equipment, or unmanned engineering heirs, shuttled non-stop through the passage between the boats, making sharp beeps.
.
Yu Lian quickly found a big fat man in the crowd who was sweating profusely. The dust on his face was so covered that even his face could not be seen clearly, and his thick work clothes were also full of stains and heat from the electric fire.
The burn marks make it look like it just crawled out of a fire scene.
But even so, those small eyes were full of light, and the whole person exuded a lively and energetic look. If it wasn't Essen French, who could it be?
Of course, the father of the Light Wings is no longer the transparent technical geek he was back then. He is now the top technical master of the Blue Star community. If he wants to serve, he can become a second-level sergeant in minutes.
Even the above positions.
Now, he was accompanied by several mechanics and sergeants whose average age was at least one round older than him, climbing up and down around a Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
This Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is obviously new from the factory, and it doesn't even have the hull number on it yet.
When Aisen crawled out from under Hubaoqi's belly with his 200-pound body, he looked up and saw Yu Lian, who was folding his hands and looking at him.
He got up, rubbed his hands, and said carefully: "Sir? Your Excellency? Boss?"
"I've already said that next time you call the boss, I'll greet you with a big ear." Yu Liang just finished saying this angrily, and he immediately saw the big white fat man's narrow smile, and he immediately became happy.
"Well, a mere technical geek can actually tell jokes. Of course it's a good thing that your sense of humor has improved. If you have to improve your sense of humor next time, it's got to be your taste, right?"
Of course it is a good thing that the sense of humor has increased. This shows that Mr. French has gained confidence from his real achievements, and has clearly gained some aura and other rather metaphysical things. As a result, people's mentality will become more relaxed and free.
This is of course a good thing for technical workers.
In a sense, scientists and psychics are the same. They must have absolute confidence in themselves in order to truly expand the boundaries of truth.
"Captain, long time no see." Eisen French said.
"It looks like we're all fine."
The two laughed and hugged each other. Speaking of which, among Yu Lian's core friends, the first one he personally pulled aboard was this fat white tech geek who always had some filters.
"How is the situation? Are our riders fully prepared?" Yu Lianxiao asked.
The big white fat man opened his mouth, showing a row of teeth, and gave a thumbs up.
At this moment, Yu Lian looked at this fat young man, at the 25-year-old Essen French with his head held high and confident, and looking around, he saw him at the age of 45.
Of course, that was the future in another timeline, when he became the Director of Arms of the Volunteer Army and the Chief Engineer of the Liberty Princess.
"The 188 Hubao Cavalry and 45 Beiwei are fully ready for deployment. In addition, according to your request, the jump engine on the Tiger and Pao Cavalry has also been installed."
Yu Lian suddenly showed a bright smile: "Okay, what a double happiness!"
Of course, the person who answered him this time was not Franky, but a familiar but long-lost female voice.
Yu Lian looked along the sound, and what he saw was a delicate and beautiful face. It was none other than Miss Ye Zhixia Ye, the current administrator of Lumina Planet and the youngest "ball leader" of the Blue Star Community.
Speaking of which, because I have an overly delicate face with oval seeds and sharp-lined phoenix eyes, I belong to the type of person who can go directly to the movie to play the role of a witch who brings disaster to the country without makeup. Even if she wears a military uniform, she still looks a bit flashy, so
Only then did she lose miserably to Feifei in the school beauty selection that year.
However, in the past few years, as she has grown up, her aura has become more and more full, and she even has a bit of dignity.
"Huh? Zhixia? You are actually here?"
The smile on Ye Zhixia's face suddenly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she said with a straight face and a business-like tone:
"Huh, Commander Yu, maybe you don't know, right? Your subordinate is also the Secretary-General of the Military Mobilization Command of the Far Coast Sector, and is mainly responsible for communicating with the theater headquarters. This batch of lightning strike ships came from the New Seville Shipyard and
It was completed by the Shenzhou Shipyard and delivered by me personally. Why can’t I be here?”
"Lightning strike ship?"
"Yes. Mr. Qi's official name for this type of warship has of course not yet been approved by the National Defense Committee, but don't you think it's very appropriate?"
Of course, Yu Lian did think it was quite appropriate. Although the battleships with the word "Lightning Strike" on them were short-lived, after all, this happened in his first life. As for his third life... maybe it would be the same.
It may be a short-lived species, but this depends on the development progress of the new fighter aircraft. Before that, we should try our best to squeeze out its vitality.
Thinking of this, Yu Lian reached out and patted the armor of the airship in front of him, and looked at the Pioneer Party's chief tech tycoon Aisen with piercing eyes, making the latter shudder.
Miss Ye Zhixia muttered in a voice that almost only she could hear: "Tsk, what a heartless bitch."
"Haha~~~" Anne Romanova laughed three times with a smooth pronunciation.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhixia asked.
"I'm laughing, you actually expect this guy to have such a luxury as a conscience. Did you know that the first thing we did when we met was to let him drive a small boat to attack the enemy's fortress?" Anne said.
I pretended I didn't hear it.
He clearly heard Luo Zeshi's inaudible laughter behind him, but of course he pretended that he didn't hear it.
Sure enough, the most reliable person at this time was the simple and strong Eisen French. He reported again: "The nano repair ship and supply ship you requested are also ready."
Nano repair ships were naturally introduced from the Iron Army Complex. This masterpiece of Palladium robotics technology indeed made great contributions in last year's New World War. Adding one or two more nano repair ships to the large fleet will have a huge impact on the main force.
There is no convincing increase in the combat effectiveness of the ship, but it has a very significant bonus to the survivability of small and medium-sized battleships, assault ships, assault landing craft, individual fighter planes, etc.
Of course, according to a certain civilization that guides intelligent nanorobots, what kind of "nano" is a robot that can even be seen with the naked eye? It is better to say it is a "nano maintenance ship" than a "small maintenance robot mothership."
.
Yu Lian felt that Xiao Hui’s words were a bit much. Who said there must be fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork?
The Palladium people of the Iron Army Complex are resisting the pressure of this era and making steady progress towards real "nano machines". Don't you want others to use this concept in advance and advertise it a little bit?
Besides, since you, Xiao Hui, are so disdainful, is there any more advanced technology for reference? You are not allowed to say "prohibited matters". If you say "prohibited matters", I will treat you as a loser.
So, Miss Gray just smiled, put her finger in front of her lips, and said with a smile: "This is a regulatory matter that requires certain conditions to be unlocked. As for how to unlock it, I just won't tell you."
...In short, the nano-maintenance ships of the Iron Army Complex are indeed high-quality and low-priced products. Therefore, at the beginning of this year, the Blue Star Community introduced two more ships from the Iron Army Complex, and they were both included in the outer ring fleet.
The flags were named "Himalaya" and "Rocky" respectively.
For this battle, Admiral Bonaparte immediately allocated the "Himalaya" and placed it under the unified command of Yu Company.
Speaking of which, two years ago, the first batch of two battleships of the same class sold to the community by the Iron Army Complex also participated in the expedition to the New World. One of them, the "Barisan", should have died in the Miracle along with the main force of the expedition fleet.
Circle. Another ship, the "Tianshan", has been stationed near Eunomia. I hope it can survive safely.
However, following Akinayama Hachiman, the energetic glasses brother, the chance of survival is still very high.
On this side, Essen French continued: "I have adjusted the control standards of the Himalaya. When passing through the Santu Galaxy, at least each speedboat can ensure that more than 100 robots are on standby at any time."
In this way, the fleet's influence from bad astrological conditions will be reduced to a minimum.
"Comrade Aisen is indeed a reliable and good comrade." Yu Lian shook French's hand vigorously and said to Ye Zhixia: "So, Miss Secretary-General, can I board the ship for inspection?"
If there were no outsiders present, Ye Zhixia would have said a few words, but after all, she was not an unreasonable little fairy. She just threw a sanitary eye covertly, and then quickly squeezed out an impeccable official smile.
, leading the way ahead.
They did not board the nano repair room and supply ship in the distance, but went straight to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry No. DD0001.
"This is the No. 1 Haw Par Cavalry 2 ship, with the hull number being Dawn Dragon No. 1..."
Aisen was excitedly preparing to introduce, but was interrupted by Yu Lian expressionlessly: "Change it immediately. I don't want it. It sounded like this. It made me tremble and have goosebumps all over my body. I got the shameful nickname of "Second Er"
.It’s okay to call it Hongfeng No. 1, Laborer No. 1 or New China No. 3.”
Eisen nodded and said he remembered.
On the other hand, Zhixia behind her suddenly turned pale and shaky, as if she had received a huge blow: "My, my body is shaking? Chicken, goosebumps..."
If Annie hadn't given her a hand, this girl would have collapsed on the ground and cried loudly at any time.
It was you who came up with the name Co-author!
"According to your request, this type of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has removed the small rail gun and phase ion cannon, leaving only four Tulon 2 turbo laser groups." Eisen introduced.
The so-called Tulon Type 2 is a blaster cannon group that uses Tulon gears as its mechanical core. Its stability and accuracy are the best in the galaxy among similar products.
Of course, we all know that the Tulon gear is actually the design of Claire Belmont, and Yu Lian would not think that that guy would keep it secret from his "workmates" who are really working for the Tulon factory. However, before the alliance comes up with new products
, this kind of turbine cannon group is the first in the galaxy.
"By using only this type of weapon, we can save a lot of design redundancy and install a jump engine. We can even install a few more torpedoes. I even considered adding a space bubble generator." Ai
Sen French laughed.
"Go for it! As long as you don't consider putting a sauna on it, everything is fine. Of course, after this battle."
French said, "I have completed the modifications for the New Shenzhou 2 and all the ships of the Cang Ai Brigade."
The so-called Cang Ai Brigade is the code name of the new formation of the 16 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry ships that returned home with the Lord God class. After all, there are now more warships of the same type in the fleet, so it is natural to regroup.
Since it is the ship brought back by the Fuxi, it is of course reasonable to call it Cangxi.
Yu Lian nodded, sat down directly in the driver's seat, then opened the ship's control terminal with quick movements and began to check.
His action seemed to represent a signal. The friends behind him were all human beings. They all understood something immediately, but for a while they didn't know how to speak.
Finally, everyone's attention was focused on Luo Zeshi. After all, this guy is Yu Lian's real lieutenant.
The latter coughed helplessly, and just about to speak, Yu Lian asked first: "How is the effect of the jump test? Beiwei has proven it in actual combat, so what about the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"
Currently, the light-wing lightning strike boats derived from New Shenzhou 1 and 2 have been divided into two models, namely the "Hubaoqi" and "Beiwei".
The total mass of the former is only about 70% of the latter, and its size is also slightly shorter.
Functionally speaking, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is not equipped with a jump engine and needs to follow the mothership. However, it is more maneuverable and flexible and can also perform the tasks of sublight speed interceptors and orbital bombers.
As for Beiwei, it is basically the size of a standard assault ship, so it has always been recognized as an assault ship by most countries. Because it is equipped with a new type of turbine laser unit with Tulon gear as the core bearing, they can also
Like a standard assault ship, it can perform air defense, main cover, penetration and even gang-hopping missions.
For this raid, the sixteen "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" ships in the first echelon of the attack were all equipped with small jump engines in advance, and preliminary tests were also conducted.
Looking at Frankie's current appearance, it's obvious that the test results should be gratifying.
"It has been tested. During the jump, if the space bubble generator is started at the same time, the mass fluctuation reaction will be minimized, so low that it is almost imperceptible. Coupled with the 'New Yumen No. 16 Special Paint', the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will proceed again
When sailing silently, it is difficult for the enemy fleet to detect it."
