Chapter 1637: The expedition ship is too subjective
Chapter 1642: The expedition ship is too subjective
The so-called failure is of course easy to understand. It is just like all other detectors, sinking into the big silver ball of light in the center of the star gate and then emerging from the other side.
The so-called success is, of course, the result of entering the Star Gate and going back and forth. In fact, the successful crew has completed their physical examination and is now on standby in the rest area of the laboratory, ready to accept questions from General Yu at any time.
However, this so-called half time is highly questionable.
"So, that group of ships went there but couldn't come back?" Yu Lian guessed.
Xiaobai nodded, his expression clearly worried, but also full of expectations, and even a hint of pride.
...Well, Yu Lian can't tell how much this child has grown in terms of technology, but he has made rapid progress in terms of facial expressions.
"Are there any of your relatives or friends on the ship?" Yu Lian asked.
If you think about it carefully, the Lao Bai family claims to be the local emperors of New China, but at heart they are still a pioneer family. There is no reason for them to be absent from such a thing.
Sure enough, Luo Zeshi added: "The one that has not returned is the Lone Ranger, and the captain is Colonel Bai Chengyu."
Yu Lian has heard this man's name several times. He is Xiaobai and Tai'a's cousin. He was a quite successful expedition ship captain in his early years and had experience in exploring the New World. Leviathan in Tianshu
After the battle, he returned to his hometown and became an officer of the New China Guard Fleet. He was still very popular among the pioneers and adventurer groups of New China.
As for the "Lone Ranger", it is the ship of the ancestor of the Bai family who discovered New China three hundred years ago. Of course, even in this universe where civilization is stagnant and technological progress is slow, it is impossible for a ship to actually be used
Three hundred years ago. It was passed down from generation to generation, and of course it was just a ship name.
The current ship is already the fourth-generation Maverick. It is an Eternal Wind-class exploration ship produced by the Alliance's Tachyon Power Shipyard. It has a crew of 12 people and is equipped with two light wheels mK9 sublight speed.
engine and an Apostle DF2 jump engine. In this great era, it can already be regarded as a strong one.
As an experienced former adventurer, Colonel Bai Chengyu patted his chest and told everyone that everyone can be intimidated by exploring the Star Gate, but he can never be intimidated and cannot shrink from a step.
Everyone expressed their gratitude to Mr. Bai Jiuye for his great wisdom and courage. I will definitely not fight you over this kind of thing.
However, since it was a navigation test for the Stargate, there was no need for a full crew. Therefore, everyone only brought along the first mate and chief engineer who had been partners for many years, plus two rookies, and set off on the journey.
In addition, of the two cadet soldiers, one was a new lieutenant who had just graduated from the Lunar Military Academy and was officially assigned to the New China Patrol Fleet; the other was a recent graduate of the New Rome Fleet Academy and came to serve as a trainee warrant officer navigator.
All in all, the young and energetic elite talent rookie from a well-known family is paired with the experienced veteran Youzi. This is such a classic setting! Although it is cliché, it fills the sense of story right away!
But, then again, since he has just graduated and is a lieutenant, it means that this young man should be a member of the "Tiger Talisman Group". This can sit in the C position in the "Elite Bureaucratic Group". How could it be possible in the past?
Go to the front line to carry out this kind of life-or-death reconnaissance adventure mission!
Maybe this is the trend started by Horatio and the others? Or maybe it's the change I brought about? Yu Lian thought about this and decided to continue to make himself proud for a minute or two.
"So, it's not what I thought again, is it?" Yu Lian looked at Luo Zeshi.
"I don't know what you are thinking, but they are indeed members of the Lionheart Club." Luo Zeshi looked at the list handed over by Xiaobai: "That Lieutenant Lehman Pirie is still our junior student.
, I just graduated from the Central Defense University last year and participated in the Battle of Tianshu during my internship."
"I've heard of this name. In the Battle of Tianshu, he was the one who killed his own captain and ordered Sentinel 6 not to retreat, right?" Of course Yu Lian had reviewed the entire battle process of the Battle of Tianshu in detail.
, and then I also remembered these names that were just starting out, but yet so popular.
"In fact, this is to clean up battlefield discipline." Luo Zeshi explained: "And the boatswain of Sentinel 6 took action."
"Lieutenant Piri just warned the boatswain to enforce battlefield discipline, right? This is in line with procedural logic, right?" Yu Lian glanced at the other party: "Davari Shiroze
Shit, why are you talking like a robot now?"
Luo Zeshi didn't quite understand what robot meant, but decided not to get to the bottom of it.
Speaking of which, during the Battle of Tianshu, Lieutenant Lehman Pirie was still a warrant officer trainee, but he was able to kill the captain who wanted to escape without hesitation at the most critical moment of the battle, stabilizing the morale of the entire ship.
.Just such decisiveness alone is very brave.
...Of course, it is highly debatable whether it is "the courage of Lord Xinling" or "the courage of Marquis Wen". Because of this, this kind of person should not be welcomed by most department chiefs, right?
But no matter what, as long as such a talent is still in the military, it should be impossible for him to remain unknown in a turbulent era. But in another timeline, Yu Lian has never heard of his name.
But I don’t know whether he died young or whether he didn’t stay in the army at all.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little sad: "A dignified "Tiger Talisman Team" has ended up in the New China Guard Fleet. It sounds like it has suffered a lot."
"Actually, this is Lieutenant Pirie's own request. And Commodore Ducasse, who is guarding the fleet, still appreciates him." Ross said.
"Such top students take the initiative to participate in the border defense construction of the motherland. They are better than those elite bureaucratic officers who only know where they are, sitting in a bright building blowing the air conditioner, eating with silver chopsticks and playing office politics." Yu
Lian continued to praise.
In short, the Lone Ranger is the fourth batch of spacecraft to carry out manned shuttle. The reason why it is not the first batch is because Captain Bai and his team received the news and rushed over from Shanhaiguan, which still took a long time. And
Prior to this, three manned shuttle experiments failed twice, and fifteen unmanned navigation experiments failed ten times.
However, even if it failed, no one was injured. Everyone felt that failure was not actually a risk, but success was more dangerous.
After all, the opposite side is also a galaxy that no one has ever been to. Unknown star conditions, unknown cosmic radiation, unknown dangerous space creatures and alien species on the planet. Of course, it will be even more dangerous if they encounter passing imperial troops.
"That's great!" the experienced Captain Bai said enthusiastically: "I have already reached this age, and I can actually go back to my old job. Let everyone know that what I want to do the most is this.
You’re good at it!”
"It is the captain's job to explore the boundaries of civilization, but it is also the duty of the subordinate to explore the limits of strategic depth. The subordinate will definitely fulfill his duties and do his best to complete the task!" The young and heroic Lieutenant Pirie said so solemnly.
, as if he were a martyr ready to sacrifice at any time.
Everyone feels that the reaction of these people is a bit overreacted. So far, there are really no casualties in the Stargate test. You have made the atmosphere as if you are going to a battlefield. Isn't it a bit exaggerated?
But then, Lieutenant Pirie proposed that the Lone Wanderer could tow containers of equal weight. The containers should preferably include containers for general cargo, sealed boxes for high-risk products, refrigerated boxes for food, and containers for living animals.
Ecological boxes, etc., in short, the more complete the better.
Captain Bai thinks that this young man is braver and crazier than himself. But what he likes most is this kind of brave young man.
So, in the subsequent sailing test, the semi-disc-shaped Maverick set off dragging twenty containers with elastic locks. In addition to many instruments, there were also half a ton of compressed high-altitude equipment in the containers.
Explosive solid dust and half a ton of highly enriched uranium, 1,000 tons of fresh grains and fruits and vegetables, 500 tons of new meat, and 500 tons of various highly durable grain seeds. In terms of biology, there are 10 white mice, two chimpanzees and two
A white Yujing horned monkey (which is a native mammal of Baiyujing).
In addition, there are 30 sheep, 10 cows and 100 chickens, plus 2 dogs and 2 cats each.
Those who knew it were doing a Stargate experiment, but those who didn’t know it thought they were looking for a place to open up land and farm.
However, this ship, which looked very much like a galactic railway freight train, passed through the star gate very smoothly, providing very important experimental data for Professor Zinov's gravitational tide model.
"There is no abnormality in the hull. The sailing condition is stable."
"The crew's physical condition has not been found to be abnormal so far."
"There is nothing abnormal about the cargo being pulled behind the ship."
"No abnormalities were found in the livestock in the ecological box."
The Lone Wanderer then reported. This means that when the Stargate is stable, at least medium-sized freighters and passenger ships can pass. Although this huge creation of the Enlightened One always needs to open and close,
But it can indeed be regarded as a usable waterway.
...At least it's more reliable than those dotted gravity wells on the star map. At least it won't kill you if you can't get through.
Of course, the above data was delayed for a period of time before being transmitted back to Tianshu's laboratory. This also shows once again that the source wave network in New China cannot be extended to the New World.
On the contrary, gravitational waves and more primitive "electromagnetic waves" can pass through the star gate normally. Even when the star gate is closed, these communication systems can operate normally.
Immediately afterwards, the laboratory's request for the Lone Wanderer to return failed. However, even so, everyone in the laboratory and the Lone Wanderer found it acceptable. Anyway, if you can't get through now, you will have to try again in half an hour.
"Then let's get to work first. We're here anyway," Captain Bai said.
As for Tianshu, Professor Zinov of course decided to trust the judgment of an experienced senior pioneer and let him act freely.
Therefore, the Lone Wanderer first released the detection drone on the ship, then deployed two sets of military wide-area gravitational wave signal towers, and adjusted the wavelength to the military channel.
Then, they towed the series of containers towed at the stern of the ship to the fifth planet of Dl369. This planet is the closest to the star gate. At the closest distance, it only takes an hour to travel back and forth at sublight cruising speed.
The planet has a thin atmosphere and polar glaciers. Although it will still cost a lot of money to develop a habitable planet, it is still very suitable for building an outpost research station.
Captain Bai was indeed an experienced pioneer. With five people and a boatload of equipment, it only took him two hours to set up an expedition station including a corral.
The Lone Ranger then returned to the Stargate, preparing to try to return again. But at this time, their communication was interrupted again, and the interruption lasted for more than six hours.
Just when everyone in the laboratory began to become anxious and pondered whether to notify Bai Yujing to prepare a rescue team, they finally received a notification from Captain Bai.
Just when they returned to the vicinity of the stargate orbit and prepared to conduct experiments again, the gravitational wave tower group they had just installed captured the nearby active gravitational wave signal.
After all, the Lone Ranger does not have high-power decoding equipment and a professional team, so it is impossible to analyze the detailed content behind the signal in a short time. However, Lieutenant Pili, a top graduate who has graduated from a major, only took a glance and determined the encryption method of this set of signals.
, full of a strong imperial flavor.
This of course means that there are Imperial warships operating in nearby galaxies, and they are also broadcasting wide-area gravitational wave communications to surrounding galaxies.
Afterwards, the Maverick hid around the star gate, simulating the phantom aperture of the outer layer of the giant planet's light elements, allowing itself to maintain complete signal silence.
As for the unmanned exploration reconnaissance aircraft that was just released, it was naturally shut down remotely. The Lone Ranger also shut down the automatic deep space detectors deployed by the previous team.
This move was like a rabbit hiding in a hole when it smelled trouble. Captain Bai expressed a certain degree of dissatisfaction, but in the end he chose to listen to the "expert" Lieutenant Pirie.
Just as the Lone Ranger held its breath for half an hour like a rabbit hiding in a hole to avoid natural enemies, an obvious gravitational reaction appeared in the direction of the No. 2 gravity well of the DL369 galaxy.
Subsequently, three more Imperial destroyers jumped into this system.
Like a pack of hounds patrolling the wasteland, they circled around the edge of the galaxy and then returned the same way. Obviously, this small imperial fleet did not discover its own detector, let alone the star.
The gate is just passing through this galaxy on a routine basis and leaving behind a gravitational wave broadcast.
The Lone Ranger remained silent again and disappeared. In the process, Lieutenant Pirie finally parsed part of the previous broadcast.
Of course, this broadcast was also played in the laboratory.
"In the name of the glorious Holy Galactic Empire, I would like to inform Your Excellency Commander Yang of the Community Fleet and all his officers and soldiers that your resistance is admirable, but under our absolute strategic advantage, your resistance will eventually come to an end.
.Our country only hopes that Commander Yang Xiyi will put the lives of all the officers and soldiers of the fleet first, put down his weapons, and actively move closer to our fleet! I swear by the honor of the Holy Galaxy Empire, all officers and soldiers of the Yang Fleet will receive humanitarian treatment in line with their status! Yang Xiyi
The general himself will also be given the title of prince worthy of your merits. The Blue Star Community is not worthy of all your wisdom and efforts. Only the sacred Galaxy Empire is your real stage! Repeat,
With honor..."
"General Yang Xiyi's fleet is still fighting. The imperial devils are in a hurry." Mr. Qi said quietly, looking like an enigmatic wise man.
The analyzed original broadcast sound naturally sounds very dignified, calm and somewhat sincere. He is definitely a senior news spokesman who has experienced many battles and has seen a lot. However, even a military layman like Mr. Qi cannot
