Yu Lian greeted Hei Daxia and walked towards the landing craft.
This kind of landing craft can be regarded as a special weapon. The entire hull is tapered and is extremely fast. Combined with the disintegration force field generator on the bow, it has extremely strong penetrating power. It can be called a spear in space wars.
However, its problem is that in order to avoid bombs, its hull is very small, and it takes up most of the space to accommodate high-power engines and disintegration field generators. Therefore, the real available space is very small, and at most it can only
Accommodates a squad of soldiers and their mechs.
In fleet decisive battles, this kind of weapon is used to attack the bridge in extreme situations. But facts have proved that the so-called special use in extreme situations is often not very useful when the technology is extreme.
However, it must be admitted that this kind of special assault boat is really good to use here. Although the hangar is small, it will definitely not be a problem to at least fit the three people of Yu Company and the special equipment they need into it.
of.
In addition, the engineers also thought for a while under the leadership of Yu Lian, and forcibly installed a set of light-wing equipment on the assault craft - of course, Xiao Hui also helped a little secretly.
Once this light-wing device is used, the lifespan of the assault boat can only be calculated in minutes. However, no one expected to be able to recycle this thing.
"The operating condition is still very good." The chief technician, the first-class sergeant who Yu Lian didn't know yet, had seen the captain and said quickly: "Moreover, I have also placed the heraldry machine and all the weapons you are using.
Okay, another charging device is equipped. As long as the ship is not completely destroyed, you can even use the hull to charge it at critical moments."
This is also a great technician! Yu Lian thought. However, why do I always feel that this old man is a little wrong with the line? This is probably the reason why I forget to ask his name every time.
Of course, out of politeness and the most basic emotional intelligence, Yu Lian still expressed his gratitude to the old man sincerely, and then he came to the side of Earl Black Moon and whispered:
"When charging, I can be responsible for driving."
"Driving in a heraldic machine?" Earl Black Moon put down the thermos cup, and the eyes behind the mask were still as calm as before, without any so-called sharpness.
Yu Lian wanted to say that he had relevant experience in this area, but considering that it was better to be young and energetic when dealing with an old man whose age he didn't know, he said: "It doesn't matter, those who are capable can do anything."
"It sounds like he is a reliable and energetic young man." The Earl said: "Then, when the time comes, it will be up to me to find a way to cover the ship's trajectory."
There are many ways to cover a person's movement trajectory, but covering an armored airship moving at sub-light speed sounds very mythical. However, someone with a name as big as Count Black Moon, and also his master
If you invited me in person, you probably won't blow your mouth randomly.
Therefore, Yu Lian expressed his gratitude to the rogue, and completed the last pre-war maintenance on the assault craft with the technicians before returning to the bridge.
"I'll wait here and won't go away." The earl said to Yu Liandi, then he picked up the thermos cup and drank hot tea with medicinal herbs.
Just after leaving the hangar, Xiao Hui's voice came from Yu Lian's headset again: "This Earl of Black Moon..."
Yu Lian obviously heard the curiosity in the other person's tone, and was a little surprised. You know, for silicon-based life forms like Xiao Hui, which are difficult to understand at the current level of civilization, if you want any information, you can just directly connect to the Nebula network to collect the information.
In the existing civilization, there are almost no secrets for her, so it is naturally difficult for her to have such an obvious interest in anything.
"He is the most important urban legend among us people on earth. It is said that he is an immortal demon who has lived for more than five hundred years. This has exceeded the upper limit of human beings. Of course, I personally think that this may just be the inheritance of a name."
Yu Lian smiled and said: "If you are curious, how about we go and investigate together?"
"I don't want it." Xiao Hui smiled with an obvious joking element.
"don't want?"
"Interesting things, placed in the torrent of time, seem ordinary. Interesting people can always let their light shine through the constraints of time. Now look, in your era, there are still a lot of interesting people.
, at least more than when I last woke up more than five hundred years ago. Looking at it this way, the civilization of your generation still has room for salvation."
Yu Liang was about to say a riddle: "Robot get out of the universe," but there was no sound from the other party. He shrugged, and when returning to the bridge, he passed by the canteen to fill his stomach, and happened to bump into the master who was also preparing to come over for breakfast.
.
This master with fair hair and a childlike face, who looked like a master just sitting there, had a full dinner plate in front of him, piled with food, which really did not fit his personality at all.
"I've wanted to ask before... Master, didn't you say that at your level, you can absorb the essence of the sun and moon, the aura of heaven and earth, and be born without even eating?"
"It is true. You can achieve this step when you are forty years old." Lan Jiufeng said: "However, disciple, don't talk nonsense about the essence of the sun and the moon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it sounds very mysterious, but
But it's all empty talk. In fact, if you practice to a state where you can let your spiritual energy circulate around the world outside your mind, you can keep your muscles and bones strong and your qi and blood long. I created this spiritual pulse circulation method for my teacher.
I hope everyone can adapt to this process in advance.”
The translation is to make spiritual energy and the outside world form a more unified and smoother cycle, so that the northwest wind can drink the northwest wind to produce the nutrients the body needs.
"But even so, tasting delicious food is a pleasure in the world! As the old saying goes, food and sex are the same; now you young people say that only good wine should not live up to the good food. Disciple, you say, if I don't even have good food and beautiful women,
If you can appreciate it, doesn’t it mean that you have forgotten your true nature as a human being? In this case, how can you get the natural flavor of Taoism?”
"...How can this be considered natural if you insist on eating it even though you don't need to eat it?" Yu Lian said.
"But wouldn't it be even more unnatural if you obviously want to eat but don't eat?" Lan Jiufeng said.
Yu Lian pondered for two seconds and raised his thumb in admiration. You can't talk about philosophy with Taoists. No matter how you talk about philosophy, it makes sense! Next time, you and Xiao Hui should be allowed to confront each other.
At this time, I heard the master say again: "Besides, disciple, during this time as a master, I have been feasting, but it is not just for my own appetite."
Having said this, he raised his hand, and a fiery glow faintly flowed through his arms.
Yu Lian felt that his eyes had only been in contact with that light for a moment, and there was a very obvious burning sensation on his retinas. He couldn't help but subconsciously leaned back and even closed his eyes.
The moment he came into contact with the almost colorless light, he felt that his soul seemed to be locked by a giant beast covered in flames. However, Yu Lian could also feel that it was not some bloodthirsty and violent beast.
There are demons and ghosts, but there is a solemnity and sublimity that makes people awe-inspiring.
"This is……"
"Hoho hoho, I haven't seen my old friends from the opposite empire for twenty years, so we need to show off some new tricks. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to write new songs for those cute little girls." Lan Jiu
Feng stroked his beard, and smiled a bit obscenely at the immortal appearance... Ah no, the sense of innocence. The sacred sense of oppression before was naturally no longer there.
Yu Lian automatically ignored the last sentence, and couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for his master again. Not every psyker, in their twilight years of ninety years, can tirelessly break through themselves and explore new realms.
For example, let's take the "master's old friend" opposite. Yu Lian can be sure that compared to the period of the War of Independence, Duke Sartolan's spiritual power may have improved, but his vigor and physical strength are actually not what they used to be.
.But I don’t know where he got the confidence to dare to challenge the master again.
In this regard, the master commented: "Everyone understands the Tao differently. That old boy Sadulan firmly believes in his own choice, which is better than believing in nothing. But you, you must remember that the heraldic machine is also
Weapons, and weapons are ultimately tools. Tools are things that make people convenient, not things that restrain them."
Yu Lian felt that what his master said made sense, so he decided to stuff a little ionic salt into the heraldry machine for a while, so that when the situation was not going well, he could use it to play with boom. Anyway, when he had already reached the fifth ring, he would forget it.
Even though it is the most advanced heraldic machine in the empire, its bonus to you is very limited.
By the time Yu Lian returned to the bridge, all important positions were already in place. Looking at everyone's high spirits, Yu Lian was sure that his decision to let everyone repair for two days was correct. Of course, Qian Li must also thank Qian Li for this.
(Light Years) Friends of the Empire who have come all the way to "help us"!
Thinking of this, Yu Lian said to First Officer Kong Qingyu who was arranging everything to start: "Before the jump, we can leave a few semi-permanent stability beacons near the gravity well."
The first mate quickly understood what Yu Lian meant and said, "Isn't this a little too deliberate?"
"It is indeed obvious. However, friends from the empire have come, how can they retreat at the door? Besides, it is still very hard for them to travel day and night. Even if it is based on basic morality, we should leave them a signpost.
of."
Kong Qingyu nodded and replied seriously: "Moreover, when exploring the unknown starry sky, you should indeed install a stable gravitational wave beacon near the newly discovered gravity well. This is the most basic safety procedure!"
"... First mate, although we have not cooperated for a long time, I really feel that you are truly the best assistant I have ever worked with! If we do not continue to cooperate for a long time, we will simply be sorry for the fate bestowed by the spirit of the universe."
Lieutenant Colonel Kong Qingyu has outstanding abilities, seriousness and determination, and his appearance and personality are that of a typical elite old sailor. The most important thing is that even at this age, he is still willing to accept new knowledge and
Concept. In Yu Lian’s opinion, this is a perfect captain!
Yu Liangang wanted to discuss the stagnation of the universe with the first officer, but the other party had already moved to his position and continued working.
After the chief engineer, damage control department, and security department at the rear of the ship were all in place, and the final preparations for departure were completed, the first mate looked at Yu Lian, waiting for his order.
"There's no rush." Yu Lian smiled and said, "Let the bullets... let the friendly forces fly for a while longer!"
At the same moment, the "old enemy" officially recognized by someone, Colonel Yeager Soback, the new star of hope of the Astral Knights, was looking at the edge of the 166 galaxy with his eagle eyes wide open.
Direction. Of course, even if he is already the "navigator" of the Three Rings and his eyesight is comparable to radar, he will never be able to see the appearance of a galaxy dozens of light years away with his naked eyes.
Of course, he didn't see Captain Hongshan turning his back to him and rolling his eyes. He just looked into the distance and said to himself: "How is the star condition over there?"
Captain Hongshan said: "I only know that it is a very barren three-star galaxy. The expedition fleets of the Alliance and the Community were the ones exploring it on the spot. Most of the galaxy data has been sealed as military data."
Soback nodded slightly. Even with the empire's size and national power, it would be impossible to send a special ship to conduct an inspection of all newly discovered galaxies.
Moreover, the Community and the Alliance have not taken any further development steps in the twenty years since they discovered this galaxy, which is enough to show that this place is indeed very barren. If it were not for the current commotion, the forces of the Galactic Empire would be here.
Maybe we won't visit this remote galaxy for a century.
Soback couldn't help but rub his face, and then said seriously: "Let everyone return to their positions quickly."
Captain Hongshan glanced at Soback, who was pretending to be calm, thinking that every time you passed a galaxy along the way, you would have an ominous premonition.
One moment you are worried about some giant space beast, the other moment you think you will encounter an abnormal celestial body situation, the next moment you are wondering where there are pirates, and finally you are always worried about the earthly dreadnought preparing to ambush you, that's it.
He has the character of a persecutory delusion. It’s just that he has a neurasthenia, but the entire fleet is a little nervous.
But even so, the noble Duke actually praised you for your careful work and your talent.
However, with such a moral character that is about to suffer from mental breakdown, he can still maintain a perfect routine of getting up at 4 o'clock on time and appearing on the bridge at 7 o'clock every day, which is quite awe-inspiring.
Well, he is obviously a strong man, born with a bear look! This is also the traditional skill of Colonel Soback. Captain Hongshan said that he has become accustomed to this "old partner", and said: "An hour ago, that is, 5
At 058:00, the deep space probe launched by our ship indeed found energy residue at the entrance to the gravity well leading to the edge 166 galaxy. The technical department has just completed the analysis and can confirm that within 24 hours,
That gravity well has been activated, and it must be able to pass large ships."
Soback let out a sigh of relief, and finally felt a sense of security after landing his second shoe.
Captain Hongshan said: "Your Excellency the Duke's judgment is correct, and your navigation is also correct."
After all, Soback's star ring is "exploration", and navigation is his job. Moreover, this is the first time for the imperial fleet to run this channel, so it still needs an excellent navigator.
Although there were some sudden and unusual celestial changes along the way, under his leadership, the entire fleet still survived all difficulties without any danger. Duke Sartolan praised him in front of the entire army, and also
He didn't forcefully carry the sedan chair for his disciples without any reason.
Thinking of this, Soback couldn't help but proudly puffed up his chest.
At this time, I heard Captain Hongshan say: "So, are you ready to jump? You can't stay at the gravity well all the time, right?"
Soback's smiling face suddenly fell. He rolled his eyes, looked at another Clear Sky-class cruiser outside the porthole, and finally squeezed out a sentence from the corner of his mouth: "Then, let the entire fleet enter a state of combat readiness.
Let's... let's let this ship and the two Holy Shields take the lead."
