All the lights in the space port were turned on, shining like a constellation of stars in the night sky.
Daqin 001 slowly parked into Pier 1 under the lights, and then the car stretched out, connecting the ship body with the pier.
The gate of the military port opened, and a group of more than ten Space Force soldiers carried their luggage and walked quickly into the closed car with their heads held high.
At the end of the car, General Tao Linchuan stood as straight as a pine at the gate of the warship.
Yang Wenzhi strode forward, put down his suitcase, raised his hands, and performed a standard military salute: "Report, the twelve people in the Auriga Fleet Joint Command Center have assembled and requested to board the ship!"
"Take a break." Tao Linchuan returned the salute with a smile on his face.
Letting those young Air Force flight instructors grow into battleship commanders and even fleet commanders was his earliest idea. Later, he received strong support from Lao Qin and Mr. Ye, so he implemented it.
A few months have passed, and although the physical body has not been on the "battlefield", one can still smell the real iron-blooded meaning of eternal life from their bodies.
After all, warriors can only be cultivated through actual combat.
"Lieutenant Colonel Yang Wenzhi."
"exist!"
"You are allowed to board the ship."
"yes!"
"You're already at rest, so there's no need to be so tense." Tao Linchuan raised his gaze and looked at the commanders who were gathering. After a pause, he looked back: "In the hall of the ship, there are two hundred and sixty people.
Colleagues from all positions have been assembled and are waiting for you, so I won’t write any more."
"What I just want to say is that this time, after you complete the experimental mission, you will set off to the Auriga Galaxy, go straight to the most real battlefield, and face the most real enemy."
"As soldiers, being shrouded in horse leather is our destiny, but it is definitely not our pursuit. You must keep this in mind." Tao Linchuan's expression gradually became serious: "Whether it is the leaders of the community, Taiyue, or
Or the tens of thousands of scientists and engineers in the entire human science and technology community, or even the current development direction of human science as a whole..."
"All our goals and pursuits are for the continuation of mankind!"
Tao Linchuan stared closely at Yang Wenzhi and Smil. He knew that in the first battle, these two men directly controlled the spaceship and rushed into the enemy's formation. They also temporarily changed the Y18 battleship to Zhiyuan.
Number.
But this group of people, to put it a bit exaggerated, are the treasures that Taiyo spent hundreds of billions or trillions of resources to cultivate! They are the commanders who will command the human space force in the next few decades! If they are so reckless on the front line
, I’m afraid that Taiyue’s group of generals won’t even be able to find a place to cry.
"Therefore, even if you are facing a desperate situation, you cannot sacrifice lightly. Please keep this in mind!" Tao Linchuan's voice fell heavily.
When Yang Wenzhi listened to this unusual instruction, he felt an indescribable strange emotion in his heart.
As a soldier, of course, it is your bounden duty to obey your destiny, your mission to protect your family and country, and your destiny to be shrouded in horse leather.
Who among them who grew up in peaceful times would want their lives not to be taken seriously?
Amidst the ups and downs of his mind, Yang Wenzhi's blood surged in his chest. Thousands of words finally turned into a standard military salute and a calm "Yes!" at the moment he said it.
"Okay, Daqin No. 001 will be handed over to you."
…
After landing on the battleship, Yang Wenzhi and other officers quickly found the corresponding colleagues in the ship's department from the system. These fleet soldiers were all leaders in various fields and had been training on the ground for several months before boarding the ship.
In a sense, they know this most powerful space battleship in human history better than their own officers.
After briefly completing a plenary meeting, Yang Wenzhi returned to the commander's position.
The command cabin of Daqin 001 is similar to the command cabin of the Xinsong-class battleship, but the space is much wider, and it can still fit even if all the more than 270 people on the ship are gathered here.
Of course, there are not many people in the command module at ordinary times. In addition to their dozen or so commanders, they are the leaders of the ship's science and engineering team and some control personnel. The others are distributed in other positions throughout the ship.
After putting on his command helmet, Yang Wenzhi directly entered the command center conference room.
"Lieutenant Colonel Yang, are you ready?"
"Reporting to Academician Ye, all positions are ready."
"Okay, then issue the command to start the self-test."
"yes!"
Looking at Ye Ming's figure in the mask, Yang Wenzhi suppressed his excitement and began to follow Ye Ming's orders step by step to perform various self-checks before takeoff - since the control system of the Daqin class was the same as that of the Xin Song class battleship, he controlled it easily.
.
But even so, Academician Ye Ming still had to see him perform the control with his own eyes, which shows how important this first flight is.
After the self-inspection, the connecting car of the ship body slowly detached.
When the countdown reached zero, Daqin 001 was like a light fallen leaf, slowly floating into space.
"Main engine started."
"The main engine is starting, has started!"
As the sound fell, three meteor-like flames instantly rose in the space.
"Testing at full speed toward the stated goal."
"receive!"
Time passed minute by minute, and Daqin 001 also quickly flew towards the aphelion position of Mars.
Looking at the target point getting closer and closer, Yang Wenzhi's eyes gradually lit up.
According to the display, the target hit by the main gun was a giant asteroid two kilometers in length.
Ye Ming's voice sounded at the right time: "Have you seen the 2033CL15 five light seconds away? You choose the engagement distance yourself and fire with the full power of the main gun."
"yes!"
Yang Wenzhi quickly switched to the ship's internal channel and shouted: "The main gun is locked on target 2033CL15."
"locked!"
"What's the hit rate?"
"The pulse hit rate is seventy percent."
"What about sustained hit rate?"
"hundred percent!"
"Then continue to attack, with full power output!" Yang Wenzhi took a deep breath: "Do it!"
As soon as the words fell, a two-meter-thick giant beam of light pierced the sky from the main gun emplacement on the bow of the Daqin 001, like a monkey's golden cudgel, instantly stabbing into the distant deep space.
One and a half million kilometers away, a rocky asteroid about two kilometers long seemed to have withstood the light of destruction. In just an instant, it was broken in half from top to bottom.
"Well done, keep moving forward, continue to use the asteroid to test the secondary battery on the healthy side, and at the same time test the main charging module."
"yes!"
…
Time passed slowly, and when five hours later, Ye Ming's voice of "The test was a complete success" sounded, the command cabin, which had been tense all day, suddenly burst into endless applause.
Yang Wenzhi took off his command helmet, and his old partner and "son and daughter-in-law" Smil also brought a napkin over at the right time.
While wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yang Wenzhi looked at the energy storage system being charged and exhaled heavily with emotion.
As someone who has personally commanded many warships, he naturally knows where the shortcomings of previous human warships are - whether it is the New Song class or the "Eagle", the shortcoming is that the energy storage system is too frustrating.
Needless to say, it is a pity that the shield and main gun share an energy storage system and cannot have both. It can only fire dozens of pulse rounds when fully charged, which makes people dislike it.
Not to mention, after the fight, you have to recharge for at least five days to a week - commanders with a good attitude likened the charging time to "walking the dog", while commanders with a bad attitude cursed and said that they did not want to do it.
It takes just a few seconds to rest for a week. What the hell is this when you are so weak...
But now this Daqin No. 001 uses a new energy storage system. Under the premise that its main gun has amplified the pulse power by more than ten times, if it still follows the previous firing method, it can fire hundreds of guns.
The charging time has been shortened to only about two days.
Of course, thanks to the stable high-power output, you can now even use the continuous output mode instead of the pulse shell mode - which means that the hit rate will increase geometrically!
"Strength can produce miracles." Yang Wenzhi couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time he looked at Guan Qin, the chief scientist on board the ship: "Professor Guan, thank you for your hard work."
Guan Qin is a student of Academician Gu. He has been following closely in the past and has made great achievements in the field of supercapacitors. Later he joined Academician Gu's team and was fully responsible for solving the transmission problem under ultra-high current. He can be regarded as a storage expert.
One of the great contributors to the system's leap.
According to common sense, it is not necessary for such a character to board the ship.
It can also be seen from this how much mankind attaches importance to the True Battleship.
"Haha, the energy storage system is a big system. If you really want to thank me, it will be endless." Professor Guan Qin is forty this year, but he looks quite young and very gentle. After hearing this, he waved his hand and said with emotion: "But
Captain Yang, you are right. The comprehensive upgrade of the energy storage system, transmission system, and power generation system has created the miracle of Dali today - think about it, a 12,000-megawatt main charger
Energy reactor (10,000 less in the previous chapter), three 22,000-megawatt drive engines... This is equivalent to installing nearly four Three Gorges Dams on the spacecraft. Isn't this charging faster?"
"Hahaha, when did the Three Gorges Dam become a quantifier?"
"It has long become a quantifier."
There was laughter in the command cabin.
At this moment, Qin Weiguo's voice sounded.
"Comrades."
Following the sound, Qin Weiguo, Ye Ming and the rest of the leaders of the Taiyue Operations Center appeared in the holographic projection screen inside the ship at the same time.
"First of all, congratulations on completing the maiden flight test of Daqin 001."
There was applause again in the command module.
After a while, Qin Weiguo looked at everyone with a smile.
"Next, you will return to your home port for three days of rest and maintenance. During this period, you can return to Earth to reunite with your family, and you can also purchase personal items."
In the command cabin, everyone fell silent, quietly waiting for instructions from below.
"In three days, you will go directly to the Blue Star. After making the final supplies there, you will go directly to the Auriga Galaxy."
