The Swan flew quietly away from the N7703 galaxy. The black paint almost made her blend into the deep space. Compared with the original version, she was much plumper at this moment, and the surface lines of the hull were smooth and smooth, with no damage.
All have been repaired.
Not only does she have an extra layer of armor, but it is not as bumpy and patchy as before. Now that Chu Jungui's production capacity has exploded, he can tailor a set of armor for the Swan without having to hold the standard as in the past.
blocks are stacked on top.
The bow of the Swan has also changed, becoming a lot bloated, especially the lower part, which is square and wide. It is actually filled with two Plan A guns. This battle with the Obsidian made Chu Jungui fully realize that the firepower is still
It was not enough, so the original backup plan was implemented, which was to install another Plan A cannon on the Swan.
In order to drive these two cannons, the Swan needs a full 200 energy capsules to power them. This results in the internal space of the Swan being almost entirely occupied by energy capsules, and the crew even has to squeeze ten people into a dormitory, just like this
It's still not enough, so we have to allocate them flexibly. Each dormitory is actually allocated to 30 people, who sleep in three shifts every day.
The crew has no complaints about this. As long as they can win the battle, they are willing to fight no matter how difficult it is. Now everyone knows that a very powerful supply base has appeared on Planet 4, with almost too much energy to use up.
.Each time, hundreds of empty energy capsules are unloaded and replaced with filled energy capsules. Even when I was in Green Apple, I never had such luxury.
After a short jump, the Swan arrived at the secret assembly point in outer space. There were three destroyers hovering here. The hulls were mottled and scarred everywhere.
With the arrival of the Swan, another light cruiser quietly appeared. Its hull had obvious patches, its striped paint was also mottled, and there were traces of repeated repairs everywhere.
An image of a heroic man appeared on Lin Xi's console. He saluted Lin Xi and said, "Colonel Lin, we meet again."
"General Lu, it's nice to see you here. But I have to say, this doesn't seem to be a wise choice."
The man had the rank of major general, one level higher than Lin Xi at the moment. Hearing Lin Xi's words, he smiled heartily and said: "At this point in the war, whether we are familiar with each other or not, we are all friends of life and death. Those guys
I still can't bear to think about punishing people at this time. As for how they want to settle the matter after the war, it's their business. Now let's feel comfortable fighting the war."
Lin Xi smiled slightly and said, "Since you said that, I'm not polite. Welcome to join!"
The man said: "Don't rush to welcome me, I want to ask one thing, was it you who killed the Obsidian?"
Lin Xi said calmly: "It was killed, but it was not just me, but also other people's help."
"other people?"
"If you have a chance in the future, you will know."
"Where's the battle report?"
"It can't be made public yet."
The man nodded and said: "Forget it, I will always know in the future anyway. Since you killed the Obsidian, I will follow your command from now on."
Lin Xi was startled and asked, "What if I wasn't the one who killed him?"
"In that case, our military achievements are evenly matched. You are only slightly stronger than me, so I may not be willing to obey you. I will leave the extra supplies with you and then leave."
Lin Xi didn't expect him to be so direct, and said helplessly: "You are really direct."
The man laughed and said: "Our current organization is similar to that of star pirates. Both sides are angry, and if we are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. This is not a joke. What if the boss is not strong enough?"
"So, are you planning to join now?"
The man stopped laughing and said seriously: "Rear Admiral Commander Lu Tuo of the Ninth Dynasty Fleet is here to report with the Striped Seagull!"
Lin Xi gave a military salute and said, "Welcome to join!"
The Seagull sailed into the assembly point and stopped in front of the Swan, half a body ahead of the other destroyers.
A dashing female major next to Lu Tuo waited until the communication channel was turned off before saying, "General Lu, are you serious?"
Lu Tuo was startled and said, "Of course I am serious."
"But didn't you intend to lead this fleet when you came here? Besides, she was only a colonel, and you were already a major general. If the war had not broken out and supplies from the rear had not been available, you would have been a heavy cruiser captain. It is said that you were originally going to
The heavy cruiser assigned to you has been built and is on its way."
Lu Tuo smiled and said: "Military ranks are only meaningful in peacetime. Everything on the battlefield depends on military merit. My current military merit is indeed not as good as hers. This is a fact."
"But the difference is very small!" The major was obviously dissatisfied. "She robbed the entire warehouse of beam cannons and left. We have been relying on the little supplies from the base, and even the shells have to be calculated. Can we achieve these military achievements?
It’s already amazing. In the entire war zone, you are second in combat merit below heavy patrol.”
Lu Tuo sighed and said: "The gap between the second and the first is sometimes so big that it is unimaginable."
"Did the incident on the Obsidian hit you too hard?"
"Maybe."
"But if you are below her like this, I'm afraid you will never have the chance to surpass her. Didn't you say that she is a phoenix that can never be tamed? Only by being stronger than her can you possibly catch her."
Lu Tuo smiled bitterly, "Actually, if you can stay by her side and fight side by side, there will always be a chance, right?"
"Isn't this a spare tire?" the female major said to the point.
At this time, a permission transfer request lit up on the command platform, and Lin Xi was asking for command rights. This is the basis of a fleet. If necessary, Lin Xi can bypass Lu Tuo and directly give orders to the Seagull.
Lu Tuo hesitated for a few seconds before choosing to accept. Then the command system began to upgrade and reconfigure the fleet permissions. There were still a few minutes to upgrade. In just a few minutes, Lu Tuo's face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally he calmed down and looked at the system.
update completed.
Lin Xi appeared on the command platform and said: "All starship commanders have entered the virtual conference system and a combat meeting will be held soon. The content of the meeting is important, so please be sure to attend."
A moment later, in the battle conference center of the Swan, the image of a famous captain appeared. When these captains appeared, they were a little dumbfounded.
"Is there something wrong with the system? Where is this place, the warehouse?"
"Is that a camp bed over there? Am I dazzled? Why are there four floors? Are there double images?"
"It's not a blur for you, because there is another row at the back."
"So we are in the dormitory?"
"It doesn't look like it, it should still be a warehouse. If it is really a dormitory, this kind of living conditions will have to go to court." Someone thought thoughtfully.
Lin Xi appeared, she coughed and said: "This was originally a war meeting hall, and of course it is now, but it has some additional uses. It can be used to store some things and temporarily house people."
Lu Tuo looked around, in disbelief, and asked, "Can I ask how many people live on the Swan?"
