The Imperial flagship Hyperion is the most majestic warship that Istel Voss has ever seen. The three-hundred-foot-tall hammer-shaped vertical bow seems to float on the towering glaciers on the ocean. The top deck and sides are thickened and bright.
The heavy and oppressive feeling of the silver vanadium alloy armor came over my face.
She is the imperial palace where the emperor travels and travels in the sea of stars, and the interior is like a luxurious palace. The open bridge corridor, carpeted aisles, the ship's staircase that is enough to accommodate many people, and the reliefs of wolves and eagles also make Yis
It was an eye-opener for Terr, who could see new equipment and new instruments every day here.
In UNN documentaries and Imperial Navy recruitment videos, the interior of the Hyperion is no longer a secret, but the promotional images and actual contact are completely different things.
After the Federal Zionists in Viridia were completely wiped out, Ister boarded the Hyperion and embarked on a journey to Korhal to study.
On the Hyperion, Easter was lucky enough to be assigned a single cabin and enjoy the treatment of a trainee sailor, which he regarded as the care of General Matt Horner.
However, Ister had not seen General Horner much since boarding the Hyperion. I heard that he held an emergency meeting and announced that the sailors scheduled to spend their vacation in Viridia would instead spend their vacation in Thailand.
After spending time on the Radol IX, he stayed in the captain's cabin and closed the door.
In any case, General Matt Horner used his life's ingenuity to avoid his fiancée's pursuit, bypassed the main planet of Viridia with great pains, and rushed directly to Korhal.
Regarding the love-hate relationship between Matt Horner and General Mira Han, Easter has heard a lot from the smiling crew of the Hyperion. Thanks to the title of combat hero, the ship's
The crew quickly adopted the young officer academy cadet as one of their own.
To be precise, Mira Han was passionately in love with Matt Horner, but the former was not the latter's type, so it turned into a one-sided chase. As for General Horner, he was so down-to-earth and steady that he did everything strictly.
For an honest person, a woman who is too enthusiastic and out-of-the-box will be unbearable.
This became one of the rare things that the crew of the Hyperion could tease General Horner about. The bored and chatty sailors liked to watch their commander's entertainment.
Easter's life on the ship was fulfilling and interesting. He had his own job. He had to get up on time every day to clean the decks with the recruits. The rest of the time he had to work for the chef in the upper kitchen, without a meal.
The meal is free.
This day is November 4, 2497. According to the voyage log, the Hyperion is very close to the Kohal system, the imperial throne world. As it approaches the main channel, the radio emitted by the starship becomes more and more lively.
At 19:37 on the ship, in the armory in cabin No. 12, Easter, wearing orange overalls, was driving a trailer to carry parts boxes on the bottom platform, surrounded by the flash of welding and machinery waiting to be upgraded.
The most eye-catching ones are the two Viking fighters that are under maintenance. Every time I see them, Ister will admire them from the bottom of his heart. The Viking fighters have two modes, air fighter/land plane.
A mode, which means these aerial beasts can land on the ground and fight alongside the Marines.
The last time Istor saw a Viking fighter was at an air show on TV. These beautiful and domineering new fighters gained countless fans as soon as they appeared, and because of this, he once wanted to apply for the Imperial Air Force Academy, but soon
It's a pity that it was removed in the end.
The A2 heavy machinery hybrid, the Viking fighter, was finalized at the Valhalla Prototype Weapons Laboratory and fully equipped with all armies in the second year after the establishment of the empire. It is now the absolute main fighter of the empire.
It adopts a central reactor and interchangeable servo system design, equipped with four sets of bypass turbines and a set of propellers located in the belly. It is also equipped with MT50 torpedoes and death heat missiles. The mecha mode can use double thrusters.
Terlingan cannons reduce any enemy of the Empire to smithereens.
The Viking fighter is another example of the Terran Empire's military engineering. It is a fine product born for pure killing. It is the pinnacle of human manned combat system design. No other weapon has such flexibility and deterrence. It is
The war machine made of all alloys looks like the wrath of a god when it falls from the sky.
As the pride of technology in the Imperial Age, the most cutting-edge and deadliest fighter, the Viking fighter is known for its wild speed and shocking firepower. The Imperial Navy has high hopes for this new fighter, and Admiral Edmond Du
Ke even claimed that the Viking fighter plane could handle an Ultralisk.
In the era of the Tyranids, fighter planes were no longer in short supply as in the past, but Viking pilots were a rarity.
Perhaps it is extremely chic and cool to fly a multi-ton Viking fighter from high altitude to transform into a mecha mode, but this tricky flying maneuver can only be mastered by the elite of the elite. It is so difficult to control these beasts in the air.
So difficult that most pilots die in their first battle.
Those who can fly Viking fighters are the elite of the elite, because they must be proficient in combat in the sky and on the ground at the same time, and must be able to fly fighter planes and control land-based mechas.
Despite this, the number of Viking fighters is enough to appear on various battlefields of the empire. The Vikings have become a symbol of the era of the Tyranid Empire, and the Wraith fighters, which were dominant when they first came out, also seem outdated.
Nowadays, the technology of Viking fighters has been very mature, and various models are in full bloom. For example, the Archangel model is a super Viking, which is even larger and comparable to a battleship. Of course, the Army also has its own super weapons. It is said that a
The super mecha Titan (Terra-tron) is being developed in secret.
"Foss, come here and help me transport these mining mules to the warehouse. Brother, move them gently. I repaired them after a lot of hard work." The speaker was Milo Kachinsky.
) is the current chief engineer of the Hyperion.
Milo Kaczynski is the younger brother of Victor Kaczynski. He came from Moria to join his brother last year. Since Rory Swann and Victor were transferred to Augustgrad one after another
Later, the original engineers of the Hyperion Engineering Group were sent to various imperial fleets as the backbone of the engineering groups. The emperor made the final decision and appointed young Milo as the Chief Engineer of the Hyperion.
Milo, who was newly appointed as an official, took a fancy to Easter's talent in mechanical engineering and asked him to come and help. In just two weeks, Easter had already experienced things that many people would never be able to experience in their lifetime.
thing.
"They always break easily." Easter drove the trailer to Milo and waited for him to hang the trailer on the car.
"The mining mules are still in the experimental stage, and they are often sent to dangerous areas where space engineering vehicles are difficult to operate." Milo is a young Morian with dark brown hair and eyes. At the same time, he also has the unruliness of his age.
Untamed and far less calm than his brothers.
"Mind you, the last time Ross broke a Raven, it cost him thirty months' salary. If Polly hadn't repaired it in two days, that guy would have been in trouble."
"Although the mining efficiency of mining mules is very amazing, they always consume energy very quickly and will shut down soon." Miro said to Istel: "For this reason, I am considering increasing the endurance energy——
But that will inevitably increase the cost significantly, so the gains outweigh the losses.”
"The advantage of a mining mule is that it can harvest ten times or a hundred times the minerals at a very low cost. If the cost is increased, then why don't I use the consortium's planetary excavator."
Mine mules, whose full name is multifunctional lunar excavators, often use newly developed airdrop capsules to drop into ore veins.
A large number of mining mules can dig out an entire mineral vein in a very short period of time. When the shadows of a few mining mules appear on high-altitude orbits, it is enough to make the empire's allies furious.
In addition, the Mining Mule has received strong recognition from Marshal Jim Raynor, who believes that this new mining robot will significantly improve the competitiveness of the Imperial Army on the battlefield.
The mining mule was Marshal Reno's favorite.
"Poor Milo, why don't you build a super mining mule? Big is good, and tonnage is just." Although Easter has only known Milo for a short time, the two of them have a good relationship. This may be because of the engineering
There are mostly uncle-level figures in the group, and there are very few young people.
"That's why I didn't build an upgraded mining vehicle. We don't have such a big drop pod - in terms of mining technology, Kemerian has almost finished the journey."
"You don't have to be so anxious." Easter drove away the trailer: "You are still very young."
"Go and rest after you finish your work." Milo shrugged his shoulders: "If it weren't for the shortage of manpower, I wouldn't ask you to do it."
"This is also for salary." Ister said with a smile: "Although Steelling students are not only exempted from all tuition fees and have scholarships, I also need money to do other things."
After finishing the job, Easter, who was in a good mood, first went to the sonic bathroom on deck 5 to take a shower, and then went to the upper dining room to prepare for dinner. Everything was done easily. When he first boarded the ship, Easter had to read Huber's
Hyperion Crew Manual, now he is accustomed to the rules on the ship.
Compared to the small cabin of the Bedford, which was only thirty feet wide, the dining room of the Hyperion was too luxurious. The red carpet on the floor, the candlesticks on the table and the classical paintings looked like classical art.
the breath.
This Behemoth-class battlecruiser originally belonged to the Federation. It was later repaired and upgraded by the United States of Umoyan and became the first battleship of the Korhal Revolutionary Army. Its interior decoration was designed by Arcturus.
· Designed by Prince Mengsk, it is said to be exactly the same as the Mengsk family’s holiday manor in the past.
In comparison, the interior of other newly built battlecruisers has a cold and simple pragmatic industrial style. It is no wonder that Hyperion is always the target of publicity. But as the emperor's flagship, the crew of this ship are basically from the Revolutionary Army era.
The veterans and royal guards are not so easy to enter.
When we walked into the restaurant, there were only a few engineers who had just gotten off work. The soldiers and engineers had their meals at staggered times, otherwise it would be much more lively at this time. The kitchen basically supplies hot food and water 24 hours a day, and some even
I lament that the conditions are much better than in the past.
When the Hyperion was in its lowest condition, the crew could not afford to pay their wages, and during maintenance, Rory Swann even had to tear down one wall to make up for the other.
And Hyperion is also because the hull was built earlier. The current Minotaur-class battlecruiser has several different restaurants, which are used for dining for crew members in different positions. The fleet is the Damocles of the Tyranids who maintain order.
The food subsidy of the Navy is much better than that of the Marine Corps.
Easter took some grilled chicken with noodles and a vegetable salad and found a table to sit down. The holographic projection screen in the center of the restaurant was playing the latest news. These news were all reviewed, and most of them were related to politics and military affairs.
related.
The hottest news recently is about the Federal Zionists. Princess Dorothy in military uniform appeared on the homepage of major media. Easter was very happy to learn that the captain of the Bedford, King Kim, was
He was rescued safely, and last time he appeared in the news praising the reliability of the imperial army.
The empire did not conceal the existence of the Federal Zionists, and the far-reaching impact of this incident did not end there. The emergence of the Federal Zionist organization directly prompted the Empire to make changes to the laws of the waterways, and invested tens of billions of imperial credit coins to
Increase waterway security forces.
Suddenly, a piece of news made Ister's brows furrowed. The empire's spokesperson announced that a new mutant species of zerg named banelings had been discovered. They first appeared in Anselm and were created by
Mutated springtails infected by local native fungi.
Banelings are described as bloated, terrifying monsters filled with terrible acid. Only a few banelings can destroy the Empire's outposts.
This news deeply disturbed Istel. Unsurprisingly, with the rapid development of the Empire's military technology, the Zerg are also constantly evolving. Sooner or later, the strategies and weapons used to deal with the Zerg will become outdated.
.
Not only the zerg, but the protoss are also developing their own military technology at an accelerated pace. In two or three years, the progress has far exceeded that of the past ten centuries. Archbishop Tassadar of Durham strives to bring the military power of the protoss back to
Golden Age standards.
The war in the future will be more massive and more tragic, and Ister can't help but worry about her sister and her future children.
No matter what, the Federation Zionists will never succeed, because once the Tyranid Empire collapses, tens of billions of Tyranids will fall into an extremely miserable situation.
"Foss - I heard from the adjutant that you are here." At this time, General Matt Horner, whom he had not seen for a long time, walked towards Easter through the open door of the restaurant.
"General!" Easter quickly stood up and saluted, while hurriedly sucking the noodles out of his mouth.
"The Hyperion has arrived in the Kohal system. Next, she will dock at the Ursa Shipyard on the Kohal satellite for necessary maintenance work." The general said: "I will arrange for a spacecraft to take you to Augu.
Stegler, so that you can attend the opening ceremony in time."
"Thank you, General." Easter didn't expect that the General not only remembered this, but also came to inform him personally.
"It takes a little effort..." The general's face didn't look good.
"What's wrong with you?" Easter saw it.
"I heard that Mira was in Augustgrad. It seems that I was tricked by her again...she didn't go to Veridia at all!" The general shook his head: "I was really pissed off.
Tell you this, no matter what, you don’t understand what it means..."
"Go ahead." He sighed deeply.
It suddenly occurred to Easter that the general stayed at the Usa Shipyard because he did not dare to go to Augustgrad.
He wanted to laugh, but this was disrespectful to General Horna.
I was autistic for a day yesterday and almost fell into depression. Family matters were unpredictable.
Thank you to the leader of the Highway Buck! It really refreshed me when I saw it!
