Ye Han said decisively: "Keep accelerating, the ship is almost gone, why do you need to care about the propeller?"
"Okay!" He Lu felt a wave of pride surge in his chest. He put aside all calculations and worries and raised the power output and thruster power to the highest level in one breath.
The thrusters immediately burst out with surging power, and the already deformed reaction chamber became even more distorted under the increasing temperature. However, this switch resulted in a linear increase in the speed of the battleship.
The screen in front of He Lu was full of charts and numbers. His voice was as sharp as a knife scraping glass: "The thruster power is 115% for half a minute. The power must be reduced after half a minute!"
Ye Han said nothing with a sullen face, and the others also did not dare to speak. Just like that, half a minute passed in the blink of an eye.
He Lu said anxiously: "Captain? The temperature of the reaction chamber is approaching the critical point and we cannot continue!"
Ye Han's determination was unshakable: "Did you avoid the enemy ship?"
"not yet……"
"continue!"
"captain……"
"I said go ahead!"
He Lu's heart was beating wildly and he agreed abruptly: "Yes!"
His fingers were hanging on the screen, and he wanted to click on it several times, but he always retracted it involuntarily.
He Lu knew very well that it was easy to just click his finger, but the power of the propeller was reduced, and the speed of the battleship would also be reduced. When the time came, it would not be able to avoid the interception of aliens, and the final result of the Leishan would definitely be the destruction of the ship and the crew.
Death.
However, the thrusters running at super power may be scrapped at any time, and you will not be able to escape the clutches of the aliens.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with over-power operation, but a voice deep in his heart told him that it was wrong to do so. Over-power operation must be controlled, and the risk of damaging the propeller should not be taken at any time or under any circumstances.
But he was only a temporary deputy captain and did not have much actual power in his hands. Two different thoughts of obeying orders and obeying his heart were fiercely competing in his mind.
Time passed by second by second, and the habit of obeying orders finally defeated the inner impulse, and the finger hanging on the screen quietly moved away.
A flashing red light suddenly appeared at the rear of the battleship on the tube damage interface. He Lu saw the position of the red light and screamed: "The reaction chamber of the No. 3 thruster has ruptured and the buffer layer has melted!"
"Turn off the No. 3 thruster...did you avoid the enemy ship?"
"not yet!"
"continue!"
Another red light appeared, and He Lu roared again: "The No. 6 thruster is broken!"
"Have you turned off the Gate's thrusters to avoid the enemy ships?"
"No……"
The No. 2 propeller, the No. 8 propeller, the No. 5 propeller... the propellers ruptured and flamed out one after another, but the Leishan's speed was still not enough, and it still could not escape the enemy ship's interception.
Ye Han had to ask every time, but the answer he got every time was no. The hope in his eyes became weaker and weaker, and his pursed lips became tighter and tighter. Finally, he sat motionless on the command chair, like
A statue about to solidify.
When there were only two propellers left, the Leishan was finally faster than the enemy ship, and a roar immediately rushed out of He Lu's throat: "Enough, the speed is enough!"
Ye Han suddenly alerted himself, and his whole body suddenly came to life: "Reduce the power, quickly reduce the power!"
He Lu pointed his fingers: "The output power is one hundred percent... ninety-five percent... ninety percent... The No. 4 thruster is broken, the No. 4 thruster is broken!"
Ye Han, who had just calmed down a little, suddenly raised his voice: "Where is No. 7?"
"Still insisting...80%, 70%, 60%...Okay, okay, it's down, the No. 9 thruster is fine!"
Ye Han slumped softly in the chair, as if all the energy in his body was drained out in an instant: "Finally, I saved one... How is No. 7?"
"The reaction chamber is severely deformed, but it can still be used. It is recommended that the output power should not exceed 50%."
"It's good if it works." Ye Han felt relieved.
Ye Han was not the only one who breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone on the ship was relieved. Everyone who heard the news had no second reaction.
If even the last propeller is damaged, the Leishan will completely lose power. It will be unable to accelerate, decelerate, or turn, and will have to rely on inertia to fly forward. Unless Beiyuezhou sends a ship to rescue, it will have to stay in space.
Keep wandering in it.
Of course, there are a lot of supplies on the Leishan, the crew can hibernate independently, and the reactor is not short of fuel. Floating for three to five years is not a problem at all, but when you have the opportunity to control your destiny, who is willing to leave it to luck?
?
The Leishan continued to move forward, but only a few minutes later, He Lu reported in a low voice: "Captain, the enemy ship has not given up yet!"
Ye Han's eyes widened: "They are speeding up again?"
"That's not the case. I guarantee they won't be able to stop us, but the distance may be closer..."
"That's okay." Ye Han was very open-minded.
The speeds on both sides are not slow, and the directions are different. As long as they don't collide head-on, the contact time is only ten or eight seconds at most. The aliens don't have nuclear bombs, so no matter how bad the Leishan is, it won't be unable to survive.
He Ludao: "But they should also know that they can't stop us, right? It's unreasonable to continue to follow us if they can't stop us."
"The aliens must have a backup plan... We also have anti-aircraft missiles, right?"
"have!"
"When you see the opportunity, you'll hit when you need to, including naval guns."
He Lu was puzzled: "All the shells have been fired..."
"Is it really lit?"
He Ludeng was stunned: "It's all lit!"
Ye Han reminded: "There are still three damaged turrets!"
He Lu suddenly realized it and slapped his forehead: "Oh, how could I forget them!"
Those turrets were damaged, but only the turrets were damaged, not the ammunition depot under the turrets!
Ye Han smiled slightly: "It's not too late to remember now. Immediately organize people to move the artillery shells. Use as many people as you can to move as many as you can. Nuclear artillery shells are given priority, hurry!"
Luo Qi interjected: "Commander, leave this task to me. I will organize the team members to go there. The corridor is only so big. If there are too many people, it will get in the way."
Ye Han made a decision immediately: "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll ask the mechanical repair team to assist you and assign a group of people to you. It's up to you whether to use it or not. My only request is that you must hurry up. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Luo Qi nodded solemnly, "Commander, where should the moved artillery shells be sent? Nearby or concentrated?"
"Just stay close and save time."
Before Luo Qi left, He Lu hurriedly said: "Captain, I suggest you choose a turret on each front and back, so that the upper and lower firepower is more balanced. If there is still time, it is best to fire a few rounds from the remaining turrets. At the critical moment.
It may not be useful."
Ye Han nodded in agreement and raised his voice: "Luo Qi, do you hear me clearly?"
"It's clear, don't worry!"
Regarding the issue of engine overload, it should have been said before that military equipment has relatively high design redundancy. In addition, as mentioned in previous chapters, the thruster reaction chamber is deformed.
