Walking through the air corridor with airtight and radiation protection measures.
Sui Bian, Leon, the Red and White Queens and the Dark Angels can take a look at the dock area that is the "entry and exit" of Luna Base.
In addition to the three side-by-side docks, there are a large number of helipads equipped with robotic arms.
Parked on the apron are the Yugull, Cassowary, Saker and other aerial vehicles dedicated to the armed forces that are reinforced by mechanical arms.
There is also a ship that looks like the Cassowary, but is three times larger than the Cassowary, and looks like a small ship.
The dock area of Luna Base is actually a star port.
This kind of small ship is used by Umbrella for its own use and is also a civilian ship for external sales.
It can accommodate 400 people at a time. It only takes six days to travel between the earth and the moon. It has an internal life system that can last for three weeks.
For commercial ships, even economy class passengers have a small sleeping cabin, but they still need to go to the shared washroom to wash or shower.
In business class, the sleeping space is enlarged, and there is almost no need to queue in the public washroom.
Finally, there is the luxury business class. The cabin is not only large, but also has a separate bathroom. Of course, the price is much more expensive than international flights on earth.
However, the civilian ships parked here are Umbrella's own models.
There is no distinction between economy and business class. All sleeping cabins have the same space, and there are six more shared washrooms than those sold abroad.
The most important thing is that Umbrella reimburses employees for taking ships to and from the earth and the moon, so there is no need to spend money to buy tickets.
Although Sui Bian needs to consider all aspects, such as the cost of this and the consumption of that, in fact, Umbrella is not short of money, so he provides countless benefits to his employees.
Especially for employees who have signed formal contracts and confidentiality agreements, various reimbursements and bonuses, including immediate family members going to Umbrella's general hospital for surgery, hospitalization and medicine are approximately free, which is equivalent to one person joining the job and the whole family enjoying the benefits.
Walking in the sky corridor equipped with a flat escalator, Sui Bian has been silently observing the Griffin parked in the No. 2 dock.
He could see the bridge at the front of the ship and the three twin cannons on the top of the hull. There should be several more twin cannons in other parts, but he couldn't see clearly due to the angle.
Moreover, the caliber of the twin guns is far inferior to that of the Goshawk-class 300mm plasma secondary gun, let alone the electromagnetic gun used as the main gun.
Sui Bian remembered that this twin cannon was designed to be an energy weapon that could emit high-energy beams, and had a cheesy name - "laser cannon".
This kind of laser weapon is quite practical in the "naval battle" of the universe, but if it is in the atmosphere, it will be affected by fine particles such as dust, water droplets, and ice crystals in the atmosphere, causing scattering attenuation.
If you encounter haze, blizzard or heavy rain, laser weapons will be even more hindered.
Umbrella is not without laser weapon technology. In fact, before redeeming the Griffin, Sui Bian spent 800 points from the system mall to redeem the M36 Catrell laser rifle from a certain hammer.
It can also be called a "flashlight".
The M36 gun weighs 2.6kg, has a gun length of 920mm, a "magazine" capacity of 21 megagrams, and a maximum rate of fire of 240 rounds per minute.
Its "magazine" is not a live ammunition magazine in the traditional sense, but a rechargeable and reusable battery.
The M36 has no ballistics to speak of. In theory, if you aim and pull the trigger, the beam emitted from the barrel will hit the target.
Although the M36 or other series of laser rifles are always jokingly called "flashlights", which do little harm, it is actually a misunderstanding.
After all, the "big guys" who use M36 laser rifles need to fight against all kinds of ghosts and gods, so they look so much like flashlights.
Although the damage caused by the M36 to entities is far inferior to that of the plasma shoulder cannon, it is cheaper and does not require a nuclear fusion reactor for energy, only a battery magazine.
With good stability and reliability, and low maintenance costs, individual energy weapons are no longer exclusive to the Astartes and Primarchs.
The current Charon and Task Force 141 have been fully equipped with M36 and derivative laser weapons. Depending on the combat environment, they can be used interchangeably with pulse firearms.
So looking at the twin laser cannons on the Griffin, Sui Bian didn't think it was strange, but thought that this thing was not as reliable as the plasma cannon.
"Queen Bai." Then he looked back and said: "Inform the Eastern European manufacturing plant to speed up the production of three jump engines, and then retrofit the three Goshawk-class ships.
Finally, let Luna Base make arrangements to replace all the Griffin's laser cannons with plasma cannons, and install pulse close-in defense arrays as appropriate."
"Yes sir." Queen Bai promised.
After saying that, everyone continued to walk towards the end of the sky corridor.
Leave the hallway.
Arriving at the terminal building of the star port, everyone entered the exclusive passage without stopping, then passed through the covered bridge that was also sealed and protected against radiation, and directly entered an exclusive space shuttle that was only slightly larger than the Cassowary.<
/p>
The screen turned, overlooking the star port directly opposite the three docks.
The corridor bridge was retracted away, the fixed robotic arm was deployed, and the exclusive space shuttle left the apron vertically and flew towards a small gate above.
The gate slowly unfolds.
The moment the gap opened, the sun's direct rays of light poured into the interior of the dock, reflecting the various vehicles and starport buildings on the apron.
Moreover, when the gate is unfolded, there is no gas leakage due to the difference in internal and external pressure.
The gate is fully opened for the exclusive space shuttle to pass through, leaving the dock and star port, and arriving above the lunar sea outside the gate.
Looking out from the cockpit of the space shuttle, all we can see is the gray plain at the bottom of the lunar sea, as well as the giant gate in the center of the plain and the extremely dazzling sun.
Subsequently, the space shuttle ascended vertically away from the lunar maria, and finally reached the upper orbit of the moon.
While unfolding the optical camouflage, accelerate and prepare to use the increased speed of the gravity slingshot to return to the earth.
The space shuttle is equipped with a small nuclear fusion engine and has a complete life support system inside, including sleeping cabins, bathrooms and other cabins and rooms.
Using the gravitational slingshot effect, it only takes 26 hours to travel between the earth and the moon, which is much faster than civilian ships. After all, it is exclusive.
For Sui Bian, taking the exclusive space shuttle back to Earth is actually equivalent to an international flight on Earth, and it will not delay his normal work and rest.

December 26.
London, which is eight hours ahead of Los Angeles, is in the noon time.
In London in winter, although there are rarely heavy snowstorms like those in Los Angeles, the sky is always shrouded in dark clouds, and the city is also cold and humid.
But at this time, there were many vehicles and pedestrians on the streets of London, especially at the entrances and exits of major shopping malls.
It's Boxing Day after Christmas. While people are enjoying the holidays, they are also enjoying the promotions of major shopping malls.
Among the congested traffic, there was a car belonging to Umbrella.
