Prenacre was once the commander of a squadron. At that time, he used to gallop on the sea and enjoy the bumps of the waves.
Now, he has been transferred to the Space Force and became a destroyer captain. Now he commands an exploration-class destroyer that is larger than a battleship, flying several light years back and forth every day.
It's not that the current space army has no tasks, on the contrary, their tasks are very arduous, so heavy that it makes people despair.
This is definitely not an exaggeration, but a fact. Didn’t you see that poor Marshal Lawns was left with only himself as a bare commander, also doing the job of a captain?
At the same time, General Tuke, who is the commander of the Space Force's First Fleet, is now commanding an exploration-class space destroyer and performs the same tasks as Plunkeye every day.
There is no other way. Now everyone can only command the battleship, constantly go to each confirmed jump point, check the security of the space domain calculated by the computer, and re-correct some minor errors.
Although the star map is very complete, it still needs a lot of inspection before it can be finalized.
Now the destroyer force of the military is doing this kind of proofreading work - by the way, after proofreading, it also conducts long-distance voyage exercises.
This kind of training is essential. The space military must ensure that every crew member of its spacecraft has undergone long-term space navigation training.
In order to cultivate this kind of long-distance training capability, the current Airan Hill Discovery-class space destroyer has twice the crew.
Half of the people inside were temporarily recruited to learn and accumulate experience, so that after the new warship is put into service, they can quickly master the driving and control of the spacecraft.
"Confirmation completed! Sir! The data on the star map is accurate, and there is no problem with our location." After checking the coordinates on the star map, a crew member reported to Plunkett.
As the captain, Plunkeye sat in his seat and ordered: "Enter the next training subject! Live-fire shooting drill! The target is a meteorite 1,200 kilometers away. Can the target be locked?"
"The target has been locked!" The detection operator saw the feedback and shouted loudly: "The coordinate signal has been entered into the computer!"
"Adjust the position of the battleship! Report on the charging status of the energy torpedo!" Plunkeye glanced at the data panel in front of him and ordered the weapons operator.
"The energy torpedo has been charged!"
"The attitude adjustment of the battleship is in progress! Thirteen degrees! Ten degrees! Five degrees! Three degrees! One degree! Aim at the target!" The pilot responsible for controlling the attitude of the battleship gently pressed the telex joystick while looking at the spacecraft.
shouted the flight angle.
"Fire!" Plenacre ordered loudly the moment the other party shouted to aim at the target.
The weapons operator, whose finger was already on the torpedo launch button, quickly pressed the red button in front of him.
At this moment, the huge dark energy injection device on the bow of the Discovery-class space destroyer suddenly lit up with a heart-stopping light.
In an instant, a light blue focused beam flashing with magical light rushed out of the launching device and rushed straight into the dark distance.
"The torpedo has been launched! It will take an hour to reload..." the weapons operator looked at the empty energy bar and reported in a depressed tone.
Because it requires cooling and an energy storage device to continue working, this ultra-powerful energy torpedo launcher requires a very long charging and cooling time.
There is no way. If you want power, you have to pay a corresponding price. After all, this kind of energy weapon is not a very mature design yet.
However, although it still has many shortcomings, as the first high-power close-range attack weapon of the Space Army, the energy torpedo still has its unique advantages.
First of all, its advantage is its superior power. Compared with weapons such as electromagnetic guns, its destructive power can simply be described as devastating.
As long as it is hit by one shot, the sky battleships currently in service in the Airan Hill Empire will completely melt and evaporate.
To defend against such a terrifying blow, one has to use space magic - there may be other ways, but the Elanhill Empire has not found them yet.
In the entire bridge of the destroyer, everyone was waiting quietly, waiting for the violent reaction of the hit coming from the distance.
This was their first live-fire training, and even Plunkeye had never seen a real energy torpedo hit its target.
Although 1,200 kilometers is already a very far distance on the ground, in the deep universe, this distance is actually so short that it makes people feel dangerous.
In fact, it only took a short time for the energy torpedo to go away to hit the unlucky meteorite that was harmless to humans and animals.
In an instant, the meteorite, which was almost the same size as the flying Galenok, exploded together with the energy torpedo, turning into countless tiny dusts in the universe.
This is not an exaggeration, but it really turned into dust - some are the size of footballs, some are the size of cars, and some are really the same size as a grain of sand...
The shock of the explosion even caused the Space Destroyer No. 1007, which was floating 1,200 kilometers away, to jolt slightly.
"Oh my God..." Seeing the huge and spectacular explosion scene on the monitor, Plunk's thought that what he had just destroyed was not a meteorite, but a planet!
It felt really good. At this moment, Plunk fell in love with the feeling of floating in the universe and playing God!
Of course, this is just a feeling, an illusory feeling. Because energy torpedoes cannot destroy a planet, the Airanshir Empire is far from powerful enough to develop a Star Destroyer.
However, this exercise test still excited Plunk. Not only him, but the soldiers in other positions on the spacecraft were also very excited.
One cannon can destroy a city, which is definitely worth cheering for a long, long time.
"How is the data collection going?" After a while, Plunk's Aike finally recovered from the explosion that had turned into dots of starlight and asked.
An officer stared at the computer screen and reported loudly: "The image data has been collected, and other data is still being calculated and stored."
"Return these data and recharge the jump engine, gentlemen... [Biquge www.biquger.me] We can return." After hearing the report, Plunk's head nodded, and then continued to order.
"Oh!" Upon hearing the order to return, all the crew members cheered excitedly. It has been a long time since they returned to the Ailan Siris Star Ring Base.
