"Woo...Woo...Woo..." A sharp siren sounded on the battleship, and sailors wearing astronaut equipment one after another ran nervously in the long and slightly crowded aisle.
From time to time, sailors would join these running companions while wearing their combat uniforms.
At the same time, many people left the team near their combat posts and got into the cabins where they fought.
Several female clone soldiers with QR codes printed on their foreheads are helping the pilots put on their equipment. They will check every detail carefully and follow the process completely without missing anything.
The pilot's equipment includes a sensor helmet connected to the brain, and a tight-fitting spacesuit that stores oxygen on the back. Vital sign recorders are installed on each pilot's wrist and heart position to provide true feedback on the pilot's life status.
As long as the pilot's life state continues, this spacesuit will continue to send lights and survival signals of various frequency bands to space.
After fastening the last fastener, all the female clone ground crew members stood in a row, stood at attention and saluted the pilot in front of them: "Long live the Empire!"
"Long live the Empire!" Holding his helmet, the pilot returned a military salute, then was surrounded by the takeoff ground crew responsible for taking them into the Zaku, and walked towards the Zaku that belonged to him.
Not far away, an old ground crew member was waving his hands, reminding his apprentices to be careful of the ejection mounts on the sides of Zaku's feet.
The function of these mounting devices is self-explanatory, they are used to eject these Zakus. They will be hung on the electromagnetic ejection device and fixed by a one-time riveted reinforcement structure.
When they are accelerated to the extreme and fly away from the aircraft carrier, these reinforcement devices will break and will not be thrown into the universe together with Zaku, but will remain on the catapult.
He shouted while instructing his apprentices to fix these devices: "Hang the electromagnetic catapult on both feet! Yes, the riveted structure is reinforced! Don't be stunned, cooperate with the driver to check the propellant filling!"
Following his command, these ground staff, who had been trained countless times, smoothly installed the fixed components one by one at Zaku's feet.
"Fault team... bring up the testing equipment! Check the leakage and pressure of all Zakus who will be sent out later! Pay attention to the pressure!" Another ground worker pulled the pipe and connected the pressure testing device behind the leg of a Zaku.
On the interface with an armored cover on the side, he glanced at the pressure gauge and shouted loudly.
Beside him, a group of ground crew members wearing spacesuits were working hard to connect other equipment to a Zaku that was being debugged.
These sophisticated big guys need a lot of preparation work before dispatching, even more than the Z-fighter.
However, because their combat effectiveness is also stronger, everyone is willing to waste time on such boring inspections.
The crane is hoisting an energy rocket launcher onto the shoulders of Zaku who is preparing to set off. This thing is very large and is usually stored on the other side of the hangar.
It can also be seen that other staff members wearing space suits walked around the slightly messy ground and checked whether every charging line that had been connected to the Zaku equipment was safely closed.
Beside them, there were some weapons and equipment ground staff who raised their heads, looked at the tall Zaku, and asked loudly in the communication channel: "Have the weapons been mounted? The ammunition physical insurance has been released! Check again.
, don’t cause trouble!”
With his voice, the seeker safety devices on the missile were lifted and some insurances were opened. The moment the image-guided missile camera was powered on, it swayed flexibly like human eyes and turned in a circle.
Return to the straight ahead position.
These decoy missiles are used to distract the enemy's short-range air defense weapons during an attack. Each Zaku will carry a total of 30 such missiles on its legs, shoulders and back, and can also take care of some short-range missiles.
Fighting ability.
However, everyone knows that the truly deadly weapons of these Zaku are the shoulder-mounted energy cannon and the particle ray gun in their hands.
Of course there is a lightsaber similar to Faith! A weapon that makes Chris feel extremely embarrassed. Yes, he is the only one in the world who is embarrassed by this weapon, because he is the only one who insists that Zaku’s weapon
It should be an axe.
Except for him, everyone else thought that the lightsaber was more handsome and more in line with Zaku's temperament, so the lightsaber became Zaku's weapon.
Although Chris had the ability to force Zaku to use weapons, from a practical point of view, the lightsaber was indeed more suitable, so Chris had to pinch his nose and endure it for actual combat.
After all, this thing has borrowed technology from the Sky Sword Sect from the beginning of its development, and it has to take care of the emotions of the Sky Sword Sect and the Nine Nether Sect to a certain extent.
You can't just borrow other people's technology to forcibly develop an axe, right? That would be a really shocking change.
Moreover, lightsabers are also a better choice for the entire Elanshir Empire. Because of the same technology, the feelings of power mechas and grenadiers must be taken into account, right?
Therefore, compared to feelings and obsessions, Chris still prefers the lightsaber. As for Zaku's ax, he can only let it live in the memory of His Majesty the Emperor.
At this time, the ground crew had nervously begun the final inspection. A petty officer shouted loudly in the cabin: "Last inspection! Is the energy reserve full... Computer-aided defense system self-check! Don't go wrong!"
The ground crew in spacesuits nervously checked Zaku who had been fixed on the catapult. They waved the light sticks in their hands and directed the following Zaku to enter the waiting area.
Near the open cockpit on Zaku's chest, the ground crew helped the pilots connect the sensor lines and help them enter the aircraft.
On the other side, the ground crew who watched these pilots enter the aircraft were already loudly reminding their companions: "The second group of pilots enters the Zaku cockpit...the first group prepares to eject!"
"Long live the Ilanthil Empire!" Olank, who was already prepared to sit in Zagone, took one last look at the ground staff on both sides of him who were getting out of the way, and shouted loudly in the communication channel.
Along with his shout, the electromagnetic catapult under his feet was activated, and the Zaku where he was immediately rushed forward at full speed.
In an instant, the overload exceeded 12G, which was beyond the limit that normal people can bear. However, who made Olanke a genetically modified super pilot?
The astronauts who got out of the way of the runway also used the most solemn military salute to bid farewell to Olanke who was rushing into the universe. In the communication channel, Olanke also heard the dispatcher's shout in the control tower: "Return safely! His Majesty the Emperor
Long live!"
"Olanke, Zaku... dispatch!" The moment he flew out of the spaceship, Olanke saw the starry sky he was familiar with, and saw the fleet with no end in sight like a vast ocean.
At the same time, on another Zaku aircraft carrier, super ace pilot Yilan Raymond also flew out of the cabin: "Ilan, Zaku... dispatch!"
After more and more Zaku flew out of the cabin, these Zaku troops began to form formations in the universe.
During the formation process, the entire communication channel began to become lively: "The communication test has begun! The channel is clear! The quantum communication equipment is operating normally!"
The passwords for the test communication channel came one after another. After more and more people used the channel, although there was a little confusion in the channel, there was no delay or lag.
The communication system of the entire battlefield is actually a very complex architecture, and not thousands or even tens of thousands of people are using the same channel.
Each Zaku unit has its own independent channel, and all Zakus on each aircraft carrier battleship also have a communication channel. There are also common channels between them and the aircraft carrier command and dispatch.
To enable so many people to use so many channels at the same time without interfering with each other is actually a very huge project.
Even measured by the current technology of the Elanshir Empire, it is actually a very cutting-edge technology level.
The profile lights behind Zaku flashed and began to gradually move away from his own fleet. These small weapons were moving rapidly towards the enemy fleet.
These Zaku gradually formed a dense formation along the ejection trajectory, and their red paint made it easier for them to blend into the darkness of the universe.
At the same time, flying towards the Watcher fleet, there are also backup devices for battlefield communications. These devices fly at a slower speed. After the battle breaks out, they need to strengthen the communication signal in the chaos to supplement the communication strength.
In the bridge of the battleship, an officer reported the status of these devices to the captain of the aircraft carrier: "Report! The battlefield communication transfer equipment has been shot to the combat area 20 minutes in advance, and is expected to arrive at the battlefield at the same time as Zaku!"
"The backup communication device is working normally! The channel has been cleared!" Another officer reported at the same time.
"The cover bombardment will start in ten seconds... five, four, three, two, one! It's starting!" Almost at the same time, the officer responsible for contacting other fleet formations shouted loudly.
Along with his shouts, the charged main guns of the more distant battleships began to roar: "Boom...boom!"
One after another, the rays of light cut through the dark starry sky. Viewed from the side, these lines looked almost airtight, like a huge beam of light.
Looking at the scene outside the porthole, an aircraft carrier ground crew who saw such a scene for the first time widened his eyes and subconsciously exclaimed: "It's so spectacular!"
"Yeah, with such a spectacular bombardment, the enemy didn't even appear to collapse at all..." Beside him, another ground crew member who had seen his own warship sunk, Youyou said.
"It seems that our enemy is really powerful and scary." This ground crew member who was participating in a fleet battle for the first time was stunned for a moment, then looked at the distance where the light was connected and couldn't see clearly, and said.
He knew that just over there, the enemy fleet was also overwhelming, with no end in sight.
While these little people in the fleet were looking at the bright starry sky, time was passing by minute by minute.
Everyone is waiting, waiting for the variables they expect to see that can affect the entire battle situation to appear.
Another female officer sitting next to the captain loudly reported the location information returned by the Zaku troops on the front line: "The first batch of Zaku troops sent back signals. They are approaching the enemy fleet! Electromagnetic interference has begun!"
The officer who was communicating with the fleet looked at the projection of the battlefield situation and reminded loudly: "The enemy fleet is trying to attack the defense line on our flank. The two sides are fiercely exchanging fire in the No. 844 space on the flank. We should be able to see it here."
"Yes, I saw it." The first mate standing near the porthole said with some worry as he looked at the battlefield visible to the naked eye in the distance.
In his field of vision, dense lines of black energy came, intertwined with the light emitted by the Eilanhir Empire. Right in front of his eyes, a cruiser exploded and broke, and sank before his eyes.
"The warship stationed in Space 844 seems to have sunk a cruiser, right?" The adjutant turned around and spoke about what he had just seen.
"This is just the beginning. Soon our battleships will run out of defensive magic energy, and more battleships will be sunk by then." The captain frowned and spoke with some emotion.
"Report! The Zaku troops have crossed the central axis of both sides... They are close to the enemy fleet." While everyone was waiting anxiously, a report made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Based on the analysis of past combat data, the enemy will send out killer carrier-based aircraft to intercept our carrier-based aircraft within 20 minutes." About twenty minutes later, a female officer gave the information about the enemy's carrier-based aircraft.
Time prediction of opportunity encounters.
"Publish a message to all pilots to get them ready for battle... Where are the second batch of follow-up strike groups... where are they?" the captain asked.
"The Z-type fighter formation has just crossed the central axis..." The officer in charge of liaison answered the captain's question loudly.
"A communication relay has been destroyed! The enemy fleet's carrier-based aircraft have begun to take action!" Not far away, an officer frowned and reported the losses just now.
A few seconds later, the shout of an officer in charge of dispatching broke the brief calm in the bridge: "Zaku's troops encountered the enemy! Enemy encountered! The battle between the two sides begins!"
In front of Olank, densely packed Killer carrier-based aircraft were rushing toward him, and behind him, Zaku, who was obviously inferior in number to his opponent, also began to disperse his formation in an instant.
"Fight! Fight!" Olank, who passed by a Killer carrier-based aircraft, commanded loudly while controlling Zaku to avoid the incoming black energy group.
While giving the order, he aimed at a target ahead, picked up the particle ray gun in his hand, and pulled the trigger on the weapon.
"Chirp!" A bright ray flew out and penetrated the Slayer in front. Then, its power was not reduced at all, and penetrated another Slayer behind...
