Chapter 367 Jakartapur
The autopilot program started, and the Yinyue shuttle drew a silver arc over the Chaos Star, rushing out of the sea of fire as quickly as a fish jumping over a dragon gate, and shot towards the relay station.
A few minutes later, when the shuttle arrived at its destination and slowly moored into the small harbor in the inner ring area, Claire's nervousness finally eased. She seemed to regret her absurd behavior just now, and looked at Tang with a little apology. Fang hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Does it still hurt?"
Tang Fang has the ability to regenerate at a high speed. This little skin trauma is nothing.
Hearing the girl's apologetic and worried question, she didn't feel the bad water started again. She opened the collar to let her take a look, and said in her ear, "Look, it's all gone down, why don't you... take another bite?"
"Pfft." Claire gave him a hard look, "What an enemy!"
"I know, it hurts your heart when it bites me, hahaha..." Tang Fang teased as he parked the shuttle on the apron and let the traction equipment pull it into the warehouse of the small harbor.
After jumping off the shuttle, Claire said, "I'll cook." She hurriedly ran towards the area where the Morning Star was located.
"This girl, you know how to be shy..." Tang Fang stroked his right shoulder, smiled slightly, and turned to walk towards the control center of the relay station. Judging from the experience just now, the crust of Chaos Star is becoming more and more unstable, and it may explode one day. Although the shield system of the relay station is already online, there is no danger of loss. However, there is no big mistake in being careful, so just fly a little farther and leave the space where Chaos Star is located.
...
Nothing else. On the second day, on the "Omega-2" relay station far away from Chaos Star.
The gate of the main star port opened slowly, and the morning star was pushed out of the dock and entered the area covered by the shield. Compared with when it came, the shape of the ship is different. A set of small propeller arrays is added to the left and right wings of the Trident propeller.
Because the antimatter thruster array is directly connected to the zero element reactor, it can be viewed from behind during conventional flight. The Morningstar has only the Trident thruster array working.
The Morning Star is just a destroyer, and its most powerful firepower is the two-string six-gun railgun. Under normal circumstances, they are performing escort missions and do not have the ability to attack fortifications. However, after the shaped cannon was installed, its combat effectiveness suddenly increased several times, and ordinary cruisers could not resist its power.
However, it is strange that, except for the anti-matter auxiliary thruster array behind the tail, there are no signs of unnecessary modifications. The weapon system is still a two-string railgun set and a quincunx-shaped rapid-fire gun array below.
After driving out from the main star port of the relay station,
The gate above the Morning Star opened, and a Charles Federation-made "Migratory Bird" class space shuttle flew out from the tarmac, then activated the warp drive, and sank into the virtual space in a flash.
On the bridge of the Morningstar, watching the "migratory bird" shuttle carrying two machine gunners disappear, Tang Fang took the coffee from Claire and sat back in the captain's seat.
On the central command platform in front, the holographic projection equipment interweaves a "Lost Land" star map in midair, most of which are covered by red spots. There is only one winding path, marked with a bright gold line.
While drinking coffee, Tang Fang squinted at Xing Tu and remained silent. The shuttle has been released. According to his instructions, the two machine gunners will contact the Morningstar after a one-hour short warp flight to verify whether the route is feasible.
As for why it is a short-distance warp speed voyage of one hour, rather than a more reliable day or week, it is because the perception range of the interstellar system has its limit. When Marion occupied the orbital starport when he was in Croatan, After thoroughly mastering the entire Aslam star system. Tang Fang once did an experiment, commanding a machine gunner to drive a space shuttle for a long voyage. To confirm the maximum remote control distance of the system.
The result of this experiment is that the farthest perception distance of the system is 0.5 light-years.
That is to say. The units summoned from the StarCraft 2 system will lose control once the distance between him and him exceeds 0.5 light years. When Nami Star appears, after he is unconscious, the summoned units will also crash. Of course, if the summoned unit was commanded before the critical point was exceeded, it will continue to act until the task is completed.
"Brother, I'm thirsty, bring me a cup too." At this moment, there was a loud yell from downstairs, Tang Fang leaned out and saw that little girl Tang Yun was pinching her waist with both hands, pouted and staring. As for him: "I've studied so hard here, but you're lucky to have a leisurely drink of coffee there."
What Xiao Nizi said made Grant, Claire, Nehemiah and others all smile.
Tang Fang looked helpless, and smiled apologetically at Claire: "It's troublesome." The girl shook her head, grabbed a cup casually, poured a cup full of steaming coffee, and told Yuffie to give it to the coquettish little girl downstairs. The girl handed it over.
"This is what you have to learn, who can blame it? Don't learn if you think it's hard work." Tang Fang gave her an annoyed look.
Speaking of which, Xiao Nizi is very talented in starship piloting. It only took half a day yesterday to learn the driving skills of the shuttle machine. The course, which shocked Walton greatly. You must know that Freya studied with her. The former was trained at the Megal Naval Academy and had a foundation. With the help of body memory, she was able to go far beyond the ordinary. Learn to fly a shuttle at human speed.
Tang Yun was different. Before being taken away from Rector by Tang Fang, she was just a little girl who knew nothing. How could it be possible for her to master the driving skills of the shuttle in only a dozen hours?
Walton found Tang Fang and informed him of the matter. Afterwards, Tang Fang retrieved the driving records of the shuttle, and based on various data, Emma gave him an answer after analyzing the content. Tang Yun has a superior talent in mastering balance, physique and mental system. For example, for an aircraft like the Viking fighter, which has extremely high requirements for pilots, as long as the training method is correct, Tang Yun can master the driving skills in a very short period of time.
Even for a military cadet like Bai Hao who has received special training, it took more than half a month to be able to drive freely. He has been rated as an S-level pilot by Emma, but Tang Yun is even better in terms of adaptability one chip.
Of course, Tang Fang is not willing to let his younger sister fly a combat aircraft like a Viking fighter, she is 16 years old. It's better to stay in the room quietly and have some witty words with Freya, and discuss the little boy stars in the entertainment industry.
He had a good idea, but he didn't expect Xiao Nizi to have great ambitions. After learning how to drive a shuttle, he went to tinker with other aircraft. Tang Fang had a very headache. I had no choice but to bring her to the bridge. Since she was interested in flying aircraft, it was better to have her under my nose than to let her mess around on my own. Hence, the scene just now happened.
"Hmph." Tang Yun made a face at him, took the coffee from Yuffie, and offered it to the female lieutenant who explained the functions of the various modules of the console to her like a treasure. Ingratiately said: "Master... drink coffee."
Well, this little girl's movie... Tang Fang smiled wryly and shook his head.
In the distance, Nehemiah, Grant and others couldn't help laughing, and they all burst into laughter. After a long time, the little girl came up with the idea of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.
Who is Tang Yun, Tang Fang's real sister, Baby Pimple, definitely belongs to the existence of a little princess. The female lieutenant in the driving group who was in charge of teaching her ship electrical knowledge looked astonished: "Master... master? Master?" Then she giggled coquettishly: "My good sister, just call me sister, master? Don't you call me old?" gone?"
"Hmm..." Tang Yun thought about it seriously: "That's right. Then... my sister drinks coffee." Seeing this scene, everyone smiled knowingly.
...
Time is like sand in the palm of your hand, passing water in the east. An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Just when Tang Fang was sleepy and dozed off on the sofa, the upper right corner of the monitor in front of the central command platform flashed, and an envelope pattern appeared, and the ship officer Yuffie turned his head and said in surprise: "Captain, 'Migratory Bird' Communication request from shuttle."
Tang Fang woke up suddenly: "Immediately display the direction of the 'migratory bird'."
"Yes." Yuffie pressed the button casually, and the golden route on the star map was enlarged, and the "Migratory Bird" class shuttle carrying two machine gunners appeared less than 0.1 light-year away from the Morning Star.
Although only 0.1 light years. Compared with the distance from "Omega-2" to the other side of the buffer zone of more than 50 light years, it is only a leaf of pine. However, this scene fully proved that Tang Fang's thinking was correct.
Within 0.1 light-years between Morningstar and Migratory Bird class shuttle. There are nearly a hundred erythema areas affected by the dimensional storm. Now, according to the warp speed route set by Emma, the shuttle safely bypassed those red spot areas and appeared at the target location. If nothing else, this route will lead them out of the "Lost Land".
"Successful!" Grant, Nehemiah and others knew what this meant very well. This is a great route, a real golden route, a technological road connecting human society and the "Lost Land". More importantly, it only belongs to people like myself, a back garden full of Ypsilon relics, private land!
Tang Fang has briefly introduced the purpose of this trip to them. Once the "Ashtolando" system is restructured, the "Lost Land" is like a technological treasure house with its doors open. The wreckage of "Omega-2" warships What is it, Tang Fang told them, such as the "Alpha-7" star system, where there is a complete Ypsilon shipyard.
"Pilot crew, set the course and set off immediately." After sending the "Migratory Bird" shuttle ahead of him the instruction "Lead the way ahead", Tang Fang looked at the people around him and nodded, and gave the order to set sail.
"Course calibration completed..."
"The plasma propulsion system is offline, the zero element reactor is preheated, and the zero element is injected, and the output power is 78%..."
"The parameters are set, the curvature is 6.5, the countdown to the activation of the warp drive, 10, 9, 8..."
After a few breaths, with the construction of the curved force field, the main thruster at the rear of the Morning Star burst out a fiery red flame, and the battleship turned into a flash of light, and disappeared into the virtual space in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the dark space of "Omega-2".
...
The Jakartapur star system is a binary star system. Jakartapur i and Jakartapur orbit slowly around the center of mass between them. The distance between the two stars is very close. Whenever the Jakartapur activity is intense, the larger Jakartapur i will be very rough. He tore off a part of the scorching shell from his younger brother, and took it into his arms. Over time, Jakartapur became darker with the passage of time, but Jakartapur was a raging fire, spreading its prestige far and wide.
As a star system adjacent to the buffer zone of the "Lost Land", the fifth planet "Brokisk" to which "Jakartapur" belongs was transformed into a habitable planet by the Star Alliance. And the "Lokia" star port will be built in high-altitude orbit to provide accommodation, entertainment, supplies and other services for merchant ships, adventurers, passing passengers, mercenaries, freelancers, etc.
In addition to the free market tax share in the center of the Tiannest star area, a part of the surrounding "Lost Land" serves star ports. It is also a source of income that cannot be ignored by the Star Alliance.
Every day, "Jakartapur" will welcome a large number of explorers, business groups, pirates in disguise, mercenaries who will do anything as long as the price is right, and bounty hunters who are moved by the wind.
Among these people. Explorers accounted for the vast majority, and they usually came in groups and had their own warships.
"The Lost Land" is the center of the lost Ypsilon civilization, just like a young dancer in a nightclub, she would tear off her tube top and leave it in the stands from time to time, causing a lot of looting.
That's why the explorers came here. In the vast starless area with a buffer bandwidth of 30 light-years, no one knows whether there will be relics in any corner. Or the wreck of a battleship. Although you can't travel at warp speed, you can still fly conventionally. Moreover, it is not impossible for pies to fall from the sky. When a battleship is flying, suddenly a piece of wreckage appears in the radar detection radius.
As long as you get a piece of wreckage from a warship, it will be worth tens of millions of star alliance coins. Who can't be tempted? Ever since, in the past hundred years, the number of explorers has not been small. On the contrary, there are more and more gatherings, and they are becoming more organized, and even professional expedition teams have emerged.
There are business opportunities. There will be profit-seeking businessmen. If there is interest, there will be a tyrant who licks blood with a knife. Therefore, business groups, pirates, mercenaries, bounty hunters and so on also followed.
Under such a background, one can imagine the scale of the "Lokia" starport, and Rector's twin starports together cannot match it.
On this day, as usual, "Lokia" was brightly lit and the buoys flashed. Warships come and go like weaving, and all kinds of ships are moored on the tens of kilometers long pier. Battleships, cargo ships, engineering ships, large shuttles, and so on.
Huge billboards hang on both sides of the waterway, and slogans can be seen everywhere. There are digital products, ship equipment, special food, and even girls with clearly marked prices. Of course, the promotional poster of the new album of Galaxy Demon Girl is indispensable.
Large and small ships entered and left the port following the guidance of navigation marks, law enforcement ships spray-painted with the Star Alliance logo patrolled around the space station, and one engineering boat after another sorted out the garbage floating in the air and transported it to the "Bud Rocky'sk" space junk disposal plant.
Like the star system under the rule of the Monya Empire, the edge of "Jakartapur" also has warp speed jump interception nets to deal with possible threats.
"Brokisk" time, at 3 o'clock in the morning, a destroyer about 200 meters long greeted an entry port on the edge of "Jakartapur". After registering the spaceship number, captain information, and simple security checks, the immigration management department removed the interception facilities and let the ship sail towards "Logia".
This 200-meter-long battleship is naturally the Morning Star that safely escaped from the "Lost Land" and entered the area under the jurisdiction of the Star Alliance in the Tiannest Star Region.
At this moment, Tang Fang was sitting in the captain's seat, staring at the Tianchao star map in front of him. With the "migratory bird class" shuttle clearing the way, it took more than two months for the Morning Star to fly out of the "Lost Land" and its surrounding buffer zone. More than 2 months, if you add more than 20 days spent by the "Omega-2" relay station. It has been 3 months since Rector's resupply was completed, and there is an urgent need for resupply. This is especially manifested in daily necessities. Although there is no shortage of drinking water, food is scarce, which is not enough to support the Morning Star to reach the "Babylon" star system where the free market in the Tiannest Star Region is located.
As for the spacecraft fuel, there are still nearly 10 tons of zero element stock, and the fuel consumption of the Morning Star is enough to last for several years. As for the nuclear reactor, it is best to replenish some raw materials. The nuclear energy consumption of the plasma shield is not low.
Based on the above thoughts, Tang Fang issued an order to dock for supplies.
The closest service starport to the exit of the Golden Channel is the "Lukia" space station of the "Jakartabul" star system, which is under the jurisdiction of the Star Alliance in the Tiannest star area.
Speaking of the Star Alliance, he couldn't help but think of the social structure of the Tianchao Star District. As a unique existence in the Hillenbel Region, the Tianchao Star District has a lot to do with the Mongya Empire, the Sulu Empire, and the Charles Federation.
In these countries, star regions are generally composed of several to dozens of star systems, which are administrative divisions. The Heavenly Nest star region has a vast territory, as large as three Mongya empires, and the number of star systems is as many as thousands, almost comparable to the smallest large star region.
Not only that, the composition of forces in the Tianchao star area is also very distinctive. The so-called Star Alliance is not a country occupying the Tianchao star area, but an alliance composed of multiple forces. In addition to the Star Alliance, there are 4 other forces with their own characteristics in the Tiannest star area.
Speaking of the power composition of the Tianchao star region, it is necessary to introduce its history. Because of the existence of the "Lost Land", the Tianchao star area has had its special status since the time of the federal government.
After the major powers rising in the earth era entered the cosmic civilization, although the Interstellar Federation Parliament (referred to as the Star Federation) was established to coordinate and deal with many problems that occurred during the interstellar colonization process, due to the differences in political opinions and cultures among countries and organizations, , On some sensitive issues involving core interests, there are also differences of one kind or another.
