Origin of Mars

Chapter 117
When the one-kilometer-long battleship starship left the gliding track, rows of maintenance robots were still following it, tiny figures looming in the universe, like hovering around the side of a black giant whale school of fish.

The entire Citadel has five warship construction factories. As the first HT-51 battleship starship arrives in space, the remaining four warships also arrive in corresponding orbits one after another. After completing the final inspection work, they will also sail out one after another Glide down the track and into space.

This process needs to be completed six times before Zeus Fleet [-] can take shape.

At this time, Fang Liang was looking at the overall panel of the battleship starship, cumbersome data densely embraced, they all represent the function of each block, Fang Liang can control every corner of the battleship as he likes , In a sense, this battleship starship has a complete set of operating systems, even equivalent to a small city.

It's just that it was originally defined as an unmanned space warship, and Fang Liang couldn't find anyone who could pilot it himself. In future space wars, the purest mechanical products will be the main body of the war.

These creatures who are not afraid of pain and always follow instructions will become Fang Liang's important support.

"Start combat drills."

Fang Liang moved the data on the mask, and these jumping numbers showed diamond blue light in Fang Liang's retina. They were combined and arranged to form a series of instructions, which were sent to the battleship in space instantly.

I saw the folded armor on both sides of the battleship suddenly opened, revealing oval cabins one by one. At the moment when the bright light floated, shuttle-shaped aircraft popped up like bees. Their surfaces were covered with special wave-absorbing paint. From some angles, the trance actually merges with the deep darkness as the background.

While hundreds of micro-drones poured out, the laser turrets on both sides of the upper end of the HT-51 also folded and climbed up. All this happened in absolute silence. From the perspective of the maintenance robot, these turrets It is very huge, and what is hidden inside it is the function of a section of superconducting flywheel. With the support of nearly unlimited energy, these laser cannons will become the ultimate killer that cuts through the universe.

At this moment, the STH Command, responsible for some orbital survey satellites, just arrived at a suitable shooting angle. After a short period of data transmission, these satellites displayed all the clear pictures on the screen in front of the researchers. .

The first picture they saw was naturally the time when the HT-51 battleship sailed out of the circular suspension orbit. The smooth surface of the battleship reflected light and shadow, even on a small screen, they could still feel the direct impact soul shock,
This unbelievable scene even made the director of the department, a Mediterranean man named Gordon Phillips, stay in place until he met the eyes of other researchers, and a bright spark seemed to burst out between the intersections of the eyes, which aroused the middle-aged man. The young man trembled all over, and immediately grabbed the intercom on the table, his face flushed, but he couldn't say a word for a while.

At this time, Yu Han, Schiff and other personnel with the right to speak were all present at the second wartime report and mobilization meeting, and only Ding Hai and other scholars remained in the command center.

The survey department immediately reported the news to them.

"Professor Ding"

White walked quickly in front, unable to hide the excitement on his face, he was turning his head sideways and said to Ding Hai behind him: "Our vision has become a reality!"

"They actually built spaceships. It's unbelievable. It may not have been half a year since they were stationed on Mars."

Of course Ding Hai knew what White was going to say. When he heard the news from the walkie-talkie, his mind went blank for an instant, and he even forgot that the topic that was being discussed intensely a second ago was about the energy-gathering device. As for the operation method of the core part, several experts hold their own opinions, no one agrees with the other, and their tempers are not small.

"Six months and four weeks to be precise, Professor Ding, the concept of time is an essential characteristic of an excellent scholar."

White grinned, slowed down his steps, and spoke in a teasing tone.

But at this time, what surprised Yu Han was that he couldn't see any worry on White's face. On the contrary, he and several scholars looked like they had won the Nobel Prize. The corridor is the very bright avenue for receiving awards.

"Professor White. You don't seem to be worried at all. Aren't you afraid that this battleship can turn around and blast Blue Star into powder?"

Ding Hai didn't hide it, what was on his mind, he asked straight out of his mouth.

After a period of contact, these authoritative scholars, who were originally divided among eight poles, showed a wonderful feeling of sympathy and sympathy.

Ding Hai has to admit that science has no borders. When everyone is working hard for a common goal, this unnoticed sense of surprise has long been left behind by most people.

The conversation has also changed from being cautious and reserved at the beginning to being open and closed today. Two scholars even had a big fight over a certain idea in the morning, but they still shook hands when they met in the afternoon, and continued to discuss enthusiastically.

"There's no need to worry, buddy, they could have done this long ago. Instead of worrying about being blown to pieces by the battleship, it's better to take a look at it in a hurry."

White didn't stop walking, and Ding Hai pursed his lips and said with a smile.

"well said."

Ding Hai shook his head meaningfully and smiled, but he couldn't think of a way to refute White's words.

"For me, the exploration of unknown science is more important than life"

White suddenly paused: "Does this sound too selfish?"

"Yes, I would like to send you a word, Professor White, there are everyone first, and then there are small families."

Walking to the inspection room, White who was pushing the door was attracted by Ding Hai's words. The two looked at each other for a second, and suddenly they both laughed.

"Railgun calibration time: 17 seconds, detection radar is on, searching for targets."

And as Fang Liang issued the command for the combat simulation, the battle starship that was the first to sail into space has already entered the real battle situation. Weapons and devices are continuously released, and micro-drones like bee swarms are flying in the air. Wandering and patrolling beside it, they, finally under Fang Liang's long-awaited gaze, the whole hull began to spread out to both sides, the pitch-black rail gun was gradually raised, and at the same time, pieces of accompanying armor were moving towards the gun barrel. Coupling around patchwork to minimize the massive recoil of projectile launches.

"Calibration time countdown: ten seconds"

"Nine"

"Eight"

"Seven"

The translucent countdown numbers are displayed on Fang Liang's mask.

With the fall of every byte, rings of light are emerging on this huge rail gun barrel, and the extreme light finally erupts suddenly at the terminal, silently, like a vast and white firework blooming in the night sky , with an indescribably gorgeous beauty, bloomed in the depths of Fang Liang's pupils.

Under the huge power, the speed of this tungsten projectile can no longer be captured by the naked eye. Fang Liang can only see the dazzling light at the exit of the barrel at that moment, and before he can react, the panel shows far A meteorite a thousand kilometers away has been completely turned into countless dust, and the huge shock wave rolls these dust particles and spreads rapidly in the universe, spreading towards the surroundings like a sea tide.

This meteorite with a diameter of about 700 meters probably weighed hundreds of tons, but it turned into nothingness in an instant. If this was a foreign ship, its ending would not be so good.

Fang Liang stared at the panel, his eyes twitched, obviously unable to calm down the joy in his heart.

When this bombardment came out, it represented that the origin base finally had enough power to resist foreign enemies.

Just give yourself some time, and the number of battleships across space will skyrocket at an alarming rate.

The Citadel will not be limited to the orbit of Mars. After that, the power of the origin base will spread throughout the solar system, and the resources on every planet are worth using.

The data shows that the energy consumed by this gun accounts for about 51% of the overall power source, but under the condition of controllable nuclear fusion, the core part of HT-[-] is equivalent to being stuffed into a small artificial sun .

Energy and the like were no longer Fang Liang's worries.

All he needs to consider is, how many armor-piercing triangular tungsten bullets can a battle star carry at most?

"Sir, the combat simulation is over, perfect exercise."

The armor began to close, and the miniature drone was retracting. With Zero's voice ringing in his ears, Fang Liang also withdrew his thoughts from his reverie.

"This is a moment to remember, Zero."

"I think so too, sir, but I think you seem to be forgetting something."

Fang Liang was taken aback by Zero's words.

"what?"

The screen shown by Zero appeared on the mask, it was industrial robots and maintenance robots floating in space, large and small, crowded with each other, some were docked on the surface of the Citadel, and some were looking for an angle Relying on each other in twos and threes, they cast their sights on the battleship.

Different emotions seemed to be beating on the mechanical faces made of cold components. Fang Liang could see curiosity and longing in their eyes, and he didn't know if it was his subconscious.

"You're right, I almost forgot about these cute guys. Without them, this battleship would not have been born."

Fang Liang smiled and said as if sighing.

Then, through the entire origin network, Fang Liang sent a strange data to each robot with the highest authority.

This piece of data blows through the core of each robot like the wind, and they seem to feel a heartfelt caring emotion, which comes from the existence they always follow. In the settings of each robot, Fang Liang is everything about them.

Above the surface, the ordnance robot that was slowly advancing on the ridge suddenly stopped, looking at the slightly cloudy sky with deep pupils, and countless industrial robots carrying ore materials also stopped and looked at Sky.

At this moment, there is a sentence echoing in the depths of their consciousness:

We will always pursue the universe, and the stars and the sea are the destination of everything.
