Him and their stars
Chapter 1016 The first vibration of light wings
Mr. Bernard Wood actually didn't lie. The first star district administrator of New China who had just taken office, Mr. Qi Bingwen, who had always been known as a great writer in the universe, was indeed inspecting the security situation of the mountain and sea routes.
As we all know, New China is actually a very vast star field, but today, more than two hundred years after it was discovered, there is still only one channel that can connect to the far shore star area next door.
Starting from Bai Yujing, the capital of New China, at the average speed of ordinary passenger and cargo merchant ships, it will take at least one and a half months to reach New Shengjing, the capital of the Far Coast Sector, and another month and a half from New Shengjing to Gibraltar. moon. And if you want to stop and go all the way to the earth, I am afraid that less than half a year will pass.
Such traffic conditions can indeed be described as blocked.
In addition, the colonial conditions of the star sector itself are not considered superior. It is currently unknown that there are still more than 200 young and middle-aged star systems that can maintain stable waterways and build semi-permanent space facilities. However, there is only one naturally habitable planet suitable for carbon-based mammals, Bai Yujing.
Of course, there are some Earth-like planets that can be colonized after modification, but most of them are types with extreme climates and dangerous environments, and the cost of colonization is extremely high. For example, the "Shirakawa Star" is undergoing extensive construction work. The average temperature on the surface is below zero even at noon. With the current technological conditions, although people will not freeze to death, the living conditions are certainly far from ideal. cozy. If you want ordinary people to have a relatively stable living environment and even meet the most basic food needs, of course, a certain degree of environmental transformation is required.
However, we also know that the early pioneers of New China, in order to ensure the "purity" of this place, have always had a considerable degree of rejection of foreign capital. The development work of the entire star region cannot be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, it can only be said to be slow and steady.
For a long time, this long and narrow channel was the only lifeline for the entire star region. Therefore, the ancestor of the Bai family named it "Mountain and Sea Channel", which was quite elegant.
Because there is only one waterway, New China develops slowly while being self-contained. Also because there is only one waterway, there will always be pirates here.
It stands to reason that the New China Star Area actually belongs to the defense area of the far-shore defense fleet. However, although this fleet is considered to be strong, its main defense focus is on Earl I Star Gap and the Lucknar Corridor. It has to deal with the Catai Cats and Bakvi Birdmen behind the Star Gap, as well as the Empire behind them. . Under such circumstances, allocating a small fast fleet every six months to conduct patrols along the mountain and sea channels would be considered worthy of the Chairman.
Of course, such a military presence is not enough, so the New China Guard Fleet was established under this situation.
Of course, according to the community system, each major star region actually has its own security force. In addition to the land warfare department, it can also have a local fleet used to suppress bandits. The New China Sector Fleet has two light carriers, six light cruisers and twenty destroyers, as well as more than fifty assault ships of various sizes and armed merchant ships that can fill the battlefield.
Although the fleet is a little older, it is well maintained. Whether it is scale, combat readiness or combat experience, it can be regarded as the T0 level among the local fleets in the sector.
Mr. Qi felt that these battleships were enough. In fact, it is already very stretched to support these fleets with so little manpower and material resources in New China. If it weren't for the fact that Lao Bai's family has always been full of military virtue and always thought about bringing troops to support if the defense on the far shore was lost, he would have even thought about cutting off some of the troops to save some maintenance costs and fully develop the place.
However, the young "partner" told the old gentleman that development must be based on safety.
Mr. Qi was noncommittal about this, but he was still very interested in the new weapon Yu Lian mentioned. If the so-called "light-wing ship" was really as powerful as Yu Lian said, he would not object to equipping the New China fleet with some, so he also approved the request for the light-wing ship to be sent to New China for warship testing.
Then, when he heard that the light-wing ship that was going to be tested was passing through the mountain-sea channel, he excitedly ran to the entrance of the star area, where the star system named "Shanhaiguan" was waiting.
After all, men are teenagers until their death, and only teenagers, who is not a potential military fan? To put it bluntly, which man hasn’t rushed towards the black ribbon?
Which man doesn't wait with blood for another 20 with longer legs, a bigger European style and a better ability to hide and seek?
At that time, it can be taken for granted that the black ribbon is the Cow Lady.
"Tell Bernard that if Huitong Group is willing to cooperate within the framework we have set, the new maintenance platform built here in Shanhaiguan can indeed be handed over to them. Then, we can also reveal to them that Mingxia Island in Baiyujing Nanhai Sea, We can grant it to them at a low price." Mr. Qi said to his deputy secretary-general, Mr. Bai Yanxing, who is mainly responsible for the defense and security of the sector.
Bai Yanxing nodded and recorded it, then reminded him: "The land is indeed beautiful and suitable for commercial development, but it is not high enough for Huitong Brothers Group to make concessions."
Mr. Qi Bingwen nodded and said proudly: "So, I published a prose poem last month, which describes the three days and two nights of vacation and insights on Mingxia Island."
Bai Yanxing was stunned.
Learson, the deputy secretary-general in charge of financial management, quickly added: "This week, the Government Affairs Department has received several inquiries from Mingxia Island. The highest one is the Duchess of Aiyaka from the empire, who went directly to 4.5 billion gold dragons, the price offered is higher than that of the Canaan Merchant Group.”
Secretary Bai continued to be stunned.
"Old Bai, what do you mean by a cosmic literary giant!" Mr. Qi became even more proud, raising his head and then making a tactical tilt.
Bai Yanxing said that he is different from his old cousin who is a social nerd. He has always been a calm, down-to-earth and unsmiling person. But at this time, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his district commander.
Mr. Qi said: "The new test ship should arrive today, right?"
Secretary Bai nodded: "If nothing else happens, we should arrive at Shanhaiguan before 15:00."
"Why don't that kid Zi Ya come over and take a look? I heard that although the light wing structure was designed by that fat guy Aisen, the control system that achieves balance with the ship was made by him." Mr. Qi added: "The investigation of the Tianshu Galaxy is indeed very important, but there is no need to rush it."
"The Nine Chapters reported that some new data were found in the stars in Tianshu. Professor Zinov and everyone are still making calculations, and we really can't leave for a while."
"That's a pity." Mr. Qi thought for a while and then said: "Speaking of which, the situation on Tianshu Star is quite close to an extreme battlefield environment. The light-wing ship is also undergoing testing. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to go there?"
Secretary Bai nodded quickly: "I am indeed prepared to raise this opinion. It depends on whether Red Star Institute and RN Shipyard are willing."
Finally, when the experimental light-wing ship called New Shenzhou 2 arrived at Shanhaiguan, it was almost 18:00 in the evening.
It's not surprising to be three hours late. After all, anything can happen in space navigation.
Also arriving with the light-wing ship was a professional maintenance ship hired by RN Shipyard and Red Star. This was actually not surprising. This configuration is the standard mode for long-distance jump navigation of new types of ships.
However, it was a bit unexpected that a patrol fleet belonging to the far shore defense fleet arrived along with the light-wing ship.
"The far-coast fleet conducts a warning cruise on the mountain and sea routes only once every six months. The next time should be next year, right?"
This fleet consists of a heavy cruiser as the flagship, three light cruisers, five destroyers and ten assault ships. The heavy cruiser among them is a new ship that just came off the slipway this year, and it has not even been tested.
Although Mr. Qi is a military fan, he knows nothing about military affairs, but Secretary Bai knows that the heavy cruiser is a new type of "Xiaguang class". To put it bluntly, it is the Imperial Clear Sky class that "accidentally" fell into the hands of the community. The cruiser was restored to its original condition.
Of course, because of the craftsmanship, equipment and quality control management, it would be great if these copycat Clear Sky classes can return to 80% of the combat power of the original ones. Even so, this is still the most powerful heavy cruiser ever built by the people on earth.
Secretary Bai understood that there were twenty "Xiaguang-class" cruisers under construction that he had heard about, but all the major fleets had already taken their share. I originally wanted to persuade Mr. Qi to get one or two ships for the sector guard fleet, but looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the order will have to be queued until the next year.
However, this Xiaguang cruiser had a few minor and moderate scratches on its body. This was not something that would be encountered during a sailing test. It looked like battle damage.
Fortunately, Shanhaiguan also has a military supply platform that is directly managed by the Far Coast Military Region, and there are also maintenance facilities. This damage will not cause any problems.
Therefore, after the fleet entered the port, a commodore from the far shore fleet led the team reported to Mr. Qi that these injuries were all encountered when they were chasing a group of pirates.
"pirate?"
"Yes, it is the Green Horn Pirates who came from the Nebula on the far coast. They are active in the Lucknar Corridor all year round and are quite famous."
Then, without knowing why, this group of pirates took the risk to infiltrate from the direction of the Far Shore Nebula and entered the Lumina Galaxy.
In the past years, there were often desperate and poor pirates who fled from the Far Shore Nebula to the Lumina Galaxy to catch the autumn wind. New Seville, which is in the same galaxy, is okay. After all, the militia of the maritime city-state are still very tough, but the Lumina people on the other planet are in misery, and settlements are often robbed or even massacred.
However, since the revival of Red Maple Factory, Lumina Star has been completely different. With the continuous expansion of Hongfeng Factory, Hongfeng City has become a city with a permanent population of more than five million. As for the rest of the Rumina settlements, they are also undergoing urbanization and municipalization, and of course public security has been standardized.
Even in the relatively remote Lumina village, after Hongfeng Factory rebuilt the arsenal, the young and middle-aged men in the village also have specially-made firearms.
...and the AK, a single-soldier portable ion cannon.
...and the 107 of the Turkish rail gun.
In short, the Green Flag Pirates, who were also on the first page of the bounty list, were beaten up by Rumina's vigilantes and factory guards, and left behind two pirate ships and more than 300 pirate heads before being left in ruins. and run away
However, during the battle, the Red Maple Factory reported to the Far Coast Fleet Command that the existence of psykers was discovered among the pirate groups.
If it were just an ordinary pirate group that had been beaten and crippled, the far shore might just give a symbolic pursuit, but if this pirate group had psykers, it would be another matter. What's more, according to the intelligence sent to the military regions by the Earth's rulers, this pirate group is a member of the Snake Organization.
...Well, this information was actually provided by Tianyu. Anyway, the current demand of the Galactic Empire, which has been completely angered, is to mobilize all allies and quasi-allies, even superficial "friends" who stab each other in secret, to kill Snake and all its peripheral organizations.
If the alliance still held back because of some unclear py relationship with Snake, the people on earth would not have any pressure. As a result, the far-shore defense fleet mobilized the Xiaguang-class cruisers that were still being tested and some cutting-edge high-speed battleships to form a squadron and prepare to pursue it to the end.
It must be admitted that these pirate ships are indeed considered ruthless bandits. They do not surrender when encountering a regular fleet, and they even fight back while running away. Moreover, perhaps because there were psykers among the pirates, several counterattacks of artillery fire caused considerable damage to the Community fleet. The most dangerous one even caused a light cruiser to lose power. , seriously injuring the captain.
This group of pirates even wanted to launch a counterattack against the cruiser that lost power. Fortunately, the first mate, Captain Deng Zhengqing, who took over the command, was not afraid of the danger and commanded decisively, repelling the enemy's attack and holding on to the friendly ship. Come to help.
However, after such an episode, the Community fleet did not dare to be too reckless when pursuing, and always maintained a relatively safe distance.
The two sides chased and fought all the way until they reached the mountain and sea waterway.
Then, the warring parties encountered the light-wing ship New Shenzhou 2 and her followers who were sailing normally. The pirates probably wanted to kidnap the two unlucky "civilian ships" passing by as hostages, so they rushed over aggressively. However, they never expected that the small "cruise ship" not only did not escape, but actually rushed towards them. .
In full view of both parties, the "cruise ship" suddenly unfolded its wings of light like a war angel, accelerated violently and rushed towards the pirate ship. Before the opponent could react, she threw four proton torpedoes, then suddenly accelerated out of range.
Two pirate ships were torn to pieces by proton torpedoes on the spot, and the other two were seriously injured and lost power on the spot.
When the fleet from the far shore arrives, it will only have the function of cleaning the battlefield. They later found the body of the psyker among the corpses floating in the universe - the Lumina militia had photographed this guy during the battle.
The unlucky Vaing psyker was thrown from the breach in the pirate ship, which had been severely damaged by a torpedo. Even psychics couldn't bear the pain of sudden loss of pressure and sudden hypothermia, and their lives were taken away on the spot. Before dying, three of the Waying's four eyes burst out of their sockets, and the remaining one bulged out more than half. His frozen vision was filled with explicit shock and pain.
This is equivalent to a felon who escaped. When he was chased and was desperate, he was about to take a hostage, but the hostage suddenly took out a shotgun and hit his face. It is of course understandable that there would be such a shock.
Xiao Miao has had a fever for four or five days, and the medicine doesn't seem to be very effective. The doctor said to try changing the dressing, but if the fever still doesn't go away, I have to go for infusion, but now the infusion can't be done in the outpatient department and I need to be hospitalized. When I was in the hospital, only one escort could come in, so I was probably the one to go.
That's really very specific. We can only look at the situation tonight. If I really go to stay with Xiaomei in the hospital, I will have to be unstable for a few more days.
