Him and their stars

After the meeting, Yu Lian went straight to the No. 4 Dockyard of the Fortress of Gibraltar, accompanied by Rozes and Anne... and a ghostly figure behind the scenes that only he could see.

The main functions here are fleet aircraft carrier bases and maintenance platforms. As you can imagine, in addition to the huge apron, there is also a dedicated maintenance department for the maintenance of small attack units such as assault landing craft, sublight speed interceptors and orbital bombers. It even includes relevant factories that can produce various consumables, including small shields and energy weapons.

Now, the apron of the No. 4 dock is already filled with spindle-shaped small ships. Their size is about 1.5 times that of standard assault landing craft, and there are more than 200 of them.

One of the ships has the hull number NDL0001 and is painted silver-gray overall. The side with the hull number is painted with a crown and skull painting, and the other side has a galaxy-shaped vortex-shaped defeat medal. This is much rarer than Ace Pilot’s 5 and 10 stars. It means that this small boat killed a space Leviathan that would bring at least a galaxy-level "natural disaster".

Needless to say, these small boats in front of us are none other than New Shenzhou 1 and its "descendants".

The tarmac was extremely busy at this time, as if it was a huge construction site.

Engineers, mechanics, and pilots were all up and down surrounding their ships. Human-operated semi-automatic equipment, or unmanned engineering heirs, shuttled non-stop in the passage between the boats, emitting sharp beeps.

Yu Lian soon found a fat man sweating profusely in the crowd. The dust on his face was so covered that even his face could not be seen clearly, and his thick overalls were covered with stains and burn marks from electric fires. He looked as if he had just crawled out of a fire scene.

But even so, those small eyes were full of light, and the whole person exuded a lively and energetic look. It’s not Eisen French, but who could it be?

The father of Light Wings is of course no longer the transparent technology geek he was back then. He is now the top technology tycoon in the Blue Star Community. If you want to serve in the military, you can get a job as sergeant major or above in a matter of minutes.

Now, he was accompanied by several mechanics and sergeants whose average age was at least one round older than him, climbing up and down around a Tiger and Leopard.

This Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is obviously new from the factory, and it doesn't even have a hull number on it.

When Aisen crawled out from under the belly of Hubaoqi with a huge body weighing 200 pounds, he looked up and saw Yu Lian with his hands folded and looking at him.

He got up, rubbed his hands, and said carefully: "Sir? Your Excellency? Boss?"

"I've already said that next time you call the boss, I'll greet you with a big ear." Yu Liangang finished saying this angrily, and he immediately saw the fat man's narrow smile, and he immediately became happy.

"Well, a mere technical geek can actually tell jokes. Of course it's a good thing that your sense of humor has improved. If you have to improve your sense of humor next time, it's got to be your taste, right?"

It is certainly a good thing that the sense of humor has increased. This shows that French-san has gained confidence from his real achievements, and he has clearly developed some aura and other rather metaphysical things. As a result, people's mentality will become free and easy. This is of course a good thing for technical workers.

In a sense, scientists and psychics are the same. They must have absolute confidence in themselves in order to truly expand the boundaries of truth.

"Captain. Long time no see." Eisen French said.

"Looks like we're all fine."

The two laughed and hugged. Speaking of which, among Yu Lian's core friends, the first one he personally pulled aboard was this fat white tech geek who always had a bit of a filter.

"How is the situation? Are our riders fully prepared?" Yu Lianxiao asked.

The big white fat man opened his mouth, showing a row of teeth, and gave a thumbs up.

At this moment, Yu Lian looked at this fat young man, at the 25-year-old Essen French with his head held high and confident, and looking around, he saw all of him when he was 45 years old.

Of course, that was the future in another timeline, when he became the Director of Arms of the Volunteer Army and the Chief Engineer of the Liberty Princess.

"The 188 Hubao Cavalry and 45 Beiwei are fully ready for deployment. In addition, according to your request, the jump engine on the Hubao Cavalry has also been installed."

Yu Lian suddenly showed a bright smile: "Okay, what a double happiness!"

Of course, the person who answered him this time was not Franky, but a familiar but long-lost female voice.

Yu Lian followed the voice and saw a delicate and beautiful face. It was none other than Miss Ye Zhixia Ye, the current administrator of Lumina Planet and the youngest "ball leader" of the Blue Star Community.

Speaking of which, because I have an overly delicate face with oval seeds and sharp-lined phoenix eyes, I belong to the type of person who can go directly to the movie to play the role of a witch who brings disaster to the country without makeup. Even if she wears a military uniform, she still looks a bit flashy, so Only then did she lose miserably to Feifei in the school beauty selection that year.

However, in the past few years, as she has grown up, her aura has become more and more full, and she even has a little bit of dignity.

"Huh? Zhixia? You are actually here?"

The smile on Ye Zhixia's face suddenly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she said with a straight face and a business-like tone:

"Huh, Commander Yu, maybe you don't know, right? Your subordinate is also the Secretary-General of the Military Mobilization Command of the Far Coast Sector, and is mainly responsible for communicating with the theater headquarters. This batch of lightning strike ships came from the New Seville Shipyard and It was completed by the Shenzhou Shipyard and delivered by me personally. Why can’t I be here?”

"Lightning strike ship?"

"Yes. Mr. Qi's official name for this type of warship has of course not yet been approved by the National Defense Committee, but don't you think it's very appropriate?"

Of course Yu Lian did think it was quite appropriate. Although the battleships with the word "Lightning Strike" on them are short-lived, after all, this was in his first life. As for his third life... maybe he will be a short-lived species, but it depends on the progress of his friends in developing new fighter jets. Before that, let's squeeze out as much life as possible from it.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian reached out and patted the armor of the airship in front of him, and looked at Aisen, the chief technician of the Pioneer Party, with piercing eyes, making the latter shudder.

Miss Ye Zhixia muttered in a voice that almost only she could hear: "Tsk, what a heartless bitch."

"Haha~~~" Anne Romanova laughed three times in a smooth pronunciation.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhixia asked.

"I'm laughing, you actually expect this guy to have such a luxury as a conscience. Do you know that the first thing we did when we met was to let him drive a small boat to attack the enemy's fortress," said Annie.

I pretended I didn't hear it.

He clearly heard Luo Zeshi's inaudible laughter behind him, but of course he pretended that he didn't hear it.

Sure enough, the most reliable person at this time is the simple and strong Eisen French. He then reported: "The nano repair ships and supply ships you requested are also ready."

The nano repair ship was naturally introduced from the Iron Army Complex. This masterpiece of Pallarian robotics technology indeed made great contributions in last year's New World War. Adding one or two more nano-repair ships to the large fleet will not persuasively improve the combat effectiveness of the capital ships, but it will improve the survivability of small and medium-sized battleships, assault ships, assault landing craft, individual fighter jets, etc. But there is a very significant bonus.

Of course, according to a certain civilization that guides intelligent nanorobots, what kind of "nano" is a robot that can even be seen with the naked eye? It is better to say it is a "nano maintenance ship" than a "small maintenance robot mothership".

Yu Lian felt that Xiao Hui's words were a bit much. Who says fish-flavored shredded pork must contain fish?

The Palla people of the Iron Army Complex are resisting the pressure of this era and making steady progress towards real "nano machines". Don't you want people to use this concept in advance and advertise it a little bit?

Besides, since you, Xiao Hui, look down on it so much, is there any more advanced technology for reference? You are not allowed to say "prohibited matters". If you say "prohibited matters", I will treat you as a loser.

So, Miss Gray just smiled, put her finger in front of her lips, and said with a smile: "This is a regulatory matter that requires certain conditions to be unlocked. As for how to unlock it, I just won't tell you."

...In short, the nano-maintenance ship of the Iron Army Complex is indeed a high-quality product with high quality and low price. Therefore, at the beginning of this year, the Blue Star Community introduced two more ships from the Iron Army Complex, both of which were placed under the banner of the Outer Rim Fleet. They were named "Himalaya" and "Rocky" respectively.

For this battle, Admiral Bonaparte directly allocated the "Himalaya" and put it under the unified command of Yu Lian.

Speaking of which, two years ago, the first batch of two warships of the same class sold by the Iron Army Complex to the Community also participated in the expedition to the New World. One of them, the "Barisan", should have fallen into the Ring of Miracles along with the main force of the expedition fleet. Another ship, the "Tianshan", has been stationed near Eunomia. I hope it can survive safely.

However, following Akinayama Hachiman, the energetic glasses brother, the chance of survival is still very high.

On this side, Essen French continued: "I have adjusted the control standards of the Himalaya. When passing through the Santu Galaxy, at least each speedboat can ensure that more than 100 robots are on standby at any time."

In this way, the effects of bad astrological conditions on the fleet will be reduced to a minimum.

"Comrade Aisen is indeed a reliable and good comrade." Yu Lian shook French's hand vigorously and said to Ye Zhixia: "So, Miss Secretary-General. Can I board the ship for inspection?"

If there were no outsiders present, Ye Zhixia would have said something bad, but after all, she was not an unreasonable little fairy, so she just threw a sanitary eye covertly, and then quickly squeezed out an impeccable official smile. , leading the way.

They did not board the nano repair room and supply ship in the distance, but went straight to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry No. DD0001.

"This is the No. 1 Haw Par Cavalry 2 ship, with the hull number being Dawn Dragon No. 1..."

Aisen was excitedly preparing to introduce, but was interrupted by Yu Lian expressionlessly: "Change it immediately. I don't want it to sound like this. It made me tremble and have goosebumps all over my body. I got the shameful nickname of "Second Er" . It’s okay to call it Hongfeng No. 1, Laborer No. 1 or New China No. 3.”

Aisen nodded to show that he remembered.

On the other hand, Zhixia behind her suddenly turned pale and shaky, as if she had received a huge blow: "My, my body is shaking? Chicken, goosebumps..."

If Annie hadn't helped her, this girl would have collapsed on the ground and cried loudly at any time.

You came up with the name "Co-author"!

"According to your request, this type of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has removed the small rail gun and phase ion cannon, leaving only four Tulon 2 turbo laser groups." Eisen introduced.

The so-called Tulon Type 2 is a blaster cannon group that uses Tulon gears as its mechanical core. Its stability and accuracy are the best in the galaxy among similar products.

Of course, we all know that the Tulon gear is actually the design of Claire Belmont, and Yu Lian would not think that that guy would keep secrets about his "workmates" who were really working for the Tulon factory. However, until the Alliance comes up with new products, this turbine cannon set is the first in the galaxy.

"With only this type of weapon, we can save a lot of design redundancy and install a jump engine. We can even install a few more torpedoes. I even considered adding a space bubble generator." Ai Sen French laughed.

"Go for it! As long as you don't consider putting a sauna on it, everything is fine. Of course, after this battle."

French said, "I have completed the modifications for the New Shenzhou 2 and all the ships of the Cang Ai Brigade."

The so-called Cang Ai Brigade is the code name of the new formation of the 16 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry ships that returned home with the Lord God class. After all, there are now more battleships of the same type in the fleet, so it is natural to regroup.

Since it was the ship brought back by the Fuxi, it was certainly reasonable to call it Cangxi.

Yu Lian nodded, sat down directly in the driver's seat, then opened the ship's control terminal with quick movements and began to check.

His action seemed to represent a signal. The friends behind him were all human beings. They all understood something immediately, but for a moment they didn't know how to speak.

Finally, everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Zeshi. After all, this guy is Yu Lian's real lieutenant.

The latter coughed helplessly and was about to speak when Yu Lian asked first: "What is the effect of the jump test? Beiwei has proven it in actual combat, so what about the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

Currently, the light-winged lightning boats derived from New Shenzhou 1 and 2 have been divided into two models, namely the "Hubaoqi" and "Beiwei".

The total mass of the former is only about 70% of the latter, and its size is also slightly shorter.

Functionally speaking, the Hawpar Cavalry is not equipped with a jump engine and needs to follow the mothership. However, it is more maneuverable and flexible and can also perform the tasks of sublight speed interceptors and orbital bombers.

As for Beiwei, it is basically the size of a standard assault ship, so it has always been recognized as an assault ship by most countries. Because it is equipped with a new type of turbine laser unit with Tulon gear as the core bearing. They can also perform air defense, main cover, penetration and even gang-hopping tasks like standard assault ships.

For this raid, the sixteen "Tiger and Leopard Riders" as the first echelon of the attack were all equipped with small jump engines in advance, and preliminary tests were also conducted.

Look at Frankie now. Obviously, the test results should be promising.

"It has been tested. During the jump, the space bubble generator is started at the same time, and the mass fluctuation reaction will be minimized, so low that it is almost imperceptible. Coupled with the 'New Yumen No. 16 Special Paint', the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will proceed again When sailing silently, it is difficult for the enemy fleet to detect it."
