Armor Frenzy

After more than two hours, the Yuewan finally replenished the supplies, and the eight booster rockets were also installed one by one. Everything was ready, and it only owed Dongfeng.

The dozens of small spaceships originally surrounding the Yuewan were withdrawn one after another, and Huang Bo in the bridge of the Yuewan loudly ordered: "Start the attitude engine--"

"Attitude engine on-"

"Join the expedition formation!"

The stance engine under the battle belly spewed out a few white air currents, pushing the Yuewan to float upward, joining the expedition fleet at the end of the formation. The four battleships were lined up in a row with an interval of about 100 meters. The red light flashed slightly, which was the signal light on the surface of the battleship.

Ye Han, who had been sitting for more than two hours, immediately got excited and stared at the screen on the left side of the bridge. On the screen, you could clearly see the hull number on the side of the Shuwan.

That's right, it's the screen, not the porthole.

Class 024 does not have the conspicuous bridge of surface ships. The command cabin of the battleship is located in the lower part of the middle of the battleship. If it is replaced by a surface ship, this position is the middle of the bottom of the ship. The location of the bridge.

At first glance, such a design seems very unreasonable, but in fact this scheme is the painstaking work of the designers.

The military has never designed a space warship, and everything has to start from scratch.

However, the military has an excellent tradition in design. Back then, the design of nuclear submarines also started from scratch. The designers only had two photos of nuclear submarines that were remade from foreign newspapers, and then a nuclear submarine bought from a toy store. model, but the design team just came up with a nuclear submarine!

Inspired by the predecessors, the designers found a large number of sci-fi film and television works, took photos and archives of the warships that appeared in the film, conducted detailed research one by one, and absorbed the excellent ideas.

In this way, from 011 to 024, two types of space battleships have been created from scratch, from rough to refined, from chaos to rationality.

Comparing the design drawings, it can be found that the first draft of Class 011 has a bridge that protrudes out of the hull, which is similar to that of a surface ship. Finally disappeared.

The bridge is the command center of the warship and the brain of the warship. Once it is damaged, the consequences will be unimaginable. Is such an important position designed so conspicuously that the enemy will not find it?

A warship can't be without a bridge, but it doesn't need an exposed bridge! However, all the space battleships in science fiction films and TV works have their bridges exposed on the surface of the battleship, and only a few can be hidden inside the ship after the war.

This kind of weird design amazes all the designers, directly borrowing the design plan of the submarine, wouldn't it be over to build a hidden bridge?

So the two levels of space warships have become the current look of the bridge that cannot be found. The designers also gave this structure a name - built-in bridge!

With the built-in bridge design, images outside the ship cannot be viewed through the portholes. In fact, there is no need to use any portholes. The universe is so vast that you can't see the edge at a glance. Except for the dark sky, which is just a little starlight, the naked eye can't see anything at all.

The electronic equipment is different. The camera equipment installed outside the ship can not only transmit images from all directions up, down, left, and right back to the bridge, but also use optical equipment to enlarge the picture. More importantly, electronic devices can fill in the light for the picture and separate the objects originally hidden in the dark to avoid misjudgment caused by naked eye observation.

Without electronic equipment to fill in the light, no matter how good Ye Han's eyesight is, he would never be able to see the hull number of the Shuwan, even if the distance between the two warships was only more than 100 meters.

This is the natural physical weakness of the naked eye, a weakness that cannot be changed—optical sighting equipment is still used in naval battles. The cosmic battlefield is much larger than the sea surface. How can we observe the situation with the naked eye?

Build a conspicuous bridge and observe through portholes. What kind of window glass can resist the powerful rays in the universe and resist the enemy's firepower in battle?

Leaving such obvious flaws on the battleship, is it courting death?

Therefore, the final design plan is that there are screens everywhere in the bridge, and the situation outside the ship is displayed in 360 degrees without dead ends, just like sitting in a panoramic dome theater watching a documentary film about the universe and starry sky.

"Report, the Moon Bay is in place!" Huang Bo's energetic voice sounded in the bridge.

As soon as the voice fell, a calm voice appeared in the communicator: "Yuewan, welcome back to the team-command center, the task force is assembled, please leave the port!"

"The command center received, the task force, you can leave the port, salute-"

"Everyone's attention, I am the flagship Hongwan, follow my order, and the ships will spread out, five hundred meters away!"

The attitude engine was started again, and after the Yuewan slipped seven or eight hundred meters to the side, the position was adjusted again, and the four battleships finally lined up in a line of about five hundred meters apart.

"Command center, task force ready to depart ~www.readwn.com~ to request navigation data."

"Data has been uploaded!"

"Data received, decoded... Attention all personnel, start the main engine-"

"Start the main engine!" Huang Bo immediately repeated the order.

"Main engine on!"

The propulsion of the electromagnetic engine is expensive, and the actual propulsion is very small. Ye Han did not feel any abnormality, and he did not even find any signs of movement of the battleship.

"The ships are advancing at full speed, and the countdown to the ignition of the first set of booster rockets-"

A few seconds of countdown sounded immediately in the bridge of the Yuewan. Ye Han took a deep breath and pressed his body tightly to the chair, ready to resist the impact.

"Three, two, one, fire!" At the end of the ten-second countdown, the two booster rockets fixed outside the ship ignited together.

The thrust given to the warship by the rocket must penetrate the center of mass of the warship, otherwise the warship will yaw due to uneven force, so two booster rockets are fired each time, and two symmetrical rockets are fired at the same time.

The strong power pushed the nearly 5,000-ton battleship to accelerate slowly, and the battleship gradually moved away from its original position.

Ye Han found that the moon on the screen was obviously moving backwards, so he couldn't help feeling sad and said silently: "Xiaoting, wait for me to come back..."

The formation speed is getting faster and faster, gradually leaving the moon behind and accelerating towards the blue earth.

At this time, the moon was located between the sun and the earth, hanging high in the daytime sky. After the fleet set off, it did not go straight to Jupiter, but first flew to the right side of the earth.

According to human habits, the solar system is above the north of the earth, and all the planets revolve counterclockwise. If the forward direction of the earth is regarded as the front, the flight direction of the fleet at this time is behind the earth. After a few minutes, the booster rockets run out of fuel , After a short attitude adjustment, the four warships immediately started the second set of booster rockets after they were aligned with the intended sailing direction.
