Chapter 61 Crossing Death
Yunyi sat at the table in the room, staring at the black box on the table, but from time to time remembered something Robert told him.
For a long time, he sighed and stopped thinking.
History is always written by others, and who can really know what happened at that time?
He found this small box in the ruins. The surface was uneven by cosmic rays. Fortunately, it was in a thick metal cabinet and was not completely corroded.
Robert told him that this is the prototype of today's light brain. Ancient people called it a laptop. Although the structure is simple, it already has a lot of light brain functions, but its ability is very weak.
Although it is no longer available, Yunyi still took it back as a souvenir of history.
After exploring this ruin, the Haibury family also found some things that belonged to the ancient people, but whether there is any value of research needs to be carefully analyzed.
After staying here for two hours, the fleet embarked on a journey again.
Three days later, the density of broken stars is getting higher and higher. The speed of shelling has increased from one shot in the first few dozen minutes to one shot in three or four minutes. However, for the time being, it is not very dangerous. Hank and others only had 20 warships, and when they came here, there was no problem. However, during dinner, Hank said with a grim look that if there is no accident, he will enter the dense belt after more than 20 hours. And that's the place that belongs to the real danger. In those years, their 20 warships kept bombarding with their main guns, assisted by mecha and fighters, and they could not remove all the broken stars on the channel.
Although he took the same route as Hank, it was obvious that the Haibury family had much better luck than that fleet. On the day after entering the broken star belt, the electronic reconnaissance ship responsible for reconnaissance and exploration found a compressed Oak rock core with low reserves in a distant broken star. After this core is refined, it can obtain a very valuable Oak fine stone, which is a necessity for manufacturing ultra-long-range signal transmitters. The purchase price announced by the Chu and Tang Empire is more than 40,000 yuan per gram. According to Hank's estimate, the compressed Oak core contained in this broken star is enough to produce millions of Oak stones.
The collection process is not complicated. First, bombard the broken stars with the main gun of the warship. After removing most of the useless rocks, the part containing minerals is directly dragged back, divided and loaded into the transport ship, and then carried out after returning*.
And just yesterday, the fleet once again discovered a valuable rare mineral.
These two revenues alone are enough to cover the energy consumption and personnel costs of this operation. The Death Star Belt is really a good place to make money. However, the danger here is a little too high.
Two days later, the broken stars floating in space have shown an extremely dense level. The main guns of the 20 large warships in the front row are fully open 23 hours a day and ready to fire at any time. Although there is one hour of maintenance time left, it has greatly exceeded the load of the main gun. Tian Ning, who was in charge of the main gun, told everyone with regret that the main guns of the 20 warships would not take long after completing this task, even if they were not scrapped.
Each of the warship's main guns is worth more than 100,000 yuan, and 20 main guns are more than 3 million, not to mention being prepared for a long time, and the energy consumption is also a large number.
This made Yunyi and others deeply shocked the financial and courage of the Haibri family.
On the seventh day of entering the broken star belt, the situation has become a little grim. Under the order and command of the flagship "Haibri Jasmine", in order to reduce the contact surface with the broken star belt, the fleet collectively pulled closer to the flagship and the whole fleet shrank. In this way, the contact surface between the front and the broken star has been reduced by one-third, allowing the 20 warships in front to shoot more effectively.
Only in this way, the distance between the spacecraft and the spacecraft becomes extremely narrow. Fortunately, the officer responsible for coordinating the spacecraft on the flagship is very capable. There is no problem with such a narrow gap, which makes Yunyi admire it.
"The mecha has begun to move." Hank had been paying attention to the situation ahead, and his words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
On the screen, countless mecha flew out of the large warship. Yunyi quickly noticed that these mechas were all flying out, not being ejected. Where the warship did not attack, there are countless broken stars. In case the ejected mecha is not adjusted in time, it is very likely to collide with the broken stars.
For safety reasons, the mecha flew out of the warship by itself. Soon, these mechas were fixed on the hull and began to install something on the hull.
"Large-caliber carrier-based sniper rifle?" Yunyi asked doubtfully. He has only seen the patterns and introductions of this weapon on the Internet, but has not really seen it. After getting the affirmation from Hilton, Yunyi's eyes immediately lit up.
This kind of sniper gun, which does not use mecha energy and directly uses warship energy, has a caliber of 100MM, far exceeding the secondary gun caliber of warships. After the powerful energy is injected into the sniper gun from the hull, under the precise control of the mecha, although it cannot be compared with the warship's main gun, its ultra-long range and good power make it the main means of long-range attack of ship-based mecha.
With the assistance of the mecha warriors, the pressure of the warship's main guns was immediately relieved. Before entering the most dense area, the flagship ordered the main guns of each warship to attack, so that some of the main guns could take time for maintenance. The Haibury family is not reluctant to give up these main guns. They are afraid that if they leave the broken star belt before completing the task, these main guns will be scrapped and unusable, which will be terrible at that time.
On the ninth day, the situation has become very gloomy.
The planetary fragments that appear on the channel not only become extremely large, but also very fast. Usually, a broken star comes, and after the main gun is bombarded, it breaks into several pieces. However, the size of these fragments can still cause damage to warships, and can only be bombarded again by mecha with carrier-based guns. Although the fighter plane was also released, it could only surround the front warship and did not dare to leave the warship too far. Their role is only to destroy some fragments that have not been knocked off by the mecha.
But even if there is a firepower network composed of main guns, sniper guns, fighters and warship secondary guns, these broken stars cannot be intercepted. Of course, the large stars that are large enough to cause a devastating blow to warships will be destroyed, and those leaking from the nets are all small rocks with a diameter of no more than half a meter.
However, in high-speed flight, this rock has also become a powerful shell. When it hits the body of the warship, it will immediately appear on the hull and cause a depression. Although it is not enough to break through the shell of the warship, if the number reaches a limit, it may also attack the weakness of the warship.
"This is it!"
When Yunyi and others watched the battle ahead and the rocks hit the warship, everyone's hearts trembled. Suddenly, Hank, who was carefully measuring the orientation in front of his bare brain, shouted.
"What?" Everyone turned around and asked doubtfully.
"According to our direction, at the current speed, about two hours ahead, we can reach the planet NW-AL0083!" Hank shouted excitedly. With that, he immediately ran to the communication system and told the flagship headquarters about this situation.
"Oh my God! What is that?"
While Hank was contacting the flagship headquarters, a crew member suddenly looked at the screen and exclaimed. According to the regulations on the warship, it is strictly forbidden to make noise in the command room, but Yunyi and others have a special status, and they are all senior warriors, so they are naturally not bound by this. But the shouting of an ordinary crew member immediately made Brown look at him unkindly.
"No matter what you find and you violate the discipline on the warship, I will punish you as you deserve." After Brown finished speaking coldly, he switched the light brain screen to the light brain of the crew member. Everything that appeared on the screen immediately made Brown take a deep breath and shouted, "What on earth are those women on the electronic reconnaissance ship doing!"
The flow of the broken star belt generally extends in one direction. But very rarely, like the running water in the river, there will be some turbulence. And now what is displayed on the screen is just above the fleet, a small turbulence of small stars is rushing towards the fleet...
PS: Warm congratulations on the successful launch of Chang'e-2~~~ I really want to go for a stroll in space
