Zhang Xiaoman's meteor-star covert action special service ship has the largest proportion of the jump engine.
The jump engine is a very large component. He learned from the structural diagram that the size of this thing occupies at least most of the space of the spacecraft. Its length alone is more than 30 meters. It is an out-and-out super engine.
The function of this thing is also easy to understand. According to the explanation of the Star Sequence Mastermind, it can fold space and open a channel for the spacecraft to jump. In this channel, the spacecraft can travel long distances at super-light speeds.
This is a bit amazing. You must know that the most difficult problem to solve in space travel is long-distance navigation.
The vastness of the universe is always beyond human imagination. When matter cannot reach the speed of light, if you want to achieve long-distance space travel, you can only find other ways.
The jump engine solves this problem very well, but if you want to use this function, you will need more conditions.
In addition to a lot of preparation time and energy consumption, the most important thing is to master the coordinates of the corresponding target point in advance. Without coordinates, the space channel cannot be accurately positioned, and the jump will be impossible.
In addition, apart from the navigation system, what Zhang Xiaoman is most concerned about is the weapon system.
It's just a pity that this covert operations special service ship is not dedicated to output. It is very good in the field of electronic warfare, but when it comes to combat, it is a bit stretched.
The entire ship is equipped with only one laser turret, one machine gun turret, and a Phalanx defense system. The number of weapon ports is even less than that of an anti-gravity vehicle.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, this spacecraft is specially used to perform electronic warfare. Fighting is not its strong point. It is not professional.
After listening to Xingxue's introduction to the basic situation, Zhang Xiaoman visited various areas of the spacecraft under the guidance of the other party.
From the combat area to the logistics area, to the living area, dormitory area, and even a cultivation area where plants can be grown, the entire spacecraft is like a small fortress.
Logically speaking, such a large frigate cannot be controlled by just one person.
If you want to control it perfectly, the crew members include captains, system administrators, operators, navigators, engineers, mechanics, medical staff, psychological interventionists, trainers, logistics personnel, security personnel, etc. The total number of various types of personnel needs to be at least 50.
However, another statement from Star Sequence is that Shuguang has a fully automatic intelligent AI system with very powerful computing power and can control the spacecraft with only one main control computer.
Of course, this kind of operation has great limitations and can only be used to perform some basic operations. If you want to go further, you still need auxiliary control from relevant personnel.
Zhang Xiaoman came to the control room of the spacecraft. There were rows of powerful-looking machines here. He couldn't understand them and didn't dare to ask.
After all, with his Class C driver's license, he probably wouldn't understand even if he asked.
Well, anyway, he doesn't care about the control of this spaceship. As long as it can be used normally, everything will be left to the intelligent system.
Zhang Xiaoman sat on a chair reserved for captains in the middle. He touched the material and looked around. Not to mention it felt pretty good.
"Star Sequence, start the spacecraft and take off."
He said to the system.
These instructions may be a bit non-standard, but he is not a professional captain, and he has not learned anything: "Spaceship Navigation", "Spaceship Control", "Frigate Support Theory", "Special Service Ship Specialization" and other professional skills, even I don't even understand the most basic instruction set.
However, as a powerful artificial intelligence, the ship system can easily recognize the meaning of his words.
Of course, he can also read the above books in the library in the frigate's living area, or read the electronic version directly from the ship's host system to the star network terminal.
"The command has been received. Commander, please confirm the target location."
The sound of the star sequence sounded, and on the stage in front of Zhang Xiaoman, a three-dimensional figure unfolded, which was the star map of the Aqua Blue Star.
He reached out and dug around on it, and found that except for the Aquamarine Star, the surrounding areas were all unknown areas that had not yet been explored.
"By the way, don't forget to turn on covert action mode."
As Zhang Xiaoman spoke, he randomly selected a position in the star map, and saw that the originally bright lights in the spacecraft gradually dimmed, and the pleasant voice of Star Sequence also sounded:
"The command has been received, the covert action mode has been activated, the inertial damper is being activated... the activation is complete, the acceleration limit is lifted, and the automatic navigation has been started..."
As Xingxue's words fell, ripples appeared on the spacecraft, and then he disappeared into the crowd of the craftsman team, and then quietly left the ground and flew towards the target location.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't feel any changes in his surroundings at this time. However, he could see through the holographic projection screen that he was moving at an alarming speed. In less than a few minutes, the new version of Dawn had already flown out. atmosphere.
Although the people in the craftsman team knew that the battleship had probably taken off by now, they still refused to leave. They all looked up at the sky with their necks raised, as if they could see through the spacecraft soaring in the universe.
"Destination reached, autopilot turned off."
As the pleasant prompt sound came, Zhang Xiaoman realized belatedly that he had arrived in space outside the Aqua Blue Star.
He remembered that he seemed to have been to a similar location before. At that time, he came in an all-round anti-gravity vehicle, but the speed at that time was not as fast as it is now.
He still vaguely remembered that the maximum speed of the anti-gravity vehicle seemed to be about 5,000 meters per second. As for why a speed of 5,000 meters per second could break away from the gravitational constraints of Aquamarine and reach space.
The reason is actually very simple, because it uses an anti-gravity engine and naturally no longer has to abide by the first cosmic speed principle defined by humans.
But now this frigate is even more exaggerated, reaching a speed of 50 kilometers per second, directly increasing the speed by 10 times, which is a bit scary.
If we set out from Aquamarine to the moon according to this efficiency, we only need
However, this is actually understandable. The speed of 50 kilometers per second is only the maximum speed, and it must be in space to reach this peak speed.
In addition, this is a special service ship specializing in speed and electronic warfare, so it is not an exaggeration to have such efficiency.
After all, with current human technology, the speed of a spacecraft in space can reach almost one-fifth of this speed.
