The aesthetics of violence, in Xiao Kaitian's eyes, is explained in this way. Violence plus science brings beauty.
So when the new Squirrel and Cannon version of the battleship was released, Xiao Kaitian cheered, while Li Ruobai firmly opposed it. Li Ruobai's reasons for objection are very good.
The new version of the starship still uses the destroyer's main gun system as the platform, which is what Li Ruobai objects to. Because all the equipment is built around the main gun removed from the destroyer. This made it difficult for Li Ruobai, who had undergone strict training in starship design, to accept that the main gun was placed on the platform, which was the basis of all designs, instead of wrapping the platform on the main gun.
Another problem is that this so-called starship only has firepower and maneuverability, but no protective capabilities. Even if Chu Jungui reserved positions for shields on both sides, the shields were pitifully weak and could at most withstand one blast from the frigate's main gun. If the opponent is a destroyer, it will not be able to withstand even one shot.
There is no mastermind in the starship. Under normal circumstances, Kaitian serves as the mastermind. The Kaitian is much more powerful than the heavy Cambrian, and weighs almost nothing, which can slightly improve the starship's maneuverability. When Kaitian is away, a miniature mastermind composed of several silk amber chips is responsible for controlling it.
After the basic design was completed, Chu Jungui carried out another weight reduction that can be said to have no bottom line, and brought the anti-human design to its fullest.
"Are you just going to let me sit in the chair for a month?" Li Ruobai asked, pointing to the cockpit.
"It won't be a month. Our current fuel can only last for 24 days." Chu Jungui answered seriously.
"24 hours is too long! There has to be a bed, right? There has to be entertainment, right?" Li Ruobai was already starting to roar.
"There is no gravity, so there is no need for a bed. As for entertainment, well, let Kaitian make a game for you to play and train your shooting."
Li Ruobai completely lost his temper and shook his head repeatedly, "If you meet someone who is not kind to you, you will not be kind to others!"
In any case, under this idea, the construction speed of the new starship far exceeded the limit, and it was completed in just one week. Because the new starship uses a standard destroyer main gun, its length exceeds 50 meters. It finally managed to escape the ranks of the fighters, but it was still a little far away from the gunboat.
The starship is equipped with 8 grain power furnaces as the main power, and the large and small engines are all removed from the destroyer. In this way, under strong power, the starship's flexibility is no less than that of a first-class fighter.
Although the Tianyu Fleet has withdrawn, there is still the Ninth Fleet responsible for containment in the theater, including two mobile bases and an asteroid base. Therefore, Li Ruobai believes that trade is not only important, but also imperative. Now both bases are making every effort to increase the production capacity of metallic hydrogen. Crystalline metallic hydrogen not only has good physical characteristics, but also contains ultra-high energy. The explosive power per unit mass is hundreds of times that of biomass gunpowder. It is a common raw material for various starship weapons and ammunition. It is also a common fuel for space missiles and torpedoes.
For trade, Chu Jungui and Kaitian specially designed transport ships. This kind of transport ship is a flying container and does not require a driver. It can be controlled by Xiao Kaitian's clone on a daily basis. It is high-speed and flexible, and has certain independent intelligence. It will automatically follow the main ship, escape on its own when encountering danger, and then come back to rendezvous when the danger is over.
When the starships and transport ships were all built, Li Ruobai looked at the starships in front of him and said, "Some of us now have bases and even starships. Isn't it time to give ourselves a name?"
"Name?"
"Of course! Otherwise, how will you introduce yourself when you go out in the future? When you win a battle, you have to let the enemy know who lost it! If you want the enemy to be frightened, you have to have a name."
When it came to naming, the art component immediately volunteered. Chu Jungui agreed to its speech with the idea of giving it a try.
The art component immediately gave a series of names with mighty and domineering as the core: gathering stars, shining stars, destroying stars, swallowing stars, breaking stars, destroying stars, striking stars, stealing stars, exploding stars, steaming stars, boiling stars...
Chu Jungui had no expression on his face and opened the political component again. The political components include things like Wushuang, Weiyuan, Destroying Heaven, Shocking the World, Slaying Demons, Killing Gods... and so on. The latter string is said to draw on religious overtones.
Finally it’s the turn of tactical deception.
It never sticks to one pattern and fully demonstrates the unscrupulous style of achieving the goal: I am weak, I can't beat you, don't shoot, there are no shells in my cannon...
Chu Jungui finally understood that naming was a difficult problem for the three major components.
With the last hope, Chu Jungui activated metaphysics, and then he got: Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all mysteries... Before the list was finished, Chu Jungui turned off metaphysics.
Li Ruobai looked at Chu Jungui and remained silent, and asked, "What, have you thought about it? Just pick any one."
Chu Jun returned and said, "Light Years."
"Lightyear? Why is it called this?"
"If something happens to you, I will definitely come within light years." Chu Jungui said casually.
Li Ruobai let out a laugh and said, "Could it be that since I'm 1.1 light years away from you, you won't come?"
Chu Jungui laughed and said, "Just give it a name. Why didn't you say you are 0.9 light years away from me? Will I definitely come?"
Li Ruobai snorted, "If it were Sister Xi, I think you would have rushed there even though we were 3,000 light years away."
"If there is a mission, I will go." Chu Jungui said calmly.
"Do you still need to have a mission to go? Was it also a mission to kidnap someone back then?"
"Of course." Chu Jungui said truthfully.
Li Ruobai naturally didn't believe it and just thought he was being tough. He opened his personal terminal, projected the galaxy star map, and said: "Now that we have a name, we have to figure out what to do next. We now have two bases, and can freely pass through the storm clouds, and the consumption is within an acceptable range. , this destroyer still has 70% parts that have not been dismantled. According to my idea, the first goal is to establish a stable connection with the Ninth Fleet, at least to be able to sell supplies."
Chu Jungui nodded.
"If we want to open the trade channel, we have to kill the federal patrol ships near the planet. Last time I saw, most of the patrol ships were single ships, and they were only frigates. It's not that we don't have a chance. If we can sneak attack, one shot It can cause serious damage. Killing the patrol force can also prevent the Federation from resupplying or further landing on Planet 4, so it kills two birds with one stone."
"Yes, I like sneak attacks!"
In this way, the first combat meeting after the establishment of the Lightyear Legion was completed by two people floating in space.
The strategy was established. Chu Jungui and Li Ruobai did not return to the planet. They directly activated the starship and set up an ambush near the Federation's patrol route. The two didn't wait long before they saw the federal patrol starship slowly appear.
With a thought from Chu Jungui, the starship was fully powered and rushed towards the patrol boat like a cannonball!
