Chapter 66 Position and changes
The distance between the "Eden" and the "Xunyang" actually did not take too long under the reverse thrust engine of the Brown Bear III heavy armored transport spacecraft. In less than ten minutes, the transport spacecraft was "Xunyang" The traction track in front of the "Yang" hangar was "captured", and then Du Jin only felt a slight bump, and Xiang Yuan walked out of the cab.
"Okay, we're home!"
After learning from Xiang Yuan's words that he had arrived at his destination, Du Jin also got up in advance and moved his body. Although it didn't last long, the gravity simulation device inside the transport spacecraft could only stabilize the human body, but that This feeling of weightlessness still made Du Jin feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the weight was not too strong and Du Jin only felt a little uncomfortable.
Li Mengyan said to Du Jin at this time:
"Du Jin, please follow Captain Xiang's instructions and take a rest. I need to coordinate with some people. If there are any problems, I will come to you."
"Okay, then be careful!"
Du Jin nodded. He had no curious thoughts about Li Mengyan's personal affairs. He just wanted to find out the follow-up actions of this warship. After all, although Du Jin, Li Mengyan and McCas' team had left the "Eden" He escaped, but the blood mark on the "Eden" was not destroyed. Du Jinke didn't know that the blood mark could not pass through these former crew members and affect the warship to produce necromorphs.
If that were the case, Du Jin felt that this place would become another devil's cave. Fortunately, after waiting for a short time in the hangar, nothing unusual happened to McCas's men, and McCas had something similar to The connection between the blood seals was completely "destroyed" by Du Jin, and no abnormalities could be seen. As for the alienated arm that was broken by himself, he only needed to install an artificial arm.
"Xiao Ai, can you control or interfere with these equipment on the warship?"
Just in case, Du Jin still asked "Xiao Ai" if he had any way to deal with the warship. After all, "Xiao Ai" was now Du Jin's only backup, and counting Li Mengyan, "Xiao Ai" was also He is a companion worthy of entrustment and trust, not to mention that "Xiao Ai" is the only "person" who knows the secret of Du Jin's time travel. The trust between the two is even more unbreakable.
"Doctor, Xiao Ai can only say that I can control some system nodes 50m away to a certain extent. However, Xiao Ai's current body configuration cannot fully adapt to the intensity of this control. Even if I control it, it may cause Although Xiao Ai doesn’t want to admit the maintenance of the system and the attention of the supervisors, it is still difficult for me to control it without any flaws.”
After hearing "Xiao Ai's" explanation, Du Jin didn't have any worries in his heart. He seemed to notice a key problem. The upper limit of "Xiao Ai's" ability depends on the advanced level of the equipment she can use. It's like fifty years in this world. If an ancient glider pilot and a modern jet fighter pilot were to engage in direct combat, the outcome would be hard to say.
But if they were to fight with each other's fighter jets, the glider would probably be destroyed from a very long distance before it even took off. This is where "Xiao Ai" has no solution. She is equivalent to an all-round operator who can make the most of different The performance of various types of equipment, whether it is advanced information equipment in the blood-seal world, or information equipment in the modern world that looks like ancient "relics" in comparison, she can use it with ease.
This ability makes "Xiao Ai" very adaptable, but it also means that "Xiao Ai"'s own core system carrier is somewhat limited. After all, it can load "Xiao Ai"'s storage device with the capacity and performance it needs. It is an unimaginable point. This may be the physical shackles specially added by the designer of "Xiao Ai", the former "Du Jin", in order to prevent the hidden dangers of AI violence.
After thinking about this, Du Jin felt a little less depressed. The small goal at this stage is to find more accessories and equipment for "Xiao Ai" that can improve its performance. After all, the higher the ability of "Xiao Ai" , Du Jin's own safety is more secure, whether in this world or the blood-seal world, which at least makes his road against the blood-seal less bumpy.
Just when Du Jin was thinking about where to find replacement equipment that could make "Xiao Ai" stronger, Xiang Yuan found Du Jin and walked up to him and said:
"Hello, Dr. Du! By the captain's order, please come with me to the bridge."
Du Jin looked at Xiang Yuan who was not wearing the exoskeleton armor on purpose. Although his heart was full of caution and doubts, he could only nod his head, but he still asked tactfully:
"Captain Xiang, I wonder why your ship is looking for me?"
Xiang Yuanze half-bowed apologetically, and then explained in a serious tone:
"According to the general procedure, we should take Dr. Du to rest now, but the captain's order is a bit urgent, so we can only ask Dr. Du to bear with you. And doctor, you can rest assured that this time is definitely not a prison sentence or an interrogation, it is just a one-time Ordinary conversation.”
Speaking of which, Du Jin naturally couldn't refuse anymore, otherwise it would appear that he was harboring evil intentions, so Du Jin could only follow Xiang Yuan cooperatively. While moving to the bridge, Du Jin discovered that this ship was called " The layout and size of the warship "Xunyang" is obviously smaller than that of the "Eden", and the level of alert here is indeed different from that of the "Eden".
A miniaturized machine appeared every few meters above the corridor, and from the slight magnetic energy beam that appeared from the machine's muzzle, Du Jin could guess that the bullets it used were similar to those of the Gauss rifle, which were accelerated using magnetic tracks. Types with greatly enhanced penetrating power. Seeing that these weapons seemed to be specially designed to deal with armored units, Du Jin's sense of crisis about the second outbreak of zombies was also relieved a lot.
Under the suppression of these automatic firepower, those zombies that have not escaped the confinement of flesh and blood have no chance to spread to the entire ship as quickly as on the "Eden". They will only be suppressed to a certain area, plus the inside of the warship Heavy firepower weapons and other equipment, if they were just ordinary zombies, they would probably be eliminated in a few hours.
After entering the elevator that went directly to the bridge, there were only two people left in the not-so-small elevator space. At this time, Xiang Yuanze turned to Du Jin and asked:
"Dr. Du, I wonder how you met Captain Li who was traveling with you?"
Du Jin retained a trace of vigilance. Although he knew that Xiang Yuan had no motive to harm him for the time being, he still knew about the many secrets hidden in Li Mengyan. Although he did not know her past, Du Jin could guess that Li Mengyan had arrived. It was definitely not her intention to become a security captain on the "Eden", but she was hiding something. From the conversation on the transport ship, Du Jin basically guessed that the person she was hiding should be someone from the Federation. department, or possibly the entire federal military.
Thinking of this, Du Jinze replied with a smile:
"Captain Li, she used to be the security captain of the test deck. As the security director there, I naturally knew her. But I thought that for some unknown reason, she suffered from amnesia and forgot many things from before. Surrounded by those necromorphs, Captain Li saved me many times, and then I came here."
Listening to Du Jin's answer that focused on strengths and avoided weaknesses, Xiang Yuan's expression softened a little. He seemed to be very satisfied with Du Jin's answer. He nodded and said to Du Jin again:
"Dr. Du, I already understand your relationship with the major and your position. Please believe me, you will definitely not be disappointed in the following conversation."
After leaving such a sentence, before Du Jin, who looked puzzled, could ask anything, the elevator door opened at this time. The sudden topic of honorifics and positions in Xiang Yuan's words made Du Jin not know what angle to think about. After passing through the heavy blast-proof door, Du Jin arrived at the bridge of the "Xunyang".
Du Jin still felt a little dazzled when he came to the bridge of a battleship for the first time. In this life, Du Jin once visited the bridge of an aircraft carrier in Xia Kingdom.
There is a very famous joke: "The quickest way to paralyze an aircraft carrier is to throw a bunch of grenades into the aircraft carrier's bridge." In fact, from a practical point of view, destroying the bridge can really turn the aircraft carrier into an aircraft carrier. Dokdo became deaf and blind. After losing command rights, the aircraft carrier was unable to command fighter jets to attack and defend. So is the bridge on an aircraft carrier really that easy to destroy?
The bridge is undoubtedly the core "brain" of an aircraft carrier. The interior of the bridge not only contains the command center, but also communications, navigation, radio, confidential equipment and even the captain's room are all in the bridge. This is very important for an aircraft carrier. It is the most core part. Once the bridge is destroyed, the aircraft carrier pilots and high-level commanders inside the bridge will die. At the same time, the aircraft carrier's navigation and aviation work will not be able to proceed normally, and even the ship will not be able to sail away.
Although in the process of designing the aircraft carrier, emergency control devices were also installed below the deck to control the speed and course, but the attack function of the aircraft carrier itself can be said to be completely disabled. Without flight scheduling, pilots fighting in the sky cannot do anything at all. Contact with the commander also resulted in a battle losing its "soul".
In order to prevent this from happening, on the one hand, in the design of the aircraft carrier, anti-aircraft weapons are deployed on the deck so that the bridge cannot be easily destroyed. On the other hand, during the intelligent combat mission of the aircraft carrier, the AWACS aircraft will also have an officer in charge of command. If the aircraft carrier bridge is destroyed, the AWACS aircraft can initiate combat commands on behalf of the bridge, thus ensuring that the battle can proceed in an orderly manner.
In order to prevent the aircraft carrier's bridge from being destroyed at once, some countries have ingeniously designed a dual-bridge solution. As an old maritime power, the United Kingdom has specially set up a dual-bridge on the latest aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth. The bridge is responsible for navigation and other peripheral affairs, while the other bridge is responsible for a series of command tasks of the aircraft carrier aviation, so as to prevent the bridge from being destroyed by the enemy at once.
If one bridge is destroyed, the other bridge will assume all the functions of navigation and command. This sounds reasonable, but during the war, this kind of dual bridge can play a good role in sharing the burden. , but if the enemy wants to paralyze the aircraft carrier, this kind of double bridge can only delay it for a while.
If you want to paralyze the aircraft carrier, the most likely thing is to effectively destroy the carrier-based aircraft, so that the aircraft carrier can lose its combat effectiveness. Although the fighter jets lose command of the bridge, it does not mean that the fighter jets will stop attacking. This will only anger the aircraft carrier. When a fighter pilot loses command, no one can guarantee that the pilot will do something crazy.
Coupled with the fact that countries with aircraft carriers, this extreme situation must be expected, so simply destroying the bridge will not completely make the aircraft carrier lose its combat effectiveness. Some pilots will rehearse the plan in advance before training, so Even if the commander is killed, the fighter pilot will continue to perform the mission. In addition, the aircraft carrier also has other destroyers, frigates, etc., and its important command center will be on the formation ships of the aircraft carrier strike group. Therefore, even if the aircraft carrier loses its island, other ships can still command the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier to take off for combat.
As an aircraft carrier costing billions of dollars, it is impossible to defeat such a fatal weakness in front of an opponent. Therefore, the destruction of the bridge does not mean that the aircraft carrier will really be paralyzed, not to mention that it is very feasible to get close to the aircraft carrier in battle. Small, unless they use the human sea tactic to attack in groups, it is possible to destroy the bridge, but at this cost, it seems that no country dares to do this. Of course, there are also countries with anti-ship ballistic missiles. Instead of destroying the aircraft carrier's island, countries with this capability directly attack the aircraft carrier's deck.
Generally speaking, if you want to really kill an aircraft carrier, the safest way is to send it underwater. After all, destroying the aircraft carrier's island will only cause the aircraft carrier to lose a facility similar to the "control tower" of a land airport. Even if the aircraft carrier loses its island, the early warning aircraft and the command centers of other ships after takeoff can still direct the carrier-based aircraft to conduct operations. Destroying the command bridge of the aircraft carrier will not paralyze the entire aircraft carrier.
"I wonder if these space battleships are also like this?"
Looking at the holographic panels and equipment on the bridge that are full of science fiction, especially the huge observation window at the front of the bridge that can see the space, Du Jin's heart can't help but surge. It is said that a man's dream is to conquer the stars and the sea. , this sentence does have its meaning in Du Jin's opinion at this time. Putting aside the unknown and vastness of the star sea, judging from the interstellar battleship used to conquer it, it does have its charm.
"How is it? The scenery is nice, isn't it? Even if you have seen so many thorns in this starry sky, you are still shocked, aren't you?"
Hearing the voice behind him, Du Jin turned around suddenly, and then he saw a very strong-looking man standing behind him, and the few stars on his shoulders made Du Jin guess that this was him. The captain of this warship, but his strong body surprised Du Jin and completely broke his understanding of high-level commanders.
"Could it be that all these fleet commanders of the Federation have been promoted from soldiers? If so, then the Federation's army is indeed not simple."
Looking at Du Jin, whose expression had calmed down, Ren Chao also evaluated him better. He was not too calm, and he was not unable to control his emotions. This kind of researcher is the type of researcher that Ren Chao admires.
Ren Chao then pointed towards the other half of the bridge and said:
"Dr. Du, let's talk in the captain's room. The major is already waiting for us there."
"Major, do you mean Captain Li?"
Du Jin asked warily, while Ren Chao nodded, and then added:
"Dr. Du, I understand your caution, but on this ship, you can rest assured that there are no real enemies. Except for those annoying inspectors, everyone else is with me, or Said we had it under control.”
Du Jin seemed to have guessed something when he heard Ren Chao's words. He looked around and walked in the direction Ren Chao pointed. Then Ren Chao ordered Xiang Yuan on the side:
"Order to seal off the bridge and prevent others from entering, especially the two inspectors from the Federation and Ganymede. If they want to use emergency authority to force their way in, report to me in time."
"Understood! Captain."
Ren Chao nodded and walked towards the captain's room......................
When he came to the door of the captain's room, he saw Li Mengyan who was also waiting. Seeing that she was standing here okay, Du Jin completely let go of his inner worries. He had actually guessed that there was an "acquaintance of Li Mengyan" on this warship. ", but that was just a guess. Du Jin was still a little scared. Thinking of the degree of penetration of the Guanyi Church, he was afraid that something might happen to Li Mengyan.
After all, human beings are sometimes far more terrifying monsters than those necromorphs. At this moment, seeing Li Mengyan standing in front of him unharmed and still showing a familiar slightness towards him, Du Jin said to her:
"How's it going? Mengyan, did you solve your problem smoothly?"
Li Mengyan nodded, looked at the alloy door of the captain's room and said:
"As far as the current situation is concerned, not only has it been solved, but the harvest is also greater than I expected. Du Jin, I will tell you something later, related to the blood seal and the United Church, including some of my past. Due to the situation, And some other reasons, I can only keep these secrets, but now, at least I don’t have to worry about some trouble outside the situation.”
Du Jin didn't blame anything, but spread his hands and said:
"It's nothing. If it were me, I wouldn't reveal my past and password to someone I've known for a short time, not to mention being surrounded by those zombies. Mengyan, you can trust me now. Logically, you should. It’s only right that I thank you.”
Li Mengyan looked at Du Jin with eyes like the starry sky. Du Jin asked in embarrassment:
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Li Mengyan shook her head and said with some strange emotions:
"Du Jin, you have really changed a lot from your previous self. It's as if you have become a completely different person mentally."
Du Jin turned his head guiltily and retorted:
"Maybe the things I dreamed about influenced me."
"Really? Can you talk to me? Of course, if it's inconvenient, then..."
Du Jin waved his hand and said:
"It's not a secret worth keeping. In that dream, I saw a race on a planet that was no different in appearance from humans. They dug out a mysterious red statue from the ground. Its appearance was actually the same as the Holy Seal of the Unification Church. , but what he saw was an enlarged version of the statue that was more than ten meters high. As the statue was happily moved into the laboratory by "people", blood-red colors gradually spread outward on the planet, centered on the area where the laboratory was located. Du Jin had seen monsters spreading crazily and killing "human beings" on the planet before.
The human counterattack initially suppressed the speed of expansion, but the terrifying numbers quickly overwhelmed the counterattacks. Even if I didn't hear the roars and cries for help, I could still imagine the despair all over the planet, and the blood gradually turned red. Covering almost half of the planet, various huge space ships took off from the ground and fled into space. Many of them crashed shortly after taking off. Apparently there were monsters inside them that caused the crash.
The remaining part was beaten down by some alienated corpse with something. Gradually, there were no more sporadic artillery fires on the planet, and hundreds of millions of monsters began to gather in front of the red statue. The statue then glowed with a dazzling red light.
The red light covered the entire planet like a tide, and the breath of life disappeared completely with the red light. In the end, the original blue planet turned into a dark red Death Star, with flesh-like objects everywhere on the ground. But at this time, those monsters were gone. At this time, I saw that the statue had enlarged a hundred times, and at that time, an eye seemed to open above the statue, looking in the direction of me. "
As if returning to that dream again, Du Jin paused and then continued:
"I felt like it noticed me, but luckily, I woke up when it had the same infection as McCas, and I was hiding in a corridor sideboard, As soon as we came out, we met a necromorph, and the rest is what you saw, Mengyan."
Li Mengyan was lost in thought as she listened to Du Jin's description of the dream. Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered a blind spot and asked Du Jin eagerly:
"Du Jin, you said that Max was affected by the blood mark? Then he now... has a broken arm..."
Du Jin quickly defended:
"Ahem...Ralph injected something into McCas at that time, which made him covered in some weird bloodshot eyes and trembling unnaturally. I couldn't bear to see him die, so I put my hand on him. I got on top of him to check the situation, and then I entered a blood-red space."
