20. Jedi Knight
"So if you can put aside your personal prejudices, you will find that this is not the way the Trade Federation operates. If they really want to mine here, that is definitely not the case." Qui-Gon Jinn said, "Let's fly over. Go and see who’s on top of the mining station.”
"Wait a minute... there's another huge signal!" the co-pilot suddenly said, "in geostationary orbit of the planet Endor, now it has moved to the other side of the planet. This is a... Oh my God, the radar shows this thing It’s more than 40,000 meters high!”
"A giant space station?" Qui-Gon Jinn was stunned when he heard the size, and then became serious, "Is there such a huge space station outside the core circle of the Milky Way? If this is the case, then what is the conspiracy of the owner of this space station? It's certainly not small! Let's fly towards the space station, Obi-Wan, and try to contact them."
"Okay." Obi-Wan Kenobi picked up the communicator, opened the public channel, and called: "Hello, we are...well, we are travelers passing by. We encountered gravitational chaos while passing through the Model Channel. The spacecraft was damaged by the current attack. I hope you can come over and resupply. Please reply."
A moment later, a woman's voice came from the communication: "Hello travelers, we are the pioneering colonial group of the fourth group. I hope you come with good intentions."
"The Fourth Group?" Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi looked at each other, and they both saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.
…
The outer ring of the Milky Way, the Albarrio Sector, and the Mequito Galaxy.
The Lancer left hyperspace and instantly appeared in the dark universe. Almost at the same time, Tang Xiao received the hyperspace communication from the mothership. Although the hyperspace core on the mothership cannot be used for unknown reasons, there is no problem in supporting hyperspace communications even if it cannot be used for jumps.
"...Isn't the infrared laser weapon powerful enough? Is there any way to increase the power output?" Tang Xiao was sitting in the guest seat talking to the mechanical scientist Dr. Guan Yan.
"This is not possible for the time being, because the Blade fighter uses a small fission reactor, which can provide very limited energy. If you want to increase the power of the infrared laser turret, you need to install a small nuclear fusion reactor." Dr. Guan Yan said, "This This is also the direction of my next research.”
"Thank you for your hard work. Before the ghost fighter completes the analysis, try to improve the combat effectiveness of the blade fighter. Okay, let's call Qi Jian over." Tang Xiao said.
"Manager, the recent production plan for 50 Blade fighter jets has been completed, and the first round of modifications are being carried out in batches, replacing the weapon system with an infrared laser turret." Qi Jian's voice came.
"What's the effect?"
"Weapons experiments have also ended. The damage capability of small laser turrets that can be installed on fighter jets is about 30% higher than that of primary electromagnetic guns, but the effective range is only 30 kilometers. This is definitely not as good as the almost infinite range in the space environment. It is a kinetic weapon, but it can save the space used to store ammunition, reduce the weight of the aircraft body, and improve flexibility. And to be honest, with the performance of the Blade fighter, the combat distance is generally within 10 kilometers, so the range problem can be temporarily Don’t think about it.”
Tang Xiao nodded, "Let the pilots conduct more shooting training on energy weapons. From now on, our main weapon research direction will be energy weapons."
Yes, as an energy dog in "Stars", you must climb energy technology and go straight to the light spear and arc!
He checked the personnel list again and found that with the development of the colony, two more elite scientists met the conditions for awakening. One is a computer expert and the other is an engine expert. This is what he needs very much. He immediately arranges to wake up and join Dr. Feng Yongwang's team to speed up the development of the Phantom fighter.
Then Tang Xiao found an aerospace chief engineer among the masters and looked at the conditions he needed. The conditions are harsh, including ground wind tunnel laboratories, small space docks, and a complete scientific research and technical team.
But there is no better shortcut now. He sent these conditions to Daphne Clement, asking her to do everything possible to meet this demand, and then wake up the chief engineer.
While Tang Xiao was working remotely, the mastermind's voice suddenly interrupted, [Manager, please allow me to interrupt. I just received a public channel message that a spaceship claiming to be a traveler has requested to board the ship. I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible. 】
"Requesting to board the ship? Why are there people coming to Endor, a place like this? Can you transfer the communication?" Tang Xiao immediately became alert.
[Good managers. Redirect hyperspace communications immediately. The communication information contains image data. 】
A holographic projection appeared in front of Tang Xiao. A middle-aged man wearing a cloak said politely: "Hello, you must be the manager of the space station on the planet Endor. My name is Qui-Gon Jinn. Our spaceship encountered some malfunctions while traveling in hyperspace. We hope we can get repairs and supplies from you. Please help us."
But Tang Xiao's attention was not on this obvious excuse. He just kept staring at this person and suddenly said something for no reason, "You are a Jedi Knight, right?"
The other person was obviously stunned, but then smiled lightly, "I guess I didn't write the word Jedi Knight on my face."
Tang Xiao looked solemn and said: "So, can you tell me the reason why a Jedi suddenly appeared here?" He already recognized this person.
Jedi Master - Qui-Gon Jinn!
Qui-Gon Jinn's appearance was exactly the same as in the movie. Tang Xiao immediately recognized him when he announced his name, but he didn't point it out.
Qui-Gon Jinn was still talking during the communication, "A space station suddenly appeared in the remote galaxy of Endor. The Galactic Republic must pay attention to this matter."
"Master, it's been confirmed that that huge thing is a spaceship, not a space station!" Another voice intervened.
Qui-Gon Jin's expression also became very serious. He stared at Tang Xiao and said word by word: "So, this is why I came."
Tang Xiao sighed lightly. He did not expect that the matter would actually reach the Jedi Order. "This spacecraft does not have the ability to travel in hyperspace, and it is completely a civilian spacecraft. Its purpose is to use it on the planet Endor." To carry out colonization. The formalities for this colonization operation in the Republic are currently being processed.”
"We will not interfere with normal business practices, as long as you can prove that it is legal." Qui-Gon Jin said.
"If you don't mind, please stop on my mothership for a while. I will be back soon." Tang Xiao said.
"In that case, I will be very grateful for your warm hospitality." Qui-Gon Jin nodded slightly.
After ending the communication, Tang Xiao took a deep breath and shook his head. The situation was more complicated than he expected. He wanted to go to Tatooine to find Anakin Skywalker, but was interrupted halfway by Hego's commission. As a result, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Keno were now involved. Biya came to the door!
How on earth did they discover this place? Tang Xiao had deep doubts in his heart.
But there was one thing he was sure of - he could not escape the changes sweeping the entire galaxy. Even if he is hiding at home, he will be found. At that time, I, who has been shrinking at home, will be even more passive!
We must go out and find a glimmer of hope in despair!
