Chapter 736 Selected, Vanguard
After Tomalin urged the soldiers on the spacecraft to start busy information analysis, she returned to the cab and asked all the pilots to tighten up. Any relaxation now may be fatal.
"They are really a bunch of people to worry about. They will be lazy if they don't give them a good lecture."
Tourmaline glanced at everyone in the cockpit.
She wasn't mumbling, her voice was loud enough for everyone in the cabin to hear clearly.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat solidified.
But Tomalin didn't care. She lay carelessly on her chair and flipped through the analysis report.
Until a piece of information is transmitted.
It's Yan Xia's order.
"All spacecrafts of the 13th detachment of the BI Corps approach the AC Corps and enter the idle stage. After accumulating full energy, they will accelerate again."
The spaceship can be accelerated twice.
For example, a spaceship accelerates to a maximum speed of 100,000 kilometers per second for the first time, and can accelerate again to 200,000 kilometers per second after charging energy for the second time.
But this is just theory.
How does a spaceship increase its energy to full during travel?
The amount of energy required to accelerate a modern spacecraft is astronomical. It is true that some dark energy and dark matter can be used for charging, but the charging speed is actually very slow. Maybe 5% of the energy can be charged in 100 years? Or lower.
After all, the size of the spacecraft is limited. It is impossible to install a powerful engine and a large energy storage cabin and still have space to build a huge and efficient dark energy capture device or dark energy conversion module.
At the same time, the spacecraft also needs to retain a certain amount of energy to provide to the weapon system.
The modes of armed spaceships and battleships are actually the same.
Charge 100% before starting, and use 100% of the energy to accelerate. If it is a short distance, use 50%, not full speed.
After the acceleration is completed, all energy is exhausted, and the machines on the battleship begin to operate and recharge. After flying for decades, the energy of the weapons is first fully charged, which is about 10% to 20% of the total energy storage of the battleship, depending on the battleship itself. The functionality is based on speed or firepower coverage.
This model has been used ever since.
Although countless scholars have been trying to solve the problem of charging the battleship during flight.
After solving it, not only can the battleship's force system be upgraded, but the speed of the battleship can also be increased to sublight speed through two accelerations and three accelerations.
This is an academic question with great potential.
However, the result is that this problem has not been solved yet. If an external energy storage device is installed, it also means that the warship will be heavier, and heavier energy will be needed to propel it to the same speed.
The energy storage compartments of all warships are now close to a threshold, and increasing the amount of energy storage will only make the warships slower.
By plugging in a large-scale energy production device, although the energy can be increased more in the future, the first acceleration will be much slower. The second acceleration will still take three to four hundred years, which is not a short time for a space voyage. distance.
And if we really want to travel hundreds of light years, why not use a super-hedge material transfer device?
Then you can directly enter the light speed state.
No solution.
But it's not impossible.
This is why Yan Xia issued this order.
In a fleet, if each spacecraft produces 1% of energy, then 100 spaceships can provide one spacecraft with full energy, causing this spacecraft to enter a second acceleration.
"It's the president's order, but it directly hit our spaceship. Could this be trust?"
"This is the president's affirmation of our abilities. He must have seen our efforts. Well done, boys and girls."
Tourmaline was delighted.
But everyone else in the cockpit looked ashen.
They knew what Yan Xia wanted to do by issuing the order.
They accelerated a second time and became the vanguard to investigate the enemy's traces.
This is definitely an extremely dangerous task.
If you are not careful, your entire army will be wiped out.
What's there to be happy about?
At this time, every soldier in the spaceship had already picked out Yan Xia's eight generations of ancestors and scolded them.
Maybe everyone usually respects Yan Xia, but if it involves death, then Yan Xia is their biggest enemy in their hearts.
However, the thoughts of these soldiers did not affect Tourmaline.
"Why are you looking so sad?"
"It's your honor to be noticed by the president. The president issued an order specifically for us."
The soldier wanted to persuade Tourmaline to calm down, but Yan Xia was referring to the entire detachment of Team BI13, not their spaceship.
But obviously he couldn't calm down. Tomalin asked all the soldiers to strictly follow the instructions, and then urged those soldiers who processed information to increase their workload, saying that this was a performance in front of the president and they could be promoted.
Everyone knows that this time he is going to die, and whether he will survive or not is a question.
"Perhaps we were chosen because of this crazy woman."
"It's really unlucky. Why was he assigned to her? I thought I would be fine if I endured it for a few hundred years, but I didn't expect that I would be sent to die on the battlefield."
"I've had enough for a long time, but I can't escape."
"I hope my pension will be sent home!"
"If that crazy woman were in front of me now, I would definitely beat her up, even if she was punished by military law."
A group of soldiers established a communication group to communicate continuously.
For them, this is a nightmare.
Everyone has the idea of escaping from the battlefield.
Who is willing to shed blood for the Star Country?
They joined the army just to make money.
However, there is a difference between imagination and reality. They were selected, went to the battlefield, became the vanguard, and the commander was a madman, as if all the misfortunes fell on them.
They can only cry without tears and accept this sad reality.
Of course they want to escape.
But who doesn't know that they want to escape?
Every soldier has a monitoring device installed in his body. If they take action, they will die directly.
Although they have not experienced it, they have heard the description of the veterans.
That kind of death has no pain. The body decays in an instant, leaving nothing.
The eyes of the officers will not stay on the escapers for a second. No one cares if the escapers die. After the war, the deserters will not be regarded as a shame, but will be removed from the list. Any information about him is not worthy of being kept. The history of this person cannot be queried from the largest data center in the Star Country, as if he had never been there.
Although some people don't care about these.
But it was impossible to escape, which put an end to everyone's idea of escaping.
Unless someone collapsed.
At this time, everyone on the spaceship was nervous and they began to care about the passage of time.
Everyone was cursing at all times.
Until the second acceleration of the spaceship began.
