Chapter 364

Time flies like an arrow, time flies, and 20 days pass in a blink of an eye. Under the patching of the relay station, he was finally no longer disheveled.

The repair work of the zero element transmission pipeline and the nuclear energy network has been completed, and the completion of the outer wall has also been successfully completed. The technology of the StarCraft human race is lower than that of the Ipsilon civilization after all. Even with Emma's full planning, it is still not very beautiful when viewed from a distance.

Leaving aside the broken rudder stock at the relay station because it is not up to the level and cannot be connected, the damaged area at the 8 o'clock position in the outer ring area is repaired, like an original glamorous evening dress, but it is sewn on the buttocks. Patch it with a piece of coarse cloth, no matter how you look at it, you will feel uncomfortable, no matter how you look at it, it will feel uncomfortable.

Of course, even though it is not very beautiful, Tang Fang is still very satisfied. For ordinary families, the more glamorous and beautiful a piece of clothing is, the more it will be put on the shelf, and the less brilliant clothes will be treated as casual clothes and worn on the body for many years. It doesn't matter if it doesn't look good, what he wants now is practicality.

After the emergency repairs, not only the outer wall of the relay station was connected into one piece, but also the internal equipment of the relay station was no longer exposed to vacuum. The zero elements of the relics are no longer leaked. For this reason, Tang Fang also specially took out 10 tons of zero elements from the energy reserve of the Morning Star and injected them into the energy pool of the relay station. The "Omega-2" relay station is the starting point for him to establish his own power, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

On the other hand, after the repair of the nuclear energy network was completed, the super-large fusion reactor at the relay station restarted its work, including the massive hydrogen and helium particles ejected from the Chaos Star and dissociated in "Omega-2", which were captured by the collection equipment of the relay station and injected into Nuclear reactor. With the cooperation of zero element energy, the 700-kilometer-long relay station is like a giant waking up from sleep, opening up a water curtain-like brilliance, and the shield system finally works again.

In addition, there are more things to be happy about. In the process of salvaging the wreckage of the warship, "Cupid" restored two sets of high-tech products suitable for the Morning Star.

One, the antimatter auxiliary thruster array. This was found on the wreck of a particular type of frigate. According to the analysis data returned by "Cupid", the auxiliary thruster array belongs to the category of antimatter equipment. After the zero element supply is connected, the conversion equipment of the thruster will convert the zero element into protons and antiprotons. Through the annihilation reaction between the two, charged mesons are obtained, and then compressed and accelerated in the multiple effect field, and finally ejected from the tail. Tube shot.

Because the initial velocity of the meson is very high, and after being compressed and re-accelerated by multiple effect fields, the velocity of the meson is close to the speed of light when it is ejected from the nozzle. high density. The meson eruption at nearly the speed of light will endow the battleship with terrifying explosive power in an instant.

However, due to the high energy consumption and the inability to use the reaction chamber carrying multiple effect fields at a high frequency, this auxiliary thruster array is mostly used for auxiliary propulsion such as starting speed up and quick steering.

Because it is a frigate-level ship equipment, the size is not big, and the transplant process is very smooth.

As the Lightning Python-class destroyer of the Charles Federation, the unmodified Morning Star was already known for its speed. At this time, after installing antimatter auxiliary thruster arrays on both wings, its explosive power and turning speed reached a jaw-dropping level. In Tang Fang's opinion. The current Morning Star is worthy of the title of Lightning Python.

Second, the shaped cannon. The Morningstar finally has a weapon it can handle. A weapon that is powerful enough for a 200-meter-class destroyer to unleash the powerful attack power of a battleship. This is a weapon transplanted from the wreck of the Ypsilon destroyer.

In fact, Tang Fang felt that the name of the Cannon was not very suitable for him, and it would be more friendly to call it Dahe Cannon. The reason is that the operating principle of this weapon is similar to the Yamato cannon of the Terran battlecruiser in StarCraft. It compresses and confines the nuclear energy, and then launches it, relying on high-heat particles to kill the opponent.

From the point of view of the principle of operation, the concentrated energy cannon, or the Yamato cannon, is not much different from the plasma cannon. Just more explosive. It can best play the effect of setting the world with one blow.

However, the Yamato Cannon uses the fusion reaction method. As for the cannon. It was fusion nuclear power on the Ypsilon frigate, but on the Morning Star. It becomes fission nuclear energy.

Although the Epsilon frigate is small in size, it is really short and powerful. It is a seventeen-night man with a golden gun that can't fall. With the conversion efficiency of its fusion reactor, it is like playing if you shoot eight or nine times a minute. .

But it is such a charming beauty who is loved by everyone, flowers bloom when they see flowers, and reincarnated when the gods see them. She settles on the Morning Star. On the dung, um, it was cow dung pulled by an old cow with diarrhea.

Thanks to Emma's efforts, the shaped cannon was finally installed. Tang Fang also experimented with it. It is very powerful. He once smashed an asteroid more than 200 meters away. If it is an ordinary cruiser, it doesn't take much to get a shot. I have to go back to grandma's house. Battleships are also at the mercy of it.

However, every advantage has its own disadvantages. This thing is a sultry girl with a pure appearance and a wild heart. With the frail body of the fission reactor in the power cabin of the Morning Star, she simply cannot stand up to her thirteen-style maiden. , It's not cool enough over there, he's softening now.

To put it simply, the power of the fission nuclear reactor of the Morning Star is not enough, and it is difficult to support parallel modules such as the shaped cannon, propulsion system, and plasma shield at the same time.

Propulsion systems, plasma shields, and railgun arrays all go offline while the cannon is active, and there will be a period of weakness after the cannon attack is over. Of course, at this time, Tang Fang can also make a fuss and switch the shield mode to a high-energy "universal shield", so as not to be caught by the opponent and destroy the Morning Star, but this always makes him feel uncomfortable. Very upset.

After so many days of picking up junk, he couldn't get a usable fusion reactor. This made him annoyed for several days. It wasn't until the repair work on the outer wall of the relay station was completed that he had to suppress his irritability and start the long-distance voyage. .

...

On this day, Tang Fang got up early, not because he became more diligent, but because he has been busy salvaging the wreckage of the warship for the past few days and neglected to communicate with everyone.

When he finished washing, put on his military uniform and came to the bridge, Grant was sitting on the sofa with a dark face, and Joey next to him looked like he had done something wrong, and he lowered his head and dared not speak.

He turned his head and looked at the bridge. It was found that most of the operators were not there, and even though it was still early, it was still berthing. The bridge shouldn't be left unattended. Tang Fang turned to look at the two of them: "What's going on?"

"Hmph." Grant glared at Joey angrily, "You tell me yourself."

"I...I...I..." Joey opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time. He didn't say a word in a daze, his face almost turned red into two monkey asses.

Tang Fang looked at Grant, then at Joey: "Joy, go get busy."

Seeing this scene, he couldn't understand the truth. It was determined that Joey had caused trouble, and Grant was teaching him a lesson. Speaking of which, Joey was also one of the first to follow him. Compared with Walton, Churchill and others, he is much younger, just as old as Bai Hao and Roy. Children, there are a few who don't like to cause trouble and make trouble, needless to say that little bastard Bai Hao, even Roy, a stuffy country boy, sometimes makes a few troubles.

I heard that he has been running to Valentine very frequently recently, and he is always trying to do more than help. A toxicology experiment almost burned the old professor's eyebrows and beard. It is reasonable to say that Joey got into some trouble.

"Hey." Joey smiled at Grant as if he had been pardoned. The cat ran out of the bridge with a low waist.

"You..." Tang Fang shook his head: "To Bai Hao and Roy, they are really used to and doted on everywhere. How come they are so strict on my brother-in-law?"

"Don't mention it, I'm not very strong." The deputy captain's face finally eased a little.

"What the hell happened? You got so angry." Tang Fang asked, walking to the circular multifunctional podium in the middle of the second floor of the bridge, and connected a PDA to the star map system.

At the mention of this, Grant's expression changed. He said angrily: "I've been wondering for the past two days, that kid likes to brag and fart with the soldiers in the entertainment area when he's free. Why is he suddenly working hard these days, and always likes to run to the bridge."

"I just got up early today. Come here and have a look, guess what?" Grant had a strange expression when he said this, as if he hated iron but felt quite helpless, and there was also a sense of embarrassment.

"What's the matter?" Tang Fang asked casually while inputting the route set by Emma with reference to the dimensional lock distribution map into the star map.

"This guy...he...he actually got involved with Ship Officer Yuffie."

Tang Fang was stunned for a moment, and after three to five seconds, he suddenly burst into laughter, looked at Grant playfully and said, "Are you jealous? Why do I feel sour? Although Yuffie is two years older than that kid Three years old, but that's okay, I don't believe you didn't like girls who were a few years older than yourself when you were seventeen or eighteen."

Grant blushed: "What's the matter, in the current form of war, he still has the mind to talk about love?"

Seeing that the transmission progress was frozen at 100%, Tang Fang unplugged the connection, walked up to Grant, and said with a smile, "Why not? No matter how harsh the environment is, no matter how dark the world is, there is always something that can warm people's hearts and support them to go on." Stuff. Sometimes it's hope, sometimes it's hate, sometimes it's love. It doesn't matter that society is dead, but we're alive, Joey and Yuffie, let it be, he's grown up, and so are you Let go, trust me, Serena will not blame you."

After finishing speaking, Tang Fang patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and walked out of the bridge.

Since Zhou Ai swallowed the "snake gallbladder", Claire moved in with her because of fear of accidents. Who would have thought that Zhou Ai's emotions have been stable for more than 20 days, and his body has not experienced any abnormalities. Freya has acquired the ability to drive electric energy.

After arriving at the "Lost Land", he has been busy salvaging the wreckage of the battleship, and did not bother to ask about her physical condition. Thinking that he will set sail to leave "Omega-2" tomorrow, Tang Fang plans to come and see her, by the way Ask about Linglong's recent situation.

Zhou Ai's room is not far from the bridge, and he went up to the second floor and walked a short distance to the door. He walked to the door and pressed the doorbell. After a few breaths, the door opened with a "chuck". , a burst of tangy aroma hit, and Claire appeared in front of her.

It may be because she just took a bath, the girl's long hair is wet, and it is scattered on her shoulders. Through the collar of the shirt, you can see some drops of water on the white skin, some of which are too old and ignorant, winding all the way down, submerged in a shadow.

Originally, Claire was wiping her wet hair with a towel in one hand, and tidying up the hair trapped in her shirt with the other. Perhaps it was caused by the heat and fumigation, her cheeks were flushed like drunkenness, and the long eyelashes were drooping with dew. Like water with smoke.

"Hey, why are you here?" She obviously didn't expect that it was Tang Fang who knew the Captain well. She is the deepest on the Morning Star, and even Tang Lin and Tang Yun have to stand aside. As the leader of the rebel army in the eyes of outsiders. The model captain in the minds of the crew is actually a lazy guy to put it bluntly. Maybe he will be more diligent at critical moments such as missions and confrontations between the two armies, but if it is normal time, if you don't stay in bed every day and drag it for 20 minutes or half an hour, is it still him?

"It's not me, who do you think?" Without waiting for her to let go. Tang Fang stepped into the room and looked around: "Where's Zhou Ai?"

"She went to training with Linglong." Claire brushed her hair and gave him a hard look: "You didn't sleep late, why did you wake up so early today?"

Tang Fang grinned, looked her up and down, and jokingly said, "I'll come to see you, I have to get up early, otherwise, I wouldn't miss a scene of hibiscus coming out of the water." Stare at the girl's chest.

Claire blushed even more. Consciously or unintentionally, he covered his chest with his arm, and spat lightly: "Rogue." Then he turned his back and took a ball of hair tie on the table. Gathering up her full head of blond hair, twisting it into a flower bud at the back of her head, she said without turning her head, "You are here to find Zhou Ai..."

"En." Speaking of business, Tang Fang nodded: "How is she doing recently? Nothing unusual?"

"No." Freya tidied up her hair from her temples in the mirror, and then wiped off the drops of water on her brow: "Everything is normal these days, even I wonder if what happened that day is really what Valentine said It's food poisoning, which leads to hallucinations."

Tang Fang pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "No way. Zhou Ai has always acted steadily, but what happened that day was too reckless. Unlike her character, thinking about it now, it is still weird."

"You don't have to worry too much. I'm with her. If there is any change, I will notify you immediately."

Tang Fang nodded, changed the subject, and asked about Linglong again: "What? Does Linglong come to Zhou Ai every day?"

"Well, it's been rain or shine for a month." Speaking of Linglong, Claire sighed: "This kid is really strong enough. With Zhou Ai's training intensity, the elite soldiers in the special training camps of ordinary troops can't bear it. Thinking of her being able to hold on."

"Girl who works hard!" The so-called knife is not sharp if it is not sharpened, and a man is not a tool if he is not sharpened. Adversity makes heroes. Speaking of Linglong, Tang Fang also appreciates it. The hardships and hardships of the past did not overwhelm her. Instead, it was like the gale on the plateau, making this girl who is weak on the outside but strong on the inside full of resilience.

"By the way, do you want to go for a morning jog with me?" Freya asked as she handed him a cup of coffee.

Tang Fang took it, took a small sip, looked at her sideways, and said with a smile: "Then... respect is worse than obedience. I will get you a young man today, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of taking care of you in the past few days."

"Cut." Claire gave him an annoyed look, "You're going to go along with the flow and always use these small favors to bribe me."

"Ah, I'm really embarrassed for you to say that. Otherwise, you can see if this is possible." As he spoke, Tang Fang stood up from the sofa, walked behind Claire, held her back, and held her back. The face protruded from the back to the ears: "Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'll be with you all day today, how about it?"

At the end, when Claire's ears were flushed, he added another sentence desperately: "Well, I won't leave at night."

"Speech." The girl turned from embarrassment to anger, turned around, pushed Tang Fang's chest with both hands, angrily pushed Tang Fang out of the door, and pressed the close button casually.

"Huh." Tang Fang was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "That's it, then I'm leaving...don't regret it."

As he was about to leave, a faint sigh suddenly came from the room: "What an enemy... I'm changing clothes."

"Oh." Tang Fang chuckled, "I'll wait for you outside."

Five minutes later, at the pier at the relay station, Claire, who had changed into sportswear, trotted all the way, holding two slices of hot bread in her hand. Judging from the golden color of the surface, it should have been fried.

"You haven't eaten breakfast yet, here..." The girl casually handed over a slice, and then took bites of her slice, pecking it into her mouth like a bird.

Tang Fang looked at her with joy: "Why, this is not like the usual you."

Seeing that he stuffed the slice of fried bread into his mouth, the girl said angrily, "Don't swallow it so fast, you have to run in a while, it's not good for your stomach, it's easy to get sick."

"It's okay, it's okay." Tang Fang waved his hand: "I'm used to it."

"I really can't help you." Claire sighed, took a break, and stretched his arms after he swallowed it all: "Let's start."

"En." Tang Fang nodded: "Lead the way ahead."

The girl stopped talking and started jogging. Tang Fang followed her. The two ran and laughed all the way, quietly enjoying this rare leisure time.

About 7 or 8 minutes later, when the two of them transferred from the outer ring area to the inner ring area and were about to go back, they ran into Zhou Ai, Linglong, and Bai Hao head-on.

Zhou Ai's expression was normal, while Bai Hao's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. The most embarrassing one was Linglong, whose delicate face was dripping with sweat, almost soaking her temples hair. However, there was no pain or fatigue in her eyes, only a firm and fearless gaze.
