Chapter 186: The Brand New Young Dragon
Crisis 39 years
Huomu Hub, the Great Xia Space Force branch.
Unlike the simple docking method of spacecraft at hub ports, the port design of the Space Force is more complex and professional.
The port design here adopts a dock model, and each dock is equipped with corresponding equipment for automatic loading and supply.
Today, 20 new spacecraft that have just been completed from the spacecraft construction factory are docked in the port dock.
Unlike the original Young Dragon, the upgraded version of the Young Dragon uses silver-like supermetal as its hull material.
Due to the upgrade in material strength, the Xinghai Design Bureau had to enlarge the spacecraft in order to increase the number of nuclear fusion engines from the original two to four.
As a result, the size of the current Young Dragon has increased to 60 meters in length, 20 meters in width, and 10 meters in height, which is exactly twice the size of the initial model.
However, what is surprising is that although the Dragonite has now doubled in size, its current maneuverability and high-speed capabilities are far beyond the reach of previous versions of the Dragonite.
Today's Young Dragon has a maximum speed of 3000 kilometers per second and is designed to withstand 350Gs of accelerated gravity.
But nanobuffers must be used to withstand this terrifying gravitational acceleration.
However, this kind of nanobuffer has not yet been successfully developed. Therefore, although the current Young Dragon has very powerful performance, it can only exert its full performance under unmanned conditions.
However, it is not possible at present. Although Ah Dai can access the data link system of the Daxia Space Force, he can only make precise and imperative commands. In the real battlefield, it is necessary to rely on the combat personnel to personally drive the spacecraft to make the fastest combat response in the first time.
Therefore, although the upgraded version of the Young Dragon has powerful performance, it still needs a long 3000 hours to accelerate to 12 kilometers per second because it does not have the support of nanobuffer.
But this has far exceeded the performance of the former Young Dragon.
Li Jian stood in the square in the distance, his eyes fixed on the emerald green figure of the Young Dragon in front of him which had been fully resupplied. For a moment, he was extremely excited.
The Qiming Base has been handed over to his old partner Shi Xianliang, and under the order of Liu Shengzhan, he has taken over as the commander-in-chief of the Huomu Hub Space Force Branch as a colonel.
"Listen to my orders, board the ship, and conduct a pre-flight check according to the training manual. Ah Dai, record the operation behavior of each team member and include it in the assessment."
"Yes!"
The team members behind him burst into loud responses, and then, under the leadership of the captains, they began to board the ship one after another with meticulous movements, as if the scene was controlled by a machine.
Li Jian looked at this scene and was very satisfied, but he did not stay here for long. He turned around and walked towards the command center.
There is the latest battlefield simulation system developed by Xinghai Laboratory, which makes it more convenient to control and understand the entire exercise battlefield at the first time.
A second before he arrived at the headquarters, Ah Dai's feedback came.
"Boss Li, you have basically completed all the inspection preparations within the stipulated time. You are really well trained."
Li Jian heard this and smiled, not paying attention to Ah Dai's praise. These team members were all elites carefully selected by the Great Xia Military Department. In the past, they were all top soldiers in various units. Now that they are in the Space Force, they are surrounded by competitors of the same level, so how could they not train hard?
The door opened, and Li Jian walked in and went straight to the command position. He skillfully put on the large helmet beside him.
The scene in front of me changed instantly, and this was the preset battlefield.
"I order the Qingluan Brigade to set sail immediately and head to the designated exercise area to await further orders." Following his order, more than twenty emerald green Young Dragon ships in the dock began to slowly slide out in unison.
In today's exercise, A-Dai was only connected in a monitoring manner throughout the entire process, and all operational procedures were completed by the space force on the spacecraft.
Twenty tiny images instantly appeared in Li Jian's helmet projection. As long as he focused his eyes slightly on any image, the current image would quickly expand.
He did not read quickly, but began to check the situations inside the cockpits of each spaceship one by one according to the formation numbers.
However, after he completed the process, he did not find any problems. It was obvious that these space forces had already mastered the spacecraft.
The scene changed, and suddenly a formation of 20 Young Dragon ships formed in four straight lines and began to speed up.
Li Jian knew that this was the image sent from another unmanned surveillance ship driven by A-Dai.
"The Qingluan Brigade is expected to arrive at the battlefield in an hour."
Ah Dai's voice came over, and Li Jian continued to turn his gaze back to the cockpits, keeping a close eye on the team members' operations.
This is the brand new Youlong, which was renovated by Daxia after consuming countless manpower and resources for three years and hundreds of designers. In order to prepare for this exercise, 200 old Youlong spaceships have been ambushed at the designated battlefield.
The exercise will begin as soon as the new Dragonite arrives at the battlefield.
The rules of the exercise were simple: 200 old-version Young Dragon ships launched an ambush attack on the Qingluan Brigade without restriction or rules.
A simulated encounter situation was used to test the overall combat performance of the new Young Dragon and the training quality of the Qingluan Squadron.
At the same time, far away in the hub of Blue Star, at the Space Force Headquarters, Liu Shengzhan and Fan Ren beside him were also staring at this scene with anticipation.
Liu Shengzhan's age seemed to be frozen and he no longer grew older.
Fanren knew that this was a normal reaction after receiving anti-aging treatment, and now 10 years have passed.
This state will continue for another 10 years, and when the time is up, his life will once again move towards aging at a steady pace.
"Boy, do you think the Qingluan Brigade can escape unscathed?"
Liu Shengzhan asked the question with a smile, and Fan Ren answered without even thinking, "It's easy to get away unscathed, but according to the exercise plan, the Qingluan Squadron is going to completely annihilate these 200 old-version Young Dragons, so it's hard to say."
"I think it's possible. It's leading in all aspects of performance. Compared with our previous fighter jets, this is already a generational difference."
Fan Ren nodded. He didn't know much about combat. The main purpose of coming to watch the exercise today was to collect on-site information about various problems that would be exposed in combat, so as to make changes in future spacecraft construction.
He didn't care much about the results.
This batch of Young Dragons was just a product used by the Xinghai Design Bureau for training.
After so many years of development, many technologies of the Xinghai Laboratory are now on the verge of breakthroughs. Once there are some results, they can be taken out one by one and adapted for use on future spacecraft.
Only then will it be time to truly develop the space force on a large scale.
