Chapter 795 A Small Question
Chapter 795 A Small Problem
The launch efficiency of the mass accelerator is very high. The rocket must choose a time to launch and enter orbit, and the weather requirements are also very high. The mass accelerator ignores all these conditions and will launch when the crew is full.
Li Chengxi couldn't experience what it felt like to launch this thing. He could only see the airship rapidly moving along a parabolic trajectory under the action of electromagnetic acceleration. It went up into the sky in an instant and quickly passed through the atmosphere.
Without the constraints of air resistance and gravity, the rest of the things become simple. The airship turns on its own power and approaches the spaceport hovering on the side of the planet. After unloading the cargo and personnel, it can break through the atmosphere and go back on its own.
This way of going to space is very novel, but it must be said that Li Chengxi still wants to see if there is a space elevator. However, even for Alyssa, space elevators are considered a fantasy.
After all, even if you have super-strong materials to ensure that the space elevator will not fall apart, what about the foundation? The planet is rotating, and the space elevator will be thrown up with it, and the rock bed will obviously not be able to withstand it.
So in comparison, mass accelerators are the best way to replace rockets.
When they arrived at the spaceport, everyone changed their clothes and got off the ship, following the container with the Manta Ray to the anchorage where the light cruise ship was docked.
Since the light cruise ship awarded as the champion was retired from the army, it was temporarily placed in the naval port. Everyone was a little impatient, and soon a mighty warship appeared before their eyes.
The ship is about three hundred meters long and twenty meters wide. The front half is cigar-shaped and the back half is disc-shaped. When viewed from above, its shape is similar to a cattail leaf fan.
There is a Light Lance main gun hidden under the ram of the sword's prow. Slightly to the rear, there is a set of twin turrets above and below the hull. The upper one is a 210mm twin-mounted naval gun, and the lower one is a 200mm twin-mounted ion cannon.
Further back is a 12-round void torpedo tube. The bridge is located in the middle of the ship, but the design is asymmetrical. When standing next to this light cruiser, you get the illusion that it's looking at you sideways, as if it's not someone you want to mess with.
The disc-shaped rear half of the ship has two airlocks, which can accommodate up to six shuttles or six magic mechas, and the "wings" are equipped with 560mm rocket launchers, which can launch up to 40 rockets at a time.
Further back are three high-power engines arranged in a V shape. Countless built-in anti-aircraft guns ranging from 40 mm to 85 mm are arranged throughout the hull, but due to the metallic gray paint, these built-in guns do not look so conspicuous.
"Not bad, even though it's a retired cruise ship, it's only been in service for three years and has just been overhauled recently. Its performance is only slightly weaker than that of an active warship."
"It's really good, but..."
Alyssa looked around:
“But it’s too small.”
The size depends on the comparison.
A three-hundred-meter-long warship may not sound large, but it is actually about the same size as an aircraft carrier cruising on the ocean. It is no small thing.
But Alyssa's starship is eight kilometers long, and it's not even the largest among starships...
In this comparison, the light cruiser is really light.
Alyssa said it was small, mainly because she was worried about whether a light cruise ship of this size had the ability to sail long distances.
"Don't be fooled by its small size, you can be assured of its performance."
Villania walked up the gangway and motioned for everyone to follow us in and take a look.
The reason why light cruisers are the lowest standard for ships that can be used for long-distance voyages is mainly because no magic rudder will be installed below the light cruiser level.
The magic rudder can accelerate the ship to the speed of the law drive, which is the so-called pulse flight, with a daily mileage of 160 million kilometers. It is roughly the distance from the earth to the sun in one day.
This speed far exceeds that of all smaller ships, and the most important function of the magic rudder is not just the magic drive speed.
The magic rudder can be simply understood as controlled nuclear fusion. It does require the addition of reaction fuel, but the amount added is very little. It is not a perpetual motion machine, but it will not run out of fuel like a rocket.
This light cruiser has three energy storage tanks, and the energy from the magic rudder will be temporarily stored in the energy storage tanks, which is equivalent to the combination of a generator and a battery.
Jumping consumes a lot of energy. The Manta can jump twice at most, and each jump does not exceed seven Yars. The route needs to be strictly planned. Once it runs out of fuel while running around in the void, it will become space junk. Because the light cruiser has its own magic rudder, there is no need to worry about running out of fuel. Even if the energy storage tank is used up, it only needs to sail normally or simply stop and wait for the magic rudder to slowly fill up the energy storage tank.
And the reaction materials it needs are not expensive.
That thing is called star essence, also called blue crystal. It is said to be a raw material refined and processed from pure gold.
Although the price of refined gold is literally priceless in Viola's case, on Alyssa's side, since she can go up to the sky and mine asteroids rich in refined gold, the price of this thing, although not at a bargain price, is already very cheap.
Similar to the controlled nuclear fusion materials that humans are currently researching, helium-3 is needed, and there is a lot of it on the moon.
This makes interstellar travel almost like traveling on a ship.
The snail-shell ships of the mind-thirsty monsters use a similar principle, except that the reaction material they put into the magic rudder is psychic crystal.
Vilania led everyone around and finally came to the bridge.
"This ship only needs a few people to operate, but most of the weapons and equipment need people to operate. If there are only a few of us, it's just a matter of getting it running."
"enough."
Alyssa just needed a ship that could catch up with her starship, nothing else mattered.
Although it is small, its speed is not low, which perfectly meets Alyssa's psychological expectations.
"But there's a small problem."
Villania pointed to the main control terminal on the bridge:
"The ship's warp capabilities and all weapons functions are locked."
"Why? I can understand that the weapon function is locked, but why is the jump locked?"
The Storm Kingdom has very strict controls on lethal force, which is why it is so eye-catching that the champion of the Magic Mecha Competition will receive a light cruiser.
Just like in China, where gun control is extremely strict, the prize for winning a competition is a sniper grenade, which in itself is very topical.
The ship's physical artillery shells all have 0 ammunition, and its energy weapons are locked, which is normal, lest someone uses this ship to cause trouble.
But the ability to jump has no direct killing power...
Alyssa thought of this and suddenly said:
"Are you hiding something from me?"
"It's a minor issue that's not important at all."
Villania explained:
"We have a tradition in the Storm Kingdom. The royal family likes to recruit talented and amazing people."
This... should be considered normal, right?
"That's normal, but you don't know how they recruit talents. Our royal family likes marriage."
"..."
Is this the way of thinking that if you turn others into your own people, then they become your own people?
