Mech infantry

Chapter 528
From the perspective of volume, the volume of the transport ship can be said to be the largest among all spaceships.Even compared with the flagship battleship, it is nearly double the size.The huge size can make the transport ship load more goods and reduce the transportation cost.

But in terms of speed, transport ships are the slowest of all spaceships.

Having experienced the high-speed commercial spaceship specially made by Lantian, and now sitting in a military armed transport ship, Yunyi even has the illusion that walking is much faster than the transport ship.It has been almost a week since they set off, but the No. 20 mixed armed fleet has not even left the Weizhou star field, and is still flying leisurely and leisurely.After the spaceship set off, it has been thinking of traveling in the southwest direction, where it can pass through the long-distance XW01 wormhole and directly reach the Xingzhou star field.

According to the current speed, without a month's time, this fleet will never even try to reach the Unicorn Fortress.

Although he was anxious about the speed of the ship, the maximum speed of the transport ship was just like this, and there was nothing he could do if he was anxious, so Yun Yi calmed down and locked himself in the room alone to study and design the mecha.A few days ago, he received a communication from Yin Ji, the head of Tower Shield Academy, and learned that in the two months since he left, there have been more than 100 innate-level mecha masters.Moreover, there are already more than [-] colleges that have reached the tenth level. It is estimated that in the next six months, the birth rate of innate masters will usher in a blowout, and they will spring up one by one like mushrooms after rain.

Yunyi knew that the design work on his side had to be accelerated, otherwise, after the students were all innate, they could only fight in ordinary mechas bought on the market, and they would not be able to exert their due strength at all.

Fortunately, Yunyi has a solid foundation in mecha engineering, and during this period of time, whenever he is free, he will jump in front of the optical computer to do design work.Now the most basic overall structure has been prototyped. If the current speed is followed, the design can be completed within a year or two if nothing unexpected happens.

In addition to designing mechs, Yun Yi occasionally urges Lan Tian and Lian Ka.The latter provided him with the rare ores mined from NW-AL0083 on behalf of the joint family of the Cologne Chamber of Commerce. After Yunyi paid the corresponding amount of imperial gold dollars, these ores would be sent to a secret warehouse of Tower Shield Academy Archive it.As for the former, although Lan Tian is in charge of the extremely important artificial wormhole communication line during this period, the construction of the rare ore smelting factory cannot be left behind. This is related to the use of rare materials when manufacturing mechs in the future. There are also fighters, mecha design drawings, and factories for manufacturing mechas, but there are a few materials that are missing and the mechas cannot be produced. In that case, it is enough to make Yunyi depressed to death.

Lan Tian is quite concerned about the mining and metallurgy factory, and sent his capable generals to take full charge of this matter.Moreover, the location of the mining factory is in the Kingdom of Mayah. As one of Yunyi's best friends, Omer will also be very concerned about this matter and has given a lot of help during the construction process.

According to Lan Tian's estimate, it will take at most half a year for this large-scale space mining and metallurgy factory, which can be regarded as the largest in the Southeast Universe, the fourth in Chu and Tang Dynasties, and the top ten in the Southern Universe, to be completely completed.At that time, no matter whether it is the ore shipped from NW-AL0083 or the ore purchased by Yunyi from other places, it can be shipped here for processing to produce the rare materials he needs.

On the ship, besides designing the mecha, Yunyi communicates with Lin Moxue every day.Although the delay in communication is getting bigger and bigger due to the distance, the two of them never get tired of it, as if they feel uncomfortable if they don't talk for a day.Of course, Yunyi mainly faked information about the front line from Lin Moxue, so as to grasp the latest developments in the war.

Lin Moxue told him that now the fleet of New America has gathered on the planet closest to the Unicorn Fortress, and there is no intention to launch an attack yet, but relying on this planet to start building a military supply base.

After learning about New America's movements, Yun Yi admired its preparations for a long-term war of resistance.It seems that there are also extremely outstanding generals, marshals or staff officers in New America, who can clearly analyze the current situation of Chu and Tang.Presumably they already know that the various forces from Chu and Tang to support the Unicorn Fortress are not as harmonious as imagined.Although due to the current situation, we are united to fight against New America, but if the time goes by, the long-term idleness and the consumption of materials will cause morale to continue to decline, and naturally some people can't help but leave first. As long as there is a ship As soon as the battleship leaves, there will be a second and a third ship, and when all the battleships that came to support the Unicorn Fortress leave, it is time to launch a general attack.

Therefore, what is most unfavorable to Chu Tang now is the long-term battle plan of New America.

I don't know if Lin Jiaoyang has come up with a countermeasure, and Lin Moxue is not very clear about it. She just told him that when he was communicating with her grandfather, although he always had a smiling face when talking to her, the smart Lin Moxue could still learn from it. Captured a trace of sadness.

But now, these things are not what Yunyi needs to consider.

There is still about a month to go before arriving at the Unicorn Fortress, and it is not close to the reality, unable to observe the actual situation of the Unicorn Fortress at close range, even Yun Yi has no way to make countermeasures.Instead of wasting time thinking about how to defeat the fleet of New America, it would be better to devote all time to the design work of mechs.

On the eighth day after leaving the base, the fleet finally arrived at the XW01 wormhole entrance and exit from the Weizhou star field to the Xingzhou star field.

Compared with the prosperous wormholes in the past, the flow of spaceships passing through the wormholes is obviously not as good as before.Although only a small group of people know about Qin Shou's rebellion, and ordinary people don't know about it, it is this small group of people who stand at the top of power or wealth in Chu and Tang Dynasties, and those who usually pass through the wormhole Most of the spaceships are owned by these people.The current situation in Chu and Tang makes these people dare not act rashly, let alone conduct ocean trade as before.Maybe one day when the fleet leaves, it will be stopped by a warlord and they will all be packed away, and there will be no time to regret it.

Passing through the wormhole, and after another ten days of flying, after passing through the wormhole for two days, the fleet finally arrived at the Juzhou star field adjacent to the Guzhou star field where the Unicorn Fortress is located, the Cologne Merchant League, and the Yangming Kingdom .

The Juzhou star field is the only one among the eight star fields in the Chu and Tang Dynasties that does not border the Zhongzhou star field where the capital Chang'an is located. ".However, the Juzhou star field is the only way for the Chu and Tang Dynasties to conduct trade exchanges with the Cologne Chamber of Commerce, the Yangming Kingdom, and various countries in the southeast. Therefore, the degree of commercial and economic prosperity is higher than that of the Xingzhou star field and the Weizhou star field. Be stronger.

After coming out of the wormhole, the fleet will turn to the north, and it is estimated that it will take about seven days to reach the wormhole leading to the Guzhou star field.

Along the way, I didn't encounter any intercepted fleets, so it can be said that it was relatively smooth.Moreover, the wormholes they passed along the way were all controlled by Lin Jiaoyang, and no one came to make things difficult for them.

However, seeing that it was about to reach the Unicorn Fortress, something strange happened.

On this day, Yun Yi was sitting in front of the optical brain concentrating on studying the stability of an energy circuit.Master Niu had encountered this problem before when he was designing the Yiyi Mecha, and told Yun Yi no less than three solutions.But right now, Yunyi had a whim, and wanted to add an energy control system to this circuit in order to better control the flow of energy.If this problem is solved, the energy recovery time of this mech after releasing its combat skills can be shortened by at least a quarter.This is extremely important and beneficial for mech cavalry regiments suitable for group battles.

It's just that it's not easy to solve this problem. Yun Yi racked his brains and tried countless methods but couldn't find a solution.

Just when he was extremely distressed, and even had the urge to kick the light brain in front of him, he suddenly heard a hasty knock on the door.

Sighing, Yun Yi knew that she was a little impatient.This is the case with mecha design work, sometimes a small problem can trouble the designer for a long time.But if you go out for activities and distract your attention at this time when you are puzzled, maybe you will think of a solution to the problem with a twist in your mind.So Yun Yi didn't blame the person outside for disturbing his work, but opened the door very calmly.

Outside the door was a younger soldier, wearing the military uniform of the logistics fleet.As soon as he saw Yun Yi open the door, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Yun, something is wrong, Commander Zhang, please go to the command room immediately."

Yun Yi asked strangely, "What happened, why didn't Commander Zhang send me a message directly?"

"If it could be sent, it would have been sent long ago." The soldier's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Now the fleet is surrounded by Mie particles scattered by the enemy, and it is impossible to communicate at all."

Yun Yi was taken aback for a moment, he had joined the army since he was a teenager, and he knew a lot about Mie particles.In space, as long as Mie particles are scattered in a large area, the communication between the spacecraft and other directions can be blocked, which is a very widely used thing in war.But he has never heard that Mie particles can also block the internal communication of other people's spaceships, so after hearing what this soldier said, Yun Yi's first thought was that he was lying, and his second thought was that It was Zhang Xintian's communicator that was broken.

Thinking of this, he quickly turned on the communicator and sent a message to Zhang Xintian.

After seeing the words "network interruption", Yun Yi believed what the soldier said.Suddenly, he thought of the word "enemy army" in what the soldier said just now, and then he came to his senses, "You mean, we are being targeted by enemy warships?"

"It's not being targeted, it's being surrounded!" The soldier's face was a little anxious, and he urged, "Mr. Yun, hurry up and go to the command room first."

Yun Yi didn't bother to ask more questions, and hurriedly ran to the command room.Because he knows very well what the consequences will be if a transport fleet encounters the enemy.Don't look at this fleet's so-called "armed mixed fleet", but it is actually just adding some artillery and missile launchers to ordinary transport ships. It has neither the large-caliber main guns necessary for warships, nor mechs and fighters The catapult system is fine against some small pirates who don't have eyesight. Once they encounter the enemy's regular army, they can't run even if they want to run at the speed of a transport ship, let alone fight.

While running, Yun Yi suddenly thought of another question.

The fleet is still in Chutang, obviously the enemy cannot be the fleet of New America.Moreover, both Lin Jiaoyang and Qin Shou have reached an agreement to support the Unicorn Fortress. This fleet belongs to Lin Jiaoyang. I believe anyone from the military can tell it from the code name at a glance. How dare they risk provoking a civil war? Danger to rob this fleet?
After thinking about it, the speed under Yun Yi's feet was not slow, and he quickly ran to the command room.Some soldiers and crew members I saw along the way, as well as the staff and technicians on the ship, all had panic on their faces.It seems that the personnel on these logistics fleets have never fought a real battle.When passing by the outward porthole, Yunyi glanced at it, and with the naked eye, he could see a sparkling light in the distance, but the planets cannot be so dense, they can only be man-made objects. In this case, Yunyi can already guess It can be concluded that those are the enemy fleets targeting their own battleships.

It’s just that the example is too far away. Even if Yun Yi has the tenth level of innate cultivation, it is impossible to see what kind of spaceships are from such a long distance. Only by relying on the ship’s detection system can we see clearly which side they belong to. battleship.

"The first team, can you hear me, please answer...the first team, the first team"

"Second Team, can you hear me, please go back"

"Third Squad"

As soon as he entered the command room, Yunyi saw Zhang Xintian yelling at the communicator. It seemed that there was a problem with the communication system of the entire ship, and he could not communicate with other spacecraft.In this way, the command of the entire fleet was completely paralyzed, the people below did not know the intention of the above, the commander of the fleet could not mobilize the squadron, and the commander of the squadron could not command the battleship. If the enemy took the opportunity to attack, they would not be able to organize resistance.

Seeing Zhang Xintian's sweaty cry, Yun Yi shook his head slightly, thinking in his heart that fortunately this guy is not the commander of the main fleet... "Use light signals to command!"

Yun Yi couldn't bear to see this fat man anxious, so he reminded him from the side.This is also a measure that the fleet usually adopts when it cannot be contacted but is relatively close.Using the flickering of lights to transmit some simple signals can let other warships know the intention of the captain of the fleet.

"That's right, why did I forget this." Zhang Xintian slapped his head, and immediately sent someone to use light signals to notify other spacecraft to prepare to circle.After giving all the instructions, Zhang Xintian remembered the person who reminded him, looked up, it was Yun Yi, and quickly thanked him, "If Mr. Yun didn't remind me, I'm afraid I still don't know what to do."

On this ship, Zhang Xintian can be said to be the supreme commander.Although he is only a lieutenant general commander of the logistics fleet, he also holds the power over almost everyone on the ship.But when this kind of thing happened, and the contact with other warships was cut off, he didn't have anyone to talk to.After thinking about it, he thought of Yun Yi, because Lin Jiaoyang personally notified him to find a young man and asked him to take the young man to the Unicorn Fortress.It can be seen from this that this young man named Yunyi is definitely not an ordinary person. It is estimated that Lin Jiaoyang has a lot of background to let Lin Jiaoyang come forward in person.

With this in mind, Zhang Xintian asked someone to invite Yun Yi to come over, but he didn't expect that he would do him a great favor when he came here.

Yun Yi sighed slightly in his heart, the quality of this fleet can be seen from such an incident.If Zhang Xintian didn't think of it for a while, but other officers or soldiers under his command, if it is the flagship of a main fleet, once encountering such a situation, no matter whether it is an officer or a soldier, they will immediately think of the light command signal, and everyone Remember what the signal means and what it means.Look at the soldier who went to prepare the light signal, and was still looking up what the signal meant on the optical brain.

"It's nothing." Yun Yi said lightly, "What happened, where do those battleships belong?"

"It's a New American." Zhang Xintian said bitterly, and then switched the screen to the screen detected by the detection system. Sure enough, the thousands of warships that appeared on the screen were all Poison Falcon-class warships.This kind of warship is the main military warship unique to New America. Although there are also such warships in Chu and Tang Dynasties, they are almost all placed in museums or in the laboratories of warship research institutions. up.

Coupled with Mie particles scattered around, Yunyi can already imagine what this fleet wants to do.

It's just that he couldn't figure out where the new American fleet entered the Chu-Tang border.Although the Juzhou star field is the most remote star field in the Chu and Tang Empires, the north and west are within the Chu and Tang Dynasties, the northeast is the Cologne Merchant Alliance, and warships from any country are never allowed to enter the country; while the southeast It is Chu Tang's loyal Yangming Kingdom. It is said to be a kingdom, but in fact it has already become a puppet kingdom of Chu Tang, and everything must follow Chu Tang's instructions.

"Where did this fleet come from?" Yunyi asked without looking back.

"I don't know either." Zhang Xintian said bitterly, "I was still sleeping just now, and was suddenly called up by my subordinates, and only then did I see that the enemy had scattered Mie particles at some point. From the records, it should be at Before we arrived here, Mie particles were already sprinkled on this route, we just didn’t notice, and got in. Fortunately, the enemy’s fleet is still some distance away from us, and we hope to have time to escape.”

Yun Yi frowned. At this time, what he thought about was not how to escape from this starry sky, but why the New America fleet appeared here, and the Mie particles used to isolate the signal were scattered along the route.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and couldn't help shivering.

"Could it be... there is a long-distance wormhole from New America to Chutang?"
