From ship girl to machine god

Qingniao looked at the attribute information displayed in front of him and couldn't help but take a deep breath and feel that his power output was four times stronger.

When it was still an amphibious landing craft, the Blue Bird only had one reactor, but now it has been upgraded to a destroyer, and the number of reactors has increased fourfold. This has undoubtedly brought her power to a very exaggerated level.

To explain it in the most intuitive and simple concept, if the previous Bluebird had a punch of 2000 tons, then she now has a punch of [-] [-] tons.

Before the upgrade, Blue Bird could rarely punch at the speed of sound. After the upgrade, she could already punch at the speed of sound like a Saint. If Blue Bird was willing, she could even punch a meteor punch, turning people into meteors in the sky.

If it were a Saint Seiya script, Blue Bird could probably challenge the Silver Saint now to grab a set of holy clothes to wear.

As for the Golden Saint's light speed fist, it is really outrageous. Blue Bird may need to upgrade to a curvature engine so that it can move at a speed exceeding the speed of light in order to be able to fight it.

"But is the Nantianmen plan so exaggerated? I can still understand the ion reactor, ion projector, and electromagnetic shield, but this curvature engine is a bit outrageous!" Qingniao looked at his newly upgraded hull and upgradeable Module, some are not sure which version of Nantianmen Project they are using.

Because before she traveled through time, the so-called Nantianmen Project was more of a cultural and creative project. Although it had an official platform and provided a lot of "creative materials", the most well-known among them were aerial combat aircraft and aerospace carrier aircraft. Things like platforms.

In terms of technology, that is, fighting in outer space in low-Earth orbit, except for some black technology in terms of energy and shields, the rest are basically at the level of the existing technology levels.

That's why it's said that this is not a cultural and creative project, but a special version of the Rabbit "Star Wars Project".

If you really think this is just a cultural and creative project, but if you think this is just a cultural and creative project, then I really built it.

But now the Nantianmen Project in the core of Jade Bird's mind is completely different. In terms of technological level, it is almost at the level of a primary interstellar civilization that has left the cradle of its home star and begun colonizing outer space.

Several prerequisite technologies that can serve as interstellar civilization and outer space colonization have been illuminated. All that is left is to find suitable habitable planets and launch a pioneering era of cosmic navigation.

There is no doubt that this can no longer be regarded as a cultural and creative project.

However, Qingniao is still too lazy to delve into this matter. For her, as long as she knows that the Nantianmen plan can be used, it will allow her to continuously upgrade and become stronger.

As for other conspiracy theories and the like, even if there is someone behind the scenes, Blue Bird has no room for resistance.

Instead of worrying unreasonably about what is available, it is better to consider how to light up modules such as the curvature engine and the electromagnetic shield, so that you can really have the capital to burn all the companies in Night City to ashes.

So after checking the attributes of his new ship body, Qingniao threw aside all the random thoughts in his mind.

"Compared with these, let me see some changes in my ship's equipment." Blue Bird said, and summoned his own ship's equipment.

Although it was still pitch dark in the basement, it immediately became brighter after Blue Bird lit up the searchlight on the ship.

This allowed Qingniao to carefully observe the changes in his ship's equipment.

Just from the appearance point of view, the changes in the Blue Bird's ship uniform are not big. The engines on the legs and the armor covering the body have almost not changed, but some details have become thicker. To use an analogy, it is like The equipment has been upgraded from whiteboard to blue equipment, and there are some more decorations in the painting style.

The two rocket launch nests originally located on the waist have been upgraded to vertical universal launch arrays and moved to the back of the Blue Bird. The other two anti-aircraft missile launch arrays have been integrated into the armor structure on the outside of the Blue Bird's thighs and are no longer a separate unit. Part exists.

As for Qade Bird's ship-killing sword, it also has some more decorations, and it has changed from a simple cold weapon to a high-tech weapon that can perform high-frequency cutting.

Her other ship equipment has undergone some major changes. The sharp sword 20-75mm high-flat dual-purpose electromagnetic rail gun that was originally folded on the right shoulder of the blue bird has become an extended turret on the left and right connected by a mechanical arm, like The main guns of those big sisters of the battleships are the same.

The drone pylons on the back have become two huge square pods, which look many times larger than the original pylons, and can only carry several times more drones. .

And compared with the original pylon, the new integrated drone pod has a more comprehensive power supply. It can not only adjust and maintain the drone's armament, repair damaged drones, but also Replenish the lost drone in the hangar bay.

This is much more convenient than the original need to use industrial modules to manufacture new drones.

As for the electronic warfare suppression module, it is still located on the left shoulder as before, while the medical module has turned into something similar to a medical bag and hung on Jade Bird's waist, and the cloak turned into a stealth module has been draped on her shoulders. .

The only thing with a strange style of painting is the engineering module, which turns into a small robot suspended next to the blue bird. The three robotic arms are equipped with different tools, and the round body looks a bit cute.

Chapter 76 Soaring into the Sky

After checking all the information and confirming that nothing was missing, Blue Bird was ready to leave and return to Night City.

According to the time record on the mental core, Qingniao knew that her upgrade had caused her to lie in this basement for three days, and it was indeed time to go back now.

Thinking of this, Qingniao looked at the entrance that was blown down by himself.

The damage to the collapsed entrance was not serious, and it was easy for the bluebird to get out.

It's just that Qingniao doesn't intend to go out just like that, but wants to test whether his new ship is powerful enough.

The output power of a single Lei Zhen II ion reactor installed by Jade Bird is 50 MW. When all four units are started, it can reach 200 MW. In an emergency, it can be overloaded, increasing the maximum output power to 220 MW.

It may not sound like much, but in fact this output power is equivalent to the output power of the US Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which is approximately equal to 30 horsepower.

Even if this output power is placed in Astro Boy's world view, it can still compete for the position of the world's most powerful robot.

However, ship girls and robots are completely different things, and Bluebird has no interest in becoming the world's strongest robot.

That's something that requires a million horsepower to do, and the current Blue Bird is still less than half that.

But no matter how it is collected, the effects such a powerful power output can cause are also extremely terrifying.

For example, now, after using the tactical eyepiece on the ship's helmet to scan the surrounding building structures, Blue Bird started the propulsion engines in his legs, let himself fly to the weakest part of the basement building structure, and then put his hands Pasted on the wall.

"Let me try, can I push open the wall and fly out like the Atomic King Kong!" Bluebird said, the propulsion engines of his legs began to gradually increase their power, and the flames they sprayed changed from orange-red to bright. blue.

The surging power output was directly reflected in Qade Bird's palms, causing her slender hands wrapped in ship armor to directly press through the cement coating on the wall and sink into the wall.

But at the same time, this huge force also shook the entire basement, and as the blue bird continued to increase the output of the engine, the walls began to loosen and crack, and cracks also appeared in the surface soil covering the outside of the basement.

If you look at it from the outside, it looks like something is about to break out of the ground.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When the Blue Bird increased its engine output to 5%, the entire soil layer had already bulged up and formed a round hill-like shape.

And when the Blue Bird further increased the engine output, reaching 7%, the soil layer that was not hard and thick was pushed away.

A large piece of masonry structure was pushed out of the ground by the blue bird. It was a corner of the basement, made of reinforced concrete and bricks, but now it was pushed out of its original position by the battleship-class engine.

As this piece of building fragments broke through the shackles of the soil layer, the surrounding soil seemed to explode in an instant, and was blown everywhere.

After there was no obstacle, the blue bird flew directly into the sky holding the fragments of the building.

Although the engine output is not even 10%, this output is enough to make the Blue Bird soar into the sky.

"It seems I can do it too!" Qingniao threw away the building fragments in his hand with a satisfied smile on his face.

Although pushing up soil or building debris is really not worth mentioning for a battleship, it is still very difficult for the Blue Bird to do something that only non-human protagonists in movies or animations can do in the past. Give her a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, these are just fun for Qingniao. After all, her engine output is not even 10%, it can only be regarded as a warm engine.

But then Blue Bird planned to take it seriously and fly back to Night City with its engine at full power.

She wanted to try how long it would take to fly back to Night City with her engine running at full power.

According to the display on the tactical eyepiece, the Blue Bird is now about 160 kilometers away from Night City in a straight line. If it flies at supersonic speed, it can fly the entire distance in just a few minutes.

With the Bluebird engine at full output, there is no doubt that it can break the speed of sound. As for how many times the speed of sound can be reached, it depends on whether the distance is enough for her to increase her speed to the maximum.

Of course, Blue Bird can also not return to Night City directly, but increase her flight speed to the maximum before returning to Night City. Anyway, her speed is fast enough, and it won't take long to fly from the west coast to the east coast.

So the Blue Bird activated the stealth module on his body to avoid being detected by radar or satellites, and then moved towards the direction of Night City, injecting all the surging power output from the four Thunder Shock II ion reactors into himself in one go. of the engine.

"Bang! Boom~~~~~~" I saw a cone-shaped white cloud appearing around the blue bird's body, and then the sonic boom generated when she broke through the sound barrier spread like thunder in all directions.

"Let me try how long it takes to fly to Night City!" When Blue Bird said this, the speed displayed on her tactical eyepiece had reached Mach 3 and was still rising.

Although the body shape of the blue bird cannot be said to have any aerodynamic layout suitable for flying, but with the surging power output from the two engines on her legs, she just used this aerodynamic structure that is completely unsuitable for flying, in a very short distance She increased her flying speed to Mach 7 within a short period of time, and this was not her limit.

But when the blue bird's flying speed reached Mach 5, the Night City actually appeared in her field of vision.

The blue bird, which just wanted to test its maximum limit, did not slow down and land. Instead, it made a slight turn and began to fly upward toward the sky.

As the flight trajectory rose straight up, the bluebird quickly broke through the troposphere and entered the stratosphere, and got closer to the top of the atmosphere.

For ordinary aircraft, this is basically close to the limit of flight altitude, because the higher the altitude, the thinner the air. For aircraft that need to rely on air to generate lift, this means that the lift they can obtain will be greater. It gets smaller and smaller until it reaches a limit and the lift provided by the air can no longer support it.

But for Bluebird, the limit?nonexistent.

Thin air only means less resistance for Blue Bird, and she can go faster.

As the Blue Bird finally broke through the atmosphere and entered outer space, the flight speed displayed on her tactical eyepiece also reached a very exaggerated figure for an aircraft in the atmosphere - Mach 32.91.

Chapter 77 Space Stone Throwing

When Bluebird was cruising in low-Earth orbit at the second cosmic speed, what she felt was not the loneliness and fear brought about by the empty silence of the universe and the deep darkness, but a warmth and comfort as if she were home.

"Is it true that space is the home of space battleships?" Blue Bird slowly turned off its engine and relied on inertia to continue flying around the earth, feeling completely relaxed.

In fact, just like traditional ship girls cannot live without the sea, space ship girls like Qingniao naturally prefer space.

This was not obvious when the Bluebird was an amphibious landing craft. After all, amphibious landing craft are not yet specialized space ships. They are ships that travel between the atmosphere and outer space. Although they mainly operate in outer space, there are still a large part of them. It is designed for use within the atmosphere.

In addition, Blue Bird has not tried to enter space before and has not experienced what it feels like to be in space, so the contrast between outer space and the atmosphere is not obvious.

But now, she has been upgraded to a space destroyer, a battleship specially designed for space battles. Space is where she really should stay!

If possible, Blue Bird even wants to stay in space and never go back. A free soul should not be bound by the gravity of the planet.

But even though I yearn for it so much, I still have to go back.

Not to mention that there are still many things waiting for her in Night City, and just floating in space like this is really not an issue.

You must know that the space in front of Jade Bird is not really empty. Apart from her, various satellites in orbit have spread throughout the entire geosynchronous orbit. As for the space stations belonging to the company, the shaking of Jade Bird's eyes hurts.

"If we knock down Arasaka's space station, that old coffin of Saburo Arasaka will probably feel uncomfortable for a long time, right?" Looking at the space station with the Arasaka company logo floating in front of his eyes, Qingniao had a hard time restraining himself from launching a few missiles. The missile gives it the desire to explode with fireworks.

Although with Blue Bird's current firepower, destroying such a space station would be a fool's errand, she decided not to destroy it after thinking about it.

Although destroying this space station will have a great impact on Arasaka, it will also trigger the fifth corporate war.

The Blue Bird directed and staged an attack in Los Santos before, which put Military Technology into a state of tension. If they were to attack Arasaka's space station at this time, Military Technology and Arasaka would have to fight directly.

Although Blue Bird plans to overthrow the company's rule, it is not in this violent way.

Especially now that she has not made any preparations. Even if she provokes a war between Military Technology and Arasaka, there is no way to seize this opportunity to grow the forces that resist the company, let alone overthrow the company.

So in order to finally overthrow the company completely, Jade Bird can only endure it now.

But even so, there are still other things that Blue Bird can do, such as throwing rocks at the space station.

Although it may sound a bit outrageous and absurd at first, the damage a stone can cause in space is staggering, especially when the stone thrown by the blue bird with all its strength is no less powerful than a missile.

As for where the stones come from, in the world before Blue Bird traveled through, there were more than 1.28 million pieces of debris smaller than 1 centimeter in outer space around the earth's low-Earth orbit, about 90 pieces of debris with a length of 1-10 centimeters, and about 3.4 pieces of debris. For pieces larger than 10 cm, it’s easy to find something to throw away.

Although this world deviates from the world before Blue Bird traveled through it, aerospace technology is undoubtedly more advanced, and there will naturally be more orbital garbage.

Although Arasaka's space station is undoubtedly much better protected than the space station in the world before Blue Bird traveled through, this does not mean that it is not afraid of collisions with these debris.

In space, most of these debris are moving at extremely fast speeds, and this is the biggest difference between outer space and the surface of the planet.

Due to the influence of the atmosphere and planetary gravity on the planet's surface, there is almost no such high-speed moving debris flying around, and even if there is, it will be burned up due to violent friction with the atmosphere.

But in outer space, these debris will fall to the ground without the influence of gravity, and there is no air resistance to slow down. This results in many of these debris generally traveling at 300-450 times per second in low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 7-8 kilometers. Kilometers of high-speed movement.
