Chapter 605: Sunrise
The light outside the porthole suddenly brightened, with space as the back. In the upper left corner, a huge fireball hangs. The core of the fireball is dark red, and the closer you get to the edge, the lighter the color. Flames continued to emanate from the edges, and the scarlet corona that swirled gently stretched like a ribbon. The sun blessed several nearby planets, and on one earthy planet, a giant starship as majestic as a mountain hovered in space.
That was the cruiser Sunrise.
Alan looked out of the porthole and saw the huge sunship behind him painted Sunrise with a crimson sheen, giving the starship a different and vivid color. The Sunrise looks like two connected peaks, small in front and large in the back, connected by a bridge in the middle. The surface of the hull is covered with a series of devices such as a turret matrix, a communication array, and a shield generator. Those dense signal lights are like the fluorescent lights of the stars that are constantly flashing.
As a federal cruiser, the Sunrise carries more than 10,000 people, and it is self-sufficient and capable of enduring operations. On it, there is a freshwater conversion unit, which produces nearly 100 tons of water per day, which is enough to support the water needs of all personnel on board. Since it is a large starship for space operations, how can it be without a weapon platform. On the Sunrise, it is loaded with an intelligent heavy artillery matrix, a turbolaser wing gun, a multi-purpose missile launch platform, an electron main gun, etc., so as to provide the necessary fire support for the Sunrise.
In addition to this, the cruiser is equipped with a deflection shield that is not available in ordinary starships, and its role is to bounce off enemy ship attacks. Coupled with the magic shield that protects the hull in all directions, the cruiser's defense capability far exceeds that of ordinary starships.
At this moment, the Aurora handed over its driving rights. The artificial intelligence brain of the Sunrise is connected to the control system, and the Dawn is remotely controlled to the designated port of call. As the Dawn continued to move closer to the training ship, Allen saw that there were several high-speed frigates moored near the Sunrise. They were distributed around the perimeter of the cruiser, forming a three-dimensional defense network.
Moments later, the Aurora lowered its altitude and glided toward the harbor where the Sunrise was moored. The cruiser blocked the sunlight like a mountain, and the Aurora slid into one of the berthing bays like a bird. After the starship got inside, an armor plate gradually lowered, isolating the inner and outer worlds. The starship descended slowly, and blue lights could be seen flashing on both sides of the runway. When the Aurora hit the ground, there was a small accident. The damaged left side of the airframe could not lower the wheels along the road, and the guide starship slid sideways on the runway.
Fortunately, the speed was not fast, and finally the starship, which was constantly spewing sparks, finally stopped. A group of centaurs in the mooring module immediately ran up and sprayed the starship with foam sprayers to cool the airframe and engines before they exploded.
Moments later, the automatic doors of the engine room opened, and after the deck connected to the ground was lowered, Allen rushed out with all the people on board. A woman dressed in a federal military uniform and still a little youthful looked stepped forward and saluted: "I'm Second Lieutenant Elenda, welcome to the Sunrise, Mr. Allen." ”
Alan nodded, looked back at the Aurora, and said, "We were attacked on the way, killing two Cato starships, as well as a Gree giant. However, our starship is also damaged, and I wonder if the second lieutenant can get someone to help repair it. Of course, I would pay a qiē fee. ”
The second lieutenant named Elenda opened her big round eyes and said in a lost voice, "God, you actually killed a Gray giant. Those big guys have a natural advantage in space, I wonder how Mr. Allen did it? ”
"It's nothing, it's just a space war." Alan said casually.
Elinda's eyes were full of respect, and space warfare was not something anyone dared to carry out. Not to mention one's own strength, just being in outer space to fight is a test of one's will. After all, space is different from the interior of the planet, and in that environment, it will be affected by many influences, and even ten percent of the power will be exerted at most seventy percent. Dare to enter the space war, regardless of their own strength, this courage alone is enough to make this young female ensign admire from the bottom of his heart.
It took her a while to come back to her senses, a faint flush on her face, and she said, "Leave it to me to repair the starship, I promise that when you need it, it will be in good condition." As for the cost, Mr. Allen doesn't have to worry about it. This time, the federal government has taken on all the logistics, including the maintenance of the starship, so that you can fight on the front lines with peace of mind. ”
"That's great, thank you very much, Second Lieutenant Elenda."
The second lieutenant said softly, "You can call me by my name." ”
Then he stood up straight, took out a tablet brain and handed it to Allen, and said, "Next, the team that chooses to hunt freely like Mr. Allen will assemble on the Sunrise." There is the next process arrangement in the brain, please be sure to read it carefully Mr. Allen. Now I will take you to the room to rest, and in two hours, General Russen will convey to you the combat mission. ”
"Russon on. Will? Alan said in surprise: "Isn't he in the Underworld?" ”
Elenda pursed her lips and chuckled, "It seems that Mr. Allen doesn't care much about federal affairs." Don't you know that the main force of the Federation participating this time is the three combat divisions of the Golden Lion, and the death spread is responsible? Marshal Kapro will not arrive at the Rudson Star Field until later. Will, to carry the death spread arrived earlier than three days ago. ”
Thinking of the domineering and imperious general, Alan felt a headache. Of course, now he is no more than a small soldier who cannot control his own destiny when he was in the Underworld. Possess a natural disaster to survive, awaken the hymn of death, although it is still impossible to be in the Federation. will be the opponent. But if you can't beat it, you may not be able to get out. If he had the current strength when he was in the Underworld Star, he was afraid that Lu Sen would not be able to do whatever he wanted with him.
Coming back to his senses, Alan nodded and said, "Please lead the way, I think everyone is tired and needs to rest." ”
The rooms arranged by the Federation for the combatants are naturally prepared for the main combatants of the team. As for the pilots and other crews on the starship, there are other arrangements. They were led away by the other soldiers, and Elenda led Alan and the others to the ship's living quarters. They were assigned to a suite with four rooms, a living room, a dining room, and a bathroom.
After telling Alan again for two hours, remember to attend the combat meeting presided over by General Russen, and Elenda smiled goodbye. The only four rooms were quickly divided, with Lucy naturally having one to herself, and Reina taking one. Of the remaining two, one was owned by Allen, and Regis shared one with Belmode.
Alan walked into his room, which was not large, only ten square meters long and wide. The cramped space reminded him of the shack he had lived in on the surface, but the beds, chairs, tables and tables in the room were clean, and there was even a pot of green potted plants. Although it is a very ordinary cactus, it is also a luxury visual pleasure to be able to see a little green in space.
He put his things down and lay down on the bed, allowing himself to enter a state of complete relaxation. So I naturally thought back to the space battle with the Glay people not long ago, this was the first time that Eren fought in outer space, and the experience was extremely precious. Alan refuses to let go of any detail, and constantly makes deductions and adjustments in his mind. Before I knew it, two hours passed quickly.
The brain placed at the head of the bed made a prompt sound, but it was an electronic invitation to the combat meeting. Alan got up, picked up the brain and walked out of the room. Only team leaders were invited to the battle meeting, and then it was up to each of them to relay the information to their own teammates, so Alan left Lucy and the others in the room.
Following the radio prompts along the way and the guidance of the soldiers, Alan left the living area and came to the multifunctional electronic war room designated by the meeting. On each side of the war room was a group of heavily armed Union soldiers, and a middle-aged colonel checked their identities before letting them go. Allen was lined up behind a dozen people, and suddenly there was a commotion behind him, and then someone was heard shouting: "Look, it's Lu Sen. Will. ”
It turned out that Russen had arrived.
Naturally, the crowd leaned to the side, making way for Russen to pass through. Alan didn't want to meet with Russon, so he turned sideways, blocked himself with the body of the person next to him, and looked up.
Russen was still the same, with short gray hair rising up like steel needles. Every line of his face was as clear as if it had been carved out by a knife, and he pursed his lips tightly, and his one-eyed eyes were sharp. Seeing him can't help but lower his head, he doesn't want to make eye contact with him. The close-fitting military uniform, dressed on a black background and with gold trim, outlined the general's tough lines, while the military boots embedded with iron plates made a heavy footstep like a drum.
For a moment, the corridor became silent, with only the sound of Russen's heavy footsteps being the only note.
After Russen, two ponytails of different colors, one gray and one black, jumped into people's sight. It was a young girl, with a hint of childishness on her cold face, and a black river Styx seemed to be hidden in her rare black eyes. As she looked forward to it, the waves of the River Styx flowed, reflecting the faces of all beings with different expressions. And these faces were soon submerged under the River Styx, as if in the eyes of the maiden, there was no room for them at all.
However, among those floating and sinking faces, there was a person's face that gradually became clear, and at least the woman could not ignore him.
The girl suddenly froze.
"What's wrong, Catherine?" Russen stopped and asked.
When Catherine stopped, Alan turned his head away, and at the same time shrank back slightly, hoping not to target the young major general who was named the Grim Reaper. Unfortunately, it backfired, and Catherine strode in. A pair of long legs wrapped in military boots stepped on the sound of Jin Ge's war drums, and the compelling momentum made the people around him subconsciously retreat. Alan sighed and stepped forward generously, showing a bright smile: "Long time no see, Major General Catherine." ”
