On the third day after leaving Faith, the independent warship that Qin Lun and others took traveled through the superluminal orbit and came to the outermost edge of the second spiral arm. It is far away from the center of the galaxy, and its distance reaches hundreds of thousands of light-years.
Being in the middle of a galaxy and being on the edge of a galaxy are two completely different things. The starry sky that the apostles saw when they first entered the world of the Gospel has disappeared. Looking up from the window of the battleship, the most common sight they saw was a bottomless darkness.
According to Dongyue, Vera and others, this is also a kind of star blindness that star travelers often experience during long-distance travel. Seeing too many stars, the human body will deliberately ignore those starlights that appear and disappear, and regard the surroundings as complete darkness.
The environment similar to it is probably only comparable to the absolute deep sea of the planet. In addition to the cold and dead silence, human beings often cannot experience the third emotion.
The overall pitch-black Assault here is like a ghost that has returned to the deep sea. Apart from a slightly better attack power, this remodeled independent battleship has a lot of poor defense. Of course, it also has an APB force field, but in battle at the battleship level, the defensive force field it possesses is almost useless.
This is also a weakness that small independent battleships cannot make up for. However, although the Assault does not have strong defense capabilities, after the Jannamer biological armor is attached to the surface of the battleship, its stealth performance is very good.
In fact, when technology reached the era of the third universe, human beings had already abandoned gunpowder technology. Whether it is Gaussian technology or a particle beam powered engine, in a vacuum without an atmosphere, the light and heat emitted are less obvious.
The most practical heat induction detection in the old days has become a kind of unpopular detector in space. Especially when the distance between the two sides is too far away, the little heat energy emitted by the battleship is almost no different from the light of a star.
At present, the most commonly used detectors in space are metal and momentum detection radars. Although most of the current warships use composite materials, after all, the proportion of metal is very large, which is fundamentally different from many asteroids and meteorites, and can be easily captured by detection radar.
As for the momentum detection radar, it is a device that feeds back the acceleration of objects. This thing can also allow warships to quickly detect enemies, whether it is targeting metal warships or living space creatures.
The biological armor used by the Assault can basically avoid most heat and metal detection radars, and at the same time can "spoof" momentum detection without accelerating. If it weren't for the material being too cherished, Captain Marquez would have wanted to put a layer on the Faith after learning the results of the transformation of the Attack.
As they approached the star system where the X-352 asteroid is located, the young crew members on the Attack became more and more vigilant.
However, this has nothing to do with the apostle. Even Robin, the captain in name, doesn't know how to command a battleship. On the contrary, Dongyue, the beautiful adjutant, has been too sensitive these days, and has personally checked every little movement. The originally beautiful watery eyes have now turned into panda eyes.
The efforts of the beauties of Gis made the apostles feel the tense atmosphere before the war. Everyone is immersed in the simulation cabin, honing their air combat skills with other paired Gies flight officers.
"Sir, let's go here today!" Qin Lun's simulation cabin opened outwards, and a person came out from both the left and right sides. On the left is Qin Lun, who is profusely sweating, and on the right is another Ghis youth with a tender face and pimples on his face.
"Losing again!" Looking at the dazzling 11-0 on the screen of the simulation cabin, Qin Lun looked at the cheering Gies boy in front of him a little speechlessly.
This boy named Phils was the youngest of the four pilots in charge of flying with him. He was almost a stellar year younger than Vera, that is, a fourteen-year-old boy.
At the beginning, Qin Lun asked him to be a training partner, mainly because he wanted to choose a rookie who was easy to deal with. But he forgot that the Gith people's talent for semi-biological mechs is that the younger they are, the more powerful they are. The simulation cabin they trained couldn't simulate the replacement ability of the apostles. As a result, after training for the past few days, Qin Lun was beaten up by Fiers every day.
"Hehe, Phils, we've been watching from the sidelines! Sir, you've made rapid progress these days. Although you can still win now, it's getting harder and harder each time. At this rate, there will be another ten or so more, sir." Heaven can win or lose with you."
Seeing the boy's smug look, a gentle young man who was watching couldn't help but lash out. Hearing someone complaining, Qin Lun smiled and nodded towards him. This is the last male in the foursome, named Alex.
Among the five, Alex was the oldest besides Qin Lun, who was exactly twenty years old this year. He has a handsome face and a gentle temperament. He usually likes to read books when he is not on combat missions.
According to others, Alex was of good birth, a nobleman among the Giss. His air combat talent is slightly inferior to that of Phils, but he has a calm personality and is the vice-captain of this team. It's just that Qin Lun, as the captain, is not in charge of the team's air combat tactics, so he is also the actual crew captain.
"That's right, you little guy, don't be too complacent!" Another red-haired girl with a fiery figure next to him hugged Fiers' slender neck fiercely, grinding his head with a powder fist, It made him howl like ghosts and wolves.
"Okay, Mei Li, let him go!" Qin Lun stopped the red-haired girl with a smile.
"Sir, I'm avenging you!" The red-haired Meili blushed, and let go of Fiers embarrassingly.
"Yes, yes, 'I'm avenging you'!" Fils, who escaped from the clutches, jumped far away, made a strange face at Meili, and winked at Qin Lun at the same time .
"Ah, bastard Phils, stop for me and see if I don't beat you to death!" Hearing the cryptic words that Phils meant, the hot-tempered girl instantly flared her cheeks and couldn't help but swear. .
"It's nice to be young!" Seeing the two chasing away, Qin Lun shook his head with a smile.
"Hehe, sir, you don't seem to be very old!" Alex asked with a smile.
"I'm different from you guys!" Qin Lun smiled, and stopped talking about this topic, but asked with flickering eyes, "Alex, you've watched so many of my training sessions, and you feel that I'm good in air combat. Where is the biggest flaw? Why do I always lose to Phils every time I feel like I have a chance of winning?"
"Sir, you don't have any flaws. If you have to find one flaw, it is that your training time is too short." Alex suddenly smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Captain Marquez once told me , The descendant apostle is a born warrior. I didn't think so at the time, but now it seems that it is not an exaggeration at all.
Do you know? These days, you and your companions' learning ability in combat has almost subverted my entire outlook on life.
We Gisians, even top mecha geniuses like Fils and Vera, need years of training to reach our current level. But you only need less than ten days of simulated training to compete against us, and you haven't used the special ability of the apostles... "
"Alex, you should know that what we lack the most is time!" Qin Lun smiled noncommittally, "I know I must be deficient in some aspect, otherwise, I wouldn't always be caught by Phils. "
Qin Lun did not directly answer Alex's doubts. In fact, in his opinion, Alex's so-called fighting genius is just the apostle's law body at work.
Ordinary people do need to go through years of training to allow the body to form a conditioned reflex and remember the training content. However, the apostles don't need it. Their legal body is like a sophisticated computer. Who has ever seen a computer program that needs to be entered twice before it can be saved
When breaking the starry sky, even with an advanced magic skill, the apostle only needs to tear off one scroll.
In particular, Qin Lun also has the data assistance of the death list. The training content of the Guise pilots for more than ten years, under the memory of the apostles' rules, can make them spend more than ten days, which is already very complicated.
"Your shooting and tactical movements are flawless, especially... it's the first time I've seen someone who can disassemble the Gaussian phased array and shoot that kind of arc metal flow!" Alex recalled the details of the training just now , couldn't help admiring.
He thought for a while, and finally spoke again, "If you talk about the method of Phils defeating you, it's actually very simple. When I was in the Mech Academy, when instructors encountered such problems, they usually only let our students understand themselves, but Not explicitly. But since you need a quick fix, I can tell you."
"Well, tell me!" Qin Lun's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. He was always being bullied by a boy who was only fourteen years old, and even he couldn't help it.
"Hehe, air combat in space is no better than individual combat on the ground. Good marksmanship is only one aspect. More importantly, you must learn to ignore the sense of direction. There is no distinction between up, down, left, and right in air combat, and there is no ground to stand on. You have to learn Observing in all directions, you can’t always subconsciously let yourself feel that you are still standing on the ground.”
Alex chuckled and said, "Fils can catch you every time, that's because you always have some habitual evasion movements in battle, such as evading backwards, left and right, and ignoring the up and down directions .That kid saw it, and hid it cunningly, so he always catches your evasive direction in advance, can you not lose?"
"Haha, it turned out to be that simple!" Qin Lun suddenly realized, and laughed heartily, "Thank you, Alex!"
"It's nothing, I really want to see Phils' stinky face after the next loss!" Alex blinked humorously, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Qin Lun seemed very happy after his knot was untied, and asked Alex to go to the entertainment hall of the battleship for a drink. This elegant young man, more like a scholar than a warrior, readily accepted the invitation. The young people in Gith, including him, liked to hear the apostles tell about their previous adventures.
Although Starry Sky still forbids the apostles to feed back information about other mission worlds to the plot characters, this world is not so strict, which does not prevent Qin Lun from making up stories to circumvent certain restrictions.
"Beep..." Just as the two were walking towards the entertainment hall, the button-type communicators they wore on their collars suddenly flashed a red warning signal.
"Enemy attack?!" Qin Lun and Alex looked at each other in surprise, and immediately ran to their respective mech cabins.
