Chapter 372: Learning on a battleship

Views:

Xu Le walked out of the room with his head lowered, and explained to the seven groups of team members who were guarding the exit.

This is the latest second-class warship of the Federal Fleet. Because it has not yet entered the battlefield, although it is not a maiden voyage, it has not yet been officially named.

The internal space of the battleship is huge, but the space occupied by the living area is extremely limited. Xu Le circled under the gangway three times, then went down to the bottom layer and stepped on the hard composite ground. He took a deep breath and walked forward. go.

There are a lot of people in the rest area. Except for the members who are on the mission, the rest of the seventh group are drinking and watching TV here, passing the boring time of the long journey. The officers on the space battleship are taking a rest, and they are performing at the Victory Concert. The engineers and staff of the team are also gathered here. Although the voices of everyone are not loud, they are still lively.

Walking through the hustle and bustle, the calmness deliberately squeezed out of Xu Le's face seemed very unnatural. Others didn't notice the difference, but Magnolia was the first to react. He stared at Xu Le, who locked his eyebrows and forced a smile, but his eyes were a little stray. Such a rudeness, I looked at the door for the national girl upstairs for a while, how could I be tossed like this

Magnolia gestured to Xiong Linquan beside her with her eyes, and the two quietly put down the teacup in their hands and followed behind Xu Le. Xu Le waved his hand and shook his head wearily, indicating that he was fine and no one needed to follow him.

Magnolia had no choice but to stop and look at Xu Le, who was completely different from usual, so she walked past the lively rest area and walked towards the quiet warehouse.

After walking for a long time, in the quiet passage of the battleship, there was only the muffled sound of his hard military boots colliding with the composite ground. Xu Le silently opened an electronic door beside him, walked in, and quickly closed the door—there was no one else here, it was absolutely quiet.

Behind him is the laundry room, and hundreds of meters below is the energy control room of the federal warship. Hearing the mechanical tumbling sound, the sound of water splashes, and the low humming sound of the warship's crystal multi-engine from under his feet, Xu Le I took off my sunglasses, wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and felt my legs were a little weak.

The proud acting skills of the national girl in the literary and art circles were not able to deceive him. He acted like a walking corpse, lost his soul like an idiot, and naturally it was not because of her joke that hurt his self-esteem.

In fact, the real reason that made his legs weak and sweating against the cold bulkhead was because he had been in the room before... For no reason, I thought of what Li Xiuzhu said in the Qiu Mingshan villa. Li Xiaotong's weird expression in the autumn wind at the expressway intersection made a crazy and absurd thought faintly emerge in his heart.

This blind date... I'm afraid it's really not a naughty joke of a big star!

But this is too unreasonable, Xu Le stared at the metal debris in front of him in disbelief, and muttered to himself in disbelief, "Could it be that the Ministry of Defense also serves as a professional marriage agency?"

For many days after that, the battleship to Xilin was calm all the way. Under the brilliance of the charter, no rude interstellar pirate could be stupid enough to go deep into the federal star domain. Three days later, the space battleship ended the flat-string acceleration in the galaxy, and officially entered outer space with high-speed propulsion. Even the low humming crystalline engine sound was no longer heard. The long journey in space, all it has is Boring quiet.

After changing shifts, the staff will go to the living area to drink two glasses of wine, play chess, chat, watch TV and movies, and pass the time. In addition to the staff of the performing arts team, the officers and the members of the seventh group all have some vague hopes in their hearts, will the national girl who is loved by thousands of people walk down the gangway to have fun with everyone.

Having been with the legendary Jian Shui'er for more than a month, it would be a pity if I couldn't see the true face of this big star with my own eyes. However, to their disappointment, the national girl has locked herself in the room since that day, and no one knows how she will pass the time in the bedroom alone, will she feel lonely, looking at the unchanging universe outside the floor-to-ceiling window Wouldn't the background be boring.

There are very few people who have permission to enter the upper core area. Sister Tong and two female assistants are responsible for Jian Shui’er’s clothing, food, housing and transportation every day. In addition, only the three top officers of the battleship and two or three people from the seventh group can set foot there. restricted area.

Xu Le has this kind of authority to inquire about the loneliness of the national girl, but of course he did not dare to go, and he could even vaguely guess why Jian Shui'er locked himself in the room.

Passing through the virtual space channel on the edge of Shanglin area, the space battleship entered full speed sailing, and the traces left by humans in the universe became less, except for the monitoring satellites laid out by the Charter Bureau outside the asteroid belt in the distance, all Everything is attributed to the original with a rather solemn beauty.

Jian Shui'er still didn't go downstairs. The people who were full of expectations couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but not too angry. After all, she was a national girl among the stars, and it was natural to keep a certain distance from her and others. What's more, this girl star in the Federation has always been known for her sense of mystery.

In these days, Xu Le did not let himself idle, and after handing over the security control work to Magnolia, he was very relieved to wander around the interior of the battleship. It's not true to say loitering, because he spends most of his time in the top-secret multi-engine control cabin and battleship control room, like a repairman and like a curious child, touching around gently, and sometimes even using Nose to sniff.

Carrying a bag of buns in one hand and an electronic transcript in the other, he stayed in the important cabins of these federal warships for a day and a night. Only when he was sleepy would he return to the living area to rest.

He carefully studied the structure and structural details of the Federal Type II space battleship, and worked tirelessly to copy and study. He specially applied for a long-distance cross-star encryption line from the battleship control room, and connected the information he had come to contact on the battleship with Shang Qiu, who was far away in the capital star circle, and asked her for technical support.

The officers on the battleship have always maintained strong vigilance and doubts about this outsider entering and leaving the restricted area. They did not understand why the captain would issue an order to allow this person to enter and exit the most confidential place. You must know that the area where Xu Le enters and exits involves the engines, transmissions, and weapon systems of the federal space warships. This is a secret among secrets. This person is only the security director of Whitewater Company. Why does he have such privileges

Ordinary officers did not understand the reason why the captain gave Xu Le the authority, because they did not know that Xu Le was originally a lieutenant colonel at the General Assembly Base of the Ministry of National Defense. The engineer who made a great contribution to the mecha, when he expressed his curiosity about the three major systems of the battleship, the captain granted him permission without any psychological obstacles.

Fortunately, in the process of studying, visiting and researching, Xu Le was very quiet and silent most of the time, except for occasionally asking mechanic sergeants, and would never disturb the normal operation of the battleship, and his face was always sincere. A lovable smile, after a long time, the officers and soldiers on and off the battleship have become accustomed to the existence of such a strange person.

In the database of Professor Shen Yulin of the Nutshell Research Institute, Xu Le had learned a lot about materials science. In order to wake him up, the Federal Central Computer had forced many exquisitely designed structural drawings into his mind. The journey, being on the most advanced warship of the Federation, just gave Xu Le an excellent opportunity to compare the theoretical knowledge in his head with the practice, of course he was reluctant to miss it.

The comparison between the multi-engine system of the space battleship and the dual-engine system of the MX mecha is the focus of his research these days. The operating principles and fitting procedures of the three major systems of the battleship are also what he cares about.

The reason why he diligently and fascinated to visit and learn these things is not only the professional instinct of an engineer, but also the influence of his childhood dream. Before being forced to escape from Donglin, he was considered by his uncle to be a mechanic genius, and his greatest wish in this life was. She was a mechanic officer who became a female captain of the Weizuo battleship, and besides that, she entered the Nutshell Company as an engineer.

The captain of this second-tier federal warship is indeed a lady, but she is over forty years old and has a poker face. Having said that, there is a purple-haired captain, the most famous girl in the Federation, in the cabin on the second floor, although she will definitely not command the space battleship...

Xu Le suddenly woke up, and quickly rubbed his hot face, knowing that he was thinking crooked again. In the past ten days, he often thought crooked and crooked.

The sound of beeping beeped, the soldiers who were monitoring the energy of the battleship in the third control room subconsciously glanced at the blaring police lights, and quickly finished their work, leaned against the wall, and fastened their standing posture. seat belt.

"Countdown to B1288 space transition."

All the visible portholes of the space battleship were automatically closed by the three-layered baffles of polymer material and manganese-potassium alloy. With the countdown of the clear electronically synthesized female voice, the smooth-running battleship suddenly vibrated. This vibration did not stop. It's not intense, but it's like a massage. No wonder the soldiers were leaning against the wall and chatting about the movie they watched last night.

Xu Le touched the electronic notepad in his pocket, grabbed the seat belt on his chest with his fingers, and squinted at the black polymer baffle by the window. He has experienced this kind of space transition many times, so it is no longer new, and he has no fear. He is just very curious, what the three-dimensional twist rate cavity outside the battleship looks like at this moment, if there are no high-strength baffles Cover up, can you see the most beautiful turbulent flow of spontaneous energy rays in the universe with the naked eye
