Chapter 132 Feitian
The summer of the graduation season in the 1525th Federal Calendar.
Borastar Aerospace Academy, the 1021st graduation ceremony.
As an outstanding graduate representative, Yun Xinghe, who is over 25 years old and wearing a handsome uniform, delivered a humorous and meaningful speech in the circular stairs hall:
"Dear teachers and dear classmates, good morning."
"I believe that most of the people present should know my face. Of course, it's not very handsome, and some people are very annoyed. Some people may say hello to this face like this: Hey, isn't this the great Captain of the Galaxy? I heard that you have found a livable planet for humans, enough to send one to everyone?"
"Yes, I did find so many planets, of course, in a dream (laughing off the stage)."
"Don't laugh, everyone, I've really had such dreams. In that dream, there were more planets in the star system than marble balls, densely packed, and countless more. I was so happy at that time that I woke up from the dream (laughing out of the audience)."
"Of course, dreams can be done, but dreams will never change."
"My dream is like everyone present, to expand more living space for mankind and the Federation."
"I am not a great man. I joined the interstellar development, not to prove how great I am, how noble and great I am. This is just the genetic genes left over from generation to generation in my body. These genes tell me: The Yun family is a family that exists for distant stars. It is difficult for us to stay in one place for a long time. Every night, looking at the stars in the sky, we want to go to this one, and we also want to go to that one... The Yun family men are never restless."
"The universe is full of unknowns and full of dangers. Most people will never return. My father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, have 10 generations, and have gone to the far deep space. Some of them have confirmed their deaths, while others have not heard back... I am the 11th generation and I will embark on the journey."
"After many years, someone may ask why I walked towards the starry sky without hesitation? What influenced me, induced me, drove me, and became a great pioneer? Here, I want to answer him in advance:"
He paused, raised his fist and said, "It's an ideal, an impulse, a search, a romance that belongs to men, because my name is Yunxinghe."
"One day, this name will spread throughout the starry sky."
"Thank you everyone!"
Yun Xinghe bowed.
"Smack sex~"
The warm applause echoed endlessly.
...
After graduation, I was an intern on the Starship.
Yun Xinghe and his small team were assigned to the 11th Fleet of the Federation, a D-class warship of the main service class, named "Dragon Sphere". This starship is also the flagship of the 10th Fleet.
As a D-class warship, the tonnage of the Dragon Sea exceeded 1 billion tons. Its ship is more than 3,000 meters long, with 33 layers inside, and an average armor thickness of more than 5,500mm. As for the weapons it uses, it is mainly small nuclear missiles, laser cannons, particle cannons, and large-power nuclear torpedoes. In addition, it also carries 1,000 space fighters and tens of thousands of unmanned fighters. This starship is equipped with a total of 30,000 combat and non-combatants.
Even with more than 30,000 people, the interior of this advanced warship still seems extremely empty, and there are many positions and talents in urgent need of talents.
In recent years, the federal fleets have been continuously expanding, and the starship production line is being built at full capacity. Five to ten new ships are included in the service every year. This speed is comparable to dumplings, and it is a pot at once.
Take the 11th Fleet of the Bora Star for example. More than a thousand years ago, when we set out from our mother Blue Star and arrived at the 11th Fleet, there were only 12 warships, and they were all A-class warships that were kilometer long. Now, after thousands of years of nearly violent expansion, the number of warships of the 11th Fleet, a, b, c, d, and e, has exceeded 10,000.
The battleships gathered together, and the brick-like shape, dense three-dimensional square arrays, and the gorgeous firelights during weapon volley training in the asteroid belt, were amazed by the viewers.
but……
Ten thousand military trainings during peacetime are not as good as real swords and guns in actual combat.
So at a party at a Starship Restaurant, I talked to a pilot officer with the rank of captain. When I learned that Yun Xinghe was an interstellar explorer, he was both envious and jealous in his sour tone.
He complained: "Now is your time, with a long peace, boring training, relaxing holidays, and family I can see every year... I sometimes forget that I am a soldier. It would be better to say that I am a good salary, but I can't get promoted once in fifty years, and I can do a stable retirement."
He looked up and took a sip of wine. He looked at Yun Xinghe and said, "At least you can still get glory, but what about us? In the virtual training game, using virtual shot down counts to motivate ourselves, at other times, there is only emptiness..."
"On the Bola Star, our presence is not as good as some TV stars, as well as some player experts in virtual online games, and even as good as some popular anchors on live broadcast platforms... We are just a bunch of poor invisible people."
He shook his head and said, "Boy, I really envy you very much. If God gives me another chance, I will definitely give up this military uniform and choose that handsome and cool adventure suit like you!"
Yun Xinghe comforted him and said, "Uncle, you will come in handy in the future. You will not stay here for training forever. You will also carry out some difficult tasks."
Yun Xinghe did not lie to him. The old man in his mind told him: About ten years later, the Blue Star Federation will announce that a group of colonial stars will be changed to direct administrative stars and will be included in the direct jurisdiction of the Federation. At that time, these fleets will be scattered into new administrative stars to assist in completing the power reorganization.
However, during the execution of this task, these loyal soldiers did not receive praise or honor, but instead received overwhelming doubts and abuses. The titles of "executioner", "cold-blooded butcher", and "federal lackey", made the image of these federal soldiers plummet.
So they long for war, and all the outstanding soldiers of peacetime, they long for war, and a war to prove them.
But it is indeed as the flying captain said: Now is the age of adventurers, the era of soldiers making achievements, and it may have to wait for thousands of years. The cake of glory is not their share for the time being.
Yun Xinghe can only express regret in his heart.
...
In five years, in space, only a few simple tasks of cleaning meteorites and transporting larger-mass asteroids to a space smelter, have passed in a flash.
As the second internship mate, Yun Xinghe, on the "Dragon Spear", felt that he had learned nothing and got an excellent one.
Even on the "Dragon Ji" starship, Yun Xinghe still has a lot of time to pay attention to the "Seventh Spaceship Manufacturing Plant" under the Starry Sky Exploration Bureau. What percentage of the manufacturing progress has been completed? What advanced equipment has been installed? Is the power system using the "Yunxia Power Plan"? What is the defense? What is the maximum endurance?
Yun Xinghe would call the factory to ask about these questions almost every three days. Sometimes if there was a flash of inspiration in his mind and there was some modification request, he would take a leave, go to the "Seventh Spaceship Manufacturing Factory" in person, put forward his own ideas, and hope that the other party would improve.
The factory naturally disagreed, and the designer fought with him many times and even almost fought.
Finally, facing the cold reply given by the factory that "limited cost control and cannot improve as required", Yun Xinghe had to take out most of the savings in the bank except for the part left to his aunt and photographed them in front of the leader. The leader just glanced at the deposit figures, and immediately took them back with his disdainful ridicule, and immediately called the person in charge: "The No. 37 spacecraft changed according to the user's requirements. Don't ask how to change, he can change whatever he wants!"
In this scene, Yun Xinghe smiled. With hundreds of billions of federal coins, can’t he buy a detection spacecraft that cut corners in multiple ways?
I'm afraid I can buy all ten ships!
Therefore, under the strict supervision of Yun Xinghe, the No. 37 spacecraft, which was almost completely reworked, completely followed his modification plan.
The best materials used for the hull structure should be used.
The equipment on board should be the most advanced and reliable.
The hull linear shape needs to be simulated by a supercomputer, and some minor adjustments are required.
After the power system was installed, tens of thousands of test runs were carried out to maximize the power curve.
In addition, the material printer used on the spacecraft is two generations ahead of the printers on similar spacecraft. With the additional information "encryption packages" of millions of materials purchased, as long as these "encryption packages" are imported into the material printer, millions of products that need to be used in daily life can be printed out.
For example, cups, washbasins, toothpaste, toothbrushes...
Even this material printer, even cars, all-terrain vehicles, communicators, small aircraft, devices containing thousands to tens of thousands of precision parts, can be printed out directly and can be used directly.
Finally, due to rework, modification and other reasons, the spacecraft took five and a half years to complete the construction. The expenses were more than 80 billion Federal Currencies, and the construction cost was ten times that of an ordinary detection spacecraft, so in the end, the leader still didn't make much money.
But the leader was still very happy. In fact, he didn't want to cut corners, but the government gave too little subsidies. In order to ensure profits, it is necessary to save some expenses. After all, this factory has to complete the production tasks of more than 50 detection spacecraft every year.
The designers, engineers and workers who were responsible for building the spacecraft were also very happy because a truly advanced "detection spacecraft" that contains the wisdom and hard work of many people was built in their hands.
Inside the factory hangar.
Standing in front of this brand new and beautiful spacecraft, all participants' hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
After patting Yun Xinghe's shoulder, the factory leader asked: "Young man, this spacecraft has not yet been named on the sidelines. Give it a nice name."
Yun Xinghe pondered a little and slowly spoke: "Flying."
"Flying?"
The factory leader read it and murmured: "A good name, flying in the sky, not flying, it's just like it, soaring into the sky... This spaceship will definitely become a well-known star spaceship like its name. It will definitely be recorded in history books and worshipped by those children..."
Chapter completed!
