Chapter 1663 Existence is Everything
In fact, Yu Lian felt that Horatio Wayne was a little more modest.
In his opinion, his red-haired old enemy was actually an innate master of military situations. In ancient times, he was a so-called natural warrior. This type of general can always find the enemy's weaknesses in a bloody war and launch a deadly attack on the enemy. Rounding things off, they should also be very good at finding directions to escape and break out, right?
This is why he is obsessed with baiting enemies and investigating.
Yu Lian hoped that he could recognize his abilities earlier. Otherwise, it would be a bit of a waste of resources for a good general who can stand upright to become a professional investigation assistant in this timeline.
I hope my worries are unfounded.
The squadron led by Horatio Venn left the Babel system on January 18. The aircraft carrier fleet led by Senior Sister Eleanor left on January 21. Judging from the steps of dividing the troops and the march plan, it seems that Yang Xiyi is really preparing to implement his "cut off one finger" combat plan.
After all, Yu Lian still doesn't have much confidence in the success rate of this plan.
Fortunately, Yang Xiyi didn't seem to have any confidence.
He said: "Don't worry, I have a personal grudge against General Maytig, and I would be angry if I wanted to annihilate him. Of course, the priority of Fleet Yang is to exist. Everything is for existence, and existence is everything."
Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will look for opportunities to annihilate the enemy while preserving myself."
Teacher Yang is really an honest gentleman. He didn't lie. He did have some personal grudges with Maytig across from him.
Although Yu Lian's heart was raised again, he was only from the far shore war zone after all, and he really had no control over the New World.
Considering that the maker and executor of the plan was Yang Xiyi himself after all, and all the latter's crazy operations were based on careful consideration, Yu Lian could only relax.
The main force of Yang's fleet set off from the Tower of Babel on January 25. It is said that before setting off, he had received a battle report from the Horatio fleet. They had already engaged the Maytig fleet and were moving towards the planned combat area.
In this regard, Yu Lian had no other words to say except "Safety first."
"Safety first." Yang Xiyi solemnly responded: "Only safety can exist."
In this way, after the return journey across the star gate was over, everyone could only go on their own journey.
By the time Yu Lian received the news from Tan Jize, time had slowly come to February 7, 834 in the Common Calendar. At this time, he himself had finished all the combat readiness inspection work in the New China Star Region, returned via the mountain-sea channel, and had arrived at the entrance of the channel that was officially renamed "Juyong Pass".
The expansion lasted for nearly a month, and the Juyong Fortress under construction was much more complete to the naked eye. General Yu Lian highly praised the project builders for their dedication and hard work without fear of danger, and then continued on their way.
However, before returning to his loyal Sede Fortress, Yu Lian felt that he needed to take a trip to Xin Shuntian to inspect his ship, the Natural Crest, which was still under repair and preparation.
According to Zhixia, the repair progress of this giant ship is relatively smooth, and the damaged armor and main guns can always be replaced by monkey versions from China. In this way, although there are certain problems with compatibility, at least the absolute firepower must still keep up.
The mass accelerator cannon from the Empire's Skyfire Industry, the light spear weapon from the Alliance Beifeng Factory, the ion cannon from the Community, and even the secondary battery modules obtained from Minlan and Toss Merchant Group can all be installed at once. Although it sounds a bit like a motley crew, as long as the shipbuilding technicians overcome all difficulties and dangers, these weapons made by all nations can perform their duties in the main gun compartment at the bow of the ship.
Of course, considering the problem of the command system of weapons made by all nations, Zhixia proposed that a new type of neuron command module can be installed - this is a new product of Red Star Design Institute. It is said to use electronic units to simulate the nerves of parasitic protozoa. A system composed of metacomputing networks. In Professor Zhuang’s view, this is an epoch-making product that can bypass the prohibition of omni-machine definition, but can significantly improve the work efficiency of large ships. Perhaps it can also be regarded as the community's first technological product that is the top of the universe.
However, it is still in testing.
However, the reliability may be doubtful, but in this war period in the wilderness, there is no need to worry about this much. Testing new equipment in actual combat is the most manly way.
In addition, active gravity source radar, type 12 deflection shield, etc. can be installed with force. Of course, the above equipment is not all produced by the community. It does come from the sunk Dreadnought Zeus.
After all, it was the newest dreadnought built by the Alliance. Although the hull was damaged to the point of being almost irreparable, a lot of equipment was still preserved. For example, six neutrino sublight engines were replaced by two; the remains of 20 deflection shields can be pieced together to make one-third of the total. What's more important is that the active gravity source radar is still in good condition. After replacing some screws and circuit boards, it can be used again.
In this case, how can we stop using it? Although the equipment of the dreadnought is used on the Titan's hull, this is no longer a small horse-drawn cart, but a 200-pound burly man wearing the underpants of an eight-year-old. But what can be done? In the current state of the community, as long as there is something to wear, it is more important than anything else.
In any case, the Natural Crest is indeed an outstanding work of imperial military engineering. Even if it barely puts on the underwear of an eight-year-old, it can still exert the necessary combat effectiveness.
This is of course enough to prove that the capture of the Natural Herald was definitely not a technical issue, but a thorough tactical issue. Even if she is sent to the battlefield now, it is okay.
Of course, it cannot deal with Titan ships of the same specifications, but it should still be able to deal with the siege of two or three Flame Dragons or even the Barbarossa class.
Although the Natural Crest has not completely transformed into the shape of an Earthling, it has still changed by 70% to 80%. As for its remaining combat power, even if it cannot be called a resurrection with full health and full health, it can still be regarded as an elite monkey version.
Zhixia's report immediately made Yu Lian jump for joy. He suddenly realized that he might also be a person who wanted to have a Titan. Although thinking this way will definitely misunderstand Fuxi, what's wrong with men being fond of the new and hating the old?
So, when he was thinking about it, he saw a secret call prompt on his terminal. For a moment, he almost thought that he was overjoyed and hallucinated.
In fact, this encrypted band call code is a series of vague strings, and the light and shadow patterns are still beating. It made the most sophisticated Linge 733 terminal in Yu Lian's hand look like a fake found at a flea market.
Such a ridiculous scene is indeed like an illusion.
However, Yu Lian is very clear that this is certainly not a problem with the personal terminal. It is just a product of the technological side of this era. After all, it still has some limitations. At present, it cannot fully restore the rune encryption of mysticism.
By this time, he was almost certain of the other party's identity.
Sure enough, when he completely unlocked the code, the holographic projection that appeared in his eyes was the long-lost Tan Jize.
The two of them showed a tacit and understanding smile at the same time, but no one spoke for a while, and they actually fell into a brief silence. Not seen for a long time, Tan Jize has naturally lost a lot of weight, his cheekbones are obviously higher, there are more signs of sunburn and frostbite on his face, and he even has long hair. The beard that lacked trimming marks covered his lips, teeth and chin, giving him a look that had been weathered and tortured by society.
Yu Lian was very shocked. He actually saw a few hints of Ma Mentor's charm in this guy's current appearance.
Of course, even Teacher Ma is the kind of tough teacher who can crush Matt and Guizo to death with his fists. Now, he is wearing a brown travel trench coat that can almost be used as armor. He seems to be standing at attention. However, if you look closely, you can see that there are many scratches and stains that cannot be washed away, but you don't know where they got it.
However, his eyes were still bright and determined. In other words, it is brighter and more determined than the last time I saw it.
If he hadn't known that this guy was not a psionic person, Yu Lian might have doubted what adventure he had and what inheritance he had.
Looking at his old comrade whom he had not seen for a long time, Yu Lian said with emotion: "The last time I spoke to you, you were a typical urban legal elite who was elegant and capable in every gesture."
"I know, you actually want to say that I used to be sanctimonious and unreasonable." Tan Jize twitched his lips and even closed his tough-guy beard a few times: "Actually, I used to be this kind of person, it’s really hard to explain.”
Although he said this, he couldn't help but add: "Actually, when I was studying at Shire Memorial University, the court etiquette course was divided into three levels, and each level was worth 2 points."
"Don't fool me, the elective course obviously only has one point." Yu Liandao.
"Law courses are different. Although they are not compulsory, they are very cost-effective. The men of the Galaxy Empire can pay a lot for elegance." Tan Jize smiled.
Indeed, in the Galactic Empire, whether you are a lawyer or a prosecutor, you will inevitably have to deal with nobles and gentlemen from all walks of life. Many times, court etiquette is not a pretentious skill, but a serious survival skill.
For top academics from all walks of life, isn’t this kind of credit just something they can get at their fingertips? It is much easier than struggling to memorize the laws every day. A top student among top students like Tan Jize also studies court etiquette seriously, which at least shows that he is a pragmatic person.
Sure enough, the most charming people in the world are always pragmatic idealists.
"My biggest gain from this trip is probably that I learned to get along with people from all walks of life. The aristocrats do not represent the world, and the urban middle class is even less so." Tan Jize's eyes looked very deep: "There are too many People who see the universe are different from us, and they see different sufferings. They are the majority of the world, but their voices are always ignored.”
"I completely agree. I pride myself on being well-informed and proud of my past across the galaxy, but I have never had a profound understanding of the more basic world. In this regard, Lao Tan, I am far inferior to you." Yu Lian began to self-examine:
"I can guess that your journey must be quite exciting. It's all written on your face."
Tan Jize laughed heartily: "Hey, how do you know that the great expedition of our ice spaceship has been successful?"
