Chapter 1550 Space Tires
After everyone was in place, almost an hour passed before the unmanned reconnaissance station flew to a slightly brighter area.
The reason why it is slightly brighter is because there are non-stellar light sources nearby.
Above a floating asteroid, a huge man-made object appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Its size is between a colonial satellite and a space station, and its shape is different from ordinary colonial satellites.
Generally, colonial satellites are packed in barrels, which can maximize the use of artificial gravity generated by rotation, and a very large solar panel will be deployed at one end.
But this thing has an umbrella shape on the outer edge and a sphere in the center. It looks very similar to the 'space tire' shaped colonial satellite of Guangming City.
This is the typical design language of the Red Maple Republic.
The outer umbrella-shaped part is not a solar panel, but more like a structure composed of cabin ends. Alyssa guessed that the outer part is the living area, and the central sphere is used for experiments. place.
After all, this is a secret laboratory. Given the current unfavorable war situation in the Red Maple Republic, it is likely to be discovered if it enters the star system, so no solar panels are deployed.
The unmanned reconnaissance station began to approach from below. Villania looked at the screen and said:
"New communications were detected. Someone tried to take over the unmanned reconnaissance station remotely. It began to slow down."
Although this thing is now under the control of Li Chengqi, if Li Chengqi does not intervene, it will naturally return to the control of the original control agency.
“How long has it been since the previous route coordinates were launched?”
“Three hours ago.”
"Type the last coordinates, start the separation process, we have to get off."
Although Villania can modify the data of the unmanned reconnaissance station, if a fleet follows too closely behind, such a large fleet will It is very difficult to modify the large-scale data perfectly to the point where no problem can be seen, so the royalist fleet is actually following them slowly at least a few hours away to ensure the super power of the unmanned reconnaissance station. Out of radar range.
Pressing the final coordinates is equivalent to reporting the last point. The Swan abandons the fixed hook. Because it is too close, it is absolutely impossible to start the engine at this time. The Swan completely relies on attitude control to control the nozzle and gradually becomes unmanned. Separated on the reconnaissance station.
Of course, special attention must be paid to this. If this thing suddenly turns when separated, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, nothing like this happened, and the Swan completed its separation right below the colonial satellite.
The unmanned reconnaissance station slowed down slightly. It was probably exchanging data with the console and checking whether there was any mechanical failure. Then right in front of the Swan, the unmanned reconnaissance station started its own engine and accelerated again. Soon He disappeared into the vast darkness of the void and continued his reconnaissance mission.
“No patrol fleet was found, it is speculated that it may dock at the port.”
“It seems that these guys are very confident in the unmanned reconnaissance system they built.”
Alyssa continued:
“Don’t start the engine, keep approaching.”
The principle of the attitude control nozzle is actually very similar to that of the battleship's engine. They are both similar to plasma thrusters, except that the attitude control nozzle is much smaller.
The acceleration performance of flying with this thing can be said to be very poor, but it is not unusable.
After all, the void environment belongs to microgravity. As long as a little thrust is applied, it is enough to accelerate a large spacecraft.
If you don’t start the engine, you are afraid of detecting obvious heat sources or engine lights. Even if you use attitude control to control the nozzle, it will not start all the time, but intermittently, and adjust the attitude and speed carefully.
This operation is not easy, but I have to say that for Carlos, it is easy to hold on.
"The posture is stable and remains relatively stationary."
This huge colonial satellite is in a rotating state. The only place that does not rotate is the central axis, which is usually the space port. But the Swan obviously couldn't enter the port, so it found a place on the edge and maintained a relatively stationary speed synchronized with the space station.
Alyssa waited for a while deliberately. With the absorber and optical camouflage, the other party obviously did not notice that there was an uninvited guest next to her, otherwise she would have seen a warship leaving the port.
"Get the strike team ready."
Alyssa unbuckled her seatbelt and stood up, and looked at the time on her personal terminal:
"We have about three hours, so we must do it as soon as possible."
The role of the Swan is not only Just came to report something.
Time weapons are too outrageous. The royalists do not want the Republic government to possess such weapons, but they also do not want the Spinning Water Federation to possess such weapons.
By simply blowing up this place, the royalists cannot guarantee whether there is any data backup left, and they cannot stay here for a long time to clean up the battlefield. If it is not cleaned up and the research is restarted, it will be in vain. Exploded.
Because of this, although the royalists turned to Alyssa for help, they also sent people here to prevent Alyssa from secretly collecting the information for her own use.
Of course, you can't say it so directly, it would be a bit hurtful.
So in order to ensure the complete disappearance of this weapon, someone must invade the terminal and eliminate all the data, so that they cannot have any possibility of restarting research.
At this time, the royalist Princess Leia can play a big role.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Because the distance is too close, once the protection of the absorber is lost, even a shuttle like the Manta will be discovered by the opponent's radar, and the Swan will definitely not be able to directly dock with the satellite from the outside, and it will still be discovered.
Everyone who entered passed through the hatch, holding a small propulsion device the size of a bicycle, and relied on it to approach the outer wall of the secret laboratory.
The people involved in the operation included Lieutenants Sofia, Duy and Cao Wei, as well as more than a dozen soldiers.
Due to the need for covert action, there was no way to bring the golem named Benben. Benben didn’t want to go, and Shanafia didn’t want to go either, so they didn’t take them with them.
Leaving aside these professional combatants, Alyssa, Fang Lanyin and a few mechanics were also inside.
Alyssa wanted to see with her own eyes what this so-called time weapon was. Besides, Alyssa felt uneasy if she didn't go there in person.
As for Fang Lanyin and a few mechanics...
Without their help, no one could open the door to the interior.
Of course, the most eye-catching among these people is Princess Leia. Not only did she not hold the propeller, she did not even wear protective clothing, and her body went directly into the void.
It really makes people realize that she is not the same creature as ordinary people.
The Swan was already as close as possible, so everyone arrived at the outer wall of the secret laboratory without spending too much time.
There are many hatches on the outer wall of this kind of space station or colonial satellite. This is not a bug, but a passage left for convenience when it was first established. Most of the time it is closed.
In order to ensure that they can be used when energy is lost, most of these hatches are purely mechanical structures. Fang Lanyin and the others were busy holding the tools for a few minutes, and one of the doors was opened.
