Chapter 797 One-stop solution
“The departure signal has been confirmed and authorized.”
"The entire ship's systems are open and operating normally."
"The temperature of the reactor is normal and it is operating well."
"Engine fire."
"Engine ignition successful."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqi slowly pushed the accelerator lever, and the light cruiser slowly sailed toward the space port under the guidance of a series of surrounding light signals.
The feel of operating a battleship is different from that of operating a shuttle, but the operating methods are actually similar.
What surprised Li Chengqi was that the battleship felt more flexible than expected. He thought it was very bulky.
By analogy, the difference between a fighter jet and a bomber is probably not as big as the difference between a fighter jet and a commercial airliner.
Light cruisers are also warships that give priority to mobility. Such ships are usually used as pioneer reconnaissance units or deployed on the periphery of the fleet as air defense ships. Mobility and flexibility are of course a very important indicator.
By the way, before departure, everyone also discussed the name of this battleship, but after excluding such frivolous names as Cosmic Disc, Invincible, and Courageous, as well as the white Trojan proposed by Li Chengqi, Archangel or Ptolemy, etc., the final vote was to name it Swan.
——This is not as good as a white wooden horse!
But one thing is that it does look a bit like a swan on the water preparing to take off, but it is just a black swan.
In a V-shaped arrangement, the fire of the three engines slowly increased, and the ship's hull also gradually accelerated and moved away from the space port.
"Arrived on scheduled route, channel cleared."
"Prepare for pulse flight."
A virtual route appeared on the screen. Li Chengqi aligned the ship's bow with the route, and then called up the ability disk to find the pulse flight option.
"Route confirmed, pulse flight initiated."
The moment he pressed the confirmation button, the starlight on the screen seemed to shift, as if everything had disappeared, leaving only the stars stretched into lines.
About five minutes later, the elongated stars suddenly returned to the normal starry sky, and a huge orange-yellow gas planet appeared in front of us.
This is the sixth planet in the galaxy where the Kingdom of Storms is located, and it was also declared by Villania, who wanted to test the location of the magic mecha in the void.
Of course, the jump cannot be carried out near the space port. According to the predetermined plan, it can also paralyze the nerves of the Storm Kingdom authorities, lest they discover the sudden jump of the Swan and interfere with it.
"The jump route has been sent to you."
Li Chengqi opened the map function and looked at the location sent by Alyssa.
Of course, as soon as Li Chengqi opened the map, he saw the small bright spot that had been marked on the star map from the beginning.
When we first went to Alan Star Chain, it was a smooth journey, but now it feels like we have gone in the opposite direction, going further and further away.
Although Li Chengqi wanted to know what the little bright spot meant, he actually didn't care much. To be honest, he just wanted to fight in space.
Anyway, I have the ability to jump, so I can go there anytime. Let’s help Alyssa regain the starship first.
Then he clicked on the coordinates sent by Alyssa, and the Swan, which shouldn't have started the jump, was suddenly enveloped by a strong wave, and the ship's hull twisted, as if gravity affected the observed scene. The next moment, the Swan completely disappeared from the Storm Kingdom's detection network. It is estimated that this incident should raise the alarm immediately.

The operation of jumping is standard for interstellar travel. The void is too big and empty. Without the jump, even going to the next galaxy would be very difficult.
For example, the unit of distance in astronomy is light-year, which is the distance that light travels in one year. Even if the spacecraft manufactured by humans is infinitely close to the speed of light, it will still be of little use for interstellar travel.
But the jump looks like the picture is distorted and the ship disappears. In fact, it will leave a very obvious jump signal. Psychics like Anyun can read signals to know the jump location, and there are also special instruments that can analyze jump signals.
So you can't escape simply by leaping. People will come after you.
The Swan first jumped to a distance of twenty-two yars, and then followed the route designed by Anyun and made a gravity voyage around a star.
This operation is a bit like wiping the butt, as the star's huge gravity will erase the transition signal.
Then jump, and repeat the above operation, jumping four times, with a total voyage of more than seventy yars. This can ensure that the pursuit of the Kingdom of Storms is completely thrown away.
After completing the above process, the Swan's energy storage pool was basically empty, but the last jump location was near a space station, and the port of the space station was entered by conventional navigation.
Alyssa and Vilania need to get off the ship and go through some procedures first, and this procedure cannot be done in the Kingdom of Storms.
Although the Kingdom of Storms allows individuals to own warships, according to the general constellation law, individuals are not allowed to own starships. It is up to you how to handle your local laws, and you must act in accordance with the convention externally.
The procedure is to put the Swan in the name of the recycler without changing the owner, which is somewhat similar to the relationship between a parent company and a subsidiary.
The advantage is that it is legal to do so, and there are discounts for the recycler's ships entering the space station, such as discounts on berth fees, fuel replenishment and other fuel discounts, etc.
There weren't many people doing this business, so it didn't take much time. Even when filling out the application, the staff looked a little weird.
Because in the member column, Alyssa wrote a ‘6’.
The full complement of a light cruiser is between 200 and 300 people, and the maximum capacity is nearly a thousand people. Although many functions can be automated due to the organic soul, it also requires a large number of people to operate perfectly.
Now An Yun is the navigator, Sophia is the gunnery chief, Fang Lanyin squats in the engine room which is similar to the boiler room, Villania is responsible for coordinating various subsystems of the ship, and Alyssa has to work part-time as the correspondent.
With so few people, it can only be said that the ship can be sailed for the time being. It is still okay now because the ship has undergone a complete overhaul before being handed over to Villania, and almost everything is new.
When time goes by and routine maintenance work is required, it would be too tiring for Fang Lanyin as a mechanic. She can even repair a shuttle for two days, let alone such a large warship with a length of 300 meters.
Normally, in addition to a small amount of management on the bridge, a light cruiser also needs at least thirty gunners, 50 to 100 mechanics, more than 50 hydroponic farm staff, and several medical security personnel. .
Only this configuration can achieve the baseline for long-distance voyages. A battleship with only 6 people is too many, and this number does not include Li Chengqi.
But the staff was just surprised and didn't ask how the six of you drove away a battleship. Whether you die or not is none of my business.
The procedures were completed quickly, and some liquefied magic power reserves were added to the Swan. After that, the two returned to the ship, and the Swan left the port again and headed to the next destination.
Villania still needs one or two commandos, and the Swan is moving in a hurry, without any supplies, and the weapon system is still physically locked.
Just in time, the next destination should be able to solve it.
