Chapter 1127: Breaking Free from Gravity
The hatch of the bridge opened, and Alyssa walked to the captain's seat and sat down. The highest-grade leather products perfectly supported her body.
Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief, she was more comfortable staying on the battleship.
This is probably the occupational disease of the residents of Xinghai. They are always most comfortable on the ship.
"Fuel filling is complete and the valve is being unloaded."
"The personnel have confirmed that everything is correct and cabins have been allocated."
"Every gunner is in position and begins system self-check."
Originally there were too few people on the Swan, less than ten in total. Now counting the soldiers and civilians in the base, plus Cao Wei's soldiers and civilians, the Swan was suddenly filled up a lot. cabin.
Abundant manpower is very beneficial to the long-term operation of a warship. At the very least, the soldiers have received gunnery training and can significantly fill the almost empty anti-aircraft gunners.
There are also some civilians who have professional skills that are beneficial to the ship, such as doctors, nurses, and hydroponic farm managers. Even if they are not good enough, they can help transport ammunition and supplies. Fang Lanyin does not have to be busy in the engine room. Going in circles.
With a beeping sound, the ship's system self-check was completed and it was confirmed that there was no problem.
"The base's optical system found a large number of ion beam traces in orbit. It may be that the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation has already fought against the Red Maple Republic."
"Vilania and Emma sent messages. The device is ready and remains on to record data at any time."
"Radar alert, an assault landing ship has been detected. It should be searching for a deep-diving support ship on the sea forty kilometers away from us."
This habitable planet is a terrestrial planet. The radar waves are affected by the curved surface of the planet. In addition, the radar technology is not very good. It can only detect fifty or sixty kilometers away. If it is close to the sea, it will not be discovered until it is within 40 kilometers.
Now everyone on the bridge was waiting for Alyssa's order. She closed her eyes slightly. She knew that once she set off, there would be no turning back.
We must take advantage of the moment when the fleet of the Red Maple Republic and the fleet of the Spinning Water Federation are participating in the grand event in orbit to break through the atmosphere, otherwise they will be shot down.
Now is the only chance.
No turning back?
Alyssa has done this kind of thing too many times.
Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed.
After a moment, she opened her eyes:
"Flotation engine ignition."
"Roger, ignition of float engines."
"The reactor is working normally, the energy lines are working normally, and the engine ignited successfully."
The bottoms of the four floating engines arranged on the left and right sides of the Swan were glowing slightly, and with the strong airflow, the Swan was slowly floating.
"The engine power has been increased and the condition is normal."
Alyssa took a deep breath:
"Open the base gate and let's go!"
The gate of the base disguised as a mountain slowly opened, and the Swan also slowly passed through the gate. This base would never come again in the future.
"Turn on the absorber."
"Absorber, working fine."
"Thirty degrees left rotation, twenty degrees elevation, one quarter ship speed."
"Understood, departure speed."
The Swan floated to the sea like a balloon. The optical sighting system has discovered several assault landing ships that are turning on searchlights to search the sea about 40 kilometers away.
Now for shelling, although sneak attacks can be carried out, the accuracy is not very good. No matter how fragile the assault landing ship is, it is impossible to eliminate them all in one salvo.
And once attacked, even if the Swan turns on the absorber, it will be discovered by the Red Maple Republic fleet in orbit. It will be troublesome if it is bombed from orbit on the way up.
So Alyssa chose to ignore him and run away first.
"Elevation angle 60."
"Elevation angle 60!"
The Swan continued to tilt its hull, and after reaching the predetermined elevation angle, Anyun reported: "The attitude is normal and the orbit is confirmed."
"Boost rocket, ignite!"
A total of four large booster rockets were fixed to the left and right sides of the Swan with fixing bolts. A solid fuel rocket was also set at the tail where the original engine was.
Following Alyssa's command, the rockets were ignited at the same time.
At this time, even though the Swan turned off all the lights and turned on the absorber to prevent itself from being discovered by the radar, it still couldn't hide.
After all, the intense light of the rocket engine is really like a star rising into the sky. It can be seen from a long distance away.
The sudden super acceleration pressed everyone to their seats, and the violent vibrations made people wonder whether the Swan would fall apart as a result.
Not long ago, it was the first time that the Swan broke into the atmosphere. This time it was also the first time that the Swan broke through the atmosphere.
The royalists have given the Swan the function of attacking a landing ship. Now is the time to test whether their technology is reliable.
"The speed is normal, the trajectory is normal, and the attitude is normal."
"Reaching decision speed!"
This decision speed is just like an airplane taking off and rolling. It cannot stop after reaching a certain speed. Even if there is a problem, it must fly first and then find a way to land.
When the Swan breaks through the atmosphere and reaches decisive speed, it must not turn or make other maneuvers casually, otherwise it will fall apart on the spot for you to see.
The altitude was rising rapidly, and the originally light gray sea surface was now almost invisible, completely melting into the dark night.
As the altitude increased, a beam of light entered the bridge. It was the sunlight from the distant east, shining in at this moment.
"Solid fuel rocket separation!"
At the tail of the Swan, the solid fuel rocket behind the engine went out and separated from the tail with a loud bang.
"Main engine ignition"
"Roger, main engine ignition!"
The thrust of the Swan's main engine is not high in the atmosphere, but as the altitude gradually increases and the air becomes thinner, the thrust will gradually increase.
At the critical moment on the way up, an alarm red light immediately lit up on the bridge:
"An enemy aircraft signal was detected. It is an intra-atmospheric aircraft of the Red Maple Republic."
It should have taken off from a nearby airport and came to intercept the Swan on its way up.
To be honest, this scene is really ace air combat, flying a plane to intercept rising rockets and so on.
But there is really no good solution for the Swan. It cannot use any weapons during its ascent, including anti-aircraft guns.
At this time, Alyssa suddenly saw that the airlock door on the side of the Swan was opened.
"Who opened the airlock door? Is it Li Chengqi again?"
Who else but him...
Having said that, if Li Chengqi drove out in the Manta, it would be impossible to come back. The Swan was rising rapidly and the shuttle could not catch up.
Alyssa immediately clicked on the monitor near the airlock door, and saw the Manta approaching the airlock door. Unlike the usual rush out, it was very careful this time, as if it was worried about falling.
Immediately afterwards, Alyssa noticed that a new backpack was installed on the top of the Manta. She didn't even know when Li Chengqi used the energy of the Swan to make it.
Immediately afterwards, a cylindrical object was launched from the Manta, and then disappeared from sight, and the airlock door closed immediately.
The cylindrical object was instantly left behind by the Swan and flew towards the pursuing intra-atmospheric aircraft.
From the viewfinder of the Swan, countless orange flashes of light could be seen exploding in the sky behind them, almost covering the entire sky.
"The enemy aircraft signal disappeared!"
Missile pod, YYDS.
