Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 294 Executive Officer's Task

The sapphire-like spot on the star ring that was dyed like a sapphire by the blue tail flame of the plasma engine flew past rapidly. As the speed of the battleship increased, the acceleration process gradually stabilized. Although the invisible force holding the crew members down on the backs of their chairs still existed,

But the scalp-numbing vibrations and the sound of parts colliding are gone.

The crew members all stared at the ballistic simulation diagram displayed in the corner of the screen in front of them with bated breath.

"After one minute of contact with the target, the electromagnetic gun has been charged. Do you want to fire the second shell?" Weapons Officer Fernando asked.

Lu Yuanzhou stared at the star ring flying past him in front of him, and scanned the ballistic simulation diagram on the monitor with his peripheral vision.

"Wait a minute and see the impact of this shell! Is there anything abnormal about the target?"

"Radar and visible light bands are still invisible. But the intensity of radio signals and x-ray radiation sources has not changed." Ono Sachiko replied.

Hank, who was sitting in the passenger seat, held on to the armrest tightly, stared at the screen, and murmured through gritted teeth:

"With such a high kinetic energy of a projectile, even if it is a piece of titanium alloy, it can still create a crater!"

"If their material composition is the same as the 'darts' we found in the atmosphere of Venus, which are alloy silicon, then we can easily blast them into a pile of glass slag and then go home." Machinist Brooke said excitedly.

"10 seconds countdown, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" As weapons officer Fernando completed the countdown, a bright light flashed out of the porthole. Lu Yuanzhou and Hank looked up at the same time to look at the deep space behind Saturn.

The strong light has passed, but you can still see a faint halo in the distant deep sky.

"Hit!" Hank shouted excitedly.

Before his high emotions could be conveyed, weapons officer Fernando shouted in horror:

"The shell is still flying! But it's turning!"

The crew members immediately turned to look at the ballistic simulation diagram. After passing through the target position, the originally straight ballistic trajectory turned into a broken line with a small angle.

"What's going on! Did the shell bounce off? Or did it ricochet?" Hank asked, tearing his throat.

Fernando looked panicked, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"No, judging from the data, the speed of the cannonball has not attenuated, but has accelerated slightly. It looks like it has been deflected by a magnetic field!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the lights in the battleship were instantly extinguished, the noisy sound of electricity stopped abruptly, and even the air circulation fan stopped moving. For a short period of time, everyone could even hear each other's panicked breathing, and a wave of electrons

The smell of burning equipment slowly dissipated.

"Oops! It's an electromagnetic pulse!" Communications Officer Laura shouted.

Lu Yuanzhou quickly buckled the folding helmet that had been hanging on the back of his neck and shouted:

"Everyone, seal the spacesuits immediately and check whether there is a loss of cabin pressure! Everyone take out the light sticks under the seats."

Soon, a faint green light illuminated the command module again. Lu Yuanzhou calmly issued the order:

"Brooke went to check the reactor and plasma thruster. Laura and Sachiko went to the server room to check. If the main control computer cannot be restarted, start the backup transistor computer.

Eunice, don't move, continue to calculate our position by calculating the inertial navigation by hand. Fernando, you go check the weapon system. Wang Xiaoge, you go to the bottom cabin to check the shuttle and nuclear missiles. Hank, you go activate the backup power supply and the compressed air bottle.

.”

After receiving the order, the crew members quickly rushed to their posts.

"Eunice, can you confirm our current position and track?" Lu Yuanzhou turned to look at the navigator who was writing under the dim light of the fluorescent stick.

After Younis wrote quickly on the paper in front of him for a while, he rubbed his sore fingers:

"I recorded the track coordinates and speed before the power outage. We are now flying towards the target area, and we will pass through the airspace near the target in a few hours."

At this moment, the emergency lighting of the command module was activated, and the light was much darker than usual. The colorful buttons on the console also lit up one by one, but the large LCD display still remained silent. "Buzzing" sounded from the air outlet.

"With the sound of airflow, Hank returned to the command module:

"The backup power supply and compressed gas bottles have been activated, but they can only maintain the lighting and ventilation of the command module. The other cabins will soon become colder than the Antarctic."

Laura and Sachiko Ono floated back to the command cabin. Both of them were coughing and looked like they had been exposed to thick smoke.

"The chip of the main control computer is completely burned out, and the server compartment is full of smoke. The transistor computer is starting up. After completing the self-test program, it should be possible to control the attitude of the battleship."

Mechanic Brooke and weapons officer Fernando also returned to the command cabin. Brooke said first:

"The good news is that the intensity of the electromagnetic pulse received is not too great, and the entire ship's wiring is basically intact. The reactor has also automatically shut down in an emergency, and there will be no core meltdown. However, the main control computer chips of the reactor and ion thruster are all destroyed.

I can't fix them here."

"There should be no problem with the electromagnetic gun hardware, but the main control computer is also burned out. We can't control it. The close-in defense gun can only be operated manually." As soon as Fernando finished speaking, he noticed four red lights flashing on the console.

.

He was stunned for a moment, then patted the small lights. After repeatedly confirming the position and function of those lights, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Yuanzhou:

"This is the nuclear warhead indicator light in the bottom cabin. The four nuclear warheads we have loaded have entered the standby state!"

Just when everyone was surprised, Wang Xiaoge floated up from the hatch:

"I activated the timing fuse of the nuclear warhead." His tone was unusually calm.

"Damn, why are you doing this! Fernando, go turn off that countdown!" first mate Hank roared.

Wang Xiaoge returned to his position and stood upright with no expression on his face. Weapon Officer Fernando scratched his scalp with a blank look on his face:

"Countdown fuse? I don't know what kind of countdown fuse a nuclear warhead has."

"Of course you don't know that there is such a function, let alone stop it. I have calculated the speed and trajectory, and the nuclear bomb is set to explode when the battleship passes through the target area. I must ensure that the 'Firefly' can be completed to the maximum extent

Mission." Wang Xiaoge's tone of voice was still calm and indifferent.

When he said "complete the task to the maximum extent", everyone was surprised. Because during their five-year selection and training process, they had been exposed to this concept many times. There is a basic requirement for every trainee.

, that is, during the execution of the task, if you face extreme difficulties, you must give priority to ensuring that the task is completed to the maximum extent.

At the end of the training, this concept was gradually weakened. People who participated in the training did not pay attention to it, thinking that completing the task to the maximum extent was more about cultivating willpower and discipline. But they never expected that in the formation of the battleship,

There actually is such a position.

"The high-energy projectiles we launched can all be deflected by the enemy, and now the spacecraft has lost most of its functions. If the warship rushes past like this, it will be impossible to reach the predetermined area. Even if it does, it will not matter whether the nuclear bomb can cause substantial damage to it.

That's a problem. What's the point of doing this?" Hank asked angrily.

It was difficult to see Wang Xiaoge's expression clearly under the dim light, but his tone of voice was as calm as a robot:

"While resupplying in Jupiter's L4 orbit, the 'letter' I received was the latest observation news from NASA. The spore-producing oocysts on Titan have begun to revive again, which is extremely unfavorable news for the earth's defense.

We must destroy the alien civilization's command post on the far side of Saturn.

I have experienced systematic training in astronomy, physics and strategy at MIT, NASA and CIA. My duty is to ensure that the "Firefly" completes its mission to the maximum extent when the warship cannot complete its mission normally. Now I have determined that our

The mission is about to fail. Also, Mr. Hank, do you have a better way?"
