Him and their stars

This is the twelfth time in more than two weeks that Claire Belmont has listened to this guy's chatter. It's nothing more than talking about how difficult it is for you, how hard it is, how much pressure you bear, how much pressure you put on yourself for the alliance, and so on.

He always felt that Yu Lian was getting an advantage and being good, but he really couldn't find any evidence, so he looked at the other party with eyes full of gratitude, held the other party's hands firmly, and then squeezed out a business smile: "Yes, so this is worthy of being an unbreakable blood alliance of our alliance! That's why all the great commanders in the past have always said that the community is the cornerstone of the stability of the universe, and maintaining good-neighborly and friendly relations with the community is the unwavering national policy of our alliance. "

"What a waste of half a minute to listen to you!" Yu Lian glanced at the other party: "This time is enough for me to play a game of "Gaboa OL" Arena. My enemy won last time I made a move and it has been in my private messages for two months, but I didn’t even have time to find my way back.”

"That's why I said... If you want, I can ask Huanyu to send the Heavenly Arms in the form of a gift package. Your enemy can always find a way to ban his account."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this authority dog ​​is really hard on people's fists!" Yu Lian felt that there was another reason to hang Brother Krel on the street lamp.

"Let me tell you, within my authority, all the discounts that can be obtained have been given, and all the discounts that should not be given have been given. Moreover, this arms sale is not without noise in our country, and it is profitable. It can't reach my hands. You can't hold on to a sheep." Krel said helplessly: "At most, during the test exercise, our Nephi-class will lose. Such a big shot of the earth people. Once you are happy, the pressure here will be lighter."

Tsk tsk tsk, in the final analysis it is still the way of thinking of a permission dog!

To be honest, Yu Lian is not very interested in the concept of a phased array-controlled engine group. Facts have proved that this technology is indeed a trend, and it was indeed equipped on the capital ships of various countries fifty years later. However, although the overall combat effectiveness of the battleships cannot be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, it can only be said to be better than nothing.

What Yu Lian really cares about is the relatively complete neutrino pulse propulsion technology used by the Cloud Giant Engine. Compared with ion pulse propulsion, which has been the mainstream before, at least in terms of energy, this is already an epoch-making progress.

However, in his memory, although the Alliance's research and development of neutrino energy was considered the forefront of the galaxy, the real breakthrough should have been around 840.

Could it be said that it is my butterfly effect again?

...This is actually very reasonable. The Alliance is trying to find ways to research the principle of strong interaction of the Colossus weapon that destroys stars. What if the technology tree next door is accidentally highlighted?

In short, the Cloud Giant is the first neutrino pulse engine. It is installed directly on the battleship. Its stability and safety may be questionable. This is why the Alliance does not dare to put it into production immediately, but installs it first on the community's guinea pigs. Let’s look at the reason for the effect.

But in Yu Lian's view, the so-called safety and stability can be solved with local methods. In contrast, the ship's endurance and absolute speed have been greatly improved. Because energy is used more efficiently, more shields and weapons can be installed. The improvement of combat effectiveness is developed by the overall hexagon. And why not?

More importantly, when it comes to the application of neutrino pulses, it may be the last step away from the legendary application of dark matter energy.

Well, in fact, Xiao Hui should be informed about this kind of thing, but that girl would probably still talk about "prohibited matters", right?

Speaking of which, the robot girl said she was going to travel freely in the universe and observe the development of civilization in this era, but she didn't know where she went?

Yu Lian was thinking like this while waiting until the test of the Cloud Giant engine group was completed.

From beginning to end, there were no flaws in the progress of the test. It was indeed a very smooth equipment test.

Yu Lian even saw the staff in the operation room jumping up, cheering, high-fiving, singing and dancing, as if they were a group of athletes who had won the championship.

Krell couldn't hide his joy and let out a sigh of relief: "Look, I didn't trick you, did I? The concept of phased array engine must be epoch-making. Brother Yu Lian, although you look disgusted, you are actually already Are you excited? It must be like this, right?"

Yes, although it is epoch-making, the direction is different from what you said. Yu Lian glanced at the other party and smiled without saying a word.

"Anyway, I'm full of confidence in its future." He glanced at Yu Lian again and said seriously: "If it can cooperate with that kind of light wing component, it would be perfect. It's a pity that at present, Yun There is still a long way to go before the miniaturization of giant engines, and light wings can only be used on small ships."

"Light Wings? Haha, you are actually interested in this thing?" Yu Lian looked at the other party deeply.

He was not surprised that the other party knew about the existence of Light Wing. After all, Brother Krell was once a model worker at Tulon Machinery Factory and received a labor medal, and the main components of the light-wing ships being built in New China were built in that new factory.

Krell showed an unexpected expression: "Hey, you don't know? In the preliminary round of the Galaxy Racing Competition, your New Shenzhou No. 1 made a big splash!"

"The racing competition has started? Isn't it next month?"

"Next month is the finals, and this month is the preliminary and semi-finals." Krell laughed: "Every shipyard with some wealth in the universe has its own rowing team, and they all hope to promote themselves in this competition, but The vast majority of rowing teams could not even pass the preliminaries. However, your team and the New Shenzhou 1 set the fastest track record of this century in the first competition. For real shipbuilding For engineers, this is also the time!”

Yu Lian had to admit that he had spent the past three weeks in the shipyard and had indeed completely forgotten about Liuli taking the Shenzhou 1 to participate in the racing competition. Even when the rowing team arrived in Turanka, he We were also busy in the shipyard, so we just communicated and told each other that we were okay.

As for the schedule and date of this Galaxy Racing Competition, we still don’t know much about it. We only know that the finals of the rowing group will be from the 14th to the 20th of next month. In other words, in his heart of hearts, he did not believe that New China No. 1 would be eliminated before the finals.

Even so, Yu Lian suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

However, I don’t know why, but I always feel that friends from all walks of life have done many great things without knowing it!

My friends are so reliable. Doesn’t this mean I can lie down?

Yu Lian suddenly felt happy. However, out of politeness, he felt that he should still call Liuli to give her blessing.

Once every three years, 336 galactic racing competitions have been held, and it can be regarded as one of the grandest festivals in the sports and shipbuilding industries in the entire galaxy.

Unlike pure sports like the World Cup, or simulated wars like the God of War Festival, racing competitions challenge the limits of speed and maneuverability. It not only tests the driver's extreme reaction, operating skills and willpower, but also tests the technology and construction level of the major shipyards behind the rowing team.

We all know that shipbuilding is the culmination of industry and technology in the Age of Discovery. Therefore, after the general background of sports, it was also given the significance of the struggle between enterprises and national power.

Generally speaking, the competition events of racing competitions are mainly flying group, gliding group and rowing group.

The participants in the flight team are small single-seat or two-seat aircraft that are not equipped with jump engines and need to rely on the mothership. In the universe, apart from military and sports use, this kind of aircraft actually doesn't have much development prospects. Not many followers.

Then, there is the gliding group. It refers to the racing activity of equipping a single person with power armor and using a hang glider in space. To be honest, the instant acceleration of the hang glider is impressive, but its endurance is hard to describe. However, people who can’t stand it like watching the scene of a humanoid wearing power armor and sprinting through space!

In a sense, this is even more exciting than playing heavenly ball, and of course it attracts more fans. As a result, the top athletes who fly space gliders also have the highest income among all commercial competitive sports in the galaxy.

However, all of the above are nothing compared to the real pillar of the racing competition, the space rowing event. The so-called space racing boats usually refer to small ships with jump capabilities. Most of this type of ships are private cruise ships, postal ships, interstellar express delivery and local police patrol boats, which can be said to be closely related to everyone's lives.

Generally speaking, most shipyards are indeed more willing to test various new technologies on ships of this size to challenge the speed limit of man-made vehicles.

As we all know, the real time-consuming part of space travel is not the jump between galaxies, but the regular voyage between various gravity wells within the galaxy. Whoever saves more time and effort in this process will, in a sense, control the future of the space shipping industry.

People with a discerning eye need to find business opportunities and the future of the industry in the prosperous but extremely involved space shipping industry.

And those famous shipyards at the top of the pyramid must prove to the world in advance that they have always mastered the leading technology in this industry, so that they can have a stable position. Only in this way can we explain to the board of directors and shareholders.

In this way, the racing competition is of course the best display platform.

In short, the preliminaries of the rowing group of the 237th Galaxy Air Race held in the Greenland Galaxy in the Alliance's Central Star Region have come to an end on January 20th.

There is a trial before the preliminaries, and there is a semi-final after that, just to exclude the small fleets that make up the numbers out of everyone's sight.

If it weren't for the new Shenzhou 1 from the RN Red Star rowing team, operated by Jean Cook, which broke the orbit record that had been dusty for nearly 100 years, not many people would pay attention to this round of events.

The predecessor of RN Red Star Fleet, RN Fleet, has been established for more than 20 years, but it has never achieved any good results and can only be regarded as a third-rate grassroots fleet. Jean Cook, the pilot of New Shenzhou 1, is not even a professional rower. He used to run interstellar express in his hometown.

What could be more dramatic than news like this?

In this way, the RN Red Star fleet became popular, New Shenzhou 1 became popular, and little brother Jean Cook, who was a promising courier three months ago, also became popular.

Of course, in the eyes of most spectators and betting dogs, whether it is the boat or the driver, in the final analysis, it is just another grassroots counterattack of Sea Biscuit, nothing more than an excellent conversation piece after dinner.

However, for some people, this may represent a certain degree of future.

So, when Yu Lian sent belated blessings to Liuli, the other party said this: "There are indeed people who have shown great interest in Light Wings, including representatives from several major shipyards in the alliance, as well as Mazavi, There are business representatives from several countries such as Ledola and Cherk. However, the most sincere among them is Mr. Egger Noshukote, the executive director of Thor Industries."

"Oh, I've met him, and we even left each other business cards."

"I also found someone to get to know him a little bit. Although the director of Noshukote is young, he is a very enterprising man. He is very popular within the company, and they say he will be the next chairman of Thor. "

This is such an old-fashioned thing to say. But don’t forget, Director Noshukote was over forty even when he was young. Are you, Miss Takaji Ruri, twenty-five this year?

...But then again, the Red Star Institute she currently manages includes Red Maple Factory, Tulong Machinery Factory, Falkong Aircraft Company, and has a stake in RN Shipyard. It seems to be a bit like a military-industrial complex. .

But he is really qualified to talk to the top management of Thor Industries on an equal footing.

"Thor Industries wants to buy the patent for light wings?"

"Yes. But Lian Jun also said that the patent is not for sale. So he proposed to purchase a production license, or to jointly set up a factory with us in the alliance. The conditions given... To be honest, Lian Jun, I am I’m really tempted. Mr. Noshukote is indeed a very courageous person!”

"Then let's wait until after the finals." Yu Lian said with a smile: "There will definitely be more people coming over to show their courage."

Liuli nodded in agreement. She didn't expect to get any fancy rankings.

After all, the RN rowing team has participated in racing competitions for so many years and has always been a supporting player. This time, the rest of the participating boats in the team were completely wiped out in the preliminary competition. In the subsequent competition, there was not even a wingman who could cooperate with the New Shenzhou 1.

But no matter what, she still has the confidence to reach the finals. At that time, the advertising effect will naturally be there.

"However, it's quite ironic when you think about it. When Lian Jun was fighting in the New World, the White Devil fighter aircraft had clearly made so many military exploits, but the alliance heard that we had no idea of ​​selling the patent, so they gave up. But. Unexpectedly, after one preliminary round, the number of people seeking cooperation would be ten times more than before.”

Yu Lian smiled and said: "Because the achievements of the light-wing fighter are not conspicuous in the vast New World war situation, only a very few people who are well-informed and have strategic insight can see it. However, the rowing conference is not It is a sports event with extremely high commercial value across the galaxy, and its influence will naturally be much greater than war."

There is no way, what can make everyone pay attention is not the world war, but the entertainment industry. This is why Yu Lian asked them to register for the competition early.

"But Lian Jun, do we really want to take action on the Light Wing? I always thought this was our secret weapon." She frowned again.

"Because the advantage of the light wing lies only in Brother Eisen's genius engineering design, rather than in the decisive achievements in materials science, energy theory, or even basic physics. In three to five years at most, someone will definitely start to imitate it."
