Chapter 331 New Frigate

Just then, the phone on Yu Yifeng's power armor suddenly rang. He took a look and saw that it was from the Security Department.

He did not dare to neglect it and answered it immediately: "I am Yu Yifeng, what's the problem?"

An anxious female voice came from the other side: "Captain, the first batch of frigates has been built and will soon enter the test flight stage. Minister Xu invites you to come and visit..."

"Oh, there are also some weapons and equipment tests on the Deep Space..." The female staff member briefly explained the matter.

Yu Yifeng's heart moved. Have the third-generation frigates been built? Are the weapons and equipment also being tested today? He had a vague impression that he might have neglected it because he had too many things to do recently.

This is a big deal, I have to go and see it! Yu Yifeng is still as straightforward as ever, and he quickly responded on the phone.

After their group quickly inspected the material warehouse, they did not find anything abnormal, and immediately turned around and walked out.

"Let's go, let's go to the military area to see the new generation of warships! Today we will conduct the first test." He said to several assistants, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that he had recruited several strong young men.

Otherwise, for ordinary people, running around all day and inspecting various locations would paralyze their legs...

Yuriko is still one of his assistants. Although she is smart and capable, she is not suitable for this kind of errand work.

If you really take her out to run around, it would be too inconsiderate of women.

"Ah, really! A new type of frigate? I heard that one of them is a streamlined style that can be fired with an electromagnetic gun! It can enter the atmosphere of the planet at super high speed..."

Xiao Yu beside him shouted excitedly, and it seems that he is a complete military fan.

The other few people also discussed excitedly. Yu Yifeng smiled in his heart. Being young is good, it is energetic!

They took the maglev elevator and returned to the regular gravity area. However, they did not take off the gravity armor, but directly got on a maglev train and drove to the periphery of Noah.

It took about half a quarter of an hour for the group to finally reach the military area of ​​the Deep Space, where four or five hundred staff members were busy.

The Deep Space is equivalent to an aircraft carrier. Smaller spaceships are stored in the Deep Space, and larger ones are mounted around the Deep Space.

Yu Yifeng saw old acquaintances such as Xu Yunjin and Zhao Yao here, and also saw his wife Yuriko, who is the main designer of the new generation of warships.

However, the two just looked at each other from a distance and did not speak.

Not counting the huge Deep Space for the time being, these spaceships are the third generation of human spaceships.

The first generation is the A001 to A003 models developed by Dr. Roman, and then the second generation of spaceships was developed by the Nix people to transport space supplies...

Time flies, and now it is the third generation... The performance is better and more complete.

The third generation of spaceships is mainly used for combat, of course, not just one, but three!

The first type of spaceship, as Xiao Yu said, is called "Yuyan". It is relatively small in size, only more than 20 meters long, and looks as light as a swallow.

It has a pointed front and very short wings. It is a beautiful streamlined aircraft, more beautiful and more generous than the previous two generations.

This beauty is certainly not for looks, but to reduce atmospheric friction!

The "Yuyan" spacecraft can fly at high speed in an atmospheric environment. It is an alternative nuclear-powered aircraft.

If it cannot achieve the miniaturization of nuclear fusion, it is already... the pinnacle of fission energy!

"When flying in the atmosphere, another set of nuclear reactors inside the Yuyan is started to heat the liquid metal around the core. Then the high-speed airflow is brought into contact with the high-temperature liquid metal. As a result, the airflow becomes high-temperature and high-pressure plasma, and then it is guided to the boost electric field of each engine. Finally, the high-temperature plasma is ejected to generate rear thrust." [1]

A staff member stood at the front and explained the specific principles of the engine.

Nuclear-powered aircraft, the black technology of the past Earth era, is now conventional technology.

The "Yuyan" can achieve an acceleration of 3g under the Earth's atmospheric pressure, and the maximum speed can reach 20 times the speed of sound!

In the stratosphere where the air is thin, it can reach 40 times the speed of sound!

In space, relying on its own engine, it can reach a maximum speed of 1.6 thousandths of the speed of light! If it is fired by the mothership's electromagnetic cannon, the initial velocity can reach 1/50 of the speed of light!

The second type of frigate is relatively large, about 300 meters long, and compared with "Yuyan", it is like a small mountain.

It is called... "Leviathan"!

Yu Yifeng walked to the front of a "Leviathan" frigate and looked at it carefully. Part of the hull is made of nanomaterials, and the walls are very thin, only a few millimeters thick.

So the whole spacecraft is not very heavy, and it looks a little empty. But if you touch it with your hand, you can feel its hardness and toughness.

"If our nanotechnology can go further, this spacecraft will be lighter and of better quality. This is also the trend of the future. Lower mass is very helpful in increasing the maneuverability of the spacecraft..." Yuriko came over and whispered.

The length of "Leviathan" is 300 meters, which is already a fully equipped small base.

With sufficient energy, it can also forcibly land on an atmospheric planet with a gravity equivalent to that of the earth and fight in the atmosphere.

It is equipped with more missiles, energy and firepower than "Yuyan", and is even equipped with several heavy laser weapons!

"But this size is still a bit awkward. We can't build the smallest nuclear fusion reactor, and we still can't use nuclear fusion power... unless we achieve the miniaturization of nuclear fusion." Yuriko shook her head.

But Yu Yifeng was very satisfied. The length of more than 300 meters is equivalent to an aircraft carrier on Earth!

This is a space aircraft carrier. How can he not be satisfied with it being designed and manufactured in just one year? The difficulty of driving in the water and flying in the sky is completely two orders of magnitude.

It can even be said that... this kind of spacecraft can be mass-produced for the new human civilization!

In this way, the first test began during the discussion. A "Leviathan" and several "Yuyan" flew out quickly.

Driven by the ion engine, in less than a minute, people could only see a few tiny blue spots, just like the stars in the Milky Way. Although the naked eye can't see clearly, the radar and astronomical observation system of the Deep Space can easily find them.

The figures of all the spacecraft were displayed on the big screen. "Yuyan" was like a real swallow, agile and unrestrained, and "Leviathan" looked much heavier. So the two spacecrafts have their own characteristics.

Not only flight tests, people placed a large number of metal targets on GB131 in advance to test weapon systems.

"Yuyan" is loaded with small nuclear bombs. Humans have made too many of these things, and there is almost no need to test them. They just fired a few blank bombs at random. So "Leviathan" is the main test subject, and the heavy laser loaded in it has a frequency of about three rounds per second.

As long as one shot goes down, the bull's eye as big as a car will explode like fireworks tens of thousands of kilometers away, and directly melt into shiny molten steel.

"This heavy laser weapon can easily penetrate a three-meter thick steel plate! But the energy consumption is relatively large, so the frequency is not high."

"The accuracy is okay..."

The next step is the light laser test. Light lasers are usually used to intercept enemy shells and are a defense mechanism.

The Deep Space spits out a large amount of aerogels at 15 times the speed of sound and flies towards the test spacecraft. Within a range of 1,000 kilometers from the spacecraft, they are automatically identified by the computer and the light lasers begin to spray.

Dark red flames appear in the universe, and many aerogels are intercepted and destroyed by light lasers.

Then, the Deep Space increased the aerogel spray speed.

"15 times the speed of sound, low-frequency attacks can be almost 100% intercepted."

"20 times the speed of sound attack test started."

"30 times the speed of sound test..."

"High-density electronic interference started..."

As the test conditions became more and more stringent, the spacecraft interception system began to be overwhelmed, and the 100% interception rate no longer existed. Yu Yifeng also squinted his eyes and stared at the screen carefully.

"Leviathan" scored higher. Although it was larger in size, it was less likely to be hit because of its more powerful interception system.

In the end, a row of data was listed on the screen.

This test was to find out the defects of the new generation of warships, and it was impossible to be perfect.

From the specific performance, their performance was more than 80% higher than that of the second-generation spacecraft.

This also represents the technological progress of mankind!

It even means... weapons of low-level civilizations are unlikely to threaten human spacecraft!

Many people applauded excitedly and saluted the technicians at the same time.
