The 21st century of gangsters everywhere

Chapter 753 730 Breaking into the Pit
"...Then, next, the Minerva will land on Earth, and everyone in Orb will send each other back home. After the domestic situation in Plant stabilizes, I will make another official state visit with Miss Prime Minister." After confirming Junius 7 After the real earth broke away from the falling orbit and passed by both sides of the earth, only a small amount of debris would fall into the atmosphere, Speaker Durandal said.

Speaker Durandal thinks that a period of alone time is urgently needed to summarize and reflect.

Why is my plan going smoothly, but none of my strategic goals have been achieved?

"So, the speaker returned to Plant on the Voltaire?" Captain Kurades looked back at Speaker Durandal.

After all, apart from the luxurious configuration of a Siberia-class aviation battleship + two Baltic-class aviation cruisers in the Jiuer team, the other two teams are still using an old Nascar-class + a Lorasia-class configuration.

By the way, Captain Kurades seems to be complaining about this point. The cutting-edge ships Siberia-class aviation battleship and Baltic-class aviation cruiser that were finalized and launched at the end of the last war are not the same as ZAFT's battleships back then, right?
There is also the Gondwana-class giant space carrier that has just been launched...

Compared with the Nazca-class and Lorasia-class developed for mobile suits, these three new types of ships seem to be the kind of fleet battleships that have the ability to use mobile suits.

The Siberia-class battleship, with a length of 600 meters, is a large-scale high-speed battleship redesigned with reference to the appearance of the Dogs Kea-class battleship given by Li Ping. 1200mm long-distance beam main gun and four 2500mm "Sword in the Stone" type medium-sized twin-mounted beam secondary guns, CIWS, and a large number of multi-purpose missile launch tubes.The configuration has two hangars, usually with 18 MSs.

The Baltic-class cruiser, with a length of 340 meters, is equipped with two single-mounted 1200mm long-distance beam main guns, four 2500mm "Sword in the Stone" type medium-sized twin-mounted beam cannons, CIWS and a large number of multi-purpose launchers.Usually configure 12 MS.

Gondwana-class, 4000-meter-class monster-class space carrier, the main gun is a full 18 positron cannons configured in special turrets, and the secondary guns have a full 48 "Sword in the Stone" type medium-sized dual-mounted beam secondary guns. The MS carrying capacity has reached an astonishing 300 machines.

The ample space in the ship even allowed this space carrier, which can be called a mobile fortress, to be equipped with double-digit laser fusion reactors, and the energy was so rich that the entire ship was equipped with PS armor.

... No matter how you look at it, how do you feel that the configuration of the Minerva with a triple-mounted live-fire gun and two sword-in-the-stone beam guns is very shabby.

I really want to drive the Athena back...

"Well, after all, just after the snatching incident of Armory One and the whereabouts of Junius 7, the mood of the citizens of Plant is not very stable." Speaker Durandal said gently.

"I see, this ship will definitely send Miss Prime Minister back home safely."

"It's been so hard, Captain Kurades."

"Genac, prepare the transport boat and transfer the speaker to the Voltaire."

----

"Start the atmospheric entry procedure, store the main wing, and release the insulation gel on the bottom of the ship." 23 minutes after the speaker left, the Minerva reached the height of the atmospheric entry.Captain Kurades began to execute the atmospheric entry procedure according to the relevant manual.

"All departments, hurry up and fix the materials in the ship. Non-emergency operators, please go to the designated fixed seats and prepare for the impact." Deputy Chief Arthur is also implementing standard orders according to this manual.

"In the second stage, the bow of the ship is raised by 40 degrees. All departments, hurry up and conduct the final inspection." Helmsman Malik is also operating the hull according to standard procedures.

"In the third stage, the atmosphere breaks in, the speed is Mach 21, and atmospheric braking begins." After that, Deputy Chief Arthur continued to broadcast the hull data according to the procedure.

"The temperature on the bottom of the ship is rising, the temperature is 3000 degrees Celsius and rising."

"In the fourth stage, the hull of the ship is wrapped in plasma, black barriers appear, all external communication is cut off, and internal communication is disturbed." Arthur tightly grasped the armrest of the seat, enduring the overload caused by entering the atmosphere, and at the same time I am dutifully broadcasting. "Navigation switched to inertial navigation."

-- about 3 minutes later --

"The speed is reduced to Mach 4, the temperature of the bottom of the ship is normal, and the heat-resistant condensation is peeled off."

"Pneumatic control possible."

"The main wings unfold."

"It's different from the control in the universe, don't panic after unfolding the main wings." Captain Kurades still warned.

"Yes!" However, the sudden increase in wind resistance after the main wings were deployed and the countless vortices generated when the main wings were deployed made the flight attitude of the Minerva instantly unstable. The helmsman firmly grasped the steering wheel with his right hand to control the flight Attitude, the left hand is rapidly operating on the control panel of the attitude control engine, using the attitude control engine to forcibly fix the flight attitude of the Minerva.

"The speed of Mach 1.2 is still decelerating, and the engine switches to the atmospheric propulsion mode." The helmsman did not switch the flight control mode until the Minerva's flight attitude was natural and stable, using the aerodynamic control surfaces on the wings and tail on the hull to control the aircraft. Control of flight attitude.

"The brake injection starts, slow down to the water landing speed. Prepare to land on the water surface for hull inspection." Captain Kurades breathed a sigh of relief.

"Slow down to 180 knots and get ready for water."

...wait, 180 knots landing?Who wrote the manual?With a twitch in the corner of Li Ping's eyes, he silently grasped the armrest of the seat.Hold your body with a little force.

"??" Seeing Li Ping's movements, Aslan turned around and fastened the seat belt on Cagalli who hadn't noticed.

On the other side, Mayo, who was watching Li Ping's movements, had already fastened her seat belt and tightly grasped the armrest of the seat.

When the Minerva continued to descend to a height of 15 meters from the sea surface, the descent speed of the Minerva dropped sharply, and the hull even suddenly rose a lot.

"Woo..." Others who were not prepared in advance were shaken by the sudden impact, and the momentary overload made everyone groan.

"Malik?" Captain Kurades frowned and asked the helmsman.

"The speed is still too fast, and the ground effect exceeds the simulated value."

"Correct immediately and continue to slow down."

"Understood, enter the value, slow down to 60 knots, and continue the water landing procedure."

In the end, at a speed of less than 50 knots, the stern of the Minerva hit the water, and the sudden increase, the lift generated by the high-speed paddling lifted the stern of the Minerva again. Quickly suppressed the tendency of the hull to turn forward and take the big roof, and at the same time kept both hands steady, increased the power of the reverse jet while stabilizing the course, and quickly decelerated the Minerva to a speed of about 25 knots. hit the water.

"...I want to kill the bastard who wrote the water program and the atmosphere control program." The helmsman Malik only felt that he was a little out of strength, and that there was a problem in one link, which was simply a pit in every link.If it were an ordinary person, the Minerva should be rolling and landing now.

"...I think so too." Captain Kurades gritted his teeth. "Arthur, start damage control."

"Yes, Captain. The damage control team is starting to repair the damaged part of the stern. Ganaku is preparing the water work boat and starting the visual inspection of the bottom of the ship." Deputy Captain Arthur left his seat, picked it up and dropped it Go to the hat in front of the bridge, while using the headset to give instructions to the relevant departments.

"It seems that the refurbishment will take some time. Let's go to the deck to get some fresh air first, and pay attention to arrange the rotation." Captain Kurades sighed again. He said that he has sighed a lot since he set sail.
