Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

When a cigarette burns to the end.

It's as if the time has been determined.

There was a faint roar high in the sky.

——Like the terrifying roar of a jet fighter cruising at supersonic speed, but much duller and bleaker.

"Not a good sign...this weather."

"I hope...it's just my imagination."

Liu Xun looked at the gloomy clouds and the bright light that was getting closer and closer behind the clouds.

He muttered to himself solemnly, and waved his hand to brush away a thin drizzle that seemed to have fallen accidentally.

Put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the trash can.

He straightened his collar, straightened his military cap, and walked out of this wind-sheltered corner.

He merged into the crowd standing in front of the terminal, and looked at Chu Dingguo who was standing at the front with his hands behind his back.

The latter glanced at him flatly, nodded, and said nothing.

Liu Xun also said nothing and stood beside his old boss.

Just the next second.

There seemed to be endless light blooming from behind the heavy clouds.

Followed by.

The clouds break and the sky opens.

A huge alien battleship plummeted from outside the atmosphere.

..

This time, it's not the 'Tianshi Star' last time.

Strictly speaking, the latter is not a real interstellar battleship.

Indeed, its type of ship is called a 'floating battleship'.

This size is comparable to destroyers and even some smaller light cruisers.

but...

how to say.

A ship that does not have true 'deep space navigation capabilities'.

In the endless sea of ​​stars, nothing can be considered a starship in the true sense.

——What’s wrong with the starship? Starships are also ships!

The boat has to go out to sea!

The same goes for pre-interstellar civilizations that have never left their home planet.

If it doesn't have the ability to sail across oceans, it's nothing like a battleship.

At most it can be considered an offshore gunboat.

Just like what China used to say when it was still a Yellow River Navy, it was "unprecedentedly fast".

To put it bluntly, they are all 'boats'.

Torpedo boats, missile boats, submarine hunters...

They are all 'boats', not enough to be called 'ships'.

...Even for a long time, the '037 class, which was nicknamed 'Offshore Iowa and Yellow Water Battleship', had a violent firepower that was totally out of proportion to its mini body and supported China's maritime defense line. 'Submarine hunting, which can be called the ceiling-level player in the ultimate small boat stream, is also not a serious battleship.

Hunting submarines? To put it bluntly, he is still a member of the gunboats.

It can be seen that for battleships, firepower is really not everything.

'Tonnage', 'endurance', 'defense', etc. are still very important.

You can't just say 'a small boat can carry a big cannon', just assign it to a high level and make it a high-level unit.

The same is true for the 'Tiens Star Modified' floating battleship.

No matter how you modify it, it is still an 'army vehicle' in the standard sense.

This means that.

In the empire's order of battle, this guy is not even considered a regular navy.

Even Ma Run is more like a navy than it - what's wrong with the fourth-class people? The fourth-class people are hanging under the buttocks of the first-class people after all!

...Of course, fellow Chinese people don’t quite understand the twists and turns of these alien imperialists.

They just instinctively feel,

The 'alien battleship' we saw this time was very different from the ones we saw a few times before:

——What dropped from the clouds was a huge... ball?

Ok.

Just the ball.

One...

——Theoretically speaking, it should be considered a 'ship'.

But its round body shape really made all the leaders of the Chinese military, political and research circles who came to greet it, including Lao Chu and Xiao Liu, reflexively think of the quantifier "piece".

A giant interstellar battleship with a radius of probably more than a hundred meters, covered with almost mirror-like fully reflective armor, and with a gleaming blue light shining through the hexagonal arc armor grille.

Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly approached the ground.

It seemed light and unforced, as if a feather had fallen to the ground.

In front of the Chinese people, they showed off another magical anti-gravity technology in an understatement.

The round and huge spherical battleship is suspended in the 'special landing field' that was urgently painted at Airport No. 1 this morning and the paint has just dried.

The hexagonal curved armor at the bottom is only separated from the flat and hard concrete floor by a gap that is estimated to be enough to fit a finger.

During that time it seemed like it 'hadn't settled yet'.

The heads and heads who came to greet the 'old friends of the Chinese people' looked at each other.

Some guys who were obviously from the scientific research system started whispering.

"this..."

"The shape is quite unique."

"Uh, so this is the real star battleship of the 'Afterglow Civilization'?"

"It's not quite the same as what I saw last time..."

"The one I saw last time didn't seem to be an interstellar battleship, right?"

"You understand again?"

"That's nonsense, who has no problem stuffing so many land combat equipment into a starship?

Doesn't that make it obvious that it's a troop transport or something like that? "

"...So, what we see now is the orthodox deep space starship design idea?"

Several wine bottles looked at each other silently for a while, exchanging a few words.

They all felt that such a conjecture was very unreliable.

"Is the ball shape the optimal solution? It doesn't look like it to me..."

The bottom of the wine bottle touched the sparse stubble on his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Didn't they say 'the bow of the ship faces the enemy' or 'rectangular layout'?"

Person B in the plaid shirt stroked the flowing hair of the local support center and was also a little puzzled.

"I remember that the materials obtained from the Engineering Academy were of similar types, weren't they?"

"Today's..."

"There is a saying, but it cannot be generalized. Natural science has universal applicability,"

"If I have to mention it, the various ships of the 'Afterglow Civilization' that our brother institutes observed in the solar system some time ago all have a traditional rectangular layout,"

Finally, it was Mediterranean C, who had the most volume, who revealed the secret.

"Is there a possibility... I mean a possibility,

This is originally a relatively special type of ship, similar to our search and rescue ships, hospital ships, etc.

So its shape itself also has some special meaning...

Questions like 'the optimal solution for hull shape and layout'... are we simply overthinking? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence.

A group of big cats and kittens in the scientific research system who had been talking a lot just now suddenly held their breath.

However, there seemed to be a few faint laughter coming from the military personnel not far away.

Then it disappeared very quickly and very suspiciously.

It was as if it had just been an auditory hallucination.

"These guys..."

Chu Dingguo looked at the people behind him speechlessly.

Lieutenant General Liu Xun also looked unbearable:

"Smile, it's okay to smile..."

It's good.

At the very least...it also makes everyone realize that neither of them is really Erbi.

It's just that the blind chicken has just jumped into a corner.

"Ignore them, let the little ones relax a little.

To prevent any of the 250 people from getting too nervous later and making any mistakes..."

Lao Chu snorted and said nothing more.

This small-scale 'welcoming ceremony' was originally just a formality.

It purely falls within the category of 'welcoming and sending'.

The reason why he came.

It's just because this time, the military is part of the joint operation and is the absolute main force on the Chinese side.

As a senior figure in the military who is most suitable to appear, there is no reason to avoid him.

Etiquette and other things should be as complete as possible.

——In fact, compared to Chu Dingguo, who was a general, the Military Commission was the highest military command organization in China.

But in accordance with the principle of 'the party commands the gun'.

Almost all members of the Military Commission are members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.

...In other words, they are all elders.

In this plan, China hopes to reduce political involvement as much as possible.

Allowing frontline personnel to carry out operations more worry-free.

Therefore, Lao Chu, the only non-elder in the Military Commission who was added as a pure military general with a background in the military due to the 'wartime national emergency', personally led this team.

..

This time, it was indeed not a particularly formal occasion.

...At least, in the 'political sense', it is not a particularly formal occasion.

This can be seen from the actions taken by the Chinese side.

Obviously, they intend to characterize it as 'foreign cooperation between military and scientific research forces'.

In other words, this can be considered as a lesson in real 'cross-planetary joint operations' experience.

To this end, many adjustments have been made unanimously.

As many elite soldiers as possible were mobilized to form an action team ready to fight against Yuhui Civilization.

——Times have changed, and there is indeed no need for soldiers to be at the forefront;

Exploring secret realms, even in China, can be left to various remote control devices and intelligent robots.

but,

The experience gained by the 'Elite Soldiers and Generals' from going through the 'No. 1 Secret Realm Exploration Operation' is still valuable.

It must be able to play a lot of roles.

This is also why the military took over the whole situation.
