Chapter 103: Cruiser Discontinued, Heading to the New World
After experiencing two or three different timelines, many uses for the teleportation device were discovered.
At the same time, in the process of analyzing the spacetime coordinates, the rules within them were also understood.
Generally speaking, the higher the civilization level of the location at the locked spacetime coordinates, the longer it will take to resolve.
The previous Elysium was a Level 1.5 civilization, and it took a month to analyze. But the spacetime we've just discovered takes a whole year to analyze.
Judging from this timeline, the spacetime level of the opposing civilization is estimated to be at least level 2.
If you acquire the technology of a complete Level 2 civilization, you can at least make your current technology tree more advanced.
However, a civilization that is likely at level 2 must be quite powerful, so the size of the fleet for this time travel mission cannot be small.
"Ethan, since we still have a year, let's hurry up and prepare the supplies and team for this trip."
"Yes, Commander."
After receiving Fang Heng's order, Ethan also hurried to make preparations.
A year passed quickly. On this day, Fang Heng received a message from Ethan saying that the coordinate analysis was completed and some information about the location of the spacetime coordinates had been obtained.
Upon hearing the news, Fang Heng immediately rushed to the scene.
"Ethan, how's the situation?"
"Commander, the coordinates have been analyzed. Based on the information obtained so far, the enemy civilization has entered the interstellar age. It is still a human civilization, but strangely, their warp drive technology is not advanced, yet they can travel to very far places to fight the enemy. The enemy of this human civilization is a kind of Zerg, which is very similar to our Zerg swarm."
"Oh? This sounds familiar. It feels like something from a movie or TV show."
"Commander, this is all the information we have at the moment. We don't know anything about the enemy's warship strength, so I suggest that the fleet be larger. Also, I suggest that we avoid crossing through the Chiwu star system."
"I understand what you mean. Let's do it this way. Choose a location 100 light-years away for the traversal. We'll have a year to wait, and the first cruiser should be ready for deployment, right?"
"Yes, we can wait another year, and the first low-star cruiser will be ready for production. After testing, it can be requisitioned urgently."
"Okay, let's go with this. A single combat aircraft carrier plus destroyers and frigates is not enough to impress a Level 2 civilization."
"Yes, Commander."
Time passed slowly, and half a year quickly went by.
That day, Fang Heng arrived at the interstellar dock on Mars and saw the enormous vessel inside.
"Ethan, is this cruiser finished?"
"Yes, Commander. All modules have been completed and are ready to be activated at any time."
"Good. Six months should be enough time for various tests. The practical testing can be done in the new timeline. When do you plan to start the testing?"
"The plan is to be completed in a week. The crew currently operating the warship is undergoing final training and will be in place in a week."
"That's good. Once it's ready for combat and testing is complete without any problems, we should arrange production as soon as possible. Cruisers are the main warships, so we definitely need a lot of them. In addition, we need to keep up with the training of personnel to reduce the situation where there are only warships waiting for people."
"Yes."
After giving his instructions, Fang Heng also checked the relevant data of the warship in front of him.
[Dwarf Planetary Cruiser (General Purpose)]
Length: 312 meters
Width: 103 meters
Height: 42 meters
Standard passenger capacity: 1100 people
[Standard maximum propulsion speed: 880000/hour]
[Weapon Systems: Starry Sky Type III Close-In Defense Missile Launcher *8, Star Sword Type II Heavy Laser Cannon *2, Antimatter Cannon *1 (Main Cannon), 105mm Rapid-Fire Electromagnetic Naval Cannon *4, Large Attack Drone *3]
[Defense System: Star Shield Type III Electromagnetic Shield, Starlight Type I Energy Shield, 16 x 76mm Close-In Electromagnetic Cannons, 550mm Reactive Armor, covering critical areas]
[Propulsion System: 9 third-generation solid fuel boosters (main propulsion), 8 vertical takeoff and landing thrusters, 1 warp drive]
[Energy Core: Antimatter Core *2]
[Special Device: Secondary Transmission Device]
Compared to smaller planetary destroyers, besides having a larger hull, more weapons, and a more powerful defense system, the most significant changes are the energy core and the antimatter cannon.
Through research on antimatter, an antimatter cannon was successfully developed.
It's called an antimatter cannon, but it's actually an energy weapon. It just uses various devices to concentrate all the energy generated by the antimatter reaction into one point and then fire it out.
However, this weapon is far more powerful than traditional laser cannons.
That's why it was used as the main gun; even battleships couldn't withstand a single antimatter shot from an enemy warship.
Because this energy attack contains the annihilation properties of antimatter, it has a very strong penetrating damage effect on solids.
At the same time, a new device has been added to the defense system: an energy shield.
This shield can defend against energy weapons and does not consume much of its own energy.
Its unique energy structure provides excellent defense.
After reviewing the warship's parameters, Fang Heng left satisfied.
Next, he needed to make some preparations. Although it is often said that a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, with so many warships protecting him, Fang Heng was also eager to see the new world.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and soon the day for the gathering and teleportation arrived.
That day, Fang Heng didn't sleep in. He got up early, went to the assembly point, and entered the Punishment Ship.
"Commander has arrived!"
As soon as the announcement sounded, everyone on the bridge immediately stood up and saluted.
"Alright, everyone, please sit down. Ethan, bring me the fleet's data so I can take a look."
"yes!"
Soon, Ethan handed over the fleet data from this trip to Fang Heng.
After reading it carefully, he nodded in approval.
"Excellent, you're well prepared. Let's set off then."
"Yes, Commander."
Soon, at Ethan's command, the entire fleet began to accelerate and head towards the designated location.
The teleportation location was chosen within a 100-light-year radius, a cosmic region situated between star systems. Teleporting from this location would eliminate any worry about encountering a suddenly appearing local fleet.
Sitting in the captain's chair, Fang Heng looked out at the outer space through the porthole, lost in thought.
This time travel is considered the largest fleet time travel in history.
Besides the aircraft carrier USS Retribution and the cruiser USS Hunter, there are 20 destroyers and 50 frigates remaining.
Ships.
Actually, more warships could be prepared, but in the current timelines, warships need to be stationed, and sometimes these warships need to work together to resist enemy invasions in a certain timeline. Therefore, many warships have been brought down to protect the safety of this place.
The secondary transmission device can also be used independently for transmission.
However, without the teleportation device on the Punishment, these warships can only travel through time and space on their own, and cannot initiate group teleportation as they could with the Punishment.
Therefore, this is all the warships we brought with us on this exploration of the new world.
In addition to combat ships, there is also an engineering fleet.
Ten engineering spacecraft have been prepared for this mission, all of which are large engineering spacecraft.
These were specifically prepared for establishing a base. They chose to teleport in an area 100 light-years away in order to avoid the human civilization on the other side of spacetime.
The fact that they have become a Level 2 civilization means that the humans there have become a unified whole. If a war were to break out, it would definitely be a fight to the death, which would only benefit the Zerg.
On the other hand, if traces of human activity can be found in such a remote location, then the true level of civilization of this human civilization needs to be reassessed.
As the fleet entered warp drive mode, the countdown to crossing began.
A year later, near an unfamiliar star system, a flash of light appeared, and a relatively large fleet suddenly appeared.
"Commander, we have arrived at our destination and are ready to begin the teleportation."
"Very well, let's begin. Command the fleet, activate the secondary teleportation device, and prepare for mass teleportation."
"yes!"
At this moment, Fang Heng was also somewhat excited.
Soon, everyone was ready, and all the warships were ready to be deployed at any time.
"Teleportation device activated. Secondary teleportation device energy circuit open. Energy connection stable. Quantum superposition state activated. Coordinates locked. Teleportation initiating!"
"Buzz!"
Intense spatial fluctuations occurred here, and the next moment, all the warships present disappeared, and the once bustling star field returned to normal.
In the Starship Troopers universe, at Case Outpost, a battleship slowly docks at the outpost.
Meanwhile, a shuttle carrying a Marine squad also headed to Outpost B dock.
"Team A, our mission is to land at Outpost B in the dock area, eliminate all the Zerg, and rescue the survivors."
Once landed, combine fire with K12 squad on the ground to eliminate all the Zerg. After mission complete, board the ship, take off, and then blow up the outpost and the Zerg. Understand?
"Understood, sir."
After explaining the mission requirements, the shuttle arrived at Dock B.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Dozens of Marines moved very quickly, disembarking from the shuttle and setting up a defensive line on the spot.
"Fire! Fire!"
"Da da da!"
The gunfire blazed, and the defensive line formed a dense jet of metal that instantly shattered the charging Zerg.
The battle ended quickly, and after clearing out the Zerg guards, they soon discovered the defending Marine squad.
"Report the situation, soldier."
"Sir, the situation is bad; several of our men are trapped over there."
"Understood. Everyone, assemble immediately and rescue them."
"Yes, sir."
