Survival on the Star Sea: Starting from a small broken ship and becoming stronger

Chapter 111 It’s too difficult for me~ [4000-word chapter]

"Would you like to bind the captain's authority?"

Hearing this, Zhao Feng was slightly startled, and then immediately spoke:

"Bind."

‘That’s amazing. Can you actually reset the system of the spacecraft? Superimposed strengthening device YYDS! ’

Walking into the battleship, you can see that the internal structure of the entire [Kite] has changed drastically.

It is completely different from the ride experience in [Exploration City].

The previous shuttle gave him the impression of an ordinary passenger plane.

Not to mention the side door opening, it also needs the assistance of the boarding ladder, and there is no beeping of the spacecraft at all.

It's completely different after upgrading to Lv.6.

First of all, vertical takeoff and landing is standard. Secondly, you must enter from behind when boarding. Is there a boarding ladder? disappear as far as you can.

This is only external.

After entering the cabin, what comes into view is the oversized cabin environment.

Looking at the warehouse, which was enough to hold three basketball courts, Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

‘Hey guys, this tail space alone can accommodate two Level 1 kites, right? ’

(Tip: Hangars are mostly used to park fighter wings, such as interceptors, bombers, fighters, etc.)

(Two hangars generally represent a fighter wing that can accommodate 2 teams, that is, 4-12 fighters)

Looking at the plug-in prompt, Zhao Feng raised his eyebrows and asked in his mind:

‘Then where do we get the fighter wing from? ’

(Purchase, or develop independently.)

‘. . . ’

Buy? He also wanted to buy it, but where to go?

Depth Level 1 trading area?

That will have to wait until next month. Right now, the [Cross-Border Key] is still charging and there is no way to go.

While thinking about how to bring out the full strength of the battleship, Zhao Feng walked forward.

In addition to the huge mixed hangar and cargo area that occupies the back half, the upgraded [Kite] also has its own living and rest area.

Of course, it's not a common employee dormitory. The so-called rest area is more like a honeycomb hotel commonly seen near airports.

More than 60 honeycomb-style sleeping cabins occupy a very small area.

The kitchen in the battleship is smaller, and the dishes are extremely simple nutritional pastes.

Although the taste is rich, you can tell just by looking at the shape that the taste is definitely not much better.

There is no way. After all, it is just a large frigate. It mainly provides support firepower or auxiliary loading of supplies and ammunition.

Living facilities are good enough if they are available, so don’t expect too much.

After browsing around the lower level, I took the elevator to the upper bridge area of ​​the battleship.

It's actually not quite right to say it's the upper level, because the upper level is essentially where the combat department is located.

The position of the bridge should be regarded as the middle. Below is the cargo warehouse and hangar, and above is the warhead. The bridge is sandwiched between the two.

As for why the bridge is not placed at the bow of the ship. . .

Sir, we are in the interstellar age, and there is no need for things like portholes to observe the surrounding environment.

Cameras distributed around the ship can synchronize the surrounding scenes to the large screen in the bridge.

And the most important point is that the bow position of the ship is the most vulnerable to the first wave of attacks after the shield is broken.

Are you putting the bridge in that position because you're afraid the commander won't die quickly enough?

Of course, the Daleros people must not have thought of this when they originally designed the [Kite].

However, after being strengthened to Level 6, the Ancient One's superimposed strengthening device made up for this shortcoming.

After Zhao Feng thought about this design for a while, he understood its intention, which indeed made people feel at ease.

After all, in addition to the shield armor plate, there are many hull structures above and below that can withstand damage.

It can be said that the captain's protection is completely exhausted.

Entering the interior of the bridge, this is not the disc-shaped bridge design style commonly seen in science fiction movies.

There are also no job positions provided for other support staff.

It's said to be a bridge, but it's actually more like the insertion bolt in the classic anime Eva. Even the driving position is almost exactly the same.

It's just that it's larger, with a diameter of about 4 meters and a length of 8 meters.

The design of this structure actually does not require other auxiliary personnel.

It is just a frigate. Compared with destroyers and cruisers, the combat system is not too simple.

Detection systems, radar systems, and auxiliary systems are almost all the most basic models.

Even some things, such as electronic warfare systems, are not available on frigates.

However, even if the software system is relatively average, the battleship's own system AI is enough to help coordinate the operation of the entire ship.

Slowly walking to the center of the bridge, Zhao Feng sat in the driver's seat with excitement.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding curved screens lit up one by one.

Except for the driver's seat, the surrounding curved walls and even the floor beneath his feet all lit up.

The entire surrounding area of ​​the battleship is displayed.

It felt as if Zhao Feng had turned into a battleship.

Since this was my first time driving, the AI ​​in the spacecraft also very considerately provided novice driving tutorials.

It was just like playing a game, only more realistic. Then he confidently clicked to start the tutorial.

40 minutes passed quickly. . .

After failing 30 times in a row, Zhao Feng's expression gradually turned from excitement to indifference.

Nothing else, it’s really damn difficult to control a battleship!

During this period, he wanted the AI ​​auxiliary system to intervene, but was rejected.

Depending on the deep space environment, if the depth of the universe is too deep, the auxiliary system is likely to fail.

Therefore, as a frigate captain, you must learn to operate a battleship manually.

As for manual operation, it is much more difficult!

Let’s start with the take-off stage. It’s not just the coordination of the two-hand joystick that needs to be just right.

He also needs to pay close attention to the real-time data displayed on the HUD panel in front of him and adjust the output of the five engines behind him.

It is also necessary to ensure that the thrust of the vertical jet engine under the belly of the aircraft is just right.

Moreover, since it is flying within the atmosphere, the difficulty will gradually increase in the tutorial.

From windless conditions at the beginning to wind, strong winds, thunderstorms, typhoons, tornadoes, and even super storms.

These 30 consecutive failed takeoffs were basically all caused by thunderstorms and typhoons.

The points of failure are also strange.

Either the balance adaptation system was not turned on, causing the plane to lose stability and crash, or it was forgetting to turn on the electromagnetic barrier, and the engine nozzle was damaged by dozens of lightning bolts.

Or, when excited, the joystick is pulled too hard and the spacecraft is instantly unbalanced. In order to compensate, the "throttle" is stepped on hard, causing the spacecraft to completely lose control, causing a wave of Brownian motion in mid-air, and finally disintegrating and exploding.

Anyway, there are all kinds of crashes and explosions.

The difficulty of operation can be said to be quite high.

In fact, we can't blame Zhao Fengcai. Outside the trial area of ​​​​the Star Sea World, no matter which civilization has its own captain school, which outstanding captain is not taught from a child?

Especially warships like frigates, which extremely require the captain's personal ability to exert their flexibility and maneuverability.

That requires a lot of learning.

Of course, not all battleships are like this. Starting from the cruiser level, although the captain's personal strength is still very important, the super large hull does not require the captain to personally control it at all.

At that time, there will be a full-time driver to share this part of the work for the captain.

Generally, the pilots of such large ships are taken over by captain trainees who were passed over from the frigate stage because they are unable to be promoted further.

This has the advantage that because the pilot has learned the captain's knowledge for a period of time, he can understand the captain's orders.

The same goes for other positions.

Because the initial study period in the frigate requires captains to have a comprehensive understanding of the entire ship, and then pass the exam to be promoted to destroyer captain.

Among them, those who are unqualified are for driving or energy deployment, or radar use, detection skills, and fire control skills.

Those with better scores in these subjects will receive special training based on their excellent subjects and be transferred to other jobs.

But Zhao Feng, as an Earth human and a brand-new trial race, he had no chance to come into contact with these.

Therefore, it would be difficult for him to operate a frigate with a zero-based starting point.

It's no less than asking ordinary people who have never had any contact with any means of transportation, and can't even ride a bicycle, to directly learn to drive a rocket.

Even if there is teaching, it is still difficult. The lack of basic theory can only be eliminated after a long period of training and practice makes perfect.

But as a trial race, he doesn't have that much time to train, so he can only bite the bullet and study hard.

After more than 20 failures, he was finally able to fly in a stormy environment.

But the next landing turned into a big problem.

Anyone who has played flight simulation knows that it is easy to fly an airplane, but it is extremely difficult to land.

The angle, shape, and speed of the landing must be just right.

Although he controls a frigate, it can take off and land vertically.

However, it is extremely difficult to maintain balance and land safely without stalling when there is strong interference.

Similar to the take-off tutorial, landing from a high altitude gradually increases in difficulty.

It was a gentle breeze at first, then gradually increased until it was less than 10 meters above the ground, and then it started to become a storm.

After failing dozens of times under such harsh conditions, Zhao Feng paused the tutorial and slowly sat back in the driver's seat.

It’s so tiring. It’s so tiring to control the spacecraft!

It also requires a high degree of concentration, which is not only tiring but also taxing on the brain.

Even though he had 41 points of energy and his concentration was much higher than that of ordinary people, he still felt extremely tired.

Tired, very tired! But Zhao Feng also knew that he had to pass this tutorial.

Even if there is a slight flaw or a slight hesitation in operation, it will not work.

Just like the oil seller, you must be thoroughly familiar with it before you can pass the level.

As for the ratings given by the system, they are not actually needed. He knows best whether he is proficient or not. Things that are related to life do not need ratings at all.

After scratching his head, Zhao Feng was not in a hurry to continue practicing.

He had seen some educators at Station B say it before.

You can work hard, but you can’t work blindly.

So taking advantage of his break, he opened the skill panel.

Scanning the names of each tab, my eyes finally settled on the Control and General tabs.

For other skill categories, you already know what they represent just by looking at their names.

There are only these two skill tabs, and some may have driving abilities.

Especially in the control category, Zhao Feng thinks it is the most likely to unlock driving capabilities.

But the problem is that this tab has not been opened yet, and it is embarrassing that I can't see any skills in it.

As Zhao Feng frowned, seemingly aware of his confusion, the plug-in prompt popped up again.

(Tip: When your level reaches Lv.25, it will be opened, introduction to battleship control, etc.)

'Um? ? ? ’

After carefully studying the prompt content of the plug-in, Zhao Feng quickly realized the problem.

‘Is there something wrong? Only by controlling a spaceship can you fly into space. Only by flying into space can you unlock levels. Only by unlocking levels can you learn to control a spaceship? ! ’

‘Let’s play closed loop for a while, right? Blocked at both ends! ? ’

It's a pity that his complaint did not receive additional hints about cheating.

There was only silence in response to him.

With a long sigh, he knew that there was really no shortcut this time and he could only study hard.

'shortcut? etc! ’

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhao Feng's mind.

‘Who said there are no shortcuts? Isn't the reason why my machine always crashes because I can't operate it properly? It was simply because he was in a hurry when encountering an unexpected situation and was not skilled enough to make accurate judgments in a very short time. ’

‘It seems to be a matter of proficiency, but in fact it is a matter of time. ’

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng's heart suddenly became enlightened.

He can completely turn on bullet time for time acceleration to assist his driving skills.

Moreover, he also has a special talent [muscle memory]

It can be used to continuously memorize correct operations and make reactions faster.

Especially for some environments with strong winds and strong interference, on-the-spot remedies that are extremely difficult to operate are turned into [muscle memory].

The two cooperate with each other, so what driving skills are there to worry about?

Moreover, if you use bullet time to control the spacecraft, 1 second is enough for 10 seconds.

There is no need to use stronger molecular time to control the spacecraft, it is purely overkill.

Moreover, with his current will and spirit, he can sense the intensity of these three.

It is completely possible to turn on bullet time for a long time.

Zhao Feng did use it this way next.

Adjust your mood and enter the flight tutorial again.

Stare at the surrounding displays and the data displayed on the HUD panel.

Still cautiously following the steps to slowly adjust the engine output and perform vertical takeoff and landing.

Taking off was actually quite simple. He did not use bullet time. He relied on his own experience of many failures to successfully fly after turning all the systems on or off in order.

What followed was a fatal descent.

In the simulation program at this time, a super strong storm exceeding level 17 was blowing outside the battleship.

At this time, just to stabilize the fuselage against the storm, he had already exhausted all his abilities.

But the battleship still began to tilt uncontrollably.

Seeing that it was about to crash again, Zhao Feng quickly started "Bullet Time".

Everything around him slowed down in the blink of an eye.

Staring at the surrounding environment displayed on the monitor, the terminal vortices created by strong winds blowing across the wings.

All kinds of real-time data on the HUD panel, everything is in his eyes.
