Chapter 149 End Yan Era: Set Sail
Every imperial warship has such a good place, a viewing platform, where you can overlook the entire magnificent sea of stars and most of the hull. At the beginning of the establishment of the imperial navy, the founder of the imperial navy and the founder of the imperial armed forces People, the "Marshal of the Emperor" Constantine set up this place as an observation platform.
Speaking of which, Cole remembered that the Marshal's name was very similar to Vito's. They both had the surname Constantine. Of course, there was nothing strange about this, as this surname was not uncommon.
Here can be used for the fire controller of the warship, the shooting director and the orbital bombing calibrator to work efficiently. The 360-degree viewing environment with no dead angle allows everything around to be seen at a glance, providing an excellent observation window.
But I don't know when, with the aristocratization of the captains of the Imperial Navy, the tradition of merchant aristocrats also began to merge into the navy. The private viewing platform exclusively for noble captains to appreciate the star sea replaced the fire control base station, and finally became It has become a standard configuration of every warship.
Its practicality began to fade away, replaced by luxurious aristocratic decorations and rituals. Cole didn't like this kind of meaningless extravagance, although he himself was born in a seafaring family with pure aristocratic blood. He is related to Marshal Markarian, but Cole dislikes the broken habits of nobles very much.
So Cole remodeled the aristocratic observation deck, and now it has regained the fine traditions of the golden age. Complex sighting equipment and fire control base stations have replaced velvet and satin, and steel consoles have replaced chaise longues and sofas.
Cole stood at the top of the hanging ladder above the fire control base station, with a glass that was not too big or too small and just right around it. He was able to stand directly under the starlight, and he was almost within reach of the sea of stars.
Countless stars shone on his face. Cole watched the work at the end of the hull. A Mechanicum repair ship hovered at the tail of the hull, using its huge mechanical arm to push the Raven Guard battleship forward. replace it.
The sub-propeller of the Infinite Frontier was removed, and the mechanical arm was dismantled with the assistance of several auxiliary arms. The propeller, which had been severely damaged during the Blackstone Fortress and subspace navigation, was pulled out of the ship and turned into a huge universe. Rubbish.
The Mechanician repair ship used its mechanical arm to replace the Raven Guard's propeller. The advanced propeller from the era of the Great Expedition was simply modified to match the current Mars-star battlecruiser.
I have to praise Mechanicum's plan in this regard. The propellers of almost all ships in the empire are common, and so are many spare parts. Although the original intention is to be able to produce warships and facilitate supply and maintenance, objectively This has led to the extremely strong repairability of Imperial warships.
You just need to find another Imperial ship, from which you can get most of the repair parts you need, and then replace them on your own ship.
The maintenance ship of the Mechanician School completed the replacement of the engine, the huge propeller was inserted into the interface, and the plasma flame was slightly lit in the jet port.
Most of the repair work on the Infinite Frontier has been completed. Cole looked around at his kilometer-long battleship. Most of the damaged structures on it have been repaired, and now she looks so glamorous.
The Raven Guard battleship discovered by Vito and Lancelot helped a lot, and even allowed the Infinite Frontier to obtain some weapons and equipment. These weapons and equipment have been lost for a long time, but they can still be used miraculously. Reassured, he resumed work and successfully connected with the master control system of the Infinite Frontier.
Now this beauty can be said to be connected from ancient to modern, and its power has not been weakened, but has been greatly enhanced, providing a huge auxiliary role for the subsequent subspace navigation.
Cole watched the mechanical arm move out from the rear of the hull, his hand resting on the armrest of the gazebo, and they could set sail.
"Captain, the Mechanician's exploration ship and ground forces are organizing the evacuation, and they will all return to the fleet within an hour." The communicator on the fire control observation platform shouted loudly, and he poked his head out to the observation stand and shouted, " The two Lord Inquisitors and the Lord Astartes have also boarded the ship, and they are waiting for you on the bridge."
Cole turned his head and looked in the direction of Casson. A large number of transport planes were leaving the atmosphere, and transport barges had begun to dock in the belly dock of the Infinite Frontier.
Cole adjusted his captain's high-necked coat and walked down the hanging ladder. All the officers and soldiers in the fire control room stood at attention, waiting for the captain's order.
Cole looked at them and nodded slightly, "Get ready to leave the port." "Obey! Captain!"
Cole patted the officer on duty on the shoulder, and then walked out of the fire control room. The officer cleared his throat after watching the captain leave, and looked at the sailors in the arc-shaped narrow fire control room.
"Go back to work!"
Vito stood on the bridge, his eyes looked at the star Casson outside the window, that beautiful planet was still suspended above the sea of stars, emitting a faint light in the dark night.
He watched transport ships leave the orbit and atmosphere of the planet one after another. The densely packed Valkyrie transport planes drove into the deck like bees homing in, and the exploration ships of the Mechanicus sailed out of the thick atmosphere. The side of the Frontier began to slow down, and the thrust reverser engine was fully operational, allowing the exploration ship to stably connect with the battleship.
As the operators in the bridge manipulated one by one, the connection points on the display screen turned green one by one, and the anchor and fixed frame firmly controlled the exploration ship, allowing it to return to its own dock.
Vito looked at the ships and transport planes that had all returned. Cole also appeared beside Vito. The captain looked at the gradually sparse fleet outside the planet.
"Is everything ready?" Vito asked, while Cole nodded affirmatively, "All maintenance work has been completed, we have obtained sufficient replacement equipment from the Raven Guard's battleship, and there are even Some spare parts, the foundry also completes ammunition production from minerals mined on this planet."
"The void shield and Geller stand have also been repaired, the thrusters can be re-ignited, and we are now fully loaded."
Vito let out a long breath. He looked at the huge and beautiful planet. Compared with it, he and Cole were so small, but compared with the universe, this place was like dust.
Vito closed his eyes and heaved a long sigh of relief. He opened his eyes and glanced at the planet, "Then prepare to set sail." "Understood."
Cole said tacitly, he walked to the captain's command position and looked down at the sailors below, "Ready to set sail! The helmsman locks the route coordinates, activates the main propeller, and the power is full."
"Captain Bird, prepare to perform the sublight speed navigation ceremony, chief controller, close all hatches, docks and windows!" Cole issued an order efficiently.
"Yes! Captain!" All the students answered the call.
The old helmsman turned the rudder full, and the Infinite Frontier left the planet's gravity orbit and entered the galactic range.
Vito looked at the beautiful but suffocating scenery outside the window. It was a huge gap running through the Milky Way, and that place was generally called the Eye of Terror.
The four Astartes stood behind Vito. Together with the judge, they looked at the huge eye, and the blazing flames and flames of destruction were seething in the eye of terror.
Lilith also stood on Vito's left. She folded her arms and looked ahead. Cole also stood on his right after all the work was done. The seven of them looked at the Eye of Terror together.
The propulsion engines of the Infinite Frontier were fully lit, and the main propeller sprayed out a long tongue of flame almost instantly, the void shield of the battleship was fully lit, and then disappeared in a flash.
The entire battleship rushed towards the Eye of Terror at sub-light speed, leaving only a long propeller tail flame in the galaxy.
A new crazy journey begins.
