Chapter 1002 13-1

Viola is studying sending troops, while Yang Yiyi is on the way. Overall, the situation is stable and improving.

Only Alyssa is anxious.

She can't wait to catch up with her starship, but the repair and refitting of the Swan has not been completed yet, so she can only watch helplessly every day.

In the shipyard, bright red banners were hung, fluttering in the airflow brought up by the microgravity environment.

A group of maintenance workers put on solemn robes, placed a huge magnetic table next to the berth, and prepared all kinds of tribute incense burners, and even got a big bell, and then began the ceremony of appeasing the machine spirit.

Ring the bell once! Push the lever to start the piston and pump!

Ring the bell twice! Press the button to start the engine, ignite the turbine, and inject life!

Ring the bell three times! Sing in unison, praising the machine...

Damn, the words are mixed up.

In short, the ceremony of appeasing the machine soul began with the accompaniment of the sound of bells. After more than an hour of tossing, all the ritual items were removed and work began.

The engine of the Swan has been repaired. After all, it was not too damaged. The repairman spent two days to fix it and also did maintenance.

The reason for holding the ceremony of appeasing the machine soul now is that the armor plate is to be cut and the Swan is upgraded as a whole.

If repairing the engine is only equivalent to an outpatient-level operation, then the overall upgrade to be done now is no less than an internal organ transplant. Almost everything on the Swan has to be replaced except the main body.

Of course, a ceremony must be held to tell the machine soul that we are making you better, not dismantling you, so don't get angry.

Although they don't know, these operations are actually unnecessary, after all, the Swan is under the control of Li Chengxi.

This is just like there must be a ceremony before the fleet leaves the port, almost all for a good start.

Since the Swan cannot be moved for the time being, the people on the ship have been living in the royalist base during this period.

The most excited one among them was Sanafia, who ran around on the golem Benben every day, feeling like a child going on an adventure.

Most of the others hid in their respective rooms, and they were usually seen only when eating or taking a walk.

The ones who came to the dock most often to check on the Swan were only Alyssa and Verania.

Alyssa came to supervise the progress of the repairs, and she wished she could fix the ship at the speed of light herself and then set off immediately.

Although she knew that she would be a hindrance if she went to help.

Verania was even simpler. After all, she was a scholar, and she cared more about what technology the royalists planned to use on the Swan. This warship produced by the Storm Kingdom, after being transformed by the technology of the Red Maple Empire, had the beauty of the Indian-made glorious fighter, with a prominent seam.

"You are here indeed."

Eunice floated up from below and landed on the plank road holding the railing.

"Why, are you worried that your ship will be transformed beyond recognition?"

"It's impossible to say I'm not worried, but I'm more concerned about when I can leave the port."

"Soon, no more than ten days at most."

This is already a long time.

Eunice saw that Alyssa was not interested, so she took out a memory stick and threw it to her.

"Since you are so bored, I'll give you something good."

"What is this?"

"The latest information about Carlos on your starship. I believe you will definitely use it when you chase the starship. It's my after-sales service."

Due to an emergency, the Swan had to stay for a long time. As a result, the starship route data that Eunice had given before was outdated, so Eunice updated it again this time.

Alyssa grabbed the floating data stick, but did not thank her. Instead, she looked at Eunice vigilantly:

"What do you want to do now?"

This woman is definitely not a simple intelligence dealer. Alyssa always feels that she is playing a big game and must be careful not to be used as a pawn.

"I'm so sad that you doubt me so much."

She said this, but she still kept a perfect business smile on her face.

"I just think that we will definitely have a chance to cooperate in the future."

Alyssa didn't really want to continue cooperating with Eunice. This person had too much power behind her. She dared to get involved in the internal affairs of the Red Maple Republic. Who knows what other business she has not said.

At the same time, on the other side of the base.

Fang Lanyin pressed the button to turn on the shading effect of the glass. Through the glass window and the radar in front of her, she could accurately lock onto a small aircraft that was flying outside.

"How do you feel?"

"It's okay, but that's it."

Li Chengxi replied:

"This so-called test aircraft is not much better than ordinary space fighters."

In addition to overhauling the Swan, the royalists also provided several aircraft to fill the Swan's hangar.

The one Li Chengxi drove was one of them, and it was said that it was a test aircraft built at great expense.

Perhaps due to the impression of Gundam, Li Chengxi felt that the test machine should be the kind of one with incredible performance and incredible cost. The mass-produced machine would definitely reduce performance to facilitate mass production. The test machine is mainly a platform for testing new technologies.

But in terms of the current driving experience, it is not really strong.

This test machine has no clear name. The name is a code composed of a string of universal language letters. It is referred to as "13-1" in the document.

Actually, it is the first test aircraft of the 13th experimental project.

The two most critical indicators, acceleration performance and rotation performance, feel better than ordinary space fighters, but only better, not as good as the mobility of the magic mecha.

Since the Zaku II late model exploded, the Swan does not have extra energy and materials to create a new one for the time being. If Li Chengxi does not drive this thing, if something really happens, he may have to drive the Manta again.

Li Chengxi had expectations for the performance of this test aircraft, but it is obvious that the actual experience has failed his expectations.

Fang Lanyin took the maintenance manual of the test aircraft and flipped through it, and said casually:

"This test aircraft has an additional speed limiter installed, perhaps this is the reason for the low performance."

"Why?"

"Probably because the human body can't bear it."

People on Earth can equip hypersonic missiles that fly at Mach 10, but they can't equip fighters that fly at Mach 10.

One of the problems is that the pilot can't stand it.

Li Chengxi certainly didn't have to worry about the overload problem, so he said to Fang Lanyin:

"How to remove it?"

"The maintenance manual says that the speed limiter can be controlled by the avionics system. Look for it and it should be able to be removed by yourself."

Li Chengxi opened the ability disk and looked at it while turning it.

This test machine has quite a few functions. After turning it twice, Li Chengxi finally saw the option to remove the speed limiter.

It's really troublesome. Let Fang Lanyin remove the speed limiter directly when I go back.

I pressed the confirm button, and almost at the same time, the brightness of the engine light soared by more than double, which was a bit dazzling, and the speed was increasing at an exaggerated rate like a stopwatch, which once caused the starlight that Li Chengxi saw to shift...
