Chapter 392: 183 Ship Name: Dongfeng_2

Soon, Yang Ming sketched out the general shape of the spaceship East Wind.

It continued the fathead fish style from the first remodel, but the hull became smooth and graceful, with two giant auxiliary power wings and a pair of petite tail wings added.

The whole hull could be considered... a gun barrel with a wide front and a narrow rear.

The gun muzzle was a horizontal oval shape, over a hundred meters in diameter horizontally, and more than sixty meters vertically, resembling a golden oval.

Because of this, the entire spaceship was divided into three narrow vertical areas: left, center, and right.

The central area was the gun barrel.

On the upper side of the barrel was a retractable and foldable energy sail, capable of efficiently capturing free hydrogen ions in space, while the lower side had a long and narrow distribution of power systems, engines, and energy reserve centers, covered with extremely thick armor.

The left and right narrow areas were linked by two corridors. The area closer to the bridge housed the captain’s resting room, exercise room, hibernation pod, entertainment room, the captain’s assistant’s private space, and several ordinary crew cabins.

Further back, every twenty meters or so, there was a mechanical maintenance cabin, an ultra-high-strength alloy valve, and six to ten wall-mounted inner laser cannons.

It was clear that the three veteran mechanics considered Yang Ming’s requirement for ’anti-invasion combat within the ship’ when designing this new ship.

The rear cabin of this ship was somewhat "regrettable."

Due to the overall streamlined construction of the spaceship, the rear cabin became somewhat narrow as well, the usable area was only about twice that of the Feinan, and it did not equip Yang Ming with any new multifunctional small ship.

This part still required Yang Ming’s own efforts.

Yang Ming planned to acquire three high-performance small fighter jets and three Mecha of the Fierce Ghost and Red Demon series.

However, with such a romantic main cannon, there was no need to criticize the realism of the aft cabin.

Yang Ming returned to the bridge, sitting in front of the fire-control console, chuckling foolishly at those buttons.

Oh, look.

It not only had a control system for the main cannon but also a complete set of auxiliary cannon group control panels,

The mere 426-meter ship had as many as 126 auxiliary cannons, most of which could rotate vertically by 120 degrees and horizontally by 270 degrees, forming a dense firepower network around the hull.

It was like an artillery hedgehog!

It was just unknown whether the main cannon type of this battleship was more advanced compared to the current most advanced battleship array main cannon.

Oh, and the protective system...

The two rows of buttons below were all about the protective system!

Yang Ming felt much more assured at once.

He originally thought the three veteran mechanics might mess with him in this aspect, like giving him extreme offensive capability but retracting defensive ability.

After all, the best defense was offense.

One could only say: fortunately.

Did he choose the route of mechanical evolution, allowing the three veteran mechanics to grant him more indulgence?

Maybe, but Yang Ming’s original intention for choosing this development route was not to please this civilization, but purely to build a more powerful fleet faster.

Beep, beep, beep.

A slight noise came from above, and Yang Ming looked up.

Generally speaking, the most important function of a spaceship’s ceiling, aside from protective capability, was distributing simulated gravity.

This spaceship had something different.

Eight spheres were hanging from the ceiling, forming an array for realistic 3D projections.

At this moment, these eight spheres lit up one by one.

A small firelight appeared in the central position.

The firelight flickered gently, becoming more and more intense, and the flame outlined a piece of soft fabric, rapidly expanding as if reversing the process of burning.

The firelight surged and solidified; six golden wings unfolded from the firelight, while in the center of the wings, a beautiful woman dressed in a white short skirt with flowing black hair maintained a praying position.

She had a nearly perfect face, beautiful, intellectual, gentle, and cute.

She possessed a near-perfect figure, slender but not weak, neither exaggerated nor too modest.

Yang Ming quietly watched from the side.

It was his second time seeing a similar scene.

Nothing much, just Lyu’s boot-up screen.

Soon, Lyu opened her eyes, the wings behind her slowly dissipated, and the white skirt on her body transformed with the mosaic effect of the firelight into Yang Ming’s aesthetic preference—sexy business attire.

"Self-check complete, initiated."

"Integrating internal and external information... Receiving external information... Confirming authorized open area... Completed."

Lyu lightly exhaled a breath, as if completing a difficult task.

Then she giggled, "Boss! The teacher really turned it into a gunship!"

Yang Ming shrugged, gesturing her to sit on the pilot’s chair forward. "How does it feel? Your main brain seems to have upgraded too; I saw your main brain space getting several times bigger while wandering around."

"Hahaha!"

Lyu clasped her waist and laughed aloud:

"Now you can call me Goddess Lyu! Ahahaha! I can now independently support the network computing needs of twenty Administrative Stars! Hahaha!"

"Wanna go for a stroll around the New Federation later? I want to pinpoint the competitors hidden in Minter City."

"Uh," Lyu felt a bit passive at once, "forget Minter City, the New Federation’s network defense system is still very strong. It’s not just a matter of improving computing power to invade; the invasion tools are also crucial."

Yang Ming said with a smile, "Quickly report the performance of this battleship!"

"Okay, boss," Lyu cleared her throat, sat beside Yang Ming with legs together, her silkiness could not compare with her long hair’s smoothness.

She said quickly:

"Comparing it with the Feinan, East Wind’s mobility hasn’t improved significantly, but we regained the ability for sub-light speed travel, and because East Wind simulated fields more complexly and precisely, comfort improved greatly.

"The greatest enhancement is naturally in firepower, with the entire ship built around a main cannon.

"The type of main cannon used is a multi-stage internal cohesive ion cannon, which the New Federation is still in the theoretical validation stage. The advantage is high power; a single output from this main cannon equates to three full energy bombardments from the Sherman Empire’s thousand-meter-class heavy battleship main cannon, but the downside is the long cooldown time; their battleship main cannon can output three times while we can only output once."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows. "The value of this cannon is far greater than three battleship volleys."

"Uh, yes, boss, it’s better for breaking through energy shields," Lyu explained, "but its overall firepower is only comparable to a 1,200-meter-class battleship; the teacher did not give us anything era-surpassing."

"Satisfied," Yang Ming smiled with narrowed eyes, "What about its auxiliary cannon system?"

"That’s what I’ll be introducing in detail for you, boss,"

Lyu said softly:

"The teacher positioned this battleship to help you combat the Insect Race and Ancient God Life Forms, with the auxiliary and main cannon systems sharing an energy system of the same level but different circuits.

"That’s also why the main cannon chose an internal cohesive ion cannon.

"The East Wind has 212 near-defense laser cannons and 127 short-range sub-cannons, capable of forming a tight defense system. During combat, the energy recovery system ensures our prolonged endurance in sustained fighting.

"Additionally, the ship possesses a battleship-grade protective shield and an internal systematic anti-invasion system..."

Yang Ming saw several three-dimensional diagrams appear before his eyes.

While introducing these functions to Yang Ming, the corresponding operation buttons gently flickered with light.

Of course, the simplest way for Yang Ming to drive this ship was to shout ’Little Lyu, Little Lyu.’

After Lyu quickly finished the introduction, the smile on Yang Ming’s face almost dyed through.

But Lyu’s expression grew increasingly serious.

"The preparation cycle for the second assessment is six years; you can come here early, that’s what the three teachers wanted me to remind you of."

"Okay, see you in six years."

Lyu said softly, "Boss, if you have no issues with this ship, may I report a minor emergency that has arisen outside."

"Go on."

"No problems in other regions; Wind is normal, no trace of Valkyrie within the Sherman Empire’s territory, but Miss Mimili and Deputy Kolev are currently trapped in the Cas Federation."

Lyu hummed with a pinch of her chin, quickly integrating the synchronized information with her other self.

"They’ve encountered a bit of trouble, but there’s no immediate danger to their lives."

Yang Ming leaned back.

When he left here at the end of the first assessment cycle, he first went to the Cas Federation as well.

"Let’s go take a look," Yang Ming said quietly, "Start stealth navigation for the East Wind."

"As you command, captain."
