Chapter 609: Void Voyage

Chapter 602 – Void Voyage
The Empire’s current Iron Shield and Copper Shield belong to the intra-dimensional vehicles, although the vacuum or void environment flight, but not enough to maintain too long, because the limited hull space can not accommodate more complex equipment, which naturally can not meet the Empire’s growing demand.

Therefore, a long time ago, the empire has been designing ships with the ability to fly in the void, and has already begun to build, especially after obtaining the materials of the void creatures that can resist the erosion of the void, the new type of void alloy casting molding, so that the speed of construction is greatly increased, and now it is already close to completion, but it is only without experiencing the actual battle and testing, it is not possible to carry out large-scale construction.

Now that the conditions are in place, the empire has decided to open a void voyage for testing.

The new void ship is named Silver Shield, 150 meters long and 30 meters high, with three double mounted 200mm heavy guns on the top, four double mounted 88mm rapid-fire guns on each side and the bottom, and three torpedo missile ports on each side, because of the use of special materials, even in the near-vacuum of the void, it is also able to play out enough power.

However, the focus of the Silver Shield is not these, in the void just solid can be of little use.

For example, the power core of the Silver Shield, in addition to the use of traditional magic, but also adopted the newly developed spiritual energy engine, as long as it is within the envelope of the subspace has unlimited energy, and as the subspace continues to expand, this advantage will only get bigger and bigger.

In addition, the power core is also infused with a small amount of origin, which will continuously flow with the energy within the ship, avoiding the ship from being corrupted by the void while also maintaining the internal living environment from the void.

These were the important factors that supported the Silver Shield’s void flight.

Just this whole set down, the cost of the entire ship was already so high that it made the empire a bit numb.

First of all, although the empire had eaten a big wave during the destruction of the main world, coupled with the fact that the Qunshan Mountains themselves were rich in all kinds of rare resources, there really wasn’t a lack of resources.

But with the development of the empire, the consumption and demand for resources is endless, and the empire is also impossible to dig out the North Qunar, so there will be a sense of crisis.

However, it was this sense of crisis that prompted the empire to invest more in void airships, because only by obtaining resources from the outside world could this problem be truly solved.

Although it was a test voyage, all kinds of preparations still couldn’t be sloppy, all kinds of supplies were filled into the cabin, weapons and ammunition were well stocked, crew members equipped with powered exoskeletons were in place, and Warhammer soldiers with life support systems added to their power armor also boarded the ship with their own equipment.

Shu Liya changed into a captain’s uniform, one hand clamped on the captain’s hat, one hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, looking heroic.

Looking up to the window, the silver bright-colored Silver Shield was parked not far away, like a proud unicorn or a noble silver-armored knight waiting for her conquest, which gave Shuria the long-lost urge to leap into action.

As Owen’s student, after giving up the chance to become a god, Shu Liya naturally gained an equal benefit, which was the subspace seed.

Each subspace seed was an unformed divinity, priesthood and authority, and it all depended on itself to what extent it could grow.

This was exactly why Shu Liya chose this path, but no one had ever traveled this path before and there was nothing to learn from it, causing her to rely on herself to keep trying, so she never refused anything new, such as being the captain of the new void ship Silver Shield.

Once she was ready, Shuria boarded the ship and headed down the passage to the bridge, followed by her first mate who was also a novice, the gunnery chief and other deputies, and most importantly, the navigator. Every navigator is a carefully selected psychic, no matter where they are, they are able to sense the location of the northern cluster of stars, so that even if they are lost in the void, they can still find their way home, they are living compasses, and they are second only to the captain of the ship as important personnel.

Following the metal passageway to the end, the refined gold steel door blocked the way, at the same time the corners of the passageway popped out of the already loaded explosive gun.

Unperturbed by this, Shuri calmly entered the Captain’s code and verified her identity information.

The heavy and sturdy steel door automatically opened after Shu Liya verified her identity, revealing a bridge full of precision equipment full of a sense of science and technology, while the surrounding popped out of the explosive gun also slowly retracted.

The bridge as the control center of the entire ship, most of the functions are integrated here, while the highest authority is on the command platform, controlled by the captain.

Shu Liya sat on the command chair with the highest authority integrated, and her own deep spiritual energy automatically connected to the ship’s intelligent core and power core through a special line to activate it.

From the top of the bridge fell a hovering machinery like a rudder, in the center was a crystal ball as big as a human head, at this moment countless runic data constantly refreshed, then projected an operation interface to Shu Liya’s face, letting her have a clear understanding of the whole ship’s condition at the first time, it was precisely the Silver Shield’s artificial intelligence core.

Shu Liya was able to diffuse her own powerful spiritual energy into the entire Silver Shield through the Intelligence Core and Power Core, as if she were sensing her own body, knowing it like the back of her hand, and even being able to influence and control the ship.

But an ordinary captain would definitely not be able to do that, at least not so easily, which was why the AI was there to assist.

At the same time, Shu Liya’s powerful psychic ability was also the reason why she was chosen to be the captain of the pilot ship, because once any problem occurred, she was able to detect and react in time.

With the system self-check completed and all personnel at all levels, Shu Liya pressed the button to ignite the engines with anticipation.

Powerful energy surged within the power core, activating the ship’s anti-gravity runes. Under the influence of the runes’ power, the Silver Shield ship slowly lifted up free from the gravitational pull of the Northern Cluster, and as the tail flame lengthened, the slender hull passed through the dimensional barrier and officially entered the void.

The void is not a vacuum, to be more deadly, because the void has the ability to decompose everything, so even the realm has a lifespan, when the origin can not be maintained will collapse, and ultimately dissipated in the void, so the void organisms will contain a certain amount of origin, and the Silver Shield ship must be injected into the origin to reduce the impact of the void.

The empire’s design proved to be reliable, the interior of the ship didn’t change due to changes in the external environment, it still maintained a comfortable temperature, fresh air flow, and the gravity remained the same, allowing people to move freely.

With the determination that the ship was operating stably, the crew members who had secured themselves were also busy, doing all sorts of inspections, from the wiring and piping to the weapons and equipment, every inch of the place was not spared.

They should know that they are now in the void, close to the North Group of Stars, it is okay, the Copper Shield, which can barely fly in the void, can rescue them, but once they are far away from the empire and then have a problem, then it is really not a good idea, so no one dares to be sloppy.
