Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1002-13
Viola is considering sending troops, while Yang Yiyi is on the way. Overall, the situation is stable and improving.

Only Alyssa was extremely anxious.

She couldn't wait to catch up with her own starship, but the repair and replacement work of the Swan had not been completed yet, so she could only watch helplessly every day.

In the shipyard, a bright red banner was hung, fluttering in the air currents in the microgravity environment.

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

Ring the big bell once! Push the lever to activate the piston and pump!
Ring the bell twice! Press the button to start the engine, ignite the turbine and breathe life into it!
Ring the bell three times! Sing in unison, praising the power of all things...

Damn the mix-up.

In short, the ceremony to appease the machine spirit began with the accompaniment of the sound of bells. It took more than an hour before all the ritual items were removed and the work began.

The Swan's engine has been repaired. After all, the damage was not too serious. The repairman spent two days to fix it and also performed maintenance on it.

The reason why the ceremony to appease the machine spirit is being held now is because they are preparing to cut the armor plates and carry out an overall upgrade of the Swan.

If repairing the engine is equivalent to an outpatient surgery, then the overall upgrade that needs to be done now is no less than an organ transplant. Almost everything on the Swan except the main body has to be replaced.

Of course, this requires a ceremony to tell the machine spirit that we want to make you a better person, not tear you apart, so don't get angry.

Although they didn't know, these operations were actually unnecessary, after all, the Swan was under the control of Li Chengxi.

This is just like the ceremony that must be held before the fleet leaves the port, almost all for good luck.

Since the Swan could not move temporarily, the people on board were living in the royalist base during this period.

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

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

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

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

Even though she knew that if she tried to help, she would only be doing more harm than good.

Vilania's situation is even simpler. After all, she is a scholar and cares more about what technology the royalists plan to equip the Swan. This battleship produced by the Storm Kingdom, after being transformed with the technology of the Red Maple Empire, has a beauty similar to the Indian-made Tejas fighter, with a single stitching.

"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 modified beyond recognition?"

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

"It will be very soon. No more than ten days at most."

This has been a long time.

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

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

"what is this?"

"Here is the latest information about Carlos on your starship. I believe it will be useful when you go to chase the starship. It is my after-sales service."

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

Alyssa grabbed the floating data stick, but instead of thanking her, she looked at Eunice warily:
"What do you want to do again?"

This woman is definitely not a simple information dealer. Alyssa always feels that she is playing a big game and must be careful not to be used as a pawn. "I am so sad that you doubt me so much."

He said this, but still maintained a perfect business smile on his face.

"I just think there will definitely be opportunities for us to work together in the future."

Alyssa didn't really want to continue cooperating with Eunice. The power hidden behind this person was too great. She even dared to interfere in the internal affairs of the Red Maple Republic. God knew what other business she had not mentioned.

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

Fang Lanyin pressed a button to turn on the glass's sunshade effect. Through the glass window and the radar in front of her, she was able to accurately lock onto a small aircraft that was being tested outside.

"how are you feeling?"

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

Li Chengqi replied:

"This so-called test aircraft has performance that is not much better than an ordinary space fighter."

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

The one driven by Li Chengxi is one of them, and it is said to be a test machine built at great expense.

Perhaps due to the impression of Gundam, Li Chengxi felt that the test machine should be 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 that strong.

This test machine has no clear name. Its name is a code composed of a string of universal letters. It is referred to as '13-1' in the documents.

In fact, it is the first test machine of the 13th experimental project.

The two most critical indicators, acceleration performance and rotation performance, feel better than those of ordinary space fighters, but only slightly better, and cannot compare with the mobility of magic mecha.

Since the late model Zaku II self-destructed, the Swan temporarily did not have the extra energy and materials to create a new one. If Li Chengxi did not drive this thing, if something really happened, he would probably have to drive the Manta again.

Li Chengxi had expectations for the performance of this test machine, but it was obvious that the actual experience did not live up to his expectations.

Fang Lanyin was flipping through the maintenance manual of the testing machine and said casually:
“This test machine was additionally equipped with a speed limiting device, which may be the reason for the low performance.”

"why?"

“Maybe it’s because the human body can’t handle it.”

People on Earth can deploy hypersonic missiles that can fly at Mach 10, but they cannot deploy fighter jets that can fly at Mach 10.

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

Li Chengxi certainly didn't have to worry about the overload problem, so he said to Fang Lanyin:
"How do I remove it?"

"The maintenance manual says that the speed limiter can be controlled by the avionics system. Look for it. It should be able to be released by itself."

Li Chengxi opened the ability disk and turned it while looking at it.

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

This is really troublesome. Let’s go back and ask Fang Lanyin to remove the speed limiter directly.

As soon as he pressed the OK button, the brightness of the engine light more than doubled, becoming blindingly bright. The speed was increasing at an exaggerated rate like a stopwatch, causing the starlight that Li Chengxi saw to shift...
