Chapter 1003 Speed ​​Limiter
The fastest aircraft in human history is America's X43A test aircraft, with a dive speed of 9.8 Mach.

But it is obvious that this is just an experiment. It is impossible to build a mass-produced fighter jet with such specifications. Even if the aircraft can withstand it, the pilots will have to resign.

The test machine that Li Chengxi is driving now is also quite similar. It is a test platform where all kinds of new technologies are stuffed into it to see the effects, without considering the human experience when driving.

The five engines, four small and one large, arranged in a mountain shape, were running at full power, and the speed in the upper left corner of the screen was reaching over Mach 4.

This is not the acceleration limit, but the starting speed after the speed limiter is released.

The starlight on the screen shifted and was stretched into a line. Communication with Fang Lanyin was also disconnected at the same time, out of the range of the personal communicator.

The joystick moved slightly, and the whole machine shook left and right as if it was out of control. Li Chengxi quickly reduced the throttle to the quarter position.

This was the first time. Li Chengxi always stepped on the accelerator to the fullest and never slowed down.

Flying back into the communication range, Fang Lanyin immediately asked:

"What about now? Is it too fast?"

"I know why they put a speed limiter on it. This thing is a pretty hot-tempered beast."

When flying in the atmosphere and the dive speed is too fast, it is easy to lock the rudder, that is, the horizontal tail that controls the up and down of the aircraft cannot move freely, which causes the aircraft to dive down like a javelin and cannot be pulled up.

Although there is no problem of locking the rudder when flying in the void, the direction control must be particularly precise and careful when flying too fast. It is very likely that a slight movement of the lever will cause the plane to go off track. This is why Li Chengxi could not control it because it suddenly accelerated just now.

After clicking on the aircraft information and touching the speed limiter, the speed of light of this thing is four times that of an ordinary space fighter and almost eight times that of the Manta.

The data on rolling performance and turning performance are so flexible that it feels like cheats are being used.

"I need some time to get used to it, but to be honest, this thing is even better than the magic mecha's data."

Although it is difficult to control, Li Chengxi is still very satisfied with the performance.

"Then let's test the weapon data. See if there is anything that needs to be changed. I'll try it later."

This thing will be maintained by Fang Lanyin in the future, so of course she has to understand its various performance characteristics. A maintenance manual alone is of no use, it is just a reference.

But as soon as Fang Lanyin finished her words, the light above her head suddenly went out, and then the red emergency light turned on, accompanied by an alarm.

"What the hell? Is there something wrong again?"

As can be seen from the word "again", this kind of thing has happened many times.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The sounds of alarms and internal broadcasts continued to echo in the base. The staff who were originally doing their respective duties jumped up one after another as if they were scalded, and the base seemed a little chaotic.

The reason was that the base's radar detected a fleet approaching.

The royalist base is quite hidden, located inside a wandering planet, or rather, the wandering planet itself has been transformed into a base.

It is not located in a galaxy, but in an endless black background. Logically speaking, this is not a busy shipping route and no fleet should approach.

After asking around and learning that no one from our base came, the purpose of this fleet's visit became very worrying.

The fleet was not large in size, with more than thirty ship-level signals appearing on the radar, roughly at the squadron level.

But because they didn't know the intention, the royalist base didn't dare to expose themselves rashly, which would be like admitting guilt. So when the fleet appeared, they immediately sounded the alarm and all personnel were on standby to deal with the situation. Apart from that, they didn't take any further action.

It was not until the fleet came closer and within visible distance through optical instruments that the royalist base confirmed that this squadron came from the Red Maple Republic, which they called traitors.

The location of the base is kept secret, but the problem is that the intelligence agencies of the Red Maple Republic are not just there to do nothing.

Previously, in order to save the princess, the royalists exposed too much of their strength, which made the Red Maple Republic very alert.

I originally thought that the royalists had been almost completely eliminated, and even if there were still some, they were only minor infestations, and would eventually perish on their own in a short time.

But the incident of rescuing the princess became a big deal, and when the Red Maple Republic saw that you were able to put together a fleet, they immediately conducted a thorough investigation from top to bottom.

Maybe they captured someone who knew the location of the base and tortured him, or maybe they got the information from somewhere else, but no matter what, the fleet coming to this remote place was obviously problematic.

Judging from the scale, the rebels of the Red Maple Republic should not be sure, otherwise they would not have sent a squadron, but a large fleet consisting of hundreds of warships.

This group of people seemed to be here to investigate.

Even if the princess was rescued, now was not the time to immediately respect the king and fight the rebellion. There was still too much preparation to be done, so the royalist base decided not to launch an attack for the time being. It would be best if they could fool them.

Seeing the fleet getting closer and then farther away, as if it had not discovered the base covered by optical camouflage, everyone actually breathed a sigh of relief.

But they were not happy for long, as they saw a passing squadron suddenly turn around with all their ships, and they could clearly see the lights of their main guns charging.

It’s over, I can’t hide it anymore!
"I saw the main gun firing!"

"Shield open, energy recharge complete."

"Anti-aircraft gunners are ready."

"The anti-ship main guns are charging. They were just repaired a while ago. About 30% of the gun positions are unusable."

"Confirmed landing!"

The next second, the fleet's main guns hit the deployed shield, and entering combat mode shut down unnecessary functions for the fortress, including optical camouflage.

This wandering planet, which is smaller than the moon, has revealed its transformed face.

Like an apple with a piece cut off, a large number of gun positions were pushed up and launched a counterattack against the squadron.

"Confirming torpedo track."

"Anti-aircraft guns fire freely!"

After two rounds of salvos, the void torpedoes fired by the fleet had entered the coverage of the anti-aircraft guns, and immediately fired a dense barrage of bullets to blast them before they got close to the shield. For a moment, this quiet and empty star field was lit up by flashes of various colors.

A squadron cannot pose much threat to a fortress that has basically completed planetary transformation. I believe the other side also knows this.

Their mission was not to destroy the royalist fortress, but to delay it until the main force arrived.

It would not be good if the main force of their fleet arrived.
