Admiral of Hogwarts

In addition to the space engine, this warehouse also contains very important items. In addition to the parts required for the construction of various spacecrafts, the most common ones are various weapons.

This is determined by the nature of ship girls. Compared to humans, ship girls who were born in war have a special love for various weapons, so even if they enter the universe, they will arm themselves immediately.

"Davarisi, so you are here." Out of curiosity, Hugo naturally went to visit the weapons warehouse. As a result, a ship girl with short silver hair who was checking the inventory here spotted them and immediately greeted them. .

"Soviet Union, it turns out to be you!" Upon hearing the other party's Russian accent, Hugo immediately understood who the other party was, "By the way, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to deliver a batch of arms and equipment." The Soviet Union said, pointing to the shelf behind him. "Now we are able to produce a variety of nuclear missiles like sausages, which are ready to be loaded on transport ships."

"Transport ships!" Hugo opened his eyes suddenly, "I remember that the current transport ships should only be the four on the route and the two in the dock. Do such short-distance routes need to be equipped with such things? "

"Theoretically, it's not necessary." Soviet Union smiled and said. "But according to our tradition, it is more appropriate to arm those who can be armed as much as possible, so that if we encounter any situation, it can be easily solved."

"Okay, as long as it doesn't affect the main function of the ship." After hearing what the Soviet Union said, Hugo could only shrug helplessly, because he also knew that his ship girl was the kind of person who would be interested in anything as long as there was an open space as big as a palm. I want to insert a pole with a machine gun on it.

The two sides exchanged a few words and then said goodbye to each other and left. After seeing Hugo walking away from the corner, the Soviet Union took out a small bottle of antifreeze from the ship's installation space and started to work.

"We have now sent six ships to Mars, and two more ships will land this week." Hood talked about the situation on Mars while walking towards the control room.

"So what's the current construction situation on Mars?" Hermione asked after hearing this. "The temporary base should have been built."

"Yes, we have built an ecological hydroponic farm and a core nuclear fusion energy plant, which can now support 350 people to settle on Mars for a long time." Hood nodded.

"Thanks to the space folding magic, we can transport a large amount of materials to Mars at one time. Of course, the putting into use of the lunar factory also plays a great role, allowing us to have enough materials for construction."

For the next whole day, Hugo and Hermione stayed in the space dock's database to inquire about the progress of the entire space program in recent times.

Judging from the data, since the first space station was launched into space, the entire space program has been advancing rapidly, and the advancement speed is getting faster and faster.

But the entire plan is not without any problems. At least judging from the current situation, the biggest problem limiting this plan is the lack of labor force caused by insufficient population.

Fortunately, the use of a large amount of magic and robots has greatly reduced the demand for labor and allowed the entire system to advance smoothly. However, the problem of lack of personnel will exist as a long-term problem.

"It seems that the relationship network that everyone has spent several years building is still very meaningful." After reading a stack of information, Hermione said with emotion.

Because according to the data, the ship girls have now recruited more than 27000 people to join the space program, and 2500 of them have already entered space.

It is very rare for such a large-scale manpower mobilization to remain hidden for a long time. If the ship girls had not built an entire network rooted in the world, this kind of operation would not be possible at all.

Soon the time came early the next morning. Hugo and Hermione, who had been awake almost all night because of checking information, drank a bottle of sobriety potion and came to the restaurant. After a hasty breakfast, they arrived at the command tower of the dock.

"The increase in curvature calculation is normal, and the spatial fluctuations are normal!"

"The high-dimensional situation is normal. Adjust the engine power to medium. Pay attention to small data fine-tuning!"

"The energy valve has been adjusted, the digital divination results are out, the engine is warming up, the estimated time is 7.11 seconds -"

On the metallic-colored command tower, this cyber-style command hall made many people who came here for the first time feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, humans are the most adaptable animals, so it did not cause any problems. Obvious problem.

Behind the console, Salem and Yubari stood nervously looking at the data on the console display screen. Although everyone was well prepared, the first actual operation was still nerve-wracking.

"It starts in five minutes. I hope everything goes smoothly." After checking the time using the Admiral's network, Hermione crossed her fingers and prayed silently.

Fortunately, the wait was not long. As soon as 9 o'clock in the morning arrived, the voice of the commander-in-chief of this experiment, Massachusetts, came from the loudspeaker that had been silent before.

"Entering the countdown state, the first full-load long-distance test of the jump engine is now in the preparation state. Please leave the No. 3 No. 7 connection and enter your respective positions——"

At the same time, through the large porthole of more than ten square meters in the command center, Hugo could see that the passage originally connected between the two spacecraft and the bed was retracted and then pushed out of the berth by the mechanical arm.

Then the engines at the rear of the two ships lit up with blue light, and then, driven by the surging power of the engines, they slid to the scheduled test position about 10km away from the dock.

"The countdown begins, ten, nine..."

There was a clear countdown sound in the ears, and people were doing their work step by step, while those who came to watch the ceremony looked at the spaceship in the distance with excited faces.

In particular, a group of aerospace technology experts who were recruited were the most excited. The reason why they left their original positions was because of the layoffs caused by the greatly reduced investment in human aerospace after the Cold War.

Just when these people thought they were leaving the aerospace industry for the rest of their lives, the ship girls sent them an invitation. Obviously, the ship girl chose people who really love the stars, so these people got together quickly after receiving the invitation.

But they obviously didn't expect that the current situation far exceeded their original imagination. Thinking that their projects on earth had been cut due to budget cuts, and then thinking about the fact that a science fiction-like space jump test was about to be carried out here. How could it not make them extremely excited in comparison.

"Don't worry, this will definitely be successful." Hugo told everyone on the Admiral Network, "I believe that after such a long period of research and construction, we are unlikely to have any problems with this -"

"Don't worry, we are not that easily affected." Salem replied at this time. "And I have predicted before that everything will go well in this experiment——"

Just when Salem answered, the countdown also reached the end.

"One, zero, jump engine starts..."
