Imperial ships are basically cylindrical in shape. The ship was made up of a combination of 1 / 4-, 1 / 2-, and full-circular cylinder blocks called sections, which were connected together.

The reason, of course, is its high maintainability. It seems that in ancient times, ships were built based on an integrated skeleton, but anything was too conservative. It may be the way it was because there was no war.

If it is connected, even if it is a wrecked ship, it can be exchanged and repaired in a week if there is a replacement section.

The strength may be a concern when using the connection method, but with the current technology, sufficient strength could be secured.

Node reports suggest that the gravity control section is less harmful than the initial reports. Good news after a long absence.

Now that the captain has escaped, let's start rebuilding the ship.

First, dump the institution section. There is no prospect of restoration and it is completely unnecessary.

This cuts off the rear quarter of the ship.

Originally dumping on a planet with intellectual life would be a serious violation of military regulations, but since it is currently in a first-class emergency state, there is no problem.

There should be no problem because the landing point is 2,000 kilometers away from the captain's expected landing point.

Use a tractor beam (gravitational beam) to drop it on a planet. Indeed, if you drop it at this size, the planet may be destroyed. She was self-destructed at a sufficient distance.

Only technology can beat humanity over Bagus. Each section was overbuilt with self-destruct devices to prevent the flow of science and technology.

Of course, it is a confident work of the Imperial Army that works reliably in any damage.

Next, he started to rotate the entire ship with the auxiliary engine for attitude control. It uses centrifugal force to dump sections in the desired direction. The faster the better.

If the auxiliary engine gets enough rotation, it will discard irreparable sections one after another. The first cold sleep section and the second cold sleep section are separated by measuring timing.

The detached section is dropped onto the planet using a tractor beam. The trajectory can be changed little by little by the action reaction force. They also self-destructed far enough away.

With the actions so far, the likelihood of a successful rebuild has risen to 68%.

You also need to dump the hangar section. Hangar section is too heavy.

Already, two high-speed trawlers and four large landing craft that can navigate through outer space have been wiped out by attacks.

He instructed all aircraft that could descend from outside the atmosphere to descend. Surely the captain should be useful.

The hangar section was destroyed. This is also dropped with a tractor beam.

Earlier, when the captain was urged to issue a caption order, the caption changed the phrase "for maintaining the ship's strength" to "for maintaining the ship's strength and the space force's strength". Ordered.

This is probably due to senior officer education. Imperial Army Military Regulations Article 1, Paragraph 2, A "Imperial Army Forces Must Be Maintained and Survived"

That was exactly the case. There is no way to keep the ship's strength alone.

Most features are missing. No navigation, no guns, no secondary guns, no FTL communication.

To be honest, in its current state it will not compete with the Imperial Space Force's satellite-class destroyers or the Bagus BG-I cruiser.

It may not be enough at the moment, but we have to work to get it back.

To do so, the industrial, life support, medical, and gravity control sections must be protected.

The AI in the dumped hangar section was confusing.

It is an order to descend all aircraft that can descend without regard to safety regulations.

Even if it has a descent function, it is not designed to descend from such an unreasonable orbit. How many aircraft can descend safely?

It is currently waiting for the optimal descent position.

AI in the hangar section turned one of its consciousness to a group of general-purpose bots in the hangar. The bot does not have its own orbital descent function.

It was designed to perform various tasks on behalf of humanity. For that reason, both hands and feet were designed to resemble human beings.

Although it did not have much fighting power, it had a wide variety of functions just to be said to be general-purpose. And like a drone, it is designed for long-term operations.

There was a recommendation from one of the nodes that make up AI. Check the contents and the specifications of the drone. It was a suggestion to drop a combination of a general purpose bot and a drone.

The drone has a hook on the belly of the fuselage for options. Let's calculate taking into account the specifications of the drone and bot and the air resistance.

The chances of success are high.

We instantly created a plan to let the bot grab the hook of the drone and let the drone enter the atmosphere. If not, the bot just needs to release the hook.

Of course, drones cannot fly with a bot in weight, but they can glide close to the surface and slow down.

The bot has thrusters to assist jumping. There is a high possibility that you can land if you drop your falling speed.

Immediately, a drone-bot pair is created, and the bot is instructed to cling to the drone hook.

The bot has survived, but it can't be helped anymore.

Elys had repeatedly separated and docked. I have just finished my fourteenth docking.

Separate and tow with tractor beam and dock. By repeating this, the orbit was gradually changing.

You can get on the track where you can swing by a little later. The engine section is lost and the power available is limited. I can't waste anything.

From now on, it is planned to shift to a stable orbit by using the swing-by and the auxiliary engine together. It takes time but it can't be helped.

I can't contact the captain. It must have already reached the surface.

The hangar section has reached a descent altitude.

The hatch is opened, and the tractor beams attached near the hatch are being launched one after another without any questions.

At first glance, the drone looks like a bird, about 15 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 4 meters high. The general-purpose bot crawled in advance and grabbed the hook.

One after another, a pair of drone and bot is launched.

The injected aircraft ignited the hydrogen ramjet engine immediately.

You have to rush out of the hangar section. It will self-destruct immediately after this.

The hangar section self-destructed far enough from each aircraft. Survive the shock.

Using aerobraking, maneuver to the optimal approach angle and try to enter the atmosphere.

............

Approximately 80% of the total completed the entry into the atmosphere. The trajectory was so bad that 20% were involved in an explosion in the hangar section.

The drones that have successfully escaped have limited hydrogen fuel, so they will glide to a lower altitude. In a sense, they flew and fell in formation to prevent them from being scattered.

According to the instruction of the leader machine, one pair moves forward and falls using the engine.

When the altitude fell below 1,000 meters, the hydrogen ramjet engine began to ignite and slow down. All aircraft are looking at their data.

The drone is a so-called vertical take-off and landing aircraft with a movable jet nozzle. I am good at such maneuvers.

The bot landed successfully. But it seemed quick to release the hook a little. The bot dropped about 30 meters but was safe.

All aircraft, based on the current maneuver, made a flight plan, and when the altitude fell below 1,000 meters, all hydrogen ramjet engines were fully opened. , ………

The drone communicated to the bot he was grabbing, releasing the hook, and the bot landed safely, jumping from an altitude of 15 meters.

Other aircraft were able to land successfully without any problems.

Currently, the order issued was a wait order. General-purpose bots gather and wait. The drone puts out a propeller, switches to propeller navigation, and rises.

The reason is to get out of the clouds and charge with stellar light. Lost hydrogen must be replenished from the air.

Iris was surprised at the ground contact. About 80% of drones, about 60% of general-purpose bots, and two large working tractors and three excavators were completed. It is more than expected.

Reconnaissance drone DR-3020 82 General-purpose bot BT-122W 82 General-purpose tractor TR-400G 2 units Exploration excavator KS-10G 3 units

Unfortunately, most weapons are used on large landing craft, and none of them had their own descent function.

The general-purpose tractor and the drilling rig were each placed in a dedicated container with a descent function, so they seemed to be able to descend. However, you probably won't get the chance to use them.

However, reconnaissance drones and general-purpose bots are very useful in the absence of contact with the captain.

For the time being, instruct the drone to search for the captain, scout for what appears to be a city of intelligent life, and observe the creature.

Other non-flying equipment was ordered to wait because it couldn't help moving to the cloud.

I can't contact the escape pod. What happened to the captain?
