Chapter 1286: Black Rose No. 1
Zhao Chen looked at the interstellar warship in front of him, which had a black hull but was painted with black rose patterns.
He had seen information or rumors about this starship.
Because it was during the Star Alliance civil war that it helped Song Chen secure victory!
A near-T6 Black Rose-class heavy interstellar battlecruiser!
It is also the most powerful interstellar warship currently in service with the Covenant, according to publicly available information.
The interstellar warship that Zhao Chen is about to board has a very special designation.
Black Rose 01 ship.
As its name suggests, this is the flagship of the Star Alliance leader and also the most powerful flagship.
"You are Colonel Zhao Chen?" At this moment, an officer with the rank of senior colonel stepped down and looked at Zhao Chen in front of him.
“It’s me,” Zhao Chen said.
"Please show me your ID card." The senior colonel looked Zhao Chen up and down.
Zhao Chen took out his ID card.
The other party scanned Zhao Chen's ID card and confirmed Zhao Chen's identity several times.
He gave Zhao Chen a military salute.
"Don't mind it, this is a necessary procedure."
"You know the special nature of this Black Rose; everyone who boards this starship needs to have their identity strictly verified." The colonel smiled slightly.
Zhao Chen nodded in understanding.
The senior colonel then asked, "One last question: are you carrying any weapons?"
Zhao Chen took out the hilt of the lightsaber he wore at his waist: "This is the only weapon I have."
"This is the legendary lightsaber you used to slay the aliens with your bare hands after jumping out of your army space fighter at an altitude of 10,000 meters, right?" The senior colonel examined Zhao Chen's lightsaber.
Zhao Chen smiled subtly: "A coincidence."
It seems that the other party has really thoroughly investigated his identity.
"Alright, you can carry this weapon with you."
You can board the ship now.
"Please follow me." The senior colonel led the way.
Zhao Chen followed behind.
He recalled a request that Song Qingshan had made to him an hour earlier.
The idea is to have him take up a post on the Black Rose I ship now, and he will have full command of all the interstellar fighters on the Black Rose I ship.
The only requirement Song Qingshan made was that Song Chen's safety must be ensured under all circumstances.
When Song Qingshan said those words, his expression was very serious.
I don't like Song Chen.
However, it must be said that the future of Star Alliance cannot do without him.
"Please." Song Qingshan patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder and personally contacted Song Chen's side.
This was the only request Song Qingshan made of Song Chen.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Chen asked about the person's identity and then agreed.
Zhao Chen still remembers the last thing Song Qingshan said back then.
“I can warn you, this person is someone I lent to you.”
"You'll have to give it back to me after this plan is over!" Song Qingshan warned sternly.
"Colonel Zhao, I'll take you directly to the starfighter hangar of our Black Rose I ship," the colonel said from the front.
"OK."
"This is all the data on the Black Rose I ship's interstellar fighter combat module."
In addition, from now on, you will hold your current identity card.
You can enter areas including those for Starfighters and Stardrones.
"You also have command authority over this part; apart from the leader, no one can interfere with your orders." As he said this, the senior colonel looked at Zhao Chen with a strange expression.
It seems he thought the order was too strange.
It's unbelievable that someone who's just boarded the Black Rose No. 1 for the first time would be given such great power!
But this was an order directly issued by the leader, and he dared not question it in any way.
At this moment, Zhao Chen also began to look up relevant information as he walked.
Although the Black Rose is a heavy interstellar battlecruiser.
However, to be precise, it should be considered a versatile battlecruiser.
In addition to the combat modules that are common to battlecruisers.
Because it is heavy-duty, it is very large.
In a sense, it sacrificed speed.
But at the same time, it also gives it more space.
This space contains interstellar missile launch equipment and munitions.
And interstellar fighters and interstellar drones.
Based on the detailed information in front of Zhao Chen at this moment.
The Black Rose has a total of three thousand interstellar fighters and one hundred thousand interstellar drones.
Although it cannot be compared with the number carried on an aircraft carrier or starship.
However, the starfighters and star drones equipped with these weapons are quite different from other types of equipment.
Because these were all designed specifically for Black Rose.
Since there was no need to carry out any bombing missions, the fleet consisted entirely of conventional interstellar fighters.
The near-T6 Rose Knight-class interstellar fighter and the near-T6 Rose Fairy-class interstellar drone.
Both of these models belong to the T6 level.
They are also currently the only two T6-level starfighters and star drones in the Star Alliance.
"We've arrived." The colonel walked to a huge gate.
Further ahead, you can hear a lot of noise and see several hangars the size of football fields.
As Zhao Chen walked in, almost instantly all the starfighters and ground crew near the door turned their attention to him.
The senior colonel stood beside Zhao Chen and whispered, "Because the Black Rose One is not an aircraft carrier, it doesn't need to carry out any interstellar combat missions."
At most, they will be deployed for defense when enemy starfighters and stardrones harass them.
It's actually not used very frequently.
But his identity as a starfighter pilot, coupled with being the leader's flagship, was also a significant factor.
Therefore, there are actually quite a few people planted here, and they are all arrogant and conceited.
But please rest assured that there are absolutely no problems with my identity.
The senior colonel's tone turned slightly helpless as he spoke.
"Thank you, now it's my turn to do my job." Zhao Chen expressed his gratitude to the colonel.
Next, he needs to take over the job as quickly as possible, and the first thing he needs to do is establish his authority, otherwise, if war really breaks out...
These soldiers don't listen to their commander's orders, so what nonsense are they talking about?
Especially since he was the superior officer who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
It is estimated that many people harbor ambivalence about themselves.
Since I arrived here, the captains of all the flight squadrons must have already learned of this arrangement, but no one has come to greet me.
This directly illustrates the undercurrents at play.
They weren't very welcoming to themselves.
Zhao Chen raised his hand and used his privileges to open the communication channel for the entire fleet.
"All crew members, all ground crew teams."
Meet at the main entrance of Hangar No. 1 within ten minutes.
Anyone who is late will be severely punished!
