Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

Unlike actions in other directions.

This 'archaeological excavation', or large-scale expedition, goes to the Sea and Gold Star Territory and attempts to unearth the legacy of the Confederation of Stars.

Its goal is not clear.

Hidden in the shadows.

It's really easy to find the giant structures built by the ancient Haijin people.

These things are all 'landmark buildings' in the sea of ​​stars.

It's not something that grows horns and runs away, so it's easy to spot them.

But I want to find the 'Cosmic Crystal Research Institute of the Federation of Stars' that I don't know where it is yet, and I can't even be sure whether it is really in the Haijin Star Domain...

That's really like finding a needle in a haystack.

"I can only wish you good luck,"

"Anyway, what we need most now is luck."

At Pier 1 of the Reach Star Port, a huge elite fleet is slowly pulling anchor and setting sail.

Su Wen sighed as he looked at the rays of light from the engine wake that were not very dazzling because they were still in the space trap and had not yet started full acceleration.

He turned around and looked at the mental figures around him and said this.

Especially looking at Enterprise, Eugen, Essex and Heinrich in the crowd.

Although, it would be somewhat inconsistent to say goodbye to the fleet on an expedition, only to turn around and find that the fleet commander was standing next to him...

...However, the race he created is so magical.

For such a long time, Su Wen has long been accustomed to the strange situation of humanoids drinking afternoon tea with him in their true form and running around the world in their avatars.

Nothing else, just desensitization.

It's all become a daily routine.

"Searching collection-type tasks is indeed the most troublesome,"

“Fortunately, the expected harvest will be very generous, so it’s not too hard to accept.”

New Jersey stood beside him with his arms folded and said so with a familiar expression.

"I hope it goes well."

Su Wen nodded noncommittally, turned around and left with the girls.

..

Another expedition fleet was sent away.

Looking back, Su Wen began to study his big toy again.

——'The advanced giant structural engineering technology of the Federation of Stars' is just one of the bonus points he is looking forward to getting.

But whether they can be found and obtained smoothly and quickly will not affect the start of the three new projects.

The latter is already an established fact and cannot be easily changed.

What remains unresolved right now are just some details.

For example...

'Super flagship' specs;

Specifications of 'Celestial Battleship'.

And so on.

These are issues that need to be carefully considered during further construction.

"The 'planetary spacecraft' is good, but it's really useless,"

"Why are you looking at me like that? I've done a lot of filling in a lot of information before, okay?"

Under the surprised looks of Guanghui and Azuma, Su Wen said lines that were completely inconsistent with his character who mainly believed in the idea of ​​'more is better, bigger is stronger',

"As for this celestial battleship, bigger is not always better."

"It is actually the same as those conventional warships we built before. There is a cost-effectiveness argument."

"It is certainly good to achieve more functionality by increasing the size and internal space,"

"But if the combat effectiveness increased by increments cannot be balanced by the weakening of the body that makes it easier to be hit and targeted... then of course it is a loss-making business, and we cannot step into this pitfall."

Su Wen said, holding the pearl of wisdom in his hands.

We all know that the larger the hull, the more equipment can be packed into it and the armor can be laid thicker.

But as the size increases, the area affected by the attack will inevitably increase.

The area that requires shield and armor protection has also increased - to put it bluntly, 'add water to the surface, and add surface to the water'.

This is also the fundamental reason why many civilizations don’t even think about big toys like celestial battleships, don’t care about them at all, and don’t even bother to take a look at them:

With their technology, they cannot break through this endless cycle of adding more water to the noodles.

——Without protective technology that is powerful enough and awesome enough to produce a qualitative change, developing such a super giant weapon is completely draining the national treasury to create a living target.

Therefore, excessive pursuit of large size has no meaning.

The conventional layout plan of rectangular structure, bow facing the enemy, and reducing the projected area has been popular in the star sea for so many years.

To put it bluntly, I just can’t afford it.

Su Wen couldn't afford it either.

But now...

Ashamed to say it.

Recently, resources, technology, and production capacity have been increasing steadily, just like they are being sprayed out.

So much so that he felt that he would be sorry for himself if he didn't give it a try.

...Of course, even if it was just for fun, Su Wen would not casually ruin the business he had worked so hard to build.

He also has to consider cost-effectiveness.

That's why we came up with the idea of ​​'abandoning the planet-class spacecraft and replacing it with a 'War Moon'.

"It doesn't need to be too big, just about the same as the moon. To put it bluntly, it's the size of a satellite,"

Su Wen wrote and drew on the whiteboard, describing his wild ideas in a very abstract way:

——As a human being in an ethical sense, he has never been used to the kind of digital information sent everywhere by mental humanoids.

He often had "private chats" with the girls through spiritual links, requiring time-sensitive emergency communications, or sweet words of inconvenience to be spoken one-on-one.

But when it comes to fully 'expressing' it... he doesn't quite get it right.

All kinds of written documents and drawing equipment in the port area are basically prepared for him.

obviously.

The girls are all used to Su Wen's problems.

So much so that when he sketches out patterns that can only be described as postmodern abstraction with a level comparable to that of a soul painter...

...The virtuous housekeepers watching below did not even frown.

One is really brave enough to draw, and the other is really capable of understanding.

"It's like this, similar to the life ark of the respected fellow countryman,"

"The core layer at the center of the ball is the energy and power section, and the energy loops are laid out in concentric circles and cross shapes,"

"The outermost layer can be made of the multi-layered shell armor we got from the Fei people, and gun emplacements of different sizes can be arranged in different sliding directions... Ah, by the way, there is also a shield generator.

For such a big guy, it must be better to use a combined shield with a partitioned shield team! It would be too hellish to directly build a single shield..."

"It's just on this armor... To be honest, I don't have any good ideas,"

"If it's all about 'imaginary embodied matter', I'm afraid it won't work, and zero elements and hard light won't feel right."

"We can't continue to use nano-grid resistant steel alloy, right? It doesn't feel very high-end!"

"And the production capacity is..."

The soul painter completed his masterpiece and stood in front of the whiteboard to think deeply about it. He couldn't help but scratch his head.

——With the current production capacity of the empire, it will not be a problem to cover the dreadnought and even the Titan ship with nano-grid resistant steel alloy.

But put it on a planet, even a small satellite-level planet like the moon, this alloy armor production capacity is not enough.

...It’s not that I can’t afford it.

If we really have to issue a fatal order and mobilize all the production capacity at one go, if we spend more time, we can really roll it out.

But...it doesn’t feel very cost-effective!

"In fact, for a structure of this level, there is no need to use our optimized 'nano grid resistant steel alloy',"

Akashi couldn't help but remind him,

"Have you forgotten? The original 'Dragon Scale Armor' on the Aether Dragon is not an alloy itself.

It is just a composite mineral with a nano-lattice structure. "

"Let's just copy the gourd and lay the dragon scale armor on the outer structure!"
