The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

10. Research projects

CF/A-17 Ghost Fighter, the main fighter of the Terran Empire from StarCraft.

Tang Xiao also discovered that the CF/A-17 Wraith fighter that can be researched and manufactured now is only an early model, and does not have a pulsed laser for ground attack.

But no matter what, the Wraith fighter is an excellent fighter that can fight in the atmosphere and the universe at the same time, and in the plot of "StarCraft" it is also an excellent fighter that has been proven in the war with the Protoss and Zerg.

Moreover, the late model of this fighter will also be equipped with a stealth system, becoming a truly terrifying killer-a stealth fighter!

Although the current technology system of the mothership belongs to "Homeland", if you want to build a ghost fighter, you must overcome the gap in production technology and technology between "Homeland" and "StarCraft", but Tang Xiao believes that this difficulty must be overcome!

As a technology product of the human system, the resources needed to digest and analyze the technology of the Terran Empire in "StarCraft" should still be under control.

Seeing that the manager had already made up his mind, Qi Jian didn't continue to pester him. As a subordinate, he needs to put forward his opinions and concerns, and then let Tang Xiao make a decision. Now all he had left was to obey.

Tang Xiao called Daphne Clement and asked, "Now in the warehouse of the mothership, there is also a modular building for the Engineering Research Institute? How large is it?"

Clement replied: "Considering the dangers of engineering research and many experiments requiring a lot of space, the mothership carries a modular scientific research space station. It can accommodate about 200 experts Experiments and research are carried out inside."

"Give instructions to the people in the engineering department to start building this engineering research space station immediately, and it would be best to start operation today!" Tang Xiao ordered.

"yes!"

Tang Xiao opened the character awakening database of the mothership, and began to search for suitable candidates in it. Among the elite, he found three engineering experts, woke them up and called them to the bridge.

The three experts, two female and one male, were all between 30 and 40 years old. When they saw Tang Xiao, they saluted very respectfully, and the leading female expert said, "Hi, manager. My name is Guan Yan, an expert in energy science." .This is Dr. Feng Yongwang, an expert in mechanics, and this is Dr. Qu Xuewen, an expert in materials science."

Tang Xiao was also polite, and directly assigned tasks to them, "I need to start the research of two projects at the same time, one is the infrared laser weapon, and the other is this kind - the research of the CF/A-17 ghost fighter. What are the requirements? , I will try my best to be satisfied.”

Guan Yan frowned and thought for a while and said: "The research on infrared laser weapons... requires a physics laboratory. It is best to equip me with at least 20 people majoring in physics. But this fighter..."

She handed the data to the male expert, "What do you think? Dr. Feng."

Wearing glasses, Feng Yongwang looked at the Wraith Fighter and shook his head slightly, "There are many technological systems in it that are different from ours. Although it is not impossible to overcome this problem, it may take longer. Dr. Qu and I together Let’s get together, let’s do some preparatory work first, the initial staffing doesn’t need to be too much, 5 mechanical majors are enough. After that, I will propose more personnel and material requirements one after another.”

"What time?" Tang Xiao asked.

"The complete data is here, so the research and application of infrared laser weapons should be completed within one month." Dr. Guan Yan replied.

"It's hard to say about the Wraith Fighter. Although the data is complete, it will take a year to analyze it to the extent that we can use it and produce it. It would be great if there are experts at the master level to lead my team. With more and better talents joining, our research progress will be greatly improved." Feng Yongwang said.

"I will fully cooperate with personnel and supplies, let's start working first. Thanks to you." Tang Xiao nodded and said.

"Where is it, manager. You are the one at the helm, and we just need to do our job well. We should be the ones to thank you." Qu Xuewen said to Tang Xiao with a smile.

"I will make a list of requirements." Guan Yan said.

No matter where it is, scientific research is a labor-intensive and time-consuming activity... Seeing the long list of materials constantly appearing on the screen, Tang Xiao maintained a smile on the surface, but his heart was bleeding.

Now the colony has finally begun to improve, and has some material reserves, and now it is all thrown to the scientific research team with a snap.

...

The Outer Rim of the Galaxy, the Western Territory, the Mordel Sector, and Hyperspace.

"It's about to jump out of hyperspace, it's time to wake up, my dear." On a disc-shaped Corellian YT-1000 light ship, a human woman controlling the ship said to the pilot next to her.

Dozing off in the driver's seat was a man in his mid-thirties who shook his head and said, "I'm really starting to miss Corellian fizz, and I have to go home and get a good night's sleep after finishing this order." Think, um, at least three days."

"The Corellian galaxy is not a place where low-level people like us can live, Quinto. I prefer it now, free and unrestrained." The woman walked over and kissed her lover on the forehead.

"The damn machine has a problem again!" There was a curse from the rear cabin, and then there was a bang. It should be that someone kicked the machine, and then a Rodian came out.

The Rodian looks like an upright seahorse, with bulging eyelids and mouthparts protruding like straws. This is a hunting nation. Even if they join the Galactic Republic and enter the interstellar era, they will be more engaged in the work of bounty hunters.

"What happened? Spud." Quinto asked back.

"Ah, there's no big problem, it's just that you'll die. Felassie, you should be able to see the seventh indicator light on your left blinking abnormally, right?" the Rodian said angrily.

The woman looked back, and immediately cried out, "Oh my God! The hyperspace shunt didn't respond! How could this happen!!" She frantically frantically operated on the console, but it didn't work at all.

"Well, now we can only hope that we won't be torn apart when we leave hyperspace." Spade spread his arms and sat down on the ground to accept his fate.

"The hyperspace shunt protects us from being torn apart by physical phenomena when we leave hyperspace. If this thing malfunctions, it is impossible for us to start the hyperspace jump. So, if we hadn't gone through eight lifetimes of luck now If something goes wrong during the jump, it's..." Before Quinto finished speaking, the spaceship left the hyperspace.

If you look outside, you will see that the spaceship appears in space almost instantly from scratch.

After a violent shock, they finally stabilized the spacecraft. Kunto looked at the huge monster in front of him, and murmured, "That's man-made..."

"The spirit of Karaya... what is this!!" Felassie was stunned when he saw the terrifying scene in front of him.

It can be seen on the radar that a huge crescent-shaped spacecraft is slowly moving in the synchronous orbit of the planet. The ship was so massive that all they could see from the portholes of their YT-1000 lightship was an endless wall of metal!
