The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 77 The Storm is Coming
75. The storm is coming

"In addition to this, we also need a series of improvement plans." Chi Jianjun said: "The first is the update of laser weapons. In the follow-up CF/A-17G model of the Ghost fighter, a pulsed laser cannon is installed. This kind of The laser cannon is a weapon that combines laser and plasma. The principle is similar to the turbo laser cannon in this universe, but the power is weaker and the rate of fire is faster. The shooting of the pulsed laser will also cause an explosion, which is more suitable for dealing with large targets. ."

Tang Xiao nodded for Professor Chi to continue.

"The next step is to add a hyper-engine to the ghost fighter, which is relatively difficult at present. Because we do not yet have a miniaturized hyper-engine technology, my suggestion is to go to the black market to find out if there is a small-scale hyper-engine for sale, and then It can be used directly. But it will affect the shape of the Ghost fighter, maybe affect the maneuverability in the atmosphere, and more experiments are needed.”

"Finally, it's the development of the stealth system. As I said before, there is also stealth technology in the technology library of the existing Kushen civilization, but the effect is slightly worse. But the advantage is that the research can be completed within three months, so As a result, ghost fighters with stealth capabilities are truly ghosts on the battlefield."

After Professor Chi finished speaking, he said with satisfaction: "I have given you the best sword, make good use of this sword, and strive for more things for our fourth civilization!"

Before he finished speaking, his old body shook suddenly, and several scientists behind him quickly supported him.

"Professor Chi, you..." Tang Xiao was shocked, and quickly went to support Chi Jianjun, only to find that his face was pale.

"Hehe, it's alright, it's just that my appetite has been poor recently." Chi Jianjun smiled and shook his head.

"Professor Chi has only slept for two or three hours a day recently in order to complete the development of the Ghost fighter as soon as possible," said a scientist.

"Send Mr. Chi back to Dawn Planet to cultivate for a period of time, and call Feng Yongwang over. During the period of Mr. Chi's rest, the research work of the Engineering Science Department will be handed over to him to take the lead." Tang Xiao immediately ordered, he bowed his head to face The old man said: "Don't worry, Professor Chi, our fourth civilization will definitely rise again in this galaxy!"

……

Production of the Ghost fighters began almost immediately, with 20 Ghost fighters already off the production line within a week, and the production speed will be accelerated after the adjustment of the production workshop of the mothership is completed.

And the refit and maintenance of the captured Hammerhead-class cruiser is also in full swing.The design of this battleship is indeed too old, and the power system and engine take up a lot of space. The engineers completely replaced the energy and engine of the battleship, which will save a lot of space.

In addition, after they removed all the anti-aircraft guns installed by the Keuken, the space of the battleship was actually a full one third more than before.So at Tang Xiao's suggestion, all the extra space was used as a hangar.

The Hammerhead-class cruisers were originally equipped with Orek-type light fighters, but now they are naturally replaced by Ghost fighters.However, since the Ghost fighter was twice the size of the Orek fighter, it was impossible not to increase the hangar space.

It is expected that after the increase in the hangar space, this Hammerhead cruiser will be able to carry 18 ghost fighters and two shuttles. Under the powerful combat capability of the ghost fighters, the combat capability of the cruiser will increase linearly.

The modification work still needs a month, and Tang Xiao is not in a hurry.Apart from dealing with various government affairs every day and meditating on the original force on Dawn Planet, he doesn't have much free time now. Now the Fourth Civilization needs to seize every minute to develop.

……

And at this time in Tatooine, a terrible storm is coming.

Broderick-Gravel, a notoriously ruthless bandit who used to roam between the Middle and Outer Sectors, suddenly went to Tatooine to smash and loot.

Originally this was nothing new. In Tatooine, it was only news when things settled down one day.

But this time, things went horribly wrong! !

On the outskirts of Mos Espa, the Bonta Night Shuttle Racing arena.

On the huge starting station square, dozens of shuttle racing cars were neatly lined up, and skilled workers were skillfully making the final preparations for the racing cars.

A shuttle racer is a cockpit drag truck towed by two high-power anti-gravity engines that can run at a terrifying speed of almost 900 kilometers per hour.But the danger is also obvious. Car crashes and fatalities abound. It is strange that only a few people die in this kind of event.But it is precisely because of this that the shuttle racing has become a feast for people's blood.

Spectators from all the surrounding galaxies flock here to watch this galaxy-wide famous car race, accompanied by huge sums of money.

This racing competition is also the proud event of Tatooine's overlord, Jabba the Hutt, and an important source of income for him.

Around the starting station square, countless spectators cheered. They were all holding live broadcast terminals in their hands. Even if they were sitting in the audience seat of the starting station, they could watch the racing game all the way.

The roar of the car's engine resounded through the sky, stimulating everyone's hormones.

There are also many people watching from a distance outside the stadium. These people are poor people who can't afford tickets. Such people actually make up the majority in Tatooine, but poverty cannot stop their enthusiasm for racing.

In the crowd, a 6- or 7-year-old boy was being led by his young mother. Unlike the somewhat absent-minded mother, the little boy's attention was almost entirely drawn to the racing car.

The little boy is very cute, with light brown hair that is extremely soft, a little freckles on his round face, and his eyes full of spiritual brilliance.

He stared at the racing cars, his eyes full of envy and longing, and his hand gripping his mother's shirt became stronger and stronger, "Mom, when I grow up, I will also participate in the Bonta Night Race!!"

The mother stroked his smooth hair and said softly, "Silly boy, let's just have a look here. This kind of racing is not something us slaves can afford to play."

The little boy stopped talking, just turned his head to look at the cars on the track from a distance through the gap in the crowd, biting his lips lightly, as if he had made up his mind.

The roar of the engine on the field is getting louder and louder, and the mood of the audience is getting more and more frenzied. Just when the commentator is roaring and introducing the information of the racer, the sudden change! !
boom! ! !A violent explosion suddenly exploded in the square!A shuttle racing car was hit directly, and the driver and the surrounding technicians were directly blown into the sky!
