The Witch's Taste

Chapter 332: The Golden Fleet is not as good as the Brood
Speaking of the golden fleet, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the super giant mothership.

No matter how powerful the main battleships are, no matter how massive the cruisers are, without the super giant mothership, it can only be regarded as a relatively powerful "fleet".The so-called "golden fleet" certainly needs to have a golden core.

However, the situation of starship humans is special.They only have a mothership and no fleet ocean...

Therefore, if we must be more serious, we have to remove the "fleet" of the "Golden Fleet" and only have the core mothership. No matter how powerful it is, it is just a target.

Because of this, in the residential area of ​​Forever, the most expensive house in the central area is more than three times more expensive than in the edge area, because people instinctively feel that "living in edge areas is less safe."

"If a powerful escort fleet can be formed, then everyone will feel more confident about living on a starship, right?" Tianshangyuan and Hua suggested, "House prices in the fringe areas of residential areas can also rise!"

"Rising house prices won't help us either," Suzuna Tsukimiya said weakly.

Since that night, although she has not suffered any physical damage, she seems to have been severely hit mentally, and she has not recovered yet.

"That's not the case!" Tianshangyuan Hehua said seriously, "People, even if they live a life with a monthly salary of less than [-] yuan, as long as the house at home increases from [-] square meters to [-] square meters, they will immediately feel happy. The happiness of 'My assets have increased tenfold'!"

"This kind of happiness is too cheap." Tsukimiya Suzuna sighed, "But it is indeed in line with human nature. The question is where do we get the ship from?"

"Can we build a starship now?" Chen Ziang confirmed and asked, "For example, starting from the most basic torpedo boat?"

"No." Yuuki Izumo's answer was straightforward.

"Where exactly is it stuck?"

"engine."

"Engine..." Chen Ziang muttered.

The most core equipment on the starship is the engine. Because it must have the ability to achieve three motion states (jump, sublight speed, low speed), its internal structure is huge and extremely complex, and it is difficult to completely restore it even if you purchase the finished product and reverse engineer it.

Currently, there are only three companies in the universe that have the ability to manufacture starship engines. The most technologically advanced one is of course the Federation Bakht Group, which specializes in energy technology, followed by the Imperial Military Industries, which ranks first in reverse engineering technology, and finally the Federation Enterprise Alliance "Secret of the Soul" which has a different approach. .

Although the technical routes of these three companies are different, their prevention systems are exactly the same: those who master the core technology are absolutely loyal experts, and there is absolutely no possibility of betraying the company - because of this, no matter how many humans the starships poach, , and it is impossible to poach employees from the engine department.

This is nerve-wracking... huh?

Chen Ziang stared at the careless Tsukimiya Suzuna, and suddenly realized a problem that had been ignored before.

Where did the engines of the Forever Mothership... come from?
----------

"I have a blueprint for this," Tsukimiya Suzuna said frankly, "but I can't use it."

"The Forever starship is a mechanical creation formed by the metal life form 'Zeta' by melting metal. Its underlying technical principles are completely different from the current technology trees of elves and humans."

"The design drawings I have are also a legacy of their race's civilization. Today's Forever's ability to navigate the universe and resist physical and energy attacks are all due to my instructions for them to follow the design drawings. It was reproduced exactly as it was, but not only do I not understand the principle, but even they may not be able to understand it.”

"I understand, it's like you picked up a black box left behind by an ancient civilization." Chen Ziang said thoughtfully, "Although you don't know anything about the structure inside, it can be used."

"That's it." Tsukimiya Suzuna replied, "If we want to use our human technology to recreate such a black box according to the design drawings, it is basically impossible...the basic materials used on both sides are different. How to make it?"

Chen Ziang pondered for a moment and suddenly asked:

"Where did you get the design drawings?" "Three thousand parsec arm." Tsukimiya Suzuna replied, "Over there near the center of the galaxy..."

She suddenly had a whim and asked suddenly:

"How about we go explore there again and see if we can find more design drawings? Just you and me?"

"I can't pretend not to hear this." Xia Zili's voice sounded from behind.

Tsukimiya Suzuna immediately lowered her face and said coldly:
"How long have you been listening in the back?"

"It didn't take long." Xia Zili said lightly, "Since you said 'no need'."

"Weren't you eavesdropping from the beginning?"

"I can't help it. I want to prevent you from lying, so I came here to confirm." Xia Zili sneered and said to Chen Zi'ang, "Don't look at her pretending to be harmless to humans and animals. In her previous life, she was a very famous star. The King of Rags, he will put everything he picks up in the interstellar ruins into his ship."

"The ruins she mentioned, as long as she has explored them once, she must have dug deep into the ground and taken away everything she could. There is no possibility that she could still find something missing after a second exploration..." To put it bluntly, I just want to kidnap you out for a date."

"Is that so?" Chen Ziang looked at Tsukinomiya Suzuna suspiciously.

"No!" Tsukimiya Suzuna protested, "No matter how rigorous the search is, there is definitely the possibility of missing it!"

"So you don't deny that you're kidnapped and taken out for a date, right?!"

The three of them had a lively quarrel as usual, but in the end the fleet problem was still not resolved, which made Chen Ziang depressed.

"Why don't we directly attack the Bakht Group's starship factory before leaving and kidnap the experts in the engine department?" Tsukimiya Suzuna once again had a whim.

"It's useless." Xia Zili objected. "The experts are most likely from the elves, and their families are all in the Aegelaos star region. It is impossible for them to willingly follow the starship humans. And in this way, it is quite Yu directly went to war with the Bakht family."

"I think since we destroyed the gospel plan, it's equivalent to entering a state of war, right?"

"Speaking of which," Chen Ziang suddenly asked, "Did you only own the 'Eternal' mothership in your previous life, Suzuna?"

"There are three ships in total." Tsukimiya Suzuna replied, "Eternal, Eternal, and Mirai."

"Can it be disassembled and reassembled?" Chen Ziang asked thoughtfully, "Since the Forever can automatically melt metal and change the internal structure, can other motherships be able to do it as well?"

"For example, the Transient is usually a mothership of the same tonnage. Once it encounters an enemy, it will automatically break into a larger number of battleships, cruisers and frigates. As for the engine, just copy it directly from the design drawing."

"The Instantaneous itself is also made of materials from the Zeta clan. According to the design, there should be no problem, right?"

This idea opened up new ideas, so much so that Tsukimiya Suzuna couldn't help but think about the feasibility of it.

Although the Ever Given design drawing is called a black box, in fact only the engine structure cannot be understood. The rest are purely non-functional pure structures and can be adjusted arbitrarily according to the actual situation.

If you want to split a new ship from the mothership, it is just a matter of copying the engine part intact, and then taking out enough materials from the hull structure... Does it seem possible?

Just self-division or something, a bit like the Zerg in mainstream games?
