The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 262 Reverse Engineering
While negotiating with the other party, where those warships made an emergency landing, Lin Yi's preliminary independent research on the Ezki warship also officially began.

A small mother nest was first pupated on the surface of the battleship, and then a large amount of germ carpet tissue spread and multiplied, preparing to cover the entire shell of the Ezki battleship.

A large number of land workers were produced by the mother nest and entered the interior of the ship along the hatch that had been opened by the opponent before. The difference was that the forelimbs of these land workers were not entirely chelicerae, and quite a few were shaped like shadows. The three fingers of the cockroach hold their knuckles against each other.

The grip knuckles have a certain similarity with the three appendage fingers of the Ezki people, and their equipment can be used to make it easier to study the entire battleship. Those normal tasks can be used for tasks such as violent demolition, or pupating more mother nests.

Creep organizations continue to spread. Their role is to determine the internal structural details of the Ezki battleship and analyze its design concepts - these concepts will become Lin Yi's next step to improve space creatures, and even build real ones that are not transitional products like today. Important reference data for biological starships.

Countless examples from the past and present show that whether it is a surface ship or a space battleship, the "soft" design and layout of such a super project that accommodates a large number of members and various systems is as important as the "hard" technology.

How to arrange the transmission or energy transmission means between the engine and the power unit to reduce transmission losses, how to store ammunition to take into account convenience and safety, how to arrange the weapon system to obtain the maximum projection capacity, everything, all made Lin Yi's previous life In this era, a powerful navy also requires long-term experience accumulation.

For example, the motherland of his previous life chose to spend a lot of money to buy an abandoned ship hull before building an aircraft carrier, the most complicated and frightening large-scale maritime combat platform with many aspects to consider. This is enough to illustrate its complexity - and at the same time, As a matter of fact, it is best to have previous experience as a reference.

For space battleships, the complexity of the design must be just a little more. In fact, Lin Yi didn't even know the concept of space warfare, and the overall design was completely dark - the design of the space creatures made a lot of reference to Bao's original plan. The missing parts were basically copied from the experience of naval battles. Use any part to think about it. We all know it’s unreliable.

Even if they use the same materials and technology level, space creatures will never be an opponent of the Ezki battleship when fighting alone. Previously, they only relied on absolute superiority in numbers to win.

Fortunately, now, a ready-made opportunity is in front of Lin Yi. Three alien battleships bring not only advanced technology, but also better design concepts, which can be called the best reference template.

The mushroom carpet proliferated, and the workers and more produced ancient web-winged flying insects explored each cabin one by one. The rough anatomy of the Ezki battleship slowly appeared in Lin Yi's consciousness, and he analyzed it to generate a suitable Nest scheme.

The existence of the nest group gives the warship a unique advantage - the life support system, crew accommodation and living space that takes up a lot of space can be removed simply and crudely, saving a lot of space.

From a structural perspective alone, the design of the Ezki battleship is very different from Lin Yi's space creature.

In terms of armaments, its main weapon, since it is a directed energy weapon, is not installed on the central axis. Instead, a spherical turret at the bow accommodates a large number of focusing structures, while the main laser is arranged at the rest of the bow.

There are many types of secondary weapons, such as missile vertical launch units similar to those of later surface ships, smaller directed energy weapon arrays, and some electromagnetic gun-based kinetic energy weapons. As Lin Yi speculated, the sufficient propulsion power brought by nuclear fusion quality, making kinetic energy weapons beyond the central axis possible. However, except for those rotating tube electromagnetic close-in defense guns, the main kinetic energy secondary weapon array is located under the hull. It consists of electromagnetic weapons with larger caliber and moderate muzzle velocity. It seems to be mainly responsible for orbital bombing of planetary surfaces.

In terms of power system, since the high-temperature plasma generated by nuclear fusion reaction is a natural propulsion medium, the fusion engine is located at the rear of the battleship and is directly connected to the nozzle on the stern. Multiple sets of nozzles and various special designs allow it to flexibly change direction. Adjust your posture.

This structure allows the Ezki warship to have two sets of radiator structures. One set is located in the front and middle section of the hull and is a weapon radiator. The other set is located at the stern and is an engine radiator. The design of the radiator has been modified to look like two For short wings, it is not inconsistent at all, but has a sense of science fiction.

The specific design was analyzed quickly, and the computer computer brain on the surface of Mars was already operating at full capacity for the first time and began to digest the design concept of the Ezki battleship.

What's left is to wait for technical exchanges with the other party to obtain the technologies that Lin Yi is most concerned about, the controllable nuclear fusion reactor and the hyperlight engine - both of which were from the era of Lin Yi's previous life. Black technology that only exists in imagination.

In the Ezki research ship located on the Rhine River, several special ancient Dictyoptera flying insects entered the cabin and conducted technical exchanges with the scientific researchers who were quickly organized on the other side's research ship.

Among them, controllable nuclear fusion technology has been somewhat touched upon by later generations of mankind, and Lin Yi is also researching it himself, so it is relatively simple - just refer to the other party's configuration, and give Lin Yi some time, and he can figure it out himself.

Later generations have long understood the principle of nuclear fusion. What limits the emergence of controllable nuclear fusion is just a simple but fatal problem - existing materials cannot withstand the astonishing high temperatures of nuclear fusion reactions.

Stars are natural nuclear fusion reactors, and their strong gravity constrains the high-temperature plasma produced by fusion, preventing it from becoming an uncontrollable one-time fusion reaction, but continuing to burn.

But in an artificial environment, you need to use some tricky methods - the principle of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor used by the Ezki people is the magnetic confinement method that is considered the most feasible in later generations, that is, through a ring-shaped device that is called a Tokamak device by later generations of humans. The magnetic confinement device confines high-temperature plasma clusters to form an artificial miniature star.

In later generations, the main problem with tokamak magnetic confinement devices was that the energy required to generate the confinement magnetic fluid exceeded even the energy that a fusion reactor could produce. But for the Ezki people who have advanced in materials science, this problem will inevitably be solved.

After acquiring a large amount of new relevant theoretical knowledge, a biological nuclear fusion reactor belonging to the Nest Group began production on the surface of Mars - this will be the key for the Nest Group to move deeper into the star sea.
