Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

75. The storm is coming

“Apart from this we still need a series of improvements.” Chi Jianjun said: “The first is the update of the laser weapon, in the follow-up CFA-17G model of Wraith Fighter , equipped with pulse laser cannon. This laser cannon is a weapon that combines laser and plasma. The principle is similar to the turbolaser cannon in this universe, but the power is weaker and the firing rate is faster. The pulse laser runs the same shooting. It will cause an explosion, which is more suitable for dealing with large targets.”

Tang Xiao noddéd motioned for Professor Chi to continue.

“The next step is to add a hyperspace engine to the Wraith Fighter, which is currently more difficult. Because we don’t have a miniaturized hyperspace engine technology yet, my suggestion is to go to the black market to find out if there is a small hyperspace The engine is sold and can be used off the shelf. But this will affect the shape of the Wraith Fighter, maybe affect the maneuverability in the atmosphere, and more experiments are needed.”

“Finally, the cloak The development of the system. As I said before, there is also stealth technology in the existing Kushan Civilization technology library, but the effect is slightly worse. However, the advantage is that the research can be completed within three months, so that it has stealth ability. The Wraith Fighter is the real ghost on the battlefield.”

Professor Chi said with satisfaction, “I have given you the best sword, make good use of this sword, Fight for more things for our Fourth Civilization!”

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

“Professor Chi, you…” Tang Xiao started, and hurried over to support Chi Jianjun, only to find his face pale.

“Hehe, it’s alright, it’s just that I have a bad appetite recently.” Chi Jianjun smiled and shook ones head.

“Professor Chi recently slept only two or three hours a day in order to complete the development of Wraith Fighter as soon as possible,” said one scientist.

“Send Old Chi back to Planet Dawn for a period of training, and call Feng Yongwang over. During the time when Old Chi is resting, he will take the lead in the research work of the Engineering Science Department.” Tang Xiao immediately ordered, he lowered his head and said to the old man: “Don’t worry, Professor Chi, our Fourth Civilization, will definitely rise again in this galaxy!”

……

Wraith Production of the Fighter began almost immediately, with 20 Wraith Fighters rolling off the production line in a week’s time, and production will ramp up after the mothership’s production workshop is overhauled.

And the refit and repair of the captured Hammerhead-class Cruiser is also in full swing. The design of this battleship is indeed too old. The propulsion 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 close-in cannons installed by Keuken, the battleship space actually has one third more space than before. So at Tang Xiao’s suggestion, the extra space was used as a hangar.

Hammerhead-class Cruiser was originally equipped with Aurek-class Fighter, but now it is naturally replaced with Wraith Fighter. But since the Wraith Fighter is twice the size of the Aurek-class Fighter, it’s not enough without increasing the hangar space.

It is expected that the Hammerhead-class Cruiser will be able to carry 18 Wraith Fighters and two shuttles after the increase in the hangar space. Under the powerful combat capability of the Wraith Fighter, the combat capability of the cruiser will increase linearly.

The modification work will take another month, and Tang Xiao is also unhurried for a while. He doesn’t have much free time now besides dealing with various government affairs every day, and meditating on the Cultivation Force at Planet Dawn, and now Fourth Civilization needs to seize every minute of development.

…

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

Broderick Gravel, the notorious vicious and merciless bandit who used to mix between Mid Rim Territories and Outer Rim Territories, suddenly came to Tatooine to smash and loot.

Originally this is nothing new. In Tatooine, it will be called news when things settle down one day.

But this time, things have gone terribly big! !

Outskirts of Mos Espa, Boonta Eve Podracer Track.

In the huge starting station square, dozens of podracers are neatly lined up, and skilled workers are skillfully making the final preparations for the racing.

The podracer consists of two high-power antigravity engines pulling a cockpit bucket, which can run at terrifying speeds of almost 900 km/h. 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 because of this, podracing has become a feast for the blood.

Visitors from various star systems around gather here to watch this well-known race competition in the galaxy, accompanied by a huge amount of gambling.

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

Around the square of the departure station, countless audience members cheered. They all held live broadcast terminals in their hands. Even if they were sitting in the auditorium of the departure station, they could watch the race competition all the way.

The rumbling sound of the car’s engine resounds 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 buy tickets. Such people actually make up the majority in Tatooine, but poverty can’t stop them Passion for racing.

Among 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 soft light brown hair, a little freckles on his round face, and his eyes full of spirituality.

He stared at those racing cars, his eyes full of envy and longing, his hand gripping mother’s shirt more and more hard, “mother, when I grow up, I will also participate in the Boonta Eve Classic!!”

mother stroked his smooth hair and said softly, “foolish child, 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, but turned his head to look at the cars on the track from a distance through the gap of the crowd. He bit his lip and seemed to have made up his mind.

The rumbling sound of the engine on the field is getting louder and louder, and the audience’s emotions are getting more and more frenzied. Just when the commentator was roaring and introducing the racer information, the mutation suddenly happened! !

bang! ! A violent explosion suddenly exploded in the square! A podracer was directly hit, and the pilot and the surrounding technicians were directly bombed to the sky!
