MTL - The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

47. New achievements

The biggest problem of the Fourth Civilization is the huge chasm between it and the Galactic Republic. Now they really need such a talent so that their economic system can be integrated with the Republic's system, so as to eat the last dividend before the war. .

The addition of Seymed is just a help in the midst of the misfortune.

Tang Xiao didn't worry about Semed's dissent, because there was no place for him to stand in the huge galaxy. As long as he shows up, he will immediately attract the endless pursuit of the Interstellar Banking Association.

Semed's only choice is to stay in the fourth group, and he should also understand his situation. If he can't show enough value, then Tang Xiao will definitely 'dispose of' him without hesitation, and give him by the way. Hego-Damask II sells a good one.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao felt much better. He came to the porthole and looked around the mothership. There is a lot of excitement around the mothership now, and a large number of transport ships shuttle between the gas giant planet and the five mining stations that have been expanded.

There are also a large number of transport ships passing through between the dawn planet and the mother ship. After expanding the construction, they now have more than 20 transport ships, and there are already 100 mining transport ships that can only fly in space.

Two umbrella-shaped huge space research modules with a diameter of more than 200 meters float around the mothership, captured by the mothership's own gravity, and move slowly along the synchronous orbit with the mothership. These are the Institute of Physics and Mechanical Engineering Research respectively. Place.

Among them, the Engineering Research Institute has added many auxiliary modules, and the size is even larger. It can also be seen that a spacecraft more than 30 meters long is docked outside the Engineering Research Institute. Two large turrets are installed on this spacecraft, which looks a little strange. In tune.

On the other side are two interstellar docks, one of which is still under construction. This is a small interstellar dock used by frigate-class ships. The rectangular assembly factory is about 100 meters long. Next to it are more than ten engineering cantilevers in the dock area to fix unfinished ships. From the coverage of these cantilevers, it should be possible to build Frigates with dimensions exceeding 50 meters in length.

This is also the size of a standard corvette—

According to the standards of the Fourth Civilization, aircraft below 15 meters are called light fighters;

15 to 30 meters of aircraft are called heavy fighters;

Aircraft of 30 to 50 meters are called corvettes;

50 to 80 meters are heavy frigates;

80 to 150 meters are light destroyers;

150 meters to 300 meters are heavy destroyers;

300 meters to 500 meters are light cruisers;

500 meters to 1000 meters are heavy cruisers;

Above 1000 meters is the main ship, and there are more types of main ships, such as aircraft carriers, battleships, battlecruisers and so on.

Now in that completed dock, a ship almost identical to the one that was docked outside the Engineering Institute is being assembled, but with a much more normal turret size. The structure of the spacecraft has been completed, and several robotic arms on the cantilever are installing the heavy outer armor for the spacecraft.

Around the unfinished dock, more than a dozen small engineering spaceships are constantly busy. The construction workers drove the spacecraft to take out the processed equipment parts from the mothership's manufacturing center, and then flew over to install them on the dock. It looks like the dock is still days away from completion.

Tang Xiao nodded, picked up the communicator and connected to the research room. It was Dr. Qu Xuewen who answered the call. She bowed slightly to Tang Xiao before asking, "Is there anything I can help you with? Manager."

Tang Xiao asked directly, "Has the research on the Hammer-class frigate been completed now?"

Qu Xuewen nodded and replied: "Yes, the research completed two days ago, when you were still on the dawn planet. Because Qi Jian was very tight, we started production immediately."

"By the way, the frigate parked outside your institute..."

"It doesn't look the same, doesn't it?" Qu Xuewen laughed, "This frigate is the first Hammer-class frigate we built, and the turrets above are two turbo laser turrets, which were attacked before we collected them. A relatively complete thing from the wreckage of the three bounty hunters. It would be too wasteful to install it on a transport ship, so Professor Chi is leading us to do some modifications and then figure out a way to install the turbolaser turret on the frigate.”

"Can I come and visit?"

"Yes, manager. I will report to Professor Chi immediately and make arrangements."

Take a transport ship to the Engineering Research Center. This is the first time Tang Xiao has come here. Before, he had only been to the engineering laboratory set up inside the mothership.

Now, the structure of this research center built in space is much more compact, but the equipment inside is denser and more advanced.

Tang Xiao also saw that a medium-sized blue laser cannon was being tested in a laboratory. A laser cannon with a length of more than 4 meters was erected on the frame, with dense wires and pipes behind it. With the technician's order, the laser cannon fired a blue laser beam that was not dazzling and irradiated on a target set in outer space. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

But the laser beam only irradiated the target for less than 1 second, and the pipeline behind suddenly billowed with thick smoke and sparks. The technicians quickly stopped the experiment, and several people in protective clothing rushed in with fire extinguishers and sprayed the pipeline.

Qu Xuewen came up, she followed Tang Xiao's gaze, smiled and said: "This is the prototype of the blue laser sent by Guan Yan from the physics laboratory, and it has been tested three times today. "But while blue-outside lasers are much more powerful than infrared lasers and have a longer range due to less interference due to their shorter wavelengths, our weapons platforms are not yet capable of using such advanced lasers."

She walked over and looked at the laser cannon that had been covered with fire-extinguishing foam, shook her head and said to a technician next to her: "This prototype is no longer usable. Give the data receipt to Dr. Guan Yan. Tell her about the energy conversion relay. The parameters of the generator are too high, and to make our current energy supply equipment usable, the parameters need to be reduced by at least 5%.”

"A further 5% reduction? Dr. Guan will definitely scold when he hears this..." The technician wiped away a cold sweat.

"Then let her scold the street, anyway, it's the street and not me." Qu Xuewen swept his hair, disapproving, "I'll leave it to you here, I need to accompany the manager to Professor Chi's side."

"Ah? Manager! Hello manager!" The technician saw Tang Xiao's existence and quickly bowed.

Tang Xiao nodded in return, then, accompanied by Qu Xuewen, walked to the other side while visiting the research center. Along the way, Qu Xuewen talked to Tang Xiao about the research projects and facilities here. She was obviously completely different from the female doctor in Tang Xiao's impression. She had no social fear at all. On the contrary, she talked a lot.
