Chapter 136 Creation Zerg, Pandora's Box
Yan Xia only saw the embryo of the biological warship, which was still very small.
"Is there a completed biological warship?"
He was eager to see what the warship would look like when it grew up.
However, Ella replied that there was no such thing. In fact, the plan had been implemented for a long time, but due to genetic problems, the biological warship could never be fully grown.
This is normal. Even if a mouse-sized creature is created, extremely detailed genetic programming is required. This programming is no simpler than writing a computer program.
Moreover, a general computer program can run even if there are bugs, but if there are bugs in biological genes, it will only crash.
After all, life is not like a computer. If you have a blue screen, restarting will solve all problems.
If life dies, how to restart?
Various factors combined together make it difficult to break through the technology of biological warships.
"Our largest biological warship is only 812 meters long." Ella felt very sorry. In fact, at this stage, Ella, as an artificial intelligence, has fallen into a bottleneck period. It can't do anything like before.
This is the limitation of the underlying technology, and it is also a limitation in terms of energy.
An 812-meter warship is still capable in a level 1 civilization, but in a level 2 civilization, it can only be said to be small and cute.
But it is fresh enough for Yan Xia.
"Take me to see it."
Yan Xia walked directly from area A2 to area S92, winding for at least 30 kilometers on the way. The entire research institute area seemed to be carved out of a template in Yan Xia's eyes. Not only was it all pure white, but it also had a similar layout, and there were even no road signs.
It was not until he walked out of the white research institute and the temperature around him began to rise that Yan Xia knew he had arrived.
It passed through a dark tunnel, and when he felt a soft touch under his feet, he realized that he had actually entered the interior of the spacecraft directly.
"This is the door."
Yan Xia looked forward and saw the flesh and blood in front of him squirming for a while, then slowly opened, revealing a hole.
The inside of the hole was not dark, but extremely bright.
These lights came from the flesh and blood of the biological warship itself, and Yan Xia suddenly understood how those luminous creatures in the boiling sea came from.
But in fact, Yan Xia would rather not have these lights.
The interior of this biological warship is really not very good-looking. Entering it is like walking in the intestines of an unknown creature, and it also emits a foul smell.
"It is impossible for a biological warship to grow its own internal equipment, so many things need to be secured later."
"For example, this tunnel will be isolated with milky white translucent glass, which can allow light to pass through while blocking the smell and appearance of flesh and blood."
"The size of the internal space of the entire biological warship is no different from that of a mechanical warship, and the creature itself replaces the outer shell."
"The reason why research and development is so difficult is that we want the biological warship to become harder."
Yan Xia entered the interior. In fact, some equipment was installed here, but it was very simple. It was obvious that this warship was just a semi-finished product.
He asked the Quark Robot to directly turn off its sense of smell, so that it could enter the interior of the warship smoothly.
Going straight to the control room, it is full of surveillance equipment, where you can see the scene outside the spacecraft.
However, these cameras are not installed on the biological warship, but on the surrounding walls to observe the situation of the biological warship.
This is an extended version of the horseshoe crab, or a horseshoe crab with an extended and widened tail.
It is not soft on the outside, but has a shell, which makes it more like an exoskeleton bug than a mammal, bird or fish.
"As long as the structure of any material is tight, the defense will be improved, not limited to metal."
"It's just that compared with other materials, metal is more stable, so it is widely used."
"The shell strength of this biological warship is close to 007179 steel, and it has reached the passing line."
007179 steel is a relatively old steel. Iron is the most stable element in the universe. Even if the Civilization Federation can now manufacture elements, there is still no element that is more stable than iron. Therefore, iron is still widely used in the Civilization Federation. Whether it is in buildings, spacecraft or warships, it is a cheap and reliable material.
The half-life of 007179 steel is 2.6 million years. Its density reaches 27.26g/cm³, hardness is 13, melting point is 18000 degrees Celsius, and strength is 6812Mpa. The performance of all aspects has not reached an excellent level, and it can only be said to be barely enough.
"What is the maximum speed of this warship? If it is fully grown, how many meters can it reach?" Yan Xia observed carefully and found that this biological warship still had many imperfections. He suspected that this biological warship was a complete metamorphosis.
Complete metamorphosis means that the appearance of the creature in childhood and adulthood is very different, just like a change of form.
"The maximum speed of the warship depends on the propeller, and its physical strength only affects the acceleration. We have control over gravity technology, so we can actually ignore the problem of acceleration."
"If the research of the Light Wing scholar we met before is successful, we will also make great progress in the field of acceleration."
"The first generation of biological warships is planned to be over 100,000 meters long. The theoretical technical support can reach about 20,000 meters, but we have not yet cultivated individuals of 20,000 meters."
Ella introduced and explained them to Yan Xia one by one.
This is an immature plan, but Ella believes that it is not far from maturity.
"The research on biological warships has also inspired the development of another biotechnology."
"That is biological soldiers."
"The biological soldier plan is not to create life like the War Beasts, but to create a group like the Death Squad."
"They can reproduce infinitely and have an infinite number. With such advantages, they can consume the enemy's energy for us."
"The war in the universe is not only a psychological warfare, an arms race, but also an energy war."
"Powerful weapons often consume more energy. More such Death Squads can reduce the casualties of our regular army."
"This is a mature technology. Yan Xia, you should also know it very well. Its name is Zerg."
Ancient electronic game.
It was one of the first generation of e-sports games born when human network technology was just emerging, the creatures in StarCraft.
Yan Xia had not planned to create the Zerg before, because he always felt that it was a Pandora's box, and he was not sure whether he would become a Xel'Naga and be attacked by the Zerg.
But now that it has been truly created, he feels that this is exactly what they need.
The universe is too dangerous. If we are hesitant, how can we deal with the Olive Branch Civilization?
"Perhaps this will not be the first Pandora's box we open."
Science itself is a process of exploring taboos.
