Chapter 713 Void-Class Battleship, Quantum Field Engine
Lasti Star Country.
It has been 2031 years since the last time I returned from the interstellar farm.
Yan Xia looked at the time.
It was already 223457 AD.
"Mr. President, do you care about time too?"
At this time, a worker walked by, and the time Yan Xia saw came from a square clock, which aroused the worker's curiosity.
If the time went back a few hundred years, a worker would not dare to talk to Yan Xia.
But with contact, everyone knows that the absolute power holder of Super Star Technology Company at this time is actually very amiable.
Yan Xia moved his eyes away from time and said:
"Time witnesses the meaning of all existence, whether it is the past, present or future, time can also measure the value of many things, such as the White Dragon spacecraft, which was still okay thousands of years ago, but now it has become a thing of the past."
His eyes finally fixed on a giant battleship in the distance at this time.
It seems not too far, as the entire battleship fills Yan Xia's entire field of vision.
But if measured by specific numbers, the battleship is actually 13 kilometers away from Yan Xia.
Maybe it's nothing for the scale of the universe, but for a single creature, it's still a very long distance. It won't shorten just because the speed of life is faster now, because light doesn't shorten, and people don't become 100-meter giants.
The overall color of the battleship is very light, even a little transparent.
There is no superfluous and complex design on the entire ship, no shells, no windows, it's all one.
From the side, it looks like an arch bridge.
From the front, it's a spindle.
From above, it looks like the ancient Greek letter "θ".
To put it simply, the front and back sides of θ are bent downward, and the left and right sides are not arc-shaped, but narrow like a blade.
It's very unique.
Its name is "Ghost".
Ghost Battleship.
Yan Xia has been preparing for it for too long.
It is a perfect battleship integrated with all the top technologies. Yan Xia is sure that there will be no more advanced battleship in the entire human civilization than this battleship.
At this time.
There are countless mechanical arms operating inside and outside the battleship, and many workers are debugging.
But this is already the final stage.
"That's true, but it shouldn't be time that changes, but us, Mr. President."
The worker thinks his efforts are more worthy of praise.
Yan Xia smiled after hearing this.
"You don't need to be jealous of time, because time itself is one of our things. We give it a name and we use it."
"It's a tool, no different from the Gundam you drive."
Gundam! ?
The worker was confused after hearing this name.
"What is Gundam? Mr. President, we only have engineering robots."
Yan Xia nodded.
"It's an engineering robot. It's an enlarged humanoid mecha, isn't it? Very tall, and very advanced and developed."
The workers of this era don't understand this name.
In addition to Yan Xia, only Ella knows.
Yan Xia's words made the workers even more confused.
As far as he knows, engineering robots are very backward products. He came from a combat mecha design more than 100,000 years ago, and was later used by an engineering equipment company. A total of 100,000 units were produced, and finally the company went bankrupt.
Because the legs and body of this type of factory robot are completely redundant, what is the use of them in the universe?
Just use a head with two hands or more hands.
And the reason why they are used now.
Because that company was founded by a founder of Super Star Technology Group. In the spirit of waste utilization, these robots have been in service here for nearly 1,000 years.
Thinking of this.
The worker suddenly realized.
But then he found that his idea was wrong.
Does the president also need to send someone to flatter him?
And that person should not be here now.
The worker couldn't understand.
For the first time, he realized that his ideas were so different from those of his superiors.
Is there something wrong with his way of thinking?
What he understands as common sense is actually not trying?
The worker thought for a long time, and when he came back to his senses from his doubts, Yan Xia had left.
"Dass, how long will it take for the battleship to land?"
"This is just the first 15,000-meter-class battleship. If it takes so long, the production speed of the subsequent void-class spaceships may not be guaranteed!"
Yan Xia walked on a steel beam. Although it is called a beam, it is actually 30 meters wide, like a main road.
It is a supporting beam for the entire factory. Yan Xia can take a shortcut back to his office from here.
He connected to Das's communication.
Dass was the robot who received him before, and now he has been promoted to the manager of the entire factory.
Compared to people, Yan Xia is still used to arranging things for robots.
"Sir, if there is no subsequent request from you, this battleship should have been put into use 573 years ago."
"It is an extremely bold attempt to use a new engine on a battleship. After all, the new engine has no experience in risk investigation under long-term operation."
"What's more, this new engine is a super-new technology that has never been used in the entire human civilization. The investment in this engine alone is probably more than the entire battleship before."
Dass looked helpless.
As a robot with intelligence, it is no different from ordinary life.
It also has various emotions.
So in response to Yan Xia's series of unreasonable demands and blaming them after these demands, it must make a reasonable explanation, which is also a silent accusation.
"Then can you determine the production capacity of subsequent spacecraft every 100 years?"
The time to manufacture the battleship now has far exceeded Yan Xia's original plan.
It is now time for the ghost spacecraft to be fully produced.
"It depends on your requirements. If we use the same engine, I estimate that we can only produce 0.2 units every 100 years. We don't have the ability to mass-produce this engine yet."
"But if we use the original engine, thanks to your strict requirements over the years, we are familiar with the production details of the ghost ship. I estimate that in the first 1,000 years, our production capacity will break through 50 ships every 100 years. After 1,000 years, we will start mass production and climb to 150 to 170 ships."
Dass's words made Yan Xia give up his eager heart.
The new engine was developed from the creature that could affect the quantum field that he had captured.
Yan Xia knew that it could be applied to the power system of the warship, so he asked the power research department to invest in research.
In the end, it was indeed made.
And it was just as Yan Xia thought.
This quantum field engine can increase the speed of the warship by 30%. The original ghost warship only had s in the rapid state, but now it can reach 123,878km/s, which is a qualitative improvement.
But...
The development cost of the new technology is too high.
It even caused the Super Star Technology Group to face the risk of a broken capital chain for a period of time.
Fortunately, it is a monopoly enterprise, and after decades of delay, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But it has not really recovered until now.
"Of course, the ghost battleship must be as perfect as possible. I heard that the Federation has started mass production of 100,000 meters per second-class battleships. If we still stay below 100,000 meters per second, the battleship will fall behind."
Yan Xia was looking for an excuse.
