Chapter 426 Shocking Discovery
What, the mass of a battleship is equivalent to that of a planet, are you serious?
Luo Lan was stunned.
Silas on the other side naturally noticed it as well and explained it immediately.
"Marshal, degenerate material is a kind of ultra-high-density material. A single 1 mm cubic piece of degenerate material can weigh up to ten tons. The thickest part of the outer armor of our warships can reach almost ten meters. Add to that the size of the warship..."
"If all this is done with degenerate materials, then the overall quality is really no joke."
"Even the core of the jump engine I just mentioned is only about three cubic centimeters in size, and such a small thing..."
"It's already tens of thousands of tons!!"
Wow, 3 cubic centimeters, the weight is almost equal to an amphibious assault ship in my previous life?
Outrageous, too outrageous.
It seems that it cannot be used as armor for warships, otherwise...
It’s just like Silas said, it can’t be pushed!
No, it’s not that it cannot be pushed at all. After escaping the gravitational pull of the planet, it can still be pushed.
However, with the current propulsion system of King's Landing...
Maybe it could be accelerated to 1m/s in a year?
"Okay, I'm just asking. If it doesn't work, forget it!"
"Marshal, that's not impossible!"
"Huh? Do you have any idea?"
"It's not that there is no solution. If we only protect some key locations on the warship, and simply add a layer of degenerate material outside the original armor at these locations, not too much, just one micron thick, it can actually greatly improve the warship's survivability!"
"For example, the bridge, engine room, ammunition depot, and energy compartment."
"Although the warship's mass will still increase, it is generally controllable. We can also design engines with greater thrust or increase the number of engines on the new generation of warships to offset the reduced speed."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's eyes lit up.
Yes, although it is impossible for every battleship to withstand the full force of a king-level combat force, if this is done, the battleship will not be destroyed instantly, and for combat forces below the king level, it can still be used for nearly invincible defense.
OK, great!
"Just do it!"
"Silas, contact the Ship Design Bureau and ask them to revise the design of the next generation of warships immediately. Redo the jump engine, the outer layer of degenerate material coating, and the engine."
"Wait a month or half a month, and once the super space factory is completed, we will start construction immediately!"
Luo Lan clapped his hands and made a decision immediately.
"Yes, Marshal!"
------
After 8 days.
The First Fleet of the King's Space Army once again crossed a cosmic current and arrived at another star system.
Here, there is also a planet with life, and...
There is also a three-star pirate group called Bloody Hand stationed there.
According to the standards of the Sanxing Pirates, there should be 1-3 emperor-level generals in the group.
That is to say, his strength is roughly equivalent to that of an admiral or one of the stronger Four Emperors in the world of pirates.
But for the First Fleet, this was not a problem at all.
too easy!
Taotu didn't even have the desire to take action.
Not to mention taking action, she was even too lazy to give orders.
He just waved his hand and asked his adjutant to convey the order to attack.
Then, he leaned back in his chair and continued to study various books on space navigation issued by the Science Department.
Inside the bridge, there were constant voices of orders being issued, more reports being made, and more...
Taotu is quietly reading a book on the captain's chair.
This picture is weird no matter how you look at it.
Until more than an hour later.
"general?"
"How long has it been?"
Taotu put down the book and asked.
"About half an hour!"
"Well, how's the situation out there?"
"Everything has been resolved. Our people are currently clearing out the remaining enemies inside the planet!"
"What, it's been resolved, and everyone has started to clean up the battlefield?"
"Yes, General!"
Taotu was a little confused.
I read a book for half an hour, but the war has already been fought and you have even started cleaning up the battlefield and the aftermath?
Is it necessary to be so efficient?
Speaking of which, is this three-star pirate group so weak?
In fact, he is really not weak!
If it were placed in the world of pirates, it would be a pirate group at the level of the Four Emperors.
There is a general-level strongman whose strength is almost the same as the former four emperors. In addition, there are more than 3 people with bounties of 10 million to 20 billion in the pirate world.
This is really not weak.
Of course, the premise is...
Compared with the original!
But now, this strength is really not enough in front of Jun Lin.
"Okay, then let's clean up the mess quickly and load the stuff onto the ship and ship it back!"
"Yes, General. In addition, this planet seems to have a very rich reserve of the Creation Core!"
"what?"
Taotu was stunned.
Isn't it said that even if the Three Star Pirates possess the core mineral veins of Genesis, they are usually only small mineral veins, or those that are almost exhausted due to over-exploitation?
After all, if you have a rich mine in your hands, wouldn't other high-star pirate groups find ways to force you to hand it over?
This is not a pressure that a three-star pirate group can withstand.
And what my adjutant just said was that the reserves are very abundant?
"General, please look!"
The next moment, the picture on the main screen of the bridge changed, and a scan of the planet ahead appeared.
Among them, large tracts of the core veins of creation are marked, as well as the approximate reserves in each vein.
this...
Taotu was also a little stunned.
My adjutant was not talking nonsense.
There are 2 super-large mineral veins, 7 large mineral veins, 35 medium-sized mineral veins, and more than 300 small mineral veins.
The total reserve is estimated to be over 180 million ship cores and a staggering 3800 million individual cores.
This planet...
The core mineral veins of creation are spread all over the planet. It is really exaggerated.
Although those pirates lack the technology to detect mineral veins, the mines are so dense that there is a high probability of finding something if they just dig casually. How could they be occupied by a three-star pirate group?
According to intelligence, this three-star pirate group has occupied this place for more than 300 years. The pirates who were captured before said that this is a barren planet with only a few small mineral veins that are about to be depleted.
It's hidden really deep...
"Immediately send down the exploration personnel, mining personnel, and transport ships carrying the relevant equipment that we brought with us!"
"Yes, General!"
