Regarding crossing the storm clouds, Chu Jungui felt that he seemed to have a better idea.
Le Mans was even busier at the moment. In addition to Xiao Kai, his research subjects also included several winged beasts, and they were all alive. On more than one occasion, test subjects have seen dwarf beasts fly into storm clouds and then fly out as if nothing had happened. If it had been a human being, he would have been electrocuted into charcoal long ago. But these winged beasts were completely fine.
The test subjects feel that the secret of crossing the storm clouds should be hidden in these native creatures.
Nature is magical, and life is even more so. No matter how harsh the environment is, once life is born, there will be many unimaginable ways of survival. For example, before coming to Planet 4, the test subjects never thought that there would be living things that could survive with electromagnetic waves.
There are seven or eight other biological and related scientists in the base, and they were all sent to Le Mans to help him speed up his research progress. Le Mans' status was originally at the bottom among scientists, but it has been completely different since he discovered the Le Mans crystal. This is the result of being able to win the Pan-Star Award. Le Mans will definitely become a top-level figure in the future, so these scientists are willing to help him.
Chu Jungui handed over all biological research to Le Mans, and also allocated half of Cambrian's computing power to him, and then began to study the Doomsday Shadow Fortress.
The Fortress of Shadow of Doom knows the location of Base 2, and Base 2 also knows the location of Shadow of Doom. This is a very bad thing.
In the past, the number and scale of the Beast Tide's attacks on Doomsday Shadow far exceeded that of Base 2, so that the Lancers could only protect themselves most of the time and were unable to deal with the two small agents. At the same time, across hundreds of kilometers to attack each other, the risk of being attacked along the way is huge. The last time the coalition forces of the Jolly Roger and the Lancers almost bulldozed Base 2, but as a result, the beast wave came and almost wiped out their entire army.
After this time, the test subjects no longer believed in such nonsense as the joint survival of mankind.
With Kaitian around, the risk of the test subject being attacked by the beast tide is greatly reduced. In addition, he now also knows that his opponent also has a Cambrian in his hands, with a warning range of hundreds of kilometers. If he just drove the mobile base directly over, he would definitely be discovered as soon as he entered the warning circle.
However, after getting two brand new transport ships, the experimental body now has a solution. He disassembled the anti-gravity engine from the transport ship, opened the outer shell, and began to reverse engineer the structure inside.
In the 35th century, reverse engineering was already close to useless, especially in a truly cutting-edge field like spaceship engines. Not to mention now, even back in the early 20th century, trying to imitate the opponent's advanced products with point measurement tools always met with obstacles. Measuring can only get data, but we don’t know where the data comes from. Making slight changes to the prototype will naturally lead to endless problems.
But the test subject is an exception. His chip already contains a large amount of agent equipment data. As a test subject, he saves a lot of learning process and only needs to load the data. Chu Jungui casually browsed through the database and found many design drawings of anti-gravity engines, but they were just not suitable for the environment of Planet 4.
After two full days of research, Chu Jungui discovered that the anti-gravity engine of the transport ship was actually a traditional model, but some ingenious designs were added to adapt to the harsh environment of Planet 4. To prevent corrosion, the engine was completely encapsulated and turned into a non-detachable module. A movable protective cover is designed at the gravity exit, which can be opened when needed and closed when not needed to protect the fragile anti-gravity surface.
After understanding the basic principles, Chu Jungui redesigned the planetary version of the anti-gravity engine. The new engine uses a large amount of materials from Planet 4. If some rare elements are missing, ordinary metals with similar properties are used instead. In this way, a product that consumes 8 times the energy and half the output of the normal standard is released.
Although the data of this new engine is poor, it is very large. The controller part alone is almost as big as a room. There are tens of thousands of biochips stuffed in it, otherwise the engine output power cannot be adjusted.
The final product is as big as a suite. It has a dead weight of over 100 tons and can carry about 5,000 tons. Facing the finished product, the test object only had a headache for a while, then finalized the design and started construction, and eight units were built at one time.
The new anti-gravity engine is not without its advantages. Its biggest advantage is its service life. Even if the federal anti-gravity engine is encapsulated, its service life inside Planet 4 will only be 100 hours. As for the biochip used in the engine designed by Chu Jungui, the biggest advantage of a processor the size of a house is that it will not break down. As for packaging, the biological paint on his hand can resist corrosive environments very well and can also isolate electromagnetic fields to a large extent.
As for the specific service life, Chu Jungui did not delve into it. Anyway, in a war environment, it is estimated that no anti-gravity engine can be used until the day it naturally breaks down.
The eight anti-gravity engines require a total power of nearly 5 million KW, but the experimental body is very wealthy in terms of energy, and it is just a large reactor. With a stroke of his pen, the test body installed two more reactors on the design drawing. In this way, in addition to the anti-gravity engine, the entire platform can have an energy supply of 10 million KW, which is enough to do many things.
With the anti-gravity engine and the core energy module, Chu Jungui's floating base design framework was released.
He designed a large rectangular flat plate with evenly placed anti-gravity engines, a power furnace in the center and rear, functional cabins in the front, warehouses and production areas in the rear, and then placed a square anti-gravity engine on top. The shell is decorated with hundreds of weapon stations, and the latest floating base is successfully built.
Looking at this thing that looks like a matchbox covered with burrs, even the art components jumped out to complain. It is really ugly, so ugly that I can’t bear to look at it. Post-postmodernism doesn’t paint it like this.
Chu Jungui directly turned off the art component.
Blocks are the easiest to build, and that's enough for that reason.
However, the forward momentum of the floating base is a problem. After repeated thinking, the test subject came up with a simple and easy way: add wheels.
Usually, the floating base will use an anti-gravity engine as a backup, so that the entire base will be slightly heavier than normal. Then install some driving wheels under the base and you can move forward on the ground. If the terrain is really impassable, fly over it, then land and drive on the ground.
After the design was completed, the test subject felt filled with a sense of accomplishment from the inside out, so he sent the design drawing to Lin Xi.
After a while, Lin Xi sent back the design drawing.
Unexpectedly, the test subject did not wait for a lengthy complaint, but a revised design. In fact, the new plan has no essential changes, except that the outer layer is repainted. The silver, gray, black and gold colors are full of texture and science fiction color. It even makes the shape of this giant matchbox look less ugly.
The test subject sighed in his heart, it turns out that the painting also has combat effectiveness.
