It's not that Chu Jungui doesn't know how valuable a natural Le Mans crystal is. In the short term, the biggest use of this thing is not to provide energy. After all, Chu Jungui has no shortage of energy now.
Its purpose is to instantly release terrifying energy after breaking the stable structure, which is an order of magnitude higher than fusion. Although it is inconspicuous, the chain reaction produced when it instantly recovers its original volume is also extremely terrifying. To put it simply, being hit by this thing is equivalent to being hit by a nuclear bomb of several hundred tons, and hundreds of tons refer to all reactive materials. No starship can stop an attack of this level.
In the long run, once its secrets are cracked, human science will take a big step forward, ushering in an era of exploration and research on white dwarfs.
This natural Le Mans crystal is a priceless treasure in the field of science. However, Chu Jungui cannot digest it for the time being and can only temporarily store it. Le Mans is allowed to conduct limited research under safety conditions.
Even the wise men don't know the origin of this crystal, but Chu Jungui knows that it is most likely related to the Mist Clan. This can only be studied slowly in the future.
At the moment, he has the most important plan: Plan A, which must be carried out before Lin Xi arrives. Fortunately, most of the materials for Plan A are already available, but it will only temporarily weaken the defense of Base 2. And this little bit of defense can be replenished within a few days.
Plan A was divided into two parts. Chu Jungui analyzed it for 30 minutes, broke down the plan into execution plans specific to each person, and then distributed them.
The entire plan was broken down into more than 3,000 execution plans. In addition to regular on-duty personnel, almost all mobile personnel in the entire base were mobilized. After all, the ultimate beast tide has just passed, and now there are millions of tons of biological materials piled in the base that need to be processed. Just the preservation and classification of materials requires thousands of people to work in shifts. Even so, the amount that can be processed every day is only more than 10,000 tons.
The girl also received the plan, she just sighed without anyone noticing.
The entire No. 2 base was mobilized, and a large number of manufacturing machines were turned to the production of planned parts. Many engineers climbed to the commanding heights of the base and removed all the Alpha cannons on them, while hundreds of others lifted boxes of Alpha cannons from the warehouse. Crystals are sent to the factory.
In the factory, Alphas are manufactured and assembled one after another, but they are all thin and long, and do not have normal heat dissipation and auxiliary devices. Instead, they have many splicing interfaces that match each other.
Another planning team is constantly manufacturing large-capacity capacitors. The performance of capacitors made from double-leaf tree pulp is completely top-notch in the star field. Only in this field is Lightyear truly leading the world.
As the day passed, all the components were assembled and sent into orbit in batches by transport ships, and the final assembly was completed in low-Earth orbit.
In space, looking at the final product with a diameter of 5 meters, a length of more than 40 meters, and a huge square box of 20 meters square, Li Ruobai sighed: "I finally believe that quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes."
The final product of Chu Jungui's Plan A is a beam cannon integrated with more than 300 alpha cannons. It will eventually emit a high-energy beam with a diameter of 5 meters. In fact, it is more than 300 parallel high-energy beams.
The effect of scattered high-energy beams on shields and ship hulls is of course not as good as a real high-energy beam, but the advantage of this design is that you don't have to consider the optimal range, just hit it. As for the lack of power, it has been completely made up by quantity, and there is a huge surplus.
This Plan A cannon has too many high-energy beams, so its power reaches an astonishing 600! This is a beam cannon with continuous damage. The damage from one hit has already caught up with the main gun of the light cruiser. Whether by the standards of the Tang Dynasty or the Federation, this is an out-and-out heavy cruiser main gun.
The power index is determined with reference to the combat power of the starship. Under the continuous attack of the Plan A cannon, a destroyer without shields cannot withstand it for even one minute. Even if the shields are fully activated, it can only hold up too much. Just 2 minutes.
Even Li Ruobai didn't expect Chu Jungui to use such a simple and crude method to create a real heavy patrol main gun. Obviously, this cannon was prepared for the Swan. As for the White Feather, it was completely ignored by the test subjects.
The Plan A gun certainly had its shortcomings, and they were very fatal. Its unit power energy consumption is much higher than the normal standard. A Tang Dynasty beam cannon with the same power consumes only 35% of the energy of the Plan A gun, and the Federation's main gun even only consumes 26%.
That's why Chu Jungui's Plan A is divided into two parts. The second part is the huge capacitor, which collects energy from the energy cabin and releases it concentratedly in a short period of time to drive the Plan A cannon to attack.
The total energy consumption of the Plan A gun is also extremely terrifying, consuming all the energy of a standard energy capsule every second. The standard reserve energy tank of a destroyer is 40, which means that its entire energy is not enough to fire Plan A for one minute. Even the Swan, with its original configuration of 100 energy capsules, could only fire Plan A for 100 seconds. During this period, nothing could be done, and even the engines had to be turned off.
All the shortcomings of this cannon are related to energy consumption. In short, the consumption is too great. In any planetary government, it is impossible for such a project to be approved.
But in Chu Jungui's eyes, this shortcoming was acceptable.
When the Plan A gun assembly was coming to an end, the Swan quietly appeared. If the original Swan was a black swan with a rough appearance, then it is now a swan full of patches, or to put it another way, a spotted swan.
The appearance of the Swan is full of temporarily sealed armor plates, and some of them even look like they were removed from the inside of the ship and installed outside. The composite armor plates installed by Chu Jungui on the Swan in the last round have almost been worn out.
Before the Swan started docking, it fired a communication beam and transmitted the recent battle report. The crew members had long known Chu Jun's habit of returning home, so they sent the battle report before stopping to avoid wasting time. There is a reason why the attitude of the crew of the Swan is so positive. On the one hand, the composite armor that was replaced last time was a bit ugly, but the defensive effect was unexpectedly good. This is what saves your life in war.
On the other hand, everyone now knows who provided the energy of the Swan. During the war, Chu Jungui was the biggest financial sponsor. There is no way to have a bad attitude towards the benefactor. When most people see the benefactor, their favorability will automatically increase by three levels.
After a while, the docking of the starship was completed. When he saw Lin Xi, Chu Jungui's first words were: "I prepared a gift for you."
Different from the first few times, this time all the crew members smiled unchanged and were enthusiastic from the bottom of their hearts.
"As for it?" Li Ruobai couldn't stand it anymore.
