After viewing the new base, Chu Jungui returned to the orbital station and saw Li Xinyi in the rest area. The girl was wearing a comfortable suit, her hair was tied back casually, she was wearing a pair of glasses with blue light, and she was holding a drink cup with a straw in her mouth. She was standing in front of the projection of the operating terminal, concentrating on it. The data on the screen in front of her was jumping rapidly, and it seemed that conscious operation alone was not enough. Sometimes her two little claws also had to be used.
The girl's current frequency of movements is also extraordinary. After all, she is assisted by Kaitian's body, and completing dozens of operations in one second is considered a daily skill.
Chu Jun came back behind her and did not disturb her, but looked at the screen quietly. The data on the screen jumped and merged into one piece, but it was completely distinguishable for Chu Jungui.
The girl is modifying the design of the starship. In the center of the screen is a new batch of destroyers to be built, and in the corner are design drawings waiting for further processing and optimization.
New starships will be optimized every four. Although the girl is a genius, she is still a person after all. Even if she can compete with three or four senior starship designers, the amount of work she can complete is still limited. The design process has been optimized to the greatest extent, but there are only more than a hundred starship designers in the entire light-year period, and most of them have become maintenance engineers and changed careers halfway.
Fortunately, the Lightyear Starship has taken minimalism to the extreme and used ready-made modules wherever possible, thus completing the original design. Even so, the first starships built were like rough houses with no decoration at all, and had no other functions except for fighting.
Lightyear's current orbital station can start construction of four rough starships at the same time, so the girl's optimization is also based on four ships as a batch, and each batch is bolder and larger, and some new functions are added. At this time, a design drawing in the corner caught Chu Jungui's attention. With a sudden movement of consciousness, he transferred the design drawing into his consciousness.
This is a half-modified starship design drawing. It is the huge starship that scared Wei Dong away in the first place. This starship had just built a skeleton and installed the main gun system. Why did it start to be modified again?
Only then did the girl discover Chu Jungui's presence, and turned around and vaguely called her brother-in-law.
Chu Jungui posted the half-modified starship design and asked, "Are you revising this?"
"Well, there were some problems with the original design. I just took a course on starship design, and now I have some new ideas, so I made some fine adjustments."
The problem is, Chu Jungui remembers what the original design looked like.
This starship was named Hercules. It initially set the benchmark for the heavy cruiser, but only its firepower and defense surpassed the heavy cruiser. Other aspects were greatly reduced according to the tradition of Light Years. Therefore, even though the bow of the ship is already over 200 meters long, the original design of the entire ship was less than 600 meters long.
After the entire ship is completed according to the design, the estimated combat strength is about 11,000, which has reached the passing line for heavy patrol. If broken down, the firepower is 18,000, the defense is 12,000, and the shield defense is 9,000, but the power is only a failing 8,000, and other aspects do not exceed 5,000.
Regardless of the federation or the dynasty, there is a very important item in the starship combat effectiveness evaluation system, self-sustainability. Self-sustainability refers to the time that a certain combat power can be maintained without supplies or only replenishing ammunition. There is a sub-item of considerable weight in self-sustainability: crew living standards.
In this category, Hercules scored 50.
The passing score for heavy patrol is not 100, but 10,000.
Precisely because of his tragic performance in self-sustainability, the final evaluation of Hercules was only 11,000. Of course, if driven by Chu Jungui himself, the extremely violent Hercules can defeat any opponent with a similar rating.
This is the original Hercules, and only a tiny shadow can be seen in the revised design drawings. The modified Captain Hercules has doubled the height to an astonishing 1,200 meters! This number exceeds almost all known heavy cruisers, and the overall shape maintains a short and thick shape, so the diameter of the hull has reached 200 meters.
This is an unprecedented giant beast, so it naturally has fangs worthy of its size. The girl directly doubled the number of beam cannons, and the power of the main gun soared to three times that of an ordinary heavy cruiser. This is also a number that no one can match in the heavy cruiser.
However, due to the backwardness of the Alpha gun, the consequence of the increase in the main gun is that the energy chamber used for energy storage will also increase accordingly, and the increase will be three times the original number. A large number of energy tanks require more power furnaces to shorten charging time and improve combat effectiveness. As a result, the proportion of space occupied by the entire main gun system has not decreased at all.
However, the huge ship body's demand for power increases geometrically, and the number of engines, power output control, and corresponding energy supply systems all increase simultaneously.
Finally, the girl further improved the armor level of the entire ship, while the shield remained as it was. The reason is also very simple. Lightyear's survival-grade armor materials are leading both the Dynasty and the Federation, but the shield generator is two full generations behind. Therefore, it is most efficient to increase defense by increasing armor.
Although the design drawing is only half completed, you can already vaguely see what the final product will look like. In an inconspicuous little corner among the massive notes on the design drawing, there is an estimated combat power target for the final completed body: 24,000.
This seems to be a number with special meaning, but Chu Jungui still doesn't know why the girl set such a goal.
In addition, the living standards of the crew in the new design have finally been greatly improved, 10 times higher than the original version.
In fact, with Lightyear's current production capacity, it is already very difficult to build the original version of Hercules, and the new version has so many changes that it can be called the Big-Hercules. I don’t know if the girl will change it to a super Hercules or even a real Hercules if she continues to modify it.
Looking at the new design drawings, and thinking about the new base built under the leadership of the wise men, and the terrifying huge refining furnace in the new base, Chu Jungui suddenly had an indescribable strange feeling, feeling that the entire light-year painting style seemed a bit... Something is wrong.
The girl had been filling in and making corrections on the destroyer design, as if she had no time to pay attention to Chu Jungui. While she was revising, she was constantly splitting out detailed tasks and sending them to different researchers and engineers. The girl was like a humanoid master brain, running at high speed and occasionally bursting out with genius inspiration.
With her modifications, the destroyer's estimated combat power is also rising. Although the increase is only 3.5 points, the victory continues, and the total combat power value has exceeded 5500, and is still rising. You know, the living standard of the crew of this destroyer is only 35 points.
This is a bit scary. If the life of the crew is deducted, the combat power of the entire ship will exceed 6,000, and we have already seen the dawn of a light cruiser. At the same time, the cost of this starship is only one-third of its peers.
This batch of destroyers are all lightyear self-use models and will basically not leave the n77 star field, so the crew's life is tolerable. As long as the war is won, no one will complain. This is not the case for the version sold to the outside world. A large amount of space is freed up to accommodate the crew's living quarters. These spaces are occupied by the power cabin and energy cabin. If there is not enough power, the main gun must be shrunk and the shield must be less decorated.
Therefore, when the crew life score of Lightyear's external version reaches 4000, the overall combat power is slightly less than 5000. However, Lightyear sells the destroyer for the price of a high-end frigate, which is why it is very popular among star thieves.
Chu Jungui watched silently for an hour, but Li Xinyi still had no intention of stopping. During this period, the new destroyer's combat power increased by 10 points. Chu Jungui couldn't wait any longer, so he cleared his throat and asked, "How did Hercules change to look like that?"
"What's wrong?" the girl asked without raising her head.
"It's not bad, it's just that the workload is too great and the construction period cannot be estimated."
The girl said casually: "It doesn't matter. The wise man has been fattened and can harvest another crop. With enough working beasts, the construction period will be greatly shortened."
"What?" Chu Jungui didn't understand.
The girl said: "Le Mans has found a more effective formula that can make the wise man grow faster, so that more daughter bodies can be separated. Now it can be harvested every three days. And I updated the wise man's algorithm, He can control more sub-bodies at the same time through the new algorithm. Well, let me see his current control limit...it is 15,000. The new algorithm still has a lot of room for improvement. If it is not enough, there is still Kaitian. ?"
Kaitian was shocked to realize that disaster had fallen from the sky, and hurriedly said: "The wise man and I are different! Our evolutionary directions are completely different, and even the food we eat is different! I can't harvest it, Queen!"
The girl finally turned around, put on a pair of special glasses and looked at the sky for a while. She saw how thick and light it was, and her heart skipped a beat.
After watching for a moment, the girl said: "Sure enough, your level of evolution lags far behind that of the wise man, and you are almost a big step behind. Don't leave during the next period of time, I will ask Le Mans to give you more feed, no, Food will ensure that you grow as fast as a wise man.”
Kaitian was even more panicked when he heard this, why does it sound so familiar? What about after gaining weight? Just look at what happened to the wise men.
Kaitian quickly activated his wisdom and finally came up with the reason: "My evolutionary direction is a single super intelligence, which is different from the distributed intelligence of a wise man. Only in this way can I help the master and the queen to the maximum extent!"
The girl was unmoved and said: "Improve intelligence? It's simple. I'll just update the algorithm for you. In the future, if you think according to the new algorithm, the efficiency will be improved by orders of magnitude."
Kaitian was so frightened that he didn't know what to say. All his eyes disappeared from his body, let alone its new image that was in line with the aesthetics of higher intelligence. In his opinion, thinking according to algorithms is more terrifying than segmentation. Doesn’t that mean that he will no longer have the freedom to think?
Even the two-legged lower beings have an old saying: Give me freedom or give me death. As a top life form, Kaitian cannot be inferior to humans.
Chu Jungui sensed Kai Tian's panic and quickly changed the topic and asked: "Isn't the original design of Hercules pretty good? It can be slightly optimized. There is no need to change it so much, right?"
"Is necessary."
"To be honest, I didn't see it."
The girl rolled her eyes at Chu Jungui and said angrily: "Why is it not necessary? I heard that someone borrowed some kind of champion knight for you to play with, and made it look like it was amazing! I will build a ship better than hers for everyone to see. look!"
