In the conversation with Brother Dao not long ago, Chu Jungui suspected that the data about the time spent by the wise man was wrong, but now it seems that he is probably right, and it is Chu Jungui, or the wise man, who is wrong Chu Jungui was misled. In fact, the wise man's computing power far exceeded the superficial data.
So why would Brother Dao deliberately reveal the wise man’s secret? The Mist Clan never let anything slip.
At this time, Chu Jungui couldn't help but start to miss Kaitian. Only this little guy who had been with him since birth was not so complicated.
In any case, construction of the new starship has finally started, which is an epoch-making milestone for Lightyear.
The new starship is named the Dreadnought class. Judging from the data of the 1,000-meter-long hull, it is a heavy cruiser. Its firepower and defense adhere to the abnormal tradition of light years, and have exceeded the heavy cruisers currently in service in the Dynasty and the Federation, especially the hull armor. The thickness is twice the average level in active service, and the shield strength has also been improved. However, the starship's maneuverability and endurance have not decreased. In other words, this is a powerful starship that far exceeds the current level of the two major forces. Moreover, its construction period is only one-fifth of the normal level, and its construction cost is only one-tenth.
The core reason for being able to do this is that there are no humans in the starship. The huge living and entertainment areas and the large supply warehouses prepared for the crew have all been replaced with power furnaces and energy batteries. Chu Jungui even luxuriously used the fusion energy pack from a civilian cargo ship. This thing has a sufficient energy supply, has a lifespan of hundreds of years, and is a completely mature technology. It is cheap at a cabbage price. The only disadvantage is that it is big and heavy. But on the Dreadnought level, the space is particularly abundant, so Chu Jungui piled up a large number of such fusion energy packs. Anyway, the Dreadnought level is not intended to be used for a long time, and its service life is roughly a few battles or less.
All the important job nodes within the Dreadnought class are engineering beasts. In some parts, the engineering beasts are even directly sealed in the installation package and then installed. Many packages are disposable, which means that the engineering beasts inside are treated as consumables. Before talking to Brother Dao, Chu Jungui didn't think there was any problem, and no one else thought there was any problem.
The engineering beast mainly consumes energy, absorbs substances and excretes very little waste, which can be solved in a package. In this way, the package can be made extremely strong and simple. If you want to open the package early, it is no less difficult than punching through it. Armor. As a result, many of the traditional critical parts of starships are no longer critical on the Wuwei machine.
As a result, the combat power of the Dreadnaught has already caught up with the Federation's Radiant Knight. However, this is an unmanned ship that can carry out suicide attacks at any time.
At this moment, in the orbit of Planet 4, in addition to the Frostwolf-class capital ship customized for the dynasty's military, the other two shipyards are already at full capacity, and a Frostwolf-class sister ship is being built in one shipyard. This battleship is designed for takeout or personal use, and has a large number of functional areas on its shoulders that can be freely converted. To put it simply, when used for personal use, these areas are equipped with power furnaces, additional shield generators, and a large number of engineering beast packages. When used for takeout, they will be replaced with residential areas, entertainment circles, and daily supplies warehouses. At the same time, this battleship is mainly for personal use, so it has completely carried forward Lightyear's tradition of simplicity, roughness and violence to the extreme. There is not even a little bit of interior decoration, just big iron blocks, big steel plates, and at most a spray paint.
In the remaining shipyards, a total of two Dreadnoughts were under construction at the same time. The Dreadnought class consumes a total of 20,000 engineering beasts, half of which are in disposable packages. In other words, if supplies are sufficient and production capacity is unlimited, Brother Dao himself can control more than 200 heavy cruisers, which can directly compete with half of the dynasty or the federation.
Chu Jungui also had an evolutionary roadmap of the Mist tribe in his hand, but he did not expect that the war potential of the Mist tribe would be so terrifying.
At this time, years of excess production capacity has been used to produce engineering ships, in order to unleash the true potential of millions of engineering beasts. Currently, the number of engineering ships is less than 500,000, which cannot even meet one-tenth of the demand. However, looking at it from another perspective, the largest starship production group in the dynasty has only 2.7 million registered engineering ships, and the number of ships operating at the same time may not be as much as light years.
After creating millions of engineering beasts, Brother Dao entered a state of silence, and his body gradually stretched and thinned, turning into a thin disk with a diameter of 150,000 meters, silently bathing in the radiance of the blue sun. According to Le Mans' monitoring, his daily growth rate has dropped from the peak of 53% to less than 0.01%. Occasionally, he can produce some engineering beasts, but the total of the whole day is less than 100, and he just maintains the original scale. Brother Dao seems to have entered a dormant state. If there were no signs of life, he would be mistaken for cosmic dust.
With the three docks in full operation, a new dock was put on the agenda in Chu Jungui's plan. This time he plans to build four giant shipyards, all of which can build capital ships, or start construction of two heavy cruisers at the same time.
The moment Brother Dao entered the universe, the light-year war machine began to roar. However, at this moment, the world did not know that a giant beast was awakening in a corner of the universe.
Time passed in a boring way, and the scenery of Planet 4 seemed to remain unchanged. Compared with the planet itself, the docks, capital ships and space bases are just a few small dots, and those busy engineering ships are not even dust.
Chu Jungui silently monitored the production data of the entire planet, making some adjustments from time to time. Except for the starships on the slipway becoming more and more plump, nothing seems to have changed, and the days seem to go on like this peacefully until the end of the world.
Chu Jungui is quietly accumulating strength, as are the dynasty and the federation. The battlefield along the vertical line entered a brief trough, with only a few small-scale battles remaining. Both sides were resting and looking for an opportunity for the next decisive battle. In the blink of an eye, the vertical line has been fighting for almost three years. The losses of both sides' capital ships alone have exceeded double digits, and the losses of other large and small starships have exceeded a thousand. With the vertical line as the center of the circle, the seven surrounding star fields were reduced to rubble, and countless space stations and space bases were destroyed. Although the casualties of civilians in interstellar wars are not many, and time is reserved for civilians to retreat before destroying space bases, the casualties accumulated here and there are hundreds of thousands, and the casualties of combatants are much higher. Already more than 10 million.
Since the battlefield was in the hinterland of the Federation and all that was destroyed was the Federation's star field, Xu Bingyan implemented a scorched earth policy. Everywhere he went, he would completely destroy important facilities such as local space stations, star ports, and jump points, not only destroying military potential. , and destroy economic potential.
In the Federation, a storm is brewing.
