48. Prepare to open a new technology tree
Only then did Tang Xiao turn his attention to Qu Xuewen.
Compared to Guan Yan and the others, Qu Xuewen's appearance is much more outstanding. He has short hair and black-rimmed glasses, and he looks very delicate and pleasant. Under the spacious white coat is a turtleneck sweater, a one-step skirt and tight stockings. This outfit can easily be mistaken for cosplay or uniform temptation, but she is an elite-level materials science expert.
This is a typical example of how you can rely on your face, but you have to rely on your talent.
Because he knew Tang Xiao was coming, Qu Xuewen seemed to have dressed up, with a faint smell of perfume floating on his body. This made Tang Xiao gradually become interested in this beautiful scientist whom he had no impression of before. Although she is 32 years old according to the information, she is well-maintained and her skin is delicate and firm. She looks like she just graduated from college, but she is full of the charm of a mature woman.
His previous impression of Qu Xuewen was that she was Feng Yongwang's follower. She had been conducting research on ghost fighters with Dr. Feng. She had excellent professional standards and was much smoother than the other nerds. Her appearance was also above the level. , nothing else.
Qu Xuewen seemed to be moving closer to Tang Xiao intentionally or unintentionally, but Tang Xiao still moved away without leaving a trace.
It's not that he is a saint, but he really hasn't figured out how to deal with such a superior-subordinate relationship. Perhaps sensing Tang Xiao's distant distance, Qu Xuewen didn't bother too much. She coughed lightly and led Tang Xiao to the refitting area of the frigate, "It's right here, Professor Chi." I am leading the team to modify the turbolaser turret, because this is not in line with my major, so I have been relatively free recently."
A drop of cold sweat left on Tang Xiao's forehead. Was this woman leading him in a circle just now?
Over there, the shell on one side of the Hammer-class frigate had been completely opened, revealing the densely packed circuits and instruments underneath that gave Tang Xiao goosebumps.
Chi Jianjun was pointing at several of the lines and said: "This is the area of energy compression. We need to add a compartment here, but there are two release lines of the deflector passing through here, so we need to drill the compartment." The holes are then insulated twice. Only in this way can the integrity and safety of the energy compression process be ensured. The reverse engineering of this turbolaser cannon will not be considered for now. What we need is to form sufficient combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
In front of him, Feng Yongwang and two other elite experts were like students, frantically taking notes and nodding.
Noticing Tang Xiao's arrival, Chi Jianjun turned around and nodded and said, "Manager, Dr. Qu has informed you that you are coming. It just so happens that I have something to report to you."
"I'm mainly here to visit our latest frigate in service." Tang Xiao said with a smile.
"Although the Hammer-class frigate cannot be said to be excellent, it is still a very rough frigate in general, but after all, as a weapons platform, its performance will be much better than that of the Blade fighter. At least the energy level is much higher. More. If there had been a few Hammer-class frigates when the pirates attacked last time, the situation would have been much better." Chi Jianjun said frankly.
"Let's talk about this frigate."
Chi Jianjun unfolded a screen projection next to him, pointed to the anatomy diagram of the Hammer-class frigate above, and said: "This frigate is 31.4 meters long. The original design is two medium-sized twin electromagnetic gun turrets with a caliber of 40mm, and for Heavy armor was added to improve survivability. As a result, the armor and ammunition compartments took up a lot of space, making the entire spacecraft look like a can of luncheon meat stuffed inside."
Then he clicked, and the anatomy diagram began to change, "We made optimizations during the research process without overturning the original design. The twin electromagnetic gun turrets were replaced with twin infrared laser turrets, so that While maintaining the characteristics of thick armor, it can also save a lot of ammunition bay space for installing larger nuclear fusion engines and energy shield generators. But this still cannot cover up the poor handling and maneuverability of this frigate, with two turrets The firepower coverage is also insufficient and requires a large number of frigates to cooperate in combat to be effective."
He paused and said: "This can increase the combat efficiency of the Hammer-class light frigate by about 30%, basically reaching a level that can be used. But... there is still more room for improvement!"
"What areas are still lacking?" Tang Xiao asked humbly.
"Aviation, fire control, flight control!" Chi Jianjun raised his hand and swiped in the air, crossing out the anatomy diagram of the Hammer-class frigate on the interface, "Let me put it bluntly, this kind of frigate is still a single installation It’s just an iron box for the turret and engine. I checked the technology list of the mothership. This type of spacecraft is classified in the ‘Kushen Civilization’ category. Although it is the least difficult to analyze, the efficiency of the spacecraft is generally not high.”
"Then do you have any suggestions?"
"The suggestion is this." Chi Jianjun opened another technology list page and pointed at a long list of spaceships and technologies. "This technology comes from the 'Emergency Traders Alliance'."
Kushen Civilization Tang Xiao also knew that this was "Homeland", but the Emergency Traders Alliance? Tang Xiao was still stunned when he heard this term, but he didn't understand what it was until he opened his own technology interface.
It seems that in the database of the mastermind, everyone can only see the forces to which these technologies belong. For example, the ghost fighter, the source in the technology list is the Terran Empire (Terran). As for whether this thing comes from the "StarCraft" game, that is Tang Xiao's own judgment.
In this way, in the eyes of others, this technology library is a collection from countless civilizations, and they will not think of anything else. This matches the false history of the Fourth Civilization he created, because in the end, the Fourth Civilization carried the fire of their entire galaxy, and it is not surprising that it contains the technology of other civilizations.
This Trader Emergency Coalition was a bit unfamiliar to Tang Xiao, but when he continued to browse down the entry, he discovered that this was the technology in "Original Sins of the Solar Empire"!
"Sins of a Solar Empire" is also a very grand interstellar war game, and the major factions in it are extremely powerful. They can build everything from light frigates with various functions to extremely huge Titan battleships.
The Traders Emergency Alliance is one of the factions in the game, and it is a civilization that is highly similar to humans. Professor Chi should have chosen this technology tree for this reason.
