1650. Archon-class aircraft carrier
In fact, Matt Horner came here mainly to collect combat data in real time - combat data of swarm drones.
The swarm drone is actually controlled by the pale-skinned Zabrak woman in front of her, Shaak Ti's apprentice, Maris Bruder.
The Protoss did hand over the technology of swarm drones to the Fourth Civilization, but the technological systems between humans and Protoss are so far apart. Even if detailed data on technology is obtained, and the data is interpreted by the Protoss, It still cannot be used directly.
Therefore, Arroyo Barlow, chief engineer of the Fourth Civilization and a native of Salarian, initially determined the platform for the swarm drones-the Archon-class aircraft carrier after making countless calculations and choices.
First of all, there are many technologies in the protoss drone aircraft carrier that even the current Sirak tribe has not yet mastered. And even if they have mastered it, this kind of capital ship-level drone carrier will not be able to use the technology of the fourth civilization. It is almost impossible to build the means.
So we can only settle for the next best thing.
So let’s take a look at the Archon-class aircraft carrier. Almost all of the aircraft carriers in the "eve" technology tree are drone carriers. Such platforms are inherently highly adaptable. Because as a drone carrier, the Archon-class aircraft carrier has a powerful command system and a split flight control system, which can well handle the calculations of tens of thousands of drones operating at the same time.
At the same time, the Archon-class aircraft carrier also has a remote control platform that allows controllers to manually control drones. This is actually two parallel command systems, AI and manual, which can also make drone operations more flexible.
Finally, the Archon-class aircraft carrier also has enough space and enough room for modification. The biggest advantage of the "eve" spacecraft is that it is modular and can be easily replaced, so it is not difficult to convert it into the control core of the swarm drone. The huge 3,175-meter-long hull can easily fit into two swarm drone assembly lines.
These are all natural things, but the next question is the real focus.
The protoss aircraft carrier is actually piloted by only one person!
That's right, from controlling the aircraft carrier to commanding countless interceptor aircraft, and even giving instructions to the automated production line inside the battleship, it's all done by one person!
In addition to the highly intelligent and automated battleship itself, the most fundamental problem is that this operator is a Templar!
To put it more carefully, that is a high level! Holy church! warrior!
In other words, this person can descend to the ground and raise his hand to create a large spiritual storm, which can easily wipe out a small army!
Even now, before the Jedi Order was destroyed, those Jedi who had gradually lost their edges and corners during the millennium of comfort were capable of controlling the protoss aircraft carrier, and the number of them was definitely no more than two hands stretched out.
This is the most important question!
Why is the Protoss Interceptor, a one-meter-long micro drone named Swarm Drone by the Fourth Civilization, so powerful?
Why is it that two-thirds of its structure is an engine, one-third is plasma rays, and only a small receiver is left, but it is still flexible and high-speed, easily crushing the main fighter aircraft of the Galactic Republic in service?
Because this thing is basically controlled by spiritual energy!
According to the current research on the protoss, their spiritual energy and the force actually have a lot in common. After confirming the two aspects, it is easy to draw the conclusion that this idealistic thing is really not something that mechanical technology can do. Comparable!
So the question is, we already have aircraft carriers and swarm drones, so where can we find the controllers?
So when Arroyo Barlow reported this problem to Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao also had a headache.
Because there are really not many Force-sensitive people under the Fourth Civilization now. Obi-Wan Kenobi gave up the mask of the hermit, and Satine Kryze, the Grand Duke of Mandalore, disappeared somewhere. Adi - Gallia went to the dungeon of the planet Taris alone in order to break through the shackles of death. Darth Lilim had just completed the trial and was further strengthening his dark side power amidst the brutal massacre in the north.
Among others, the priestess Depa-Bilaba can now be said to be the principal of the Twilight Covenant, and Uru-Ulix was torn into pieces by the werewolf Jedi Master Wilf Munn on the planet Semires, so broken that Liantang Xiao also has no interest in resurrecting him.
Finally, there are the Twilight Covenant and Ghost Academy. The former are all children, and the latter are all people whose midi-chlorians are not dense enough to become sensitive and can only be trained to become ghosts. Naturally, these people are of no use.
And then...it seemed like there was really no one else.
After Order 66, although the Dawn Planet issued an announcement stating that it was willing to accept the fleeing Jedi, the cruel reality is...none of them came!
That’s right, not a single kitten or puppy came!
Although the notice issued by Dawn Planet at that time was affectionate and sincere, no one appreciated it at all!
Some of the surviving Jedi fell to the dark side and joined Darth Sidious, while others also fell to the dark side and went to Count Dooku, the elder of the Jedi Order. The vast majority of the rest were Missing, hiding.
No one came anyway.
It is estimated that the biggest reason is Tang Xiao's identity as Lord Narcissus. Those who are willing to accept this identity will naturally stay in the Galactic Republic and will not come all the way to the border of the Galaxy.
Therefore, when the Archon-class aircraft carrier and swarm drones were placed in front of Tang Xiao, he also had a huge headache.
Finally, he thought of the Zabrak woman, Maris Bruder. She was originally a very unstable person. She didn't know what happened during the Battle of Kamino Planet, and was finally dragged into the dark side by the Dream Sisters, who then sent her here.
Originally, Tang Xiao didn't trust her very much, and he didn't think much of her either. So she was handed over to Darth Lilim, with the intention of letting her serve as Lilim's assistant.
But later, Tang Xiao began to be dissatisfied with Darth Lilim's dark side Force training, and part of this dissatisfaction was passed on to Maris Bruder.
Tang Xiao believed that Maris Bruder's unsteady character was also the reason why Darth Lilim's cultivation was not deep enough. So thinking of this, he directly called Maris Bruder to the Glory mothership. , stabbed to death with a sword without saying a word.
Then she was resurrected using the resurrection technique and handed over directly to Arroyo Barlow for research.
