Remember in one second [], the wonderful novel is free to read without a popup!
The Flower of Mind project is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan, and Qiao Li doesn't need to worry about it.
Now he is more concerned about how the reconstruction of the new moon base is going on, but this is about whether the wandering earth can pass to the next level. After getting the dead star's supermatter reactor, it's time to gradually transform it into a starkiller base.
Through the planetary engine transmission tower, Qiao Li came to the Crescent base in an instant.
At this point, the Death Star has been dismantled with only a skeleton left, just like a skull floating in space. The contents inside have already been hollowed out, and all of them have been moved to the new moon base.
Thanks to its foundation, civil engineering is currently underway at the Crescent base, and various parts removed from the dead star are installed, of course, including the most important metamaterial reactor.
This is also a large project, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete in a short time, but the materials are all ready-made, which is much better than starting from scratch.
Today's Crescent base has long become a vital space base for Wandering Earth, with functions such as orbital defense platforms, star battleship docks, and fleet command centers, coupled with Galen Esso's improved Death Star super laser cannon. More and more like the Starkiller base.
However, the Ark, the Wannian Fengxue and the Expedition are all following the journey of the New Republic's unified galaxy. The only person who docked above the crescent base orbit was the Performer who returned to Wandering Earth not long ago. Now it has been transformed into a A giant spacecraft carrier.
When Jolly arrived, the Performer was conducting the first military exercise.
Countless fighters swarmed from the hangar of the Performer, rushing to the nearby asteroid belt due to the death of the superstar laser cannon in the nearby Yavin battle, and smashed the asteroid as a target with proton torpedoes and laser cannons .
What surprised Jolly was that Carrier's carrier-based aircraft did not use the X-wing and Y-wing fighters of the Rebel Alliance, as he expected, but was equipped with cheap tie fighters in large numbers as always.
Just when Qiao Li was puzzled, George, the permanent director of the space fleet construction, sent an invitation and asked him to board the Executive to watch the exercise.
So Jolly took a shuttle to the Performer, and once again saw this nearly 20,000-meter-long super star destroyer. Jolly was still amazed by the surface of the hull that looked like a city, and further expanded. After the hangar area, the Performer looks like a huge honeycomb, which can easily accommodate tens of thousands of interstellar fighters, direct them in and out, and sometimes attack and repair.
After entering the hangar formally, Qiao Li just realized why the Executor wanted to use a cheap tie fighter as a carrier-based aircraft.
Inside the ship's hull is a complete tie fighter production line, which can even recover various debris and minerals floating in space, and build a brand new tie fighter in just a few minutes.
The tidy and uniform assembly line gives people a unique industrial beauty, and fully automated production meticulously completes all operations.
At this time, Jolly was also surprised to find that the asteroids as targets were mostly celestial bodies containing metal minerals.
After the tie fighter blasted it with a proton torpedo, it dragged a large piece of mineral back to the executor with a traction beam and put it into the production line for the next batch of fighter materials.
It is simply a one-stop service mobile factory, from collecting raw materials to producing fighters to putting them into operation, all within the hull of the Executor.
No wonder you want to use a relatively cheap tie fighter. If it is not a simple, low-priced dual-ion engine fighter, there is simply no way to mass produce it continuously, or it can be pieced together with various debris and asteroid minerals. Quickly build from source.
Undoubtedly, the remodeled executors follow the drone bee colony tactics, which is to rely on a continuous and huge number of overwhelming enemies. The tie fighter is tailor-made for this purpose.
While visiting the production line on the Executor, Qiaolu came to the bridge command room. George had been waiting for a long time, and the Executor entered the asteroid belt step by step.
"Joel, welcome! How about our first spacecraft carrier."
"Much better than I thought."
Qiao Lu originally thought that the Executor would carry a large number of x-wing fighters. Like a traditional aircraft carrier, it would rely on ship-borne capacity to win. However, it was not expected that it would become a mobile factory and rely on fighting while building a continuous fighter.
George explained, "The performance of x-wing fighters is very high, but the requirements for pilots are also high. At present, our artificial intelligence is still incompetent, and there is no way to train so many excellent pilots in a short time. So cheap tie fighters It became the first choice, and coupled with the convenience of mass production, we transformed the executor into this. "
The x-wing fighter is similar to the star phoenix fighter in StarCraft. The performance is naturally higher than the star fighter's interceptor, but it cannot be produced quickly to meet the star fighter's rapid replenishment of carrier aircraft. Need.
In contrast, tie fighters are even cheaper and can be pieced together with various debris and metal minerals. It is nothing more than fuel and ammunition. It can't be cheaper.
As a matter of course, the fighters on the Executor have been replaced with unmanned types, and even the force of life is not counted, and they will not be distressed by how much they consume.
Under the cover of countless tie fighters, the Executor passed through the dense asteroid belt and returned with a large amount of metal minerals. The collection efficiency was scary ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It is not clear whether this is an engineering ship or an engineering ship. Spacecraft carrier.
"The second spacecraft is also under construction. With the experience of transforming and using the Executor, the domestic spacecraft we have built from scratch will be more mature in design and beneficial in every respect." George Go further.
Indeed, this is much better than starting from scratch, and the Space Fleet of Wandering Earth is so built.
Qiao Lu asked, "So how is the rebuilding of the new moon base going? Is it going well?"
"Well, the parts on the Death Star have been delivered and are being reassembled under the command of Galen Esso. No one knows the structure of the Death Star better than him. After the reconstruction of the crescent base is completed, the supermaterial reactor can be put Of energy guides the stray earth and helps us travel to a new world. "
The Wandering Earth Fleet follows the rebels to unify the Milky Way and has another important task, which is to recover as much as possible the Caber crystals plundered before the empire, as a fuel supply for the metamaterial reactor, and there is still sufficient energy remaining after Wandering Earth passes.
Everything is going according to plan, it seems that Qiao Li can really rest assured this time.
