Vol 3 Chapter 476: The source of anxiety

While Li Ruobai was busy underground, Chu Jungui was repeatedly verifying the high-energy beam crystal that was just studied in the laboratory.
This crystal is mixed with a variety of materials in strict proportions, and then undergoes multiple high temperature and high pressure treatments to finally achieve crystallization. The preparation process requires a lot of energy, and it must be processed continuously for 24 hours under 10 million kilowatts of energy to obtain a football-sized crystal.
When Chu Jun returned, he held a newly prepared crystal in his hand, and kept switching his field of vision to observe repeatedly. The surface of this crystal presents an irregular section, and the interior is somewhat chaotic, and large flocs can be seen. In terms of accuracy, there is still a lot of room for improvement. After cutting such a large piece of crystal, it can output a high-energy beam with a power of 500,000 kilowatts, which is roughly equivalent to a destroyer's secondary gun.
To be honest, the alpha crystal is still quite primitive, and all data are lacking. The technical indicators are about the level of 300 years ago. Even some larger star thief forces can't compare with the beam cannon made of alpha crystal. In addition, due to the use of a large amount of biological organic materials, the purity control of Alpha crystals becomes very difficult. Not only are there a large number of flocs inside, but the distribution of flocs is also quite random, which means that the quality of the crystals will be uneven and vary. Exclude a lot of waste products.
However, the so-called waste products are not completely unusable, but the energy conversion index is not up to the standard, or the large enough crystal cannot be cut, resulting in insufficient output power.
The advantages of Alpha crystals are also very obvious, that is, they are durable and adapt extremely well to the specific environment of Planet 4. The penetrating power and depletion rate of the light beam it excites in the atmosphere are far better than standard beam cannons. In addition, it can withstand long-term continuous excitation, the continuous excitation time can reach 3 minutes, which is several times that of ordinary beam guns.
At this moment, Chu Jun returned to his hands, although he was not too short of weapons, but the supporting ammunition for these weapons was quite limited. For nothing else, as long as a few more battles, the four light patrol main guns that Jun Chu returned to his hand would have to stop cooking.
Although Alpha Crystal is primitive and simple, it is like a biochip, and it can give Chu Jungui a unique advantage around Planet 4.
Chu Jungui, who was always worried about the lack of firepower, immediately began to arrange the production of Alpha Crystal. At the moment, the total energy supply of Base 2 exceeds 80 million kilowatts. If it were placed in the home planet era, it would have been equivalent to the power generation of the three largest hydropower stations. Therefore, the energy in the hands of Chu Jun is quite abundant, even if the refining furnace is kept day and night, there will always be 10 to 20 million kilowatts of energy redundancy.
Jun Chu returned to think about it, and directly compressed part of the refining furnace's capacity, freeing up 40 million kilowatts of energy, and at the same time refining 4 Alpha Crystals. After such a day, Chu Jun will have 4 beam cannons in his hand. Chu Jungui did not intend to actually build 4 cannons. Instead, he adopted a simple and rude approach and directly connected the 4 cannons in parallel, so that it became a beam cannon with 4 times the power, but the beam shot was not one. , But 4 channels.
The power of this gun has exceeded 200, equivalent to the main gun of a frigate. For the time being, Chu Jungui did not plan to move it onto the starship, but cleared the position on the roof of the base command building, built a gun mount, and equipped with a biological main brain for auxiliary control. It wasn't until this new Alpha Cannon was installed that Chu Jungui felt a little safe.
Alpha beam guns are different from the fort defense guns installed by the Federation at the base. In terms of power, this is a pure naval gun, and it is not at the same level as ordinary fort defense guns. Even the most advanced main tank of the Federation can be evaporated by a shot in front of the Alpha Beam Cannon.
After the Alpha Beam Cannon was installed, Chu Jungui asked him to make a target with the armor plate outside the fortress, but it was penetrated by a cannon. The test body was quite satisfied with the power of the Alpha Cannon and stopped testing and was ready to continue to expand production.
With the Alpha Cannon, the base's energy supply began to be insufficient, and Chu Jungui had to start a new round of power furnace production. At this moment, even the test subjects feel that they are in a vicious circle: if there are insufficient materials, increase production, increase production will lead to insufficient energy supply, and increase energy supply will lead to insufficient materials. If the cycle is repeated, it is like more water and more noodles. After adding water, a small mountain-like steamed bun was finally steamed.
After arranging a new round of production, Chu Jungui suddenly felt a tremor under his feet. He immediately rushed to the command platform and turned on the scanning mode. The command platform showed that the source of vibration came from outside the base and gave directions. Chu Jungui walked to the window and looked out, and he saw a group of tanks and heavy vehicles appearing in the distance, rushing towards the base.
This is a regular convoy from the shadows of the doomsday to deploy supplies and personnel between the two bases. It's just that today's fleet is extremely large, and Chu Jungui remembered that in addition to the laboratory where Alpha Crystal was developed ~EbookFREE.me~, the main personnel of the other four laboratories requested to be transferred to Base 2.
Although Doomsday Shadow is regarded as the official base for Jun Chu to return home, the living conditions there are really hard to describe. Even if hundreds of dormitories were seized after the capture of Base No. 2, and all of them were transported to the shadow of Doom, it was only a relief. The original single dormitory now requires 8 people.
So whenever there is a chance, the scientists and researchers who are still in the shadows of the doomsday want to transfer to Base 2. Almost all the laboratories will be moved this time. Nearly a thousand researchers have moved together, and dozens of vehicles have been installed in various research equipment and equipment, plus the personnel and tanks. A huge convoy of 200 vehicles drove into the No. 2 base in a mighty manner.
Chu Jungui didn't expect that after he agreed to move, he would move so many people in one breath. He frowned slightly and began to reflect on whether his past practices were a bit too inhumane.
However, if he does not squeeze production in a way that is close to the limit, Chu Jungui is very worried that at a certain node, the situation will collapse due to insufficient capacity and firepower. The test subject has an almost instinctive instinct for danger, and always feels that a huge shadow is watching him in secret, full of malice.
Chu Jungui watched the chariot driving the convoy slowly enter the gate of the base, but he always felt that something was wrong. However, the scan results showed that everything was normal, and the convoy members were also checked before entering the gate, all of them were soldiers of the army. With the memory of the test body, he remembered everyone in the legion, and he could not make a mistake.
But what is wrong?
Chu Jungui frowned and tightened his eyebrows. Suddenly, his whole body shook and he finally found the source of his anxiety. The vibration he perceives is different from the chariot fleet!
He immediately opened the communication channel and called out: "Ruobai!"
There was no response in the communication channel, only noise.
