Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“Looks pretty good. ”

Just as the crew of the Qin Ling were stunned by the scene of the gunfire, many officers of the Ark and First Fleet Command, far from LaGrand Point Space Base, similarly witnessed the storm pouring like a waterfall towards an asteroid belt.

With a total of 67 targets, an automated artillery array of simulated air thieves is deployed in a fan-shaped manner in an asteroid belt area 10 kilometres wide, relying on meteorites and asteroids as shelters.

However, even with asteroids and meteorites as cover, it took less than a minute to destroy all targets.

Immediately thereafter, the Qin Ling practiced a series of subjects, such as overhead strikes on over-the-horizon moving targets and long-range raids on space ports, according to the script of the exercise.

Looking at the green spot on the radar, and the amazing test data, the officers in command held their breath in shock.

I haven't seen the world before. It's hard to figure out who's the natural future.

“It's more than good!” It took me half a day to take over the Ark, and Commander Sun, who had returned from the shock, squeezed his fist excitedly, and couldn't help but tremble with the gray hair of the horn, “I dare say, once this technology appeared on the battlefield, it would surely be crushing for a starship without a warp speed engine installed! Even in the face of aliens, we all have confidence and one of them! ”

The Ark laughed and said, “Don't be too full of words. If there are any aliens, they can touch the Earth. Either they've been running for tens of thousands of years before us, or they must have mastered similar hypervelocity technologies. … Either way, it's not that easy to deal with. ”

With regard to the Ark, Commander Sun Liwei merely smiled and gave no comment.

After seeing Qin Ling's performance in the experiment, he can say that he has tremendous confidence in the future of the First Fleet. If in the past they were only overwhelmingly powerful for other fleets in the solar system, then now that they possess second-generation controllable fusion and warp speed navigation technology, they exist as if they were gods!

It only took less than three seconds from LaGrand Day to the asteroid belt!

Strategically, this rapidly deployable capability allows one of their fleets to act as a strategic deterrent to several fleets.

From a tactical point of view, this jump cruise not only avoids radar and radio telescope tracking, but can also change battlefield positions in an instant, whether escaping the range of fire tracking of the other party or suddenly flashing behind the other party to pre-emptively dump a round of guns, these tactics will be possible.

Of course, if there are any weaknesses, this warp speed navigation technique is not without weaknesses.

For example, hyperspace channels can only be opened normally if the starship is located between two large mass objects, and the effect of Z particles on the spatial curvature can be superimposed on the vibration state of other Z particles.

That is, as long as the general course of the target starship and the direction of navigation are known, warp speed navigation can theoretically be “intercepted”. Even this technology is not very difficult at all, just a more powerful device similar to a Z particle oscillator is needed.

However, there is no difficulty in this, just for the ark.

It takes a lot of time for other regional alliances on the planet, even pan-Asian cooperation with warp speed technology, to light up this branch of the technology tree.

Therefore, at least at this stage, Commander Sun's judgment is that there is nothing wrong.

With the first fleet to master warp speed navigation technology, the range of force projections will rise completely by an order of magnitude, and the maximum operational radius will also be multiplied by thousands of times directly from the original 0.5-1AU.

However, compared to Commander Sun's optimism, it is not that no one disagrees to the contrary.

Staring at the test data on the holographic screen, a General Staff officer thought for a long time and could not help but say his concerns.

“I admit that the fire on the Qin Ling is indeed strong enough in that sense alone. But I think that a single way of exporting firepower can ultimately have a negative impact on its combined combat power. If there is no guide weapon...”

“There is no need to guide weapons at all. ”

Looking at the officer, the Ark laughed and said, "Although I am not an expert in the military field, and this sentence may be a little too absolute, at least under the current technical conditions, no missile can go into the hyperspace tunnel and not for a long time to come. ”

Warp speed navigation is not done with the mounting engine, which not only consumes a considerable amount of energy, but also involves a series of complex spatial curvature calculations.

It is absolutely impossible to integrate a series of sophisticated devices on a single missile, such as a second-generation controllable fusion reactor, a Z-particle oscillator, and sensors and quantum processors responsible for calculating the channel, with current technology.

Not even now, the Ark can assert with great confidence that even a hundred years from now, it will not necessarily be possible to find a way to produce such weapons.

……

After the live ammunition exercise, the Qinling returned to the space port at the LaGrand Daytime Space Base.

Seeing such a beautiful answer sheet, Commander Sun Liwei finally relieved himself to hand the Qin Ling to the Ark and let him go to do that experiment on the hyperspace channel.

For convenience, after a circle aboard the Qinling, Captain Deng sent himself back to the Skyboat and then returned to Jinling by sky shuttle.

He's been doing a lot of work lately and doesn't have much time to waste on him.

Aside from improving the warp speed engine, the interplanetary highway system is waiting for him to drill. While there is some technical correlation between the latter two, neither can be easily accomplished.

This involves not only a considerable amount of calculations.

It takes more patience…

As a result, another month had passed, and it had come to June.

Sitting in front of the laboratory bench, facing the dazzling pile of parts laid out in the holographic blueprint, the ark grabbed the hair of the back of its head with some headaches.

“What a big head...”

Improving the warp speed engine is good to say that the problem lies mainly in the calculation and selection of hyperspace lanes. His informatics level now is LV10, and with the help of Em, optimizing the calculation module of the warp speed engine, integrating a single multi-core quantum processor on the engine, basically solves the problem.

However, the interstellar highway stargate...

How to connect real-time, repositioned planets in a few fixed straight lines has made the ark difficult for a while.

Sneaking a moment to look at the calendar, he suddenly popped up next to a pop-up window of communication requests as he was planning to pass his emotional time so quickly.

As soon as he saw that the communication request had come from the Graduate, and the ark was not lazy, he switched off the holographic system in front of him and put on his personal terminal and walked to the lounge next to him, pressing the button on.

As soon as the video telephone was connected, the face of Reverend Gweizhi appeared in front of him. Seeing as if he had something to say, his old face rose red, and his eyes filled with excitement, he couldn't help but crawl out of the video window.

“Lu, Master Lu! ”

“What's the trouble again? In such a hurry. ”

“No, not trouble! Yes, it's good! ”

Sitting on the sofa on an ark, he looked at the agitated old man with a grin.

I just wanted to give him his first glass of water and poured it on him before realizing that Dean Gweizhi was just a holographic projection and had to drink it himself.

“What the hell is going on? Don't worry. ”

“It's a space elevator! ”

After taking a deep breath, he finally calmed himself down and looked at the ark with excitement. Academician Gweizhi continued with a trembling voice.

“Our Phase I project has been completed! ”
