Chapter 10 Research Project
10. Research Project
The CF/A-17 Ghost fighter is the main fighter of the Terran Empire in "StarCraft".
Tang Xiao also discovered that the CF/A-17 Phantom fighter that can now be researched and manufactured is only an early model and does not have a pulse laser installed for ground attack.
But no matter what, the Ghost Fighter is a fighter that can fight in the atmosphere and the universe at the same time, and it was also proven in the plot of "StarCraft" in the war with the Protoss and Zerg. Excellent fighter.
Moreover, later models of this fighter will also be equipped with a stealth system, becoming a truly terrifying killer - a stealth fighter!
Although the current technology system of the mothership belongs to "Homeworld", if you want to build a ghost fighter, you must overcome the gap in production technology and technology between "Homeworld" and "StarCraft", but Tang Xiao believes that this difficulty Must be breached!
As a technological product of the human system, the resources needed to digest and analyze the technology of the Terran Empire in "StarCraft" should still be under control.
Seeing that the manager had made up his mind, Qi Jian did not continue to pester. As a subordinate, he needs to put forward his opinions and concerns, and then let Tang Xiao make the decision. All he had left now was obedience.
Tang Xiao called Daphne Clement and asked: "In the warehouse of the mothership, is there also a modular building of the Engineering Research Institute? How large is it?"
Clement replied: "Considering that engineering research involves certain risks and many experiments require a lot of space, the mothership carries a modular scientific research space station. It can accommodate approximately 200 experts. Experiments and research will be carried out inside. "
"Give the people in the engineering department an order to start building this engineering research space station immediately. It is best to start operating it today!" Tang Xiao ordered.
"Yes!"
Tang Xiao opened the mothership's character awakening database and began to search for suitable candidates. Among the elite, he found three engineering experts, woke them up and called them to the bridge.
The three experts, two women and one man, were all between 30 and 40 years old. After seeing Tang Xiao, they saluted respectfully. The female expert in the lead said: "Hello, manager. My name is Guan Yan, an expert in energy science. This is Dr. Feng Yongwang, an expert in mechanics. This is Dr. Qu Xuewen, an expert in materials science.”
Tang Xiao was not polite and directly assigned them a task, "I need to start research on two projects at the same time, one is infrared laser weapons, and the other is this kind of research - CF/A-17 Phantom fighter. What are the requirements? , I will try my best to be satisfied with it."
Guan Yan frowned and thought for a while and said: "The research on infrared laser weapons... It is best to equip me with at least 20 people majoring in physics. But this fighter..."
She handed the data to the male expert, "What do you think? Dr. Feng."
Feng Yongwang, wearing glasses, looked at the Phantom fighter and shook his head slightly. , "There are many technological systems that are different from ours. Although this problem is not impossible to overcome, it may take longer. Dr. Qu and I will team up. Let's do some preliminary preparations first. Initially We don’t need too many personnel, just 5 mechanical majors. I will gradually put forward more personnel and material requirements.”
“What about the time?” Tang Xiao asked.
"The complete data is here, so the research and application of infrared laser weapons should be completed within a month." Dr. Guan Yan replied.
“It’s hard to say about the Ghost Fighter. Although the data is very complete, it will take a year to analyze it to the extent that we can use it and produce it. If there are master-level experts to lead this It would be great if more and better talents join the team, and our research progress will be greatly improved," Feng Yongwang said.
"I will fully cooperate with the personnel and materials. Let's start working first. Thank you for your hard work." Tang Xiao nodded and said.
"No way, manager. You are the one at the helm, and we only need to do our jobs well. It is us who should thank you." Qu Xuewen was much smoother, smiling. Said to Tang Xiao. "I will make a list of requirements." Guan Yan said.
No matter where you are, scientific research is a laborious, money- and time-consuming activity... Looking at the long list of supplies constantly appearing on the screen, Tang Xiao kept smiling on the surface, but he was bleeding inside.
Now that the colony has finally begun to improve, it has some material reserves, but now it is all thrown to the scientific research team.
……
The outer ring of the Milky Way, the West, the Model Sector, hyperspace.
“We are about to leave the hyperspace jump. It’s time to wake up, my dear.” On a disc-shaped Corellia YT-1000 light spacecraft, a human woman controlling the spacecraft said to the pilot next to her. member said.
The person taking a nap in the driver's seat was a man in his 30s. He shook his head and said, "I'm really starting to miss Corellia's bubble wine. After this order, I have to go home and have a good sleep." "Well, at least three days."
"The Corellia Galaxy is not a place where low-class people like us can live, Quinto. I prefer this, free and unrestrained." He went over and kissed his lover on the forehead.
"That damn machine has a problem again!" There was an angry curse from the rear cabin, and then there was a bang. Someone should have kicked the machine, and then a Rodian came out.
The Rodian looks like an upright seahorse, with bulging eyes and no eyelids, and its mouthparts stick out like straws. This is a hunting nation. Even if they join the Galactic Republic and enter the interstellar era, they are more engaged in the work of bounty hunters.
"What happened? Spud." Quinto turned around and asked.
"Ah, it's not a big problem, it's just that you will die. Ferasi, you should be able to see that the seventh indicator light on your left is flashing abnormally, right?" the Rodian said angrily.
The woman looked back and immediately shouted, "Oh my God! The hyperspace diverter is not responding! How could this happen!!" She hurriedly operated on the console for a while, but it was of no use.
"Okay, now we can only pray that we won't be torn apart when leaving hyperspace." Spud spread his hands, sat on the ground and accepted his fate.
“The hyperspace diverter protects us from being torn apart by physical phenomena when we leave hyperspace. If this thing malfunctions, we will not be able to start a hyperspace jump. So, if it weren’t for us now After eight lifetimes of great luck, if something goes wrong during the jump, then..." Before Quinto could finish his words, the spacecraft left hyperspace.
If you look outside, you will see that the spacecraft appears out of nowhere in the universe almost instantly.
After a violent shaking, they finally stabilized the spacecraft. Quinto looked at the behemoth that appeared in front of him and murmured: "That's man-made..."
"The Spirit of Kalaya...what is this!!" Felasi looked at what was in front of him. Everyone was stunned by the horrific scene.
It can be seen on the radar that a giant crescent-shaped spacecraft is slowly moving in the synchronous orbit of the planet. This spacecraft was so huge that when they looked through the portholes of their YT-1000 light spacecraft, they could only see an endless metal wall!
