Sitting in the carriage, feeling the bumps in the road, Todd glanced at Wayne, who was holding the document in his arms, and said, "You said that you have solved the biggest problem of xenomorph weapons, what do you mean?"

Wayne scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the actual combat results of the first xenomorph battleship, we summed up some shortcomings at the beginning. The first and most important problem is that during the war, the keel parasite will extract a large amount of nutrients from the host, which can cause serious damage to the host. ”

Todd nodded: "Dragonbone parasite, all the nutrients for action come from the parasite. If it's just the size of the dragon bone armor, it's not a big deal...... However, a warship tens of meters long, its steering, parking, repairing, propulsion, and a series of actions require a large amount of nutrients to be extracted, which is a disaster for the parasitic host. ”

"That's right, the weak body of a human being is simply not enough to provide nutrients for a large xenomorph weapon. I've done experiments over and over again, and a sturdy adult man, with normal nutrient intake, can only support the wartime consumption of a xenomorph battleship for forty-five minutes...... Moreover, the xenomorph warship in our hands now is only about twenty meters long, and in terms of tonnage, it can only be regarded as a fishing boat at best. ”

Hearing this, Todd frowned, and he clearly understood that the "experiment" in Wayne's mouth was a death experiment conducted by death row prisoners and prisoners of war. Some of the humans arrested in the rebellion three years ago were tested and developed as consumables by the veterinarian in front of them in an extremely inhumane way after falsifying death records.

"At first, regarding the problem of the energy consumption of xenomorph weapons, I designed a large bioenergy chamber on the xenomorph warship. Wayne posed a rectangular shape with his hands: "A specially designed cabin is specially designed to store a large number of biological culture tanks, put the human beings in deep sleep into the culture tank, and then pierce the mouthparts of the keel parasite into their bodies." In this way, these people have become the energy source of the xenomorph weapon, and can continuously provide energy to the xenomorph weapon. ”

Wayne touched his chin, as if to say a trivial matter: "During the non-war period, the internal circulation system of these humanoid energy bodies can fully meet the daily consumption of xenomorph weapons; At the end of the war, the xenomorph warship docked to resupply, and all these dried corpses were cleaned out and re-injected into new human bodies. ”

Not noticing Todd's darkening face, Wayne continued to himself: "Originally, I was quite optimistic about this method, but after actual operation, I found a problem...... The cost of using humans to make bioenergy is too high, and xenomorph weapons cannot be mass-produced at all. ”

"I made a hypothesis that if a 137-meter-long xenomorph destroyer was built, in order to maintain the maximum consumption during the war, then it would have to carry at least 87 standard physique human energy bodies. Moreover, this group of energy bodies can only last for three hours at most. ”

"According to this method of consumption, a small-scale naval battle needs to drain the body nutrients of seven hundred adults. In the long run, no matter how big a country is, it will not be able to support this kind of consumption. ”

Todd coughed heavily, and said in a deep voice with an ugly face: "Using humans as an energy source for xenomorph weapons, this kind of experiment is forbidden in the future!"

Wayne, who was immersed in xenomorph experiments, didn't hear the strangeness in Todd's mouth at all, and the former continued excitedly: "As a host, humans themselves are not suitable for carrying xenomorph weapons, and their bodies are in front of the keel parasite, and there is no way to satisfy the latter's appetite. So...... I set my sights on the Holy Cult Army......"

Hearing Wayne's words, Todd's eyes widened angrily, his entire body began to grow rapidly, thin dragon scales grew on his skin, traces of flames appeared at the corners of his mouth, and a pair of dragon wings broke out from behind him.

The entire carriage exploded into a pile of scrap metal in an instant in the expansion of Todd's body.

"Bastard, you are using those believers of the Holy Cult Army as xenomorph experiments?!" Todd, who transformed into a dragon, glared at the humans in front of him and shouted, "Who gave you the power?!Who gave you the guts?!"

Looking at the increasingly huge dragon in front of him, Wayne Dunlop instantly understood the other party's anger, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not like you think! I don't use the Holy Cult Army as an energy source for xenomorph weapons, and besides, I've abandoned the plan of the bioenergy pod......"

Hearing Wayne's self-defense, Todd stopped his body from continuing to change, stared at Wayne with dark golden dragon eyes, and roared, "Go on!"

"Although the physical condition of the Holy Cult Army is far stronger than that of humans, if they are used as the energy source of xenomorph weapons, they still cannot meet the needs of large weapons!"

Wayne panicked, took out a piece of paper from the scattered documents and put it in front of Todd, and said urgently: "Through the soul totem, I went to the library of the Heavenly Research Institute, and found a solution to the energy supply of xenomorph weapons in it. ”

Todd looked down at the pattern on the paper with an exploded view of a battleship.

Wayne said loudly at this time: "What should I do if the energy consumption of a large xenomorph warship is too large and the cost of action is too high? ”

Todd was stunned: "Module?"

For example, a large xenomorph warship can be divided into many functional areas, such as weapon area, thruster area, steering area, ship armor area, etc., and each area can continue to be subdivided into smaller modules, such as the thruster area can be subdivided into propeller module 1, propeller module 2, bearing module 1, bearing module 2, and so on. ”

Wayne pointed to the hundreds of small modules on the exploded view of the battleship and explained, "Each module is made up of a Tyrant Bone Parasite, and each Dragon Bone Drone transforms into a corresponding shape according to the function of its module. For example, in the case of the propeller module, the keel is transformed into a propeller thruster. Another example is the ship armor module, where the keel is transformed into a piece of ship armor. ”

Todd pondered and asked, "So, how are the modules linked and combined with each other?"

Wayne opened the five fingers of his hands and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the bones of the keel parasite contain a nervous system, and two adjacent keel parasites can connect each other's nervous systems through connection, so that commands and signals are constantly transmitted in all keels like water." ”

"In this way, as long as a huge xenomorph warship is divided into hundreds or thousands of small modules, each module is composed of a dragon bone parasite, so that the host of each dragon bone parasite will be greatly reduced in the pressure of nutrient extraction. ”

Wade explained, "The Holy Cult Army I mentioned earlier wanted to place them in some modules with high consumption. For example, thrusters, weapons, and ship armor modules, the nutrients they need to extract during the war are beyond the reach of ordinary humans, and only a few alien races in the Holy Cult Army can assume the position of host, such as orcs, minotaurs, ......"

After listening to Wayne's explanation, Todd closed his eyes, slowly returned from dragon form to human form, and then opened his eyes to look at the coachmen and guards who were kneeling on the ground and didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, and said calmly: "It's okay, let's all get up." ”

Todd took the robe handed by the servant, draped it on his body, looked at Wayne, and said calmly: "Regarding the modular scheme of the xenomorph weapon, talk as you go." ”
