Chapter 378: The Prototype of a Xenomorph Battleship (Part II)

Aisha's two heterochromatic pupils turned to Todd, she was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't hear what you said just now?"

Compared with Aisha, the three scholars who were in contact with the biotechnology of Dusk West City more frequently fell into deep thought after a brief shock.

After a few seconds, Terrence gave a suggestion: "Your Majesty, when it comes to the study of parasites and microorganisms, there is perhaps a scholar who has more say. ”

"Who?"

Wayne Dunlop. ”

Todd was surprised: "Wayne, the veterinarian-turned-scholar, the one who wants to uncover the mysteries of the soul?"

Terrence hesitated a little before saying the next words: "Wayne is a very intelligent and hardworking scholar, and his research in the field of biology is unmatched in the whole of Twilight University...... But, Your Majesty, please always remember that there has always been a major problem with his empathy, and I would like you to take his family's words as a reference only. ”

Todd nodded, stretched out his hand and directly summoned Wayne into the soul space.

Wearing a blood-stained surgical gown and a fishy smell all over his body, Wayne held a half-eaten wheat cake and looked at the people in front of him in surprise, and then he turned his face to Todd: "Your Majesty, you ......"

Todd looked at his outfit and snapped his fingers with a frown, and Wayne suddenly changed into a clean regular suit, and the smell of the air disappeared.

In a few simple words to a bewildered Wayne, Terrence introduced the topic of the meeting and the purpose of calling him in.

After making sure that everyone was ready, Todd flicked the 3D modeling table with his hand and sent in the model of the "Dragon Bone Parasite": "The Dragon Bone Parasite modified by the Tyrant Virus can be fused with other abnormal bacteria to obtain the properties of its ability. ”

Wayne asked at this time, "Your Majesty, what is the Tyrant Virus?"

Todd listened to his question, and then remembered that the Tyrant Virus is now in a state of absolute secrecy, and the entire Twilight Kingdom, only he has the right to touch.

But in order to explain the principle of the xenomorph warship, there is no way to take care of these at this time.

"The Tyrant Virus is an extremely rare microorganism that can fuse two or more Anomalous Bacteria to form a new Anomaly, or inject it into a parasite with a Paracultural Bacterium to give the parasite the properties of a Parabacterial Paravirus. ”

Wayne nodded calmly in understanding, but there was a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

"Using the Tyrant Virus to give the keel parasite the ability of regenerating bacteria will allow the latter to prolong and deform. Todd manipulated the parasite in the model, stretching it to several meters, and continued: "Since the keel is smaller in weight than solid wood, but harder than steel, it is the best hull material. ”

In the picture, the keel parasite attached to the "regeneration" slowly extends and spreads out, just like the usual shipbuilding process in the dockyard, first the keel, then the beam, then the deck, and finally the ship's side.

A ship transformed from parasite limbs appeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

While thinking, Terrence looked at the model and asked, "Your Majesty, if the tyrant virus you are talking about really has such a wonderful effect, then the keel can indeed be used as a material for the hull of a ship." But how much of a hull can a keel cover, and how many keels do you need to build a 40-meter-long battleship?"

"40 meters? No, no, no. Todd waved his hand and said, "Although the keel growth has a high ceiling, the oversized hull will slow down the transmission of information, which is not conducive to combat, and this is the first experimental ship, so I want to control the size within fifteen meters." ”

Aisha asked in surprise, "A battleship within fifteen meters in length?"

Todd gave her a blank look, and changed the hull model to the usual small dhow.

Pointing to the very center of the hull, Todd said, "This is the core of the ship, where the host parasitized by the keel will be located, and the latter will also manage all the functions of the hull through the nervous system of the keel." ”

Moving his hand to the sail again, Todd continued: "The mast will be made from the limbs of the keel parasite, and the host can control the lifting and moving of the mast through the core area. ”

Todd thought for a moment, and added a lot of small oars to the bottom of the boat, which looked like many "duck feet".

"At the bottom of the ship there are 'underwater oars' formed by the limbs of parasites, which can increase the speed of the ship or reverse the ship under the command of the host. ”

Aisha glanced at the strange ship full of tentacles and asked Todd, "You still haven't touched on an important question, what is the ship's weapon?"

Todd heard Aisha's question, leaned back, frowned, and said, "That's right, weapons are a big problem. ”

Terrence asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the keel parasite seems to be able to shoot flames, and if it doesn't attack enough, it can move a bed crossbow and throw stones?"

Aisha said: "It may be okay against ordinary merchant ships, but in the face of the high-caliber guns of the Imperial warships, which are thousands of meters away, this kind of attack is simply not enough. ”

Todd rubbed his hand on the top of his head, and while he was struggling to think of a solution, Wayne Dunlop, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a parasite called 'spores' in the kingdom's xenogeneous library?"

"Spores?" Todd didn't realize for a moment what it was.

"It's a spheroid-like parasite filled with nitroglycerin, the kind of substance you said could be used as explosives. ”

After Wayne's reminder, Todd finally remembered what a "spor" was.

During the defense of the Froststone Camp, there are several she-wolves that blew themselves up, and this parasite is hidden in their bodies.

Wayne saw that everyone was confused, so he sent the "spores" to the 3D model table: "This strange parasite is in a stable state in normal times. Once subjected to external pressure, the body will turn red, and then a violent explosion will occur. ”

Terrence asked, "How powerful was the explosion?"

Wayne's words made the others gasp: "An adult spore can blow up a strong bunker." ”

Elijah nodded and said, "If there is such power, then it is completely enough to fight against the Imperial warship." ”

Aisha didn't miss any chance to pour cold water on it: "Even if this parasite is powerful, what about the power of the weapon?

Wayne's face darkened: "Indeed, how to let the spores crash into the enemy's battleship is a big problem. ”

Elijah said at this time, "Your Majesty, I have designed a black powder thruster. ”

Todd asked curiously, "Black Powder Thruster?"

Elijah sent out a tubular model that resembled a 'barracuda': "Originally, I wanted to use this invention for surface surveying, but now that I think about it, it is appropriate to use it here." ”

"Look, here's the powder magazine, here's the stabilizer wing, here's the jet. When in use, as long as the lead of the tail is ignited, the air flow of the gunpowder burning jet will propel the entire object, moving quickly on the surface of the water. And all we have to do is ......"

“...... Tie a spore parasite to the head. While Todd finished making up Elijah's words, he looked at the thruster in the picture, and suddenly felt shocked, isn't this a torpedo?

The design of the xenomorph experimental ship has been carried out at this point, and most of it has been completed, and the next thing is to assign the work.

"Wayne, you're familiar with biology, and you're in charge of the creation of xenomorph warships. ”

Todd's words made Wayne Dunlop overjoyed, but Terrence frowned.

"Your Majesty, Wayne is good at biology, but he doesn't know much about physics and hull construction. I recommended my disciple Elijah as his deputy to assist him in the construction of the battleship. ”

Todd nodded in agreement with Terrence's request.

"And me!" Aisha exclaimed excitedly, looking at the hull model.

Todd looked at her, "What are you messing with?"

"I know all the combat data of the Imperial warship, don't you need this information when the new ship is tested?"

Todd thought for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.
