"Proliferable nanobots? How can such a thing destroy the Federation? General Gerp was still happy and took the PDA handed to him by Ian.

"The phagocytic material is self-proliferating, it can manipulate the molecular structure, the swarm is intelligent, and the manufacturing process is accelerated...... It looks good, but where is the harm, are the workers unemployed? ”

"The danger is that the day you and other high-ranking officials lose their minds, they use the nano machine swarm as a weapon and put it into the war, and in the end, the nano machine swarm will go berserk and lead to the extinction of the human race, not once or twice." Ian had a rare face. "If I follow the history I know, the world will also develop weapons based on nano swarms in 200 years, destroying alien invaders and human civilization."

"Are you saying there will be an alien invasion in 200 years?" General Gerp was not happy either, and sat squarely at Ian.

"I don't know, that work is set in this universe, but it's completely black history, and the specific timeline doesn't match, but it's the follow-up of the cosmic century, the discovery of aliens ms, the nano machine swarm into the war, the continued use of Minovsky particles, and the destruction of the cosmic century, these are right." Ian thought about the contents of Turn A, which had been blurred. "It must have been around 200 years, and the beam rifle with a single shot that rivaled the main gun of a battleship, and the Minovsky particle flying device used by MS were not particularly difficult things. It can be developed in a matter of decades in the face of extreme federal corruption, and there is no reason why it can't be developed sooner now.

But...... Another part of my memory tells me that the Commonwealth dissolved around 0220, and I forgot why."

Ian vaguely remembers reading a chronology of the cosmic century, but has forgotten the specifics.

"0220 Ah...... It's really a short-lived government, but now that there is a chance to expand its territory and go to deep space, the Federation should not be so short-lived.

Let's talk about the benefits of that nanobot, just talking about the threat is not a possibility. ”

"For example, at the enterprise level, after improving the production line, the shortest production time is close to three months, but if nanorobots are used, if the fleet is sufficient, it may be two or three days.

Xiangluna titanium alloy, a difficult material to produce, is no different from 304 stainless steel, and nanorobots will reconstruct the material from the molecular level.

For new technologies, such as the jump engine I'm building, I can see the test machine the same day it's developed.

In the case of ship maintenance, it is good to spray the nano machine group into the wound, and the machine group will automatically repair the ship's wounds according to the program, which is no different from the new one.

If the technology is mature, nanobots are also very good medical devices, and terminal diseases should disappear. In the case of organ lesions, it is good to reconstruct them directly from the molecular level, and the living dead cannot achieve it, and the flesh and bones are still fine. ”

"Wait, Jump Engine? Is it the kind of thing from Star Wars and Star Trek that flies out for several light-years at once? ”

"yes, although I can't do it for the time being, I can fly out for several light years at once......"

"Then let's let it go, as for the problem of the fleet out of control, it seems that the current federation cannot destroy the world, and the current nuclear weapons in the federation are enough to destroy mankind hundreds of times, and it is not bad this time."

"You're the boss, you're in charge." Ian shrugged. "The job of asking for money will be handed over to you."

"By the way, Ian-kun, if that nanobot is thrown into the war against Zeon......"

"Don't bully people, the second batch of Enterprise and New Salamis, which is already a generation difference from Zeon's Mulse, is now more about beating disobedient children than war. Throw in new technology, and that's basically slaughter. Ian replied angrily. Once the technology matures, the production of a 5,000-ton warship and the production of 5,000 tons of cement will cost one, how do you let Zeon fight? You can even throw a fleet into the asteroid belt to multiply itself, build warships, and even the cost is gone, and you will have a full fleet in two months. Instead of trying to beat Zeon, think about how to carry out deep space exploration and space colonization. ”

Ian rambling as he left Admiral Gerp's office.

"By the way, don't forget, you're not alone, God knows when a Super Galactic Empire will pop up." Ian suddenly looked back and added.

"Got it, got it, you're busy with your going." With a wave of his hand, General Bill drove Ian away.

"And ......," Ian pushed open the office door again. Have you ever heard of the man Saiyam Best? ”

General Bill nodded stiffly with the phone in his hand.

"Threatened?"

Nodding his head.

"Take it back as soon as possible, the new type will inevitably appear, and there will be more and more, it is estimated that in more than ten years, the newborns born in the universe are estimated to be all new type, anyway, the scandal is 79 years ago."

This time, Ian really went back to the institute.

Admiral Gerp picked up the phone again after making sure Ian was gone at the office window.

"Speaker Massellas, find a time to meet, are you coming to South America or am I going to Washington?"

"What's wrong?"

"The Federation may have a chance to continue the deep space program, too."

"Deep space program? You mean that outer universe exploration program that was shelved 50 years ago? Didn't it go on hold because the spaceship didn't live up to the planned performance? ”

"Maybe it won't be long before the performance requirements are met...... General Gerp said leisurely. Maybe even the performance is out of line. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"Yi Anjun is developing a transition engine, and is preparing to develop a nanomaterial that can completely liberate the productivity of the Federation, if I understand correctly, the productivity of the Federation in the future can be considered to be endless."

"You're going too far, I'll put the deep space plan on the agenda, under the pretext that the Federation is building a spaceship with a speed close to one-tenth of a beam, and the rest will wait for the results." The Speaker, for his part, is not very convinced that this revolutionary material will appear.

"Then you prepare in advance, if it is really as good as he said, the emergence of nanobots will have a fatal blow to the existing industrial system."

"Then it's better not to put it in the market first. When you see a new technology that will replace the existing one overnight, it's all one step at a time. ”

“…… Cut, I forgot about it when I was too excited, and I will talk about it when there are results. ”

-- Dividing line --

A few days later, Ian left the Gabro base and took a special flight to the Federal Research Center for Nanomaterials in France.

There, the scientists of the federation who are best at nanomaterials, robot manipulation, molecular structure and other technologies are gathered here.

Walking out of the plane, there were already a bunch of scholars in white coats or military uniforms waiting for Ian on the tarmac, and this group of people stared at Ian as he walked down the stairs with burning eyes.

"It seems that you already know what we are going to do, and we may open the door to the future, or we may destroy the Federation directly, and leave here as soon as possible before you are ready to become a sinner in the Federation, and return to your original subject."

Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Ian was a little puzzled.

"You should understand that the blow of nanobots to the existing industrial system, monetary system, and other basic systems is devastating."

"The reason why scientists develop new technologies is that the technology is waiting to be developed, and politicians should think about political matters."

"Then let's go, I'll send you the basic theory later, and we'll study the specific technology slowly."

"But the most basic and basic, we need to get the carbon nanotubes out of it. Is there anyone who is good at carbon nanotube technology? ”

There was an embarrassing silence......

"Eh...... "Ian has a little pain." Are there any recommendations for anyone? ”

"Actually, we all know a little bit, carbon nanotubes are basically the basic technology of nanotechnology-related industries...... a certain scholar next to him whispered.

"That's it, let's do it first, and if there is a need, let's find someone." Ian didn't know how much this would be, what if there were big bulls in the group?

Then, Ian understood what it means to know some basic technology, this group of people has basically eaten nanotube technology thoroughly, and in this world, nanotube technology has been used for more than 200 years......

"You guys are really humble...... Ian looked at this group of people who could figure out the nanobot technology they had deduced based on the nanomaterials of the Sea Mist Fleet, and even some of the bigwigs had already taken a step forward and started to design nano-sized computers, and the frustration was super strong.

There is no way that the data of nanomaterials in the system is reduced to the data of the people, and the origin and basic technology Ian does not understand anything...... It is only possible to reverse the prototype of nanomaterials from the sea fog armor materials that have been used for hundreds of years, which is no less difficult than reversing the transistor display according to the LCD display...... Of course, from the perspective of time span, it should be the principle of ancient firecrackers that is reversed from antimatter bombs......

While Ian was in full swing with the development of nanobots, the war between the Federation and Zeon reached a new stage.

"Confirmed?"

"It is confirmed, the Zeon Mars Residency Fleet robbed the Jupiter ship group, and under the desperate resistance of Jupiteris I and his escort fleet, only two storage tanks filled with helium-3 were lost."

"Oh, only the ...... is missing," Rebile hesitated for several seconds before he couldn't hold back and not throw the PDA in his hand in the face of the reporting staff officer. If memory serves, a tank of helium-3 is enough to make a fusion bomb that can scorch the earth. ”

"Strictly speaking, you can blow up all the colonies by the way." The staff officer casually added.

"Where did all this helium-3 go?" Ray Bill put down the PDA and rubbed his temples. Damn, my skull hurts.

"Half of it was delivered to Aksis, and half of it was being transported to the A.B. Waku fortress according to the forecast of the fleet's orbital operation. In addition, Axis has one month to enter the Earth's sphere, and in about 37 days, he will be able to reach Zeon mainland. ”

"A month...... That is to say, in February 0080, the time for a decisive battle has come, let the fleet raise its alert level and be ready to start a decisive battle at any time. ”

Thirty days later, Axis was captured by Earth's gravity, and the front of the Axis Cross could be seen by the average household telescope on Earth at the right time.

Returning with Axis is the Martian Resident Fleet of the Zeon Army. On the same day, Axis broadcast in the full band of the Earth's circle: "I'm waiting for my return, Sieg Zeon!" ”

On the same day, the A. Bar Waku Fortress and the Zeon Army fleet flocked out, and there were more than 150 improved Mulsey, 7 Gwagin, more than 30 imitation Magellan-class, and 2 super-large aircraft carriers Doros class, more than 500 simple MS, more than 300 Zagu 2 improved models, more than 100 Great Demons, more than 150 Warriors, more than 40 MA Bigelows, 6 Grand Zams, and 9 MAs that look similar to Apsas 3. In the face of such a huge fleet, the First and Third Fleets of the Federation Army urgently set off from the Lunar Base and Luna 2 to support the Second Fleet stationed in Side3.

After leaving behind a minimal garrison fleet, the Second Fleet led by Thiam set sail to join the Third Fleet from the lunar base. Even if all the new ships have been replaced, it will take a day for the First Fleet to arrive at Side3 from the Luna 2 on the other side of the earth.

As the 2nd and 3rd Fleets prepared to face the Zeon fleet off the coast of Side3, the Zeon fleet turned to Side5 Rum. Threatens to conduct a second British operation as a salute for the return of the Axis and Martian garrisons.

There was no way, the Federation fleet could only turn to the Rum Domain. Prepare for an encounter with the Zeon fleet off the coast of Rum.

At this time, the Second and Third Fleets had all been reequipped and reorganized, and each fleet had 16 enterprise-class ships with 4 formations, 32 aviation-type Salamis with 8 formations, 32 shelling types of Salamis, 16 Lepanto-class missile frigates, 2 Hive-class large aircraft carriers, and 8 Columbus-class aircraft carriers. Carries more than 384 Orca 2s and the same number of MSs of all models. The replacement Magellan-class and the old Salamis, after being upgraded, will be reorganized into the Reserve Fourth Fleet and the First Teaching Fleet.

"Thiam-kun, the size of the evenly matched fleet...... "Vice Admiral Warken of the Third Fleet connected with the Admiral of the Second Fleet, Thiam.

"yes, evenly matched in size." Thiam looked at the statistics of Zeon's fleet and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Now the course of the fleets of both sides is a V-shape, and it will be here that our first Enterprise class enters the effective range, and at this point, the last Enterprise class enters the effective range. If it does not slow down, the Zeon fleet will accelerate to a relative speed of 45 kilometers per second and rush directly into the Side5 space. That would be catastrophic. ”

"Zeon's fleet could not have come out with great fanfare to commit suicide, and according to past Msei performance, this is the place where the battle is expected. It is impossible for us to wreck a battleship at full speed, and the consequences of a battleship that has become wreckage and ram a colony are catastrophic. ”

"Let's take one step at a time, my Second Fleet crew is more familiar, let's go to the Zeon Fleet to grab the T head in front, and your Third Fleet will pull up the artillery formation on the side and attack the enemy fleet from the flank."

"Yes, you have to be careful."

"Hmph, you still need to say, the fleet accelerates, overloads the engine, the power is 120%, and rushes to the front of the Zeon fleet!" Tyam rotated his hat 180 degrees and snapped it on his head. "It's time to hunt!"
