180 Energy Crystals
As usual, Lin Fan took the two women and dozens of members of the expert group to the surface of Laika Star on a shuttle ship.
Lorne naturally arranged a grand welcome ceremony, and a full 10,000 royal knights formed two rows from the air to the front of the palace, forming a passage, and Lin Fan's shuttle ship descended along this road.
Through the porthole, a group of experts really took a keen interest in the knight and speculated about its principle.
Some people even put forward the idea that if we get the technology of the Laika Empire, can we upgrade this technology to replace the current mecha?
And for Lin Fan, he can understand serving as a battle armor, and he can also understand the mount, these knights can achieve it, but the question is, how do such a small mount and the battle armor worn by the knight obtain energy?
You know, just the battle armor and mechanical mounts, in fact, humans can make it with a single research, but the energy you need to drive these things is terrifying, even humans can't make such a strong energy source so small!
This kind of energy is definitely not worse than nuclear fusion, the key is that this Laika civilization is only a level 2 civilization, how did you come up with such a high-end energy source?
However, Lin Fan believed that the people of the expert group would be able to handle this, and he was also very optimistic about this Laika civilization, thinking that it should not be too much of a problem for them to join the civilization affiliated to the Human Federation through evaluation.
When the ship reached the surface, Lorne was already waiting with a group of ministers.
Although Lin Fan had said that they had no malicious intent, for a force that could easily destroy the Kabat Empire and was still a fourth-level civilization, no matter how careful and cautious they were, it was not wrong.
After introducing each other, Lin Fan naturally looked the same way and took the two girls out to play, and Lorne also arranged a team of royal knights for him to escort him.
Speaking of which, Laika people are actually very similar to earthlings, they are about the same height and body shape, the same human shape, and their appearance is also very similar, the difference is that Laika people have blue skin and an extra eye on their foreheads than humans, which is quite similar to someone in human mythology.
As he saw along the way, Lin Fan found that the Laika people were actually not much different from the Federation's technology line, and even had a feeling of returning to Earth, but their military technology was very crooked.
Unlike earthlings, knights are just ancient synonyms, and since the advent of thermal weapons, in fact, the development path of this profession has actually been broken.
The Laika people are different, the knights have too much influence on their culture, and no matter how advanced the technology is, their knightly way is still sacred.
So, in terms of military technology, the Laika people are a little crooked, they do not develop spaceships, but go all out to develop knights, the original mount has become a mechanical mount, and the original armor has become a high-tech single battle armor.
And the most exaggerated thing is their weapons, the knight's spear and knight's sword held by the knight are simply like battleship guns, you don't look at the knight knight charging with a knight's spear and think they are ready to go up for melee combat, in fact, the knight gun they are holding is a long-range weapon, and it is also a beam long-range weapon, and the spear head can shoot a beam of energy.
As for the knight's sword, it is even more ruined, it feels like a big swordsman in a certain migrant worker anime in Lin Fan's previous life, and with a wave of his hand, a sword qi goes out, of course, this is not sword qi, but an application of energy, but the form of expression was made into the appearance of sword qi by the Laika Empire.
To put it simply, the Knight Lance is a long-range high-power weapon, while the Knight Sword is a medium-to-short-range medium-power weapon, and the mount is a single-handed aircraft.
After understanding this, even Lin Fan wanted to get a set of knight equipment to try, it was really too fan.
And these days of play, Lin Fan also learned about the problem of the energy of the Laika Empire, in fact, it is not how strong the energy technology of the Laika Empire is, but in this star system, several resource stars are rich in a crystal, which is called an energy crystal by the Laika people.
The crystal itself has no energy, but interestingly, it can store energy, and it can store a lot of energy.
Even a small crystal can store the energy needed for a battleship to sustain a campaign, which is a terrifying thing.
The most important thing is that this crystal is simply everywhere on several resource stars in Laika, and it is inexhaustible.
Three days later, Lin Fan received news from the expert group, and after evaluation, the potential score of the Laika Empire had reached 9.2 points!
Although Lin Fan thought from the beginning that the Laika Empire's potential score should be no problem, he didn't expect its potential score to be so high.
Lin Fan has also understood the scoring criteria, and those who can score more than 9 points are definitely extremely talented races.
Immediately, the team of experts invited Lorne to join the Federation's affiliated civilizations, and Lorne's initial reaction was similar to that of Anogulas, no, it should be said that it was stronger than Anoulas's.
After all, the Laika Empire had just suffered from the Kabat Empire for 20 years, and now when he heard the words "Affiliated Civilization", his expression immediately changed drastically.
The expert group had been mentally prepared for this situation, and immediately explained this subsidiary civilization system to Lorne in detail, and Lorne's expression softened.
Later, after repeated discussions with the ministers, they finally made up their minds to sign the Affiliated Civilization Agreement and become one of the affiliated civilizations of the Human Federation.
After all, except for the fact that the name is a subsidiary civilization, the entire agreement really can't be seen as a subsidiary civilization, and it is completely like a multi-civilization cooperation agreement dominated by the Human Federation.
Five days later, everything was done, and when Lin Fan returned to the Laika Palace with the two daughters, Lorne immediately came up to say hello.
At first, Lorne didn't know Lin Fan's identity, until a few days ago, someone in the expert group told him that in fact, Lin Fan was the son of the leader of the Human Federation, and Lorne knew that the person who came down and took the two girls to play turned out to be the crown prince of the Human Federation.
Since they have decided to follow the Human Federation in the future, Lorne is also very good, and when he heard Lin Fan say that he was interested in knight clothes, he directly gave Lin Fan a set of knight equipment.
It's not an ordinary knight's suit, but one of the seven paladin suits of the Laika royal family, I don't know if it's a coincidence, even the color is the same as Lin Fan's hobby, and the whole body is silvery-white.
Lin Fan naturally had no hypocrisy, and accepted it directly.
And Lorne was also very happy when he saw Lin Fan accept it.
This is the prince of the fourth-level civilization, since he has received his own gift, if the Laika Empire encounters any trouble in the future, he will naturally help.
After taking care of the Laika civilization, Lin Fan's guard fleet also embarked on a journey again, setting off for the next civilization.
Lorne, like Augulas, began to frantically brush up points.
In addition to uploading its technology, the Federation that learned about the situation also purchased energy crystals on a large scale, at the price of 10 points each, which made Lorne very excited, you must know that this thing is not worth anything in the Laika Empire, and the price is not even as good as the price of a meal.
So, under Lorne's orders, the entire Laika took action, went to various resource stars, and went crazy to mine.
