Unconsciously, the flying car that Huogu was in actually broke away from the mothership and went to the outside of the mothership.

Not noticing Hogu's gaze, Amanda motioned for Hogu to stay quiet, which was also part of the combat zone itinerary, and the speeding car approached the outer armor of the mothership under Amanda's drive.

It can be seen here that at intervals, a 'small cannon' with a caliber of about 65 can be seen.

"These are XO pulse beams, caliber 100C, which belong to close defense guns, which were originally designed to defend against physical weapons, combined with vibration armor, as long as the initial velocity of physical weapons is not fast enough, it is difficult to exert sufficient lethality."

"But now this pulse beam is gradually withdrawing from the design layout of the mothership."

While introducing, Amanda showed a look of regret, looking at these 'small cannons' as if she was looking at a twilight hero.

"Why?"

Every weapon has its own role to play, and since it is decommissioned, it means that there is no longer the role that this weapon should play on the battlefield, or there is a better weapon to replace this old weapon.

The first indicates that the Seren's pattern of warfare has changed, and the second indicates that the Serenes have prepared more dangerous weapons, either of which is not good news.

Therefore, Hogu became vigilant.

Amandabi didn't notice Hogu's thoughts, and she explained why.

"Because those ship designers in the empire have found that today's live-fire weapons are basically at the sub-light level, and in a large-scale environment such as the space battlefield, laser weapons are basically used to attack opponents."

"As a result, these close defense guns can only defend against physical weapons that are below the sub-light speed such as popping, or clean up space junk close to the mothership, so in the eyes of some people, the energy supplied to the close defense guns is actually a waste, and instead of adding close defense pulses, it is better to install a few more large-caliber main guns."

"This pulse cannon is small in size, and the energy consumption should be very low, so there should be no need to be reduced to being evaluated like this."

Huo Gu was puzzled and deliberately guided the topic.

"That's because you ignore the number of close defense pulses, the mother ship is very large, so the number of close defense pulses must also be large enough, so as to ensure all-round interception, so that the overall energy consumption is actually not low."

"And after seeing some of the technical applications of amoeba, the empire also began to have some designs to imitate, which accelerated the pace of retirement of close defense guns."

"Imitation?"

Hogu was visibly stunned, this strangeness was even so big that it was noticed by Amanda, a careless person.

But Amanda didn't think too much about it, she just thought that Hogu was very interested in this aspect, so she became interested.

"Please follow me, I know you're interested."

"This is not an anchorage area?" Hogu asked.

Amanda led Hogu to a rather open place, and at a glance, there was a huge number of flying machines, which were comparable in size to autonomous ships, and similar in appearance, or they were some other appearance structures on the basis of the original autonomous ships.

Amanda explained Hogu's doubts and introduced the place by the way.

"No, although there are many flying units anchored here, this place is a combat zone in terms of division, because these units cannot achieve deep space voyages."

"After seeing those mothership creatures and using small units to achieve spiral arrays, the designers of the empire also fully learned from them and designed this kind of close-defense drone."

"Its function is similar to those small creatures around the mothership creatures, they are all defense against high-speed objects close to their own mothership, built-in heat ray weapons, although the power of a single ship is not high, but multiple ships are set on fire together, enough to make a fairly large entity vaporize immediately, in addition to the design idea of an autonomous ship, if the distance is enough, these drones can also be used as a short-range autonomous ship to launch a charge against enemy ships."

"Wait, with such a small volume, after installing the laser cannon, there is still enough energy to support the vibrating armor?"

Hogu remembered that the energy required to maintain the vibrating armor was very high, and it was quite reluctant for the autonomous ship to maintain the vibrating armor while maintaining a high speed, and there was no extra energy to supply the laser cannon.

Could it be a progress in energy technology? - Huo Gu secretly guessed in his heart.

However, Hogu's guess was soon dispelled by Amanda.

"No, it's just a strategic trade-off, limited by energy, when the drone is used as a gunboat, the vibration armor cannot be used, and when it is an autonomous ship, the heat-ray laser cannot be used, and this conversion is not done instantly, you need to wait for a while, after all, gunboats and autonomous ships are completely two different types of ships."

This is Huo Gu's intuitive feeling, if it is an epoch-making progress in energy technology, then Huo Gu can suffer from it, because it will lead to a series of chain progress.

"Even if it were, it was amazing...... So the key reason for the gradual decline of close defense artillery is because there is a group of mothership drones that can replace them and play a more important role on the battlefield, right? ”

Amanda nodded.

"That's it."

"The mothership is now also equipped with a special unmanned salvage ship, because it is a non-combat unit, so it belongs to the anchorage area, salvage the wreckage of the drone in the space around the mothership, bring it back to the mothership and rebuild it, and soon there will be new drones back into the battlefield, thanks to these two new units, the defensive performance of the spiral array against the laser has been further improved."

"Oh, by the way, there are many more techniques to learn from amoeba, please follow me."

Introducing the technological creations derived from the technical ideas stolen from the amoeba, Amanda was still unsatisfied, and she continued to lead Hogu to see the others.

"This is the inner armor structure layer, a design structure that did not exist before the mothership class, after seeing the amoeba's technology that allows combat units to regenerate quickly, the imperial designers are considering whether they can use the existing technology to achieve the same effect, and then they designed this inner armor structure layer."

“…… What does this thing do? ”

Hogu had already guessed what the role was, but on the surface he still had to pretend that he didn't know.

"Its function is regeneration, and after being deformed by external forces, it will spontaneously restore its original structure, thus simulating the technology of biological regeneration on the amoeba side."

"Its principle is also very simple, that is, the nanomachinery can always get a layout instruction, so after the inner armor is deformed, the nanomachinery that makes up the inner armor will actively move to its original position."

"In terms of performance, the effect of inner nails is better than cell regeneration, because nanomachines are more patient in resisting high-energy rays, but cells need to worry about high-energy rays disrupting the expression of gene chains, which in turn leads to the loss of self-replication ability."

"That's ......"

Feelings, don't you all open your own brains and plagiarize my design ideas?! Then who should I plagiarize! - Huo Gu panicked in his heart.

"And this one...... Let me tell you...... The empire has learned a lot from the amoeba side......"

……

"Führer, allowing amoeba's envoys to visit the mothership, even if it is to cater to the current situation, is this really appropriate?"

In the Reich there were some high-ranking Empires who asked the Führer.

"What's the problem? It's too late to change the story of what has been promised and is in progress. ”

"You want the empire to lose credit?"

The Führer asked calmly.

"You once said that trust between countries does not exist, only interests are eternal, and this is still true at the level of civilization, at least for now."

"Let this amoeba envoy visit the mothership, which means that many new technologies of the empire will be exposed to amoeba."

"If one of you were unarmed and knew everything, would any of you take the initiative to attack a beast?" The Führer asked rhetorically.

"No, it won't."

The Führer continued.

"If you don't know, what if that creature is a ferocious beast? It looks docile and cute on the outside, and you happen to be a little hungry at this time. ”

“……”

"Don't think too much, the mothership will look at it, anyway, it is a product that will be eliminated."
