Chapter 464: The Battleship Kree
Uranus in the space orbit of the sun, a battleship of the same level as the Autumn Wind Pier and the Dreadnought, quietly floating in the air, this is the Iowa, and it is also the third battleship built by Eris, this name is of course because the Iowa-class battleship can basically be said to be the last afterglow of the old naval battleships on the earth, and the commemorative significance is still very great.
Uranus, one of the few planets in the solar system that has not been explored at depth.
After the initial establishment of the base of Eris, Chris has sent a large number of unmanned exploration spacecraft to explore the entire solar system, but the purpose of exploration is not to search for some special existences, but mainly to explore some rare minerals.
However, the result is not so satisfactory, there are not many high-quality rare substances in the entire solar system, and they are basically based on the basic minerals with large reserves in the universe, which is not worth the risk of being discovered by the earth for in-depth development.
Of course, the absence of rare material minerals does not mean that the solar system does not have advantages, and after Chris's detection, there are as many as six planets in the entire solar system suitable for colonization.
The first, and undoubtedly, Mars, the closest to Earth, is the other five, which are Europa, III, IV, and Enceladus.
Although there are very small stars like Enceladus, which are the size of the island of Britain.
But this is still very rare among the galaxies currently known in the Milky Way, and generally speaking, two or three planets suitable for modification in living galaxies are already very good.
But this is obviously a good thing for human beings.
And among these stars, the most eye-catching thing for Chris is undoubtedly the Eternals, that is, the planet where the Thanos people once lived, Titan...... It's Titan.
However, after exploring Titan, Chris quickly lost interest.
No matter how glorious the civilization of the Eternal Race was, it was already in the past, and now there are only ruins and ruins on it, and there are basically no traces of life, and if you want to re-adapt to human habitation, you still need to carry out large-scale transformation.
And although the Eternals have left a large number of relics, these ruins are of great value to the humans who set foot on this land in the future, but they are of little significance to Chris, this civilization that also originated from the earth and was destroyed by his own clan, Thanos, has reached the level of science and technology that can freely navigate the inner solar system, and in the entire galaxy, four or five stays are not counted, and it is basically of little help to Chris...... It wasn't until years later that Thanos arrived in the solar system that Chris knew what he had missed, but that's for another time.
Compared to the planets that can be modified and colonized, as well as other conventional planets, Uranus is arguably the worst of all.
Because Uranus is classified as an ice giant, which means that its surface temperature is very low, but this is not because it is not suitable for mining, in fact, in terms of temperature, Eris is much higher than Uranus.
What really makes it difficult to develop is Uranus's strong atmospheric pressure and not low internal temperature.
In fact, in addition to the low surface atmosphere, the interior of Uranus is completely shrouded by a super ocean with a depth of more than 10,000 kilometers, of course, this ocean is different from the ocean on Earth, although it also has water components, but more other hydrogen and helium substances, and these substances that should be gases become liquid under the strong atmospheric pressure of Uranus...... In fact, it was supposed to be solid, but again, because of Uranus's extremely high inner core, the ocean cannot freeze, so except for the surface atmosphere, Uranus is more of a liquid than a solid state.
It is also because of this special structure of Uranus that the temperature of this ocean is actually very high...... The average temperature is more than six thousand degrees Celsius, which is almost the same as the temperature of the sun's surface.
Because of the high temperature of the Earth's core, the heat of the oceans, except for the surface, basically does not solidify, but because of the strong atmospheric pressure, the hot oceans do not evaporate, making Uranus a freak that looks cold on the surface, but is actually very hot.
It is precisely because of this peculiar state of Uranus that its development cost is extremely high, and if you want to mine the minerals in the earth's crust, you must first pass through the ocean, which has terrifying heat and a depth of more than 10,000 kilometers...... This is not impossible for the interstellar world Terran technology, but it is worth the loss, and as a sister neighbor of Uranus, Neptune is not much better than Uranus, although there is no terrifying hot ocean, but there is the most terrifying superstorm in the entire solar system.
So whether it's Uranus or Neptune, in the absence of some extremely special rare properties in the universe, Chris naturally won't have much interest in these two planets, so he naturally wouldn't have thought that the Kree would set up a workstation in such a ghostly place.
However, considering the time when the Kree came to the earth, and the technological level of the Kree people, it should not be difficult for the other party to find those powerful ancient gods on the earth, as well as the guardians of the ancient earth such as the Olympians, so it is understandable that the Kree chose Uranus as a hiding place as a hiding place.
"Commander, we have reached the predetermined target, but the detection system on our spacecraft can't find anything in that position, which means that the target is likely to be in the deep sea, and the high temperature of this ocean has isolated our detection!" Inside the bridge of the Iowa, Strike, as a temporary technical officer, reported to Chris who was sitting in the captain's seat while operating the ship.
"Damn the Kree, they're really good at picking places, which means we've got to get to the sea if we want to find that thing?" Chris couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Does this battleship carry fighters?" ”
The high temperature of nearly 6,000 degrees Celsius in the ocean is no longer accessible to conventional spaceships or detection devices, at least the heavy armored units above the frigate level, or the Edman alloy units can withstand it, and the most suitable for this kind of task is the Astral Spirit Exploration Aircraft cast by the Edman alloy...... This kind of Astral Spirit, which only requires a small amount of Kedarin Crystal, may be the only Astral Spirit unit that Chris can manufacture in large quantities right now.
"The Iowa didn't have it on its own, but as is customary, the battleship carried two exploration ships, each carrying a hundred exploration planes." The blow quickly replied.
"One hundred, since there are clear coordinates, it should be within this range, and one hundred probes should be enough to be universal, all of them will be sent out!" Chris tapped on the armrest of the captain's chair.
With his command, the two exploration ships broke away from the battleship and entered the atmosphere, and after breaking through the surface "ice", a hundred exploration planes entered the hot ocean like dumplings, and soon found what Chris was looking for...... That is, the Cree workstation on Uranus.
The reason why it is so fast is not because of how efficient the probe is, but because the workstation is so big...... Maybe it's not accurate to say that the workstation is not accurate, because according to the pictures sent back by the probe, this is simply a battleship, a battleship with obvious Cree style, and this battleship is very large, at least six times the length and volume of the Iowa, and it is a battleship of the first class battleship of the three empires.
As mentioned earlier, a battleship of the level of the Autumn Wind Pier is already a very powerful top-level battleship for the average first-class force in the galaxy, but for the three major empires, it can only be regarded as a cruiser level, and there are at least three levels on it.
They were second-class battleships with a length of no less than three kilometers, and first-class battleships with a length of about five or six kilometers, and on top of them, fortress ships that could be tens of kilometers long...... Thanos's palaces No. 1 and No. 2 are typical fortress ships, but the general forces of this level of warships cannot afford to raise, that is, Thanos and the Chiritas have only held back these two by plundering countless planets.
And the fortress ships owned by the three empires will not be more than double, and they are of different sizes, so they will not be easily used if they are not in a big war.
Therefore, for the three major empires, the first-class battleships of the five or six kilometer level are the real main force of the regular fleet, and for the three empires, the first-class battleships are still precious, and basically each empire will not exceed a hundred.
And for Chris, it is not that the battleships of the first and second class battleships cannot be built, but for the time being, his power is small and there is no need, and if you fluctuate those second- and third-rate cosmic forces, dozens of battleships of the Autumn Wind level are enough.
But Chris never expected to see a first-class battleship of the Kree Empire in this place.
"It's strange, Commander, this ship is undoubtedly a first-class battleship of the Cree Empire, but I can't match any of the existing warships of the Cree Empire in the database." After seeing this battleship, the blow as a technical officer immediately compared the data and said, "And according to the feedback, the energy response of this battleship is extremely low, and it seems to be in a dormant state." ”
"This is normal, if this battleship is really the station recorded in the obelisk, it means that the age of this battleship is at least tens of thousands of years...... In this extreme environment, it can still be kept so intact for tens of thousands of years, and the technology of the ancient Kree Empire has reached this level? At this time, Chris was also extremely shocked, if this was the case, then he needed to re-examine the foundation of the three empires.
