"The ancient alloy is not powerful, so what about replacing it with new materials such as diamond alloy?" Chen You asked.

"First, there is the issue of cost. It's not impossible to switch to diamond alloy, although it would have become the best ship in terms of structure and armor strength at the moment, but the cost is a bit exaggerated. “

"How much does that cost?"

Chi Lei raised three stubby fingers.

"Thirty million?"

"Is it 300 million, or a conservative estimate."

Chen You coughed a few times: "It's more expensive than buying a new ship?!" ”

"The shipbuilding industry is so developed, and cutting-edge materials are in such demand! Even if you pay the full amount, you won't be able to get the goods for a year and a half: the production capacity is up to the sky, and you can only produce so much in a year.

"This is just one of them, and the second is that the large number of ancient alloys that all the Changsheng Ship has are not scrap, and the performance is not bad. If it is all discarded and replaced with new materials, it is a huge waste.

"So, what I'm thinking about now is to take these old alloys and fuse them with other materials to create a new alloy that is comparable to the top modern materials.

"It's just ......" Chi Lei frowned, "I used the intelligent forging furnace simulation to calculate it, and after the mainstream materials were fused with the ancient alloy, the performance was not significantly improved. Now it seems that I can only find some slightly off-the-beaten-path materials to try. ”

If you want to say "partial door", the "polarized gold" of Jijing biological fossil minerals should be partial enough, Chen You used the toolbox to extract a piece from the "gluttonous stomach bag".

"Do you think this material is okay?"

Chi Lei took the black polarized gold with some surprise: "This ...... Is that the polarized gold you used to make the Black Sword? ”

"I know this," Chi Lei muttered, putting the polarized gold into the analysis chamber, "It's a pity that the production of this fossil metal composed of 'supercalcium' and 'biotitanium' is too small, and no one has made a special trip to ...... for that little 'meat foam'."

As he spoke, his eyes widened as he looked at the analysis screen.

"It can be done!" The sound of red thunder was like thunder, and the Qilin who was looking at the hull from the lifting platform in the distance all glanced back.

"It can be done!" Chi Lei repeated excitedly, "The two crystalline particles can be well chelated!" ”

"It's ......," he said, staring at the analog data, "it's a match made in heaven!" ”

Chen You was infected by Chi Lei, and although he couldn't understand the analysis data of the smart forging furnace at all, he also stood aside and smiled.

Chi Lei turned his head: "The production of polarized gold is very small, how many do you have?" ”

The storage principle of gluttonous stomach pouches and war game minerals is the superphase folding of material particles, which stores the substances of this dimension in the higher dimensions of the cells in the body, and neither volume nor weight will manifest itself if it is not extracted through the toolbox. At that time, the collector bees hollowed out the polarized gold collected by the entire rock wall, and the stock was quite sufficient.

Chen You looked inwardly at the "gluttonous stomach bag", and the feeling was very mysterious, as if he felt a subspace exclusive to himself.

He estimated the surface area of the Immortal Ship and replied, "It should be enough to build an entire Immortal Ship." ”

Chi Lei was overjoyed: "It doesn't take so much, half is enough!" ”

The Qilin on the lifting platform heard Chi Lei and Chen Youyi shouting from a distance, and shook his head with a smile.

She took a deep breath and stepped into the Immortal Ship with a grim expression.

On the night of the ship's capture, Kirin only took a casual look at the ship's brain, the central module, and the heart, the energy core, the two most important parts, both of which faced serious challenges in achieving complete repair.

The first is the energy core, the Immortal Ship uses a substance called supercrystals as an energy supply, but this substance is not naturally generated, but is a creation of Zhixing technology.

Supercrystalline is a special substance that can efficiently convert itself into super energy, which can almost be described as "inexhaustible fuel", but unfortunately this infinite fuel will lose its vitality forever after being silent for about a hundred years.

It stands to reason that the design of the Immortal Ship will not lose power, but due to combat damage and the extreme conditions of being sucked by the black hole, the supercrystalline energy supply in the black hole has stopped.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the supercrystalline core that was supposed to be constantly glowing with dazzling blue light has been extinguished and turned into a gray spherical boulder.

There is no way to reverse this stubborn stone into a supercrystalline again, just as a hard-boiled egg cannot be reverted back to a raw egg.

The only way to do this is to find another piece of supercrystal. However, due to the loss of the ability to make new supercrystals after the decline of Zhixing, this substance has become extremely precious, and it is difficult to find a piece in the whole universe, and the Qilin has searched for a piece of supercrystals that can still be used in the top auctions, but this rare energy has been pushed to a sky-high price, and this piece of volume is only the size of a fist, and the immortal ship cannot be used at all.

If all the energy systems of the Immortal Ship are overturned and redone, not only will it take a lot of time and consume a lot of materials, but many of the original functions may not be usable.

However, the lack of a supercrystalline core is not a major concern for her. The big trouble that really made her frown was in front of her.

Qilin had already walked to the door of the backstage of the Immortal Ship's Hub, she looked back to make sure that no one was following, and after operating the terminal in her field of vision, a set of tight-fitting biochemical suits quickly poured out of her bracelet and ankle ring, wrapping her muscular body.

She opened the door to the central backstage, which can be described as the brain of the Immortal Ship, and the Kirin is now walking into the brain of the Immortal Ship. It was her second time in the area, but the sight of her left her dizzy.

Nothing in this should be seen or known to others. Even Chen You had better not know everything about this place before setting sail. If it leaks out, the longevity ship recovery project will definitely be forcibly terminated!

Kirin immediately closed the door behind her after entering, and she stood alone in the backstage cabin of the center, facing the secret in the backstage of the center, her state of mind was extremely lonely.

A bold idea brewed in her heart, and she made up her mind to be deviant and adventurous.

Because there is only one way to go in front of her, she has to go one by one to the dark!

——

The recovery project is huge, and the early planning and overall arrangement are particularly important, so on the first day of construction, Qilin and Chen You both dined in the shipyard.

At this moment, Qilin had already told Chen You about the supercrystal core.

"So, now I'm going to find a supercrystalline core that the Immortal Ship can use." Kirin said

"The auction house can't buy it, where do you find it?" Chen You asked.

"It's not me who goes, it's you who goes."

"I'm going?"

"Yes, I'm the chief engineer, and now is the most important and busy time in the early stage, and I don't have time to do this. Only you are the most suitable. ”

"But this universe is vast, where are you going to find it?"

"Think about it." Kirin took a sip of juice.

As soon as Qilin said this, the answer was obvious, and Chen You patted his head: "Zhixing!" ”

"That's right, you've got to go to Jisung. If there is still a supercrystal suitable for the immortal ship in this world, it can only be in Zhixing.

"If Zhixing didn't have it, the whole universe wouldn't have it. Then we can only take plan B to overhaul the energy supply system of the Changsheng ship, so that the performance of the whole ship will be reduced by 30%, and the function of instant repair may not be realized, which I have to say is a pity. ”

"So, I have to find the metacrystals in Zhixing!" With a 30% reduction in performance and a loss of immediate repair function, wouldn't this make the Immortal Ship an ordinary ship? Chen You categorically couldn't accept it, "However, how can I go?" Huh? Can the Mountain Ship lend me? ”

Qilin patted Chen You's head: "Dream about you!" Also the mountains and ships! Use my Huaguoshan! ”

Chen You knew that it was impossible to borrow the Qunshan ship, he was just joking, but the Qilin's Huaguoshan, although the appearance took the retro route, in fact, the comprehensive ability was already the top among the large cruisers, and Chen You's heart was already happy to borrow the Huaguoshan.

Qilin took off the bracelet and put it on Chen You's wrist, and then opened the captain's authority to Chen You in the field of vision interface: "This time I went to Zhixing, this route is relatively safe, and it can be regarded as a practical exercise." ”

Approaching his first voyage to the Star Sea, Chen You was so excited that he suddenly thought of the crew problem: "Sister Qilin, your crew is now participating in the maintenance of the Changsheng with you, how to solve the crew problem?" Temporary recruitment? ”

Qilin drank the juice and raised his head behind Chen You.

Shang Zhengyu, Blade Fire, Xia Chuxin, and Flying Squirrels in dark crew uniforms stood solemnly at the gate of the shipyard together, looking at the captain Chen You majestically.

"Your crew members are all my close disciples, and their strength is not bad." Kirin bit the straw and laughed.
