Chapter 19: The Forerunner Factory
Although Laxis and Autumn Moon looked dissatisfied, they looked very beautiful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info But Xia Houlin knew that it was better to explain the situation to these two as soon as possible.
"The reason why I want you two to stay, it's because of these things!" As soon as Xia Houlin finished speaking, several mechanical octopuses in the distance carried some things over.
"These areβ" Laxis looked at the ground in front of her, some of the armor. And it is also a different style, one of the golden armor is also inlaid with a lot of crystal stones, which is very gorgeous.
"Protoss Armor and Ancient Human Armor!" Xiahou Lin said with a smile, these trophies are good things that he went to the ancient human planet and collected. Although the ancient human armor is a few years old, it has not been damaged. As for the Protoss armor, it's basically a completely new style.
A few days ago, Xia Houlin used the dreadnought and the mechanical octopus to salvage the wreckage of the Protoss aircraft carrier out of the water. The corpses of many Protoss warriors were found inside the battleship. Most of them died from cold temperatures and flooding, and not only did their bodies intact, but so did their armor.
Seeing those armors, Xiahou Lin knew that the latest armor belonging to his own side finally had the technical basis for research and development.
"What do you mean?" Qiu Yue looked at Xiahou Lin and asked a little puzzled.
"Use the Protoss armor and ancient human armor, plus the Precursor armor here, to develop an advanced armor suit suitable for our use." Xia Houlin directly stated his purpose, believing that with the technology of this world, it should not take too much time to complete such research and development work.
"That's a daunting task!" Qiu Yue looked at the armor on the ground, this is to combine the technology of several different worlds, and perfectly merge it into a new technology. It sounds simple, but it's not a math problem after all, and you can solve it by adding a few numbers.
StarCraft World and Halo World, these two completely different world planes, the foundation of science and technology are also very different. Completing such a fusion of technologies is not a simple task.
"I have confidence in you, by the way, the technology of the Protoss aircraft carrier, you can also try to crack it. Let's collect some DNA data of the female warriors of the Protoss. Maybe you will be able to use it in the future when you are making flesh. Xiahou Lin said with a smile, Laxis and Qiu Yue have long wanted a real body. And such technology does exist in some worlds.
And according to the high standards of Laxis and Qiuyue, the flesh that the two of them need must not be able to use ordinary people casually. And the body of the StarCraft Protoss warrior does meet the standard, of course, the other party's appearance does not meet the requirements of the two of them.
At the same time, the technologies on the Protoss aircraft carrier are also what Xia Houlin pays more attention to. Because this race is probably not much worse than the forerunner in terms of technology. Once you master this technology, you will undoubtedly get a huge boost in strength.
"Alright, you go on a treasure hunt, and we'll study the loot here." After Qiu Yue said these words, she looked at Laxis as if she were about to do so, and then she smiled and prepared to start her work.
Xiahoulin did not continue to delay time, but prepared to leave and set off for the Forerunner's shipbuilding factory. Now you have to race against time to carry out the operation, or when the mission time is up, you will be forcibly recalled by space.
If that were the case, Xiahou Lin would not be reconciled. Because in this Halo world, there are too many hidden treasures. Moreover, the research equipment in the world of the Precursor Shield in front of you can make perfect use of the technologies you have collected.
If you miss this opportunity and want to find a place like this next time, you can really only rely on luck to fight for character.
After the loot was transferred, Xiahoulin once again led a large number of mechanical octopuses and robot troops, boarded the dreadnought battleship and flew away from the shield world and into the bright starry sky.
With the help of the dreadnought's advanced jumping ability and star charts, Xiahoulin soon found himself in a binary solar galaxy located on the cantilevered arm of the Milky Way constellation Sagittarius.
From the bridge of the dreadnought, Xiahoulin looked at the two huge suns orbiting each other in the distance. There is a new understanding of the vast territory of the precursor civilization.
In this era, the Star Alliance has only mastered the Orion Spiral Arm region, and it is already a huge interstellar force. But in front of the precursor civilization, it seems a little inadequate.
Without much further admiration for this strange astronomical phenomenon, Xiahoulin immediately ordered the dreadnought to fly towards the asteroid belt. The Precursor shipbuilding base was built in an area full of asteroids.
As the dreadnoughts kept getting closer, Xiahoulin understood why the Forerunners chose this place as a shipbuilding base. Because the base was actually built on a half-moon left, the metal core inside the planet had long been exposed, and it could be easily mined.
Moreover, this area is a zero-gravity environment, which is very convenient for the assembly and production of large warships. The asteroids around us are natural raw materials. And the other planets in the system are also tasked with providing resources.
The Forerunner factory, built on a half-destroyed satellite, had been idle for a long time. But there was not the slightest hint of the old gesture, when the dreadnought emitted the frequency of the characteristics.
The ship-building base, which had not been moving, immediately seemed to come to life. Not only did the lights of the spaceport come on, but the traction beam was also sent.
Under the guidance of the towing beam, the dreadnought battleship that Xia Houlin was riding quickly entered the ship-building base in front of him, and stopped steadily. Immediately, some of the Templar defenders flew over, lined up in a neat line, and waited for the visitor to arrive.
As soon as Xiahoulin stepped off the dreadnought with the mechanical orb provided by the space, the thing began to automatically establish a link with the surrounding Templar defenders. Then a complete map of the ship-building base was teleported to the screen of Xiahoulin's helmet.
After seeing this detailed base information, Xia Houlin found that the ship-building base in front of him actually covered an area of 1,000 square kilometers. Inside the maintenance and manufacturing equipment, it is all in need of the warships, which can produce most of the warships of the forerunners. And the degree of automation is extremely high, and the advanced AI inside can accept instructions and automatically start repairing and manufacturing ships that the first mover needs.
After ordering the metal ball to lead the way, Xiahoulin walked towards the location of the battleship manufacturing workshop. Soon, with the help of the transmission equipment, we came to the factory with no end in sight.
However, none of those production lines currently exist with a single battleship. Apparently the Precursors had ceased to function before they vanished.
After seeing that no battleship was found, Xiahou Lin was slightly disappointed. So he stood on the teleporter again, and was immediately teleported to the battleship maintenance area, which was only a lot larger than the ship-building factory.
And when Xiahou Lin looked at the repair area, the previous disappointment of not finding the battleship was now vanished by a huge object in front of him.
What appeared in front of Xia Houlin's eyes at this moment was a huge warship with exaggerated appearance, which could be described as endless at a glance.
Among the many warships built by the forerunners, there are only Fortress-class warships that can reach such a terrifying size. This huge ship is the largest and strongest of the Forerunners, each capable of carrying a large number of other warships to form an independent battle group, and its combat effectiveness can only be described as terrifying.
Although Xia Houlin tried his best to keep calm at the moment, he couldn't hide the excited look in his eyes. I had never thought that I could find this kind of Fortress-class battleship here.
After all, each of the Fortress-class battleships is an indispensable combat power of the forerunners, and when they disappear into the galaxy, they should not leave such a giant ship behind.
Now it seems that the reason why this Fortress-class battleship was left in this place is probably because it is still being repaired and has lost its combat effectiveness.
"It's really good luck this time, Fortress-class battleship, I hope it doesn't damage too much." Xiahou Lin looked at the huge battleship in front of him, with no end in sight. There was already a greedy gaze in his eyes, this is the most powerful flagship of the Forerunner in the world of "Halo".
The Fortress-class battleship was the largest and most powerful type of warship in service with the Precursor army, measuring almost 50 km from bow to stern and almost 10 km at its widest point. The hull is divided into three parts: the first part is a large sphere with a diameter of 10 km, and the inside of this sphere can provide food and living for 100,000 warriors.
Underneath the sphere is the middle part, which has a layered platform in which there are hangars and weapons. The stern of the ship, shaped like a "tail", is covered with turrets and other energy weapons.
According to the data, the Forerunner also developed an enhanced version of the Fortress-class warship in the Forerunner-Flood War. Its volume has reached a terrifying length of 100 kilometers, and at the moment this ship is clearly an old-fashioned model.
However, even the old warships of the Precursors are far more massive than any warship created by other civilizations in this era.
At this moment, the old Fortress-class battleship in front of Xia Houlin was obviously heavily damaged in the battle, so it was placed in this shipyard for repair.
"Fortunately, the battleship has been repaired seventy percent. All that's left is the internal repair, which can be repaired slowly. Xiahoulin immediately took care of the information in the repair facility, and the main systems of the battleship were still intact. However, because the Precursors closed everything when they left, the repair work was stopped.
If repairs are carried out now, it will only take a year for the ship to be restored to its original state, and then it will be put back into battle.
Xiahou Lin had already determined at this moment that his future vehicle was the Fengze-class battleship in front of him. To have it is to have a mobile fortress.
After initiating the repair process, the Precursor repair equipment began to carry out comprehensive repair work on the Fortress-class battleship again. At this time, Xia Houlin came to the control room of the base, and after checking the information here, he found a lot of production materials of the Forerunner battleship.
"This is the blueprint of the new Fortress-class battleship....unfortunately we probably don't have the time." Xia Houlin looked at the screen in the void with a regretful expression, he didn't expect that the shipbuilding factory here could also produce enhanced Fengze-class warships.
However, this kind of warship is too time-consuming, and even the factory will work day and night, I am afraid that it will take up to five years. Moreover, a lot of equipment also needs to be manufactured by other pioneer factories.
However, in this factory, there is no other factory for the production of equipment other than the materials used to build the hull. At most, there are some parts for the maintenance of the battleship, which cannot meet the requirements of the enhanced Fortress class battleship.
Xiahou Lin, who was unwilling to give up like this, directly used the communication system here to get in touch with Laxis and Qiuyue in the shield world. After a brief explanation of the situation here, it awaited the advice of the two beauties.
After Qiu Yue thought about it, she looked at Xiahou Lin on the screen and said, "Among the design drawings of those ancient human warships you brought back, it seems that one of them is designed to fight against fortress-class warships. However, it is also quite troublesome to produce such a battleship, but we can combine these technologies. β
"Combined, how combined? It seems that the technology of ancient humans and the forerunners is not very common! "Xiahou Lin has seen the scientific and technological materials left by these two forces, and there is still a gap between the two sides in technology.
"Remember the Covenant's City of Fraternity, that massive fortress. At its core, it was a large Precursor ship, and the engines of the Precursor were extremely powerful. Then we can also refer to this method and build a larger warship with the Fortress-class battleship under repair as the core. Qiu Yue smiled and said her thoughts, in her opinion, this method is the most time-saving.
"I also agree with Akizuki's approach, with the existing Fortress-class battleships as the core. Then we carried out the reinforcement and expansion, and as for the appearance, we chose the design of the ancient humans, and put a huge shell on the Fortress-class battleship. After saying this, Laxis quickly simulated a preliminary prototype design.
The new battleship is in the shape of a battleship designed by ancient humans, and in the hull of more than 100 kilometers, the Fortress-class battleship is the main engine of the new battleship, and then some other auxiliary engines are installed in the tail of the battleship.
As for the interior space of the new warship, it can be designed and built slowly. As long as the main body is completed, it will be a long time before the new ships can be included in the golden tarot cards.
After carefully looking at the temporary design of Laxiss for a while, Xia Houlin nodded and said: "Then do it, I will start supervising the restoration work here now, and you will design the design of the new warship as soon as possible." It would be nice to be able to incorporate the technology of the Protoss warship into the new ship. β
Xiahou Lin has not forgotten that the Protoss in StarCraft also has very advanced and unique technology in spaceship technology. It would be best if the new ships could be used.
"This question, then we have to study the Protoss warship before we can give an answer." Laxis replied with a smile, "There was no way anyone could tell that the ship was from another world."
Xiahou Lin nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then we will start acting now and strive to complete the new warship as soon as possible." β
