Chapter 200: The Messenger of Peace, Doomed to Prosperity
"Is this ship reliable?"
David looked at the newly built merchant ship docked in the space dock, and always felt that the captain of this ship was really strange enough, the most important thing was that its hull was seriously asymmetrical, which made David, a person with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, very uncomfortable to look at.
And somehow think... The ship... It's really ugly...
"Our Spark production, it must be a high-quality product, how could it be... Unreliable? Iris was halfway through her words, when her heart suddenly became a little weak.
The embarrassed cancer of Davy who looked twisted was about to be committed, "...... Hey, can you be confident next time? At the very least, I can choose to self-hypnosis and believe in you. ”
"Who left us without resources now? Without those rare minerals, with the battleship drawings in our inventory, the slightly more advanced ones don't have that condition at all, and with the few intact hull components left in the Hanyuan, except for those reconnaissance ships that can only be used for resource gathering and battlefield cannon fodder, we can only build this kind of hull with a less high-tech content, and even so, for safety reasons, I dismantled and installed the second gap jump engine of an abandoned 'White Wolf'..."
Strictly speaking, Elise was a little weak when she said this...
Although in addition to the Imperial Arsenal of the First Empire, there were many black technologies in the Spark Council, but they had a lot of black technologies, but they couldn't stop the brains of scientists and scholars to be bigger, and they were still proud of their blood-spewing designs.
For example, the armed merchant ship in front of me is based on the [O.P-class] phase transport, the Messenger of Peace.
At the beginning of the design, it was indeed aimed at a transport ship, but the designer felt that the transport ship really could not highlight its own technical water, so he insisted on adding a phase generator to it, so it became the first phase transport ship in this universe.
Then he felt that he really didn't feel safe as a transport ship, so the brain-brained designers added two shield-like external armor structures to it, and added twenty medium-sized missile launch bays and a full 170 small energy weapon interfaces to the hull.
A transport ship can be considered worthy of its reputation if it does this...
But... Just after the construction of this transport ship began in the dockyard, a very embarrassing problem was discovered, the council had continuously stalked his father and mother, and the over-allocated funds were still not enough...
At that time, the speaker of the parliament knew about this, and announced in public that the wind must not rise, and the construction cost of a battleship had been allocated, and if a transport ship could not be built, then it was better to go home and play Gundam!
The designer had no choice, he had to not give money and not give it, so he directly deleted the external structure of one side of the hull from the drawings, and made some adjustments to the balance of the hull engine, so such a hull that can torture all obsessive-compulsive disorder is freshly baked.
However, to everyone's surprise, this kind of transport ship, which can be called a pit daddy, made an outstanding contribution to the long war that broke out immediately after the large-scale invasion of Void species.
Thanks to its excellent phase generation system, deep into phase space, it can not even spill out of radiant energy, and it is difficult to be detected by enemy forces, which allows these transport ships to continue to sail on the supply line that has been beaten into a sieve by the void species, and maintain the supply of military supplies at several of the most critical space-time nodes on the front line.
In a pinch, these phase transports were even able to go into battle.
It is precisely because of such outstanding military exploits that this kind of phase transport ship is famous, and it is not easy for its designers to expose their own shortcomings, and fill in the right side exterior structure that was canceled due to lack of funds, and finally make such a wonderful design be preserved...
And having said so many advantages, it is naturally also flawed, but also because its phase generator is set up too perfectly, once it enters the phase space, there is no residual radiation energy in the outside world as a navigation mark, once forced into the phase space, it is easy to get lost...
Yes... Get lost....
In the era of the Great Exploration of the First Empire, this kind of partial transport ship was ordered by the Empire from the Spark Council at that time, although the death rate was not high, and it can even be said that it can be regarded as the safest kind of ship on the battlefield except for actually going to the battlefield to fight the enemy.
However, there are often partial transport ships that come out of the phase space and directly rush into the center of the enemy's camp, and there are even space disasters that coincide with the enemy ships and cause them to directly disintegrate in the phase superposition state...
Well... Of course, there are also events that appear and are embedded in the planet, or are directly sucked into the space-time jump point, resulting in an inexplicable time crossing to another world...
In addition, these efficient, stealthy, and 'relatively reliable' transports have dedicated a small number of phase transports to some of the most strategic space-time nodes since they were given the Blue Eye of the First Empire.
Such an important strategic space-time node is naturally a battleground for soldiers, and often not long after the arrival of phase transport ships, a high-intensity war like a meat grinder broke out!
This directly leads to a scalp-numbing phenomenon, that is, wherever there are partial phase transport ships, they are basically bombed wherever they go... But he rarely has a big accident, because he was named auspicious by many imperial soldiers in an ironic tone... At the same time, I pray that I will not see it in the spaceport in my lifetime...
Because once you see it... My eight achievements are not far from kneeling...
It is precisely because this legendary ship is so 'calamitous and difficult' that Elise named this freshly baked transport ship 'Peacemaker', hoping to use it for good luck.
However, when David listened to Elise's explanation, the whole person was shocked... We're not going to war now, you think we're going to live too long for such an auspicious ship...
Of course... David himself wouldn't say such a blow to Elise's enthusiasm, he swallowed his saliva, and could only ask euphemistically: "Since there is such an obvious hidden danger, is there no solution?" ”
Seeing that David's mood was quite stable, Elise was also secretly relieved, "Of course, because this problem is too deadly, even the First Imperial Military Academy has included it in one of the conquering projects, but because I really don't want to sacrifice the concealment of it after entering the phase space, I can only take a compromise method and use the gravitational waves of simulated celestial bodies for space detection, so that although it is still difficult to solve the problem of getting lost, at least it is not easy to have a disaster like phase superposition." ”
"In other words, once we enter the phase space, we are still easy to get lost...", Davy said that one head and two big. It's still a trivial matter to get lost, but it would be hilarious if you really drove through it like those martyrs.
"Don't worry, with the firepower of this ship, an ordinary small frigate, without a dozen or so besieges, it is impossible to be an opponent, and the phase space is the last means of life, and it is generally not easy to use." Elise straightened her small chest and said.
David thought about it, too, after all, this was originally the territory of the Spark Council, presumably unless there was an invasion of the Void species, they should not be able to use the phase generation system.
"Then let's get ready for sea trials."
However, just as they were about to board the phase transport ship known as the Peacemaker, the Hanin's mechanical brain sent an unknown signal.
There was even no secrecy at all, and after a simple transcoding, it became the lingua franca of the First Empire:
"Acquisition ~ Old Engines, Old Furnaces, Old Ships and Eco-Planets~"

PS: It's good to say tomorrow or the day after tomorrow... Well, if you don't go out tomorrow, you can make up for it with peace of mind~
PS2: Thank you for the 5,000 reward from the students of 'Mo Xu Nian'~
Thanks to the 'Mo Lingshou' classmates for their rewards~
