The new Tinder has basically taken shape, although it is only the size of a frigate, and it is not the size of a standard destroyer. However, this has already made Yan Shiyi very satisfied, after all, it has been repaired to this extent from a small warship that has been damaged and scrapped.

"Chief, the Tinder has been repaired." Yan Thirty-four, that is, the Tinder reported.

"Chief, we have a serious problem right now, and that is energy. We don't have many energy crystals in our hands right now, and we can build hundreds of warships according to our plan, which cannot be built on a large scale. Yan Twelve was obviously very worried about his current state.

Yan Shiyi also fell into deep thought when he saw the Tinder suspended in the air, energy is indeed the biggest constraint at present, but more than a thousand pieces of silver mangjing are still too few for building a fleet.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" He asked, looking at the brothers around him.

"Battleship materials are easy to do, we can get it by constantly devouring the material on this planet, energy, we really can't get it now, except for a few crystals, this planet is all ordinary materials, and the more precious thing is the meteorite that sank into the ground in front of us."

"Since we can get the materials to build a battleship through devouring, why don't we make our own energy crystals?"

I don't know who said it.

"We make our own energy crystals?" Yan Shiyi's heart was shocked.

Most of the battleship construction materials needed to build a warship through devouring and separating were metals, but Yan Shiyi didn't think about whether he could make energy crystals by himself.

So, he and everyone buried themselves in sorting out the information to see if they could find a way to replace energy crystals such as silver mango crystals.

Yan Thirty-four also jumped out of the Tinder at this time, and turned into a large Yan Eleven.

"The engine of the Tinder was originally an ion engine, which required energy and also needed ionized jet material, which was not efficient, and was later modified to use energy crystals, can we start from the original ion engine method and find energy that can be used as a power in between?"

"In between?" Everyone was amazed.

"What do you think?"

"Ordinary energy is not suitable for us, we are just a few people, the battleships are all constructed by us, the control is quite convenient, since there is no need to carry people, it doesn't matter about the internal space, we can use the original jet method, but to ensure high efficiency, we need to have a substance similar to energy crystals."

Everyone nodded their heads after hearing this, and continued to search for suitable technologies and materials in their minds according to this line of thought.

"There's one thing that's appropriate." Yan Shiyi said, his mind now stored the content obtained by the original legion, "But I don't know how to obtain this substance. ”

"What?"

"Metallic hydrogen."

"It's an ancient technology, and it's still being used in some territories, but it's not very efficient, mainly because of the low yield."

"We don't have the equipment to make metallic hydrogen, and we don't have access to high-purity hydrogen on this planet." Others shook their heads

。

"That's not a problem." Yan Shiyi looked up at a fist-sized point of light in the sky and said, "That planet is a large gas planet, I noticed it when I passed by, there are rich hydrogen resources on it. ”

"But the pressure on that is not something that the Tinder can withstand." Yan Thirty-four shook his head and said.

"The Tinder is not suitable right now, but it's not that there's no way, we can build a small ship with as little space as possible in it, so that there is no pressure. The method of making metallic hydrogen is actually very simple, under the high temperature and high pressure of the core of the gaseous planet, it is easy to form semi-solid polymeric hydrogen, which only needs to be swallowed and discharged to obtain, and then we put it on the small spacecraft to transport back to the Tinder. ”

"Now we don't have enough of them to build battleships quickly, I want to use all the blue lazuli for replication, and then divide into two teams, one team here to build battleships according to the Tinder as a template, but this kind of battleship is bigger, the current Tinder is a little smaller, and the other team will follow me to the gaseous planet to devour and make metallic hydrogen."

"Yes, Chief." The crowd replied in unison.

Whether this idea is good or bad, as long as Yan Shiyi decides, the others have no opinion, after all, they all originate from Yan Shiyi, and they can only be regarded as a copy and extension of Yan Shiyi.

Yan Shiyi turned around and returned to the Tinder, took out all the blue lazuli, and copied it with others, this time the copy was much faster than the previous one due to the addition of others.

By the time the blue lazuli was exhausted, the serial number had already reached Yan three hundred and sixty-one.

Looking at the team that had just taken shape in front of him, Yan Shiyi still had a sense of accomplishment, if he wanted to replicate it in the future, he would need a chance or return to the legion, it was very simple, the blue lazuli was gone.

Although it is also possible to use silver mangjing, the efficiency is greatly reduced, and Yan Shiyi still wants to use it as a backup energy source for the Tinder.

"Leave half of it here to devour matter, build a battleship, build a small spaceship first, and let's go to that gaseous planet with the Tinder."

"Chief, I have a suggestion, this planet is too ordinary, should we devour the meteorite in this crater first, we don't need to build any equipment at all, and now the number of people is enough, and we should be able to cover the meteorite with full force, and we will get a lot of materials needed to build warships."

"Yes, when this place is devoured, this planet will be swallowed as well." Yan Shiyi directly clapped the board.

Coming to the center of the crater, everyone liquefied and wrapped it one after another, and as the liquid continued to swallow downward, it gradually continued to expand, and the useful components in the liquid were constantly precipitated, slowly gathering in one place, forming materials in the particles.

The material particles became more and more numerous, and gradually a hill formed in the center. The size of this meteorite is not very large, it is indeed rich in metals, Yan Shiyi according to the inertia of thinking, after swallowing, there are more metal particles precipitated, and other substances are discarded as garbage.

After the liquefaction, the people have no voice, but they can communicate directly.

"Chief, why don't we just build one

Mothership, how troublesome it is to pile up those materials there. Yan Twelve was obviously more active in his thinking.

"Also, Yan Thirty-Four, you have experience in building warships, so you can use these materials to build a mothership as a vehicle to go to that gaseous planet."

Yan Thirty-four was very happy with this task, and directly separated from the liquid group, and pounced on the pair of materials, constantly liquefiing and deforming.

A hexagonal battleship slowly formed, and then continued to expand outwards as materials were replenished, and the shell of the battleship continued to expand like a balloon. Piles of material liquefied and replenished into the battleship at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon a thousand-kilometer battleship was formed.

"Chief, this mothership can only do this at present, no matter how big it is, it will be inconvenient, we can add materials to expand it at any time."

"Well, let's do it first, fill it with material. Then build a small landing ship. ”

Yan Shiyi's decision was quickly implemented.

In the end, the meteorite embedded in the planet was completely devoured and decomposed, and a large amount of materials were used for the warship's shell, mostly metal, leaving only a piece of waste abandoned by Yan Shiyi.

The reason why Yan Shiyi is biased towards metal for materials is that it is easy to swallow, easy to precipitate, and convenient for crystallization. This is clearly different from the requirements for the construction of most warships in this world.

What requirements such as good resistance, sturdiness, and lightness didn't matter at all to Yan Shiyi, who was an intelligent machine himself, and he hadn't thought about building a fleet that could carry people, and he had no one to carry.

His requirements for the construction of battleships were simple, maneuverable, flexible and powerful. He didn't care about attrition, and if he was given time, a planet's material could build countless warships.

What's more, there are so many planets in this world that they are almost readily available.

The only thing that restricts him is energy and control ability, now he only has more than three hundred people, and he doesn't know how many warships he can control, this can't be calculated yet, but in his mind, he needs to build an unmanned legion fleet of more than one million for the legion commander.

Looking at the small mothership formed in front of him, Yan Shiyi broke away from the liquid state and jumped directly into the battleship, the inside of the battleship was still constantly replenishing materials, making adjustments, and the space inside was gradually filled with materials, leaving only a small space, which was prepared to deal with the high pressure of the gaseous planet.

"Alright, half of the crew will follow me to the gaseous planet, and the rest of the personnel will continue to devour and build here."

After saying that, one hundred and eighty people jumped onto the mothership, and the mothership raised its head and quickly detached itself from the planet and flew towards the gaseous planet in the distance.

At present, the only energy that can be used is the silver mangjing, Yan Shiyi is a little distressed, but there is no way, fortunately, there is not much needed, and he can still take out six silver mangjing.

The gas planet gradually became larger in front of the mothership, and even under the traction of the six engines of the mothership, it was quickly attracted by gravity, and Yan Shiyi reduced the thrust while ensuring the ability to maneuver, and slowly landed towards the gas planet.

The dim giant cyclone with a swirling shape continued to impact the mothership, making this nearly a thousand

The battleship of the meter is like a small boat in the sea, constantly spinning and rocking.

The atmospheres of the gaseous planets are almost entirely hydrogen and helium, mixed with some methane and some free metal sodium, which constantly impacts and erodes the metal shell of the mother ship.

Fortunately, the mothership's shell was thick enough, and Yan Shiyi didn't care about that.

The speed of the mothership is falling faster than that of a free fall, rushing straight down, the temperature outside is constantly rising, and the shell of the mothership is slightly melted, this is still the high-purity metal that Yan Shiyi and they precipitated, if it was an ordinary substance, it would have melted a long time ago.

"Chief, we have descended nearly a thousand kilometers and cannot continue to descend, the buoyancy is too great and the temperature is too high, and the shell has been volatilized and stripped nearly three meters thick."

"Well, then let the mothership stop here, leave Yan Twelve here to wait, and we will continue down on the lander."

The so-called lander is very simple, except for a few huge engines, almost a ball with a small space in the center of tens of meters. Yan Shiyi passed through a small passage, liquefied and squeezed in, and continued to fall down.

I don't know how long it has been falling, Yan Shiyi is a little numb.

The lander had no other additional equipment, until Yan Shiyi felt that the lander was stunned, and he knew that this was the gas-liquid level of the gaseous planet, and it should be a semi-liquid substance downward.
