Chapter 8: Starfish and Squid
"Lord Dean, shall we test the new hyperspace communication repeater now?" A researcher in the Great Qin uniform on the Emperor asked.
"You can start testing." Although Manyin was young, she was not an amateur at all when it came to Banu and Kasika, "Sister Dean, let's start testing now." ”
The starfish-like ship on the screen, with a long spike protruding above and below, slowly started at Manin's command.
Five different sharp corners began to be filled with energy of different attributes, and the vine quickly pressed on the screen, forming a star-like radiation area, surrounded by a sphere on the outside, which should be the coverage of this device, if you look closer, you will definitely be shocked by the huge range space it covers.
It's more than 100 light-years away.
"Launch."
With Manyin's command, five kinds of energy were emitted outward from different sharp corners, forming five ripples that spread out towards the outer layer, and soon converged in the extreme distance, and the different energies interacted with each other, forming new attribute ripples, but the information they loaded did not change.
The ripples advanced and superimposed in an extremely fast way, and coupled with the diffusion of energy by hyperspace, they quickly spread far away, far faster than the single-energy communication repeater used by the Great Qin Empire before.
Far away at the other end of the Falling Point Cluster, the same such device flashed and burst into action, having received the information and converting it to its original way and projecting it into regular space not far away.
In a fleet that was secretly waiting in a no-man's land in the conventional space, Qin Huo had already received the information, and he immediately excitedly sent the news of a success to Qin Baiyu, who was still waiting for the results in the Extraordinary City.
Qin Baiyu was also very excited when he got this news, this kind of high-speed hyperspace communication capability is what Daqin urgently needs most, this can almost be regarded as the communication with the smallest delay, and it doesn't take long to prepare, you must know that the hyperspace repeater used before needs several hours of calibration time to start, not to say that it can be used.
In particular, it is not very easy to go up and down from hyperspace to conventional space, and it is not possible to do it quickly. This is very fatal for battlefield command and emergency communications.
Now this problem has been easily solved by Manyin.
This kind of communication repeater is very expensive, and it can only use Chaos Hedron as an energy source, but it is worth it. Chaos Crystal, although it is now considered a non-renewable energy source for the Great Qin Empire due to the closure of the chaotic space, but at that time, due to Yan Shiyi's participation, he used all his clones to condense hundreds of millions of them, which was enough to be used for a long time.
"It would be nice if such a device could convert ordinary matter into energy, it's a bit wasteful." Manin was not satisfied with the success of the experiment, she knew the device's weaknesses.
Although she has not been in charge of the space laboratory for a long time to establish the research institute, some of her ideas are becoming reality, and some of her ideas coincide with the Xingti Nine Heavens, which can use crystals of different energies, but Manyin does not have this condition.
"It would be nice to have a neutron star in it to convert energy, and it would be much easier." Manin brought up his previous thoughts again.
This startled the two deans beside him, "Manyin, this matter is not in a hurry. "They were afraid that the vine would capture some neutron star, and they knew that the extreme object of the neutron star was not something to be touched at will.
It was impossible for them to let Manyin take the risk, she was now the treasure of the entire Great Qin Empire, just as important as the Red City was to the Protoss.
"Don't worry," Manyin said with a smile, "I'm an ordinary person, and of course I won't do anything beyond my power. ”
"Now that the hyperspace communication repeater test has been successful, how about we test our newly developed warship?" Manin's proposal is exactly what the two deans want, as long as Manin no longer thinks about getting a neutron star.
A more peculiar-looking battleship slowly flew out of the fleet, with a slender conical hull and five tentacles-like things around the stern engine, making it impossible for everyone to tell which end of the battleship was the bow and which end was the stern.
But obviously, its tip is the main gun.
This kind of design is beyond everyone's expectations, "Hehe, Manyin, your design will always be so peculiar." Seeing this strange-looking battleship on the screen, Banu couldn't help but laugh.
"This is also a matter of no choice, I want to build an engine that can support a variety of energy, I can only design like this, don't look at the tentacles at the tail are ugly, they are used to guide the energy of different attributes, of course, it can also be understood as tentacles."
"The energy input of the engine into the tentacles can generate the same or repulsive energy according to the energy characteristics of different spaces, so that a lot of speed can be obtained in conventional space, even without entering hyperspace."
"In addition, their function is to tear the space, so that they can enter another spatial level, and it is a matter of time before they penetrate the barrier."
"So powerful?" Everyone around them couldn't help but be shocked by Manin's design.
"Of course, this is a strong order from Lord White Feather, and I can't come up with such a structure. Kaze-sama and Hakuha-sama asked me to research a warship that could cross space. Of course, there is also a kind of connection that can penetrate the spatial barrier, and I don't have an idea yet. ”
"I've heard before that His Majesty once placed a biological warship at the entrance of the chaotic space as a boundary bridge. I just don't know if we still have that kind of biological warship in Daqin? ”
Due to the short time she had been in the core of Great Qin, there were many things she didn't know.
"This is no longer available, that kind of battleship is the body of a race, all of which are left after death, and there were more than a hundred of them at the beginning, but later I heard that Your Majesty asked Ilo to take them to the chaotic space."
"Ah, it's a pity, if there's one here, I can look into it and see if we can make a device that can act as a communicator, so that once we bite through the space barrier, we can connect or shut it down as needed, so that we can go along."
"I'm afraid this won't work, the recovery speed of the space barrier is very fast, if it wasn't for His Majesty's use of blue gold for that kind of boundary bridge, it would definitely not be able to support it."
"I think if the inside of the boundary bridge is filled with space that repels attribute energy with the surrounding barriers, I can suppress the contraction of the barriers, but I don't know where to get that kind of space or space energy with this characteristic, just relying on the transformation of chaos crystals, I feel a little distressed." Manyin said with some disappointment.
"You guy still says it's distressing, almost all of your consumption from these experiments can be used by a fleet for a year."
Hearing this, Manyin stuck out her little tongue and grimaced at the two of them, at this time she seemed to be a complete little girl, not at all consistent with her identity as the director of the Imperial Space Research Institute.
Her actions made the two deans laugh too, "Manyin, if your majesty sees you like this, maybe you will cancel your quasi-queen." ”
"It's canceled, I'm not here for the queen's position."
"Haha, but now the entire Great Qin knows that you are the queen of the Great Qin Empire." Kasikari teased Manin, and they were both eager to see Manin like this.
"But I'm not yet, I haven't seen your majesty, and besides, if your majesty doesn't like me. I heard that His Majesty is very serious, and I am a little afraid. ”
"Oh, hahaha, Your Majesty is still serious?" Manin's statement made everyone present burst out laughing.
"I said Manyin, Your Majesty is not only serious, but very serious."
"Hahaha."
Manyin immediately understood that the two deans were talking the opposite.
"Then ......, what kind of person is Your Majesty? Can you tell me about it? Instead of being angry, she took Banu's hand and asked.
"Your Majesty, a very attractive man, according to himself, he is not from this world, he comes from a place called Earth. He was a colonizer, and his worm was named Annie, a beautiful little girl. Oh, the wisdom brain of his ship is called Xingti, who has obtained a new body, a human body, and is now the princess of our Great Qin Empire. ”
At this time, several women had forgotten what experiment they were going to do next, and talked about Qin Feng.
After listening to everyone's description of Qin Feng, Manyin also became very curious, this emperor of the Great Qin Empire had so many legends and experiences, he seemed to be different from other rulers. An indescribable emotion rose in Manyin's heart.
Is this the man he wants to marry?
"Haha, our Empress Manyin, don't think about it anymore, you'll know when Your Majesty comes back."
"Let's start experimenting now, we're going to see this battleship you designed."
Manyin came back to her senses, a blush appeared on her face, and she stomped her foot, but pulled a screen casually.
"Experiment!"
"Manyin, tell me what is so magical about this battleship first?" Banu asked, you must know that she is the director of the Imperial Research Institute, which is famous for designing warships, this research institute is different from the Academy of Sciences in Kasikali, the full name is the Great Qin Imperial Military Research Institute, and many imperial warships are from here, all of which are Banu's handwriting.
"Well, just look at it. Now it's hyperspace, and it's not yet possible for it to show its full capabilities. ”
With the click of Manin on the screen, the strange-looking battleship instantly accelerated and broke out of hyperspace, and Manin also deployed some detection equipment in the regular space, and was transmitting the corresponding information through the device of the pentagram.
I saw that the battleship was flying upside down, and the tentacles in front of it were constantly fluttering, cutting through the space in front of it, and it seemed to swallow the space in front of it into the engine, and the speed was beyond imagination.
"Can a battleship still be like this?!" The two deans exclaimed.
Suddenly, the hull of the moving battleship was shining, and a ring of energy was transmitted backwards from the engine part, and it was rapidly piled up towards the head cone, and the head had become extremely bright, and finally reached a saturated state.
The space it passed through shattered slightly, but not completely.
The energy instantly crossed the distance, and a huge target ship a light year away in the distance shattered, turning into countless fragments and flying in all directions.
If Qin Feng saw this scene, he must have a familiar feeling about the appearance of these two warships and devices, the communication repeater of the pentagram was like a starfish, and this battleship was more like a huge squid.
