Chapter 267, it's time for the favorite card draw again
At present, the technical ability of the Raging Star in the construction of the basic army is probably relatively complete.
Not to mention how superb it is, the top-notch equipment is much worse, but at least all the conventional military equipment can be self-produced.
The Air Force has a Wind Falcon on top, so it's okay, at least it can be used for air-to-ground support, airdrop, and airborne operations.
But about the construction of space, it has not even started yet.
And 'Traveler' is a good start.
This thing is also not very big, about the size of a V-shaped landing ship, according to the army that can be loaded, it can hold up to 500 people with their equipment at a time, and if it is less loaded, it can also be stuffed into a tank, which is probably the strength of a battalion anyway.
In fact, the technology used by the two is very similar. There is almost thick armor, and the weapons used are similar, you can get a few reflector laser cannons on it, and if you have to use a live machine gun, it is also arbitrary, and the firepower is stronger than the Wind Falcon, but it is also limited.
However, the core difference is that the 'Voyager' has the ability to travel interstellarly, and can cross the stargate alone, pass through the astral tunnel, and travel the astral boundary.
In order to achieve astral crossing, the 'Voyager' will carry three technologies that ordinary landing ships do not have: the Migration Engine, the Migration Identification System, and the Astral Force Field.
The jumping engine is to provide power for the spacecraft to enter the transition state, and the low-level engine cannot give this energy output;
The migration recognition system is used to find, locate, and connect to the stargate;
The Astral Force Field is used to provide additional protection for the entire spacecraft during the process of migration, avoiding psionic energy and waste energy, and protecting the minds of the people in the spacecraft from damage and distortion.
These three things are indispensable.
But it's a pity that the current alliance doesn't have one.
Even, Gu Hang suspects that the technology that produces these three things will not be as simple as entering the class, and it is very likely that it will be elite-level.
But the good news is that although it cannot be mass-produced, the black box can directly pull out all the main parts of the spacecraft, and the follow-up is to ask skilled workers to 'build blocks'.
Of course, it's nonsense to expect to take the Travelers and build a Star Navy.
It's too much difference in level.
The Leap Engine, Leap Identification, and Astral Protective Force Fields equipped on the Traveler are all very small; The weapons and equipment on it, in the face of large starships, are like tickling; Its own protection will be shattered by others.
Only the poorest astral pirates will use this thing to carry out extreme modifications and wolf pack tactics - to put it bluntly, they can gather enough cannon fodder to send it, which can attract some attention and create some opportunities for the capital ship to be considered a success.
Its usual use is to carry out astral travel with people and small quantities of cargo; If it is used in warfare, it is harassment, reconnaissance, and the like.
Its advantages are small size, low cost per flight, flexibility and low cost.
Of course, the so-called low cost is compared with those starships that are hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn. The cost of the project itself is estimated to be about 1.6 million tax dollars.
This thing still has to be made.
It's not enough to build a serious navy, but at least it's the Alliance's first step into the Star Sea.
And it's not for nothing. Its presence, within the planet, could provide the Alliance with the ability to deploy militarily anywhere on the planet around the clock. In the middle of a war, if you can drop an armored battalion anywhere on the planet in a short period of time, it will still bring a very big advantage.
And Gu Hang is not completely without enemies on the Raging Owl Star.
The soft persimmons are basically pinched, but in the west of the entire continent, there is still a Blackbird Heavy Industry, which cannot be regarded as an indigenous force, this is a group supported by the Facher family, or even simply the industry of the Facher family.
Although the current well water of the two sides does not interfere with the river water, Gu Hang, as the governor of the planet, he can't quite accept that there is a huge and uncontrolled force on his planet.
Moreover, he did not forget that according to the request of the head of the star sector, he had to turn against Blackbird Heavy Industries.
But the specific time was not said, and Gu Hang did not plan to do it immediately.
It's just that you have to be prepared in advance for the possibility of doing it - even if Gu Hang doesn't do it, people may notice something and cause trouble in advance.
Taking advantage of the global rapid deployment capabilities offered by the Voyagers could be very effective in this conflict.
In addition to the interior of the planet, the astral travel provided by the Voyager will also facilitate the connection between the Raging Star and the Black Arrow Star. It is much easier to communicate with each other and dispatch management officials.
Although he should be able to use the Gu family's caravan to do this in the future, after all, it is not good to trouble 'others' too much.
This 'other' is really not Gu Hang's polite statement. Even if he is the head of the Gu family in the future, the Gu family's model is a bit like a franchisee, among the fourteen fleets—oh, there are only twelve left—and the Gu investment company established by the Gu family's master has shares, more or less some. Among them, only five can achieve absolute controlling interest; The remaining seven will obey the unified order of Gu's firm, make unified arrangements, and everyone will make money together.
They are not employees of the Gu family, let alone retainers, and they are not available at will.
With a traveler, it's convenient to do something similar.
Of course, there is also the issue of security. The combat ability of the 'Traveler' is too weak, and if it encounters a space pirate, it will still be quite dangerous.
However, the journey from Raging Owl to Black Arrow is not in a bustling shipping lane, there is no oil and water, there are not a few merchant ships running around the year, and pirates are not very happy to fool around in this place, so they don't have to worry too much about this issue.
In the future, if the number of travelers increases, for example, there are more than 20 ships, the number of people delivered at one time can also reach 10,000 people, and they can barely be used to send troops between the astral boundaries.
However, it is still a bit unrealistic to expect to be able to pull production capacity purely with black boxes and be able to get twenty ships up.
Now, if you use the black box alone, it is estimated that it will only be possible to pull out a 'Traveler' every four months.
The main thing is that the volume of this thing is not small, the black box is not so big, and it is impossible to directly produce a finished product at one time, in fact, it is a module by module, and various components are produced.
It's just that, like all black box products, the difficulty of assembling these parts produced from it is very low, and ordinary skilled workers can do it.
The speed at which the black box produces those parts one by one cannot go up in the first place; Secondly, it takes time to assemble.
This also created four months to put together a 'Voyager'.
Gu Hang estimates that if a larger, real starship technology is obtained in the future, then even if there is a black box that can directly produce finished products regardless of the pre-technology, the production cycle may be based on years.
It must still be built.
If you take 10,000 steps back, you can pull out a traveler in four months, and you will use it purely to offset taxes, which is also 1.8 million tax coins; Three units a year is more than five million, which is enough for the imperial tax of the angry owl star for a year.
The key is purely equal to picking up for nothing.
Of course, Gu Hang hadn't worried about anything for a long time because of the imperial tax. With the current state of the alliance, it is completely sufficient.
……
Gu Hang still had 10,000 gifts left in his hand, he thought about it, and still resisted the temptation of 10,000 gears.
The main thing is that the 1000 gear has not been drained yet.
Although the cost performance is not high.
At present, the probability of 1000 gear has dropped to 67.5% of the probability that it will be empty, 10% of the basic level, 20% of the entry and exit level, and 2.5% of the elite level.
Even if it is not continued according to this ratio, there will only be three technologies in ten consecutive draws, and there is a high probability that it will be advanced to the level or basic level, and the elite level may not be able to draw it.
But in contrast, the 10,000 gear drawn out is more likely to be good, but not useful.
It's better to draw the previous prize pool first.
So, he came again with a ten-shot.
Luck is a preference, although there are only three technologies, but one is elite-level, and the other two are all advanced level, and there is no basic level.
The two advanced tiers are [Chainsaw Sword] and [Sentinel Mecha]; That elite level is the [Astral Protective Force Field].
Pulling out the [Chainsaw Sword], Gu Hang was a little depressed.
There are so few uses that you can even go and buy it.
Of course, it is best to be able to make it yourself, but the precious science and technology quota may be more useful if you give something else.
[Sentinel Mecha] also means the same thing.
In the Black Arrow Star, Gu Hang had seen the abilities of the Sentinel Mecha...... That's it.
In the decisive battle on the plains, it can play a role a little too low, far less than the Lion tank at the same price as it. The latter is large, the barrel is thick, and it is resistant to beating, and it will be much better when it is a decisive weapon.
On the contrary, the Sentinel Mecha is expensive, lacks firepower, and the armor is not good.
It's still not the right way.
For example, in the landing battle and anti-landing inside the starship, the role of the Sentinel Mecha is much greater than that of the Lion Tank - the tank can not be driven inside the starship, and can only stay in the warehouse honestly, it is too big.
In some difficult terrains such as infiltration combat, mountains or swamps, tanks may not be able to get up, but Sentinel Mechs can be as unimpeded as people.
When the other side launched an attack on a certain hill, it could only throw in infantry troops, but when it came up, it was a sentry mecha that came on, and it was very desperate at this time.
It can't be used as the main force in the decisive battle, but in some special circumstances, it can play a role that tanks can't play.
Although Gu Hang doesn't like it very much, he will still choose to build some.
It's the same nature as [Chainsaw Sword]: it's all drawn, what can I do?
It's just made.
Moreover, one of the things that makes the Sentinel Mecha better than the Chainsaw Sword is that it is not sold.
In terms of the civilization and cultural state of the Black Arrow Star, the so-called mecha is quite popular, and Gu Hang can sell it to those knights as much as he produces here.
As for the elite-level technology [Astral Protective Force Field] that was extracted, this is an ability that is really not needed, but must be reserved.
In the future, it will be a necessary pre-technology to build a starship, regardless of its size, and it is a necessary ability to protect spaceships and starships when they pass through the astral tunnel.
Let's stock it up for now.
……
After completing the science and technology lottery, Gu Hang went to Weixing City.
On the one hand, he inspected the situation of the most important industrial core of this alliance, and on the other hand, he also wanted to go to the research institute and give the six technologies he had just obtained, a total of twelve black boxes, all of them to Wu Jiarong.
Regarding the fact that Governor Gu sent himself a few black boxes every once in a while, Wu Jiarong was already numb.
If you can't study it, you can't study it at all.
She thought that she was wandering in the ocean of happiness, and a few black boxes were enough for an ordinary mechanical teacher, and she would benefit a lot in her lifelong scientific research career.
However, she didn't expect that one day she would be extremely distressed because there were too many black boxes.
She's drowning!
However, this is a happy annoyance.
It's troubles that are troubles, and the main thing is happiness.
She said to the Governor, "At the current pace, I estimate that in another year, I will be able to surpass the level of the Engine Prophet and reach the level of Dominating Bishops." ”
"So fast?" Gu Hang was a little surprised.
The Dominating Bishop, this rank, can be regarded as a high-level in the Mechanic Church.
Further up, you can get the title of 'Sage'. Although he is only a sage of the main industry, there are many leaders of the mechanical casting world, and he is at this level.
Faced with Gu Hang's question, Wu Jiarong replied: "There are too many black boxes, I can get new inspiration almost every day, and I can't make slow progress if I want to......"
Gu Hang smiled and asked, "Then do you want to go back?" Perhaps, an assessment and the release of several research results can make you famous in a mechanical casting world, and then ...... You may indeed become a presiding bishop. ”
Wu Jiarong shook her head.
She's still very self-aware.
She knew that it was dangerous for her to express the desire to leave. Even if there is only one black box here, it is a big secret, let alone so many.
Besides, even if the governor had some means to seal and cleanse her memory, and let her go with confidence, she didn't want to go.
"Looking back on the past, in those years of the Mechanic Sect, it was really boring." Wu Jiarong said with emotion, "Intrigue and power struggle, just these are enough, and you can endure it without a simple scientific research environment." But the lack of resources is really unbearable. A little bit of knowledge, a little bit of opportunity, a little bit of research results will be regarded as the capital of struggle. I've had the most comfortable and happiest two years with you, and I really don't want to go back to the past. ”
Gu Hang smiled and said, "That's good." ”
"Don't worry, I don't have the slightest idea of leaving. What is a presiding bishop? Perhaps, in the future, I will also have the opportunity to reach the level of a sage in the main business, or even a great sage? ”
"I'm really looking forward to that day." Gu Hang said sincerely.
If you can really cultivate a sage on your own planet, it will be quite invincible.
Not to mention the ability in scientific research, to the level of a sage, which one is not a top combat power?
