Chapter 742: Turned Out (Part 1)
? The next day, Yun Haoyu held a secret meeting in the Palace Courtyard. The two queens, the Great Wise, and all fifteen major figures from the No. 0 Project Supreme Committee attended!
In addition, hundreds of major project leaders of the engineering team also attended the meeting to communicate and negotiate on many issues we have encountered recently and discuss solutions!
"I have read the relevant reports about the various difficulties that arise during the project!" The emperor on the imperial throne spoke first.
"However, what are the specific problems? What are the difficulties that need to be solved? I want to hear the detailed explanations of you responsible persons today!"
According to the original schedule, the first Death Starship should have begun to conduct actual combat tests! However, because various problems have not been solved, this big guy is still lying on the base and cannot be born!
This project is related to the future rise and fall of the empire, and is an important bargaining chip for the empire to fight against foreign races and unify the star sea. If it cannot be released for a long time, the consequences will be too serious! It will comprehensively affect the empire's future strategic plans, and even lead to the hopeless realization of the empire's great cause of unification!
The plan has been carried out without turning back. The empire's huge amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources have been consumed. No matter what considerations are made, we must persist!
Jin Yue stood up and said, "Your Majesty! After analysis and summary, I can basically summarize it into one problem: material!"
"Since the empire does not yet have the strength of the Yuan Ancient God clan, the territory it controls is far inferior! Therefore, we cannot get all the special raw materials for creating key components of the Death Starship! The performance of the alternative materials is not up to standard, so the project is in trouble!"
"Oh! So that's how it is!" Yun Haoyu looked at Xiao Muhan beside her, and she hurriedly said:
"For this matter, I have ordered a large number of people to conduct a comprehensive search of all resource galaxies in the entire empire's territory! In addition, hundreds of exploration fleets have been sent to the wild star field around the empire to survey, hoping to gain something!"
"Is the empire confident that it will find the resources needed within half a year?" Yun Haoyu asked again.
Queen Xiao shook her head: "Your Majesty, this is impossible! The missing materials are not one or two in many key components of the Death Starship! I have read the list and there are hundreds of kinds of rare raw materials, many of which are extremely valuable strategic resources in those major alien civilizations. If you want to get them, if you cut them off their hearts!"
"There are many types of them. I have consulted academic authorities in the fields of the empire. They have never even heard of them! It can be seen that it is not something that can be found in the current Star Sea World!"
In a word, the current foundation of the empire is not on the same level as the ancient civilization that shocks the star sea! So if you want to create such a big killer weapon, you are already a little overwhelmed, even if you have obtained the technological inheritance of this civilization!
Send a large number of expedition fleets to the wilderness to search. Such actions can only be said to be a destiny. After all, the empire cannot have such a fierce luck to find all the resources needed in the short term! Moreover, the danger of the wild galaxy is well known! Such actions that only seek results and cost will inevitably lead to a large number of fleets being buried in it due to various accidents!
Moreover, such a large-scale action will inevitably be noticed by the alien civilizations over time, so they will take targeted measures and do everything possible to interfere with the plan to destroy the empire!
To this end, after many discussions, the scientists of the engineering team proposed a package of solutions for developing alternative materials. The scale of this huge project requires no less than the number of human and material resources than the Dead Starship Plan! The time required is about one to two years!
If such a plan is successful, it will be a leap forward for the field of new materials in the Empire! If it is a peaceful time, Yun Haoyu will definitely approve it! Unfortunately, the empire now has not much time, and the far water cannot save the near thirst!
Yun Haoyu pondered and said, "What are the things that are missing? I want to see the list!"
Feng Lanxi immediately turned on his light brain, and on the huge projection light screen, dense material names, as well as the introduction of the general properties of each material, refining and processing methods, etc.!
The wise man looked at the people below and continued to introduce:
"According to the information obtained from Yuangu Technology, most of the origins of these materials are mentioned! However, the depths of the wild star field are too strange and unpredictable to us, so it is not so easy to find! Moreover, there are quite a few places that are too far away from the current Star Sea World! Even the most excellent adventure fleet has never arrived!"
"If we send the most elite guards of the empire out, is it possible to complete the mission?" Yun Haoyu asked.
"Your Majesty! This also takes time and is difficult to control!" she said,
"As for the cost, it is not less than what we do in the alternative material development project ourselves! Therefore, I am not optimistic about such actions!"
"If these materials were not available, what level could the Death Starship reach now? Is it worth investing in the battlefield?" Fang Yuqing asked.
Bernard stood up and said, "At this stage, if the best efforts of the imperial industrial system are made, the comprehensive performance of the Dead Starship can be ensured to meet about 30% of the design standards!"
"Its energy core can only use the enhanced version of the "Tengyuan" palace reactor unit, which directly leads to its movement speed being slightly lower than the current "Zulong"-class interstellar fortress; the power of the main gun of the Death Starship is only about twice as powerful as the model used in the palace; the recharge launch time is extended from the original 180 seconds to nine hundred seconds!"
"The protection strength of the energy barrier is only a little five times stronger than that of the Shanggong; the detection range of various radar warning systems on ships is only 20% of the design standards; the effectiveness of the force field interference shielding system will be reduced by an order of magnitude! There are many other important functions, either greatly reduced or cannot be activated at all!"
"But once this big guy is put into the battlefield, the cost of using it will not be reduced at all! The total consumption of various things will be no less than 10 billion yuan of source crystals every day! The benefits generated are far less than this number, so this kind of defective things are useless, and it is better not to use them!"
The hall fell into silence again, and everyone's expressions were not very good-looking! If this trouble could not be solved, the empire would be very passive next!
"So, can the current empire still win about two years of peace?" After a long time, the emperor's voice rang again.
Chapter completed!
