Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 47: New Achievements

The biggest problem of the Fourth Civilization is the huge gap with the Galactic Republic. Now they really need such a talent to make their economic system in line with the Republic's system, so as to get the last bonus before the war.

The joining of Semid is just a timely help.

Tang Xiao wasn't worried that Semid would have any ulterior motives, because there was no room for him in the huge Galaxy. As long as he shows up, he will immediately be hunted down endlessly by the Interstellar Banking Association.

Semid's only choice is to stay in the Fourth Group, and he should be able to understand his situation. If he can't show enough value, then Tang Xiao will definitely 'dispose' of him without hesitation. Hego Damask II sells a good one.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao's mood improved a lot. He came to the porthole and looked around the Mothership. Now the area around the mothership has become much more lively, with a large number of transport ships shuttling between the mining stations that have been expanded to five on the gas giant planet.

There are also a large number of transport ships passing between Dawn Planet and the mothership. After the expansion and construction, they now have more than 20 transport ships, and there are already 100 mining transport ships that can only fly in space.

Two umbrella-shaped huge space research modules with a diameter of more than 200 meters float around the mothership, captured by the gravity of the Mothership itself, and move slowly in a synchronous orbit with the Mothership. These are the Institute of Physics and the Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering respectively. Place.

Among them, the Institute of Engineering has added many auxiliary modules, and the size is even larger. You can also see a spaceship more than 30 meters long docking outside the Institute of Engineering. Two large turrets are installed on this spaceship, which looks a bit strange. Tune in.

On the other side are two interstellar shipyards, one of which is under construction and has not yet been completed. This is a small interstellar dock used by frigate-class spacecraft. The rectangular assembly factory is about 100 meters long. Next to the dock area are more than a dozen engineering cantilevers to fix unfinished spacecraft. Judging from the coverage of these cantilevers, it should be possible to build many Frigates with dimensions exceeding 50 meters in length.

This is also the size of a standard Corvette

According to the standards of the Fourth Civilization, an aircraft under 15 meters is called a Light Fighter;

An aircraft of 15 to 30 meters is called a Heavy Fighter;

An aircraft of 30 to 50 meters is called a Light Frigate;

50 to 80 meters are Heavy FrigateS;

80 to 150 meters are Light Destroyers;

150 meters to 300 meters are Heavy Destroyers;

300 meters to 500 meters are Light Cruisers;

500 meters to 1000 meters are Heavy Cruisers;

More than 1,000 meters is a Capital Ship, and there are more types of Capital Ships, such as Carriers, Battleships, Battlecruisers, and so on.

Now in the completed dock, a spaceship that is almost exactly the same as that docked outside the Institute of Engineering is being assembled, but the size of the turret on this spaceship is much normal. The structure of the spaceship has been completed, and several automatic robotic arms on the cantilever are installing thick outer armor for the spaceship.

Around the unfinished dock, more than a dozen small engineering spaceships are constantly busy. The construction workers drove the spacecraft to take out the processed equipment parts from the manufacturing center of the mothership and then flew over to install them on the dock. It looks like the dock is a few days away from being finished.

Tang Xiao nodded, picked up the communicator and connected to the research room. Dr. Qu Xuewen answered the communication. She bowed slightly to Tang Xiao before asking, "Is there anything I can do for you Supreme Commander?"

Tang Xiao asked directly: "Has the research on the Hammer-class Frigate been completed?"

Qu Xuewen nodded and replied: "Yes, the research was completed two days ago. At that time, you were still on the Dawn Star. Because Qi Jian was very urgent, we started production immediately."

"By the way, the Frigate parked outside your research institute..."

"It looks different, doesn't it?" Qu Xuewen laughed, "This frigate is the first Hammer-class Frigate we built, and the turrets on it are two turbolaser turrets. The relatively complete things obtained from the wreckage of the three bounty hunter spacecraft. It is too wasteful to install on the transport ship, so Professor Chi is leading us to carry out some modifications, and then find a way to install the turbolaser turret on the Frigate."

"Can I come and visit?"

"Yes, Supreme Commander. I will report to Professor Chi immediately and make arrangements."

Taking a transport ship to the Engineering Research Center, this is the first time Tang Xiao has come here. Before that, he had only been to the engineering laboratory set up inside the mothership.

Now the structure of the research center built in the space is much more compact, but the equipment inside is denser and more advanced.

Tang Xiao also saw that a medium-sized blue laser cannon was being tested in a laboratory. A laser cannon with a length of more than 4 meters was erected on the frame, behind which were densely packed wires and pipes. Following the order of the technician, the laser cannon fired a blue laser beam that was not dazzling and irradiated it on a target set in outer space.

But the laser beam only irradiated the target for less than a second, and the pipeline behind suddenly billowed with thick smoke and sparks flickered. The technicians quickly stopped the experiment, and several people in protective clothing rushed in with fire extinguishers and sprayed on the pipeline.

Qu Xuewen greeted her, followed Tang Xiao's gaze, smiled and said: "This is the prototype of the blue laser sent by Guan Yan from the physics laboratory, and it has been tested three times today but, although blue lasers are much more powerful than infrared lasers, and have a longer range because they are less disturbed because of their shorter wavelengths, our weapons platforms are not yet equipped to use this advanced laser."

She walked over to look at the laser cannon that had been covered with fire-extinguishing foam, shook her head and said to a technician next to her: "This prototype machine is no longer usable. Give the data receipt to Dr. Guan Yan. Tell her about the energy conversion relay. The parameters of the inverter are too high, and if we want to make our current energy supply equipment usable, we need to reduce the parameters by at least 5%."

"Another 5% reduction? Dr. Guan will definitely scold the public when he hears this..." The technician wiped off a cold sweat.

"Then let her scold the street, anyway, it's the street and not me." Qu Xuewen stroked his hair, disapproving, "I leave this to you, I need to accompany the administrator to Professor Chi's side."

"Ah? Supreme Commander! Hello, Supreme Commander!" The technician saw Tang Xiao's presence and quickly bowed.

Tang Xiao nodded in return and then walked to the other side while visiting the research center accompanied by Qu Xuewen. Along the way, Qu Xuewen introduced the research projects and facilities here to Tang Xiao in a very talkative manner. She was obviously completely different from the female doctor in Tang Xiao's impression, and she had no social fear at all. On the contrary, she talked a lot.
