Metropolis: Technology Maniacs

The curiosity of these people is only because they don't understand the substance of Alpha Crystal.

If they know what is the use of Alpha Crystal, they won’t be surprised why Ye Su pays so much attention to it.

Alpha crystal is a very important and rare substance for all cosmic civilizations.

Because this kind of thing is a necessary material for the manufacture of mechas, only after possessing the Alpha Crystal can a real mecha be produced.

Now the humanoid armors made by Ye Su, including Xingtian I, are all reduced versions of mechas, so they can only be called humanoid armors, not mechas, the highest-end weapons in the universe.

The humanoid armor currently possessed by humans simply cannot do what real mecha can do.

Measure whether a humanoid armor reaches the level of mecha.

One of the most important metrics is the ability to fight in space.

Only by maintaining sufficient combat effectiveness in space can it be called a real mech.

Because if you want to fight in space, the performance of the mecha must reach a certain level. This is a test of the overall performance of the mecha.

If you want to fight freely in space, you first need a lot of horsepower to drive.

Unlike being on the ground in space, you can take advantage of your footing to act.

So in the weightless environment in space, it is very difficult for mechas with insufficient power to even move, let alone fighting.

If you want the mecha to have enough power, you must use a special engine to provide a lot of power for the mecha.

This kind of engine is called Alpha Engine, and it must be produced by Alpha Crystallization.

Although every Alpha Engine requires very few Alpha Crystals, it cannot be manufactured without Alpha Crystals.

The power of the Alpha engine is far from comparable to other engines, and the size and weight of the entire engine are very small.

This special engine is only as big as a human head, but it can output very powerful power.

The output power ratio per unit weight of the Alpha engine is the highest in the entire universe. No other type of engine can match it.

This is the reason why the Alpha engine is most suitable as the power of the mecha.

It's not that only this kind of engine can provide the power needed by the mecha.

It's just that the size and weight of other engines are too big to be installed on mechas.

For example, the non-working-mass galaxy-class engine used on the Trailblazer can output power to the level of the Alpha engine.

However, the size of a galaxy-class engine simply cannot fit in a mecha.

The galaxy-class engines on the Trailblazer are larger than ordinary houses, and it is impossible to install the mecha.

With the same output horsepower, the Alpha engine is only the size of a human head, while other engines are the size of a house.

The irreplaceable status of Alpha Engine is because of this extremely high performance ratio.

If you want mecha, the ultimate war weapon, to exert the most powerful combat effectiveness, something like the Alpha Engine is indispensable.

The Alpha Engine cannot be manufactured without Alpha Crystals, so this special substance is so important.

You know that mecha is the ultimate power of a civilization, and it can even reflect the strength of a cosmic civilization.

In the battle between two cosmic civilizations, basically all battles will take place in space.

In space, it is the mecha power of both sides that determines the outcome.

Mechas can move flexibly in the universe, which is far more powerful than a heavy spaceship.

It can be said that a real mecha can single out a space battleship. From this point, we can see the importance of mecha.

If a cosmic civilization does not have its own mech, then this civilization will be attacked by other civilizations at any time.

The universe is not a peaceful place, it is full of conflicts of all kinds at any time.

So if human civilization wants to make a difference in the universe in the future, alpha crystal is the most important material.

The luckiest thing about human civilization right now is that there is even a rare substance like Alpha Crystal in its original star system.

It can be said that because of this, human beings have avoided many detours, and future development will be completely smooth.

Even if there are few alpha crystals on Neptune, Ye Su is quite satisfied with this discovery.

Because of an Alpha Engine, very few Alpha Crystals are needed.

In other words, it doesn't take much Alpha Crystal to make a real mecha.

As long as there is a small Alpha crystal on Neptune, it is enough for Ye Su to create a mecha unit.

With the protection of this mecha force, mankind will not be afraid of encountering other cosmic civilizations in the future.

In the end, the results of the detailed detection above, far exceeded Ye Su's expectations.

Because the number of Alpha Crystals discovered this time far met Ye Su's needs.

Originally, Ye Su only needed dozens of kilograms of Alpha Crystals, which was enough to satisfy him.

Dozens of kilograms of Alpha crystals are enough for Ye Su to make thousands of mechas.

Thousands of mechas are enough for a cosmic civilization to protect its own safety.

As a result, the alpha crystals found on Neptune this time weighed several tons.

Alpha crystals weighing a few tons can already produce hundreds of thousands of mechas.

Regardless of the number of hundreds of thousands, it seems a bit small, which is nothing to the civilization of the universe.

But things like mechas are precious everywhere, and a cosmic civilization with a long history may not have so many mechas.

It is because of the scarcity of Alpha crystals that mechas are so rare.

The general cosmic civilization is pretty good if you have tens of thousands of mechas.

Now Ye Su has discovered the Alpha Crystals enough to make hundreds of thousands of mechas, and human civilization will no longer have to worry about this rare substance in the future.
