Dragon Cub's Bizarre Adventure

"Ah...you summed it up very well" means that. Of course, the implementation is much more complicated than adding a car shell to the tricycle, but at least it is not so difficult.

"I remember there were only 5 people in the Glion class, right?

Zhong Yinnai

Heart

"But the long axis of the cruiser is about 650 meters, and the Glion class is only 68 meters"

"It's ten times bigger," the engineer said nonchalantly, "Anyway, it's just a shell, at most it will slow down the normal speed, maybe it will have a miraculous effect." That is, it looks like a cruiser, but in fact it is 90% empty. , whatever you want.

"That's right. In this way, the kinetic energy shield only needs to protect the core area, and the protection of the shield can be improved."

"Well, that shield conflicts with our stagnation force field, but it can be used as a substitute for the stagnation force field, but our ship is too big." A larger spaceship needs a larger mass effect core to drive , and the larger the mass effect core, the more complex control nodes are required, so the size and structure of the spacecraft here are limited.

And dead space doesn't fly with mass repeaters and mass effect, so there's no such problem, "We stretch out a Glion class and equip it with our reactors and impact point engines, and of course, the cruiser Let's study the Mass Effect core on the Internet and see how to install it. If it doesn't work, we have to leave it. JJ

"What about the main gun?"

"That's the simplest" The premise is that the whole migration will be fine without solving the problems of gun sight and fire control.

"And, to be honest, that main gun is not as easy to use as our kinetic fragmentation gun." Direct gravitational tearing impact is better than anything else, and in this world it is simply a shield to kill.

The principle of the so-called kinetic energy barrier shield is very simple, it is a mass effect field, which reduces the mass of the incoming projectile, and because the mass is converted into a net charge, it is bounced or deflected by electromagnetic field interaction.

Since the reduced mass will be transferred to the core charge, the shield capacitor will soon be overloaded, and a part of the charge will be released as heat energy. When the heat tank is full, it must start to dissipate heat and release excess charge, forming a spectacular formation in the universe. arc grid.

The mass of the projectile ejected from the mass effect field returns to normal, and the deficient energy acts on the speed, and the instantaneous inertial speed is reduced to negligible, turning into harmless fragments floating around the target.

However, the kinetic energy fragmentation cannon and phase impact cannon on Xiaoxiao’s side don’t deal with this problem. They directly smear the boson agglomeration on the face. Except for the short range, the shield here is useless. Neutral, even if the quality is cut, it still does not suffer from electromagnetic deflection.

"However, we can still modify their main gun."

"Like?"

"Use our guided munitions" kinetic energy blasting bombs or arc-cutting bombs. It has to be said that this magic stick effect of reducing mass has given military engineers a lot of inspiration and ideas.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of ammunition is used for close-range defense and industrial use. Because there is no mass effect field, the force of the ejection electromagnetic field will instantly destroy the components in the ammunition, and the increase in the launch mass will cause the velocity of the chamber to decrease, making it difficult to obtain effective ammunition. range.

"Also, we can also try to make this kind of artillery and replace some of our weapons. Anyway, the range of the fragmentation cannon is too short." That's the limit range of 3 kilometers, and the local light second It is estimated that the warships with a super-range range will be bald when they shoot at each other.

As for the pulse turrets and rapid-fire turrets at all levels, they only have an emergency range ranging from a few thousand to a few hundred kilometers. After all, there has been no war in Dead Space for centuries, and the human weapon system has not made any progress at all. Even on the contrary, it is not as powerful and easy to use as industrial equipment.

"Just do it like this, how long will the construction period take?"

"If you don't change your weapon, one week is enough"

"If the weapon is changed, it will take about another week. The movement of our ship

They are stronger and more compact than them. For the tasks they need to do with a volume of 650 meters, our escort boats are enough. "Of course, this is based on not having to carry that huge Mass Effect core.

When Xiaoxiao took away the ship transformation, Shepard also entered the first battlefield, the battlefield of the Touareg mother star. The Reapers attacked the Touareg Empire, the largest military empire in the galaxy. of the siege.

The fleet of the Touaregs fought desperately, and the request of the Touaregs to help the Earth is that Shepard needs to help the Touaregs break out of the siege and save their general from the battlefield, and this is just the beginning.

In fact, he has many things to do, including using Normandy's cloaking technology to release pulse waves in the surrounding galaxies to attract the attention of the Reapers, disperse their forces, and allow the Touareg fleet and refugee fleet to be diverted.

During this process, those lost Touareg fleets and fleets were also summoned by the way to regroup their forces.

——The week passed quickly, and the engineers completed the transformation smoothly and ahead of schedule. On the surface, it looked like a Touareg cruiser, but in fact, it was a Glion-class escort boat, capable of firing four rounds per minute. Speed ​​to paste kinetic energy blasting bombs or kinetic energy impact bombs on the enemy's face. Of course, it is no problem to replace kinetic energy weapons with ion cutting cannons or particle arc linear cannons.

"The combat performance has dropped by 27%. However, due to the enlarged structure, we have added a few more auxiliary engines to supply power, and added a few more turrets to the shell. The firepower has increased by 45%. In general, this It’s better not to do things that don’t pay off.”

"Why do you have to look like this?" This is what everyone is curious about.

"For serious reasons, we need a warship that looks like a local and has the proper status to intervene in something"

Irregular? "Zhaoxia asked curiously.

"It's not serious, because it looks handsome!" The new star is just a brick with fish bones, it's simple to the extreme, and the mass effect Touareg cruiser and human dreadnought are much more handsome.

"Why do you want to intervene in the affairs of the local people?" This is the confusion from the engineers and crew.

"Because it's very simple. The world here is about to die. Instead of fighting the monsters that occupy the entire galaxy when we go back, we might as well help the locals."

If new stars are not considered, it is much easier to go back a little bit, but if you want to bring the loot, you have to jump back from station to station. In a few weeks, fix Wanxiang Fengyin and leave

O

However, Mass Effect is a bit troublesome or complicated here.

"And my dragon soul needs to be restored." The continuous dead magic area and the chaotic area, the little dragon soul is in a rather weak state, and now the persona is a bit unstable.

Moreover, the dragon's body and soul still need further time to combine. In this place full of magic power of order, it is very suitable for healing. The only problem is the local artificial mental retardation.

"Get ready to jump at the impact point, let's go back to the Citadel and buy star maps" There are a large number of exploration companies in the Citadel selling various star maps, including public and non-public ones, and Xiaoxiao needs to buy these star maps, of course , also need to purchase a large amount of supplies and materials

O

"Haven't we run out of money?"

"Are you guys stupid?" Xiaoxiao looked at them with hatred, "We can use the spaceship as a mortgage."

"But..." But if it's a loan, doesn't it have to be repaid?

"But what? Can they ask us to pay back the money?"

"Don't you have to pay back the borrowed money?" Zhaoxia complained.

"But the money I borrowed has turned into shipyards and warships, oh, and there are krogan mercenaries, so why do I have to pay back the money?" Dragon economics, which is more advanced than the almighty doctrine of cyan things— — An upgraded version of Meyer's economics.

The new star came to the Citadel again. This time, it still brought a lot of minerals, which helped the locals. After all, all races are crazy about building, minerals and various finished products. The price of finished products is skyrocketing.

As for where these ores come from... Well, anyway, there are many mining planets marked on the star map, and they dug a shovel, really, just a shovel, about the size of Australia.

[The mining and refining capabilities of new stars and spacecraft of the same level in the setting of dead space are to process about 2 per thousand of the mass of the earth every month. 】

Mainly refining zero elements, highly compressed dense rare metal ingots, etc. As for conventional ores such as copper and iron, they are directly lost, and the spaceship has limited cargo capacity and cannot carry them.

Chapter 130 Just dig a spoonful, just a spoonful!

Chapter 130

In this time of war and chaos in the galaxy, is it possible to find a bank to borrow money?The answer is yes, even many, the most typical of which are Salary and Waller financiers. Compared with the latter, the former is not worthy of carrying shoes. , and even put part of the financial information and funds into preparations for the war. [Small branch of the castle]

At this time, the Waller people still insist on asking for patent fees and interest. They want money and don't die. As a vassal race of the Touareg, their battleships and fleets are completely appendages of the Touareg, and the only thing they can hold in their hands is money. .

Its representative work is Starlink's XM8 Avenger assault rifle, an assault rifle whose cost price can be lowered to less than 20 star coins. It claims that all parts can be found in various household appliances. It is a model that still insists on collecting patent fees and design fees in this era and refuses to open source.

In any case, the technology of light weapons on the Mass Effect side is very developed, whether it is shape, style, power or technical ability, it is very good, at least much better than the light weapons on the side of Dead Space - not as good as the rifle of the industrial cutter. I lost my adult.

Xiaoxiao is planning to purchase a batch of improved firearms and blueprints, which requires a considerable amount of funds, and for the funds, it is better to ask the Waller for a loan.

"Hush? In principle, we agree to your request to use this super-large industrial ship as a mortgage, but we need to know its performance and value as well as legal procedures." The Waller banker checked the documents in his hand, and Based on the initial valuation of the collateral, they believe that the other party has the ability to repay the debt.

Don’t think that you can get a bank loan just by making up a reason. If you want to play Meyer economics, there are prerequisites. The risk assessment of the bank should not be too high, and the other party thinks that you

Have enough ability to repay the loan and will not default. As for the collateral, it is the last move of the bank. They generally try to avoid getting the collateral—because they have to find a way to sell it to realize it.

Therefore, in reality, Meyer economics is difficult to really realize, because your high-risk behavior and collateral are enough for the bank to set a huge risk assessment value for you, and you will not be able to borrow money or borrow at all. Get enough money to pay off.

However, it is a little different. Her new star has sold two batches of minerals in the Castle of God. According to the total amount of ore, Waller Bank has very quickly done a risk assessment and cash flow assessment for this possible large customer. I think that although she is doing the most unprofitable raw material business, considering the current state of war, the galaxy's huge demand for primary raw material products and the ship's mining capacity estimated at the interval between two mining

O

Without involving its operating costs, Waller's bankers generally believe that it is profitable, and the other party has sufficient repayment ability. If Xiaoxiao exposes the cracking star mining ability and even digs a large zero element ore, Then it was time for these bankers to come to her door and ask her to borrow money.

"Well, give him" Xiaoxiao said hello, and the list of industrial capabilities of the new star after localization processing was placed on the table. The main gun was described as mining engineering equipment, and various secondary guns and missiles were also called It is a miner's device, although they do have this function included.

"14 trillion tons of minerals per month... well, it's an exaggerated figure, but it's roughly the same as the information we have..." In fact, it's not quite the same. This is to use the hangar as a mine storage compartment The actual mining and refining capacity is almost the same if the unit of ton is replaced by the unit of "ton".

"We need to send a commissioner to witness a mineral collection operation." Banker Waller finally decided to seize this opportunity, but they need to send an assessment commissioner to board the ship and inspect the ship's configuration. After all, these days, the times In the development, people and means of defrauding money are emerging in an endless stream, and banks will naturally become more cautious in lending.

Heavy and careful up.

The Galaxy is so big, even if there is no Meyer economics, it is very difficult to deal with people who absconded with money, and the cost of finding someone is usually more than the money he borrowed.

"Yes, we allow you to board the ship, but you are not allowed to enter non-designated cabins

, otherwise we will think that you are spying on our business secrets"

"Yes." The Waller discussed it for a while and found it acceptable. If there is no problem, the loan is indeed profitable, and the other party is also someone who can afford it.

"If there is no problem, the total loan amount of 30 billion stars in 15 years, with an annual interest rate of 6%, because the time you want is too long." Banks in the human era did not have such a long loan period, five years The above is an extremely long repayment period.

However, because there are people like Asari here, among other things, their student loans start at 20 years, and buying a house in Ilim with a mortgage is also done in units of centuries—so, other If banks of different races want to do business with 0-K Sali people, this kind of ultra-long-term loan business must be done.

[It takes almost 200 years for Asari to reach adulthood, so their loan business is really a century-level start—Liyara complained about this matter]

An average of 5000 million yuan in loans per year is already quite favorable for Xiaoxiao's current application amount, and her way of doing this also makes the Waller people think that this guy should not default on repaying the debt, because it is not a one-time payment , but issued year by year, normal people will not give up directly for 5000 million star coins, and then receive loans totaling more than 14 billion star coins every year.

And the premise of this normal person is that he does not know the actual time that the galactic civilization circle and its currency can last, but for Xiaoxiao, of course, it is a set-pen and run, can the Milky Way survive for 30 years? Years are hard to say.

And she is also going to repay the interest, don't even think about the principal, the interest of 300 million is still possible, dig a little mine, and the whole loot should be able to repay it, and as long as you can repay the interest stably and see the income, then In the second year, the bank will honestly transfer the 5000 million star coins for the second year.

Of course, the reason for the small loan is to expand production. Banker Waller also thinks that there is nothing wrong with her business plan. At this time, the entire galaxy is undergoing major construction and is preparing for war. What are you waiting for?

The Shrike Abyss, the Yincha galaxy, and the planet Dao Bane, this is an terrestrial planet with an orbital distance of 0.7AU, a revolution period of 0.9 years, and a rotation of 70 hours. Because there is no atmosphere, the surface temperature is average Above 94 degrees, the gravity is 1.5 times that of the earth, considering that its volume is only twice that of the earth, so the average density deviates from O

This means that it has a large amount of heavy metal mineral components. In the past, the Waller people have carried out large-scale mining of it through remote mining machines. Not only that, many races have dug mines here, and the main mineral output is "uranium." Mine"O

The shell is rich in uranium, which will produce large-scale radioactive dust due to wind erosion storms. Its mining history is as long as 5 years. However, as the easy-to-mine minerals are collected, many mining stations are closed due to technical reasons at the operational level. give up.

This place does not belong to any race. It belongs to the public mining area. The Waller people gave up here a long time ago because the mining cost was too high. With the easy-to-mining enriched uranium ore depleted, and the blockade of the fragmented troops of the Reapers, As a result, there is no economic value here.

"Huh? Hiss" the respirator made a dull sound, "I think we are here to witness your space mining capabilities, not ground mining capabilities. The rapid deployment of mining stations can only prove that your spaceships have strong deployment capabilities, but It's not the mining ability o" The Waller observer asked in confusion, while the hired Salari engineer expressed another level of confusion with rapid speech.

"The caliber of your ore crushing gun is too large, which obviously does not meet the requirements. You will

If you smash a small meteorite, the fragments will spread rapidly in the universe. No, are you planning to bombard the ground?In that case, the caliber is too large and the multiple diameter is too short, it is difficult to obtain enough power to shatter the veins, and the Milky Way Convention requires that such powerful mass weapons must not be used to fire on planets.”

Because it will seriously damage the geological structure of the planet, thereby reducing the actual number of exploitable planets, it belongs to one of the constraints of the Saxon Treaty, which prohibits the deployment of weapons of mass destruction. Of course, nuclear bombs are not weapons of mass destruction, but mass effect main guns are. .

Of course, in theory, the Nova Kinetic Energy Ripper is also a weapon of mass destruction, but it is separately staged with 12 sets of gravity locks. A single set is considered to be some kind of high-power mining traction equipment, and It is also true that asteroids can be captured for collection.

That's right, Mass Effect mineships can't even mine asteroids directly, they all need to build asteroid mining stations (such as Omega) to dig and collect

O

The space ores they can handle refer to those meteorites in the asteroid belt and those with a diameter of less than 100 meters, while the new star and Ishimura-class AD-AGS anti-asteroid anti-aircraft defense Phalanx automatic artillery o...is a real o anti-planetary artillery fire , the kind that can blow up kilometer-level asteroids.

Obviously, even the smaller ADS anti-asteroid system automatic artillery is a powerful thing. Of course, compared with the mass effect naval gun, it looks stubby.

I have to say that Dead Space's individual weapons and spaceship design are a piece of shit, but the shipboard weapons are really handsome, full of deterrence and roughness.

Therefore, its ore crushing device is not registered as a weapon in the Citadel, and naturally it is not included in the content of the Saxon Treaty. However, Xiaoxiao feels that the parliament will definitely add the new star to the scope of the Saxon Treaty soon, and then the Star Alliance and Xue Pade will definitely come to him on his own initiative—humans need every spaceship that can be used, but the new star registered as an industrial ship may be the most capable spaceship for human beings.

We are mining space, but for planets
