While Li Ruobai was busy underground, Chu Jungui was repeatedly verifying the newly developed high-energy beam crystal in the laboratory.
This crystal is made of a variety of materials mixed in strict proportions, and then subjected to multiple high-temperature and high-pressure treatments to finally achieve crystallization. The preparation process requires a large amount of energy, and it must be processed continuously for 24 hours with an energy supply of 10 million kilowatts to obtain a piece of football.
size crystals.
Chu Jungui held a piece of crystal that had just been prepared in his hand, constantly switching his field of view to observe repeatedly. The surface of the crystal showed irregular cross-sections, and the interior was somewhat chaotic. Large flakes could be seen. In terms of accuracy, it still had a lot of accuracy.
There is a lot of room for improvement. After cutting such a large crystal, it can output a high-energy beam with a power of 500,000 kilowatts, which is roughly equivalent to the secondary gun of a destroyer.
To be honest, Alpha crystals are still quite primitive, and the data in all aspects are mediocre. The technical indicators are about the same as those 300 years ago. Even some of the larger star thieves do not look down on beam cannons made of Alpha crystals. And Alpha crystals
Since a large amount of biological organic matter materials are used, purity control becomes quite difficult. Not only is there a large amount of floc inside, but the distribution of the floc is also quite random, which means that the quality of the crystals will be uneven, and it is not ruled out that there will be
A lot of waste.
However, the so-called waste product does not mean that it cannot be used at all, but that the energy conversion index is not up to standard, or a large enough crystal cannot be cut, resulting in insufficient output power.
The advantages of the Alpha crystal are also very obvious, that is, it is durable and well adapted to the specific environment of Planet 4. The penetration and exhaustion rate of the beam it excites in the atmosphere are far superior to the standard beam cannon. In addition,
It can withstand long-term continuous excitation, and the continuous excitation time can reach 3 minutes, which is several times that of ordinary beam cannons.
Although Chu Jungui is not short of weapons at this moment, the supporting ammunition for these weapons is quite limited. Apart from anything else, as long as he fights a few more battles, Chu Jungui will have to rest all four light cruiser guns.
vegetable.
Although the Alpha crystal is primitive and crude, it is like a biochip and can bring Chu Jungui a unique advantage around Planet 4.
Chu Jungui, who was always worried about insufficient firepower, immediately began arranging the production of Alpha Crystal. At this moment, the total energy supply of Base 2 exceeded 80 million kilowatts, which if placed in the home star era, would have been equivalent to the power generation of the three largest hydropower stations.
Therefore, Chu Jungui has quite a lot of energy. Even if the refining furnace runs day and night, there will always be 10 to 20 million kilowatts of redundant energy supply.
Chu Jungui thought for a while and directly compressed part of the refining furnace's production capacity, freeing up 40 million kilowatts of energy and refining 4 alpha crystals at the same time. In this way, after one day, Chu Jungui will have 4 beam cannons in hand. Chu
Jun Gui did not plan to actually build 4 cannons, but adopted a simple and crude method of directly connecting the 4 cannons in parallel, thus turning into a beam cannon with 4 times the power, but the beam that was emitted was not one.
But 4 channels.
The power of this gun has exceeded 200, which is equivalent to the main gun of a frigate. Chu Jungui does not plan to move it onto the starship for the time being. Instead, he cleared a position on the roof of the base command building, built a gun mount, and equipped it with
A biological mastermind assisted in the control. It was not until the installation of this brand new alpha cannon that Chu Jungui felt a little sense of security.
The Alpha Beam Cannon is different from the fortress defense cannon installed by the Federation in the base. In terms of power, it is a pure naval gun, and it is not at the same level as the general fortress defense cannon. Even the Federation’s most advanced main battle vehicle, under the Alpha Beam
The person in front of the cannon can also be vaporized by one shot.
After the Alpha Beam Cannon was installed, Chu Jungui had someone make a target with an armor plate outside the fortress, but it was penetrated by a shot. The test subject was quite satisfied with the power of the Alpha Beam Cannon, so he stopped testing it and prepared to continue to expand production.
With the Alpha Cannon, the energy supply of the base began to be insufficient again, and Chu Jungui had to start a new round of power furnace production. At this moment, even the test subjects felt that they were trapped in a strange circle: if the materials were not enough, they would increase production, and if they increased production, they would
This leads to insufficient energy supply, and increasing energy supply will lead to insufficient supplies. This cycle repeats, just like adding more water and adding noodles, adding more noodles and adding water, and finally steaming a small mountain of steamed buns.
After arranging a new round of production, Chu Jungui suddenly felt a faint vibration under his feet. He immediately rushed to the command podium and turned on the scanning mode. The command podium showed that the source of the vibration came from outside the base, and gave the direction. Chu
Jun Gui walked to the window and looked out, and saw a group of tanks and load-carrying vehicles appearing in the distance, roaring towards the base.
This was a regular convoy coming from the Shadow of Doom to allocate materials and personnel between the two bases. It was just that the scale of today's convoy was exceptionally large. Only then did Chu Jungui remember that in addition to the laboratory that developed the Alpha Crystal, there were four other
All the key personnel in the laboratory requested to be transferred to work at Base No. 2.
Although Doomsday Shadow is the official base where Chu Jungui started his career, the living conditions there are really difficult to describe. Even if hundreds of mobile dormitories were seized after capturing Base 2 and all transported to Doomsday Shadow, it would only alleviate the original single living conditions.
The human dormitory now needs to accommodate 8 people.
So as soon as there is an opportunity, the scientists and researchers who are still in the shadow of doomsday want to move to Base 2. This time, almost all the laboratories have to be moved here, with nearly a thousand researchers moving together, and all kinds of research equipment and equipment.
Dozens of vehicles were loaded, plus personnel and chariots for escorts, forming a huge convoy of more than 200 vehicles, which drove into Base No. 2 in a mighty manner.
Chu Jungui also didn't expect that after he agreed to move, so many people would move here at once. He frowned slightly and began to reflect on whether his past practices were a little too inhumane.
However, if production is not squeezed to the limit, Chu Jungui is worried that the situation will collapse at a certain point due to insufficient production capacity and firepower. The test subjects have an almost instinctive intuition about danger, and they always feel that there is a huge shadow lurking in the dark.
Looking at him was full of malice.
Chu Jungui watched the convoy of chariots slowly enter the gate of the base, but he always felt that something was wrong. However, the scan results showed that everything was normal. Before entering the gate, the convoy members were also checked. They were all soldiers of the legion. So.
The memory of the test subject, he remembers everyone in the legion, there is no mistake.
But what exactly is wrong?
Chu Jungui frowned more and more tightly. Suddenly, his whole body was shaken, and he finally discovered the source of his uneasiness. The frequency of the vibrations he felt was different from that of the chariot convoy!
He immediately opened the communication channel and shouted: "Ruobai!"
There was no response on the communication channel, just noise.
