Sitting in the carriage, feeling the bumps on the road, Todd glanced at Wayne, who was holding the documents, and said, "You said that the biggest problem with alien weapons has been solved. What exactly do you mean?"
Wayne scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the actual combat results of the first alien warship, we have summarized some shortcomings. The first and most important issue is that during the combat, the keel parasite will extract a large amount of nutrients from the host.
And then cause serious harm to the host."
Todd nodded: "Keel parasites, the nutrients for all actions come from parasites. If it is only the size of a keel armor, it is nothing... But a warship with a length of tens of meters, its steering,
A series of actions such as parking, repair, and advancement require a large amount of nutrients to be extracted, which is a disaster for the parasitized host."
"That's right, human beings' weak bodies are simply not enough to provide nutrients for large alien weapons. I have done repeated experiments and found that a strong adult man, with normal nutrition, can only support an alien warship for forty-five minutes.
Wartime consumption... Moreover, the alien warship we have now is only about 20 meters long. According to the tonnage, it can only be regarded as a fishing boat at best. "
Hearing this, Todd frowned. He clearly understood that the "experiments" Wayne mentioned were death experiments conducted on death row prisoners and prisoners of war. Some of the humans arrested during the rebellion three years ago were forged.
After the deaths were recorded, the veterinarian in front of him used extremely inhumane methods to test and develop exotic weapons as consumables.
"Initially, regarding the issue of energy consumption of alien weapons, I designed a large bioenergy cabin on the alien warship." Wayne made a rectangular shape with his hands: "A specially designed cabin is used to store a large number of biological culture tanks.
, put the human bodies in deep sleep into the culture tank, and then pierce the mouthparts of the dragon bone parasite into their bodies. In this way, these people become the energy source of the alien weapons and can continuously provide energy for the alien weapons.
.”
Wayne touched his chin, as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "During non-war periods, the internal circulation system of these humanoid energy bodies can fully meet the daily consumption of alien weapons; during the war, due to the enhanced activity of the keel parasites,
As the consumption increases, these humanoid energy bodies will be overextracted of nutrients and eventually turn into mummies that can no longer be used. At the end of the war, the alien warships will dock for supplies, clean out all these mummies, and then re-inject new human bodies."
Not noticing Todd's increasingly darker complexion, Wayne continued: "Originally I was very optimistic about this method, but after actual operation, I discovered a problem... using humans to produce bioenergy
, the cost is too high, and exotic weapons cannot be mass-produced on a large scale."
"I have made an assumption that if a 137-meter-long alien destroyer is built, in order to maintain the maximum consumption during the war, it must carry at least 87 human energy bodies with standard physiques. Moreover, this group of energy bodies must not exceed
It can only last three hours."
"According to this consumption method, a small-scale naval battle would require draining the nutrients from the bodies of seven hundred adults. In the long run, no country, no matter how big, can support this kind of consumption."
Todd coughed heavily and said in a deep voice with an ugly face: "Using humans as energy sources for alien weapons is prohibited from doing such experiments in the future!"
Wayne, who was immersed in the xenogeneic experiment, did not hear the strangeness in Todd's mouth at all. The former continued excitedly: "As hosts, humans themselves are not suitable for carrying xenogeneic weapons. Their bodies are incompatible with dragon bone parasites."
There is a way to satisfy the latter's appetite. So...I set my sights on the Crusaders..."
Hearing Wayne's words, Todd opened his eyes angrily, and his whole body began to grow rapidly. Thin dragon scales grew on his skin, and traces of flames appeared on the corners of his mouth. A pair of dragon wings were rags behind his back.
And out.
The entire carriage instantly exploded into a pile of scrap metal as Todd's body expanded.
"Asshole! Are you using the followers of the Crusaders for xenogeneic experiments?!" Todd, who transformed into a dragon, glared at the humans in front of him and shouted loudly: "Who gave you the power?!
Who gave you the courage?!"
Looking at the increasingly larger dragon in front of him, Wayne Dunlop instantly understood the other party's anger and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not what you think! I don't regard the Crusaders as alien weapons.
energy body, and I have abandoned the plan of the bioenergy cabin..."
After hearing Wayne's self-defense, Todd stopped his body from changing, stared at Wayne with his dark golden dragon eyes, and growled: "Keep talking!"
"Although the physical condition of the Crusaders is far stronger than that of humans, if they are used as energy sources for alien weapons, they still cannot meet the needs of large weapons!"
Wayne hurriedly pulled out a piece of paper from the scattered documents, put it in front of Todd, and said hurriedly: "Through the soul totem, I went to the library of the Heavenly Kingdom Research Institute, and found the alien weapon energy in it.
solutions provided.”
Todd lowered his head and looked at the pattern on the paper, which showed an exploded view of a battleship.
Wayne said loudly at this time: "What should we do if the energy consumption of a large alien warship is too high and the cost of action is too high? It is very simple. Just divide the warship into countless modules that can be freely spliced together."
Todd was stunned: "Module?"
"Yes! For example, a large alien warship can be divided into many functional areas, such as weapon area, thruster area, steering area, ship armor area, etc., and each area can be further subdivided into more
Small modules, such as the propeller area, can be subdivided into propeller module No. 1, propeller module No. 2, bearing module No. 1, bearing module No. 2, etc."
Wayne pointed at the hundreds of small modules on the exploded view of the battleship and explained: "Each module is composed of a tyrant keel parasite. Each keel parasite transforms into the corresponding one according to the function of its respective module.
Shape. For example, the propeller module, the keel deforms into the shape of a propeller. Another example is the ship armor module, the keel deforms into a piece of ship armor."
Todd asked while thinking: "So, how to link and combine the modules?"
Wayne opened the five fingers of his hands and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the skeleton of the keel parasite has a nervous system, and two adjacent keel parasites can be connected to each other through connections.
The nervous system allows commands and signals to be continuously transmitted through all the keels like water flow."
"In this way, as long as a huge alien warship is divided into hundreds or thousands of small modules, each module is composed of a keel parasite. In this way, the host of each keel parasite will bear
The pressure of nutrient extraction will be greatly reduced.”
Wade explained: "The Crusaders I mentioned before, I hope to arrange them into some modules that consume a lot of money. For example, propellers, weapons, ship armor modules, the nutrients they need to extract during the war, ordinary humans
It is unbearable. Only a few foreign races in the Crusaders can assume the position of host, such as orcs and tauren..."
After listening to Wayne's explanation, Todd closed his eyes and slowly returned from dragon form to human form. Then he opened his eyes and looked at the coachmen and guards who were kneeling on the ground, not even daring to breathe, and said calmly: "
It’s okay, let’s all get up.”
Todd took the robe handed to him by the servant, put it on his body, looked at Wayne, and said calmly: "About the modular solution for exotic weapons, let's talk as we walk."
