Chapter 215: Guidance Theory
Fan Ren did not care about the arrival of the combat formation led by the Small Aircraft Carrier Flagship from the Hans Civilization.
After all, it took a long 90 years from their departure to arriving in the Solar System.
And this 90 years’ time had long exceeded the time outside of the series of plans he had proposed.
In the Xinghai Electromagnetic Wave Research Laboratory.
“A super-large electromagnetic wave transmitter, using this method to locate coordinates, and determining the key through the quantum entanglement effect, thereby confirming the safety of the jump location.
This is the principle of the induction generation device.
The intensity of the electromagnetic waves burst out by this device must be great; otherwise, it cannot be received by the target ship, making it impossible to clarify the coordinates and perform space jump.
But unfortunately, I do not know the jump principle, which involves space science, currently mastered only by the Five Great Super Civilizations.”
Fox spoke eloquently in front of Fan Ren and a group of scientists, but unfortunately, his expression became a bit embarrassed by the end.
Hearing this, Fan Ren frowned; after all that talk, he only knew the most straightforward principle of the induction generation device.
Fox saw Fan Ren’s somewhat unkind gaze and subconsciously shrank back, but when the back of his head bumped into the dark muzzle of the electromagnetic rifle in Dan Wu’s hand, the fur all over his body immediately bristled.
“Hear me out, this is no problem. Although you cannot build a space jump engine, you have a Titan Warship in your hands. In a certain sense, having it is the same.”
“How so?” Fan Ren’s frown eased slightly.
According to A’dai, in the 56 years’ time, the development of various functions on the Conqueror has now progressed less than 10%.
Many functions, let alone whether they could be used, their very existence was unknown.
For example, Fox’s next words gave him a huge shock.
“Titan, and Super Aircraft Carrier Flagship such ships, besides having enormous hulls themselves, another criterion for evaluating them is: whether they possess ultra-long-range delivery capability.”
Fox glanced around and saw the humans on site once again become as quiet as primary school students in class, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
“What is called ultra-long-range delivery capability?
That is, the ability to continuously construct space jump channels, allowing other substances, spaceships, and so on to pass through this channel to the location of the induction generation device.
Obviously, space jump requires enormous energy, and similarly, constructing a jump channel requires an enormous energy source.
This is also why ships with this capability currently only the Titan and the Super Aircraft Carrier itself possess.
And the small aircraft carrier from the Hans Civilization heading to the Solar System certainly does not have this capability.
In a certain sense, this small aircraft carrier is a small flagship built for providing wide-area air defense tasks.
Generally, such ships carry a large number of small carrier-based aircraft, which usually have super high speed capability and absolute advantage in air defense against small spaceships.
Oh right, because the space jump engine takes up enormous space, currently only flagship-level spaceships have the capability for space jump; for example, our previous Dreadnought, a large portion of whose space was occupied by the fuel tank and the space jump engine.”
Fan Ren finished listening and exchanged a glance with the scientists present, but unfortunately, involving space combat theory, these scientists knew nothing about it; their familiar expertise was in the electromagnetic signal domain.
However, he did not mind these things and did not mind these scientists being present, instead asking: “You mean, our Conqueror has a device that can construct space jump channels, and after activation, it can deliver spaceships to the star domain with the induction device, is that the meaning?”
Fox nodded.
“A’dai, next you focus on exploring this capability of the Conqueror, and be quick.”
“Got it, Boss.”
Every time Fox saw this human communicating with that electronic life, he felt an uncontrollable tension in his heart.
The cleansing operation would not care whether he was from an alien civilization; it was a thorough elimination of the planetary system where a civilization was located.
Fan Ren saw Fox’s expression and smiled indifferently: “No need to worry, A’dai will gradually withdraw from the human industry domain afterward.”
Regarding considerations for A’dai’s existence, Fan Ren had already made plans.
Since the Galactic Alliance strictly prohibits the existence of silicon-based life, for human civilization to safely enter the Galactic Alliance’s view, A’dai must hide.
Only at this time did he deeply understand why basic minerals had become the shackles restricting the development of various civilizations.
This requires a large population; excessive investment of human resources in this aspect will inevitably affect the normal development of scientific research.
And basic minerals, as stable circulating substances in the galaxy, have in a certain sense become products that every civilization must vigorously collect.
He pulled back his wandering thoughts and instructed the surrounding scientists, requiring them to quickly come up with a solution for a high-power electromagnetic signal induction generation device.
Then, bringing Fox along, he returned all the way to the Conqueror, which was once again surrounded by the ‘outer shell’ of the laboratory building.
“Liquid metallic hydrogen, as a precious fuel existing on gas giant planets in high-pressure environments, not only provides power for spaceships, but the fuel needed for space warp drive also requires it.”
Fox explained beside him, but his expression was extremely envious as he looked at the internal space of this Titan-class Battleship.
This was the first time he had seen a real Titan-class Battleship.
In the war long ago between the Sirius Civilization and the Fox Civilization, it had originally entered a protracted war of attrition with the Sirius Civilization, but unfortunately in the end, the Sirius Civilization went all-in, somehow at what cost purchasing a Titan-class Battleship on the Starfield Market.
It was precisely the appearance of that Titan-class Battleship that had an absolute impact on the direction of the war’s outcome.
Leading to the extinction of the Fox Civilization.
From this, the strategic role of the Titan-class Battleship is evident.
Whether it is the doomsday weapon it possesses that can destroy planets, or its ability to deliver a fleet across space to the battlefield, both are capabilities with enormous impact on conventional war.
“Precisely because of this, although liquid metallic hydrogen has widespread uses in the Galactic Alliance and exists in large quantities in every star system, due to the enormous difficulty of extraction, this fuel is extremely expensive in price.”
Fan Ren was walking ahead and paused involuntarily upon hearing Fox’s words.
“Enormous extraction difficulty? How so?”
Hearing this, Fox was surprised, but his mind turned very quickly, immediately thinking of something, his eyes widening round, staring at the human in front of him in shock and murmuring:
“You… you wouldn’t use it to mine and transport liquid metallic hydrogen, would you?”
He pointed at the spaceship, and Fan Ren nodded noncommittally.
