Chapter 367: Chapter 368 Plagiarism

Unconsciously, the flying car Huo Gu was in actually broke away from the mother ship and went to the outside of the mother ship.

Without paying attention to Hogu's sight, Amanda signaled Hogu to be calm and calm, which was also part of the battle area. The flying car approached the outer armor of the mother ship under the drive of Amanda.

Here you can see that every other distance, you can see a 'small cannon' with a caliber of about 6.5m.

"These are X-OMG pulse beams with a caliber of 100C, which are close-defense guns. The original design is to defend against physical weapons. Combined with vibration armor, physical weapons are difficult to exert enough lethality as long as the initial speed is not fast enough." But now this pulse beam is gradually withdrawing from the design layout of the mother ship.

While introducing, Amanda showed regret, looking at these 'small cannons' as if she were looking at the heroes of late.

"Why?" Any weapon has its own role. Since it is retired, it means that there is no role for this weapon on the battlefield, or there are better weapons to replace this old-style weapon.

The first shows that the Selin people's mode of war has changed, and the second shows that the Selin people have prepared more dangerous weapons. Either way, it is not good news.

Therefore, Huo Gu became alert.

Amanda didn't notice Huo Gu's thoughts, and she explained the reason.

"Because the ship designers of the empire found that today's live ammunition weapons are basically sublight speed, and in such a large-scale environment as the cosmic battlefield, laser weapons are basically used to attack opponents." As a result, these close-aircraft guns can only defend against physical weapons that are below sublight speed, such as explosion, or clean up space garbage near the mother ship. Therefore, in the eyes of some people, the energy supplied to the near-aircraft guns is actually a waste. Instead of installing near-aircraft pulses, it is better to install a few more large-caliber main guns.

"This kind of pulse gun is small in size and should consume very low energy. There should be no need to be evaluated like this."

Huo Gu was puzzled and deliberately guided the topic.

"That's because you ignored the number of close-proof pulses. The volume of the mother ship is very large, so the number of close-proof pulses must be enough to ensure all-round interception. In this way, the overall energy consumption is actually not low."

"And after seeing some of the technical applications of Amoeba, the Empire also began to have some imitation designs, which accelerated the retirement of the close defense guns."

"Imitate?"

Huo Gu was obviously stunned. This strangeness was even so big that it was noticed by Amanda, an unintentional person.

However, Amanda didn't think too much. She just thought that Hogu was very interested in this aspect, so she paid attention to it.

"Please follow me. I know you must be very interested in it."

"Isn't this an anchorage area?" Huo Gu asked.

Amanda led Hogu to a rather empty place. At a glance, the purpose was a large number of aircraft. These aircraft were the same size as that of the autonomous ships, and the shape was similar, or they added some other appearance structures on the basis of the original autonomous ships.

Amanda explained Hogu's questions and introduced the place by the way.

"No, although there are many flying units anchored here, it is divided into a combat zone, because these units cannot achieve deep space voyages."

"After seeing those mothership creatures and using the spiral arrays realized by small units, the designers of the Empire also fully learned from them and designed this kind of close-defense drone."

"Its functions and those small creatures around the mother ship are similar. They are all high-speed objects that defend themselves close to their mother ship and have built-in thermal ray weapons. Although the power of a single ship is not high, multiple ships gather fire together, which is enough to vaporize a considerable amount of large quantities of entities immediately. In addition, the design ideas of autonomous ships are added. If the distance is enough These drones can also be used as a short-range autonomous ship to charge the enemy ship.

"Wait, such a small volume, after installing the laser cannon, there is enough energy to support the vibration armor?"

Huo Gu remembers that the energy required to maintain the vibrating armor is very high.

While maintaining high speed, the autonomous ship also needs to maintain vibration armor, which is already quite reluctant, and there is no extra energy to supply the laser cannon.Is it the progress in energy technology? - Huo Gu secretly guessed in his heart.

But soon, Huo Gu's guess was dispelled by Amanda.

"No, this is just a strategic choice, limited by energy. When the drone is a gunboat, the vibration armor cannot be used. When it is an autonomous ship, the thermal ray laser cannot be used, and this conversion is not completed immediately. It needs to wait for a period of time. After all, the gunboat and the autonomous ship are completely different types. A type of ship."

This is Huo Gu's intuitive feeling. If it is an epoch-making progress in energy technology, then Huo Gu can have it, because it will lead to a series of chain progress.

"Even so, it's very powerful... So the key reason for the gradual decline of the close-defense guns is that there are mother ship drones that can replace them and play a more role in the battlefield, right?"

Amanda nodded.

"That's it."

"The mother ship is now equipped with a special unmanned salvage ship. Because it is a non-combat unit, it belongs to the anchorage area. The wreckage of the drones in the space around the mother ship is brought back to the mother ship for reconstruction. Soon, new drones will be re-entered on the battlefield. Thanks to these two new units, the spiral array is exciting. The defense performance of light has been further improved.

"Oh, by the way, there are many more techniques to learn from Amoeba. Please follow me."

Introducing the technological creations derived from plagiarism from the amoeba to technical ideas, Amanda is still not satisfied, and she continues to lead Huo Gu to see other things.

"This is the inner armor structure layer. The design structure of the mother ship class did not exist before. After seeing the technology of Amoeba that allows combat units to quickly regenerate, the imperial designers are considering whether they can use the existing technology to achieve the same effect, and then they designed this inner armor structure layer."

"...What's the function of this thing?"

Huo Gu has more or less guessed what the role is, but on the surface, he still pretends not to be clear.

"It's role of regeneration. After deformation is caused by external forces, it will spontaneously restore the original structure, thus simulating the bioregeneration technology of Amoeba."

"Its principle is also very simple, that is, so that nanomachines can always get a layout instruction. Therefore, after the deformation of the inner armor, the nanomachines that make up the inner armor by will actively move to their original position."

"In terms of performance, the effect of internal armor is better than cell regeneration, because nanomechanics are more patient in resisting high-energy rays, but cells need to worry about high-energy rays destroying the expression of the gene chain, which will lead to the disappearance of self-replication ability."

"Well..."

Don't you open your own brains and come to plagiarize my design ideas?! Then who should I plagiarize! - Huo Gu's heart is blocked.

"And this... Let me tell you... The empire has learned a lot from the amoeba..."

...

"Fir, allow the messengers of Amoeba to visit the mother ship, even in order to cater to the current situation, is this really appropriate?"

In the empire, some of the upper-ranking officials of the empire asked the head of state.

"What's the problem? It's too late to change what has been promised and is on.

"Do you want the empire to lose credibility?"

The head of state asked calmly.

"You once said that trust does not exist between countries, and only interests are eternal. This is still valid at the level of civilization, at least for now."

"Let this Amoeba envoy visit the mother ship, which means that many new technologies in the empire will be exposed to Amoeba."

"If one of you is unarmed and clear, which one of you will take the initiative to attack a fierce beast?" The head of state asked rhetorical.

"No."

The head of state continued.

"If you don't know, what about that creature as a fierce beast? It looks docile and cute, and you happen to be a little hungry at this time." ..."

"Don't think too much. The mother ship will look at it. Anyway, it will be eliminated."
