Fo You sent a signal flare.
After thinking for a few seconds, Xia Fan put the monument to Xia Chen into his Space Ring.
He didn't want Fo You to find the monument because the inscription clearly mentioned his name. As the public enemy of Cang Yue, anything related to the Heavenly Wings had to be handled carefully.
Xia Fan quickly rushed to the rear of the Divine Throne class. Finally, he saw the mark left by Fo You near the rear of the mothership. Following the mark, he found Fo You.
"I finally found it. There's still an energy supply here." Fo You said, "You're right. The Divine Throne class is indeed modular. Each module of the ship has a separate energy supply system. I've checked, and the fusion reactor seems to be able to start."
Xia Fan nodded and followed Fo You into the energy cabin where the reactor was located.
The Divine Throne class was like a building block, assembled by different modules.
Each module had its own energy device, air production system, lighting system, and so on.
The advantage of the modular design was that once the hull was attacked, the main energy cabin wouldn't be damaged and the entire ship would lose control.
There were 128 modules in the Divine Throne class. If one module was damaged, the whole ship could continue to operate as long as it was shut down.
There were four high-energy AP2000 fusion reactors. After Xia Fan checked them, he tried to start them. As a result, three of the reactors were successfully ignited and began to output energy.
For a warship, energy was the foundation of everything. After the energy supply was generated, the closed door could be opened and closed, the air system began to supply the cabin, and the lighting system was also lit. The artificial gravity prevented the people in the cabin from floating in weightlessness.
Xia Fan and Fo You took off their helmets, and they could finally breathe freely in the air-filled cabin.
"What's the next step?" Fo You sat on the ground and took out his favorite tea set from his Space Ring.
After the energy was restored, the kitchen could boil water and cook. The first thing he thought of was to make himself a cup of good tea. As expected of Little Master Buddha, Fo You had very high requirements for the quality of life.
Xia Fan smiled, but his smile looked a little strange to Fo You.
"Of course, we'll modify the Scourge, and then we'll leave here."
Fo You nodded. "That's good. I don't want to be trapped here."
Then, Xia Fan looked at Fo You and muttered, "But …"
"But what?"
"Actually, it's nothing. Didn't you always complain that the cabin is too small? There's no round bathtub or oversized bed with velvet?"
As soon as Fo You thought of his life on the Calamity, he felt wronged and said, "That's right. The living quarters have to be at least 150 square meters, so that it can accommodate a full-function luxury bathroom, furniture, sofa, and so on."
"I'm not asking for Calamity to be like the first-class cabin of a luxury cruise ship, with a full view suite of more than a thousand square meters, but it has to be something, right? "I don't expect the Scourge to be like a first-class cabin with a view of more than 1,000 square meters, but it needs to be.
When Xia Fan heard Fo You's complaint, he burst into laughter, leaving Fo You scratching his head.
"Then I have to congratulate you. After this modification, you won't even have a 60-square-meter cabin anymore. You'll have to sleep with me in the command room or in the corridor."
Fo You's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me?"
Xia Fan shook his head. "I'm not joking with you. Not only will the cabin be gone, but the cafeteria, the refrigerator, the kitchen, and the activity room will also be gone. These are all insignificant places that take up space."
"I need to use the space on Calamity as much as possible to install weapons and defense systems. Otherwise, we won't be able to get out of here."
Fo You was stunned. Just now, he was complaining that his cabin was too small. In the blink of an eye, he was going to sleep on the floor in the corridor with a blanket. Little Master Buddha was born in a prestigious family and had never suffered such grievances.
"You don't even want the kitchen and dining room? What are we going to eat? "
"Canned food or nutrient supply that doesn't need to be cooked."
"What the hell, eating nutrient supply? Even pigs don't eat it! "Fo You couldn't believe his ears.
Nutrient supply is rich in protein, carbohydrate, fat, minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients needed by the human body.
From a nutritional point of view, this toothpaste-like thing was perfect. A person could meet all the needs of the human body by eating a tube of nutrient supply a day.
The key was that it tasted terrible. Not only did it look like toothpaste, but it also tasted like toothpaste. Many crew members who sailed for a long time claimed that they would rather eat grass than nutrient supply because it tasted terrible. Cang Yue had no food that tasted worse than nutrient supply.
Now, Xia Fan actually proposed to tear down the kitchen and stop cooking in the future. Everyone would just be eating nutrient supplies. How could Fo You accept this?
Whenever Fo You thought of the taste of nutrient supply, he would feel nauseous and want to run to the bathroom to vomit.
But on the other hand, Xia Fan had no other choice.
After all, Calamity was just a small frigate. If he wanted to enhance Calamity's performance, he had to make some sacrifices.
In front of delicious food and living, Xia Fan could only choose to live.
There were six passenger cabins on Calamity. Fo You hoped that Xia Fan could reserve at least one of them, but Xia Fan firmly refused.
In the end, Fo You found that Xia Fan was really stubborn, so he had to give up and accept Xia Fan's conditions.
.....
The modification work immediately began.
First, it was necessary to connect power from the operational modules to the dock in the center of the God-class, then use the dock to carry out a comprehensive modification of Calamity.
The modification work was done by Xia Fan, and Fo You's task was to collect materials for him.
One of the two warp engines was damaged, and the other only had 20% of its power left.
Xia Fan decided to replace both engines and replace them with a higher success rate and a faster engine, which was a propulsion system with a power output of about 10MN.
Xia Fan chose a Storm-class destroyer from the wreckage, and then Fo You approached the wreckage of the Storm-class with a cable. After checking that the power system was still intact, he tied the cable to the hull and dragged it back to the God-class mothership.
From the name, one could guess that the Storm-class was a destroyer that was known for its speed. Its explosive power was very powerful, and it was a very famous sprinter among many warship models in the past.
The Storm-class's specialty was approaching at high speed. Once it found an enemy ship, the Storm-class could rely on its powerful propulsion and lightweight hull to get close to the enemy ship immediately, and then drop something like a sticky bomb on the enemy ship. This way, the enemy ship would fall into an awkward situation where it could not move.
Then, the Storm-class mission would be completed, and it could use its high speed to quickly escape from the battlefield.
The two engines of the Storm-class had a thrust of 14MN, while the original engine of Calamity was 3.5MN. After the modification, the speed would be four times faster.
The price of this change was that Xia Fan would lose the largest cargo hold at the back and bottom of the ship. After all, the Sprint class was a destroyer one level larger than the Calamity, so the space it took up had to be doubled as well.
The most important part of the modification was the energy shield.
Without a powerful energy shield, Calamity could not break through the terrifying wind wall of the space storm. Xia Fan decided to install a battleship level energy shield on Calamity.
Fo You was dumbfounded when he heard Xia Fan's plan.
Above the frigate was a destroyer, above the destroyer was a cruiser, and above the cruiser was a battleship.
The total length of Calamity was only 92 meters, and even the most common battleship would not be less than two kilometers long.
It was amazing to install the energy shield that was originally used to defend a two-kilometer long warship directly on Calamity, which was only 92 meters long.
Fo You felt that his brain was a little lacking. As someone who was not proficient in machinery, he felt that installing a battleship level energy shield on a small frigate was a little far-fetched. Could Xia Fan really do it?
Xia Fan saw Fo You's doubts and explained to him, "This is the only way. When we came in, the storm not only destroyed Calamity's energy shield, but also destroyed 87% of the armor."
"Now the problem we are facing is not only to get out, but also to be ambushed by the enemy. So we must arm Calamity to the teeth and do everything possible to improve its performance."
Fo You nodded. "I can understand that you want to arm Calamity, but if you install a bigger engine and energy shield on Calamity, what about the energy? If the energy system can't support it, these modifications will be useless, right? "
Xia Fan smiled mysteriously and said, "Have you forgotten that we have just obtained an energy core? With this thing, there will be no problem with the energy."
"The only problem is that Calamity is basically useless after this modification. It's a pity that this ship has only been with me for a few months."
Fo You patted his chest and said, "This is nothing! If we can go back alive, I will give you a new one! "
"Then I will thank you in advance," Xia Fan said with a smile.
.....
Warship modification was not a simple job, but a complex system engineering.
For example, after installing a more powerful engine, the energy supply system must be replaced with a larger caliber, the transmission system must be strengthened, and the shock absorption system must be strengthened to withstand the harmonics caused by the large engine.
In short, pulling one hair would affect the whole body. It was not as simple as stuffing the new engine system into the rear of the ship and calling it a success.
Fortunately, Xia Fan once had a very powerful teacher, and that was Grandpa Mechanic.
As a mechanic expert, Xia Fan learned a lot of skills under the guidance of Grandpa Mechanic.
If an ordinary mechanic saw Xia Fan's modification plan, they would be in disbelief. But this was the charm of mechanical science.
There was a special name for mechanics who made the seemingly impossible possible — magic modifier!
Demonic Transformation meant magical transformation.
Xia Fan's Grandpa Mechanic was a magic modifier who created miracles.
With the help of Fo You, magic was becoming reality step by step.
The 14MN engine replaced the original 3.5MN engine, and the battleship energy shield generator replaced the original guard-grade generator.
The modification of the energy system maximized the attributes of a magic modifier. Xia Fan had a whimsical idea. He removed one of the two reactors and replaced it with a cruiser high-fusion reactor, creating a set of asymmetric energy system.
Fo You was dazzled by the work. The two reactors, one big and one small, took up all the space in the reactor cabin. After the modification, there was not even a space to put one's feet in the reactor cabin. People had to jump over the energy output pipeline.
Anyway, Xia Fan used the space on Calamity to the extreme. In order to run new pipelines, the ceiling was torn down, and a trench was dug in the corridor to connect to the three-way controller.
From the outside, Calamity still had the sharp triangular fangs shape, but the inside had completely changed. It was like a messy construction site. It was hard to find a place to put one's feet in, let alone sit down and have a cup of tea.
The dining room was occupied by the new radar array. Half of the cabin was given to the power room, and the other half was used to install the large controller.
There were only two parts of the entire ship that had not been modified. One was the weapon system.
Xia Fan had no intention of fighting the Godslayer Society's fleet after leaving the storm. His plan was to escape at full speed, then use the modified speed to get rid of the enemy and leave with hyperdrive.
After all, the enemy outside was an entire fleet. Even if he modified it, it was impossible to modify Calamity into an existence that could fight against an entire fleet. In this situation, it would be good enough if he could escape alive.
The second part that had not been modified was the cockpit. The floor of the cockpit became the place where Fo You and Xia Fan ate and slept. There were two camp beds thrown down, and when they were tired, they would lie on the floor for a while.
Of course, with the addition of new equipment, the control panel had to be changed accordingly. However, these changes were not as serious as the other cabins. It looked similar to the past, so for the time being, the cockpit had not been modified much.
Now, Calamity had a mechanical core and energy core. It was equipped with an engine removed from the Sprit-class destroyer, a protective shield generator used by the Bauhinia class battleship, a high-fusion reactor used by a Buma-class cruiser, and a series of other strange equipment.
Xia Fan's speed played a decisive role. Although he was only one person, he achieved the efficiency of a professional modification team. Almost all the work was done by Xia Fan alone. Even Fo You, who was used to seeing big things, found it incredible.
A week after arriving at the warship graveyard, Calamity, which had been modified beyond recognition, finally appeared in the world.
