A few days later, a broken Glassian spaceship with a big hole in its belly was being pushed by more than 10 giant engineering robots. It was slowly approaching the spaceship dismantling factory that was built near the Space City. What awaited it was the fate of being dismantled.
For the sake of safety, the spaceship dismantling factory was 3,000 kilometers away from the Space City. With such a long distance, even if the spaceship were to self-destruct, it would not affect the Space City.
The Glassian spaceship was just fixed by the giant clamps on both sides of the ship. Thousands of remotely controlled mechs could not wait to board the spaceship through the hole. These mechs were controlled by experts in their respective fields. They were going to search for the relatively intact technological equipment in the spaceship and eliminate the internal security risks.
Especially the antimatter weapon room, it had to be dealt with immediately to prevent any leakage.
As the spaceship was hit by the high-density gamma ray cannon of the giant cannon, both sides of the spaceship were completely penetrated. The aftermath of the high-intensity energy passing through the middle had caused the interior to be in a mess. There were traces of high-temperature corrosion everywhere. Almost all the electronic equipment had been completely destroyed. Many of them could not even be seen anymore.
The power of the giant cannon seemed to be too strong for the Glassians, causing most of the spoils of war to be destroyed.
However, the people who inspected the spaceship were not completely disappointed. This was because the most important parts of the spaceship, the engine and the power furnace were mostly preserved. After all, most of these parts were made up of high-strength critical metals. As long as it was not hit directly, it would be difficult to damage it easily.
Moreover, there was more than one Glassian spaceship in this batch. There were different degrees of damage and this spaceship was the one that was closest to them. The first few spaceships that were destroyed by the space fighters did not even have a hole in their armor. Those few spaceships that were destroyed were the most juicy pieces of meat.
The Glassian spaceship used two types of engine systems. One was a conventional engine, which was similar to the engine used by the humans. The other was a curvature engine.
The two sets of engines were immediately dismantled and cut.
…
The curvature engine was urgently sent to the curvature engine experimental factory that was attached to the Space Physics and Space Curvature Laboratory. A large number of technicians immediately carried out a detailed examination and scan.
As to propel an interstellar spaceship, there were several sets of engines and they were all huge. The curvature engine of the Glassian was obviously even bigger. It was 200 meters tall and it was like a mountain.
The engine undoubtedly represented the most advanced machinery of the Glassians. However, the result of the test was shocking and disappointing.
On the one hand, its metal was a titanium-magnesium alloy with a critical ratio of only 28. Compared to the 30 ratio that was commonly used by humans, the highest ratio could reach up to 33, which was too far behind. The processing technology and precision were also too rough in the eyes of humans. The smoothness of the curved surface was obviously not up to standard.
On the other hand, this kind of engine was more mature than the one that was still in the laboratory. The curvature it caused was greater, but there was no technical difference, and there were no difficulties that needed to be overcome. As long as there was a real object, with human engineering technology, they could imitate it.
With this engine as a reference, it would take at most three months to build a similar engine that was even more advanced than the Glassian's engine. It would be smaller and more powerful.
That was how technology worked. Sometimes, it was just a matter of inspiration. If an ordinary transmigrator came to ancient times, although he could not immediately create technology-intensive products like mobile phones and cars, he could easily use the manual techniques of that time to promote the development of society for decades or centuries in a short period of time, achieving a great leap in science and technology.
However, to a certain extent, it could also be seen that the Glassian's technology was comprehensive and profound.
Human's technology was almost deformed. It had always been focused on military affairs and looked down on civilian affairs. They were strong in technology and weak in theory. There were many reasons for this, such as a strong sense of insecurity for survival, or the short period of development, but the biggest reason was the limited population.
Until now, even though there were almost a million clones being born every year, the total population of humans was still just over 12 million. Almost half of them were underage.
Although the proportion of high-end researchers, including engineers, had reached an astonishing 6%, it was still pitifully small.
The number of 700,000 high-end researchers might be able to support the development of a superpower before the apocalypse. However, now that humans had entered the interstellar civilization, the branches of various technological fields were getting more and more detailed. There were more and more new subjects and fields. The number of researchers was just a drop in the bucket.
Among them, there were almost 90,000 super scientists who had consumed the wisdom elixir. They were able to support the continuous development of human technology. However, due to the limited energy of humans, it was inevitable that they would focus on other things.
The research of these researchers were basically related to the military industry. It was inevitable that they would ignore the research that could not increase the strength of humans, or the research that could not be seen in a short period of time.
...
As more and more broken Glassian spaceships were towed to the Space City, some of the equipment that was in good condition was sent to various research institutions for analysis. Soon, a complete evaluation report of the Glassian's technology was released.
The research found that human technology was slightly better than the Glassian in critical material science, quantum energy transmission, industrial technology, and fine processing. However, they were lagging behind in more than ten fields such as quantum computer, gravitational physics, nuclear fusion furnace, and so on.
Overall, humans were on the same level as the Glassian.
Fortunately, the victory in the war had quickly made up for these shortcomings.
In the next six months, the human technology had been developing at a rapid pace. The powerful industrial technology had allowed the humans to replicate the Glassians' advanced technology without much effort. They had learned from the Glassians' strong points to make up for their shortcomings and innovated the old to bring forth the new.
Humans did not let their guard down even though they had won the war. They were still in a state of war.
It was impossible for two interstellar civilizations to exist in the same star region. Moreover, the hatred between humans and the Glassian had long been planted and they would not stop until one of them was dead.
If there was anything that changed in the war, it would be that humans had become more confident after the war. They had changed from looking up to the Glassian to looking down on them. Therefore, their desire for revenge had become even more intense. The entire Space City was filled with a fanatical war spirit.
The blood feud caused by the death of billions of humans, the humiliation of escaping from the mother planet, and the hatred that had been accumulated for 20 years. It was a huge force that could only be followed and not stopped.
The war machine had been activated.
However, the war was no longer a passive defense. It was an active attack.
The Glassian had decided when the war would start but they could not decide when it would end.
