Before the core stabilizing device overheated, Tawil conducted a total of ten tests on the disassembled device, which took almost an hour to complete. We tested the new weapon's damage and penetration capabilities, as well as its stability in various environments. Based on all the results so far, it had reached the point where it could be used. The only drawback was that this thing had a shorter lifespan than any of the existing artillery. It was very likely that after three to four high-intensity battles (assuming that each battle lasted less than six hours), its core mathematical rate generator would melt down, and spaceships carrying this weapon would become a frequent visitor to the maintenance dock. But how should I put it … Lifespan is a common problem with such high-tech equipment, especially powerful weapons. Due to its great power and imperfect structure, a new type of weapon would break down and be destroyed very quickly on the battlefield. Some potential flaws couldn't be inferred through laboratory simulations and mathematical formulas. Only on a real battlefield with a complex environment would the weapon in your hand receive the best test. This was similar to how Qian Qian and I would spend at least three days before every exam to figure out how to write cheat sheets, but after every exam, we would still call our parents. Theoretical things always needed to be tested in actual combat …
Of course, this could also be related to the fact that neither of us knew how to do it. In my memory, Shallow Shallow and I had a perfect exam plagiarism, but in the end, both of us failed. Life is so bleak. Why do I mention this?
Of course, the strict scientists of the Empire will not allow unreliable equipment to be distributed to the soldiers. The lifespan of this small disassembled device is a tolerable flaw, but it does not mean that it does not meet the requirements: there is still room for adjustment.
The new weapon is not unreliable, but it needs to be perfected in actual combat.
"Test results show that the low-strength shield has zero defense against the prototype. The high-strength shield could resist attacks for a short period of time, but if it was continuously illuminated, it would still be destroyed. However, considering that it was extremely difficult to continuously illuminate a moving target on the actual battlefield, it could be assumed that the high-strength shield's defensive power was sufficient. The anti-phasing device's protection is lower than expected, and traditional space defense cannot fully resist the disassembly effect. The second gap device still has complete defense against any form of attack. In summary, the prototype has a burst of super high damage, so it is recommended to install it as soon as possible. It may not be a threat to fortress ships and other units equipped with special shields, but it is a deadly weapon against targets with normal shields. "
Tawil's voice was calm as she announced the results of her test. Her calm voice could not hide the excitement in her eyes. Her long hard work had finally paid off. The new weapon had perfectly demonstrated its power in front of her monarch. For a scientist who was obsessed with creating crazy new weapons, there was nothing more joyous than this.
"The overtime work of mass projections from 139 to 155 was not in vain." Tawil heaved a sigh of relief and sighed softly. "Your Majesty, you can order the mass production of these things at any time. This subordinate suggests that you first build a batch of prototype ships equipped with the new weapons and put them into actual combat as soon as possible. This way, we can improve the second-generation product as soon as possible, and maybe … we can really find a way to produce the King's Landing warship. "
Beside me, Pandora's stomach suddenly emitted a few rapid beeping sounds, indicating that she was very excited. This little girl seemed to really intend to use the Morse code in her stomach to communicate with people. She was extremely reluctant to even speak a word, and even used a single syllable for ventriloquism … But in the end, she still tugged at my sleeve and said expectantly, "Brother, I want this."
Her tone was as cute as an ordinary loli asking an adult for candy, but what Pandora wanted could cut the sun in half. I still have to say, this little girl is obedient, but the cost of making her happy is really high!
As a Schilling -type "war scientist" who specialized in research and development, but was also quite insightful about actual combat weapons, Tawil said that she had two applications for the new weapon.
"One is to use it as a second-generation main cannon and install it on a main attack warship like the Expedition to replace the Expedition's original 'Corona' main cannon. This way, the Expedition will become another type of T2 spaceship, or should I say, a 'half' T2 spaceship. Because only its cannon has been strengthened, the extent of its evolution is not enough for a true replacement. Strictly speaking, it can't be considered as a T2 (that is, a new type of equipment that uses the existing prototype as a foundation to produce comprehensive leaps and bounds) warships. These prototype disassembly generators have higher energy requirements, and the Expedition is the most suitable spaceship to use as its platform. It has more than enough energy grids, and the size of the warship is also suitable. There won't be the problem of a small ship carrying a large cannon, or a large ship carrying a small cannon. If we use a spaceship smaller than the Expedition, we basically won't be able to carry it. These disassembly generators don't look big, but their energy consumption is really shocking. They need to use more than half of their energy to protect their own core from being dismantled. The Expedition's energy grids are already the limit of what the disassembly generators can support. If we forcibly install this thing on a smaller warship, it will either weaken the strength of the shield, or redesign the entire energy system, which will increase the difficulty of modification exponentially. Instead of that, we might as well build a new type of spaceship. "
Tawil paused for a moment, letting me consider this first idea. Her idea was easy to understand, and it was also the most common method of equipping a new weapon after it was developed. First, we would equip it on an existing spaceship, and then send it to the battlefield along with other normal spaceships to test the compatibility of the new weapon and the platform. Finally, we would wait for time and experience to polish it into a suitable blade for the Empire. We had been doing this all along, and the Expedition was generally considered to be the most suitable spaceship for such modifications. It had the most energy grids for its weapon components, and it had enough slots for modifications. This was the reason why there were seven to eight Type 2 variants of the Expedition, such as the Expedition for Assault, the Expedition for Close-Range Defense, and the Expedition for Three Rooms and One Living Hall. The last one was built under Shallow Shallow's orders. She wanted to modify the ships that had been recycled from the battlefield and could not return to the battlefield even if they were repaired. Its main purpose was to be used for long-distance transportation in the macro world, and its value was equivalent to that of a VIP. When the macro world's network was overloaded, the Expedition for Three Rooms and One Living Hall and the Unit Building for Faith were in high demand …
"The second idea …" Tawil considered her words, as if she thought the idea would scare us. "Is to build a new type of warship, completely independent of any existing warship. We can build something with a new architecture."
I could not help but raise my eyebrows. Tawil's thoughts were no less jumpy than Shallow Shallow's. "For a new cannon, build a new type of warship?" Personally, I felt that it was like buying a new tie and then changing your wife …
"That's not all." Tawil switched on her MDT and projected a prototype before us. It looked like a spaceship, or a flattened double coffin, with two cuboids arranged parallel to each other. Anyway, you know the style. Anyway, even the basic framework was in place. It seemed that this was not a whim idea. At least, Tawil already had this plan before disassembling the generator. "Upgrading a warship requires the accumulation of technology. Only when 70% of the system has the need to be redesigned will it be suitable to build a new type of warship. In addition, we also have to consider the compatibility between the new equipment and the old platform. As you can see, the disassembling generator is currently our most special 'conventional weapon'. Its role may be similar to that of a cannon, but its combat style, killing range, and attack rhythm are completely different from conventional cannons. It is more powerful, but less applicable. This means that the spaceship equipped with the disassembling generator will have to adopt a new combat style. In this way, the compatibility between the old model spaceship and this new equipment will be a big problem. It is necessary for us to design something that can match the combat rhythm of the disassembling generator. Also, Your Majesty, do you still remember the abyssal warships that you captured not long ago? "
I thought about it. Vincent? Carlo appeared in my mind. "Oh, you mean the group of T2 spaceships of the Fallen Apostle?"
"Yes." Tawil had a happy look on her face. It seemed that she was indeed quite satisfied with the research samples we brought back at that time. I optimistically estimated that she had already disassembled each of those spaceships more than three times. "It is certain that the Fallen Apostle has really created a T2 spaceship. The shield regeneration equipment of this spaceship should have used the same technology as the abyssal submersible ships. Its defensive performance and self-repair performance are jaw-dropping. They also have a brand new energy network, more efficient propulsion devices, and an astonishingly stable fire control core. These are all treasures. It has brought us a new shield, a new psionic reactor, a new thruster, plus the disassembling generator that we have just created and a few new technologies on hand … Everything is ready. Why can't we build a new type of spaceship? "
Tawil looked eager to give it a try. I completely understood what she was thinking. Over time, the New Empire had indeed completed a certain degree of technological accumulation. Now, the enemy's T2 spaceship that we had suddenly captured and the disassembling generator that had just been developed became an opportunity. The military madman in front of me couldn't wait to assemble these things into a weapon of mass destruction that everyone loved.
"Of course, this will be more time-consuming. Perfecting this framework, uploading their mother blueprints to all the Schilling mainframes, and adding production lines to all the spaceports might take a month." Tawil admitted the difficulty of the work. "But it's worth it. We can maximize the potential of the disassembling generator, and it can also make up for the shortcomings of the Imperial Army in high-end military equipment. The gap between us and the Fallen Apostle is too large. We can only try our best to rely on elite soldiers and special equipment to make up for it. In theory, that's how it is. "
I exhaled and showed an approving expression. "Alright, I approve it. But after the final plan is out, let Sandora review it again. She is an expert in this area."
Tawil revealed a smile and nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. Also … Do you want to personally name this spaceship that is about to be produced? "
Naming? Hearing that word, I was momentarily stunned because I really wasn't good at it. "Naming … I'll leave it to you. You know that I'm not good at naming." I really wasn't good at it. Look at how much Xiaoxue complained about her own name …
Tawil opened her mouth awkwardly. "Erm, Your Majesty, Mother Shallow Shallow will soon receive the news that the new spaceship is about to be produced …"
The moment Tawil said that, I knew what she meant. Cold sweat instantly broke out on my neck. Looking at the new spaceship on the holographic projection, a phrase echoed in my head: Chen Jun's biceps …
Based on my understanding of Shallow Shallow over the years, do you believe that she would really dare to name it like that?
"I'd better hurry up and think of a name." I wiped the cold sweat off my forehead as I thought quickly. This kind of attacking spaceship that could dismantle everything in the world should have a famous name. After much thought, I felt that there was only one suitable name for it. "Do you think it should be called Demolition Office …"
Tawil looked at me in despair. "Your Majesty, please reconsider …"
I pondered for a long time and sadly realized one thing: I and Shallow Shallow were really a match made in heaven. The only thing that I could think of that was more reliable than Shallow Shallow's name was that I didn't add the words "Chen Jun's" in front of it.
Gaia, who had been standing silently by the side, had the words "Now loading" appear on his head again.
"Then I'd better think of a way to solve it myself … Maybe Her Majesty Sandora will have some suggestions. Theoretically speaking," Tawil's lips trembled slightly as she tried her best to keep her voice calm. "I will try my best to settle it before Mother Shallow Shallow has any immature ideas."
I nodded in approval. I thought to myself that it was a good thing to have such a smart and meticulous subordinate. However, after looking at the holographic projection, I couldn't help but voice my opinion. "Tawil, I still have to say, can the design of this spaceship …"
Tawil immediately pushed her spectacles and revealed a serious expression. Before she could speak, I quickly waved my hand. "I know what you want to say, but it would be good if the design could be changed slightly. Look at most of the main spaceships, they are basically coffin-shaped. Every time I watch the fleet set sail, I feel like a martyr's cemetery is floating above my head …"
Tawil was speechless.
After a series of negotiations, the stubborn coffin-lover finally agreed to give in on the design of the spaceship. I didn't know how much she would give in, but as long as it didn't look like a conjoined coffin, it would be fine. To be honest, in this day and age, all sorts of things were in the fashion of couples. Clothes were for couples, cell phones were for couples, and even coffins were for couples. I was really worried that under the information disturbance of the Schilling Pantheon, even crematoriums in the world would introduce a 50% discount for couples …
"One last question." After all the technical aspects were reported, or rather, after confirming that I really couldn't understand, I brought up another matter. "Tawil, look, we only have the incomplete King's Landing technology in our hands, and yet we managed to create such a small-scale disassembly device. The Fallen Apostle has even more detailed information than we do. Why didn't they think of this idea earlier?"
When Tawil heard this, he instantly revealed an unusually proud smile. "They weren't the only ones who thought of this. The scientists of the old Empire could also think of this, but no one has ever succeeded in miniaturizing the 'Genesis' device. In theory, the miniaturized disassembly device can only be created in the current New Empire because we have a vital mineral resource in our possession. This mineral resource cannot be replicated, nor can it be created through the field filling technology of the Schilling Main Engine. It is a special product of the New Empire. Do you recognize this? "
As he spoke, Tawil took out a small metal pillar from his personal space. I accepted it out of curiosity and found that it was rather heavy. It had a grayish-black metallic luster, but the specific color of its surface seemed to be constantly changing, as though it was resonating with something around it. This resonance was even more obvious when it came into contact with my hand. In just a few short seconds, rainbow ripples that were visible to the naked eye appeared on its surface.
This is a special product of the New Empire? It was this that made Tawil's genius creation a reality. And this strict female scientist even said that the Fallen Apostle couldn't replicate the technology of the miniaturized disassembly device?
"This is the refined product of the origin energy ore, the core energy conducting material." Tawil smiled. "I salute your power, Your Majesty. Your power catalyzed this' real matter 'that shouldn't exist in theory. It can conduct almost any energy with a 100% success rate, and it can even turn itself into a pure psionic entity for a short period of time. Then, it can turn back into a metal pillar without any damage. Before this, no matter could react with psionic energy in such a way and maintain its stability. In the past, we could only use an unusually large and cumbersome binding force field to confine the critical state of psionic energy. But now, we only need this small pillar that is less than two inches long. This is why the enemy could never create the miniaturized disassembly device outside. Where could they find such a 'material' that can't even be established in theory? "
I instantly smiled in satisfaction. I felt that I was quite useful …
After leaving the weapons testing facility, I had originally intended to go home directly because it was about time for dinner. In the First Family, there were two things that were as unchangeable as the laws of nature. The first was Sandora's appetite, and the second was Sandora's meal time. After spending so much time with Her Majesty, I had already developed the habit of planning my daily schedule according to the time of my meals. Even if I didn't go home for dinner, I could still accurately determine when my family would be cooking. However, seeing that Pandora was in a really good mood, I felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring her around the City of Shadows for a while. From what I could remember, it had been a long time since I was alone with this silly little girl.
The business street of the City of Shadows was bustling with activity as usual. Even though it was nearing the time when most of the citizens had gone home for dinner, the flow of people here didn't decrease in the slightest. Furthermore, I knew that even in the middle of the night, this main street, 'First Business Street', would still be as bustling and bustling as it was now. The City of Shadows was truly a city that never slept nor did it become silent. Countless residents with different lifeforms lived in the city, forming the unique characteristic of the City of Shadows, the 'Cyclic Clock Phenomenon'. The nocturnal race, the sleepless race, and the regular race worked in three shifts. The first business street of the City of Shadows was a city that never slept every day. No matter what time it was, you would see three types of people at the same time: those who had just woken up, those who had been working for half a day, and those who were eating their dinner. You could understand just by looking at the restaurants here: Breakfast was always prepared together with dinner …
Sandora loved this kind of atmosphere the most.
I pulled the little Pandora along as we walked along the street. Along the way, people would constantly recognize the two of us and cause a commotion. The passersby would stop and greet us. Then, they would take out their MDT and post on Weibo: I was shopping in the business street and saw the Emperor sneaking away with his sister. Although I couldn't see what exactly they were posting, I guessed that it was something similar. Of course, there would also be people who would nervously come up to greet us and pay attention to maintain a subtle distance from Pandora. However, generally speaking, there wouldn't be a situation where people would flock over to ask for a photo. It did happen in the beginning, but our family would gather together to go to this place every few days. We would even squat on the curb to eat spicy hot pot and watch the shops opposite open for business. After a long time, you would understand. If you lived in the same building as the president, you would definitely not be interested in asking for his autograph after two months.
However, most of the presidents didn't live in the same building, and our family still maintained the habit of going out every afternoon to take a walk …
I lowered my head to look at Pandora, who was following beside me and tightly clutching onto the corner of my shirt. Her action seemed very childish. If someone publicly mentioned it, they would definitely receive a million hits from the 1.2 meter Supersonic Headbutt. However, this was her habit. There were always many unsolved mysteries in the world. For example, no one could explain why Icetis evolved from a chuunibyou girl to a female hooligan. I also couldn't explain how Pandora's occasional childish behavior came about.
Pandora was in a good mood now. Her attention would rarely linger on the small vendors passing by on the street. Normally, she would never be interested in such things.
"Brother, that." Just as I was thinking about this, Pandora suddenly tugged at my sleeve, her little finger pointing to a place not far away. Looking in the direction of her finger, I saw a surprising scene.
A newly opened large storefront. Well, a large storefront was nothing, but it had a sign on it:
Fairy Void Consortium – Imperial Capital Headquarters.
That void peddler's actions were so powerful!
