Chapter 90 Ion Energy Technology

According to Shu You's standards, a true interstellar battleship cannot be propelled by a mere nuclear fusion reactor. At most, it can propel some short-distance spacecraft that can operate around the blue planet.

It's not because the energy generated by the fusion reactor is not large enough, but because the quality is not enough.

Shu You recognizes that it is qualified to be called an interstellar battleship, which must have the ability to travel at warp speed, and the energy quality required must be of a very high level.

However, whether it is fission or fusion, the energy produced in the end is converted into electricity. This low-level energy is simply impossible for a huge battleship to start the warp engine.

It's like you use low-quality diesel diluted with water to drive a top supercar. This is not a joke.

Therefore, the appearance of unknown level energy blocks can be said to have advanced Shu You's battleship concept progress bar a little.

"No matter where the high-quality energy body is, it is a very important strategic material. Let the engineering robots come in and transport these energy blocks to the base."

The chief arbitrator instructed the peripheral engineering troops through the communication channel, and then continued to walk to the back of the room with the mechanical troops.

After a careful investigation, the chief arbitrator finally found a new alloy door behind a pile of energy blocks.

He walked straight in, and as the lights came on, a room that looked like a Blue Star research laboratory appeared in front of him.

Glass walls, various research equipment, and a research and testing platform with some equipment mounted in the center...

The chief arbitrator looked around vigilantly, and waited for a minute or two before he put away his sword in confusion and began to check the room with a group of chief arbitrators.

"No danger!"

"No danger!"

"..."

Really no danger?

Ignoring the chief arbitrator's actions, Shu You first scanned the surrounding advanced scientific research equipment, nodded with satisfaction, and then stopped his eyes on the central research platform.

Thoughts surged, and countless high-dimensional quantum data swept out, turning into the most accurate scanning waves that invaded this unknown device.

The energy circuit on the surface of the device, which had been without energy for an unknown period of time, lit up, and then the ring-shaped parts at the rear end, like concentric circles, lit up layer by layer.

The next moment, countless special energy particle streams gushed out, and the whole room trembled slightly.

"This is... ion energy flow?

Such a powerful force, at least 10,000 tons of propulsion capacity, but it is only produced by an arm-sized device?"

Shu You was immediately surprised.

This device is obviously an engine, and it is not an engine like Blue Star that uses fuel to run, it is an energy engine!

A device that uses energy cores to carry out higher-level energy propulsion. Whether it is energy utilization, propulsion intensity, or stability, it is far superior to advanced equipment such as fuel engines.

Although ion energy is only a relatively low-level type of energy, it has already met the needs of interstellar battleships for sub-light speed navigation.

The more Shu You thought about it, the more excited he became: "Well... Generally speaking, engine technology is more difficult than weapon technology and reactor technology.

As long as this ion engine is thoroughly studied, it will be easy to develop ion weapons and ion reactors."

Ion cannons, ion naval guns, ion ray bases, ion missiles, particle waves...

Shu You's mind has already jumped out of more than a dozen large ion weapons wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

As for ion individual weapons...

Shu You said before that except for the amount of ammunition, the comprehensive attributes of individual energy weapons are not as good as Gauss weapons.

Even advanced energy weapons like dark energy are the same. After all, Gaussian weapons also have higher-level technologies, such as pulse weapons.

Therefore, in Shu You's conception, energy weapons are only suitable for manufacturing weapons needed for shipboards, mechas, large and medium-sized tanks, etc.

Gaussian weapons are still the best for light weapons.

There are almost no restrictions, they are powerful, have a long range, and are easy to maintain.

Shu You watched the engineering robot who entered the room dismantle the ion engine, and began to plan the use of ion technology in his mind.

First of all, the energy cores of all tanks, fighters, and all mechanical units must be replaced with ion reactors or reactors to stop the large-scale consumption of energy blocks.

Energy blocks are a kind of lossless energy. Not only will they not wear out the machinery during operation, but they will even quench the mechanical parts and greatly improve the efficiency of mechanical operation.

They should have a greater role, such as being used in various extremely complex large-scale machinery such as industrial equipment, starships, and battleships.

Rather than becoming a consumable resource for war.

Although ion energy is not so perfect, it is enough to serve as the supply task for all units of the foundation. After all, it is more advanced than electricity.

The wear and tear on the machinery during operation is also far lower than the energy used by Blue Star.

Secondly, the engines of large and medium-sized weapons such as land cruisers, night shadow fighters and R2 main battle tanks also need to be replaced with ion technology.

As for the large weapons currently used...

Shu You frowned slightly.

The ion energy characteristics are suitable for killing single targets, not suitable for weapons of mass destruction, and can only replace some weapons.

Then replace all laser weapons first, and replace the sniper guns of the second generation of the Fierce Bee with ion weapons. The replacement of other weapons may cause a decrease in power.

The energy supply of each base should also be replaced with ion reactors, and the use of energy blocks by the Foundation should be comprehensively reduced.

Shu You looked at the roughly recorded plan, nodded, and continued to observe the layout of this space with the Chief Arbitrator.

Shu You looked at the surrounding ruins and suddenly remembered something.

The ruins where the energy block technology and equipment were discovered in the previous life will take two years to open. There are two more layers in the ruins area that the capital safety zone could not enter...

Will there be manufacturing technology and auxiliary equipment for this unknown level of energy blocks?

Thinking of this, Shu You suddenly felt a little eager to move.

"Forget it, it's a bit far over there... Wait? What is that?"

Shu You, whose thoughts were drifting, was attracted by a pile of red crystals that suddenly appeared in the vision of the chief arbitrator, which looked like energy blocks.

The chief arbitrator drew out his knife and touched the mysterious crystal with the tip of the knife, but the chief arbitrator did not notice it. He subconsciously turned on the thermal energy mode of the blade with a full 20,000 degrees Celsius...

The moment the tip of the knife touched the red crystal, more than a dozen crystals all emitted a dazzling red light, and then a series of clicks came from the crystal.

[Unknown energy riot detected!

Attention!

Unknown energy riot detected!

Evacuate quickly! ]

The moment the alarm of the weapon control system sounded, the arbitrator and the chief arbitrator who entered this space instantly jumped out of the room.

The moment the alloy door closed by itself, a red energy wave expanded rapidly and quickly enveloped the entire space.

Then, in the slightly fearful eyes of the Arbitrator and Shu You, the alloy door made of metal that could withstand large fusion missiles actually softened rapidly, and a large amount of bronze iron liquid dripped on the twisted alloy door.

It was not until a few seconds later that the liquefied state of the alloy door slowly stopped, but at this time the twisted alloy door had been melted to be extremely thin!

There was even a faint sense of transparency, and the outline of the object behind the door could be seen!

It only took a few seconds from the original thickness of ten centimeters to less than 0.1 millimeter thickness now!

Fortunately, the engine was transported out...

Shu You recovered from the shock and quickly came to the conclusion: "This does not seem to be melting caused by high temperature, but a collapse of energy structure at the molecular level..."

After speaking, Shu You's eyes flashed.

Just talking about how to weaponize ion energy, isn't it here?

This red crystal is obviously a very mature ion energy bomb, and it seems to be mixed with a certain solid substance, which further increases its range damage!

Perfectly solved the shortcoming of insufficient ion energy group damage.

"It seems that the ammunition of heavy artillery and other fire support equipment can also be upgraded in the future."

Shu You recorded it, and the chief arbitrator looked at the twisted alloy door in front of him, retreated dozens of meters, the power device and energy furnace ran at high speed, and the long knife circuit in his hand was bright!

In an instant, accompanied by a strong wind, a sharp sound of steel twisting came.

The alloy door was cut open, revealing a large gap.

Although the original thickness could not be cut off, the alloy door of only about 0.1 mm was now cut open by the chief arbitrator.

The chief arbitrator did not hesitate, passed by the distorted room that was already in a mess, and walked into the new room...

"Oh my god! I'm so shocked!"
