How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 213 Mothership Creature

What kind of biological structure should be adopted?

This question troubled Huogu. It is not enough to have laser weapons, but also needs to be equipped with suitable cosmic organisms. However, Huogu encountered difficulties when the design reached this point.

What Huogu wants to design is an epoch-making design that far surpasses all his previous designs. In terms of load capacity, survivability, protection and many other performances, it is an epoch-making design that can be comprehensively crushed. .

Compared with the warships of aliens, Huogu’s current cosmic organisms are really backward in design. Even if they are equipped with the laser biological tissue that has just been designed, under the same tonnage, one-on-one is still unable to defeat aliens. battleship.

For example, the air pressure difference, the alien battleship has an airtight lock design, and if it is damaged under attack, the damage will not be further expanded because of the airtight lock.

However, even if a cosmic organism breaks a small hole, the body fluid in the body will be ejected like a water pump. Of course, this drawback can be avoided by increasing the strength of the outer skin to ensure that no wounds appear, but how can it not be used in space warfare? Injuried? Cosmic warfare is no play.

This is just one of the many disadvantages of space organisms compared to warships. Without considering the tactical experience of space warfare commanders, if the fleets on both sides have the same number, same supplies, and no backup in a space without shelters, In the encounter, Huo Gu's winning rate is zero, without a doubt.

"Start from the very beginning..."

Referring to the design of the alien warship, Huo Gu gave priority to designing a keel as the load-bearing pillar of the entire warship. This is a part that Huo Gu designed that the cosmic creatures did not have. The keel will only be prominent on the warship with a large tonnage. Its function, the structural stress of the entire warship will be concentrated on the keel, ensuring the integrity and structure of the large-tonnage warship.

However, the design of the keel was soon overthrown by Huo Gu, because he found that the structural strength of the keel he designed was not ideal, and there was no problem with the toughness. Only in the field of materials science, Huo Gu was confident that he could overwhelm the aliens, but the rigidity Not up to the standard, the entire keel is as soft as a noodle on a large scale, and structural adjustments need to be added.

[Huogu, several new models of laser weapons were found on the wreckage of the mothership. I sent them back. The models are DRT-type caliber 682C, BETA-type caliber 960C...]

Ming informed Huogu that because Huogu, who was lost in thought, did not respond to the information from the collectors on the wreckage of the mothership, the collectors turned to report to Ming and let him make up his mind.

"knew."

Um?

Huogu, who was troubled by the problem, suddenly paused in his thinking, and he keenly grasped the key word in his mind that prompted him to have a flash of light—'mothership'.

That's right, mothership class, alien battleship, isn't this a ready-made template for cosmic creatures?

In an instant, many problems that plagued Huogu collapsed, because those problems had already been solved by the aliens, and there was no need for Huogu to worry about it. All Huogu needed to do was to slightly modify the existing design of the alien warship.

In the vacuum of the universe, it is impossible to move by swinging the tail. The way of movement can only be based on Newton’s third law, using reverse thrust to move. What pulse propulsion, plasma propulsion, and chemical propulsion are essentially based on this law In fact, the general layout difference between cosmic organisms and inanimate warships is actually not that big. It is nothing more than that a living entity is an independent entity, and an inanimate warship is manipulated by the crew.

Huo Gu directly applied the skeleton of the alien mothership class, coupled with his superior material science foundation, the keel is about three times larger than the original design, which means that the final design of the universe Biological organisms must be at least three times larger than the alien's mothership.

With the skeleton, the next step is the energy source, but Hogu is thinking about how to install the alien's reactor.

The aliens' reactors belong to nuclear fusion, but the way this kind of nuclear fusion produces capacity is very different from the fusion reactors that rely on magnetic confinement in earth science fiction films. They rely on centrifugal water pressure to constrain nuclear fusion.

Under the centrifugal artificial gravity produced by high-speed rotation, a small hydrogen bomb is detonated in the deep well, and the water pressure increases with the depth to resist the nuclear fusion explosion. Due to the omnidirectionality of the water pressure, the nuclear explosion will be easily destroyed. Well bound up, the energy of the hydrogen bomb will be trapped in the water in the form of heat energy, and then there will be steam production.

If it wasn't for the mothership AI's explanation, Huo Gu couldn't figure out why the fusion reactor that had been transported so hard would be a deep well filled with liquid.

Hydrogen bombs and artificial gravity are not difficult problems. The difficult thing is how to install a high-speed rotating wheel into the body of cosmic creatures. Of course, mechanical warships don't care about these, but cosmic organisms that are integrated as a whole need to consider their own internal connection question.

After thinking about it for a long time, Huogu decided to abandon the fusion reactor and change it to a fission reactor. This does not require any artificial gravity. All it needs is the U235 nuclear material and heavy water. The laser is used to ignite the U235 fission, and the heavy water acts as a moderator. Let the fission proceed slowly, and the nuclear fission is released in the form of heat energy, and then coupled with the temperature-sensitive cells, directly skip the steam power generation stage to obtain electric energy, and the conversion efficiency is even higher than the original nuclear fission of the aliens.

Of course, fission is still inferior to fusion after all, and the efficiency of mass-energy conversion lies there, so Huogu increased the size and quantity of fission reactors to make up for the qualitative gap in quantity.

The life support system and crew living space inside the mothership were eliminated by Huogu one by one, leaving a lot of space and load, and the original warehouse and warship anchorage area were further expanded.

With a huge body, a single brain is obviously not enough. It is necessary to integrate the whole body and deal with multiple targets on the space battlefield at the same time. Therefore, Hogu adopts the design of master brain and split brain. The master brain is like a captain making decisions. Details such as aiming and energy storage are handed over to the split brain for execution.

The surface defense Huo Gu did not use the same vibrating armor as the aliens. Like the fusion reactor, it is not suitable for living organisms. The reason why the alien battleship is not affected by the vibrating armor is that it has a vacuum interlayer and uses The magnetic energy is used for confinement and fixation, and it is too difficult for organic organisms to do this.

Considering the threat of sonic explosions, Huo Gu decided to use swarm tactics to defend. Just like an aircraft carrier, it can release a large number of sub-body units. The sub-body is equipped with heat rays to vaporize any entity that dares to approach the mothership.

The mothership creature designed by Huogu was thus formed. It can be used to focus fire with laser pulses from a distance, and it can be used for close combat with daughter bodies. Its huge size attracts firepower, and it can also serve as logistical supplies...Unknowingly, Huogu and the aliens thought of going together up.
