Chapter 291 Out of control?
"Large fleet joint shield?"
Yi's voice sounded in the cockpit: "Using this technology as a fence for the free trade market... This mine-laying civilization is so extravagant!"
Chen Fan's heart moved, and his eyes focused on the giant barrier that glowed with a faint red light and looked like a soap bubble: "Why do you say that?"
"The principle of the joint shield is not a simple 1+1=2."
Yi quickly explained: "Because the stability and strength of the shield must be taken into account, its energy consumption will also increase significantly."
"For a fleet, the energy consumption of building a large joint shield is usually ten times or more than that of a conventional shield."
"Ten times?!"
Chen Fan's eyes widened slightly and he exclaimed: "This consumption... Can the warship bear it?"
You know, the rated output power of each starship is a fixed value.
This thing is not a Super Saiyan, who can burst beyond the limit with two roars.
"Conventional warships definitely can't withstand this kind of consumption." Yi said calmly, "So the Human Alliance created a special frigate specifically for building a fleet joint shield."
"This special type of frigate has basically no combat capability. The energy module and shield module occupy almost their entire volume."
"This is the biggest advantage of the fleet joint shield. It not only provides the fleet with an extremely strong shield, but also does not need to occupy the output power of attack warships. In other words, within the joint shield, attack warships can attack the enemy without reservation." "
But the consumption of this combat method is too astonishing. Unless encountering special circumstances that are absolutely necessary, even the Human Alliance Fleet will not easily deploy the fleet joint shield." Lines of
data that Chen Fan could not understand flashed quickly in the holographic interface above the main console-Yi mobilized the long-range detection equipment of the [Varilla], and was conducting a full-scale detection of the large-scale joint shield directly in front of the Swamp Fleet.
"The shield's stability and strength are not high, probably only at the average level of a level five civilization."
The moment the data stopped ticking, Yi said his own conclusion: "Energy consumption is reduced by sacrificing the strength and stability of the shield, but considering that there are multiple free trade markets in the Bray galaxy, and these free trade markets are open 24 hours a day, the cumulative energy consumption is still an astronomical figure that cannot be underestimated."
"From a glimpse of the leopard, it is not difficult to see that the Bray civilization has mastered quite abundant resources."
"It is definitely far more than a conventional level seven civilization."
Chen Fan nodded frequently.
It's right.
According to what Councillor Baroka said before, the free trade market and Xingsha can plunder resources from other civilizations without bloodshed.
I think this is how the Bray civilization got its excessive resource reserves.
During the conversation, the migration fleet of the Swamp Abyss civilization had successfully arrived at the entrance of the free trade market - the regular twelve-sided joint shield gap.
Under Yi's control, the [Varilla] had quietly infiltrated the Swamp Abyss fleet.
...
"Stop the ship and accept inspection!"
Electromagnetic wave signals came from the front. Two starships with exaggerated shapes and a pair of wide forward-swept wings slowly drove over from the side and blocked the front of the Swamp Abyss Fleet.
The starships were not large, with a scale of about one thousand meters.
But...
Chen Fan still looked at the two starships in surprise, especially the pair of domineering forward-swept wings on the side of the starships. His eyes stayed on them for quite a long time.
This is a very strange and rare starship shape.
Chen Fan thought that he had seen quite a few types of starships.
At the EL001 cosmic star gate, he had seen all kinds of starships, but he had to admit that this was the first starship he had seen with wings, and it was an exaggerated forward-swept wing starship!
Usually, the starships of interstellar civilizations do not have wings, especially those of advanced civilizations.
The reason is very simple.
There is no air in a vacuum, and the structure of the wing is a completely cumbersome structure for a starship - there is not much usable space, nor can it provide any help for the navigation of the starship, and it will even have a certain impact on the overall strength of the starship.
"Sir Chen Fan, this is a conventional warship of the Bray civilization..."
Captain Olaya's voice came from the communication channel.
Perhaps because of nervousness, Olaya deliberately lowered his voice at this time, and his voice, which was not very pleasant to hear, became even more hoarse.
"Swamp Civilization Fleet, immediately open all starship data ports."
As the speed of the Swamp Fleet began to decrease, the electromagnetic wave signal came again, issuing a new order.
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Open the data port?
The Bray civilization's approach is indeed overbearing - it is no exaggeration to say that after the data port is opened, the life of the Swamp Fleet is in the hands of the Bray civilization.
As long as the other side has a thought, the entire fleet will quietly perish in the starship.
But in the face of such an overbearing order, Olaya's face did not show any hesitation.
He quickly operated on the main console in front of him, and very skillfully handed over the data ports of all the colony ships and patrol starships.
Then, he looked at the communication interface in the fleet in front of him with an embarrassed face: "Sir Chen Fan, you..."
Seeing Aura's hesitant expression, Chen Fan didn't say much, and very cooperatively handed over the data port of the [Varilla].
It's really not that he is blindly confident.
With the existence of Yihe's ship-borne main brain, plus the data firewall left by Zero's ancestors, even if he took the initiative to hand over the data interface, with the technology of the mine-laying civilization, it is estimated that he will not be able to obtain any useful information from the [Varilla].
Seeing Chen Fan's cooperation, Olaya breathed a sigh of relief.
A few seconds later, the data transmission channel was successfully established, and a large amount of data flow began to be transmitted back and forth between the Swamp Fleet and the two Bray starships in front.
This data transmission is bidirectional. While receiving the data signal of the Swamp Fleet, the data port of the Bray starship was also exposed.
Under normal circumstances, this behavior would not bring any risks.
After all, no civilization in the entire Bray galaxy dared or could carry out a reverse invasion of the Bray civilization.
But now...
"First, try to invade the opponent's starship and see how strong the Bray civilization is."
Looking at the prompt message of the data port exposure on the main console, Chen Fan's face suddenly smiled.
Isn't this pure fat meat delivered to the door? !
To be safe, Chen Fan even added: "Remember, stop the invasion if there is a risk of exposure."
So...
when no one realized it, an inconspicuous data stream crossed the starry sky and quietly flowed into the Bray civilization's starship.
...
More than ten seconds later.
"Successfully invaded the target starship."
The moment the electronic synthesized voice sounded in the cockpit, Chen Fan's face suddenly showed a trace of surprise.
This invasion process... is it too fast?
"The target starship is almost undefended." Yi answered, "The invasion is going quite smoothly."
As the voice fell, the holographic interface on the main console had already appeared the picture of the interior of the Bray starship.
In the spacious and bright cockpit, two Bray people were lying on their backs casually in the seats behind them.
The fine and narrow sheet-like feathers were distributed neatly on the surface of the bodies of the two Bray people. Under the reflection of the cockpit lights, these feathers glowed with a faint purple light.
The head was in the shape of an inverted triangle, and the sharp beak and narrow eyes were distributed on the face of the Bray people in a peculiar proportion.
On both sides of the body, two pairs of slightly bent arms, one large and one small, were covered with broad and smooth lavender feathers, which looked like the wings of birds.
"...Birds?"
Chen Fan looked at the scene in front of him in a bit of astonishment, and murmured in a low voice: "The Bray people evolved from birds?"
No wonder the Bray civilization's starships have such a useless design as wings...
It turns out that they themselves have two pairs of wings, one large and one small! !
"From the appearance, the possibility is more than 99%." Yi quickly gave a positive answer, "Bird civilization is not uncommon in the human-connected universe. On some planets with special landforms, highly intelligent birds can easily develop a brilliant civilization." "
For example?" Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.
"Mountain landform."
"The cores of some habitable planets are quite active, which leads to frequent collisions and compressions of continental plates, thus creating a large number of mountain environments."
"For most creatures, the surface with a huge altitude difference and frequent earthquakes is not suitable for survival."
"Except for bird creatures."
Looking at the panoramic view of a mountain planet that Yi called up in the database, Chen Fan suddenly realized.
Under Chen Fan's gaze, one of the Bray people gently moved his sharp beak, and a sharp sound rang out.
Relying on the language database provided by the Swamp Abyss Civilization, Yi quickly completed the translation work.
[It's been so long, why haven't you finished the inspection yet? ]
[I'm still waiting to go back and drink the star sand...]
Chen Fan looked at this line of translated text in some surprise.
People from the Bray Civilization... actually drink star sand?
He narrowed his eyes slightly and cast his eyes on the two lavender four-winged birds again.
After careful observation, he finally found some clues - under the smooth lavender feathers, there were a large number of hemispherical irregular protrusions.
That was a sarcoma formed by genetic mutation.
The situation of the Bray people is several times more serious than that of the Swamp Abyss giant salamander. These deformed sarcomas are distributed in almost every corner of their bodies, but the bright and beautiful feathers on the surface of the Bray people cover them up well.
Chen Fan sat up straight, and his expression became solemn.
As the manufacturer and seller of star sand, the Bray civilization must be more aware of the harm of star sand.
They are the most powerful civilization in the galaxy. Under normal circumstances, the Bray civilization has no reason to touch this highly addictive and dangerous item.
"Has it lost control?"
A thought suddenly popped up in Chen Fan's mind.
When dangerous technology begins to backfire on civilization itself, it means that this dangerous technology has entered a state of being out of control!
