Chapter 179: This is the reward from the Emperor
He was actually a bit conflicted, as he wanted to come up with some awesome elite technology, but he was also worried that even if he did come up with it, the current level of industry in the territory wouldn't be able to digest it.
Not to mention the elite level, even the advanced technologies that were extracted before, such as the bolt gun and the controllable reactor, can only be produced on a small scale by relying on the finished black box, and cannot be put into real mass production. It is true that the mother machine black box can be pulled out of the production line, but the production line is not a black box, and the basic raw material elements cannot be input at will to produce the finished product. Both of these things require alloy ceramic steel as industrial raw materials, which is a more advanced alloy than alloy plastic steel and cannot be produced at present.
But even if we can't pull out a production line and just have a finished black box, if we can make something awesome, that would be great too.
"It may not come out yet anyway, why worry about it, just draw it!"
Gu Hang started the first 1,000-level lottery.
My luck was average, not good but not too bad either, and I got some advanced technology.
[Wind Falcon Speedboat: Advanced]
[This is a multi-purpose combat aircraft that uses some anti-gravity technology and a high-energy engine, and has extremely high performance. Depending on the modules and weapons it is equipped with, it can be used as a high-speed fighter, ground bomber, support gunboat, squadron carrier, etc.]
When Gu Hang saw this thing, his mouth almost broke from laughing.
The Falcon Speedboat can be regarded as the main flying vehicle of the Astra Militarum.
In the Imperial Military, there is no independent air force. Similar roles are either on some space carriers, as spacecraft for space warfare, and swarm warfare, which is naval aviation; or deployed in the Astra Militarum to provide support and firepower supplement to the ground forces, which is land aviation.
Gu Hang's army has always lacked air power. Although after taking over the old alliance army, there are more than 20 aircraft of various types parked in their hangar, but they are either propeller fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters. The combat capabilities of these things... can't be said to be bad, but the number is a bit too small. In Gu Hang's previous operations, they have never played such an important role.
However, the Fengshun Speed Attack Boat was different. With this black box, Gu Hang could mass-produce the aircraft.
Moreover, its performance is much better than the current aircraft of the Alliance.
For example, an ordinary, locally made helicopter could be shot down by a homemade rocket launcher. In the past, helicopters were not allowed to be used in combat because they were not very helpful and were easy to be shot down. If a plane was lost, Gu Hang would have one less vehicle to carry out a quick operation.
No need.
But I’m not afraid anymore after that.
It's impossible to shoot down the Feng Falcon with a homemade rocket launcher.
First of all, it cannot be hit. It may fly faster than a jet plane. The high-energy engine combined with anti-gravity technology allows its speed to reach an exaggerated level. It can hover, move directly left and right or up and down, which is a level higher in flexibility than traditional fixed-wing aircraft.
It is very difficult to hit it with machine aiming, anti-aircraft guns without fire control, etc., so we can only cover it with rain of bullets.
Secondly, even if it is hit, it may not be destroyed. Feng Falcon is called a "speed attack boat", not a plane. Its skin is not thin at all. Even if it is not as good as a tank, it is probably not much worse than the Walker infantry fighting vehicle. With the blessing of anti-gravity technology, Feng Falcon can carry heavy armor and fly into the sky. If you are hit by rockets, anti-aircraft guns, or even anti-aircraft missiles, it may not fall down directly due to its thick armor.
Likewise, its excellent load-bearing capacity also means that the Wind Falcon can carry a lot of weapons and equipment.
With anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ground missiles, laser cannons, and rail guns, it looks like a flying infantry fighting vehicle with more powerful firepower. The pilot will also be equipped with a servo skull to assist in fire control.
If necessary, it can unload some high-load missiles and transport a Space Marine strike team; or an entire infantry platoon for airborne operations; after dropping the airborne troops, it can continue to fly and hover over the airborne troops to provide support.
This is a top-level performance flying weapon.
Of course, there is still a problem with its existence: currently it can only be manufactured in a black box and the production line cannot be built.
If the production line is pulled out, there is a lack of ceramic steel for surface armor; there is a lack of anti-gravity engines and high-energy engines, and the whetstone engines are not enough; the military factory in Weixing City can now produce some missiles on a small scale, which is the result of Wu Jiarong's self-conquering some technical difficulties, but the output is not high; laser cannons and rail guns cannot be produced; the servo skull as the fire control system can only be made by Wu Jiarong's hands, and the output is touching...
The lack of these parts means that the military factory cannot produce it, and can only slowly assemble the finished black boxes, estimating that one aircraft can be produced in a week.
The problem that Gu Hang had worried about before, regarding developing advanced technology, still happened.
However, it can still bring benefits.
If you fight once a week, it's worth it. A few Fengshen speedboats can almost have a critical impact on a local war.
…
After drawing the [Wind Falcon Speedboat], Gu Hang saw that the winning rate of advanced technology had become 20%, the basic level was 50%, and the elite level was still 30%.
The rules are the same as those for level 100. After a hit, the technology of the corresponding rating will decrease in probability and drop to the next level.
The only thing worth being happy about is that the probability of a drop is only 10%, which is much better than the previous two levels.
Gu Hang drew twice more.
My luck was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and I got a basic level and an elite level.
The basic one is particularly bad, as what you get is a resource detection technology blueprint.
It is a little different from the technology obtained before. In addition to the finished black box and the mother black box for producing detection equipment, there is also an extra thing: a complete set of detection knowledge illustration teaching materials.
The latter thing is pretty amazing.
Gu Hang immediately thought that after he had these, he could form multiple resource exploration teams to explore what good things were contained in the land that he currently controlled.
According to the description of technology, teams equipped with detection equipment and knowledge of detection can mark the value of land. The detection of land fertility, what is suitable for planting, and the detection of mineral resources and mining plan recommendations are the top priorities.
Sooner or later, the ruins of the city from the pre-war era will be picked up.
Discovering new metal deposits and studying how to dismantle tall buildings in urban ruins and transform them into materials for reuse are all of great significance.
Gu Hang planned to let Ossena handle the corresponding work. She could set up a land and resources bureau under the production department to be responsible for the exploration, planning and utilization of various resources.
Although only a basic-level technology was extracted from the 1000-level technology, as long as the relevant exploration technology finds a large mine, the investment may be recovered.
Therefore, Gu Hang was not disappointed.
The results have proven that this exploration technology is well worth the money.
Just one month later, after Ossena organized a group of people who already had some experience in this area, learned exploration knowledge, and equipped them with detection equipment for the production of finished black boxes, they immediately started to see profits.
After re-exploring the abandoned cave from the pre-war era where Feidong Society originally existed, they discovered that there were deep metal mines underneath with considerable reserves.
The mining difficulty is a little bit high, but they quickly developed a corresponding mining plan.
Patel, the person in charge of the abandoned cave area of Weixing City, attached great importance to this. He quickly dispatched the corresponding construction team, and with the help of corresponding engineering machinery, he began to dig and build a new mining area.
If nothing unexpected happens, the new mining area will be officially put into production in three months. By then, the cost of raw materials for the Weixingcheng Heavy Industry Base will be greatly reduced: the transportation cost of minerals directly dug out from the new mining area is extremely low.
In the future, this exploration team will conduct field research and come up with a plan for comprehensive demolition and resource recycling of the huge tower ruins.
This is not as simple as just picking up trash, it involves two major aspects: the utilization of the many buildings left over from the ruins of the tower, and the utilization of waste energy storms.
The former mainly targets those buildings that have survived the pre-war era, have survived wars, and have been baptized by a century of waste energy storms but are still standing.
It is obvious that these buildings are very strong. Although this will bring high demolition costs, the materials that make up the buildings are also more valuable.
Those high-strength concretes can be crushed and used as new building materials again, such as building bridges and roads and new buildings. They also contain a large amount of metal materials, which can be directly recycled.
The recycling of these materials is secondary. The more important part is the utilization of waste energy storms.
The ruins of the tower are a frequent waste energy storm zone. The reason why the garbage town can be built is because it is on the edge of the waste energy storm zone and will not be blown away. But when the storm that occurs once every one or two months hits, all the work on the ruins of the tower will stop. The benefit of this storm is that it leaves some hot ash stones where it blows, which can be picked up and used as fuel.
But according to the exploration team's research, the waste energy storm itself is a resource.
The biggest specialty of the Angry Owl Star was the Spiritual Energy Field, which was a kind of energy that could be directly mined to produce spiritual gas. This thing was very valuable.
But the war destroyed those psychic energy fields, and the disordered power was released, forming waste energy storms. These storms have strong energy properties, and it is precisely because of this that it is difficult for creatures to survive when the storms sweep. Even if there are sturdy shelters, you have to store food and stay in the shelter until the storm ends.
It would be a pity if these stably released energies were to dissipate between heaven and earth and transform into some hot limestone.
It should be worth more.
If we only stop at this step, it will still be just a fantasy. It is one thing to recognize the nature of the waste energy storm, and it is another to make use of it.
However, Gu Hang drew a fun thing in the third 1000-level technology card draw:
[Compressed Energy Crystal: Elite Level]
[This is an advanced energy application method that can compress various types of energy to form energy crystals of various sizes. Its energy density far exceeds that of nuclear energy, and it is stable and easy to use. It is the energy basis for common starships and heavy ground weapons. ]
It's settled.
This thing is the ultimate solution to the energy problem.
In actual application, the energy crystal block is just a hollow metal frame. When it is placed on the energy compressor and the compressor is connected to the energy, the energy will be greatly compressed and filled into the hollow metal frame to form a beautiful blue crystal.
This thing is a compressed energy crystal.
In essence, this technology is not limited to any energy source. Even if it is connected to a power station, it can greatly compress electrical energy.
Of course, that is basically not the case. The energy density of power plants, even nuclear power plants, is relatively low. Generally speaking, energy crystals are used to generate electricity, and one energy crystal can be used for a long time.
But this is only a very small part of the application. More importantly, after a sufficient amount of compressed energy crystals are produced, they can be directly transported to the sky to provide starships with functions. Some high-level equipment, such as the super-heavy tanks of the Star Army and even various Titan mechas, also use this energy.
Apart from anything else, if Gu Hang built a set of equipment to collect the spiritualized gas in the waste energy storm area, and then connected it to the energy compressor, just with the waste energy storm in the tower ruins, which would blow once a month for a week, the energy crystals produced would be worth more than 40,000 tax coins.
What does this mean? The imperial tax on Angry Owl Star is only 5 million per year. If this waste energy storm can really be turned into energy minerals and waste into treasure as Gu Hang planned, then the production and sale of energy crystals here alone can solve one-tenth of the tax problem of Angry Owl Star every year.
What's more, once this model is implemented, it will not only be applicable to the ruins of the tower, but can be extended to all places on the Angry Owl Star that are covered by the waste energy storm.
There are too many places like this.
How did the Angry Owl Star achieve a prosperous life for everyone in the pre-war era?
Just by selling energy, just like those Middle Eastern oilmen in Gu Hang's previous life. The Angry Owl people dig spiritual gas to make energy crystals, so they can live a rich life without having to work hard.
The reason why the Angry Owl Star was abandoned was because the psychic energy field was gone and the waste energy storm was too difficult to utilize.
But Gu Hang found a way to take advantage of it.
However, he immediately thought of another question: Am I the only smart person? Has no one else thought of using this method to reuse the waste energy storm?
Then he realized that it was not that others could not think of it, but that they were unwilling to do it. The investment was too large and too uneconomical.
He looked at it and found that as an elite technology, the Hen Black Box could be directly used to manufacture a production line for energy compressors, but at present, the Angry Owl Star had no possibility of realizing it. There was no super-pressure engine; there was no refined gold refining and manufacturing technology; these two were the main prerequisite technologies, not to mention that there were some minor prerequisite technologies that had not been developed.
Just look at these things and you'll know how expensive it is to make an energy compressor.
If you have that kind of money, why not build a bunch of energy compressors and scatter them around the Angry Owl Star to collect the spiritual energy that escapes from the waste energy storm? Is that what you're doing with that hard-earned money?
It would be better to just invest it in a planet with a psychic gas field. It is also an energy compressor, but the output will be many times higher.
But Gu Hang is different.
The finished black box allowed him to achieve at almost zero cost what others would have to invest a lot of money to do.
It doesn't cost anything anyway, so you can just do it casually.
Moreover, the ability to stably produce energy crystals also solves another major problem.
The energy problem of the 'Wind Falcon' drawn in the first 1000 gears has been solved.
Even if the wind falcon is produced directly from the finished black box, it still needs energy to fly. It should have used energy-gathering batteries, and Gu Hang was still thinking about importing a large number of them from Wang Jiarong's caravan for storage. If they can produce it themselves, they will probably have to wait until Wu Jiarong mastered the relevant technology of high-energy-gathering batteries before they can really solve the problem.
Don't worry now.
If we have energy crystals, why do we need high-energy batteries?
It can even be said that the energy crystals are a waste of resources on the Wind Falcon.
In fact, the LR5 series of laser guns can also use energy crystals, and if they are really used, one piece will probably be enough to fire for a very long time, saving the weight of "ammunition" and "magazines". One piece of energy crystal can be used for a very long time.
However, that is too extravagant and too costly to be considered.
As for the production line of energy compressors, there is no need to think about it. Just like the former, it cannot be built even if it is pulled out of the production line. It all depends on the finished product black box.
According to Wu Jiarong's estimation, she has found some remnants of the technology used to collect spiritual gas in the pre-war era from the ruins of the tower. In about two months, a prototype can be built. During this period, the finished black box should be able to produce a lot of energy compressors. When the time comes, the first "waste energy storm energy unit" can be put into use by working together.
…
The four technologies that Gu Hang drew out this time, two basic-level LR5 laser guns and a land resource exploration blueprint, are all quite reliable and have no difficulty in applying; the Fengshen speed attack boat and compressed energy technology can only rely on finished black boxes and cannot be mass-produced.
But the latter is only helped by the finished black box, which is already very significant and can be put into production on a small scale.
Moreover, even if we cannot set up production lines for the time being, it does not mean that we will never be able to do so. Once the foundation is completed, they can be expanded into high-quality industries.
After this wave, Gu Hang’s grace points were reduced to the last 132 points.
With just these grace points, he had no intention of staying.
He put all these gift points on the hero panel and activated the hero.
Mainly, it's Perbov.
He has appeared in the hero interface for some time.
It just so happens that I have some gift points left, so I can just activate it.
Gu Hang spent ten points of grace on him.
It is a LV2 N card, a commander specializing in military command.
In addition, there is another guy who has been activated, Lakrosa, the soldier of the Beast Slayer Group. He also only needs 10 points of grace, a LV2 SR card, and specializes in physical and military technology.
The cost of activating a talent discovered by the system in the [Hero] interface is based on the character's level, 10 points for level 1 and 2, 50 points for level 3, 200 points for level 4, and 500 points for level 5. It is about the same as the price of Gu Hang's own level increase.
As for rarity, it has nothing to do with the activation price, but it determines the character's growth potential.
Once a character is activated, he will undergo a radical change within a few days. This is what happened to Ossena. After being activated, she learned a lot about how to manage a department. It should be like a sudden enlightenment, a feeling of suddenly understanding some problems that she had never thought about or understood before.
This is roughly the case in military command, and even in the improvement of spiritual attributes that Gu Hang himself has experienced many times.
But Gu Hang was a little confused about Lacroxia: he was upgraded to a LV2 SR rarity "King of Soldiers", and his physical attributes were directly raised to 12 points. This means that his physical strength will reach about 17 times that of an ordinary person, which is already a very exaggerated number.
After the transformation and without armor, the Space Marine is probably only about 14-15 points.
But he is a super soldier who has undergone surgery, implanted genetic seeds, and grown more than a dozen superhuman organs in his body. Lacrosse's body will not change so much.
Gu Hang was quite curious about this.
Although his physical attributes had also increased, they only increased a little each time, and the degree of improvement was at most 1.5 times of the previous time, so the perception at a single time would not be that drastic.
He was indeed curious about Lacroxia's drastic changes.
So, in the next few days, he took the time to call people over from the front line where the war situation had actually been almost stabilized, and directly asked Lacroxia about the changes he had felt recently.
Lacroix himself was surprised: he had indeed changed a lot, running faster, much stronger, more agile, eating a lot more, but he didn't get fat...
He actually felt a little apprehensive about this change. Although it seemed that there were only benefits besides eating more, who knew what the real reason was? Would it bring worse consequences?
He didn't even dare tell anyone.
But how did the Governor know this?
Is he so powerful?
Facing the young soldier's question, Gu Hang just smiled and patted his shoulder, then said comfortingly:
"Perhaps this is the reward from the Emperor for your heroic performance on the Quintet."
