Chapter 253 Industrial Flagship
As a carbon-based civilization that has already used outer space as its main area of activity, industry is undoubtedly the core project of civilization development.
In the classification of the star market, the flagship industrial spacecraft is the product of this classification, which integrates the most advanced technologies of the five super civilizations.
The first thing Fan Ren saw after opening the options was the cargo ship at the top named Du Shen-class.
The cargo ship is 60 kilometers long, which exceeds the length of ordinary Titan-class battleships.
There is no doubt that the hull material of this spacecraft also uses silver-like supermetal that has undergone strong interaction force processing technology, otherwise its hull structure would not allow it to achieve such a huge size.
Also because of its huge hull, the Watari-class freighter has the largest cargo hold space among all the cargo ships in the entire Galactic Alliance.
It reached a terrifying 120 million cubic meters.
This super-transport cargo ship is also the long-distance trunk line transport spacecraft currently used by interstellar logistics companies.
Fan Ren looked at the huge spaceship, and the eagerness in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
In comparison, the cargo spaceship Colossus currently used by humans has been modified and enlarged after upgrading its building materials, but its cargo hold can only accommodate 10 cubic meters.
Not to mention that due to its huge hull and the high mass it brings when fully loaded with cargo, its own sailing speed is very limited.
The Vortis class not only has a cargo hold 12 times that of the Colossus, but also has the ability to travel within galaxies at superluminal speeds.
This is a product of two completely different magnitudes.
However, the offer of 100 billion per ship at the bottom still cooled Fan Ren's fiery heart instantly.
Shaking his head, he looked down and saw another blockbuster product.
Fin Whale Industrial Mothership.
This is an industrial mothership specializing in mining and collection. It not only has an ore refining module inside, but also a core ore compression module that is used to compress the ore to a strong interaction force level.
Don't get me wrong, if you don't fully understand the technology of strong interaction force, the materials made by metal processing technology will be impossible to use even if you have the materials.
The density of this material is too high to be processed or cut using ordinary techniques.
To the extent that the five super civilizations are not worried at all that other civilizations will have the processing technology for strong interaction forces after buying this spacecraft.
It can be imagined that this is also a convenient product provided by the five super civilizations so that other civilizations can specialize more in mining technology.
Fan Ren instantly had a picture in his mind.
If human civilization had such an industrial mothership, it would only need to dock safely at the edge of Jupiter's ring, and the collected raw ores could be transported directly here for refining and compression.
Combined with the Du Shen-class cargo ships, as long as the population is sufficient and the mine is large enough, it can be imagined that the entire process from collection to transportation will be an extremely fast and efficient process.
If the cargo ships of human civilization could be replaced with this product, it is entirely foreseeable that, at the level of intra-system freight logistics alone, human civilization could rely on it to significantly increase the speed of the entire production line.
For a moment, Fan Ren looked at the two pictures, and even the high price of 500 billion for the fin whale class was subconsciously ignored by him.
"Fox, has your civilization ever purchased these two types of spacecraft before?"
He turned his head to look at the fox, pointed at the two pictures in front of him, and there was some emotion in his tone.
Hearing his shout, Fox turned his head and his eyes fell on the panel in front of Fan Ren. He knew what the two pictures of ships were at a glance.
Not only the civilizations in the Galaxy Alliance were jealous of the products of these two, but also some powerful pirate groups were also very interested in these two flagships in the top industrial fields. However, the fox disappointed Fan Ren this time. He shook his head with a dazed look and said:
"The price is too high. These two types of industrial ships have a very fatal problem, which is that their armor is relatively low. At the same time, they have extremely high requirements for preparation before the jump, which means that they have a certain demand for spatial stability."
Fan Ren's eyes showed a trace of doubt. Seeing this, Fox thought about it, then turned around and stretched out his hand to manipulate the display screen for a while, pointing to an option and said:
"You will understand after reading this."
Hearing this, Fan Ren's eyes fell on the product that the fox had produced.
Warp Disruptor.
This is a top-level technology that uses gravitational wave technology to disturb a spacecraft equipped with a jump engine, making it unable to enter the jump state due to gravitational fluctuations.
The source of technology also comes from the five super civilizations.
"The jump within the galaxy requires gravitational wave guidance as a prerequisite, and the preparation time before the jump of a spacecraft equipped with a jump engine increases proportionally due to factors such as the size of the ship.
Of course, you can also understand that the larger the ship, the longer the preparation time before the jump.
And this time is the window period for the use of this device.
This is what I just said. In a war environment, this kind of spacecraft will definitely be regarded as the main target of attack by the other civilization. After all, the mineral refining and compression modules of this industrial mothership are too powerful.
This considerable mineral utilization rate will directly affect the course of the war.
As you know, silver-like supermetal has always been the hard currency in the Galactic Alliance, and many civilizations even compare the amount of this metal mined to the amount of income.
In this case, having such a highly efficient mothership is basically equivalent to having a rapidly growing source of star coins, and these profits can be further used to purchase combat supplies.
You can imagine that for a ship that takes several minutes to prepare before the jump, once it is targeted by the enemy, it is basically equivalent to having no ability to escape at all.
And because the two core subsystems on this spacecraft come from the five super civilizations, once they are damaged, the cost of repair is extremely horrible. "
The fox tried his best to explain in his own language, and Fan Ren gradually understood the reason after hearing it.
He sighed and prepared to look away.
"However, our civilization has purchased a lot of these freight industrial flagships."
The fox's voice came again, and Fan Ren's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Talk about it."
He raised his chin towards the fox, looking expectant.
After all, compared to the current Colossus, the Ferry is a spacecraft that can completely and significantly improve the human cargo carrying capacity.
The fox was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He paused for a long time and said a little embarrassedly: "It is very big and very useful. You know that the main source of income for our civilization is the mining industry, and this kind of spaceship can greatly improve our transportation efficiency."
After listening to this, Fan Ren shook his head helplessly.
From his observations over the past few decades, he could vaguely feel that the fox was indeed just a simple combatant within the former civilization.
In the field of industrial technology, the other party has basically nothing special except for some common sense knowledge of the Galactic Alliance.
