Chapter 23: Fenrir

"Ragnarok...Fenrir."

Behind the door is an assembly workshop and starship docking station, with a height of more than 30 meters and an area of ​​approximately tens of thousands of square meters. It is surrounded by some huge mechanical arms.

But the most eye-catching thing was the giant beast parked in the center of the workshop.

The reason why it is a giant beast is that its appearance resembles a giant wolf, a giant wolf made of metal. The wolf's feet are the landing gear, and the bow of the ship is a wolf head with bladed teeth.

The most eye-catching thing is the two exposed huge propellers at the tail end, which occupy almost one-third of the entire hull. The high-rising auxiliary thrusters make this giant wolf look like it is leaning over at any time.

Preparing for a sprint.

"The Supreme Court also had a name in the past - Odin. It originated from an ancient myth and legend from the cradle of mankind. He was the god king of the pantheon and the god of wisdom.

But according to legend, after the doomsday called "Twilight of the Gods" came, he was swallowed by a monster named Fenrir.

The appearance and name of this starship are all derived from this legend.

And for a base that can manufacture such a starship, it should be easy to repair the Kui Starship."

Xia Lian's voice sounded behind him, and he looked at the spaceship in front of him with emotion.

It is more of a work of art than a spaceship. Both its momentum and lines are extremely beautiful.

In a vacuum environment, the shape of the spacecraft does not need to consider aerodynamics, so there are no rigid requirements for the shape.

But generally when building a spaceship, you will choose to make the outer shell of the spacecraft as simple as possible because it is easier to maintain.

Considering that this ship may be a one-time use, it is understandable that it has this appearance.

After all, the leader is a believer, so it is normal to be superstitious.

Mercury recovered from the shock, "How do you know this?"

"I saw it more than a thousand years ago," Xia Lian said.

Shuiyin's words were stagnant, even though she was feeling a little depressed at the moment, she said helplessly.

"Your Highness, if you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer. There's no need to make up such an excuse."

Xia Lian shrugged and didn't explain much.

Mercury walked to the construction console of the assembly workshop, pressed his hands on the control screen, and began to try to connect to the system of the console.

Countless data streams flashed across her irises.

"How is the condition of this starship?" Xia Lian walked over and asked.

"It is indeed as His Highness said, it is a semi-finished product, and the hyperspeed engine has not even been loaded yet." Mercury commented.

Xia Lian nodded and asked: "The hyperlight engine is not installed...but what about the sublight engine system?"

But Mercury shook his head, "In other words, there is no energy system installed inside this starship."

"What?" Wang Zhen said in astonishment, "If the energy system is not installed, isn't it just an empty hull?"

"Listen to me first." Mercury said, "Based on the design plan of the designer of this starship.

He wanted this starship to have more than just speed, he also needed to make it impossible for AI detectors to detect its existence.

With current technology, radar and optical stealth are very simple, but the problem is how to avoid energy detection.

Even the most advanced phase cloaking technology is difficult to completely avoid this, and there will be slight energy fluctuations when entering super-light speed."

"So he didn't install an energy system?" Mo Ke said in surprise.

Karl frowned on one side and continued, "Then how should this spaceship move forward?"

"It's not that he doesn't plan to install an energy system, but he will shut down the energy system before approaching the planet where the "Supreme Court" is located, and before that, use another energy system to move.

If internal energy doesn’t work, then use external energy. In this universe, apart from dark energy, there is only one kind of energy that is the most common.”

"Star." Xia Lian said almost without thinking. Then, he frowned, "Solar sail?"

"Call it a solar sail, but more advanced."

Mercury said, “In the universe, photons produced by supernova explosions of stars and newborn stars are almost everywhere.

But it is obviously not enough to just collect these photons to drive the engine."

Mercury pointed to the auxiliary engine with the raised tail end of Fenrir, "This device is called the Sail of Arvak, and it can absorb high-energy particles released by the sun super efficiently.

At the same time, the internal photon frequency conversion furnace converts the low-energy photons into high-energy photons and stores them.

Then released by Arvak's Sail.

According to the above data, the initial acceleration may be slower than the existing sublight engine, but it will become faster and faster with gradual acceleration.

Moreover, stars are almost everywhere in the universe, and their energy is almost infinite. In a sense, this is a semi-perpetual engine.

If the energy system is built in and the two main thrusters below are used, it can be almost infinitely close to the speed of light, and its speed in the sub-light speed field can surpass any starship known for its speed in this era."

"I don't quite understand." Aisha couldn't help but ask, "But how can this be invisible? Isn't it also propelled by a refrigerant?"

"The designer's idea is not to be invisible," Xia Lian whispered, "but to disguise it, pretending to be a star, or even a solar storm."

Mercury nodded and said, "Almost all starships at that time used antimatter as energy. Only this energy could drive the hyperdrive, so it would almost certainly be detected.

The energy system of thermonuclear fusion is too inefficient and cannot even drive the spacecraft at sub-light speeds, and the energy response is also different from that of real stars.

The Sail of Arwak will not. As long as it waits for an explosion of solar wind, Fenrir will ride on the huge waves formed by the solar wind. The impact of high-energy particles of the solar wind will greatly affect the effectiveness of the detector.

In their detectors, Fenrir is part of the solar wind.

And as long as Fenrir arrives near the planet and turns on the built-in energy system, no one can stop him."

"What a genius idea." Mercury commented. She raised her head and stared at the spacecraft. "It's a pity that this plan could not be implemented."

Xia Lian quietly stared at the spaceship and thought quietly.

According to normal human history, the Omnic Holy War nearly two thousand years ago should have been the last technological explosion of mankind. After that, the total ban on AI led to a great technological regression.

All technologies have to think in another direction, which is equivalent to starting from the 1930s.

Although some of the technologies of this era may be superior to those of that era, on the whole, that era was more advanced and humans were more powerful.

"What about the weapon system?" Xia Lian asked.

Mercury continued to browse the data inside, then frowned and said: "There is no weapon system."

"There is no weapon system!?" Karl couldn't understand, "Then how did they let this spacecraft break through the enemy's defense line!?"

"There is no time to install the hyperdrive, so how can the weapon system have time?" Xia Lian said.

"Although there is no weapon system, the proportion of weapon systems in this plan is actually not large." Mercury continued.

She raised her head and looked at the smooth and shiny metal shell of the starship, which was as smooth as aluminum alloy.

"This spacecraft uses a new type of alloy. The designer seems to have used some kind of technology to nail some molecular motions in the metal. This is why the surface of these metals looks so smooth. It makes it infinitely close to absolute

Zero degrees.

Its hardness will exceed hundreds of times the hardest material in a star system. If this starship is accelerated to infinitely close to the speed of light...

The Helios Field did not exist in the starships at that time, and they used relatively backward deflection shields. At that time... no starship or even planet could block its path forward."

Xia Lian also raised his head and looked at the wolf head, "I wonder why there is such a strange design. Is it because of the collision angle?

In a sense, this "sharp knife plan" really forged a sharp edge.

While this starship is a starship, it is also the most powerful super-kinetic energy weapon in the galaxy."

According to Einstein's mass-energy conversion formula, accelerating an ordinary dump truck to one-seventh or seventy-eighth of the speed of light can achieve the effect of an asteroid destroying the dinosaurs.

The mass of this starship is obviously heavier than that of a dump truck.

"So it turns out that the essence of technology is boiling water and throwing stones?" Xia Lian complained.

"Your Highness, come here quickly!"
