"Is this living metal? What an incredible technology!" A technician from Earth exclaimed as he looked at the living metal samples used for experiments and tests in front of him.
For those who have never seen this thing, living metal, a metal that can self-repair and even proliferate as long as it has energy, is indeed too magical.
The outrageousness of this thing is probably second only to the Forerunner's hard light technology in "Halo".
After all, this is also a technology that can directly convert energy into matter. With this technology, civilizations can basically get rid of the constraints of mineral production by default, and can start building and creating wonders without any scruples.
As long as you put an energy collection device next to the star, or even just build a Dyson sphere to generate electricity, you will have an endless supply of alloys, which is more useful than the star lifters in the stars. There is no need to specifically look for neutron stars, any star can
Just take one photo.
From the perspective of the earth, with such technology and a wave engine that can be regarded as a perpetual motion machine, it is simply invincible.
In the future, shipbuilding will no longer need to build the entire ship. You only need to build a core engine, then start the engine to continuously output energy, and directly use the energy to convert living metal to grow the hull.
As for what is damaged in battle, as long as the engine is still intact, you can directly use energy to repair it, and there is no need to consider maintenance issues at all.
Even going one step further, if you use artificial intelligence technology to build an unmanned fleet, you can even throw away logistics. Humans can rely on the unlimited explosion of wave technology and directly use wave cannons to wipe out all enemies.
"Don't imagine that all problems can be solved with wave cannons. There are many problems in the universe that wave cannons cannot solve." The tomb technician who was responsible for guiding humans to learn living metal technology probably saw this human technician.
What was he thinking, he ruthlessly shattered his delusions: "At least the wave cannon is ineffective against the void shield. Before reaching the upper limit of what the void shield can withstand, the wave cannon cannot break the void shield."
Being directly exposed by the tomb technician, the human technician suddenly felt embarrassed, but he quickly and shamelessly asked the tomb technician: "Can the void shield resist the wave cannon? Can you explain the principle of this?
?”
Originally, humans on Earth thought the tomb technicians and priests of the Mechanicum were a group of robots. When they were told that they were all alien races, humans were really surprised, astonished by the vastness of the universe.
The skills and knowledge displayed by the tomb technicians and the mechanical priests quickly conquered these technicians, making them respect the tomb technicians and the mechanical priests greatly.
At this time, when asking the tomb technician for advice, he naturally adopted a sufficiently humble attitude.
It is too easy for an alien civilization that is completely beyond the scope of human understanding to gain this level of respect.
Tomb technicians don't care about this either. Whether humans are humble or arrogant, it's all the same to the Necron. A bug that can be easily crushed to death. Do you care whether the bug spreads its teeth and claws or shrinks into a ball?
Although this insect is now domesticated, the tomb technician still does not view humans any differently because of their attitudes.
Bugs are still bugs, but now they need to be fed into bigger bugs.
Therefore, when faced with the inquiry from human technicians, the tomb technician simply replied: "The void shield is a shield technology based on subspace. When the void shield is opened, it can throw energy and matter into subspace.
space to resist damage.
As long as the upper limit of the void shield load is not reached, any attack will be blocked by the void shield.
Although this technology also has certain loopholes, such as problems such as objects with a volume below a certain level being able to pass through or being bypassed by enemies, there is still no problem with using this technology to withstand the attack of the wave cannon.
of."
The tomb technician's words directly dispelled the previous delusions of the human technicians, but it was obvious that the idea of a wave gun fleet still existed in his mind, and he planned to report it to the earth government.
In this technician's opinion, perhaps the empire is already so powerful that even the wave cannon fleet cannot challenge the empire.
After all, just the technicians brought by the Discovery can directly build the planetary ring. With powerful technology and military strength, if they are the real main force of the empire, they must be undoubtedly powerful.
But the wave cannon fleet is still a necessary thing for human beings. At least after humans have the wave cannon fleet, they will not be able to fight back when they face enemies like Gamilas.
power.
And although humans are now vassals of the empire, this does not mean that humans will always be willing to be vassals of the empire.
There are still many people who are unconvinced by this, but they are afraid to stand up against the Empire because they are intimidated by the Empire's force and the Earth really needs the Empire's help now.
For these people, the wave gun fleet is undoubtedly an important means and capital for the earth to get rid of the empire's control of the earth.
Although this technician is not an opponent, he still hopes that the earth is not just a vassal of a powerful civilization, but a powerful civilization itself.
At least the Earth and the Empire should have equal status. With this idea in mind, this technician listened to the tomb technician's explanation more seriously, and made up his mind to build a powerful wave cannon fleet for mankind.
Of course, these undercurrents could not be hidden from a powerful necromancer, but Chen Mo didn't care much about it, and instead left everything to the management of Captain Parsus.
This world has been divided into the Ultramarines as a conscription world, so the administrative matters are naturally the responsibility of the Ultramarines, instead of letting him, the emperor of the empire, personally intervene.
Moreover, with the progress of World War II in Egypt and the development of various battle groups' pioneering expeditions, there are still many things that Chen Mo needs to care about and intervene in. The problems of this world are just one of the many issues in the empire.
He did not intend to put too much energy into it. If this world did not have a wave engine and Iskandar, a civilization that was suspected of having achieved spiritual ascension, he would not pay attention to this world.
It was as if the Blood Angels' pioneering expedition discovered a world full of vampires and werewolves. After Chen Mo came to that world with his will and learned about the specific situation, he only asked them to kill an old warlord who had lived for hundreds of years.
Apart from bringing his two sons and a female vampire back, he didn't interfere.
The worlds discovered by other war groups are basically the same, and they all seem to have no special characteristics.
