Chapter 294
C294 Fusion Engine and Upgraded Electromagnetic Gun
While the military was improving, the Insect Girl Clan did not immediately evolve their main battleship.
On one hand, the greater the mass, the more difficult it was to break away from the planet’s gravity, and the more energy it consumed. On the other hand, the degree of evolution at the moment was not high, so there was no need to create some nonsensical things.
The greater the mass, the more difficult it was to break free from the planet’s gravity, and the higher the energy consumption. Currently, the Energy Charging Crystal was constantly improving, and the Insect Girl Clan’s main direction of development was the small bug species and hull.
In June of 2 years, the first insect species that could be considered a long-distance flying ship had appeared in the Insect Girl Clan.
The Glasses Insect was only two meters long, similar to a telescope. One end was mainly composed of optical binoculars, and the other end was a biological engine. It relied on the Energy Charging Crystal’s function, and the end was equipped with solar panels.
This kind of insect did not have any combat power, but it had the ability to keep accelerating for a long period of time. In the space environment, it could carry 100 Energy Charging Crystal, accelerating to an exaggerated speed of 50 kilometers per second.
This meant that even the closest distance from Earth to Mars (about 55 million kilometers) would take more than 12 days.
Of course, Lo Ya’s first goal was to observe the two moons in the sky.
By using the teleportation portal to arrive on the moon, she would be able to send the Glasses Insect closer to the blue and red moons. Of course, she would also be able to observe them closely.
The light detection ability of the Glasses Insect was very strong. Although it did not have many radio telescope functions at the moment, it could distinguish many very dim planets. At least, it would not be a problem to find some planets near the galaxy.
But even a solar system was terrifyingly large. It would take a lot of time to explore all the planets inside.
Currently, other than letting the exploration ship search for the planets in the galaxy, Lo Ya’s main goal was to expand her base to the nearby planets.
After the development of the digestive system in these two months, Insect Girl Clan could already collect energy from the rocks, but the effect was very poor. Even so, the total energy brought by a planet was also very considerable.
Lo Ya had already sent a Sickle Insect division into the moon to devour the rocks. In the end, they discovered that even if they worked together with all their might, the nutrients they obtained in a day could only barely support their own consumption. They were unable to produce them.
Next, if they could further improve their digestive and absorption abilities, then the materials on the silver moon that should not be able to nurture life would become good for the reproduction of insects.
Lo Ya let the Sickle Insect excavate the underground base above and made it the first main base to explore space.
On the other hand, the gravity of the satellite was small, and ordinary insects could easily enter space.
The reason why Lo Ya was determined to take off from the planet was to prepare for the future exploration and landing on various large planets. This could be said to be the first stage of intergalactic travel and exploration.
Currently, Insect Girl had already controlled the nuclear fission that was thought to be almost uncontrollable, but the entire process was still intermittent. It could not be considered complete control, so controllable nuclear fusion was imminent.
A type of bug that was currently evolving seemed to have that kind of embryonic form.
The appearance of this bug was like a huge cylinder with an opening on one end. Similar to an engine, the interior was like a sealed space that could produce a strong magnetic field. The space could suck dry the air, completely isolating it from the outside world. And… It was a fusion site.
This thing heated up the internal fuel by consuming a huge amount of energy, increasing it to a hundred million degrees. A converter would be opened, and the energy would be transferred to the jet in batches to be pressurized. It would trigger fusion and produce a shocking amount of energy.
Part of this energy would be guided into the internal power generation equipment to replenish the energy consumption. The other part would be released from the ejector to produce a powerful propulsion force.
Lo Ya did not know the exact principle. Anyway, this bug was the core of all the biotechnology at present. To Lo Ya, the one that consumed the most energy was the ignition technology at the beginning.
The elements needed for fusion could be extracted from the ocean, and the Insect Girl Clan produced the corresponding extraction insect. Therefore, the initial stage of fusion could be achieved very quickly.
In fact, in June, the evolution of the bug was successful.
Of course, it used existing genes, and many of the components obtained from other magic beasts were very useful at crucial moments. It could be said that Earth had left behind many factors on this planet to develop relevant technology.
Lo Ya sent it to the moon, poured it into the fuel, and started to operate.
In almost a few seconds, the heating and explosion were completed. Huge amounts of energy began to spurt out, and the super biological generator inside began to spin and produce shocking energy.
The bug soared into the sky and instantly disappeared into the distance.
“This is too fast.”
Lo Ya swallowed her saliva.
The high-intensity structure of the insect could withstand a lot of acceleration, so once the fusion engine was used, it would be much easier to explore the planet.
With the appearance of the biological genes in this subject, the structure of the battleship bug had already started to change.
First of all, its weight was reduced, and the original steel body began to transform into a special biological shell. A thin force field formed around the ship’s shell, greatly increasing its defensive capabilities.
The cannon automatically dismantled, and began to transform into high-power Electromagnetic Cannon. Bio-engine bugs appeared at the tail area, and the nozzle was a vector structure.
The Electromagnetic Cannon energy that was originally impossible to provide could obtain shocking amounts of energy because of the fusion power. Thus, the electromagnetic cannon underwent two upgrades.
For the first time, the cannon’s mass reached more than 30 kg, and its initial speed reached 6-7 times the speed of sound. Its range was close to some of the Electromagnetic Cannon levels that had appeared in the modern era of Earth, and it could reach more than 180 kilometers.
The second enhancement increased the speed and magnetism of the generator. It increased the power supply greatly, but correspondingly, it was the high temperature problem of the launch orbit. This caused the initial speed of the missile to directly break through 16 kilometers per second and fly out of the atmosphere. However, the cannon itself was damaged.
The current Electromagnetic Cannon already had the ability to launch a flying cannonball that circled around the ground. In other words, it could be fired into the sky. If it was not affected by the air resistance, The cannonball itself would revolve around the planet due to the balance of its speed and heartforce.
Lo Ya tried to shoot a cannonball from the sky towards the ground. As a result, a huge pit as deep as two football fields was created. It was more than 20 meters deep and the shock wave affected several kilometers away.
This meant that the Electromagnetic Cannon could easily destroy any bug now.
If it was not for the so-called shield technology, it would be hard to imagine how thick the armor would have to be to withstand a blow.
The next evolution would be mainly on the bearing capacity of the cannon rails. There would be a total of two Electromagnetic Cannon like this. The other would be a few small Electromagnetic Cannon with a speed of five kilometers per second, each shell weighing five thousand kilograms.
At this stage, these Electromagnetic Cannon were still experimental and needed to continue to be upgraded.
