Alien Knights

Chapter 539: Modularization of heterogeneous weapons

Sitting in the carriage, feeling the bumps on the road, Todd glanced at Wayne, who was holding the file, and said, "You said that the biggest problem with alien weapons has been solved. What exactly do you mean?"

Wayne scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the actual combat results of the first alien warship, we have summarized some shortcomings at the beginning. The first and most important issue is that during combat, the keel parasite will extract a lot of nutrients from the host. This will cause serious damage to the host."

Todd nodded: "Dragonbone parasites, all the nutrients for their actions come from the parasites. If it's just the size of the keel armor, it's nothing...but a warship tens of meters in length, its turning, A series of actions such as parking, repairing, pushing forward, etc. require a large amount of nutrients to be extracted, which is a disaster for the parasitized host."

"Yes, the weak human body is simply not enough to provide nutrients for large alien weapons. I have done experiments repeatedly, and a strong adult man can only support alien warships for forty-five minutes under the condition of normal nutrition intake. Consumption during wartime... Moreover, the alien warship in our hands is only about 20 meters in length. In terms of tonnage, it can only be regarded as a fishing boat at best."

Hearing this, Todd frowned. He clearly understood that the "experiment" in Wayne's mouth was a death experiment conducted with condemned prisoners and prisoners of war. Some of the humans arrested in the rebellion three years ago, after falsifying their death records, were all used by the veterinarian in front of them to use extremely inhumane means to test and develop heterogeneous weapons as consumables.

"At first, regarding the energy consumption of heterogeneous weapons, I designed a large bio-energy cabin on the heterogeneous warship." Wayne put out a rectangular shape with both hands: "A cabin was specially designed to store a large number of biological cultivation tanks. Put the human body in deep sleep into the culture tank, and then pierce the mouthparts of the keel parasites into their bodies. In this way, these people become the energy source of heterogeneous weapons, which can continuously provide energy to heterogeneous weapons. ."

Wayne touched his chin, as if to say a trivial thing: "During non-war, the internal circulation system of these humanoid energy bodies can fully meet the daily consumption of heterogeneous weapons; during the war, the keel parasites are strengthened due to their activities. As the consumption increases, these humanoid energy bodies will be over-extracted with nutrients, and eventually become mummies that can no longer be used. At the end of the war, the alien warships will dock for replenishment, and all these mummies will be cleaned out and re-injected into new human bodies."

Without noticing Todd’s darker and darker face, Wayne continued on his own: “I was very optimistic about this approach, but after actual operation, I discovered a problem...using humans as bioenergy. , The cost is too high, and dissimilar weapons cannot be mass-produced at all."

"I made an assumption. If a heterogeneous destroyer with a length of 137 meters is built, in order to maintain the maximum consumption during the war, then at least 87 human energy bodies of standard physique must be carried. Moreover, this group of energy bodies is also at most. It can only last for three hours."

"According to this method of consumption, a small-scale naval battle would require draining the nutrients of 700 adults. In the long run, no large country can support this consumption."

Todd coughed heavily and said with an ugly face, "Using humans as an energy source for heterogeneous weapons, this kind of experiment is forbidden in the future!"

Wayne, who was immersed in the heterogeneous experiment, did not hear the strangeness in Todd’s mouth at all. The former continued excitedly: “As a host, human beings are not suitable for carrying heterogeneous weapons. Their bodies are in front of the keel parasites. Ways to fill the latter’s appetite. So... I put my sight on the Holy Clan..."

Hearing this sentence from Wayne, Todd widened his eyes in anger, his whole body began to grow rapidly, thin dragon scales grew on his skin, flame marks appeared on the corners of his mouth, and a pair of dragon wings was worn on his back. Out.

In the expansion of Todd's body, the entire carriage burst into a pile of scrap copper and iron in an instant.

"Bastard! You use the believers of the Holy Cadet Army as a heterogeneous experiment?!" Todd, who turned into a dragon, glared at the humans in front of him, and shouted: "Who gave you the power?! Who gave you the courage?!"

Looking at the growing giant dragon in front of him, Wayne Dunlop understood the other's anger instantly, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not like you think! I didn't treat the Holy Order as a heterogeneous weapon. Energy body, and I have abandoned this plan of the bio-energy cabin..."

Hearing Wayne's self-defense, Todd stopped the body that continued to change, and the dark golden dragon pupil stared at Wayne, and roared, "Go on!"

"Although the physical condition of the Crusades is much stronger than that of humans, if they are used as energy sources for heterogeneous weapons, they still cannot meet the needs of large weapons!"

Wayne hurriedly pulled out a piece of paper from the scattered documents and placed it in front of Todd, and said anxiously: "Through the soul totem, I went to the library of the Heavenly Research Institute and found the energy of alien weapons in it. Provided solutions."

Todd lowered his head and looked at the pattern on the paper with an exploded view of a battleship painted on it.

Wayne said loudly at this time: "If the energy consumption of a large alien warship is too high and the operation cost is too high, what should be done? It's very simple, just divide this warship into countless modules that can be freely joined."

Todd was taken aback: "Module?"

"Yes! For example, a large heterogeneous warship can be divided into many functional areas, such as weapon area, thruster area, steering area, ship armor area, etc., and each area can be further subdivided into more Small modules, such as the thruster area, can be subdivided into No. 1 propeller module, No. 2 propeller module, No. 1 bearing module, No. 2 bearing module, etc. ~lightnovelpub.net~Wayne uses his finger to point at the number on the exploded view of the battleship Hundreds of small modules explained: "Each module is composed of a tyrant keel parasite, and each keel parasite is deformed into a corresponding shape according to the function of its module. For example, in the propeller module, the keel is deformed to look like a propeller. Another example is the ship armor module, where the keel is deformed into a ship armor. "

Todd asked while thinking: "So, how do the modules interact and combine?"

Wayne spread the five fingers of his hands and said to Todd: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the bones of the keel parasites contain the nervous system. Two adjacent keel parasites can be connected to each other through a connection. The nervous system makes the commands and signals continuously transmitted in all the keels like a stream of water."

"In this way, as long as a huge alien warship is divided into hundreds of small modules, each module is composed of a keel parasite. In this way, the host of each keel parasite will endure The nutrient extraction pressure will be greatly reduced."

Wade explained: "The Crusaders I mentioned earlier hope to arrange them into some modules that consume more. For example, thrusters, weapons, and ship armor modules. The nutrients they need to extract during the war are ordinary humans. It is unbearable. Only a few foreign races in the Holy Clan can take the position of host, such as orcs, tauren..."

After listening to Wayne’s explanation, Todd closed his eyes and slowly recovered from a dragon shape to a human shape, then opened his eyes to look at the coachmen and guards who were kneeling on the ground and dare not to escape, and said calmly: " It's okay, get up all the time."

Todd finally put the robe handed over by the servant, while putting it on his body, while looking at Wayne, said calmly: "About the modularization of the heterogeneous weapon, I said while walking."
