A phased breakthrough has finally been made in the miniaturization of the magnetic engine, and a new type of magnetic engine can be installed by enlarging the diameter of the existing missile by just a few centimeters.

Anyone who knows anything about military technology knows what it means to miniaturize the magnetic engine, and when the news broke, the high-level leaders of the republic celebrated that the relevant test and design tasks were immediately sent to the research departments at all levels, and all departments were required to do their best to equip their troops with new missiles with the fastest speed, the best quality, the best design, and the most responsible spirit!

As long as the missile is equipped with a new magnetic engine, the military will no longer have to waste precious teleportation crystals to make crystal missiles.

Although the teleportation crystals consumed by a single crystal missile are small, they can't stop the number of teleportation crystals required by the fleet, and the total number of teleportation crystals consumed is not a small number.

However, the magnetic engine is not the case, human beings themselves have a very deep study of electricity and magnetism, coupled with the information left by mechanical civilization, there is no problem in the supply of raw materials.

In terms of performance, the maximum speed of the crystal missile can reach more than 20,000 times the speed of light, and such a terrifying speed will be a nightmare that all enemies cannot forget; And the maximum speed of the magnetic engine is only a hundred times the beam, which is only a fraction of the crystal missile.

However, it only takes six seconds to fly 100 times the speed of light over a distance of 10 light minutes, although it cannot reach the powerful ability of the crystal missile to hit when it is launched, but it is enough with the cooperation of the navigation system.

In order to cooperate with the entry into service of the new missile, the warships in service must be significantly reconstructed.

Human missiles can be divided into two launch modes according to their launch power, one is hot launch and the other is cold launch.

A hot launch is when the missile's engine ignites directly. This launch method produces a large amount of high-temperature gas, when the battleship adopts thermal launch. Flame extraction equipment must be installed or the diameter of the silo must be increased.

After the application of a simplified version of the magnetic engine, which did not have the ability to fly faster than the speed of light, was applied to the missile, the tail rush engine completely withdrew from the stage of war. Thermal launch has become a synonym for a missile that starts its engine inside the battleship and flies away from the battleship on its own power.

The missiles that are stored inside the Zài battleship basically use this method of launch.

Cold launch uses compressed air or other external power to eject the missile from the launcher, and then starts its own engine after reaching a certain distance.

At present, the weapons that use this method of firing are mainly light-speed torpedoes and planetary burst shells.

The former is characterized by a fast launch, but it is necessary to use a precise navigation system in order to change direction and lock on to the enemy ship in time after the missile flies away from the battleship.

The latter has a slower start, but can start the engine on the missile. Adjust the direction when you just start to accelerate to avoid the missile from maneuvering at a large angle.

The new missile will not have a much higher diameter than the current one, so after equipping the fleet, it will be placed in the nest inside the battleship, mainly in the previous way of launching.

However, the magnetic engine of the faster-than-light version can enter the faster-than-light speed immediately after starting, and it is bound to delay a little time by ejecting it from the battleship in the form of cold launch and then starting the engine, so the military intends to greatly improve the existing battleship. The launch method was changed to cold launch, and the missile launcher was moved from the inside of the battleship under heavy protection to the surface of the battleship.

This way, the missile does not have to be ejected from inside the battleship, which is up to a kilometer deep. You can save a little time when launching.

Don't look at the time saved, there is only a little bit of time, but on the battlefield where there are thousands of seconds at every turn, a little time advantage is the two heavens of ice and fire of life and death.

If it weren't for the magnetic engine flying faster than the speed of light. The surrounding objects will be taken away, and the military will definitely use missiles as artillery shells. The launcher of the new missile was directly designed as a large-caliber rapid-fire gun mounted on the surface of the warship.

Although equipped with new missiles, the defense of the armor will be reduced due to the hollowing out of part of the armor. But none of the known races have the energy shield of the dual defense of matter and energy in science fiction, so offense is always the best defense, as long as the armor is sufficient, a little drop in strength is completely tolerable.

Because all the technologies are very mature, it only took a few days for the new missile to complete the design and assembly of the real Yàn type, and the one-time finalization was successful.

The military immediately downsized, and all but the First Fleet, which remained in the solar system, were brought back to the Blue Light Star.

The technical strength of the blue star is limited, and it can only carry out the modification of ten warships at the same time, and the other warships are not idle, under the coordination of the strategic command center, the fleet continues to go back and forth between the blue star and the Yunzhou star, and all the people of the Yunzhou star are brought back to the blue star.

Yunzhou Star is more than 300 light-years away from the supernova in a straight line, and within 300 years, it is impossible for the heavy nuclear ions of the supernova to fly to Yunzhou Star, and there is no need to evacuate immediately.

It's just that if you don't take advantage of the fact that Yunzhou Star is still not very populous, it will be possible that Yunzhou Star will have a population of more than one billion or even billions in three hundred years, and it will be difficult to withdraw people when the time comes.

Because of this reason and the need for the military to continue to maintain military presence in Yunzhou, the Yunzhou fleet only withdrew half of the Blue Light Star, and Yunzhou Star only left a detachment of twenty Ares-class warships.

Anyway, the human race and the Disc Clan have reached a reconciliation, the Atlanteans are too busy to take care of themselves, and the possibility of war on Yunzhou Star is extremely small, and the Blue Light Star can support Yunzhou Star through the guò portal at any time, and twenty warships can attack and retreat and defend, which is enough.

The study of the Shang people has gradually entered a state, except for the key research projects, all ordinary research has been suspended, and all research can be focused on the study of the Shang people.

Unfortunately, the scientific and technological barriers have slowed down the research of faster-than-light cannons, and the research on other equipment has not yielded many useful results, and it is expected that the research will continue for a long time.

The captives of the Shang clan were all handed over to the No. 1 Shi Yàn room, and as soon as the Shi Yàn room received the notice, it couldn't wait to organize a special Shang research room in advance and wait for the captives to arrive.

For humans, room No. 1 represents a mystery, and for aliens, room No. 1 represents a nightmare.

But who cares? Humanitarianism applies only within humanity, and aliens are not protected by international conventions.

Humanity's understanding of the Shang grew rapidly amid the horror of the captives. (To be continued......)
