Chapter 143

There is no doubt about this.

And the advantages are very obvious.

This keel is particularly sturdy and particularly thick.

As for the disadvantages...

They are also very obvious.

It lacks toughness, and because it is too heavy, its speed and agility are insufficient.

Unless equipped with a very powerful engine.

However, it at least met Xu Zi'an's requirements.

At the very least, he didn't need to worry about defense.

As for the toughness, if he focuses on evolving in that direction later, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Not to mention speed and agility.

Just pair it with the best engine.

Once the quality is raised.

That won't be much of a problem either.

There was another reason why Xu Zi'an chose the Giant Star Alien starship keel—

And that is, the Shenzhou Academy warehouse happened to have them in stock!

It is said to be spoils of war scavenged by a team of seniors from the year before last after they killed a Giant Star Alien.

It had been stored in the warehouse ever since.

Now.

It just happened to benefit Xu Zi'an.

And because of the extreme length, width, and height, nobody wanted them.

The required exchange points were also very low.

Only 150 points were needed.

Two keels.

Only required 300 points.

Cheap to an outrageous degree!

The keel was confirmed to be the Giant Star Alien frigate keel.

As for the hull.

Xu Zi'an thought for a while, opened his communication device, found a name called [Especially Tai Mei], and dialed it.

This Gini Especially Tai Mei... ah no, classmate Especially Tai Mei.

Is a non-orthodox human, a girl from the Titan race.

Hmm... a particularly sturdy and burly girl.

Two point seven meters tall, those muscles were simply incredible.

Soon, the communication was connected.

The other party didn't expect Xu Zi'an to suddenly call her.

She was immediately surprised and said: "Xu Zi'an, why did you think of calling me?"

"Are you planning to spar with me?"

This Especially Tai Mei.

Was the one who always wanted to challenge Xu Zi'an but had no money...

Xu Zi'an smiled: "We'll talk about sparring later..."

"I just wanted to ask, do you have a way to get your Titan race's [Steel Overlord] series frigate hull?"

The Steel Overlord series starship.

Is the Titan race's most powerful starship.

Developed and created by the Titan race themselves based on their own characteristics.

Xu Zi'an didn't care for the other components of the Steel Overlord series.

They were all very average.

But its hull structure, layout, design, materials, etc.

Were absolutely top-notch.

Especially the defense, which was extremely high; Xu Zi'an believed it was the best match for the Giant Star Alien keel.

But the disadvantage was the same as the Giant Star Alien keel.

It lacked toughness.

As the saying goes, what is too rigid is easily broken.

Lacking toughness, the strength was enough, but at the same time, once it exceeded its strength limit, it would become very fragile.

Extremely easy to be blown up directly.

However, compared to the keels and hulls of the same level on the market, these two were the ones Xu Zi'an was most satisfied with and the best match.

So what he needed to do next was to try his best to increase the toughness of the keel and hull.

Especially Tai Mei didn't think much of it.

Xu Zi'an is an evolutionist; it's perfectly normal for him to look for starship parts.

Besides, she heard that Xu Zi'an had long been at the eighth rank; after these few months, he should be at the ninth rank, right?

So preparing for a frigate evolution was normal.

So she replied: "I can get it, but the price might be quite expensive."

"Actually, Shenzhou Academy used to have students from our Titan race."

"After they fell, their parts were recovered by our clansmen here."

"On the market, Steel Overlord parts are indeed not common, but I can get them."

She paused, then added with some hesitation: "However."

"Our Titan race's Steel Overlord series hull is matched for extreme length, width, and height."

"Why don't you consider the Steel Rampart series?"

"That one is matched for a 240-meter length; perhaps it would be better?"

Especially Tai Mei suggested.

In the universe, the choices of those top geniuses are basically between 210-240 meters.

As for ordinary geniuses, they choose between 180-210 meters.

As for ordinary people...

Although not the most basic 140 meters, most choose between 150-180 meters.

Xu Zi'an smiled: "I won't consider the Steel Rampart."

"I still prefer the Steel Overlord."

"I need two Steel Overlord frigate hull component modules."

"I wonder when you can help me get them?"

Since Xu Zi'an had said so.

Especially Tai Mei wouldn't make random suggestions anymore.

He was a top genius and an evolutionist.

She believed Xu Zi'an knew better than her.

Hearing this, she didn't even bother to think about why Xu Zi'an wanted two sets—

Still the same point.

Xu Zi'an is an evolutionist; wanting to buy more parts is normal.

Soon Especially Tai Mei replied to Xu Zi'an; it looked like she had gone to ask her clansmen.

Especially Tai Mei replied: "I originally intended to keep them for our own clansmen."

"Since you want them, let's give them to you first!"

"The two together total twenty-six million; do you think this price is acceptable?"

Xu Zi'an didn't hesitate at all and nodded: "No problem!"

"I can transfer the twenty-six million to you in a moment."

"When can it be delivered?"

Twenty-six million, that's thirteen million for one.

This price is definitely not expensive.

After all, this is a frigate.

Frigate parts.

The price naturally cannot be compared to those of a reconnaissance ship.

Especially Tai Mei's cheerful voice replied: "At the latest, tomorrow!"

"Because there is a star system of our Titan race not far from the Shenzhou star system!"

Xu Zi'an said with satisfaction: "Good, then thank you."

Especially Tai Mei smiled: "No need to thank me, please take care of me in the future, big shot! I'm begging to hug your thigh!"

Listening to Especially Tai Mei's half-joking, half-serious words, Xu Zi'an's heart stirred.

But he didn't say anything immediately.

He smiled and said: "If there's a chance in the future, I will definitely contact you."

Especially Tai Mei was immediately satisfied: "No problem!"

After that, the two hung up the communication.

The keel and hull matters were resolved.

The overall frame of the frigate was completely built.

As for the engine.

Just use the Universe Technology Group's.

Perhaps the Universe Technology Group's parts aren't that great when it comes to extreme length, width, and height.

However, when it comes to engines, there is absolutely nothing to complain about.

After all, engines don't have any extreme length, width, or height restrictions, right?

So they would spend a lot of manpower and material resources on research.

Therefore, there was no need to think about the engine.

Actually, as long as the engines are produced by the top groups of the Universal Human race, they won't differ much!

This is just like the 3.0T engines of BMW, Audi, and Mercedes.

The parameters are slightly different.

But they are all good engines; this cannot be denied, right?

No need to consider the engine.

Just go for the latest generation of frigate-level engines from the Universe Technology Group.

Install two of them!

Two super-light-speed propulsion engines.

One pulse jump engine.

Two engines are actually enough.

Not to mention that Xu Zi'an would improve their quality later.

Therefore, in terms of speed, even if the keel and hull are very bulky.

There is no problem with speed and agility.

The biggest problem is still its toughness.

This, he would consider later.

The important part is coming.

Weapons!

It's already a frigate.

So it's impossible to only install one main cannon.

A total of two main cannons and four secondary cannons!

Based on the combat style Xu Zi'an adopted.

It was destined that he wouldn't need too many secondary cannons; four were more than enough.

As for main cannons, the more, the better!

At the frigate level, two are enough.

And these two main cannons have different weapon systems.

Pulse-based pulse-driven weapons are definitely a must.

Xu Zi'an was used to using them.

As for the other one.

Xu Zi'an prepared to try a plasma cannon!

Plasma cannon.

In fact, it is the mainstream main cannon currently used by the vast majority of frigates and assault ships.

Mainly emphasizing high power and large caliber.

The main reason Xu Zi'an added this main cannon.

Was to let this main cannon mainly consume the enemy's energy shields.

Once consumed enough.

Then fire a pulse penetration shell.

Followed by the shells from the four secondary cannons.

It basically amounts to a pipeline-style attack.

Consumption, penetration, lethality!

This combination method.

Was something Xu Zi'an had considered for many days.

He believed it was the most suitable for him.

And if there were no accidents.

At the assault ship level.

He might still adopt this attack method.

The choice of main and secondary cannons was also very simple.

Just go with the products of those top companies and groups in the universe; you can't go wrong.

Perhaps the Alien race's weapons have greater power.

But they are too crude.

They might overheat, malfunction, or even explode after only a few shots.

The Alien race's weapons were not considered at all.

Human weapons are precise and sophisticated enough.

Situations like overheating, malfunctioning, or exploding almost never happen.

At least they have never appeared in weapons produced by those top companies.

No need to mention caliber.

Of course, the bigger, the better!

Based on the current extreme length, width, and height of the frigate.

Xu Zi'an chose the configuration with the largest area that could be accommodated.

The larger the caliber.

The larger the weapon launch base required!

The final choice, the plasma cannon, is 306cm in caliber!

Extremely powerful, and has a miraculous effect on eroding energy shields!

The pulse cannon is 228cm in caliber.

Compared to the main cannon on the current Cuitan, the caliber has doubled!

And after his own quality improvement.
