Chapter 20

A piece of data appeared on it:

【Fluorescent Radium Gold has ultra-high strength, but lacks toughness; the starship keel itself has high strength, but what is too rigid is easily broken; please integrate materials that can improve toughness!】

This prompt from the system let Xu Zi'an know where the problem lay.

Not only that, it also listed a lot of data, such as many metals that didn't need to be integrated, which not only failed to increase the keel's grade but actually lowered it.

"This is too powerful!"

Xu Zi'an found it incredible: "According to this teaching method...

Wouldn't anyone be able to become an Evolutionist?"

Xu Zi'an was excited.

He suddenly felt that the path of the Evolutionist had completely opened its arms to him!

He took a deep breath.

He noted down the points where he made mistakes and thought about how to evolve to achieve better results.

For a time, he was completely immersed in the vast and profound ocean of knowledge regarding starship evolution.

He had no sense of the passage of time.

After days of self-forgetful study.

Xu Zi'an's improvement was as fast as a rocket!

In the eighth month of his study.

A Cui Can that had truly transformed into a starship and undergone a super makeover was fresh out of the oven.

Overall grade—

Inferior!

Estimated cost: 540,000!

Evolution value consumption: 135!

Xu Zi'an chose to start over immediately.

A truly powerful Evolutionist.

Is one who uses fewer resources to build the most powerful starship!

His skill level was still far from enough.

The ninth month.

Cui Can looked different again.

It looked even more ferocious.

Overall grade: Common!

Estimated cost: 490,000!

Evolution value consumption: 128!

Start over again!

Twenty days later.

Overall grade: Fine!

Estimated cost: 530,000!

Evolution value consumption: 131!

Another twenty days...

Again and again.

Xu Zi'an kept trying, and also crazily absorbed the massive knowledge of the Dao of Evolution.

Finally!

On the last day of the twelfth month!

A brand new starship, 52 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 4 meters high, sat quietly in front of him.

From this starship, one could no longer see its original appearance at all.

Or rather.

There was no longer a trace of the Wuling Interstellar Mini Little Ball.

A huge main cannon barrel stood at the bow, its 88cm caliber showing its terrifying lethality.

This is a pulse cannon, which uses the pulse propulsion engine to provide its kinetic energy, propelling pulse shells for firing.

On both sides of the starship are two thermal-dynamic secondary cannons each...

So-called thermal-dynamic, similar to firearms among thermal weapons.

Even in the interstellar era, thermal weapons have not exited the historical stage.

It is undeniable that laser weapons, pulse weapons, photon weapons, ion weapons, plasma weapons, and even antimatter weapons and dark matter weapons... are indeed fierce and powerful.

But!

They also have their own advantages and disadvantages.

These weapons are all affected by a series of cosmic phenomena, sometimes leading to incapacitation, reduced power, and other situations.

And thermal weapons...

Directly use thermal explosion energy to propel the warhead for attacks, making them more stable.

Although the power is much smaller, and the capacity is also much smaller.

But they win in stability!

There is another reason for choosing thermal weapons for the secondary cannons.

It is that the starship space is truly limited; after careful consideration, he uses the nuclear thermal energy of the super-light-speed propulsion engine as kinetic energy to fire the warheads.

In this way, the main cannon's kinetic energy comes from the pulse engine, and the secondary cannons' kinetic energy comes from the super-light-speed propulsion engine...

Directly reducing the area occupied by the main and secondary cannons' separate kinetic energy, which is used to store more ammunition.

Of course, the disadvantages are also very obvious; once in battle, the burden on the engine is relatively large, and secondly, the consumption of fuel energy is relatively large.

The starship's travel distance is greatly limited.

And once the engine is attacked and stalls, the main and secondary cannons are equivalent to being fire pokers.

Even if only one of the two super-light-speed engines goes on strike, it will cause the two secondary cannons to become fire pokers.

Moreover, the main and secondary cannons occupy part of the engine's kinetic energy, which has a certain impact on the starship's flexibility and speed.

These are considered the biggest weaknesses of this starship.

But it doesn't matter!

Xu Zi'an has reinforced the armor for both the super-light-speed engine and the pulse jump engine, so the problem isn't particularly big.

The consumption of fuel energy is also not a problem; anyway, Xu Zi'an doesn't plan to run to places too far away.

He believes there is no problem at all within a diameter of fifteen light-years!

As for the final flexibility and speed...

Also not a big problem.

The engine purchased was that kind of mid-to-high-end entry-level model, and since he specifically evolved its attributes, the speed and flexibility won't be worse than ordinary ones!

They might even be stronger!

Because the grades of both the super-light-speed engine and the pulse jump engine have reached the Rare level!

Finally, there are two anti-aircraft cannons, located at the front and rear of the starship.

The anti-aircraft cannons use separate photon cannon bases; the characteristic of photon cannons is their extremely fast firing rate, making them most appropriate for air defense and interception.

The reason why the anti-aircraft cannons are set up with separate bases... you can't use the engine's kinetic energy for everything, right?

Once the engine has a problem, the anti-aircraft cannons have separate bases, so at least you won't just sit there and take a beating!

Looking at the starship's overall grade again—

Overall grade: Rare

Estimated cost: 520,000

Evolution value consumption: 132!

This.

Is the result of Xu Zi'an's crazy efforts for a year!
