Section 11
A piece of data appeared on it:
"Fluorescent Radium Gold possesses extremely high strength but lacks toughness. The starship's keel itself has high strength, but it is easily broken. Please incorporate Materials that can improve toughness!"
This prompt from the System let Xu Zi'an know where the problem lay.
Not only that, but it also listed a lot of data, for example, many unnecessary Metals that not only did not increase the quality of the keel but actually lowered its quality.
"This is too powerful!"
Xu Zi'an said incredulously, "With this teaching method…
Wouldn't anyone be able to become an Evolutionist?"
Xu Zi'an was excited.
He suddenly felt that the path of an Evolutionist had completely opened its arms to him!
He took a deep breath.
He noted down his mistakes and pondered how to evolve in a way that would yield better results.
For a time, he became completely immersed in the vast and profound Sea of Knowledge of starship Evolution.
He had completely lost track of time.
…
Day after day of selfless study.
Xu Zi'an's improvement was as rapid as a rocket!
In his eighth month of study.
A brilliant, which had truly transformed into a starship and undergone a super makeover, was freshly produced.
Overall Quality —
Inferior!
Estimated Cost: 540,000!
Evolution Points Consumed: 135!
Xu Zi'an chose to start over directly.
A truly formidable Evolutionist.
Is one who uses fewer resources to build the most powerful starship!
His skill was still far from enough.
The ninth month.
The brilliant had changed again.
It looked even more ferocious.
Overall Quality: Normal!
Estimated Cost: 490,000!
Evolution Points Consumed: 128!
Continue to start over!
Twenty days later.
Overall Quality: Excellent!
Estimated Cost: 530,000!
Evolution Points Consumed: 131!
Another twenty days…
…
Again and again.
Xu Zi'an kept trying and frantically absorbed the vast 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, quietly rested in front of him.
From this starship, its original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
Or rather.
There was not a single trace of the original Wuling Interstellar Mini little ball.
A huge main cannon barrel stood at the bow of the ship, its impressive 88cm caliber displaying its terrifying destructive power.
This was a pulse cannon, powered by a pulse propulsion engine, which propelled pulse shells for firing.
On both sides of the starship were two thermal power secondary cannons each…
So-called thermal power, similar to firearms in thermal weapons.
Even in the era of the Universe and interstellar travel, thermal weapons had not withdrawn from the stage of history.
Undeniably, laser weapons, pulse weapons, photon weapons, ion weapons, plasma weapons, and even anti-matter weapons, dark matter weapons… were indeed fierce and powerful.
However!
They each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
These weapons would all be affected by a series of cosmic phenomena, sometimes leading to power loss, reduced power, and so on.
As for thermal weapons…
They directly used thermal explosive energy to propel warheads for attack, making them more stable.
Although the power would be much smaller, and the capacity would also be much smaller.
But the advantage lay in stability!
There was another reason for choosing thermal weapons for the secondary cannons.
The starship's space was indeed limited. After careful consideration, the nuclear thermal energy from the superluminal propulsion engine was used as kinetic energy to launch the warheads.
This way, the main cannon's kinetic energy came from the pulse engine, and the secondary cannons' kinetic energy came from the superluminal propulsion engine…
This directly reduced the area occupied by the main and secondary cannons' individual kinetic energy, allowing for the storage of more ammunition.
Of course, the disadvantages were also very obvious: once in combat, it would first place a greater burden on the engines, and secondly, consume a greater amount of fuel energy.
The starship's cruising range was greatly restricted.
And once the engine was attacked and stalled, the main and secondary cannons would become useless sticks.
Even if only one of the two superluminal engines stopped working, it would cause two secondary cannons to become useless sticks.
Furthermore, the main and secondary cannons occupied a portion of the engine's kinetic energy, which had a certain impact on the starship's flexibility and speed.
These were considered the biggest weaknesses of this starship.
But it didn't matter!
Xu Zi'an had additionally reinforced the armor of both the superluminal engine and the pulse jump engine, so the problem wasn't particularly big.
The consumption of fuel energy wasn't an issue either; Xu Zi'an didn't plan to travel too far anyway.
Within a range of fifteen light-years in diameter, he believed there would be no problems whatsoever!
Finally, flexibility and speed…
Also not a big problem.
The engines themselves were purchased as mid-to-high-end entry-level models, and with his deliberate Evolution of their attributes, their speed and flexibility would not be worse than ordinary ones!
They would even be stronger!
Because the quality of both the superluminal engine and the pulse jump engine had reached the rare level!
Lastly, there were two anti-air cannons, located at the front and rear of the starship.
The anti-air cannons used separate photon cannon bases. The characteristic of photon cannons is their extremely fast firing rate, making them most suitable for anti-air defense and interception.
The reason why the anti-air cannons had separate bases… they couldn't all rely on the engine's kinetic energy, right?
Once the engine had problems, the anti-air cannons, having separate bases, would at least not have to endure attacks helplessly!
Looking at the starship's overall quality again —
Overall Quality: Rare
Estimated Cost: 520,000
Evolution Points Consumed: 132!
This.
Was the result of Xu Zi'an's year of frantic effort!
