After having a power network all over the planet, the fourth civilization began the construction of another large-scale project-Droids!
Because the relationship between the Fourth Group, the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Clan is very good, and their Droid-related technologies are very advanced, the Fourth Group did not go far to develop a new Droid.
The 10 million B-1 Battle Droids previously purchased by the Fourth Group from the Interstellar Banking Clan have all arrived, of which only 2 million are programmed into the battle program and are currently sealed in the underground base. The remaining 8 million robots are all kinds of engineering and civilian programs, including firefighting, public security, construction, transportation, etc., and there are even nanny models, which are specially used to take care of the growth of frozen embryos.
The Fourth Civilization was able to build 5 large cities and more than 20 small towns in just over a year, thanks to these Droids. We must know that even if SCV is widely used in the construction team of the Fourth Civilization, such a large-scale construction is still beyond our capabilities.
However, the scientific research department of the Fourth Civilization did not stop because of this. They first carried out a large number of transformations on the B-1 Droid, starting from modifying the programming at the very beginning so that they could drive SCVs, and then further optimizing the B-1 Droids Intelligent Algorithm.
Afterwards, the Fourth Civilization set up a separate department dedicated to the research of intelligent Droids, and this department immediately launched a mysterious project under the leadership of two master scientists. No one knows what this project is, but it is probably related to Droids. The project name...
G-Project.
After half a year of research, the project team came up with the first result, which was applied to the B-1 Droid on Planet Dawn. This is called the synaptic network, and based on this technology, the Fourth Civilization began to build a large building called a synaptic node.
After completion, all B-1 Droids will upload their calculations to the synaptic nodes for data sharing. Once there is a calculation that cannot be completed by a single B-1 Droid, other computing power will be available through the synaptic nodes The idle B-1 Droid joins in the calculation to help the single unit complete the calculation.
In this way, the B-1 Droids on the entire Planet Dawn will be able to maximize their own skills, thus alleviating the situation where the B-1 Droids often appear cute due to insufficient computing power.
In addition, scientific research in fundamental physics has also made progress.
On the basis of Blue Laser Weapons, the energetics department led by Guan Yan has further developed Ultraviolet Laser Weapons. This Laser Weapon has a shorter wavelength than blue lasers, so its energy is more concentrated and more destructive.
After the development of Ultraviolet Lasers, although the destructive power of the Fourth Civilization's Laser Weapons is still far behind that of Blaster Weapons, they are much more flexible because they do not need to replenish Blaster Gas and directly irradiate at the speed of light. It's great as a point defense weapon.
In the field of materials science, scientists have successfully applied nanomaterials. The hardness and ductility of this material are more than a hundred times that of ordinary steel, and it has now been widely used in the construction of spacecraft.
On the other hand, materials scientist Qu Xuewen has finally returned to her old profession. The materials team she leads is conquering a material from "EVE" in the database--Tritanium Alloy!
The database contains the chemical bond composition and melting method of the Tritanium Alloy, but some materials in it are not found in the world of "Star Wars", so it is necessary to find materials with similar properties to replace them, which requires a lot of time for comparison.
But if it can be completed, the Tritanium Alloy will be a very good material for space-based buildings and spacecraft. This material has good energy-blocking properties, and its toughness and hardness are higher than current nanomaterials. Importantly, the cost is still very low!
However, the only disadvantage is that the Tritanium Alloy will react violently with oxygen, so it cannot enter the atmosphere of the planet, but this disadvantage is not worth mentioning at all, after all, the main battlefield is still in the space environment.
Before the advent of molecular-level materials, the Tritanium Alloy will become the most important spaceship construction material of the Fourth Civilization.
A big reason for these breakthroughs in scientific research is a small device-the technology from "Mass Effect", Omni-tools!
This kind of tool can be said to be a combination of a personal terminal, a processing tool, an analysis detection device, and a melee weapon. It is a semi-energy body equipment constrained by a position, and can flexibly change its shape according to a preset program. Usually, it is just a generator worn on the wrist, when needed, it can be expanded into a tool covering the entire palm.
With the help of universal tools, scientists and technicians can easily complete the functions of data query, networking and parts processing. It can even be used as a melee weapon or even unfolded into a shield when necessary! Simply put, this thing has all the functions you can think of.
To put it bluntly, it is precisely because of the equipment of universal tools that the efficiency of Fourth Civilization, whether it is scientific research or manufacturing, has increased by at least 10% to 20%!
The current state of the Fourth Civilization is also the ideal state of Tang Xiao. Although the Milky Way is in chaos, he knows that the Fourth Civilization cannot be in chaos, let alone start violent soldiers blindly because of the chaos outside. This can only be the way to death.
Because he knew that the biggest gap between himself and the Galactic Republic was not technology, but size. To put it bluntly, it is population, resource output, industrial production capacity and so on. At this time, violent soldiers are not only useless to narrow the strength comparison between the two sides but will slow down their own development.
This is why Tang Xiao strictly prohibited the development of large spaceships.
But even so, it does not mean that the military expansion of the Fourth Civilization has completely stopped. On the contrary, it is only accumulating more in order to accumulate strength.
The Fourth Civilization has made a lot of groundwork in Military Technology. The above-mentioned breakthroughs in Ultraviolet Lasers and those materials are only one aspect. The Fourth Civilization has also improved its military strength in many details.
First of all, for example, the Military Uniforms of the Fourth Civilization Army have now been fully replaced with the Light Combat Uniforms in "Mass Effect". This kind of military uniform made of polymer material is very comfortable and close-fitting, easy to move and durable, and can resist the cutting of shrapnel, even in a space environment, it can also protect the wearer's body from the influence of vacuum and low temperature.
