Chapter 745 The Experiment Begins

"Such a large space allows us to equip this battleship with more equipment!"

"We have redesigned a new shield system for this battleship. Due to the reduction in the size of the battleship, the shield strength per unit area has been greatly enhanced. We have also prepared a shield connection device for it so that this battleship can communicate with other battleships. Together the shields become one."

"The outermost layer of the battleship is still our dimensional armor, and the inner layer is two layers of letter crystal armor."

"However, due to the reduction in the surface area of ​​the battleship, the strength of the dimensional armor is much lower than before, but the advantage is that the shield strength we have improved is enough to make up for the loss of defense power and has even increased."

"The extremely shrunken hull can greatly reduce the area where the warship can be hit, thus improving the warship's survivability."

"The application of space folding makes the Zeus III weigh only the size of an ordinary destroyer, improving its maneuverability." The person in charge of the design explained to Li Mingze.

"I understand all this, but I just want to know where the weapons on this battleship are?" Li Mingze looked at the smooth surface of the battleship and frowned.

A designer stood up and unfolded a holographic image from his hand again.

"Your Majesty, please allow us to show you the most advanced technology of our empire!" The designer said and lightly drew his hand on the tablet.

Hundreds of "windows" of different sizes flashed on both sides of the Zeus III battleship that was parked in the dock.

These windows densely covered the entire battleship, and then gun barrels of different thicknesses stretched out from these space windows suspended in the air!

"In order to ensure the overall strength of the warship, we did not design a conventional gun port on the warship, but kept all the weapons inside the warship."

"When they need to attack, open the space window directly around the battleship, and the weapons inside the battleship can attack directly through these windows!" As the designer waved his arm, Li Mingze could see inside these windows. The barrels of his guns danced along his arms, extremely flexible!

"Original space folding technology allows this Zeus III to carry more ammunition."

"However, after we applied the space folding technology to the artillery shells, due to the non-superimposability of space, the artillery shells could not be stuffed into the space folding device of the warship after using the space folding device."

"We can only design a separate magazine for storing these physical ammunition." The designer shook his head regretfully.

Li Mingze was shocked. If it couldn't be put into the space folding magazine, how much ammunition could this one-kilometer-long battleship be able to carry?

"Your Majesty, I know what you are thinking." The designer smiled slightly, and the holographic image in his hand turned into an ordinary warhead.

"This is a high-explosive warhead that uses space folding technology. Its size is only the size of our fist, but its power is not small at all. And because its reduced size and mass make it more difficult for the enemy to intercept!"

"Similarly, it takes less time and energy to accelerate it to sub-light speed, which greatly increases the rate of fire of our weapons!"

"Of course, the solid warheads used for physical attacks are still stored in the space folding magazine and are not mixed with these warheads." The designers proudly showed their latest masterpiece to Li Mingze.

"Very good! Very good! Except for the appearance of this battleship, I am very satisfied!" Li Mingze clapped his hands with satisfaction.

He has imagined that when millions of these Zeus III warships fly in front of the enemy, the enemy may laugh at how powerful these destroyer-sized warships can be.

And then the empire's warships can hit them hard in the face!

With the exception of the Zeus III battleships, the size of all space units in the empire has been greatly reduced. The fleet that could originally cover the stars can now barely block the moonlight.

However, their combat effectiveness has not been reduced, but has been greatly enhanced.

The empire has now officially entered a new era, in which the combat effectiveness of warships is no longer limited by size.

Time flew by again, and another hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past hundred years, various experimental civilizations have completely digested the damaged ring world prepared for them by the empire.

After possessing nearly top-notch technology, these experimental civilizations finally launched an attack on the entire river system.

In just fifty years, these civilizations dominated their respective river systems, and this is when the experiment really began.

As one of the three experimental civilizations in the experiment, one was set to verify whether the technological bottleneck was related to space folding technology.

Its territory will remain in its current state under the guidance of the Empire, and their population has been guided to a normal state for nearly four hundred years.

Next, the empire will create an accident and allow this civilization to obtain space folding technology.

The second experimental civilization needed to study whether breaking the bottleneck was related to population. This civilization was not given space folding technology, but under the guidance of imperial observers, their population increased to a very terrifying level using clones. degree.

Their average population density far exceeds that of the Empire's own Empire No. 1 river system.

The third experimental body, the Taotie Empire, was used to study whether it was related to the territorial area.

Therefore, the empire specially prepared a brand new river system for it, which is right next to this civilized river system.

They only need to go through a portal ruin to easily reach this new river system.

Of course, the Teleportation Technology Empire cannot be given to the Taotie Empire. What if these civilizations master the teleportation technology and run away?

Therefore, this portal cannot be disassembled. Once it is disassembled for research, it will self-destruct.

Soon, these three civilizations developed their technology to the same level as the current empire.

The person in charge of this research project and a group of scientists began to get nervous.

Because they must always monitor the technological development of these civilizations through observers. If their technology surpasses the empire, and finally defeats the Sith Empire that is doing experiments, it will be a laughing stock.

However, these civilizations have not encountered the scientific research bottleneck phenomenon like the empire, but the scientific research speed is getting faster and faster.

This makes the scientists of the Sith Empire and Li Mingze anxious. If there is no sign of scientific research bottleneck after a period of time, the empire must take ruthless action to eliminate them.

Even if the cause cannot be found, it must be taken. Now the technological development of these civilizations has threatened the safety of the empire itself.

Just as the empire's scientists were waiting anxiously, something unusual suddenly occurred in the Taotie Empire.
