Chapter 1278 Trade-offs in Design
Develop the dock and build the interior.
In the construction room where no construction was in progress, Yang Sikang and the two Yubari were discussing the follow-up plan around a highly realistic holographic projection.
The material issues were solved by Bai Ze and Akashi who volunteered. Regarding the placement of ship equipment, Ingraham expressed some ideas.
Therefore, Yang Sikang and Yubari naturally took on the task of making trade-offs between the ship's structure and functionality. In Yang Sikang's opinion, the first part that could be directly cut off was the extremely excellent armor on the Gu Diao.
"The Gu Diao's armor is excellent. Although it is the size of a large destroyer, its armor protection is second to none and can be compared with a battleship.
But considering the existence of the energy shield, this armor layer is undoubtedly the most expensive part of the redundant parts."
When choosing between energy protection and physical protection, Yang Sikang is more inclined to abandon the armor part and retain the more convenient energy protection.
Both have their pros and cons, but Yang Sikang is very confident in his skills, and in his plan, there is a very important component that the current technology has not yet been completed, but he must complete it.
"But Commander, although the cost of the armor layer is high, the protection effect is better, especially when facing a sudden attack. The protective strength of the energy shield is not sufficient after testing."
Yubari calmly stated his conclusion, while Yubari from the main family quickly called up a simulation model.
Looking at their feedback, Yang Sikang said helplessly:
"That's because the intensity of the energy source cannot always maintain its peak value. In other words, as long as we can complete our research on the Rubik's Cube Matrix, this problem will no longer exist."
The mind cube matrix has existed in Yang Sikang's research plan for a very long time. He had been studying it before he started building the Gu Diao.
However, this thing is fundamentally different from using the Mind Cube as an energy source, and it is not something that can be done in a short time.
The Mind Cube itself is a highly completed man-made product, and in the meta-world, the Mind Cube is developed step by step from energy.
In other words, it is very easy to use the Mind Cube as an energy source, because it is itself an energy aggregate and is also developed from the Energy Cube, which makes it backward compatible.
However, Yang Sikang did not know how the energy cube turned into the mind cube. To make the Rubik's Cube Matrix, which is an energy source with almost infinite energy in the plot, it is a big question whether the mind cube is used directly inside, or the energy cube is used for purer energy.
Without any clues, we can only grope our way forward slowly. And because there are no clues, we have to study both the Mind Cube and the method of restoring the Mind Cube to the Energy Cube, which is very troublesome.
Ultimately, it is due to lack of manpower. After all, as long as there are enough talented people, even an exhaustive list can produce some results.
Compared with the many secrets and special uses of the Rubik's Cube itself, the Rubik's Cube Matrix is not a high priority, so when Yang Sikang was talking to Anjie, he didn't have time to ask this question before the conversation ended.
But the knowledge that Angel gave him also allowed him to make some guesses, so Yang Sikang believed that as long as the Bermuda Islands could be completed smoothly, he should have a high probability of having the opportunity to meet someone from the Metaverse through the special facility of the Marine Fisheries Research Institute.
It would be great if I could meet Dr. Osta...
He is very interested in how Osta created the Siren!
However, Yu Zhang obviously did not agree with what Yang Sikang said at the moment.
"The progress of the research and development of the Rubik's Cube Matrix is very poor. It is very difficult to complete it successfully, and we are not even sure whether it can be completed in the end. Instead of putting our hopes on this technology that may not be available, wouldn't it be better to retain the armor layer that is more helpful for the current situation and reduce the structure of the energy protection layer to reduce costs?"
“But scalability is different.”
Yang Sikang said:
"From the current perspective, although we can reduce one of the two, and the energy protection will be unable to cover at full power for a long time, it will be easier to improve in the future. The frequency of high-level sirens and good Richard's appearances has decreased. Although we don't know what they are doing behind the scenes, it is also a good opportunity for us to develop, isn't it?"
One of the reasons why Yang Sikang is confident is that he and the Siren have already reached a cooperation in targeting the good guy Richard. Now the good guy Richard has not come out to cause trouble, but it also means that she will definitely cause something big next time she comes out.
At that time, the Siren would at least inform him. After all, right now, the only one who has the ability to cooperate with the Siren on an equal footing to fight against the good guy Richard is Yang Sikang.
It’s a pity that the Sirens were equally hostile towards him, otherwise Yang Sikang would have wanted to talk to the Observer directly to see if he could get some clues about the Rubik’s Cube Matrix.
But now the Siren and the good Richard are very strange, both sides seem to have disappeared. The Siren is fine, the fixed agencies in various places are still functioning normally, and the mass-produced Siren ships that cannot defeat Yang Sikang's fleet are still enough to deal with other commanders.
But the good Richard seemed to have completely disappeared, and even the infected ships under her command were nowhere to be found.
Yang Sikang is not one of those cartoon protagonists who can't sit still and go looking for trouble when they encounter stability. He knows very well that neither the Siren nor the good man Richard can really disappear because neither side has achieved their own goals.
Instead of improving yourself to the maximum extent possible while you are safe, you actively seek out their traces and end your development period early?
He could never do such a stupid thing!
Seeing the two Yubari discussing with each other and obviously not happy about it, Yang Sikang said helplessly:
"The main cost of manufacturing a complete armor layer is the synthetic material, which is not only a monetary cost, but also a high time cost."
Yang Sikang had no choice but to resort to this move. After all, his plan was more inclined towards future ship upgrades, while Yubari placed more emphasis on combat capabilities that could be put into use immediately.
However, the only issue that Yubari, as a researcher, cannot avoid is the time cost.
Sure enough, although they understood why Yang Sikang said this, the two Yubari looked at each other and nodded in agreement with Yang Sikang's plan.
"Then, let's follow this state."
Yang Sikang reached out and removed the armor layer of synthetic material from the projection, then made adjustments to the parts that had been discussed previously one by one, and soon a projection of a finished ship appeared in front of the three people.
"That's about it. Remove the armor layer, keep the core functional area, reduce the number of anti-ship missiles, and replace them with high-performance main guns."
Yang Sikang is unable to equip each mass-produced ship with dozens of anti-ship missile launchers, and the cost is too high.
The most important thing is that mass-produced ships without his control are at risk of being invaded, and he does not want to cause irreversible consequences by installing anti-ship missile launchers on them.
After some introductions, the three of them reached a consensus and made some minor changes to the details...
In Yang Sikang's development dock, the three docks and the production lines in the production area started working at the same time!
