My Clone Empire

"That's right! By removing those useless devices on the drone, the cost of each drone will be reduced to an astonishing level!" Tang Shizhe nodded approvingly.

"Boss, I made an estimate, and there is another method that can reduce the cost of drones to a higher degree. I don't know if you are interested!" Core Intelligence asked carefully and softly.

"I'm definitely interested! What method?" Tang Shizhe's eyes lit up. If the cost can be further reduced, he can flood the enemy's fleet with a sea of ​​drones!

"That's using nano-active metals to build these drones!"

"According to the records in Section C, Item 10, Sub-item 359 of the Science and Technology Library, Titan Group's Materials Laboratory has researched nano-active metals for mass industrial manufacturing."

"Strictly speaking, this kind of metal is a kind of nano-robots. They can devour metals and assimilate the devoured metals into a part of themselves, so as to continuously grow new materials. Of course, the stronger the metal, these nano-robots devour metals. The slower it is, the slower it will generate new materials!"

"As long as we set the shape of the material in advance, we can make cheap materials in large quantities by letting these nanorobots eat metal by themselves!"

"But there is a problem, that is, the strength of the material produced by this nanorobot is one-third of the normal production method!"

"That is to say, if this kind of nanorobots are used to produce drones, the armor of these drones will be weakened by one-third!"

"But! The cost per frame will be reduced to 50 grams of energy fluid!"

"The construction cost of a mercury-star destroyer can build 180,000 mining drones!" Titan core intelligence said hesitantly.

Tang Shizhe's eyes lit up again, 50 grams of energy liquid! Such a cheap drone has met his needs! As for things like protection strength, anyway, these drones are disposable consumables. No matter how strong the armor is, if they are hit by the enemy's ship-borne air defense weapons, it will be a word "explosion".

It's better to cut costs and produce more drones at the same price!

"This mining drone can be used for more than that, we can add nano-active metal storage compartments to it!"

"When a drone destroys a battleship, it is completely possible to release nano-robots in this battleship, directly decompose the destroyed battleship into materials on the spot, and use it to manufacture more drones after the war!"

"This kind of mining drone with a simple structure can be manufactured with only ordinary production lines.

We could totally build a mother ship to carry the production line! "Tang Shizhe stroked his chin and thought, if what he said is feasible, Titan Group will produce another blockbuster product!"

A few minutes later, the factories in the market planet system stopped the construction of all destroyers.

These half-built destroyers will be transformed into drone motherships carrying drones.

And the parts production line that was stopped began to produce the parts needed for the drone.

With the presence of nano-active metals, the production time of a mining drone only takes as little as two hours!

More than 70% of the parts on each drone have been replaced with nano-active metals, and only a few parts that cannot be replaced or require extremely high strength retain the original manufacturing method.

Because these drones have added nano-robot storage bins, more powerful thrusters and biological computers, the production cost of each drone has increased to 100 grams of energy fluid, and the construction cost of each destroyer will be able to produce 90,000 Mining Drones!

What an astonishing number this is. Although each drone is only five meters long, a crowd of 90,000 drones is enough to cover the entire sky!

"We have prepared liquid fuel engines for drones. Although this will increase the size of the mothership and reduce the frequency of drone fleet dispatches, it can greatly reduce their cost."

"The liquid fuel carried in each drone is enough for them to fly for 12 hours, and the energy fluid in each drone is enough for their drills to work for 24 hours."

"If a mothership is filled with fuel, it is enough for these drones to refuel ten times!"

"Anyway, these drones are almost disposable, and this weakening will not affect their combat capabilities too much! And ten times is enough to guarantee the amount used in a war!"

"Because of the limitation of the size of the destroyer, each converted mothership can only accommodate 10,000 drones." The holographic projections of several designers stood in front of Tang Shizhe and reported.

"That's it! Start full production immediately!" Tang Shizhe waved his hands indifferently. Now is not the time to perfect these drones. The time left for the Titan Group is only about 130 days. They must produce enough drones as soon as possible. Ranganda Capital Galaxy Go!

On the other side of the battlefield.

A thousand Shengyi destroyers have been assembled, enclosing all the Mercury-class destroyers around the battlefield.

"Look at these poor clowns, their weapons can't even penetrate the armor of our battleship!" The black bishop looked at the hammer cannon shells on the screen that were bounced off by the armor of the battleship with a mocking look.

Although these armors did not feel well after being hit, a huge dent appeared in the place where they were hit, but they were not penetrated after all, and the battleship did not suffer any serious damage!

"It's time to end this ridiculous war!" In the flagship of the church hiding in the asteroid belt tens of thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, the black bishop wearing a black robe and a high hat stuck his scepter in the In the groove in the floor in front of you.

"The angelic fleet obeys the order! The holy light cannon fires!" The bishop roared.

The apostles on the side still stared at the screen in front of them without changing their faces after hearing these words, as if the church warships that would be destroyed by the holy light cannon in a while were not their comrades in arms and companions,

A salvo of thousands of piercing holy light cannons will not only destroy the surrounded Mercury-star destroyers, but also destroy the church warships mixed together! They were all aware of this, but none of them were moved by it, as if sacrificing one's companions was such a common thing.

Amidst the desperate eyes of the soldiers of the Principality Fleet and the high-energy response siren sounding from the battleship, a thousand beams of light instantly penetrated the Mercury-class destroyer on the battlefield.

After penetrating these destroyers, the power of these light beams did not decrease at all, and they directly penetrated into the two fleets in the melee in the center of the battlefield!

Groups of fireballs kept flashing on the battlefield. These constantly sweeping holy light cannons cut each warship into several pieces, and the explosion caused by the reactor explosion directly took away these seriously injured warships!

"It turns out that your souls can rest in peace!" The bishop in black sighed as he looked at the exploding church warship on the battlefield expressionlessly.
