The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 10 Research Projects
10. Research projects

The CF/A-17 Ghost fighter is the main fighter of the Terran Empire in "StarCraft".

Tang Xiao also discovered that the CF/A-17 Ghost fighter that can be researched and manufactured now is only the initial model, and has not been equipped with pulsed lasers for ground attack.

But no matter what, the Ghost is an excellent fighter that can fight in the atmosphere and the universe at the same time, and in the "StarCraft" plot is also proven in the war with the Protoss and the Zerg.

And the later models of this fighter will also be equipped with a stealth system, making it a truly terrifying killer-stealth fighter!

Although the technology system of the mothership now belongs to "Homeland", in order to build a ghost fighter, the gap between production technology and technology between "Homeland" and "StarCraft" must be overcome, but Tang Xiao believes that this difficulty must be overcome!

As a technology product of the human system, the resources needed to digest and analyze the technology of the Terran Empire in "StarCraft" should still be under control.

Seeing that the manager had made up his mind, Qi Jian did not continue to entangle.As a subordinate, he needs to put forward his opinions and concerns, and then let Tang Xiao make a decision.Now all he had left was obedience.

Tang Xiao called Daphne Clement and asked, "In the warehouse of the mothership, is there a modular building of the Engineering Research Institute? How large is it?"

Clement replied: "Considering the dangers of engineering research and many experiments that require a lot of space, the mothership carries a modular scientific research space station. It can accommodate about 200 experts in Experiments and research are carried out there.”

"Give the people in the engineering department an order to immediately start building this engineering research space station, preferably starting today!" Tang Xiao ordered.

"Yes!"

Tang Xiao opened the character awakening database of the mothership and began to search for suitable candidates in it.Among the elite, he found three engineering specialists, awakened them and called them to the bridge.

The three experts, two women and one man, were all between 30 and 40 years old. When they saw Tang Xiao, they saluted respectfully, and the leading female expert said, "Hello manager. My name is Guan Yan, an energy expert. This is Dr. Feng Yongwang, an expert in mechanics, and this is Dr. Qu Xuewen, an expert in materials science."

Tang Xiao was also polite and gave them a task directly, "I need to start research on two projects at the same time, one is the infrared laser weapon, and the other is this kind of research - the CF/A-17 ghost fighter. What conditions are needed? , I will try my best to be satisfied.”

Guan Yan frowned for a while and said: "Research on infrared laser weapons... This requires a physics laboratory. It is best to equip me with at least 20 people majoring in physics. But this fighter..."

She handed the data to the male expert, "What do you think? Dr. Feng."

Feng Yongwang with glasses looked at the ghost fighter and shook his head slightly, "There are many technological systems in it that are different from ours. Although it is not impossible to overcome this problem, it may take longer. Dr. Qu and I Come on, let’s do some preparatory work first, the initial staffing doesn’t need to be too much, 5 mechanical majors are enough. After that, I will put forward more personnel and material requirements one after another.”

"What about the time?" Tang Xiao asked.

"The complete data is here, so the research and application of infrared laser weapons should be completed within one month." Dr. Guan Yan replied.

"It's hard to say about the ghost fighter. Although the data is very complete, it will take a year to analyze it to the extent that we can use it and produce it. It would be nice if there were experts from the master class to lead my team. With more and better talents joining in, our research progress will be greatly improved." Feng Yongwang said.

"I will fully cooperate with personnel and materials. Let's start work first. It's hard for you." Tang Xiao nodded and said.

"Where is it, manager. You are the one at the helm, and we only need to do our job well. It should be us thanking you." Qu Xuewen said to Tang Xiao with a smile.

"I will make a list of requirements." Guan Yan said.

No matter where you are, scientific research is a labor-intensive, money-consuming and time-consuming activity... Seeing the long list of supplies constantly appearing on the screen, Tang Xiao kept a smile on the surface, but his heart was bleeding.

Now the colony has finally started to improve, and there are some material reserves, and now it is all thrown to the scientific research team.

……

The outer ring of the Milky Way, the Western Territory, the Model Sector, and the hyperspace.

"I'm about to leave the hyperspace jump, it's time to wake up, dear." On a disc-shaped Corellian YT-1000 light spacecraft, a human woman who controlled the spacecraft said to the pilot next to it.

Dozing in the driver's seat was a man in his 30s. He shook his head and said, "I'm really starting to miss Corellia's sparkling wine. After finishing this order, I have to go home and have a good night's sleep. Feel, um, at least three days."

"The Corellian galaxy is not a place where people like us can live, Quinto. I prefer it now, free and unfettered." The woman walked over and kissed her lover's forehead.

"The damned machine has a problem again!" There was an angry curse from the rear cabin, and then there was a thud. Someone must have kicked the machine, and then a Rodian came out.

The Rodian looks like an upright seahorse, with bulging eyes without lids, and mouthparts protruding like straws.This is a hunting nation. Even if they joined the Galactic Republic and entered the interstellar era, they are more engaged in the work of bounty hunters.

"What happened? Spade." Quinto asked back.

"Ah, it's not a big problem, it's just death. Felasi, you should be able to see the seventh indicator light on your left flashing abnormally, right?" The Rodian said angrily.

The woman looked back and suddenly shouted, "My God! The hyperspace diverter didn't respond! How could this happen!!" She hurriedly operated on the console for a while, but it was useless.

"Well, now we can only pray that we won't be torn apart when we leave the hyperspace." Spade spread his hands and sat on the ground in resignation.

"Hyperspace shunts are there to protect us from being torn apart by physical phenomena when we leave hyperspace, and if this thing fails, it's impossible for us to start a hyperspace jump. So, now if it weren't for our eight-life luck If something goes wrong during the jump, it's..." Quinto didn't finish his sentence, and the spaceship left the hyperspace.

If you look outside, you will see that the spacecraft appears in space almost instantly from nothing.

After a violent shaking, they finally stabilized the ship.Quinto looked at the behemoth that appeared in front of him and murmured, "That's man-made..."

"Spirit of Karaya... What is this!!" Felicity was stunned when he saw the horror in front of him.

It can be seen on the radar that a giant moon-shaped spacecraft is slowly moving in the synchronous orbit of the planet.The ship was so huge that when they looked through the porthole of their YT-1000 light ship, all they could see was an endless wall of metal!
