I handed over to another world

Zhang Fengwu hesitated for a moment, then replied: "President Chen, the construction cost of this 'Dawn' is indeed not low, but thanks to our latest developed upgraded version of the 'Dimension Constructor', the overall cost has been greatly reduced."

"Can the Dimension Constructor be used directly to build these super-large facilities?"

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows. He remembered that he had allowed a development team to use the patent number STC-5573-143 before. Its main purpose at that time was to stimulate the official development of the dimension constructor. Wang Yan's team had also cooperated with this special team.

"This is the latest revolutionary technology developed by our Red Dragon Association. It is a fast fictional construction device based on quantum mechanics and the principle of space folding. It can directly 'print' complex structures and materials in three-dimensional space through high-dimensional energy manipulation, directly transforming design drawings into physical objects, eliminating a large number of intermediate links in traditional manufacturing."

“In this way, we not only significantly shortened the construction time, but also greatly reduced the material and labor costs.”

Zhang Fengwu said with pride, "The main construction of the starship, which originally took several years to complete, can now be completed in just a few months."

"Moreover, the Dimension Constructor has extremely high precision and produces almost no waste, which further saves resources."

Chen Lin nodded, and then asked, "What is the specific construction cost of this 'Dawn'?"

Zhang Fengwu smiled and replied: "Due to the use of the Dimension Constructor, the construction cost of this starship is only about one percent of the traditional method... Specifically, the total cost of the Dawn is about 500 billion Red Dragon Coins."

"500 billion?"

Chen Lin was a little surprised. Although the number still sounded huge, considering the scale and technological content of the starship, the cost was already far lower than he expected.

"Yes, if there is no dimensional constructor, the cost of this starship may be as high as 50000 billion or even more, which is almost equivalent to a dozen aircraft carriers at the beginning - this is still calculated based on the current super economic strength of our entire Red Dragon Association."

Zhang Fengwu added, "Moreover, as the technology matures further, the construction cost of subsequent starships will continue to decline."

Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the application of this technology is crucial to the future development of our Red Dragon Association..."

"President Chen, would you like to go with me to take another look at the starship's combat system?"

"Does it fit?"

Zhang Fengwu immediately laughed: "What's inappropriate about this? President, please follow me."

He made a gesture and then led Chen Lin and his party towards the starship's combat command center.

The combat command center is located in the core area of ​​the starship, surrounded by various display screens and control consoles, and in the center is a huge holographic projection platform that displays the starship's weapon system and external environment in real time.

Zhang Fengwu pointed to the huge holographic projection platform at the front and introduced: "All weapon systems and defense systems will be controlled from here. We have equipped the Dawn with the most advanced weapon systems, including super-energy electromagnetic pulse cannons, particle beam weapons, test antimatter missiles, and our upgraded super quantum shield."

Chen Lin walked to the holographic projection table, reached out and gently touched the projection, and the starship's weapon system was immediately enlarged and displayed.

"How powerful is the super electromagnetic pulse cannon?"

"At present, the super-energy electromagnetic pulse cannon should be one of our most powerful weapons."

Zhang Fengwu explained, "It can release a huge electromagnetic pulse in an instant, destroying all electronic equipment of the enemy within range, and can even directly paralyze an entire space fleet. Its range reaches an astonishing 100 million kilometers, and it can cause a fatal blow to the enemy at almost any distance."

Chen Lin nodded and then asked, "Where are the particle beam weapons?"

"Particle beam weapons are a type of high-precision directed energy weapon."

Zhang Feng replied expressionlessly, "It can penetrate the enemy ship's protective layer in a very short time by firing high-speed particle beams, directly destroying its internal structure. Although its range is not as good as that of the electromagnetic pulse cannon, it is almost invincible in close combat."

"What about the antimatter missiles?"

"Antimatter missiles are our most destructive weapons. However, because we do not have advanced antimatter mining technology, this extremely destructive weapon can only be used for testing and cannot be used as a normal weapon."

Zhang Fengwu's tone was solemn. "Under normal circumstances, this weapon uses the annihilation reaction of antimatter and matter to produce a huge energy explosion to cause damage. Its power is enough to destroy a small planet."

"However, due to the difficulty in mining antimatter, as well as the dangers of storing and transporting it, we currently only use this weapon in the most extreme of circumstances, as a nuclear deterrent for the interstellar age."

"Well...it can also be called antimatter deterrence."

Chen Lin laughed immediately and said to Zhang Fengwu, "We still have to work hard on this. Time waits for no one. The sooner these cutting-edge technologies appear, the better. You have to know that there is a Night Alliance waiting for us outside."

"I understand, President Chen."

Zhang Fengwu nodded, looking serious.

"The quantum shield is the last line of defense for the starship. It uses the principle of quantum entanglement to form an invisible energy barrier around the starship, which can resist attacks from most energy weapons. Even if the shield is penetrated, it can repair itself in a very short time to ensure the safety of the starship."

Chen Lin nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Zhang Fengwu's introduction, but he still wanted to see the actual power of these weapons with his own eyes.

So he asked, "Director Zhang, has the power of these weapons been tested in practice? I want to see their performance with my own eyes."

Zhang Fengwu smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course, President Chen, we have conducted many tests at the Starship Weapons Range, and the data are very ideal. If you are interested, we can go to the range now to watch a live-fire test."

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

Chen Lin agreed without hesitation.

The group then left the combat command center and took the internal shuttle to the starship weapons range.

The shooting range is located at the tail of the starship. It is a huge enclosed space that simulates various cosmic environments, including asteroid belts, meteorite groups and extreme temperature areas.

After entering the shooting range, Chen Lin was immediately shocked by the scene before him - several huge targets were suspended in the center of the shooting range, some of which were metal structures simulating enemy starships, and some were models of asteroids.

The shooting range is surrounded by high-precision sensors and cameras to record data from every test.

"President Chen, let's test the super-energy electromagnetic pulse cannon first."

Zhang Fengwu walked to the console and entered a series of commands.

Then a target simulating an enemy starship in the center of the shooting range was activated and slowly moved to the testing area.

"Prepare to fire." Zhang Fengwu pressed the button, and the muzzle of the super electromagnetic pulse cannon slowly aimed at the target.

With a low hum, a dazzling blue light instantly lit up from the muzzle, and then a huge electromagnetic pulse hit the target at the speed of light.

Chen Lin looked through the protective glass and saw that the target had instantly lost all power under the impact of the electromagnetic pulse. All the electronic equipment inside was paralyzed, and even the lights on the target's surface went out instantly.

"This is the power of the super-energy electromagnetic pulse cannon."

Zhang Fengwu explained, "It can not only paralyze the electronic equipment of the enemy starship, but also destroy its internal energy system, making it completely incapable of combat."

Chen Lin nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Very good, it seems that this weapon will be very useful in actual combat."

Next, Zhang Fengwu demonstrated the test of the particle beam weapon to Chen Lin.

This time, the target was an alloy armor plate tens of meters thick, used to simulate the protective layer of an enemy starship.

"Prepare to fire the particle beam weapon."

Zhang Fengwu pressed the button again, and the launch port of the particle beam weapon was aimed at the target.

As an almost invisible beam of light flashed, a tiny hole with a diameter of less than one centimeter instantly appeared on the surface of the target, but the depth of the hole reached the other end of the target.

"The penetrating power of particle beam weapons is extremely strong. They can penetrate the enemy starship's protective layer in a very short time and directly destroy its internal structure."

Zhang Fengwu explained, "And it has extremely high accuracy. It can accurately strike key parts of enemy starships, such as energy cores or command centers."

Chen Lin was shocked and couldn't help asking, "What is the range of this weapon?"

"In the space environment, the effective range of particle beam weapons can reach 50 kilometers."

Zhang Fengwu replied, "Although its power will decrease at long distances, it is almost invincible in medium and short-range combat."

Chen Lin nodded and then asked, "What about the test of antimatter missiles? Has it been conducted?"

Zhang Fengwu hesitated for a moment, then replied: "We have only tested the antimatter missile once, because its power is too great, and the storage and transportation of antimatter are very dangerous... But if you are interested, we can show you a simulated test."

"Okay, let's take a look at the practice test."

Chen Lin nodded in agreement.

Zhang Fengwu immediately called up the simulation test footage of the antimatter missile.

In the picture, an antimatter missile was launched, targeting a model of an asteroid with a diameter of about 100 kilometers.

The missile detonated instantly after approaching the target, and the antimatter and matter underwent annihilation reaction, releasing huge amounts of energy. Chen Lin saw that the asteroid model was completely destroyed at the moment of the explosion, and even the fragments were evaporated by the high temperature. The entire target range shook violently under the impact of the simulated explosion, as if it had experienced a small earthquake.

"This is the power of antimatter missiles."

Zhang Fengwu explained, "It can destroy a small planet in an instant, and can even cause serious damage to a large planet... However, since antimatter is very difficult to obtain and store, we can only use it as a strategic deterrent weapon at present."

Chen Lin nodded, basically satisfied with the starship's weapon system.

He turned to Zhang Fengwu and said, "Director Zhang, your work is excellent. The power and performance of these weapons have exceeded my expectations."

"It's just that the enemies we face may be stronger than we imagined, especially the Night Alliance."

When mentioning the Night Alliance, Zhang Fengwu's expression also became serious.

In fact, he knew about the so-called Night Alliance. This super alliance was a union of advanced civilizations outside the solar system. Decades ago, they had sent advanced AI [Ellie] to contact the civilization of the Earth and taught the Red Dragon Association many technologies beyond reality.

Although the Night Alliance's attitude towards Earth is currently relatively friendly, no one can guarantee that they will not become the enemy of the Red Dragon Association in the future.

"President Chen, you are right."

Zhang Fengwu said in a deep voice, "The technology level of the Night Alliance is far superior to ours. We must speed up the research and development process to ensure that we will not fall behind in future encounters."

Chen Lin nodded, his eyes firm: "That's right, time waits for no one."

"We must master these cutting-edge technologies as quickly as possible to prepare for future interstellar wars."

Zhang Fengwu nodded solemnly and said, "It seems that we still have to ensure that the Red Dragon Association has an advantage in future interstellar competition..."

Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction: "You are very smart to realize this."

"The first contact between the Night Alliance and us was actually an accident. We discovered one of their exploration points on the Origin Star. We could also call it an observation post. The stealth technology of our combat aircraft actually came from this post."

He recalled the first time the Red Dragon Association discovered the Night Alliance's invisible building on the Stuttgart continent. Ding Yi was still very young at that time, and he and a group of warriors even accidentally entered the building. Only the equipment made by Ding Yi really worked on the building's stealth function.

Although it was safe in the end, Chen Lin could never forget the memory.

“It’s amazing…”

Zhang Fengwu was also a little absorbed in the matter. The Night Alliance was not top secret information within the association. In fact, many people knew about it. It was just that the Red Dragon Association had intentionally or unintentionally blocked the news at a certain stage. The main purpose was to allow the entire Red Dragon Association to develop technology rapidly. The top management of the Red Dragon Association did not want an unstable atmosphere to arise within the association.

For example, there are rumors that the Red Dragon Association’s technological developments were all rewards from advanced civilizations.

However, Zhang Fengwu did not know any other details about the Night Alliance. At this time, Ellie was just an ordinary teacher on Earth. He had even seen that woman before - she looked no different from humans on Earth.

"Ellie is currently the last surviving alien construct in our association."

Chen Lin suddenly sighed, "The previous Ai'an who was like her, the last survivor of the pioneers, died because of the problem of the black domain." (End of this chapter)
