Chapter 389: Na'vi Heavy Cavalry

It only took Liu Xiu three months to sell out the 50,000 carbon nanotube composite bows and corresponding arrows he brought, which also shows the Na'vi people's love for bows and arrows.

Of course, the price of 200 kilograms of superconducting ore for each of the 50,000 carbon nanotube composite bows and the corresponding arrows also allowed Liu Xiu to exchange for nearly 20,000 tons of ore.

In fact, if the Na'vi people's speed had not been so slow, Liu Xiu could have sold it even faster. There was no other way. Although these Na'vi people's mounts were hexagonal horses, their fastest running speed could even reach 150 kilometers per hour, far exceeding the horses on the wandering blue planet.

But animals are not machines after all. It's like a car wandering on the blue planet. Ordinary cars such as Wuling have a maximum speed of only 150 kilometers per hour.

However, cars can maintain this speed for dozens of hours without any problem. However, even the hexagonal horses on Pandora can only maintain a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, which is already very impressive. A maximum of 300 to 400 kilometers a day is already very impressive.

Therefore, and precisely because of this, coupled with the need to obtain ore for Liu Xiu and the others, it took three months to sell all 50,000 super compound bows.

Therefore, although it took a little longer to sell, it was by no means a saturated market. Based on the nearly 10 million Na'vi population on Pandora, Liu Xiu estimated that the demand for his super compound bows would reach at least 5 million, or even more.

"How is it going? Have you achieved any results in the purification of superconducting ore, superconducting energy storage, and supporting high-power electromagnetic weapons and laser weapons?"

When Liu Xiu returned with a ship loaded with 20,000 tons of superconducting ore, the first thing he did was to find Liu Qi to ask him about his research on the refining and application of superconducting ore. After all, before Liu Xiu left, he gave Liu Qi the hundreds of tons of superconducting ore he brought back when he first returned for research.

There was no other way. After all, Liu Xiu was alone, so it was already very good if he could produce a hundred tons of superconducting ore in ten years.

Liu Qi did not disappoint Liu Xiu. When Liu Xiu asked, he nodded and said:
"It's all done. The extraction of superconducting ore is very simple and not much different from ordinary ore extraction. And superconducting energy storage has been thoroughly studied! The critical current value of the high-temperature superconductor extracted from the superconducting ore on Pandora is very high, so it can store more electrical energy during superconducting energy storage, allowing laser weapons and electromagnetic weapons to release more electrical energy instantly!"

Liu Xiu naturally understood what Liu Qi said about the superconducting critical current. Although superconductors are conductors with zero resistance, as conductors with zero resistance, they should be able to carry unlimited current. However, the actual situation is that the current that superconductors can carry also has an upper limit.

This upper limit is actually related to the materials of these superconductors. Superconductors made of different materials have different critical currents.

The high-temperature superconducting critical current of Pandora is obviously much larger than the low-temperature superconducting critical current discovered on the Wandering Blue Star. Therefore, its power will naturally have a qualitative leap when used to manufacture weapons.

So Liu Xiu nodded and said:
"Well done, Liu Qi. However, the most important task of Liu Qi Research Institute now is to transform the superconductors of Pandora into real combat power. Therefore, I need you to design a space fighter based on fusion energy as soon as possible to deal with the alien fleet that is about to arrive! Of course, in addition to this, the first thing to solve now is to get me a few nuclear fusion energy transport ships to solve the problem of superconducting ore transportation!"

That’s right, the maximum cargo capacity of Liu Xiu’s Explorer spacecraft is actually only 20,000 tons. It is precisely because of this that Liu Xiu set the price of the super compound bow at 200 kilograms of superconducting ore per bow.

Otherwise, Liu Xiu felt that even two tons of ore would be bought by the Na'vi people, let alone two hundred kilograms. However, once the demand for ore increased, it would be difficult for the Na'vi people to transport and collect it.

At the same time, it was also to prevent Jack from feeling that he was cheating the Na'vi.

After all, if it really is two tons of ore, a bow, and metal arrows, then the Na'vi will really become Liu Xiu's miners. After having room-temperature superconductors, the problem of miniaturization of nuclear fusion reactors is also easily solved. Therefore, in just two months, ten transport spacecraft with a load capacity of 100,000 tons and anti-gravity takeoff capabilities will naturally appear.

Their purpose is naturally to transport the superconducting ore obtained from the trade on Pandora back to the Wandering Blue Planet, and then have it undergo deep processing in the factories on the Wandering Blue Planet, and finally become superconducting materials for various key parts of space fighters.

Of course, the transaction went very smoothly this time. With the passage of time and the exchanges between the various tribes, the Na'vi people on the entire Pandora now know that the aliens are selling a very powerful bow and arrow, and these bows and arrows only require two hundred kilograms of stone.

Although these stones are not ordinary stones, but the kind of stones floating on the floating mountains, the Na'vi people, who are very persistent in pursuing bows and arrows, have prepared these stones early and are waiting for the next arrival of the aliens.

However, as Liu Xiu started selling the super compound bow, other species of creatures on Pandora were in trouble. For example, Su Tai, who had always been unwilling to regard Jack as a rival in love, started fighting the most ferocious animal on land, the hammer-headed thunder beast.

That’s right, the Hammerheaded Thunder Beast is the super-heavy land creature that easily knocked over and trampled the alien humans’ mechas during the previous battle with the alien humans.

This land creature originally had thick skin on its body, so the original wooden bows and arrows of the Na'vi had no effect on it at all.

But now it has been replaced with a super compound bow, and the arrows it shoots are nearly ten times more powerful than before. Each arrow is equivalent to a large-caliber armor-piercing bullet.

So when Su Tai shot an arrow through the hind leg of a hammer-headed thunder beast, indicating that he could easily kill them, the hammer-headed thunder beast naturally surrendered.

So when Su Tai successfully established a connection with the synapses of the hammer-headed thunder beast using his own synapses, the hammer-headed thunder beast was naturally subdued by Su Tai, the Na'vi.

After simply treating the wound on the hammer-headed thunder beast's leg with herbs, the hammer-headed thunder beast became Su Tai's mount.

Thus, Sutai successfully transformed from a light cavalry riding heavily armored horses to a heavy cavalry riding hammer-headed ultralisks.

You should know that although the heavy armored horse is called a heavy armored horse, the armor on its body is not as thick and strong as that of the hammer-headed thunder beast.

The entire head and back of the Hammerheaded Thunder Beast are covered with a thick bone layer. Not to mention ordinary bows and arrows, even super compound bows cannot penetrate it. Small-caliber firearms are just like tickling. It is estimated that only heavy artillery can penetrate it.

Therefore, although the speed of the Hammerhead Ultralisk is not as fast as that of the Heavy Armored Horse, the effect of charging on the front battlefield is far beyond the reach of the Heavy Armored Horse.

The most direct example is that in the previous battle against Miles on the ground, the heavy armored horse charge was easily defeated, while the hammer-headed thunder beast's attack could easily break through the ground mecha's defense line.
