Chapter 1388: Chapter 547 Space Battleship_2 Chapter 1388: Chapter 547 Space Battleship_2 Yan Fei said, “Can you draw on their technology?”

Yang Qi said, “Every technology on Dream Island has been validated by our technology extrapolation system, we have not taken any detours, so our technological development is the right path. However, the future technology contains many innovative scientific research ideas that can inspire me, greatly benefiting the technological development of Dream Island.”

After discussing the topic of future technology, Yan Fei asked another question: “I asked you to design a space battleship capable of flying and engaging in combat in space, how is that design coming along?”

Previously, for Drone Upgrades, Yan Fei could find an Upgrade Template on Earth each time, so there was no need to worry about how the Drone could be upgraded. All he needed to do was select an Upgrade Template and scan its internal structure. However, when the Drone reached Level 6, Earth no longer possessed any flying vehicle templates that could facilitate further Drone Upgrades.

The shape of the Level 5 Drone was that of a B2 Stealth Bomber, the most advanced fighter jet on Earth, and no more advanced airplanes could be found on the planet. Therefore, when the Drone upgraded again, its Upgrade Template would definitely not be a terrestrial fighter jet. Otherwise, even if the Drone were to upgrade again, the great limitations of the Upgrade Template's strength would prevent a significant leap in its combat power.

Considering the magnitude of the strength increase from the Drone's past few upgrades, Yan Fei was almost certain that a Level 6 Drone would definitely be able to leave Earth and engage in combat in space. However, there are currently no such spacecraft on Earth that could leave the atmosphere and fight in space. Even the mysterious aircraft from The United States of America, which could fire energy cannons and laser weapons, could only fly within Earth's atmosphere, unable to venture into space.

For the Drone to continue upgrading, not only must the upgrade conditions be met, but also the Drone Upgrade Template issue must be resolved. The upgrade conditions for the Drone are simple; with effort from Yan Fei and a bit of luck, they can be easily fulfilled. However, the Upgrade Template is more troublesome, because there are simply no such Templates available on Earth. Therefore, Yan Fei decided to start from scratch and design a space battleship himself, then use this space battleship as the Upgrade Template when upgrading the Drone, so that it would assume the form of this battleship after upgrading.

Designing a space battleship is something Yan Fei cannot do on his own, so he entrusted this challenging task to Yang Qi. Of course, this space battleship need only be designed, not actually produced. As long as the manufacturing technology involved in the battleship is feasible, the Drone's mysterious power during the upgrade will be able to materialize the battleship.

Although Yang Qi is a super genius, he had never researched space battleships, and even for him, conjuring up a space battleship design from nothing was impossible. Fortunately, Yan Fei had previously discovered a crashed flying vehicle in an underground cave in Africa. This aircraft was massive and clearly possessed outer space flight capabilities; it was an authentic space-faring vehicle. Although it had crashed and only half of its body remained, this half revealed to Yan Fei the basic appearance and functions that a space-faring vehicle should possess.

At that time, Yan Fei had filmed this aircraft, recording all its various details. With these recorded data, Yang Qi could analyze them and possibly design an actual space battleship based on them. Furthermore, Yan Fei had collected many fragments of the aircraft, and Yang Qi had already studied these pieces, mastering the material technology contained within, though still unable to produce them, he had developed mature manufacturing processes.

Besides the crashed aircraft in Africa, there was also a maintenance training course for space battleships on the Small Space Data Disk acquired in the small space. Although there were no specific Design Plans for a space battleship, the reverse engineering of the maintenance training course still enabled Yang Qi to grasp some aspects of the overall structure of a space battleship.

Even though Yang Qi had obtained so much data, they still seemed like a drop in the bucket when it came to designing a space battleship. Fortunately, with the help of the Artificial Intelligence “Dream,” under Yang Qi's control, “Dream” appeared on the World Network, collecting a massive amount of human ideas about space battleships, even including settings from novels that Yang Qi borrowed extensively.

Yang Qi then possessed the imagination of the entire human society regarding space battleships, even though much of this imagination was unreliable; at least there were ideas that could inspire him. Combined with some of the data and information obtained from the crashed flying vehicle and the Small Space Data Disk, Yang Qi already had the foundation for designing a space battleship. As one of the greatest scientists in human history, with these imaginative insights and data, he had found the breakthrough point and was about to help Yan Fei design an unprecedented space battleship in human history.

Of course, Yang Qi was only responsible for designing the space battleship, regardless of whether it could actually be produced. For example, in Yang Qi's preliminary concept, this space battleship would use nuclear fusion as its energy source. Yang Qi already had very mature theories on controllable nuclear fusion technology, which had been validated and affirmed by the technology extrapolation system. However, with the current level of technology on Earth, it was impossible to produce a fusion engine due to the lack of many necessary pieces of equipment, and even Yan Fei's mini-production workshop for drones wouldn't suffice.

Also, in Yang Qi's design, this space battleship would use Quantum Radar as its detection tool. Regarding quantum technology, the entire world was still in basic research, without specific applications yet, but Yang Qi proposed many quantum technology application ideas that had been affirmed by the technology extrapolation system, including Quantum Radar.

Although Yang Qi knew how Quantum Radar worked and had produced it theoretically, it couldn't be produced in reality due to other basic sciences being too far behind and the lack of necessary manufacturing equipment. Similarly, many other components of the space battleship face the same issue; they are technically verified but cannot be produced.

However, Yan Fei did not need to produce this space battleship; he just needed to produce its technology and manufacturing process and then input these technologies into the Drone Assisted Intelligent Brain. When the drone upgrades, these technologies would serve as templates to materialize the space battleship directly. Yan Fei had never experienced such an upgrade method before, but he felt this might become a standard operation for drone upgrades in the future. It was definitely worth trying unless he could find a more advanced space battleship in reality.

Yang Qi had taken on this task for quite a long time and had achieved some results. Now that Yan Fei was inquiring, he immediately described the design progress: “You asked me to make the space battleship as advanced as possible, possessing supreme combat power. Therefore, I mobilized the entire laboratory's strength, coupled with the Super Photon Computer and Artificial Intelligence, using previously obtained data and various materials, and I have completed the external design of the space battleship.”

Yang Qi, through “Dream,” projected the appearance of a space battleship in front of Yan Fei using Dream Island's latest laser projection technology, which had reached a nearly realistic level. Yan Fei saw the space battleship floating in mid-air and felt a sense of admiration; the battleship was spindle-shaped, oozing a science fiction vibe.

Yan Fei fiddled with the space battleship projection, and it changed orientation with his gestures, allowing him to see it from different angles. Yan Fei asked, “How is the internal design of the space battleship?”

Yang Qi replied, “Your requirements are very demanding. You require every piece of technology inside, even if it cannot be immediately produced, to be validated by the technology extrapolation system. Therefore, we are making slow progress on the design of various devices inside. Up to now, the overall completion progress is still less than 80%, most of which are living support systems that already exist on Earth. However, the designs for the large-scale nuclear fusion engine, quantum computer for the battleship's control center, and Quantum Radar System have been completed. The remaining 20%, including the entire weapon system, constitute the core parts of the space battleship, and they are difficult challenges. We are still tackling the technologies supporting these core components, and it may take a long time to complete them all.”
