Chapter 369 Lucky Find
Tang Guo and the others were very excited. After two days of wandering around, they finally had some harvest.
The wreckage of the spaceship ahead is very large, at least one kilometer in length. Judging from its appearance, this should be a large-class battleship, probably a planet-destroyer.
”I hope the equipment inside is still intact.”
Tang Guo looked at the main screen with anticipation. On the main screen, two warlord spaceships quickly flew to the distance, quickly reaching the location of the broken spaceship.
After reaching the spaceship, two mechanical arms protruded from the two warlord spaceships, then grabbed the edge of the huge battleship wreckage. Along with the sound of roaring engines, the two warlord spaceships dragged the broken battleship back.
The back of the cargo ship’s slowly opened, and a huge mechanical arm stretched out, directly dragging the broken battleship inside.
Tang Guo quickly walked outside of the command room. She is going to see what kind of devices are in that broken battleship.
”Dr. He, did you find something? Is there anything there that is useful to us.”
Tang Guo quickly walked to the wreckage of the battleship. A lot of people are already gathered around it at the moment, all wearing white uniforms, one by one. Is inspecting the broken battleship.
These groups of people are the scientific and technological researchers who came to assist Tang Guo in her mission. Their job is to determine the usefulness of the equipment in the battleship wreckage and dismantle it.
The material used to make the broken battleship is a special alloy, which has not only high durability but also a strong hardness. However, in radiation-filled environments like space, no matter how strong a material is, it’s bound to get damaged.
Fortunately, the situation inside is much better.
They started to use some cutting devices to disassemble the wreckage of the battleship, then gradually disassembled the instrument inside.
”Commander Tang, Our luck is very good this time.”
Dr. He is a middle-aged man in his early forties. He looked at the instruments that are being carried out of the battleship with a look of excitement.
“This is definitely A Planet-Destroyer battleship”
”Not counting the missing half. In this wreck alone, there are 15 turbo laser cannons in it, 10 of which are damaged, but maybe we can try to repair them.”
The more he talked, the more excited Dr. He became.
”With so many turbo laser cannons, we can dismantle and research them more boldly.”
Turbo laser cannons, aka the planet-destroyer cannons, are a technology that the Federation never managed to make
The major reason why they were able to make the hyperspace engine so soon is that they have the foundation of the wormhole technology. Both of these technologies are quite similar, making it much easier to study and copy the hyperspace engine.
Even so, their hyperspace engine is miles away from that of the SkyRiver Empire.
As for the turbo laser cannons, they don’t have the basic framework nor the foundation to make it. They did manage to get some weak turbo laser cannons, but their number is too small. They usually treat them as treasures, no daring to disassemble and analyze them, but now they can finally start to do so.
The only high-tech technology that they have managed to understand is the energy shield, allowing them to create their own.
Tang Guo was also very excited. Even if they are unable to produce new turbo lasers, for the time being, this batch of turbo lasers they got could be used directly.
”Unfortunately, the power plant of this starship has been destroyed. Otherwise, we could have taken a look at the power plant of a planet-destroyer spaceship.”
Dr. He had a look of regret on his face, but he quickly regained his excitement.
”Command Tang, turbo laser cannons weren’t our only discovery on this battleship wreckage, we also got a Traction beam generator.”
”This time we’re very lucky. Let’s go to other places to see if we can find similar battleship wreckage.”
”Yeah.”
Tang Guo nodded with a satisfied look, then returned to the command room. She couldn’t help but rejoice. The Federation can only be considered a mid-level civilization in the Milky Way. They are too weak compared to the powerful civilizations.
Their most powerful weapon was only a super laser cannon, which is just a basic configuration on powerful battleships.
Their other advanced technologies, such as the energy shield and the hyperspace engine cannot be mass-produced.
So, after getting the fifteen turbo laser cannons, Tang Guo was a bit relieved.
Tang Guo and her team continued moving forward. On their way, they kept sending out electromagnetic waves to map out the surroundings and looked very any battleship wrecks. In fact, this behavior is very dangerous. It’s the same as proclaiming their position in space.
If they encounter some mercenaries or evil-hearted people, they might take Tang Guo and her crew as a hunting target.
Unfortunately, they don’t have any other way out; If they don’t use the mapping device, they can only rely on pure luck. Who knows how long it will take to find a battleship wreck at that time.
”It would be great if Ouroboros was here.”
Tang Guo thought internally.
If there is that big guy. They can act much more confidently. They can even arrogantly use the mapping device to send electromagnetic waves on a wider range, without caring about anyone targeting them.
In fact, they can even go to the center of the folded space to compete for the many spaceship wreckages there
As long as they don’t conflict with SkyRiver Empire, then with the giant serpent present, they aren’t afraid of any other fleet.
Tang Guo and her crew continued sneaking around cautiously. Another three days have passed, during which Tang Guo’s fleet had a great harvest. It seems that luck was on their side this time.
However, most of them are the wreckages of small battleships, even space fighters. Many of the wreckages of these space fighters are nothing more than scrap iron. After all, space fighters are relatively small. Usually, after getting hit, most of their body gets destroyed.
However, They still found a space fighter that was relatively intact. In fact, it was almost in pristine condition. Tang Guo’s crew even found the corpse of the pilot inside the space fighter.
According to Dr. He’s guess, this space fighter should have been locked by the enemy’s traction beam.
It should have broken free of the traction beam in the end, but its flight system was damaged, making it unable to move in space. In the end, unable to even send a distressed signal, the pilot died in despair in this space fighter.
This space fighter is very valuable. Many of the internal equipment is structurally sound, which will provide great help to the Federation to build high-quality space fighters.
After this short joy, Tang Guo and her fleet continued searching around.
Five days later, they didn’t have any other substantial harvest. All of the wreckage they found was that of space fighters and ones that were completely destroyed, leaving behind scrap iron.
Tang Guo was troubled. She needed to make a decision again. There are two options, that is to give up and return to the “Red Sun” base now, or to take the risk and go inside the central area to compete with the powerful teams for the more precious spaceships.
”Dr. He, Let’s go back to the base for now”
Tang Guo and Dr. He discussed this matter.
”We don’t have the qualification to compete with the teams in the central area with our current military power.”
After saying this, Tang Guo shook her head with a helpless and unwilling expression.
