Chapter 801 (1/2)
their curiosity now is just because they don't know about alpha crystals.
If they know what the use of alpha crystals is, they won't wonder why Yesu paid so much attention to it.
for all the cosmic civilizations, alpha crystals are a very important and rare material.
Because this kind of thing is the necessary material for making mecha, only after having alpha crystal, can we make real mecha.
Now the humanoid armor made by Yesu, including Xingtian I, is a reduced version of mecha, so it can only be called humanoid armor, not the most advanced weapon in the universe.
Now the human armor that humans have can't do what a real mecha can do.
To measure whether a humanoid armor has reached the level of mecha.
One of the most important measures is whether we can fight in the space environment.
Only when it can maintain enough combat effectiveness in space can it be called a real mecha.
Because if you want to fight in space, the performance of mecha must reach a certain level, which is a test on the comprehensive performance of mecha.
If you want to fight freely in space, you need a lot of horse power to drive it.
In space, it's not like being on the ground. You can have a foothold to take advantage of.
Therefore, in the weightlessness environment in space, the lack of power mecha is very difficult to move, let alone fight.
If you want the mecha to have enough power, you must use a special engine to provide a lot of power for the mecha.
This kind of engine is called alpha engine. It needs alpha crystal to make it.
Although each alpha engine requires very few alpha crystals, it cannot be made without alpha crystals.
The power of the alpha engine is far from comparable to other engines, and the whole engine is small in size and weight.
This special engine is only the size of a human brain, but it can output very powerful power.
The power output per unit weight of the alpha engine is the highest engine in the whole universe, and no other engine can match it.
This is why the alpha engine is most suitable for powering the mecha.
It's not that only this kind of engine can provide the power needed by mecha.
It's just that the size and weight of the other engines are too large to be mounted on the mecha.
For example, the working fluid free Galaxy class engine used on the pioneer can output power as high as the alpha engine.
But the volume of the Galactic engine can't fit into the mecha.
The galaxy class engines on the pioneer are bigger than ordinary houses. It's impossible to install the mecha.
With the same horsepower output, the alpha engine is the size of a human head, while other engines are the size of a house.
The irreplaceable position of alpha engine is because of its high performance ratio.
If you want to make mecha, the ultimate weapon of war, play the most powerful combat effectiveness, you can't do without the alpha engine.
