1148, Battleship Review (Part 2)
Gali-Ulan is still spending his days in the meeting hall of the Republic Ship Supervision Committee, watching the nonsense-like deliberations and the number of orders that pierce his heart like a sharp knife.
The Quat Power Dockyard has finally entered a critical stage, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser!
This is the most important link, because the Galactic Republic spends hundreds of billions on the Jaeger-class battlecruiser every year!
In order to show his attention, the Speaker of the Galactic Republic, Sheev Palpatine, also attended the meeting in person today to observe the review of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser.
The review of the Jaeger class will be much more careful.
"First of all, we need to confirm that the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is indeed a very classic and powerful battleship." The chairman of the Ship Supervision Committee seems to like to put the word 'classic' on Kuart's battleship."
What we can see is that the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is essentially an aviation battleship, with a maximum carrying capacity of 420 aircraft. However, with such an amazing carrying capacity, it still ensures strong firepower and maneuverability.
and protection.”
He opened a list of data, "In the early exchanges with the Separatist fleet, the Jaeger-class battlecruisers can form a very obvious advantage when facing the opponent's Generosity-class communications frigates, Defiant-class light destroyers and other main battleships. Separation
Only the rare and expensive Shenyi-class destroyers can compete with it."
"But no matter how classic the design is, it will be limited by the development of the war situation. After the emergence of the separatist Cole-class battlecruisers and Behemoth-class battlecruisers, they posed a very huge threat to the Jaeger-class. And these two types
The common characteristics of battleships are..." The president turned on the holographic projection, which projected three-view cross-sections of the Cole-class and Behemoth-class. The Cole-class cross-section was very detailed, while the Behemoth-class had only a few sections.
row data.
"...They all possess a very powerful, but slow-charging super main gun." The president continued, "The Cole-class large electromagnetic gun and the Behemoth-class Yamato cannon are even more powerful than those they have ever seen.
The Titan battleship Plague also has a super electromagnetic gun... This can be seen as a direction in the design of the warships of the separatist forces."
Sheev Palpatine looked serious and said: "In other words, the Separatism...well, the Dawn Planet and the Fourth Group are Cole-class and Behemoth-class developed specifically to target the weaknesses of the Jaeger-class?"
"Yes, judging from the recent air battle in the Umbrea galaxy, this weakness of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser has been infinitely magnified, and it is almost impossible to effectively resist when facing the Behemoth-class battlecruiser.
"said the president.
In her seat at the Quat Power Dockyard, chief battleship designer Lila Blissex stood up, bowed to Palpatine, and then said, "Let me answer this question."
Palpatine nodded.
"The main reason why the Jaeger-class is at a disadvantage when facing the Cole-class and Behemoth-class is the difference in design ideas between the two. The Jaeger-class is not a simple battleship. At the beginning of the design,
It is designed with the purpose of "suppressing a planet with a single ship". Therefore, the Jaeger-class is equipped with marines and vehicles, and has the capacity of up to 420 fighter jets... According to the super matter we currently produce
In terms of the power of the reactor, maintaining the warship at about 1,000 meters is the optimal solution, and this size is also the best size to enter the atmosphere, so we have done a lot of work..."
Lila opened the three-dimensional view of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser and showed the internal structure of the battleship. "The hangar, energy system and cargo warehouse inside the Jaeger-class battlecruiser take up a lot of space, and there is also a preset legion."
The command center can support an entire legion's operations on the planet. Under such circumstances, the Jaeger-level still maintains very good firepower and shields..."
Gary Ulan curled his lips. This arrogant woman started bragging about her design again. Oh no, who said it was her design? It was clearly her father's design! Her father, Willix Blisser
Max is the real designer of the Jaeger-class, able to pack so many things into a battleship and make the battleship meet the requirements of almost all combat situations.
This is definitely not something that this woman with her head full of vanity and fame and fortune can do!
It was for the same reason that their father and daughter broke up, and their father, Willix Blissex, came to Rendily.
But now seeing Lila Blissex boasting endlessly about the Jaeger-level and treating it as her own achievement, Gary Ulan just sneered in his heart.
"I just want to know something more crucial, Miss Lila." Palpatine said with a smile, but there was no room for doubt in his words.
The corners of Galli Ulan's mouth turned up slightly, and it seemed that the Speaker had the same view.
It's just that the difference is... opinions are opinions, and practices are practices. My father has always told himself to treat the speaker with caution. He is not really an easy person to deal with.
"...The biggest weakness of the Jaeger-class is that the space inside the ship is very compact, and almost every inch of the space is used. Therefore, the Jaeger-class has only a single layer of armor. Even though our materials and technology have allowed the Jaeger-class armor to withstand the same
The level turbolaser cannon fires directly, but if the armor is penetrated, the Jaeger-level will immediately suffer a fatal blow." Lila said.
Palpatine nodded thoughtfully, "So the reason why the Jaeger class is so vulnerable when facing the Cole class and the Behemoth class is because the main guns of these two battleships only need one shot. The Jaeger class only needs one shot."
Was he paralyzed immediately?"
"To be more specific, it was directly destroyed. Of course, this does not deny the classic design of the Jaeger-class." The chairman of the Ship Supervision Committee continued.
Lila Blissex nodded and said: "Yes, the Jaeger-class only has a single layer of armor, and almost no explosion-proof compartments, so as long as the armor is penetrated, every one within the scope of the explosion will be counted.
, will cause functional damage. Moreover, in the face of the spreading flames, the Jaeger-class interior also lacks sufficient insulation and buffering. There have been previous battles where the cabin next to the energy core caught fire, which directly caused the energy core to explode.
"
"So, is there a solution?" Palpatine asked.
Lila shook her head and said: "This is a design problem that cannot be solved. The design of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser needs to take into account too many aspects, and it is completely comprehensive. Such a design will make the Jaeger-class battlecruiser no longer possible.
Room for upgrades.”
It's not that you can't, it's that you have no way to modify your father's design! Gary Ulan looked at it coldly.
"Of course, our Quat Power Shipyard has sufficient plans for this. This is... the Knight-class Star Destroyer (tector-class
star
destroyer)!" Lila Blissex said.
