The current missiles are still too large, and even the Soryu battleship can only hold 16 rounds.
Although it is said that the size of the battleship can be expanded to increase the volume.
But this is a real reversal. The fleet design is too large, entirely because the technology integration is not in place, and large parts can only be used instead, which is not only bloated but also inefficient.
Achieving optimal configuration within a suitable hull size is the advancement of warship technology.
"The emergence of the GTS250 missile can increase the warship's bomb load by an order of magnitude, allowing it to carry out more targeted attacks during combat."
"At the same time, the utilization rate of the missile bay has been improved, which has increased the total blast damage that the warship can cause."
A number of data were displayed in front of Chu Hua simply and clearly, which also proved that the gts250 series missiles are not the youth version of the gt610.
Its locking radius, flight time, explosion range, sailing speed... are all lower than those of gt610.
And after being reduced in size by 5 times, it can still have 250 points of blast damage, which makes the two missile launch bays of the Ikaruga cruiser useful again, which is very good.
Chu Hua looked at the data and nodded with satisfaction. Missile bombing was never the main method of combat.
He knows that with the improvement of everyone's armor and shield technology, as well as the upgrade of point defense missile systems.
If it is not unexpected, the damage it can cause is quite limited.
Not to mention the armor and shields of the Soryu battleship, the point defense weapons it carries, under the lock of the sensor, can intercept incoming missiles with just a few rounds of strafing without spending much resources, and make the opponent's bombing fail.
Therefore, what deserves attention is not the power of the missile, but the ability to hit it is really important.
Making missile attacks routine, rather than one-shot, would be more advantageous for ship-to-ship engagements.
"When will this thing be online?"
"How many GTS250 series missiles can one warship carry?"
Chu Hua asked.
"For the Ikaruga cruiser, it's 30 pieces, and for the Soryu battleship, it's about 80 pieces."
"It is no longer a problem to go online. It has now been added to the arms production line. All the warships need to do is return to the dock to load the new missile launch bay."
"Thanks to the reduction in the size of the missile, the new missile launcher hatch is no longer a single hatch, but has been changed to a triple hatch, which can launch three missiles at a time."
Tina used the Soryu battleship to demonstrate the shape of the new missile launch bay.
The closed armored ejection hatch has a square missile bay protruding from it. Three missiles protrude from the three holes and are then launched together.
Chu Hua nodded with satisfaction again. Looking at the demonstration screen, he suddenly thought, how spectacular would it be if hundreds of warships launched missiles at the same time?
This is not impossible.
And interestingly, the cost of the gts250 series missiles is basically the same as that of the gt210 series. This is the benefit brought by technological progress.
"With the advancement of materials science, in addition to gts250, we also have a new series of torpedoes."
Tina drew another explosive weapon, which was similar in size to the GT610 series missiles.
"Although torpedoes are not very useful for ship combat now, they are still very useful against star bases or units that sail too slowly."
"The power of the newly developed torpedo has reached about 2400 points, and the model has been upgraded to HD2400."
"HD2400..." Chu Hua was also a little surprised when he saw the data of the new torpedo. If it hit an ordinary cruiser, it would basically be gone.
Even the Soryu battleship is a bit difficult to resist, and at the very least the armor will be damaged.
"Then let's take a look at the optimization of the machine gun..."
More than an hour passed quickly.
The ship technology project was briefly summarized in Tina’s explanation.
The equipment of the Daxia fleet has indeed been updated a lot, including the recharge efficiency of the turrets, increased laser frequency, armor strength, etc. However, the main focus is on optimization, with slight improvements based on the original ones.
The research and development of new weapons and equipment is not that simple, and it is impossible to produce new powerful weapons every time.
After Tina took a short break, it was the last big project's turn.
It is also an item that Chu Hua is very interested in.
【Wormhole】
"After our long-term comparison and detection, we finally successfully discovered the existence of a wormhole in the Huadu Galaxy."
The Huadu galaxy is located in the southwest of Daxia, 7 jumping points away from the main star. It has an uncolonized and habitable planet with many strange flower species, hence the name Huadu.
An image of the starry sky unfolded, and Tina slowly enlarged it.
Soon, the more the deep sky scene was enlarged, the more obvious the distortion became.
Next to it is a Daxia exploration ship. In comparison, it looks like a basketball falling on the corner of the basketball court.
The wormhole is not that big.
After measurement, the diameter is only 5 kilometers, which is completely incomparable with the magnificent black hole. From a distance, the wormhole is like the background of deep space, and there is no difference at all. Only when you are close enough can you clearly see the difference.
Of course, this is also related to the sensor capabilities of the exploration ship.
Speaking of this wormhole alone, it took more than twenty days to scan using probe scanning technology to determine its location.
"Can we take advantage of it already?"
Chu Hua was amazed when he saw the wormhole. It was obviously a hole, but it looked like a ball, as if someone had dropped a glass bead in the starry sky.
According to the assumptions of many scientists, wormholes can span long distances across galaxies and reach unknown places, which is almost the same as a direct jump.
Tina shook her head, "Unfortunately, we can only achieve stable detection now."
"However, the Stargate Technology Chain directly gave us the relevant answers, and the wormhole test project is ready."
"During this period, we will successively send special devices into the wormhole to try to establish a complete connection."
……..
Tina's analysis and explanation gave Chu Hua a deeper understanding of wormholes, and fully affirmed the Academy of Sciences' research.
"We must explore the other side of the wormhole. This is not only related to the construction of the Huadu colonial planet, but also the security of Daxia."
Chu Hua gave important instructions. The discovery of the wormhole was indeed a surprise, but not knowing where it was connected was a bit unsettling. Moreover, it was still within Daxia, so I had to pay more attention.
"Of course it will. According to the current progress, we will complete the wormhole-related projects in about six months. By then, the ship should be able to directly enter the wormhole."
[Wormhole] There are still too many uncertainties in the project, and Tina doesn’t want to break away from empty talk about data.
After reporting this, this meeting should be almost over.
"Huh~"
Tina breathed a sigh of relief, "These are the main projects being carried out recently. Does your Majesty have anything else to ask?"
Chu Hua thought for a while and finally shook his head, "Okay, let's do this for now."
In fact, he has some ideas about trade between empires, especially the various types of transactions in the galactic market.
However, after thinking about it, he decided to wait for Cortana to return from the Lanxi Empire before discussing this in detail.
After completing the task, Tina put down the tablet in her hand and raised her hands.
"Okay, now it's time for Allen to report on his recent project status..."
