The scene when 28 heavy-duty conversion beam cannons fired a salvo was very shocking. The entire area seemed to be caught in a nova explosion. The huge Tyranid Siren couldn't withstand even one blow, and most of its body was gone. The wreckage
Rolling in the fading light.
Bangura of Ulan Huda has repeatedly hinted that he hopes Soshiyan can get this weapon from the Hearthborn. Although the Adeptus Mechanicus also has conversion beam weapons, they are not at the shipboard level. The biggest one is the troll.
The conversion beam cannon of the super knight is also extremely difficult to make, and the failure rate and scrap rate are very high.
According to Bangura, there are serious deficiencies in human technology that make it difficult to build, complex to use, requiring skilled calibration to operate, and requiring a dedicated plasma reactor core system to power it.
Because the operating mechanism of this weapon is to eject a line of antimatter particles that have been bombarded by neutrons, and immediately start an atomic chain reaction, converting any positive matter that the antimatter comes into contact with into an equal amount of energy, and destroy the target with a fiery annihilation explosion.
, but the antimatter beam itself is very dangerous and must be extremely stable and precise to achieve the killing effect without endangering friendly forces. Therefore, the conversion beam weapons manufactured by the Mechanicus cannot be used while moving.
The Furnaces seem to have a very complete technology tree. Their conversion beam weapons are not only very large, but also very safe and can be used on the move. Adeptus Mechanicus from all over the world have actually been coveting this technology for many years.
But how could Soshyan take such a risk?
Besides, skills are not so easy to steal. Once or twice is fine, but if there are too many, the other party is not a fool. In the end, it is nothing more than a slap in the face.
In addition to the heavy conversion beam cannon, the high-energy beam array of the Longbeard class is also very fierce, and it is deployed on the four sides of the "sleeve", which means that it can attack enemies in all directions without turning. In addition, the Longbeard class can attack enemies at close range.
There is also a very powerful weapon at mid-range, the triple heavy ion beam cannon. They are deployed in the middle of the ship. There are a total of four large turrets and 12 heavy ion beam cannons. They can fire long beams of plasma instead of common ions.
The body mass can cause horrific damage at mid-range, and can penetrate the carapace of the Tyranid Hive Mothership with one strike.
Soshyan looked at the hive ship that led the invasion of Westeros IV on the battlefield, but was immediately shot into three pieces by three Longbeard-class ships in two salvos.
With this kind of lethality, without turning on the void shield, most of the existing warships in the empire should not be able to withstand a precise salvo from the Nagasu class. The firepower of this "armed troop carrier" has undoubtedly reached the top level.
Battleship level.
But this is not the most powerful warship in the Great Thorian mercenary fleet, because they are followed by two warships, the Hammer class and the Butcher class, the most powerful and rarest among the Hearthborn warships. These two models
Only the most powerful business alliances in the Wotan Federation have the financial resources to build and maintain them. Among them, the Hammer class is a very typical Wotan warship. The hull is thick and solid, full of power but not so angular. Its armaments
It is similar to the Nagasu class, but there is a huge main gun at the bow. This main gun also penetrates two-thirds of the battleship's hull. It is Wotan's ultimate naval main gun, the plasma destroyer.
It is the same main shaft gun as the Abyss-class. However, the Hammer-class is less than half the length of the Abyss-class, but it can fit this terrifying giant gun inside, which shows the exquisite internal design and superb technology of the ship.
Compared with the Hammer class, the Butcher class is longer and is basically the longest military ship in Wotan. It can be roughly divided into three sections, namely the front warhead, where the spine turrets and laser arrays are distributed, and the middle section is very
Unique, it is a ring embedded in the hull. This configuration forms a huge contrast with the mainstream compact design of Wotan ships, and this ring located in the middle of the hull is the real weapon of the Butcher class, because it is powerful
The launcher of the huge "Vengeance Oath Heavy Missile". This large anti-ship missile is still a mystery to this day. Soshyan can only guess that it is probably some kind of plasma super-fast missile. As for why extra unsafe off-ship missiles are added
Soshyan also doesn't understand the launcher, because it can easily become a defensive weakness, and the rear of the hull is where the power section and the bridge command center are located.
Generally speaking, in terms of direct firepower, the Butcher class is not as good as the Hammer class, or even the Longbeard class, and the defense does not seem to be very good, but the Walker clan leader said that it is a powerful battleship, and the article is obviously about missiles
Already.
But along the way, the Butcher-class missiles were not launched. It only used artillery for long-distance support. I don't know if it was to hide its strength.
As for the last ones in the fleet, they are naturally the Warrior class and the Ranger class.
Although the number of Great Thorian's mercenary fleet was not large, its firepower was really amazing. It actually killed a Tyranid fleet that tried to attack Westeros IV, and quickly attacked Westeros V.
near.
"Sir, strange communication request."
"catch."
When Soshyan walked to the communication panel, there were ripples in the air, and soon a big and generous face appeared. He had thick braided hair and beard, a big and honest nose, and bright eyes.
God, his appearance is such that one can tell he is a furnace descendant regardless of his height.
"Hello, respected Chapter Master Soshyan Alexei, I am Barak Byrno, the special captain of the Great Thorian Alliance. According to the military employment contract you signed with the alliance, I and my Wavebreaker
(Hammer-class) and other ships, as well as all ship personnel, fighter aircraft and other equipment will serve you and obey your command and arrangements."
The Iron Oath of the Wotan Federation does not have a clear military rank system, including their fleet, so distinguishing who is a commander mainly depends on rank. Special captains generally serve as commanders of the huge Iron Oath combined fleet.
It can be said that Great Sorian sent their fleet commander with the most experience in commanding and the best record.
Obviously, what they value is not the money from military employment orders, but the extremely lucrative profits from the Ada handicraft trade.
"You arrived just in time, Commander Byrno."
Soshyan glanced at the tactical instrument and continued;
"Before launching the official operation, we must first evacuate the population from the two planets, so I hope you can lead the fleet to defend Westeros 4 first, wait until the evacuation is completed on the 5th, and then transfer the population of the 4th
, Tyran’s attention will be drawn here later, and then we can launch an operation against the Sondheim System.”
There was no expression on Commander Hearthborn's face, he just nodded and said:
"It's all up to you, Chapter Master Soshyan Alexey."
