Ruger-Schmon talked eloquently, "Currently we have not made a breakthrough in heavy-duty turbolaser cannons, but we already have some excess spacecraft energy. So if it is a battleship of the Conqueror-class size, actually
There are no suitable weapons to equip it, so both Kuat Power Shipyard and Rendili Interstellar Power Company have chosen a battleship size of about one thousand meters. This is because a battleship of this size can currently utilize energy and
The comparison of weapon power is optimized.”
Tang Xiao nodded, "In other words, from the perspective of the size development of battleships, we are now in a process from small to large?"
Ruger said: "You can say that, because in the past thousand years, battleships have become larger and larger, including the 2,500-meter Prosecutor-class, the 4,000-meter Judge-class and the 8,000-meter Commander-class.
The most extreme representative. However, with the development of energy technology, such a large battleship is no longer needed for the same gun power, so the size of the battleship is getting smaller and smaller. By the time the Invincible-class dreadnought has returned to the 2,000-meter level,
The current Jaeger-class is only 1,187 meters tall. The guns of these warships are about the same power, but the construction costs are very different."
"So the current continuous development of energy technology only lacks a technology to increase the power of naval guns. Once this problem is solved, will large warships appear in large numbers?" Tang Xiao was very interested.
"So this is my topic..." Ruger pointed around very proudly, "The Conqueror-class battleship solves this problem! You see..."
He began to take out a personal terminal full of various formulas, and it seemed that he was ready to lecture endlessly.
Count Dooku waved his hand and said, "Okay, as a professional, you can understand these things yourself."
"No, no, no, it's not a waste of time at all. Anyway, the battleship is in a stationary state. We first need to adjust the gravity generating device of the dock and synchronize it with the anti-gravity device of the Venom Fang before it can take off without causing any damage. This requires at least
20 minutes. You see, my design idea is completely epoch-making, and it can be said to have completely changed the current pattern of warship manufacturing..."
Seeing that Count Dooku still wanted to interrupt him, Tang Xiao said with a smile: "Forget it, idleness is idle anyway. Before this invincible battleship shows its power, it would be good to hear its power first."
Count Dooku didn't feel comfortable saying anything at this time, so he nodded, stood there, closed his eyes, and actually started meditating.
Seeing that someone was finally willing to listen to his great theory, Ruger-Schmeng ran over and put the screen of his personal terminal in front of Tang Xiao's eyes, and introduced endlessly: "You see...according to my theory
Research shows that when all spaceships are sailing, the super-matter engine actually undergoes an energy release process, and at least 30% of this overflowing energy is actually wasted. This is the energy backflow that troubles many engine designers (
bleeding back) phenomenon. Generally speaking, common spacecraft designs use discharge or heat rejection to release this energy, so as to avoid engine overheating, but this is a huge waste!"
He pointed at a set of formulas that looked like a heavenly book and kept talking in Tang Xiao's face, and talked about various theories eloquently, which was completely incomprehensible. Tang Xiao was a little speechless, and saw the corner of Count Dooku's mouth who was meditating beside him.
The trace of sarcastic smile that emerged showed that he must have been baptized like this before.
But even though he didn't understand, Tang Xiao was really interested, especially in the part that he understood. He could still understand that this was a way to improve the energy utilization efficiency of the spacecraft. He began to think about whether to use
This guy was poached.
But it is unlikely. Count Dooku is unwilling to listen to his boring theories, which does not mean that he does not value him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to entrust him with the construction of such a super battleship.
Over there, Ruger continued to talk, "...So, in order to utilize the returned energy, I designed an electromagnetic network to capture this energy using electromagnetic fields. And this captured energy... haha
Haha, you know what? This is the most wonderful thing, the energy itself is a powerful weapon, there is no need for me to build a super cannon!"
As Ruger continued to explain, the huge body of the Fang battleship had slowly risen from the dock. The huge mass caused the dock of thousands of square kilometers to constantly vibrate. When the battleship rose to a distance of 5,000 meters from the dock
After many kilometers, the engine output began to gradually increase, and finally broke away from the gravitational circle of the Parment planet, started the hyperspace engine, and disappeared directly.
"Where is our target?" Tang Xiao ignored Luger who was still talking about his theory, turned to Count Dooku and asked.
"Rishi. According to the communications we intercepted, the Republic has a fleet active there, destroying the Republic fleet in that direction and making them afraid to send another fleet near Hutt space." Count Dooku said coldly.
said.
Tang Xiao nodded.
The spacecraft sailed in the hyperspace channel for more than half an hour. After leaving the hyperspace, the countless lights outside suddenly disappeared and were replaced by a dark space.
While leaving hyperspace, the battleship's powerful detectors had already scanned the entire star field. On the holographic star map, Tang Xiao saw three Jaeger-class battlecruisers and about 10 frigates.
A half-built space station.
"Oh, hehehe... I originally planned to build an outpost here..." Count Dooku sneered, "Activate the electronic interference and kill them."
"Rer!" The B-1 combat robot controlling the battleship responded immediately.
Incomparably powerful electronic interference immediately enveloped the entire star field, and at the same time, the Republic's warships also discovered this huge warship.
"Unknown battleship discovered! Get ready for battle!!"
"Start the scanning device!"
"Oh my God! The scan shows the length of this battleship is 4825 meters!"
"Quick! Send an alert to the rear! We have encountered a separatist super battleship!"
"Communication failed! The other party launched electronic interference!"
"How is it possible! You can't even send out battleship-level communications?"
"Prepare to retreat! Be sure to take the news out!"
"Energy reaction detected! This... no... this is more than 700 times the power of our main gun!"
"Run!!!!"
On the bridge of the Fang, Count Dooku looked at the small fleet coldly and said lightly, "Focused direal ion pulse (Focused direal ion pulse), launch!"
