Chapter 280 Endeavor Enterprise Sorry for the late post
"This is an intercity spacecraft for the general public, dedicated to the interior of the planet, or to and from neighboring planets. According to the Star Alliance regulations, these spacecraft cannot be equipped with weapons..."
"This is an enhanced version of the intercity spacecraft. Although it is not equipped with a weapon system, in order to prevent some unexpected situations, it is specially equipped with the kn331 energy shield produced by the Carmen Group."
"This is a combat spacecraft used for interstellar escort. The power system and firepower system are separated. In addition to the energy cover, it is also equipped with seven Thor cannons produced by Armsbon."
"This is a small transport spacecraft that can participate in the development of mining stars or be converted into a large intercity shuttle..."
While talking, Wang Dong and the two walked towards the interior of the shipyard again.
Along the way, I saw Wang Dong looking at the various types of spaceships parked on the pier, seeming to be quite interested in each one.
Little Repke took the trouble to introduce them one by one.
This was a person introduced by Lombard himself. There was no need to know more about it. Little Repke knew that the "King" must be the same as those big customers in the past...
Although his shipyard also accepts orders from outside, it is the orders from a group of large customers headed by Lombard that support the main business here.
Although the orders from those people are not consecutive, as long as an order comes, most of the time, it must be a planet-level spacecraft.
Different levels have different prices.
Settled in Oren coins, an ordinary intercity spaceship costs at most a hundred thousand, while a finished planet-class spacecraft costs at least tens of billions.
Although the source energy ball, optical brain, and hyperspace communication device all need to be specially ordered from specific channels.
However, basically as long as he receives an order from a big customer, he can sustain it leisurely and easily even if the place does not open for two or three years.
"After all, it is a third-level technological civilization."
"It's just a private shipyard. The quality here is no worse than that of TL Group."
"And here, he can also customize planetary-level spaceships, and even has finished products in stock... In this regard, I am afraid that even TL Group cannot match him."
While watching and listening to the introduction, Wang Dong nodded from time to time and felt a little emotional in his heart.
The gap between civilizations at different levels is indeed too great, and... it is a gap in all fields and aspects.
In the Blue Sea Star Alliance and the Earth Kingdom, the TL Group is a super group with monopoly power in all high-tech aspects.
In the Oren Star Alliance, although it has some unique technologies, the essence of Repke Company is still just a small privately owned shipyard.
However, if we look at spacecraft construction alone, I am afraid that even the huge TL Group cannot compare with this "small" shipyard.
“To a certain extent, TL Group represents the technological level of the Blue Sea Star Alliance.
This level is almost a symbol of the second-level scientific and technological civilization.
In other words, after a few years, when the technologies I selected are completely transformed into the kingdom's technologies... our technological level in related fields will be at a similar level."
"There is no higher level of technological openness within the alliance. If we want to make a leap forward in science and technology... at least in the Southern Cross Alliance, it is almost impossible."
"Introducing relevant companies into the Kingdom, or maintaining close contact with them, and then learning and understanding their technology from the side, this should be the path that the Kingdom must take in the future..."
As his thoughts circulated, Wang Dong had already followed Little Repke through the dock and entered a huge underground construction site.
In the center of the construction site is a huge metal frame.
With columns and beams as the main body, the frame is divided into dozens or hundreds of independent spaces.
The spaces are large and small, seemingly chaotic, but integrated into a whole, and at a glance, there is a strange melody...
Around the metal frame, there were hundreds of figures coming and going, constantly adding or modifying some structures on it.
All figures are intelligent robots, and only intelligent robots can minimize the data error.
Of course, they are to reduce errors. The structure and drawings of the spacecraft come from Repke Jr.
"This is the internal structure of the Endeavor. It is similar to Lord Lombard's Ebony Fleet. They are both based on the Covenant's standard battleships and were improved by my father."
Two spaceships customized by Wang Dong.
One is a planet-class spacecraft about the same size as the Bird. In his imagination, the main purpose of this spacecraft is for commercial use, traveling between the Earth Kingdom and other member states of the alliance. It can also pick up and drop off when needed.
Once upon a time, the elite geniuses were selected by the "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference" and went to Suangxing for "further training".
Therefore, he named this spaceship "Endeavour" to encourage all people in the kingdom to continue to make progress in various fields.
There is another one, which is about the same size as the Alliance's standard planet-class motherships.
In the future, if the kingdom develops a resident star or a resource star outside, it can use it to station some fleets there at any time. If necessary, it can also temporarily serve as a large transport spacecraft.
In addition, it is also the responsibility of this spacecraft to launch interstellar exploration into the outer space of the solar system and the star fields around the solar system.
This was customized for the Earth Kingdom, so Wang Dong named it "Enterprise" in the hope that the Kingdom would always maintain its enterprising spirit.
The frame in front of me is obviously not a mothership-level "Enterprise".
Little Repke brought up the virtual light screen and showed the appearance of the "Endeavor" and some key points in front of Wang Dong, while continuing to explain: "If the planetary battleships like the Covenant adopt dual power systems, they will
The utilization efficiency of the energy ball is approximately between 55% and 65%.
The general utilization efficiency of the spacecraft we developed has reached over 70%.
This, in addition to allowing faster speeds when traveling across space.
The source energy main guns and energy shields matched by the spacecraft are also slightly higher than those of ordinary battleships..."
After pondering, Wang Dong nodded slowly.
Although I don’t understand some terminology, it is difficult to understand the functions of these structures. However, the meaning of Xiao Repke’s words is quite straightforward.
There are also two first-level energy balls. In unit time, Repke's spacecraft releases a lot more effective energy than ordinary battleships.
What best embodies the word "effective" is naturally the space span that cannot be continuously replenished by the source energy, and the strongest power of the main gun after the energy is pushed to the limit...
"Mr. Repke will take care of these things. I won't interfere randomly, but it will cause trouble for you."
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Dong smiled lightly and said: "I only have two small suggestions about the Endeavor."
"Please tell me." Little Repke nodded.
"One is in the shape of a ship."
Wang Dong said: "Without affecting efficiency, I hope that Endeavor, including Enterprise, can move closer to our style as much as possible..."
As he spoke, Zhi Nao also unfolded the virtual light screen. The general appearance of the Earth Kingdom's aircraft was quickly revealed.
primary.
Too elementary.
As an expert in the development of space vehicles, little Repke could roughly judge the level of scientific and technological civilization of the Earth Kingdom with just two eyes... This should not have completely entered space!
But these are not problems. The spaceship travels in space, and there are no special requirements for the shape of the ship. If aesthetics is not considered, it does not matter whether the lines are smooth or not...
Nodding again, little Repke smiled and said: "No problem, I will try to keep the same style as them."
"The other one is the weapons system."
Wang Dong nodded and continued: "In addition to the main guns, I hope that the firepower network of the spacecraft can be like the Bird and Bingqin, equipped with special rotating muzzles to cover all 360-degree space."
The rotating muzzle is a source energy cannon with a core and multiple outlets.
To put it simply, under the control of the optical brain, it can select any point in a circular wheel as the muzzle to blast out the strongest firepower.
You can also select a few points, or even the entire plane, to sweep across a wide range.
Although at present, the power of this kind of rotating gun cannot catch up with ordinary naval guns.
However, considering its shooting efficiency in conjunction with the optical brain... using it to assist the main gun has gradually become popular for personal spacecraft.
"No problem. I have frequent contacts with the Raytheon Group. They have recently launched a rotating gun. The test results are better than those currently equipped by the Bird."
Little Repke nodded again. Although he is not involved in the arms industry, because of his business, he often has dealings with regular arms groups...
"Haha, then please do everything."
Smiling and thanking him, Wang Dong continued: "The requirements of the Enterprise are similar to it.
However, if possible, I hope that some micro-defense weapons that are directly controlled by the optical brain can be added to the interior of the Enterprise..."
Adding defensive weapons internally... This requires consideration of issues such as the endurance of the internal structure.
He frowned slightly and thought for a moment. Little Repke did not nod, but did not refuse, and said: "The special nature of source energy weapons, without affecting the hull, the position of these micro defense weapons must be selected.
In certain places... it's hard to generalize."
"It's fine if there's less, as long as it doesn't affect efficiency, everything is up to Mr. Repke."
Wang Dong nodded, then smiled and asked: "At the current speed, when will I be able to receive the spacecraft?"
"The main frame of the Endeavor is almost complete. Including the construction of the power cabin, the equipment of the optical brain and hyperspace communication device, and the installation of various weapon systems, it should be completed within two months."
Repke Jr. replied: "The Enterprise will be a little slower, but if there are no accidents, it can still be tested in four months at most."
It takes two months on the Oron star, and almost half a year on the earth... Wang Dong thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then I will come back to visit you in two months.
By the way, Mr. Repke, are you interested in going to my little place to take a look and walk around..."
(Today my relatives came to pay New Year greetings. They just came out after a busy day...
The first chapter will be tomorrow, maybe a little later, but it should still be chapter 2)
