The huge mechanical arm easily lifted a thick armor plate in the vacuum environment, and then moved it to the position where it should appear.
The welding robot used fine-tuning thrusters to adjust its body, and finally the welding gun was aimed at the edge of the steel plate.
A dazzling light flashed, and the steel plate was fixed on the steel frame. At the same time, a robot was already painting numbers on the steel plate, marking the functions of the surrounding openings.
The tubular hatch produced from other factories was pushed directly into the spacecraft being built by another robotic arm. At the same time, various lines were laid tirelessly by the puppet robot.
The Exploration 1 space destroyer on the side is as small as a child next to this huge battleship.
In the gap in the outer armor of the spacecraft that has not yet been completely closed, a strictly protected nuclear fusion reactor can be vaguely seen.
Those donut-like ring-shaped devices occupy most of the battleship's hull. Like battleships on the sea, the power room always takes up a lot of space inside the battleship.
In order to ensure these power units, there are countless cabins that need to be fixedly installed inside the battleship, and more armor steel plates need to be laid.
At the same time, this kind of warship also uses thicker armor than a destroyer, and uses the latest metallurgical technology to strengthen the external armor.
The bridge, as tall as a building, was hoisted directly above the battleship, where several engineers in spacesuits were supervising the entire connection project.
Right in front of this huge battleship, the barrel of a 1000 mm caliber heavy electromagnetic gun is being hoisted. This super caliber electromagnetic gun is a super main gun specially designed for this kind of space battleship.
It can easily tear through magic defense barriers and penetrate any obstacles blocking the way. When bombarding the surface of the planet, it can have the terrifying effect of the rod of the gods.
It can be said that this new type of battleship main gun is completely like a walking staff of the gods. It can easily suppress ground attacks and destroy the resistance on the surface of the planet.
And such a terrifying weapon is still not the most powerful strike weapon on the violent space cruiser. Because this cruiser is also equipped with a magic laser cannon.
Use the energy of magic to form constraints, release the energy provided by the nuclear fusion reactor, complete the energy accumulation and release in an instant, and achieve the most impressive destruction effect.
Although this weapon still cannot destroy a planet at once, it can be fired continuously, and the effect is better than the torpedoes carried on the Discovery-class destroyers.
With this kind of weapon, the Violent-class cruiser can not fall behind when facing three or even five Exploration-level 2 space destroyers. This is the fundamental reason why the Space Fleet Command advocates large ships and huge guns.
Because a magic laser cannon is installed on the bow of the ship, the appearance of this cruiser cannot be regarded as streamlined. In order to accommodate related equipment, the bow of the Violent-class space cruiser is thicker than the middle hull.
The tail of the battleship has to accommodate the propeller and jump engine, so it has returned to its sturdy appearance - so, except for the towering bridge, the body of the Violent-class space cruiser is thick at both ends and slender in the middle.
.
As a brand new battleship, the Violence-class cruiser is equipped with three fusion reactors, which can power all weapons on the battleship and charge the jump engine.
Therefore, the Violent-class cruiser is equipped with a more energy-consuming jump engine, which can jump farther distances at one time and reduce the number of space jumps.
The benefits are of course too many - it can be reinforced to farther places, has a larger radius of activity, and has faster movement speed.
Therefore, this new battleship was named a space cruiser, which is essentially different from a destroyer.
Because battleships have more functions and more equipment, the number of crew members on such battleships is also larger. Most of them use puppet robots, and a small number of commanders trained by various races are used.
The new battleship is undoubtedly the new intermediate force of the Airansil Empire Space Fleet, and will also greatly enhance the combat capabilities of the Airansil Empire Space Fleet.
"It's really an ugly battleship." Looking at the huge battleship being built, Master Merian sighed with emotion.
Yesterday, he had already seen a violent-class space cruiser being built and handed over to the Space Force for trial sailing before leaving the military port.
In the past two days, because the scale of the war on Planet Hope 2 has begun to escalate, the shipbuilding plan of the Space Fleet has also been accelerated to an unprecedented extent.
It used to take dozens of days to build an exploration level 2 space destroyer, but now it only takes less than 2 days to complete.
If the production capacity is fully activated, the space army will even have ships waiting for people - because training a captain is much more difficult than building a space battleship.
There is no way, after all, in some areas, stubbornness is still a bottleneck that hinders development: Ailan Hill does not allow demons to command space battleships, puppets are not allowed to command space battleships, and magicians in certain areas are not allowed to command space battleships alone...
…
The violent space cruiser is indeed not good-looking. In a sense, it is just a monster made of a bunch of weapons and a bunch of power systems.
However, due to the improvement of weapons and power systems, it gave the Airanthil Empire's space fleet the ability to conduct long-distance interstellar warfare for the first time.
"If it weren't for the war on Planet 2, the Violent Level wouldn't have been approved for construction so quickly, right?" the adjutant said with a smile.
"Yeah, if it hadn't been for the sudden war, maybe the level of violence wouldn't have appeared." Master Merian sighed with emotion.
He was one of the few who knew about the accumulation of the Imperial Battleship Design Bureau - the original plan was to build only one Violent-class ship, which would later be improved to the Violent-class 2 and begin mass construction.
The Violent Level 2 cruiser will be more mature, more powerful in firepower, larger in size, and more like a super space battleship in the new era.
However, because of the outbreak of the war, the Elanshir Empire ordered 30 violent Tier 1 cruisers from all shipyards at once, which left more shadows of ugly warships in the long history.
"However, this is a good opportunity to bring out the old and bring out the new." Merian continued: "If it were not for the war, the production capacity of exploring the level 1 destroyers would not be transferred to the violent level 1 cruisers... We might build more,
Let’s explore the junk of a Tier 1 space destroyer.”
"Yes, compared to exploring the Level 1 space destroyer, the Violent Level 1... is obviously a better choice." The adjutant also nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
