Chapter 223 - 223 New War Preparedness (Part I)
After saying goodbye to Marvin, the head of state and his party drove the flying car to another research facility according to the schedule, but this research facility is larger than Marvin's. Occasionally, you can see the soldier's patrol somewhere, and you can see at a glance how much the empire attaches to it.
The head of state who got off the flying car entered the facility. There were all kinds of busy crowds. The bustling scene made people feel like they were in the downtown. These people were wearing scientific work clothes, or somewhere on a display board, or next to a pile of machinery, or near a large instrument, there was a heated discussion.
Another significant feature is that the dark circles under these people's eyes are really heavy, and it seems that they will have cardiac arrest the next second and suddenly die on the spot...
Seeing this, the F.O. sent a nearby guard.
"How long have they been asleep?"
"Frearch, it has been three mother days."
"Call the master for me, and the others will immediately get out of bed. This is the highest order."
"Yes!"
The guard immediately left, and then a group of soldiers poured in and took away the scientists who were still in heated discussion. They struggled to inject the sedative directly, completely ignoring the protests of these scientists.
After a while, a man trotted to the head of state panting all the way.
"Yuan...Ferre...you...you are coming..."
"Are you going to commit suicide collectively?"
After breathing down, the master finally stopped gasping for breath.
"Fier, everyone is fighting for the future of the empire. Although we can't fly warships, at least we can't lose to those soldiers fighting on the front line on our battlefield. Our technology is a little further, and one less warship on the battlefield can be damaged in the future, which is worth it."
"Then you are exhausted. Who are you going to take over the research project for you? You have also studied mathematics. Have you ever calculated how much time and cost it will take for the Empire to find someone to take over the research project, from unfamiliar to familiar, to absorb your research results and continue to specialize in research? historical
The Fate questioned in a cold voice, and the master was speechless.
"Report me on your research progress, and then get out of bed immediately."
"Yes!"
The master immediately saluted the head of state. Make a report.
"At present, a few strategic research projects have been preliminarily finalized, and the others are still in the theoretical category. The finalizations are bee-type bursts, modified long-range autonomous ships, cluster-type pulse radars, nano-mothers, and burst-type continuous oscillator."
"Let me introduce it to you from a simple beginning. First of all, I will add a modified long-range autonomous ship."
"Through the battle record, we found that neither the empire nor the enemy seem to be very good at dealing with small high-speed units in the universe. Once they are distanced, they will be in a hurry. The most fundamental reason is that the radar is not sensitive enough to capture small units coming from afar."
The head of state pondered for a moment and asked his own questions.
"But the size also limits the output of small units, so that they cannot play a greater strategic role, so the main force of the cosmic battlefield has always been large warships, because the weapons carried by small ships cannot break the defense system of large ships at one time."
"Yes, this is a strange circle. The larger the load of the warship, the more things it can carry. The stronger the defense, the stronger the firepower, but at the same time, the larger the target, the easier it is to be captured and aimed by the fire control radar from a long distance, so it will evolve into a situation of space queuing and shooting. For this reason, the tonnage of warships increases again and again to strengthen defense and fire. Power, the Imperial Mothership class was born.
"And small ships, such as destroyers, frigates, and even unmanned autonomous ships, have weak firepower, small load, and weak defense, but the damage on the battlefield often comes from the attack of warships of the same class, and rarely destroys the artillery of the main ship in the case of non-spiral arrays. Of course, there are main ships that do not want to wave. The reason for the cost of gunfire is also the reason why it is difficult for radar to capture these small-volume ships from a long distance.
Hogu digested the Selin's mothership technology, and even because of the advantages of materials science, he went farther than the Selin on that road, which made the Serene realize that in order to win the advantage of the interstellar battlefield, they must seek breakthroughs in new technology and pull the mothership class down from the altar of the emperor.
The head of state has vaguely guessed what the subject wants to express, but he is not sure yet.
"So, do you want to combine the advantages of large and small ships? To build a warship with superior performance than the mother class?
"Yes, try to think about it. A ship is only the size of gravel, but the firepower strength is even higher than that of the mother class..."
"Wait, the size of the gravel? Can you sit on someone?"
The person in chief coughed dryly and suppressed his excitement just now.
"Sorry, Head of State, that's the research direction. I'm so excited. The modified long-range autonomous ship I want to introduce to you belongs to a small achievement of this research direction. The main reason why I chose the autonomous ship as the template is that it is the ship of the smallest unit of the empire. The modified ships under the mature system do not need to pass. More tests can form combat effectiveness.
With that, the master led the F.D. to a projector and showed the profile of the modified long-range autonomous ship to his boss.
"In the vibration armor, we have installed a low-temperature liquid, using the temperature difference effect to obtain the current from the thermal energy of the vibration armor, and the current is imported into the laser. Therefore, the pulse engine power in the stern of the autonomous ship will be increased, and the speed of the autonomous ship will be faster..."
Nordens, who followed the F. s., suddenly asked.
"Excuse me, where does the heat energy of the vibration armor come from... Er, what am I wrong?"
Facing the focused eyes of the master and the head of state, Nordens scratched his head puzzledly.
The master shook his head and explained.
"The high temperature naturally comes from the laser with the enemy. The enemy's radar system will definitely find and lock the autonomous ship, which is inevitable, but because of the size, it is later than the mothership class is locked by weapons."
"But what's the point of this? It's just that the speed is faster. The conversion efficiency is not 100%. Heat will still accumulate on the vibration armor. You should also read the battle records. Those large creatures can release a large number of small individuals. I'm afraid that the autonomous ship will be vaporized before it is close to those creatures. The head of state.
"That's why I chose the autonomous ship. It is originally a consumable by definition. It doesn't matter how much the loss is. Considering the construction materials and construction time, even if it costs a whole independent ship formation to make a single autonomous ship break into the enemy unit, it is also profitable."
"In addition, the speed of the modified long-range autonomous ship is not the level you remember. We didn't plan to arrange them into the fleet from the beginning. Do you think the acceleration orbit of the mother star and the acceleration orbit of the mother ship are of the same magnitude?"
