Chapter 0396 - Cannon Giant Ship
Chapter 0396
Councillor Asari hurried back to the Citadel Tower, and immediately contacted several other Councillors to go to the central conference room.
"What's going on?"
When the three councillors entered the door, they saw Senator Asari standing in front of a huge virtual 3D projection, frowning.
Councillor Asari turned around and pointed to the image that was slowly spinning to show the full picture, "I wanted to show you this...... This is the ship sent to Qi Feng by Pan Asia. ”
The three councillors turned their heads and looked at them a few times, and said with some confusion: "This ...... Aside from the fact that it does look ...... 'unique', it doesn't seem to be anything special......"
Councillor Asari remembered something, and as soon as she waved her hand, there was another scale bar on the virtual projection, and in order to compare it more vividly and intuitively, the Councilor added the Turui Dreadnought, the Starlink Dreadnought, the Serarui Dreadnought, and the flagship of the Citadel Council, the first galactic ship: Extraordinary Destiny.
“TF!”X3
In the projection, the dreadnoughts of all races are dwarfed in front of the Pan-Asian giants, and the four ships are connected at the bow and tail to be comparable to the giant Mac. Not to mention the tonnage or something. In terms of volume, the other party can fit them in.
Councillor Serari was furious: "This ...... This is a contempt for the Council of the Citadel! This is a wanton violation of the Treaty of Fareksen......!
There's no way, she's been closest to Pan Asia recently, if she makes her stand right away, what if the other three parliamentarians use this as an excuse to set fire?
Councillor Asari shook her head with a wry smile, interrupting the righteous accusations of the Serrarui and relaying the pan-Asian explanation. The three councillors stared at each other for a while.
"This ...... This is obviously a shameless quibble!" Udine, of course, is no stranger to the pan-Asian style of behavior, and has always liked the so-called justification.
Congressman Turui shook his head: "Okay, time is precious. The Treaty of Farikson is no longer valid, and there is no point in bringing it up. Whether the other side has violated the interstellar code of conduct for diplomacy, I think, is not what we really care about...... Let's skip that and go straight to the point, okay?"
"In fact, this ship now belongs to Qi Feng, that is to say, this is the warship of our council, and I think that Pan Asia's allocation of this battleship to Qi Feng is itself a rather open and transparent benign attitude...... Otherwise. They can continue to hide......" Seeing that the other three councillors did not speak, the turian councillor himself spoke first: "I think it is more important to evaluate this battleship, which should be the benchmark for judging what actions we will take in the future." ”
In fact, it is unlikely that the parliament will sanction a certain civilization with a treaty that has been abolished...... The parliamentarians are more concerned about whether this kind of thing that Pan Asia suddenly takes out will disrupt the strategic balance of the galaxy.
The four councillors nodded to each other and went straight back to their offices, immediately transmitting all the information they could get of the Pan-Asian giant ship parked in the harbor back to the staff of the home planet or similar institutions, and it was up to experienced experts to make a judgment.
And the military experts of various civilizations are not vegetarians, and although the information is very rudimentary, they still use their rich experience to make judgments quickly.
"Don't worry, ......Councillor," said the chief ship designer of the Asari Clan, on the other end of the quantum communicator, "this ship is huge, but it's not a cause for concern. The larger the ship, the larger the Mass Effect core...... This is a very difficult process, but this is not the most important thing, such a huge mass effect core, when operating in a high-energy state, the dark energy changes in each quadrant must be coordinated enough...... And this kind of slender hull shape is completely impossible to do, only a ray form like our Extraordinary Destiny can reasonably arrange the controller and make the suppression field perfectly distributed!"
"Is that so?" Councillor Asari frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "And what is your opinion of this ship?"
Chief Engineer Ashali, who has thousands of years of experience in large-scale construction, said disdainfully: "It's too big and useless, it's vulnerable, and I even doubt that it can spread the Mass Effect shield to the entire ship!...... I just found a little bit of information about Pan Asia...... Heh, sure enough, they have never had any experience in building large dreadnoughts, and even the total number of ships built is pitiful......"
Councillor Asari said thoughtfully, "They...... The ...... claiming to be part of a land-based base was demolished and rebuilt."
"Poofha!" The senior engineer bent down and pounded the table in front of the communicator without any image, and it took a long time to recover: "It's hard for them to be so imaginative......
Councillor Asari nodded, closed the communication, and breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, I'm relieved......" and got up and went to the conference center, wanting to hear the opinions of the other tribes.
......
Office of the Turkish Congressman.
“...... This size, this shape, the cannon body is exposed, God, can they really build ships? This characteristic signal can be transmitted almost as far as a light year......
"So ?......"
"I refuse to admit that this is a 'battleship', it is nothing more than a pile of ugly turrets...... Our turquoise dreadnoughts are the first in the universe!"
"Okay, understood, so I'm relieved......"
......
Office of the Member of Parliament of Serrarui.
"No, no, no...... That's impossible. Our dreadnoughts generally have only one main gun, no more than two, and in such an arrangement, with such calibers, the accumulation of ionization effects and mutual disturbances after acceleration alone is enough to melt them internally...... Well, the only possibility is that these cannons have a very long cooldown and can only be fired in turn in order to achieve a relatively high rate of fire...... Well, there's no way around it. ”
......
Starlink Councillor's Office.
"Hah?!...... Is Pan Asian crazy? Or are you kidding? This ...... Councillor, don't you know these ...... 'one' boats?"
Udina frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Doctor, don't play dumb riddles with me, this is a very serious incident, I need a detailed and reliable assessment!"
"Okay...... the expert on the other end shrugged, "You probably haven't learned that, Councilman...... But we have ...... in our ship engineering curriculum."
"Textbook design?" Udina exclaimed.
"Uh...... Well, World War I, World War II-style textbook level. ”
"What?" said Udine, thinking he had misheard.
Experts were able to upload only a couple of pictures of battleships from hundreds of years ago: "The designers of Pan Asia are really nostalgic...... This kind of antique can actually open to the sky. ”
......
When the four councilors returned to the conference center, they all had relaxed expressions on their faces, and after a little exchange with each other, they found that their experts had reached similar conclusions, and there should be no mistake.
"It seems that the design of their warships in Pan Asia has gone astray...... "The lawmakers sighed faintly, but they finally let go of their worries. With the unanimous nods of the four councillors, the blockade of the Ghost Seat ship Zhiyuan was lifted.
......
At this time, on the top floor of the Pan Asia office and guest house in the Divine Fortress, Qi Feng was listening to two generals engaged in military scientific research explain to him the design ideas of the giant ship.
Major General Wu Di spoke very confidently: "...... Their warship design has gone astray! It's ridiculous! Fixed main guns? This kind of design has been completely eliminated by the navies of various countries before the First World War on Earth!"
Qi Feng also knew a little about the navy, and he agreed with this point of view in his heart, but this was the case with all major civilizations, which made him a little unconfident: "That...... Why are all those dreadnoughts like this? especially...... Why is Starlink's like this?"
Wu Di spread his hands: "Treaty restrictions." The Treaty of Farrickson limited the tonnage of dreadnoughts. The main cannon, of course, is as big as possible, but the main cannon with the upper limit of the size of the Mass Effect Core is about the same as the main cannon of other races dreadnoughts, which is about the upper limit that the Mass Effect Core can withstand. But their tonnage is limited, and the barrels of several hundred meters long cannot be reduced, so they can only die in the hull. ”
Wu Wei added on the side: "Moreover, they may not have solved the problem of heat dissipation and huge ionization interference of multi-core and multi-barrel...... Oh, and also, the exposed barrel will release a huge electromagnetic signal, which is not good for stealth......"
Qi Feng is impressed by Pan Asia's technology, he still has a little understanding of the common sense of space warships, the interference between the mass effect cores is very terrifying, the battleship melts down or explodes directly, and heat dissipation is also a big problem, individual weapons can naturally dissipate heat or use thermal magazines, and dozens of huge cannons like the Zhiyuan ship are a very difficult thing to do. "But you solved it?"
Wu Wei and Wu Di looked at each other and smiled, shook their heads together and said, "No......"
"Ha?!?!" Qi Feng threw himself on the table, almost not being flashed.
Wu Di said with a smile: "Why do you want to solve it? Charge plasma, as well as heat energy, there will be problems with accumulation, so won't it be over if you hit it?"
"Ha ?!?!"
The turret of the Wu Di Zhiyuan ship was enlarged, and he explained: "The triple turret, in fact, only has two on the left and right, which is the Mass Effect acceleration cannon, and the middle one is the plasma cannon, the cannonball...... It's the 'troubles' caused by the two cannons on the left and right. ”
"This can also be?! and this kind of operation?!" Qi Feng was really convinced, he grabbed his head and thought about it: "By the way, how did the problem of stealth be solved?"
The two generals of Wu were still like that, both of them spread their hands, shook their heads and said, "Solve it......?"
Qi Feng had already given up his conjecture and said directly: "Let's just say it......
Wu Di said: "Stealth? What is the use of stealth? The best example, Shepard's Normandy SR1, which claims to be the most advanced stealth warship in the galaxy, was ambushed by the Collector cruiser, breaking the shield with one shot, breaking the armor with two guns, and sinking with three guns...... Stealth didn't help!"
Qi Feng thought about it, in the case that all ships were flying faster than the speed of light, the radar signal transmitted at the speed of light was actually not that significant. The most important thing is to rely on VI to calculate the trajectory. The stealth ability of the Normandy is mainly useful for navigating in sub-light speed galaxies, but at this distance, the optical sensing of this world is also very powerful, and stealth warships can't avoid enemies who are deliberately guarded against.
"That'...... If it was the Zhiyuan, in the same situation at that time......" Qi Feng couldn't help asking.
Wu Di said proudly: "We have accurately calculated the example of that battle, oh, and not long ago, the data on the engagement between the battleship of the collector and the anti-aircraft fire of the colony. At that time, if the Zhiyuan encountered...... Let him fire the cannon first, and if the three rounds of the main cannon can break the shield, I will lose...... If you want to fight back, if you want to leave something behind, you don't use a salvo. ”
Qi Feng suddenly became energetic: "Hmm...... That, if you say, three...... Generally speaking, a heavy cruiser should not be able to withstand a round of fire...... Zhiyuan, can you win?"
Hearing that the imaginary enemy was the "Star Alliance," the corners of General Wu's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly: "We have more detailed data on this! There is absolutely no problem with the three dreadnoughts." Zhiyuan could have sunk shields before they bottomed out...... Zhiyuan's performance will not be worse than the overlord's ......"
"What?" Qi Feng was really shocked when he heard this, he could see the power of the overlord, "More powerful than the Reaper?"
"It's hard to say which one is stronger, but the overlord only has one main cannon, although the power is strong enough, but in the face of the situation of mosquitoes biting and killing elephants, it is a loss. And Zhiyuan, as long as there are skilled gunners, coordinated command, and reasonable firepower distribution, it can completely sweep the Sixth Fleet of the Star Federation out of the Divine Fortress......"
Qi Feng didn't have any thoughts about the Divine Castle, and the only thing he felt now was that he should not be afraid of being bombed again.
However, this skilled gunner...... Coordinated command ...... Looking at these dense artillery groups on the model, ranging from hundreds of meters long to more than ten meters short, I am afraid that it will take 1,800 soldiers to get it done? Who can Qi Feng himself count on? Guan Le and General Wu both refused to provide manpower.
"It's not that the organization won't help you...... Organizations also have their own difficulties. First, our own naval talent is also in short supply, and the shipbuilding plans in the rear are all full, and these current soldiers on your ship are all promoted to two levels of military rank when they go back, and they are directly arranged to be grassroots officers on the new ship...... The first officer, the second officer, the third officer, and the chief engineer have already registered in the rear, waiting to take over the ship as the captain! Besides, ...... We Pan Asia discharged the Zhiyuan this time just to test the parliament's reaction to this super dreadnought, this ship is under the parliamentary flag, without our people, the resistance will be much less......"
Qi Feng could only sigh.
Wu Di could only say: "The advantage of the cannon giant ship will always come at a price...... Ahem, actually, this ship is a new model, and now the officers and men on the ship can only drive it...... It's still far from being proficient, and it's not much different from hiring people yourself......"
"Huh?" Qi Feng thought about it before he came back to his senses, "This ship is really a verification model?"
The two generals Wu spread their hands and said: "No way, before the treaty is abolished, how dare we unload this thing and fly?"
Qi Feng could only roll his eyes and said, "So, like this, you built this one?"
Wu Di nodded: "Well, Class A Type A, this is the only one." The remaining B type C ...... There are also Class B series, none of which are as big as this one......"
Qi Feng felt that if he heard this to the council, that Congressman Asari would have to tear up with this General Wu. Qi Feng felt that when dealing with Pan Asia, he had to be a little more careful, otherwise it would be too easy to be fooled: "That...... I would like to ask, are there any other shortcomings of this ship?"
Wu Di thought for a moment: "Shortcomings? How can there be shortcomings? Of course we take out the best warships...... You have to believe in our Pan-Asian strength and sincerity!"
Qi Feng just stared at him and didn't speak.
General Wu Di scratched his face: "That...... It is difficult to find a position, the maintenance is slightly expensive, and the fuel consumption is high...... Does it count?"
