Chapter 513: Brood Battleship
In addition to planetary landing ships, space carriers, capital ships, and super ships, there are finally command ships of the highest rank.
The main function of the command ship is to undertake the resource coordination and command tasks of the fleet, which is equivalent to the existence of the brain of a fleet, so the survival of the battlefield is its greatest pursuit, but it does not pay much attention to the performance of weapons.
Because of this, the command ship is only equipped with a few super cannons, as well as a large number of small anti-aircraft guns, in addition to this, the command ship will also be equipped with a data processing system to be able to better count the battlefield data and provide the necessary data support for the combat commander. The rest of the ship will be fully equipped with energy protection for maximum battlefield survivability.
This is Annie's plan for the future Starfleet, Chen Mo pondered for a long time after reading it, and then said: "Annie, your plan is very specific, it stands to reason that I shouldn't deny your plan, it's just ......"
Anne blinked her eyes wide and wondered, "Just what?" ”
Chen Mo smiled: "It's just that I don't think there's any need to make the problem so complicated, in the face of those planets that don't surrender, we don't need to carry out interstellar landing operations at all, we just need to give it a super cannon to solve the problem, you have to understand, we shouldn't waste too much time for a planet, our attitude is very clear - either surrender or be destroyed, this is the universal survival rule of the strong in the universe, is it necessary to ink with those weak races?" If we carry out a landing operation on every planet that does not want to surrender, it will be a complete waste of time for Chiguoguo. ”
Anne is an Ivestar, so her understanding of interstellar warfare is still in the general perception of Ivestar, but Chen Mo is different, Chen Mo only wants to surrender, and he is not willing to surrender. He will definitely give the other party a good time, because he is facing many enemies, not a single civilized race, so he doesn't need mercy, as long as the iron and blood are extreme.
After all, the universe is so big, what is it to disappear some civilized races?
Anne's eyes widened when she heard Chen Mo's words and said, "Xiao Mo." Wouldn't that be a little too bloody? ”
There was a slight difference in cognition between the two, Chen Mo was not surprised by this, only to see him say with a straight face: "Annie, what kind of treatment did you Ivestar people receive after the defeat?" ”
Anne froze momentarily when she heard this, and only after a moment did she say gloomily: "We were exterminated by the Archon family, and even the civilized races adjacent to us did not escape their slaughter......"
Chen Mo stretched out his hand and patted Anne's shoulder and said: "This is the true face of the universe, only the winner has the right to decide, and the loser can only accept all the bitter fruits, you just said that my approach is very bloody." But I think I'm much kinder than the Archon family, because as long as I submit to my civilized race, I will give them a chance to survive, and those races that resist to the end, do I still need mercy for them? It's like you Ives, who suffered a policy of genocide after the defeat, and this is the law of survival of the strong, in the face of this law. Any compassion and mercy is superfluous. ”
Anne was silent for a few moments before she spoke, "So what do you think?" ”
Chen Mo said in a deep voice: "My idea is that there is no need to build so many different types of warships. All you need to do is put them together and put them together into a complete war machine. ”
Chen Mo looked at the documents of several types of warships and said, "According to what I mean, there are many types of warships, and they are not suitable for performing combat missions, because the more types, the more information that the combat commander needs to process." Once they process too much information, it will inevitably cause unnecessary omissions, which is likely to cause immeasurable losses at critical moments, and I think that the battleship only needs one type so that it can be easy to command. In this way, the combat efficiency will be improved and a good foundation will be laid for victory in the battle. ”
Anne seemed to accept Chen Mo's opinion, and she nodded, "So what ......are your suggestions for improvement?" ”
Chen Mo smiled slightly: "I borrowed some elements from your plan, and then summed up a type of warship, I call this kind of warship a brood battleship, each brood warship will be equipped with hundreds of super cannons and tens of thousands of careful anti-aircraft guns, they have incomparable defense capabilities, and will carry a large number of space fighters to carry out combat missions." ”
Anne was very curious about this, and she asked, "What are the specifications of the fighters carried by the brood battleship?" ”
Chen Mo replied: "These space fighters will be divided into two types, the first is a suicide plane that specializes in suicide attack missions, they will carry high-explosive weapons similar to human nuclear warheads, directly rush into the enemy camp, and then take self-explosion to obtain maximum lethality, the other space fighter only needs to be equipped with a faster-than-light engine and medium thermal weapons, they will use fast speed to penetrate the energy shield of the enemy camp, and then attack it in close combat, I think as long as the number of space fighters is large enough, The other party can't think about it, they can't defend at all, they can only wait for destruction! ”
Chen Mo's words were not unreasonable, after his observation, he found that almost all the warships of the civilized race used energy shields as defensive measures, and the characteristics of energy shields were that as long as the strength was strong enough, they could defend against the attacks of all energy weapons, and even the attacks of super weapons could be resisted.
However, the energy shield also has a very significant weakness, that is, it does not fit well enough with the battleship, and often exceeds the battleship's hull by a certain distance, which is determined by the shape of the battleship.
For example, if the length of a battleship is one thousand meters, the width is five hundred meters, and the height is three hundred meters, then the opening range of the energy shield must exceed one thousand meters in diameter, because only in this way can it completely surround the battleship, so as to play a protective role.
This is somewhat similar to the principle of water in barrels, how much water a barrel can hold depends not on how high its tallest plank is, but on how low its lowest plank is.
In the same way, the real protection range of the energy shield does not depend on the shortest height or width of the battleship, but on its maximum length, and the safety of the battleship can only be ensured if the entire battleship is completely included in the scope of the energy shield.
This creates a problem: once the energy shield is activated, it must expand outward in a circular shape, that is to say, it is a spherical shape when it works, which is an iron law, and no civilization has yet been found to have developed irregular energy shield technology.
Because the battleship is not spherical, once the energy shield is opened, there will be a lot of excess space between the energy shield and the battleship, and Chen Mo's space fighter will drill into these spaces and carry out a direct attack on the battleship.
In this way, the space fighter can evade the energy shield and directly attack the main body of the battleship. Under the attack of thermal weapons, the shell of the battleship does not play a big role in protection, which causes the battleship to be destroyed quickly.
The energy shield can only defend against the attacks of energy weapons, but it cannot prevent the penetration of physical objects, so even if the opponent turns on the energy shield, it will not be able to prevent the penetration of the space fighter at all.
In interstellar warfare, generally as long as the difference between the weapons and equipment of the two sides is not very large, then the first thing to do is the energy consumption war, the two sides will open all the energy shields, and then launch thermal weapons to attack each other, once the energy of which side is exhausted first, then it means the defeat of the battle.
Other civilized races, including the Moti race, have not yet found an energy solution that can be used for a long time without needing to be replenished, but Chen Mo is different, he has a ray energy conversion device, and his energy supply will be very sufficient without space jumping, so he can safely open the energy shield to be beaten, and does not need to turn on various human weapons to fight back, which makes his brood battleship save more energy and can support the opponent's attack for a longer time.
