"After all, if you are left to watch the work in production, then you won't do anything else at the end of the day. As the commander of the space fleet, this is considered to be within my authority, and the minor adjustment of the number of warships naturally does not need to be reported one by one. Unless there are any particularly important changes that need to be notified, such as the fact that we have new ships that can be put into production. ”

"Personally, I think it's better to inform me of this kind of thing, at least let me know how many troops I have." Lin Hai said with some displeasure, but he knew that Towin was not trying to ignore him, but that Towin himself thought that there was really no need to report this kind of thing, and the loyalty of the clones had been tested, and then he noticed another element in Towin's words, "Wait, what new type of warship are you talking about?" ”

"A new type of warship?" Towin was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, that's after the Kodiak-class was outdated and the Sea Behemoth-class combat power was limited, I asked the research king to hammer them and use the supercomputer in the science and technology center to restore the design drawings of the latest warships of the Global Defense Force in our memory." Because we didn't go to Dr. Kane, who has a lot of tasks in his own right, and because we have a vague memory of the original design, we lack a lot of data about the weapon system, so we can't completely restore the design drawings, so we didn't report it. ”

The Sea Behemoth class, which uses a large number of laser weapons, is also less than three percent away from the previous killing effect in the face of the new shield of the Sijing people, but the shield is more difficult to resist than the previous models in the face of live ammunition shooting, making the sea behemoth class useless soon after it appeared, Lin Hai decided to resume production of the Kodiak class, but the Kodiak class is indeed outdated, in terms of speed and weapon output power, it is still a little powerless in the face of the Sijing fleet, Although large-scale upgrading and transformation of these two starships can also improve performance and combat effectiveness, compared with the direct design of new ships that are more suitable for the battlefield at this time, large-scale upgrades need to disassemble the hull, re-wiring, and re-install equipment, which takes more time, and small-scale transformation is not very time-consuming, but it does not help much to improve performance, so it is better to build a new ship directly.

"That's true, that's what I think." Towin's idea was not for nothing.

Unlike those soldier-level clones, many of them are made in this time and space, in addition to the professional knowledge required for combat, other common sense knowledge is from this time and space, Lin Hai wants the latest technology and the most advanced weapons and equipment of the global defense force, except for the system to occasionally provide a small amount, such as starships, high-precision equipment, but only the Kodiak-class global defense force is either relegated to the second line, or gradually retired from the old design (although this has also exceeded the level of human science and technology in this time and space, can also engage in some head-to-head battles with the Sijing fleet), and the more advanced, or even the latest service design of the Global Defense Force, has not appeared, if it were not for the Kane clone coming to this time and space, its super memory, and terrifying brain are full of knowledge and information, it is impossible to restore the design of many advanced weapons and equipment in a short period of time, and even directly design new things, Lin Hai does not have the confidence to fight to the death with the Sijing people.

"So, the commander is also asking people to design a new generation of warships?" Towin looked at Lin Hai and asked, "But as is custom, you should be looking for Dr. Kane, right?" ”

"That's right, I've asked Kane to design a ship that's more advanced than the sea monster, and to put on all the advanced weapons we can come up with right now, but the design process seems too difficult, and Dr. Kane hasn't been able to solve the problem of weapon system output and energy supply until now. Neither of these points has been resolved, let alone the others. ”

"It's not necessarily suitable for our current battlefield, sir." "So instead of spending more time developing a piece of equipment that combines all the most advanced but unreliable technologies together, we should combine the stable technologies we already have into the best fit for us." ”

Kane suggested the same thing, thinking that the new ship he was designing might only be used against another group of uninvited guests when it came out.

"Then you're agreeing to let Dr. Kane take some time to get involved with Wang Hammer's design team?" "If Kane had been involved, maybe the blueprints would have been restored in a month or even a week." ”

"A design that has been directly recreated is not necessarily suitable for our current situation." Lin Hai reminded Lieutenant General Towin, and the other party also reminded Lin Hai in similar words, "According to what you said, the war with robots, whether it is on the human side in the later stage, or the rebel AI, not to mention ground combat, the main attack weapons in space warfare are basically energy-shooting weapons such as lasers, and the weapons such as railguns have basically disappeared from starships except for some super-large fortress-level cannons, but the opponents we are currently facing are the opposite." Therefore, the design you have restored cannot be copied from the original design, and the design drawings need to be changed. But we all know that the time required to make a drastic change to the original design is generally not much less than that of redesigning a new ship, so this option can only be an alternative. ”

"Then you want Wang Hammer them to directly integrate our existing mature technology, regardless of how advanced the performance is, as long as you can design equipment that can effectively fight the enemy?"

"That's it. The newly designed warship does not have to be able to serve for more than ten years or even decades like the Kodiak class, but only needs to help us survive the current period of time, and we can hold on until Dr. Kane designs a new warship, and the goal has been accomplished, and then to ensure combat effectiveness under this premise is what we need now. ”

"If that's what you think, what about the design?" Hearing this, Towin changed the image on the holographic projector once more, and a three-dimensional three-dimensional view of the starship appeared on the holographic projector.

Although he was surprised that Towin came up with a design that should be a new ship so quickly, Lin Hai still took a look at the appearance of this new ship first.

The long columnar shape as always, like the style of a surface ship, is more like an enlarged version of the Higra-class than the design of a catamaran like the Kodiak-class battlecruisers, perhaps considering that such a similar design is for the sake of modular manufacturing?

It's just that unlike the overly simple island design of the Higra class, this new design has a prominent building with electromagnetic stealth style in the middle and rear of the hull, just like the towering bridge of the old surface battleships, but Lin Hai believes that this will definitely not be a bridge. In fact, even the superstructure of the Kodiak-class battle cruiser, which looks like a bridge, is only a combination of a communication tower and a large radar, and at most it has the role of a little observation deck, it is not a real bridge, so Lin Hai never believes that Wang Hammer or any other technician would design a bridge that is so prominent and easy to be blown up on a starship.

Lin Hai then focused on the newly designed weapon. After all, it is a battleship, and weapons are naturally a top priority.

Perhaps the designers focused on strengthening the firepower of the magnetic rail main gun when designing this starship, which may be the design before the emergence of the new missile, compared to the Higra-class space destroyer's five 450mm combined main guns, this new ship has nine larger combined turrets, three hulls in the upper front trapezoidal arrangement, two front lower trapezoidal arrangements, a main turret above and below the hull behind the island, and a main turret on both sides of the hull where the island is located, which makes this type of starship design shoot less dead than the Kodiak class.

The new ship appears to have completely eliminated the coaxial main guns of the Kodiak-class battlecruisers and Seabehemoth-class heavy cruisers, and is designed entirely to the standards of battle-line combat, with seven of the nine turrets capable of firing at targets in the same direction when facing the enemy on both the front and side sides. In addition to the nine large main turrets, there are also six triple turrets around the island, including below, which are more than one circle smaller, which should be secondary guns.

While ensuring the firepower of the main guns, it also retains the ability to launch missiles and torpedoes, five torpedo tubes on each side of the bow of the ship, and a 40-grid vertical firing system in front of the island.

As for those point fire prevention forces, they are densely packed all over the ship, and there are no dead ends, but Lin Hai can't tell whether to use a laser point defense array or a magnetic rail projectile, maybe this is a modular design that can be replaced at any time, maybe the designer has not decided yet, in short, the location of the point defense weapon, there are only some squares with the text of the point defense system there.

What makes the weapon system even more different from the Higra and Kodiak classes is the barrels of the nine combined main guns. Long and thick, according to the gun double diameter statement, these eighteen large tubes have a very high ratio of double diameter, if the caliber of the main gun is the same as the Kodiak class, all of which are 600 mm railguns, then the double diameter ratio of the main gun of this new design is at least more than 90 times the diameter from a visual point of view, maybe 100 times the diameter may also be a pity that the new design that Towin took out lacks a lot of remarks data, which may be because this design is still an unfinished product.

"This is a design that specifically strengthens the speed of the railgun?" Lin Hai pointed to the long cannon barrel on the design and asked, "Is there a real thing?" Or is it just drawings like the whole design? ”

"It is indeed the design of the enhanced missile speed, and it is also based on the data of the kilometer-level experimental railgun at the lunar base, and it is not made in real life, but it is only simulated and tested on a supercomputer, after all, there is no need to build a physical object to test before determining whether to build this type of starship. Of course, if necessary, the arsenal can build a real cannon for actual testing in a few hours. Towin replied, "By the way, this is a practice for Wang Hammer and his team after learning starship design from Dr. Kane, and the design idea is based on the human surface battleship of this time and space, as well as some fantasy designs, such as the design concept of an H45 type battleship that Wang Hammer saw on the human network." With such a design, whether it is a single ship attack or a multi-ship formation, the projection density of the railgun is also extremely high, and although the projectile speed is not as good as the experimental giant cannon on the moon, it is far beyond the various ship railguns we have at present. ”

"Well, the Sijing people upgrade their shields, mainly to defend against our strong laser weapons, for the defense of physical weapons, they choose to rely on the starship's mobility ability to directly circumvent, because no matter how the railgun's shells are improved, it is impossible to reach the speed of light with the current technology, even the giant cannon on the moon cannot meet this standard, so they don't pay much attention to defending against the attack of live kinetic weapons. However, when it is impossible to increase the output power of strong laser weapons, increasing the projectile amount and slightly increasing the muzzle velocity of some shells is just in line with our current needs. ”
