Chapter 451: Deep Space Aircraft Carrier

"That's right, the empire is finally willing to take out the things hidden in the snow and use them, and I haven't seen them appear during military exercises."

Hogu was a little surprised, it thought that the Empire would not use these easily.

Behind the stellar netting, amoeba, who has an all-stellar system perspective, is observing the new warship deep-space aircraft carrier that the empire has put into operation.

This is a new type of ship for the Seren, their size is not different from the mothership class, the template for construction is to follow the mothership class, but they do not have the light-speed cannon like the mothership class, not even a single cannon has been seen on them, the Serens completely abandoned the laser cannon.

The only means of attack for these deep-space carriers is to drop a large number of autonomous ships to attack the enemy.

There is no autonomous ship inside, only the production line of the autonomous ship and the raw materials of the autonomous ship, which can maximize the use of space, and save the cost of maintaining the autonomous ship, when entering the state of war, the production line will be started, and a steady stream of autonomous ships will come down from the production line and immediately put into the battlefield.

"Will, what is the use of such ships built by the Empire?"

Some gatherers asked Huogu very puzzled, because this kind of battleship, after they simulated it many times, it was found that the performance was not even comparable to the active battleships of the Empire.

Is the empire a fool? Obviously not, this kind of warship was hidden by them as a secret weapon, and it was only now that it was put into use for the first time, and it was directly put into actual combat, which clearly shows the Empire's self-confidence in this kind of warship.

However, after the collectors learned the general data of this ship type through the stellar net, they did not feel that they had any superb performance.

So they came to Huogu for help, hoping that Huogu could give them an answer.

"This kind of warship is specially designed by the empire for light-time scale operations, if you directly compare it with other warships of the empire, you will naturally not be able to understand the true role of this kind of warship."

Huo Gu knows very well why the empire designs ships like this, the battlefield environment determines the needs, the empire is just designing warships according to needs, if you can't correctly understand the battlefield where the deep space aircraft carrier should be used, you can't correctly understand the true value embodiment of this kind of warship.

The upper limit of the speed of light results in a significant delay effect on radar at larger scales.

Weapon accuracy decreases with distance.

The laser pulse will decay due to the energy level attenuation due to the extension of the distance scale, so there is an effective range, and the illumination of the light may not be as dazzling as the flashlight at a large enough scale.

Combining these aspects, the empire designed this kind of battleship, the defensive armor was thinned, and the strength was reduced a lot, just to be able to fit more propulsion engines, autonomous ship production lines, reactors, and raw materials, which were all considered a thin and stuffed live target for battleships, and they were bound to be pressed and beaten within the effective range of the laser.

But if it is outside the effective range of the laser, such as the optical time scale, then the situation will be reversed, whether it is a battleship or a mothership, it can only be hung by the deep space aircraft carrier kite flying tactics, and there is nothing to do about the deep space aircraft carrier.

Deep space aircraft carriers are designed to defend with spatial distance, and as long as they run outside of your effective range, you gunboats will not be able to kill me, unless you can catch up with me.

If you want to attack the deep space aircraft carrier, you need to catch up with the other party, but in terms of speed, the deep space aircraft carrier is specially designed, sacrificing the speed of armor in exchange, it is not at all a mothership class and battleships such as heavy tonnage ships can catch up, cruisers and other escort warships can catch up, but the problem is that these warships run such a large-scale distance, they need to carry enough material supplies, and after carrying such a large amount of material supplies, the firepower is naturally difficult to guarantee, let alone deal with the overwhelming autonomous ship group.

In addition, the design of deep space aircraft carriers mostly adopts lightweight, anti-radar detection designs, which ensure the battlefield survivability of deep space aircraft carriers, making them not easy to be detected by radar.

As for what to do if the ship's resources are exhausted, the deep space aircraft carrier can use local materials, and Kuiper carries a huge number of meteorite groups, which is completely enough for the deep space aircraft carrier to squander recklessly.

Of course, this kind of anti-radar concealment of the deep space aircraft carrier is actually of little use to the Hogus, because the design of the deep space aircraft carrier is only anti-radar and lightweight, and a large-volume man-made object like the mothership class, the components of the star network cannot be seen unless they are blind.

"Will, is such a warship a high threat to us? Shouldn't we design some organisms to target? ”

Some collectors asked Huogu about the role of deep-space aircraft carriers and the combat mode to a certain extent, and the collectors had to be worried, but Huogu vetoed their ideas.

"This is not needed, this is just a kind of chicken rib product created by the empire's big steps, the completion of the stellar network makes the hiding ability of the deep space aircraft carrier useless, and any warship that loses its hiding ability is not a threat, we don't need to care too much about this."

If such a battleship can be hidden all the time, it is indeed terrifying, but once its whereabouts are revealed, the danger will plummet, and it is even inferior to a battleship.

After all, it is not only lasers that can make radar useless, but also live-ammunition weapons.

"That's right."

The war is still going on, and the autonomous ship group of the Aegean Federation fleet released by the Aegean Federation fleet and the autonomous ship group of the deep space aircraft carrier are close to each other, and you can see a light belt that stretches for hundreds of thousands of kilometers at the first time.

The battle line is maintained, and in the foreseeable future, the Aegean Federation fleet will destroy this wave of autonomous ship groups without loss, because the Aegean Federation fleet can salvage the wreckage of autonomous ships, and then return to the furnace to create more close-defense autonomous ships, while the autonomous ship groups of deep space aircraft carriers have indeed not been replenished and have been consumed, and the number is a little less.

"Looks like we'll be able to clean it up soon"

Staring at the cloud-like autonomous ship group on the tactical projection, the commander of the Federation Fleet had some confidence in this battle, and the so-called empire was only to this extent, they would destroy the lackeys of the empire like these autonomous ships!

"Commander, radar has observed a large number of entities approaching Aegean! It's an autonomous ship group! That's about three times more than what we're facing now! ”

The face of the commander of the Federation Fleet, who heard the report from his subordinates, changed.

"What did you say?!"
