Chapter 223: Shipbuilding in the Void
The Aeolian Empire's fleet sailed in the void, a hundred light-years away from the stars, and it was extremely dim all around, and even meteors did not pass through this vast interstellar space.
Even the most accident-prone meteorites in interstellar travel, there are none.
Empty, empty, empty......
This is how this void feels to people.
A group of "Pathfinders" is launched from the fleet, and they will spread out in all directions, orbiting the center point of the entire fleet within a range of about 1-2 astronomical units.
These "pathfinders" will form a network of shields, so that the vast majority of observing systems will not be able to detect the presence of a large fleet.
Li Chunfeng decided to complete the upgrading and transformation of all the warships in the fleet in this void, even if the number was reduced.
Li Chunfeng couldn't bear to go to the Jingsu Seven Galaxy at the regular speed of a third-level civilization, which would take hundreds of years, which was really desperate.
Therefore, Li Chunfeng wants to complete the reconstruction of the battleship in the void, and he must have a powerful fleet that can travel faster than the speed of light and has weapons of a fourth-level civilization or even a higher-level civilization.
As long as you complete the fleet upgrade, then even if the Kunpeng aircraft is in front of you, you will have the confidence to fight a battle.
When the "Pathfinder" shelter net was activated, the entire fleet began to change formations, and the Emperor-class battleships came to the outermost circle, then the Admiral-class battleships, then the Life-class ships and kamikaze-class battleships, and in the innermost circle, there were a large number of city-class spaceyards and transports surrounding the spaceyards.
Except for the Emperor-class battleship in the outermost circle, which maintained a low-speed alert cruise, the rest of the battleships stopped one after another, floating in this void.
The standard space dock ship designed by Li Chunfeng can not only build three new Admiral-class warships at the same time, but it is also modular.
In other words, spacedock ships can be combined with each other, and when they are combined to form a larger dock, larger warships and ships can be built.
At this time, when the 300 spacedock ships have been combined, they will form a huge 60 spacedocks, which will be used to build a new generation of Aeolus-class flagships and life-class ships.
In Li Chunfeng's design, the Fengshen class is a new first-class flagship that replaces the kamikaze class, which no longer uses a unique energy reactor as an energy supply, but uses a composite energy reactor like the new famous general class.
However, the energy reactor still exists as a backup energy source, and this dual-energy system is to ensure that the various weapons of the Fengshen-class battleship can have the greatest power.
At the same time, it is also to ensure the safety of Li Chunfeng's location, the various protective shields of the Fengshen-class battleship are the most powerful, and the energy supply is enough to resist the continuous attack of various powerful weapons.
According to the battleship construction plan jointly formulated by Li Chunfeng and No. 2 Intelligence, the Fengshen-class flagship will be built in the same batch as the first batch of famous general-class warships.
Because the construction period of the Fengshen-level flagship is three times that of the Celestial Commander-level, that is, a full six months, and the construction period of the Life-level spaceship is slightly less than that of the Celestial-level Commander.
So, during the construction of the Aeolus, the Admiral will be able to build three batches, but during the last batch, most of the production will be spent on building new spacedocks and transports.
The first batch to enter the construction is 4 Anemo class and 56 life class. With the current population of nearly 400 million people in the Fengshen Empire, each ship can easily accommodate 12 million people, and 56 ships are more than enough.
Considering that the curvature sailing time will soon enter a few years, the population will increase, so a few more will be built.
As for the first batch of Admiral-class, there will be 4,500 ships, which will be built by another 1,500 standard spacedock ships.
Li Chunfeng's idea is to give priority to the manufacture of flagships and warships carrying human beings, and at the same time build a group of famous generals, so that they will have the most core force.
If the Kunpeng aircraft chased after him at this time, in a battle, if he was defeated, his 4,560 warships would be able to escape by sailing faster than light.
As for the fact that during the construction of the warship, if the Kunpeng aircraft arrives, it will ensure that the original core warship group will be withdrawn by means of space jump.
This core group consists of 4 flagships, 46 Life-class ships, 500 Emperor-class, and 2,000 Admiral-class, as well as 500 transports, for a total of 3,050 ships to be dismantled at the end.
Now, the ship-building program in the Void is in full swing in a way that humans have never imagined, and this is the first time that the Aeolian Empire has built a warship in the middle of a space voyage.
Fortunately, everything was used for combat purposes before, whether it was a dock ship or a transport ship, it was based on the void to repair and transform the battleship.
These have been simulated countless times in the virtual world, and now they are implemented in the real universe, and the whole scene is also extremely shocking.
The only thing lacking in the void is all kinds of raw materials, but this time it is necessary to disassemble the old ships and use them as raw materials to build new ones.
Fortunately, the materials of the new warship are the same as those of the original warship, but they need to be re-smelted using the technology of the fourth-level civilization.
The first to be dismantled are the city-class warships, which will be the raw materials for the first new ships and ships.
A large number of city-class warships were towed to the dock for dismantling, and under the control of No. 2 intelligence, according to the detailed dismantling method formulated, it was clear which parts could be directly reused, which ones needed to be abolished, and which ones needed to be re-rebuilt.
The original battleship was quickly dismantled and reduced to various parts. At the same time, various transport ships transporting different materials also converge at the designated location to provide some additional materials for the ship-building, and serve as a temporary warehouse for the newly produced parts, thus forming a ship-building factory in the void.
A total of 2,000 spacedock ships and 5,000 space-transports formed a grand factory in the inner circle of the entire fleet, and the battleships were towed into the dock ships, which were quickly disassembled into various useful and useless parts.
The useless parts are either re-forged and re-crafted into new parts, or stored as fuel substances, and can be used as raw materials for composite energy furnaces when all warships and ships have become new warships that can travel faster than the speed of light.
When the dismantled materials can meet the construction of the first batch of 4,560 warships, 1,500 of the spacedock ships will no longer be dismantled and will enter the shipbuilding stage.
The 60 huge space docks formed by the merger have also entered the shipbuilding stage, and the remaining space dock ships continue to be dismantled.
Li Chunfeng redesigned the life-level spaceship, taking the spacecraft to deal with various terrible hazards in the universe such as gamma ray explosions and death rays as an extremely important link, achieving the ultimate protection of the current technology, and reserving the space needed for the energy shield that he was actively developing.
Because many devices are large energy consumers, the focus in the redesign of the new life-class spacecraft is to design multiple independent energy modules for energy supply separately, so as to avoid the loss of the energy system due to excessive energy consumption of a certain device.
However, this also comes at the cost of a huge amount of space, although the new life-class spaceship is twice as large as before, the space left for the human ecosystem is only less than 20% larger than before.
The rest of the extra part is all occupied by the energy system, which is a very incredible thing in the eyes of the Xiantang people and the Shenmu people, after all, some devices are usually not used.
However, Li Chunfeng doesn't care about this, what he pursues is the maximum security, if it weren't for the technical limitations, he still wants to build the spacecraft bigger.
At present, the new Life-class ship is the second largest ship in the future of the Anemo Empire's fleet, with a diameter of 12,000 meters and an altitude of 8,000 meters, almost like a small asteroid.
After simulation calculations, the conventional maximum speed of the new life-class spacecraft also reached 50,000 km/s, and the faster-than-light speed also reached 50 times the speed of light.
Although the size of the life-level spaceship is 5 times larger than that of the Celebrity Class, the power of its energy system is also 8 times more than that of the Celebrity Class, but the speed is about the same as that of the Celebrity Class.
Sure enough, I still need to continue to work the energy utilization of the battleship, and the size of the battleship is also large, and the energy consumed is also large, so how to find the best balance point is more testing for the designer.
Think about that Kunpeng flying machine, which is 128,000 kilometers wide at its widest point, how huge this is! This should already be equivalent to a planetary-class battleship.
What exactly does it use?
You must know that such a large aircraft not only requires a huge amount of energy for the engine, but also the entire protective cover, which is a major energy consumer.
At least, with Li Chunfeng's existing technology, it is more difficult to build a larger warship, because the energy of the composite energy reactor wants to support a larger protective shield, as well as the strength of the protective shield, and the energy efficiency of this needs to be updated and improved.
Of course, if there is a similar energy source or a new energy supply, then the battleship can be much bigger.
After all, after obtaining the new materials synthesized by strong forces, and then the protection of the strong field shield, the structure of the battleship no longer has to worry about gravitational force, tidal force and other problems, so it is not a problem to build larger, and the biggest problem is the energy consumption problem after the protective shield becomes larger.
When the Imperial fleet stopped in the void and began to build ships in full force, there was constant propaganda within the Empire, and the Führer had gone all out to find a way to crack the death ray to save the deeds of all the people.
For a time, the prestige of the head of state, Li Chunfeng, once again reached an extremely high level.
The entire society of the Fengshen Empire has set off an activity of using learning machines to comprehensively learn scientific knowledge, striving to be a great scientist, and being a good assistant to the Führer.
At this time, the empire stayed in the void to build ships, and Wu Yumeng selected some shocking scenes to shoot and edit, and played this video in the virtual world.
Immediately, the citizens of the Empire had greater confidence in the Imperial fleet, and they also expressed their understanding of such ship-building activities in the Void.
However, this video also brings another effect, a large number of young people devote themselves to the study of warship design and manufacturing, and are determined to build the most powerful warships for the empire in the future.
At this time, there was also a small episode.
A 17-year-old young man actually tried to steal a traffic boat and went to the ship-building area to observe the ship-building process on the spot, but the result was naturally discovered by the intelligent brain system and a robot captured him.
When Li Chunfeng came home to accompany his parents and relatives, he heard about this, and Li Chunfeng issued a special order from the head of state, arranging for the young man to go to the ship-building area, so that he could carefully observe the ship-building process of different warships and spaceships.
After that, he was handed over to the police department for corresponding re-education through labor.
In Li Chunfeng's view, although this young man named Wei Xinghai needs to be punished for stealing a traffic boat, Li Chunfeng can still understand his feelings about wanting to see the ship-building process.
After this incident, Li Chunfeng asked Wu Yumeng to arrange a special sightseeing tour project and create a special sightseeing transportation boat, and people who want to go to the ship-building site can take the sightseeing boat to go sightseeing.
After all, it is necessary to stay in this void for at least half a year, and to have a place to go for sightseeing and tourism, but also to enrich the daily life of the people of the empire.
In this way, in this dim void, in the vigorous shipbuilding campaign of the Wind God Empire, more than half a year has quietly passed.
By the time the Aeolian class was completed, not only the Life-class ships had already been completed, but also the Admiral-class, and the new spacedock ships and transports had all been completed.
A new generation of core fleet consisting of 4 Aeol-class, 56 Life-class, 10,000 Admiral-class, as well as 2,000 spacedock ships and 7,000 space-carrier ships has been formed.
Then, in a short period of time, after completing all the relocation of personnel, the last remaining old warships and spaceships were dismantled into raw materials and shipped to 7,000 transport ships.
Because, Li Chunfeng didn't plan to continue to stay here to build ships, but after dismantling and packing, he took the fleet that had been reduced by half and immediately rushed to the Jingsu Seven Galaxy.
