Chapter 141: Kestrel class frigate
The Kestrel class frigate is a space frigate designed by the design institute.
This is a heavy frigate, which belongs to the multipurpose frigate.
By changing the modules, a wide variety of tasks can be performed.
For example, air defense, raids, mine-laying and much more.
The parameters of the Kestrel class frigate are as follows:
Length: 575 meters
Width: 124 meters
Height: 112 meters
Armament:
Single-barreled 280 mm electromagnetic railgun.
160 cells of missile launchers, each cell carries 8 rounds.
120 units of mine dispersal devices, each unit carries 10 bombs.
80 35-mm electromagnetic guns, forming a dense close-in defense array.
20 laser emitters, a dense close-in defense array.
Dynamical system:
Two large helium-3 reactors, 4 main propulsion systems, two auxiliary propulsion systems.
Speed: Mach 900 (about 1/1000th of the speed of light)
Navigation system:
An artificial intelligence navigation system that uses pulsars' pulse signals to determine location.
Extras:
168 Power Armored Soldiers.
5 Yinglong space multi-role fighters.
5 Dragons space transport aircraft.
36 orbital assault capsules, each capable of carrying 5 Power Armored soldiers.
5 Spider Multi-Purpose Mechs.
30 large dog transport robots.
A chrono transmitter can teleport armor with a range of 30*30 meters at a time, and it takes three hours to recharge each time.
This chrono teleporter is one of the superweapons of the allies in the Red Alert world.
In addition, the Kestrel frigate is equipped with a deflection magnetic field device.
With this device, most of the physical ammunition is deflected by a magnetic field.
However, because of the high energy consumption, it can only be used in times of crisis.
Although the Kestrel class frigate is much larger than the Raven class, it is faster than the Raven, reaching Mach 900.
This speed has reached more than one thousandth of the speed of light.
Also upgraded in this update is the Yinglong fighter, the main changes are the power system, as well as the onboard cannon.
By using a better power system, the current Yinglong fighter can reach Mach 800.
The airborne cannon was also replaced with a 40mm double-barreled electromagnetic gun.
As a price, the overall size of Yinglong is also about one-tenth larger, close to the original dragon transport aircraft.
Fortunately, the size of the Kestrel class frigate is large enough, and after some cabins have been reduced, it can still accommodate five Yinglong fighters.
As for the Raven class, due to the size problem, the original warehouse had to be reduced.
When the blueprints are ready, the next step is to build and experiment.
However, it will take some time, and Fan Bufan can only wait patiently.
Taking advantage of this time, Fan Bufan began to eliminate a batch of weapons.
For example, those gunpowder weapons, all of them are eliminated this time.
Correspondingly, electromagnetic rifles of various performance began to be installed.
The first is the standard rifle, which is a 10 mm electromagnetic rifle.
The main parameters of this electromagnetic rifle, which was named C-10, were:
Caliber: 10 mm
Features: Shoots metal spike bullets at supersonic speeds. Possession of a capacitive control system that controls the rate of fire of the rifle.
Bullet types: alloy needle piercing bullets, armor-piercing bullets, blasting bullets.
Magazine: 100 rounds (metal rounds), 60 rounds (armor-piercing rounds), 30 rounds (blasting rounds).
Power supply: Small power stone battery/power armor power.
Rate of fire: 700-1200 rounds per minute (2100 rounds per minute, which will wear out the barrel life).
Weight: 8 kg (without magazine).
Effective range: 1500 meters (1% decrease for each additional 100 meters).
Manufacturer: Coffey Light Weapons Company.
With this rifle, now the troops completely abandoned the universal machine gun.
When fire support is needed, just use a 1000-round cartridge.
In addition to this, the troops now have another kind of support firepower.
This support firepower is the M1 20mm electromagnetic gun.
M1 type 20 mm electromagnetic gun parameters:
Caliber: 20 mm
Features: great power, fast rate of fire, good versatility, high stability.
Bullet types: armor-piercing, high-explosive, alloy pinprick shells.
Ammunition feeding method: Bullet chain feeding.
Weight: 50 kg (without ammunition box).
Rate of fire: 800-1200 rounds.
Effective firing range: 5000-8000 meters (fixed gun mount).
Power source: Small nuclear battery/power armor power.
Manufacturer: McCarthy Maschinenau.
This electromagnetic cannon can be mounted on the shoulder of the power armor, and the ammo box on the back is a humanoid turret.
In addition, it can also be installed in the hatch of a vehicle, helicopter, etc.
In addition to the guns, the cannons of all calibers were replaced with electromagnetic propulsion.
Mortars, which had been active on the battlefield, were also removed from service and replaced with individual rocket-booster grenades and grenade launchers.
It seems that although many weapons are gone, the combat effectiveness of the troops is even stronger.
Not only that, but the logistical pressure required to use electromagnetic weapons is much less.
After all, the small nuclear battery or power stone battery used by the electromagnetic cannon is enough for a large battle.
Without the propulsion part, the shells are much smaller in weight and size than before.
And now that the Terminator robots have joined the army in large numbers, it has also made it a lot easier for natural person soldiers.
Now the army has about 30,000 natural person soldiers, and all the others are T-800 Terminator robots and biochemical soldiers.
For the safety of those natural persons, both the Terminator and the Cyborg Soldier were ordered to protect the Naturalist Soldier as the first column.
In the robot factory, a large number of various models of terminators are produced every day.
Some of them joined the army, construction sites, etc., and some were mothballed in case of emergency.
"Braun, how is that fleet doing?"
Fan Bufan, who came to the space base to visit the construction of the Kestrel-class frigate, asked Braun.
With the gradual improvement of the space base, the shipyard has also increased a lot.
This time, a total of ten Kestrel class frigates were under construction.
In addition to this, there are 10 Raven-class minelayers.
With the addition of the 10 Raven-class minelayers built earlier, by the time the ten Kestrel class frigates are built, you will have 30 Raven-class ships (the Raven is only half the time it takes to build the Kestrels).
A total of 40 warships is enough for Fan Bufan to plunder the next world.
Seeing Fan Bufan, Braun said, "Your Majesty, this fleet should reach its maximum speed by now." At their current rate, they should come to us in 2 years. ”
"Any other news?" Fan Bufan asked.
Braun turned on the holographic projection and said, "According to our observations, this fleet consists of 340 spaceships. ”
Braun operated a holographic projection to classify the 340 ships.
"According to our current classification method, there should be 60 frigates, 40 destroyers, and 20 aircraft carriers and battleships each coming. Finally, there are 200 various auxiliary ships. A large part of these auxiliary ships are a bit like city ships. Braun said.
"So many auxiliary ships? Something feels wrong! Fan Bufan frowned.
Braun nodded: "I think this fleet is most likely not an invasion fleet, but a refugee." ”
Fan Bufan thought thoughtfully: "It's not impossible, but we still have to be ready for battle." If we were weaker than them, who would know what they would do? ”
"I understand that the truth is within the reach of the cannon." Braun uttered that classic phrase.
After finishing the conversation, Fan Bufan came to the shipyard of the space base.
Watching the keel of the huge ship slowly take shape, Fan Bufan was very satisfied.
Once upon a time, he had to fight an eagle for turf.
However, now he has the strength to destroy the earth.
And all of this is thanks to his golden finger.
Thinking of the golden finger, Fan Bufan had a hunch that it would not be long before the second enemy with the golden finger would appear.
"Let me see what you are!" Fan Bufan muttered to himself.
