Chapter Fifty-Eight: Evacuation of Segeis
The 2nd Mobile Fleet did not receive a second wave of attacks in the non-beacon area, but it still distressed Pan Wen after returning to port.
Based on the size of Pan Wen's current fleet and the quality of the loot he could collect, it was clear that the damage of one or two thousand Star Coins had not yet been taken into account by him, so it was obvious that the damage suffered by the Golden was far greater than it appeared.
The wounds of the Gold are divided into two levels, one is the damage to the outer armor that occurs when it is finally synchronized, the outer armor itself is only a replacement, but the damage from the previous battle has affected the inner armor of the Gold, that is, the outer wall of the isolation layer, and this repair process is much more than the outer armor. In general, it is fortunate that there is no damage to the structural parts, including the damage to the barrel of the ninth-level secondary gun on the port side, and the total cost of self-repair is about 2,300 star coins.
The other part is non-combat damage - damage from particle storms. The instant battle of being injured did not end, which made the gold not turn off the nearby electronic and energy systems as soon as possible before the damage to the outer wall, but in more than twenty seconds, there were twelve strikes on the forward shield energy temporary storage, accounting for one-fifth of the entire shield delay system's positive armor surface charging system, and the follow-up inspection found that the stability of three temporary storage devices had been reduced to a dangerous level, this kind of thing could not be repaired by itself, except for the five spare parts sent when the ship was bought, the rest could only be repurchased.
The Super Industrial Ship offers a number of purchases that cost 100 Star Coins each to the highest quality standards. One hundred star coins does not seem to be expensive, but in fact it is already the price of the roadblock robbery, the total value of the gold number after the discount is less than 100,000 star coins, throwing away the internal machinery, life, electronic devices, energy, weapons, etc., the shield delay system adds up to less than 10,000 star coins, and now ten out of three hundred will cost 1000 star coins, which is more than three times the price of buying parts from Titan Heavy Industries.
Except for the energy temporary storage part of the shield delay system, other electronic and energy-related devices/facilities were damaged, and there were sufficient spare parts on board.
The destruction of the temporary storage once again reminds Pan that Segeis is not a good place to fight. The inherent information advantage and the No. 11 reconnaissance aircraft are not used, the heavy firepower of the overrun mecha unit is also wasted, the physical line-of-sight combat range advantage cannot be brought into play, the damage will be inexplicably expanded by the natural environment, and the fleet control license that has just been obtained will not have much effect, if these difficulties are not difficult, then in the case of internal and external collusion between the players, all the difficulties have been magnified tenfold!
It's obviously a powerful fleet that he spent his boss's energy to put together, and now he has no advantage, and the fight is like an automatic turret, which is really sad.
So with the "serious injury" of the Gold, he borrowed the donkey from the slope to apply for the position of commander of the second mobile fleet.
"If the construction period of the 00865B class is delayed again, please Mr. Pan must think carefully again, the industrial ship is really running at full capacity, and we have no intention of deliberately delaying."
As soon as the resignation application was submitted, a member of the committee came to talk about the matter, and Pan Wen only shook his head and sighed, and personally took the committee member to the fifth and highest maintenance platform of the dock.
A giant war machine with a width and height of 200 meters in front of it, showing a damaged area of more than 20,000 square meters under its nose, the shock definitely needs no further explanation. Moreover, the gold number was indeed injured by the inner armor, and when the committee members came, more than 3,000 square meters of inner armor had been unloaded, and the isolation layer was messed up by the technicians' tools and equipment at this time, and it looked even more broken!
"You see, it is basically impossible for the Golden to regain its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and you also know the current situation, if I use other ships as commanders, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back alive, and I think it is the best way to hand over the command of the second mobile fleet."
The committee members did not have time to see the news of the headquarters before they came, and they simply thought that Pan Wen had this bad idea because the construction period of 00865B was delayed again, but when they went to the scene, this flagship was really injured!
The Second Mobile Fleet was built and organized by the Alliance, and when Pan Van stepped down, he needed a new commander and even a mobile fleet, and this was the headache for the committee members.
Pan Wen didn't have much personal relationship with the committee, but all of them agreed that the killer was the best candidate for the commander of the 2nd Mobile Fleet. If he leaves office, the remaining few commanders and alternates, to be honest, are really inferior in ability and combat performance, and one or two are still related households, and it is unknown whether they can restrain the few Buddhas in the second mobile fleet, and the combat results of the fleet will be even more unreliable at this time of internal and external troubles.
The Interstellar Trade Friendship Alliance is not without pre-selection plans, such as letting those Buddhas step down together, replacing the Second Fleet with a fleet with more and larger owners, so that the new commander can still show some tough attitude to convince the public, but this plan will actually weaken the command efficiency of the fleet, far less than the current coordination rate of seven or eight Buddhas, if you play some intrigue things, then it will be a big trouble.
No matter how the committee dealt with the follow-up issues, Pan Wen was out of the sea of misery this time, and he no longer had to be commanded by those guys in the command.
It's not that Pan Wen is uncontrollable, he was under the command of the Combined Fleet when he grabbed the technical documents before, but the situation in the Sea of Death is too bad, and the responsibility of the mobile fleet makes them have to enter the non-beacon area from time to time, and the mercenaries are now too famous to come to the front of the route, and they may not be able to get out of the non-beacon area at any time. Even if he is going to be killed by the player in the end, Pan Wen hopes that it will be in a relatively transparent battlefield where all the advantages are useless, rather than being beaten without knowing what the situation is.
After the committee returned, Pan Wen quickly received a positive reply from the committee on his resignation, because they were all private fleets, and there were no handover procedures, just upload a record of the battle in the Sea of Death during this time.
During the maintenance of the Gold, Pan Wen did not rest, paying attention to whether there was any new news about the K30 swarm, and began to prepare for the final work before the transfer of positions. This includes going to the Segeis Black House to apply for the last heavy cruiser, collecting some low-level personnel who want to leave Segeis, and preparing the crew of the new ship 00865B.
The purchase restriction of heavy cruisers was indeed opened during the Seguis War, but due to the rise in prices, the price of Caesar I-III in the Black Room has risen to 110,000 Star Coins, and if you can get through the regular channels, I am afraid it will cost 150,000 Star Coins.
Pan Wen struggled for a while, considering that the mercenaries could not be idle, and the prices were only getting higher and higher, and finally had to buy his second modified Caesar I-III. However, in this way, his book assets were almost exhausted, and the crew and material reserves were no longer imaginable, so in order to leave time to make money, he could only compromise on the construction period, which would take forty to fifty days to complete.
The convergence of the lower echelons is the same as the previous one, with the main targets being those who want to leave Segeis but don't have enough money to buy a ticket.
After the Sea of Death was blocked by players, the cost of passenger transportation increased slightly, and it was three star coins to MR243, including service costs, ship operation costs, Sea of Death escort fees (Segeis charged to the passenger transport company), and commercial profits, this price should be understandable, but even three star coins are not available to everyone, and there are too many temptations in pirate settlements, and the more low-level personnel, the easier it is to consume in advance, and then refer to the annual salary of elite technicians is only a dozen star coins, It is understood that three star coins are also difficult to raise in the eyes of many people.
By the time the Gold's internal and external armor and equipment were completely repaired, the Harbor had accommodated 3,600 melon-eating people who wanted to take refuge, and one-tenth of them had elite licenses. Most of the elite licensees are dancers, security guards, cooks and other ground staff, but there are still so many people on the ship, which saves Pan Wen a lot of trouble.
The 00865B class crew preparation, the committee had promised to provide a group of elite-level crew members for the new ship, but Pan Wen has now left, and the committee immediately changed its words to only provide a hundred crew members at the moment of resignation. Pan Wen didn't think that the committee turned around too quickly, and it was a shame that they could still provide a hundred people at this time, otherwise Pan Wen's fleet would not participate in the defense in the future, and it would be normal to completely rely on it.
Although I don't blame the committee, but the capital ship-type light cruiser has to achieve a three-shift system, there is still a gap of 200 people, and the cost of the signing fee of 200 people is also a large amount, and what is even more troublesome is that the elite crew of the interaction center is basically fished out, and there are probably dozens of them a day, and there are still hundreds of ships to grab. Therefore, these elite crew members among the melon-eating masses can be regarded as an emergency.
This group of crew members chose to take refuge, which did not seem to be a good choice, but after interviewing one by one, more than fifty agreed to join the fleet as long as they helped to settle their families, and were willing to join the fleet with the signing fee halved, which made Pan Wen pick up some cheapness. There is really only one point, even if the guys who can't afford to buy passenger tickets are elites, they are only the lowest elites, and there are only four technicians, not to mention the types with higher salaries, which are basically handymen.
There are more than fifty more crew members, and the one hundred people provided by the committee Pan Wen has a choice, and those guys who are prone to conflict with their teammates don't want it, leaving more than seventy, and the rest can only be temporarily transferred from various ships, and then talk about it when they go back to D21.
The new ship 00865B is in the ranks, this ship is purchased with points, and it is unlikely to be equipped in batches later, and the name of the "shotgun" is casually brushed on the gunwale, which is also more in line with the characteristics of its weapon system.
00865, as the follow-up main battle model of 00863, changed the problem of the small number of main guns of the 404 factory, and installed two twin-mounted yang electronic main guns, in addition to the front four and the rear two, a total of six eight-level yang electronic guns, and the rear two are also combined guns, and the movement angle allows aiming and measuring the front. Although the combined guns share the transmission system, but the energy is to be supplied separately, than the normal light cruiser with one more main gun, and at least two more eighth-level guns, the 00865 series has to sacrifice some multi-target aiming capabilities, the gun is made into a combined type, even so, the additional weapon system and energy supply system make its hangar still greatly reduced, can only accommodate four medium and light patrol ships.
How small this hangar is, just compare it in the fleet, the ensign-class hangar of Cam X can accommodate two medium and light patrol ships, but the length, width and height of the ensign are only two-thirds of the shotgun, and the total volume of the ensign is only a quarter of 00865B! Compared with the Fat Dun of the same factory and class, the Fat Dun is a conventional warship, although the weapon system is a little rotten, the hangar still meets the requirements of a light cruiser, which can accommodate six heavy patrol ships or eight medium and light patrol ships, almost the same size of the ship, and the hangar space is more than doubled. So the shotgun number basically doesn't have many additional functions except for being used to hit people.
The new captain of the Shotgun is served by Xue Qiu, the rare captain who ranked second in the overall score of the Harbor, and at the same time, the old cadets who are arranged to the Harbor also have an elite captain as the deputy captain and a large wave of fire controllers.
After completing the rearmament, it took a few more days to escort the combined fleet out of Segeis, and Pan Wen's fleet mixed in and was escorted again.
