Chapter 41: Battleships
"Since we have money, I suggest that we establish a procurement channel as soon as possible." Chekov was stunned, reacted quickly, and said loudly: "We still have a big shortage of supplies, especially in terms of weapons. ”
Everyone suddenly came back to their senses and echoed it, and the discussion suddenly became enthusiastic, as if they hadn't heard the fat man's question. The scene was warm and eerie.
Fang Xiang couldn't help but glance at the fat man who was still holding his fingers and his hair stunned. She finally understood how this army, which openly used bandits as its name, drove tattered warships to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and trained and studied all kinds of obscene tactics every day. With such a supreme leader who behaves horrically and has a whimsical mind in his head, the style of this army is chaotic, you can imagine it.
"By the way, how is our ship remodeling?" The fat man leaned over and said, "How long will it take for the aircraft carrier to be completed?" ”
"The main structure has been completed, and the rest of the structure will take a week." Fang Xiang glared vigorously at this fat man whose mind could jump freely on inflatable dolls and battleships, and said, "However, to form combat effectiveness, it will take a few weeks to conduct systematic tests and tests. ”
"So fast" the fat man was a little excited, and asked expectantly, "What about the two battleships?" ”
"Today is the day when the battleship completes its final tests and goes to the dock." Fang Xiang subconsciously looked at the time, and his emotions were also infected by the fat man, and he became excited. If it weren't for greeting the fat man, this would have been the most important moment for the bandits.
These battleships are all Salga battleships, and for Fang Xiang, the meaning is naturally different. This was the greatest contribution of the Salga's to the bandit army. They not only represent the integration of the Salga's people in this group, but also the cornerstone of the current growth of the bandit army.
She smiled and tilted her head: "Do you want to go and see together?" ”
Fang Xiang's suggestion immediately attracted the echo of Chekov and others. As soon as you think of battleships, you have to enter the fleet combat sequence. Everyone was a little impatient.
After this battle, the bandit army can be regarded as gaining a foothold in the Mars Free Passage. This group also consisted of a destroyer, more than a thousand pirates and a dilapidated base. Explosively turned into a behemoth that now has two space bases, six full-fledged infantry divisions, two armored divisions, three battle fleets, and a logistics fleet.
However, compared to the regular fleets of the Western Covenant countries, the bandit army was still too weak. By the standards of the previous Leray. At present, the main ships are only cruiser-class bandit fleets, but they are equivalent to a B-class sub-fleet of regular fleets. And the subordinate fleets of those genres and the thousands of ships of various types captured by the Northern Alliance are not useful at all when they encounter the regular fleet!
Therefore, the core force of the bandit army at present is the two battleships and an aircraft carrier that are being transformed!
This is cutting-edge force that money can't buy! Once the modification is done. The strength of the bandit army will leap to a new level. Not only can you come and go freely in the free lanes, and you can take life and death from those merchant pirate fleets, but you can also have the ability to attack the Western Continent transport fleet! Those transport ships, transporting military supplies, take a bite. Mouth full of oil. It's bigger than robbing an ordinary merchant group and a smuggling fleet a hundred times!
In the noise of everyone, the fat man naturally did not disappoint the fun, and immediately waved his hand, pulled his leg and walked out: "Let's go, go and see." As it happens, I have something to show you too. ”
Out of the command room, a group of senior officers made a noisy run to the dock.
The fat man who walked in front was the most excited, tens of billions of funds, a fleet with aircraft carriers and battleships. This was unthinkable before!
Having money and warships means being strong!
When he was eight years old, he took the money to the headquarters of the Lelei branch of the Spring Hall, begging to open the production of the discontinued hip swinging head A-type classic version of the professional inflatable doll, and the scene of being sternly rejected resurfaced in front of the fat man's eyes.
One day, lead the battleship to the door, and I'm afraid of the boss of the Spring Hall. Dare to pop out of your teeth for half a word?
When I think of the loss and pain of my childhood. Today, when there was finally hope of making amends, the fat man trembled with excitement. As for being president and marshal. He didn't think it was in line with his ideals. In the spotlight, what else should you do to bully men and women?
Walking into the dock, the first thing the fat man saw was the aircraft carrier under construction in the newly expanded mobile No. 2 dock.
In the oval-shaped mobile dock, thousands of workers, mechanics, and engineering mechs, like ants, work nervously on countless mobile workbenches or in the unsealed structure of the aircraft carrier. Instruments, naval guns, and strange-shaped parts are being hoisted up by mechanical arms. Throughout the dockyard, sparks flew and flashed one after another, and the roar and banging of machines were endless.
Beneath the transparent floor of the dock, the massive body of the completed mothership can be seen. The part that is now being built in the mobile dock is the electronic systems such as fire control radar on the highest level of the aircraft carrier bridge. As a machinist, the fat man knows that these electronically controlled systems are carried out after the mechanical systems. Looking at the progress, it won't be long before the overall construction of this aircraft carrier can be completed.
Passing through the mobile dock, following a semicircular metal passage and passing through several sealed doors, it is close to the No. 1 dock in the harbor. Ascending to the highest general console, two huge battleships appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The battleship has just completed its final tests, and dozens of researchers in white uniforms are disassembling probes from the warship with mobile monitors, data collectors, scanners and other instruments.
The fat man quietly looked at the two battleships in front of him. The battleship was 800 meters long and 300 meters wide, with the widest part of the guns on both sides exceeding 400 meters, and the highest part of the tail also exceeding 260 meters. Lying quietly in the boat, they are like two stranded sharks. The shadow of the Napoleon-class battleships of Salga is already completely invisible.
"The two battleships were equipped with eight new power compartments and sixteen groups of ion turbine thrusters. The speed is 2.5 times that of the previous Napoleon-class battleships. Fang Xiang held the railing of the console, her slender and plump body, leaning forward slightly, and her bright face. Full of obsession: "One 4600 mm main gun, six 2300 mm secondary guns, sixty-two 1100 mm rotary guns and five hundred 300 mm automatic defense guns, they are like two hedgehogs!" ”
"Hull structure. It is designed according to the split drawings you gave. Fully capable of high-speed ramming. Fang Xiang looked back at the fat man and said: "The energy shield is a double-layer structure just designed by the logistics department, even if it is continuously concentrated three cannons by the main gun of a unicorn battleship at close range, the energy shield will not collapse." Coupled with the energy decomposition energy storage device, it only takes ten minutes, and the alert-level energy shield can completely restore the strength of the defense! ”
The fat man looked at Fang Xiang blankly. This ripe woman. Leaning back slightly, looking back at his posture, he doesn't look like the classic version of the sister he fell in love with when he was eight years old!!
"To be honest, although I only know these basic things, and I haven't actually experienced more improvements, but," Fang Xiang didn't know the dirty thoughts in the head of his "younger brother". She had become completely obsessed with the two battleships. "I can't describe them in words. In terms of performance, this battleship may only be ranked in the top fifteen of the battleships of various countries! But I can't measure the combat effectiveness. ”
Immeasurable. Fang Xiang was telling the truth, without the slightest exaggeration.
Although in terms of performance, the warships transformed in this dockyard have no way to compete with the superpowers' supershipbuilding system integrated products in many aspects such as electronics and fire control, but. In space battles, victory or defeat is not measured by the performance of the battleship, there are too many factors that affect the victory or defeat of the battle.
And this battleship, in fact, has gone out of the category of traditional battleships. In Fang Xiang's opinion, this battleship, compared to the unicorn of the Feiyang Republic, is more suitable for the environment of the free lane, and the combat method is more varied. Sometimes. These mean victory.
"I really don't know where you got these technologies." Fang Xiang shook his head with a wry smile, turned around, and said to the fat man, "I know why you agreed to my appointment for half a year so firmly. With these techniques, I am reluctant to leave, even if I have to go" Fang Xiangmei's eyes were smart, with a joking expression on her face: "I also want to take away all the science and technology studios that you dug up." Can't be all cheap for you alone! ”
"If you want to go now. People I can't give you. These technologies don't matter. I'll give it all to you. The fat man said humbly: "But you have to look at something before making a decision?" ”
"You want to drive me away?" Fang Xiang smiled: "What good things do you have again?" ”
"I'm back this time. That's what it's for. The fat man turned on the communicator: "Lao Shi, are your things finished?" ”
With the fat man's voice, one of the several researchers next to the battleship waved his hand at the console. Everyone recognized it at a glance, it was Shi Chengling, a master mechanic who had locked himself in the research room that Belch had specially isolated when he came to the base, and had been immersed in research.
Everyone looked at each other. Obviously, there was something maddening about the technology done!
The bandit army may be weak somewhere else. However, since the fat man put the scientific and technological strength of the Mars Freeport in one pot, in terms of scientific and technological strength, the bandit army is definitely not weaker than any sovereign country.
This comparison, of course, is not comprehensive. In many fields, those sovereign states that have numerous universities and scientific research institutions and have established a complete scientific system are obviously much stronger in terms of talent and theoretical applications. However, this does not mean that their overall strength is much stronger than that of Mars's scientific community!
If the scientific community of a sovereign country is compared to a famous and decent person, then the Mars scientific community is a group of demons and evil ways!
These scientific monsters of the free world, geniuses and madmen. They think more freely, or rather, crazier than scholars in sovereign states! In a sense, such a person is a natural scientist. They focus on their research and never give up until they achieve their goals.
In a sovereign state, there are all kinds of laws and rules, and those who dare to think may not dare to do it.
But in the free world, these Frankensteins are here to get rid of their shackles, and they stay in the free world for one purpose. That's to study whatever you want! In order to obtain the resources needed for research, they are constantly developing new products. In order to achieve research breakthroughs, they communicate and collaborate freely.
This is being fed and bound to the sovereign state of the earth. Almost unimaginable.
There are many, many scientists who were already masters in their fields before coming to Mars.
After arriving in a world that was locked down and excluded by the Supreme Council of Mankind, they came into contact with the technology that Mars had developed on his own. These technologies are included by pirates, adventurers. The merchant group and all the Mars people of all religions and nine ranks, developed in order to survive in this bloody and barren world. They are a great inspiration and help to these scientists. For thousands of years, these scientific maniacs who have flocked to Mars have in turn influenced the development of Mars technology.
The road is one foot high. The magic is high.
The bandit army's current mecha and warships use many technologies, and in the eyes of Fang Xiang, Chekov and others, they are definitely beyond the reach of the technology they have been exposed to before. And these are the results of these scientific studios of Mars.
As you can imagine, one needs to be isolated from the research room by Belch, and it needs to be in one-line contact with the fat man. What level of technology will be able to bring the fat man back to the base when it is completed. You must know that in the eyes of these scientists, this fat man is a generation of masters. None of them were convinced, so they listened to the fat man. Not only because the fat man saved them, but also because of the fat man's astonishing mechanical attainments.
Everyone held their breath and stared intently at Shi Chengling and several scientists next to the battleship.
"Let's get ready and go!" The breath of a fat man. Apparently there was also some rush.
After a few minutes of silence, Shi Chengling walked into the battleship. After another ten minutes, he walked out again and stood next to an instrument connected to the battleship.
"The trial begins." In the fat man's communicator, Shi Chengling's voice came: "I hope that everyone present can witness this great moment." This belongs to Mars, to the bandits, to me. It is also the moment that belongs to General Tian Xingjian. If it weren't for the genius of General Tian. I'm afraid, this moment has come. It's going to take many years! ”
Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, the fat man smiled and said: "I helped a little technically, I used the principle of magic and illusion to give him a few small suggestions." ”
There was a muffled "buzz" sound, and it continued to be heard.
Everyone stared at the battleship they were testing, and they knew it was the sound of the battleship's power bay engine starting. In the universe, battleships are silent, but in this closed dock, the sound goes straight to the head.
What exactly is a test? Weapon systems? Electronic systems? Defense system?
What does the fat man mean when it comes to magic and illusion?
All the confusion had just emerged, and after a few moments, everyone was no longer thinking. Their eyes widened and their mouths widened. Horror, ecstasy, shock, all kinds of expressions are wonderful.
In front of them, several lasers from different angles hit the battleship. The bow of the battleship was slowly disappearing quickly, as if it was swallowed up by the void, only to see a few blue arcs twist and flash, and the part of the battleship that disappeared suddenly expanded, and then disappeared in front of everyone as a whole. And with the disappearance of the battleship, the lasers, which were originally blocked, crossed over and extended straight into the distance.
"God!" Chekov's eyes widened like brass bells, and his whole body trembled.
Behind him, the big heads Karl and Macvich, Barbarossa, and several Salga officers were even more dumbfounded. A Salga officer even grabbed the collar of his companion and shook it, asking if this was the truth. Unfortunately, the companion who was caught swayed like a puppet, his eyes were straight, and he could not say a word.
Fang Xiang and Audrey, on the other hand, covered their mouths with their hands, and their two pairs of big eyes looked at the fat man in unison.
"Succeeded" The fat man's honest expression that he had always maintained could no longer be maintained. In ecstasy, the corners of his mouth were pulled under the roots of his ears, and his eyes glowed, like demonic joy.
Finally, a hilarious laugh sounded in the dock: "Hahahahaha! Seuss transport fleet, wash your ass and wait! Lao Tzu is here! ”.
First of all, the setting of the optical bias guide is not invincible, when using the stealth state, the ion engine cannot be started, and the ordinary engine without light can only be used to slow down or adjust the ship's attitude. Moreover, the protective cover cannot be opened. In other words, this thing is used for sneak attacks and ambushes.
