Chapter 5: Building Ships
Mamba heard about April's question, and that's when he remembered it.
At that time, as soon as I heard about the third ship, the entire "Divine Sleep" base packed up and boarded the "Voyager" transport ship overnight, and almost emptied the entire base.
Now I think that Hobruns's side didn't even report it, which is really a little unfriendly.
"The people of Hoblens have a high level of recognition of our team, and some of them have already gone through basic learning and are considered high-quality people." Fran was positive about bringing in immigrants from the Hobruns Nation.
White Tang thought about something else: "With the sheer size of the third ship, when the Ark takes off, it will have a devastating effect on the entire planet 'Uriel'." ”
"At that time, those who remain on the planet 'Uriel' will definitely suffer a catastrophe." He paused and said, "Perhaps, we want to expand the range of people who board the ark." ”
Mamba didn't seem to agree with his thoughts: "Mr. Tang, the inside of the third-party boat is very large and can accommodate a lot of people, it's true. ”
"But we have to think about the safety of the third party ship first, if it is only the citizens of Hoblens who have been introduced, it is understandable, they are basically normal people, even if it is the Vulcan Church, they only know a little about the use of the fire element."
"But what if it's Xerxes? They are much more dangerous than Hoblens. ”
"And the barbarians who believe in that Roshan in the north, and the Gaians who believe in the god of ice in the east, do you want to bring them to the ark too?"
White Tang thought about it, and it was true that as Mamba said, these people were more or less affected by the power of subspace, and it was too risky to bring them to the third-party ship.
It's just that the thought of thousands of people dying in that disaster makes White Tang a little unbearable.
"If you can't take them away, let them know in advance and let them find a way to hide." White Tang felt as if he had relented after leaving the stone chair.
Fran waved his hand: "Mr. Tang, you better focus on the third-party boat first, and we'll take care of the outside affairs." ”
"The safety and purity of the third-party boat must be impeccable, and to put it mildly, although Miss Elena is very close to us, I am still very worried about whether her presence will pose a danger to us."
When Fran said this, White Tang didn't say much, he nodded and said, "Fran, just do what you want." ”
Before the Hoblens flocked to the Bay base, construction was already in full swing.
The new airport is the most eye-catching.
This new airport, much larger than the "Divine Sleeper", in this airport, in addition to the construction of various warplanes and transport ships, there is also a new construction project.
"Hound-class destroyers." Susie took the blueprint and said to White Tang, "It is a small destroyer, with an empty weight of about 25,000 tons, powered by a Type II fusion energy core. ”
"With an anti-gravity engine and an ion radiation engine, you can navigate the planetary surface and in space."
"The defense system consists of hull shields and six high-energy particle interception systems, and the offensive weapons are 8X12 long-range 'Hellfire' missile attack systems and an annihilation cannon."
"To protect the safety of the Ark's navigation in space, we need at least six to eight of these destroyers, and the construction of one will take at least a year."
White Tang looked at the drawings shown by Susie, and also drooled a little greedily.
This is a real space warship, compared to those thousands of tons of fighters, the firepower and weapon projection distance are not at all a grade.
Take this annihilation cannon, for example, which alone consumes nearly half of the output power of the Type II fusion energy core.
And the power of this cannon is indeed terrifying, if the opponent is also a destroyer of the same level, if it is hit by a cannon, the hull shield is completely paper-paste, and the energy beam is enough to penetrate the entire hull from beginning to end.
If it is used for orbital bombing, the power of each cannon is comparable to that of a megaton nuclear bomb, and the range is a full light second, that is, 300,000 kilometers.
At this distance, even the high-energy laser will become a warm high beam due to the problem of divergence.
And the annihilation cannon can directly deliver 80% of the weapon's energy to such a distance.
Then again, this is just a small-tonnage destroyer.
In the Seventh Fleet of the Federation Star Domain thousands of years ago, the hound-class destroyers were at most responsible for escorting.
In the face of real capital cruisers and battleships, and even interstellar barriers, destroyers of this class are simply small sampans.
And the Seventh Fleet was completely annihilated under the attack of hundreds of millions of Zerg, which shows how ferocious and terrible the battle in space is.
"Once in space, we are likely to be targeted by the enemy." White Tang clapped the door and said: "Defensive weapons are necessary, so let's transfer a batch of space engineering vehicles and build a few more airports." ”
"Then we will increase the collection of mines in Hobrandis and beyond, and we must build these destroyers before the third ship takes off."
"Susie, your main task is to pay attention to the internal structure of the third-party ship, and find someone else to be responsible for building the ship."
Susie thought for a moment and said, "Then let Catherine do it, she is also familiar with the part of ship machinery." ”
White Tang nodded: "Okay, I'll go find Mamba and Fran and ask them to give Catherine the green light and fully support her in building the ship." ”
After receiving a new mission, Catherine rushed to the bay base without stopping.
The base was already crowded with people from all over the world, all of whom wanted to enter the interior of the third-party boat.
However, the "Journey to the Underworld" has been discussed before, and the interior of the Ark is to give priority to the resettlement of the workers under the "Journey to the Underworld" and the immigrants in the rescue capsule, and their priority is naturally to be put back.
For this reason, these people have made trouble many times, but after all, this is the territory of the "Trip to the Underworld", and the punishment of never hiring given by the "Trip to the Underworld" last time has a very powerful effect, and if they come again, then their chances of boarding the ark will be slim.
After Catherine arrived at the bay base, she immediately began a new round of recruitment.
Building more airports requires more space engineering vehicle pilots, and each pilot recruits can provide a family with the right to live inside the Ark.
At this time, the people in the base are desperately trying to grab the selected places, so whether they can stay in the third-party boat will turn into an internal contradiction.
If someone else can get in, why can't you? Isn't it because you're not trying?
