Chapter 100 GTS250 and HD2400
The current missile volume is still too large, and even the loading capacity of the Canglong battleship can only hold 16 rounds.
Although it is said that the size of the battleship can be expanded, so that the volume can be increased.
But this is the real reversal, the fleet is too large, it is completely because the technology is not well integrated, and can only be replaced by large parts, which is not only bloated but also inefficient.
Achieving the optimal configuration within the right hull size is the advancement of warship technology.
"The emergence of the GTS250 missile can increase the amount of bombs on board the warship by an order of magnitude, and it can carry out more targeted attacks during combat."
"At the same time, the utilization rate of the missile bay has increased, so that the total blasting damage value that the warship can cause has increased a lot."
A number of data were displayed in front of Chu Hua in a simple and clear manner, which also proved that the GTS250 series missiles were not the youth version of the GT610.
Its locking radius, flight time, explosion range, sailing speed...... None of them are lower than the GT610.
And after being reduced by 5 times, it can also have 250 burst damage, which makes the two missile launch bays of the Turtledove Cruiser useful, which is very good.
Chu Hua looked at the data and nodded with satisfaction, missile bombardment has never been the main mode of combat.
He knew that with the improvement of everyone's armor and shield technology, as well as the upgrade of the point defense missile system.
If it's not a surprise, the damage you can do is still quite limited.
Not to mention the armor and shields of the Canglong battleship, the point defense weapons it is loaded with, under the lock of the sensor, can intercept the incoming missiles without spending much resources as long as it takes a few rounds of strafing, so that the opponent's bombing will fail.
Therefore, what deserves attention is not the power of the missile, but the real importance when it can be hit.
It is more advantageous for ships to engage ships by regularizing missile attacks, rather than rounding them out.
"When is this thing going live?"
"And how many GTS250 family missiles can a battleship be able to carry?"
Chu Hua asked.
"There are 30 for the Turtledove cruiser and about 80 for the Soryu battleship."
"It's no longer a problem to go online, it's already in the arms production line, and it only needs the battleship to return to the dock to load the new missile launch bay."
"Thanks to the reduction in the size of the missile, the new missile launcher hatch is no longer a single one, but has been changed to a triple hatch, which can launch three missiles at a time."
Tina uses the Dragon Battleship to demonstrate the form of a new missile launch bay.
The closed armor pops out of the hatch, and a long missile bay protrudes from it, and three missiles protrude out of the three holes, and then fire together.
Chu Hua nodded with satisfaction again, looking at the demonstration screen, he suddenly thought, if hundreds or thousands of warships launch missiles at the same time, what a spectacular scene would it be?
It's not impossible.
And interestingly, the cost of the GTS250 series of missiles is basically the same as that of the GT210 series, which is the benefit of scientific and technological progress.
"In the progress of materials science, in addition to the GTS250, we also have a new series of torpedoes."
Tina drew another blasting weapon, similar in size to the GT610 series missile.
"Although torpedoes are not very useful for ships now, they are still useful against star bases or units that are sailing too slowly."
"The power of the newly developed torpedo has reached about 2400 points, and the model has also been upgraded to HD2400."
"HD2400......." Chu Hua was also a little surprised when he saw the data of the new torpedo, If this hits an ordinary cruiser, it will basically be gone.
Even the Canglong battleship is a bit difficult to resist, at least the armor must be damaged.
"Let's take a look at the optimization of the machine gun....."
More than an hour passed quickly.
The ship technology project was briefly summarized in Tina's explanation.
The equipment of the Great Xia fleet has indeed been updated a lot, such as the recharge efficiency of the turret, the increase in the laser frequency, the strength of the armor, etc., but it is mainly optimized, and it has been improved a little on the original basis.
The research and development of new weapons and equipment is not so simple, and it is impossible to create a new and powerful weapon every time.
After Tina's short break, it was Tina's turn to take the last big project.
It is also one that Chu Hua is very interested in.
【Wormhole】
"After our long-term comparison and exploration, we finally succeeded in discovering the existence of a wormhole in the Huadu galaxy in the territory."
The Huadu Galaxy is located in the southwest of Great Xia, 7 jump points away from the main star, and has an uncolonized habitable planet with many peculiar flower species on it, hence the name Huadu.
An image of the starry sky unfolds, and Tina slowly zooms in.
Soon, the more the scene of deep space zoomed in, the more obvious distortions could be seen.
And next to it, there is a Great Xia exploration ship, which looks like a basketball falling in the corner of the basketball court in comparison.
The wormhole is not that big.
Measured down, the diameter is only 5 kilometers, and the magnificent black hole is completely incomparable, from a distance, the wormhole is like the background of deep space, there is no difference at all, only close enough, the difference can be clearly seen.
Of course, this is also related to the sensor capabilities of the exploration ship.
Speaking of this wormhole alone, it took more than 20 days to determine the location of this wormhole with probe scanning technology.
"Can we already take advantage of it?"
Chu Hua, who saw the wormhole, was amazed, it was obviously a hole, but it looked like a ball, as if someone had lost a glass bead in the starry sky.
According to the imagination of many scientists, wormholes can cross galaxies over long distances to reach unknown places, which is similar to a direct jump.
Tina shook her head, "Unfortunately, we're only going to be able to do stable detection now. ”
"However, the stargate technology chain directly gave us the relevant answer, and the wormhole test project has been prepared."
"During this time, we will send special devices into the wormhole one after another to try to establish a complete connection."
……..
Tina's analysis and explanation gave Chu Hua a deeper understanding of wormholes and fully affirmed the research of the Academy of Sciences.
"We must explore the other side of the wormhole, which is not only related to the construction of the Huadu colony planet, but also the security of the Great Xia."
Chu Hua gave important instructions, the discovery of the wormhole was indeed a surprise, but it was a little unsettling not knowing where to connect, and it was still in Great Xia, so I had to be careful.
"Naturally, according to the current progress, we will complete the wormhole related projects in about six months, and then the ship should be able to directly enter the wormhole."
There are still too many uncertainties in the [wormhole] project, and Tina doesn't want to get away from the empty talk of data.
With this debriefing, this meeting should almost be over.
"Whew~"
Tina breathed a sigh of relief, "That's all for the main projects you've been working on lately, is there anything else Your Majesty has to ask?" ”
Chu Hua thought about it, and finally shook his head, "It's okay, let's do it first." ”
In fact, he has some ideas about the trade between the various empires, especially the various types of trade in the galactic market.
However, after thinking about it, he decided to wait for Cortana to return from the Lanxi Empire and talk about it in detail.
Tina finished her task, put down the tablet in her hand and raised her hands.
"Alright, now it's time for Aaron to report on his recent projects...."
