In the territory of Great Xia, the eighth star sector, a single hyperspace channel is hidden in a galaxy.

A pilot project for the application of new technologies in Daxia is underway here.

A ship stands in the starry sky, unpainted, still in the primary color of steel, and the overall appearance is a flat triangular rectangular shape.

The length is about 2,500 meters, and the width is nearly 1,000 meters.

There are a large number of point defense systems on both sides, and there are no missile slots and weapon slots.

The antenna array stretched from head to tail, revealing multiple beaming green columns.

There are two small docks on the underside of the tail for carrier-based aircraft.

This is the debut of the [Albatross Aircraft Carrier]!

In the star base of the system, scientists began to issue orders to the ship for experiments.

"OK, carrier-based aircraft system test, for the first time!"

"Roger!"

After the albatross aircraft carrier's communication was replied, the small dock barrier on the hull of the ship was opened, and a number of carrier-based aircraft similar in size to frigates sailed out and quickly surrounded the perimeter of the space carrier.

Each carrier-based aircraft is controlled by a combat crew, plus combat AI assistance.

A total of sixteen carrier-based aircraft, all equipped with kinetic weapons, focused on close-range defensive combat.

After all the carrier-based aircraft sailed out, a circular defensive array was formed around the aircraft carrier.

Inside the ship, the commander of the aircraft carrier is obviously one level higher than the average warship commander.

Strictly speaking, the aircraft carrier should be in command of the fleet, directly under the command of the Imperial Fleet.

Because, the combat mode of an aircraft carrier does not exist as an attack ship.

Its appearance will definitely bring a large number of warships!

"The carrier-based aircraft array sensor is detected correctly, and there are no problems with all carrier-based aircraft!"

"Okay received!"

In the stellar base, the researchers entered the data on the functional items of the carrier-based aircraft and marked the finished pattern.

"Next, it's time to test the array induction, and it's time to begin."

With this test command, the Albatross aircraft carrier emitted a powerful electromagnetic wave that was invisible.

It is like a sphere of Tesla, shrouded in a radius of thousands of kilometers.

"The sensor array has been turned on, and the battleship can come over."

Inside the aircraft carrier, the command ordered an integrated fleet to enter the shrouded range.

"Roger." Soon after the command of the integrated fleet was ordered, it came to the range of the aircraft carrier's sensing array.

From the probe, the Albatross aircraft carrier is connected to these warships in a chain of light, changing as it moves.

The commander of the integrated fleet saw the data and was pleasantly surprised: "The lock-in bonus is definitely valid!" Now we have 2 points more lock distance. ”

The Sensing Array is a major feature of the Albatross, which allows friendly forces to scan longer and, if necessary, interfere with the communication channels of enemy fleets.

The unique communication technology of the Honghua Empire has been integrated into this new type of ship.

Another project was successfully verified, and the researchers ticked it again.

There are quite a few remaining projects.

Thanks to the increased size of the Albatross aircraft carrier, it has a very large storage space.

Food, resources, armament parts..... and nanomaterials.

In any galaxy where it exists, other ships can perform simple maintenance, and do not need to return to the star base to be repaired.

This technology of long-distance repair and maintenance has increased the combat time of a large number of fleets.

The items to experiment with are completed one by one until the end of the list.

"Alright, the final project, the nearby ships are all near the albatross."

The scientist exhaled, ready to carry out the final project.

Remote Energy, a special technology that instantly replenishes the energy of warships, was developed from the effects of the Star Eater crystal.

When activated, the connected ship can not only increase the cycle time of various equipment, but also perform overloading at critical times, achieving terrifying bonus abilities.

Something like "You've been strengthened, get on!" Amazing effect.

"Roger!"

"The third formation received!"

"Arrived in three minutes..."

....

The battleships that had been surrounding the albatross began to move towards the center, forming a larger circular array.

A moment later, a dazzling ball of light emanated from inside the aircraft carrier.

This time, even with the naked eye, you can see the chains of light connecting all the ships.

The movement of the ship, coupled with the shaking of the light chain, made the entire area seem to have turned into a huge net of light bars, which is extremely gorgeous.

"The number of connected warships 100,180,250,310,333...."

Albatross aircraft carrier operators reported on the connection information, which was finally set at 345 ships.

"It's so strong, is this the strength of a large reactor, it can supply energy to so many warships!"

Many warship commanders were shocked to see the increased energy of the ship.

"This is just an ordinary state, it is impossible to overload the whole group, and it can maintain an overload of 20 battleships at most."

In the newsletter, the researchers dismissed the idea of their take-off.

But even so, most people were excited, this is the ability of a ship, with the strength of the Great Xia Empire, how could it be possible to build one.

At least ten or eight.

If it weren't for the difficulty of training the fleet's personnel, they would even fantasize about a hundred ships, which would be invincible!

Ignoring the dreams of the fighters.

The researchers truthfully integrated the data and uploaded it to the research institute.

Half an hour later.

went to the chief scientist Tina, and started a communication with Chu Hua to report the situation.

"Congratulations, the development and application of albatross is very smooth, if you don't have any demand to increase, you can officially land."

Tina looked at the data and said with a happy face.

It's not easy, the development of the albatross has been completed for so long, and now it is finally completed.

Hearing such good news, Chu Hua was also full of smiles, "Very good, really good!" ”

Albatross's abilities were much stronger than he had imagined.

An aircraft carrier that can provide a large bonus to a fleet of 600-900 scales.

What is this concept?

In terms of combat power data, the overall combat power of a turtledove cruiser will increase by 100% with such a bonus!

What a staggering statistic.

Battleships are a little less, but they also have a 25%-35% bonus, which is not bad.

If it is used exclusively for battleships, the bonus will be even higher.

And there is a remote maintenance function, almost the same as a powerful nurse.

"Sure enough, it's no wonder that aircraft carriers have been called Hangma's since ancient times."

"However, this is not a low cost..."

The overall data of the albatross came to him.

【Albatross Aircraft Carrier】

[Equipment]: Information Warfare Command Pulse Wave Device*2, Array Locking System*4, Large Remote Capacitor Transmission Device*4, Remote Armor Repairer*4, Carrier-based Aircraft*16, Large Nano Armor, Large Advanced Shield, Antimatter Reactor*2, Plasma Thruster......

[Armor]: 22000

[Damage]: 150

[Speed]: 150

[Evasion]: 15%

[Daily Maintenance Cost]: 0.01% (cost)

[Comprehensive Combat Power Value]: 4500

[Cost]: 13,000 alloys, 16,000 energy coin comprehensive resources, 30 days.

In terms of combat capabilities, the albatross is still a little worse only by carrier-based aircraft, and on the whole, it is mainly defensive.

And there is a lot more need for professional combat personnel.

It's not the same as a normal battleship.

They are a minority of professional combatants and a majority of soldiers.

Aircraft carriers are not good, almost all professional combatants.

"Let's build five ships first, even if there is a construction bonus, it will take more than ten days....."

After thinking about it, Chu Hua set up a more appropriate number of construction projects.

The point is that the area around Great Xia has been very stable recently, and there are no wars, and building too much will not do you any benefit except for wasting resources and manpower.

Not to mention that the orbital ring is still waiting for the next phase of the project, and then it will be a large amount of resource expenditure.

Even the income of hundreds of thousands of units of resources per month is not so pleasant.

But before that, let's upgrade the tech level to 8.0.

Thankfully, this goal is about to be achieved...
