Chapter 58: The Seventh Fleet
It took a full three years—this time was enough for Chen Yue to build dozens of large-scale scientific research centers, and Chen Yue was able to build the first comet-class battleship.
It has an unprecedented mass of 100,000 tons, and is powered by four fusion power stations and 1,240 ion thrusters to propel it.
In terms of armor, Chen Yue spared no effort to pile up the tried and tested inclined armor and reactive armor.
The kind of special alloy steel used to make its armor, because of the extremely high technical content, the process is too cumbersome, and the production is too difficult, even with Chen Yue's industrial strength, the output is extremely low, with an annual output of only 100,000 tons. And the armor of this comet-class spaceship took up a full 10,000 tons!
The consumption of various precious materials made even Chen Yue feel a little distressed.
Not only that, but the first comet-class warship is also equipped with an ultra-high-precision radar scanning and laser defense system for the first time in history.
Stardust-class and Nebula-class warships also have some interstellar missile interception capabilities. When they detect an interstellar missile attacking, they will use their own electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons, and even missiles specially designed to intercept them.
When it is really impossible to intercept it, there will be tactical moves to evade it, as well as release decoys to confuse the interstellar missile.
But in the face of the most common and the largest number of electromagnetic cannon projectiles in the interstellar battlefield, they are powerless, and can only rely on armor hard resistance, or when too many electromagnetic cannon projectiles are detected, they can actively avoid them in advance.
This thing is so small and so fast, how can you intercept it? It's simply not realistic.
Comet-class ships are different.
In addition to its more powerful interstellar missile interception capabilities, it can intercept even tiny, extremely high-speed electromagnetic cannon projectiles!
The ultra-high-precision radar scanning system equipped on it can accurately scan all objects within 1,000 kilometers and with a volume of more than 0.01 cubic millimeters, and can map their forward direction and trajectory in real time.
Once it perceives that it is a threat to itself and may hit itself, then the rapid interception of the electromagnetic cannon and the laser cannon can immediately be under the command of the radar scanning system, accurately aim at the target, according to different situations, or fire a laser and rely on the cauterization of the laser to make it change course, or directly launch an electromagnetic cannon projectile and rely on kinetic energy impact to make it change direction.
At an interval of hundreds of kilometers, in the face of a tiny target with a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second and a volume of only 0.2 cubic millimeters or less, how precise is the control and reaction speed required to launch a laser to accurately hit it, or to launch an electromagnetic cannon projectile to hit it accurately?
In the past, this was something that Chen Yue didn't dare to imagine at all. But at this moment, this system has been realized on the comet-star spacecraft.
In the actual exercise, this system showed an effect that amazed Chen Yuedu.
The comet-class battleship stood right there, not attacking at all, only defending. More than a thousand kilometers away, there were more than a hundred Stardust-class warships scattered in all directions.
The Stardust-class battleship was in full swing, and hundreds of electromagnetic guns attacked with all their might, and thousands of projectiles hit it in a second.
Even if it were a Nebula-class battleship, it would have been destroyed long ago under such an attack. But under the defense of that set of active defense system, under the constant fire of electromagnetic guns and laser cannons, more than 95% of the electromagnetic cannon projectiles could not hit it at all!
The few remaining projectiles were also blocked by heavy armor.
You are stormy, and I am immovable.
The formidable combat effectiveness of the comet-class battleship was fully revealed.
"It is worthy of an existence that can affect the entire battlefield situation."
At this moment, even Chen Yue, the maker, expressed his heartfelt admiration.
"That's it...... It's too expensive. ”
Recalling the construction process of this comet-class battleship, Chen Yue's heart was dripping blood.
The special alloys used to build the armor are only a fraction of the precious materials consumed. The rest, the internal communication system, the steering system of the quick-turning electromagnetic gun and the laser cannon, some parts of the high-precision radar, etc., are all things that Chen Yue has worked very hard to build.
This is one of the reasons why this automatic defense system cannot be popularized on Stardust and Nebula-class ships.
In addition to the fact that the volume mass is too large, the energy consumption is too large, and it is too complex, this is the reason.
Too "expensive". Chen Yue simply couldn't make so many materials and parts in a short period of time.
With this comet-class battleship, Chen Yue felt that his combat system was complete.
Stardust, Nebula, Comet, three levels of warships, respectively bear the responsibility of first-line blood, regional fulcrum, and strategic support, and a fleet becomes a whole, which can release more powerful combat effectiveness.
It was only at this moment that Chen Yue's heart was a little more stable. Because he knows that he is finally no longer the fish on the board, and no matter who comes, he can easily dispose of his state.
I really have a certain ability to protect myself. Even if you can't defeat the enemy, relying on these military forces, you can break a few teeth of the enemy.
Chen Yue's gaze once again looked in the direction of Wang Liang's three-star system.
The observation of Wang Liang's three-star system has continued for hundreds of years. Observation data shows that the war that took place in Wang Liang's three-star system has not stopped, but has a tendency to intensify.
"I hope you don't mess with me. I just want to develop quietly on my own, and I don't want to have disputes with any civilization or any force. ”
Chen Yue thought silently.
But he also knew very well that without strong force, peace would be nothing more than empty talk.
"The size of the fleet still needs to be expanded. Comet-class battleships had to have three to barely be enough. There must be at least 500 Nebula-class battleships and at least 20,000 Stardust-class ships! ”
Chen Yue made up his mind.
……
In the vast void of space, a giant "Feng" shaped spaceship with a maximum distance of more than ten kilometers is rapidly slowing down its speed under the vigorous propulsion of hundreds of thousands of engines all over the body.
When its speed decreases to 10% of the speed of light, or about 30,000 kilometers per second, the deceleration stops.
Inside the cabin, in the hibernation room, in a hibernation warehouse, Mo Zhuo, the commander of the Seventh Fleet of the Mosoti Civilization, slowly opened his three eyes and sat up a little tiredly.
A phrase translated into the language of the Mosothy civilization came to his ears.
"The Helicarrier has sailed to its intended position and has slowed down to a predetermined speed. It's time for you to set off with your fleet. ”
