Chapter 1454: A True Starship
Seeing that there seems to be a sense of contempt in Anne's words, NO. 1 said proudly: "Major Admiral Anne, do you know that we now have five starships in Huaxia and are cruising in space. "From NO. 1's tone is not difficult to hear, didn't you say that we in Huaxia can't afford to build a single starship? But we in Huaxia now have five, what do you say? Even if you have been the commander of the Royal Tenth Fleet of the Bodo Empire, an expert in space warfare, and have experienced countless space battles, you can't be untrustworthy?
Anne smiled slightly, and said: "Chief, I have seen the photos of those five starships, to be honest, they are not starships at all, they can only be called starships, even if they are interstellar bandits, they don't disdain this kind of spaceship, and they are generally just used by some small traders and peddlers who risk smuggling." There are several aircraft carriers in country M, but when I saw the photos, I thought it was ridiculous, just those few small broken ships, also called motherships, can only say that I have never seen a real mothership. If I'd ever seen a real mothership, I don't think I would have taken that name. ”
NO。 1 immediately changed, turned his head to look at Wu Lai, Wu Lai shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Chief, what she said is the truth. "Like the five warships that Wu Lai asked Stark 1 to build at that time, they were actually petty fights, and they were actually embarrassing to take out, but despite this, in the environment of the earth, they are already super weapons that can sweep the earth. Stark 1 once said that such an interstellar mothership is not called an interstellar mothership at all, if it were not for Wu Lai's insistence, it would not be able to build it, and it felt that the construction of this so-called interstellar battleship was very, very cheap.
"General Xiao Lai, weren't you fooling the old chief at the beginning?" 1 asked a little angrily.
If someone else had been talking to Wu Lai like this, Wu Lai would have slapped him tens of thousands of miles away, but for NO. 1 As the supreme leader of China, Wu Lai still gives enough respect.
Wu Lai patiently explained: "Chief, it's not that I'm fooling Chairman Li, but with our Huaxia's economic strength and basic national conditions at that time, we can't afford to build a real starship at all, even now, if our Guanyu Group builds a few more such starships, Huaxia can't afford to maintain them." Chairman Li is very clear about this. Wu Lai muttered in his heart: "Those five starships are given away for nothing, and even the cost of repair and maintenance is borne by the Guanyu Group, and the state bears the cost of personnel, are you still not satisfied? Is it not possible for the state to take advantage of it? How can there be such a good thing? Although I am patriotic, I am not a fool, and I am still counting the money for them after being sold by others." ”
NO。 1 only then remembered that although Huaxia had raised such a space fleet over the years, it had not borne much cost at all, and he thought that he didn't need to spend any money at all. Now that we think about it seriously, the annual expenditure on the maintenance of those conventional weapons accounts for a very large proportion, not to mention these five starships that represent the highest level of science and technology? Even if the quality is good, maintenance will also cost money! Why is the cost low? It can only be said that the Guanyu Group has really paid a lot for Huaxia silently. THOUGHT OF THIS, NO. 1. Suddenly I felt some fever on my face.
Anne said, "Cousin Wu Lai is right. Even if the real starship Guanyu Group can build it, Huaxia can't afford to build it, and it needs to invest a lot of money. With China's current economic strength, it is not enough to mobilize the strength of the whole country. In addition, it is necessary to build a large spaceport for interstellar warships to enter and exit, to provide supporting facilities for repair and maintenance services, and to have enough energy and sufficient strategic material reserves, otherwise, even if a real interstellar warship is built, it will be no different from scrap metal, and it will not be able to form combat effectiveness. ”
"And what does a real starship mean?" 1 asked humbly.
Anne said: "Starships generally include starmotherships, starships, and stardestroyers. Interstellar carriers can be divided into fleet carriers, escort carriers, reconnaissance carriers, attack carriers, etc. General fleet carriers and frigates are the main interstellar carriers. In our Bodo Empire and even in the Otlan system, the starships are divided into four classes according to their length. The first-class mothership, with a length of more than 20,000 meters, is the highest class of interstellar carriers. ”
NO。 1 couldn't help exclaiming: "More than 20,000 meters, oh my God, the length is 20 kilometers, how big it should be!"
It is really unimaginable that such a huge warship can be built, so it can only be said that the creative power of human beings is infinite, and the power of human beings is also infinite. In fact, the horizon of human beings on Earth is still too small. The first-class interstellar mothership is indeed huge, but compared to the vast universe and space, it is actually similar to a speck of dust.
Anne went on to explain: "The first-class mothership is generally only owned by powerful empires, and it takes a long time, often more than ten years, and it also consumes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. However, the first-class mothership is a symbol of national strength, a symbol of national strength, and a real national weapon, and many countries do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a first-class mothership. It is equipped with a powerful superweapon, which is about the same status as a nuclear bomb on Earth. ”
NO。 1. Dumbfounded. It took only ten years to build an interstellar mothership with a length of more than 20,000 meters, which shows that alien technology is already quite advanced. You know, on Earth, it often takes eight to ten years to build an aircraft carrier. The largest and largest Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in country M is more than 300 meters long, which is nothing compared to 20,000 meters. In terms of length, the first-class mothership is sixty or seventy times that of the Nimitz, and nearly a hundred times as wide. The construction time is the same, but the amount of work, the technical complexity and so on are not the same.
I only heard Anne continue to introduce: "The length of the second-class mothership is between 10,000 meters and 20,000 meters, and the length of the third-level mothership is between 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters. Fourth-class motherships, less than five thousand meters in length, but generally more than two thousand meters. And ordinary interstellar warships, the length is more than a thousand meters. That's why I said that our five starships in China can only be called starships. ”
In the Doomsday Fleet, Jerry once introduced the division of the starship to Wu Lai. They divided the starship into four levels, which is actually similar to what Anne said, but the name is different. The development of science and technology in the universe is all on the same path, just like cultivation.
In the end, Anne concluded: "Therefore, our Chinese space force can only be called a space advance team in fact. ”
