How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 225 New Combat Preparation (Part 2)

"You said from the home planet..."

"Yes, in the parent star defense system we envisioned, these modified long-range autonomous ships have an independent organization, and undertake the task of attracting firepower to the fleet and blocking the enemy."

"Well... there is one more thing to tell you. The battleship organization of frigates, destroyers, and cruisers has been cancelled, and the remaining mothership-class and battleship formations are what the generals meant. They originally wanted to report to you, but now that you have come , then I will report to you in advance."

Originally, escorts, expulsions, and cruisers were promoted step by step. Escorts were the earliest battleships. Expulsions were born to deal with escorts, and cruisers were born to deal with expulsions. Then there were battleships and motherships, and later appeared The spiral array theory, from which the autonomous ship was born.

This is the history of the development of the Celine starships. Nowadays, escorts, expulsions, and cruisers are no longer useful. They cannot break the enemy's defenses, and it is difficult to resist the enemy's offensive. The reason why the battleships are retained is to consider the spiral array and In the battle of Chihe, it has the effect of breaking the enemy's spiral array. If it weren't for this, even the battleship would be revoked.

"Well, I see, then you can continue to introduce."

"yes."

Seeing that the head of state did not say anything, the person in charge continued the introduction just now.

"Then there is the swarm boom. It is a weapon that has been put into use. I believe you have also seen its role in the Battle of Chihe."

"A collective detonation composed of multiple detonations. Once the sensor warhead senses the heat exceeding the threshold, it will burst and release the sub-body detonation. This will not only increase the enemy's defense pressure, but also because it is necessary to recalculate the trajectory for interception. Put more effort into it, and the pressure on the frontal fleet will be less."

When introducing this, the person in charge was very excited, because this is indeed a meritorious service on the battlefield. It can even be said that if it were not for this weapon, it would be difficult to say whether the empire could win the Battle of Red Hell.

"Because it is already a mature design, we just adjusted the equivalent so that the swarm boom can be added to the mothership-level ammunition depot."

The head of state nodded, and then the person in charge introduced the next technical product.

"Cluster pulse radar is a more powerful radar. On the basis of traditional radar, we make radio waves clustered. Although it is not as wide-area and omni-directional as the original radar, it has enough energy. Let the further goals become clear."

"Because of this, the effective range of all warships in the empire will increase a lot."

The head of state nodded, he knew what the other party said meant.

In a vacuum, light can travel infinitely. In theory, it is also feasible to strike the target of another galaxy from one galaxy, but it is impossible to do it in practice, because the universe is not a vacuum in the true sense because of interstellar dust, so the power will increase with the distance. elongated and weakened.

However, the 'small' scale in the same star system can be roughly regarded as not reducing the power, but the effective range will actually be reduced due to the speed of light. With a computer, this aspect will be compensated, and the computer will predict The position of the enemy unit in a few seconds or a few minutes later, and the accuracy of computer prediction is directly proportional to the clarity of radar observation. The more information obtained from observation, the more accurate the prediction.

"I've heard the generals talk about the sonic sustained oscillator. Tell me about the nano-mothership that I don't know about."

"learn."

The person in charge entered the password, and retrieved the projection of the nano-mothership. It was a sphere, and it was said to be a battleship, but from the projection effect, it seemed to be a mass of liquid, without pulse jet ports, and without any main turrets.

"This is a warship designed with another concept. It follows the original idea of ​​giant ship cannons. It can also be said to be another extreme design in a certain sense. As you can see, it is a mass of... uh …nanomachines, held together by gravity because of their mass."

"Liquid battleship? Are you sure this is not a joke?"

Nodens on the side stared straight at his eyes, no matter what he couldn't equate the liquid in the projection with the huge starship galloping across the battlefield.

The person in charge didn't say much, and called in another projection to compare the nano-mothership and Serene's mother-star in the projection. At this time, the two heads of state could correctly recognize how huge this nano-mothership is.

Equivalent to one third of the size of Serene's parent star, it can already be used as a planet in a star system!

"Our plan is to remove excess mass from a planet in the star system, directly transform it into a nano-mothership, and use the core of the planet itself as the overall support of the mothership."

"There are no more than two ways to deal with it. Either use antimatter to neutralize the mass, or use star-level energy to 'blow away'. Otherwise, the nano-mothership will not have any mass loss due to the gravitational effect, whether it is laser or sublight speed bombardment. All these means of attack are ineffective, and no amount of fleet will be of use.”

The head of state showed a thoughtful look, and rubbed his chin subconsciously. Those who are familiar with him know that when the head of state subconsciously appears this action while thinking, it means that he has paid a lot of attention to something or something, even You can do the crazy behavior of "100-year shipbuilding" in the history of the empire again without hesitation.

"Is such a warship really capable of fighting? Just defending is not enough."

"Of course, the attack system on the nano-mothership is to copy the mother star Selene, but the load is a quarter smaller than that of the Selene home star, but it doesn't matter, right? The nano-machine guarantees that the nano-mothership can The damaged attack system can be quickly restored at any time, so even if the size is smaller than that of Serene's home planet, it does not necessarily mean that Serene's home planet will have a greater chance of winning in a real exchange of fire."

"And in a short period of time, you can recklessly shape some temporary super-giant weapons, such as adjusting the entire nano-mothership into a particle accelerator, or a magnetic rail gun, or..."

"In addition, as a combat unit, the nano-mothership is also a manufacturing unit. Rings can be built on the orbit of the nano-mothership. The entire planet is a super-giant arsenal. It can even quickly dismember an earth-like planet in a short period of time and create a huge fleet."

"It's crazy..."

Nodens murmured blankly, he was completely frightened, according to the person in charge's description, he could already imagine a fleet moving around the 'planet' in space.

"So how long will it take to build this kind of warship? Although we don't know the exact time, we can be sure that the next time we engage the enemy is not far away."

The head of state was not dazzled by such a warship with superior performance.

"Yes, this kind of warship takes a long time due to its size. The reason for this research project is mainly to consider the protracted war that the empire may face. Once the star strategy makes a mistake, the empire can at least have a contingency The plan is available for reference."

"Don't wait any longer. Since it's an emergency plan, let's arrange some people to carry it out. However, the direction of the empire's main resources will not be tilted because of this. The resources allocated to you are limited, so you can figure it out."

"Yes! I will arrange it immediately!"
