The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1477. Rescue Operation (Final)

Cunte and the others looked over, only to see that as expected, there was an extremely huge battleship ahead!

The 7th area of ​​the Quarter Industrial Star Ring is the Andrium Shipyard. If you look at it from the outside, it is actually an E-shaped structure. Outside the star ring area, there are huge interstellar docks. There are also more than a dozen Knight-class Star Destroyers being outfitted in it now.

However, among those battleships under construction, there is an extremely huge figure that is very conspicuous! That is an incomparably huge warship!

This battleship has a triangular shape as a whole, but it is very heavy. If viewed from the front, the front section structure is also a downward triangle, so the shape of this battleship is more three-dimensional.

This also means that the size of the battleship increases exponentially! For interstellar warships, big equals strong and fast. Sufficient energy supply allows such warships to do things that small spaceships simply cannot do!

And what is even more conspicuous is that the bow of this battleship looks like a hook, and a set of energy transmission structures that should look very complicated and huge are being installed on it.

According to sensor scans, the length of this battleship under construction has reached a terrifying 17.5 kilometers! It is even more than 3 kilometers longer than the Plague Titan battleship used by the Fourth Civilization, not to mention that compared with the slender Plague, this triangular spaceship is wider and taller, and its size is far Far more than!

It's just that, at a glance, it can be seen that this battleship is far from being completed. The external structure of the battleship is not completed, there are countless missing parts on the battleship, and a large number of exposed frame structures can be seen.

But very fortunately, an engine was installed on this battleship! Although this engine seems to be pieced together from the engines of 4 Knight-class Star Destroyers, at least it must have sailing capabilities.

It seems that this giant ship should have undergone a sea test just recently. The reason for this is mainly that the designer has not yet fully determined the thrust structure design of the battleship, so the prototype ship test is to be carried out. That's why the knight-class propulsion structure was installed, and then various tests were performed before the thrust structure design that could match this giant ship was completed.

Of course, if it really comes down to it, it is because the designer of the battleship, Lila Blissex, is simply incapable of completing the design of such a super battleship, even if she formed a very large design team and expert team. , trying to gather more brainstorming ideas of warship designers to cover up their actual lack of ability.

But even so, the design and finalization of the warship is still difficult, and a large number of actual machine tests have to be carried out.

So in fact, Lila Blissex lied to Palpatine at the meeting-the Kuat Power Shipyard simply didn't have the ability to complete the construction of this super battleship within a year! If there is no other promotion, this time will increase to at least 20 years, or even more.

This is also because of the appearance of the fourth civilization's Plague and Xuanwu, two titan battleships before and after, and caused very heavy damage, which brought the impact on the Galactic Republic. In order to fight against the opponent's Titan battleship, they also had to hastily start their own super battleship plan.

And now, this super battleship with almost only one frame has become an opportunity for the rescue team!

Kleist said loudly: "I scanned and found that this battleship has a very simple control system! I can hack into it to make this battleship move! There is also a hatch at the bottom of the battleship, which I can also open!"

The priestess immediately thought of the next plan, "Indeed, with this unfinished battleship as a cover, we can use the cover of this battleship to sail out of the planet's gravity well, and then activate the hyperspace of our own spaceship." Engine off!"

She didn't stop at all, and immediately drove the spaceship to accelerate, and flew towards the huge spaceship.

Sensing the actions of the Lancer, the fighter jets and battleships of the Kuat Defense Fleet became even more crazy! Those warships opened fire crazily, without even caring whether it would harm the star ring itself! They kept firing, just trying to prevent them from going in the direction of the giant ship!

"I think we've found the right direction." Cunte finally showed a handsome smile on his serious face, "They seem to be very afraid of us going over."

"Okay! I've taken over the control system of this battleship! I'm starting the engine and warming up!" Kleist's hands almost turned into two afterimages, and he quickly operated on the terminal, saying, "This set The system is very simple, there is almost only one propulsion system, and an energy-focused monitoring system is placed at the bow of the ship, which should be a giant cannon in the future."

The priestess also cooperated with the village special to control the spaceship, shuttling through countless bullets and bullets, and the trial controlled the turbolaser cannon, firing accurately under the prediction of the force, and almost every cannon shot down a Republic fighter.

At the same time, under Kleist's control, a hatch in the belly of the huge battleship was opening, and the Lancer flew in like lightning. Some Republic fighter jets had no time to turn and crashed into the super battleship.

Seeing that the spaceship finally flew into the interior of the super battleship, the command center of the Kuat Security Force and the Fleet Command were in a mess.

"It's bad! The fugitive has entered the interior of the Eclipse!"

"Cease fire! Cease fire! Don't hurt the Eclipse!!"

"Immediately send fighter formations into the interior of the Eclipse and hunt down the fugitives!"

"Eclipse's engines are starting! Bastards! They want to escape!"

"Don't worry! The Eclipse doesn't have a hyperspace engine! The most important thing now is to enter the spaceship! The fighter jets are too fast to maneuver inside the battleship! Send the LAAT assault transport ship to fly in immediately!"

After a heated discussion, the Kuat defense fleet immediately reached a consensus. Dozens of LAAT assault transport boats flew towards the super battleship, using the powerful low-altitude and low-speed combat capabilities of the assault transport boats to hunt and kill the Lancer. At the same time, all warships ceased fire, fearing that this precious prototype ship would be damaged.

...

However, at this time, in a very huge laboratory on the planet Kuat. A diminutive young woman in designer clothing was also watching the battle outside the ring through sensors.

"Chief engineer, the engine we installed during the last thrust test has not been dismantled, and it has been targeted by separatist fugitives." A technician came over and said very respectfully.

He called this young woman the chief engineer, which revealed her identity—the chief engineer of Kuat Power Dockyard, the designer of the battleship, Lila Blissex! -
