The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1148. Warship review (middle)

Gary Ulan is still spending his days at the meeting of the Republic Ship Supervision Committee, watching the nonsense deliberations and the number of orders that have been pierced into his heart like a sharp knife.

The link of the Quarter Power Dock has finally entered a critical link, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser!

This is the most important link, because the Galactic Republic spends hundreds of billions of money on the Jaeger-class battlecruisers every year!

In order to show his importance, the speaker of the Galactic Republic, Schiff Palpatine, also attended the meeting in person today to attend the deliberation of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser.

For the deliberation of the hunter level, it will be much more careful.

"First of all, we need to confirm that the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is indeed a very classic and powerful warship." The chairman of the ship supervision committee seems to like to put the word 'classic' on Kuat's battleship, " What we can see is that the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is essentially an aviation battleship, with a maximum carrying capacity of 420 aircraft, but with such an astonishing carrying capacity, it still guarantees strong firepower and mobility and protection."

He opened up a series of data, "During the early exchange of fire with the Separatist fleet, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser could form a very obvious advantage against the opponent's main battleships such as the Generosity-class communication frigate and the Disobedient-class light destroyer. Separation Only the rare and expensive Shenyi-class destroyers can compete with it."

"But no matter how classic the design is, it is also limited by the development of the battle situation. After the emergence of the separatist Cole-class battlecruiser and Behemoth-class battlecruiser, they posed a very huge threat to the Hunter-class. And these two types The common feature of warships is..." The president turned on the holographic projection, which projected three-view profiles of the Cole class and the Behemoth class. Among them, the profile of the Cole class is very detailed, but there are only a few of the Behemoth class. row data.

"...They all have a super main gun that is very powerful but slow to recharge." The president went on to say, "The Cole-class large electromagnetic gun and the behemoth-class Yamato cannon, and even the ones they have appeared in the past. The Titan battleship Plague also has a super electromagnetic gun... This can be seen as a direction in the design of warships of the separatist forces."

Schiff Palpatine looked serious, and said: "That is to say, Separatism... well, Dawn Planet and the Fourth Group, are the Cole-class and Behemoth-class developed specifically for the weakness of the Hunter-class?"

"That's right, according to the air battle in the Umbria galaxy that happened not long ago, the weakness of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser has been infinitely magnified, and it is almost impossible to effectively resist when facing the Behemoth-class battlecruiser. " said the president.

On the seat of the Kuat Power Dock, the chief battleship designer Lila Blissex stood up and bowed to Palpatine, and then said, "Let me talk about this issue."

Palpatine nodded.

"The main reason why the Jaeger-class is at a disadvantage when facing the Cole-class and Behemoth-class is the difference in design ideas between the two. The Jaeger-class is not a simple type of warship. At the beginning of the design It is designed for the purpose of 'single ship to suppress a planet'. Therefore, the Jaeger class is equipped with marines and vehicles, and has a carrying capacity of as many as 420 fighter jets... According to the hypermaterial we currently produce In terms of the power of the reactor, maintaining the battleship at around 1,000 meters is the most optimal solution, and this size is also the best size for entering the atmosphere, so we have done a lot of work..."

Lila opened the three-view view of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, showing the internal structure of the battleship, "The hangars, energy systems, and warehouses inside the Jaeger-class take up a lot of space, and there is also a preset legion A high-level command center can support an entire legion's operations on the planet. Under such circumstances, the hunter-level still maintains very good firepower and shields..."

Gary Ulan pouted, this arrogant woman started to brag about her design again, oh no, who said it was her design? It was clearly her father's design! Her father, Willix Blissex, was the true designer of the Jaeger-class, capable of packing so much into a single battleship, and making it able to meet the requirements of almost any battle situation.

This is definitely not something this woman who is full of vanity and fame can do!

It is precisely for the same reason that their father and daughter broke up, and their father Willix Blissex came to Rendili.

And now seeing Lila Blissex bragging about the Jaeger-class and taking it as her own achievement, Gary Ulan just sneered in his heart.

"I just want to know more important things, Miss Lila." Palpatine said with a smile, but there was no room for any doubts in his words.

The corners of Gary Ulan's mouth turned up slightly, and it seemed that the speaker had the same opinion.

It's just that the difference is... Opinions are opinions, actions are actions. My father has always made himself cautious about the speaker. He is not really easy to deal with.

"...The biggest weakness of the Jaeger-class is that the space inside the ship is very compact, and almost every inch of space is used. Therefore, the Jaeger-class only has a single layer of armor. Even though our material technology has made the Jaeger-class armor able to withstand the same The direct fire of the turbolaser cannon, but if the armor is penetrated, the hunter class will suffer a fatal blow immediately." Lila said.

Palpatine nodded thoughtfully, "So the reason why the Jaeger-class is so vulnerable to the Cole-class and Behemoth-class is because the main guns of these two warships only need one shot. level immediately paralyzed?"

"To be more specific, it was destroyed directly. Of course, this does not deny the classic design of the Jaeger-class." The chairman of the Ship Supervision Committee answered from the side.

Lila Blissex nodded, and said: "That's right, the Jaeger-class has only a single layer of armor, and there are almost no explosion-proof compartments, so as long as the armor is penetrated, within the range of the explosion, one counts as one." , will cause functional damage. In addition, in the face of the spreading flames, the interior of the Jaeger-class also lacks sufficient heat insulation and buffering. There have been previous battles where the cabin next to the energy core caught fire, which directly caused the energy core to explode. "

"So, is there a solution?" Palpatine asked.

Lila shook her head and said: "This is a design problem, which cannot be solved. The design of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser needs to take into account too many aspects, and it is completely comprehensive. Such a design makes the Jaeger-class no further. room to upgrade."

It's not that you can't, but that you can't modify your father's design at all! Gary Ulan looked at him coldly.

"Of course, our Kuat Power Dockyard has a full plan for this. This is... the Tector-class Star Destroyer (Tector-class Star Destroyer)!" Lila Blissex said.
