The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1975. Divine Apocalypse-class battleship (Part 2)

"This is why we need to vigorously develop aircraft carriers." Tang Xiao nodded, "Proton torpedoes and concussion missiles launched by fighter and bomber platforms surpass turbolaser cannons in terms of attack angle and power. But there is a possibility of being intercepted. I believe that even a Shenshi-class battleship will have a huge headache if the opponent's bombers fire a few proton torpedoes at the engine position."

"Please rest assured that the research and development of the Eternal Class super aircraft carrier is being carried out steadily. At the same time, we have also made great progress in the technology of carrier-based aircraft. The Protoss has also agreed to hand over the technology of the next generation interceptor to us. " Arroyo Barlow said.

While they were talking, the Apocalypse-class battleship had begun to move towards the scheduled test site. On the bridge, hundreds of crew members were busy performing their duties. Among them are robots, as well as humans, Salarians, Granites and other races.

The level of automation of battleships in "EVE" is very high. In addition, these battleships are generally very professional and have a single function, so they do not require a large number of crew members to support them.

For example, for the Apocalypse-class battleship, only 200 crew members are needed to operate the battleship at a minimum. Of course, to actually carry out the mission, it is necessary to arrange reserve crews, engineering teams, damage control, and a Marine Corps composed of 500 combat robots to maintain order and prepare for emergencies. During combat, an Apocalypse-class battleship had a crew of 4,000 people, plus 1,500 robots of various types.

Of course, the difference between the Galactic Empire's warships and the Dawn Principality's warships can also be seen in the crew configuration. The Imperial I-class Star Destroyer, the main battleship of the Galactic Empire, requires more than 30,000 crew members, including an integrated legion of 9,700 people and 72 carrier-based aircraft.

Let’s compare the staffing of the Divine Demonstration Class. You can say that the Divine Demonstration Class is just a lump of iron!

Likewise, designs like the Divine Apocalypse and Hell's Angels will never have anything to do with the planet's atmosphere.

"Then, please allow me to show you the powerful firepower of the Apocalypse-class battleship - the flagship laser array." Arroyo Barlow said, "In front are the three Jaeger-class battleships we captured in the previous battle. The battlecruiser will be the target ship for this test. Of course, adhering to the principle of waste utilization, except for the reactor and shield system, other parts of these three Jaeger-class ships have been disassembled and reused. "

He turned to the operator over there and said loudly: "Start the test and let the Jaeger-class shield operate at full power. The ship will immediately enter combat mode and prepare to charge the main gun."

When not talking to Tang Xiao, Arroyo Barlow still spoke at the same speed as fried beans.

It was only seen that under the control of the operator, the Shenshi-class battleship began to turn its hull sideways, with its side facing forward. This is also a characteristic of this series of battleships, which is completely different from the design route of the Galactic Empire's battleships where full firepower can be used only when facing the enemy head-on.

At the same time, as orders were issued, three circular devices on both sides of the Shenshi-class battleship began to extend outward, forming three cylindrical shapes on each side. This is the flagship laser array equipped on the Shenshi-class. !

The combat posture of this flagship laser array is stretched out into a cylindrical array hundreds of meters high, with this ultra-powerful laser array installed above. This is a very advanced design. This layout has been separated from the scope of the turret. It is a firepower platform with greater power and no direction limitation.

"Charged! Target locked! Ready to fire!" Arroyo Barlow glanced at Tang Xiao again and gave the order with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, Tang Xiao only saw a few flashes of light on the three flagship laser arrays on one side. This flash was so fast, almost fleeting, that is, Tang Xiao was focused and with the help of the Force, ordinary people would not even notice such a flash!

However, on the sensors, the three Jaeger-class battlecruisers, with their shields fully deployed, had begun to explode and catch fire! Within a few seconds, it was twisted and deformed under the extremely high temperature energy and then exploded!

"This is the flagship laser array, ultra-high-power X-rays excited by the flagship X-ray crystal." Arroyo-Barlow said.

Tang Xiao was also very surprised by this situation, because in his original concept, if the main gun of a Shenshi-class battleship were to fire, it would be so powerful that it would destroy the world at a glance. That kind of thing.

For example, the 500-meter-caliber super super super electromagnetic gun of the previous Ragnarov-class Titan battleship, or the super-matter electromagnetic gun of the Cole-class battlecruiser, or the Yamato of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser Cannons are powerful, devastating, powerful and crackling when fired.

However, the fire of the Divine Apocalypse-class battleship now only flickered for a moment and then disappeared? Not only is the attack special effect gone, but the attack target is also gone... You can't even see clearly what color the light emitted is.

"Since this is a laser array, doesn't it need continuous irradiation? Is that the end?" Tang Xiao frowned. He even felt that Arroyo Barlow was lying to him.

Arroyo Barlow shook his head and said: "If you mean like the main gun of the Higla-class battlecruiser, which will continue to illuminate the target for 3 to 5 seconds every time it fires, then it is completely insufficient power. . For a truly powerful laser weapon, even an irradiation of 0.001 seconds, as long as the power is sufficient, can have the power to destroy everything. With this kind of instantaneous irradiation, there is no possibility of dodge, and the lock is a hit. Unless the opponent can Unlock the fire control system like a Jedi.”

Tang Xiao nodded doubtfully, but his brows were still furrowed.

Arroyo Barlow also felt that it was a bit tricky. For Salarians, it was somewhat difficult to understand the mentality of a layman like Tang Xiao watching the excitement, so he didn't quite understand why Grand Duke Liming looked unhappy.

Finally, a human scientist came over and said to Tang Xiao: "Your Majesty, maybe we can try to use the apocalypse-class flagship laser array to bomb an asteroid."

Half an hour later, looking at the asteroids that had completely turned into countless lava and exploded in front of him, Tang Xiao laughed heartily. He patted Arroyo Barlow on the shoulder and said: "Hahahahaha! I've already You can imagine the Imperial-class Star Destroyer being destroyed like a chicken or a dog in front of the Apocalypse!"
