Chapter 59 Designing a Battleship
"Even if it can't be used as a shield, it's good enough just to be used as a commemoration." Qin Mo stopped thinking about the ashes and started doing more important things.
Design battleships.
In Qin Mo's conception, if facing a fleet battle in the future, they will only have two types of warships for the time being, a frigate and a cruiser.
The Talon galaxy does have a fleet, but this fleet is not strong, with only one Moon-class cruiser and three Sword-class frigates.
Therefore, Qin Mo could fully accept the result that all these fleets were corroded, and he had absolute confidence in dealing with these warships.
Whether it is a self-designed cruiser or a frigate, energy weapons will be the main weapon.
Also, there will be no Geller Stand or Void Shield.
The reason is that warships using dimensional engines for inter-galactic teleportation will not enter the subspace, and will not need the Geller Stand. Instead, the Geller Stand will be replaced by an oversized infantry teleportation protection device. That is, when the warship is teleported, a barrier is generated to ensure that the souls and bodies of the warship and its crew will not be torn apart in the dimensional channel. This is enough.
The void shield is not used because Qin Mo really can't get along with the subspace. What will replace the void shield is a one-way energy barrier that can intercept external firepower, while one's own attacks can still be fired from within the barrier, and this shield will not be penetrated by slow objects.
Battleships above the cruiser level will be the main output force. In addition to basic weapons, they will also be equipped with a particle light spear in front of the battleship, which can continuously output to enemy ships at an extremely long distance.
The duty of frigates is to intercept enemy carrier-based aircraft and various attacks. They will only carry some small naval guns, most of which are defensive weapons such as close-in defense lasers. They will also launch transmission beacons into enemy ships to provide more accurate transmission data for the Marine Corps' boarding operations.
Of course, the premise is that you have no choice but to join forces.
And after entering the bombardment phase, the missiles and various energy live ammunition weapons around the cruiser hull will severely damage the enemy at close range.
First of all, one thing is certain, that is, the weapons on our warships will always be more than most enemy warships of the same level... because Qin Mo will not put a church on the warship.
Even the crew's movement space will be compressed to the limit to free up more space for more equipment.
The crew members will control the warship in the most core part of the warship. They do not need to run around. They will be placed in a cabin on the warship and connected to the warship through a brain-computer interface. Controlling the warship will be as easy as pie for them.
When there is no need for fighting and no place to dock, the battleship crew will sleep in the cabin.
It doesn't matter if the battleship explodes. The cabin has a built-in dimensional teleportation device and you can return home in a second.
While designing the battleship, Qin Mo suddenly had an idea and thought of a very dangerous weapon.
A very large bomb.
It is usually kept in the battleship warehouse and directly transmitted to the enemy ship when needed.
The battleship is constantly moving, so it is conceivable that the transmission accuracy must be very poor, but as long as one bomb can be transmitted to the interior of the enemy ship, it will be safe.
The crew of the enemy ship will find that a super bomb flashes inside the hull of their own ship, and its structure will overlap with the hull, making it impossible to throw it out or dismantle it.
Then they face two choices, one is to turn around and leave the team immediately and desperately, the other is to sit and wait for death until the bomb detonates and destroys all friendly forces within the explosion range.
Designing a battleship is easy. The only difficult part is designing unique weapons and equipment for the battleship, and of course the dimensional engine.
But these are all a kind of enjoyment for Qin Mo.
...
While Qin Mo was immersed in his research, the nobles of the Nest City held a meeting.
This meeting was much larger than the last one, with almost all the nobles in the spire participating.
Moreover, the location of this meeting was not the Governor's manor, but in the church at the spire of the hive city, under the watchful eye of the Emperor of Mankind.
"Everyone, David is dead." Under the gaze of everyone, the governor announced a piece of news that made everyone feel uneasy.
The nobles looked at each other in shock and at the same time complained about the governor in their hearts, thinking that it was a good thing that David was dead, otherwise you would not come out to see people.
"The test results show that David died of heart disease." The Governor read out the disease that the nobles had only heard of when they were studying.
The empire had advanced life-preserving and life-extending technologies, so heart disease was not a problem. The fact that David died of this disease was truly hilarious and amusing to the nobles.
"Who do you think did it?" asked the Governor.
Someone immediately gave an answer: "The answer is obvious. It was done by the people of the First Army."
"Why?" asked the Governor.
"Because... he is the opponent." The noble said loudly to everyone, "If I were a member of the First Army, I would have tricked that old man."
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the church.
Now that someone has pointed out a truth that everyone understands but doesn't say out loud, it still makes the nobles laugh.
But when the nobles were laughing under the gaze of the emperor's statue, the servants in the church were indeed looking at them in confusion, not understanding why their masters were shocked one second and suddenly burst into laughter the next.
Their emotions are not stable as usual.
Although their emotions are usually not very stable.
"Stop, stop." The Governor smiled and motioned for everyone to be quiet, then announced loudly: "The war between us and the rebels is inevitable. Let the existing troops in the hive attack them, and then we will take the opportunity to hide on Talon III together."
"What if the people sent by the Emperor of Wisdom don't want us to command them?" someone asked.
"Then let's unite and kill all the high-ranking officials of the Emperor of Wisdom." The governor had a cold and fierce look on his face.
The nobles leaned back with pride.
Conspiracy is what they do best.
"But please note that the hive army I'm talking about is not the planetary defense force, but the people on the Talon II." The Governor suddenly reminded, and then his eyes fell on the man wearing a marshal's uniform among the nobles, "Stinger, you do this."
"Yes." Stinger stood up and saluted, then sat back down.
The nobles were not very obedient to the governor's decision, because Sting was just a slave in the governor's family and he didn't even have a name. Making him a noble had already made others very dissatisfied, and now no noble would be willing to let him command the army.
The governor saw the dissatisfaction on their faces and said, "I think Stinger doesn't need to command anymore. It's better for him to take off his uniform and continue to be a slave, because the position of marshal should be given to someone with more courage. This person must be able to resist the rebels for a while after we leave."
"I don't agree with you, Governor. Stinger is obviously the best candidate for Marshal."
"I agree with what Kolya said."
"No one is more suitable than Sting."
The nobles quickly expressed their opinions.
The Governor smiled at the Stinger and said, "Do it in a more sophisticated way. Don't just let your army attack and call it a day."
"Yes, master." Stinger nodded.
