Chapter 375, Alliance Shipyard
Gu Hang's current technology with a price tag of 10,000 yuan is 100% shipped.
Moreover, there is a high probability that it is a good product. After all, even epic technology has a 20% chance of being extracted.
And under his continuous attacks, he did produce an epic piece of technology.
[Spiritual Engine]
This is engine technology that can directly utilize high-compression energy crystal blocks.
Things of this level, such as the Warhound Titan, are not worthy of using spiritual engines.
This kind of engine is generally used on large Titans and starships. For some medium and large starships, such as destroyers and cruisers, large-sized single engines are no longer viable, and corresponding design blueprints are needed to manufacture engine sets.
With it, and considering the various technologies currently available, Gu Hang now basically has the ability to build large starships.
But in fact... the Alliance now only has a small shipyard, and it can only build some voyagers.
It's a little embarrassing.
However, among the elite technologies harvested in this wave, there are also some good things that solve Gu Hang's problem.
[Dockyard blueprint].
This is a complete set of technologies similar to the star port technology blueprint. According to this set of blueprints and the matching black box, a variety of parts can be created to build an advanced level shipyard.
At the same time, the elite technology extracted this time also includes the construction technology of [Patrol Ship].
This is a serious warship. Although it is one level lower than a frigate, it can still play a certain role in naval battles with a wolf pack attitude. It can also be used to protect waterways and combat piracy.
There is no peace between the astral tunnels.
In addition, the elite level also has a technology that makes Gu Hang very happy: [Lion Tank].
Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of this thing goes without saying.
After it can be built, if a brigade of the alliance's armored brigade can be equipped with two or three units, its combat effectiveness will also soar.
Also worth mentioning is the same advanced technology: [Transport Ship-Flying Dolphin Type].
In terms of technical level, it is the same as the Traveler, but much larger than the Traveler, and even much larger than a serious warship of the patrol ship level.
Although it basically has no combat capabilities, and cannot be equipped with good combat modifications, it is barely equipped. It can be regarded as an armed merchant ship, but its combat capabilities are also rubbish.
But it's good for transporting goods and passengers. While it can carry more than 8 passengers at a time, it can also carry a large amount of supplies for these passengers to spend several months traveling in the astral world. A small circulation system and synthetic starch system can also be installed inside for emergency backup.
Gu's Trading Company also has a great demand for this thing.
Once you build it, you won't have to worry about selling it.
Moreover, Gu Hang doesn't plan to sell it. This thing is economical, practical and reliable. A hundred ships can carry out three round trips from Koroga to Raging Owl and one round trip to Black Arrow in a month, transporting two to three million people at a time. The migration work will be much easier to handle.
As for the remaining four advanced-level technologies and one basic-level technology, they do not have much effect. Some of them are even the production capabilities that the alliance has obtained through trade and self-developed technology upgrades. There is no need to mention them in particular.
However, when the 10 draw reaches this level, the prize pool does not look as good as it did at the beginning. The probability of epic technology has dropped to 30%, and the elite level is only %.
Smashing his mouth, Gu Hang shook his hand and fired another twenty rounds.
This wave, I was pretty lucky. An epic technology came out first, but the probability dropped to 5%, and then another one came out in the last draw.
These two technologies are [Destroyer-Design Blueprint] and [Burning Sky Torpedo Technology].
A destroyer, this can already be considered a big ship!
The Pegasus Fleet can be regarded as the second largest naval fleet in the Dragon Eagle Star Region. It is true that the main force is the seven cruisers, but there are only about thirty destroyers. The cost of a single ship is one billion for the cheapest model, and several billion for the more expensive model. The difference lies in power, firepower, divination, protection... In short, there are many different things.
But in general, destroyers can be regarded as a watershed in the specifications of the naval fleet. In small-scale naval conflicts, destroyers are the trump card and are the weapon of victory; on the battlefield of large-scale naval decisive battles, destroyers cannot be ignored. A serious big ship will not be able to withstand a heavy fire from a powerful destroyer; when the void shield is overloaded, it will take a hit and the ship may capsize.
When the Alliance shipyards can build destroyers, that's when the war begins.
However, the league still has a lot of work to do before this step.
The design blueprints and supporting black boxes give the alliance the ability to build ships;
The spiritual engine, as well as the supporting jump engine, jump protection stance, jump recognition technology, fine gold technology... these all meet the front-end technology of shipbuilding.
However, there are still difficulties in building a true destroyer.
The technical level of the shipyard can be partially solved after obtaining the [Shipyard Blueprint]; skilled workers can be trained; however, the destroyer must have weapons and protection, otherwise it is just a hull.
Although the hull of the starship is also very valuable, it is the base, but after all, what Gu Hang wants is not to build it and sell it.
What's more, if you build a ship shell and then give it to others for processing, the profit will be greatly reduced.
However, this problem was solved later.
In these twenty consecutive draws, Gu Hang also drew six elite-level technologies. Among them are two M-level weapons, namely the [M-level 'Hot Hammer' macro cannon] and the [M-level 'Sky Ax' missile].
The firepower of the M-type specification is certainly enough to serve as the main gun of the destroyer. Based on these two things, the alliance can even develop two types of destroyers in the future, namely guided missile destroyers with missiles as the core, and gunboats with macro guns as the core. In naval battles, they can all play different tactical roles.
As for the many secondary guns of S-class specifications, whether they are kinetic cannons, energy cannons, or scalpel missiles, the alliance has corresponding technical reserves.
At the same time, among the advanced technologies in these twenty draws, I also obtained the technology of [Energy Shield Generator].
Although it's not a void shield, the destroyer's energy shield is just so-so. Void Shield is good, but the cost of equipping it will skyrocket. In addition to the void shield itself being much more expensive, it also requires more energy supply, which means more spiritual engine units. The increase in the number of engine units is not a simple addition. The design difficulty will greatly increase, and the cost will also explode.
From this point of view, after acquiring this series of technologies, coupled with the past technical reserves, the Alliance Shipyard has a lot to do.
As for the second technology, [Sky-Burning Torpedo], this is an even more terrifying thing.
This is a star-destroying weapon. The finished product is as big as several hundred-story buildings tied together. It requires at least a cruiser or above starship to complete the launch mission, or it can be dropped to the ground and detonated manually.
Its main function is to ignite the entire world's atmosphere after the explosion, forming a terrifying wave that sweeps the world. Light substances from air to water to the surface of the earth will all burn up sooner or later in a chain reaction. In a week or two, the entire world will burn into a big fireball in space, burning until the entire world This lasts until there is nothing left to burn on the surface of the planet. Depending on the size of the planet, it can last from a few months to a few years at most.
It is true that it cannot destroy a planet, but it is enough to destroy all life on the planet. Only those who are extremely strong, hide in a deep, almost sealed place that cannot be burned by sky fire along the air, and survive for months or years can have a chance to escape - and that's just a chance. Under the horrific burning, it will cause serious geological activities, and the underground structure will easily collapse.
But even if you escape, it will take months or years to survive. Whether the underground environment can support the survival of survivors for such a long time is still a question; even if you escape, the entire planet's surface will be burned to nothing. How to survive in the future and how to continue the ethnic group?
This type of exterminating weapon may not be 100% guaranteed to kill every living individual on the surface, but it is enough to exterminate the entire population. The very few survivors will have no meaning on a planet that will be worthless after it is burned.
However, it is actually useless in conventional warfare.
It is extremely expensive, and the cost of one is almost as much as that of a cruiser.
The defense penetration ability is very weak and is very easy to intercept. A simple defender or reflector can be disabled if it hits it. It is wishful thinking to use it to attack enemy ships.
It can be used as an extermination weapon, but if you want to occupy the planet, you obviously can't use it. Once the planet is released, it will be useless.
And if it is that kind of extermination war, the harsh release conditions also require the release party to completely occupy and control the orbit of the planet, otherwise it will be useless to release a ball of anti-orbital firepower to explode it outside the atmosphere.
The most common usage scenario is to completely control the orbit, but the battle on the surface cannot be resolved, and the planet is not wanted anymore, so just use it to eliminate the problem.
A few months ago, Koroga almost embarked on this path. If Gu Hang has not solved the problem, and it cannot be solved after evaluation, then apply for it, find a big boss who can shoulder this responsibility, make a decision, and send in a sky-burning torpedo before the evil cult can do it. Arranging the anti-orbital cannon to cover the entire planet, running to the back of the planet opposite Fino City, and releasing the sky-burning torpedoes would be considered the execution of the extermination order against Koroga.
Gu Hang thought for a moment, this technology was very sensitive, more sensitive than any technology Gu Hang had obtained in the past.
Things like knight mechas and war dog titans are actually very problematic. Rifles, tanks, armored vehicles, fighter planes and other things, the Mechanicus don't mind the proliferation of technology very much.
From another perspective, this may also be a tacit understanding between the Empire and the Mechanicus.
However, the blockade is more serious when it comes to the two iconic products of the Mechanicum: Knight Mecha and Titan.
Although I haven't heard of any wars breaking out because of this, as of now, except for the foundry world of the Mechanicus and a few places that are particularly closely related to the Mechanicus, I haven't seen any other place where it can be made. .
Not to mention manufacturing, even the non-Mechanicus forces that can use this kind of war machine have not been heard of much - except for the knight mecha, which many feudal worlds will buy, or directly become the knight world that takes orders from the Mechanicus.
Titans appear on the battlefield, either as a result of the actions of the Skitarii of the Adeptus Mechanicus, or as the actions of the Imperial Army with the participation of the Adeptus Mechanicus - among many Astra Militarum legions, in the navy, and even under the command of the Planetary Governor , all have members of the Mechanicus.
As for Gu Hang, the situation is very eye-catching.
Compared to the War Dog Titan and the Knight Errant, the Burning Sky Torpedo may be more eye-catching.
For the first two, Gu Hang could be more cautious and stay away from the Mechanicus. Anyway, there is only one foundry world in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region, and it is far away in the Yunluo Star Region, and the information connection with the Tianma Star Region is not close. Gu Hang can never reveal the origin of the Titan and Knight mechas to the public, but he hints that he is supported by a certain sect in the Mechanicus. I will not elaborate on who it is. When it really has to be revealed, then push Wu Jiarong to the front desk.
I'm not allowed to have a genius who can develop a Titan on his own?
Wu Jiarong's current level has also reached the level of a ruling bishop.
For her, as long as she meets the standard, Gu Hang will upgrade her, without waiting for her to upgrade herself.
Gu Hang even thought that when Wu Jiarong was better, his overall power was stronger, and he could withstand greater pressure, he would take the first step to push Wu Jiarong out and establish a Mechanical Order. branch of the sect.
But that's a thing for the future. For now, the main thing is to be stubborn and fool.
You can fool me for as long as you can.
Exposing the Sky-burning torpedo is seriously contrary to this goal.
We don't need this thing now, so we don't dare to sell it. It's difficult to mass-produce it, so it's really unnecessary.
It takes about four years for a black box to produce a finished product, so let's use the black box for production.
As long as you have it in your hand and can use it when necessary, that's fine.
My mind turned back to the technology lottery. In addition to these, there were also four elite technologies.
[Orbital Defense System - Design Blueprint], [Transport Ship - Whale Class], ['Kirin' Fighter], [Frigate - Design Blueprint].
These are all pretty reliable things.
[Orbital Defense System] Needless to say, this technology allows Gu Hang's technicians to fully master the artillery fire of various types and build a reliable air defense system. The supporting detection and locking system can better destroy attacks on the planet.
Rich worlds, such as Wing Star, will cover the entire world with orbital defense systems.
Of course, this is very costly, but at least important nodes, such as industrial cores like Wei Xing City, must be covered.
Each of the hives on Koroga have certain orbital air defense capabilities, so you can slow down first; Black Arrow actually has them too; Raging Owl is really built from scratch, so they should be prioritized.
[Transport Ship-Whale] This is a transport ship of a higher level than the Flying Dolphin.
[Frigate-Design Blueprint] Needless to say.
The acquisition of these two technologies directly further complements the current production line of the Alliance Shipyard.
When all these technologies can be applied, the entire production line of the alliance's shipyard will be complete. Civilian ships range from [Traveler] to [Flying Dolphin] to [Whale]; military vessels range from [Patrol Ship] to [Frigate] to [Destroyer].
Not only the ship construction is complete, but also a series of production lines surrounding the ship construction. From ship design to ship construction; from shipboard firepower to shield generators; from starport to shipyard...
Thinking of this, Gu Hang felt confident.
Why is Feiyixing rich? Why is it possible to be so rich with a level 5 development coefficient and an imperial tax of 0.5 tax coins per population?
In addition to the development of the planet itself, the most powerful thing is the shipbuilding industry.
With a four-year construction cycle, they can produce 1 cruiser and 8 destroyers, plus other small battleships and civilian ships. Isn't this rich?
On his own, not only can he support the Pegasus fleet, but he can also export and sell a large number of ships, and directly pay imperial taxes with ships. In the Dragon Eagle Star Territory's bloody war with the greenskins, naval warfare is an indispensable part, relying on the ferocious production capacity of the Flying Wing Star.
Otherwise, as soon as something happens in the Tianma Star Region, a special envoy from the Star Region will come over immediately? After settling the disaster in the Pegasus Sector, she was directly promoted to the Chief of Internal Affairs and became the number two figure in the Star Sector.
Isn't that because, in the Pegasus sector, there is a Koroja and a Flying Wing star that they really can't afford to lose.
In the future, Gu Hang hopes that the angry owl star can also reach a similar status.
As for the last technology, ['Kilin' fighter], this is considered an enhanced version of [Wind Falcon].
The main reason is that the firepower is stronger.
Moreover, there are actually two sets of technologies in the Kirin fighter. One set is used for normal air combat in the atmosphere, and the other set can be modified with some accessories to produce a ship-based version.
The main reason why Feng Falcon doesn't do this is because Feng Falcon's power is simply scratching the itch when it hits a starship, and it doesn't make much sense to change it to a ship-based version; but Qilin's firepower can already threaten battleships.
The ship-based version of Qilin also needs to be modified to match the starship itself. This kind of fighter can be quickly launched into the face of an enemy ship by a special ejection device, similar to a delivery cabin or a boarding ship, and then carry out continuous firepower strikes on the enemy.
If you are more courageous, you can slowly pass through the void shield or energy shield and enter the interior of the shield system. It can cover the boarding bay, directly attack the ship, stuff hundreds of people inside if necessary, and can also do secondary airdrops...
This is another addition to the starship's combat weapons, and the army can also benefit.
Apart from these, there is nothing much to say about the remaining advanced and basic-level technologies.
It's the same, either it exists, or it doesn't matter. The better ones are just some upgrades to existing technologies.
...
After drawing 300 thousand-yuan technology in a row, Gu Hang still had a gift of 450,000 yuan.
After thinking about it, he restrained the idea of continuing the lottery.
Although the lottery is very addictive, Gu Hang needs to be realistic.
The hundreds of thousands or millions of gift points in hand are precious wealth left over from the last war. Seeing that it was impossible to fight such a large-scale war, I relied on monthly gift points and rewards from security wars, and I could only save tens of thousands or one hundred thousand in a year.
This means that the hundreds of thousands of gifts in Gu Hang's hands cannot be reproduced. I am happy now, but when I need gift points later, I will cry so ugly.
If things on Koroja require a large number of troops, a large number of administrative personnel, or if something happens, Gu Hang needs to be able to maintain a certain reserve of gift points.
Now that there are no gift points, Gu Hang feels particularly insecure.
Another reason is that taking out more technologies will not make much sense.
Dozens of technologies have been drawn out in this wave. Whether they are those that Gu Hang thinks are important or those that are not so important, the alliance will need time to digest them.
Taking out more will cause indigestion.
In fact, it's quite difficult to do just now.
The full-chain shipyard that Gu Hang was so ambitious and dreaming of in front of him actually needs to be built. Even if he has the complete technology, it will still take time to complete many construction tasks and train qualified workers and technical experts.
But fortunately, when Gu Hang checked the building interface, he saw something new.
The four types of buildings, comprehensive college, technical college, Zhongsi College, and civilian/military factories, all have higher-level versions.
The changes to Zhongji Academy and the factory are not particularly drastic. Using the advanced version only improves the level and quality of education. The additional bonus of the factory's production efficiency becomes higher, which is purely a numerical improvement.
As for comprehensive colleges and technical colleges, apart from numerical improvements, the biggest change is the addition of two more training options.
The training option that appears under the Comprehensive College is called [Qualified Professionals], and its general content is to quickly train students into qualified graduates based on their majors.
At this level, the level of activation of talents and heroes is still far from the level, but it is still a quick way to mass-produce professional talents.
Within the alliance's comprehensive colleges, there are many types of majors including administration, management, economics, commerce, literature...
The relevant talent gap has always been huge.
The new training program that appeared under the Technical College is called [Elementary Specialist].
This is the lowest professional title for mechanical teaching, but in fact, only 20% of the students who have graduated from the three-year technical college normally can reach this level and pass the junior specialist assessment organized by the alliance itself.
But now, being able to train directly is equivalent to producing excellent graduates in batches, which is also a good thing.
The price of these two training options is 10 points of grace per person, which is the same price as the political commissar.
It may seem cheap, but in fact, considering the huge talent gap in the league, Gu Hang's gift of hundreds of thousands is simply a drop in the bucket.
However, just like when he was building the famous Yancheng, he trained 40,000 loyal officials in one go. It is certainly not enough to do it comprehensively, but specific strengthening of certain aspects can greatly accelerate development.
It seems that it is time to return to the Raging Owl Star.
