Except for the four additional structures and ring links, the entire battleship looks like it adheres to the consistent smooth style of today's ZAFT battleships. It is integrated and full of arcs. Compared with the sharp edges and corners of the United Conventional battleships, it has a little bit more of a work of art feel.
What's more important is that Xiao Ran is still on both sides of the four additional structures, and a total of eight Meteor Unit are seen fixed on them, which looks interesting.
Patrick saw Xiao Ran observing the battleship, and nodded to a middle-aged man wearing a white coat on one side. The latter walked to a few people and introduced, "Mr. Xiao Ran, let me introduce it to you. Let me introduce this battleship. The battleship is 753 meters long. It is the largest conventional battleship we have manufactured so far. It adopts many new technologies and new ideas. According to your request Mr. Xiao Ran, the capacity of the Gnaku and the speed of the battleship are mainly increased."
"You can see now that the four rotating additional structures are the four attached ganakus. The length of these four additional structures is 350 meters and is equivalent to the size of a battleship. In fact, these four additional structures themselves are subsidiary battleships that can move independently from the main battleship, and have all the functions of conventional battleships."
"So this battleship is actually not just one ship, but new type Warship, which is composed of five ships."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's brows jumped involuntarily, and he looked at the middle-aged man who was introducing the battleship to himself in surprise. Judging from the name tag hanging on his chest, this man seemed to be the first person in charge of this project.
"A combined battleship composed of five battleships?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised, and also deeply surprised by this strange or novel structural understanding.
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded without being humble and explained, "Because of the use method of this ship, the number of airframes and teams it carries, everyone in our department feels that the new warship must meet the use needs of special forces under more conditions, and because the storage capacity of the ship itself is large, it also needs to accommodate a special airframe over fifty meters. The general warship structure cannot meet such requirements at all."
"So at the beginning of the design, we planned a model with one ganaku as the main one and multiple ganakus as the auxiliary. But now that there are auxiliary ganakus, we thought we might as well use these ganakus. Anyway, because the ganakus must be large, the battleship must also be large enough. Gradually, after many designs, it became what it is now."
"And because of the new technology, especially the VPS Armor, the new Energy Source Engine, the new propulsion system and a series of other technologies, we can successfully build such a warship."
Xiao Ran raised his hand to signal the middle-aged man to continue speaking. Although he couldn't see Xiao Ran's expression under the mask, that gesture simply meant that you should continue your performance.
It seems that he has been recognized by Xiao Ran, and the middle-aged man is getting more and more excited. "This battleship can fully meet your needs Mr. Xiao Ran in terms of Gnaku, and in terms of speed, we have even used the Radiant Transmitter System originally used by MS. E has been improved for use on battleships. Technically, the Radiant Transmitter System used for MS only needs to be enlarged accordingly. The combination of the four auxiliary battleships and the combined burst of propulsion will definitely satisfy Mr. Xiao Ran."
"What's more important is that this warship all uses Mirage System, which is enough to allow such a huge warship to sail silently."
"As for the auxiliary warships, because the main body of the warship itself does not have the ability to navigate within the atmosphere in terms of shape and function, after all, we cannot expect this fish-shaped structure to be parked on the ground. However, the design of the four auxiliary warships allows these auxiliary warships to enter the atmosphere independently, but to return from the atmosphere, auxiliary devices must be added."
"The main body of the battleship is a large circular space. Ordinary MSs can accommodate more than forty units, and the attached battleship can accommodate six conventional MSs."
"However, in terms of armament, it is much inferior compared to the size of the battleship. The main battleship is equipped with two positron doors, the size Beam Cannon eight doors, the missile launch pod, Auto Defense Turret, etc. are all conventional configurations."
"Small auxiliary warships are not equipped with Positron Cannon. Large warships are equipped with two doors Beam Cannon. Small annexes Beam Cannon are four doors with missile launch pods and Auto Defense Turret. At the same time, the front-end Meteor Unit can also be used as armaments. Unfortunately, the cost, manpower consumption and resource consumption of this warship are too huge, and there is almost no possibility of conventional configuration."
Xiao Ran was impressed by the brainpower of this battleship building department. They actually put Glow Transmitter on the battleship. It is not an innovation, but it is definitely an idea. You must know that none of the battleships in the Burning Legion have done this. It is simply because there is no such necessity at all, and it is almost impossible to use it.
Yi Mei's pursuit of speed is useless. If the distance is far away, he can jump directly. Moreover, the battleship of the Burning Legion is a battleship used between galaxies. The speed increase is already very fast. Maybe adding Radiant Transmitter System will make it faster, but after all, there is still a category for conventional propulsion and movement. It's like a limit threshold. It's impossible to cross it with one more Radiant Transmitter System. The energy consumption of forcibly crossing it will double in a multi-power trend. In summary, the gain outweighs the loss. However, for the warships in this world, the addition of Glow Transmitter seems to be quite good.
As for the armament, the middle-aged man may feel that a battleship of more than 700 meters is equivalent to a small aircraft carrier of space battleships in this world, but it can only come with such a small amount of firepower but uses most of the space to carry the body, so he feels a little disappointed. However, Xiao Ran also heard from this guy's words that the person in charge of Emotion is actually a supporter of the heavy ship and artillery style.
The other party said that there are not many weapons, but it seems that there are already a lot of weapons on the Xiao Ran side. The number of weapons combined with the main body and accessories is already a lot, okay? What about the twenty or thirty Beam Cannon and Positron Cannon? But it is estimated that if all these weapons are to be used, the energy consumption will be quite high.
Xiao Ran nodded and smiled slightly, "Very good, very good. The battleship you designed and built is very novel and very thoughtful. I am very satisfied. By the way, what is the name of this battleship?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The battleship only has a manufacturing code and has not yet been given an official name. The name of the ship is waiting for you Mr. Xiao Ran to name it."
Xiao Ran was silent for a moment, then laughed, "I think you should name this battleship. After all, this is a battleship that you put a lot of effort into creating. Why don't you name this battleship?"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard Xiao Ran's words, but he did not forget to glance at Patrick for advice. After Patrick nodded, the middle-aged man immediately said, "Apocalypse! It represents the revelation and reminder to mankind. Let us unite. The four affiliated battleships are Apocalypse's Four Horsemen, bringing some destruction to those evil people who peek at us!"
Xiao Ran nodded and glanced at the middle-aged man with a half-smile, "The name is very good, let's call it this name. Apocalypse, not bad, destruction is not bad, aliens and... Union, good."
