Mountain-Class Warship
During this period, in addition to fifteen Residential Spaceship, humanity also built 10 New Warship, 60 Callisto- class warships, 3 Factory Spaceship, 3 Space Carrier carrying Self-Detonating Drone, 5 Captive Wolf Biosphere Spaceship, and 300 Small Escort Ship.
Due to the variety of ship types and the changes in warship tonnage, humans have assigned different roles to warships of different sizes.
Warships like Callisto Warship became secondary warships, and New Warship of warships took their place as the Main Battleships.
This New Warship represents the pinnacle of human shipbuilding technology at present. It is 1,500 meters long, 800 meters wide, and 800 meters high, and its shape resembles a bullet magnified countless times.
Of course, its hull isn't streamlined like a bullet; instead, it's covered in various Close-In Weapon System, nuclear Missile Launcher, and Close-In Laser Cannon. The bow isn't particularly sharp either, due to a large Positron Cannon located in the mid-forward section.
The entire area, which shrinks to the size of a bullet, is protected by the barrel and armor of a large Positron Cannon. Further inward is the location of the positron generator of the Positron Cannon, and outside this location are three inverted vector Fusion Engine.
The three vectoring engines are positioned at a 60-degree angle, located at the neck of the warship, with their vectoring jet angles exceeding 60 degrees. It is evident that these three vectoring engines can provide the warship with emergency braking power and also serve as steering assistance, improving the warship's agility.
In addition, these three Fusion Engine can also power the device that generates positrons for the Positron Cannon.
Similarly, the warship also has vector Fusion Engine at the stern, but instead of three, there are four, and they are larger. In terms of size, the Fusion Thruster nozzles at the stern are almost twice the size of the three at the bow, which is understandable, since they are the warship's main propulsion system.
When the warship performs Attitude Adjustment actions such as starting, stopping suddenly, turning, and changing direction, the seven vector thrusters (three in the front and four in the rear) are all controlled by the ship's onboard computer.
With all four thrusters operating at full power, the warship can accelerate and decelerate at 150G, a maximum acceleration that is 30G higher than that of Residential Spaceship.
A warship carries a full complement of 3,000 combat personnel, even with highly automated equipment. It's clear that further reductions in crew size would require continued in-depth research into Combat AI and intelligent AI.
The warship's main combat weapon is a large Positron Cannon, and it is also equipped with Blue Laser Weapon, Gamma Laser Weapon, and various nuclear weapons, such as Nuclear Missile, Neutron Missile, Infrasonic Torpedo, hydrogen bombs, etc.
In addition to conventional Electromagnetic Wave communicators, the communication equipment also includes a Neutrino Communication device, which should be a technology that only Level 2 Civilization could master.
The armor adopts a multi-layered suspended armor with a reciprocating folding and sealing internal cavity, which is commonly referred to as three inner layers and three outer layers.
This arrangement is mainly to prevent the ship's hull from being penetrated by a single shot from Large Electromagnetic Railgun, a kinetic energy weapon with extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities, and it also has a strong defensive capability against large Positron Cannon.
This New Warship looks like a majestic mountain peak; it is a true behemoth with massive cannons, and humans call it the Mountain-Class Warship.
There are two types of Mountain-Class Warship: one equipped with a large Positron Cannon and the other equipped with Large Electromagnetic Railgun. The former is the Type A ship, and the latter is the Type B ship.
Why not combine both main guns onto one ship? The reason is simple—the caliber is too small and the power is not great enough.
In fact, when the warships were being built, the New Government conducted many technical and military discussions on whether to build large or small ships.
After numerous discussions and experimental verifications, humanity ultimately chose to build large ships.
During the research process, it was discovered that small ships simply could not carry Positron Cannon. It wasn't that they couldn't build smaller Positron Cannon, but rather that due to cosmic dust, the lethality of Positron Cannon with too small a caliber would be severely reduced.
Larger ships can carry more weapons and thicker armor, and because of the powerful Fusion Engine, large warships like the Mountain-Class do not lose their maneuverability.
In armor experiments, humans used the Positron Cannon mounted on the Callisto Warship to bombard the thick armor of the Mountain-Class Warship. The results showed that this caliber Positron Cannon could not penetrate the armor of the Mountain-Class Warship with a single shot; at most, it could only create a crater.
In theory, the Callisto Warship could be easily destroyed by one or two shots from the secondary weapon of the Mountain-Class Warship, namely the gamma beam weapon.
Of course, even a large number of ants can kill an elephant.
However, in the simulated military exercises conducted by the Command Department, the side using the Callisto-Class Warship deployed a full one hundred Callisto Warship. After losing 80% of their warships, they finally managed to destroy one of the Mountain-Class Warship.
Given this proportion, it's only natural that humans would choose to build large warships.
However, although they are called large warships, the length of the Mountain-Class Warship is actually much shorter than that of Residential Spaceship, and the same is true for Space Carrier.
This is due to the frequent high-G attitude changes in the combat environment. In other words, it is to ensure flexibility, while also taking into account structural strength redundancy, which is not allowed by human material technology.
Residential Spaceship, Space Carrier carrying self-destructing aircraft, or other types of spacecraft do not have such high requirements for flexibility.
It took humanity forty years to pull itself back from the brink of extinction and officially become a decent Aerospace Civilization.
Forty years have passed, and humanity is ready to embark on a new journey.
Although humanity has not yet detected any signs of the Silver Mist, as the Silver Heart Alliance Broadcast, this star system is extremely dangerous, and humanity is right at the heart of that danger.
Therefore, it is not advisable to stay here for long.
According to the original plan, humans would stay here for no more than fifty years. However, the plan is not set in stone and will need to be slightly modified based on the specific circumstances of humanity during its implementation.
For example, now that Body Enhancement Technology has emerged, the New Government has decided that after the Spring Festival, the entire population will complete the enhancement process, and after two years of adaptation, humanity will once again embark on its Starry Road.
And during these two years, humanity will not just sit idly by and do nothing.
The collection of Biosphere Resources on Wolf 1061 c Planet should continue, the construction of spaceships should continue, and the mining of various mineral resources should continue.
The goal is to build one or two more biosphere-type spacecraft and several Resource Spaceship within two years.
These types of spaceships are not like warships; they are basically designed as Residential Spaceship and are highly modular in construction. With the current industrial capabilities and population size of humankind, it is entirely possible to build four to five more within two years.
Moreover, humanity now possesses two mobile Space Dock.
Well, the reason there are two mobile Space Dock is actually because of the flagship. Since humanity decided to use a new type of material to build the flagship, and that material is extremely difficult to process, the construction time of the flagship has been greatly extended.
Left with no other choice, humanity had to build another Space Dock to construct other spaceships and warships.
