Planet-Class Warship
Most of these technological applications will be used on new warships.
The design of New Warship is constantly updated as many technologies become a reality. The reason for this update is that many original design schemes are found to be seriously inconsistent with the warship design schemes after the emergence of a certain technology-related creation. In this case, it is natural to replan the warship layout to adapt the design scheme to the new creation.
After these new technology-related creations emerged one by one, the design blueprint for the New Warship was finally finalized after multiple rounds of selection.
In the design, the main frame of the New Warship is made of Strong Interaction Force Material, while the rest of the ship is made entirely of Alloy No. 2. Only in this way can the massive hull of the New Warship be supported to perform various maneuvers without collapsing. As for why not use Strong Interaction Force Material for the entire ship, it is naturally because the production cost of this material is too high.
Engineers estimate that building the main frame of a warship using Strong Interaction Force Material would be a massive and extremely time-consuming project, because this material is not only difficult to produce, but also even more difficult to process, and may even be impossible to process due to its immense hardness and strength.
To break its Strong Interaction Force framework, it would have to be put back into the Grand Unified Force Field and rebuilt. Alternatively, it could be destroyed by annihilation with Antimatter. However, annihilation with Antimatter is uncontrollable due to the unparalleled amount of energy it generates. Therefore, this material is essentially what it is when it leaves the factory.
Its high strength and hardness are both its advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to use it in other delicate creations, but it is good for supporting the main frame of large creations or the shell of small detectors.
Therefore, the warships built according to this so-called New Warship design scheme could not possibly be the first New Warship of mankind. Instead, they would only be put into use after the shipbuilding technology for manufacturing warships at the level of Level 4 Civilization- level civilization had fully matured.
At first glance, this shipbuilding plan may seem useless, but that's not the case. It's not based on the design concept of ordinary warships; it's a design plan for New Flagship for mankind.
As for ordinary warships, their main frame is made of a modified version of Alloy No. 2, which is an improvement made by humans based on No. 2 Alloy Material. Although it is an improved version, its high-temperature resistance and impact resistance have not been improved. Humans have simply manipulated it through Grand Unified Force Field to significantly increase its toughness, making its parameters and properties suitable for use as the main frame structure of new warships and spaceships.
In other words, this is a material used in the main frame of ordinary warships, as well as in the main structural support of various giant Creator.
In the design proposal, the new warship will be equipped with two Warp Engine working in tandem, making it a twin-engine warship. Its main gun has two options: one is Neutron/Anti-Neutron Cannon.
The so-called "neutron/ Anti-Neutron jet" refers to a neutron cannon and an Anti-Neutron cannon. This does not mean that a warship has two main guns, but rather that the main gun can fire both a super-powerful neutron jet and a super-powerful Anti-Neutron jet.
It is a weapon powered by Grand Unified Force Field and is one of the applications of the Grand Unified Theory. Since neutrons are uncharged, to directly accelerate neutrons, one cannot use a conventional electromagnetic field, but must use Grand Unified Force Field.
Because neutrons are uncharged, this weapon can bypass Magnetic Shield and penetrate them to strike warships. Polarization Shield also helpless against this weapon, as they were specifically designed to defend against high-energy lasers, which are essentially photons.
When this weapon is loaded with a neutron beam, it is called Neutron Kill by weapons experts. When it is loaded with Anti-Neutron beam, it is called Neutron Burst.
It can be said that all the shield technologies of Level 3 Civilization are useless in the face of neutron weapons. The only thing that can defend against them is the Force Field Shield field shield of Level 4 Civilization, which can protect neutron jets like an electric Electric Field protects a positron beam.
However, this weapon is still a weapon that travels at speeds below the speed of light.
Yes, by the time Level 4 Civilization, warships are already moving faster than the speed of light, and weapons naturally include faster-than-light weapons, such as Warp Antimatter missiles and Warp Gravity Bomb. Before the discovery of Tachyon suitable for weaponry, these were the only types of faster-than-light weapons available. As the names suggest, they all require Warp Engine drives, just as intercontinental ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles have engines and require rocket propulsion.
According to current human thinking, barring unforeseen circumstances, the main guns of all future conventional warships should be of this type.
Another option is a warship with Planet Destroyer Cannon as its main gun.
Compared to warships that use Neutron Kill / Neutron Burst as their main guns, the requirements for mounting Planet Destroyer Cannon are much greater. This is because the Planet Destroyer Cannon is simply too large; the length of this single gun reaches 150 kilometers, making it impossible for ordinary warships to carry Planet Destroyer Cannon.
Therefore, to equip Planet Destroyer Cannon, a larger and more robust warship would need to be designed.
In the proposed plan, the warships equipped with Planet Destroyer Cannon would be 300 kilometers long, and their width and height would be in the hundreds of kilometers range. Only by building them that large could they accommodate Planet Destroyer Cannon that are 150 kilometers long, and only then would they have enough surging energy to drive the Planet Destroyer Cannon.
And this is humanity's Planet-Class Warship program.
Humanity's warships have evolved from the Mountain-Class of the first-level Tier 1 Civilization to the Lake-class of the Level 2 Civilization, then to the Sea-Class or Continent-Class of the Level 3 Civilization, and finally to the Planet-Class the Level 4 Civilization.
The term "Planet-Class Warship" for this class of warship is not arbitrary, nor does it mean that the warship is actually the size of a planet. The main reason is that this type of warship is capable of destroying planets.
It's worth noting that the Planet Destroyer Cannon isn't just for destroying stars; it's not a weapon specifically designed to destroy planets, as human weapons design experts are already evaluating the possibility of installing Warp Engine on the Antimatter Warhead of the Planet Destroyer Cannon.
If successful, the Antimatter Warhead fired from the Planet Destroyer Cannon's muzzle will enter Warp after leaving the barrel, and due to the Planet Destroyer Cannon's powerful kinetic propulsion system, it will also possess unparalleled kinetic energy.
However, there are still some problems with this design that have not been solved. For example, the preservation of Antimatter in the warhead during the violent acceleration process by the Grand Unified Force Field requires humans to study Gravity Potential Well Technology more thoroughly. Otherwise, once activated, it will result in a barrel explosion.
Of course, it could also use Antimatter as its warhead, but that would reduce its power considerably, turning it into a Warp drive weapon.
Besides these two options, there is another design scheme, but it requires humanity to find a type of Tachyon suitable for combat, so this warship design remains in the conceptual stage. Furthermore, humanity currently doesn't know if its assumptions about the Tachyon Technology tree are correct, therefore this scheme can only remain a concept for the time being.
In addition to the main gun, every warship design will also have different types of Secondary Cannon, such as many Sub-Light Speed weapons, Close-In Weapon System, Warp Speed Missile, and Warp Gravity Bomb.
