1477. Rescue operation (final)

Cun Te They looked over and saw, as expected, an extremely huge battleship right in front!

District 7 of Kuat Industrial Ring is Andrim Shipyard. If you look at it from the outside, it is actually an E-shaped structure. Outside Star Ring Sector, there are huge interstellar shipyards. There are now more than ten Knight-class Star Destroyer being outfitted among them.

However, among the warships under construction, there is an extremely huge figure that is very conspicuous! That is an extremely huge battleship!

This battleship is triangular in shape as a whole, but it is very thick. If viewed from the front, the cross-sectional structure of the front is also a downward triangle, so the shape of this battleship is more three-dimensional.

This also means that the size of the battleship increases exponentially! For interstellar warships, big equals strong and fast. Sufficient energy supply allows such warships to do things that small spacecraft simply cannot do!

What's more conspicuous is that the bow of this battleship is shaped like a hook, and Group One, which looks like a very complex and huge energy transmission structure, is being installed on it.

According to sensor scans, the length of this warship under construction has reached a terrifying 17.5 kilometers! It is even more than 3 kilometers longer than the Plague Titan warship that Fourth Civilization once used. Not to mention that compared with the slender Plague, this triangular-shaped spacecraft is wider and taller, and its size is far greater!

However, at a glance now, you can see that this battleship is far from complete. The external structure of the battleship is not completed, there are countless missing parts on the battleship, and a large amount of exposed frame structure can be seen.

But very fortunately, this battleship has an engine installed on it! Although this engine seems to be made up of four Knight-class Star Destroyer engines, it must at least have the ability to sail.

It seems that this giant ship should have undergone sailing tests recently. The main reason for this is that the designer has not yet completely determined the thrust structure design of the battleship, so prototype ship testing is required. That's why the propulsion structure of Knight-class was installed and various tests were carried out before a thrust structure design that could match this giant ship could be completed.

Of course, if we really want to come down to the final analysis, it is because the battleship designers Lila-Blythex simply do not have the ability to complete the design of such a super battleship, even if she formed a very large design team and expert group, trying to gather the brainstorming of more battleship designers to cover up her actual lack of ability.

But even so, the design and finalization of the battleship is still difficult, and a large number of real-machine tests have to be carried out.

So in fact, Lila-Blythex lied to Palpatine at the meeting - Kuat Drive Yards simply has no ability to complete the construction of this super battleship within one year! If there is no other promotion, this time will increase to at least 20 years, or even more.

This is also because of the impact that the two Titan warships of Fourth Civilization, Plague and Xuanwu, appeared on the scene and caused very heavy damage to Galactic Republic. In order to fight against the opponent's Titan warship, they also had to hastily launch their own super battleship plan.

And now, this super battleship, which has almost only one frame, becomes an opportunity for the rescue team!

Kryster said loudly, "I scanned that this battleship has a very simple control system! I can hack in and make this battleship move! There is also a hatch at the bottom of the battleship that I can also open!"

Priestess immediately thought of the next plan, "Indeed, with this unfinished battleship as a bunker, we can use the cover of this battleship to sail out of the planet's gravity well, and then start our own spaceship's hyperspace engine to leave!"

Without stopping at all, she immediately started to speed up the spacecraft and flew towards the huge spacecraft.

Sensing Lancer's movements, Kuat Defense Fleet's fighter jets and battleships became even more crazy! Those warships fired wildly, not even caring whether they would harm Star Ring itself! They kept firing, just to stop them from going in the direction of the giant ship!

"I think we have found the right direction." Cun Te finally showed a chic smile on his serious face, "They seem to be afraid of us passing by."

"Okay! I have taken over the control system of this battleship! I am starting the engine and preheating it!" Kryster's hands almost turned into two afterimages, and he quickly operated on the terminal, saying, "This system is very simple. It almost only has a propulsion system, and an energy-focused monitoring system is placed at the bow of the ship. In the future, there should be a giant cannon there."

Priestess also cooperated with Cun Te to control the spacecraft, shuttling through countless hails of bullets. Judgment controlled the Turbolaser cannon and fired accurately under the Force's prediction. Almost every cannon shot down a Galactic Republic fighter jet.

At the same time, under the control of Kryster, a hatch in the belly of the huge battleship was opening, and Lancer Blitz flew in. Some Galactic Republic fighter jets had no time to turn and crashed into the super battleship.

Seeing that the spaceship finally flew into the super battleship, Kuat Security Forces Command Center and the fleet command were immediately thrown into chaos.

"No! The fugitive has entered Eclipse!"

"Ceasefire! Ceasefire! Can't hurt Eclipse!!"

"Immediately send a fighter formation into Eclipse to hunt down the fugitives!"

"Eclipse's engine is starting! Bastards! They want to escape!"

"Don't worry! Eclipse does not have a hyperspace engine! The most important thing now is to get into the spacecraft! The fighter is too fast and cannot maneuver inside the battleship! Send LAAT assault transport to fly in immediately!"

After a heated discussion, Kuat Defense Fleet immediately reached a consensus, and dozens of LAAT assault transport flew towards the super battleship, using the powerful low-altitude and low-speed combat capabilities of the assault transport boat to hunt down Lancer. At the same time, all warships ceased fire for fear of damaging this extremely precious prototype ship.

However, at this time, in a very huge laboratory on Quat Planet. A short young woman wearing designer clothes was also watching the battle taking place outside Star Ring through the sensor.

"Chief Engineer, the engine installed during our last thrust test has not been removed yet and was targeted by the fugitives from Separatists." A technician came over and said very respectfully.

He called the young woman Chief Engineer, which revealed her identity - Chief Engineer of Kuat Drive Yards, battleship designer, Lila-Blythex! -
