1481.Executor-class Super Star Destroyer plan
"Executor-class?" Little Kuat frowned, "Indeed, compared to Eclipse-class, Executor-class has a lower technical span and is relatively less difficult to implement. But, how should we explain to the Speaker?"
"Eclipse-class's main gun was destroyed on the prototype ship. The cost of copying is very high, and the experimental results after copying cannot be determined." Lila-Blythex said directly, " The design of Executor-class does not have as high requirements for the main gun as the Eclipse-class. In this case, only by launching the Executor-class plan can the Super Star Destroyer catch up with the progress of the war in time."
"Executor-class's plan..." Little Kuat pondered, "After all, it is still a very huge project to complete the design and finalization of Executor-class. At least for us now, it is very difficult... I don't think we can achieve the speaker's requirements."
Lila-Blythex said with a cold smile, "You don't think that Kuat Drive Yards won't take any responsibility for such a big thing happening to us Kuat, right? The current Kuat of Kuat, Onana-Kuat, she should understand this better than any of us."
Little Kuat looked at the woman in front of him, who was short but beautiful and had a slim figure, and nodded.
In fact, he admired Lila-Blythex, but not because of her ship design capabilities. In fact, Lila-Blythex's ability to design ships is also very powerful, but it is still far behind compared to her father.
Compared with Willix-Blythex, which can independently complete epoch-making warships such as Acclamator-class and Hunter Class, Lila's ability is not yet high enough to transcend this era, so she is unable to design Eclipse-class.
Regarding this, Little Kuat, who has worked with her for a long time, knows the details of Lila-Blythex very well. But the reason why Lila is still Chief Engineer of Kuat Drive Yards is mainly due to two reasons.
The first one is Halo, the star of the talented designer who hangs over Lila. Even if the source of this Halo actually comes from her father, the symbolic significance of the existence of this Halo is far greater than its actual significance. It is precisely because of Halo, including the Speaker Sheev-Palpatine, and many members of Galactic Senate, that they are so convinced of the battleship designed and manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards. This alone means countless orders.
The second one is Lila's keen political ability. She is always able to grasp the correct political trends and make the right choices. In this regard, she is even better than many congressmen who are involved in politics.
Therefore, after Willix-Blythex left, Kuat Drive Yards not only did not take off Halo from Lila, but instead intensified its efforts and used a lot of resources to continue to build Lila-Blythex, the star of battleship design. In order to continue her myth, Kuat Drive Yards equipped her with an extremely large engineer think tank to help her complete the design and manufacturing of various battleships.
Knight-class and Consul-class are such products.
Regarding this bad incident that happened to Kuat Industrial Ring, Chancellor of the Republic Sheev-Palpatine was indeed extremely angry. He directly called Onana-Kuat to his office and cursed them, and severely punished Kuat Drive Yards.
What Palpatine is most angry about is naturally the fact that Eclipse-class prototype ship was destroyed. Because in his plan, once Eclipse-class is completed, he will immediately use Eclipse-class as an arrow to launch the most determined offensive against Dawn Star Planet, destroying the foundation of Archangel of Death in one fell swoop!
But now, Kuat actually told him that the prototype ship was destroyed and the project was forced to be suspended?!
He could even think of Archangel of Death's proud expression when he heard the news!
Fortunately, at this time, Lila-Blythex promptly proposed the plan of Executor-class Super Star Destroyer. According to her introduction, the positioning of Executor-class Super Star Destroyer is completely different from that of Eclipse-class. This will be a mass-produced super battleship!
Although Eclipse-class's super main gun that can directly destroy a planet is not installed, the 5,000 heavy-duty Turbolaser guns in the Executor-class design plan are enough to tear apart any warship that appears in front of it!
Lila-Blythex used a lot of professional terms that looked very powerful and attractive to tell Palpatine that she designed the super main gun specifically for Eclipse-class. Some of the design ideas were quite risky, and some hidden dangers were also discovered this time. However, Separatists's prisoner Doctor Zhang Jiarui got some new design ideas, so she planned to use Kyber Crystal as the launch source to design a new invincible main gun.
The design of this brand new Kyber Crystal main gun requires a lot of manpower and material resources, so it takes time to settle. As for the current battle with Separatists, Executor-class Super Star Destroyer's plan is enough to handle it.
Lila-Blythex also said that they have calculated the energy limit of Xuanwu Titan warship, and the firepower of Executor-class Super Star Destroyer has far exceeded the limit of Xuanwu, so Executor-class can ensure the destruction of Xuanwu.
On the side, Onana-Kuat patted their chests and assured Palpatine that Kuat Drive Yards would further expand the scale based on the original investment of Eclipse-class and increase the investment of hundreds of billions of credit points to further accelerate the advancement of the project.
Palpatine finally agreed to the plan.
He also knows that what has happened has happened, and what he needs to do now is to look to the future. Moreover, he had also received information from his advisor Blackhole, and knew that the rescue operation of Zhang Jiarui was carried out by Archangel of Death's two most powerful Dark Jedi Knight, and one of them was Depa-Barris.
Therefore, Palpatine also understood that it was normal for Kuat Drive Yards to be unable to resist a sudden attack by such a powerful force. What's more, according to what Blackhole said, they also used the power of Ancient Sith's artifact-Moor amulet!
This sounded a very serious alarm bell for Palpatine, because with the power of Moor amulet, if it is still allowed to run around, then even Coruscant may be destroyed!
Of course, there is another important reason why Palpatine finally agreed to Executor-class Super Star Destroyer's plan - the design size of Executor-class is even larger than Eclipse-class, reaching a terrifying 19,000 meters!
The design of this battleship is very much in line with the theme of 'Tarkinism' that he advocates.
That's fear! Bring fear to the entire galaxy!
