1804.Endless-class Super Carrier (middle)
The spacecraft entered the Infinity from the hangar entrance, only to see that it was a very huge Hangar Platform. Above the broad platform, there are hundreds of movable gantry racks. These gantry racks are currently empty, but in the future, each gantry rack will be hung with a fighter jet.
This is a modern Hangar Platform with a complete set of fighter maintenance and supply functions. There is even a fighter production line that can dismantle and assemble some damaged fighter jets into brand new fighter jets. Or, far away from the rear base, local materials can be used to directly build fighter jets.
There are two Hangar Platforms like this, located on both sides of the rear of the battleship.
"Grand Duke! Thank you for coming!" More than a dozen Neimoidian walked towards them, and the one at the front was naturally the Governor of Trade Federation, Newt Gunray.
He held his hands in front of his chest with great respect.
"I heard that you made a lot of changes to the design of Endless-class Super Carrier based on the existing technical situation. Is that true?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Please let me introduce you, Grand Duke." A Neimoidian wearing goggles came out from behind Newt Gunray. He bowed to Tang Xiao, "I am Mar-Took, and I am currently the captain of Infinity."
"I remember you. During the Rynoth battle, you were commanding Confederacy of Independent Systems's fleet." Tang Xiao said. He naturally remembered this General Neimoidian who had caused a lot of trouble to Anakin-Skywalker.
"This is my honor." Mal-Tuk saluted again, then cleared his throat and said loudly, "Endless-class Super Carrier is currently the largest one that our Trade Federation has ever participated in building. The battleship, even among our Duchy of Dawn, is second only to Titan warship, with a length of 5694.2 meters, a height of 1041.2 meters, and a width of 833.3 meters..."
Tang Xiao nodded. Indeed, compared to Titan warship, which incorporates the most cutting-edge technology of Duchy of Dawn, Endless-class Super Carrier can be said to be a super battleship that can be put on the production line. For Duchy of Dawn, it is of great significance.
"The main design direction of Endless-class Super Carrier is to be able to support continuous operations outside the supply circle for a long time. The battleship has a complete fighter, missile, and bullet manufacturing factory inside, and a blasting gas compression factory has also been added. The supplies carried by the battleship itself can last for two years, and if simple supplies can be obtained, it can even continue to operate outside for 5 to 10 years."
Mal-Tuke led Tang Xiao and Adele-Ulan through Hangar Platform and onto the Group One high-speed magnetic rail car, which is a means of transportation inside the battleship and is used to move quickly inside the huge battleship. The 4825-meter-long Conqueror-class battleship also has a similar design.
"The biggest change we have made to this warship is to redesign the weapon system. First of all, the four 27-meter-caliber super electromagnetic guns originally designed to be installed in the front of the warship will now be modified to three Particle Beam Lance." Mal-Turk said.
"Shouldn't it be a four-seater?" Tang Xiao asked sideways.
"With four Particle Beam Lances, there is not enough space. The length of the Group One Particle Beam Lance system is about 800 meters, while the original 27-meter caliber super electromagnetic gun of Group One is only 300 meters long. Therefore, the new space layout can only accommodate three Particle Beam Lance. However, compared with the original electromagnetic gun, the combat capability of Particle Beam Lance is naturally far greater."
Tang Xiao nodded and asked, "So what about Particle Beam Lance's additional space requirements? How do you deal with it?"
"Doctor Halsey helped us redesign the energy transmission system of the battleship to transmit the energy from the central reactor at the rear of the ship to the bow, and the transmission path is just above the rail transit we are now riding." Marl-Tooke said, "In addition, all the energy transmission paths around the energy transmission path In the area involved, there were originally 700 missile launch arrays, but now they have all been converted into Turbolaser cannons and heavy laser cannons, which will free up a lot of space for missile storage and manufacturing, which just makes up for the more space occupied by Particle Beam Lance."
He continued, "There were 1,100 missile launch systems in the original design, but now only 400 of them are retained to make up for the firepower gap of the Turbolaser cannon and heavy laser cannon. At the same time, 500 of the 837 70mm rapid-fire close-in defense guns have been converted into laser Point Defense System, and the remaining 337 are mainly used to launch diffusion bombs and special ammunition."
"The current firepower configuration of Endless-class Super Carrier is based on the ultra-long-range Particle Beam Lance as the core, the heavy anti-matter missile as the outer ring, the Turbolaser cannon as the middle ring, and the heavy laser cannon as the inner ring. The close-in defense laser system and the 70mm caliber rapid-fire gun form a layered firepower distribution. The warship is also equipped with three different types of missiles to perform tasks against large warships, small and medium-sized warships, and anti-fighter aircraft."
"Therefore, the firepower of the adjusted Endless-class Super Carrier can be said to be sufficient to meet the needs of any situation. It is more powerful than any known warship in the galaxy!" Mal-Tuk said excitedly.
Tang Xiao was very satisfied after hearing this. Because he knew that Endless-class Super Carrier was not a pure warship in its original design. Its main firepower was four 27-meter-caliber electromagnetic guns, and these four electromagnetic guns were still fixed on the bow of the ship, making it very troublesome to aim. Other firepower includes 1,100 groups of missile launchers and 837 groups of close-in defense guns. They are mainly for self-defense. Strictly speaking, they do not have the ability to compete with enemy warships of the same level.
However, now that it has been modified, it is completely different!
With three Particle Beam Lances, the firepower of Endless-class Super Carrier instantly becomes insane! And although it is also fixed on the bow of the ship, Particle Beam Lance can travel at the speed of light Energy Weapons! Its hit rate is much higher than that of the electromagnetic gun!
And "Star Wars" the world's traditional Turbolaser cannon is also a powerful technology that is much larger than ordinary laser weapons in terms of power and effective range. With the combination of Turbolaser cannon and Particle Beam Lance, the anti-ship combat capability of Endless-class Super Carrier has completely reached a new height.
At the same time, the missile technology of Duchy of Dawn is also more advanced than that of the UNSC. The commonly installed anti-matter missiles and Proton Torpedo can be said to be a nightmare for enemy warships. And Fire Cloud Missile can effectively spread a deadly radiation cloud, which is a huge threat to warships and fighter jets.
On this basis, Duchy of Dawn also has very mature laser technology. X-ray weapons are now standard equipment on Duchy of Dawn warships. Whether it is the ultra-high-power X-ray fired by a heavy laser cannon, or the high-speed X-ray fired by a close-range defense laser cannon, they can all achieve better combat effectiveness.
Therefore, after such modification, although the density of Endless-class Super Carrier's defensive firepower has been reduced and it is more inclined to fight against ships, in fact, even if the opponent has a large number of fighter jets attacking, Endless Class's close-range firepower network can still attack head-on.
This kind of modification direction is, on the one hand, to make the best use of everything and directly apply the existing advanced technology of Duchy of Dawn. At the same time, it is also designed to face the numerous Imperial-class Star Destroyers like Galactic Empire Navy!
