1975.Divinity-class battleship (Part 2)
"This is why we need to vigorously develop aircraft carriers." Tang Xiao nodded, "Proton Torpedo, Concussion Missile attacks launched by fighter and bomber platforms, regardless of attack angle In terms of speed and power, it exceeds the Turbolaser gun, but there is a possibility of being intercepted. I believe that even if it is the Divinity-class battleship, it will be very troublesome if the opponent's bomber fires a few rounds of Proton Torpedo at the engine position."
"Please rest assured that the research and development work of Eternal-class Super Carrier is being carried out steadily. At the same time, we have also made great progress in the technology of carrier-based aircraft. Protoss also agreed to hand over the technology of the next generation interceptor to us." Arroyo-Barlow said.
While they were talking, the Divinity-class battleship had begun to move towards the scheduled test location. On the bridge, hundreds of crew members were busy performing their duties. There are robots, humans, Salarian, Gran and other races.
The level of automation of battleships in "EVE" is very high. In addition, these battleships are generally very professional and have a single function, so they do not require a large number of crew members to support them.
For example, Divinity-class battleship only requires 200 crew members to operate the warship at a minimum. Of course, to actually carry out the mission, it is necessary to arrange backup crews, engineering teams, damage control, and a Marines consisting of 500 combat robots to maintain order and prepare for emergencies. During combat, a Divinity-class battleship had a crew of 4,000 people, plus 1,500 robots of various types.
Of course, the difference between the Galactic Empire battleship and the Duchy of Dawn battleship can also be seen from the crew configuration. Galactic Empire's main battleship Imperial I-class Star Destroyer requires more than 30,000 crew members, including an integrated corps of 9,700 people and 72 carrier-based aircraft.
Let's compare the staffing of Oracle-class. It's okay to say that Oracle-class is a lump of iron!
Similarly, designs like Oracle-class and Hell Angel-class will never have anything to do with the planet's atmosphere.
"Then, please allow me to show you the powerful firepower of Divinity-class battleship - Flagship-class laser array." Arroyo-Barlow said, "In the front, we captured in the previous battle The three Hunter Class Battlecruiser will be used as the target ships for this test. Of course, adhering to the principle of waste utilization, except for the reactor and shield system, other parts of the three Hunter Class have been disassembled and reused."
He turned to the operator over there and said loudly, "Start the test and let the Hunter Class shield operate at full power. The ship will immediately enter combat status and prepare to charge the main gun."
When not talking to Tang Xiao, Arroyo-Barlow still spoke at the same speed as fried beans.
It was only seen that under the control of the operator, the Divinity-class battleship began to turn the ship sideways, with its side facing forward. This is also a characteristic of this series of battleships, which is completely different from the design route of the Galactic Empire battleships where full firepower can be used only when facing the enemy head-on.
At the same time, as instructions were given, three circular devices on both sides of Divinity-class battleship began to extend outward, forming three cylindrical shapes on each side. This is the Flagship-class laser array equipped on Oracle-class!
This Flagship-class laser array fighting posture stretches out into a cylindrical array hundreds of meters high, with this ultra-powerful laser array installed above. This is a very advanced design. This layout has gone beyond the scope of the turret. It is a firepower platform with greater power and no directional limitations.
"Charged! Target locked! Ready to fire!" Arroyo-Barlow glanced at Tang Xiao again, and gave the order with a wave of his hand.
At this moment, Tang Xiao only saw a few flashes of light on the three Flagship-class laser arrays on one side. This flash of light was so fast, almost fleeting, that is, with Tang Xiao's concentration and the help of the Force, ordinary people would not even notice such a flash of light!
However, on the sensor, the three Hunter Class Battlecruiser, whose shields were fully deployed, had already begun to explode and catch fire! Within a few seconds, it was twisted and deformed under the extremely high temperature energy and then exploded!
"This is Flagship-class laser array, the ultra-high power X-ray stimulated by Flagship-class X-ray crystal." Arroyo-Barlow said.
Tang Xiao also felt extremely novel about this situation, because in his original concept, if a main gun of the Divinity-class battleship level were to fire, it should be so powerful that it could destroy the world at a glance.
For example, the previous Ragnarok-class Titan warship's 500-meter-caliber super super super electromagnetic gun, or the Hypermatter Railgun of Kohl-class Battlecruiser, or the Yamato Cannon of Behemoth-class battlecruiser. When it fires, it is full of courage, devastating, imposing, and crackling.
However, now Divinity-class battleship's fire only briefly flashed and then disappeared? Not only is the attack special effect gone, but the attack target is also gone... You can't even see clearly what color the light emitted is.
"Since this is a laser array, doesn't it need continuous irradiation? That's the end of it?" Tang Xiao frowned. He even felt that Arroyo-Barlow was lying to him.
Arroyo-Barlow shook his head and said, "If you mean like the main gun of Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, which will continue to illuminate the target for 3 to 5 seconds every time it fires, it is completely insufficient power. For a truly powerful gun For laser weapons, even a 0.001-second irradiation can have the power to destroy everything. This kind of instantaneous irradiation has no possibility of dodge, unless the opponent can get rid of the lock of the fire control system like Jedi Knight."
Tang Xiao nodded doubtfully, but his brows were still furrowed.
Arroyo-Barlow also felt a little tricky. For Salarian, he couldn't understand Tang Xiao's layman's mentality of watching the fun, so he didn't quite understand why Grand Duke of Dawn looked unhappy.
Finally, a human scientist came over and said to Tang Xiao, "Grand Duke, maybe we can try to let Oracle-class's Flagship-class laser array bomb an asteroid."
Half an hour later, looking at the asteroids that had completely turned into countless lava and exploded in front of him, Tang Xiao laughed heartily. He patted Arroyo-Barlow on the shoulders and said, "Hahahahaha! I can already imagine Imperial-class Star Destroyer being destroyed like a chicken or a tile dog in front of Oracle-class!"
