1976. The gift of killing
Looking at the asteroid turned into lava in front of him, Tang Xiao was finally satisfied with the Flagship-class laser array installed by Divinity-class battleship. Well, this is what he wanted.
We certainly can't blame our Grand Duke for this, right? He is not a professional. What he hopes to see must be huge and gorgeous fireworks, not such a low-key flash.
So for Salarian's way of thinking, losing three Hunter Class Battlecruisers in an instant is the best explanation. But for Tang Xiao, he even wondered whether Arroyo-Barlow had installed bombs on those Hunter Class ships in advance.
But if he directly blew up an asteroid, it would be equivalent to setting off a big firework, and he would be happy.
In fact, this is also because Tang Xiao stopped touching the data of these battleships a long time ago. If it were during the time when he just traveled through time, the management work at that time was not so busy, and he could go to the Engineering Department all day long to see what the spaceships in the games and dreams looked like.
He even personally participated in the test flight of Wraith fighter. At that time, he was familiar with all the data and performance of Wraith fighter.
But now, as Duchy of Dawn continues to expand, his work is becoming increasingly busy. And for the battleships in these games, Tang Xiao has long lost the freshness it had before. At this time, even if he was placed in front of Spear of Adun, who had drooled so much when he just crossed over, his first reaction was how much territory could Duchy of Dawn gain by throwing this thing out?
So at this time, he would not include the data of a certain warship into the scope of his thinking. For a battle, he only needs to listen to General Staff Headquarters's opinion and make a macro judgment on the outcome of the battle.
Therefore, this National Day gift from Salarian is really just a gift for Tang Xiao. Divinity-class battleship, for this Grand Duke of Dawn, it is really just a gift that can please him.
Moreover, no matter how successful Death Force is now Tang Xiao, this is still Dark Side Force. His interest in killing far exceeds that of others. No matter how much he thinks rationally from a national level, he cannot be absolutely calm.
Therefore, Tang Xiao is actually more concerned about how much killing the weapons given to him by his subordinates can cause and how big fireworks can be set off. It's no wonder that he was very dissatisfied with Divinity-class battleship's fleeting attack method of Flagship-class laser array.
At this time, Tang Xiao looked at the majestic holographic projection of Divinity-class battleship, thought for a while, and asked, "What about Particle Beam Lance? Wouldn't it be better if Particle Beam Lance could be installed on Divinity-class battleship?"
Arroyo-Barlow quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "You must not do this. The length of the Particle Beam Lance system is more than 800 meters, and it can only be installed on the long axis of the battleship. For Divinity-class battleship, this will become a superfluous device. It's ready. On the one hand, adding the Particle Beam Lance system will make the structure of the warship more fragile. On the other hand, the Oracle-class is for side combat. The basic posture in combat is to move around the enemy, and the Particle Beam Lance installed on the long axis is useless at this time."
He pointed to the six huge cylindrical Flagship-class laser array stretched out from both sides of the battleship in the holographic projection, and said, "Actually, you see, the volume of these six groups of Flagship-class laser array is not much smaller than Particle Beam Lance. The volume of Group One is equivalent to about half of Particle Beam Lance. Using the simplest conversion method, It is equivalent to installing three sets of Particle Beam Lance. Moreover, after discussion, we agreed that it is most appropriate to continue to use Calamity-class battlecruiser as the carrier platform for Particle Beam Lance. In this way, Calamity-class can concentrate on providing fire support at the rear of the battlefield without having to consider other issues."
Tang Xiao nodded, frowned at the battleship data displayed on the screen, and asked, "Just now you said that one Divinity-class battleship can withstand the attack of 20 Imperial-class Star Destroyer? Imperial-class Star Destroyer has a long axis of 1,600 meters. Compared with Oracle-class, which has a long axis of 3,820 meters and a height of 1,400 meters, its volume is about one-seventh. Can this produce such a huge advantage?"
"This must mention another super system of Divinity-class battleship." Arroyo-Barlow seemed to be waiting for Tang Xiao to mention this topic, "Actually, you should also be weird, Why is Divinity-class battleship so huge, but there are only six groups of Flagship-class laser array on it? In fact, on the one hand, it is because this laser array is really huge, and on the other hand, it is because we installed this thing - battle equipment."
"What is this? Specially used for fighting?" Tang Xiao asked.
"You can understand this battle equipment as a means of overloading." Arroyo-Barlow said, "After activating the battle equipment, the battleship's reactor will be overloaded, and the entire battleship's energy system will be reintegrated through countless electronic interfaces. Through a series of electromagnetic field magnetic pole conversion, all the energy of the battleship is concentrated on combat modules, such as Flagship-class laser array, such as modules that support resistance armor, etc. Under such circumstances, Divinity-class battleship will become an indestructible and invulnerable super battleship!"
Arroyo-Barlow clicked on the holographic projection. The projection of the entire battleship turned red, and the dense energy transmission lines in it also began to undergo very violent activities. "Look, this is the battle when the battle equipment is activated. Ship state. In this state, the firepower and protection capabilities of the Oracle-class have doubled, reaching a very terrifying level. In this state, one Oracle-class can compete with 20 Imperial-class Star Destroyer!"
"So, severely damage 20 Imperial-class and then leave?" Tang Xiao pointed at the projection and said.
"Ah no, not really. The main reason for what I said before about escaping is that in this state, Divinity-class battleship cannot guarantee the destruction of the target. It can only severely damage the opponent and then repel it - because after activating the battle equipment, Divinity-class battleship will lose the ability to move." Arroyo-Barlow said, "After all, the battle equipment is not just It is to redistribute energy. This equipment can even mobilize the energy in the hyperspace engine at the same time. This will have a negative impact on the ion field of the battleship. Neither the hyperspace jump nor the Sublight engine can be started... well, or it is a forced shutdown state. Even after turning off the combat equipment, it will take almost an hour to restart the engine and restore mobility."
Tang Xiao is extremely satisfied with this, "This is equivalent to a kind of equipment that will never stop fighting. If Oracle-class can be directly inserted into the formation of the opponent's fleet and then turn on the battle equipment, then..."
"Yes, it is the situation you are thinking of. If I were Commander of the opponent's fleet, I would definitely cry." Arroyo-Barlow said proudly.
"Very good, Arroyo-Barlow. You did give me a good gift." Tang Xiao nodded with satisfaction and patted the other party's shoulder, "As I said to you before, I am not sure when the war will break out, but I am very sure... this war must end with my overall victory!"
His voice became gloomy and terrifying. He leaned into Arroyo-Barlow's ear and said with a ferocious smile, "How many lives will be lost to Divinity-class battleship? I'm really looking forward to it... Hahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!!!"
Tang Xiao laughed and left the bridge, taking the shuttle away.
Back on the shuttle, a communication was waiting. The holographic projection of Prime Minister of the Cabinet Helmut-Zemo appeared in front. He said with great respect, "Grand Duke, Chiss territory's envoys have arrived, and they are waiting in the reception hall of the Duchy Palace."
After just admiring the big fireworks set off by Divinity-class battleship, Tang Xiao is now in a very good mood, "Ah, I was wondering when Chiss will arrive. Tell them to be calm and I will be there soon."
From the Cave-Beale planet at the site of this tribute to Dawn Star Planet, it took almost an hour because only the Sublight engine could be used to fly. When Tang Xiao returned to Dawn Star Planet Duchy Palace, he saw all Chiss's envoys standing in the living room waiting, looking cautious and not daring to show any signs of neglect.
Standing at the front of the delegation were two Chisss, a man and a woman. They both looked to be in their forties or fifties and had extraordinary temperament. Especially the man on the right is tall and tall, and he looks like he has a military background.
"Hahahaha! Welcome, guests from afar!" Tang Xiao laughed and walked up. He stretched out his hands, and without any regard for the etiquette of heads of state, he directly put his arms around the shoulders of the two leaders and brought them in. As he walked, he said, "So, you are Csapla family and Nuruodo family? Hahaha! Okay! Very good!"
The man Nuruodo family was not very resistant. He was taller than Tang Xiao, so he didn't feel awkward at all. However, the middle-aged woman Csapla family couldn't accept Tang Xiao's gangster-like behavior. She twisted her shoulders and tried to struggle, but she couldn't shake Tang Xiao's hand at all. She could only be dragged in by Tang Xiao with a livid face.
How could Csapla family's emotions not be detected by Tang Xiao at such a close distance? He glanced at the other party without any trace, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I heard that all of you Family Cabinet gave up your own names and called yourself by your family. This really makes me a little uncomfortable." Tang Xiao said with a smile, "Well, anyway, I am in a very good mood today. Now, since you are here, you are welcome. Come and have a drink with me first."
"Your Excellency... we..." Csapla family still wanted to struggle, and was also trying to remind Tang Xiao of his current misbehavior, but it was still in vain.
Tang Xiao dragged the two of them to the banquet hall again, and the rest of the Chiss delegation had to follow at a distance, neither daring to get closer nor to stay away.
Here, a sumptuous banquet has been prepared. Tang Xiao pressed the two of them on their seats, sat comfortably between them, and said with a smile, "You know, I have been waiting for you to come here for a long time! Chiss. Hahahaha! Come! I will toast Chiss territory for this glass of wine first! Hahahaha!"
He forced the wine glasses into the hands of the two Chiss family representatives. He didn't care whether they drank or not, but he drank it all first.
Csapla family and Nuruodo family had no choice but to accompany him.
Then, Tang Xiao filled another glass of wine for himself, and then personally filled another glass for the two of them. He said with a smile, "This second glass, I salute our Duchy of Dawn's Admiral of the Navy, the invincible Sefrans-Tann! Hahahaha!"
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
However, as soon as the name Sefrans-Tann came out, Csapla family's face became a little embarrassed. Because Sefrans-Tann, the former Seff family, was destroyed, and Csapla family was actually involved in it.
The number of ruling families in Chiss territory was only 3 when there was a small number, 12 when there were many, and now there are 9. Such a drastic change in quantity actually shows that the struggle between families within Chiss territory is very fierce.
And it is impossible for Tang Xiao not to know what happened when Seff family was destroyed, and Sefrans-Tann will definitely tell him. Therefore, at this time, she took the initiative to mention Sefrans-Tann, which made Csapla family's heart beat continuously. She was not sure what Tang Xiao meant.
Nuruodo family didn't care, he was also happy to see Csapla family deflated, so he laughed loudly and drank the wine in the glass generously.
Tang Xiao turned his head, narrowed his eyes and looked at Csapla family, who was hesitant and not sure whether he should drink this glass of wine, and said slowly, "What's wrong? Csapla family, do you think our Duchy of Dawn's wine is not good to drink? Or do you think that a yellow-skinned human like me is not worthy of drinking with you?"
Csapla family's hand shook and she almost spilled the entire glass of wine. She didn't dare to hesitate at all and drank the glass of wine directly with a tilt of her neck.
Just kidding, what Tang Xiao said means that, even if this cup is poison, I have to drink it!
"Hahahahaha!!" Tang Xiao filled them with a third glass of wine. This time, he raised the glass and said, "Then our third glass... should be a toast to... Mas-Ro-Nurudo—Major General Galactic Empire Navy."
"Pfft..." Nuruodo family was about to toast, but when he heard this, he couldn't hold back and squirted out all the wine he had just drank.
He reacted very quickly. He quickly jumped up and took out a handkerchief to clean up the spilled wine on the table.
However, all I saw was that the sprayed wine suddenly seemed to be alive, floating up out of thin air, and then formed a trickle in the air, and every drop flew back into Nuruodo family's wine glass!
