305. Development of civilization (Part 2)
In addition, in order to expand the army's weapons arsenal, three individual weapons have also been developed and added to the army's equipment arsenal. Including the M-5 Phalanx pistol (Phalanx) and the M-29 Mantis sniper rifle, these are all weapons in "Mass Effect". In addition, in order to make up for the lack of anti-armor firepower, the scientific research team also specially developed the M-41 SSR twin rocket launcher.
The M-41 SSR twin-mounted rocket launcher is a product in the technology tree of "Halo". It can launch 102mm caliber HEAT shaped armor-piercing projectiles, which can cause devastating blows to armored units. Moreover, it can launch two rockets at one time, so it can better attack targets that are difficult to destroy.
The only drawback is that this rocket launcher is a bit bulky. Basically, after carrying this rocket launcher, you can only carry 6 spare rockets and a pistol for self-defense.
In addition, several armored vehicles from Tyran Heavy Industries have also begun to enter production, mainly including Vulture Vehicle and Goliath Mech in "StarCraft".
The performance of Vulture Vehicle is much better than the SATP individual weapon platform commonly used in the world of "Star Wars", which is a vehicle similar to a hoverbike. Although its flexibility is slightly inferior, its maximum speed and firepower exceed the latter.
The reference of Goliath Mech should be the AT-RT all-terrain combat platform recently developed by Galactic Republic. It is also a bipedal mecha. The Goliath Mech, which is only 4.8 meters tall, is smaller than the AT-RT, and its ground firepower is also much weaker. But Goliath Mech has very powerful anti-air capabilities, precise fire control and enemy locking systems, and the excellent performance of Hellfire Long-Range Scatter Missile make it a nightmare for all air units.
With the gradual installation of these equipment, Fourth Civilization Army has also expanded its army to the level of 10,000 people. Of course, the actual establishment is much larger, such as the 1.9 million B-1 combat robots and 100,000 B-2 super combat robots that are mothballed. The real establishment is also in the army sequence.
Not to mention Fourth Legion, 4TH., which was secretly established by Tang Xiao!
Of course, Army Commander Xiao Guanghua doesn't know these things. What makes him even more delighted now is another piece of equipment——
Banshee Fighter!
This is a dedicated intra-atmospheric fighter aircraft using Turbofan Engine, which is also a product of Tyran Heavy Industries. It is one of the technology trees of "StarCraft" and is currently undergoing test flights. Once Banshee Fighter enters active service, Fourth Civilization Army will initially have all-round air-ground strike capabilities.
In terms of space battleships, although the construction and research and development of large-scale battleships have been temporarily suspended, technical reserves have never stopped. In order to mass-produce the TEC warships in "Sins of a Solar Empire" in the future, Research Department has been studying the technology of this technology tree, and some small warships have also been developed and added to the sequence of Fourth Civilization Navy.
The first are two types of light frigates, namely Stilat Class Light Corvette (stilat class Corvette) and Shriken Class Light Corvette (Shriken class corvette).
In fact, generally speaking, these two light frigates are the same model, but they are equipped with completely different weapons.
These two types of light frigates are 35 meters long, have a crew of 10, and are equipped with two laser cannons, two small close-range anti-aircraft guns and a missile launcher. Their firepower can be said to be very powerful.
And they are also equipped with special weapons. Stilat Class Light Corvette can destroy the molecular structure of the target's armor, making the target's armor more fragile, while Shriken Class Light Corvette can affect the output power of the opponent's engine, reducing the speed of the hit spacecraft.
However, this is ineffective against shields, so it can only be effective after destroying the target's shield. Although the effect is much smaller, these two spacecrafts have a very big advantage.
First of all, although Stilat Class and Shriken Class are named light frigates, they actually sacrifice their combat capabilities in the atmosphere to make their maneuverability unimaginably powerful! Even comparable to a fighter jet!
This is also the characteristic of the Emergency Traders Alliance TEC's spaceship in "Sins of a Solar Empire" - extremely maneuverable.
Therefore, Stilat Class and Shriken Class have become monsters that fighter jets cannot defeat, frigates cannot catch up with, and close firepower may not be able to break through defenses! And these two types of light frigates can even fit into the hangar of a large aircraft carrier!
In actual combat, these two types of light frigates will be able to approach the opponent's large warship under the cover of fighter jets, and then give the opponent a fatal blow! You must know that in fleet battles, large warships on both sides sometimes have shields that do not cover the entire warship at all times in order to fully utilize their firepower.
You must know that in the in-game performance and settings of "Sins of a Solar Empire", Shriken Class and Stilat Class exist as early-stage battleship killers!
According to the future Fourth Civilization space combat doctrine with aircraft carriers as the core, Stilat Class and Shriken Class Light Corvette can be said to be a perfect fit. As long as they are attached to and entangled by them, the opponent's battleship will soon fall into a desperate situation where it can't run or fight, and its own armor will become very fragile!
It can be said that if the current imaginary enemy, Galactic Republic, will continue to fight in a single-arms formation with Hunter Class Battlecruiser according to his past habits in the future, then Shriken Class and Stilat Class Light Corvette can really teach them how to behave!
In addition, Fourth Civilization has two other small warships joining active service - Javelin Class Heavy Missile Frigate and Valkyrie Class Light Missile Frigate.
Javelin Class Heavy Missile Frigate is also the TEC spacecraft in "Sins of a Solar Empire". This heavy missile frigate is 65 meters long and has a crew of 20. In addition to a laser cannon for self-defense, its main equipment is two large long-range missile launchers.
Fourth Civilization Research Department also equipped Javelin Class Heavy Missile Frigate with the powerful Fusion Nuclear Missile. This is not only a nuclear warhead, the engine of this missile is also a cold nuclear fusion engine ("Stellaris" level 2 missile)! This allows the missile's acceleration to even reach over 1000G, and its maximum range exceeds 10 light minutes. Of course, there is basically no threat at this distance and it will be easily intercepted.
This kind of heavy missile frigate is also a battleship killer. The powerful Fusion Nuclear Missile performs saturation shooting. During Clone Wars, Galactic Republic's battleship Hunter Class Battlecruiser cannot hold it at all.
The Valkyrie light missile frigate is a product of "StarCraft". It is a small warship 33 meters long and 13 meters high. However, this kind of warship can enter the atmosphere and fight, coupled with the powerful fire coverage of the powerful H. A. L. O cluster missile, making them easy to face the opponent's fighter formations or the opponent's ground clusters.
However, the advantages and disadvantages of these two guided missile frigates are very obvious. Javelin-class is slow and has thin armor and shields; Valkyrie-class has heavy armor but slower speed. It is basically a bulky firepower platform.
Fourth Civilization's weapons and equipment are all like this, with obvious advantages and disadvantages, but if multiple arms cooperate, it will explode with terrible power!
This is also Tang Xiao's trump card as he prepares to compete in the Galaxy! -
There are a lot of equipments appearing in this chapter, so I will put two of them first and then add them slowly.
