379. Peach picking time

Based on the content of the highest power summit held at the end of 32BBY, Fourth Civilization immediately began comprehensive preparations for war. Tang Xiao also revoked the ban he had personally issued to stop the development of large warships at the meeting, and Fourth Civilization's shipbuilding industry was completely liberalized.

Because he previously encouraged Hego-Damask II to build Ragnarok-class Titan warship, and Hego indeed concentrated a large amount of resources on its construction.

The dock of this Titan warship was secretly built on a satellite around the planet Yag'Dhul (Yag'Dhul). Planet Yag'Dhul is the hometown of the Givin (The Givin) [Note 1]. It is orbited by three large satellites Star Ring. The gravitational environment is very complex. Therefore, although this planet is located at an important node between Rima Trade Route and Corellian hyperspace lane, it has not become a transportation artery.

The Givin is a very good spacecraft engineer, but because of the crowding out of planets Galactic Republic Inner Rim and Core Worlds, they don't have much room to display. But in fact, the Givin due to their living environment, they must accurately calculate the operating modes of the three satellites in order to ensure timely response before the tide caused by gravity arrives. Mathematics is the tool they rely on to survive, and they even regard mathematics as their god.

Therefore, one can imagine the mathematical talent of this race.

Hego-Damask II hired them and built a huge Space Shipyard on the back of one of the satellites. This Space Shipyard was surrounded by two Queen-class armed space stations for defense. There were 200 Wraith fighters stationed on the space station to closely protect the dock.

Ragnarok-class Titan warship can be said to be the crystallization of the most advanced technology of Trader Emergency Coalition in "Sins of a Solar Empire", but their technology is still somewhat different from the technology in the current world of "Star Wars", so Hego established 10 scientific research teams to analyze the technology of Ragnarok-class Titan warship.

After completing the technical analysis and starting construction, their technical achievements also remained.

After Hego was confirmed dead and Tang Xiao secretly succeeded Damask Holdings Group as the top director, he asked Semir-Tang to start integrating the group's assets, and Ragnarok-class Titan warship's project became a top priority.

Tang Xiao dispatched Professor Chi Jianjun to lead his scientific research team to set off immediately to the planet Yag'Dhul to start docking with the Givin's scientific research team.

You must know that the mothership database contains data rather than technology trees. You have to click on them one by one. These data are indeed divided into difficulties. Generally speaking, we start analyzing the easy technologies first, and then start analyzing the more difficult technologies after gaining experience and accumulation.

Now the Givin's technical team has completed the analysis of Ragnarok-class Titan warship's technology after spending a lot of manpower, material and resources. In this way, by analogy, in fact, other Trader Emergency Coalition technologies are also included in it. All that is left is to go over here with the information to verify it.

So when Professor Chi Jianjun and the others carried a thick stack of spacecraft data over, the jaws of all the Givin scientists were almost dropped in shock!

Of course, if Hego were still alive, he would have been so angry that he vomited blood on the spot!

What you co-author Tang Xiao have in your hands is a complete system, not the information of a single ship Titan warship? Why do I spend so much manpower, material and financial resources like this? If he analyzes each one step by step, the difficulty of analysis will be reduced by at least half. Considering his huge investment, he can save at least half a year of time and at least 1 billion credit points in cost!!

Next it's time to pick peaches. After successfully receiving the Givin's research results on Ragnarok-class Titan warship, by comparison, it was found that Trader Emergency Coalition's technology has been analyzed 70% of the time! Most of the rest are just some exclusive technologies of the spacecraft. This takes Fourth Civilization's technology to a new level.

This fact proves the foresight of Tang Xiao in prohibiting the development of large warships. Didn't someone help with research? The benefits of concentrating on infrastructure development have come.

31BBY, February.

Count Dooku secretly visited Dawn Star Planet, and after talking in secret with Governor of Dawn Star Planet Tang Xiao for more than an hour, he happily walked out of the office, enjoyed a delicious meal on Glory mothership, and participated in the first flight ceremony of the new warship with Tang Xiao.

These two new types of warships are Percheron-class Light Carrier and Garda Flak Frigate. These are not the results obtained from the Givin, but a research project started by Professor Chi Jianjun half a year ago.

Among them, Garda Flak Frigate (Garda Flak Frigate) is 100 meters long, 30 meters wide at its widest position, 45 meters high, and has a maximum crew of 300 people. It is a ship-type warship. This destroyer does not have any large-scale firepower. Instead, it has eight twin-mounted close-range anti-aircraft guns. With a powerful fire control system and target locking system, this lightweight Flak Frigate will become a nightmare for fighter jets.

The original design of Garda Flak Frigate was four Electromagnetic Cannon, but Professor Chi Jianjun underwent further modifications. After replacing Electromagnetic Cannon with ultraviolet laser cannons, the space saved was used to install more close-in defense turrets.

The Percheron-class Light Carrier (Percheron Light Carrier) is positioned as a light Escort Carrier. This aircraft carrier is 210 meters long, 90 meters wide, has a crew of 450 people, and has a flat shape. It can carry a total of 48 Wraith fighter for two squadrons. If it is equipped with Vulture droid fighter, this number can be increased to 180.

The emergence of these two new types of warships is very important, because before this Fourth Civilization had a total of two fleets - the main fleet Fleet A commanded by Matt-Hona and one Fleet S to solve some minor problems.

Now, after accepting the assets of Damask Holdings Group, in order to maintain the 120 mining areas and resource areas, as well as more caravan routes, a large number of escort fleets must be formed.

At this time, Percheron-class Light Carrier and Garda Flak Frigate are just right.

With one Percheron-class Light Carrier as the core, a fleet composed of 4 Garda Flak Frigate, 4 Cobalt-class heavy frigate, and 4 Pulsar-class light frigate can support the escort mission of a star sector.

You must know that Garda Flak Frigate is not only a huge threat to fighter jets, but also a very huge threat to those small spacecraft or small cargo ships that pirates often equip!

Tang Xiao is preparing to form the first batch of 10 escort fleets, and more will be established later. In order to save manpower, except for the command team on Percheron-class Light Carrier, all other crew members are completed by B-1 combat robots, and carrier-based aircraft only use Vulture droid fighter instead of Wraith fighter, which requires human piloting.
