613. New battleship tree

A shuttle slowly landed on the planet Cave-Bill. On this ocean planet, rapid changes are taking place, and new ocean city sectors are being built almost every day.

Salarian is working with their amazing efficiency, and Professor Modin breaks the tradition of Salarian by canceling hatching restrictions within 20 years and liberalizing population growth on the grounds of rebuilding civilization. It is expected that within 20 years, the population of Salarian will stabilize at 800 million to 1 billion.

Only then will they continue their tradition of limiting the number of population hatches each year to keep population growth balanced.

Tang Xiao's shuttle drove directly to the central space port of the largest ocean city sector and docked. When he just stepped off the spacecraft, Salarian Chief Engineer Arroyo-Barlow happened to come over with his core team.

Salarian has almost no concept of waiting. Even if Tang Xiao notifies him in advance, he will definitely use every second to calculate the arrival time of Tang Xiao's spaceship and then come out to greet it.

Arroyo-Barlow made a gesture of invitation, even skipping the pleasantries, and walked directly and said, "In the database permissions you gave, Amarr Empire's battleship does have strong plasticity and its weapon system The main difficulty in merging it with our existing equipment is that the hull material Tritanium-like crystalline colloidal mineral and silver-like supermetal replacement materials require a lot of physical experiments, but we still found suitable materials on Dor Planet."

"So how does the performance of this newly produced destroyer compare with our existing warships?" Tang Xiao asked.

"This can be directly understood during the trial voyage." Arroyo said.

Tang Xiao nodded, and went with him to the control center on the other side of the spaceport. On the super large screen in the center of the control center, the space station located in a secret dock was displayed.

I only saw three large battleships parked side by side in the spacious hangar of the space station. The overall shape lines of these three warships are soft and integrated, with a very harmonious aesthetic feeling. The hulls are flat, and two sections of catamaran hulls protrude from the front end, which look like fangs.

However, the shape of such fangs looks elegant and graceful because of the golden paint, and does not give people a ferocious feeling at all.

Looking at the ship, Tang Xiao's eyes narrowed.

As soon as they arrived at the control center, Arroyo-Barlow immediately started busy, but left Tang Xiao aside. Several other human scientists came over and continued to explain to Tang Xiao.

"Sir Governor, I am the structural designer of the Professor Arroyo ship Engineering Corps team, Lin Long." The scientist first bowed politely, and then said, "The original design of the three Enforcer-class destroyers The model is ready and we will start the trial in 10 minutes. There are hundreds of types of the Amarr Empire ships in the database. The reason why we chose Enforcer-class is because this warship is very suitable as our first product to break technical barriers."

He speaks in a very regular manner, much faster than Salarian who speaks like crazy beans.

"Wouldn't it be too simple and lack the depth of technical accumulation, nor would it be too complex and cause the research progress to lag behind?" Tang Xiao said.

"Indeed, for the Amarr Empire's warship, the energy supply system is the core of the core. Because of this, the energy system of their spacecraft is highly overlapped with the energy structure of our existing warships. However, due to differences in production processes and material technologies, we still have to overcome many difficulties before we can finally complete it. It must be said that Salarian is really a natural scholar." Lin Long said.

While they were talking, the three Enforcer-class destroyers on the screen had started their engines and took off Hangar Platform. The spacecraft captured in the video also flew out immediately, always maintaining a suitable distance, fully displaying the heroic appearance of Enforcer-class.

"Enforcer-class is 266 meters in length and 42 meters high. According to our battleship classification of Fourth Civilization, it is a heavy destroyer. There are 8 sets of advanced slots for installing weapons, and a total of Equipped with 16 turrets, Amarr Empire's battleship fully considers the modular design, and we can adjust the equipment on the slots at any time to adjust the performance of the battleship." Lin Long began to explain.

"Where is the current equipment?" Tang Xiao asked.

"16 medium-sized X-ray comprehensive turrets. This turret can reduce the power to increase the firing frequency to fight enemy fighters, or increase the power to directly fight warships." Lin Long said.

On the screen, three Enforcer-class destroyers have started test firing against the target ship. It can be seen that under various powers, their firepower is indeed very flexible. This made Tang Xiao finally feel relieved.

When conducting research on spaceships in "EVE", the reason why he chose Amarr Empire is because the battleship weapon systems of the Amarr Empire are based on Energy Weapons. This overlaps with their existing technology and can greatly reduce the development time, but the biggest problem is whether it is compatible.

At present, the weapon system of Fourth Civilization, in addition to the Turbolaser cannon directly borrowed from the doctrine, the most advanced one is based on the X-ray in the technology tree of "Stellaris" The weapon is based on the particle beam weapon in the "Homeworld 2" technology tree. The X-ray weapon is used by the Amarr Empire battleship.

At present, it seems that the compatibility is good, which also makes Tang Xiao a lot happy.

"So, what about the defense system?" Tang Xiao asked again.

"Amarr Empire battleships generally use electromagnetic field technology to enhance the performance of nano-armor, and adjust the pertinence of this voltage-type film through different magnetic fields. However, we have not conquered this technology. At present, we still install Deflector Shield on Enforcer-class. However, this will increase the capacitance pressure of the battleship and affect the firepower." Lin Long said.

"Is there a schedule for voltage film technology?" Tang Xiao asked.

"This is very different from our existing technology, and it is currently expected to take at least half a year." Lin Long replied, "But for now, in simulated battles, the combat performance of Enforcer-class is already slightly better than Revelation-class light cruiser. I believe that after the voltage-type film is completed, the performance will make a big leap, which will ensure that we maintain an advantage over Republic warship among warships of this level."

"In that case, authorize Salarian to build his own fleet, starting with Enforcer-class."

"In addition, there is Punisher-class frigate, which should be finalized within a month. These two warships should be able to form a team with certain combat effectiveness." Lin Long.

"Then, it's time for Salarian to take to the stage of the galaxy."
