629, Malevolence
Ruger-Schmeng spoke eloquently about Jedi, "Currently we have not made a breakthrough in the heavy-duty Turbolaser cannon, but we already have some excess energy in the spacecraft. So if it is a warship with the specifications of Conqueror-class, actually There are no suitable weapons to equip them, so whether it is Kuat Drive Yards or Rendili StarDrive, they all choose a battleship scale of about one thousand meters. This is because a battleship of this size can currently optimize the comparison between energy utilization and weapon power."
Tang Xiao nodded, "In other words, from the perspective of the size development of battleships, we are now in a process from small to large?"
Ruger said, "You can say that, because in the past millennium, warships have become larger and larger. The 2500-meter Prosecutor-class, the 4000-meter Judicator-class and the 8000-meter Commander-class are the most extreme representatives. But with the development of energy technology With the development, the same gun power no longer requires such a large warship, so the size of the warship is getting smaller and smaller. By the time the Invincible-class dreadnought has returned to the 2000-meter level, the current Hunter Class is only 1187 meters. The power of the guns of these warships is similar, but the construction costs are very different."
"So the current continuous development of energy technology only lacks one technology to increase the power of naval guns. Once this problem is solved, will large warships appear in large numbers?" Tang Xiao was very interested.
"So this is my topic..." Ruger pointed around very proudly, "Conqueror-class battleship has solved this problem! You see..."
He began to take out a personal terminal full of various formulas, and it seemed that he was ready to talk endlessly about theory.
Count Dooku waved his hand and said, "Okay, as a professional, you can understand these things yourself."
"No, no, no, it's not a waste of time at all. The battleship is in a static state anyway. We first need to adjust the gravity generating device of the dock and synchronize it with the anti-gravity device of Malevolence to take off without causing any damage. This will take at least 20 minutes. You see, my design idea is completely epoch-making. It can be said that it has changed the current pattern of warship manufacturing..."
Seeing that Count Dooku wanted to interrupt him, Tang Xiao said with a smile, "Forget it, idleness is idle anyway. Before this invincible battleship shows its power, it would be good to hear its power first."
Count Dooku It was hard to say anything at this time, so he nodded, stood there, closed his eyes, and actually started meditating.
Seeing that someone was finally willing to listen to his great theory, Ruger-Schmeng ran over and put the screen of his personal terminal in front of Tang Xiao's eyes, and introduced Jedi: "You see... according to my research, all When a spacecraft is sailing, Hypermatter engine actually undergoes an energy release process, and at least 30% of the overflow energy is actually wasted. This is the energy backflow (bleeding) that troubles many engine designers. back) phenomenon. Generally speaking, common spacecraft designs use discharge or heat rejection to release this energy, so as to avoid engine overheating, but this is a huge waste!"
He pointed at Group One's bible-like formulas and kept blaming it in Tang Xiao's face. He also talked about various theories eloquently, which was completely incomprehensible. Tang Xiao was a little speechless. Seeing the sarcastic smile on the corner of Count Dooku's mouth who was meditating on the side, he understood that he must have been baptized like this before.
But even though he didn't understand it, Tang Xiao was really interested, especially in the part that he understood. He could still understand that this was a way to improve the energy utilization efficiency of the spacecraft. He began to think about poaching this guy.
But it should be unlikely. Count Dooku is unwilling to listen to his boring theories, which does not mean that he does not value him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to leave the construction of such a super battleship to him.
Over there, Ruger continued to talk, "... So, in order to utilize the returned energy, I designed an electromagnetic network and used electromagnetic fields to capture this energy. And these captured energies... hahahaha, you know? This is the most wonderful thing. This energy itself is a powerful weapon, and there is no need for me to build a super cannon!"
As Ruger continued to explain, the huge body of Fang-class battleship had slowly risen from the dock. The huge mass caused the dock of thousands of square kilometers to continuously vibrate. After the battleship ascended to a distance of more than 5,000 kilometers from the dock, the engine output began to gradually increase, and finally broke away from the gravitational circle of Parmant, started the hyperspace engine, and disappeared directly.
"Where is our target?" Tang Xiao ignored Luger who was still talking about his theory and turned to Count Dooku to ask.
"Rishi (Rishi). According to the communication we intercepted, Galactic Republic has a fleet active nearby, destroying Republic fleet in that direction, making them afraid to send the fleet near Hutt Space again." Count Dooku said coldly.
Tang Xiao nodded.
The spacecraft sailed in the hyperspace channel for more than half an hour. After leaving the hyperspace, the countless lights outside suddenly disappeared and were replaced by a dark space.
While leaving hyperspace, the battleship's powerful detectors had already scanned the entire star field. On the holographic star map, Tang Xiao saw three Hunter Class Battlecruiser and about 10 frigates on a half-built space station.
"Oh, hehehe... I originally planned to build an outpost here..." Count Dooku sneered, "Activate the electronic interference and kill them."
"Roger Roger!" The B-1 combat robot controlling the battleship responded immediately.
Incomparably powerful electronic interference immediately enveloped the entire star field, and at the same time, Galactic Republic's battleship also discovered this huge battleship.
"Unknown warship discovered! Get ready for battle!!"
"Activate the scanning device!"
"Oh my God! The scan shows that the length of this battleship is 4825 meters!"
"Quick! Send an alert to the rear! We have encountered the Separatists super battleship!"
"Communication failed! The other party launched electronic jamming!"
"How is that possible! Can't even send out battleship-level communications?"
"Prepare to retreat! Be sure to take the news out!"
"Energy reaction detected! This... no... this is more than 700 times the power of our main gun!"
"Run!!!"
On Fang bridge, Count Dooku looked at the small fleet coldly and said lightly, "Focused Directed Ion Pulse (Focused directional ion pulse), launch!"
