Chapter 1070 Hades Class Aircraft Carrier
The system shows that the Zeus-class landing ship is composed of 3 major components.
1. Weapon system: In the war against the Zerg, the Hercules transport ship played an extremely important role. However, due to the lack of weapons and equipment, even if it was escorted by a fighter plane, it was still regarded as an easy target by the Zerg. Sometimes the dragon troops would ignore it. Escort forces such as Viking fighters directly attacked the Hercules transport ship, which had no attack power, and drove away after destroying it. This extremely humiliating behavior angered the high-level generals of the Imperial Army, so it became imminent to equip the Hercules transport ship with weapons to fight back against the Zerg. Under the influence of high-level pressure, the engineers installed two Two 60mm Gatling cannons are used to deal with clusters of flying dragons wearing light armor.
2. Reinforced armor: After equipping the Hercules transport ship with anti-air weapons, in order to enhance its survivability on the battlefield, the imperial engineers ensured various indicators of flight speed, carrying capacity, ejection bay, and rapid deployment capability. More next-generation steel is arranged on the surface, so that the Hercules transport ship has a strong defense. Of course, the cost of this modification is that a higher-output reactor must be used to carry a heavier hull.
3. Command module: The modified Hercules transport ship is like a dazzling new star on the battlefield, releasing its light and heat, enabling the Empire to win several consecutive victories in the frontline battle against the Zerg. Then a modification report from the researchers under Horace Warfield was sent back to the military scientific research institute, asking them to install a command module inside the already renamed Zeus-class landing ship, so that this ship can not only perform transportation tasks, It can also be transformed into a steel fortress and battle command center. Facts have proved that adding a command module to the Zeus-class landing ship is an improvement with both strategic and tactical significance. Its existence greatly alleviated the many difficulties faced by the Imperial Army when opening up new battlefields, which also made the Zeus-class landing ship a hot upstart for the Imperial Army.
The Zeus-class landing ship costs 8,000 crystals and 5,000 gas, occupies a population of 5, and consumes much more resources than the Hercules transport ship. However, considering its overall combat effectiveness and the role it plays on the battlefield, it is logical that it is more expensive than the Hercules transport ship.
In terms of skills, the Zeus-class landing ship is similar to the Hercules transport ship. It has the active skill "loading" and the passive skill "rapid deployment". In addition, there is a unique ability "upgrade to a combat command center", which can be turned into a bunker. defensive buildings, and provide additional communication support and command bonuses, but must spend certain resources in the scientific research center to upgrade.
Because of the existence of the weapon system, the attack and defense research of human ships can also take effect on it.
The Hercules transport ship can be said to be the main transport ship under Tang Fang. It not only plays the role of a space shuttle used to transport a large number of people, but also serves as a support unit for ground warfare. It can quickly deploy multiple levels of Thor, siege tanks, etc. Large combat unit. Now that there is a Zeus-class landing ship, its significance of existence surpasses that of fanatics to fanatics. Whether it is in the field of space transportation or in the field of ground support, it will greatly enhance his military strength.
Finally, the Colonial Bomber.
If the Hercules transport ship is a tool used by the empire for short-distance transportation, then the colonial bomber is an indispensable long-range transport ship for interstellar colonization activities. They generally do not participate in front-line operations or relatively short-range personnel and cargo transportation. Colonial bombers, as large warships with specifications beyond battlecruisers, specialize in interstellar colonization activities, helping humans expand their field of activity, discover new planets and resources to support the progress of civilization. This kind of ship has complete living facilities and the space required to support life activities, enough to accommodate thousands of people for long-distance travel. The colony bomber also has a colonization module, which can help humans quickly deploy outposts on uninhabited planets.
The system shows that the Colonial Bomber has three major components.
1. Bombing module: The colonial bombing ship does not have combat capabilities in the early stage of construction. It is a large carrier ship integrating scientific research, life, and colonization. However, during the colonial activities of the empire, there will always be various troubles. Among them, the small swarms scattered on strange planets have become the biggest threat to the lives of the colonists. Therefore, the modules originally used for orbital airdrops have been modified to have orbital bombing functions in order to provide fire cover for human scientists and staff active on the planet. Of course, the bombing module can also be used to target air enemies, but its combat power is limited, and it cannot be used to deal with hordes of Zerg air forces like a battlecruiser.
2. Colonial module: Colonial bombers can not only carry out orbital bombing of designated areas and deploy corresponding staff in the airdrop cabin, but also have a more complete large-scale orbital airdrop capability, which is enough to provide ecological pavilions or outposts for human living and living The station is completely deployed to the surface of the planet to carry out tasks such as preliminary exploration, research, and construction of planet colonization. The establishment of each living star generally starts with the colonization module of the colony bomber.
Three, the living module: the colonial bomber does not carry a large number of combat equipment, nor does it need to carry military-grade reactors and large-scale maintenance arrays, and has enough internal space to build a living area. Even in the largest colonial bomber, you can see small towns that integrate daily necessities trading markets, entertainment and leisure facilities --- in fact, the colonial bomber is a well-deserved giant ship for mankind.
The system shows that the cost of the colonial bomber is 154,000 crystals, 82,000 gas, and occupies a population of 6. Overall, although it is larger in size, its resource consumption is lower than that of the Minotaur-class battlecruiser and the three-headed dog-class pirate capital ship. This may be because it lacks combat effectiveness compared to the three-headed dog-class pirate capital ship, and is purely a warship used for deep space exploration and interstellar colonization.
Skills are empty, neither active skills nor passive skills. It may be because this kind of ship deviates from the military system and is more inclined to civilian and scientific research fields, just like the engineering and transportation vehicles unlocked with Milo Kaczynski.
After browsing through the three newly unlocked units, Tang Fang couldn't help coming up with some plans and ideas. Battleships like the three-headed dog-class pirate capital ship are obviously not suitable for their own use. With the Seraph, the Arbiter, the Minotaur-class battlecruiser and the void glow ship, there is no need to summon the three-headed dog pirate main force ship. And with his current status, there is really no need to play the role of a pirate leader. If the Apollo Pirates have not been cleansed, they can give Byron a few ships. Now... it is completely unnecessary.
Although it is useless for him who lives in the Tiannest star area, this pirate-specific warship is very suitable for the old Marion who is fighting guerrilla warfare in the Star Alliance. We must know that the number of zero-element particle space effect fields is limited, and the strength of Garcia's rebel army will grow in the future, and it will become more and more difficult to hide their whereabouts. Besides, he has been in the Star Alliance for more than a year, and he has made a name for himself. Old Marion regards him as the future successor and new leader of the Garcia Rebel Army. But... He only contacted the old man a few times at most, and sent some available information through Alice's channel. Other than that, he didn't make any more contributions to the Garcia Rebel Army. wrong.
Recently, he became a citizen of the Star Alliance, was elected as an honorary advisor to the National Security Council, and helped the Star Alliance save people, even solved the embarrassment of the two uninhabited lands, and suppressed the Hydera Legion from invading the border of the Star Alliance. . Although Grant, Churchill and the others don’t say anything, they will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable... Even if they understand that doing so is to help the Garcia Rebels accumulate advantages from the side and consume the military power of the noble legion of the Monya Empire, but it makes sense , There will always be a little bit of unhappiness emotionally.
He, who is affectionately called the Eastern Messiah by the Garcia Rebels, should also express himself well. Perhaps the three-headed dog pirate battleship is a good gift. However, he also understands that now is not the time. He must wait until the system building can be visualized, or the upper limit of human units can be expanded before it is possible to send strategic materials to the Garcia Rebels, so that Marion and the others do not have to rely on others. The face of the Republic of Lankers acted.
He always remembered the Charles Federation special envoy Gabriel's disrespect for him and Marion when he was in Croatan, so he would not be close to him unconditionally just because the Charles Federation was a democratic country, and the betrayal of the Star Alliance government was even more serious. Gave him a slap in the face.
When his interests conflict with the interests of the country, people like Dalton Evelyn will eventually choose the latter, even if they feel guilty and have a disturbed conscience, but if they are given another chance, they will still do nothing. Two choices.
He did not agree with the decision of Dalton Evelyn and others, but admired their spirit. At least this group of people really cared about the country and the people, not like Lancelot, Mackintosh, Halifak Butchers like Sri Lanka are only responsible for power, and never consider the life, death and suffering of the people at the bottom. Ask them if they are living happily and if they have human dignity.
The Zeus-class landing ship can be regarded as a supplement to the medical transport plane and the Valkyrie frigate, and it has improved the air force system of the Terran. As for the colonial bomber, it is of no use to him for the time being, so he can let it go first.
Next, he continued to search for the second unlocking item as Emma said, moved the cursor to the functional building in the base, and finally found a golden yellow icon similar to the Mobis reactor in the lower right corner of the starport. The system displayed "Data synchronization has been completed." Finish."
This thing again? Count the buildings with golden icons... There are bunkers, ghost colleges, barracks, and starports. A total of 4 buildings have this option.
"I really hope that the data synchronization progress can be faster!" He sighed, then moved his attention from the system space to the real space, and suddenly found that nearly 16 hours had passed, and Emma had cracked the security system of the Hades-class aircraft carrier , transferring available data to the planetary command center.
If it wasn't for the system detection process sensing available data to wake him up, he might still be asleep now.
"Emma, how's it going, have you sorted out the detailed information about this aircraft carrier?"
"You woke up, Commander." Emma sent a document to the computer system of the harsh environment protective suit while speaking: "The information and information about the Hades-class aircraft carrier have been sorted out, waiting for your review."
Tang Fang nodded, said "OK", screened Emma back, patted his face to make his mind more clear, then clicked on the document, and began to read the battleship information compiled by Emma.
As the flagship of the Anubis Legion, the Hades-class aircraft carrier far surpasses the super-carriers of the sovereign states of the Hillenbel region in terms of attack power, defense power, maneuverability, and ship-carrying capability. It is not like the aircraft carriers of the Cloud Whale class, Floyd class, and God King class, which generally stay at the level of carrying fighter-type weapons and boat-type units. Instead, it can be used as a mothership of battleship-class weapons like the Angel. A total of 18 Hellbat-class destroyers, 54 Cerberus-class guided missile frigates, and a Moth-class aerospace fighter squadron and other unmanned aerial vehicles are available for deployment.
In terms of shipborne weapons, it has 36 small and medium-sized projectile weapons, 8 pulse laser cannons, 12 missile launch towers, plus two sets of heavy torpedo and deep space bomb launchers. Compared with the super aircraft carrier of a sovereign state, the Hades-class aircraft carrier can be said to be armed to the teeth, and can be deployed to the frontline battlefield as a capital ship for attacking fortifications.
In terms of defense, it is equipped with rhombic shields, but due to the limited output power of the zero element reactor, it is impossible to supply such a large ship for a long time to maintain a fully enclosed shield. Under normal circumstances, the shields of Hades-class aircraft carriers are in a semi-open state, similar to Cerberus It is the same as that of the Hades-class missile frigate, but there is a difference. In combat situations, the semi-open shield of the Hades-class aircraft carrier can respond to the information from the early warning computer and change the local structure. To put it simply, the Hades-class aircraft carrier is similar in size to a centipede and can be divided into 10 segments. The semi-enclosed shields covering the 10 sections of the hull can be connected together, or distributed sporadically, such as wrapping a certain section entirely, or appearing on the port side of the 5 sections in front, or the starboard side of the 5 sections in the rear.
It seems that the shield system of the Hades-class aircraft carrier uses this mode of operation because the output power of the zero element reactor is insufficient, and it cannot maintain a fully enclosed shield for a long time, but in Tang Fang's view, this shield works for the Hades-class aircraft carrier. Even better, it can reduce the burden on the reactor, respond to external attacks more flexibly, and reduce unnecessary loss. Second, the adjustable shield system between partitions can ensure the free entry and exit of carrier-based ships, even when the Hades-class aircraft carrier is suddenly attacked. It can also be put on the battlefield as soon as possible, and it can also provide cover and fast containment mechanism when retreating. (To be continued.)
