Spore Story

Chapter 881

==========
"Why can't we take the initiative... That's really good, as expected of Elder Kong Huan."

"According to the adjustment, the airport will ascend to an orbital altitude of 1300 kilometers, so that the energy consumption required to maintain the altitude will be greatly reduced, and our persistent combat capability can be increased by at least 20%. This action will be carried out in two It will be completed in an hour. And half an hour ago, the 6 defense satellites attached to the airport have been launched into the standard orbit, and they will meet with us after our airport arrives at the designated location to form a small-scale satellite group and recombine our airport. defense system."

"very good!"

As the home port of the First Fleet, its appearance is similar to that of a space factory. It looks like a honeycomb composed of several hexagonal long cylinders. Outside is a circle of artificial microgravity areas and an open port area.

It’s just slightly different from the space factory, except that the hexagon in the middle is also a large dock, and the six hexagonal columns on the outer circle of the airport are airport modules with different functions, not the space factory. Same dock.These modules provide sufficient food, war resource reserves, and living areas for the friend clan space fleet, satisfying the purpose of the friend race space fleet staying in space for a long time.

In order to ensure the self-protection goal of the airport after the planetary protection disappears in the future, in addition to the first space fleet stationed by itself, the airport also has six defense satellites orbiting under the action of gravitational induction devices.

The emergence of this defensive satellite is the product of the Zerg's high-orbit bombing, and it is a space version researched with reference to the floating island defense turret in the atmospheric period.This kind of defense satellite is now equipped with all four space factory-level celestial bodies of the Friends (three factories + one space).

Each defensive satellite has two 305mm electromagnetic guns and 12 20mm rapid-fire guns, and carries enough ammunition to last three hours of battle and energy to last a month, which can be replenished instantly from the main body of the factory.

The cost, resources, and personnel requirements of these defense satellites are much lower than those of warships with the same firepower, but the defense is much higher. The factory defense structure composed of six can basically meet the defense needs of the factory.

Even when necessary, these remote-controlled satellites can also block bullets for space factories.

At the same time, a squadron of nine space fighters is equipped inside the factory, which can be used as a short-range mobile defense.

Therefore, in the eyes of the friends, the four space factory-level celestial bodies of their own side should have been ascended to the space outside the protection of the system long ago. This is not only the pride of the friends, but also a sign that the friends are no longer oppressed.But they have always been suppressed by the elders' house on the grounds of ensuring safety. Until this moment, the empty elders finally fulfilled their wishes, so how could they not make people feel happy?
"Where is the fleet? Where are those meteorites?" Atu, the base commander who stayed in the airport, leisurely held a straw in his mouth, while replenishing the lost water in his body, while looking at the positions of both sides on the electronic screen.

Although he can understand the professional pictures, sometimes it's not fun to ask his subordinates to say it.

The adjutant at the side was clearly aware of his boss's temper, and without blinking, he reported the data he saw from the electronic map one by one.

But to be honest, the adjutant feels that the airport is worthy of being the product of the most advanced technology of the Pengzu. Even the clarity of the display screen is much higher than the display screens used by the Pengzu on the ground, which now look like a collection of luminous points.

However, what he doesn't know is that due to the conflict between Pengzu's own electronic technology and imaging technology and the artificial brain and mental power technology, if it wasn't for the unbearable display screen that he found when he visited a certain command center, Therefore, after directly obtaining the corresponding low-end technology from Shenshi, they spent a few days to improve it personally. I am afraid that their current display screens in the base are not much better than those on the ground.

Of course, this is off topic.

"The speed of the meteorite is very fast. Although it was sent directly from the Zerg nest, it has to fly a distance of 10,000+ kilometers. But it has been so long now, so it is estimated that the other party will enter the airport in six hours at most The best attack range is 60 kilometers."

"As for the space fleet, the 7 star-class ships of the main fleet are all outside the airport, taking off with the airport. The previous 21 Freedom-class defense ships have already accompanied the defense satellites and are in place at the same time as the defense satellites. As for the 3 Harbor-class ships Among the comprehensive supply ships, except for one that stays inside the central dock of the airport, the other two are in the process of replenishing and repairing the space factory and are rushing here."

……

"Based on the data of the first low-orbit campaign, the improvements we made to the free class have not been tested in actual combat, but they performed very well in the fantasy world simulation."

In a warship tactical research institute affiliated to the space center, Kong Huan is also listening to reports from his subordinates, but these reports are more about the technical equipment information of the troops.

At this time, on the thick screen with high-definition resolution, what is projected is the basic equipment of the current main force of the friends, the freedom-modified defense ship converted from the freedom-class battleship.

“除了参考浮空舰队，在其舰首装备了一门改进后提升到3公里射程的2000N雷霆炮外，舰身武器已经改成了两座四门105mm电磁轨道炮和6门单管20mm速射炮。”

"How is the performance in battle? Especially for those Zerg tentacle monsters," Kong Huan likes to look at the data, but he doesn't just rely on the data, he still wants to have actual effects as a reference.

"Very good," the reporting officer called out the test video of these weapons with a smile on his face: "If you reduce the size, after canceling the SS-3 machine gun with a weaker attack power and replacing it with a 20mm rapid-fire gun, the rate of fire will increase. While reaching 700 rounds per minute, not only did it not weaken the barrage attack power, but it also gave these secondary guns the ability to kill large Zergs like tentacle monsters."

"At the same time, the main gun 105mm electromagnetic rail gun has the ability to deal with a tentacle monster with three rounds."

Watching the situation in the video where a main gun salvo can kill a tentacle monster without delay, Kong Huan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, but now it's not the free class that decides."

With that said, he turned his attention to the models of several other warships.

"Indeed," the officer smiled, but his face was a little stiff. It seems that he was obviously one of the designers of the free class back then. Then it will be replaced by a more mature second generation in a few months, and the Freedom Class obviously has not escaped such a fate. Such a situation has made many first-generation weapon designers sigh.

Of course, more is still proud.

"The existing capital ships of our space fleet have become meteor stars. To be honest, if the Freedom Class hadn't immediately refined its functions and become purely defensive to make up for the lack of meteor stars, they might have been completely eliminated. "

Why do you say that?
Because the technology of the meteor star is not only more mature than that of the free class, but the combat concept is completely different, and it is also equipped with a new generation of weapons from the friends - the plasma cannon.

"As the name suggests, the star bombardment ship is used as an artillery weapon. After the free class made up for the combat function of the fleet's barrage attack, we designed a brand new star bomber ship. Its quality reaches the 7011 tons, 177 meters long, 32 meters in conventional diameter, equipped with two semi-buried bridges, main and auxiliary."

"In terms of weapons, we cancel all the complicated weapon systems, and only equip them with a single-shot 100N plasma cannon (here N is the electro-nuclear energy unit of the Pengzu), a total of 10 guns, with an effective range of 20 kilometers (plasma cannon) The ball will be weakened during the flight), although the attack speed is slightly slower than the electromagnetic weapon, but it is still impressive. At the same time, the power of each plasma ball is no less than that of the Zerg tentacle monster's plasma ball within the effective distance."

Speaking of this, the officer added with a smile: "In fact, this plasma technology is still inspired by the Zerg, but using the enemy's technology to kill the enemy is the most exciting thing."

"Indeed," Kong Huan smiled.

"However, this weapon is a brand-new design after all." The officer seemed to smack his lips in dissatisfaction: "The attack speed of each plasma cannon can only reach 3 rounds per minute, which is mainly limited by the material of the cannon body. However Now the material technology department is tackling key problems, and I hope to have a higher breakthrough."

"In addition, considering that after canceling the previously designed weapons such as Thunder Cannon and Rapid Fire Cannon, although there is Freedom-level defense, the battleship itself cannot be without protection measures. Therefore, we installed it, according to the explosion of Thunder Cannon and Magnetic Field Engine. The 500N all-round thunder close-in defense system designed for this effect can create a short-term thunder storm within a radius of 50 meters to 1 kilometer of the warship to detonate similar unstable ammunition attacks by Zerg."

"As a new generation of design, we have also installed the magnetic deflection shield you proposed for the Meteor Star, which can generate a magnetic deflection area with a radius of 500 meters between the battleship's attack interval, protecting the battleship from entities and energy. Weapon damage."

"Well, it's pretty good."

As a matter of fact, both the officer and the empty fantasy deliberately did not mention one thing, that is, a defect that was not noticed during the design of the magnetic deflection shield and was only discovered during the mock battle test: the magnetic deflection shield effectively deflects the enemy While attacking, it will also deflect its own attack regardless of whether it is enemy or friend.This situation made the designers very embarrassed, but there was no reason to give up such an effective defense capability, so in the end, the soldiers could only temporarily turn on the shield when they were marching in the attack interval and in the meteorite area.

It is precisely because of this that Pengzu improved and designed the 500N all-round Thunder close-in defense system with the Thunder Cannon as a supplement to wartime defense.

But here is the face issue of both parties, and neither of them tacitly raised it.

"And this ship also adheres to our family's high automation goal (actually because there are too few people), and the entire star-level combat situation only requires 62 crew members, which greatly reduces the pressure on technical personnel..."

Finally, the officer who finished talking about the star data, turned around and saw that Kong Huan had already set his sights on those auxiliary warships. Although it was a bit embarrassing, he would not let go of this great opportunity to show his face in front of the elders, so he will explain immediately The target was cast on these subsidiary warships.

"Due to the emergence of the slogan of standardized and functional army building, our army's space force will of course not stay out of it. In addition to the Harbor-class comprehensive supply ship, the Panshi-class landing ship we designed is precisely considering the future landing on Baiyue and Blue Moon. Manufactured in advance of the month."

"The unloaded mass of the Panshi-class landing ship is 571 tons, but it can reach 1221 tons when fully loaded, so it is classified as a 'ship'. In combat situations, it can deliver a single soldier to the ground, or assault it The brood in the Zerg space came up and released the troops..."

Pengzu currently has a configuration of 40 soldiers with heavy armor, each of whom is equipped with seventh-generation armor.

In addition, this cliff is also equipped with 12 steel wheel semi-suspended all-terrain assault vehicles, and commanded an additional 40 mechanical soldiers.In this way, a 40-man new type of armored cliff is three times more powerful than a 100-man armored cliff in the previous era of ground combat clusters, even reaching the standard of an armored gorge.And because there are fewer people, the command is more flexible.

This increase in combat power and reduction in personnel requirements is very effective for troops like the Friends who have changed from the original "elite soldiers" to the "elite soldiers + mechanical soldiers" route.

"But no matter how you look at it, the Gashan-class battleship is more powerful," Kong Huan sighed.

"Of course," the officer puffed out his chest proudly.
