Voyage of the Stars

During this period, in addition to fifteen residential spaceships, humans also completed the construction of 10 new warships, 60 Callisto-level warships, 3 factory-type spaceships, and 3 space carriers equipped with self-exploding drones. , 5 captive Wolf biosphere spacecraft, and 300 small frigates.

Because of the variety of ship types and changes in warship tonnage, humans have positioned warships of different sizes differently.

Battleships like Callisto became secondary battleships, and new battleships took their place as capital ships.

This new type of warship is the pinnacle of mankind's current shipbuilding technology. It is 1,500 meters long, 800 meters wide, and 800 meters high. It looks like a bullet magnified countless times.

Of course, its hull will not be as streamlined as a bullet, but will be filled with various close-in defense guns, nuclear missile launchers, and close-in defense laser cannons. The head is also not that sharp, due to a large positron cannon in the middle of its front end.

The entire area where the head becomes smaller like a bullet is covered by the barrel and armor protection of the large positron cannon. Some distance further inward is the position of the positron generator of the positron cannon. Outside this position is Three upside-down vector fusion engines.

The angle between the three vector engines is 60 degrees. They are located at the neck of the battleship, and their vector spray angles are tilted at more than 60 degrees. It can be seen that these three vector engines can provide sudden braking power for the battleship, and can also be used as steering assistance to improve the agility of the battleship.

In addition, these three fusion engines can also power the device that generates positrons from the positron cannon.

Similarly, there are vector fusion engines at the rear of the battleship, but instead of three, there are four, and they are larger. In terms of size, the nozzles of the fusion thrusters at the tail are almost twice as large as the three at the head. This is understandable, after all, they are the main power source of the battleship.

When the warship makes attitude adjustments such as starting, emergency stopping, steering, and direction changes, the seven vector thrusters in the front, three and rear are all controlled by the shipboard computer.

The four thrusters operate at full power, allowing the battleship to accelerate and decelerate at an acceleration of 150 G. Its maximum acceleration is 30 G higher than that of a residential spacecraft.

The warship is fully loaded with 3,000 combatants. This number is still under the condition that various equipment are highly automated. It is conceivable that if you want to continue to reduce the number of people on board, you still need to continue to conduct in-depth research in the fields of combat AI and intellectual AI.

The warship's main combat weapon is a large positron cannon, and is also equipped with blue laser weapons, gamma laser weapons, and various nuclear weapons, such as nuclear missiles, neutron missiles, infrasonic torpedoes, hydrogen bombs, etc.

In addition to the conventional electromagnetic wave communicator, the communication equipment also has a neutrino communicator that should only be mastered by a second-level civilization.

The armor adopts multi-layer suspended armor, and the inner cavity is reciprocally folded and sealed, which is what the saying goes: three layers inside and three layers outside.

This arrangement is mainly to prevent the hull from being penetrated by kinetic energy weapons with extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities such as large electromagnetic rail guns. It also has strong defense capabilities against large positron cannons.

This new type of battleship looks like a towering mountain, a real giant ship with huge guns. Humans call it a mountain-class battleship.

There are two types of Yama-class battleships, one is equipped with a large positron cannon, and the other is equipped with a large electromagnetic rail gun. The former is an A-type ship, and the latter is a B-type ship.

Why not put both main guns on one ship? The reason is simple - the caliber is too small and the power is not strong enough.

In fact, when the warships were being built, the new government also conducted many technical and military discussions on whether to build large or small ships.

After many discussions and experimental verifications, humans finally chose to build a large ship.

Because during the demonstration process, humans discovered that small ships cannot carry positron cannons at all. It is not that they cannot build smaller positron cannons, but because of the cosmic dust, the lethality of positron cannons that are too small will be serious. reduce.

Large ships can carry more weapons and thicker armor, and because the nuclear fusion engine is powerful, the flexibility of large ships like the Yama class will not be reduced.

In armor experiments, humans used the positron cannon mounted on the Callisto ship to bombard the heavy armor of the Yama-class battleship. The results showed that this caliber of positron cannon could not penetrate the armor of the Yama-class battleship with one shot. It can blow up a hole.

In theory, the Callisto ship can easily be blasted by one or two cannons from the mountain-class battleship's secondary weapon, a gamma beam weapon.

Of course, too many ants can kill an elephant.

However, in the simulated military exercises of the headquarters, the party using the Callisto-class warships dispatched a hundred Callisto-class warships. After losing 80% of the warships, they successfully destroyed a Shan-class warship.

With such a ratio, humans naturally chose to build large warships.

However, although it is a large battleship, the length of the mountain-class battleship is actually much shorter than that of a residential spacecraft, and the same is true when compared with a space carrier.

This is due to the frequent high-G posture changes in combat environments. In other words, to ensure flexibility, it is also necessary to consider structural strength redundancy, which is not allowed by human materials and processes.

Residential spaceships, space carriers equipped with self-destructing aircraft, or other types of spacecraft do not have such high requirements for flexibility.

It took forty years for mankind to pull itself back from the brink of extinction and officially become a space-grade civilization that looked like that.

Forty years have passed, and mankind is ready to set off again.

Although humans have not detected signs of the silver mist so far, as the Galactic Center Alliance broadcast said, this star field is extremely dangerous, and humans are officially at the center of the danger.

Therefore, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

According to the original plan, humans would not be here for more than fifty years at most. However, the plan is not a dead plan. During the execution process, it needs to be slightly modified according to human conditions.

For example, now, after the emergence of body enhancement technology, the new government has decided to let all the people complete the enhancement after this Spring Festival, and then adapt to it for two years, and humans will once again embark on the road to stardom.

And during these two years, humans will not wait and do nothing.

The resources of the Wolf 1061 c planet’s biosphere must continue to be collected, the spacecraft must continue to be built, and various mineral resources must still be mined.

Strive to build one or two biosphere-type spacecraft and several mineral resource-carrying spacecraft within two years.

This type of spaceship is no better than a battleship. They are basically built in the style of residential spaceships and are highly modular. With the current industrial strength and population size of mankind, it is no problem to build four to five more ships within two years.

What's more, mankind now has two mobile space docks.

Hmm. The reason why there are two mobile space docks is actually the flagship. Because humans decided to use new materials to build the flagship, and that material was extremely difficult to process again, the construction time of the flagship was very long.

As a last resort, mankind had to build another space dock to build other spaceships and warships.
