Chapter 2676: Battleship Planning

For the new warships, Luo would often appear in Xiao Ran's study, holding a lot of blueprints to discuss with Xiao Ran the functions and direction that the new warships should have.

Once again, Luo came to Xiao Ran's study, but this time the people sitting in the study were no longer only Xiao Ran and Luo, Ma Liu, Jeffrey, Captain Iron, Tie Zai, etc., the best of the legion. Several captains also sat in Xiao Ran's study.

Luo stood in the middle of the office with his personal terminal, Xiao Ran sat behind his desk, and the others sat on the sofas in the study room. The huge study room did not look crowded after all these people were accommodated. .

Luo Zheng said to everyone: "I have communicated with Xiao Ran many times about the battleship, and I have considered your opinions when designing the battleship. The technical department also set up a special research team to record a lot of things. Captain's thoughts and opinions."

"Now it can be summed up in a few points. First, the speed should be fast and the flexibility should be high. Second, the firepower should be stronger. Third, it should have multiple functions. Fourth, the internal structure should be comfortable. Fifth, The ejection efficiency of the machine body should be increased, and the recovery speed should also be accelerated, the fifth is superior defense performance, the sixth is superior escape performance, the seventh is decisive armament, and some other ideas are not listed here.”

"But the points above are the ones that currently have the most consensus, and they are also Xiao Ran's request from the beginning and the direction that our technical department will definitely reach."

"But there are still problems that can't be solved. Xiao Ran said that a large-scale warship should be repaired. How big should this large-scale warship be? Of course, the bigger the more difficult, the speed and flexibility in the universe are the starting speed, propulsion power and energy utilization. The problem is that firepower is just a matter of carrying more weapons, a larger warship will definitely be able to carry more functions, and there will definitely be more comfortable space inside."

"The ejection recovery efficiency of the body will also be increased due to the increase in the size of the body. The defense can be handled with materials and energy defense. The escape performance is more troublesome. The difficulty of escaping from the center of the battleship will definitely become greater. But this can be arranged to set up corresponding escape pipes or even direct space teleportation.”

"It goes without saying that decisive armaments are needed. The only difference is which one to install. The larger the battleship, the larger the internal space will be at the square level. The size of the battleship has never been determined."

Xiao Ran shook his head, Luo had already talked to him several times about this, but Xiao Ran didn't know how big it should be. At first, Xiao Ran gave Luo Biao a size of 20 kilometers, and the capital ship would be 20,000 meters later. 20 kilometers doesn't seem like a lot, and it's not very long if you drive. Compared with the universe, it's a small thing, and there is no sense of existence at all, but after Luo heard it, he almost didn't get slapped on the face by Luo's terminal alone.

He also asked Xiao Ran how many people are needed for the 20-kilometer warship to operate normally. If you want to use the 20-kilometer-sized warship as a capital ship, are you going to empty out the entire army? Then Xiao Ran had no objection.

But Xiao Ran felt that twenty kilometers might not be enough, he could manufacture a warship the size of the Himalayas... Wait, how big is the Himalayas? Hahaha, it's not necessary, it's not necessary, it's no longer a warship but a real war fortress, although the war fortress can be carved into the shape of a battleship.

Luo didn't even look at Xiao Ran. Although Xiao Ran knew a little bit of technology, he was the one who gave the order after all. At the same time, his technical level was not enough for anyone in the technical department. This was the contempt of super technicians. It's not a big problem to order low-level goods, but if you want to get high-end goods, you will be blind, and the new type of warship is definitely something that must use top technology in all aspects.

Xiao Ran just sat without saying a word, drinking tea to relieve the embarrassment of being at the bottom of the food chain in an instant, with a serious look on his face.

The others present didn't understand, but Maliu understood Xiao Ran completely.

He pursed his lips and said to Luo: "Based on the size and scale of our warships, I think it should be no problem for the flagship to reach the 20-kilometer level. As for the number, we can discuss it slowly, but the battleship with 20 kilometers Then there is no need for this, it can be between 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters."

"This size is equivalent to the size of our previous battleship as a capital ship, and there is already a gap of more than ten times, but the 250-meter-class and 400-meter-class warships are not completely useless. In the future, as a team , the battleships used by the squadron, the gaps in the fleet formation can be filled, and many tasks can play a role."

Speaking of this, Maliu looked at the other captains present, and they all nodded in agreement with Maliu's opinion. Maliu also continued: "But think about it the other way around, it doesn't matter if it's 20 kilometers or 400 meters. , if our technology can achieve at least half the breadth of the earth even with a 400-meter-level attack, and the main cannon can only directly destroy a planet or even spread the wave of attack to the breadth of the entire planet, then we actually There is no need to pursue the size of the battleship."

"The size brings more deterrence to the enemy, but the attack surface we bear also becomes larger."

Everyone nodded again, Xiao Ran looked at Luo and asked, "Can it be done?"

Luo looked at Xiao Ran with a dark face: "No, at least the main gun can't do it."

Xiao Ran comforted: "It's okay, I can do it in the future, I believe in the strength of the technical department."

"Damn it!?" Luo's eyes widened a little, why did he feel that after he disappeared for a day and returned to his own world, he became so mischievous when he came back?

The main cannon is not special equipment. The main cannon that Maru said is not of the Macross class. Even a cannon can't destroy a planet with one shot. The main cannon that Maru said is a warship capable of rapid firing Arming is the main artillery of the battleship in the space battle, not the main artillery. The effect that the Legion needs to achieve now is that you have to fire a wave within a few seconds at least. Then it cools down for tens of seconds, and it takes a few minutes to shoot. It is not the main gun, but a secret weapon.

Seeing the suspicion in Li Ran's eyes, Luo took a deep breath and ignored Li Ran's question: "The flagship is 20 kilometers in size and can be used as an aircraft carrier. Is it necessary to build an aircraft carrier?"

Xiao Ran thought for a while: "In addition to the flagship, sometimes there is also a need for temporary bases and strongholds, and maintenance needs in the universe during the battle. The role of the aircraft carrier is still there, and it must be matched. The number is not large. Four, if the size is at least able to dock with the flagship of 20 kilometers in size, no matter how you say it, you have to double it, if you don’t pursue attack, then pursue absolute defense, which is very good.”

"And even if the super-large space fortress is produced, it will not be used at any time. Compared with the use of aircraft carriers, it may be used more. It is also very useful as a deterrent."

Luo nodded and said to everyone: "The size of the battleship is determined in this way. The flagship is 20 kilometers, the capital ship is 5 to 10 kilometers, the aircraft carrier is 30 to 40 kilometers, and then the defense ship. My idea is to use The umbrella supports a huge defensive barrier, its main purpose is limited to defense, the diameter of the umbrella surface can be about ten kilometers, but after the defensive barrier is turned on, the defense width must be at least 20 times more, and multiple defense ships can be linked at the same time."

"Did you get the inspiration from the Dimensional Beast during the last mission?" Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Yes."

"Teleportation ship." Luo patted his personal terminal, and a brand new warship appeared in the eyes of everyone present in the form of virtual projection.

Luo didn't give a shit, but directly explained to everyone: "This is a new warship launched by a department under the technical department. It can range from an ultra-small 20 meters to 400 meters. It is a completely unmanned ship. As the name suggests, it can teleport The role of the ship is only one, and that is teleportation."

"The same space teleportation technology is used, but the technology has been slightly modified, and then the portal is built on this teleportation ship. As long as a warship arrives at the destination, the entire army can be sent there at the fastest speed. It can be used both offensively and defensively.”

"A teleportation ship with a size of 20 meters is enough for Yinglong God to teleport back and forth, and a ship with a size of more than 400 meters can teleport a ship with a size of about 5,000 meters."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately thought of the key role that this kind of teleportation ship can play in combat. Space delivery is available and very useful, but it is not practical for the entire fleet to only teleport for a single unit. Gao, it is indeed very useful for a super pilot like Xiao Ran, but this kind of teleportation ship can be used by everyone.

Moreover, quite a variety of special tactics can be extended, and Xiao Ran also said directly: "First come a batch."

"There are also gunboats, the main attacking battleships are designed with zero or less equipment. They are mobile cannons. The fleet has the strongest firepower in frontal attacks. The type of cannons to be carried can be determined. The power of kilometer-level cannons It shouldn't be too small, but if you want to use it, you have to build a batch of frigates. Unlike capital ships and defensive ships, frigates need faster speed flexibility, precise strike capabilities, and strong defense force."

Xiao Ran raised his hand: "Up to now, the flagship, aircraft carrier, capital ship, defense ship, teleportation ship, gunboat and frigate have been confirmed. As for the others, do you have anything to add?"

Jeffrey said: "I think it is possible to add a special warship, no, it should be a special MA."

Everyone's eyes were on Jeffrey, and Jeffrey said: "This kind of warship is not aimed at anyone, but it also needs to be able to deal with all problems, and it is not for special use by any army, but for pilots who can fight on the front line. The special MA that provides assistance and assistance requires a certain amount of loading space inside and corresponding armaments. It also needs to be equipped with a solar furnace. It can send tactical armor in a targeted manner, replenish ammunition in a targeted manner, assist the pilot to launch an attack, and open the barrier to protect the pilot. And the unmanned MA that recovers the broken body, but the most important thing is that these MA must be double-layered armor, the inner layer can be normal armor, but the outer layer must be GN dragoons.”

Following Jeffrey's words, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Ran, and Jeffrey continued: "Everyone has clearly felt the significance that Lord Xiao Ran can play in group battles in the previous battle with the Dimensional Beast. But why don't we continue to amplify this meaning, this is our advantage and Master Xiao Ran's advantage."

"Master Xiao Ran can use these special MAs to link the entire fleet, assist defense and attack, and resist the enemy's approach to the fleet, making the front and rear of the battle completely integrated."

Xiao Ran nodded lightly: "Jeffrey is right, Luo, this kind of MA is indeed necessary."

Luo looked at Xiao Ran, nodded slowly: "En."

Maru frowned slightly: "But this way you will be under a lot of pressure, and the consumption after entering quantum assimilation will not be small."

Xiao Ran waved his hand: "It's okay, but if this combat mode can be fixed, we can first see how effective it can be. If the effect is good, then we really need to train a few reformers. Build a new team, just remotely control this kind of MA on the flagship, and find a way to solve it when you come up with an idea, if necessary, I will intervene and control it, it’s not a big problem.”

Luo pondered and looked at Xiao Ran: "It is possible to build such a team specially. If this system can be effective, other troops are also needed. Specially manufacturing super AI can also play a big role, and psychokinesis can also Share the pressure, but Xiao Ran, if it is you personally, there are other ways to help you alleviate this problem."

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows: "Say it."

"Something you brought back." Luo said: "It can completely replace you to control these MAs, and you only need to be responsible for the GN particles."

Xiao Ran frowned slightly, and said: "Pixies with super powers? No, pixies must never set foot on the battlefield. If you say that, I really caught a super pixie before, with excellent mind power."

Luo scratched his hair, and said straightly: "The Holy Grail of Heaven, I have read the information of the Holy Grail of Heaven, and if given the authority, it is completely capable of controlling the system under all authority, and these things are not necessary for the Holy Grail of Heaven. It’s just a basic calculation, and at most, I’m going to add a super AI to assist her, and then match it with the best computer to assist in the calculation.”

Xiao Ran suddenly realized that he almost forgot about the Holy Grail of Heaven. The Holy Grail of Heaven is indeed very special, having one is like having three wives, but he probably doesn't know much about the Holy Grail of Heaven. There are many here.
