Chapter 150: Mountain-Class Battleship

During this period, in addition to the fifteen habitable ships, humans also built 10 new warships, 60 Callisto-class warships, 3 factory-type ships, 3 space carriers equipped with self-destructive drones, 5 captive Wolf biosphere ships, and 300 small frigates.

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

Warships like the Callisto ship have become second-class warships, and the new warships have replaced them as the main battleships.

This new warship is the pinnacle of human shipbuilding technology at this stage. It is 1,500 meters long, 800 meters wide, and 800 meters high. Its appearance is like a bullet that has been magnified countless times.

Of course, its hull is not streamlined like a bullet, but is filled with various close-in defense guns, nuclear missile launchers, and close-in defense laser guns. The head is not that sharp either, because there is a large positron gun in the middle of its front end.

The entire area of ​​the head that becomes smaller like a bullet head is the barrel and armor protection of the large positron cannon. A distance further inward is the location of the positron generator of the positron cannon. Outside this location are three inverted vector nuclear fusion engines.

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

In addition, these three fusion engines can still provide energy for the device that generates positrons for the positron cannon.

Similarly, there are vector fusion engines at the tail of the warship, but not three, but four, and they are larger. In terms of size, the nozzle of the tail fusion thruster is almost twice as large as the three at the head, which is understandable, after all, they are the main power of the warship.

When the warship makes posture adjustment actions such as starting, emergency stopping, turning, and changing direction, the seven vector thrusters in the front and back are all controlled by the shipboard computer.

The four thrusters operate at full power, which can accelerate and decelerate the warship at an acceleration of 150G, and its maximum acceleration is 30G higher than that of a habitable spacecraft.

The warship is fully loaded with 3,000 combat personnel, and this number is still under the condition of highly automated equipment. 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 main combat weapon of the warship is a large positron cannon, and the rest are equipped with blue laser weapons, gamma laser weapons, and various nuclear weapons, such as nuclear missiles, neutron missiles, subsonic torpedoes, hydrogen bombs, etc.

In addition to conventional electromagnetic wave communicators, there is also a neutrino communicator that should be mastered by a second-level civilization.

The armor adopts multi-layer suspension armor, and the inner cavity is reciprocatingly folded and sealed, which is commonly known as three layers inside and three layers outside.

This arrangement is mainly to prevent the hull from being penetrated by a kinetic weapon with extremely strong armor-piercing ability such as a large electromagnetic railgun, and it also has a strong defense capability against large positron cannons.

This level of new warship looks like a towering mountain. It is a real giant ship and a giant gun. Humans call it a mountain-class warship.

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

Why not combine 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 built, the new government also conducted many technical and military discussions on whether to build large ships or small ships.

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

Because in the process of argumentation, humans found that small ships could not carry positron guns at all. It was not that they could not build smaller positron guns, but because of the cosmic dust, the lethality of positron guns with too small caliber would be seriously reduced.

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

In the armor experiment, humans used the positron cannon on the Callisto ship to bombard the heavy armor of the Mountain-class battleship. The result showed that this caliber positron cannon could not penetrate the armor of the Mountain-class battleship with one shot, and could only blow up a pit at most.

In theory, the Callisto ship can be easily blown up by the secondary weapon of the Mountain-class battleship, that is, the gamma beam weapon, with one or two shots.

Of course, a large number of ants can kill an elephant.

However, in the simulated military simulation of the headquarters, the side using the Callisto-class battleship dispatched a full 100 Callisto-class battleships, and only successfully blew up a Mountain-class battleship after losing 80% of the battleships.

With such a ratio, humans will of course choose to build large battleships.

However, although it is a large battleship, the length of the Mountain-class battleship is actually much shorter than that of the living spacecraft, and the same is true for the space carrier.

This is due to the frequent high-G posture changes in the combat environment. In other words, it is to ensure flexibility, and it is also necessary to consider the structural strength redundancy, that is, human material technology does not allow it.

Living spacecraft and space carriers carrying self-destructing aircraft or other types of spacecraft do not require such high flexibility.

It took forty years for humans to pull themselves back from the brink of extinction and officially become a space-class civilization that looks like it is real.

After forty years, humans are ready to set off again.

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

So it is not advisable to stay here for a long time.

According to the original plan, humans will not stay here for more than 50 years. However, the plan is not a dead plan. During the implementation process, it needs to be slightly modified according to the human's own situation.

For example, now that the body enhancement technology has appeared, the new government has decided that after this Spring Festival, all people will complete the enhancement, and then adapt for another two years, and humans will embark on the star journey again.

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

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

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

This type of spaceship is not like a warship. 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 or five more in two years.

Moreover, mankind now has two mobile space docks.

Well. The reason why there are two mobile space docks is actually because of the flagship. Since mankind decided to use new materials to build the flagship, and that material is extremely difficult to process again, the construction time of the flagship was extended.

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