Chapter 249 Battleship Upgrade

Just as the development of the New Human Federation was in full swing, Li Mingze switched his consciousness back to the starting star of the empire.

Now the development of the ring world has entered a stable period, and more than 20 billion people have been transferred to the ring world.

More than 100 battleships, 200 cruisers and 20 drone motherships are under construction in the empire's docks. As long as six months are up, the empire's fleet will be expanded several times again.

In addition to the use of new mass acceleration cannons, these redesigned and optimized battleships are also equipped with new biological armor on the outer armor. The material of this biological armor is similar to the planetary shield of the earth and the new home star.

The biological armor is directly hatched from the specially modified alien eggs and formed in one go! The energy absorption gene newly swallowed by the red dot is also added to the alien eggs.

This layer of biological armor can not only repair itself when there is sufficient energy, but also absorb 60% of the kinetic energy and 90% of the energy attack.

As long as the energy carried by these attacks does not exceed the upper limit of this layer of biological armor, then this layer of biological armor will convert the absorbed energy into heat energy and light energy.

Based on this feature, the Empire also installed a thermal insulation layer and a heat absorption device between the biological armor and the normal armor. The absorbed heat energy will be converted into energy to provide to the shield that has been shattered at this time.

In this way, as long as the energy level is not too strong or too intensive, the Empire's warships can maintain a longer combat time.

In addition, because in the "Fantasy" game, the drone mothership was shot down before approaching the enemy ship because the drone's flight speed was too slow, resulting in an embarrassing situation where the role of a drone mothership was not as great as that of a cruiser.

After receiving the report, Li Mingze immediately summoned all the scientists who studied ships to make a major revision of the drone mothership.

In addition to integrating the torpedoes originally carried by the drone into the reactor of the drone, making the drone a one-time suicide kamikaze, the Empire's ship research department also improved the launch device of the drone mothership.

After hollowing out the middle of the drone mothership, the Empire stuffed a super-powerful mass acceleration cannon into it.

This mass acceleration cannon uses eight barrels tied together, which can make each barrel accumulate energy while the others are firing, and finally fire continuously like the Gatling gun on Earth.

The shells of this super mass acceleration Gatling gun are not shells in the normal sense, but modified kamikaze drones!

The drones that maintain an elliptical shape when not deformed are not only easy to carry, but can also be stuffed into the barrel and fired at a speed of 0.03% of the speed of light, reducing the effect of the opponent's interception weapons to the extreme.

When the drones approach the opponent's fleet, they will deform and expand the jet and beam cannon outward.

It can be imagined that dense drones are fired into the enemy's fleet like shells. These drones are also suicide drones carrying large-yield torpedoes. They can not only attack warships, but also be more flexible and can also serve as fighters.

If the weapons of the warships attack these disgusting drones in the fleet, it is easy to cause the drones to accidentally damage their own warships instead of hitting them. Such insidious tactics will definitely make the opponent's commander scratch his head!

In addition, the Empire is developing a special weapon for the special characteristics of the Corruptors. This weapon is called the Cannonball Storm, which is inspired by the rotating mass accelerator on the drone mothership.

This new weapon will be equipped on the Empire's new destroyers, because the characteristics of the Corruptors make the range of the weapon particularly important, and the destroyer has become an embarrassing existence due to the size limit of the warship.

The cost-effective warship that originally used its speed and flexibility to quickly cut into the enemy's formation is now useless.

The destroyer now only takes 20 days to build, which is undoubtedly the best choice for emergency troops, but because of the range, it has become a chicken rib, so the Empire has developed a disposable super weapon Cannonball Storm for this situation.

The shape of the Cannonball Storm is a huge rectangle, similar to the rocket launcher in the Earth period.

The energy stored in each barrel is used to fire the shells lined up in a barrel one after another.

Because a Cannonball Storm has up to 64 barrels, the rate of fire of this weapon is faster than that of the Gatling accelerator.

By firing and charging in sequence, countless shells are projected at once to bombard the Corruptor's warships, making the enemy's warships unable to withstand so much kinetic energy and being torn apart.

Because of the huge size of this weapon, the entire transport ship needs to hollow out half of the hull, and then stuff the shell storm into the hull. Even so, a destroyer can only fit three guns.

When it is time to launch, the destroyer needs to lower its bow and aim the shell storm on the back of the destroyer at the enemy.

The power of this weapon is unparalleled according to Tianyi's calculations, but it has one biggest drawback, that is, if the three acceleration guns carried by a destroyer are fired together to form a firepower network, it only takes ten seconds to fire all the shells.

After the shells are fired, these destroyers will have no power to fight back except for some close-in defense guns, because the manufacturing and reloading time of this kind of shells is as high as three hours.

However, in order to deal with this situation where they become scrap after being fired, the Empire specially modified a large number of transport ships and turned them into ammunition supply ships.

When the destroyer's shells are exhausted, the ammunition supply ship waiting behind the fleet will come forward to dismantle the entire Shell Storm, and then install the fully charged Shell Storm.

The whole process does not exceed thirty minutes, and the attack can be started directly after the new Shell Storm is installed.

When the new destroyer design is completed, this new arsenal destroyer will begin to be built, and the first batch of construction will reach 1,000 ships.

Li Mingze can imagine the spectacular scene of a thousand destroyers firing "10,000 guns" at the same time, and let the corruptors try it out at that time.

…………………………Demarcation line…………………………

At the same time, in a galaxy hundreds of light years away from the empire, Eva's fleet has reached out to a moon-sized planet.

This planet has now been hollowed out by Eva, and the original planetary ground has been replaced by a layer of metal plates, and a large number of solar energy devices have been installed on the ground.

There is an extremely huge pit on the equator of the planet, which is the port of this transformed planet.
