Chapter 75 Building the Black Hawk Class Frigate
Forty minutes later, the base's defense cover was penetrated by concentrated fire.
The defenders, once again exposed to the gunfire, held on for less than a quarter of an hour before abandoning their base and retreating.
Li Qing said nothing, and Li Yuan immediately led his fleet to catch up.
Advance, retreat, advance again, retreat again, advance again, constant pursuit, the battlefield stretching for tens of millions of kilometers is full of wreckage of warships.
When the last enemy battleship was sunk, everyone cheered in the channel, and a large number of frigates came forward to clean the battlefield.
In the channel, Wang Yanqing raised his crotch and pointed:
"I'm convinced."
"No one can do anything to you until you are surrounded by ten times more troops and your space for activities is suppressed. You are too strong."
Li Qing smiled slightly.
In just two battles, one was a head-on battle and the other was a kite tactic, the ability of Servant of Light Li Yuan had completely conquered them.
Although Ding Youran, Yan Chengping, Yan Yan and others did not speak, their expressions were the same as Wang Yanqing's, they were all convinced.
Especially Ding Youran, this tall beauty seemed to look at her a little differently than usual.
After cleaning the battlefield all the way, nearly forty battleships exploded with two battleship blueprints, but there were eleven particle light spear blueprints, and more than thirty other large and small battleship blueprints.
As before, the spoils of war were for the time being kept by him.
Then he returned to the mining base and found that there were more than a hundred frigates gathered around, probably the transferred mine protection patrol fleet.
With a wave of crushing, the entire mining base was blown up, and countless wreckage and exploded mineral balls floated in the void.
This mining base is extremely large, with hundreds of huge mineral balls stored in it. They are the same as the mineral balls in the wild monster mining base, but the specifications are more than ten times larger.
Use the Palm Universe to collect all these mineral balls. The opened entrance is just above the material conversion furnace in the Forge of Light. After the mineral balls are collected into the Palm Universe, they appear directly above the Light Forge and fall directly into the furnace like a black hole. .
After the transformation in the material transformation furnace, standard cube blocks of high-purity steel with a length, width and height of one hundred meters were extracted.
The super material conversion furnace refines all other impurities into energy, and what is left is high-purity refined ore. After refining, all the messy associated ores are converted into steel.
Although steel is not the most valuable metal, it is the metal with the highest demand. The main material among the alloys with the highest demand for building warships is steel.
Moreover, the value of high-purity steel is not low. Some of the various greystones and limestones in various troughs are refined into energy to power the Light Forging Furnace, and the other part is converted into steel. Although the output is relatively small, but It is self-sufficient and does not require additional energy to operate the material conversion furnace.
He strictly follows the composition of the standard alloy and converts it. Every time he converts a part of steel, he will convert a part of other metal elements required by the standard alloy formula. Once a certain amount is collected, these metals and other elements will be synthesized into a standard alloy, and then transferred to the warehouse. They were saved in the area and used as materials for building warships.
A warship requires more than just alloys, but also other metal materials. In some places, some rare materials are also needed. These light casting furnaces can be freely transformed, but the output is not much and the energy consumption is too high.
But these are minor issues, and the efficiency and convenience more than offset the expense.
There are more than 400 ore balls, each of which is about 10 million square meters. After refining, only about 100,000 square meters are left. After deducting part of the refining energy consumption, only 14 million square steel ingots are left after all refining. The total value is about Around 16 billion.
In addition, after staying here for about two days, Li Lie, Li Qi and other members went out and grabbed a bunch of mining transport ships, and collected about 7 billion steel ingots.
It’s not a bad harvest, and it’s just the beginning.
In the following days, they wandered around this star field, specifically looking for some large and small mining bases of the Sand Tower Civilization. They ate what they could and left if they couldn't. With their super fast speed, no fleet could catch up. Get on them.
With the Servant of Light under his command, Li Qing didn't have to keep an eye on the fleet, he just became a hands-off shopkeeper and entered the palm universe.
The shipyard is still operating, and the battleship blueprints from the previous camp have not been used up.
However, according to the current efficiency, it will be used up in a short time.
It has only been about a month since it went to sea, and another 200 frigates and ten destroyers have been stationed, but only a small part of them are equipped with weapons and accessories to go into battle.
Li Qing went to the research institute first. The newly enlightened servant of light was still eager to learn new knowledge and had not yet started studying the mother chip.
However, the dozens of newly learned skills have all been upgraded to LV5 or above. The speed is amazing. It is estimated that it will be upgraded to LV10 or above in less than half a year, and we can start studying the mother chip.
The new Servant of Light quota still followed the previous plan, and a physics scientist was enlightened.
It’s the physics scientist I recruited before, named Chu Yichuan. This physicist is not as crazy as the one in engineering. He is a very ordinary physicist with a green reputation. It turns out that his theoretical skills in physics science are only LV7. After enlightenment, Instantly increased LV20, and this person is not the engineering part-timer, he knows all the relevant skills, and can be put to use after being enlightened.
The task Li Qing gave him was to analyze the frigate mother chip with Chu Hanqiu and understand the technology inside it.
The design and architecture of the frigate is mainly engineering, but it still has some correlation with physics.
The four major categories of physics are theoretical physics, force field manipulation, particle physics, and computing technology.
Among them, theoretical physics should be ignored for the time being. According to the technology currently mastered by mankind, it is difficult for theoretical physics to make much progress at this stage.
The remaining force fields, particles, and computing technologies are directly related to other accessories of the battleship. Various physics-related weapons and accessories, as well as the basic accessories of the battleship, all need to rely on the battleship. Designing a unique frigate requires engineering. Combined with physics.
After arranging the matters here, Li Qing returned to the shipyard and obtained a blueprint for manufacturing an outstanding Black Hawk frigate. Next, he planned to build these six outstanding Black Hawk-class frigates.
During this period, I occasionally ventured into the Palm Universe to build a ship. I have upgraded my shipbuilding skills from LV9 to LV10, and I am now qualified to build a Black Hawk-class frigate.
Even though there are already battleships, the Black Hawk-class frigate still plays a pivotal role in the strategy.
First of all, its basic hull armor and shield are extremely strong, with 2,000 points each. In addition, its basic speed is as high as 150,000 kilometers per hour, which is faster than a destroyer. In addition, both the weapon slots and the general slots are far higher than Ordinary frigates are much higher. Taken together, the combat effectiveness of an excellent Black Hawk-class frigate is close to that of a standard destroyer.
Well, it's just close. Even with the same equipment, the destroyer is still stronger.
After all, the hull armor shield is higher and the weapon slots are more, so the overall strength must be stronger.
No matter how powerful a frigate is, it is still a frigate. Unless it is equipped with weapons and equipment of six generations or above, it is impossible to defeat a destroyer under the same circumstances.
Not in terms of combat effectiveness, the strategic role of frigates is naturally not to be used on the battlefield, but to have the strongest combat effectiveness while possessing the highest speed and flexibility, and is best at performing some tasks that are not suitable for large fleets.
For example, you can flexibly sneak into the hinterland of enemy-occupied areas.
It is difficult for a large fleet to sneak into the interior of the Sand Tower civilization step by step. It is not strict here. When it enters the interior of the southern province of the Sand Tower civilization and is about to approach its capital or other important galaxies, there will be fleets stationed in the wormholes of each galaxy. At that time, the large fleet could only attack head-on.
In a gate-blocking battle, even the Servants of Light can't avoid losses, especially if the gate-blocking fleet is strong enough, they won't even be able to attack.
The bet is tight near the wormhole. Once you jump in, all kinds of halo cannons will attack your face. The first few waves can only be endured. When the enemy's firepower is strong enough, hundreds of battleships focus their fire. Even the battleships can only suffer. Exploded at the door.
But if you switch to a flexible frigate, a few Black Hawks hide in the frigate group and rush out of the wormhole. Small targets can be accelerated at super fast speeds. As long as they are not unlucky enough to be caught in the fire in the first wave, they can rely on the psychic teleportation given by the psychic saint. The ability to jump directly out of the encirclement, that is, the sea is wide for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly.
Hide the fleet in the universe in the palm of your hand, and use this method to easily travel through galaxies alone until you enter the depths of the Sand Tower civilization.
Yes, even though he had withdrawn, the Crimson Team's plan was so crazy but so tempting that he still couldn't forget it.
After a few Black Hawk frigates were completed, he planned to go over and see if they could do it.
If you can't do it, forget it. Look for opportunities to plunder and leave.
If it can be done, then sorry, he also wants to get in and take a look to see if he can fish in troubled waters.
It's one thing to catch more and less, but the main thing is to see what the southern capital of the Shatta Tribe United Civilization looks like.
The blueprint of the Black Hawk frigate is not much different from that of the frigate. Compared with the 120-meter length of the Haiyan frigate, the Black Hawk frigate is 180 meters long and takes 90 days to build. In his case, it only took 20 days.
The standard Petrel frigate with bare hull costs 20 million, the elite Raptor-class frigate with bare hull can be sold for 30 million, and the outstanding Black Hawk frigate with bare hull usually costs around 50 million, and can be sold at least 70 million at the outpost. Rare things are more expensive.
Directly using the Forge of Light to convert all necessary materials, the total cost is only about 50%, about 25 million. If sold to the outpost for 70 million, it can earn 45 million.
Too bad there aren't enough blueprints.
"We have to wait a little longer."
Once the team of scientists is in place and has thoroughly analyzed the mother chip, we can start upgrading it. Compared with condensing the frigate mother chip by ourselves, it is not only many times faster, but also saves a lot of prerequisites.
Why did he pay such a high price to buy this mother chip even if he owed 1.5 trillion star yuan? The main reason is that with this mother chip, as long as he has a strong enough team of scientists, he can start research immediately.
If you want to rely on your own team of scientists to condense the mother chip, the first prerequisite is to capture a living planet and then immigrate to develop a sufficient population.
Why do this?
To condense the crystallization of civilization from scratch, in addition to scientists, we also need to be civilized.
Civilization points do not come out of thin air, but require enough people to gather them, and people must be born on a living planet to gather civilization points.
Of course, it can also be used to seize civilization points from aliens, but there are not so many civilization points for him to plunder. Of course, it is best to raise them yourself, which is self-sufficient and continuous.
Therefore, purchasing the mother chip directly can save a lot of time and effort. Scientists can accumulate a lot of experience by studying and analyzing the mother chip of this frigate. In the future, if the conditions are met, they can condense the mother chip in one step, saving a lot of trial and error costs.
Six outstanding Black Hawk-class frigates were built together in six docks. While building, he also modified them and allocated the modification points. The Black Hawk-class frigates had a total of nine modification points, all of which were allocated to general slots. 9 S small universal slots were added in one go.
Since it is special operations and infiltration, life-saving ability ranks first, and a thick shield and armor will naturally increase the chance of survival.
While construction was waiting, he took a look at the warehouse area.
The transformation of the agricultural and animal husbandry areas in the warehouse area is still ongoing. Although the efficiency of many robots has indeed been greatly accelerated with the addition of the Children of the Stars, there is still a long way to go before the complete transformation is completed.
He spent a week conducting a comprehensive inspection and found that the biggest problem lay in land conditioning.
After all, they were all extremely barren meteorites before. Although they are now crushed, they have only changed from whole meteorites to finely divided meteorites. Their essence has not yet changed from meteorites to soil.
This kind of sandy soil cannot yet be used for planting, and various land elements need to be added for further conditioning.
Li Qingyou was wondering if there was any way to buy Shar people. The species evolved from this plant are masters of land transformation. Barren planets can be easily transformed into forest planets. It is not difficult to transform the warehouse area.
These are all assumptions. The Shar people are too far away from here, and even the Shatta civilization cannot get around them. At this stage, there are only a few bold people who sneak out to capture some Shar slaves. They are small and expensive, and now they can only rely on themselves.
When they came out of the palm universe, six outstanding Black Hawk-class frigates had been built and were being equipped with weapons. They would be able to go into battle in a short time.
Frigate (Black Hawk class): used for patrolling, escorting, reconnaissance, guarding, mine-laying, supporting landings and supporting Marine Corps landings on planets.

Although frigates have always been used as cannon fodder, if they are fully equipped with Black Hawk-class frigates, they will still have considerable combat effectiveness.
More than half a month later, the fleet has arrived in an unknown star field and is currently rounding up a large transport fleet on a channel of the Shatta Civilization.
The escort fleet only had 2 battleships, 6 cruisers, 12 destroyers, and up to 140 frigates. Facing the fleet led by Li Yuan, it was a one-sided crushing. When he came out of the palm of the universe, the 140 frigates had been destroyed. 7788, at this time the main force was concentrating fire on the two battleships.
As for the transport fleet, it was fleeing at this time, but Li Lie had already followed it with 5 destroyers and 30 frigates, so it would definitely not be able to escape. (End of chapter)
