Chapter 849: Counting the Harvest
848. Counting the Harvest
The Harm Galaxy suddenly became busy. A large number of transport ships continued to arrive here, and at the same time they brought a large number of engineering ships.
After seizing 178 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers in the Blade fleet, Tang Xiao immediately arranged for the fleet to be repaired on the spot.
Because these battleships have been sleeping in the void for 25 years, the internal equipment of the battleships needs to be maintained and replaced, and the fuel and energy used also need to be extracted and injected with new energy.
The most important thing is to disinfect the entire ship. After all, the main reason why the Blade Fleet disappeared was because of the spread of cerebral plague among the crew. Although 25 years have passed, no one can guarantee whether the brain plague bacteria are still present in the cabin.
In addition, these Dreadnought-class battleships also need to be reprogrammed and have their operating systems replaced. After all, they are all battleships of the Galactic Republic, and the systems used are naturally those of the former Republic's Judiciary Fleet.
So the Halm galaxy became the temporary base of the Blade Fleet. 178 warships were stationed on this planet, making it rock-solid.
Under the heavy protection of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship Plague is undergoing emergency repairs.
The Plague has almost completely lost its combat capabilities: the bridge command center was blown up, one of the energy rails of the super-matter electromagnetic gun was blown off, and the outer armor of the other three rails was also seriously damaged. Don't underestimate these energy guide rails. The length of each guide rail can reach more than 9,000 meters, and the total weight is hundreds of millions of tons!
Not only that, the battleship hangar platform was completely destroyed, the shield capacitor cabin was completely destroyed, four-fifths of the anti-matter manufacturing cabin was destroyed, the super-matter electromagnetic gun projectile processing factory was completely destroyed, more than half of the living area was destroyed, and the hyperspace engine was destroyed. Severe damage.
And the battleship's energy supply is less than 20% of the normal level, which is the result of emergency repairs.
More than 40% of the battleship's outer armor belt was penetrated, and more than 1,070 outer compartments were destroyed. The battleship's airtightness no longer existed at all, and air leaked wildly in all directions as soon as the life-support device was turned on. The only good news is that the gravity generator is still intact, which makes it much easier for engineers to drive the SCV into the interior of the battleship for repairs.
Finally, according to the assessment of scientists from the Fourth Civilization, it will take at least 5 years for the Plague to undergo a thorough overhaul before it can regain its glory.
For Tang Xiao, the leader of the fourth civilization, this is out-and-out bad news. Because in the current direction of fleet construction of the Fourth Civilization, the integration of fleet shields can be said to be a solid shield, and the spear to attack the enemy is the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship.
The biggest shortcoming of the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship is its poor continuous combat capability and poor anti-strike ability. However, this series of battles are all based on its weaknesses.
The Plague was pursued for a month or two. In many cases, in order to provide fire support for the fleet, the Plague had to bear most of the firepower itself.
Being beaten like this in the end is the inevitable result.
Politically speaking, the Plague's raid on the planet Cato-Neimoidia caused a great change in the attitude of the Trade Federation, which can be said to be a success.
But from a military point of view, although the Plague has successively killed three 8,000-meter-level Commander-class dreadnoughts of the Republic, as well as more than ten or twenty giant ships of more than one kilometer, large and small, but with Compared with the power and size of the Plague itself, it was still a huge failure.
In Tang Xiao's view, this failure was due to Severance Tann's ignorance of politics and her excessive use of force, which almost caused the Trade Alliance's position to become unstable and forced the Plague to retreat.
But actually speaking from the root, let the Titan battleship Plague, which is not known for its maneuverability, go deep into the core circle of the Galactic Republic to conduct a raid on the planet Cato-Neimoidia. , itself a huge adventure, both politically and militarily.
Able to achieve this raid, Severance Tann can fully assume the title of the strongest super fleet commander in the current galaxy.
So in other words, Tang Xiao is passing the blame.
Although Severance Tann is talented, she has huge character flaws. Even in the setting that Tang Xiao knew before traveling through time, she had the evaluation of "neither respecting the enemy nor comrades." But it was extremely dazzling, and in fact she was indeed such a person. When she was in the territory of the Chiss, Tann was actually a spoiled genius. She has status, looks, and money, but she also has a talent that no one can match, which is why she has such a twisted character.
The subsequent destruction of the family made her character even more twisted. In the original plot, she raided Sarabin and shined for a month in the war. She was soon killed by Shen Jon, who was bent on revenge. Her character was one of them. A very critical factor...
It would be good to take this opportunity to give it a hard knock.
Tang Xiao would naturally not admit that he was actually quite happy that day... It goes without saying that he felt like stepping on the cold-tongued Sister Yu under his feet and punishing her fiercely.
And it was at the heart of a large-scale battlefield, with huge ships and cannons raining bullets outside, but here it was a different story...
Fortunately, in the end, maybe the God of Luck was really kind and Severance Tann actually found the lost Blade Fleet!
This huge discovery turned this defeat into a brilliant victory. 178 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were obtained, allowing the Fourth Army to lose most of its mobile fleet in the Battle of Terminus. Civilization suddenly had a powerful fleet again.
Tang Xiao can immediately continue to launch an attack on the 18th Army of the Galactic Republic, threatening the Eriadu planet he dreams of!
Once it can occupy this economic, political, commercial center and transportation hub in the middle of the Milky Way, the Fourth Civilization can truly radiate its power to the entire western region of the Milky Way! Even if the Federation of Independent Systems is defeated in the future, the Fourth Civilization can rely on the planet Eriadu to separate itself from such a stable country!
And after counting, he gained more than 178 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers.
Because these battleships are all fully loaded during wartime!
Each battleship contains equipment that can arm 800 fully armed marines, as well as 1,000 sets of spare equipment. This is equivalent to getting individual equipment that can arm an army of 320,000 soldiers this time, including combat uniforms, blaster rifles, blaster machine guns, rocket launchers, and mortars.
And it is fully loaded with 12 Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets. Some of these fighter jets were lost in the battle, but there are still more than 1,700 that can be used.
Although the performance of these fighters is not as good as that of the Ghost fighters and is not suitable for use by the fourth civilization's first-line fleet, they are assigned to important areas including the newly occupied planet Havin together with the individual equipment of the Marines. It is more than enough to serve as a local defense force.
But the most exciting thing is that these battleships in the Blade Fleet are actually filled with AT-PT walking mechas!
This bipedal walking mecha, together with the reconnaissance AT-RT, was the predecessor of the AT-ST walking mecha commonly used in the Galactic Empire in the future.
The AT-PT is 3 meters high and 4 meters long. It can be operated by a single soldier. It is equipped with a twin MK-1/W blaster cannon and a concussion grenade launcher, and has powerful firepower. The maximum running speed can reach 60 kilometers per hour. In off-road conditions, its powerful feet can jump up to a height of about 5 meters, making it very maneuverable.
The only drawback of this kind of mecha is that the two mechanical legs are too fragile, and if the main body suffers a huge impact, the mechanical legs are not enough to support the mecha standing, and it is easy to fall.
But as a single-soldier mecha, it is excellent enough.
Especially among the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers of the Blade Fleet, each of them is equipped with 30 AT-PT walking mechas!
In other words, a total of 5,340 AT-PTs were obtained this time! According to the establishment of the fourth civilization, this number can completely arm 5 mechanized divisions!
These gains are enough to dilute the haze brought by the Plague to Tang Xiao, and after getting such a big piece of cake, he has to start thinking about other eyes that are coveting it.
