1148. Battleship Review (Part 2)
Gali Ulan is still on the Republic Ship Supervision Committee The days at the meeting were like years, looking at the nonsense-like deliberation and the number of orders that pierced his heart like a sharp knife.
The Quat Power Dockyard has finally entered a critical stage, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser!
This is the most important link, because the Galactic Republic spends hundreds of billions on the Jaeger-class battlecruiser every year!
In order to show his attention, the Speaker of the Galactic Republic, Sheev Palpatine, also attended the meeting in person today to observe the review of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser.
The review of the Hunter class will be much more careful.
“First of all, we need to confirm that the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is indeed a very classic and powerful battleship.” The chairman of the Ship Supervision Committee seemed to like to put the word ‘classic’ in the praise On the special battleship, "What we can see is that the Jaeger-class battlecruiser is essentially an aviation battleship, with a maximum carrying capacity of 420 aircraft. However, with such an astonishing carrying capacity, it still ensures Powerful firepower, mobility and protection."
He opened a list of data, "In the early exchange of fire with the Separatist fleet, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser faced the other party's Generous-class communications frigates and Disobedient. Class light destroyers and other main battleships can form a very obvious advantage. Only the rare and expensive Shenyi-class destroyers can compete with the Separatists."
"But no matter how classic the design is, it must be limited. Due to the development of the battle situation, the emergence of the separatist Cole-class battlecruisers and Behemoth-class battlecruisers has posed a very huge threat to the Jaeger-class battleships. The common feature of these two types of battleships is..." The president opened. The holographic projection projects three-view cross-sections of the Cole-class and Behemoth-class. The Cole-class cross-section is very detailed, while the Behemoth-class has only a few lines of data.
"...They all possess a very powerful but slow-charging super main gun." The president continued, "The Cole-class large electromagnetic gun and the Behemoth-class Yamato cannon are even more powerful than those they have ever seen. The Titan battleship Plague also has a super electromagnetic gun... This can be seen as a direction for the design of the warship of the separatist forces."
Schiff Palpatine said with a serious expression: "That is. Say, Separatism...well, the Dawn Planet and the Fourth Group are the Cole-class and Behemoth-class specifically developed to target the weaknesses of the Jaeger-class?"
"Yes, according to what happened not long ago? Judging from the air battle in the Umbrea galaxy, this weakness of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser has been infinitely magnified, and it is almost impossible to effectively resist when facing the Behemoth-class battlecruiser," the president said.
In her seat at the Quat Power Dockyard, Chief Battleship Designer Lila Blissex stood up, bowed to Palpatine, and then said, "Let me answer this question."
Palpatine nodded.
"The main reason why the Jaeger-class is at a disadvantage when facing the Cole-class and Behemoth-class is the difference in design ideas between the two. The Jaeger-class is not a simple warship. At the beginning of the design, It is designed for the purpose of "suppressing a planet with a single ship", so the Jaeger-class is equipped with marines and vehicles, and has a carrying capacity of up to 420 fighter jets... According to the super matter we currently produce. In terms of the power of the reactor, maintaining the warship at about 1,000 meters is the optimal solution, and this size is also the best size to enter the atmosphere, so we have done a lot of work..."
Lila hunted The three views of the troop-class battlecruiser were opened, showing the internal structure of the battleship. "The hangar, energy system and cargo warehouse inside the Jaeger-class battlecruiser all occupy a large amount of space, and there is also a preset regiment-level command center. It can support an entire legion in combat on the planet. Under such circumstances, the Jaeger class still maintains very good firepower and shields..."
Gali Ulan curled his lips, this self The older woman started bragging about her design again. Oh no, who said it was her design? It was clearly her father's design! Her father, Willix Blissex, was the true designer of the Jaeger-class, able to cram so much into a battleship and make it capable of meeting the requirements of almost any combat situation. This is definitely not something that this woman with her head full of vanity and fame and fortune can do!
It was for the same reason that their father and daughter broke up, and their father, Willix Blissex, came to Lundilli.
But now seeing Lila Blissex bragging about the Jaeger-level and treating it as her own achievement, Gary Ulan just sneered in his heart.
"I just want to know something more crucial, Miss Lila." Palpatine said with a smile, but there was no room for doubt in his words.
The corners of Gali Ulan's mouth turned up slightly, and it seemed that the Speaker had the same view.
The only difference is... opinions are opinions and practices are practices. My father has always told himself to treat the speaker with caution. He is not really an easy person to deal with.
“...The biggest weakness of the Jaeger-class is that the space inside the ship is very compact, and almost every inch of the space is used. Therefore, the Jaeger-class has only a single layer of armor. Even though our materials and technology have made the Jaeger-class The armor of the Jaeger-class can withstand direct fire from turbolaser cannons of the same level, but if the armor is penetrated, the Jaeger-class will immediately suffer a fatal blow," Lila said.
Palpatine nodded thoughtfully, "So the reason why the Jaeger-class is so vulnerable when facing the Cole-class and Behemoth-class is because the main guns of these two battleships only need one shot. "The class was immediately paralyzed?"
"To be more specific, it was directly destroyed. Of course, this does not deny the classic design of the Jaeger class," the chairman of the Ship Supervision Committee continued. .
Lila Blissex nodded and said: "Yes, the Jaeger-class only has a single layer of armor, and there are almost no explosion-proof compartments, so as long as the armor is penetrated, the scope of the explosion will be Even if there is one inside, it will cause functional damage. Moreover, in the face of the spreading flames, the Jaeger-class interior also lacks sufficient insulation and buffering. There have been previous cases where the cabin next to the energy core caught fire, which directly caused the energy source. The situation of core explosion."
"So, is there a way to solve it?" Palpatine asked.
Lila shook her head and said: "This is a design problem that cannot be solved. There are too many aspects that need to be taken into consideration in the design of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser. It is completely comprehensive. Such a design will make There is no room for further upgrades in the Jaeger class.”
It’s not that you can’t, it’s that you have no way to modify your father’s design! Gary Ulan looked at him coldly.
"Of course, our Quat Power Shipyard has sufficient plans for this. This is... the Knight-class Star Destroyer (Tector-class Star Destroyer)!" Lila Blissex said.
