Chapter 1477 Rescue Operation (End)
1477, Rescue Operation (End)
Cunte and the others looked over and saw, as expected, an extremely huge battleship right in front!
District 7 of the Kuat Industrial Star Ring is the Andrim Shipyard. If you look at it from the outside, it is actually an E-shaped structure. Outside the star ring area, there are huge interstellar shipyards. There are now more than a dozen Knight-class Star Destroyers being outfitted.
However, among the warships under construction, there is an extremely huge figure that is very conspicuous! That is an extremely huge battleship!
This battleship is triangular in shape as a whole, but it is very thick. If viewed from the front, the cross-sectional structure of the front is also a downward triangle, so the shape of this battleship is more three-dimensional.
This also means that the size of the battleship increases exponentially! For interstellar warships, big equals strong and fast. Sufficient energy supply can allow such warships to do things that small spacecraft simply cannot do!
What is even more conspicuous is that the bow of this battleship is shaped like a hook, and a set of energy transmission structures that appear to be very complex and huge are being installed on it.
According to sensor scans, the length of this warship under construction has reached a terrifying 17.5 kilometers! It is even more than 3 kilometers longer than the Plague Titan battleship once used by the Fourth Civilization. Not to mention that compared with the slender Plague, this triangular-shaped spacecraft is wider and taller. Far more than that!
However, at a glance now, you can see that this battleship is far from complete. The external structure of the battleship is not completed, there are countless missing parts on the battleship, and a large amount of exposed frame structure can be seen.
But very fortunately, this battleship has an engine installed on it! Although this engine looks like it is pieced together from the engines of four Knight-class Star Destroyers, it must at least have the ability to sail.
It seems that this giant ship should have undergone navigation tests recently. The main reason for this is that the designer has not yet completely determined the thrust structure design of the battleship, so prototype ship testing is required. That's why the Knight-class propulsion structure was installed and various tests were conducted before completing a thrust structure design that could match this giant ship.
Of course, if we really want to boil it down to the final analysis, it is because the battleship designer Lila Blissex simply does not have the ability to complete the design of such a super battleship, even if she has assembled a very large The design team and expert team try to gather the brainstorming ideas of more battleship designers to cover up their actual lack of ability.
But even so, the design and finalization of the battleship was still difficult, and a large number of actual tests had to be carried out.
So in fact, Lila Blissex lied to Palpatine at the meeting-Quat Power Shipyard simply did not have the ability to complete this super battleship within a year. The construction! If there is no other promotion, this time will increase to at least 20 years, or even more.
This is also because of the impact that the Fourth Civilization's two Titan warships, the Plague and the Xuanwu, appeared on the scene and caused very heavy damage to the Galactic Republic. In order to fight against the opponent's Titan battleship, they also had to hastily launch their own super battleship plan.
And now, this super battleship, which has almost only one frame, becomes an opportunity for the rescue team!
Kleist said loudly: "I scanned that this battleship has a very simple control system! I can hack in and make this battleship move! There is also a hatch at the bottom of the battleship, and I can It can be opened!”
The priestess immediately thought of the next plan, “Indeed, with this unfinished battleship as a bunker, we can use the cover of this battleship to sail out of the planet’s gravity. Well, then start the hyperspace engine of our own spacecraft and leave!"
Without stopping her hands, she immediately started to accelerate the spacecraft and flew towards the huge spacecraft.
Sensing the Lancer's movements, the fighters and battleships of the Kuart Defense Fleet became even more frantic! Those battleships fired wildly, not even caring about whether they would damage the star ring itself! They kept firing, just to stop them from going in the direction of the giant ship!
"I think we have found the right direction." Cunte's serious face finally showed a chic smile, "They seem to be afraid of us passing by." "Okay! I took over this ship The battleship's control system is starting the engine and warming up!" Kleist's hands almost turned into two afterimages, and he quickly operated on the terminal, saying, "This system is very simple, there is almost only one set. The propulsion system and an energy-focused monitoring system are placed at the bow of the ship. In the future, there should be a giant cannon there.”
The priestess also cooperates with Murte to control the spacecraft. , shuttled through countless hails of bullets, Judgment controlled the turbolaser cannon, fired accurately based on the force's prediction, and almost every shot was able to shoot down a Republic fighter jet.
At the same time, under the control of Kleist, a hatch in the belly of the huge battleship was opening, and the Lancer flew in like lightning. Some Republic fighter jets had no time to turn and crashed into the super battleship.
Seeing that the spacecraft finally flew into the super battleship, the Kuat security force command center and fleet headquarters suddenly became chaotic.
“No! The fugitives have entered the Eclipse!”
“Ceasefire! Ceasefire! Can’t hurt the Eclipse!!”
“Send out fighter jets immediately Formation enters the Eclipse and hunts down the fugitives!"
"The Eclipse's engines are starting! They want to escape!"
"Don't worry! The Eclipse doesn't have a hyperspace engine! The most important thing now is to get into the ship! The fighter is too fast and cannot maneuver inside the battleship! Send the LAAT assault transport ship in immediately!"
After a heated discussion, the Kuat defense fleet immediately reached a consensus. Dozens of LAAT assault transport boats flew towards the super battleship, using the assault transport boats' powerful low-altitude and low-speed combat capabilities to hunt down the Lancer. At the same time, all warships ceased fire for fear of damaging this extremely precious prototype ship.
......
However, at this time, in a very huge laboratory on the planet Kuat. A short young woman wearing designer clothes was also watching the battle outside the ring through sensors.
"Chief Engineer, the engine installed during our last thrust test has not been removed and was targeted by separatist fugitives." A technician came over and said very respectfully.
He called this young woman chief engineer, which revealed her identity—chief engineer of Quat Power Dockyard, battleship designer, Lila Blissex! -
