1804. Infinity-class super aircraft carrier (middle)
The spaceship entered the interior of Infinity from the hangar entrance, and only saw that it was a very huge hangar platform. Above the broad platform, there are hundreds of movable gantry racks. These gantry racks are currently empty, but in the future, each gantry rack will be hung with a fighter jet.
This is a modern hangar platform with a complete set of fighter maintenance and supply functions. There is even a fighter production line that can disassemble and assemble some damaged fighter jets into brand new fighter jets. Or, far away from the rear base, local materials can be used to directly build fighter jets.
There are two such hangar platforms, located on both sides of the rear of the battleship.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke! Thank you for coming!" More than a dozen Neimoidians walked towards them, and the one at the front was naturally the Governor of the Trade Federation, Newt Gunray.
He held his hands in front of his chest with great respect.
"I heard that you have made many changes to the design of the Endless-class super aircraft carrier based on the existing technical conditions. Is that true?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Please allow me to introduce you, Your Majesty the Grand Duke." A Neimoidian wearing goggles came out from behind Newt Gunray, and he bowed to Tang Xiao. "I am Mal-Took, currently the captain of the Infinity."
"I remember you. During the battle on the planet Rynos, you were commanding the fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems." Tang Xiao said. He naturally remembered this Neimoidian general who had caused a lot of trouble to Anakin Skywalker.
"This is my honor." Mal-Tuk saluted again, then cleared his throat and said loudly: "The Endless-class super aircraft carrier is currently the largest warship our Trade Alliance has ever participated in building. Even among our Kingdom of Dawn, it is second only to the Titan battleship, with a length of 5694.2 meters, a height of 1041.2 meters, and a width of 833.3 meters..."
Tang Xiao nodded. Indeed, compared to the Titan battleship that incorporates the most cutting-edge technology of the Dawn Principality, the Endless-class super aircraft carrier can be said to be a super battleship that can be put on the production line, which is of great significance to the Dawn Principality.
“The main design direction of the Endless-class super aircraft carrier is to be able to support continuous operations outside the supply circle for a long time. The battleship has a complete fighter, missile, and bullet manufacturing plant inside, and it also has an additional explosive device Gas compression factory. The supplies carried by the battleship can last for two years, and if simple supplies can be obtained, it can even continue to operate outside for 5 to 10 years."
Mar-Tuk quoted Tang. Xiao and Adele Ulan walked across the hangar platform and onto a set of high-speed rail cars, which are vehicles inside the battleship and are used to move quickly inside the huge battleship. The 4,825-meter-long Conqueror-class battleship also has a similar design.
“The biggest change we have made to this battleship is to redesign the weapon system. First of all, the four 27-meter-caliber super electromagnetic guns originally designed to be installed in the front of the battleship will now be modified to three particle beams. Spear of light," Mal-Took said.
“Shouldn’t it be four seats?” Tang Xiao asked, turning his head. "With four particle lances, there is not enough space. The length of a group of particle lance systems is about 800 meters, while a group of original 27-meter-caliber super electromagnetic guns are only 300 meters long. This requires us to redesign the space at the bow of the battleship. layout. Therefore, the new space layout can only accommodate three particle light spears. However, compared with the original electromagnetic gun, the combat capability of the particle light spears is naturally far greater."
Tang Xiao nodded and asked: "So what about the extra space requirements of the particle spear? How did you deal with it?"
"Dr. Halsey helped us redesign the battleship. The energy transmission system transmits the energy from the central reactor at the stern of the ship to the bow, and the transmission path is just above the rail transit we are currently riding on," Mal-Turk said. "In addition, the areas involved around the energy transmission path. There were originally 700 missile launch arrays, but now they have all been converted into turbo laser cannons and heavy laser cannons, which will free up a lot of space for missile storage and manufacturing, which just makes up for the more space occupied by the particle spears."
He continued: "There were originally 1,100 missile launch systems in the design, but now only 400 of them are retained to make up for the firepower gap of turbo laser cannons and heavy laser cannons. At the same time, 837 70mm caliber rapid-fire close-in defense systems The artillery has now converted 500 of them into laser point defense systems, and the remaining 337 are mainly used to launch diffusion bombs and special ammunition."
"The current firepower configuration of the Endless-class super aircraft carrier uses ultra-long-range particles. The light spear is the core, the heavy anti-matter missile is the outer ring, the turbo laser cannon is the middle ring, the heavy laser cannon is the inner ring, and the close-in defense laser system and the 70mm caliber rapid-fire cannon are the anti-aircraft firepower ring, forming a layered firepower distribution and warship. It is also equipped with three different types of missiles to perform tasks against large warships, small and medium-sized warships, and anti-fighter aircraft as a supplement.”
"Therefore, the adjusted firepower of the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier can be said to be sufficient to meet the needs of any situation. It is more powerful than any known battleship in the galaxy!" Mal-Tuk said excitedly.
Tang Xiao was very satisfied after hearing this. Because he knew that the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier was not a pure warship in its original design. Its main firepower was four 27-meter-caliber electromagnetic guns, and these four electromagnetic guns were still fixed on the bow, and they had to be aimed at very trouble. Other firepower includes 1,100 groups of missile launchers and 837 groups of close-in defense guns. They are mainly for self-defense. Strictly speaking, they do not have the ability to compete with enemy warships of the same level.
However, now that it has been modified, it is completely different!
Three particle light spears make the firepower of the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier instantly become insane! And although it is also fixed on the bow of the ship, the particle light spear is a light speed energy weapon! Its hit rate is much higher than that of the electromagnetic gun!
And the traditional turbolaser cannon in the "Star Wars" world is also a powerful technology that is much larger than ordinary laser weapons in terms of power and effective range. With the combination of turbolasers and particle lances, the anti-ship combat capability of the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier has reached a new level.
At the same time, the missile technology of the Principality of Dawn is also more advanced than that of the UNSC. The commonly installed anti-matter missiles and proton torpedoes can be said to be a nightmare for enemy warships. The Fire Cloud missile can effectively spread a deadly radiation cloud, which is a huge threat to warships and fighter jets.
On this basis, the Principality of Dawn also has very mature laser technology, and X-ray weapons are now standard equipment on the Principality of Dawn warships. Whether it is ultra-high-power X-rays emitted by heavy laser cannons or high-rate X-rays emitted by close-range defense laser cannons, they can both achieve better combat effectiveness.
So after such modifications, although the density of defensive firepower of the Endless-class super aircraft carrier has been reduced, and it is more inclined to fight against the ship, in fact, even if the opponent has a large number of fighter jets attacking, the Endless-class close-in firepower The Internet can also attack head-on.
This kind of modification direction, on the one hand, is to make the best use of everything and directly apply the existing advanced technology of the Dawn Principality. At the same time, it is also designed to face the numerous Imperial-class Star Destroyers of the Galactic Empire Navy!
