Chapter 1973 Divine Apocalypse-class battleship (Part 1)
1974, Divine Apocalypse-class battleship (Part 1)
The battleship classification adopted by the fourth civilization is relatively simple and crude. Compared with that of the Galactic Empire, The commonly used classification of Anax Battleship Academy is sometimes not so accurate, but it is very clear (note it in a small notebook for future exams).
For the battleships of the fourth civilization, the classification is as follows:
30 meters and below: fighter;
80 meters and below: frigate;
300 meters and below: destroyer;
1000 meters and below: cruiser;
3000 meters and below: battlecruiser;
8000 meters and below: battleship;
20,000 meters and below: Dreadnought;
Above 20,000 meters: Super-dreadnought.
On this basis, they will also be divided into light, heavy, or other different names according to their volume, such as electronic warfare frigates and guided missile frigates. This is based on the characteristics of those different warships. For example, if it is a heavy cruiser, its size is roughly in the second half of the range between 300 and 1,000 meters.
Spaceships from other technology trees, no matter what they were called before, are now uniformly called by the fourth civilization level.
At the same time, there are also classifications including transport ships, auxiliary ships, aircraft carriers, motherships, engineering ships, command ships, Titans, Colossi, and Dominators. These are all professional warships and are not directly included in the classification of warships. among. For example, the Ragnarov class, if divided according to size, the length of 14,100 meters should be a dreadnought, but in fact it is called a Titan in the naval establishment of the fourth civilization.
For example, the Titan battleship is defined in the Fourth Civilization Navy as a battleship that exists as the flagship of a sector-level fleet, is unique and irreplaceable in the same sector, and serves as the core flagship of the fleet in the entire sector.
In other words, the cost of this kind of battleship is too high and its functionality is very high. Some high-precision and cutting-edge equipment and parts cannot be put on the assembly line, so there is no possibility of mass production. Therefore, a sector-level A fleet with just one can reach the sky. Take the Ankeron-class Titan battleship as an example. The construction period is close to five years and requires a huge amount of resources and industrial production capacity. Even with the current productivity of the Dawn Principality, it was not until two years ago that the second Ankelon-class Titan battleship Yuanzhu was completed and entered into active service. And currently the Supreme Command has not approved the construction plan for the No. 3 ship, instead investing resources into the Salarian people to build the Archangel-class Titan battleship.
Therefore, let’s take another example of the 9,440-meter Ankelon-class Titan battleship. If one day the Fourth Civilization can mass-produce this kind of warship, then the Ankelon-class will The title of the Titan battleship was removed and renamed to the Ankhlon-class dreadnought according to the battleship classification.
Of course, in fact, if the technology reaches the level of mass production of the Ankelon class, there will be no need to produce warships like the Ankelon class with various auxiliary functions packed in. I will choose those battleships that are more professional and have more single functions.
So when that day comes, the name of the Ankeron-class Titan battleship will most likely be retained as a commemorative one.
By the way, the Principality of Dawn can indeed mass-produce Ragnarov-class Titan battleships, but there is no need for it, so the Navy has not mentioned renaming the Ragnarov-class. Thoughts for the Dreadnought. In the Fourth Civilization Military Museum, the Plague, the only Ragnarov-class Titan battleship built by the Fourth Civilization, is still being sung and remembered for its great achievements.
Tang Xiao took a shuttle and entered the Apocalypse-class battleship, and the battleship had reached such an extent that it was almost a steel city!
Along the way, Arroyo Barro, the chief engineer of the Salarians and the chief engineer of the Principality of Dawn, personally explained to Tang Xiao the various performances of this battleship.
“Although the design of the Shenshi-class battleship can be equipped with deflector shields, we still have not done so. The main energy supply of this battleship is concentrated in the six flagship laser arrays on both sides. "At the same time, in order to strengthen targeted protection, the Divine Class is equipped with high-level thermal, electromagnetic, and explosive armor, and also uses adaptive nanotechnology to adjust its defense capabilities according to the type of attack." Yo-Barlow said.
"I know that the resistant armor in the Amarr Empire's technology also consumes electricity. Why not just cancel the armor and use a deflector shield? At least this can reduce the development cycle and match our other warships." Tang Xiao asked.
“This is a problem with the structural design of the battleship. For example, when the deflector shield is attacked, the energy consumed to neutralize the attack is borne by the reactor of the entire battleship. But If it is armored with resistance, then if it is attacked, it will only be the point that is affected." Arroyo Barlow projected an elevation profile of the Apocalypse-class battleship on the screen. There are gestures above.
“So during battle, you can avoid repeated attacks on the same place through your own evasion and maneuvering. In this way, the battleship’s protective capabilities are greatly enhanced. At the same time, the structure of the Divine Apocalypse class The design is very good, even if one part suffers a devastating blow, it will not affect the performance of other areas." Arroyo Barlow is also very proud, "According to our simulation, even if the Apocalypse class battleship faces 20, it will not affect the performance of other areas. Even under the siege of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, it is capable of breaking out of the siege and retreating calmly."
"Yes, according to our intelligence, although the Galaxy Empire is also strengthening the research and development and construction of other types of auxiliary ships. , but the main force of their navy is still the imperial class that keeps rolling off the production line like dumplings." Tang Xiao nodded.
Arroyo Barlow showed a contemptuous smile, "The main firepower of the Empire is 60 twin heavy turbolaser cannons and 60 heavy ion cannons. The ones mainly used to attack shields The ion cannon is simply scratching the surface of the Apocalypse-class battleships equipped with electromagnetic armor. Therefore, only half of the firepower of the Empire-class can be used according to the main attack method of the Galaxy Empire Navy. The installation of attached armor focuses on three aspects: thermal energy, electromagnetism and explosion... I can guarantee that when the Apocalypse class appears in front of them, the Imperial Navy will only cry."
He added: "Of course, using armor as a defensive method is not without its shortcomings. Whether it is a divine-class battleship or a Hell's Angel-class battlecruiser, it can only be used as a simple gunboat. There is no hangar and no carrier-based aircraft. , there are no Marines, and there are only a few point defense turrets, because every additional point defense turret means one more weakness in the armor."
