Chapter 2086 Ling Liang Report (2)
2087, Ling Liang Report (2)
[Paladin-class battlecruiser (Paladin-class), I have to admit that the Salarian engineers are really Very excellent. Originally, I thought it would be difficult to make any breakthroughs in the design of the disaster-class battlecruiser, but Arroyo Barlow of the Engineering Department always showed his amazing talent. 】
[Paladine class, this is a new type of battlecruiser newly included in the Navy of the Principality of Dawn. It is an upgraded version of the disaster class battlecruiser. The basic appearance of the Paladin-class battlecruiser is almost identical to that of the Catastrophe-class battlecruiser, and the length is also 1,550 meters. But the Salarians assured me that the energy supply structure inside the battleship has been almost completely redesigned, and a cutting-edge antimatter engine has been adopted. 】
[Actually, when I participated in the maiden flight ceremony of the Paladin class for the first time, I was originally not interested in those fancy performances, but they told me the most basic data, which can be intuitively Showing the excellence of the Paladin-class battlecruiser - its energy supply power is 2.15 times that of the Cataclysm-class battlecruiser. 】
[And as the best carrier of particle light spears, the internal energy supply structure of the Paladin-class battlecruiser is almost entirely designed for this large energy weapon. This made me a little confused at the time. I asked Arroyo Barlow, isn't the disaster-level energy structure specially designed? He told me that the disaster-level design still required a lot of compromises. 】
[Okay, so now, the Paladin-class battlecruiser equipped with particle light spears has a single shot of particle light spears that are far more powerful than the disaster class. 】
【But what I am most concerned about is the actual combat effect. After all, the particle light spear of the Cataclysm-class battlecruiser was already somewhat inadequate when facing the Knight-class Star Destroyer/Empire-class Star Destroyer. But this time, according to experimental data, the particle spear launched by the Paladin-class battlecruiser will cause a devastating blow to the Empire-class Star Destroyer. 】
[Furthermore, Arroyo Barlow also told me that the particle lance launched by the Paladin-class battlecruiser can be deflected for up to 1.5 seconds. This is an excellent result, as it means that a 1.5-second correction of the angle of incidence can be made during the irradiation process. This also means a higher hit rate, and of course, for those 1.5 seconds, the power of the Paladin-class battlecruiser is more than doubled. 】
What makes the Paladin-class battlecruiser more in line with my plan is that because there are almost no major changes in the appearance, if the retired disaster-class battlecruiser is renovated and upgraded, its parts will The reuse rate reached more than 60%.
It takes 12 months of work to build a new Paladin-class battlecruiser (again, the Star Wars calendar has 10 months in a year and 35 days in January), while converting a Cataclysm-class battlecruiser into a Paladin-class battlecruiser Cruiser, only 6 months of work required. Five years is enough time to comprehensively upgrade the 170 disaster-class battlecruisers currently in service, and to build about 200 new Paladin-class ships at the same time.
Originally, the Vathian Planet Core Industrial Zone does not have the ability to produce Paladin-class battlecruisers, but if the Dawn Planet Core Industrial Zone can share part of the manufacturing of high-precision parts, then the Vathian Core Industrial Zone District can complete all Paladin-level construction plans.
[Lundili Planet Industrial Zone, this is the only industrial zone in the Principality of Dawn that is being downgraded. There is nothing we can do about it. Even if the Star Gate has been built now, the planet Rendili is still the most dangerous place. This danger is not only due to the more than 800 Star Destroyers assembled by the Galactic Empire around the Rendily System, but also because of the current population of 400 billion on the planet. 】
The loose organization of Rendili Interstellar Power Company makes it relatively easy to relocate the interstellar shipyard of Rendili Planet, but even if it is being relocated, the industrial area of Rendili Planet is still at dawn. The largest industrial area in the principality.
The peak Rendili planet has more than 3,600 interstellar shipyards, and currently only 1,500 are left, but this is far from all of Rendili planet.
On a planet with a maximum population of 600 billion, more than 3,000 layers have been developed. Among them is an extremely large-scale industrial zone. It can be said that at least a quarter of the planet Rendili is a huge factory. Regarding these, I can only say that it is indeed a heritage of more than 20,000 years. Rendili Interstellar Power Company, if you don’t have an in-depth understanding, you will never know how many things they have. I even suspect that even Adele Ulan herself does not fully understand it.
Bangila Ulan seemingly stepped back and left the property to his granddaughter Adele Ulan, but I always think that he still holds some more powerful forces in his hands. . If this is true, maybe I need to talk to Solomon Lane, even though I don't like anyone in the Secret Service.
The problems faced by Lundili Planet Industrial Zone are, on the one hand, the input of raw materials, and on the other hand, the aging of equipment.
It is not an easy task to fill the countless factories and interstellar shipyards on the planet Rendili with raw materials. Even building a stargate in the shadow of a planetary satellite is very risky, because it is likely to let the Galactic Empire know the secret of the stargate. There is no doubt that once the Galactic Empire knows the true function of the Stargate, war will immediately break out. I have to make sure this doesn't happen.
Therefore, at least half of the factories on the planet Rendili are still in a state of shutdown and storage. However, to ensure the progress of Operation Zero, these factories cannot remain idle. I have sent a plan to Secretary of National Security Peggy Carter, hoping that she can find a way to transport raw materials from the core industrial zone of Vathian to London without being detected by the Imperial Security Bureau of the Galactic Empire. Go up to Planet Dilly.
【But her face didn't look good at the time, so she probably thought I was looking for trouble. 】
As for the production plan of the Lundili Planet Industrial Zone, I have suggested that they should not continue to build Victory II-class Star Destroyers. The blueprints for this kind of Star Destroyer had already been submitted to the Republic Shipbuilding Review Committee for review when they were still in the Galactic Republic. It is already public data. Now the Galactic Empire is equipped with at least 1,000 Victory II-class ships.
In addition, after the upgrade of older models of warships such as the Cole-class battlecruisers, the performance of the Victory II-class can no longer meet the requirements of our army.
So after discussion, I asked the planet Rendili to mainly undertake the construction work of small and medium-sized warships. Steadfast-class cruiser, Double-blade-class electronic warfare light cruiser, as well as the latest Zealot-class assault cruiser and Ogno-class logistics repair ship.
I can tell that Adele Ulan is not happy with this decision. She may think that not building a capital ship means that she does not recognize the strength of Rendili Interstellar Power Company, and feels that she is being squeezed out.
I advised her not to think so, because as a woman, she had already reached the pinnacle of the Dawn Principality. But she just told me that I didn't understand her status in Grand Duke Tang Xiao's mind.
I don’t want to guess these things, I just told her to complete the construction of at least 60,000 small and medium-sized warships within five years. I don’t think other industrial zones can do this.
