Chapter 543, Battleship Technology


Chapter 543, Battleship Technology

When Gu Hang learned that the problem of the Shangdong-Guangfeng throat passage in the rear was solved, he also smiled slightly.

From the Meng River Star Territory to the Proud Claw Star Territory, this passage is the only way to go. It is the life passage for the subsequent war, so it must be taken seriously.

By opening up the jump points on both sides, the road can only be walked; until now, it is relatively smooth and there is no need to worry about threats.

In fact, for Gu Hang, if the Raging Flame Fleet is in Guangfeng Star and relies on complete planetary defense facilities to defend it, then he really doesn't dare to rush forward unscrupulously, and the war situation will become another one. Same thing.

But the current situation may not be better than the situation that has not happened.

After all, if the Raging Flame Fleet and the main force of their battle group were to gather on Guangfeng Star, then Gu Hang could adopt a decisive battle strategy to deal with it. The battle itself will definitely be much more difficult, but if you win one, the Proud Claw Star Territory will really be smooth sailing for Gu Hang to step on.

How is it like now, after circling just two star districts, you have to consider the risk and have to stop and digest it. Only after eliminating hidden dangers and risks as much as possible can we continue to attack.

And since it was now the stage of digesting the results of the victory, Gu Hang also decided to use the gift points in his hand to add some extra weight.

The number of gift points in his hand now is quite large.

Over the past few years, the alliance's monthly gift points have been increasing. The main growth points are the various planets and star districts in the Dragon Eagle Star Region. After the alliance's institutional reform, the degree of centralization and the alliance's control over local areas are becoming stronger and stronger.

These, in turn, enable the alliance to better invest resources and develop the economic construction of these planets according to local conditions.

The alliance's rank system can more effectively improve people's living standards.

Improved control, improved productivity and economic levels, and improved people’s living standards.

These are the three most important factors for monthly gift point income.

In addition to this, there is also a large amount of income coming from the control of the Menghe Star Territory.

Although factors such as control, level of development, and people's living standards are not very good in the Menghe Star Territory, it is still so big, with hundreds of worlds, and the total number of gift points it can provide is quite a lot.

So far, Gu Hang's monthly gift point income has reached the level of 330,000 per month.

This is already double what it was four years ago.

In terms of monthly fixed income alone, Gu Hang has earned more than 12 million yuan in the past four years.

However, these gift points have basically not been saved.

The past four years have been the four years that the Alliance has been preparing for war. Of course you can't keep gift points, just spend them if you have them.

Moreover, it was basically exchanged for various military trainings and various productivity-increasing buildings, which cost a lot.

As for the amount spent on technology, only 4 million was spent, and four million-dollar draws were held.

These four times, I failed to reach the Apocalypse level.

The probability of winning a million-level Apocalypse-level technology is only ten percent.

It was an epic technology, and I got two of them.

They are [Engineering Technology Research Facility] and [Phase Weapon].

The former is used for the research of engineering technology and can help the alliance build better research institutes. Its biggest help is that it allows the alliance to better and faster digest various extracted black box technologies, so that even after these new technologies are separated from the black box, the alliance can rely on its own industrial chain to ensure production. Continuously.

Gu Hang had drawn something like this before, but it was in the direction of biochemical technology research.

Biochemical technology is of course also very important, but relatively speaking, the most important aspect is engineering technology.

The manufacturing industry of various types of machinery, from tanks to mechas, from Titans to starships, is all under the broad framework of engineering technology.

With it, the technical level of the alliance itself will also be greatly improved, and many things that can only be produced in black boxes can be reversely researched.

As for the second epic technology, which is [Phase Weapon], this thing is also very powerful.

The Alliance had never heard of this thing in the empire's conventional technology before.

However, there are mentions of this object in various records and anecdotes collected through the Alliance Intelligence Department.

In some battle groups, as well as some very secretive imperial forces, you can occasionally see this kind of green-lighting weapon.

In most cases, they appear as cold weapons and cannot be made into projectiles; but their destructive power is very amazing. The phase sword created with this technology can ignore almost all material defenses and directly destroy the parts that the wielder wishes to destroy.

In other words, if the exquisite power sword in Martins's hand had been replaced by a phase sword when the Phoenix Chapter and the Raging Flame Chapter were fighting to the death, then the battle at that time would not have been as serious as The fight lasted until both of them were exhausted. When the weapon in his hand could ignore the protection of the Terminator power armor and directly damage the body inside, Martins would have killed the opponent long ago.

Of course, it's actually the same thing if you switch it over.

However, Gu Hang was not too excited about this.

He checked the detailed technical situation and communicated with engineers from the alliance's secret research institute. He basically confirmed that there was no way for the alliance to mass-produce this kind of weapon.

Even if there is a black box of the mother machine, that won't work.

The alliance does not have the ability to process the basic materials it requires. The production line was pulled out, but the front processing parts were missing and could not be produced.

It can only be made through the finished black box and a handful can be made in a week.

Then this application level is very small.

Not to mention large-scale assembly, even if it is assembled for the Phoenix Chapter, it will take twenty years.

Of course, this problem is actually related to the [Engineering Technology Research Facility] technology that Gu Hang drew out earlier.

Engineering technology research solves this problem.

Of course, Gu Hang did not require a large amount of research power to be invested in this project.

As a cold weapon, although it is very powerful, the role it can play in key battles will be very important. However, after all, the usage path is relatively narrow. There are finished black boxes for manufacturing and small-scale equipment. There are also a large number of other important technologies that require technical personnel from the alliance. The priority of phase weapons is not high.

The consumption of gift points in the past four years is roughly like this.

However, although he has never saved any wealth through his monthly fixed income, it cannot be ignored that the fixed income is only a part of Gu Hang's gift points income.

Another major part of his income comes from the war.

In the early years, the war effort to conquer the entire Menghe Star Region failed to provide Gu Hang with much income.

The main purpose is to conquer Meng He. Although the scale is large and involves the entire star field, the intensity of the war is not that big to be honest. The alliance's conquering operation relies more on political means. The enemy's resistance was not tenacious.

In this case, the number of gift points that can be accumulated will naturally not be too many.

However, when the rebels, with the Raging Flames as the main force, began to move south, and the two sides began to engage in an anxious battle in the northern part of the Meng River Star Territory, the gift points income brought by the war began to rise slowly. .

And when the main force of the alliance attacked, penetrated the Upper East-Guangfeng passage, and recovered two star sectors within the Proud Claw Star Territory, the income from war gift points increased even further.

Although, during this process, the Alliance did not find an opportunity to engage in a decisive battle with the Raging Flame Fleet, and failed to eliminate the main force of the Raging Flame Fleet. But after all, the overall scale of the war is here, whether it is the space defense system that eliminated those star tunnel jump points, the war to conquer the Upper Eastern Star, or the suppression of the twenty worlds in the Proud Talon Star Territory... …There are battles to fight.

Gu Hang didn't spend any of these gift points from the war randomly, he kept them all in his hands.

So far, the total income in this area has exceeded 10 million.

Just in time for a million-level ten-draw draw!

Apocalypse-level technology has a 10% shipment probability in the million-level range. If it happens to be ten consecutive times at a time, there is a high probability of harvesting!

And sure enough, just as Gu Hang expected, it was shipped.

Moreover, what he got was one of the things he wanted most:

[Apocalypse-class technology: Retribution-class battleship]

Gu Hang's face once again had a smile that no need to hide!

The long-awaited battleship technology is finally here!

Although, the technology has only been taken out now and cannot be put to use immediately. After all, from the construction of the dock to the long manufacturing cycle of the starship itself, it is not easy for the Alliance to build its own Retribution-class battleship.

But, it's a great start!

Gu Hang almost immediately informed Wu Jiarong of the corresponding technical information through the most encrypted star language communication.

Ms. Wu Jiarong, as one of the sages of the Mingyang Sect, is now an important participant in the close cooperation between the Mechanicus and the Alliance, and is often stationed on the Raging Star.

To put it bluntly, it is a return.

The situation has changed. In the past, Gu Hang was still thinking about whether he should create a skin of the Mechanicus and create a branch sect as a cover for black box technology.

But now it seems that it is not needed.

The Mingyang Sect has a high degree of cooperation.

From the perspective of the entire universe and the entire empire, the Mingyang Sect is of course a small, remote sect with a very obscure reputation and very weak power. But after all, they have a long history. Jindi Star, as a forging world, has developed for more than three thousand years, and it has more or less foundation.

It has some foundation, but its actual power is relatively average. The core of its power is in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, the alliance's homeland, and its influence only covers half of the Eastern Universe at best... Such a sect is simply too good to be true.

The wave of diplomatic exchanges conducted through black boxes four years ago was relatively successful.

Under this situation, Gu Hang decided to let Wu Jiarong become independent and start a sect of her own. With her status as a sage in the Mingyang Sect, she could just use the skin of the Mingyang Sect to develop.

Of course, simply notifying them of relevant information about the Retribution-class battleship is definitely not enough.

He exchanged all the two black boxes for this technology - the auxiliary dock construction and the finished black box for directly manufacturing the core components of the Retribution-class battleship. He also tore open the rift in the subspace and threw the things into his storm. In the Kingdom of God.

Most of the black boxes currently owned by the alliance are in the black box workshops in the Kingdom of Storm God. These two black boxes are no exception.

The heroic spirits will work hard in the black box workshop, produce things according to the needs of the research institute, and regularly deliver the things to the secret research institute on Raging Owl Star.

According to Wu Jiarong's judgment, taking into account all factors such as shipyard construction and the fact that key components can be produced directly in black boxes, the alliance's first self-produced Retribution-class battleship should be completed in six years.

From now on, we can probably maintain the pace of producing two ships every eight years.

What needs to be noted here is that producing two ships in eight years does not mean that one ship can be produced in four years.

The production cycle of a single Retribution-class battleship can last eight years, which is actually quite remarkable. At most, the alliance can start construction of two ships at the same time with the help of black box technology, and some highly technically difficult and extremely time-consuming manufacturing steps can be solved by the finished black box.

According to this construction pace, after eight years, the alliance will add two more Retribution-class ships, one Zhuge-class ship, two Holy Grail-class ships, and two Dragon Snake-class ships purchased from the Mingyang Sect.

Counting the eight of his own now, the number of main giant ships will soar to fifteen!

If it successfully reaches this scale, then there is still hope for the alliance to have a big battle with Iron Fury Stone's main fleet!

After all, on the surface, the Iron Armor Chapter only has 21 battleships plus aircraft carriers, and about thirty battle cruisers.

But it’s impossible for them to bring all the ships to the south, otherwise life in other directions will be difficult?

It's a pity...

No matter how optimistic Gu Hang is, he dare not say what this war will be like after eight years.

Maybe, as the war continues for a long time, it can really reach that time.

However, will the Iron Armor Chapter allow the Alliance to continue to develop quietly in the south during these eight years?

It seems impossible.

Moreover, the alliance itself also needs to adjust its economic structure more. With the launch of the production lines of two more battleships, the economic structure of Angry Owl may be somewhat unbearable. More people need to be relocated, and more consumer goods need to be imported from the planetary level to support it.

However, Gu Hang didn't feel there was much pity.

With battleship technology, one's own war potential is greatly enhanced anyway.

Time will be on your side.

As for the current war, just fight at your own pace.
