"Half a year ago, Mu Xing asked me for a trial production license for a full range of weapons. I thought it was no problem..."
Holding a photo in his hand, Professor Xu Zhengze argued feebly. As a result, his words caused laughter, but it was not ridicule - everyone here knew that it actually came from the authorization of the Star Alliance Council, not General Xu's personal behavior - in fact, since the hijacking incident, no one can Mu Xing's request was rejected.
But...well, who would have thought that her unworthy brother would suddenly change his ways and own a large military factory! Obviously... the current situation is that Mu Xing, through her brother Lu Yuan, "trial-produced" some strange things, and these things will cause a stir in the entire galaxy!
This is the conference room of the dreadnought ship "Kilimanjaro". Present are three fleet commanders, General Hackett of the Fifth Fleet, Admiral Nitish Singh of the Third Fleet, and Vice Admiral Young of the Sixth Fleet that is being formed; as well as the Vice President of the Naval Research Institute, Mu Xing's Foster father Professor Xu Zhengze and the three most senior battleship experts. An independent meeting on the battleship was not recorded and could not be attended via a remote conferencing system, meaning it was a top secret meeting.
"Kilimanjaro" is the first ship of the Star Alliance Kilimanjaro class and the latest type of dreadnought ship of the Star Alliance. Before the Kilimanjaro class, the Star Alliance already had three Everest class dreadnoughts, namely the USS Everest, USS Elbrus and USS Fuji.
original. After Kilimanjaro, the production of at least four dreadnoughts of the same level will begin immediately! But now everyone knows that all those plans have become waste paper. Even the Sixth Fleet may not be willing to accept the latest Kilimanjaro-class dreadnought. Vice Admiral Yang preferred to wait two years and then build his new fleet around the new Dreadnought-class battleships designed by Mu Xing.
Before that...
"We don't need new dreadnoughts for the time being. At this rate, give me twenty heavy cruisers to make do with it first." Lieutenant General Yang said shamelessly, which immediately attracted a lot of scolding! "It's okay with your sister!" the voices kept coming. Lieutenant General Keyang picked his ears and pretended not to hear. Anyone who doesn't argue at this time is a fool!
Yes, what is now before these figures who stand at the pinnacle of the Star Alliance Navy. It is the latest heavy cruiser design plan and some photos.
All of these are the work of that genius girl, Mu Xing. Mu Xing had come into contact with a lot of military equipment. She even dismantled a cruiser into parts at the Gagarin Space Station and left it there. The warship costing hundreds of millions of stars was turned into scrap, and the military bosses didn't even blink an eye! In their view, that is a necessary cost for cultivating talented scientists.
but. They didn't expect to receive rewards so quickly - before Mu Xing came up with this plan, no one believed she could do it! Even though she had already taken it out, the Naval Research Institute still argued day and night for a week before this plan came to the current conference table.
Because during the whole quarrel. Mu Xing never came to explain, but they were constantly slapped in the face by the plan - because they were arguing, many parts were understood. Then my face became swollen.
"Tell me about this plan," General Hackett put down the photo in his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly. Things that go beyond the plan always give people a headache, even if they are good things. "I want to know why it gets you so excited."
Several old battleship experts looked at each other, and finally let Professor Xu Zhengze do the talking. Although his technical level is average, he is Mu Xing's adoptive father after all. Even if he says something wrong, no one will laugh at him.
"This is an integrated battleship design plan that is laid out around the core of Mass Effect. No one has ever done this before Mu Xing..." Professor Xu started with this and began his long narration. The three generals listened with glaring eyes. The more they listened, the hotter their hearts became. They wished that this heavy patrol ship would jump off the paper and become a reality!
The talented girl who has been completely silent since moving to the Gagarin Space Station once again came up with something shocking - and this time, the military will never let it leak out!
The first is the application of new technology - short-range wireless power transmission technology (a weakened version of wireless power transmission), which has brought about earth-shaking changes! Because one-fifth of the engineering work to build a cruiser is on the wiring. And Wireless power transmission also improves the battleship's ability to withstand attacks. In the past, battleships were most afraid of flank attacks, because a horizontal wound was likely to paralyze half of the battleship because the main axial distribution line was destroyed.
Short-range wireless power transmission technology will undoubtedly bring changes to the entire world's industrial landscape in the long term. But in the short term, it will definitely be limited to military use, and the first to benefit will definitely be the newly built cruisers and battleships. That's why Lieutenant General Yang is unwilling to have the "Kilimanjaro" - it will be obsolete before it gets off the slipway, that's what I'm talking about!
Then there is the material used in the hull, the nanomaterial "Jupiter 1". There’s nothing to say about this, it’s all tears! After seeing this nanoscale alloy formula, many materials experts plan to change careers from now on! High strength, good heat resistance, and resistance to burning are all cool points, but they are not the main point. The most incredible point is that there is a detailed manufacturing process behind it - it turns out that what is really awesome is the low production process modification cost and production cost...
(As an ally, Cerberus got the formula a month in advance, and their factory has completed the transformation. There is no doubt that they will get the biggest cake in the future.
The six-direction inward force engine (a simplified and improved version of the Destiny Extraordinary Inward Force Engine) only retains the maneuverability in six directions: up, down, left, right, forward, and rear, which is almost equivalent to reducing 75% of the auxiliary functions on the battleship. Thruster.
Then there is the conceptual update - for the first time, a layout centered on the Mass Effect core is proposed. 60% of the systems or equipment on the entire battleship are closely related to the Mass Effect core.
this means. Once the quality core is destroyed, the entire warship is equivalent to being scrapped (although it was similar in the past. But correspondingly, in the past, it was comprehensive protection. Now as long as the quality core is protected, the warship can have sustained combat effectiveness. Because there is no verification of actual warships, It's hard to say which one is better. But from the simplified system, the layout of this battleship is very good.
The last step is the assessment of combat effectiveness. When Professor Xu said, "The new heavy cruiser has a design length of 545 meters. The power of its double-wound main gun will be 70%-115% of that of the Everest-class dreadnought, and the overall battleship combat effectiveness assessment will exceed that of the Everest-class (because of the Star Alliance "The dreadnought battleship mainly uses main guns for decisive battles, and there are very few secondary guns." When this happened, the entire conference room fell silent.
No one objected. But everyone thought of a big problem - the "Farrickson Restriction of Dreadnought Agreement"!
Damn...is this heavy cruiser a dreadnought? Or not a dreadnought? Or not a dreadnought?
The power is more than that of a dreadnought, and the cost is only half of the cost. Everyone seems to think of the explosive heavy patrol - the scene is so beautiful that it makes people want to cry!

"Well, I'm looking forward to Mu Xing's future plans for the dreadnought." Old Man Hackett's words pulled everyone out of their fantasy in time. yes! There will be a new Dreadnought class in the future! Our requirements are not high... against the turian dreadnoughts, one versus five is not too much, right? ! (Don’t overdo it. The era of your sister’s star alliance is finally coming!
"However, there are still many problems with this design!" Old Man Hackett changed his tone and everyone was stunned. The first thought is. Old man, didn't you rise from the rank of Big Head Soldier? Have you forgotten the so-called "civilian general"? When did you, a mere military academy graduate, become a battleship expert again? !
"That's not a problem!" A battleship expert immediately slammed the table! What he said was that on the battleship drawing, there were a lot of comments like "This equipment is handed over to the research institute for design. The required parameters are... Those who can't make it are idiots." Not to mention genius, even a genius cannot design an entire battleship by himself. Mu Xing's approach is to use mature products for all equipment that already has mature designs. She only sets requirements for entrance and exit parameters and volume. If not, ask the institute to figure it out on its own - with a complete set of Asari and Turian information for reference - those who can't design it are really idiots!
Just for this comment, and at the risk of the dignity of the institute, a few old men have to complete the task!
"Oh," General Hackett's old face blushed slightly. We just wanted to change the topic... But he still forced himself to take a closer look, and suddenly, he found a big problem! "What's going on with the captain's room?! The captain only needs a bed with a toilet. When does the captain's room need a banquet?! This is a complete waste of space! I can't agree."
A bed with a toilet, this is really a cruel description - but the captain's cabin of a battleship is basically composed of a bed and a small toilet with a shower.
However, his words made these commanders and guys who had also served as captains notice that it was indeed true! The captain's room is too big! The bedroom alone is enough... 20 square meters? ! Also, when... were the first mate and chief engineer allowed to have separate bedrooms? ! Is this a war or a trip? What a luxury!
"And, and more!" Old Man Hackett kept provoking troubles, "The capacity is less than a hundred people, but there are eight separate dormitories! Do you think our navy soldiers are all big stars?! Do you still need the spirit of a soldier? Huh, the little girl has never been on a warship. She should be allowed to train with a warship for a few months..."
This is completely nitpicking. Although everyone understands that he wants to divert the sensitive topic away... But, old man, don't you think that provoking Mu Xing's design... is actually more sensitive? No one took his words.
Because although General Hackett has a good relationship with Lu Yuan and Mu Xing's siblings, it is in private and others don't know. Now everyone is looking at General Hackett with sympathy, as if your Fifth Fleet is going to be in bad luck - the Second Fleet was canceled by Mu Xing Studio, and the shock has not yet recovered. .
"Ahem," Professor Xu coughed twice and then interjected, "The load balancing of the ship body is an extremely complex calculation process. You know...if this is to be changed, the entire battleship will have to be demolished and restarted... "
"No need, no need!" As soon as he heard that it would be postponed, Lieutenant General Yang, who was about to build a fleet, immediately quit. "I just like the command room where I can roll around! I just like that my soldiers can sleep well and play well! Who doesn't like it? His cabin has been converted into a toilet!"
"You don't need so many toilets..." Old Hackett muttered after being pushed back, "Just change the material warehouse into..."
So, this matter was let go.
At this time, Hackett picked up the photo at hand again, his head started to hurt again, "Now, let's discuss this..."
This photo was taken from the Nirvana 4 satellite of the Utopia galaxy. From the photo, you can clearly see that in the orbital space, thousands of robots are building a 3 kilometers long and several hundred meters in diameter. Main gun!
This was the big trouble that Mu Xing's production license caused in Lu Yuan's hands - this caliber, this size... made several commanders simply think about it. Is this going to kill fried rice with one shot?
Even though it’s impossible, I really want to install it on my flagship!

ps: It seems that I have been writing too much about battleships recently. I’d better focus on the plot in the future, otherwise I won’t be able to stop at all. (To be continued.
