In the Citadel Convention formulated that year, a large number of hundreds of types of weapons were banned - from individual weapon cracking warheads to high-yield anti-matter weapons... it can be said to be all-encompassing! So you often only see mass effect cannons in this world - except for mass effect cannons, which is actually not surprising - because most weapon types are banned for one reason or another! These include many very useful types.
In fact... God knows how many of the covenants made in the Citadel affected by the "catalyst" are beneficial to civilized races, and how many are beneficial to the invasion of reapers? ! This kind of discovery after the fact... "It turned out to be the hole dug for us by the reapers" is something that is played out every day in TV dramas now.
So all this is nonsense to Lu Yuan - the main reason for making the new ship into the style of a cruise ship is not the Citadel Convention, but the primary goal of this ship is to be as comfortable as possible - because it is a cruise ship.
The world is so big and I want to see it. You must know that nearly six years have passed since everyone on the Dawn entered this world, and most of the time they lived on this mothership. Before that, just to lay a good foundation, I spent a full 20 years in a different world!
As the captain, Lu Yuan has to think about his crew. Therefore, before the plot officially begins, he plans to drive this luxurious cruise ship and carry his crew around the galaxy in batches, at least to visit the top ten places in the galaxy such as the legendary Red Stone Planet and Blue Sea June. See all the beautiful scenery.
*****
The main body of the spaceship has been completely built, a beautiful golden, translucent ship. Standing on the dock. There was a huge canvas that covered the entire side of the spacecraft. Lu Yuan handed the detonator to Nana's hand, indicating that she, the main god, would unveil it.
"Eh? Why me?" Nana, have you forgotten your status as the main god because you have been dawdling for too long?
Alona looked around with the detonator in her hand and pressed the green button in the middle without hesitation!
"Bang bang~bang bang~", followed by a rhythmic slight explosion. Pushing upwards, the rope nodes holding the canvas in place were exploded! In the smoke raised by the explosion. More shining fragments poured down from the ceiling of the dock, floating downwards in a flourishing manner. "Wow~!" A bunch of naughty kids jumped, watching the huge canvas slide from the side of the hull, revealing the engraved surface on the right side of the alloy hull. That brilliant dark gold pattern font!
"New Elona" - This ship is once again named after Elona to commemorate the legendary battleship that disintegrated with the Kingdom of God, the "Elona"...
The crescent shape of the new ship is very beautiful (eve's Emma Prophecy class is described as the "Queen's Mask"). However, if calculated in terms of size, after completion, the hull including the antenna will be as high as 560 meters, which is equivalent to the size of a star. An ordinary cruiser of the United States.
However, because the hull is distributed vertically, it is very different from the traditional one, with a transparent front armor plate. Make the interior of the cruise ship visible at a glance. There is no device on the entire battleship that reminds people of a powerful main gun - so apart from looking luxurious and gorgeous, it does not give people much sense of threat.
And the three movable transparent armor plates can cover two-thirds of the front of the ship on each side. It gives people a feeling like a gorgeous work of art. When the armor plate starts to move, it always attracts the attention of countless viewers - the light and shadow switching between dark gold and aqua white when sliding is simply gorgeous! However, I am afraid that everyone will sneer at the protective power of this ship! Can armor plates with each layer less than ten centimeters thick stop Shenma? I'm afraid the Graytip Shark's main gun can directly penetrate it...
This is the first impression given by Lu Yuan's exclusive battleship, "New Alona".
The design of the new ship copied a large number of Mona people's technology. After all, in terms of battleship technology. The Monars would transcend the Mass Effect world for several generations. If it weren't for the wonderful substance "Element Zero" in this world, I'm afraid there would be no comparison between the two sides.
Mona people's accessories are standardized and modular. Also affected the New Aerona and other battleships. After the main body of the ship is completed, there are still 12 shield loading points, 20 weapon loading points (10 on the left and right sides, and 8 rear device loading points) on the outside of the ship - as well as a large number of flexible peripheral devices.
——————
However, based on the current situation of the Mass Effect world (the "Catalyst" has castrated countless attack methods, almost only two methods of defense are needed to defend against mass effect cannons and laser cannons. Therefore, a shield generator to defend against lasers is installed, and a kinetic energy barrier is Provided by Ship Core.
——————
There are 10 weapon loading points on each side of the ship, which can support turrets, missiles, rocket nests, torpedo tubes, main guns... and other weapon launchers. Almost all of these equipments have been designed by Dawn Mothership as series products! Because the Dawn's enemies are not only the Reapers, but more importantly, the Mona people. Therefore, the offensive performance of future warships must be diverse and three-dimensional!
For example, the most powerful warship currently designed by the Dawn Mothership, the "Dawn-class" dreadnought, in addition to two super mass effect main guns, also has 400 particle guard cannons, 52 missile launchers, and the ability to release heavy torpedoes, micro Black holes, mass effect field waves and other attack methods!
The special mine-laying ship can even use air mines to block the airspace of an astronomical unit within five minutes...
Talking back to the "New Aerona", small weapons such as guard turrets, missile launchers, etc. can only occupy one weapons loading point.
But it is a large weapon that consumes a lot of energy when launched. For example, the main gun needs to occupy three weapon loading points! In addition, during the non-combat phase. The loading points can also be used for other purposes - such as installing powerful searchlights during spacecraft exploration, or setting up cameras when traveling... However, currently the "New Aerona" only has four twin-engine defensive turrets installed on each side. The Protheans' particle weapon cannon.
Particle weapons are a unique thermal weapon system of the Protheans, which played a great role in the war against the Reapers.
Most of the beacons obtained by the Dawn contained Prothean technologies related to environmental transformation. There are not many weapons and battleships. Especially the Prothean particle rifle was not found, which made Lu Yuan feel quite regretful. We can only wait until the last Prothean is dug out in the future. Fortunately, during the mining part, I accidentally discovered the method of making particle cannons.
Based on the new particle cannon technology, Mu Xing led scientists to conduct research and analysis, and soon launched the fifth-generation gardian system - a powerful particle beam cannon. It can effectively reduce the blocking ability of kinetic energy barriers to about 80%!
This means that most of the current warships in the galaxy are almost undefended under this kind of bombardment...
Other weapons, such as the giant supply boxes hanging in the folding space, collided with a large number of missiles and disposable torpedo launch tubes, have just not been installed yet.
——————
Finally, there are 8 device loading points on the rear side of the spacecraft, which will provide a richer device combination for the "New Aerona".
For example, the main power of the spacecraft is the "Tantaros" system. But if you want to further improve the acceleration and seaworthiness performance, you can also occupy 6 more device loading points on the rear side. as an engine interface.
In normal times, only three small military anti-matter engines need to be installed, which is enough for travel. When necessary. You can use one medium-sized anti-matter engine (occupying three interfaces + three small anti-matter engines to provide great acceleration instantly! In extreme cases, the combination of dual medium-sized anti-matter engines can instantly transform the spacecraft into a roaring beast!
As for military engines and antimatter, it is just a piece of cake for Dawn, which has now become a vague force in the galaxy. Only in the name of test ship and "scrap engine". No one comes back to mind their own business.
In addition, the device loading points backwards. You can also install a decoy launcher to defend against missile pursuit, or a lightning catapult (throwing air mines backwards to attack those who follow you, which is very insidious).

"Do you want to come on board the ship for a visit?" Lu Yuan reluctantly extended the invitation, but squinted at the naughty kids. He didn't want his boat to explode on the dock before it was even launched.
But "I want it! I want it!" A group of relatives and friends, whether they were naughty children or not, were jumping and shouting, which made his fantasy aborted and he could only grit his teeth and invite the naughty children on board.
Because it is a cruise ship, there are two boarding gates at the bottom and the middle behind the spacecraft. One is for pedestrian traffic, and the other is the ejection port for fighter planes and tanks. The "New Aerona" carries two aerospace fighters and two Graytip Shark tanks, and heavy gunboats can also be parked on the top viewing platform.
When walking up the gangway, Nana, who was holding Lu Yuan's arm, suddenly asked, "A Yuan, is this ship really not equipped with a main gun? It doesn't look like what A Yuan would do..."
"Of course!" Lu Yuan said cheerfully, "Without the main gun... can it still be called a spaceship?!"
He snapped his fingers into the air with his right hand——
A transparent light appeared on the right side of the ship's hull, and it began to "paint" quickly!
The holographic technology obtained from the Mona people, after seeing it up close now, is far more thrilling than what I saw on the battlefield in the past! Just before a few people could break away from that beautiful sight, a golden main gun appeared on the right side of the battleship, occupying three weapon loading points!
The new main gun is five hundred meters long, pointing straight ahead like a cavalry spear! The "New Aerona" temporarily gave up the mass effect cannon, whether it was a linear acceleration type or a spiral acceleration type. Her first main gun is a battleship main gun captured from the Mona people - the "Ion Stasis Cannon"!
Four parallel lines are etched on the side of the arrogant golden barrel! Then there is a line of huge fonts intersecting with the lines - "Golden Saber"! (To be continued)
