After receiving point support from Edward, Yang Tianyi finally collected the one million points needed to repair a frigate. After instructing the commander of the remaining troops to protect the scientists studying the abyss portal, he couldn't wait to come to the starship docking place in the star world, raised his hand and used the power of the system on a frigate in the best condition.
The workers at the starship berth are all robots. They usually polish and polish the hull of the battleship when they have nothing to do. They use nanotechnology to repair some damage within their capabilities, thus reducing the maintenance cost of one million points by several thousand points. It was an unexpected surprise.
"The frigate is under maintenance..."
Mild and rich milky white light gushes out from the palm of his hand, flowing along the surface of the frigate slowly from bottom to top like water, from the outside to the inside. Wherever the "water flow" passed, the damaged armor or broken lines were instantly restored to their best condition, the crumbling gun barrel became strong again, and the dilapidated captain's chair also glowed with bright colors again.
The repair process lasted for a full ten minutes. During this period, Yang Tianyi kept his eyes fixed on the frigate, which he regarded as a treasure, and did not dare to relax at all.
Because this is not only the foundation for Qunxing Group to move from a planetary enterprise to an interstellar enterprise, but also the key to opening a new era of Elysian Space.
"Repair completed! The relevant technology has been added to the database."
As the sweet voice of the system sounded in the ears, a series of brand-new technologies were announced one by one by the system like the names of dishes.
In the game, a battleship is mainly composed of eight parts: ship-borne weapons, armor, shields, reactors, hyperspace engines, sublight thrusters, reconnaissance sensors and combat computers.
Although reality is definitely much more complicated than the game, in general these aspects do form the basis of a battleship.
This frigate obtained from the Quavarian nomads can be called a garbage among garbage. Not only is it lacking in the armor that should be solid and reliable, but the deflection shield generator is also a castrated version with artificially lowered power. , perhaps an old antique dug out of an unknown starship graveyard.
The ship's weapons are unremarkable except for a few ordinary double-barreled large-caliber mass projectors as the main guns. It extremely lacks professional point defense systems and secondary weapons. It belongs to the standard fleet decisive battle frigate.
This type of warship aims to project the maximum firepower in the shortest time, without considering its own defense at all. However, due to its small size and flexible movement, it can effectively avoid enemy fire and greatly reduce the damage it takes.
Of course, even so, only a true brave (a lunatic who is not afraid of death) can control this battleship (launch a suicide attack).
These three frigates were the decoy ships used by the Quavarian tribe to attract the firepower of the opponent's large warships during the battle with another group of nomads. Fortunately, they were not blown up by electromagnetic guns, lasers or missiles during the brutal battleship bombardment. fragments, and also used the remaining heat to bring a powerful robot army to the former owner.
Fortunately, the performance of the rest of the components on the battleship is pretty good. The fission reactor, the lowest-level hyperspace engine, the chemical thruster, and the radar system all barely reach the average level for entering the star sea for the first time. The only fly in the ointment is that the combat computer was disassembled by the Quavarian tribe, or she never loaded the combat computer at all.
Looking up at the mass projector barrel standing on the battleship turret, Yang Tianyi, who had already made plans to modify it, slightly raised the corners of his mouth - he couldn't wait to lay hands on the "beauty" in front of him.
Thanks to the scientific research department's continuous analysis and upgrade of the electromagnetic coil machine gun, the electromagnetic coil gun, which is more powerful than the mass projector, is already in the experimental stage and can be put into production at any time as long as a suitable firepower platform is available to carry it.
The problem of too small deflection shield power can also be solved through system optimization, not to mention the swarm missiles that restrain point defense and the red laser point defense cannon that is professional for point defense.
In order to balance the role of the battleship in the game, the weapon parts that a starship can carry are greatly reduced.
A two-hundred-meter-long battleship only has a few double-barreled electromagnetic guns in terms of firepower?
Unacceptable!
As the first batch of regular starships of the Stellaris Group Navy (SGN), Yang Tianyi hopes to be the best in both spear and shield.
This preferably includes but is not limited to the strongest nano-armor, power output adjusted to the best deflection shield, new electromagnetic coil gun, etc.
Although it has to lag behind the civilized empires in the middle and upper reaches of the Milky Way in terms of technology due to various reasons, the quality must be excellent! Wouldn't it make people laugh if the frigates they worked so hard to transform couldn't even defeat pirate ships?
As for the technology card in his hand, Yang Tianyi also thought about which technology to use it on.
Nuclear fusion!
He wants to use this precious technology card to upgrade the group's existing fission technology to controllable fusion technology. Unlike simply adding ship energy components and increasing the energy storage limit in the game, controllable fusion technology can bring benefits to the group. The benefits are immeasurable.
This not only means that there is no longer a problem with the production of super-large-yield nuclear warheads that have troubled the group for a long time, but the Navy will also not have to worry about the lack of energy in the weapons and shields of the warships due to fierce battles in the future.
The endless energy that comes with it alone is enough to set off an earth-shaking wave in the world of Elysium and completely change the pattern of the world.
And with fusion energy at the back, many costly scientific research projects can be put on the agenda instead of just sitting quietly in archives and databases gathering dust. I just don’t know if the directors of the scientific research department will have a heart attack when they see fusion technology being taken out like worthless cabbage.
The answer is of course no, because they have all used the medical cabin to eliminate all hidden dangers in the body and extend their lifespan. In return, they will devote themselves to scientific research work with the greatest energy and enthusiasm, shining for their benevolent bosses and Star Group.
Walking alone in the wide corridor of the frigate, Yang Tianyi spent several minutes walking all the way from the boarding entrance to the bridge, looking up through the huge windows at the bright starry sky that was rarely seen in Fenhabennis.
In addition to the bridge, which has a good view but is extremely vulnerable to attack, there is also a battle command room inside the frigate that is protected by heavy armor. When a battle occurs, the captain and a group of naval officers will immediately go to the command room to take command, instead of being exposed on the external bridge and allowing the enemy to launch a decapitation strike.
In order to ensure that fleet members who need to perform long-term missions outside do not suffer from claustrophobia, an external bridge that can always appreciate the vast starry sky is still necessary.
Just like Yang Tianyi who is now full of joy, he can't wait to live the addiction of a starship captain.
"Ah, it's so comfortable!"
Sitting on the soft captain's throne, Yang Tianyi traced the spotless leather armrest with his left fingertips, and straightened the solemn and gorgeous leader's badge on his chest with his right hand.
"Upload the 'Star Hub' program and start the SGN-1 frigate status self-check."
Uploading the main program of the Star Hub to the frigate's computer through voice command, Yang Tianyi comfortably put his legs on the command platform in front of the seat and carefully looked at what interesting technologies he had obtained on the frigate.
"Mass projectors, a branch of propulsive mechanics in engineering."
"This type of electromagnetic projectile uses magnets to spin-accelerate special armor-piercing projectiles to extremely high speeds, which are enough to penetrate any weak spot on light ships of the same level with one shot. The speed gives it unparalleled huge kinetic energy, making it an overloaded enemy A good player with shields, but unfortunately a little short on armor damage.”
"Nanocomposites, a branch of materials science in the field of engineering."
"Reinforced nanocomposite armor plates can effectively enhance the hull defense and prevent your precious warship from being destroyed by a single shot. Please do not skimp on the alloy required for the armor. After all, any slight advantage between us and the enemy on the battlefield is enough to determine life and death. .”
"Deflection shield, a branch of force field manipulation in the field of physics."
"This kind of deflection barrier constructed using pure energy can neutralize a considerable portion of enemy firepower before it is overloaded, but please remember that only sufficient energy supply will prevent it from retreating early."
"Chemical thrusters, a branch of propulsion mechanics in engineering."
"Simple and effective chemical energy thrusters rely on professional combustible propellants to maintain operation. When necessary, wood, coal, and fuel are all available."
"Shipborne radar system, a branch of computing technology in the field of physics."
"Created on planets and used in deep space. The radar system can provide the most basic detection and tracking data for spacecraft sailing between stars. In order to prevent your crew from getting lost in the vast sea of stars, don't forget to remind them at all times Make sure the radar system is on."
"Hyperspace travel, a branch of particle physics in the field of physics."
"Like threads on a spider's web, other dimensions of multidimensional space move between the gravity wells of most stars. Between these natural hyperspace lanes, with the right engines, your ship can theoretically hyperspace. Moving at the speed of light.”
After the main program of the Star Hub was loaded and started to check the status of the frigate, a new technology was added to the list of technologies listed in the system.
"Basic combat computer, a branch of computing technology in the field of physics."
"This ship already has a basic combat computer with powerful computing power. It can actively debug the matrix according to specific tasks and orders issued by the commander, making the battle twice the result with half the effort. Maybe it is not as good as many artificial intelligences, but it is better than nothing. , isn’t it?”
"Xingshu?" Yang Tianyi asked softly, tentatively: "Are you there?"
As the sound echoed in the empty bridge hall, the blue light strips on the walls and dome lit up one by one, and a large amount of codes and data began to pass through all the console screens at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
"I'm here, boss."
A soft voice came from the podium in front of Yang Tianyi, and a female holographic projection whose face could not be seen clearly but with an extremely graceful figure stood up from the screen and bowed deeply to him.
"The starry sky is beautiful tonight, isn't it?"
Yang Tianyi's soft eyes fell on Xingshu, thinking about when it would become "her" when it was not yet a strong artificial intelligence.
"It's indeed beautiful, boss. Do you need me to let the SGN-1 frigate take off?"
"Um......"
"Command confirmed, thruster ignition program started. Countdown, three, two, one, ignition."
"Boom boom boom..."
For the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the settlements controlled by the Star Group, the huge roar was destined to be a sleepless night.
Witnessed by countless men and women who were awakened from their sleep, as the square chemical propeller at the tail of the hull ejected a dazzling orange-red tail flame, the surging power provided by the propellant and fission reactor propelled the SGN-1 frigate It plunged straight into the dark night sky, leaving only scratched clouds and air twisted by the high temperature of the tail flame.
After turning on the sublight speed cruise mode of the frigate and maintaining it for fifteen minutes, the first flight of the SGN-1 frigate was declared a success.
