It is also very difficult to defeat the federal fleet. At least Li Ruobai and the girl feel that it will not be as easy as Chu Jungui said. After all, they don't even have a decent starship on hand now, only a transportation engineering ship that travels between orbits.
Li Ruobai opened his personal terminal and said: "Since we want to build a starship, the problem we are facing now is weapons. There is only one main gun, and now it is gone. What we have on hand is the destroyer's 8 secondary guns, and their combat power index is About 20, which is equivalent to half of the lightly protected main gun. Apart from this, we have no other readily available weapons. In terms of engines, there is still a main engine available, which we originally planned to sell for military merit. Posture Engines Two Federation frigate engines are available.”
Li Ruobai brought up another chart and said: "If you want to redeem weapons, you need military merit and funds. Our Lightyear Corps currently has 250 military merit points, which is slightly insufficient to exchange for a destroyer main gun. A normal destroyer main gun The combat power index is between 200-300, and the corresponding exchange rate for military merit is 400-600. However, this is the usual price, and the Ninth Fleet is also very short of supplies now. Even if it is open to exchange, I am afraid it will be much more expensive."
Chu Jungui said thoughtfully: "Where to buy it?"
"The cheapest main gun costs about 50 million, which doesn't sound expensive, but that's the usual price. Also, Jun Gui, you haven't paid off the money you owe now, have you?"
"The principal has been repaid 100 million. Currently, 5.3 billion is still owed."
"That's it. Based on the extent of your debt, I'm afraid no one would dare to give you credit. Even if there is a sufficient reason for this kind of thing, the follow-up audit afterwards is enough to make people drink."
Li Ruobai analyzed calmly and was indifferent to the huge debt of the test subject, but the girl gasped at the side and looked at Chu Chujungui with eyes filled with disbelief.
"Didn't we exchange supplies before?"
Li Ruobai said: "That's because we took a side shot and used barter to bypass the fleet's payment system. In this way, even if we trace it later, there will be no problem. But the starship's weapon system is not Likewise, this is a controlled substance everywhere, and no one can circumvent the payment system, let alone you and me. So unless we pay back the money first, it may be difficult to get the main weapon."
The girl said at this time: "Even if the Ninth Fleet is willing to sell, they probably have nothing to sell."
Li Ruobai also agreed that at this time, the starship's main gun was the scarcest resource, and even a single part was unlikely to be leaked out.
As a result, all roads seem to be blocked.
At this time, Kaitian cast a beam of light and said, "Aren't there a lot of main guns? Why don't we go get them?"
"Where?" Li Ruobai asked.
"On an enemy starship."
Li Ruobai glared at Kaitian angrily, but Chu Jungui's eyes lit up and he said, "It makes sense."
"There's a reason. They won't just stand there and get beaten." Li Ruobai said.
Chu Jungui looked at the girl, "Can you crack the federal weapon system?"
The girl said: "It's difficult."
Li Ruobai said: "Why do we need to crack it? Can't we just dismantle it and make a new control system?"
The girl's eyes lit up and she said, "That's okay!"
Chu Jungui pondered for a moment, and a new design drawing was completed and thrown in front of everyone: "This is our new starship."
When he saw the design drawing, Li Ruobai was startled and said, "Are you serious?"
Chu Jungui said seriously: "It can be used."
Two days later, at the orbital assembly point, a new starship gradually took shape. This starship is only 50 meters long and has returned to the size of a space fighter. The back half of the starship is almost occupied by a huge engine, surrounded by a circle of attitude engines, and the power furnace is filled in every gap. The space available for riding is still small, but this time Chu Jungui installed a thick armor plate outside the cockpit, which has the highest degree of protection in the entire spacecraft.
The kindness from Chu Jungui did not make Li Ruobai feel relaxed, but made him even more nervous. Based on his understanding of Chu Jungui, this guy would never waste an inch of material on unnecessary parts. If the cockpit is armored, it is probably to use this part for something, such as blocking a cannon or something.
In front of the starship is a cone, protected by a thick shell.
After the new starship completed its self-examination, Chu Jungui sailed towards the other side of the planet. Li Ruobai had known his habit for a long time. After the starship was built, he would go into battle. As for testing and rest, they don’t exist.
After flying around the planet for a short half circle, there was no sign of the Federation starship. Chu Jungui also became cautious, slowed down, and lowered his altitude, almost flying close to the storm clouds.
After flying like this for a while, Kaitian suddenly issued a warning: "Federation starship discovered!"
In the distant sky, a Federation starship was hovering quietly. Judging from the appearance, it should be a frigate.
"It's not a light escort, it's a bit troublesome." When Li Ruobai saw the appearance data, he knew it was a frigate with enhanced armored firepower. When they got closer, the image provided by Kaitian became clearer, and it could be seen that this was a patrol ship with enhanced armor.
Li Ruobai looked at Chu Jungui and asked, "What should I do? The shell is a bit thick! Can our eight small cannons do it?"
Chu Jungui pushed hard, and the starship shot out like an arrow, heading straight towards the patrol ship in the air. He rushed while saying: "It doesn't matter if the shell is thick, just cut it slowly!"
This time Chu Jungui did not approach slowly, but directly took the shortest route and almost pounced on his opponent head-on. Such a bold move naturally attracted the attention of his opponent. The patrol ship immediately took action and turned this way. The main gun locked on the target and began to charge.
The protective shell at the front of the Chu Jungui starship opened, revealing eight destroyer secondary guns. These secondary guns are arranged in a circle and are all placed on the bow of the ship. The secondary battery is much less powerful, but also charges and prepares much faster. The patrol ship's main gun had just begun to charge, and Chu Jungui had already blasted it!
A small cloud of high-energy particles hit the frigate's bow, blasting a small crater in the armor's surface.
The captain of the patrol ship was shocked at first. When he saw the damage data, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Such a weak cannon dares to charge upwards? I thought it was something, but it was just a bigger fighter... ah??"
After one shot from the opposite side, he suddenly fired seven shots in a row! Moreover, the seven groups of high-energy particles were almost connected in a line from front to back, and they all bombarded the same armor plate!
The patrol ship's hull shook, and a one-meter-square armor plate detached from the hull and flew into space, revealing the real hull armor layer underneath.
Chu Jungui fired again. This time, he no longer needed to fire one shot to locate the enemy. Instead, he fired eight shots directly in a line, and peeled off another armor plate.
After two consecutive rounds of bombardment, the patrol ship was finally able to fight back. The main gun roared and fired a ball of high-energy particles towards Chu Jungui's starship. However, although high-energy particles are fast, it takes nearly a second to travel across a range of tens of kilometers. When the muzzle of the cannon spewed energy light, Chu Jungui had already begun to evade and easily dodged the shot.
When the patrol ship's main gun was recharged, Chu Jungui started firing eight guns again, patiently peeling off the shells square meter by square meter.
