305. Development of civilization (Part 2)
In addition, in order to expand the army's weapons arsenal, three individual weapons have also been developed and added to the army's equipment arsenal. Including the M-5 Phalanx pistol (Phalanx) and the M-29 Mantis sniper rifle, these are all weapons in "Mass Effect". In addition, in order to make up for the lack of anti-armor firepower, the scientific research team also specially developed the M-41 SSR twin rocket launcher.
The M-41 SSR twin rocket launcher is a product in the technology tree of "Halo". It can launch 102mm caliber HEAT shaped armor-piercing projectiles, which can cause devastating blows to armored units. Moreover, it can launch two rockets at one time, so it can better attack targets that are difficult to destroy.
The only drawback is that this rocket launcher is a bit bulky. Basically, after carrying this rocket launcher, you can only carry 6 spare rockets and a pistol for self-defense.
In addition, several armored vehicles from Tyran Heavy Industries have also begun production, mainly including the Vulture Chariot and Giant Mecha in "StarCraft".
The performance of the Vulture Chariot is much better than that of the SATP individual weapon platform commonly used in the "Star Wars" world, which is a vehicle similar to a hoverbike. Although its flexibility is slightly inferior, its maximum speed and firepower exceed the latter.
The reference for the Giant Mecha should be the AT-RT all-terrain combat platform recently being developed by the Galactic Republic. It is also a bipedal mecha. The Giant Mecha, which is only 4.8 meters tall, is smaller than the AT-RT and has less ground firepower. Much weaker. However, the Giant Mecha has very powerful anti-air capabilities, precise fire control and enemy locking systems, and excellent Hellfire long-range scatter missiles, making it a nightmare for all air units.
With the gradual installation of these equipment, the Army of the Fourth Civilization has also expanded to the level of 10,000 troops. Of course, the actual establishment is much larger, such as the 1.9 million B-1 combat robots and 100,000 B-2 super combat robots that are mothballed. The real establishment is also in the army sequence.
Not to mention the fourth legion that Tang Xiao secretly established, 4TH.!
Of course, Army Commander Xiao Guanghua doesn’t know these things. What makes him even more delighted now is another piece of equipment——
Banshee fighter!
This is a dedicated intra-atmospheric fighter using a turbine ducted engine. It is also a product of Tyran Heavy Industries. It is one of the technology trees of "StarCraft" and is currently undergoing test flights. Once the Banshee fighter enters active service, the Army of the Fourth Civilization will It will initially have an all-round strike capability integrating air and ground.
In terms of space battleships, although the construction and research and development of large-scale battleships have been temporarily suspended, technical reserves have never stopped. In order to mass-produce the TEC warships in "Sins of a Solar Empire" in the future, the scientific research department has been studying the technology of this technology tree, and some small warships have also completed research and development and joined the fourth civilization navy.
The first are two types of light frigates, namely the stilat class Corvette and the Shriken class corvette.
In fact, generally speaking, these two light frigates are the same model, but they are equipped with completely different weapons.
These two types of light frigates are 35 meters long, have a crew of 10, and are equipped with two laser cannons, two small close-range anti-aircraft guns and a missile launcher. Their firepower can be said to be very powerful.
And they are also equipped with special weapons. The Spear-class light frigate can destroy the molecular structure of the target's armor, making the target's armor more fragile, while the Rogue-class light frigate can affect the output power of the opponent's engine, reducing the speed of the hit spacecraft.
However, this is ineffective against shields, so it can only be effective after destroying the target's shield. Although the effect is much smaller, these two spacecrafts have a very big advantage.
First of all, although the Spear-class and the Rough-class are called light frigates, they actually sacrifice their combat capabilities in the atmosphere to make their maneuverability unimaginably powerful! Even comparable to a fighter jet!
This is also the characteristic of the emergency trader alliance TEC's spaceship in "Sins of a Solar Empire" - it is extremely maneuverable.
Therefore, the Spear-class and the Rough-class have become monsters that cannot be defeated by fighter jets, cannot be caught up by frigates, and whose close-range firepower may not be able to break through defenses! And these two types of light frigates can even fit into the hangar of a large aircraft carrier!
In actual combat, these two types of light frigates will be able to approach the opponent's large warship under the cover of fighter jets, and then give the opponent a fatal blow! You must know that in fleet battles, the shields of large warships on both sides sometimes do not cover the entire warship at all times in order to fully utilize their firepower.
You must know that in the in-game performance and settings of "Sins of a Solar Empire", the Rogue class and the Spear class exist as early-stage battleship killers!
According to the future fourth civilization's space combat doctrine with aircraft carriers as the core, the Spear-class and Ranghan-class light frigates can be said to be a perfect fit. As long as they are attached to and entangled by them, the opponent's battleship will soon fall into a desperate situation where it can't run or fight, and its own armor will become very fragile!
It can be said that if the current imaginary enemy, the Galactic Republic, continues to use the Jaeger-class battlecruisers to conduct single-arm formation operations in the future according to its past habits, then the Rogue-class and Spear-class light frigates can really teach them how to behave!
In addition, the Fourth Civilization also has two other small warships joining active service-the Javelin-class heavy missile frigate and the Valkyrie-class light missile frigate.
The Javelin-class heavy missile frigate is also the TEC spacecraft in "Original Sins of a Solar Empire". This heavy missile frigate is 65 meters long and has a crew of 20. In addition to a laser cannon for self-defense, its main equipment is two large Long range missile launcher.
The Scientific Research Department of the Fourth Civilization also equipped the Javelin-class heavy missile frigate with a powerful fusion nuclear missile. This is not only a nuclear warhead, but the engine of this missile is also a nuclear fusion engine ("Stars" level 2 missile)! This allows the acceleration of this missile to even reach over 1000G, and its maximum range exceeds 10 light minutes. Of course, there is basically no threat at this distance and it will be easily intercepted.
This heavy missile frigate is also a capital ship killer. The powerful fusion nuclear missiles perform saturation fire. The Jaeger-class battlecruiser, the capital ship of the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, simply could not withstand it.
The Valkyrie light missile frigate is a product of "StarCraft". It is a small warship 33 meters long and 13 meters high. However, this kind of warship can enter the atmosphere and fight, coupled with the powerful fire coverage of powerful cluster missiles, allowing them to face the opponent's fighter formations or the opponent's ground clusters with ease.
However, the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of guided missile frigates are very obvious. The Javelin class is slow and has thin armor and shields; the Valkyrie class has heavy armor, but is slower, and is basically a bulky firepower platform.
The weapons and equipment of the fourth civilization are all like this, with obvious advantages and disadvantages, but if multiple arms cooperate, it will explode with terrifying power!
This is also Tang Xiao's trump card in preparing to compete with Galaxy!

There are a lot of equipments appearing in this chapter, so I will put two of them first and then add them slowly.
