858. Equal Trial (Part 2)
"Infinite-class super aircraft carrier!" Newt Gunray's eyes almost burst into flames. "This is... this is the complete design blueprint! If this thing is put on the black market... No, the people at Quat Power Shipyard will definitely I’m willing to spend trillions of credits to buy this thing!”
"This is the power of knowledge, Newt Gunray. Now, I hand over the power of the Eye of God to you... You will hold this powerful power in your hands to defeat the Galactic Republic and defeat Darth Sidious, And more importantly, it is to defeat your fear! That's right...this is the power of knowledge!" Darth Malthael's smile was a little ferocious.
Everyone present looked at the data displayed in this memory...
The Endless-class super aircraft carrier has a length of 5,694.2 meters, a maximum width of 833.3 meters, a maximum height of 1,041.2 meters, and a standard mass of 907 million tons... It can carry individual atmospheric assault pods, various tank armor units, a large number of fighter jets, and even 10 ships Heavy frigate!
There is no doubt that this is an extremely powerful battleship!
This battleship is equivalent to a fleet, plus a powerful mechanized army!
The eyes of everyone present changed. You must know that the design of such a super battleship has always been the patent of super industrial giants such as Kuat Power Shipyard, and the development cost of such a battleship is conservatively estimated to be in the thousands. Billions of credits!
Even though the Trade Federation and the Interstellar Banking Association are so rich, they still cannot design such a warship.
For example, the Trade Federation's Rookery Hook-class battleships were converted from cargo ships. They are said to be battleships, but they cannot be rivals of professional battleships. As for the Shenyi-class destroyer, before the outbreak of the war, they spent a huge amount of money to have it designed by Rendili Interstellar Power Company.
As for Rendili, they just took out the original upgrade plan for the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser and modified it to become the Divine-class, which almost made the Trade Federation kneel down to get it.
But in fact, the Shenyi-class destroyer is not a qualified battleship. Because although this kind of battleship is indeed very powerful, the ratio between its power and cost is extremely low. In other words, you spend more money, but what you get is a ship that is not much better than the Jaeger class. Battleship.
This is a typical way to fool the wealthy - giving you the most expensive everything, but not the best, so there is no guarantee.
The Interstellar Banking Association is even more miserable. They can't replace a Generosity-class communication frigate. It's not that they don't want to replace this junk warship with extremely low combat effectiveness and high cost, but because they simply can't afford it. More excellent battleship designs will come out.
The reason why the Generosity class was so arrogant before the war was because the Chartered Interstellar Banking Association of the Galactic Republic owned this 825-meter large battleship. Compared with the small warships of other organizations and enterprises that are no more than 200 meters long, it is naturally a dimensionality reduction blow, but this cannot cover up the fact that the Fengyang class is garbage.
In the original plot, the richest organization in the galaxy, such as the Interstellar Banking Association, has been unable to come up with any new type of warship to replace the Generosity class, which can only be said to be a tragedy.
It can be seen how precious the complete battleship design is. This is really something you can't buy with money.
And now, Darth Malthael actually came up with the design of such a battleship, which is a super battleship with a height of more than 5,000 meters!
Knowledge is power, and at this moment, it is most vividly demonstrated.
It was this that completely overwhelmed everyone present. These big guys who could shake the galaxy with just a stomp of their feet, now looked at Darth Malthael and the roar of the scale sign in the middle. Their eyes had completely changed. Changed!
That is a kind of crazy worship and fanaticism!
Darth Malthael wants this effect! This is much better than directly selling these technologies with a clear price tag! He doesn’t sell it, he gives it away! No, it’s not a gift, it’s a gift!
What you give away is technology, but what you receive is something even more precious...
Belief.
Darth Malthael's choice to hand over the Infinity-class super aircraft carrier to the Trade Alliance was also well thought out.
First of all, only the wealthy Trade Alliance has the ability to build a costly and luxurious warship like the Endless. If this thing were left to the current Fourth Civilization to build, it would go bankrupt in a matter of minutes.
Secondly, what is most lacking in the Trade Federation and even the entire Federation of Independent Systems is the projection of land power, especially when the fleets of both sides are in balance, or even when one's own side is at a disadvantage, forcibly breaking through the defenses of outer space and sending the marines to The ability to enter the planet's atmosphere.
And this is what the Endless-class super aircraft carrier is best at.
It should be pointed out that before this, the fleet of the Confederation of Independent Systems actually played this role not with Rookery Hook-class battleships, but with Diamond-class transport cruisers.
The Rookery Hook-class battleship is too bulky. To break through the atmospheric defenses, ground troops must be transferred through the C-9979 transport ship, which is extremely inefficient.
Although the Diamond class can play the role of direct penetration, it is too small after all. It is only a fan-shaped hull with a diameter of about 200 meters, and its carrying capacity is limited.
Therefore, due to such shortcomings, in the later period of the Clone Wars in the original plot, you rarely see Rookery Hook-class battleships and Diamond-class transport cruisers on the battlefield.
The former is because they have no longer adapted to the needs of war, and the latter is because basically all of them have been shot down and there are not many left.
In the later stages of the war, the Confederacy of Independent Systems could only rely on the Divine Will-class destroyers to carry transport cabins to deliver army troops. However, due to the cost and limited transportation capacity of the Divine Will-class destroyers, the Confederacy's army forces were exposed to more and more clone armies. Defeated steadily.
Therefore, the Endless-class super aircraft carrier is just a timely help!
And the last reason is that this super aircraft carrier is exaggerated and shocking enough. If we just come up with designs such as the more cost-effective Orion-class assault aircraft carrier, it will not have the effect of shocking everyone present.
Darth Malthael knows very well that although several people here have terrible resources, whether it is Thunbark Tula, Newt Gunray, or Thorn Hill, they are actually brave. Little cowards.
Among them, maybe Thunback-Tula will explode if you push her too hard, and the other two will scare them so much that they may actually shrink into their turtle shells. Therefore, he also needs to build a strong self-confidence for them, a self-confidence that is enough to counter the fear brought by Darth Sidious.
And this confidence is the 5,694.2-meter super aircraft carrier of the Endless class!
Only in this way will these cowards have the courage to fight against the Galactic Republic and Darth Sidious!
