1149. Battleship review (Part 2)
"Knight-class Star Destroyer?" Palpatine thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, this kind of warship was produced on a small scale last year, mainly used in several task forces."
"That's right, the Knight-class, a warship specially designed for artillery battles. Based on a few combat data in the past year, I made the final modifications and finalization of the Knight-class, and connected it to the Republic of China Sina Systems Company's The latest battleship operating system has brought the Knight-class to the standard of formal mass production. This is also one of the topics I proposed for review today," Lila Blissex said.
As she spoke, she turned on the projection, and a huge, triangular-wedge-shaped battleship appeared in the projection. The appearance of this battleship was very impactful, and one could feel the terrifying oppression at a glance. Above the tail of the battleship, a huge single bridge stands proudly, becoming the most obvious feature.
Gary Ulan frowned because he found that the appearance of this Star Destroyer was exactly the same as the Victory-class Star Destroyer manufactured by their Rendili Star Power Company! But the biggest difference is that the Victory-class Star Destroyer is only 900 meters long, while the Knight-class Star Destroyer in front of you is an astonishing 1,600 meters long!
"The Knight-class Star Destroyer is a warship design that puts ship-to-ship combat first. It has 60 XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 on the front and left and right sides; 60 large ion cannons, 20 on the front , 15 on the left and right sides, and 10 on the tail; in addition, there are an additional 6 twin-mounted heavy turbolasers, 2 twin-mounted ion cannons, and 40 point defense laser cannons." Lila said, "Knight-class Possessing destructive firepower, it is enough to destroy any warship appearing on the battlefield of the galaxy now!"
When she said this, her chin almost lifted to the sky, and she was obviously very proud of her "own" design.
A simple and crude enlarged version of the Victory-class Star Destroyer, with more turrets, thicker armor, and larger reactors... Gary Ulan crossed his arms and looked towards the Quat Power Dockyard.
It happened that Little Kuart was also looking here. Galli Ulan raised the corner of his mouth, turned sideways at an angle that Palpatine couldn't see, and made a thumbs down gesture to Little Kuart.
At the same time, he was also full of vigilance, because this also meant the homogenization of the functions of the Knight-class Star Destroyer and the Victory-class Star Destroyer! If that's the case, then Rendilli Star Dynamics' Victory Class...
"...But if I remember correctly, the Knight-class Star Destroyer should have no hangar platform, so the carrier-based aircraft is 0, is that true?" Sheev Palpatine asked.
"Yes, the Knight-class Star Destroyers are used to deal with the Separatist capital ships. Even the Separatist Titan battleship Xuanwu, as long as enough Knight-class ships are invested, it can deal a fatal blow to it!" Li La-Blissex said with great confidence.
"But there are no carrier-based aircraft at all. Will this have an adverse impact on combat?" Palpatine asked again.
"Of course not. I have also fully considered the current situation of the Republic Navy. We have sufficient Jaeger-class battlecruisers and sufficient carrier-based aircraft protection. Therefore, the Knight-class Star Destroyer is a very targeted The ultimate fleet-type battleship! Not only that, this is just the beginning. We are designing a brand-new battleship-the Imperial-class Star Destroyer! This kind of Star Destroyer will be more comprehensive than the Knight-class, equipped with a moderately sized hangar. ." Lila replied.
What follows is a long process of data comparison and review of simulated combat records...
The result was no surprise. Sheev Palpatine was very satisfied with the Knight-class Star Destroyer. He praised Lila Blissex and Quat Power Dockyard on the spot. After praising them, he directly made the next decision. Fiscal year orders for 500 Knight-class Star Destroyers!
The cost of building a Knight-class ship, the price quoted by Kuat Power Shipyard is 140 million credits! After cost accounting, the final order price was determined to be 122 million per vessel!
For 500 Knight-class Star Destroyers, the order price reached 61 billion!
In addition, the Galactic Republic military still placed an order for 600 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, but asked Lila Blissex to reduce the cost of the Jaeger-class battlecruisers as much as possible, so that the Jaeger-class battlecruisers could gradually be converted into It is a second-line support ship type.
To put it bluntly, it is used exclusively as an aircraft carrier.
So in the end, the total of these two orders alone exceeded 100 billion!
Seeing the triumphant smiles on the faces of Little Quart and Lila Blissex, Gary Ulan really wanted to rush over and punch each of them in the face regardless of their status!
After the day's meeting, Gali Ulan returned to his mansion on Coruscant. First, he gave his father Benjira Ulan a daily report on the contents of today's meeting. Then, he called Willix. -Blissex's Newsletter.
A tall middle-aged man with a kind face appeared in the holographic projection. His hairline was a bit high, and it seemed that he was caused by staying up late.
He is Willix Blissex, the father of Lila Blissex, the chief battleship designer of Quart Power Shipyard. He is now the chief engineer of Rendili Star Power Company and is the best in the entire galaxy today. Battleship designer.
It's just that his daughter Lila Blissex added all his light to herself, making many people think that Lila was the best one.
The ultimate reason is that although Willix is a genius, he is not good at using computers. This is a very big contrast, but he just can't use these things at all. Therefore, when he designs battleships, he often draws the design framework with a ruler, compass and pen, and then guides his daughter Lila to operate the computer for him to complete the design.
As a result, all the signatures on his designs were his daughter's names, but he didn't originally care about this.
Later, Willix discovered that Quart Power Shipyard was going further and further in the direction of using its own weapons to cause killings, and his daughter was also happy with it. They only cared about how many people the warships they designed could kill, not how many people they designed. Concerned about ending the war.
Lila Blissex also thinks about how to climb to a higher position and even become a member of the aristocracy.
That's why the father and daughter broke up.
"Today, Lila submitted the design of the Knight-class Star Destroyer for review on behalf of the Quat Dynamic Shipyard, and it was approved." Gary Ulan said, "Then, there seems to be a version with an additional hangar called the Imperial-class. I simply can’t imagine that Kuat Power Shipyard is so shameless that using the same design plus a hangar can be submitted for review as two different warships!”
"I know. Lila has the first draft of the design of my Victory-class Star Destroyer in her hands. With her ability, it is not surprising that she designed a larger and stronger Knight-class on this basis." Willix-Bli Sykes said calmly.
"I know it's bigger, stronger? Are you sure?" Gary Ulan asked.
"Without considering the cost, yes. But I have to say that the Knight-class does not reach the performance limit that the size of 1,600 meters and the cost of 122 million should...far from it." Willix sighed. .
"Comparing the Victory class with a cost of 57 million and the Chasseur class with a cost of 59 million, it is indeed the case." Gary Ulan said, turning to the next question, "Tomorrow's meeting is to discuss the Kuat. A new type of fighter, the Alpha-3 Nius-ss V-ingstarfighter... Why is the design of this fighter signed by you?"
"This is a commission from an old friend that I can't refuse. Jedi Master Sars-Tin, he is resisting that mysterious mechanical life form, the Geth, in the northern reaches of the galaxy. Our pilots need a more powerful fighter to support them. The current V-19 fighter jets are no longer sufficient to deal with the geth's air power," Willix said.
"Then why don't you give it..." Gali Ulan swallowed his words halfway.
That's right, if this design was given to Rendili, the result would probably be nothing, so frontline soldiers could only continue to use V-19 fighter jets.
In fact, there is another meaning that Willix did not say. The V-19 fighter jet has already lagged behind. Compared with the Phantom fighter that has launched several subsequent models, from the A type to the G type, it is no longer a match. .
The Galactic Republic is in urgent need of a new type of fighter jet.
Galli Ulan sighed and said, "Promise me, there will be no next time, okay?"
"I'm tired of the intrigues in the Republic, and I really won't do it anymore," Willix-Blissex said.
"So, there is no doubt that this new type of V-wing fighter will replace the V-19 Riptide and become the new main fighter of the Republic. It is another huge order... Referring to the order volume of V-19 this fiscal year, We estimate that the official order for V-19 should be more than 100,000 aircraft..." Gali Ulan said.
"Is there anything else I'm interested in?" Willix obviously didn't want to continue chatting.
"Republic Sina System proposed a TIE fighter plan. It seems that this plan has the support of Kuat... It seems that they have formed a strategic alliance..." Gali Ulan said.
"The plan for the TIE fighter?"
"Yes, the Republic's Sina System is applying for about 10 billion in research funds from the Republic. It seems that this number will probably be approved at around 8.5 billion."
"So, where's Rendily?"
Gali Ulan fell silent. After a long time, he slowly said: "It's getting late. You should go and rest early, Mr. Willix."
Turning off the communication, Gali Ulan walked to the balcony and looked out the window at the bright night sky of the planet Coruscant, his eyes and thoughts flying far away...

[Easter Egg Chapter Attached Picture 1: The Knight-class Star Destroyer is actually similar in appearance to the Empire-class, mainly because the hull is slightly thinner and there is no hangar hatch in the abdomen. To be honest, it’s almost impossible to tell even this way...]
