How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 451 Deep Space Carrier

That's... Heh, the empire is finally willing to use the things hidden in the snow, and they haven't seen them appear during military exercises.

Hogu was a little surprised, he thought the empire would not use these easily.

After the stellar network was laid out, the amoeba with the perspective of the entire star system was observing the new type of warship that the empire invested this time—the deep space aircraft carrier.

This is a new type of ship for the Serenes. Their size is not different from that of the mothership class. The template for construction is to use the mothership class, but they do not have the speed of light cannon like the mothership class, not even a single cannon. Seen in them, the Serenians have ditched the lascannon entirely.

The only means of attack for these deep-space aircraft carriers is to launch a large number of autonomous ships to attack the enemy.

There are no autonomous ships inside, only the production line of autonomous ships and the raw materials of autonomous ships, which can maximize the use of space and save the cost of maintaining autonomous ships. When entering a state of war, the production line will start, and a steady stream of autonomous ships will Come off the production line and immediately put into the battlefield.

Will, what is the use of such a ship built by the empire?

Some collectors asked Huogu very puzzled, because this kind of battleship, after many simulations, found that its performance was not even comparable to the battleships currently in service in the empire.

Is the Empire a fool? Obviously not, this kind of warship was hidden by them as a secret weapon, and it was not put into use for the first time until now, and it was directly put into actual combat, which clearly showed the empire's confidence in this kind of warship.

However, after the collectors learned the rough data of this ship type through the star network, they didn't feel that they had any superb performance.

So they came to Hogu for help, hoping that Hogu could give them an answer.

This kind of warship is specially designed by the empire for light-time-scale combat. If you directly compare it with other warships of the empire, you will naturally have no way to understand the true role of this kind of warship.

Huogu is very clear why the empire designs ships in this way. The battlefield environment determines the needs. The empire is only designing warships according to the needs. If you can't correctly understand the battlefield where the deep space aircraft carrier should be used, you can't correctly understand this kind of warship. The real value of the battleship.

The upper limit of the speed of light causes radar to have serious delay effects on a larger scale.

Weapon hit rate decreases with distance.

The power of the laser pulse will decrease due to the attenuation of the energy level due to the extension of the distance scale, so there is an effective range, and the brightness of the light on a sufficiently large scale may not be as dazzling as a flashlight.

Combining these aspects, the empire designed this kind of warship. The defensive armor was thinned and the strength dropped a lot, just to be able to accommodate more propulsion engines, autonomous ship production lines, reactors, and raw materials. For battleships, it is considered a thin skin. A large live target must be crushed and hit within the effective range of the laser.

But if it is outside the effective range of the laser, such as the light-time scale, the situation will be reversed. Whether it is a battleship or a mothership, it can only be carried by the kite-flying tactics of the deep-space aircraft carrier, and there is nothing to do with the deep-space aircraft carrier.

The design concept of the deep-space aircraft carrier is to use space distance for defense. As long as you run outside your effective range, you gunboats can't kill me unless you can catch up with me.

If you want to attack a deep-space aircraft carrier, you need to catch up with the opponent. However, in terms of speed, the deep-space aircraft carrier is specially designed, sacrificing the speed in exchange for armor, and it is not possible for heavy-tonnage ships such as motherships and battleships. To catch up, escort warships such as cruisers can catch up, but the problem is that these warships need to carry enough material supplies to run such a large distance, and after carrying such a large amount of material supplies, the firepower is naturally difficult. Guarantee, let alone deal with the overwhelming autonomous fleet.

In addition, the design of deep-space aircraft carriers mostly adopts lightweight and anti-radar detection designs. These designs ensure the battlefield survivability of deep-space aircraft carriers and make them difficult to be detected by radar.

As for what to do if the shipboard resources are exhausted, the deep-space aircraft carrier can obtain materials locally, and the Kuiper belt has a large number of meteorites, which is completely enough for the deep-space aircraft carrier to squander.

Of course, the anti-radar hiding of the deep-space aircraft carrier is actually useless to Huogu, because the design of the deep-space aircraft carrier is only anti-radar and lightweight. Large-scale man-made objects like the mothership class, the composition of the star network Individuals cannot see unless they are blind.

Will, is such a warship a high threat to us? Should we design some biological individuals to target them?

Some collectors asked Huogu to understand the role of the deep space aircraft carrier and the combat mode to a certain extent. The collectors had to worry, but Huogu rejected their ideas.

This is not necessary. This is just a tasteless product created by the empire's stride too far. The completion of the stellar network makes the hiding ability of the deep space aircraft carrier useless. Any warship that loses its hiding ability is not a threat. We don't need it. Caring too much about that.

If such a warship could remain hidden all the time, it would be terrifying, but once its whereabouts were exposed, the danger would plummet, and it would not even be as good as a battleship.

After all, lasers are not the only thing that can make radar useless, live ammunition weapons are also possible.

That's it.

...

The war is still going on. The near-defense autonomous fleet released by the Aegean Federation Fleet and the autonomous fleet of the deep-space aircraft carrier are in close combat. You can see a light band stretching hundreds of thousands of kilometers at the first time. If you look closely at this light band , you will find that it is composed of a huge number of pyrotechnics, and each pyrotechnic will be replaced by another pyrotechnic soon after it disappears.

The battle line is maintained. In the foreseeable future, the Aegean Federation Fleet will destroy this wave of autonomous ships without loss, because the Aegean Federation Fleet can salvage the wreckage of the autonomous ships, and then go back to the furnace to manufacture more near-defense autonomous ships. However, the autonomous fleet of deep-space aircraft carriers has not been replenished and has been consumed, and the number is a little bit smaller.

Looks like this will be cleaned up soon...

Staring at the cloud-like fleet of autonomous ships on the tactical projection, the commander of the Federation Fleet has a little confidence in this battle-the so-called empire is only at this level, and they will destroy the lackeys of the empire just like destroying these autonomous ships they!

Commander, the radar has detected a large number of entities approaching Aegean! It is an autonomous fleet! But it is about three times more than the number we are facing now!

The face of the commander of the Federation Fleet who heard the report from his subordinates changed.

What did you say?!
