Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

Capital ship.

A very broad concept.

Battleships and aircraft carriers are naturally capital ships.

But sometimes, destroyers or even frigates can also be called capital ships - this is not fixed.

After all, no matter what type of ship, they are all military equipment.

Any kind of military equipment is actually restricted by the era, the country that built it, and even the design ideas.

For example, before the Cold War, it was still the era of giant ships, cannons and dive bombing, so the main types of ships at that time were heavily armored battleships and aircraft carriers.

Escort ships, including destroyers and escorts, are basically responsible for miscellaneous tasks.

However, since the beginning of the Cold War, missile technology has developed rapidly, quickly sweeping traditional ideas into the garbage heap:

When faced with heavy anti-ship missiles carrying large-yield warheads such as the Styx, or even anti-ship missiles equipped with nuclear warheads, a battleship of tens of thousands of tons and a destroyer of several thousand tons are nothing. different.

Even when the latter is neutralized, it still has the wonderful advantage of dying less than the former.

Heavy missiles can easily have a range of hundreds of kilometers, rendering all naval guns useless.

Therefore, after fully entering the era of 'using missiles to deal with missiles', the definitions of the original escort ship and the original battleship began to be confused...

For example, some "destroyers" with a tonnage of eight, nine thousand, or even tens of thousands.

Or maybe a certain country likes to build 'patrol coast guard ships' that can easily weigh 10,000 to 20,000 tons.

...well, that's not really surprising, considering the role the ship class will play in the new era of naval combat.

In an era when aircraft carriers dominate everything, it is not surprising that destroyers responsible for providing regional air defense, anti-submarine, and dividing and controlling the battlefield should assume the main responsibilities.

This in itself is a process of continuous evolution in the way of warfare.

But it is very speechless.

In the interstellar era, this evolution has reversed course:

In the boundless space, missiles that use propellers to provide power by themselves have no range or firing rate compared to high-power mass bomb projectors and various energy weapons that basically travel at the speed of light. Advantage.

And in the interstellar age, the defensive power of combat ships is basically directly linked to their size. Carrier-based aircraft do not have the same advantages as those in the atomic energy age...

Therefore, in this era, the scope of capital ships has returned to what it was before.

Even according to the definition of interstellar civilization, in a narrow sense.

Similarly, only large warships with large tonnage, high payload, firepower, shield and armor, and powerful offensive capabilities can be called capital ships.

Each of these steel behemoths can become the absolute core of a small fleet.

Su Wen has not built large capital ships before, not because he did not point out technology.

It was purely due to some kind of 'thrifty' instinct that was not common to outsiders, which made him feel that these big gadgets were not cost-effective enough.

After all, his previous enemies could only be dealt with by small boats.

There is no point in trying to force a ship with overflowing firepower debuffs, and waste a lot of unnecessary resources.

But now...

The crisis on the moon cannot be said to have been completely resolved.

After all, the Uncertain Light cannot be moved away, and he has opened up the "Perfect Intelligent Life Mass Production Method" and has not hidden this technology.

Therefore, even the six murderers who had killed all the fellow Fei people had not noticed him yet.

But what about the future?

Not to mention that after he created the race of 'mental humanoids', the eyes of the big guys would fall on him sooner or later.

And taking into account the heaven-defying characteristics of this new race, which was born out of the 'Perfect Intelligent Life Mass Production Method'.

The looks they gave me couldn't be more friendly.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

And in the situation where the above-mentioned crisis is always hanging over our heads.

During this trip to the virtual realm, while harvesting a treasure planet, he came into contact with a 'Venerable Civilization' who was suspected of having a collection habit, liked to abduct living races from all over the universe, and was engaged in some ulterior research.

It's hard to say which one is more difficult to deal with, the 'Honorable Civilization', or the 'Group of Murderers' composed of the six super civilizations that annihilated the Fei people.

But what is certain is that Su Wen definitely does not want to be unable to fight back when they find him.

So he needs to accelerate his expansion.

Only by accelerating expansion can we speed up industrial development.

Accelerating industrial development is the basis for accelerating the application of science and technology.

But accelerating expansion will also make the 'progress bar' for the empire to encounter other civilizations and expose its own existence rise faster and faster...

...I can only say that this is how things are in the world, nothing exists alone, everything affects the whole body.

But a stall as big as the Suzheng Empire was finally set up.

It is impossible to expect it to be hidden in the deep space of the universe forever.

Perseus is not some deserted galaxy that is inaccessible.

According to the information in the system's main database, the number of interstellar civilizations here has never been small.

It is even more impossible for Su Wen to stop eating because of choking and stop developing in order to hide himself. This is unrealistic.

The only option is to polish weapons and forge armor.

Do everything possible to develop your own armed forces before being exposed.

In this regard, he is still very confident.

Suppose that all the envisioned elite leader ships are completed, and all are equipped with cutting-edge ship equipment based on Rubik's cube energy.

Then their comprehensive combat effectiveness starts from the T6 level.

Taking into account the particularity of the 'Magic Cube Ship Equipment', maybe in some cases, it may be enough to support a T7 card...

Although in the process of confronting navies of different civilizations, pure technological level is not the only factor that affects the outcome.

You should also consider more or less the ship type, the offensive and defensive attributes of the weapons and equipment of both sides, as well as trivial things such as racial characteristics and civilization systems.

But relatively speaking, technology level is indeed the most important influencing factor.

At least it accounts for more than 60%, or even more.

What's more, even in other aspects, he has great advantages and is no worse than others.

..

For almost the next whole day, Su Wen was busy with this.

In the foreseeable future, he will be even busier.

There is nothing we can do.

In his position, he will pursue his own affairs. As the head of the empire, he cannot do nothing and just sit on the sidelines and be a hand-off shopkeeper.

Navy development is an important task for the country.

The so-called important affairs of the country should be carried out by military service and sacrifice. This is the truth.

Sacrifice is a sacrifice, representing inheritance and the legitimacy of the ruler.

The Rong in the interstellar era naturally focus on the navy.

therefore.

Although at this stage, the project has just begun.

The vast majority of work revolves around paper work such as designing blueprints and formulating specifications.

But as the supreme head of state, Su Wen still needs to monitor the progress of each new project in real time.

Every mental humanoid mentioned the report frequently.

So that he can determine the real-time progress of all projects at any time.

This is not because of some bullshit trust factor or political influence.

These things are only found in the ruling institutions of normal civilizations, and certainly not in the Suzheng Empire, where all individuals except Su Wen are purely mechanically intelligent.

It is to allow Su Wen to fully understand all the projects and all the information that the empire is currently promoting.

and...

He understands that it doesn't really matter what he looks at.

'Keeping informed' is the most important thing.

If a soldier wants to be effective in combat, he needs to understand the weapons in his hands;

To be technically competent, an engineer needs to understand the machines and tools before him;

As the head of the empire, Su Wen must of course understand the country he owns.

Although "Why not eat minced meat" is a very old allusion, the situation it refers to is actually not that far away from people.

Whether it was before or after Su Wen's time travel, there were so many rulers who said, "Why not eat minced meat" that it's hard to count them all.

It is not an exaggeration at all to say that in some places, it has completely changed to the point where 'the people do not know the country, and the country does not know the people'...

...to the point of 'renting out an idle house for money if you don't have money', or 'getting married and having children if you can't fall in love'. That's really not the average number.

Su Wen hated this kind of stuff in his last life. Now that it was his turn, he naturally couldn't play with double standards.

therefore.

Although being 'diligently' was painful and even made him feel like he was losing some hair - obviously an illusion - he still insisted on sitting in the office for more than a day.

In his royal study, which was decorated luxuriously with brilliance but he rarely visited, he spent almost a whole day signing documents and looking at files.

Even Su Wen himself knows it very well.

He is actually the highest-level tablet in this empire.

But for the hard work of the girls...

He still decided that even if he was serving as a tablet, he should be the most dedicated tablet.
