Chapter 450: Chapter 451 Deep Space Aircraft Carrier
"That's... Oh, the empire was finally willing to take out the things hidden in the snow. They have never appeared during military exercises."
Huo Gu was a little surprised. He also thought that the empire would not use these easily.
After the star network, the amoeba with the perspective of the all-stellar system is observing the new warship invested by the empire - the deep space aircraft carrier.
This is the new ship of the Selins. Their size is not different from the mother ship class. The template is to use the mother ship class, but they do not have the light-speed cannons like the mother ship class. They have not even seen a gun in them. The Selin people completely abandoned the laser cannon.
The only attack method of these deep-space aircraft carriers is to drop a large number of autonomous ships to attack the enemy.
The interior is not equipped with autonomous ships, 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 continuous stream of autonomous ships will come down from the production line and immediately put into the battlefield.
"Will, what's the use of this kind of ship built by the empire?"
Some collectors asked Huo Gu puzzledly, because after many simulations of this kind of warship, it was found that the performance could not even be comparable to that of the active battleships of the Empire.
Is the empire a fool? Obviously not, this kind of warship was hidden by them as a secret weapon. It has not been put into use for the first time until now, and it is directly put into actual combat, which clearly shows the empire's confidence in this kind of warship.
However, after using the star network to learn the approximate data of the ship, the collectors did not feel that they had any superb performance.
So they came to Huo Gu for help, hoping that Huo Gu could give them an answer.
"This kind of warship is specially designed by the empire for light-time scale combat. If you compare it directly with other warships of the empire, you naturally can't understand the real role of this kind of warship."
Huo Gu knew very well why the empire designed ships in this way. The battlefield environment determines the needs. The empire only designed 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 the real value of this kind of warship.
The upper limit of the speed of light leads to a serious delay effect on radar at a larger scale.
The hit rate of the weapon will decrease with the increase of 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 illumination may not be as dazzling as the flashlight at a large enough scale.
In view of these aspects, the Empire designed this kind of warship. The defensive armor has been thinned and the strength has decreased a lot. In order to install more propulsion engines, autonomous ship production lines, reactors and raw materials, it is a thin-skinned live target for battleships. It is bound to be pressed within the effective range of the laser. Hit.
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 mother ship, it can only be hung by the kite-playing tactics of the deep space aircraft carrier, and there is nothing we can do about it.
The design concept of the deep-space aircraft carrier is to use space distance for defense. As long as you run beyond your effective range, you gunboats will not kill me unless you can catch up with me.
If you want to attack the deep-space aircraft carrier, you need to catch up with the other party. However, in terms of speed, the deep-space aircraft carrier has been specially designed, sacrificing the speed of armor. It is not at all that heavy tonnage ships such as carrier classes and battleships can catch up. Escort warships such as cruisers can catch up. However, the problem is that these warships can catch up. To run such a large-scale distance, it is necessary to carry enough material supplies, and after carrying such a large amount of material supplies, Naturally, it is difficult to guarantee firepower, let alone deal with the overwhelming autonomous fleet.
In addition, the design of the deep space aircraft carrier mostly adopts lightweight and anti-radar detection design, which ensures the battlefield survivability of the deep space aircraft carrier, making it not easy to be detected by radar.
As for what to do if the ship's on-borne resources are consumed, the deep space aircraft carrier can take materials on the spot. Kuiper carries a huge number of meteorites, which is completely enough for the wanton squander of the deep space aircraft carrier.
Of course, the anti-radar hiding of the deep space aircraft carrier is actually useless for Huo Gu, because the design of the deep space aircraft carrier is only anti-radar and lightweight. For large artificial objects such as the mothership class, the components in the star cloth net cannot be seen unless they are blind.
"Will, is such a warship a high threat to us? Should we specially design some biological individuals to target?
Some collectors asked Huo Gu to understand the role of deep space aircraft carriers and the combat mode to a certain extent. The collectors had to worry, but Huo Gu rejected their ideas.
"This is not necessary. This is just a chicken rib product created by the empire's too big step. The completion of the star network makes the hidden ability of the deep space aircraft carrier useless. There is no threat to any warship that loses its hidden ability. We don't need to care too much about this.
If such a warship can remain hidden all the time, it is really horrible, but once its whereabouts are exposed, the danger will plummet, even worse than a battleship.
After all, it is not only lasers that can make radar useless, but also live ammunition weapons.
"That's it."
...
The war is still going on. The close defense autonomous ships released by the Aegean Federal Fleet and the autonomous ships in deep space aircraft carriers are connected. At the first time, you can see a light belt stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. If you look closely, you will find that it is composed of a huge number of fireworks. After each fireworks disappears, soon It will be replaced by another fireworks.
The front is maintained. In the foreseeable future, the Aegean Federal Fleet will destroy this wave of autonomous fleet without loss, because the Aegean Federal Fleet can salvage the wreckage of the autonomous ships and then return to the furnace to create more close-defense autonomous ships, and the autonomous fleet of deep space aircraft carriers has indeed not been replenished and has been consumed. The quantity is a little less.
"It seems that these will be cleaned up soon..."
Staring at the autonomous fleet of ships like clouds on the tactical projection, the commander of the federal fleet has a little confidence in this battle - the so-called empire is only to this extent. They will destroy the lackeys of the empire like these autonomous ships!
"Commander, radar has observed a large number of entities approaching Aegean! It's an autonomous fleet! But it's about three times more than the number we are facing now!"
The face of the commander of the federal fleet who heard the report changed.
"What are you talking about?"
