Chapter 62: Ship Style(2/2)
Mensuo nodded without objection.
"As for those colonial hubs..."
Xia Xiu continued:
"First let the advance scientific research team of the courtyard conduct research and repair, determine the stability of these hubs, and then consider immigration and colonial construction."
After dealing with the allocation of resource hubs, Xia Xiu finally talked about the most critical issue - war preparation.
"Next, I want to ask."
“How much fleet support can you gis philosophers provide in the upcoming Battle of Tunaras?”
This is the real concern for the courtyard.
The Gith philosophers were one of the most important allies of the Courtyard in the Gith foreign war, and their fleet investment will directly affect the pace of advancement of the entire battle situation.
Mensuo pondered for a moment, then said slowly:
“We are different from the Gith foreigners.”
"We are never strong enough to be a military force, nor are we keen on endless expansion."
"Our fleet size has always been around 30 to 40 ships, and it will not build warships like the Gith foreigners."
Xia Xiu nodded gently.
This was in line with his expectations. In his eyes, these philosophers were a little... a waste.
So, he never expected them to fight.
The Speaker Mensuo, who did not know that the Lord of the Courtyard was slandering the philosopher in his heart, continued:
"If we want to officially enter the war, we can dispatch 30 ships."
"Most of these ships are 'Psychic Frigates' and 'Psychic Light Ships'."
"They are not equipped with large-caliber artillery guns, and the weapon systems on the ship mainly rely on the astral psychic energy-driven 'psychic cannons'."
"Our warships are more suitable for guerrilla warfare than head-on."
"As for the fleet's flagship and commander..."
Mensuo paused slightly, then smiled:
“You should have seen it.”
"The flagship of the fleet is the floating city where you visited before in Depth 5, and the person who commanded the flagship was the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Psychic Expeditionary Fleet of the Githphilosopher, Villoch Zal."
When Xia Xiu heard this, he nodded slightly, and a trace of memory flashed in his eyes.
He did see Villoch Zal, the commander of the Seventh Psychic Fleet, and also their flagships.
It was a ship with a very astral psychic style - it looked like the Zeppelin in the world.
In the ether, the rules of fluid mechanics and present physics are distorted, so the design styles of ships are mostly... abstract and peculiar.
It can even be said that the entire ship design that can navigate in the ether has a more or less scent of "physics no longer exists".
Most of the ships in the Kingdom of Heaven are in Gothic architectural style, with solemn statues and churches on the hull, and moving temples floating in the starry sky.
The ships of the Edish Federation, various aircraft carriers on the hull, aircraft soul-sculpting, and AI autonomous systems.
—The ships of [Mi Ge clan] are pure biological aircraft. The ship shells will squirm, the hatch will open its mouth, and even the weapons are energy symbiosis. No matter how you look at them, they don’t look like warships in the normal sense.
The ships of the Gis philosophers were all kinds of Zeppelin airships, floating in the star world, ethereal and mysterious.
In comparison...
The ships of the Gith foreigners seem the most "honest".
Their ships have no exaggerated buildings, no surreal structures that violate physical common sense. The hull is designed in a regular, sturdy and clear-cut, like a down-to-earth shipbuilding technology.
In the ship design of the heavens and all worlds, the ships of the foreigners of Gis are like "honest people", while ships of other forces have basically embarked on the path of "abstract art school".
At present, the number of ships in the courtyard is worrying.
To be precise, the Garden Navy has not yet formed a complete fleet organization.
The only ship that can be used at present is [Glory Sword Class Heavy Cruiser].
Of course... although it is a "cruiser" in name, Xia Xiu could only smile at this three-kilometer-long behemoth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! This thing is larger, harder, and stronger than most battleships, and its firepower system is even more exaggerated than ordinary main battleships.
The only problem is…it's really too big.
Xia Xiu's current fleet is only one cruiser. To put it bluntly, the entire courtyard navy is a large main battle tank rushing around the battlefield, and the other soldiers have not yet been built.
To build a real fleet, you must replenish supporting ships as soon as possible.
Just so happened that thirteen Gith foreign ships were seized in the Battle of Kresh, which could be used for transformation.
As for the other ships, they are either damaged in war or scarred and lose their repair value. Only these sixteen ships can be recycled.
Xia Xiu thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Thanks to the "honest" ship design of the Gis foreigners, there are still many magical modifications.
What he had to do was transform these "honest" ships into standard Heavenly Style battleships and dye them into the color of the courtyard.
The renovation plan is also very simple.
The first step is to find Boss Eden to ask for the ship transformation drawings.
Eden's database stores a large number of design plans for standard warships in the Heavenly Kingdom. Just need to be adapted to make these ships part of the courtyard navy.
The second step is to use [Civilization Continuation] to compile the STC template.
STC (standard template structure) is one of the core technologies of the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven. It can standardize the technological templates of different civilizations and make ship transformation extremely efficient.
Step 3: Start the STC template and pinch the ship!
Strengthen the hull structure and optimize defense.
Extend the hull, install more weapon mounting points, and expand firepower configuration.
Adding a fortress-like structure to the ship makes it conform to the aesthetics of the heavenly ships.
