Chapter 2562

Li Yao has been in the Empire for quite a long time. He has a deep understanding of all types of main warships that the Empire relies on to dominate the Xinghai sea. He knows that two or three hundred years ago, the Imperial military once had a short period of "revival of cannons and giant ships".

Originally, with crystal armor design and giant soldier maintenance technology more and more developed today, individual combat capability is more and more strong, and warships are more and more inclined to the combination of fire output platform and integrated supply platform, rather than white-edged vanguards.

More than a hundred experts, wearing crystal armour armed to the teeth, will break into the enemy's star ships, which may cost billions or even tens of billions. Even if they can't destroy the other's star ships, they will lose more than a hundred experts at most. These experts can always kill many of them before they die.

At such a cost-effective disadvantage, it is obviously not worthwhile to spend a lot of military money to build a larger scale star ship. It is better to invest resources in the construction of crystal armor regiment and the repair and imitation of giant magic soldiers.

However, the technology of crystal armor and giant soldier is developing, and the firepower output, psionic shield and unmanned operation technology of star ships are also developing. The "cannon giant ship" has always been a soldier's dream. Finally, someone proposed that when crystal brain and spirit net technology develop to the extreme, fighting puppets, various forms of UAVs and remote-controlled space mines can converge into a surging flood, Plus enough naval guns, you can destroy all enemies, including the most powerful crystal armor and giant magic soldiers!

"The giant god soldier is by no means invincible. As long as there are enough fighting puppets and UAVs, and the output firepower of the naval gun is strong enough to form a continuous and airtight fire net, the giant god soldier will surely be defeated!

"If we can't defeat it, it's because there are not enough fighting puppets and turrets, and the fire net is not dense enough. If we can build 100000 turrets on a star ship, what kind of enemy can't be destroyed?"

This was the view of some cannons and warships at that time.

Moreover, they not only talked about it, but also carried out decades of theoretical calculations and tests in the most authoritative military Laboratory of the Empire. In countless virtual battlefield tests, they proved their point of view - a "super Arsenal ship" equipped with hundreds of thousands of psionic puppets and UAVs, and carrying at least 10000 heavy naval guns, Even if the virtual index of these giant magic weapons is raised to reach the level of the control of gods and monsters, it is difficult to break through the fire net of the "super Arsenal ship".

Such a result can not help but make the Imperial military moved.

After all, the research and development technology of the core cockpit of the giant Shenbing, that is, the "lingfu", has not yet been mastered by the Empire. Even if they can copy and piece together the giant Shenbing's hands, legs and weapon sets, once the "lingfu" is destroyed, the giant Shenbing will be completely scrapped.

It's not known how long the war between the Empire and the holy alliance will last. If it will last for another thousand years, one of the great magic weapons in the Empire will be dead and one will be less. The holy alliance, which has a large number of heritage, obviously has a better maintenance and imitation technology than the Empire.

It would be very embarrassing if, at the end of the fight, all the giant soldiers of the Empire were consumed, while the holy alliance still had some giant soldiers left.

Stimulated by such concerns and the "perfect performance" of virtual war in the laboratory, the Imperial military launched the plan to build super warships. The new super warship is known as "King Kong"!

The size, space and firepower of the King Kong class Super armory ship are more than ten times that of the largest armory ship ever built by the Empire in the past. In fact, it is more like a combination of the armory ship, the comprehensive supply ship and even the star battle castle.

In the initial design idea, the military put at least 30000 different types of turrets, hundreds of the most advanced array fire control crystal brains, and more than 500000 combat puppets and UAVs into every King Kong class Super Arsenal ship, making them the "perfect warship, doomsday warship" that the designers boasted to the Senate, The ultimate warship that can end all wars!

Is the actual combat effectiveness of the King Kong class Super armory ship so amazing as the designers and contractors boast that it can lift up the giant soldiers to fight?

This problem is destined to remain unsolved forever.

Perhaps, if these King Kong class Super armory ships can really be built according to the highest standards, they can really wipe out thousands of troops, be invincible, blow up giant soldiers and end all wars.

But before that, what it ended first was imperial finance.

The whole construction process of the King Kong class Super Arsenal ship is a very old-fashioned and sad story.

Maybe the idea of "firepower first, UAV invincible in the sea" is right, but the designer's idea is too advanced and too grand. The designer greatly overestimated the development speed of imperial crystal brain level, and underestimated the technical difficulty of tens of thousands of turrets in one. In other words, in order to get the Senate to approve the construction plan of super warship as soon as possible, From the designers to the largest arms contractors of the Empire, to the stakeholders in the Senate, they all showed a strong spirit of optimism, turned a blind eye to "small difficulties", and put forward a budget that is not cheap but can bear, and a firm guarantee that combat effectiveness can be formed within 20 years at most.

At that time, the Senate agreed to this plan, and 16 "King Kong class Super armory ships" were built in the dock at the same time. This construction was... A whole hundred years.

During this period, the natural and man-made disasters caused by various technical problems were not mentioned. The upgrading of crystal brain and combat puppet technology has repeatedly pushed the original design back. The original plan and budget have long been thrown into the waste paper basket in every corner. The new construction cost has been increased time by time. Finally, the construction cost of each King Kong class Super Arsenal ship has been increased, It's more than 20 times the original budget!

Rao is a human empire. No matter how militaristic the empire is, no matter how eager the Senate is for the birth of the super warship, it will collapse in the face of such a budget and the long-term completion time.

"King Kong class Super armory ship is the most powerful doomsday warship in history, but it's from the shengmeng side! It's just lying still in the dock, and it's going to destroy the Empire! "

Many Empire elders beat the table and roared.

But apart from roaring, they have nothing to do. They have already invested astronomical resources in this plan. It's not possible to sell 16 unfinished King Kong class Super Arsenal ships as scrap metal now, is it?

What's more, fertilizer and water do not flow to other people's fields, and astronomical resource investment will not disappear out of thin air. Does it flow back and forth into the hands of large and small stakeholders?

Even these old men, who blow their beards and stare, beat their tables and roar, may not have profited from it secretly!

In this way, the construction plan of King Kong class Super armory ship has become a never-ending black hole, which has dragged down the imperial army for a whole hundred years. It is hard to say that the holy alliance can take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the black wind fleet and occupy the whole five heavy industrial worlds of the Empire, which has nothing to do with the weakening of this plan, and even the outbreak of the post-war economic crisis is so serious, They all have a little credit for the King Kong class Super Arsenal ship!

When the war broke out, all sides of the Empire could not bear the endless delay. The contractors seemed to think that many people would lose their heads if it went on like this. Sixteen King Kong class Super armory ships were finally put into service.

However, because the front-line war is in full swing and there is a serious lack of budget, the final construction of the 16 King Kong class Super warships has not been completed, which is equivalent to "premature infants" with congenital deficiencies. The designers and arms contractors are convinced that it is not their fault if the 16 super warships can not give full play to their theoretical ultimate combat effectiveness, It's a matter of time and money. If you give them another 30 or 50 years and two or three times the money, the King Kong class Super Arsenal ship will surely be able to destroy all the giant soldiers!

Even the designers and builders are so weak that we can imagine the performance of these 16 "premature infants".

In the real battlefield, they completely lost the aura of destroying everything in the virtual battlefield, but exposed their clumsy and fragile weaknesses. Moreover, because the cost was too expensive, the four election monarchs were reluctant to let these super Arsenal ships go into the most fierce battlefield. Only after two of them were seriously injured by the holy alliance, The remaining 14 super Arsenal ships fled back to their home port in a hurry.

The King Kong class Super warship became a joke. After a hundred years, the Empire's "cannons and giant warships" disappeared, and no new super warships were made. The daily maintenance costs of 16 "premature King Kong" were astronomical, and even the families of the four general election emperors could not bear it. How could they be dragged into the dock to complete the real construction?

So today, one hundred years later, they are still premature infants who can only play 30% of their combat effectiveness. They were abandoned by the most elite super class fleet of the four election emperors and Marquis family. Instead, they were assigned to the second class main fleet. With them as the core, they created the "eight King Kong" and were put on the battlefield to wipe out the reformers.

"I know that the evaluation of the King Kong class Super armory ship is not very high, but it is caused by many factors. In fact, even the premature babies who are not finished can only play 30% of the combat effectiveness. As long as they are determined to fight to the death, they can still frighten any enemy."

Jin Yuyan said with a bitter smile, "just because they don't perform well in the battle against the holy alliance, it doesn't mean they will show mercy to our convoy. You just tried your best to deceive so many immortals for the time being. However, these 16 King Kong class Super armory ships are the" dinghaishen needles "of the four families. If you can't defeat them completely in the battle field, Still, no one will turn to us easily.

"So, how are you going to change your next trick, and where is your so-called" black wind fleet "
