v4 Chapter 833： Shenzhou upgrade

The emergence of the Dawn-class space frigate once again set off stormy waves in the minds of high-level human nations.

The Foreign Minister Mao Xiong also stated that in the near future, their space fleet will also have a Dawn-class space frigate.

Since the successful development of the solar furnace, it has shocked the world several times a month, and even a conditioned reflex is about to form.

Although controllable nuclear fusion technology is only a civilization level 1.0 technology, it is disruptive in terms of energy.

Before the solar furnace came out, jets that used chemical fuels had a combat radius of basically one thousand kilometers even if they were fully loaded with fuel.

For jet fighters, they can only fly so far, fly a circle and return after throwing missiles, and they do not have the ability to fight for a long time.

However, the appearance of the solar furnace completely changed all of this.

For a space frigate, the energy provided by the solar furnace is almost unlimited.

The biggest difference between space warships and fighters is that space warships do not have the concept of a combat radius at all. In a planetary-scale war, either empty ammunition or sink, and there is no concept of energy exhaustion.

Of course, the solar furnace was destroyed.

If you have to set a combat radius for a space battleship, you need to talk about it at the scale of the star system.

The second is the combat altitude. After the emergence of space battleships, all aircraft that cannot fly out of the atmosphere are cannon fodder, without exception.

Therefore, although the allied forces of mankind are still using fighters, they have no air superiority in front of space warships.

The service of the four Dawn-class space frigates of the East China Sea Space Fleet once again tightened the nerves of all nations.

...

The four Dawn-class space frigates landed on the front line base of the crater mountain range, and took turns to enter the factory building, and were overhauled by the Eastern Navy Frontline Engineering Team.

The four Dawn-class space frigates have no problems in their navigation, but after all, the first time the Dawn-class is in service, all aspects of inspection cannot be relaxed.

Eve hung the sign of her senior engineer of the Eastern Navy and swaggered into the factory building, preparing for the first intimate contact with the four Dawn-class ships.

A large group of students in the military research class followed Eve and mixed in.

On the scaffolding, Eve touched the outer shell of the Dawn-class space frigate, and sighed: "So thin, they haven't fed you enough, right?"

For the Shuguang-class Intersecting Shenzhou, it is indeed relatively slender, which is also the reason for its speed advantage.

Shenzhou is relatively round in hull, so it is of course called "little fat man" by Eve.

However, slenderness is also relatively speaking, the Dawn Class is also 73 meters long, and it is not small at all.

Space battleships are not the same as ocean battleships.

Marine warships float on the sea, and floating does not need any energy support. Therefore, as long as there is enough steel, it can be as big as you want.

Space battleships are different. Space battleships have to fly, so they have very strict requirements on weight and size.

Therefore, the 73-meter-long Dawn Class is quite large in the air unit.

"Uncle Zhou, let's go in and take a look at the solar furnace. I heard that the miniaturization has been improved, is it even more powerful?" Eve saw a senior engineer of the Eastern Navy and hurried forward to say hello.

"Come in. Just wanting someone to call you, you can help check the body to see if there are any problems." Uncle Zhou waved, took a few people into the interior of the Dawn-class space frigate, and went directly into the "heart" to see the solar furnace.

The overall design of the Shuguang-class space frigate is smaller than that of the Shenzhou, and the purpose is to reduce weight and increase speed.

Therefore, the "heart" space for installing the solar furnace is only one third of the Shenzhou space.

Shenzhou is equipped with 12 solar furnaces, and the Dawn-class has 6 solar furnaces, but the space is only one-third.

Therefore, the Dawn-class solar furnace must be smaller.

"Hey, it is indeed much smaller, only half the size of the Shenzhou solar furnace. Is the output power of the Dawn-class solar furnace the same as that of the Shenzhou solar furnace?" After seeing the solar furnace, Eve asked in surprise.

"It's not the same. The solar furnace used by the Suguang class is B type, which is a miniaturized and improved type. The output power is smaller than that of the Shenzhou solar furnace, but the volume and weight are smaller. It is designed and manufactured in accordance with the design parameters of the Suguang class. Yes, the purpose is different." Uncle Zhou explained a little bit.

The first version of the solar furnace used by the Shenzhou was later named Type A,

Type A is a standard type, and type B is a small solar furnace.

However, the A-type solar furnace has been improved many times.

Therefore, the Shenzhou is now all solar furnaces and the latest A-type solar furnaces are somewhat different.

The solar furnace R&D team has been working **** the miniaturization of the solar furnace. The Dawn class is the ship type developed after the successful miniaturization of the solar furnace.

...

After seeing the Shuguang-class space frigate, everyone in the military research class returned to the Shenzhou.

"Shenzhou is better, chubby, cute."

After Eve's freshness passed, she began to fall in love with the old again, and began to beg Li Guihua: "Dad, reduce the weight of the carrier-based space-based gun. That way, the little fat guy can fly faster."

"It's not that Dad didn't want it, Dad couldn't do it. Reduce the weight of the base, and when the ship-borne space-based gun cracks the hull, it will be a major accident." Li Guihua waved his hand and resolutely opposed.

"Reinforce the base material. Didn't it mean that all the materials with strong interaction force have been mass-produced? Can't you apply for a little bit?" Eve gestured "a little bit" with his fingers.

"Is that something that can be solved a little bit?" Li Guihua firmly opposed.

"You don't help me, are you? Then I can figure out a solution by myself." Eve puffed her cheeks, looking very angry.

"What can you do." Li Guihua shook his head and smiled, not paying attention.

Eve turned around and went to find Fang Yuan, and began to whisper, "Captain, you are now the trainee captain of the Shenzhou."

"Yes. Why, do you want to usurp the throne?" Fang Yuan joked with her.

"That's not necessary, as long as you don't grab the control stick with me. I want to say, you are all the trainee captain of the Shenzhou, don't you give the little fat man a little greeting?" Eve began to turn to the topic.

"Isn't it because you should give me an inauguration ceremony and flatter you?" Fang Yuan asked back.

"From now on, the Shenzhou ship will listen to your orders, you can't give it no benefit, right?" Eve began to talk.

"What the **** are you trying to say? When did you learn badly?" Fang Yuan saw that she must have something.

Eve took a deep breath and finished the sentence at one time: "I want to apply strong interaction materials to strengthen the Shenzhou hull, reduce the weight of the ship-borne space-based gun base, and reduce the burden on the Shenzhou."

"On this matter, let's talk early."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and walked forward: "Let's go. Let's see how much material with strong interaction force is enough."
