Chapter 1787: Chapter 1787, New Blueprint, new battles.h.i.+p

After getting rid of those officials who were in the way, Jiang Fei took over the Skoda Star for real. Then, he began to order the production of the original battles.h.i.+p to stop and switch to the production of the battles.h.i.+p according to the new blueprint.

In terms of weight loss at the base station, Jiang Fei only used the technology he learned from the Player battles.h.i.+pblueprint to modify the craft of the merchant alliance battles.h.i.+p to improve the performance of the battles.h.i.+p, however, he did not make too many changes because the merchant alliances battles.h.i.+ps had already been basically fixed. If he used too many new technologies, it would result in incompatibility.

However, in order to enhance the merchant alliances battles.h.i.+pscombat capabilities, Jiang Fei used the Playertechnology to add some new equipment to the battles.h.i.+ps. Although these equipment were not big.., it had greatly increased the power of these battles.h.i.+ps.

For example, the merchant alliances most basic cobalt alloy light frigate. Jiang Fei had used the Playertechnology to add anti-matter corrosion cannons to it. After this cannon hit the enemy, it could burn the opponents anti-matter pool, at the same time, it could cause great damage and also deplete the opponents anti-matter reserves.

Antimatter was a new type of energy source that was currently being researched by the various major powers in the universe. However, it was already widely used in the Playerbattles.h.i.+ps. This new type of energy source was very difficult to obtain, after depletion, the recoil speed was extremely slow. Therefore, even the Playerbattles.h.i.+ps would be very cautious when using antimatter weapons. Therefore, the appearance of the antimatter corrosion cannon.., would cause a considerable amount of damage to the Playerbattles.h.i.+ps in future battles.

In Jiang Feis words, anti-matter was equivalent to the blue bar of a Player battles.h.i.+p. On the other hand, the anti-matter corrosion cannon was equivalent to a weak version of Mana Burn. Although the single-shot effect of this thing was not particularly strong, do not forget.., the cobalt alloy light frigate was the most basic battles.h.i.+p of the merchant alliance. The production of this thing was extremely high. The anti-matter burning effect caused by a volley of shots was enough to make a heavy cruiser suffer.

Other than the anti-matter corrosion cannon, Jiang Fei also added cl.u.s.ter warheads to the javelin-cla.s.s missile frigate. This allowed the javelin-cla.s.s missile frigate to launch missiles that were close to the target and split into multiple warheads to attack, this reduced the chances of it being intercepted.

In addition, Jiang Fei also brought a huge modification to the grizzly-cla.s.s heavy cruiser, the annihilator-cla.s.s quantum advance engine, this thing could allow the grizzly bear cla.s.s heavy cruiser to enter the vicinity of the target s.h.i.+p at sub-light speed in a short period of time. This upgrade could be said to be a qualitative leap for the grizzly bear cla.s.s heavy cruiser!

One had to know that the grizzly bear cla.s.s heavy cruiser of the merchant alliance could be said to be one of the weaker types of heavy cruisers. The reason was that other than its powerful armor, it was completely useless, compared to the energy wave weapons of the Vasari Legions Garvis enforcer heavy cruiser, the grizzly-cla.s.s automatic cannon was simply too weak!

Its short range, long flight time, and other weaknesses caused the grizzly-cla.s.s to be at a serious disadvantage in long-range combat with other heavy cruisers. However, the automatic cannon, an old-fas.h.i.+oned cheap weapon, was not completely useless, the automatic cannon, which used depleted uranium bullets as warheads, could effectively avoid the enemy s.h.i.+ps energy s.h.i.+eld when it was fired at close range, directly dealing a devastating blow to it.

However, the problem was that in the era of s.p.a.ce wars, how many chances did one have to get close to the other party? Who would be willing to wait until one got close before exchanging fire with one?

That was why the Grizzly cla.s.s had always been called an excellent sandbag, because other than its ability to get beaten up, it had almost no other abilities. When it fought with others, it would be kite-flying material, except when it was at the front of the fleet, other than bearing the enemys vigor, it was not worthy of its status as a heavy cruiser.

However, with the Annihilator cla.s.s quantum advance engine, the grizzly bear could turn around and sing like a serf. With this sub-light speed advance engine, it could quickly charge to the side of the enemy s.h.i.+p. If it was a close-range shot.., the thick-skinned grizzly bear that used automatic cannons was not afraid of any enemy. It would even dare to fight against two Garvis Enforcers!

Of course, other than strengthening the Merchant Alliances s.h.i.+ps, Jiang Fei had to find something new. Otherwise, the merchant alliances original s.h.i.+ps would not be able to fight against the Playerfleet.

The boorish super light frigate was one of them. This thing was smaller than a cobalt alloy light frigate. It was not even much bigger than a patrol boat. The entire s.h.i.+p could be operated by only ten crew members. It was extremely cheap.

Although this kind of s.h.i.+p was small, it was very powerful. Other than being like a guard anti-aircraft s.h.i.+p, it could easily m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.e and defend against the threat of drones brought by aircraft carriers, it could also launch a type of armor corrosion warhead, this thing could easily weaken the armor of a local s.h.i.+p, giving a qualitative boost to the firepower of allies.

However, because the s.h.i.+p was small, one shot was the inevitable outcome. Fortunately, this s.h.i.+p was cheap and had fewer crew members. Moreover, it did not require too much complicated control technology. It could be piloted by a clone warrior, therefore, in s.p.a.ce battles, it was considered a pretty good consumable.

Other than these small s.h.i.+ps, the most important thing that Jiang Fei brought to the merchant alliance was a support-type cruiser the ogre-cla.s.s torpedo cruiser. The defense of this type of s.h.i.+p was weak. Although it was not a one shot kill.., its defense was completely inferior to the level of a cruiser.

Moreover, because it used a harpoon-cla.s.s cruise missile, its attack speed was slow and its attack frequency was low. Moreover, the flying speed of this type of missile was not fast. It could not hit an enemy s.h.i.+p that was moving very fast, therefore, it was quite useless when it came to s.h.i.+p-to-s.h.i.+p combat.

However, because the range of the harpoon-cla.s.s cruise missiles was extremely long, even exceeding the range of light energy weapons, and their power was extremely great, even several times that of an ordinary nuclear bomb, this thing was a kind of existence similar to a demolition office, although it could not hit the enemys s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, it had an extraordinary lethality against the enemys base and orbital defense weapons.

Because the s.p.a.ce fortress still had orbital defense weapons that could not be moved, the harpoon-cla.s.s cruise missiles could hit them accurately. Moreover, because it was powerful, it had a long range, therefore, the ogre-cla.s.s torpedo cruiser could launch an attack from outside the enemys range. As long as there was a fleet protecting them, there was no need to lose a single soldier to demolish the base, they could avoid the awkward situation where the battles.h.i.+p and the fortress would suffer heavy losses.

With the help of these technologies, the Merchant Alliances fleet was no longer a threat to the Vasari Armys battles.h.i.+ps. However, they were still no match for the Players. The reason was simple the main s.h.i.+p!

Before he had seen the main s.h.i.+p, Jiang Fei would never believe that a single battles.h.i.+p could affect the entire battle. However, after seeing the two Player main s.h.i.+ps, the overseer-cla.s.s battlecruiser and the radiant-cla.s.s battlecruiser.., jiang Fei had to believe that the main s.h.i.+p indeed had the ability to turn the tide of the battle. Therefore, in order to fight against the Playerfleet, he had also used this technology to develop a type of main s.h.i.+p for the Merchant Alliance!
