Chapter 195 (1/2)
”T2 technology?” Xia Fei is very confused. He only knows that cruiser frigates are graded. For example, Xiafei's vampire is a five level frigate, which is the highest level of all frigates. However, he does not know what the T2 level is.
Ling Feng said with a smile: ”simply put, T2 is the second generation of warships. It is not the same generation of products as ordinary warships. All aspects of performance are far better than the first generation.”
Xia Fei was completely shocked. Unconsciously, the alliance has developed its own second generation warships. However, due to the limitation of production technology, this second generation warship has not been popularized, and most people do not even know their existence.
A group of people boarded this Gaia ares class interceptor ship. The structure of the cabin inside is no different from that of other frigates. The crew cabin and command cabin are all designed according to the rules and regulations, and there is no special outstanding place.
Arrange the room for everyone, Ling Feng leads Xia Fei to the command room, where there is a captain with a beard who is busy working.
”Departure, destination, capital circle.” Ling Feng ordered in a deep voice.
Xia Fei frowned slightly. ”Are we not going directly to the star region of ndara?”
Ling Feng said, ”Lord Thuram is going to go with you this time, so you have to go back to the capital to meet you first.”
Xiafei nodded. Originally, it took more than a month to get to dahek from here. Now with this interceptor, it only takes 20 days to get there. Although three days have been wasted in the border area, the overall voyage is about eight days faster than Xiafei's return alone. It turns out that tulam has already arranged all this.
Ling Feng takes Xia Fei to visit all kinds of advanced facilities on the spacecraft, and then the two people come to the rest room and quietly close the door.
”Brother Xiafei, how does this ares class interceptor feel?” Ling Feng asked.
Xia Fei nodded heavily. ”It's very good, especially the improvement of electronic system and power system. Its level is just incredible. I don't know what speed limit this ship can reach?”
”Interceptors, as the name suggests, mean to intercept and pursue. If you want to catch up with the enemy, you must have faster speed and more accurate positioning than it, and capture them in one fell swoop. This is the ultimate goal of interceptor ships designed.”
”With the vampire's black snake 130 engine, the ship's maximum speed should exceed 30000 meters per second.” Ling Feng said.
Xia Fei said inconceivably: ”so fast?”
Ling Feng said with a smile, ”this is not its limit. It is said that there are several warships of the same type that have been refitted to the limit, and the speed has exceeded 50000. Because this ship has just arrived, it has not yet been able to carry out the modification.”
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and thought for a while, ”is the engine system of this ship the same as that of an ordinary Frigate?”
”Well, again, the reason why it has this speed is that the transition unit is much more powerful than the ordinary frigate, and the increase in cruise speed is due to the lightweight design of the hull. The weight of the Ares class interceptor is only one tenth of that of the ordinary frigate.” Ling Feng explained.
It is not easy to open a temporary wormhole in the universe. It is necessary to calculate the most vulnerable nodes in the nearby space, and then use the wormhole generating unit of the transition engine to forcibly tear up the space and set up a road to the distance.
Environment variables, gravity variables, links between nodes all need supercomputers to calculate, and then carry out precise energy allocation, the amount of data is simply incredible.
The energy generated by the transition engine is fixed. The T2 class warship has been improved on the transition calculation unit to set up a temporary wormhole with the same energy unit.
As for the increase of cruise speed, interceptors abandon the bulky hull, adopt lightweight design and multiple thrusters, sacrifice the defensive performance and firepower of warships to pursue the maximum speed.
Xia Fei wanted to understand all this and said: ”I understand that the biggest use of this T2 class warship is not to intercept opponents in a real sense, but to search and find out, because its weak armor and poor firepower can not bring any threat to the enemy at all.
”Brother, you can see clearly. The interceptor ship is mainly used to cooperate with the pursuit of the fleet. When the enemy is not strong enough, it can intercept you. If you encounter your vampire, I dare not to approach it. After all, the vampire's firepower and energy plunder system is too abnormal, without energy, the Ares class can't play even faster
Xia Fei said with a smile: ”at present, the mainstream of the development of warships is the cooperation of multiple warships. All warships have their own advantages and disadvantages. An excellent warship has never been afraid of shortcomings. What is afraid is that there is no specialty. In that case, it will be mediocre.”
”Take this ares class for example. You can't deny it because of its poor armor and firepower. The fighter plane is fleeting. When it needs to be pushed fast, the advantage of this kind of warship will be shown.”
When we talk about warships, Xiafei can't help thinking about the mysterious Titan class warship. There is no such warship in the world that is perfect. This law can be used everywhere except the Titan warship. After all, Titan class has long been separated from the concept of warship and has become the terminator of the universe.”What are you thinking?” Ling Feng stands up and takes two bottles of energy drinks from the refrigerator, one of which is handed to Xia Fei.
”I'm thinking that if a person wants to wander in the universe, only one warship is absolutely not enough. Several warships with different styles and distinctive characteristics should be equipped to meet different tactical needs.” Xia Fei replied.
”That's right.” Ling Feng said: ”it's better to have a group of trusted teammates to form a composite full-function fleet, each performing its own duties, so as to maximize the combat effectiveness.”
