StarCraft In the Palm of Your Hand

Chapter 441 Aircraft Carrier and Battle Cruiser

On this day, Yang Ying brought Katerina, Cass, the Consul of Light and Shadow, and most of the members of the Supreme Council to the shore of a large lake in the southeast of the Floating Continent.

Everyone boarded a pre-built viewing platform, and after taking their seats, they focused their attention on an interstellar gate in front of the viewing platform. Yang Ying and Katerina were naturally sitting at the top of the viewing platform, and Cass and Bokta Na and other core members also sit on this floor.

Here is an air force production base of the Protoss, covering an area of ​​tens of square kilometers. A total of more than 800 giant stargates are neatly arranged on the plain by the lake. The towering buildings are suspended at a height of 500 meters, and the crystal stones on the surface are shining. With a faint blue-white light, it means that they are working. And the Stargate in front of the viewing stand is where the aircraft carrier is built.

The construction cycle of the aircraft carrier is more than two months faster than that of the Terran battle cruiser. Therefore, although the Protoss started building the aircraft carrier later than the Terran side, it was still built a week before the Storm-class battle cruiser.

The first aircraft carrier will be able to complete all production processes today and be officially put into use. Yang Ying came this time to observe and record this historic moment.

Whenever he imagined in his mind what kind of overwhelming interceptor planes an aircraft carrier group could send out to attack the target on the future battlefield, he felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Unlike an aircraft carrier in the game that carries eight interceptors, the aircraft carrier that is about to roll off the assembly line can carry eight formations of interceptors according to its design capacity. The interceptors of the aircraft carrier are not ordinary fighters, they have plasma shields, and once If you are injured, as long as you can return to the aircraft carrier, you can quickly repair it.

It doesn't matter even if it is shot down, the aircraft carrier itself is a factory for manufacturing interceptors, and interceptors can be manufactured indefinitely.

The Protoss has unparalleled space technology. A complete space channel network has been established between the aircraft carrier and the rear stronghold. Any resource can be sent to the aircraft carrier from any stronghold in an instant. This method has reached the extreme of logistics. Every aircraft carrier can operate independently in any environment, and there is no need to worry about supply issues.

The only disadvantage is that this method consumes too much energy, but energy is also a kind of material, and it can also be replenished through space channels. For the races entering the era of the big universe, energy is probably only a small problem. After all, the universe is so big, as long as there is technology, energy can be collected almost arbitrarily, without limit. For example, any star is a gift package of energy that cannot be taken.

"Sir, the technology of the Protoss is really amazing. It is far better than the Behemoth-class battlecruiser in terms of technological content alone." Katerina said softly to Yang Ying after listening to the exchange of several core members.

Although the protoss can communicate through spiritual links, talking with voice is still a very common and important way of communication, just like when some people speak, they use body language to strengthen their expressive ability, and the same is true for the protoss, they are not all A race that does not speak, is lifeless, and only communicates on a spiritual level.

However, the Protoss does not have a vocal organ, and their sound is achieved by vibrating the air with mental power.

"The technology of the Protoss is indeed far superior to that of the Human Race, but in a real fight, it may not be possible to win because of its superior technology. The technological content of the Behemoth Battle Cruiser is not as good as that of the aircraft carrier, but its combat effectiveness is not inferior. In terms of destructive capabilities, The aircraft carrier is not as good as the battle cruiser, after all, the battle cruiser also has two types of weapons of mass destruction, nuclear bombs and Yamato guns." Yang Ying said with a smile.

Katerina nodded, and looked at the Stargate again, looking thoughtful.

After a while, the stargate's flashes stopped suddenly, and everyone immediately focused on the gate. Obviously, the important moment has arrived!

A deep and loud sound came from the door, and Yang Ying knew it was the sound of the light pressure thruster of the aircraft carrier. Then a conical bow protruded from the star gate first, and the entire aircraft carrier slowly emerged from the door. out the door.

I saw that the bow of the aircraft carrier was shaped like a bullet, and the back was covered with a layer of gold and silver additional armor. The body is wrapped, and the bridge is located in the superstructure behind the hull.

It is worth noting that there are a lot of patterns, gaps and hollows on the additional armor, and a large piece of transparent glass is embedded in the ship body. Yang Ying can even see through the glass to see the neatly arranged energy matrix equipment inside the aircraft carrier that emits blue light.

Yang Ying heard Katerina beside her exclaim in admiration: "Ah! This battleship is so beautiful!"

No wonder she was so amazed. The aircraft carrier in front of her was like a handicraft made of gold, silver and crystal. The additional armor on the outside was full of futuristic sense. The two colors of gold and silver outline simple and beautiful patterns, plus bold lines, and large pieces Hollow and transparent, bring strong visual enjoyment.

Obviously, the aesthetic effect of the additional armor is far greater than the practicality, it seems that it is really only added for viewing, not for defense.

However, the fact is that the main defense force of the aircraft carrier is the plasma shield. The difference from the game is that the foundation of the plasma shield is energy. As long as the energy is sufficient, it is very difficult to break, and its defense power is several times that of the physical defense. And if it encounters an attack that can break the plasma shield, then even if the aircraft carrier is covered with thick full-coverage armor, it will be vulnerable.

Ever since, the Protoss designed the appearance of the aircraft carrier into such an artistic image, which is also in line with the Protoss' habit of seeking good and beautiful things.

The shock of seeing an aircraft carrier for the first time is very great. When a person sees an exquisite table setting, he may like it from the bottom of his heart and give a few compliments; and when he sees a large-scale work of art, for example, as big as a car, it is likely that he will like the work itself at the same time. , to be extra impressed by the volume of the piece. However, when he saw an art warship like an aircraft carrier with a length of more than 500 meters, he probably felt nothing but dumbfounded and his mind went blank.

After Yang Ying reflected every detail of the aircraft carrier in his mind, he sighed: "If this aircraft carrier appears in the solar system, no one will believe that it was created by humans. Human warship designers, unless they are shot in the head It has been fought, otherwise this kind of warship would never have been designed.”

As soon as the words fell, the aircraft carrier began to send out interceptor planes, attacking a preset target on the lake a few kilometers away.

It was an old watercraft produced on the earth. More than a dozen interceptor planes cross-attacked it and sank it in half a round.

The weapon that the interceptor is equipped with is a plasma cannon, the power of which is between the second-level and third-level laser cannons, and it is only the first generation now, and there is still the possibility of upgrading in the future.

While watching the aircraft carrier's first exercise, Yang Ying explained to Katerina: "Although there are so many interceptors, there is only one Templar pilot on the aircraft carrier."

"That's amazing." Katerina asked in surprise, "Can a Templar be able to control an entire aircraft carrier, plus so many interceptors?"

"It's not all controlled by him alone." Yang Ying explained, "The main responsibility of the aircraft carrier pilot is to drive the aircraft carrier, while the interceptor has two modes, one is of course controlled by the pilot, while the other is It is fully computer-controlled, the driver is only responsible for pointing out the attack target, and the rest is handled by the computer. Of course, the former is more flexible than the latter, and how many interceptors a templar can control at a time is also a criterion for judging their strength. "

"I see." Katerina nodded.

…

After the unveiling of the aircraft carrier, another week later, Yang Ying and Katerina came to the territory of the human race to participate in the off-line ceremony of the Behemoth Battlecruiser.

This is the Terran air force manufacturing base on the great plain in the northern part of the Floating Continent. More than 2,000 airfields are neatly arranged on the plain, and the scale is better than that of the Protoss.

It was also a viewing platform, Yang Ying and Katerina sat on a higher floor, but the people sitting around them were replaced by high-ranking generals in the human race.

Howard finally took the position of admiral now, and he was appointed as the captain of the first Behemoth-class battlecruiser at the same time, and a group of his men were also assigned to the ship.

Therefore, he did not stand on the viewing stage at this time, but came to the first behemoth-class battlecruiser to do the final adjustment work.

As the flashing lights of the airport suddenly went out, it meant that the battle cruiser had been built, and after a while, Yang Ying's long-awaited behemoth-class battlecruiser drove out of the airport.

The Behemoth-class battlecruiser and the Protoss aircraft carrier have very different styles. There are boxy and heavy armors everywhere, which are divided into two parts, the rear part is larger and the front part is smaller. Yang Ying has sharp eyesight and can see the ship's armor. Various gun barrels and missile launch ports are densely covered on the body.

"Protoss use arcs more, because arcs are aesthetically pleasing, while humans use straight lines, probably because it is more convenient to process." Yang Ying said with a smile.

Director Bila, who is in charge of managing the airport, was also on the viewing platform. He obviously knew the information on the Behemoth class very well. This time he was responsible for explaining the technical details to a group of senior generals.

I just heard him say: "The monster-class battlecruiser is equipped with four six-level laser guns, located in the rear half of the ship, and the secondary guns are eight five-level laser guns, located in the front half of the ship. Energy-level anti-aircraft guns are scattered all over the body, with a total of more than 300. There are also missile launch slots, launch ports, silos, etc., which are also distributed throughout the ship. Of course, the most important thing is the super main gun—Yamato gun, With the power of a seven-level laser cannon, it can almost wipe out a city with one shot, and it is not far from the power of a nuclear bomb. In addition, the Behemoth itself is also equipped with various weapons such as nuclear bombs and p-missiles, which can adapt to any situation. It's a fight."
