Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The port area of the LaGrand Day Space Base.

Looking at the Qin Ling, who docked on the berth, his expression was completely frozen on Deng Yuan's face. The whole person stood there and lost speech for a while.

If the previous Qin Ling had merely dismantled the missile system, dotted defensive artillery and reactive armor, which accounted for the majority of the weight, at best it was a rooster that had been plucked, it was now a completely different species.

The interface of the missile module was completely dismantled and replaced with twelve small electromagnetic cannons, as well as a “U” large-calibre mass accelerator located on the axis in the starship.

Obviously, after this transformation, the weapons that were removed in order to reduce the weight will definitely never be able to be installed again...

He swallowed his mouth and after half a day, Deng Yuan only squeezed a sentence out of his throat.

“This is…”

Looking at Captain Deng Yuan standing there, the ark walked beside him and explained with a smile.

“In order to better adapt to the environment within the hyperspace tunnel and to accommodate the command's operational capability requirements for the ship, I asked East Asian Heavy Industries to make some modifications to the hull. ”

“In addition to the mass accelerator that you see as the main gun, along with us, we've replaced you with the newest second-generation controllable fusion reactor as an energy source… of course, these modifications have been reported, all under the authority of the First Fleet! ”

His eyebrows twitched so hard that Deng Yuan finally couldn't bear to look back at the ark and say.

“Damn... my Qinling is a missile cruiser! What have you changed to for me? A large destroyer? ”

Of all ships in the first fleet, only close-range destroyers and small onboard opportunities use kinetic energy weapons such as electromagnetic cannons.

Large ships like cruisers and aircraft carriers, kinetic energy weapons are basically very rare, even if most are used only against spot defense weapons such as ships or missiles that are close to a certain distance.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Deng Yuan would be so angry.

After all, after this transformation, the Qinling's robust missile system was directly obsolete, and it was still the kind that could not be installed back.

“You can also call it a battleship," ignored Deng Yuanshi's spit trough, the ark coughed softly, and said in a comforting tone, “Okay, just relax, the reason for this change is mainly because chemical weapons have serious security risks in the hyperspace environment. And I talked to the engineers at headquarters, and they agreed that this would be the best option to combine combat and security. ”

When I heard that, Deng Yuan almost didn't have a bite of old blood coming out.

“Are you sure this still has combat capability? ”

“There's no fighting power, you'll see when you test it. Rest assured, you have at least twenty-seven missions in the next month, and if anything goes wrong, just let me know. By the way, in addition to the routine reports with Command, I would like you to provide me with an additional experimental report… I will send you the template in a few moments and you can fill it out as you see fit. ”

He reached out and patted Deng Yuan's shoulder, and the ark gave him an encouraging look, smiling.

“Good luck! ”

“The future of the First Fleet depends on you! ”

……

Though the change of face of his beloved ship without his consent is still a matter of concern, an order is an order. As a soldier, he would still complete orders from the command without discount.

It took two days to get familiar with the new equipment on board, and after confirming that there were no problems, the first experiment began soon.

In accordance with the requirements of the experimental outline, Deng Yuanshi commanded the Qinling, loaded with ammunition, to depart from the LaGrand Daytime Space Base and, five minutes after leaving the port, ordered the start of the warp speed engine, which disappeared at an incredible rate into distorted space.

By the time the next second this ship reappeared in the universe, it had reached a space outside an astronomical unit, close to 1.1 million kilometres from the asteroid belt.

“Gravity coordinates confirm… ‘range’ has arrived. ”

“Turn on the radar and search nearby airspace! ”

“Roger! Radar has been activated and is searching… Search complete to confirm that there are no civilian vessels and space equipment in nearby airspace. ”

In the bridge.

Listening to the staff report coming from the front, Deng Yuan's bibliography looked out the starboard window at the ring belt of asteroids and meteorite debris and continued to command in a calm and calm tone.

“Raise the upper power limit of the reactor output to the maximum, turn on the fire control system, and adjust the radar to the So-called enemy mode. ”

“So-called mode has been activated! Retrieving nearby airspace… Report! Missile arrays are being discovered in an area of 1.20 million kilometres away! ”

As the light blue cursor swept over the holographic screen, a string of red dots quickly floated on the radar and projected in the form of an abstract geometry onto the holographic screen directly in front of the bridge.

Looking at the target presented on the holographic screen, Deng Yuanshu gave the order to fire with a powerful voice.

“Fire! ”

With the order of the attack, that electromagnet, displayed on the hull of the ship, instantly released fierce fire towards the front.

Dragging an orange yellow ballistic trajectory, a dense mesh was formed in the dark, dark sky, and even that cold night was hidden and lit for a while.

Looking at the guns firing like shooting, and the storms leaking like waterfalls towards the forward asteroid belt, as well as the starboard windows lit by arcs and traction, Deng Yuan, standing in the bridge, was stuck there.

This is...

Electromagnetic gun?

The electromagnet that takes half a minute to charge?!

Though he has heard of the second-generation controllable fusion horror of energy, how could he not have expected it to be so exaggerated that the capacitive module of an electromagnetic weapon could be cut off directly to achieve the firing of a ship's guns by directly increasing the power of its energy output?!

Everything was actually beyond his imagination and even subverted his understanding of space warfare.

In the face of such fierce fire, no matter how fast the missiles, torpedoes, ship carriers will be avoided. If combined with a fire control system with a quantum processor as its core, it can easily cover each other's ships, even if they are at a distance from an astronomical unit!

Think of it here.

With the advent of warp velocity technology and second-generation controllable fusion, sky warfare seems to have moved from the "Navy 2.0” era of guidance and anti-missile, back to the “ancient” era of queued shooting, from missile firing out of sight, to the hard collision of fire and speed over sight.

At least until the means of defence that can effectively defend kinetic energy weapons - such as shield technology in science fiction films - emerge, I'm afraid this pattern will be difficult to change over time.

“Captain...” Looking at the spectacular scene outside the starboard window, Liu Zhengyi said with a slight trembling voice, “Is this... really a weapon on Earth? ”

He swallowed the spit, and Deng Yuan nodded his head.

“Obviously...”

If he had been dissatisfied with the Command's hasty decision before, as well as the fact that the Ark dismantled the missile system on the Qinling without even asking his opinion.

Now, he has been deeply persuaded by the new equipment on the Qin Ling...

It's so strong!
