Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 376

Chapter 375, Alliance Shipyard

Gu Hang is now drawing 100,000 yuan of technology,

and it is 100% shipped. Moreover, it is likely to be good stuff. After all, even epic technology has a 20% chance of being drawn.

And in this wave of continuous drawing, he did draw an epic technology.

[Spiritual Engine]

This is an engine technology that can directly use high-compression energy crystals.

Things like Warhound Titans are not worthy of using spiritual engines.

This kind of engine is generally used on large Titans and starships. And some medium and large starships, such as destroyers and cruisers, large-scale single engines are no longer enough, and corresponding design blueprints are needed to manufacture engine groups.

With it, and considering the various technologies that are now available, Gu Hang now basically has the ability to build large starships.

But in fact… Now the Alliance has only one small shipyard, and it can only build some travelers.

This is a bit embarrassing.

However, among the elite technologies harvested in this wave, there are also some good things that solve Gu Hang’s problem.

[Shipyard Blueprint].

This is a complete set of technology similar to the Star Port technology blueprint. According to this set of blueprints and the matching black box, a variety of parts can be created to build an advanced shipyard.

At the same time, the elite-level technology extracted this time also includes the construction technology of [Patrol Ship].

This is a serious warship. Although it is one level lower than the frigate, it can barely play a certain role in naval battles in the form of a wolf pack. It can also be used for waterway protection and combating pirates.

The interstellar tunnels are not peaceful.

In addition, there is a technology in the elite level that makes Gu Hang very happy: [Lion King Tank].

The combat effectiveness of this thing is naturally needless to say.

After it can be built, if the armored brigade of the alliance can be equipped with two or three units per brigade, the combat effectiveness will also rise.

Another thing worth mentioning is an advanced technology: [Transport Ship-Flying Pig Type].

In terms of technical level, it is the same as the Traveler, but it is much larger than the Traveler, and even much larger than the serious warship of the patrol ship level.

Although it basically has no combat capability and cannot be modified for combat, it can be considered an armed merchant ship, but its combat power is also rubbish.

However, it is good for transporting goods and passengers. It can carry more than 80,000 passengers at a time and a large amount of supplies, which can be used by these passengers to spend several months in the star realm. A small circulation system and synthetic starch system can be installed inside for emergency use.

Gu’s Trading Company also has a great demand for this thing.

Once it is built, there will be no worries about selling it .

And Gu Hang does not plan to sell it. This thing is economical, practical and reliable. A total of 100 ships can be produced. It can go back and forth from Korojia to the Wrathful Star three times a month, and can go to the Black Arrow Star and back once. It can transport two to three million people at a time, and the migration work will be much easier.

As for the remaining four advanced-level technologies and one basic-level technology, they are not very useful. Some of them are even the production capacity that the alliance has obtained through trade and self-developed technology upgrades, so there is no need to talk about them in particular.

However, when the 10,000-level draw reaches this level, the prize pool does not look as good as it was at the beginning. The probability of epic technology dropped to 10%, and the probability of elite technology was only 30%.

Gu Hang smacked his lips, his hands shook, and he fired another 20 shots.

This time, his luck was pretty good. He first got an epic technology, and the probability dropped to 5%, but in the last draw, he got another one.

These two technologies are [Destroyer-Design Blueprint] and [Fen Tian Torpedo Technology].

Destroyers, this can already be considered a big ship!

The Pegasus Fleet is the second largest naval fleet in the Dragon Eagle Star Region. It is true that the main force is the seven cruisers, but there are only about 30 destroyers. The cost of a single ship is 1 billion at the cheapest, and billions for the expensive models. The difference is in power, firepower, divination, protection… In short, there are many things.

But in general, destroyers can be regarded as a watershed in the specifications of naval fleets. In small naval conflicts, destroyers are killers and are the artifacts of stability; in the battlefield of large-scale naval decisive battles, destroyers cannot be ignored. A serious large ship would not be able to withstand the concentrated fire of a powerful destroyer; when the void shield is overloaded, it may capsize if it is hit by a sudden shot.

When the Alliance shipyard can build destroyers, it will be the time to enter the hall.

However, before this step, the Alliance still has a lot of work to do.

The design blueprint and the supporting black box give the Alliance the ability to build ships;

the spiritual engine, as well as the supporting jump engine, jump protection position, jump identification technology, and adamantium technology… all meet the prerequisite technology for shipbuilding.

However, building a real destroyer is still difficult.

The technical level of the shipyard can be solved in part after obtaining the [Shipyard Blueprint]; technical workers can be trained; but the destroyer must have weapons and protection, otherwise it is just a hull.

Although the hull of a starship is also valuable, this is the basis, but after all, Gu Hang does not want to build it and then sell it.

What’s more, if the hull is built and then sent to others for processing, the profit will be greatly reduced.

However, this problem was solved later.

In these twenty consecutive draws, Gu Hang also drew six elite-level technologies. Among them, there are two M-level weapons, namely [M-type specification ‘Hot Hammer’ macro cannon] and [M-type specification ‘Sky-Splitting Axe’ missile].

The firepower of the M-type specification is of course enough to serve as the main gun of the destroyer. Around these two things, the alliance can even develop two types of destroyers in the future, missile destroyers with missiles as the core, and gunboats with macro cannons as the core. In naval battles, they can play different tactical roles.

As for the many secondary guns of S-level specifications, whether it is kinetic cannons, energy cannons, or scalpel missiles, the alliance has corresponding technical reserves.

At the same time, in these twenty draws, the technology of [Energy Shield Generator] was also obtained in the advanced technology.

Although it is not a void shield, it is okay for a destroyer to use an energy shield. Although the void shield is good, the cost of equipping it will soar. In addition to the much higher cost of the void shield itself, it also requires more energy supply, which means that more spiritual engine groups must be equipped. The increase in the number of engine groups is not a simple addition. The design difficulty will increase greatly, and the cost will also increase dramatically.

From this point of view, after acquiring this series of technologies, combined with the past technical reserves, the Alliance Shipyard has a lot to do.

As for the second technology, [Burning Sky Torpedo], this is an even more terrifying thing.

This is a star-destroying weapon. The finished product is as big as several hundred-story buildings tied together. It requires a starship of at least a cruiser or above to complete the launch mission, or it can be artificially detonated after being dropped on the ground.

Its main function is to ignite the atmosphere of the entire world after the explosion, forming a terrifying wave that sweeps across the world. From air to water to light materials on the surface, they will all burn up sooner or later under the chain reaction. The whole world will burn into a big fireball in space within a week or two, and will continue to burn until there is nothing left to burn on the entire surface of the planet. The entire time depends on the size of the planet, which can last for a few months at least and several years at most.

It really can’t destroy a planet, but it is enough to destroy all life on the planet. Only extremely tough, hiding in a very deep, almost sealed place that cannot be burned by the sky fire through the air, and surviving for several months or years, will have a chance to escape – and that’s just a chance. Under the terrifying burning, it will cause serious geological activities, and the underground structure will easily collapse.

But even if they managed to escape, they would have to endure for several months or years. It was also a question whether the underground environment could support the survivors to live for such a long time. Even if they really escaped, the entire surface of the planet would be burned to ashes. How could they survive and continue the race?

This kind of extinction weapon may not guarantee to kill every living individual on the surface, but it is enough to exterminate the race. The few survivors would have no meaning on the worthless planet after the burning.

However, it is actually useless in conventional wars.

It is extremely expensive, and the cost of one is almost equal to that of a cruiser. It

has weak penetration ability and is very easy to be intercepted. A simple defender or reflector can destroy it if it hits it. It is wishful thinking to use it to attack enemy ships.

It can be used as an extinction weapon, but it is obviously not allowed to be used if you want to occupy a planet. The planet will be useless after being used.

And if it is an extinction war, the harsh conditions for release also require the release party to completely occupy and control the orbit of the planet, otherwise it will be useless if it is released by the anti-orbital firepower of others outside the atmosphere.

The most common use scenario is that if the orbit is completely controlled, the battle on the surface cannot be handled, and the planet is not going to be taken, then just launch one shot and exterminate it.

A few months ago, Korojia almost went down this path. If Gu Hang fails to solve the problem, and it is evaluated that it cannot be solved, then apply to the higher-ups and find a big boss who can shoulder this responsibility. Then, make a decision and dispatch a Burning Sky torpedo. While the cult cannot deploy anti-orbital guns to cover the entire planet, run to the back of the planet opposite to the location of Fino City and launch the Burning Sky torpedo. That would be considered as executing the extermination order on Korojia.

Gu Hang thought about it. This technology is very sensitive, more sensitive than all the technologies Gu Hang has obtained in the past.

Things like Knight Mech and Warhound Titan are actually very problematic. The Mechanicus does not mind the spread of technology for things like rifles, tanks, armored vehicles, and fighter planes.

From another perspective, this may also be a tacit understanding between the Empire and the Mechanicus.

However, when it comes to Knight Mech and Titan, two of the Mechanicus’s iconic products, the blockade is more serious.

Although it seems that no war has been caused by this, as of now, apart from the Forge World of the Mechanicus and some places that have a particularly close relationship with the Mechanicus, no other place has been seen that can make it.

Not to mention manufacturing, even non-Mechanicus forces that can use this kind of war machine have not been heard of much – except for the Knight Mech, many feudal worlds will buy it, or directly become Knight Worlds that obey the Mechanicus.

Titans appear on the battlefield, either because of the actions of the Mechanicus’s Skitarii, or because of the actions of the Imperial Army with the participation of the Mechanicus – many Astra Military Corps, Navy, and even under the command of the Planetary Governor, there are members of the Mechanicus.

And for Gu Hang, the situation is very eye-catching.

Compared with the Warhound Titan and the Ranger Knight, the Burning Sky Torpedo may still be a more eye-catching thing.

If it is said that the former two, Gu Hang can be more cautious and stay away from the Mechanicus. Anyway, there is only one Forge World in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region, and it is far away in the Yunluo Star Region, and the information connection with the Tianma Star Region is not close. Gu Hang could have kept the origins of the Titans and Knight mechas a secret to no one, but he hinted that he had received support from a certain sect within the Mechanicus. I won’t go into detail as to who it was.

When the time comes when I really have to reveal it, I will push Wu Jiarong to the front.

I am not allowed to have a genius who can develop a Titan by myself?

Wu Jiarong’s current level has reached the level of the ruling bishop.

As for her, as long as she meets the standard, Gu Hang will upgrade her without waiting for her to upgrade herself.

Gu Hang even thought that when Wu Jiarong’s level is better and his overall power is stronger, and he can withstand greater pressure, he will take the initiative to push Wu Jiarong out and establish a branch sect of the Mechanic Order.

But that is a matter for the future. At present, we should mainly hide and fool around.

We will fool around as long as we can.

However, revealing the Burning Sky Torpedo is seriously contrary to this goal.

This thing is not needed now, and we dare not sell it. It is difficult to mass produce it, so it is really unnecessary.

It takes about four years for a black box to pull out a finished product, so let’s use the black box to produce it.

As long as I have it in my hand and can use it when necessary, it will be fine.

Turning my mind back to the technology lottery, in addition to these, there are four elite technologies.

[Orbital Defense System-Design Blueprint], [Transport Ship-Whale Class], [‘Qilin’ Fighter], [Frigate-Design Blueprint].

They are all very reliable things.

Needless to say, [Orbital Defense System], this set of technology allows the technicians under Gu Hang to fully master all kinds of artillery fire and build a reliable air defense system. The matching detection and locking system can better destroy the attack of the planet.

The rich world – such as the Flying Wing Star, will cover the entire world with orbital defense systems.

Of course, this is very costly, but at least important nodes, such as industrial cores like Weixing City, should be covered.

Each nest city of Korojia has a certain orbital air defense capability, which can be slowed down first; Black Arrow Star actually has it; Angry Owl Star was really built from scratch, so it should be given priority.

[Transport Ship-Whale] This is a transport ship of a higher level than Flying Dolphin.

Needless to say, [Frigate-Design Blueprint].

The acquisition of these two technologies directly further supplements the current production line of the Alliance Shipyard.

When all these technologies can be applied, the entire production line of the alliance’s shipyard will be complete. Civilian ships range from [Traveler] to [Flying Dolphin] to [Whale]; military ships range from [Patrol Ship] to [Frigate] to [Destroyer].

Not only are the ships fully built, but the series of production lines surrounding the ships are also complete. From ship design to ship construction; from shipborne firepower to shield generators; from starports to shipyards…

Thinking of this, Gu Hang was full of confidence.

Why is Feiyixing so rich? Why is it so rich with a development coefficient of level 5 and a population paying 0.5 tax coins in imperial taxes?

In addition to the development of the planet itself, the shipbuilding industry is fierce.

In a construction cycle of four years, they can produce 1 cruiser and 8 destroyers, plus other small warships and civilian ships. How can they not be rich?

Not only can they support the Pegasus Fleet with their own strength, but they can also export and sell in large quantities, and pay imperial taxes directly with ships. In the bloody war between the Dragon Eagle Star Region and the Greenskins, naval battles are an indispensable part, relying on the fierce production capacity of the Winged Star. Otherwise,

why is it that as soon as something happens in the Pegasus Star Region, a star region envoy will come immediately? After settling the disaster in the Pegasus Star Region, she was directly promoted to the Minister of the Interior and became the second person in the star region.

That’s because there is only one Korojia and one Winged Star in the Pegasus Star Region, which is really embarrassing.

And in the future, Gu Hang expects that the Angry Owl Star will be able to achieve a similar status.

As for the last technology, the [‘Qilin’ fighter], this is considered to be a more powerful version of the [Wind Falcon].

The main thing is that the firepower is more powerful.

Moreover, there are actually two sets of technology in the Qilin fighter. One set is used for normal air combat in the atmosphere, and the other set can be modified with some accessories to produce a ship-borne version.

The main reason why Feng Falcon didn’t do this was because the power of Feng Falcon was just a tickle against the starship, and it was meaningless to change it to a ship-borne version; but the firepower of Qilin was already a threat to the warship.

The ship-borne version of Qilin also needed to be modified to match the starship itself. This fighter can be quickly launched into the face of the enemy ship by a special catapult device, similar to the delivery cabin and the boarding ship, and then continuously fire at the enemy.

If you are braver, you can slowly pass through the void shield or energy shield and enter the shield system. You can cover the boarding cabin, you can directly attack the ship, and if necessary, you can stuff a few hundred people in it, and you can also do a second airdrop…

This is another supplement to the combat weapons of the starship, and the army can also benefit.

In addition to these, there is nothing much to say about the remaining advanced and basic technologies.

The same, either you have it, or it is not important, and the better ones are just some upgrades to the existing technology.

…

After drawing 300,000 yuan of technology, Gu Hang still had 450,000 gifts on hand.

After thinking about it, he still restrained the idea of continuing to draw.

Although the lottery is addictive, Gu Hang needs to be realistic.

The hundreds of thousands or millions of grace points in his hand are precious treasures left over from the last war. Seeing that such a large-scale war cannot be fought, relying on the monthly grace points and the rewards of the security war, he can only save tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in a year.

This means that the hundreds of thousands of graces in Gu Hang’s hand cannot be reproduced. He is happy to spend now, but he will cry so hard when he needs grace points later.

If things on Korojia require a large number of troops, a large number of administrative personnel, or something may happen, Gu Hang needs to maintain a certain reserve of grace points.

Now without grace points, Gu Hang feels particularly insecure.

Another reason is that it is not meaningful to draw out more technologies.

This wave of dozens of technologies, whether they are those that Gu Hang thinks are important or not so important, the alliance needs time to digest them.

Drawing out more will cause indigestion.

In fact, it’s quite difficult to deal with it now.

Even if Gu Hang has all the technology, it still takes time to build the full-chain shipyard that he dreamed of.

But fortunately, when Gu Hang was inspecting the building interface, he saw something new.

The four types of buildings, comprehensive college, technical college, Zhongsi College, and civilian/military factories, all have higher-level versions.

The changes in Zhongsi College and the factory are not particularly big. The advanced version only improves the education level and quality. The additional value of the factory’s production efficiency has become higher, which is a pure numerical improvement.

In addition to the numerical improvement, the biggest change of the comprehensive college and the technical college is the addition of two training options.

The training option that appeared under the comprehensive college is called [Qualified Professionals]. The content is about quickly training students to qualified graduate levels based on their majors.

This level is still far from the level of talent and hero activation, but it is also a quick way to mass-produce professional talents.

There are many types of majors in the comprehensive college of the alliance, such as administration, management, economics, commerce, literature, etc.

The gap in related talents has always been large.

The new training project under the technical college is called [Primary Specialist].

This is the lowest level of the mechanical teaching title, but in fact, only 20% of the students who graduate normally from the three-year system of the technical college can reach this level and pass the primary specialist assessment organized by the alliance.

Now, they can be trained directly, which is equivalent to mass-producing excellent graduates, which is also a good thing.

The price of these two training options is 10 points of grace per person, the same price as the political commissar.

It looks cheap, but in fact, for the current huge talent gap in the alliance, the hundreds of thousands of grace in Gu Hang’s hand are simply a drop in the bucket.

However, just like when he built Mingyan City, he trained 40,000 loyal officials in one go. It is certainly not enough to do it comprehensively, but special reinforcement in certain aspects can greatly accelerate development.

It seems that it is time to return to the Angry Owl Star.
