The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Chapter 16 Configuring Battleships (Part 2)

The general slots have a total of 6 medium-sized slots for M, 8 small-sized slots for S, and 2 functional slots for A slots.

It is worth mentioning that the destroyer he ordered is not a regular Tornado-class destroyer, but an elite Hurricane-class destroyer, which not only has higher basic attributes than the regular Tornado-class, but also has more slots.

But correspondingly, there are 150 million conventional Tornado-class destroyers and 250 million elite hurricane-class destroyers, which is a full 100 million star dollars more.

Destroyer (Hurricane class): A multi-purpose ship with functions such as assault, air defense, escort, patrol, security, and reconnaissance.

Attributes:

Basic hull: 10000

Base Armor: 10000

Base Shield: 10000

Base speed: 140,000 km/h

Default Tactic: Sentinel Tactic.

Fleet slot size: 2.

Advanced giant gunship bow module, advanced gunship stern module.

Components: energy core, superluminal components, thrusters, detectors, combat computers.

Weapon slots: L4, M12.

Universal slots: M7, S8, A2.

In fact, he wanted the excellent Black Hawk-class destroyer more, but the shipyard didn't have any blueprints for this.

And this was just the beginning of spending money. Next, Li Qing deleted, deleted, and subtracted from the configuration list, installing several slots for this destroyer.

According to the modification limit of the Hurricane-class destroyer, a total of 15 points of modification value, 2 additional L-sized weapon slots each occupying 6 points of modification value were added. It took 50 million * 2 = 100 million star dollars to directly increase the attack power. , the remaining 3 points of modification value added a M medium-sized general-purpose slot that takes up 3 points of modification value, and it cost 10 million, which was just spent.

Total cost: 250 million + 100 million + 10 million for the hull, a total of 360 million star dollars.

Then, there is the second largest consumption item, the configuration of weapons and general slots.

It is worth mentioning that his four L large weapon slots are not equipped with conventional large weapons, but L slot main gun weapons.

In Xinghai, there are four types of weapons: M medium, S small, P slot point defense, and cannon. Each weapon slot is actually two cannons, one on each side of the battleship.

And there is only one slot for the X super large slot, the G missile slot, and the T slot doomsday weapon.

Among them, the large L slot is somewhat special, because there are two templates for this large slot, one is a regular template, and one slot is divided into two shots.

One is the main gun template. There is only one gun in one slot. The main gun equipped with the L large slot is more powerful than a single conventional large weapon, but the price is more expensive.

The four L large-scale weapons are equipped with advanced kinetic energy railguns, which are more powerful than kinetic energy railguns. Each of them is 50 million, and the four weapons have a total of 200 million star yuan.

Advanced Kinetic Energy Railgun: A very advanced kinetic energy artillery that can fire powerful long-range kinetic energy shells.

Genre: Instant, Kinetic.

Damage: 2800-5000.

Rate of fire: 90 seconds/shot.

Hit: 90%.

Range: 1500 km.

Fixed: +50% shield damage.

Fixed: -25% armor damage.

Then the 12 M medium weapon slots are also equipped with kinetic energy weapons, the fifth generation electromagnetic gun

Fifth-generation electromagnetic gun (medium): long-range anti-matter artillery, which can launch powerful kinetic energy shells at extremely long distances.

Genre: Instant, Kinetic.

Damage: 500-700.

Rate of fire: 25 seconds/shot.

Hit: 75%.

Range: 500 kilometers.

Fixed: +25% shield damage.

Fixed: -50% armor damage.

The price of the fifth-generation electromagnetic gun (medium-sized) is 10 million for a set of two, and a total of 12 sets cost 120 million.

After the weapon is configured, the next is the general slot, a total of 7 M medium general slots, 8 S small general slots, and 2 A type functional slots.

Li Qing thought about it, and two of the seven M medium-sized universal slots are equipped with fifth-generation medium-sized energy shields, each of which increases the energy shield value by 4000, and automatically regenerates energy by 2 points per second. The other 5 are equipped with fifth-generation neutron armor, each adding 3000 points of armor, and 2 points of armor repair per second.

The price of both the fifth-generation medium-sized shield and the fifth-generation medium-sized armor is 8.8 million each, and the total of 7 pieces adds up to 61.6 million stars.

As for the 8 S small universal slots, they are fully equipped with fifth-generation small energy shields, each of which increases the energy shield value by 2000 points, and automatically restores 1 point of energy per second.

The price of the fifth-generation small shield is 2.2 million yuan, and 8 pieces total 17.6 million stars.

The configuration of the two A-type function slots is the same, both are advanced afterburners, the effect is +30% start speed, +30% turn rate, +20% normal flight speed, each price is 20 million, and two are 40 million .

Pull up the speed directly.

The combination of weapons and general slots cost 200 million + 120 million + 61.6 million + 17.6 million, a total of 399.2 million.

In addition to the previous 250 million bare boats plus additional slots for a total of 360 million, the total

Li Qing scratched his forehead and couldn't help smacking his lips:

"so expensive!"

The key point is that the configuration has not yet been completed, and five types of reactors, hyperspace engines, thrusters, sensors, and combat computers need to be purchased.

The fifth-generation zero-point reactor destroyer version, 12 million stars.

The destroyer version of the fifth-generation jump engine, the maximum jump range is 50 light years, and the price is 30 million star yuan.

The fifth-generation phase pulse thruster, speed +60%, start speed +25%, turn rate +25%, price 40 million star yuan.

The destroyer version of the fifth-generation tachyon sensor has a maximum detection range of 100,000 kilometers in diameter and a price of 16 million.

The advanced combat system of the destroyer version, hit +10, flight speed +10%, the price is 7.5 million.

Combined, a total of 105.5 million.

Including previous expenditures, a top-equipped destroyer was released, costing a total of 844.7 million stars.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Most of the 1.2 billion star dollars he just earned suddenly lost more than half, which is simply outrageous.

This expenditure directly made Li Qing cancel his previous idea of ​​deploying two top-equipped frigates. At this stage, it is fine to equip one frigate, and he is afraid that he will not be able to afford two.

The allocation is barely affordable, and the frigate's expenditure is much less than that of the destroyer. The main reason is that there is not much money left after the allocation. He has to buy a lot of weapons and ammunition. The first batch of crew members, the original dead crew members need to pay a high pension.

Next, he has to stay in Jinmen for a while, and go to the Engineering College to learn shipbuilding-related skills, which will cost money.

The frigate does not need to be bought, just this one, it only needs to be modified to add additional slots.

The frigate has only five points of modification value, and there is nothing to consider. Four are installed as S small arms slots that only occupy a point of modification value, and one is added as P slot point defense. There are five in total, one for 5 million, and a total of 2,500 Ten thousand.

Including the original slots, there are 9 S slots for small arms, 2 P type point defense slots, 5 S small general slots, and 1 A type functional slot.

The weapons are all fifth-generation flame storm cannons, with a unit price of 2.5 million, and a total of 9 pieces of 22.5 million.

Fifth-generation flame storm machine gun: a large-caliber ballistic weapon that can fire shells at super-high speed.

Genre: Instant, Kinetic.

Damage: 50-60.

Rate of fire: 2 seconds/shot.

Hit: 50%.

Range: 70 kilometers.

Fixed: +25% shield damage.

Fixed: -50% armor damage.

Since it is a frigate, its main duty is to intercept the enemy attacking the destroyer at close range, so it is natural to use the fastest attacking cannon.

The P slot point defense is equipped with a guardian-level close-in rapid-fire gun, and the unit price is also 2.5 million, two of which are 5 million.

Guardian class close-in rapid-fire gun: the last line of defense of the battleship, dedicated to defending against missiles and space fighters.

Genre: Instant, Kinetic.

Damage: 3-3.

Rate of fire: 12000 rounds per second.

Hit: 30%.

Range: 18 kilometers.

Fixed: -75% armor damage.

Fixed: -50% hull damage.

The general slot has three shields and two armors, and the price is 2.2 million * 5 = 11 million star dollars.

Slot A is equipped with an advanced afterburner, and the unit price of the frigate version is 10 million star yuan.

Then the energy core is the fifth-generation zero-point reactor of the frigate version, and the price is 8 million stars.

The frigate version of the fifth-generation leap engine costs 15 million star yuan.

The frigate version of the fifth-generation phase pulse thruster costs 20 million star yuan.

The tachyon sensor of the frigate version costs 8 million star yuan.

The advanced combat system of the frigate version, hit +10, rate of fire +10%, 2.5 million stars.

In summary, after deducting the price of the battleship, it cost a total of 25 million to refit + 22.5 million for 9 fifth-generation flame storm cannons + 5 million for 2 guardian-class close-in defense guns + 11 million for 5 small S-sized general slots + 1000 for advanced afterburners Ten thousand + zero point reactor 8 million + fifth-generation leap engine 15 million + phase pulse thruster 20 million + tachyon sensor 5 million + advanced combat computer 2.5 million.

A total of 135 million, if you add 20 million bare boats, a top-equipped Haiyan-class frigate will cost 155 million.

155 million plus 844.70, a total of 999.7 million, a total of 1.23 billion star assets, suddenly shrunk to 230.3 million stars.

According to the price of a top-equipped frigate, if another one is equipped, the remaining 70 to 80 million may seem like a lot, but it is actually not expensive.

Spending money to play battleships is like flowing water. Many times, you don’t even know where the money is spent. If you don’t save more, one day you suddenly run out of money, it’s over.

Next, Li Qing went to the crew union and handed over the compensation money of the dead crew members.

The senior crew member's pension is 2 million yuan, and the captain of the frigate is 5 million yuan.

A frigate had 3 senior crew members, but fortunately there was no captain. In the end, he paid a full pension of 6 million yuan.

"."

Fortunately, the new ship has just been ordered, and the salary of the frigate is not too much, so it can still be carried.

But when the destroyer is launched and the crew is in place, he will have to leave Jinmen early to make money.

Leaving Yu's Shipyard, Li Qing rented an apartment at Jinmen No. 3 Space Habitat Station, and then he will stay in Jinmen for at least half a year, without a place to live.

Use a personal terminal to open the network of the School of Engineering, and sign up for a series of shipbuilding-related courses online, both online and offline, with a total of tens of millions of stars.

Then, there are intense courses that are as tight as the college entrance examination.

He has registered too much, including a series of courses related to shipbuilding. There are more than 30 courses in total, and there are four or five classes almost every day. Every day is not only a class, but also a class. He frantically absorbs the knowledge of various subjects, and ten times the experience is strengthened. The large innate attribute bonus makes his one class equivalent to dozens of other people's classes, and the speed of skill improvement is very fast.

Li Qing estimated that according to this improvement speed, after completing all the courses, he could try to build frigates by himself.

At that time, recruit a group of shipbuilding engineers, with the assistance of a few senior engineers, and almost directly build frigates.

Selling ships is much more profitable than mining, and arms are huge profits at any time.

A bare frigate costs 20 million, and even if it only earns 10%, it will be 2 million, but in reality, how can it be possible to earn only 10%.

By understanding, the price of a warship consists of three aspects.

Drawings account for 10%, and materials account for 50% to 60%. If there is no stable material supply channel, it will account for 60%. If there is a stable material supply channel, and if there is a relationship, the material can be obtained at a price lower than the market price.

Then normally, the salary of the shipyard and the salary of the shipbuilding engineer add up to about 15% or so.

Then there is the channel fee, which is hard to say.

If it is a shipyard direct sale, naturally there is no channel fee, but some merchants cooperate with the shipyard to get the ship from the shipyard at a low price and resell it, and the middleman must earn some money.

Therefore, the sale of ships built by normal shipyards, with stable supply channels, can make about 20% to 30% of the profit, and no more than 30% at most.

This ratio is not large, but it is not as expensive as a boat, 30% of 20 million, that is 6 million.

A frigate is 6 million, and a hundred frigates is 600 million.

The construction time of a frigate is 60 days. Generally, a large shipyard can build hundreds or even thousands of frigates in a batch. The income of five or six billion in two months is quite good.

It is worth mentioning that the construction capacity of these large shipyards can range from hundreds to thousands, which is different from the shipyards in Li Qing's Gaowei Fortress.

The shipyard in the high-dimensional fortress in his hand is called the superstructure assembly base to be precise. It is a whole shipyard, that is, thousands of frigates with a naval capacity of only one square can be built at the same time, and the naval capacity of more than one thousand squares can also be built. Titan super flagship.

The docks of ordinary large shipyards are just ordinary docks combined, which can build thousands of frigates and destroyers at the same time, but cannot build flagships that occupy a large dock capacity.

To put it bluntly, the 2300 construction capacity of the superstructure assembly base in his hands is a whole.

On the other hand, the thousands of construction capacities in ordinary shipyards are made up of countless construction capacities of only a dozen or dozens. That is to say, the maximum construction capacity of a single ship is only a few dozen, and the maximum construction capacity of a naval ship is 20 battleships. It is impossible to build a flagship with a naval capacity of several hundred tiles.

Moreover, the shipyard of Li Qing's superstructure assembly base has an attribute, that is, the shipbuilding speed is increased by 100%.

This means that the construction time of a normal frigate is 60 days, but this superstructure assembly base can be built in only 30 days, and the time has been reduced by half.

And it only needs 1 chief engineer, 2 senior naval architects and 30 ordinary engineers to build it.

This superstructure assembly base now has a dock capacity of 2,300, and theoretically requires 2,300 senior naval architects and 69,000 ordinary engineers to fully operate.

And this is just to build frigates. If destroyers, cruisers, and battleships are rebuilt, ordinary engineers can be used for common use, but a large number of matching senior shipbuilders are still needed.

Moreover, the dock that is still in good condition is only a part of this superstructure assembly base. The total dock capacity in its intact state is over 100 million. In the peak state, up to 100 million frigates can be built every month. It is outrageous to think about it.

But considering that the size of this thing needs to be measured in astronomical units, the power furnace is a galaxy like the Milky Way, so it is not outrageous to think about it.
