Chapter 543, Battleship Technology

When Gu Hang learned that the problem of the throat passage from Shangdong to Guangfeng in the rear had been solved, he smiled slightly.

From Menghe Star Region to Aozhua Star Region, this passage is a must-go road, and it is the life passage for subsequent wars, so it must be taken seriously.

Opening up the jump points on both sides only makes the road passable; until now, it is relatively smooth and there is no need to worry about threats.

In fact, for Gu Hang, if the Fury Flame Fleet was in Guangfeng Star, relying on the complete planetary defense facilities to defend it, then he really didn't dare to rush forward recklessly, and the war situation would become another.

But the current situation is not necessarily better than the situation that has not happened.

After all, if the Fury Flame Fleet and the main force of their regiment gathered in Guangfeng Star, then Gu Hang could adopt the strategy of fighting a decisive battle to deal with it. The battle itself will definitely be much more difficult, but if one is won, the Aozhua Star Region behind will really be smooth, allowing Gu Hang to step over it.

It's not like now, after circling just two star regions, we have to consider the risk issue and have to stop to digest. Only after eliminating the hidden dangers and risks as much as possible, can we continue to attack.

Since the current stage is to digest the results of the war, Gu Hang also decided to use the gift points in his hand to add some bonus.

The number of gift points he has now is not small.

In the past few years, the monthly gift points of the alliance have been growing. The main growth point is the various planets and star regions in the Dragon Eagle Star Region. After the institutional reform of the alliance, the degree of centralization and the control of the alliance over the local areas are becoming stronger and stronger.

These, in turn, have promoted the alliance to better invest resources and develop the economic construction of these planets according to local conditions.

The rank system of the alliance can effectively improve the living standards of the people.

Improved control, improved productivity and economic level, and improved living standards of the people.

These are the three most important factors for the monthly gift point income.

In addition, there is a large income from the control of the Menghe Star Region.

Although the control, development level and people's living standards are not good in Menghe Star Region, it is so big after all, with hundreds of worlds, and the grace points that can be provided are still not small.

So far, the monthly grace point income that Gu Hang can see has reached 330,000/month.

This is already twice as much as four years ago.

Just these monthly fixed incomes, Gu Hang has earned more than 12 million in the past four years.

However, these grace points have basically not been saved.

The past four years have been four years of preparation for war by the alliance. Of course, the grace points cannot be saved, and they are spent if they have.

Moreover, they are basically spent on various military trainings and various building exchanges that increase productivity.

As for the technology, only 4 million was spent, and four million-level draws were conducted.

These four times, no apocalypse level was won.

The probability of winning the million-level apocalypse technology is only 10%.

However, two epic-level technologies were won.

They are [Engineering Technology Research Facility] and [Phase Weapon].

The former is used for engineering technology research and can help the Alliance build a better research institute. Its greatest help is that it can enable the Alliance to better and faster digest various extracted black box technologies, so that these new technologies, even after leaving the black box, can rely on its own industrial chain to ensure continuous production.

Gu Hang had drawn this kind of thing before, but it was in the direction of biochemical technology research.

Biochemical technology is of course also very important, but relatively speaking, the most important aspect is engineering technology.

The manufacturing industry of various types of machinery, from tanks to mechas, from Titans to starships, are all under the big framework of engineering technology.

With it, the Alliance's own technical level will also be greatly improved, and many things that can now only be produced by black boxes can be reversed and researched.

As for the second epic technology, that is, [Phase Weapon], this thing is also very powerful.

The Alliance had never heard of this thing in the Empire's conventional science and technology before.

However, this thing was mentioned in various records and scattered articles collected by the Alliance Intelligence Department.

In some warbands and some very secretive imperial forces, this kind of green-glowing weapon can occasionally be seen.

Most of the time, they still appear in the form of cold weapons and cannot be made into projectiles; but their destructive power is very amazing. The phase sword made with this technology can almost ignore all material defenses and directly destroy the parts that the holder hopes to destroy.

In other words, if the exquisite power sword in Martins's hand was replaced with a phase sword when the Phoenix Warband and the Fury Warband were fighting a bloody death battle, then the battle at that time would not have reached the point where both of them were exhausted. When the weapon in his hand can ignore the protection of the Terminator power armor and directly hurt the flesh inside, Martins would probably have killed the opponent long ago.

Of course, it is actually the same when it is switched.

However, Gu Hang was not too excited about this.

He checked the detailed technical situation and communicated with the engineers of the secret research institute of the alliance. It was basically confirmed that the alliance had no way to mass-produce this kind of weapon.

Even if there is a mother machine black box, it will not work.

The Alliance does not have the ability to process the basic materials it needs. Even if the production line is pulled out, it cannot be made without the pre-processing parts.

It can only produce one in a week through the finished black box.

Then the application level is very small.

Not to mention large-scale equipment, even if it is equipped to the Phoenix War Corps, it will take 20 years.

Of course, this problem is actually related to the [Engineering Technology Research Facility] technology that Gu Hang pulled out earlier.

Engineering technology research solves this kind of problem.

Of course, Gu Hang did not require a large amount of research power to be invested in this project.

As a cold weapon, although it is very powerful, it can also play a very important role in key battles. However, after all, the use path is relatively narrow. There are finished black boxes for manufacturing and small-scale equipment.

There are also a lot of other important technologies that need the Alliance's technicians to work on. The priority of phase weapons is not high.

This is probably the consumption of grace points in the past four years.

However, although he has not saved any money through the monthly fixed income, it cannot be ignored that the fixed income is only a part of Gu Hang's gift point income.

Another big part of his income comes from war.

In the early years, the war to conquer the entire Menghe star field did not provide much income for Gu Hang.

The main purpose was to conquer Menghe. Although the scale was large and involved an entire star field, the intensity of the war was not great to be honest. The alliance's conquest operation relied more on political means. The enemy's resistance was not tenacious.

In this case, the gift points that can be accumulated will naturally not be too many.

However, when the rebels, led by the Fury Corps, began to move south and the two sides began to fight fiercely in the northern part of the Menghe star field, the gift point income brought by the war began to rise.

And when the main force of the alliance attacked and broke through the Shangdong-Guangfeng channel and recovered the two star regions in the Aozhua star field, the gift point income from the war was further improved.

Although, during this process, the alliance did not find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Fury Fleet and failed to destroy the main force of the Fury Fleet. But after all, the overall scale of the war is here. Whether it is to destroy the space defense system of those star tunnel jump points, or to conquer the war of Upper East Star, or to suppress the twenty worlds in the Proud Claw Star Region... there are wars to fight.

Gu Hang did not spend the gift points from these wars, but saved them all.

So far, the income in this regard has added up to more than 10 million.

It's just right, come to a million-level ten-draw!

The probability of shipment of Apocalypse-level technology in the million-level is 10%. It's just right that there is a considerable probability of harvest in a ten-draw!

And sure enough, as Gu Hang expected, it was shipped.

And it was one of the things he wanted most:

[Apocalypse-level technology: Retribution-class battleship]

Gu Hang's face once again wore a smile that he didn't need to hide!

The battleship technology that has been expected for a long time is finally here!

Although the technology has just been extracted, it cannot be used immediately. After all, from the construction of the dock to the long manufacturing cycle of the starship itself, it is not easy for the Alliance to build its own Retribution-class battleship.

However, this is a good start!

Gu Hang almost immediately informed Wu Jiarong of the relevant technical information through the most encrypted star language communication.

Ms. Wu Jiarong, as one of the sages of the Mingyang Sect, is now an important participant in the close cooperation between the Mechanicus and the Alliance, and has been stationed on the Wrathful Star.

To put it bluntly, it is a return.

The situation has changed. In the past, Gu Hang was thinking about whether to create a Mechanicus skin and a branch sect as a cover for black box technology.

But now it seems that it is not necessary.

The cooperation of the Mingyang Sect is very high.

In the scope of the entire universe and the entire empire, the Mingyang Sect is of course a remote small sect with a very low reputation and very weak power. But after all, they have a long history. As a forging world, Jindi Star has developed for more than three thousand years, and has some foundation.

They have foundation, but their actual power is relatively ordinary. The core of their power is in the Dragon Eagle Star Region, the homeland of the alliance, and their influence covers half of the Eastern Universe at best... Such a sect is simply too good to be true.

The diplomatic exchanges conducted through the black box four years ago were relatively successful.

In this case, Gu Hang also suppressed the idea of ​​letting Wu Jiarong become independent and set up a sect on her own. With her status as a sage in the Mingyang Sect, she can just develop under the skin of the Mingyang Sect.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to just notify the relevant information about the Retribution-class battleship.

He exchanged all the two black boxes about this technology - the auxiliary dock construction and the finished black box for directly manufacturing the core components of the Retribution-class battleship, and tore open the subspace crack and threw the things into his Storm Kingdom.

Most of the black boxes that the Alliance currently has are in the black box workshop in the Kingdom of Storms. These two black boxes will be no exception.

The heroes will work hard in the black box workshop, produce things according to the needs of the research institute, and regularly send things out from the secret research institute on the Angry Owl Star.

According to Wu Jiarong's judgment, taking into account the factors such as the construction of the dock and the direct production of key components by the black box, the first retribution-class battleship produced by the alliance should be completed in six years.

In the future, it will probably be able to maintain the rhythm of producing two ships every eight years.

It should be noted here that producing two ships in eight years does not mean that one ship can be produced in four years.

It is actually very remarkable that the production cycle of a single retribution-class battleship can be achieved in eight years. At most, the alliance can start two ships at the same time with the help of black box technology, and some high-tech and extremely time-consuming manufacturing steps will be handed over to the finished black box to solve.

According to this construction rhythm, eight years later, the alliance will add two retribution-class ships, one Zhuge-class ship, two Holy Grail-class ships, and two Dragon Snake-class ships purchased from the Mingyang Sect.

Counting the eight ships he has now, the number of main battleships will soar to fifteen!

If this scale is successfully reached, then the alliance will have hope even if it fights a major battle with the main fleet of Iron Fury Stone!

After all, the Iron Armored Regiment only has 21 battleships, aircraft carriers, and thirty battlecruisers.

But they can't bring all the ships to the south, otherwise they will have trouble in other directions?

It's a pity...

No matter how optimistic Gu Hang is, he dare not say what this war will look like in eight years.

Maybe, the war will last for a long time and it will really be able to fight until then.

However, will the Iron Armored Regiment allow the alliance to continue to develop quietly in the south during these eight years?

It seems unlikely.

Moreover, the alliance itself needs to adjust its economic structure more. If the production line of two more battleships is launched, the economic structure of Angry Owl Star may not be able to bear it. More people need to be migrated, and more consumer goods and materials need to be imported from the planetary level to support it.

However, Gu Hang did not think there were too many regrets.

With the battleship technology, his war potential was greatly enhanced.

Time would be on his side.

As for the current war, he would fight at his own pace.
