255. The Arms Race Just Started

The Cheer-class Assault Landing Ship, the full name of the Cheer-class Trans-Military Military Transport Ship (-trans-militarytransportship), is a classic warship designed and built by Rossana Heavy Engineering, a subsidiary of Quat Power Dock.

This warship is 752 meters wide, 460 meters wide and 200 meters high, showing a flat and wide triangular shape. A smaller bridge is located behind the warship, and there are no portholes for protection considerations, relying entirely on advanced navigation. systems and sensors to drive.

The Cheer-class assault landing ships are equipped with very powerful firepower, including 12 quadruple-mounted turbo laser turrets, 4 sets of proton torpedo launchers, and 24 sets of point defense turrets. And most of the turrets are arranged on the side of the hull, this design is mainly convenient for orbital bombing.

At the same time, in order to take into account the problem of landing operations, the Cheer-class assault landing ship is equipped with very thick armor, especially the armor at the bottom of the battleship is stronger. This armor uses state-of-the-art technology - compressing the scattered neutrons directly into the armor material, greatly increasing the armor's neutron density, allowing the armor to even withstand direct proton torpedo bombing.

Such firepower and protection, even as a battleship, can be said to be very good. And each Cheer-class assault landing ship can carry 16,000 soldiers, 80 fighter jets and 84 tank armored vehicles, in addition to 320 armed hoverbikes as a reconnaissance force.

And the powerful engines of the spacecraft determine that they can easily enter and exit the planet's atmosphere for combat.

That is to say, a cheerleader-class assault landing ship can transport a whole legion of soldiers, and can directly provide air cover and even orbital bombing support for the legion.

There is no doubt that the appearance of the Cheer-class assault landing ship absolutely violated the agreement of Rusan reform! And the ship has now entered the testing stage, in other words, the Quat Power Dock has already regarded the Ruusan reform as waste paper a few years ago.

Now the Quat Power Dock has announced the battleship, and the meaning is clear. Anyway, whether you place an order in the Galactic Republic or not, I have already built the things and put them here. Not only that, but they are also very powerful and very easy to use. It is up to you to buy them or not.

In response to the Cheer-class Assault Landing Ships, the Trade Federation announced two plans. The first is to transform the giant cargo ship that it owns, and the transformed cargo ship will be able to be used as a large warship.

And their second plan is to cooperate with Lundili Interstellar Dynamics to develop a new generation of warships. This warship is developed and improved on the basis of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser to meet the needs of modern combat. The size of the warship is scheduled to exceed 1,000 meters.

This project is called Project Providence, and Quarren people, who are very developed in the shipbuilding industry, also participated in this project, and established a new company, the Freedak Volunteer Engineering Group.

Several other corporate giants have also announced their own plans to build warships.

But what people didn't expect is that the fastest walking here is actually the fourth group!

On the second day after the Quat Power Dock announced that the Cheer-class assault landing ship had entered the testing phase, and the agreement on Russan's reform was in vain, the Fourth Group released a brand new warship

Apocalypse-class light cruiser (-lightcruiser)!

This kind of battleship is 344 meters long and is the technology in "Homeland". It was originally classified as a destroyer (Destroyer), but according to the classification rules of the Fourth Civilization, it was divided into the sequence of light cruisers.

The battleship is equipped with 2 double-mounted large plasma cannons and 2 double-mounted large turbo laser cannons. While possessing good firepower, it is incredibly fast and flexible!

The speed and steering of the Apocalypse-class light cruiser is even comparable to that of the 108-meter-long Vengeance-class destroyer!

Now this kind of high-mobility and high-fire warships has almost become the symbol of the fourth group of warships. Whether they are the Revenge-class destroyers or the cobalt-class heavy frigates, and now the Apocalypse-class light cruisers are very mobile. it is good.

This is because the positioning of these warships is very accurate. They will not pay attention to one ship to complete all the things. All they need is to do their own work well and be fine.

For example, the Apocalypse-class light cruiser has a very clear combat target, which is the opponent's main ship, and only the main ship. Therefore, they are fast, flexible, and powerful, and the spacecraft does not even have a point defense turret. In the future combat planning of the Fourth Civilization, the task of air defense will be handed over to other warships or fighter jets.

Undoubtedly, according to the provisions of the Ruusan reform treaty, the Apocalypse-class light cruiser is also exceeding the standard. Although the exceeding standard is not as blatant as the Cheer-class assault landing ship, it is more practical.

Because the cheerleader-class assault landing ship is undoubtedly impossible to supply to any organization other than the republic, and the republic cannot allow other organizations to have such a ship and it can be on a planet. The powerful warships that launched the attack fell into the hands of other groups.

But the Apocalypse-class light cruiser is different, a ship priced at 3.5 million credits that many can afford.

And more importantly, the fourth group directly announced that now the Apocalypse-class light cruiser has begun to lay the production line and can be ordered, and the first battleship will start construction within 1 year!

Those large and small organizations in the Milky Way suddenly realized - there are people who can walk faster than the Quarter Power Dock!

Although the Apocalypse-class light cruiser has a much poorer performance compared to the most classic battleship of the same class, the 325-meter-long Aquitaines-class light cruiser, but in contrast, the Apocalypse class is not. 10 years earlier than the advent of the Aquatens! Get a head start on the light cruiser market.

In this way, even industrial giants like Quarter Power Dock can not help but really start to take a serious look at the small industrial enterprise of the Fourth Group.

All industrial enterprises and business giants, you will sing and I will appear. Although their positions are opposite, their actions are surprisingly consistent. That is, the treaty of Russan's reform is directly torn and shredded and thrown on the ground again and again. step on.

The behavior of these companies, for the President of the Galactic Council, Phoenix Valorum, who had hoped to negotiate conditions for these business giants by lifting the treaty restrictions, where did this step on his face, it was clearly his butt!
