Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 281 Equipment Update Again

When the flagship stopped above the assault ship, the guard squad and the mechanical dog squad worked together to drag all the wreckage out of the mine and neatly pile it on an open area in the north of the mine. The remaining wreckage was also being dragged there by the mech squad.

"Cleveland, activate flagship repair mode."

With Lorraine's order, the cargo hold at the bottom of the flagship was fully opened, allowing a direct view of the processing center floor from the ground.

"Optical guidance initiated, descent commencing."

With the help of the data link, Cleveland used the optical observation array on the assault ship to assist the flagship in completing its positioning.

After a three-minute slow descent, the flagship hovered steadily five meters above the assault ship. Immediately afterwards, a large amount of silver light surged from inside the ship, completely enveloping the assault ship, which was emitting a faint black smoke.

Using the self-inspection report transmitted from the simulation, the flagship's nano-core completed the initial repair of the assault ship in just 12 minutes, ensuring its safe navigation.

During the repair of the assault ship, Lorraine discussed with Bai Jin and the Xu sisters, Xu Ling and Xu Yun, the strengths and weaknesses of the simulation in this operation.

"The firepower is severely insufficient, Commander. Even if the assault ship had only one 380mm composite electromagnetic gun, the battle would not have dragged on to this point."

"One more thing, there is some conflict between the small-caliber plasma cannon and the laser main cannon. The two have almost the same effect, but consume a lot of electricity."

At this moment, Cleveland was acting as a scribe, recording in real time the evaluations of the assault ship by the Xu sisters, Xu Ling and Xu Yun.

Once the assault ship's repairs are complete, the requirements for the next-generation assault ship will be largely finalized. Only some minor adjustments will be needed before these requirements can be submitted to the design institute for the design of the next-generation assault ship.

However, Cleveland already had sufficient computing power to allocate some threads specifically for researching next-generation weapons designed for large individuals.

During the flagship's return journey, Lorraine halted the assault team's elimination plan and ordered them to wait in place until the new generation of specialized weapons for large individuals arrived before resuming the elimination operation.

After the assault ship completed its repairs and was fitted with a more powerful stealth system, transforming it into a reconnaissance ship, Cleveland also completed the first batch of ship upgrades and modifications.

With its computing power fully unleashed, Cleveland began simultaneously manufacturing an air traffic control aircraft and a Bifang, as well as optimizing the next-generation flagship upgrade plan.

Seeing the computing power shrinking again, Lorin and Ouyang Nian had no choice but to suspend two production lines with lower weights and equipped with secondary nanocores. These two production lines were originally intended to manufacture two small quantum supercomputers.

These two quantum supercomputers will serve as terminals on a production line with lower weights and equipped with secondary nanocores. The main control program will also be changed from Cleveland to a subroutine specifically for managing weapons manufacturing.

After these two quantum supercomputers were put into use, Cleveland suddenly found that his stress had lessened considerably.

After self-examination, although the two quantum supercomputers did not add much computing power, they freed up a lot of threads, which can greatly improve the accuracy of existing work.

So, Lorraine and Ouyang Nian continued to build the quantum supercomputer and adjusted the subroutines inside it to fit the current production lines.

Two days later, after all quantum supercomputers were deployed to all production lines, the computing power pressure in Cleveland was reduced by 23.8%, and a large number of threads were freed up.

So Lorraine and Ouyang Nian called on almost all the ship designers in the design institute to discuss the configuration of the space destroyer.

"Based on the current situation, the tonnage of a first-generation space destroyer would be slightly less than that of the current flagship, but its size would be around 500 meters."

"We now have a total of three medium-sized anti-gravity units and nine small anti-gravity units left, while the levitation power of a destroyer is an array consisting of one small anti-gravity unit and six micro anti-gravity units."

"The core of all destroyers is still a main gun that runs almost the entire length of the ship, but they need to be equipped with hangars and garages that frigates do not have, and the garage area is required to accommodate an entire medium-sized rapid reaction battalion."

"The hangar area is required to accommodate a squadron of 16 aerospace fighters and four armed tactical transport aircraft."

Upon hearing Lorraine's requirements, these experienced designers buried themselves in calculations and then offered their opinions.

"Based on the existing data analysis, a destroyer manufactured in this way would only have the same protection level as a frigate, but its main gun system could be upgraded to a composite electromagnetic gun of about 1800 mm."

"Moreover, the living conditions of the residents are also a problem."

"We will not consider human habitation for the time being; we will only retain the hibernation and maintenance bays for the unmanned units on board the ship."

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Lorraine sighed and then began to explain.

"An alien ship is approaching; this is a signal detected by a remote sensing satellite."

As they watched the ships cruising through the dark sea of ​​stars on the screen, all the designers fell silent.

"This ship is about 800 meters long, and it carries 13 small ships, each about 200 meters long, outside its core."

"The current basic officers and soldiers of the navy have not received professional training. I cannot allow these officers and soldiers with no experience in space warfare to carry out space combat missions."

"At the initial design stage, these destroyers only had a crew of 3 to 4 people, namely officers responsible for ship combat and carrier-based aircraft combat."

"Due to the unknown risks, they will not command ships in combat from the cockpit, but will instead conduct command from a specially modified space transport aircraft."

Seeing the silence of the designers, Lorraine tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention back to the present.

"Don't worry, I've already obtained some space combat data from these alien races. These officers are already training in the simulator. Now, all you need to do is design a destroyer that meets the requirements."

Subsequently, Lorraine brought out more than a dozen useful Level 7 technologies, covering many areas such as protection, power, and artillery.

Looking at these brand-new technologies, the designers in the conference room were initially excited, but then began scratching their heads frantically.

Although they knew that the wireless core provided mature technology, it would undoubtedly take them a lot of time to learn and understand these new technologies, as novices who had never been exposed to them before.

Looking at these excited but somewhat desperate designers, Lorraine's lips twitched slightly as she led the designers from the conference room to their subsequent studio.

Pushing open the door, what comes into view is not various computers and workstations, but a large number of capsule cabins arranged in a circular pattern.

"These simulation chambers can adjust the flow of time. The maximum and harmless flow rate is currently 1:4, which means that 4 minutes inside the chamber are equivalent to 1 minute outside."

"However, this feature still puts some pressure on our mental well-being, so everyone has a fixed rest time. Please strictly follow the work schedule."
