After getting rid of those officials who were in the way, Jiang Fei took over the Skoda Star for real. Then, he began to order the production of the original battleship to stop and switch to the production of the battleship according to the new blueprint.
In terms of weight loss at the base station, Jiang Fei only used the technology he learned from the “Player battleship”blueprint to modify the craft of the merchant alliance battleship to improve the performance of the battleship, however, he did not make too many changes because the merchant alliance’s battleships had already been basically fixed. If he used too many new technologies, it would result in incompatibility.
However, in order to enhance the merchant alliance’s battleships’combat capabilities, Jiang Fei used the “Player”technology to add some new equipment to the battleships. Although these equipment were not big.., it had greatly increased the power of these battleships.
For example, the merchant alliance’s most basic cobalt alloy light frigate. Jiang Fei had used the “Player”technology to add anti-matter corrosion cannons to it. After this cannon hit the enemy, it could burn the opponent’s anti-matter pool, at the same time, it could cause great damage and also deplete the opponent’s anti-matter reserves.
Antimatter was a new type of energy source that was currently being researched by the various major powers in the universe. However, it was already widely used in the “Player”battleships. This new type of energy source was very difficult to obtain, after depletion, the recoil speed was extremely slow. Therefore, even the “Player”battleships would be very cautious when using antimatter weapons. Therefore, the appearance of the antimatter corrosion cannon.., would cause a considerable amount of damage to the “Player”battleships in future battles.
In Jiang Fei’s words, anti-matter was equivalent to the blue bar of a “Player battleship”. On the other hand, the anti-matter corrosion cannon was equivalent to a weak version of Mana Burn. Although the single-shot effect of this thing was not particularly strong, do not forget.., the cobalt alloy light frigate was the most basic battleship of the merchant alliance. The production of this thing was extremely high. The anti-matter burning effect caused by a volley of shots was enough to make a heavy cruiser suffer.
Other than the anti-matter corrosion cannon, Jiang Fei also added cluster warheads to the javelin-class missile frigate. This allowed the javelin-class missile frigate to launch missiles that were close to the target and split into multiple warheads to attack, this reduced the chances of it being intercepted.
In addition, Jiang Fei also brought a huge modification to the grizzly-class heavy cruiser, the annihilator-class quantum advance engine, this thing could allow the grizzly bear class heavy cruiser to enter the vicinity of the target ship at sub-light speed in a short period of time. This upgrade could be said to be a qualitative leap for the grizzly bear class heavy cruiser!
One had to know that the grizzly bear class heavy cruiser of the merchant alliance could be said to be one of the weaker types of heavy cruisers. The reason was that other than its powerful armor, it was completely useless, compared to the energy wave weapons of the Vasari Legion’s Garvis enforcer heavy cruiser, the grizzly-class automatic cannon was simply too weak!
Its short range, long flight time, and other weaknesses caused the grizzly-class to be at a serious disadvantage in long-range combat with other heavy cruisers. However, the automatic cannon, an old-fashioned cheap weapon, was not completely useless, the automatic cannon, which used depleted uranium bullets as warheads, could effectively avoid the enemy ship’s energy shield when it was fired at close range, directly dealing a devastating blow to it.
However, the problem was that in the era of space wars, how many chances did one have to get close to the other party? Who would be willing to wait until one got close before exchanging fire with one?
That was why the Grizzly class had always been called an excellent sandbag, because other than its ability to get beaten up, it had almost no other abilities. When it fought with others, it would be kite-flying material, except when it was at the front of the fleet, other than bearing the enemy’s vigor, it was not worthy of its status as a heavy cruiser.
However, with the Annihilator class quantum advance engine, the grizzly bear could turn around and sing like a serf. With this sub-light speed advance engine, it could quickly charge to the side of the enemy ship. If it was a close-range shot.., the thick-skinned grizzly bear that used automatic cannons was not afraid of any enemy. It would even dare to fight against two Garvis Enforcers!
Of course, other than strengthening the Merchant Alliance’s ships, Jiang Fei had to find something new. Otherwise, the merchant alliance’s original ships would not be able to fight against the “Player”fleet.
The boorish super light frigate was one of them. This thing was smaller than a cobalt alloy light frigate. It was not even much bigger than a patrol boat. The entire ship could be operated by only ten crew members. It was extremely cheap.
Although this kind of ship was small, it was very powerful. Other than being like a guard anti-aircraft ship, it could easily masturbate and defend against the threat of drones brought by aircraft carriers, it could also launch a type of armor corrosion warhead, this thing could easily weaken the armor of a local ship, giving a qualitative boost to the firepower of allies.
However, because the ship was small, one shot was the inevitable outcome. Fortunately, this ship was cheap and had fewer crew members. Moreover, it did not require too much complicated control technology. It could be piloted by a clone warrior, therefore, in space battles, it was considered a pretty good consumable.
Other than these small ships, the most important thing that Jiang Fei brought to the merchant alliance was a support-type cruiser — the ogre-class torpedo cruiser. The defense of this type of ship was weak. Although it was not a one shot kill.., its defense was completely inferior to the level of a cruiser.
Moreover, because it used a harpoon-class cruise missile, its attack speed was slow and its attack frequency was low. Moreover, the flying speed of this type of missile was not fast. It could not hit an enemy ship that was moving very fast, therefore, it was quite useless when it came to ship-to-ship combat.
However, because the range of the harpoon-class cruise missiles was extremely long, even exceeding the range of light energy weapons, and their power was extremely great, even several times that of an ordinary nuclear bomb, this thing was a kind of existence similar to a demolition office, although it could not hit the enemy’s spaceship, it had an extraordinary lethality against the enemy’s base and orbital defense weapons.
Because the space fortress still had orbital defense weapons that could not be moved, the harpoon-class cruise missiles could hit them accurately. Moreover, because it was powerful, it had a long range, therefore, the ogre-class torpedo cruiser could launch an attack from outside the enemy’s range. As long as there was a fleet protecting them, there was no need to lose a single soldier to demolish the base, they could avoid the awkward situation where the battleship and the fortress would suffer heavy losses.
With the help of these technologies, the Merchant Alliance’s fleet was no longer a threat to the Vasari Army’s battleships. However, they were still no match for the “Players”. The reason was simple — the main ship!
Before he had seen the main ship, Jiang Fei would never believe that a single battleship could affect the entire battle. However, after seeing the two “Player main ships”, the overseer-class battlecruiser and the radiant-class battlecruiser.., jiang Fei had to believe that the main ship indeed had the ability to turn the tide of the battle. Therefore, in order to fight against the “Player”fleet, he had also used this technology to develop a type of main ship for the Merchant Alliance!
