The main gun of the abyss-class bow is a huge focused plasma cannon. In fact, it seems very ordinary in terms of attack method alone, but it may be the plasma cannon with the largest caliber and energy output currently known in the empire. Therefore, its construction difficulties are all about the energy system and high-temperature materials. In addition, there is another problem with this main gun, which is that the range is relatively close, and is almost exclusively used for close-range combat, which obviously does not meet Soshiyan's positioning requirements for it - putting such an expensive warship into close-range combat with the enemy's main battleship,
It is undoubtedly throwing an excellent sniper into a gladiator cage to fight the barbarians in hand-to-hand combat. It is stupid and meaningless. This is also one of the reasons why the abyss level has a poor result. Its design is very unclear. Therefore, the weapon settings make it unable to serve as a long-range gunboat, and the ship-shaped structure makes it impossible to get close to the enemy like a combat barge to efficiently output it with dense sidewalk macro cannons. Its sidewalks are almost all laser cannons, which seem to be shooting towards the opponent like an arrow, and use the super powerful main cannon on the bow to kill the enemy with one blow.
But the problem is that there is no turning back when the bow is opened. What if the main gun on the bow is not hit or the expected effect is not achieved?
At this time, the abyss level must have placed itself in the enemy's attack range, and the huge hull cannot flexibly and quickly transfer. What's worse is that the front of the slender hull is very fragile and can easily be destroyed by the enemy's fierce fire strike, which means breaking the "arrow".
This is another place with a very weird abyss design. It is not a problem to emphasize the attack power in front, but its firepower in front has not been really strengthened. Apart from the bow main gun, the only firepower in front is torpedo. The turret on the bleb of the boat is limited by the shooting range caused by the shape of the ship is not very suitable for attacking the front...
So if you have to describe it specifically, it can be said that the former rebellious mechanical cultivators created a "decisive battle" with a long-range gunboat, but also set up all-round firepower. In fact, there is no strong firepower in any direction. You must approach the enemy's front line and use the main gun on the bow to attack the enemy's main ship in a nearly lottery method. And there are many "decisive battle battleships" that shoot dead corners. (The battle between the Furious Abyss and several frigates can be called the 59-mouse-style in the WOT)
It has to be said that this is very consistent with the research characteristics of some mechanical sages who are "greedy for the big and seek perfection".
Of course, it does not mean that the abyss level is not strong. After all, the tonnage is there. Even a scrap ship has this size in the universe, it is unstoppable. However, its combat effectiveness does not match its tonnage at all, and it should be able to do better.
Therefore, Soshiyan's positioning of it was clear from the beginning. All its designs of a main ship used for long-range artillery battles will revolve around long-range artillery bombardment, which can maximize the concentration of firepower in one direction. This is why mechanical sages designed large ridge turrets. Since this is the case, this plasma cannon used for close-range bombardment naturally needs to be modified. It must change from a "bombardment gun" to a "long cannon", which posed a big problem for the sages. Originally, this cannon was difficult to build, and now it is even more difficult. Therefore, it is almost done when it is towed until the ship is about to be built, and the main cannon has not yet been improved.
In this case, Soshiyang made two decisions to design the world separately. On the one hand, this decision was to speed up the progress, and on the other hand, it also facilitated Ulan Huda to do some "tricks".
When it comes to plasma technology, the human empire is the first to recommend Riza. In the galaxy, plasma-related materials Aida is the best. Their plasma weapons can even be kept cold after continuous launch, but this kind of thing is definitely not possible to find Riza. The material technology on Aida is completely different from humans. Soshiyang doesn't want to really install an Aida's main gun on a warship made by humans. That is not conducive to racial self-confidence, but Soshiyang has a third choice-
"Idiot! Don't move that position! Can you let those cyborgs go away!"
A irritable voice echoed at the construction site. Everyone looked over and found a short, solid and short man wearing a gray closed protective suit and a bearded man pointing the plasma welding gun in his hand at a mechanical priest with a panicked look.
"Groni's beard! How difficult is it to earn you two money! I'll let you get this damn drainer to that damn G7 marking point now! Don't you even understand your own language!?"
Kayang chuckled.
"These short guys have a pretty bad temper."
Soshiyan didn't care about this.
"But their technology is very good, and plasma technology is comparable to Aida. Only they can manufacture this long-range plasma fighter. It can fire a cluster ion with a range of three times that of the original Abyss-class main gun, and its power will not decrease any further."
Because there are no outsiders here, he speaks a little more casually.
"It's a pity that it's too expensive. Even if you sell a planet, you can't exchange it for one. It's no exaggeration to say that this cannon may be the same as this abyss level. For it, I'm owing a foreign debt now."
In order to increase the construction speed of the Abyss and improve its plasma main gun, Soshyan deliberately spent a lot of money to hire a technical team of more than 100 machine forging artists from the Great Soruian Alliance. Of course, this is just a personnel. Plasma fighter can be said to be the main equipment of the current front-line Funeral Alliance fleet. Generally speaking, it will not be sold to the outside world. The Commercial Alliance does not have the right to sell this level of physical objects or technology on its own. It requires a collective vote of the Fire Parliament to reach an arms sales agreement.
Obviously, it is normal that an Astat regiment will definitely not be able to get such a core weapon. The Alliance of the Imperial Union also has a corresponding arms sales restriction order for the human empire, but Soshyan has another identity, which forced the Fire Parliament to pay attention to. After a series of negotiations and discussions, it finally agreed to sell a plasma fighter to Soshyan - of course, the price is also extremely expensive.
Fortunately, the Soruian Alliance agreed to the "quotation" that Soshiyan replaced with his interests on the human side, so he did not let him embezzle the royal treasury large amount.
However, the Fire Parliament also imposed relevant restrictions on the arms sales. For example, the core components of this plasma fighter were transported directly by people. In addition, the subsequent maintenance was also the responsibility of the forging machines. Simply put, it is to only sell weapons, not technology.
Soshiyan understands this. After all, unlike plasma missiles, this thing is already the key skill of Lucai and is generally only installed on their most powerful main ships.
In a sense, the abyss-level components have become more complex, which can be said to be a combination of the technology of humans, furnaces and Aida, but this is not a problem for Soshiyan now.
