The development of the planet is getting on track, and Li Xin has begun to consider more military issues.
Among the satellite cities of the capital settlement, this is a heavy industrial city.
Backed by a big river, it has ample water transportation facilities and is home to many factories of various military industries.
Here, both ordinary civilian power armor and military power armor can be produced, even including a variety of light and heavy weapons.
From the smallest bullets to large main battle tanks, armored vehicles, and even mechas, all can be produced here.
Of course, the more technologically difficult a product is, the slower it will be manufactured and the more resources it will consume.
Li Xin’s job today is to inspect the city.
He entered the city with his guards and began inspecting factories one by one.
In the early days of development, everyone worked together for the same goal, and the people selected were all elites, so there is no need to mention that.
During the breeding process, clones have their memories compiled into their brains, and they have the stamp of seriousness in their work.
During working hours, all of them will do their best to work.
The first thing Li Xin inspected was the manufacturing factory that produced space combat mechas. Compared with other factories, this factory was more difficult to build and was also the most important.
In space battles, it is not only warships that can play a huge role, but also space fighters and mecha units.
Among the design drawings that Li Xin currently owns, he owns all mechas from D-level to B-level.
The mecha units they use for space combat are different from the mainstream mechas in the blueprints.
After all, they originally needed to be built in an isolated star field, and there had to be a certain distinction from the blueprint. From ships to mechas, they were all different from the main force of the blueprint.
Among the mecha units that this factory can currently produce, the land combat model unit is the D-level Yaobai.
The land battle C-class model is scarlet, and the B-class model is azure.
The units of space combat mechas are of another model sequence.
The C-class space combat mecha is the Ranger, and the B-class mecha is the Cavalry.
These types of mecha units are the full range of mechas that can be produced in this mecha factory.
The reason why Li Xin came here to inspect today was because the factory had successfully built the first B-class Cavalry space combat mecha.
After passing through layers of guards and inspecting workshop after workshop, Li Xin came to the first B-class mecha born on this planet.
Unlike the land-based Centurion that Li Xin had previously driven, the Cavalry was much larger in size.
The cavalryman was 52 meters tall, almost twice the size of a centurion.
The reason for such a big size difference is that their combat goals are completely different.
On land, Class B mechas are already the most powerful land combat units. Their 28-meter size is more than enough to carry all the appropriate equipment and weapons.
No matter how big it is, due to the gravity of the planet, its size is too large and it will not play its due role in combat.
The space model of the cavalry has a completely different design and combat concept.
First of all, there is almost no influence of gravity during space combat and flight. Even if there is, the influence of gravity may only be minimal when fighting near some large planets.
Therefore, at this time, some restrictions on the size of space combat mechas can be relaxed to allow them to carry more equipment and weapons.
Another key point is that their enemies' targets are different.
What are the Centurion's enemies? They are the enemy's army units. Most of the enemies are only as big as the Centurion's feet at most.
Facing such a large enemy, it would be a waste for the Centurion to build a bigger one.
The Centurion's main enemy is still the enemy's permanent defensive fortress. Facing such a fortress, the Centurion's size is enough.
If it is bigger, it will not be flexible enough and will not be able to play its due role.
But space-type mechas are different. Their enemies are enemy ships or weapon units of the same size.
Look at the frigate, the smallest unit in space warfare, which is more than two hundred meters long.
The torpedo boat is more than 300 meters long, and the destroyer is already 700 to 800 meters long.
If the space mecha was smaller, even if it could withstand the enemy's long-range firepower and reach the close combat range, it would not be able to cause any damage.
However, the B-class Cavalry Mech is more than 50 meters in size and equipped with a high-speed engine, capable of moving quickly in space.
After dodging the enemy's close-range defense, it can penetrate the void shield of the enemy's large warships and directly tear apart the ship's external armor, and even destroy their weapons and energy engines, etc.
The weapon system of the Cavalry Mecha is very unique. It basically does not carry any long-range weapons, because in space battles, the long-range firepower of the mecha is simply not worth mentioning compared to the firepower of the battleship.
On the left arm of the Valiant, there is a large-caliber plasma jet cannon, or a heavy laser cannon, the caliber of which is at least twice that of the Centurion's weapon.
The Cavalry will not carry explosive weapons such as missiles and space torpedoes, which are weapon systems that only space fighters can carry.
The cavalrymen's right arms can wield super-large power weapons, usually power weapons such as ship-cutting swords.
The blade of this power weapon alone is more than 40 meters long. With the enormous power of the cavalry, it can even cut a frigate in half.
Even a destroyer can't withstand a few sword strikes once the ship-cutting sword tears through the armor or destroys the power system.
Even if the void shield generator is destroyed, the battleship will be doomed.
A big part of the reason why space mechas are so large is that the void shields they are equipped with have higher defensive power.
After all, no matter how fast the space engine is, there is a high probability that it will be locked by the long-range attack of the enemy warship.
If you want to get close to the battleship, you will inevitably be hit by a lot of long-range attacks. At this time, you can only rely on the void shield to withstand it.
The range defense of the void shield of a cavalry mecha is not even lower than that of a destroyer.
Because the destroyer needs to defend a large area, even if it carries many void shields, the defense power under the same conditions is almost the same.
This also gives the mechas in space an opportunity to exert their power. According to historical records, in many space battles, mechas can exert combat power beyond imagination.
