The fifth-generation technological battleships are more advanced than the existing battleships of Galaxy Defense.
The combat effectiveness of these 120 escort ships is quite good, but they are not the strongest.
The other thirty warships are Phantom-class battlecruisers.
This type of battleship is larger in size, about one-third larger than the Galaxy Defense battleship.
The height reaches 8,300 meters. The larger the warship, the more equipment and weapons it can carry.
The Phantom-class battlecruiser is also a product of fifth-generation technology.
The entire ship is covered with zero-element armor, which is fifth-generation armor. Compared with the alloy armor currently used by Galaxy Defense, its strength and toughness have been improved by at least one-third.
Even if the same amount of materials is used, the defensive properties of the zero-element armor will be higher after the final construction is completed.
The core material of Zero Element Armor is also various alloy metals, but in the Xingyuan Glory Heritage Battle Flag, it has been processed by a special quantum force field and has a more unique atomic arrangement and psychic properties.
Its atoms are connected to each other through an extremely rare state of psychic entanglement, giving the Zero Armor unimaginable strength and toughness.
At the microscopic level, the atoms of the Zero Element Armor form a lattice structure similar to a honeycomb, and each lattice unit contains a powerful energy binding force.
This not only gives the armor extremely high hardness, able to withstand high-intensity physical impact, but also can better transfer energy attacks to surrounding units for sharing.
In general, Zero Element Armor has stronger defense against physical attacks and energy attacks.
In addition, the void shield system of the Phantom-class battlecruiser is even more powerful, almost twice that of the Shining-class battleship.
A thicker void shield means it can withstand more ranged attacks.
In terms of weapons, the Phantom-class battlecruiser is equipped with two Starburst Light Cannons, which use high-energy light energy as the main means of attack and can be regarded as a type of laser cannon.
The range of this Starry Sky Light Splitting Cannon reaches about 900,000 kilometers, which is about 300,000 kilometers more than the Focused Arc Cannon.
The charging time for each shot is similar to that of the focused arc main gun, both of which are about half an hour.
In addition to these two main guns.
The Phantom-class battlecruiser is divided into five core modules.
They are the heavy artillery modules on the upper part of the ship, which are equipped with twelve heavy L-class fragmentation cannons with a range of about 400,000 kilometers.
Six matter projectors, weapons that rely on kinetic energy.
Next is the main gun module, which contains two Starburst Light Cannons.
The third module is the aircraft carrier module, which can carry six hangars for carrying carrier-based aircraft or mecha troops.
The size of each hangar is about the same as that of a Shining-class battleship.
This means that each hangar can carry sixty space fighters and one hundred and eighty unmanned wingman aircraft.
Or a squadron and a half of Ranger troops, sixty space mecha units.
The fourth module is the salvo module, which is equipped with 24 medium-sized gun positions, mainly laser cannons and rapid-fire rail guns, responsible for medium and short-range anti-ship strikes, with a range of about 200,000 kilometers.
The last module is the short-range defense module, where a total of thirty-six short-range defense systems can be deployed.
It covers weapon positions for missiles, short-range lasers, short-range kinetic rapid-fire cannons, etc.
It can provide defense for warships when encountering various carrier-based aircraft, space missiles, torpedoes, and even mechas.
Overall, the combat effectiveness of such a battlecruiser is almost comparable to that of two or three Shining-class battleships.
Especially their main gun, the fifth-generation Starburst Light Cannon, has much greater attack power than the Focused Arc Main Gun.
Li Xin looked at these warships with satisfaction, and then ordered them to be towed to the space dock first.
After Li Xin returned to the command center, a group of senior military officers immediately surrounded him.
Weng Hua asked anxiously, "Grand Marshal, what are these warships?"
Not only Weng Hua was curious, but others were also curious.
Li Xin looked around, seeing everyone's curious eyes, and said, "This is a treasure I obtained from another disappeared civilization in the subspace."
"These warships are all war reserves, brand new and unused, and their technological level is even higher than our current ships."
After hearing Li Xin's words, everyone acted as if they were listening to a story.
Seeing this, Li Xin and a few others boarded a Phantom-class battlecruiser.
As Li Xin walked, he introduced the functions of these warships and the equipment inside them.
He said, "This civilization was incredibly powerful. Although we don't know what caused them to disappear into the universe, their war supplies are a great help to us."
Weng Hua, Liu Yang and others followed Li Xin and inspected the entire warship in a cursory manner along the way.
Li Xin came to the command center and used psychic power to activate the battleship.
Liu Yang said, "Grand Marshal, this warship is, after all, an alien civilization's ship. Its operating system and various equipment are different from ours. If we humans were to operate it, wouldn't it be difficult?"
"But if these devices and systems are not used, this battleship will probably not be able to exert its full combat effectiveness, right?"
Li Xin nodded and said, "Old Liu is right."
"These warships belong to an alien civilization. It is certainly not appropriate for us humans to operate them."
"However, these can be overcome. Next, I will compile the entire warship's control methods and various ship capabilities into a training system."
"Retrain some crews to operate these latest warships."
"In addition, many of the operations of these warships are also carried out using psychic energy. The psychic energy rate of the entire warship is very high."
"When the time comes, we'll need to place more psychics on board the ships, so we can control these warships at the fastest speed."
"Weng Hua, you should arrange these tasks and quickly mobilize enough fleet members to familiarize them with these warships."
Weng Hua nodded heavily: "Yes! Marshal!"
Li Xin looked at the battleship under his feet and ordered, "Hurry up and work! This battleship will serve as my flagship from now on!"
"yes!"
The appearance of the Phantom-class battlecruiser officially made the original Shining-class battleship the Bull Lady.
Li Xin's love for the Shining-class battleship is no longer as strong as before.
Weng Hua asked, "How should these Phantom-class battlecruisers and Guardian-class escort ships be allocated and used?"
Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Gather them all together and form a fleet!"
