“Your Highness, it’s nothing, this design work is very simple,” Yu Cooper immediately spoke up. For these scientists, especially those working under Finn Lewis, their level of confidentiality is very high, they are privy to many details, and the projects they are devoted to can only be realized under Finn Lewis. Therefore, Finn naturally wouldn’t be afraid of them betraying or anything like that.
To tell the truth, there’s no one else on Earth right now who has the means to tempt them into betraying. “Your Highness, the design of these warships is not very difficult. We disassembled several of the so-called second-class and first-class warships we obtained from the Galactic Federation, and after examining their blueprints and capabilities, I can only say that I don’t know if these are the best within the entire Galactic Federation, but such design, how should I put this—forgive my arrogance—is simply crap.”
Yu Cooper’s first sentence left Finn Lewis somewhat astounded; he hadn’t expected Yu to give such an evaluation of the other side’s design. However, Finn didn’t comment but instead waited for Yu to continue his introduction.
“In fact, Your Highness, in terms of technology, although we have made improvements, for this, we rely on the help of Nicolas. I must say, he is a truly great scientist, and he is in no way inferior to the historical Nicolas Tesla!” Yu Cooper praised without hesitation, of course, he would not know that the Nicolas Tesla he was referring to was that very Nicolas Tesla.@@@@
“We have made some improvements on the technical side, but most of the technology we actually haven’t improved that much. This means that such designs could indeed be done by the Galactic Federation, but they haven’t done so. Setting aside other points, Your Highness, you are probably aware that the combat capabilities and other strengths of these warships are quite similar. The real difference lies in the warp drive, which determines the performance of a warship.” While saying this, Yu immediately pulled up an image of a warship for Finn Lewis.
As soon as the warship appeared, it captured Finn’s attention. It was shaped like the Chinese character for “earth,” with the central vertical stroke representing the main body of the ship, while the two horizontal strokes were mostly engines. However, the horizontal stroke at the bow not only contained engines but also housed two Secondary Guns that were no less powerful than the main guns of the ship.
“Also, their warp precision is extremely accurate, to the point where they can accurately warp within a planet’s atmosphere, although this still needs to be tested. The original intention of designing this second set of warp drives was to enhance battle capabilities. Because in fleet combat, neither the main guns nor any other means of attack can be too distant—most occur within a range of one light-day.”
“Within this range, this set of smaller warp drives is designed for fast and precise warp maneuvers, allowing ships to either dodge enemy main gun attacks or pursue the enemy. Of course, such warps do consume a lot of energy, but it’s entirely within acceptable ranges.”
“These points pretty much sum up the improvements to the warp drive in our warships. However, according to our calculations, if warships built this way were to engage the current first-class warships of the Federation, ours could completely crush them,” Yu quickly declared.
Finn listened with satisfaction. To be honest, if Finn had anything to criticize about the Federation’s warships, it would be the warp drives, or rather that they seemed too outdated. But at least from the current point of view, it wasn’t the engines that were outdated, but rather that there was something wrong with the designers’ heads.
At least, even though the warp drive was an improved version, such a design now greatly increased the maneuverability of the entire spaceship. No, it should be said that the maneuverability increased geometrically, and naturally, combat capabilities also increased tremendously.
“Very well, that’s excellent. I hope you will keep up the good work. We need not only warships but also other types of spaceships. Keep striving.” Finn immediately said with a smile, “Regarding the rewards for you, someone will notify you shortly.”
After terminating the video conference, Finn did not hesitate to ask, “Luna Starfield, has this been calculated?”
