Chapter 288: Strategic Command Ship
Galactic Calendar 9431, in front of the space city above the Hans System home planet.
A spaceship with dazzling golden paint on the exterior, shaped like a bullet but with two wings, was quietly hovering in space.
Hans Royal Number One Strategic Command Ship.
If there were any knowledgeable people present, they would definitely recognize this as a strategic command ship that could only be built using material processing techniques from fourth level civilizations and above.
Don’t let its length of less than 500 meters fool you, with height and width only 100 meters; compared to battleships in space that are often several kilometers long, it is pathetically small.
But this type of strategic command ship is absolutely unmatched in terms of defensiveness alone.
Not only does it use materials found only on Titan-class Battleships, but at the atomic level, it employs silver-like super metal processing techniques with strong interactive forces.
At the same time, the ship is equipped with shield barrier technology related to gravitons, nanotechnology, and electromagnetic technology, which only fourth level civilizations have the strength to research and apply.
This shield barrier technology can effectively resist the power of laser weapons and also deceive the locking systems of incoming missiles, preventing continuous tracking.
Moreover, the most crucial point is that the anti-gravity technology installed on this spaceship can be directly applied externally, forming a war fortress force field around it similar to that of an Indomitable-class Battleship.
Under this force field, the trajectories and power of all kinetic weapon ammunition will be affected, making it difficult to hit precisely, and even if hit, the power will be greatly reduced.
Coupled with its own ultra-thick hull armor, this cruiser-level spaceship has defensive capabilities that are not inferior to general flagships.
At the same time, the spaceship interior is equipped with a warp stabilizer, allowing normal warp activities even when affected by warp fields.
The combination of these excellent performances makes this type of ship highly welcomed by the upper echelons of various civilizations.
Even though it is extremely expensive, with a selling price of hundreds of billions of star coins per ship, almost equal to the price of some large flagships.
In the center of the command room inside the spaceship, Hans Ming, dressed in golden formal attire and wearing a headdress inlaid with various exotic gemstones, sat in his independent cockpit with a smile on his face.
He glanced not far beside him at Prime Minister Mai Si, whose expression was cloudy, staring blankly at the simulated external space.
‘Old fox.’
Hans Ming muttered slightly in his heart, and his expression became even more relaxed and comfortable.
Over the past three years, through his efforts and relying on the imperial family elites he had secretly cultivated for a long time, he had not only clearly grasped the true current state of the empire.
He had also completed a series of previously set goals.
Such as the maintenance, commissioning, and stabilization of the Ministry of War’s warships, logistics systems, and other matters.
However, the cost was also quite astonishing.
To achieve these goals within three years, Hans Ming boldly used the star coins accumulated in the inner treasury over many years to ‘buy off’ various interest groups to ensure nothing went wrong.
Many times, thinking about how he, as emperor, had to spend money to bribe his subordinates, he felt extremely resentful toward the prime minister beside him.
He is the emperor!
In Hans Civilization, the only emperor inherited for thousands of years, highly recognized by all intelligent lifeforms.
Now he had to resort to such means to get things done; it was simply a great humiliation.
Fortunately, the established goals were ultimately completed on schedule.
Thinking of this, he eagerly turned his gaze to the scene simulated in the command room.
Directly in front of the Hans Royal Number One Strategic Command Ship, a vast array of various types of warships painted in the deep blue livery of Hans Civilization, nearly covering the entire cosmic background.
At this moment, they were arranged in orderly standard formations at spaced intervals, quietly arrayed in space.
In the Hans Civilization’s warship composition, unlike humanity, the most numerous warship type is exclusively their civilization’s battleships equipped with missile attack weapons.
The original less than 100,000 battleships, under Hans Ming’s massive investment, now reached a fully equipped count of 150,000.
And this number would continue to expand in subsequent plans until the remaining 50,000 empty hull battleships in the Ministry of Industry were fully equipped, which would be the final real data.
In comparison, human civilization’s ship composition differs greatly in this aspect.
Perhaps due to equipping costs, while humanity’s main warships are also battleships, the most numerous are actually Young Dragon cruisers.
After all, in terms of construction costs and equipping costs, the missile weapons of the Young Dragon have a huge cost advantage over the Punisher’s electromagnetic railgun weapons.
At the same time, the various subsystems equipped on cruisers are also lower in price cost than those on battleships.
Or perhaps due to historical reasons and such, human warship composition currently still has more cruisers in number.
This is one aspect.
Looking at other formations, there are special frigate teams for high-speed reconnaissance, cruiser teams for air defense, destroyer teams for near-suicidal charges, and various other special combat teams.
It can be said that aside from the 50,000 empty hull battleships waiting to be equipped in the Ministry of Industry, everything here is now the entire assets of Hans Civilization.
Hans Ming gazed at this blood-stirring shocking scene for a long time before turning his eyes to the side, to an official who resembled him in appearance but was a head taller, almost equal to human height.
Hans Qi.
Although Hans Qi had a similar appearance to Hans Ming, his identity was not of Hans imperial family bloodline.
Perhaps a gift from heaven, this ‘freak’ taller than normal Hans Civilization intelligent lifeforms was abandoned by his family from birth.
According to his biography, this ‘freak’ had an astonishing appetite from childhood, and during his time in the orphanage, he often forcefully robbed other orphans’ food due to not having enough to eat, relying on his own strength.
After enrollment, this ‘freak’ who had no surname at the time was spotted by Luo Er, who was responsible for secretly cultivating royal talents, selected into the training list, received royal support, and began a series of training.
At this point, Hans Qi, now able to eat his fill, no longer had to worry about filling his stomach every day.
And his other talent gradually caught Hans Ming’s attention.
This guy was a natural soldier seed, not only having physical data surpassing all soldiers due to his abnormal physique.
Hans Qi, in subsequent military talent courses, further demonstrated his prowess in this area.
He was a military genius who, even when young, could defeat a bunch of Ministry of War veterans without any chance of retaliation in simulations.
It was precisely because of these reasons that he was noticed by Hans Ming, who personally granted him the surname ‘Hans’ and the name ‘Qi’.
Full name: Hans Qi.
Someone Hans Ming regarded as a candidate to lead this imperial army in the future.
