An Unscientific Mechanic

"Is this the spaceship you guys are using..." Patrick Sara and Azalia Jiule looked at the dozen or so design drawings spread out on the table.

These include Ptolemy-type MS using aviation heavy cruisers, Magellan-class heavy cruisers, Magellan-class aviation-improved heavy cruisers, Salamis-class light cruisers, Salamis-class late models, Musai-class late models, etc. A blueprint of a battleship with the ability to use mobile suits.

"Strictly speaking, this is the same as yours. With mobile suits as the main aviation unit, the quasi-stellar civilization is using or has used combat ships. The design ideas are different, but they all balance firepower and armor. , Carrying capacity and other attributes after the product, and have also experienced the test of actual combat.

All reliable designs. "

"This is all precious wealth..." Patrick flipped through the design appearance of these drawings one by one. "Azalea?"

"Indeed, after comparison, we can see that our NASCAR-level design is indeed too extreme." Azalia Jull's eyes did not leave the drawings.

"So, do you want to order a batch of our foreign trade ships for emergency?" Ian would not say that he modified the late Musai-class model last night with itchy hands, and then finished the modification to the destroyer on the Enterprise. When I assembled the array and sent it, I lost two extra zeros...

When I woke up in the morning, I found out that because the armor only used E carbon steel armor at most, and did not use the super-compressed alloy armor used by ships above heavy cruisers, the destroyer assembly array used nano-robot construction technology that has not been used for a long time.

In one night, more than 30 ships were built...

The hull was stretched to 300 meters, the engine compartment was strengthened, attitude control nozzles were added, and the armor was appropriately strengthened.

Enhanced acceleration and maneuverability.

The main guns were changed to three in the upper part and one in the rear, and one in the lower part. There are a total of six dual-mounted dual-mode GN high-energy particle cannon turrets for Gadisa. There are 2 heavy-duty anti-ship missile launchers, and 2 reloadable 32-unit VLS.

There are 32 container hanging points preset externally, which can be temporarily installed including open MS hangers, material containers, temporary personnel cabins, airdrop containers, armed containers and other standard containers with dimensions less than 25×10×10 and mass less than 80 tons.

The hangar has been changed to the lower hull. There are two hangars in total. Each hangar can hold 3 mobile suits, and 6 mobile suits can be stuffed in in an emergency.

It adopts the style of Arubion's side landing deck, the upper part can deploy the catapult and the lifting MS launch pad.

Because the internal structure of the hull is too compact, only a multi-purpose electromagnetic accelerator can be stuffed in the middle of the hull, and other high-power shaft guns cannot be stuffed in.

And this multi-purpose electromagnetic accelerator is still the product of a weird brainstorming by the technology department.

And this type of electromagnetic accelerator is used as a carrier-based aircraft catapult on some stealth aircraft carriers of the Ministry of Consolidation and the New United Army...

But on some other small ships, they are armed with shaft guns or orbital bombing.

In some civilization circles, this thing also serves as a ground satellite launcher...

Because this thing can accelerate a five-ton object to 9 times the speed of sound after passing through a 200-meter acceleration track...

Or accelerate a 50-ton thing to 1.5 times the speed of sound.

It is very practical in interception operations of aviation forces or orbital bombing operations of low-Earth orbit fleets.

"Eh? Foreign trade warship? Can it be sold?"

"Of course, but they are all special foreign trade versions customized to match your technical level. If you want to directly buy two battleships to directly suppress the Earth's sphere, unless you choose to be vassals." Ian spread his hands. "At that point, it must be configured for you according to our standard fleet."

"...Regarding this, we are still more inclined to communicate with you as an independent country for the time being."

"That would be such a pity."

"So, how should we pay? You can't accept US dollars, right? Could it be gold? Our PLANT is not a gold standard country, and our gold reserves are very small."

Call out Lacus Klein!

Of course, if you say that, you will be hacked to death by many scary big sisters...

"Regarding the price, we hope to entrust you to develop a device that can interfere with a certain range of nuclear fission reactions. If possible, it would be better if it also interferes with nuclear fusion reactions."

"A device that interferes with nuclear fission and fusion? Okay, let's try it. So, how much is this device worth?"

"Let's count as 40 ships, forty aviation cruisers and corresponding accessories. You may need to modify the catapults a little bit. Although we have a general model, I'm not sure if your mobile suits can be used."

"So, deal?" Patrick held out his hand.

"Deal." Ian took Patrick's hand.

Then, on January 1, CE70, the United Nations announced its response to PLANT's proposal, and the two parties agreed to hold talks at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

However, in a terrorist attack, the United Nations building was bombed and collapsed, resulting in the death of more than 6,000 people, including two PLANT members, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and representatives of various countries.

Because of the obvious instigation of the Atlantic Federation behind this incident, PLANT announced that it would stop exporting materials to the earth.

On the same day, the Republic of East Asia announced its withdrawal from the United Nations, starting anew to start the formation of the "Earth Federation".

Neutral countries such as Orb and the Kingdom of Scandinavia responded positively.

The world situation is in chaos.

On February 3rd, when all countries in the world recovered, the United Nations (currently only two member states of the Atlantic Federation and the Eurasian Federation) and PLANT actively negotiated, and invited the Earth Federation to observe and be impartial.

The two parties held a meeting in the lunar city of Ptolemy.

However, due to the failure of the shuttle, the PLANT speaker Siegel Klein and the representatives of the Earth Federation arrived two hours late. Hundreds of casualties.

Regarding this incident, PLANT and the Earth Federation joked that this incident was a self-destruct operation of the Atlantic Federation, and the Atlantic Federation argued that the terrorist action against the lunar meeting was done by PLANT, and this was PLANT's attack on the earth, that is to say, it concluded This is a declaration of war against all natural persons.

At the same time, it was announced that the United Nations had disintegrated and the Earth United had been re-established. (A total of two member states)

At ten o'clock in the morning on February 11th, the Earth Alliance declared war on PLANT.

Five minutes later, the Earth Federation announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with PLANT, and raised the expectation that PLANT would join the Earth Federation after the war.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the Eurasian Federation declared war on the Earth Federation, and the Eurasian Federation's Far East Front Army assembled and marched southward, and began fighting with the Earth Federation Army in the old Mongolia area.

At 8:00 p.m. that day, the United Seventh and Eighth Fleet of the Earth set off from the Ptolemy base on the moon, and three nuclear bombs were moved to the flagship of the Seventh Fleet, the USS Roosevelt.

And... this news is known to everyone except the high-level executives of the Eurasian Federation, PLANT, the Consolidation Department, the Earth Federation, and the Atlantic Federation...
