"After using it like this, the battleship won't lose kinetic energy and become unable to navigate, right?"
Watching Clint speak confidently, Felix expressed his concern. Hearing this, Clint looked at Felix and seriously denied it.
"Don't worry, that won't be a problem. After completing the atmospheric breakthrough, the battleship can navigate normally without any power shortage."
"That's good to hear."
Relieved that they wouldn't need to rob Peter to pay Paul, Felix felt much more at ease. As he continued examining the battleship, Clint beside him began speaking again, taking on the role of a guide.
"Captain Griffith, this battleship has a total length of 420 meters, with an average width between seventy to one hundred ten meters. For power, it's equipped with two high-power deuterium fusion reactors, each with a capacity of twenty thousand megawatts, totaling forty thousand megawatts. The propulsion system consists of two large main thrusters and eight secondary thrusters."
Clint delivered this information in a continuous stream.
While speaking, Clint led Felix to the rear of the battleship. Standing there, Felix observed the layout of the thrusters.
The two large main thrusters were arranged side by side, while the eight secondary thrusters were distributed around them. Four were positioned above and below the space between the two main thrusters, and the remaining four were placed on either side of the main thrusters.
"These two main thrusters look quite similar to the thrusters on the Meteor equipment," Felix muttered to himself as he looked at them.
As if reading Felix's mind, Clint explained to him.
"Because we need to concentrate and release stored energy in a short time, traditional thruster structures no longer meet the requirements. Therefore, we designed these conical thrusters. Paired with adjustable structures on the thrusters, they can adapt and adjust according to thrust conditions.
This prevents damage to the thrusters during concentrated energy release and also allows for thrust convergence in non-energy storage situations, achieving energy-saving effects."
"That's a well-thought-out design."
Hearing this, Felix couldn't help but praise Clint.
After this praise, Clint led Felix to another area of the dock.
Arriving there, Felix watched as Clint operated a touch screen a few times.
The next moment, a 3D virtual projection of the battleship appeared before them.
"Captain Griffith, I think it's better to explain using this!"
"Any way of explaining is fine!"
Looking at Clint, Felix smiled slightly.
Upon hearing this, Clint began operating the controls.
"In terms of firepower, this battleship is equipped with two large-caliber high-energy convergence beam cannons on the upper sections of both side hangars. Below the side hangars, two positron cannons are installed as the main guns of the battleship."
"Wait!"
When he heard about the positron cannons, Felix raised his hand to stop him. Clint looked at Felix, waiting for his question.
At this moment, Felix looked at Clint and asked.
"So you're saying this warship is equipped with two positron cannons?"
"Correct, it has two positron cannons."
Clint responded seriously as he noticed the doubt on Felix's face. Seeing his earnest expression, Felix couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"I recall positron cannons were developed by the Earth Alliance, right? At this point, the Archangel isn't even fully constructed yet. Where did you get this technology?" "Captain Griffis, do you have any other questions?"
Clint's voice rang in his ears.
Felix was pulled back from his thoughts by the sound. Looking at Clint, he shook his head and thought to himself.
Whatever! If they can develop something like a neutron jammer, creating a positron cannon isn't that surprising either. "Please continue with the introduction."
"Understood."
Clint gave a slight nod before continuing. "In addition to the two large-caliber beam cannons and two main guns, the warship is also equipped with four small beam cannons and multiple close-defense Vulcan cannons."
As he spoke, Clint manipulated the holographic projection while continuing his explanation. "The bow is equipped with four sets of sixteen large missile launchers, while the entire ship carries seventy conventional vertical missile launchers. The upper stern has eight sets of thirty-two launchers, the lower stern has two sets of eighteen, and the lower mid-section has two sets of twenty. These missile launchers can fire various types of missiles, providing multiple firepower options."
"There are also twelve torpedo launchers installed beneath the mid-section for attacking underwater targets."
At this point, Clint paused as if thirsty. Looking at him, Felix joked with a smile, "Mr. Clint, you can take a break if you're tired."
"It's fine."
Clint waved his hand in response before continuing with the virtual projection. "Regarding the hangars, to meet your requirements, we've specially divided them into three sections with three ejection systems installed at the bow."
"The side hangars are large ones, each capable of accommodating eight MS units."
"The central hangar can hold four units."
"During emergencies, capacity can be increased by forty percent, though this isn't recommended."
"Good capacity. This will allow smoother combat operations."
Felix was quite satisfied with the twenty-unit capacity, as it perfectly met his operational needs. Seeing Felix's satisfaction, Clint relaxed and pointed to the midsection of the warship. "We've also installed an MS maintenance workshop in the midsection for MS repairs and component maintenance."
"Excellent."
Felix nodded slightly with satisfaction. After speaking, he continued examining the warship before suddenly remembering something and turning to Clint. "By the way, does this warship have a name yet?"
"The Ministry of Defense has named it Athena."
Clint relayed the name given by the Ministry of Defense. Upon hearing "Athena," a smile appeared on Felix's face.
"'Athena? This hopes the warship can bring peace and victory in war like Athena!'"
"Captain Griffith, if you feel the name isn't suitable, you can propose a change to the Ministry of Defense. I believe the Chairman would accommodate your request."
Seeing Felix's expression, Clint made the suggestion. Turning to look at Clint, Felix shook his head.
"No, the name Athena is quite good. Let's keep it."
"I'm glad you like it."
Noticing this, Clint smiled slightly and replied to Felix, then shifted his gaze to follow Felix's as they both looked at the battleship that filled him with immense pride.
