Chapter 290 Kestrel Class

The battleship modification competition has always been the top priority of the Gold Finger Cup, because players have to optimize an ordinary battleship under limited conditions to achieve the strongest combat effectiveness. (Dingding novel hand-written novel)

This is a comprehensive consideration of the overall quality of the player. The entire modification process needs to be completed by the player alone. If the player's skills are not comprehensive enough, the best results will not be achieved.

The battleship modification competition is also the longest among all competitions. It requires a three-day modification period, three days of knockout rounds, and then the top eight finals on the last day.

After breakfast, Xia Fei took the hover car provided by the competition to the scheduled workshop. A brand-new Caldari Company's Kestrel-class frigate was parked there quietly. All standard frigates in this battleship modification competition were built by the wealthy Caldari Company. It is provided free of charge, and the required parts are also supplied by major accessories companies in the alliance. The Golden Finger Cup only undertakes the venue and invigilation work, and the cost is not large.

These companies are willing to provide so many valuable battleships and parts for the competition. These companies also have their own purposes. Once a champion battleship is produced, the accessories it uses will immediately become popular and sales will surge. Therefore, all major manufacturers will not hesitate to Yu Yili sponsors the Goldfinger Cup, and many companies will also sign contracts with the best players, hoping that they will use accessories produced by their own companies.

In fact, after the first two games, several parts manufacturers came to Xia Fei, hoping to sign a contract with him to become their sponsored player, but they were all rejected by Xia Fei.

The battleship modification competition is Xia Fei's main purpose of participating this time. He wants to fully display the energy shield amplifier in front of the world and gain a place in the fiercely competitive spacecraft accessories market. If he signs the contract, he must use fixed zeros. components, Xia Fei would lose the right to choose and become very constrained.

Furthermore, Xia Fei often refits battleships in a random manner based on inspiration. Even he himself does not have a fixed plan. Maybe he will come up with some new ideas during the refitting process and make temporary changes. Taking everything into account, The main point is that Xia Fei decided to give up the opportunity to get a sponsorship. The immediate benefits are certainly very tempting, but how to develop the quantum company he founded with so much hard work is something Xia Fei has to consider. Once the energy shield is enhanced, The weapon is favored by the entire league, and Xia Fei will receive benefits that are far beyond what this amount of sponsorship money can measure.

Xia Fei stopped at the door of the workshop and took a look at the Kestrel-class frigate from a distance. The first impression of a battleship is very important. Just like humans, a battleship also has its own aura. A high-quality The battleship will give people an indescribable shock at the first moment.

At this time, a Goldfinger Cup tournament coordinator wearing work clothes came over. He turned on the customized computer in his hand and carefully compared Xia Fei's appearance.

"Xia Fei, this is a list of all the parts you ordered. The goods have been stacked in the parts warehouse behind the workshop. If there are no problems, I need you to confirm. Also, if you are not satisfied with this battleship, please You can raise it on the spot and we will contact the manufacturer for replacement as soon as possible," the staff said.

Xia Fei took the list and checked it again, and then said: "If I decide to change the configuration temporarily, how long will it take for the competition to prepare new accessories?"

The staff member smiled and said: "Fifteen minutes, this is a gold finger cup. The efficiency of our Machinists Association is quite good. However, in order to avoid accidents, you first need to confirm the inventory of parts. If there is inventory, we will replace it for you immediately. You have currently ordered a total of 37.51 million worth of parts. According to the competition rules, the allocable quota for each player is 50 million star coins. You still have a lot of funds that can be used freely. "

Xia Fei nodded, "Then it's okay. Thank you."

The staff member looked behind Xia Fei and said, "Are you planning to modify the battleship alone?"

Xia Fei nodded and said nothing.

"It's like this. The competition stipulates that all players can hire assistants. The assistants are all outstanding members of the Machinists Association. You only need to pay a fee of 30,000 star coins per person per day. Of course, the money needs Generated from the 50 million allocable quota,” the staff member said.

Modifying a battleship is not an easy task, so most players will hire some mechanics to help them, which is also normal.

Xia Fei rejected the staff's kindness. It was not because of Xia Fei's fault. It was just that after the bloody matrix incident, Xia Fei became more cautious than before. Li Mo would definitely continue to interfere with him by any means and hire mechanics he did not trust. It is not conducive to keeping secrets. If Li Mo bribes these thieves and secretly obtains Xia Fei's battleship modification diagram, he can use targeted configurations to defeat Xia Fei in one fell swoop.

Besides, Xia Fei is not a delicate nobleman. To him, it doesn't matter if he does more physical work. The most important thing is to eat a few more bowls of rice. The food for the competition is provided for free.

Insert your entry card into the interface next to the door. The alloy door will be closed immediately, and the fluorescent lights in the workshop will be lit immediately. The competition committee has customized this system in consideration of the confidentiality needs of the players. Only authorized personnel can Enter the workshop and participate in battleship modification.

There is a door at the very back of the workshop. When you walk in, you will see boxes of parts neatly stacked. There is also a small suspension vehicle at the door to facilitate the transportation of these heavy parts to the workshop.

Turning on the super microcomputer, Xia Fei compared his list, loaded several boxes of parts to the battleship, and pushed the necessary instruments and tools from both sides.

"The most powerful thing about the Kestrel-class frigate is its missile system, but its armor and shields are very weak, and its speed has no advantage. It can be said to be a standard firepower output warship. How do you plan to modify it?" Ghost? Shadow asked.

Xia Fei knocked on the battleship's armor with his hand, and a thumping sound was heard in the air.

"Since it is a fire-powered battleship, I will give full play to its offensive capabilities. As for defense, I plan to use a double shield enhancement system to increase its shield energy value as much as possible." Xia Fei said.

Ghost thought for a while, "Aren't you going to adjust its speed? The cruising speed of this ship is very slow, and its flexibility is not very good."

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "Speed ​​is completely unnecessary. All contestants' warships are the same. Everyone uses missiles as the main attack method. The missile system has high firepower output and has a precision guidance system. Unless I can take this ship The speed of the ship is pushed to the limit, otherwise it will be impossible to avoid the opponent's attack. The encounter between the two Kestrel-class frigates will definitely be a head-to-head battle, and any opportunism will be in vain. "

Ghosting nodded. The biggest disadvantage of using missiles to attack the enemy is that it requires a long flight time. If the enemy is far enough away, the missile needs to fly for a long time before it can hit. Unlike artillery, which will cause damage to the enemy the moment it fires.

However, the advantages of the missile system are also obvious. The powerful guidance system will quickly lock the enemy. Unless the enemy's warship is very fast, faster than the missile's flight speed, it will be 100% hit by the missile.

The hit rate of artillery is much lower than that of missile systems. Once the enemy's speed is slightly faster, the artillery will lose part of its firepower output due to speed and accuracy problems. Therefore, the duel between warships using missile systems is difficult. Like two samurai without protection, you punch me, and I kick you back. The competition is the ability to withstand a punch. Whoever can't withstand it first will fall down. The winner will always belong to the side with the strongest ability to withstand a punch. .

In fact, for Xia Fei, this kind of head-to-head competition is actually beneficial, because the energy shield amplifier developed by Xia Fei can enhance the defensive performance of the battleship to a great extent.

Ghost Shadow shook his head, "Is it really that simple? This is not like your style. No, you must have other plots."

Xia Fei smiled slightly and said nothing.

"Ha, you laughed. I knew you would still use those weird tricks. Tell me what exactly you think?" Ghosting said excitedly.

Equivalent to six o'clock in the afternoon earth time, the workshop door is closed on time, and the entire modification area has also entered a fully closed state. In order to allow the players to compete with a better mental outlook, the organizers of the competition have set the daily working hours at twelve hours. , all players must leave the modification area.

Xia Fei walked out of the workshop and stretched. He felt tired after a whole day's work, but his energy was very good. In twelve hours, Xia Fei had completed more than half of the modification tasks. If everything goes well, he would be ready tomorrow. All modifications can be completed, and final debugging before the competition will be carried out on the third day.

Constantine walked over from a distance. He was still dressed sloppily and informally, not at all like a prince.

Like Xia Fei, Constantine also carried out the modification work alone. There were 312 players entering this round of competition. Among them, only Xia Fei and Constantine worked completely by themselves. , others will more or less hire a few helpers to reduce the workload.

Xia Fei and Constantine had a casual chat. Constantine said that in addition to participating in the competition this time, he also wanted to marry a woman living in the capital star circle, because most of the women in the Blood Candle Empire where he lived were vulgar in appearance and had weak bodies. He is more or less disabled and does not know what gentleness is.

Xia Fei didn't say anything. After all, this was a private matter and he couldn't say much. He reminded Constantine that as a man, he must maintain his dignity at all times. Only in this way can he truly win the heart of a girl. Constantine nodded heavily. , the story Xia Fei once told has already penetrated into his heart, and since that time, he has never been shameless enough to get entangled with a strange girl.

Avril completed the daytime course and was waiting outside the modification area accompanied by Pang Xing. Constantine was extremely envious of Xia Fei and Avril, said a sour goodbye, and walked back to his dormitory alone.

"Xia Fei Avril" Thuram's hearty laughter came from the distance.

Xia Fei went up to say hello to Thuram, and Avril also showed obedient courtesy to a junior. Thuram seemed to be in a good mood and kept praising Avril for being well-educated and sensible, which made the somewhat shy Avril blush slightly.

"I have something to tell you," Thuram said.

"Is it about Xiaoyu?" Xia Fei asked anxiously.
