The armed transport ship is the one with the lowest gold content in the next batch of projects to be harvested.
The prototype of the armed transport ship was designed by sun Cheng himself. Later, after being transformed by Decepticon engineers, the hope test spacecraft.
At first, he piloted the spacecraft and successfully sent his first Decepticons to Mars, where he created a new base.
After returning from Mars, the hope was pulled over by sun Cheng''s Decepticon engineers to collect various data.
After all, it is the first spaceship produced by the base itself that can carry out space navigation. Although the ship type is small, the Decepticon engineers who have been trained by him for a long time also began to carry out the second design of hope to develop more new models.
Finally, based on the hope, the prototype of an armed transport ship was born.
Sun Cheng came to a low mountain more than 20 kilometers away from the control center of No. 2 base. In the huge parking airport that had been almost hollowed out, at this time, more than a dozen spaceships that could hardly see the appearance of hope were stopping here.
He looked up at the top of the mountain and took a subconscious look. The huge alloy plate replaced the top of the mountain. Once these spacecraft with vertical takeoff and landing capability are opened, they can take off directly from the parking airport in the mountain at will.
It seemed that he had received the news that he was coming in advance, and a young Decepticon engineer hurried over.
His name is magnifying glass. You can see from this strange name. It is not sun Cheng''s hand, but Hephaestus, his teacher, who took it for him.
"Commander, welcome to the airport!"
The magnifying glass is one of the assistants of Hephaestus, who has now been promoted to senior engineer. At the beginning, he was just an engineer. With Hephaestus, he has successively participated in the transformation and manufacture of a variety of warships and submarines.
Because of these experiences, after obtaining the construction technology of explorer class cargo spacecraft, sun Cheng transferred Hephaestus, who has experience in large-scale ship design and construction, to be the main person in charge of the production project of explorer class cargo spacecraft.
As his assistant, the magnifying glass also participated in the construction of the Explorer class cargo ship with Hephaestus for a period of time.
Until sun Cheng proposed the project of the hope test spacecraft, Hephaestus sent the magnifying glass to help him optimize the design and build the hope.
After that, the magnifying glass did not return to Hephaestus''s team again.
The young Decepticon engineer is also ambitious. He seems to see great development potential from the hope experimental spacecraft.
When sun Cheng was in a good mood after the construction of the hope test spacecraft, he took the initiative to propose to him to establish a separate project to continue to improve the hope.
He, who was going to Mars at that time, did not refuse the proposal of a magnifying glass.
Unexpectedly, this guy used the resources obtained from the project to manufacture the first batch of three armed transport ships equipped with weapon systems and comprehensively optimized the transport cabin.
A few months ago, when replica soldiers invaded trindadi Island, three armed transport ships arrived at the black market support at the last minute.
However, the special shape of the transport ship and a series of improvement schemes really moved sun Cheng.
Therefore, it was necessary to use the banner of the perfect hope to apply for resources from the base, and was officially appointed as the main director of the "armed transport ship" project.
With the help of a group of Decepticon engineers and technical officers, this guy has used the past nearly half a year to carry out a series of comprehensive transformation and upgrading of the "armed transport ship" from beginning to end.
There are now more than a dozen brand-new sharp weapons that can''t see the shadow of the hope at the airport.
Finally, the finished product of the "armed transport ship" program was officially named "golden carving".
There are two different models of armed transport aircraft and ordinary transport aircraft developed by imitating the military transport aircraft of the United States.
The official name of type I should be "Golden Eagle fighter ship", which has been completely transformed into a combat ship.
It is 27.7 meters long, with a wingspan of 33.4 meters and a height of 16.4 meters. The empty weight of the spacecraft has reached 94.2 tons and the maximum takeoff weight is about 179 tons.
An ordinary Decepticon fighter can fly such a fighter ship well, but in the case of outer space flight, two Decepticon fighters need to operate at the same time.
It carries a 120mm caliber plasma gun, two sets of rocket launching nests and eight groups of missile launchers. It can load more than 90 tons of missiles and other ammunition at most.
On the premise of possessing nuclear weapons in the future, the Golden Eagle fighter ship can even be used as a launch vehicle for nuclear warheads.
When designing this fighter ship, the magnifying glass refers to some design concepts of fighters, fighter bombers and bombers on the earth.
However, unlike those military aircraft on earth that cannot break through the atmosphere, it can fight in outer space.
It is designed as a short-range escort unit of the future transport fleet. At least there is no problem with the escort from earth to Mars. The further distance, the power system will have to be further upgraded.
The official name of type II should be "Golden Eagle armed transport ship", which focuses more on transportation.
It is 55.3 meters long, 59.6 meters wingspan and 21.8 meters high. The empty weight of the spacecraft has reached 196.2 tons and the maximum takeoff weight is about 579 tons.
The weapon system on the spacecraft has been reduced to two rocket launching nests and four groups of missile launchers, which can ensure that it will not have any ability to fight back in case of emergencies.
Because it is more complex than the "Golden Eagle fighter ship", the "Golden Eagle armed transport ship" needs at least two ordinary Decepticons to drive, and at least three Decepticons to fly in outer space.
The "Golden Eagle armed transport ship", which was finalized, can transport up to 60 Decepticons or more than 300 tons of materials at the same time.
Compared with the three prototype ships that appeared on the island of trindadi, there is no doubt that the current Golden Eagle II can really be called an armed transport ship.
"Good design!"
Two blue lights were emitted from his eyes. After carefully scanning the two types of golden carving spacecraft parked in the airport for a while, sun Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
The line of sight, especially on the type I Golden Eagle fighter ship, stayed for a while. His current deformation shape has not been determined after replacing the new body.
The Golden Eagle destroyer is in line with sun Cheng''s aesthetics. After the Cybertron people are deformed, they will fully master the full ability of a certain military weapon or transportation equipment.
Therefore, he has not easily decided to scan the Golden Eagle fighter ship as his current deformation form.
After all, although the deformed Golden Eagle destroyer will bring amazing changes to his speed, even he himself can fly across the planet more easily after deformation in the future.
However, according to sun Cheng''s research on Cybertron in recent years, the fire in his body in the form of golden eagle is estimated to be difficult to complicate the consumption of cross planet flight.
It is conservatively estimated that in Golden Eagle form, he can''t fly to Mars at all, and will be shut down due to the depletion of energy in the fire in his body.
However, it is estimated that there will not be too much time for sun Cheng to consider.
