Building a Business Empire with my Technological System

Chapter 275: The Modern Warships
Michael spent the rest of his day in his office, browsing through technological systems. He was looking for something specific: warships. Now, what makes a modern warship modern?

A modern warship, he thought, is a marvel of stealth technology. These vessels are designed with sleek, angled surfaces and special materials that make them nearly invisible to enemy radar. The goal is to reduce their radar, infrared, and acoustic signatures, making them hard to detect in the vast expanse of the ocean.

Weaponry has also evolved. Modern warships are equipped with the latest in missiles, torpedoes, and advanced guns. They often feature vertical launch systems (VLS) that can fire a variety of missiles, from anti-aircraft to anti-ship and land-attack missiles. This versatility in armament ensures that a single warship can handle multiple threats from different directions.

Electronic warfare is another crucial component. Modern warships are equipped with systems that can jam enemy radar, deploy electronic decoys, and even engage in cyber warfare. These ships are designed to disrupt enemy sensors and communications, giving them a significant advantage in battle.

Integration is key in modern naval design. The radar, sonar, weapons, and command systems on these ships are all interconnected, allowing for seamless operation. This integration enables quicker response times and more accurate targeting, essential in high-stakes combat scenarios.

Automation has reduced the need for large crews, as many systems are managed by sophisticated software. This allows the crew to focus on mission-critical tasks without being bogged down by routine operations.

The modular design has also become a standard in modern warship construction. These vessels are built in sections that can be easily replaced or upgraded. This approach allows for quicker technological updates without needing a complete overhaul of the ship. It’s like having a smartphone that you can upgrade piece by piece rather than buying a new one every few years.

Multirole capabilities are emphasized in modern naval doctrine. Warships are no longer built for a single purpose. Instead, they are designed to perform a variety of tasks, from anti-air warfare to anti-submarine warfare and surface combat. This versatility makes them invaluable in various combat scenarios, able to adapt to the ever-changing demands of modern warfare.

Nations around the world have adopted these principles in their warship designs. The United States, for example, focuses on large, powerful ships like the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. Although they tried designing the Zumwalt-class destroyers to be the pinnacle of modern naval technology, the project faced significant setbacks.

The Zumwalt class was envisioned as a next-generation destroyer with advanced stealth features, a cutting-edge electric propulsion system, and superior firepower. Its unique, angular design aimed to minimize its radar signature, making it appear like a small fishing boat on enemy radars despite its large size.

Automation was taken to the next level. The ship required a minimal crew, with most tasks handled by advanced AI and robotics. This reduced the need for large living quarters and support facilities, allowing more space for weapons and sensors.

The modular design of the ship meant it could be easily upgraded with the latest technology. New weapon systems, sensors, and other equipment could be added without a complete overhaul. This kept the ship at the cutting edge of technology throughout its service life.

Multirole capabilities were fully realized in this design. The ship could switch between roles as needed, from air defense to anti-submarine warfare to surface combat. It could even serve as a command center for fleet operations, coordinating actions of other ships, aircraft, and submarines.

But the cost was 350,000 System Points. He looked at his balance—it was 225,000. He was short.

Michael leaned back in his chair, thinking. He needed to find a way to accumulate more points. The future of his shipyard project depended on it.

The most efficient way to earn system points is to complete missions. However, there was no mission in progress as all of it was completed.

Then suddenly—the technological system’s notification popped up.

[New feature unlocked!]

[The System will now give the host missions to earn System Points. The host can freely choose the mission it wants to complete.]
