Chapter 561 - 562 Hidden in the Dark
Under the arrangement of the Sori National Conference, Mellon. Buka relies on communication equipment to remotely direct the construction decision-making project on the other side of the asteroid belt. Although there is some delay, the distance is not too far, and it is only a few minutes.
However, there are still some opinions on the space construction project, because in their opinion, it is like the disguised house arrest of the highly regarded commander-in-chief of Mellen as a bargaining chip to control the hostages of the space construction project. Even if there is no rebellious mentality, it is not very comfortable in the end.
After Mellon took the initiative to explain, this eased the contradiction between Sori and space engineering construction. historical
Also based on this incident, the national conference in Sori began to believe that Mellon and Stephen were not the same, and the secret surveillance was relaxed a lot.
Once again at work, Myron quietly began to start his plan.
"Mr. Myron, half of the progress of the sowing plan has been completed, and it is expected that the deployment task can be completed in three rotary wheels. At the same time, with the new algorithm, the observation accuracy has been able to accurately locate the three-light brake scale and the moving target with a diameter of one card, which is a huge improvement."
Opposite the communication, the adjutant was very excited to report the latest results to Mellen and was in the position of chief of the work. The adjutant really felt the rapid progress of Carter civilization technology. He even had a feeling that when the Amoeba civilization fleet arrived at their star system, it was not Amoeba. Press them on Carter, but the other way around.
Mellon was calm about this information, and he opened his mouth in a warning tone.
"On the cosmic battlefield, space warships are the protagonists. I want to know how the formation of the fleet is going."
The adjutant who looked at Merron through the video communication was stunned and quickly calmed down, but he no longer showed the happy posture he had just now, and his face was serious.
"We found that titanium can obtain a high-strength alloy when combined with other metal elements. At present, the strongest sample alloy can reach twice the steel strength limit. We are planning to use this new metal to try to build a larger warship. In this way, the fleet on the battlefield will be stronger in the future."
The increase in the size of warships means that they can carry more ammunition, thicker protective armor, and higher quality and more powerful propulsion engines. There is no doubt that under the same technical conditions, the combat effectiveness of larger warships will be stronger, and the giant ship cannonism in the Carter civilization has once again been awakened from the historical heap.
In addition to the design plan for the new space warship, there is also a report on weapons.
"Although electromagnetic guns and laser lasers have finished products, they are still a little worse to mature and militarize and use them for cosmic warfare. At present, they are still under a large number of tests."
Because at the beginning, the blueprint of the designed sample was directly transmitted to the space construction project under the urging of crisis consciousness. It is true that these weapons can be used, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in power. Considering the service of new warships, it is also necessary to consider the design of more powerful weapons.
After reporting on the redesign and optimization of new warships and weapons, the adjutant continues to report.
"So far, we still have plenty of resources, and we are considering whether to expand the number and increase the planned number to 300,000."
The asteroid belt is very rich in resources, and with the productivity provided by one million engineering ships, there is no problem to provide maintenance and maintenance for 300,000 warships.
For this report, Mellon shook his head and answered.
"There is no need. Too much will put a burden on the wartime command system. 200,000 is the limit number of commands that I have planned after many considerations. If the number continues to increase, it will lead to a decline in the overall combat effectiveness of the space fleet. Most of them will work hard on the use of strategy and tactics to carry out space military exercises. We are This field is just a baby who has just learned to walk.
War does not mean that the more the number, the better. There are many battles in the history of the Carter people, hundreds of thousands of defeats to tens of thousands or even thousands of parties.
It's not because of how superb the means of war are.
How advanced the technical level is, just because the wartime command system of the too many parties can't afford too many, so it is encroached on by a small number of parties in a divided way.Similarly in cosmic warfare, the speed of light limits the wartime command system developed based on radio, making it impossible to command combat units efficiently without limit.
"Also, the space warship is to fight in space, but the space environment is not suitable for the survival of the Carter people. Therefore, each warship needs to be equipped with a high-performance life-sistence system. You can't focus on developing weapons and consider other aspects, such as industry."
"No war is inseparable from productivity. In our history, there are many cases where we rely on productivity to smooth out the disadvantages of war. Industry is also an extremely important part. The war is about resources. If the resources of the asteroid belt are not enough, they can be obtained from other places. As long as we can drag Amoeba into a state of protracted war, it is our victory. ."
"In addition, don't be bound by the inherent strategic thinking of the navy in the past. Space is space and the ocean is the ocean. The two are two completely different concepts. Therefore, it is almost impossible for trap weapons such as mines to be effective in space. , what I said... Do you understand?"
When asking, Mellon stared into the adjutant's eyes, who understood and nodded solemnly.
"Thank you for your teaching, Mr. Mellon."
Almost two years after Melan communicated with the adjutant, the first batch of 1,000 new warships were in service. At this time, a small fleet of a single engineering ship and four old warships received a satellite resource development plan to the ninth orbit planet.
When they were about to arrive at their destination, the captains of the five ships opened a cylinder box with a password lock, which contained only one note.
[It's time to leave home.]
coincidentally, five spacecraft issued orders.
"Give me the order, prepare for the reactor to warm up! The spacecraft is about to accelerate!"
"Target eight light years, Barbosa star cluster, green star, advance at full speed!"
The acceleration of the spacecraft is not high, and the ion propulsion is only higher than the rush. All the Carter people on the spacecraft stared at the dust-like home planet outside the window, with a solemn and serious expression.
"Feverwell, mother."
"Grew!"
After five spacecraft crossed the outermost planet of the parent star system and escaped into the boundless darkness of the universe at one-tenth of the speed of light, the order to pursue the defiant spacecraft appeared on the side of the space construction project.
"The engineering ship Balance, the four origin battleships of Battle, Victory, Invincible and King have deviated from the scheduled route! Confirm the defection! Please pursue!"
"Request to pass, Quantum, Speed... Honor, 20 leap-type warships form a temporary fleet to pursue, and must be seized."
