An Unscientific Mechanic

"Zick zion!"

Hearing the instantly destroyed SS remnants chanting slogans on the public channel, Captain Macross, who was born in the Zeon Lunar Mobile Fleet, lowered the brim of his hat to cover his eyes. "Zion...helmsman, let's head back."

"Everyone, please take a look, this is a report from our reporter from the Jupiter colony ship dock..."

In Gaburo's cafeteria, Ian and a bunch of researchers were having a hot pot, and the TV in the cafeteria was broadcasting reports from Jupiter's dock.

"What a man... The structure is hard to carry the nuclear bomb... Hey, don't grab the meat!"

"How is the public opinion survey of the Truth Listening System? Also, have you found the source of the rumor?" The Federal Speaker turned off the TV and asked the senior officials in the conference room. If you take a closer look, the current federal cakes are basically young and middle-aged people under the age of 35. Veteran politicians over the age of 45 whose thinking and imagination cannot keep up with the development of the Federation basically take the initiative to let the talents take the initiative or are let go.

"Right now, there is no definite conclusion, but according to the latest 1-hour statistics, the public now has confidence in the safety of the colony ship, but they have relatively strong opinions on the captain of the colony ship... I think this captain is a bit... reckless .”

"Tch...the same group of people said that the colonial ship was not resistant to beatings. After resisting the beatings, they said that the captain was mang... so you can go to the construction site to make a fuss."

"Stop talking nonsense, do the public opinion statistics as soon as possible, we can't let people with unstable mentality sit on the colonial ship. Also, the current public opinion statistics can already count the data within one hour?"

"Now it's an informal survey. The investigators are home smart systems such as Xiaox, sxrx, and Tianx. They analyze the data according to the words of the citizens when they chat. The analysis is done by pure computer intelligence to identify keywords. Although there may be errors, it is not necessary. would be too big."

"Well, how is the verification of the frontier-class colonial ship going?"

"Currently, a 5-kilometer-long test vehicle is undergoing navigation experiments. Ecosystem experiments are being carried out in the Nevada Desert and the Taklamakan Desert. The experiments on Ecosphere 8 and Ecosphere 9 are stationed in the two laboratories with 10,000 people. Volunteers conduct experiments on material circulation in a completely closed ecosphere."

"That is to say, will it take some time before the verification of the Frontier class? Why can the SDF-class colonial ship pass the acceptance so quickly?"

"Because the ecological material cycle of the SDF-class colonial ship uses chemical methods, such as oxygen, the carbon dioxide exhaled by the ship's personnel is decomposed into carbon monoxide and oxygen by chemical means or directly decomposed into carbon and oxygen. This is also the method used by general colonies. The plants inside are just for decoration. As for the border-level ecological circle, the designer believes that the large number of jungles on the main island should be able to undertake more than half of the air circulation function."

"There is also food. The SDF class uses large-scale hydroponic farms to cultivate crops. Fish and food animals are bred and multiplied in factory farming factories. The insufficient part is produced by artificially synthesized food produced by the ship's food factory. Meat supplementation. At the border level, animals and plants are planted and raised in a relatively traditional way. Among the 34 sub-islands, 20 are used for agriculture, 10 for animal husbandry, 2 for industry and 2 for sightseeing. Although there are food processing plants and hydroponic farms on the main island that are sufficient to supply the life of the entire fleet, these two are used as emergency measures when all the sub-islands are destroyed. The food in the ship is usually all provided by agriculture. , Animal Husbandry Deputy Island Supply."

"That is to say, border-level, is it more natural?"

"The think tank believes that a more natural scenery can make the members of the colonial fleet have a better mentality, and the residents of the SDF class may have negative emotions after 30 years because of the closed living environment."

"Well, what about the expected departure time of the Kycilia Fleet?"

"It is estimated that in 5 years, the four colonial ships of the Kycilia Fleet are expected to be able to accommodate residents in 2 years. The escort ship Kycilia has a certain dispute with Granada."

"dispute?"

"There are two proposals from Granada, one is a 500-meter-class warship based on the Lulula class, and the other is a newly designed square hull, equipped with 6 main guns, and all the main guns are in the center. A new type of warship on the axis. But Kycilia is not satisfied, she hopes to purchase enterprise-class warships from the Federation, but if Zeon purchases the main battleship that has been beating Zeon violently, the Zeon army may be unstable inside, so Kycilia wants Granada to design a warship that doesn't look like an enterprise class but has performance no worse than the enterprise class."

"This is really... How about the Colonial Ship Escort Fleet of Spending Money Federation? It feels like there has been no news for a long time. Didn't you still clamor for a new type of warship before?"

"Colonel Ian and Gaburo's designers are working on the design of a new 1,600-meter-class warship and an 8,000-meter-class fortress ship. The Federal Space Force is looking forward to this type of warship. In addition, Luna II and Feng Brown's Anaheim is cooperating in the research and development of 400-meter-class variable warships. In this way, there are both conventional fleets and new-concept fleets, and the Federal Army only needs to wait for the successful development of new types of warships." Yang, has been cheerful.

The speaker raised his eyebrows, "How many meters?"

"8000, 1600."

"If I remember correctly, the main battleship of the Federation was only 340 meters long three years ago?"

"Yes, the first batch of Magellan class is 340 meters."

"Last year's enterprise level was 470 meters, right?"

"Well, although the later model expanded to 600 meters, the early model is indeed 470 meters."

"Then why did the size of the next-generation warship directly expand to more than 1,600 meters? It's not a colonial ship!" The speaker directly dropped the pen in his hand on the table. "The budget is limited! Is the price of a 1600-meter warship comparable to that of a 600-meter warship!"

"Speaker, times have changed."

"ha?"

"After adopting nano-robot manufacturing, the 1600-meter-class warship is only less than 10 million US dollars more expensive than the 600-meter-class warship. After completing the initial accumulation of nano-robots, the cost of building a warship is only raw materials and transportation of raw materials. cost."

"Is that so... Then the military expenditure is not..."

"Hehe...the Federation's three immigrant fleets and their escort fleets, together with the rebuilding of the Federation's Third Fleet and the addition of ships from the First and Second Fleets, the Federation will build more than 1,200 combat ships and more You must know that the construction of the escort fleet is undertaken by the Federal Army.”

"Yes, let's continue as usual for the time being. When will the Federation's first colonial fleet set off?"

"It is estimated that the transfer of personnel will be completed in 8 years, and the construction of the fleet will be completed in 10 years, and the grand voyage will begin. The goal of the voyage is New Eden 2, 17 light-years away. If it is suitable for colonization, land on the spot. If it is not suitable, rest and collect resources. , and then divert toward the Large Magellanic Cloud."

"Isn't it exploring in the Milky Way?"

"The 3rd Immigrant Fleet is a new technology research and development fleet invested by major companies on the earth. This fleet is equipped with the latest equipment developed by various large companies, including but not limited to the latest leap engine and Anaheim The GP series of next-generation ms researched and developed."

"Of course the main reason is that the heirs of those big companies want to go to the Magellan Nebula to find the legendary Iskandar."

"... Iskandar? Why don't you say that they went to find Gamilas." (╯° °) ╯︵┻━┻

"So, is there enough fuel?"

"According to calculations, it is enough if there is no battle, but in order to prevent problems, the fleet will not conduct ultra-long-distance transition until the end of the ultra-long-distance transition experiment. What's more, the ultra-long-distance transition engine has not yet been developed. "

"Are you thinking about the 190,000 light-year voyage before the development is complete?"

"Anyway, with the application of nano-robot construction technology, it is not a problem to change the ship's equipment during the battle, let alone change the jump engine." The technical staff pushed up his glasses and smiled.

After this meeting, the Federation began to fully implement the colonization plan. In just one year, 10 million suitable families were selected in the Earth Circle, and targeted training began.

Two years later, in 0083 of the Universal Century, the No. 1 and No. 2 frontier-class colonial ships were manufactured and jumped to low-Earth orbit. Then No. 1 ship landed in the Pacific Ocean, and immigrants from East Asia began to transfer to the ship. Half a day later, the No. 2 ship landed in the Atlantic Ocean, and the immigrants from Europe and America began to transfer.

In the same year, the Behemoth-class 8,000-meter-class fortress ship and the Nibelungen-class 1,600-meter-class heavy battleship were built in Jupiter orbit and began operating tests.

In the same year, 15 ships of the 2000-meter-class space industrial ship Industry 1 were built in the orbit of Mars, and they were incorporated into the Zeon immigration fleet in Kycilia.

In 0084, the 800-meter-class fleet battleship developed by Granada entered the testing stage. In the same year, the Doros 2 space carrier enlarged to 1,200 meters entered service. At the same time, Doros 2 also served as the production plant of the Zeon fleet's fighter jets and escort ships. .

In 0087, the fleet of the Federation's First Immigration Fleet contracted by Zeon was completed. In the same year, Casper became the president of the First Immigration Fleet, and Dozlo served as the commander of the First Immigration Fleet. In order to travel to the terrestrial planet 17 light-years away, New Eden.

Among the onlookers, the Holy Sword of Dawn was also among them. On the viewing bridge, Ian looked at the escort fleet consisting of four SDF-type colonial ships and nearly a hundred battleships, dozens of large industrial ships, more than ten large aircraft carriers, and four Nibelungen-class large battleships. The immigrant fleet slowly began to accelerate.

"Aren't you going with them, Your Excellency Kycilia?"

"I haven't decided whether to stay away from the Earth's sphere yet, Your Excellency Ian. I chatted with Rebil and the others for a while, did you hear that you are leaving too?"

"Well, it's been two years. When a certain event happens, I will withdraw. Anyway, the earth circle is on the right track, so I don't need to watch here anymore."

"Where are you going? To explore the outer universe?"

"Get out of this world."

"!!!!!!!"

"What did the Federation do to you?! What can't you think about?!"

"... I am not going to die, I am going to the next world, across the world, do you understand?"

"...Is Dr. Minovsky's theory true? Parallel worlds?"

"...I haven't met them before. But if I really want to say it, the several worlds I've been to have been confirmed to have a high degree of similarity in history. It's okay for you to say that they are parallel worlds."

"Can we go out and see in our lifetime?"

"I don't know. The core of the cross-world engine is the graviton technology. When the graviton technology develops enough to develop artificial wormholes, the cross-world engine will soon be successfully developed."

"Um."

Ian stopped talking when he saw that Kycilia was done, and he didn't bother to chase after her. Just quietly watching the beginning of the first outer space voyage of human beings in this world with hands behind their backs.

Ten minutes later, the high-power jump engine equipped on the colonial ship opened the fleet-level jump channel, and the fleet gradually disappeared in the pale green light curtain.

"Let's go, let's go too. Captain, change the route and drop Gaburo."

It's obviously a holiday, and it's obviously going home for the New Year, why is the time for coding shorter?

happy new year everyone
