How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 562 Hiding in the Darkness

Under the arrangement of the Soli National Conference, Myron Buka relied on communication equipment to remotely command the construction decision-making project on the side of the asteroid belt. Although there was some delay, the distance was not too far, and it only took a few minutes.

However, there are still some opinions from the space construction project, because in their view, this is like putting the venerable commander-in-chief, Myron, under house arrest in disguise, as a hostage chip to restrain the space construction project, even if it is Without the mentality of rebellion, the heart is not very comfortable after all.

After Myron took the initiative to explain, the conflict between Soli and the space engineering construction was eased.

Also based on this incident, the national meeting in Soli began to gradually believe that Myron and Stephen were not the same, and the secret surveillance was relaxed a lot.

At work again, Myron quietly started his own plan.

"Mr. Myron, half of the progress of the planting plan has been completed. It is estimated that the deployment task can be completed within 3 revolutions. At the same time, with the new algorithm, the observation accuracy has been able to accurately locate the moving target with a diameter of one caliber at the scale of three light brakes. It's a huge improvement."

On the opposite side of the communication, the adjutant was very excited to report the latest achievements to Myron, and in the position of the commander in chief, the adjutant Shi really felt the rapid progress of the Carter civilization and technology, and he even had a feeling that When the amoeba civilization fleet arrives in their star system, it is not the amoeba that crushes the Carters, but the other way around.

Regarding this information, Myron was very calm, and he spoke in a warning tone.

"On the space battlefield, space battleships are the protagonists. I want to know how the formation of the fleet is going."

The adjutant, who looked at Myron through the video communication, was stunned for a moment, and quickly regained his composure, but he no longer showed the beaming gesture just now, and his face was serious.

"We found that titanium can be combined with other metal elements to obtain very high-strength alloys. The current strongest sample alloy can reach twice the limit of steel strength. We are planning to use this new metal to try to build even larger warships. , the fleet strength on the future battlefield will be even stronger.”

The increase in the size of the warship means that it can carry more ammunition, thicker protective armor, and a propulsion engine with greater mass and power. There is no doubt that under the same technical conditions, the combat effectiveness of a larger tonnage warship will be stronger , the giant ship cannon doctrine in the Carter civilization was once again awakened from the historical heap.

In addition to the design plan for the new space battleship, there are also reports on weapons.

"Although the electromagnetic guns and lasers have finished products, they are still a bit short of maturity, military use, and use for space operations. They are still undergoing a large number of tests."

Because at the beginning, under the impetus of crisis awareness, the designed sample blueprint was directly transmitted to the space construction project. It is true that these weapons can be used, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in power, and considering the service of new warships , also need to consider more powerful weapon design.

After reporting on the redesign and optimization of new warships and weapons, the adjutant continued to report.

"So far our resources are still very abundant, 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. With the productivity provided by one million engineering ships, there is no problem in providing maintenance and maintenance for 300,000 warships.

For this report, Myron shook his head and answered.

"It's not necessary. Excessive numbers will cause a burden to the wartime command system. Two hundred thousand is the limit number of commands I have planned after various considerations. If the number continues to increase, it will lead to a decline in the overall combat effectiveness of the space fleet. Working on strategy and tactics, conducting military exercises in space, we are still toddlers in this field.”

War does not mean that more numbers are better. In the history of the Carters, there are many battles where fewer people win more battles. Hundreds of thousands lost to tens of thousands or even thousands of sides.

It is not because of how superb the means of warfare and how advanced the technical level of the small number of parties is, it is just because the wartime command system of the party with too many cannot afford too many, so it is divided by the party with a small number Encircled way to eat away.

The same is true in space combat. The speed of light limits the wartime command system developed on the basis of radio, making it impossible to command combat units with unlimited efficiency.

"Also, space warships are meant to fight in space, but the space environment is not suitable for Carters to survive, so each warship needs to be equipped with a high-performance life support system. Think more about other things, such as industry."

"Any war is inseparable from productivity. There are many cases in our history that rely on productivity to smooth out the disadvantages of war. Industry is also an extremely important part. War is about resources. If the resources in the asteroid belt are not enough, they can be obtained from other places. As long as we can drag the amoeba into a protracted state, it will be 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 completely different concepts. Therefore, trap weapons such as mines want to be effective in space. It's almost impossible, what I said...do you understand?"

During the questioning, Myron stared into the eyes of the adjutant, and the adjutant understood and nodded solemnly.

"Thank you for your instruction, Mr. Myron."

Almost two years have passed since the exchange between Myron and the adjutant, the first batch of 1,000 new warships entered service one after another. At this time, a small fleet consisting of a single engineering ship and four old warships received the Satellite resource development plan for planets in ninth orbit.

When they were about to arrive at their destination, the captains of the five ships successively opened a cylindrical box with a combination lock, and there was only one note in the box.

[It's time to leave home. 】

Unanimously, the five spaceships issued their orders.

"Send me an order, the reactor is warming up and preparing! The spaceship is about to enter the acceleration state!"

"Target eight light-years, Barbossa star cluster, green star, full speed ahead!"

The acceleration of the spaceship is not high, and the ion propulsion is only high in specific impulse. All the Carters on the spaceship stared at the Soli home planet that was already as small as dust outside the hanging window, with solemn and serious expressions.

"Farewell, mother."

"salute!"

After the five spacecraft passed 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 space construction project came up with an order to pursue the defected spacecraft.

"Equilibrium engineering ship, four origin warships, Decisive Battle, Victory, Invincible, and King deviated from the scheduled route! Defection confirmed! Please pursue them!"

"The request is approved. The Quantum, the Speed...the Glory, 20 Leap-type battleships form a temporary fleet to pursue them, and they must be captured."
