Knocking wonders from the space station

After the war with the Weigel people ended, peace returned to Skyrim Star and Qianyan Galaxy.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three months later, natural disasters have struck twice more, but they can no longer delay the development of Tianji people.

Tianji people are the new name for immigrants on Earth today, which represents a complete break with the past and a new beginning.

Many great things happened during this time.

The first is the relocation of the Tianjixing Joint Defense Headquarters to the newly completed Tiangong Orbital Building Complex.

Today's Heavenly Palace, as its name suggests, has been built as spectacularly as the Nine Heavens Palace. A slender orbital elevator holds one pillar up to the sky, linking the gates of hell and several concentric hexagonal rings on the track.

The base of the space station is a space hub and a civilian star port. Above it is a medium-sized shipyard in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism, more than ten kilometers long and several kilometers wide. Outside the shipyard is a larger ring-shaped structure, which is the Joint Defense Headquarters and

The Alliance Star Port is located.

The entire Tiangong is a brand-new wonder after synthesis. It was named [Tiangong] by Lu Feng. The lower quarter is for civilian use and the upper three-quarters is for military use.

The cold and straight alloy steel plates reflect the star's light, making them gleaming and majestic.

On the contrary, there is also an orbital building on the other side of Tianji Star. From the perspective of humans when they first stepped out of the earth, it is undoubtedly a majestic man-made miracle.

But now when compared with its counterparts, this concentric ring with a diameter of 10 kilometers is nothing special.

Even though its diameter is not small, the main cabin section that makes up the space station is really too slender compared to Tiangong.

The Tiangong Military Ring has a diameter of 20 kilometers, and the diameter of the ring itself is as high as two kilometers, making it extremely strong and sturdy. The 550-meter-long Minotaur would look small if parked next to it.

On the other hand, the space station in front of us has a ring diameter of only about 200 meters, a full ten times difference, giving people a sense of slender and easy-to-break fragility.

This is the Zeus space station that the Freemasons, the Shiva Sect, and the North Wind Alliance have worked hard to build together.

They also followed the example of Tiangong, integrating orbital elevators, shipyards, and military ports, and finally named them [Zeus], ​​which meant to compete with [Tiangong].

But reality undoubtedly slapped them in the face.

The industrial strength and transportation efficiency of the two sides are very different. It is not that the three companies do not want to enrich the Zeus space station, but they are suffering from a lack of materials.

Even if there is an orbital elevator, transporting building materials to space is a high-cost matter. No matter how it is improved, it cannot be compared to Lu Feng's direct use of space doors.

In addition to creating things with thoughts, the creation space is definitely a strategic level for transporting materials. It can save a lot of manpower and material resources, allowing Shentang to use limited manpower to launch several shocking projects at the same time.

But for this reason, Lu Feng had to play the role of a tool man, frequently shuttling between the Gate of Hell, the Sky Star Orbit, several meteorite mining areas, and the Qianyan Interstellar Fortress.

But Lin Yuexi was always by his side, so it wasn't boring at all.

It has been one and a half months since the completion of Tiangong. The first batch of four new battlecruisers and 16 new cruisers have been launched.

The so-called new battlecruiser is based on the original Minotaur class. It was jointly developed, designed and finalized by the Shentang Academy of Sciences and the three major AIs. Compared with the basic Minotaur, it is a qualitative leap forward.

The new battlecruiser is named [Shenyi-class] and will serve as the main ship type of Shen Tang and its allies in the future.

Upgrades include:

1. Comprehensively optimize the hull layout and appropriately expand the hull to facilitate the installation of new equipment. The hull is extended from 550 meters to 600 meters, the width and height are almost unchanged, and the appearance looks much slender.

2. Replace with a new generation of cold nuclear fusion reactor and thicken the energy pipelines to make the energy supply of weapons and shield systems more sufficient and increase the power by more than 20%.

3. Equipped with a new generation of warp engine (shrunk version of Crack 2, which cannot be produced by itself and can only be created by the creation space). The speed can reach level 9 warp speed and can carry out tactical maneuvers simultaneously with the Tianshu battleship.

4. Replace with a new sensor array, replace the original laser cannon with a small-caliber turbolaser cannon, load the honeycomb missile with a clustered total nitrogen charge containing tanzanite, replace the Yamato cannon with a new coil and fusion restraint, and increase the protection.

Shield capacitor, upgrade new cooling system...

These improvements benefit from the rapid advancement of Shentang technology, as well as the technical reserves collected in the Makan treasure house.

At the same time, rhodonite resources were discovered in the Qianyan Galaxy. This strategic resource ranks alongside tanzanite, hazonite, and zeolite, and can unlock technological advancement in the energy field.

The Tianshu undoubtedly used a large amount of rhodonite material, but Shentang's attempt to refine it on its own only became a reality after the discovery of new veins.

In the upgrade of the divine level, the application of new technologies such as reactors, energy pipelines, powerful coils, high-efficiency capacitors, etc. are all inseparable from rhodonite.

also,

The Shenyi-class hangar has been redesigned and upgraded. It can not only park 24 Viking fighters, but also carry a mechanized reinforcement battalion, including 500 marines wearing CMC power armor, 30 siege tanks, and supporting airdrop warehouses.

, Pelican, medical transport aircraft.

It can be said that every Shenyi-class battlecruiser has the ability to break into the atmosphere and fight independently, and has enough firepower to suppress a small city.

The cruiser produced by Tiangong is different. It was independently developed by the Shentang Academy of Sciences, using Shentang's own technology and standards, and was finally named the [Aegis-class] air defense cruiser.

The Aegis class uses a dagger-shaped hull similar to the Chasseur class. The length is only 400 meters, which is the standard for conventional cruisers.

The difference is that the Aegis-class ship's island is low and concealed, and the arrangement of firepower points on the ship's surface is far from that of the clumsy Jaeger-class, but is very similar to the classic Arquitectus-class.

Well, the institute has fully learned from the hull design of the Arquitectus class. This quite classic battleship platform has strong adaptability and can be transplanted with a variety of weapon systems.

Therefore, for Shentang's own Aegis class, the designers abandoned the design idea of ​​a fire support ship and instead clearly positioned it as a cutting-edge regional air defense cruiser.

The ship is equipped with tons of rapid-fire firepower, specifically deployed against high-speed targets.

These include 8 high-frequency long-range laser cannons, 4 triple-mounted AWS-3 intelligent anti-aircraft artillery, 4 "Wind Shadow" Phalanx systems, 24 groups of short-range pulse laser arrays, 32-unit Amethyst anti-aircraft missile launch systems, 4

Hive missile launch system.

It can be said that he is armed to the teeth.

The Aegis-class firepower system is arranged in a ladder, with 8 long-range lasers targeting long-range targets, smart anti-aircraft guns and Phalanx arrays sweeping out mid-range targets, and pulse lasers and various missiles targeting short-range targets as the last layer of interception means.

The Aegis class is equipped with the most advanced mid- and short-range sensor arrays, which are connected to the long-range detection system of the battleship at any time during combat. While acquiring targets, they will also share the ballistic calculation capabilities of the flagship supercomputer.

This is the advantage and disadvantage of the Aegis class.

A large number of ship-borne weapons and energy tanks, and ammunition tanks occupy most of the hull space, so that the crew of the modified ship is only 200 people, there is no hangar, and there are no marines.

Although the degree of automation is high, it relies on the fleet flagship's fire control dispatch, data sharing and computing power support. The effect of the eight Aegis-class ships alone is very poor. Once integrated into the fleet, they are like being reborn, enough to provide a small fleet with

It is a terrifying anti-aircraft firepower, and ordinary missiles and fighter planes can only fail.

The energy output and hull size of the cruiser class can also meet the survivability, sustainability and maneuverability of the Aegis class on the battlefield. It is also equipped with a level 9 warp engine and can keep pace with the main force of the fleet for high speed.

Attack.

From Lu Feng's professional perspective, this was a near-perfect aerial warship. Apart from the cost that made his veins jump, the other data were sufficient to meet the Shentang Fleet's needs for cruisers.

after,

The Shentang fleet will form a three-tier configuration of high, medium and low, mainly composed of Rift 2, Shenyi class, and Aegis class. All ships below cruisers will be incorporated into the near-earth defense fleet and will no longer go on expeditions with the army to cultivate talents and intimidate

Alien.

There are many alien exiles on Skyrim, some of them are particularly capable...

The disadvantage is - expensive!

In order to reduce the number of casualties on the battlefield, Shen Tang decided that none of these three warships were cheap, and all of them were gold-swallowing behemoths.

Needless to say, the Tianshu can only be built once every 45 days, which will cost Lu Feng half of his life every time and make Comrade Xiaolin very distressed.

The Shenyi-class and Aegis-class are produced by the Tiangong Orbital Shipyard, and massive resources need to be collected and processed by themselves.

Just to build these 20 ships, the Shenzhou colony, which was the basic resource supplier, was depleted. All the workers worked in three shifts to barely supply one-third of the required resources, and the other third was provided by Hell.

The gate is mined by itself, and the last third is produced from the Tianjixing meteorite belt mining area.

These are just basic materials. Advanced materials and components are all manufactured in the vast automated processing factory in Hell's Gate and transported to the orbital dock through orbital elevators.

The last 10% of high-precision materials and equipment can only be made by Lu Feng's novices.

In this way, with the joint efforts of tens of thousands of senior technicians and engineers, these 20 warships that shine with money were successfully launched.

It's very clear when compared.

Lu Feng once asked about commodity prices in the empire.

The official price of a brand new Jaeger-class battlecruiser is 80 million primary energy coins. Excluding profits and premiums, the cost of mass production is only 40 million.

The cost of the Shenyi-class battlecruiser is as high as 25 million. If you sell it for 50 million, there will be many people on the arms market who want it.

You know, the Jaeger-class captain is 1,100 meters long, while the Shenyi-class captain is only 600 meters long. With such a huge difference in size, this cost comparison is outrageous.

When he first obtained the Minotaur-class blueprint, Lu Feng estimated that the combat power ratio between the two sides should be 3:1. Now 2:1 is not a problem, and it may even reach 3:2 in the future. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is already very close!

The compact and flexible Shenyi class has a smaller target surface on the battlefield, but its firepower is not much inferior to that of the opponent, and in some cases is even better.

A Shenyi-class ship only needs 2,500 officers and men to operate it, but it can do the work of 7,000 people on the battlefield, and the survival rate is not low. This is the effect Lu Feng wants to achieve.

As for cost, in our own industry, cost is not an issue, production capacity and crew are.

And how expensive is the Aegis-class cruiser?

The cost of this thing is 12 million, which is the highest in the cruiser world, even more outrageous than the Shenyi class.

However, Lu Feng stopped mentioning budget cuts after seeing the results of actual combat exercises. This shows that Lu Feng is quite satisfied with the combat effectiveness.

The launch of a new ship is naturally a happy event.

Subsequently, the Shentang Fleet began a new round of reorganization.

The current new fleet establishment is:

1. Three Rift 2 battleships, the flagship [Tianshu], hull number 001; the secondary ship [Tianquan], hull number 002; the sister ship [Yuheng], hull number 003, with a full crew of 30,000 people

.

2. Three Ironguard-class battleships (Jaeger modification), with hull numbers 011, 012 and 013 respectively, with a full crew of 12,000 people.

3. There are four Shenyi-class battlecruisers, namely 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004. They belong to the sub-capital ship establishment and have a full crew of 10,000 people.

4. There are 16 Aegis-class air defense cruisers, with hull numbers starting from 3001 and ending at 3016. They are also sub-capital ships, with a full crew of 3,200 people.

5. Two Orion-class assault aircraft carriers (upgraded with new technology), the first ship [Daybreak], hull number 11; the second ship [Tianguang], hull number 12, with a full crew of 20,000 people.

6. The legendary battleship Hiigara's Glory - [Crescent], hull number 01, with a full crew of 20,000 people.

7. A total of 12 ships, including the black cat engineering ship [Huatuo No. 1], including the logistics fleet, high-speed transport ships, drone carriers, medical ships, and more than 4,000 crew members.

[Yinglong] The air combat force was expanded simultaneously and reorganized into a squad of 4 aircraft, a squadron of 12 aircraft, and a group of 36 aircraft.

The Rift-class hangar can carry 1 fighter squadron and 2 transport squadrons; the Iron Guard-class can carry 5 fighter squadrons and 3 transport squadrons; the Shenyi-class can carry 2 fighter squadrons and 1 transport squadron; the Orion can carry 10

Fighter group, 10 transport groups; the Crescent carrier can carry 2 fighter groups and 5 transport groups, as well as tens of thousands of drones.

If all are fully deployed, the number of Blade interceptors, Viking fighters, Banshee bombers, and Eclipse stealth bombers in the entire fleet will reach 1,536, and the number of various transport craft will reach 1,440!

Including reserve pilots, the number of pilots in the entire fleet will reach more than 6,000!

When the fleet is fully established, it can transport and deliver an entire armored army with more than 30,000 people!

Taken together, once the Shentang fleet is completed, the fleet will absorb more than 140,000 elite soldiers. You must know that the entire Shentang navy currently cultivates only about 150,000 people, plus 30,000 new recruits.

That is to say,

After this round of fleet expansion, the expansion potential of the Shentang Fleet has been almost exhausted, and it will no longer be able to withstand such a large-scale expansion in a short period of time.

In the future, Lu Feng plans to increase the number of Shenyi-class ships to 6 and the Aegis-class ships to 24, so as to control the number of fleets to about 150,000, and then stabilize them.

In the future, the formation of the Second Fleet will be based on the First Fleet, using a similar organization and the same size of 150,000 people.

If the second-line establishment such as the star port, logistics department, and garrison fleet under its jurisdiction are added, the total size of a fleet will eventually reach more than 300,000 people. This is already considered a militancy for Shen Tang, which has a population of only more than 10 million.

.

therefore,

Lu Feng felt that forming three such fleets was the limit of Shen Tang.

Coupled with the colonial legion on the ground, by then, he will have a truly million-strong army at his disposal, which should be enough to occupy a place in the Sanctuary Star Cluster.
