The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Even some players whose own command ability is not good, even the strategic command is handed over to the subordinates, and the staff team is responsible for assisting the command.

Theoretically, a fleet can have multiple commanders, but under normal circumstances only one commander's skills can be applied to the fleet.

However, if the fleet divides into branch fleets, another commander can be sent to command the branch fleet. At this time, the skill effect of the commander-in-chief cannot affect the branch fleet, and another branch fleet commander is required.

Therefore, after one or two years, he has enlightened a bunch of servant scientists of light, and after forming his own team of super scientists, he will consider turning Li Lie, Li Qi and others into servants of light one by one.

After fully deploying all the crew members, Li Qing stepped onto the battleship.

The bridge was ten times larger than a destroyer, and the surface was as smooth as a mirror. According to his previous design, the bridge was divided into two parts, one side was the command room of the battleship itself, and the other side was the fleet command center.

Li Qing stood in the center of the bridge, waiting for many newly recruited men to take their positions one by one, including a thousand clone crew members. Then the captain of the battleship was the first to give the order to start the battleship, and adjust the different modules and weapons of the battleship one by one. integrity.

After the commissioning was completed, it was confirmed that there was no problem with the battleship, and he reported to Li Qing. Then he stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the light curtain in front of the high command chair. A circle of light lit up, and the battleship slowly set sail. leaving the shipyard.

The specifications of the Knight-class battleship are 1,500 meters long, 350 meters wide, and 110 meters high. The overall shape is a flat shuttle, and the construction time is 18 months.

The battleship comes with a huge cabin, which can accommodate two standard battalion-level marines for landing operations.

It's just that Li Qing's battleship is not equipped with an army. When he needs it, he can be released directly from the universe in his palm, and he doesn't need to be placed in the battleship.

He expanded the fleet space to create a living area for the crew on board, improve the quality of life of the crew, and greatly improve their morale and enthusiasm for work.

The battleship left the shipyard and arrived at Star City not long after. It was moored in the air more than a thousand kilometers away from Star City. Generally speaking, large ships like battleships were not allowed to berth directly at the Star City berth.

Opening the team channel, it was the previously agreed meeting time, and everyone was arriving one after another. He confirmed on the channel's assembly number that he was in place, and then sent a message to Li Lie and Li Qi, asking them to come and meet.

Not long after, three fleets of similar size rushed over from other places.

One is his own, 2 cruisers, 8 destroyers and 35 frigates.

One side consists of 7 cruisers, 20 destroyers and 60 frigates, which is Li Lie's fleet.

The other side consists of 8 cruisers, 30 destroyers and 130 frigates, which is Li Qi's fleet.

The two fleets joined him and opened the team communication channel. Li Qi asked in surprise:

"Crap, boss, have you got a battleship?"

"Yes, it was sent by the leader."

"So cool? When can I get a battleship!"

"It won't be long."

After the military operation is over, you can spare time to practice shipbuilding skills. After awakening, the awakened Star Children not only gain up to 3000% experience, but also double their efficiency. It is estimated that they will build their own battleships in a short time.

"By the way, I have recruited a very good fleet commander. I will set up a command later and combine your fleets. When the time comes, the new commander will command the fleet and I will command the operations."

"receive!"

"receive!"

Li Lie and Li Qi did not reject it, and simply handed over the command of the fleet.

Combine the three fleets, with the battleship as the command ship, Li Yuan as the actual commander of the fleet, himself as the general commander and strategic commander, and Li Lie, Li Qi and others as staff officers. If a branch fleet needs to be separated during the battle, they will Choose one of them as the branch fleet commander.

After selecting all the responsibilities, the fleet that was slowly gliding accelerated sharply at the moment of confirmation.

"Damn it!"

Li Lie, Li Qi and others immediately felt the difference, and asked in surprise in the channel:

"Captain, this new conductor looks a bit silly!"

Li Qing laughed:

"Later, you will find that he is even bigger than you imagined!"

He looked at an ordinary man sitting on the other side who looked somewhat similar to Li Qing. If you looked closely, you would find that circles of invisible streamer fluctuations in his pupils were spreading out circles, and there seemed to be water-like streams under his skin. Ripples are flowing.

At this time, Li Yuan's appearance has turned into the appearance of a human being, and his absolute rationality made him sit there with a serious expression. His psychic power stronger than Li Qing and his life essence beyond ordinary people made him exude an aura that no one should enter, At this time, many staff officers were sitting there solemnly, and no one dared to move.

The fleet slowly accelerated, and soon surpassed the usual fastest speed, and in their shock, sailed into the depths of the starry sky at a speed four times faster than usual.

100% speed bonus of Servant of Light, 50% speed bonus of psychic entity, 100% speed bonus of level 20 naval command, plus 60% speed bonus of fifth-generation thrusters, a total of 310% speed bonus .

Even the slowest battleship has a basic speed of 100,000 kilometers per hour. After a 310% bonus, it will reach a speed of 410,000 kilometers per hour, or 113.88 kilometers per second.

Li Lie and the others have never experienced such a fast speed, nor have other players seen such a fast speed.

A frigate was rushing towards the wormhole on the edge of the galaxy at the fastest speed, when suddenly a huge fleet passed by far faster than itself, a player in the bridge stared at the fleet's back in astonishment, the smoke from the corner of his mouth dropped I don't know it.

"I'll go, what new type of warship is this?"

The fleet entered the wormhole at one end, and emerged from another galaxy an hour later.

"Ready to start the hyperspace engine!"

Fifteen minutes later, the warships turned into flashes of light and disappeared, and the huge fleet jumped away.

Appearing again, it is already an outpost galaxy, and the meeting point agreed with Ding Youran and others is here.

As soon as the fleet entered the outpost galaxy, it received three communications from the outpost space station, and the battlefield area channel was automatically unlocked at the same time.

Li Qing checked them one by one, raising his eyebrows.

According to the latest battlefield news, the Shata Tribal United Civilization has reacted to the large-scale military operations at the outpost and has begun to counterattack. At this time, the huge star field from the outpost to the southern province of the Shata Tribal United Civilization is already a combat area. .

The other two communications are the latest combat intelligence from the outpost, and all players who enter the theater to perform military operations can receive it for free.

One piece of information is that the main force of the First Division of the Shata Tribal United Civilization Southern Province has assembled in the direction of the 15th jump to the east of the outpost, and the main force of the First Division and the First Brigade of the Expeditionary Army has also assembled in the 14th jump galaxy. On the other side of the confrontation, the outpost warned that there was already a high-risk area, and it was best for small teams not to approach.

Another piece of news, in the direction of the 22nd jump south of the outpost, there seems to be a clan in the Lester Pirate Group that has reached an employment agreement with the Shata tribe. At this time, there is an abnormal fleet transfer there.

The outpost has released a series of reconnaissance missions for this purpose, and the rewards are extremely generous.

He had no interest in this Li Qing, but contacted Ding Youran, Wang Yanqing and other team cores to confirm their coordinates, and the fleet approached there.

Halfway through, I received a piece of information from Li Lie and Li Qi respectively. After looking at it, what Li Lie collected was information on the battlefield near the outpost, and what Li Qi collected was the latest battlefield situation.

"well done."

He nodded and browsed carefully.

After reading it quickly, I have a little understanding of the situation on the nearby battlefield.

It has been a month since the military operation of the expeditionary force started, and as the United Civilization of the Shata Tribe reacted, it has already begun to counterattack.

Not only the first division of the Shata tribe united civilization southern province stationed in the Cuerta Fortress galaxy was transferred here, but also many fleets were transferred from other places in the southern province, and the fleets of many players who sneaked into the southern province began to comprehensively fight back.

Although the level of science and technology is not as good as theirs, they are a civilization that has developed for thousands of years after all, and they have a fleet that far surpasses theirs with the power of the entire civilization.

They will definitely not be able to fight one by one, but they often have an absolute force advantage several times.

As they counterattacked in an all-round way, the original raid tactics were no longer feasible, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

Li Qing analyzed it, didn't say anything, just waited for the fleet to join Ding Youran and others, and took the initiative to pull up a command channel to pull them all in.

Now he is Jialan's second largest shareholder and deputy team leader. When Yu Yuefei, the team leader, is not around, he is the default team leader.

"You came earlier than me. Do you think it's better for us to enter the frontal battlefield next, or to sneak into the sanda civilization and continue to plunder like before?"

Wang Yanqing spoke first and said:

"Now the southern province of the Shata Civilization has entered a wartime state, and the number of detectors in the major galaxies has been greatly increased. In the past half a month, many teams have wanted to sneak in. There are very few successful ones. Our team is not small in size. Difficult to fully dive in."

"Um."

Li Qing nodded, looked at Ding Youran, another major shareholder, and asked:

"What do you think?"

Ding Youran looked at Li Qing who was talking freely in the communication channel, and felt a little magical.

A month ago, he was just an ordinary core member who obeyed his command. A month later, his status soared wildly, and now he is the deputy head of the team's second largest shareholder.

But what made her feel even more magical was the previous psychic ascension. Although she didn't know much about it, she also knew that Li Qing seemed to have some extraordinary hole cards, that he could be on a par with Yu Yueyao.

From looking down at the beginning to looking up now, only one month has passed.

Facing Li Qing's question, she was in a daze for a moment, and at that moment, she felt the oppressive feeling of seeing Yu Yueyao.

Pulling herself together, she shifted her eyes slightly so she didn't look directly at him, and said in a deep voice:

"My idea is similar to that of Wang Yanqing. It is difficult for us to sneak in now, but it is not feasible to enter the main battlefield. It is easy to be affected by the enemy's main force. My idea is to stay away from the main battlefield and sneak attack some important locations in the enemy's secondary battlefield. .”

"Well."

Li Qing spread out the latest situation star map that he had just downloaded, which clearly marked the southern province of the Shata tribal joint civilization from the outpost to the east, and all the enemies in the star field controlled by the Lester Pirate Group to the south. Fleet distribution of a certain size, and the location of fixed outposts or space stations, etc.

Taking into account the changes in fleet maneuvers on the battlefield, this situation map is updated every day, and the accuracy is not guaranteed, it is only for reference.

Li Qing carefully looked at the star map, which marked the approximate scope of the southern province of the Shata Tribal United Civilization, as well as the locations of the most important military bases and space stations of the Shata Civilization, including the No.

Touching the No. 6 residence station galaxy with a finger, a detailed introduction pops up, even including that this residence station was once attacked and destroyed most of the living quarters. Now there is a fleet far larger than the one they encountered at the time. The giant alloy foundry.

It is definitely unrealistic to fight this giant alloy foundry. Yu Yuefei is not here, and Ye Xiao has rebelled. Now their core members only have 12 battleships. Even if they have technological advantages, they dare not fight more than 30 battleships at most.

More might be possible, but the losses would be enormous.

If they are willing to hand over the fleet to their own command, it will not be a problem to fight fifty battleships with the addition of Servants of Light, but the garrison fleet at No. 6 residence has more than three hundred battleships.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Li Qing let go of this goal and changed it to .

"How about this, we and I will enter the battlefield to see the situation. If there is no chance, we will mix the battlefield. If we can successfully sneak into the hinterland of the Shata civilization, we will do something big."

Wang Yanqing nodded:

"I think this idea is good, adapt to the situation, try it if you have a chance, and forget it if you don't have a chance."

Ding Youran also nodded in approval.

Several main core members have approved it, and the other core members naturally have no objections.

"If that's the case, then get ready to go."

"Wait a moment."

Li Qing looked up and saw Ding Youran said:

"Since it is a joint operation, I think it is necessary to form a joint fleet so as to facilitate unified command."

Li Qing was quite surprised. He had thought about this, but considering that he was the weakest on paper, they might not be willing.

After all, if a joint fleet is formed, the second largest shareholder and deputy head of his team must be the commander-in-chief of the joint fleet.

This is the default rule, any team is like this, even if there is a very powerful commander in the team, it is also in accordance with this default rule, but the actual command must be commanded by a powerful commander. Can be the highest position in the team.

He looked at Wang Yanqing, he was actually a little reluctant, but Ding Youran had already mentioned it, so it was hard for him to refuse.

Spreading his hands together, he said:

"I have no opinion."

The corners of Li Qing's mouth curled up slightly, and he said:

"If this is the case, then I will be disrespectful. If I have any problems in command later, everyone can boldly raise opinions, and I will seriously consider them."

Promote your squad into a larger team and bring other fleets into it.

Ding Youran, Wang Yanqing and the others immediately felt that the speed of their fleet had increased several times, and she, who was always serious about speaking and smiling, flashed a deep shock in her phoenix eyes at this time.

There is no need for them to ask, because at this time everyone in the team channel felt the speed increase several times as their fleet was incorporated into the combined fleet, and they were all shocked at this time.
