Knock wonders from the space station

Chapter 397 Shentang First Fleet
After the war with the Vigels ended, the Tianji and Qianyan galaxies regained their peace.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and natural disasters have ravaged twice, but they can no longer delay the development of Skyrim people.

Tianjiren is a new name for immigrants on Earth today, which represents a complete break with the past and a new beginning.

A lot of great things happened during this time.

The first is the relocation of the Tianjixing United Defense Headquarters to the newly completed Tiangong orbital complex.

Today's Tiangong, as its name suggests, has been built as magnificent as a nine-day palace. The slender track elevator supports the sky, linking the gate of hell with several concentric regular hexagonal rings on the track.

The base of the space station is a space hub and a civilian star port. Upwards is a medium-sized dock in the shape of a regular hexagonal prism, which is more than ten kilometers long and several kilometers wide. The Alliance Starport is here.

The entire Tiangong is a brand-new spectacle after synthesis. It was named "Tiangong" by Lu Feng. A quarter of it was issued for civilian use, and the upper three quarters were for military use.

The cold and straight alloy steel plate reflects the light of the stars, making it look radiant and majestic.

On the contrary, there is also an orbital building on the other side of Tianji, which is undoubtedly a majestic man-made miracle from the perspective of human beings when they first stepped out of the earth.

But now compared with its peers, the 10-kilometer-diameter concentric rings are nothing special.

Even though its diameter is not small, compared with Tiangong, the main cabin section of the space station is too slender.

The diameter of the Tiangong military ring is 20 kilometers, and the diameter of the ring itself is as high as 550 kilometers, which is extraordinarily strong and sturdy. The [-]-meter-long Minotaur parked next to it will look small.

On the other hand, the space station in front of me has a diameter of only about 200 meters, which is a full difference of ten times, giving people a sense of slenderness and fragility.

This is the Zeus space station jointly built by the Freemasons, the Shiva Sect, and the North Wind Alliance.

Like Tiangong, they integrated orbital elevators, shipyards, and military ports, and finally named it [Zeus], ​​which means to compete with [Tiangong].

But the reality undoubtedly hit them in the face.

The industrial strength and transportation efficiency of the two parties are very different. The three companies do not want to enrich the Zeus space station, but suffer from the 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 is impossible to compare with Lu Feng directly using the space door to open and hang.

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

But for this, Lu Feng had to play the role of a tool man, frequently shuttling between the gates of hell, the orbit of the sky star, several meteorite mining areas, and the Qianyan interstellar fortress.

But Lin Yuexi stayed by his side all the time, so it wasn't boring.

It has been one and a half months since Tiangong was completed, and the first batch of 4 new battle cruisers and 16 new cruisers have all been launched.

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

The new type of battlecruiser is named [Shenyi class], and it will be the main ship type of Shentang and its allies in the future.

The upgrades are:
1. Fully optimize the hull layout, and expand the hull appropriately to install new equipment. The hull extends 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 reactors, thicken the energy pipelines, make the energy supply of weapons and shield systems more sufficient, and increase the power by more than 20%.

3. Replaced with a new generation of warp speed engine (shrunk version of the crack II, which cannot be produced by itself, but can only be created by the creation space), the speed can reach level 9 warp speed, and it can perform tactical maneuvers simultaneously with the battleship Tianshu.

4. Replace the new sensor array, replace the original laser gun group with a small-caliber turbo laser gun, load the honeycomb missile with cluster-type nitrogen charges containing tanzanite, replace the Yamato gun with a new coil and fusion restraint, and increase the protection Shield capacitor, upgrade new cooling system...

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

At the same time, rhodoxene resources were discovered in the Qianyan galaxy. This strategic resource is on a par with Tanzanite, Hetzenite, and Zeolite, and can open up technological advancement in the energy field.

Undoubtedly, the Tianshu used a large amount of rhodoxene material, but Shentang's attempt to refine it by himself only became a reality after the discovery of new veins.

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

In addition,

The Shenyi-level 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 enter the atmosphere with a single ship and fight independently, and its firepower is enough to suppress a small city.

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

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

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

Well, the Institute has fully borrowed from the hull design of the Aquitense class. This fairly classic battleship platform has strong adaptability and can transplant a variety of weapon systems.

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

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

其中包括8座高频长程激光炮、4座三联装AWS-3型智能高射火炮、4座“风影”密集阵系统、24组近程脉冲激光阵列、32单元紫晶防空导弹发射系统、4座蜂巢导弹发射系统。

It can be said to be armed to the teeth.

The Aegis-level firepower system is arranged in echelons, with 8 long-range lasers targeting long-range targets, smart anti-aircraft guns and phalanx sweeping mid-range targets, and pulsed lasers and various missiles targeting short-range targets as the last layer of interception.

The Aegis class is equipped with the most advanced mid-range and short-range sensor arrays, and is connected to the capital ship's long-range detection system at any time during combat. While acquiring targets, it will also share the ballistic computing capabilities of the flagship supercomputer.

This is the advantage and disadvantage of the Aegis class.

A large number of shipboard weapons, energy compartments, and ammunition compartments occupy most of the space in the hull, so that the crew of the rebuilt ship has only 200 people, no hangar, and no marines.

Although the degree of automation is high, relying on the fire control scheduling, data sharing and computing power support of the fleet flagship, the effect of the eight Aegis-class alone is very poor. Once incorporated into the fleet, it will be like a reborn, enough to provide a small fleet. It can be called terrifying anti-aircraft firepower, and ordinary missiles and fighters can only fail.

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

From Lu Feng's professional point of view, this is a near-perfect air warship. Except for the cost that makes his veins jump, the rest of the data is enough to meet the needs of the Shentang fleet for cruisers.

after,

The Shentang Fleet will form a configuration of high, medium, and low gears based on the Crack II, Shenyi class, and Aegis class. All ships below cruisers will be incorporated into the near-ground defense fleet and will no longer go on expeditions with the army. They will be used to cultivate talents and deter alien.

There are still many alien exiles on Skyrim, some of them are particularly able to live...

The disadvantage is - expensive!

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

Not to mention the Tianshu, only one can be built every 45 days, and every time it takes half of Lu Feng's life, Comrade Xiaolin feels very distressed.

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

Just for the construction of these 20 ships, the Shenzhou colony, which is the supplier of basic resources, was bald. All the workers worked in three shifts and barely supplied 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 by the Tianjixing Meteorite Belt Mining Area.

These are just basic materials. Advanced materials and components are all manufactured by the vast automated processing plant in the gate of hell, and transported to the orbital dock by orbital elevators.

The last 10% of high-tech materials and equipment can only be built by Lu Feng's novice.

In this way, under the joint work of tens of thousands of senior technicians and engineers, these 20 warships shining with money were successfully launched.

The comparison is very clear.

Lu Feng once asked about the prices in the empire.

The official quotation for a brand new Jaeger-class battlecruiser is 8000 million primary energy coins, leaving out the profit and premium, the cost of mass production is only 4000 million.

The cost of the Shenyi-class battlecruiser is as high as 2500 million, and there are people rushing to sell it for 5000 million in the arms market.

You know, the Jaeger-class ship is 1100 meters long, while the Shenyi-class ship is only 600 meters long. With such a huge difference in size, this cost comparison is outrageous.

When he first obtained the Minotaur-level blueprint, Lu Feng estimated that the combat power ratio of 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 area on the battlefield, but its firepower is not inferior to the opponent's much, and in some cases it is even better.

A Shenyi class only needs 2500 officers and soldiers to operate, but it can do the work of 7000 people on the battlefield, and the survival rate is not low. This is the effect that Lu Feng wants to achieve.

As for the cost, the cost is not a problem for our own industry, but the production capacity and crew are.

And how expensive is the Aegis class as a cruiser?
This thing costs 1200 million a piece, which can be called the most in the cruiser world, even more outrageous than the Shenyi class.

However, after seeing the effect of the actual combat exercise, Lu Feng no longer mentioned the matter of budget cuts. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness made Lu Feng quite satisfied.

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

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

The current new fleet consists of:

1. 3 crack II battleships, flagship [Tianshu], hull number 001; secondary ship [Tianquan], hull number 002; sister ship [Yuheng], hull number 003, with a full crew of 3 .

2、铁卫级战列舰3艘（猎兵改），舷号分别是011、012和013，满编船员1万2000人。

3、神意级战列巡洋舰4艘，分别是1001、1002、1003和1004，属于次主力舰编制，满编船员1万人。

4. There are 16 Aegis-class air defense cruisers, with hull numbers starting from 3001 to 3016. They are also sub-capital ships, with a full crew of 3200.

5. 2 Orion-class assault aircraft carriers (upgraded with new technology), the first ship [Dawn], hull number 11; the second ship [Tianguang], hull number 12, with a full crew of 2.

6. The legendary battleship Higra's Glory——[Crescent Moon], hull number 01, with a full crew of 2.

7. The logistics fleet including the black cat engineering ship [Huatuo No. 12], high-speed transport ship, drone mother ship, medical ship, etc., a total of 4000 ships with more than [-] crew members.

[Ying Long] The air combat force was simultaneously expanded and reorganized in the mode of 4 aircraft in the squadron, 12 aircraft in the squadron, and 36 aircraft in the brigade.

裂痕级机库可搭载1个战机大队，2个运输中队；铁卫级可搭载5个战机大队，3个运输大队；神意级可搭载2个战机中队，1个运输大队；猎户座可搭载10个战机大队，10个运输大队；新月号母舰可搭载2个战机大队和5个运输大队，以及上万架无人机。

If all are fully staffed, the number of blade interceptors, Viking fighters, Banshee bombers, and eclipse stealth bombers in the entire fleet will reach 1536, and various transport boats will reach 1440!
Counting the reserve pilots, the number of pilots in the entire fleet will reach more than 6000!

With a full fleet, it can transport and deliver an entire armored army with more than 3 people!
To sum up, once the Shentang fleet is completed, the fleet will absorb more than 14 elite soldiers. You must know that the entire Shentang currently has only about 15 naval personnel, plus 3 new recruits.

That is,

After this round of fleet expansion, the expansion potential of the Shentang fleet is 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 number of Aegis-class ships to 24 ships, control the number of fleets to around 15, and then stabilize.

In the future, the formation of the Second Fleet will refer to the First Fleet, with a similar organization and the same size of 15 people.

If you add the second-line establishments such as starports, logistics departments, and garrison fleets under its jurisdiction, the total size of a fleet will eventually reach more than 30 people. This is already considered militaristic for Shentang with a population of only 1000 million. .

therefore,

Lu Feng felt that the formation of three such fleets was the limit of Shentang.

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