The life of a business woman starting from reporting her 50w

The battle situation has been stalemate. The Republic is gradually gaining an advantage due to its manufacturing and supply speed, which is much faster than the swarm's Mars-Moon-Earth orbital supply path. However, it is hard to say whether the swarm has any backup.

But there is no need to worry, because the Republic's current strongest space combat force, a whole battleship strike group, has returned.

PS: The settlement was completed last month, and the results are not bad. Thank you for your support. Come and count the tickets~

Chapter 217 Fleet Return and Battle Preparations

The first stage of the current orbit clearing campaign has just ended, and the Republic has temporarily gained control of the low orbit. However, the earth orbit force of the swarm has not been annihilated, but retreated in an orderly manner. At the same time, the middle and high orbits are still controlled by the opponent. There are also fights.

If it weren't for the progress of the Republic's space engine technology today, it would be easy to establish a satellite system in low orbit to ensure global communication, reconnaissance, and defense. Otherwise, after the medium and high orbits are mastered by the swarm, even a global synchronous satellite constellation would be very difficult. After all, all kinds of geostationary orbit satellites, high-orbit navigation satellites, etc. need to be deployed in medium and high orbits.

At the same time, the loss of the Republic is still quite large. Just like the naval battles of the old industrial countries, the number of ship losses and land equipment is not of the same order. However, no matter which side wins or loses in a major battle, it will not be too easy, and its losses and strategic impact will be much greater than those on the ground battlefield.

Although the industrial production capacity on the surface has not been affected in any way, just like the bombing of the American ship in World War II, in theory, dumplings can be crazily eaten, and the production capacity can keep up, but the resource reserve cannot keep up, which is also the biggest shortcoming at present.

At present, the resources of the Republic are mainly supplied by the Siberia producing areas. This is also an important reason why the Republic has been giving Maozi blood transfusions, mainly because of the importance of these resource deposits.The supply from other places such as Central Asia also accounts for a considerable proportion, but neither the quantity nor the quality can meet the demand.As for Australia's resource output, on the one hand, it is subject to the Zerg's interference with the route, and on the other hand, it is also subject to fluctuations in the relationship between the Republic and GDI.

Like the European crisis some time ago, the two camps were ready to start filming at any time. The Republic directly cut off a large amount of aid to Western Europe. supply line.

As for the resources in South America, there is no need to think about it. The United States can’t develop it stably even if it occupies the land itself. The battle with the guerrillas and the war with the Zerg made the United States basically abandon the policy of total occupation and change it to population concentration and agency. The policy of man-to-man rule replaces the direct intervention of the Mi army with the means of ordering the puppet regime within the GDI framework.

The resources in the Republic's own territory are definitely not enough anyway, and there are many defects in the category and quality. For example, the problem of copper deficiency that has not changed for thousands of years is an example of non-ferrous metal defects.Moreover, excessive mining can easily cause serious ground subsidence and even large-scale subsidence accidents. The destruction of the geological structure is not impossible to solve with today's technical means, but it is purely full of food and tossing oneself.

After all, the moon is still an important goal for the next step.After taking down the moon, the Zerg lost this outpost and could only rely on the expeditionary force to temporarily enter the battle, then the whole would turn from offense to defense, and the strategic initiative would be shifted.At the same time, the Republic will also obtain the resources of the moon, mainly high-quality titanium ore and helium 3. With them, the Republic can confidently and boldly produce weapons and equipment, battleship cannons, and at the same time use the helium 3 nuclear fusion technology that it has long Officially put into production, an upgrade of the existing deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion system.

After the enterprise's fleet returns, it will immediately enter the second stage of the orbital battle after a short rest, which is the task of seizing control of the middle and high orbits.

The control of the earth's orbit is a prerequisite for counterattacking the moon, otherwise the troops' expedition and logistical support will be threatened at home.Even if the swarm could not be completely wiped out, they must be weakened to such an extent that they could not interfere with the implementation of the lunar campaign plan.

At the same time, the Republic is still planning to launch a war of encirclement and annihilation against the insect swarms in the Southeast Asian theater in order to completely eliminate the threat of the Indian Ocean.The implementation time of this campaign is tentatively scheduled to be after the end of the orbit clearing campaign. After mastering the complete control of the sky and in turn cutting off the swarm's supply channel to the ground, there are quite conditions for the implementation of this campaign.

Of course, in the best case, in theory, of course, after the moon counterattack is taken, the earth swarm can be guaranteed to be isolated. It is conceivable that the reinforcements from Mars can penetrate the orbital defense network and reach the earth.After all, it is not ten years ago when humans did not have reliable orbital defense capabilities.

The enterprise strike group escorted the Hyacinth on autopilot, and was recaptured by the gravity of the earth, advancing from the boundary of the atmosphere to the ground.

Of course, this situation has been noticed by all parties. Whether it is the swarm or the countries on the earth, after all, such a large fleet does not have optical invisibility, so it is not difficult to see it.

However, the swarms were very forbearing. They suffered huge losses at the border of the solar system, and even basically dispatched reinforcements to the orbital battlefield of the Earth-Moon system to the edge of the solar system, but the result can basically be said to be beaten by the fleet. Most of the group's firepower was wiped out, and the remnants are still on their way back.As a result of the battle, apart from causing some losses to the airborne troops of the ground troops, these main battleships covered with thick titanium alloy armor basically suffered no substantial losses.

Of course they are well aware of the impact of releasing the Hyacinth back into the earth, but they really don't have the strength to intercept it now.Bear with it first, and wait for the breath to come. The regular space battle force reinforced from Mars is in place, and there will be an even more tragic second-stage battle in Earth orbit.

And the countries on the earth are quite awkward. This is not the first time they have seen a New Era-class aircraft carrier. When this ship was being prepared in the dry dock for emergency assembly before the expedition, it frightened the West enough.They originally thought that the Republic's frigates of a few hundred meters would be enough. They were all real interstellar warships, and they were already very powerful.But it is a bit too much to be true for a two-kilometer battleship.

At the beginning, GDI was still bragging about the "New Standard Series" anti-orbital interceptor bombs all day long. Equipped with nuclear warheads, they can cause effective damage to Roman Dirk-class warships. It felt like a spiritual continuation, and then basically stopped talking.

Now GDI’s internal publicity is basically an argument, “Spaceship is a very cost-effective way of exploration and development, time and space travel technology is the future of mankind.” “Star Warship is a floating iron coffin, it’s not impossible to build There is no need to make it."

But now, the Hyacinth, which is more than twice the size of the New Era class, slowly began to re-enter the atmosphere under the escort of a whole fleet with gunpowder and battle scars. The scene was not too shocking.

"First Expeditionary Fleet, the orbital airspace has been cleared, welcome to return."

The enterprise received greetings from the No. 031 orbital defense platform. These defense platforms themselves were not stationed during the war. These should be maintenance technicians after the battle.

The company felt a little emotional. This trip basically traveled half of the solar system. Although the mission was successfully completed, more than 200 martyrs were killed in distant alien stars. They could only return to their hometown with their remains. It is still a bit uncomfortable to think about it. .

After thinking about it, the company didn't know how to reply, and in the end there was only one sentence left: "Thank you."

Chapter 218 Hyacinth's Gift

After the Hyacinth landed, under the authority of the company, the reverse research work on it began immediately.

The goals are mainly in the following areas: new materials, energy shields, and new principles of space engine technology.Others can only say that they are doing their best, but they are not in a hurry.

Needless to say, the significance of materials science, the energy shield has a strong effect on strengthening the combat effectiveness of the existing fleet of the Republic. The new space jump engine technology does not expect to find out any practical results immediately, the main thing is to try to find The principle of new technology outside the technical system of Sean Fujikawa.

The space transition is now the shortcoming of the Republic. It has no foundation at all, and the research on Sean Fujikawa's principle is not thorough.

From the point of view of physics at this stage in the 21st century, space transition is still an existence that only exists in science fiction works.The contradiction between faster-than-light travel and the theory of relativity exists objectively. In the past, it was better to study the principle of warp bubbles to bypass the barriers of the theory of relativity. There is still a little possibility of faster-than-light travel.

The physics community of the Republic has been in a process of pain and joy in these years. On the one hand, many frontier barriers have been directly broken through, and ready-made correct conclusions and technical systems have been put in front of us. On the other hand, this means that many theoretical achievements in the past They have to be modified to a certain extent or even overturned.

It is not uncommon for scientists to have theories falsified, or to need to be revised due to new research findings.As long as a credible theory can be produced, the scientific community will accept new things very quickly.Just like the quantum theory disputes between the Copenhagen school and the Einstein school, they actually happened in frontier fields that were not fully understood at the time.

But the problem now is that it's all changing too fast.It’s not just college students and front-line teachers who have suffered these years. You must know that the new knowledge they use has been researched and sorted out by front-line scientists, and then connected to the current level of technology. Front-line scientists are the most tiring, of course. For their spirit of exploration, this kind of work is also the happiest.

At present, there is a lot of controversy in the frontier physics circles in China about the technical route of the transition.Because the Sean Fujikawa engine of the UNSC has a lot of flaws, especially in the two aspects of short-distance jumps and precision jumps, there is no doubt about it.But at this stage, the academic world has only just understood most of Sean Fujikawa's principles. It is really difficult to come up with new technical routes or improve the original Sean Fujikawa system.

The arrival of the Hyacinth provided them with a possibility. Although compared with the detailed information provided by the Starway System, the various technologies of the Hyacinth, which can only be slowly reversed, will be much slower to produce results, but Scientific research is not something that can be achieved overnight.It is obviously unacceptable to completely rely on pioneers, and the old tradition of "Sharingan" that should be imitated, reversed and innovated must continue to be maintained.

The Hyacinth's flight engine can support it from the Andromeda galaxy to the solar system across a distance of more than 20 galactic diameters. Anyone who can touch a little basic principle in this is of great benefit.

In addition to these three regular and necessary project working groups, there is also a special project team at the Hyacinth scientific research base, which is responsible for nothing else but the research on the Hyacinth's life-support module system.

These advanced life-support technologies certainly have research value, but the most valuable is the Andromeda visitor inside.

According to the company's report, when the Hyacinth fell to the edge of the solar system, the engine still showed signs of working, so according to general reasoning, the energy output will definitely be given priority to the escape system or the life-saving refrigeration system in an emergency.If there is no accident, there may really be surviving Andromeda guests in these big jars.

According to their attitude towards Pioneer and Star Road, there is a high probability that the Republic can have peaceful exchanges with them.Language is a small problem, the big deal is to slowly rely on supercomputers to study and crack syllable by syllable, and sooner or later you will be able to speak, attitude is the main problem.

As an unarmed ship, the Hyacinth, apart from the value of the hull materials, hardware equipment, and crew, its greatest value is the astonishingly large star map that the enterprise once inadvertently opened on the bridge.

For the human beings who are about to leave the solar system, this is simply sending charcoal in the snow, and the situation of the cantilever of the Milky Way where the solar system is located can be seen at a glance.

Not only are there records of the space position and flight path of each star area, but also a large number of planet-specific data records, as well as records of some low-level civilizations and primitive life. This is of great value to future development and immigration. up.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if the technological value of the Hyacinth is excluded, this battle is worth fighting just for this star map.If human beings slowly build ships, set up institutional departments, organize pioneering and expedition teams, and explore the outer solar system bit by bit, there will be a saying about this time.

Basically, only by taking the century as the unit can we open a small field of vision.

The number of stars in the Milky Way is hundreds of billions, and such an exploration speed is not an exaggeration at all.And during this exploration process, there is "fog of war" all around. Once you accidentally provoke some forces in the dark, things will be troublesome again.You can't count on your next opponent to be beaten into a severely disabled bug.

It's all right now, with vision, it can be operated, and it's easy to say anything.I can't afford to walk around directly and it's over.

However, after the deciphering of the text of this star map is completed, the Republic will be surprised to find that at least in the star area that this star map has developed, there are basically few decent interstellar civilizations that have reached the level of the current quasi-stellar civilization of the Republic. There are not many civilized people.

There are many, many star systems with life, and even counting planets above the level of multicellular organisms, the number far exceeds estimates.And there are quite a few galaxies with civilizations. Although there are none near the solar system, the nearest civilization exists in the nearest 60 light-years or so. The transliteration is similar to "Kerbala", and its level is about the same as the technology of the current Western camp. About the same level.

However, this is actually different from the estimate of the Republic, because in the past, the Zerg who were obviously not soft persimmons could be severely disabled, and then the Republic itself also came into contact with a god-level civilization like the Pioneer, so it is easy to infer that this galaxy is very Dangerous, maybe it belongs to the Warring States Period where gods fight.

But at least the information of the Hyacinth now tells people that the area where the solar system is located is generally considered relatively safe. Is this credible?

Is it really safe, or is there an advanced civilization that cannot be detected by the technological level of the Hyacinth?

If it was in the past, the Republic believed that the former was more likely, but now that the United States has been operating in recent years, it has to make people wonder whether there are situations where the technology tree is incompatible or the form of life itself is different?

Maybe this galaxy is far more lively than what Hyacinth saw.

PS: It is necessary to expand the world view and advance the plot, the big one is coming_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 219 The times have changed, old beauty

Returning to the 114 base—now it has been renamed "Jinjin City"—the company has truly felt the meaning of the poem "Nostalgic empty singing and listening to the flute and Fu, and going to the countryside to look like a Lanke person".

It took only half a year to go, but in a civilization that is rapidly marching into the universe, many changes have taken place.

A large number of industrial infrastructures have been launched across the country. First of all, the first self-produced Paris-class frigate has left the ground dock and started sea trials, and will be equipped with a full crew and marine troops. This is the progress visible to the naked eye.

As for the changes in the various situations on the earth, the company was also a little surprised. I didn't expect that the earth has been so lively in the past few months. The old Europe looks like a pill. The Youth Party has gone through so many storms and is only one step away from unifying the country. However, the old French revolutionary base finally returned to "the road once imagined"...

Of course, the resource gap is indeed getting bigger and bigger.

The Republic’s light industry and factory agriculture have little impact, because most of the required raw materials can be produced or synthesized by themselves, and the rest can basically be met by importing some from surrounding areas. The pressure is only to supply many countries in the entire Eurasian continent. , transport capacity is relatively scarce, after all, it is impossible to use military transport forces to perform these transport tasks, and the combat pressure is also very high.

The main thing is heavy industry. After all, starch can be synthesized, but it is too difficult to synthesize metals. It is still impossible to synthesize metal elements in large quantities with the current technology, and minerals are still needed.

Currently, China and the United States are negotiating the restoration of Australia's supply chain. The two sides have been arguing about this issue for a long time, and they have been unable to reach an agreement.The point of disagreement itself has nothing to do with Australia. Even the United States has little demand for the Republic's technology or military cooperation. The focus of the debate is the expansion of the trend of European revolution.

The request of the United States can be summed up in one sentence: the Republic withdraws from European affairs.

The subtext is to ask the Republic to stop its covert support for the European revolution, and it is not appropriate to say that it is covert.

Who in the world now does not know that the Republic is supporting the left-wing movement in Europe. Although on the surface it has a bunch of left-wing parties with the Youth Party, the New Burundi Party, and the New French Republic, it seems that there are not many substantive exchanges. East Germany directly put eye drops on the European capitalist regime.However, the material assistance, technical assistance, and personnel training carried out by Maozi are all open secrets.

The Republic has indeed been providing a large amount of material assistance to European countries under the framework of the United Nations Security Council. On the surface, it seems that it does not distinguish between ideology and camp, but a large number of special trains sent to Europe will always end up in Eastern Europe. "Missing" and returning empty, everyone knows what he did.

So what can the European countries do? The United States is unable to eradicate the insect swarms in the Atlantic Ocean. Even if it really wants to reproduce the European confrontation of the Cold War, it cannot provide much support to Europe.Relying on air transport capacity, it is very difficult for the United States to maintain 15 troops stationed in the British Isles. The United States does not have the powerful Raven or even Pelican transport aircraft like the Republic. It is nothing more than optimizing and upgrading the C17 with a new technology system. The equipment has not yet completed the test flight.And it's not just the performance gap. Although the physical industry in the United States has recovered and developed, it is not in the same dimension compared with the violent interstellar industry of the Republic.

Do you understand the demand gap for light industry to support the population of Eurasia, and the gold content of more than 30 countries armed with heavy industry equipment?

A country like France, which relies entirely on aid to survive, dares to criticize the Republic's behavior of "hiding private goods and doing private affairs" in aid.

As for the diplomatic platform, it is even more obvious. Although it seems that it does not directly support the Youth Party with a clear-cut and domineering attitude like the Soviet Union, it treats "allies" such as the Youth Party and Britain and France differently.

When Tirpitz came to China before, although the youth party did not formally establish the country, he did not adopt the national ceremony, but like Aurora, they were all received with high standards, and the central pomp was very grand. As the supreme secretary, he personally received them in the name of political party exchanges and negotiated various agreements.

When the heads of state of Britain and France visited, they were all received by tribunes. Speaking of diplomacy between countries, the ostentation was not small, but the difference should not be too obvious.

Needless to say, the Republic's direct statement in this continental continental crisis almost slapped the entire main army in the face.For Britain and France to have this kind of treatment, it is estimated that it is time for the swarms to invade the mainland, and the country will perish and even Europe will fall.

The United States does not have many chips in its hands now, and the current strength gap between the two sides has obviously exceeded the gap between the Soviet Union's offensive and the US's defense in the 20s, but it still wants to try its best to fight the Republic in European affairs.

After all, Latin America has almost digested it, and Australia is at hand, and African swarm control cannot be provoked for the time being, so Europe can still be used to expand GDI to gain benefits.

Now that the situation in Europe is tense, and the left-wing movement is surging, it is a good opportunity for the United States to fish in troubled waters.

The United States is very aware of the resource gap of the Republic. The resources obtained from Australia are calculated in billions of tons or tens of billions of tons. They are an important basis for the development of the Republic and subsequent campaigns. As a resource provider, the United States of course knows it well.Now that the Republic is preparing to launch a larger-scale orbital counterattack and lunar campaign, this gap will expand. The United States wants to see if it can get stuck on this issue.

The United States has actually planned to do this for a long time before, but it has been struggling to find an excuse. If no one comes and cuts off the supply of the Republic, then the Republic will have a moral excuse to "destroy the united front". This is a gift to the other party. Knife, definitely can't do that.With the help of this incident in Europe, the United States finally got this card. Of course, it has to be played out to see if it can be exchanged for some benefits.

This can be regarded as an old style in the United States. If you can take advantage of it, you must try it, and never let go of any opportunity to grab an extra bite from your bowl.

It would have been a week or two ago, and perhaps the Republic would hesitate again and again. After all, it is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, and battles still have to be fought, and the gap exists objectively.

But it’s different now. The enterprise has returned with the main fleet, so the pressure on the follow-up orbital battle will drop sharply, and the pressure on the resource gap will also be greatly reduced. It won't give him a good face.

Therefore, on March 3, the fifth round of negotiations between the United States and the Republic held in Tokyo on the Australian supply chain broke down again, and the Republic was not prepared to continue the talks. After three temporary adjournments, the ambassador of the Republic delegation directly Announcing the end of the negotiation, the two parties parted ways directly after shaking hands.

That night, the American side belatedly sent out an invitation to have a dinner together, but was directly and cleanly rejected. Basically, they were not prepared to entangle with the American side any more.

In the words of Ambassador Xu Zhigang of the Republic delegation to the Huashe reporter: "The United States seems to have not adjusted its mentality and position, and is negotiating with us based on a wrong perception of self-strength. This kind of insincerity is not beneficial to the negotiation. And it must also take responsibility for the breakdown of the cooperation between the two countries."

Of course, the company was a little confused. She had just returned to her dormitory, and before she could feel the hug from the bed, she heard the news that the negotiations had broken down, and was told by Lao Zheng that the breakup had something to do with her.

What is murderous is that when the news of the breakdown of the previous negotiations spread around the world, the Youth Party immediately announced that it would establish a new people's state after the liberation of Frankfurt.When the time comes, the first official state visit to the Republic will be made and an attempt will be made to establish friendly relations.

The Republic immediately expressed its warm welcome and publicly stated that after the German comrades successfully established their own country, the Republic would be the first to recognize it.

Chapter 220 Technological Harvest and Corps System Reform

Speaking of the indispensable tasks of enterprises after each war, it is natural to go to the hands of the pioneers to search for technology and happy shopping.
