The harvest of this expedition is very great, and it is the most harvested in the previous battlefields.

The reason is simple. First of all, there are two mission rewards this time: "Exploration at the Edge of the Solar System" and Hyacinth. The former belongs to the "Technology Exploration" mission sequence of Star Road. There are few companies in this area, but the mission tree itself exists. Yes, like exploring the solar system itself is a chain of this mission, the rewards are very rich, and they are all a lot of technology points.

Basically, every planetary system in the solar system, the sun itself, the asteroid belt, etc., all constitute the system, there is at least one corresponding task chain, and it is estimated that other star systems will be the same in the future.To put it simply, it is a must-have product for farming at home when there is no war.And the company's exploration of the planets of the solar system along the way, and the landing and exploration of Sedna, directly triggered a series of missions to complete, and the harvest exploded directly, and more than 30 technology points were obtained. The major scientific research institutes directly left the company The projects during this period, as well as the new tasks now, can all be launched in one go. It can be regarded as a late New Year gift for the comrades on the scientific research front.

The Hyacinth is a sudden mission, just like the mission to eliminate the beacon bug in Kunnan, the nature is the same, but too much is given.Just give 1 to the technology points directly, and the value is so rich that I never thought of it before.

In the end, of course, there are a large number of battle rewards. The task of wirelessly killing the Zerg can be said to be a lot of money this time.The swarms that came to Sedna even the cannon fodder like warriors are elites who have been strengthened, and there are also a large number of biological orbital weapons, each of which is priceless, comparable to a [-]-ton Zerg destroyer on the water.

And the new era-level main guns and point defense gun arrays, after a salvo, can directly ignite a series of "fireworks" on the battlefield, as well as the continuous orbital bombing, including the big mushrooms thrown by the company in the end, directly to the battlefield. The large number of swarms that were airborne on the surface increased by a third.

After all these things, this wave is really a win, and there is a kind of joy of harvest.

Even a person as stable as the Grand Consul, his hands visibly trembled when he saw the points that directly passed 50 technology points and directly passed one million points.

This is probably the same feeling as selling Dongfeng Express to a big dog for the first time in the last century and earning billions in foreign exchange. It has never been so arrogant.

Thinking about the past, when the Future Science and Technology Committee made plans, they wished that one point could be broken into three parts.Various scientific research institutes reported a bunch of proposals, a bunch of demands for cutting-edge projects, and to be honest, they were basically in urgent need.

After all, in front of a complete future technology tree, no matter what field you are in, you are all short boards...

Then there is a meeting where hair can be pulled out. The big bosses of the committee discuss and discuss in a hurry every day. Except for the generally recognized aspects such as materials, energy, space science, etc., the rest are basically public affairs. It is reasonable to say that the public is right, and the woman is right. Each discipline has its own principles to demonstrate its importance.

Just kidding, everyone is a central-level scholar, and the understanding of the subject and the skill of speaking in the presentation are not bad for anyone.

Then everyone was arguing with red faces, and only one person from the company was left shivering while listening to the meeting, because they really couldn't understand anything, just like listening to a scripture.

In the end, the central government has to coordinate with all parties, come up with a plan after repeated work, and finally implement it.

It's all right now, in the words of Lao Li, it means "no matter what the main attack or assist is, they all play the main attack".

In many aspects such as planetary habitability transformation, civil interstellar ship manufacturing, conventional individual weaponry, future smart city construction, new generation transportation infrastructure, etc., these were previously either "temporarily unavailable" or "now available" It can be used for two reasons, and the aspect that has not been considered much is now on the list.

If we say that the improvement of science and technology in the past was mainly the improvement of basic and key areas, and the horizontal diffusion of the level of science and technology itself is relatively insufficient, now it is in the process of comprehensively "spreading branches and spreading leaves".Try to improve the "multi-level and unbalanced" problem in technology as soon as possible.

In theory, given time, as the impact of technological development spreads across the country, this problem can gradually be made up by its own development, but the overall cost will be a loss.Because in any case, the development of science and technology and the advancement of society form a whole.

The overall development of civilization is governed by the "barrel theory".For example, the scientific literacy of grassroots people who have been making great efforts but still have not fully caught up with the pace of development will be affected by various information media tools produced by civilian industries and the working and living environment.

Cutting-edge technology has indeed taken off with nuclear fusion, and there is also a space leap, but if the masses still use smart phones that are not necessarily advanced, whether they are in the office, on the construction site or in the factory, they go to work as before, and all kinds of folk spirits The construction of enterprises and institutions that provide cultural products has not caught up, so it is useless to expect the masses to quickly understand the various abstract concepts produced by cutting-edge scientific and technological progress.

Under such a rule, instead of holding back and thinking about saving the inexhaustible resources of cutting-edge technology for later use, it is better to use it to expand the technology tree horizontally and improve the development of the overall civilization.

The overall progress has been made. In the future, facing the Zerg will naturally obtain more technological resources, and the balance of war will gradually tilt towards itself. At this stage, defeating the Zerg is of course a very important strategic goal, which is a matter of survival. .

At the same time, when the company came to the capital with ease and was ready to execute the exchange of the technology list, it was called to hold a high-level meeting of the military system.

Although her military rank is a major general, which is a bit low in the conference room where the lieutenant generals started, she is a person who is paid close attention to and welcomed by the participating leaders of all military branches. After all, her military rank is meaningless to put it bluntly. However, the changes that enterprises have brought to this country cannot be easily measured in this way.

The theme of this meeting is simple.

The first is to discuss various issues of subsequent interstellar warfare. The actual combat of the enterprise in Sedna is the only actual experience so far, involving fleet warfare, orbital landing warfare, and the follow-up space-earth coordination campaign cooperation between the fleet and ground forces. question.

Of course, the commanders and fighters who participated in this battle were immediately required to write reports and hold various summary meetings after they came back, including many senior generals who would also attend the meeting.As a commander, the voice of the enterprise is of course more important to listen to, which is very valuable.

The counterattack against the moon that will be launched later is actually closer to Sedna's battle in nature.After all, whether it is the size of the moon, the gravity conditions or the characteristics of no atmosphere, all aspects are relatively close to Sedna, which has a strong reference significance for the follow-up.

As for the second issue, of course, it is still related to the follow-up counterattack campaign, and the main discussion is about the reorganization of the army.

Still taking Sedna as an example, this large-scale battle fully illustrates a problem, that is, in the subsequent interstellar war, the entire battle basically relies on the fleet itself and the accompanying atmosphere to fight It is carried out by force, and sometimes even has to rely on unmanned factories to supply materials for consumption.

A fleet is a complete battle unit.

Under such circumstances, the separation of the military and arms formed on the earth, and the unified combat mode under the coordination of the theater naturally does not hold water and needs to be changed.

A fleet and its associated space fighters, air force in the atmosphere, orbital strike force and landed ground forces must be combined in a certain mode.

Of course, the specific organization plan is still being explored, and this new organization obviously, as a campaign unit, has the nature of a "front army" and will be used as a campaign-level force to independently or jointly execute a certain campaign.

At present, according to the news that the company learned from the meeting, the new establishment is likely to reuse the name "Bingtuan".

PS: Stay up late to code words, update in the underworld _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 221 Northeast Revitalization and Interstellar Field Corps

Regarding the reorganization of the corps, it is now mainly planned to be carried out in the space force. The standard battle strike group represented by the New Era-class aircraft carrier, a three-dimensional battlefield force system including orbital ship forces, air control forces inside and outside the atmosphere, and ground forces, constitute a corps.

In addition to the company and platoon-level small-scale troops carried by each ship in the organization table, the ground forces use the additional modular deployment warehouses mounted on the ships as the carrier when performing large-scale campaign missions. A fleet can at least Directly deploy 1 heavy brigade unit.

According to the establishment of the Republic that has been continuously adjusted during the war over the years, a heavy brigade is basically about 5000 people, with 10 battalion establishments, 5 synthetic battalions and 5 special battalions.

Nowadays, the main combat force of a group army is generally about 8 brigades, plus various air, firepower, logistics, information and other support units of some military affiliates, the total number of people is about 6.Compared with the common 6 brigades before the Zerg war broke out, the scale of the [-]th brigade has been expanded, mainly to deal with high-intensity and large-scale ground wars. This is because the quality of wars within humans before the arrival of the Zerg is becoming more and more important. The number of countries is relatively streamlined. Not quite the same.

Generally speaking, a heavy armored brigade certainly cannot reach the combat effectiveness of a group army, but the firepower, protection and information level of the equipment are all strengthened, and it is directly equipped with an orbital-level heavy fire support system to perform high-intensity tasks. On the contrary, it is more appropriate.

As the troops who open up the landing field and carry out the first batch of campaign missions, the quality of combat power is more important. After winning the first position, the follow-up troops can develop the campaign in depth.

Of course, if you want to carry a heavy armor brigade at full capacity, the space inside the hull will still be occupied. After all, the land combat forces carried by UNSC's main frigates are generally at the company level.Of course, there is a lot of space in the hull, and people can be stuffed in, but there is still an upper limit. The transfer of personnel and equipment in the hull requires a space margin.It is the same reason as the scheduling of the surface aircraft carrier deck.

At the same time, if you want to attach fighters and transport aircraft units that are commensurate with the size of this land force, then you have to think of a way. For example, like the Picatinny rails of the rifle with various components hanging on all sides, many modules are also mounted on the side of the ship. , to accommodate formation fighters.

Objectively speaking, an army of more than 5000 people is definitely not enough to attack the moon and even Mars where the Zerg has been operating for ten years. Therefore, the second batch of large-scale follow-up troops following the sharp knife army is very important. Now, at this time, the big move must be made, which is to form a large-scale transport ship in the fleet.

These armed transport ships are not purely civilian ships like surface ro-ro ships. They are basically military improved models of the Phoenix-class colonial ships, aiming to carry a large number of personnel and equipment, with some basic combat tactical capabilities.

The reason for doing this is the old tradition of "predicting the enemy leniently": since the Battle of Sedna showed that the Zerg has the ability of orbital warfare, the first stage of the earth's orbital clearing campaign also shows that in the space battlefield, the Zerg's arms are also rapidly evolving, and have already Breaking away from the technological restrictions of the United States, the Zerg's own biotechnology system began to recover.Then we must be prepared for a bloody battle with the Zerg in orbit. At this time, if a large number of pure civilian ships are incorporated, it will be a hindrance.

After the war in the solar system is over, they can continue to shine for the development and construction, and it is safer to colonize and colonize outside the solar system.

And the scale of a battle group formed in this way is very large. A fully equipped Phoenix-class armed transport ship can hold more than 3000 people and equipped with heavy equipment. Transport and airborne battles, and can basically keep up with the actions of the main fleet's orbital battlefield.

Generally speaking, the ground combat force of a main combat corps formed from this can basically reach the size of a group army, with about 5 to 6 people.At the same time, due to the exclusive access to the entire fleet and the orbital support of deploying armed constellations, as well as the priority supply of heavy equipment and good equipment, the firepower is many times stronger than that of the conventional group army.

The theoretical establishment of the affiliated fleet is currently based on the plan proposed by the company itself. It adopts an aircraft carrier or a large capital ship core, with 12 to 15 destroyers and frigates, 2 to 4 light cruisers, and about 20 armed transport ships.In this way, the surface area of ​​about 1000 million square kilometers can basically be controlled, and the absolute control of the altitude orbit within 300 kilometers above the area can be achieved. This heavy fire mobile corps can be fully equipped in this area within 6 hours Full arrival at any point.

The establishment plan and campaign thinking were prepared by the company on the way back, and they were handed over to the central government as soon as they came back. Now they are handed over to the actual discussion, and the possibility of passing is very high.

Such a force that can basically carry out a large-scale planetary landing operation independently is the field corps of the new era. It is close to the front army or theater in nature, but it is obviously not as large as the front army and theater, so it is formed at the level of the group army. The entire three-dimensional combat force is a corps, which is a better solution.

If there is still a need for a larger-scale campaign, additional troops can also be temporarily synthesized and incorporated, whether it is to strengthen the fleet or strengthen the ground forces, that is, to strengthen the corps.

In the future, after the Republic has a large-scale interstellar combat force, it will be able to organize theaters on the basis of corps. It may take a star system as a defense zone and configure three to four corps.These interstellar corps are mainly responsible for the main mobile warfare on the frontal battlefield, and they are field troops. The surface of the main immigrant planet is defended by other troops.

Of course, regardless of whether the company's plan will be revised later, in short, at this stage, large-scale shipbuilding and dumpling cannot escape.

The new batch of large-scale starship shipyards that the Republic is about to complete in the three eastern provinces and North China are basically suitable for the manufacture of giant ships of 2.5 kilometers in size like the Phoenix class, and the manufacturing power is currently given priority to the manufacture of Phoenix class ships , not the New Era-class battleship of the same size.

The construction is concentrated in the three northeastern provinces and North China, mainly because it is backed by Siberia, the largest resource producing area in the Republic.

Siberia has almost all the mineral resources in the world at present, and the reserves are extremely rich. A large amount of non-ferrous metals can directly cross the Mongolian Plateau and enter the factories of the Republic.At the same time, this direction is safer than the south where the flames of war are always burning at the door of the house. Even if the insect swarm lands, there is sufficient reaction time and a large buffer space.

Of course, this is another opportunity for the Northeast to take off. At present, the super-heavy military industry represented by interstellar ships is basically distributed in the north. The headquarters of the Starship Heavy Industry Group is located in Liaodong. Supply to the three provinces in the Middle East accounted for more than 41.35%. Currently, 8 of the 6 Paris-class frigates in a batch that are about to enter service are produced by Liaoyang No. [-] Interstellar Ship Manufacturing Plant in Liaodong, which can basically be said to be half of the armed forces.

Therefore, for the localized model of the Paris-class frigate, it is basically certain that the first ship will be named after Liaoyang. She is now called Liaoyang class.

The production place of the Liji-class destroyer is in Chang'an, and it is basically certain that it will have the nickname "Chang'an".

The great development of heavy industry in the north, and the current environment of major wars and major constructions provide a lot of demand, thus providing a broad space for development, attracting a large number of young people to go to the north to develop and even go out for development. Of course, there are policy calls and The administrative system directly dispatched personnel to the north. In short, it generally regained the demeanor of the eldest son of the old Northeast Republic.

In recent years, the streets and alleys in Northeast China have taken on a new look. "Recreating the glory of the eldest son of the Republic" is the most common slogan in the streets and alleys, and the masses are indeed very enthusiastic.

In the wave of large-scale construction, sweeping away the situation that has gradually fallen behind and dilapidated in the past few decades, but under the news of brand-new cities and occasional interstellar ship test flights, you can still see old men and women twisting Yangko, it can only be said It still has a bit of an oriental cyberpunk feel.

PS: Underworld author, suddenly updated.

Chapter 222 Shipbuilding and Construction!Great build ship!

In this meeting, in addition to the draft of Corps reform, she also specifically raised one point, that is, the actual combat significance of the orbital airborne force is indeed very strong, and it can be expanded on a large scale in the future.

For such an elite fist force, the company believes that at this stage, it is best to routinely maintain a division-level unit organization, which is directly integrated with the ship, that is, the combat soldier organization directly on each ship except for the crew is mainly composed of ODST.

The advantage of this is that on the one hand, a single frigate can be deployed quickly and secretly to carry out tasks such as airborne, infiltration, sabotage, intelligence collection, etc. behind enemy lines at the company platoon or even team level; Form a large-scale deployment scale at the division and regiment level, and form a sharp knife to destroy the enemy on the front.

The division-level organization adopted by the Republic is relatively small. Under the background of reduced personnel density and increased equipment density, it is more appropriate for an elite ODST division to have around 6000 personnel. In this case, there is no need for external deployment ports. The destroyer fleet itself can deploy battalion-level units to carry out small-scale, high-intensity campaign missions, or suppression of hotspot areas, which are very useful.

After the fleet size expands in the future, it is more appropriate to keep three division-level units, and it is also very useful to carry out some non-large-scale war missions in relatively peaceful times.

For example, in this European crisis, it will be much easier to deal with such a force after it is established. A destroyer and frigate squad will skip over Europe and drop hundreds of airborne pods secretly, and the matter will probably stop.

Under the absolute ability to suppress the space orbit, a high-informatization, high-mobility, heavy-firepower, single-soldier A-level titanium alloy armor plate and exoskeleton blessing troops, a division-level unit can suppress a small army like France. There is nothing wrong with the state of the land.

In this case, there is no need to worry as much as mobilizing large-scale troops to interfere.

The formation of the group army is too large, and the formation of the regiment is too small. Therefore, it is more appropriate to maintain the division-level formation in an elite unit like ODST that can be used on the front.

At present, the orbital airborne force with more than 700 people left after actual combat experience is basically a seed force. The establishment of this 200 division will continue to be retained. On the basis of these backbone fighters, it will be expanded into a full division. The unit will do.

This proposal was recognized by the veteran generals of the participating troops. The 1000-man army lacked heavy firepower on the front line, and the results of the battle on the surface of Sedna and the cooperation with the fleet were excellent. .

If there is no support from the fleet or orbiting satellites, the ODST should become the only pure "light infantry" unit in the Republic's land force. In addition to the small off-road and jeep vehicles, the 80mm electromagnetic mortar and howitzer carried by the jeep is regarded as a large-caliber force. In addition, it is basically individual equipment.

However, such super-elite light infantry obviously have meaning. The field forces with heavy firepower and heavy armor have obvious shortcomings in terms of flexibility. Light infantry has some irreplaceable tasks to accomplish.

One of the drafts proposed by the two companies will be deliberated, and the other will be basically approved by the central government. At this point, the summary of the company’s experience in the Sedna campaign is basically over. The focus of the discussion will be two: one is the development and construction of the follow-up surface ship force The second problem is the shipbuilding plan for interstellar ships.

The root of the former problem is still the old-fashioned problem of lack of resources.

Starships are resource-swallowing behemoths. The main frigates of several models are all in the 500-meter class. Regardless of technical issues, their body size is more than two circles larger than the Ford-class aircraft carrier, and the weight is directly calculated as double.

A fleet of destroyers is equivalent to eating the resources of a dozen Ford-class aircraft carriers in one go, not to mention the shortage of some non-ferrous metals and the limitation of short-board effects.

The rear of the Phoenix-class colonial ship needs to be built. One weighs 4400 million metric tons. A corps can say at least 20 ships. A billion tons of metal materials will be eaten up in one fell swoop. In the past, the Republic counted Tangshan as the steel output. The weight does not necessarily keep up.

To build a main interstellar army, it is really impossible to get it without eating up 30 billion tons of resources.

This is the terrifying gap brought about by the difference in civilization. Which country on earth can consume resources like this.Looking at the great development of the Republic in recent years, one can imagine how many resources it will absorb from the surrounding area.

Therefore, as far as the surface fleet is concerned, there have been no new ships of more than 4000 tons in service for more than six years. Now the latest capital ship is Bismarck's experimental battleship and 005 aircraft carrier. In terms of the number and tonnage of the surface fleet If so, the United States is really awesome now, with a total tonnage of over [-] million tons, and there are still a large number of ship mothers not included in it. It is true that the dream has returned to World War II.Those who didn't know about the Republic's surface fleet thought it was the navy's plight after Maozi's disintegration.

Now the Republic is basically adopting the strategy of "replacing the sea with the sky", replacing the sea control defense with orbital suppression of the surface. This is one of the reasons why the Republic's national power has not penetrated into the center of the Pacific Ocean these years.

The interstellar shipbuilding plan will be discussed later in this meeting. In fact, the issue of surface ships was mentioned earlier. In fact, it is still a formality. The ship persisted in combat.

And the shipbuilding plan of the starship is very large.

At present, in addition to the complete fleet provided by the pioneers in the enterprise strike group, the first batch of self-made 8 Liaoyang-class frigates have all been tested, and the first one is already preparing to enter service.There are also 3 Liji-class self-produced ships being built in the dock.

The rest are 26 Roman Dagger-class cruisers. This kind of small ship is built quickly, and with the by-product of the roulette, the scale is not small now. It was the main force in the previous orbit clearing battle.

The next phase of the shipbuilding plan is to prepare for the big counteroffensive, while also taking into account the follow-up interstellar exploration.

Therefore, the demand for Phoenix-class armed colonial ships is the largest. The first batch plans to launch 12 ships. The four interstellar shipbuilding plants with 4-kilometer-level manufacturing capabilities have now been completed, and all 3 giant shipyards are fully lined up.The follow-up manufacturing base is also under construction.

The 500-meter-class frigates and destroyers are basically determined to be the main body of the Republic's Starfleet development.Especially frigates, cost-effective, durable and practical, short construction period, less resource consumption, have combat capabilities outside the solar system, can not only fight orbital fleet warfare but also perform landing operations, and are more useful than destroyers specialized in fleet warfare. It is perfect for the current Republic, and they will be mass-produced later.The number of Liaoyang-class ships that can be launched at the same time in the next batch can reach 26. If the moon is captured in the future, this manufacturing capacity can be further expanded.
