There are so many planets in the universe, asteroid belts, and the living planets shown in the Hyacinth star map, which one is not more profitable than investing resources in these places?

However, what is unexpected is that this time District 11's response was particularly positive.It may be because the Republic is now fighting on multiple fronts, "the national strength is difficult to support", and it just so happens that the main force of its sea has also arrived in this sea area, so it simply increases its efforts and behaves more actively.

After all the Zerg had prepared a stage, if they didn't come up and sing, wouldn't it be a waste of the other party's kindness.

To this end, District 11 has already proposed to send a large-scale land force to intervene, citing the "principle of mutual security assistance" clause of the joint treaty.In Southeast Asia, they have made similar proposals many times before, but the matter at the door of the Republic, and the various resources are not so tight, of course, they have always refused at that time, and in the end there were only a few symbolic divisions and troops in the 11th district Come over to take on auxiliary tasks.

But it is different now. The Republic is fully preparing for the war on the moon and Mars, while Southeast Asia and the sky are already very anxious. On the issue of the Philippines, since some people are willing to go to the fire to get chestnuts and go to the rainforest to toss each other with the Zerg, then it is not considered. bad thing.

Although the wool comes from the sheep, District 11 is so hospitable, so there must be something to ask for, but it is not a big problem to clearly mark the price, and the possible charge for free volunteer labor is the highest.

With the Republic at the back, there is no need to worry that they will engage in some "historical classic re-enactment" and other show operations. The black and white provisions of the joint treaty are the boundaries of the action.The only thing to worry about is whether they can actually beat the real problem.

The bug swarms in the bloody battle with the Republic are all elite, and even the command level is a bit higher. Although Lu Zi in District 11 is now using a full set of middle weapons, there is a generation difference in performance, and the technical span of this generation difference may be century...

Don't be full of confidence and go up, it will be embarrassing to kowtow and break the blood, and you have to ask Big Brother to end the game.

However, after 3 p.m., the 87th Army's departure order, which had not been received, was finally cancelled. It seems that the emergency consultations between the two sides have reached an agreement.

District 11 is willing to fight this battle and earn some "blood-earned money", so let him go, anyway, he won't get pregnant if he tries.

If it goes well, the Republic will not need to make any effort, and the threat to the southeast will be eliminated; District 11 can receive a lot of assistance and some key "guarantees" from the Republic, which is also very good.

Anyway, both sides won, and the win was numb.

PS: I can't bear it any longer. Let's count the tickets. I'm going to bed. I can't hold back anymore...

Chapter 245 The Joy of Reconnaissance Moon and Miss Vesta

A reconnaissance plane that is a circle smaller than the J10, dragging a faint blue trail, and under the blessing of a full set of optical and infrared invisibility, quickly and silently rushed to the lunar orbit. The high-precision optical images and electromagnetic characteristics of invisible frequency bands will be recorded and used as the basis for subsequent analysis.

Behind it is the starry sky war as the background. The enterprise strike group is carrying out armed reconnaissance at the middle point of the Earth-Moon system, which is about 20 kilometers away from the moon. They will conduct high-precision electromagnetic reconnaissance operations on the lunar surface, not only to obtain images, but also to collect the magnetic field and heat of the lunar surface, and even the distribution characteristics of the components in the lunar soil, etc., all of which are of military value. The clues of activities must be carefully analyzed.

At the same time, large-scale and high-precision surveying and mapping of the lunar surface is also very necessary. In the past, the moon landings were for scientific research purposes, and due to technical reasons at that time, whether it was domestic, NASA or ESA, the scope of research was actually very small. very small.As far as military science is concerned, every mountain peak and valley bottom must be studied in detail. These are things that may affect life and death in wartime. important.

On Earth, basically as long as there are a little reliable countries, they are extremely sensitive to the matter of topographic surveying and mapping. Once foreigners engage in this kind of action without permission, they will basically be regarded as espionage.In China, citizens of the country are not allowed to engage in surveying and mapping without approval, and the surveying and mapping data of various units are also confidential. Many foreigners encountered by travel friends, fishing friends, etc. before are very valuable, but these years With the changes in the global situation, there are a lot less things in this area in China, and the insect swarms do not need human anti-human equipment for surveying and mapping.

In recent years, the two or three kittens on the surface of the moon and in the orbit of the moon, the unmanned lunar vehicles, lunar satellites, etc. of various countries, as you can imagine, have been sent long ago. The swarms just arrived on the moon as early as ten years ago. These scientific research assets They evaporated directly, and they were the first batch of human technological creations that were dismembered by the Zerg for research.

Therefore, before today, including the Republic itself, even if the technology has greatly improved, the data that can be collected on the earth is still not enough, especially in many situations on the far side of the moon and the north and south poles, including many places with strange terrain on the front side of the moon. It is really impossible to determine whether there are signs of Zerg activity by long-distance detection alone.

In particular, the Zerg itself also has long-distance reconnaissance intervention methods, and many data cannot even be guaranteed to be true, which certainly cannot support the battle.Therefore, the armed reconnaissance of the enterprise strike group is a relatively important task.

Without the escort of the main fleet, it is difficult to reach the moon by launching the probe directly from the direction of the earth, whether it starts from the ground or orbit. CNSA has tried many times before, and the gains and losses are not directly proportional.

Just this time, the fleet led by Bai Mao directly pierced through the middle and high orbits, directly piercing the two most threatening interception lines, and then the fleet will attract attention and release reconnaissance equipment with better stealth capabilities at close range.

Considering that the company was attacked by anti-orbital attacks on the way to the outer solar system before, and the fleet was not too close to the moon, who knows if the swarm will hide something like a MAC cannon on the moon? After ten years, it is not the same concept as those planets that the swarms rushed to before.

After this kind of reconnaissance operation, the company is expected to lead the team to implement it many times. It is estimated that it will be difficult to expect to complete its work in one battle. It is hard to say how long these small-sized reconnaissance aircraft with only basic self-defense firepower can survive on the moon.Among other things, even if they slipped in quietly, the collected information would be sent back to the earth, and the electromagnetic waves emitted would be difficult to hide. Once the swarm finds that their home has been infiltrated, they will have to dig three feet to find it. from.

At the same time, Enterprise was on the bridge, looking at the silver-white planet with a complete outline in front of it. The silent land of hundreds of millions of years is now covered with a dangerous atmosphere, especially on the back of the moon. What is going on behind it is almost blank.

I only know that every time the swarms increase their troops to the earth on a large scale, they start from the back of the moon.

After quickly finishing the task at hand, Enterprise immediately led the fleet to leave. The whole process was just a meeting of the fleet "accidentally skimming" the moon during the process of cleaning the high orbit. I hope this first time can at least not be discovered. Later As the number of reconnaissance increases, it will definitely be discovered, and it will become more and more difficult to collect intelligence.

Seeing the moon gradually moving away, and the insect swarm in the direction of the moon seemed to have no response, the company finally breathed a sigh of relief.At the same time, subconsciously began to think about the subsequent attack on the moon.

Basically, the front side of the moon is still a better choice for priority attack. First clear the orbit, then land on the front side, and then establish a solid forward base and logistics supply line. After a series of preparations such as material reserves, it is better to cooperate with the lunar surface and orbital forces to attack three-dimensionally on the back of the moon.

Landing directly on the back of the moon and hitting the opponent by surprise is theoretically feasible, but considering that the current experience of the army in space warfare is infinitely close to zero, and the swarm is definitely experienced, so this kind of play is likely to cause problems. Still won't consider it.

Just as the company was researching various attack plans, a small hand quietly covered the company's eyes, knowing who it was without even thinking about it.

"Guess who I am?"

"Beffa." The enterprise replied without emotion.

"Hmph, I guessed wrong, so I will punish you not to work and take a 10-minute break."

Xie Shi turned her head and gave her a blank look, but the latter just waved her head happily from side to side like a sunflower ornament in a car indifferently.

"What is the commander thinking about? Is Miss Vesta or the moon who is cuter, or is he thinking about the deployment of the fleet to attack the moon and the choice of landing site?"

"I think the moon is very suitable for building a super-large-scale shipyard. By then, Bismarck can also have a battleship."

"So Bismarck is cuter?"

"Miss E is the cutest."

Bai Mao said the last sentence with confidence and a clear conscience. If she hadn't been a single pusher, she wouldn't have become a half-way monk to become the ship's mother.It's a pity that Miss E can't be abducted now...cough cough, invited to my team, everyone will fight for a good ideal, and I can't justly push and post with the previous one-on-one. The only little regret.

The two of them were having a daily conversation in such an incoherent way. At the same time, the cheeks of the enterprise had been brutally beaten and squashed by various rubbings, while Bai Mao was rubbing his face very calmly and continued to talk to his assistant. ship dialogue.

Miss Vesta has no other hobbies since she came here. After completing the tasks with quality and quantity every day, besides studying oriental food, she just likes to bully the commander who bullies her. Let your own commanders taste the trial "innovative dishes" of "Thinking Wonderful Ideas" one by one.

How should I put it, to put it bluntly, it is not enough to reincarnate a little white hair if the body of the enterprise is not a weak flesh and blood.

Stir-fried pork shreds in heavy oil, sweet and sour titanium sticks, etc. To be honest, Miss Vesta, who is inspired to "organically combine" the oriental food culture with the ship girl, may be more talented in tricks, state banquets Chefs can't teach her, and sometimes they have to make the company suspect, Miss Vesta, she probably doesn't have British blood...

PS: It’s hard to top, the computer motherboard was sent, and I used the iPad to code. To be honest, it’s a bit tortured. The system ecology of IOS is really difficult to use. I urgently bought a laptop. I hope I can arrive before the Chinese New Year...

Chapter 246 Where to Fight, Where to Build

On May 5th, the war in the outer space of the earth gradually subsided, and the troops of the swarm on the orbit were basically wiped out. The remaining two or three kittens could not pose a real threat. The second phase of the orbit clearing campaign ended. It's actually easier to fight.

At this stage, the ships of the Republic have quality advantages, and the capital ship of the enterprise directly cuts into the back row. This is like the big C in the Liushen outfit rushing directly into the back row with full skills in ten minutes. It is actually hunting turkeys. The competition went smoothly.The other party also held on to the idea of ​​outputting output before death, and fought in the dark in low-Earth orbit, which did cause serious losses to the Republic's assets in orbit.

The losses in the last battle have not yet been made up. After this battle, the "Tianshu" responsible for earth observation and navigation, the "Tianlian" for global communication relay, the "Yuheng" for armed strikes on the ground, The four "Tianshield" satellite systems composed of orbital defense satellites and large platforms have all been severely damaged.The anchor port of the fleet including the enterprise was also attacked, but due to the importance of value, the defense deployed here is very tight, and even equipped with a dedicated squadron of resident longsword fighter jets and a dedicated satellite constellation for orbital defense. The dock itself is also somewhat defensive Arrays and small caliber railguns, the swarm gave up after a lot of losses here.

The insect swarm is much stronger than the Showa men, and their technical and tactical level is not at the same level. With the advantage in numbers, it is normal to lose a lot.

Even the cruiser team led by the Danyang ship suffered a major damage and two medium damage. The ground-launched orbital fighters suffered nearly 3% casualties. During the time, an average of more than 33.74 ammunition bases were used up. The battle was very intense, and the whole fight from the front line to the logistics was quite uncomfortable. It would take at least half a year of rest before the official start of the lunar campaign.

This is the result of a head-on confrontation with an opponent of the same size, and the disadvantages of being a pseudo-interstellar civilization that is not strong enough can be seen at a glance.

But no matter how you say it, winning is winning, and the casualties alone are not too many. 1034 people were killed in battle, and the casualties were only four figures. The casualty ratio of a battle of this scale and intensity looks very good.

But this is the result of "biological swarms PK steel swarms", the result of exchanging steel resources for sacrifices, the loss of the entire battle is quite large.Generally speaking, it is the same as the gradual development of high-tech wars on the earth. It is a trend that the loss of personnel is gradually reduced, but the loss in fighting is increasing.

Considering that these casualties are the basic talents in the interstellar field that are very scarce in the Republic at present, whether they stay in the army system or leave the army to carry out construction in the future with the great development, they will be of great effect.The Republic's cultivation of these first batch of "seed" level talents also consumes a lot of resources and efforts. Whether it is a pilot of an orbital fighter or a naval fighter of a battleship, the value may be much higher than that of a pilot of a fighter in the atmosphere.

Pilots in the atmosphere have the saying of "golden value of equal weight", let alone their value.This is a four-figure reimbursement, so it seems that the casualty ratio is also heartbreaking.

However, after the battle is over, the entire passage between the earth and the moon is completely in his hands. The overall gain must be far greater than the loss, and the follow-up reconstruction will begin immediately.

A Pelican transport plane without the military insignia of the troops lightly flew up from the atmosphere. In its forward direction, a modular new orbital dock is under construction, with engineering ships and thousands of unmanned machines. Workers in light space suits are shuttling through the construction area, and the module components sent up by giant propulsion engines from the East Asian continent are still arriving in batches.

This is an orbital dock under construction that can accommodate a maximum of 3 kilometers of ships. It can build and repair three New Era or Phoenix-class ships at the same time. Of course, it can be replaced with a smaller destroyer and cruiser. Of course, the capacity is stronger.The thing that was prepared for the enterprise before was simply an emergency maintenance dock, with only some simple maintenance functions, as well as functions such as storage and supply of weapons and ammunition.This is the true orbital dock.

Starship Heavy Industries has been making suggestions to the central government for a long time, thinking that it is better to build interstellar ships in orbit as much as possible if conditions permit. Basically, cruisers larger than 1000 meters are best built in space, and they are under gravity on the ground. , dense atmosphere and microorganisms, precision machining will be greatly affected, and the cost of solving these problems will increase needlessly.

It's just that the orbit has been unsafe before, but now that the control has been taken down, this matter has started immediately.

In the cockpit of the Pelican transport plane, Liu Xihong, an old acquaintance, is studying everything in the universe quite freshly. Originally, ordinary people want to go to the sky in the 21st century. No matter whether they can get a commercial space ticket or not, the body is also a hurdle that cannot be overcome. But now I didn't expect that a man of science and engineering like Lao Liu, whose physical fitness was not compatible with the previous astronauts, could enter and exit the atmosphere casually.

For Liu Gong, who entered the universe for the first time, everything in front of him was amazing and magnificent, and even at the end of his line of sight, he could see orbital cleaning machines dealing with dangerous orbital debris. The chilling feeling is really exciting.

Baimao had the same mentality when she entered the universe for the first time, but now after she stayed for a long time, looking at these dark and empty universes left only aesthetic fatigue.

In the cabin, there is also very distinctive news about Yang Ma, and there is a three-dimensional picture on the mask of Liu Gong’s spacesuit. The content is very simple, it is to announce the celebration of the victory of this battle, and to commemorate the martyrs who died:

"In order to commemorate and commend the outstanding comrades-in-arms who have performed outstandingly in this battle and made great achievements for the independence and freedom of the people, the central government will publicly hold an excellent commendation meeting for the whole army on August 8, and will award... "

This Pelican is Starship Heavy Industry's exclusive internal vehicle. There is a white Starship Heavy Industry logo on the body, and it does not have any weapons and equipment. The entire body's internal and external module components are used for engineering and research. It can also be replaced at any time according to the task usage.That is to say, Starship Heavy Industries is so arrogant that it directly uses Pelicans, and other units go to orbit to find a ride with the troops. It would be nice to have a Raven transport plane.

Although Starship Heavy Industry has not been established for a long time, it is estimated to be one of the most powerful companies in China, no, in the world, and the only ones that can compete with it are strategic corporate units of the level of China National Nuclear Corporation.There is no way, not to mention the significance of the tasks undertaken, and even the financial resources at their disposal are extremely huge. It is not a joke that the Republic's strategic resources, the Starship Heavy Industry, eat up [-]% to [-]%.

Being able to work in Starship Heavy Industries, even with a staff, is one of the best prospects among young people at present, and not only the material benefits are good, but also a lofty sense of mission to assume the responsibility of all mankind, and the spirit is different.Of course, the work intensity may be a bit high, and now the orbital construction will be carried out on a large scale. Many people estimate that they will have to work in the universe. To be honest, it is quite tiring.

Liu Gong came to the track this time, as a middle-level leader with a technical background to check the progress of the project, collect feedback on various problems and suggestions, and also expressed his condolences. These workers and engineers on the track are excellent backbones. It is said that the details and rules and regulations of track production and construction have been explored.

To some extent, they should be the first batch of ordinary non-military personnel to start formal production and construction tasks outside the earth's atmosphere, and they can be regarded as the predecessors of the next step of interstellar immigration.

This is just a rehearsal, and the orbital construction is the first step for the Republic to truly step into the starry sky, and it is also the first frontier that was taken back from the swarm.In the future, as the war against the Zerg gradually advances, the scale of track construction will gradually expand.

Furthermore, it will be the same for the moon and Mars in the future, where they will be developed.After all, any piece of living land and resources are not given away for phone bills.

At this time, another Pelican also slowly approached the parking area, next to Liu Gong, with standard military emblem painting and navy logo.

At the same time, Liu Gong, who had just packed his things and was about to float out of the cabin, saw a familiar white-haired figure floating out of the cabin lightly and skillfully at almost the same time. Bai Mao also noticed him:

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Liu? Long time no see, you went to heaven too?"

PS: No, Carvin is too serious... The plot in the later period feels very badly handled, it's uncomfortable...

Chapter 247 Star Ring Defense

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Liu? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've gone to heaven too?"

The old Liu in front of him has been gone for a long time, and he probably hasn't seen him since the incident with the Hyacinth. The company is also the boss of Starship Heavy Industries in name, and Starship Heavy Industries is often busy with affairs. , I can often meet Liu Gong. He is also a person who works with companies on a daily basis, and they are fairly familiar with each other.

"Hey, isn't this the president of our company? You haven't been busy recently, have you? When will you come to Liaodong to inspect the work? I was recently transferred to the northeast to be the quality director of the Liao Province. This is why you can't show the boss our work. The quality level of the project. By the way, this dock was built by the Northeast Bureau, and I am here to do this, but I have to show the boss my work spirit."

"That's right, talk well, I don't like this, you will neither get a salary nor a promotion if you flatter me."

There is one thing to say, the company is an honest child, and did not lie to Mr. Liu. These personnel appointments and system management are actually operated by the central government. After all, it can be said that Blue Star is currently the largest and only interstellar industrial system. They are all managed by national-level senior leaders and professional teams.The management level of the three-legged cat in the enterprise is not as good as her fighting skills when she first entered the battlefield, so she can't make do with it.

"How does the company feel about the level of construction?"

Liu Gong winked and joked at the company with a bit of a naughty tone. Today, the fact that the Republic has a "daughter" is not a secret among the upper echelons of the major systems. With the authority and the highest confidentiality limit, the nuclear bomb has become fine without her such confidentiality treatment.Whether they are engaged in scientific research or management, they are not ordinary people in this position, and most of them can guess something.

It's just that the central government has issued documents many times for this, which can be described as "confidentiality awareness", which obviously means something, so it goes without saying, and it is tacitly understood. If you don't ask me or answer, the secrecy will be over.

"It's okay, it should be pretty good."

The enterprise thought about its own hull, and made up its mind about the situation in this dock. It should be pretty good.

There is one thing to say, not to mention the requirements of the shipbuilding industry itself. As far as ships are concerned, super ships that reach a certain size do have to go to space docks. At least when companies are preparing for ground docks, the whole person is very uncomfortable. A feeling of lying on the concrete floor, a hard oppressive feeling, very uncomfortable.Fortunately, there was no such damage to the 004 hull in these few battles. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to stay in the ground dock for several months. The time covered in bandages is indeed a dark history.

"It's fine. Our company is the heart of the central government. If the construction fails to meet the standards, I will inevitably be criticized."

At this time, the enterprise suddenly noticed that besides the corporate logo of Starship Heavy Industries on the chest of his spacesuit, there was a new logo that had never been seen before, a white structure similar to a ring.

"Liu Gong, where did you get a part-time job? There is no such group in our country, don't you still do business outside?"

Liu Gong was a little confused by the question. He looked down and laughed dumbfoundedly: "Boss, what's the matter with you, you don't know about the Star Ring Defense that was just established two months ago? Are you going to Mars?"

"Star Ring Defense?"

"That's right. The foreign arms sales business of Styx Ordnance Industry and Northern Ordnance Industry was spun off to form a new group, which is responsible for foreign arms sales. According to the red head document, the central government believes that the current foreign aid system is already too large. , the main body of these businesses is too scattered, led by Styx and the North, large and small military manufacturers all have this business, and it is more troublesome to manage, so a new system was established to centralize management."
