People's Federation will live forever

"Activate the emergency mobile nozzle, and focus all ignition forces forward. Don't let these things threaten the Eternal City!"

The belly of the Dongfang Mountain was lit up for a moment, and it pushed the giant ship away from the origin by 0.5 angle to cancel the collision warning.A plurality of small beam cannons popped up from the belly of the battleship, which is the same standard as that used by the Guards. The infrared focused laser searchlights of these small things continue to follow the space junk. As the distance reaches a hundred kilometers away, the laser light has formed a fan shape. The wreckage envelops it and dissolves and vaporizes.

An indescribable mood enveloped all the audience. This is not only a performance, but also a test of the people's space combat capabilities.Delays in the situation prevented the battleship from destroying all the targets as planned. The Dusk-class sailing at full speed could not slow down at 588 kilometers, and could only return after a big bend of tens of thousands of kilometers. Steering inertia can tear it apart.And even destroying the target at a very close range is not the goal, so this is a complete failure.

It took more than a day to prepare, and within a few seconds of the end, two rounds of gunfire were fired... Li Zhi connected to the channel, announced the end of the exercise in advance and sent greetings to the fleet: "Thank you for your efforts. This failure is not your responsibility. The port is open. Please go home safely."

After speaking, Li Wei turned around, facing a group of expressive congressmen.

"Everyone, what do you think?" He greeted everyone, then moved the seat into a circle, and sat up in the holographic image himself, "The exercise is to find out the problem, the sooner it is solved, the better for us responsible for the future."

"We originally thought that we could fight a space war with spaceships and weapons. We were too naive."

The Consul Anya spoke first—"I have been out of the army for too long, and I am not an expert. But equipment determines tactics. We thought that with laser weapons like the Hammer of Dawn, we could eliminate them at long distances at the speed of light, but they have no hit rate. has no meaning?"

"The hit rate depends on three points. The first is reconnaissance. How many decimal places can the accuracy of sight and sight be converted to? The second is ballistic calculation. I think our computer can afford it. And the third is the rotation control of the turret. The distance of space battles is hundreds of thousands of kilometers, can the smallest unit of movement reach the micron level?"

Admiral Milan made a supplement, and soon more opinions were thrown out - "The importance of warship maneuverability is no less than speed. If we assume that the engagement distance is 1000 kilometers, the Dusk class will rush across the battlefield in five seconds! What's the point of only firing two shots like today?"

"It is necessary to improve the maneuverability of the ship. After entering into contact with the enemy, it should maintain an arc maneuver to maintain the distance between the enemy and the enemy, and form a battle line to continuously output firepower. The sailing speed in this process needs to be freely adjusted within a range.. .”

"How is this possible? Could it be that an engine is installed in front of the boat? A large deceleration during driving will break the boat!"

There was a lot of discussion on the topic, and after a while, someone finally couldn't help questioning: "These are obvious things, and it is impossible for you, the leader, to be unaware. You must have a deeper purpose for deliberately arranging such an obviously hasty exercise full of loopholes." Bar?"

Then—"I guess, these leaders, you and the Ministry of Industry and Research have already found a solution?"

Everyone looked at Li Wei, the tense atmosphere eased, and there was expectation in everyone's eyes.Li Wei couldn't help but pull his face: "Why do you say I have a solution? It's also the first time I've seen a real space battle."

Everyone booed, and Anya simply joked: "Because you are the foundation of the People's Federation, a quantum life body with unlimited computing power? These things have specific parameters, and you can easily calculate the results. Even if it is a discussion, it would have It's the military staff who should do it."

Anya smiled, with a kind of bright spring, but with the cunning of a fox: "We specially arranged to visit to let us get rid of illusions, understand the difficulties of space warfare, and have a clear understanding of our own strength."

What a terrible woman, Li Ming knew why Marcus ran outside with him without any complaints, did Marcus suffer a lot after they got married?

After being exposed, he no longer concealed it: "Yes, arranging such an exercise is to expose the weakness of the fleet under the worst conditions, and at the same time keep everyone in high positions awake-it's easy to talk about it, but I hope that after recognizing the reality, In the future, your decision-making can be as close to reality as possible.”

The credibility of the words spoken after being exposed by others has somewhat decreased. In desperation, Li Zhi threw out the solution for the summary just now:

"The new ships are still under construction. They are also Twilight-class, but they are mainly for design improvement. We plan to build a fleet system consisting of 16 Twilight-class ships as the main force, mixed with auxiliary ships. My requirements for them It is capable of conducting full-fledged deep space operations and, if necessary, beyond the home system.

For this reason, the Silver Fortress on the moon will be changed to our Fleet Academy, where the research of fleet combat will also be carried out. "

It was the first time I heard Li Zhi talk about the construction of the fleet. Most of it was a reasonable arrangement as expected, but the sentence "beyond this galaxy? Can this be done with our technology?"

"can!"

A voice answered this question, his tone was decisive, and no one would question it.

Ensig, who hadn't spoken for a long time, went online again. He raised his hand and raised two fingers—"Not only there are, but there are more than one kind."

"Two types?" They were puzzled, "If it's a wormhole, then I understand, what is the second type?"

What is it to ask?That's the body on the moon, and it brings us not only some revelations, but also tangible benefits, and that's element zero.

After research, the Ministry of Industry and Research found that element zero is a natural element with a very long decay period. This element may exist in any planet, but it is the product of supernova explosion just like gold, and it is much less.

The closer to the supernova explosion, the earlier the area will be more, and Sira does not belong to this environment, which means that if the People's Federation wants to obtain more zero elements, it must go to the distant starry sky, because we are only a 1.3-level civilization, basic science not enough.

But, now there is an opportunity, under the blessing of fate, we are so lucky, a key to open the gate of the second level civilization was sent to us.

Is it appropriate to start running before learning to walk?

There are some things that can only be said clearly between Li Wei and En Sige - that is, there is nothing inappropriate, progress is a one-way street, and there is no reason to give up the opportunity in front of you.

"The stars and the sea, how far away."

PS: Leap-forward technological development, is it really good? If the previous foundation is not laid well, will it really not be crooked?

Chapter 120 Seven We Will Not Let Down

Joy is different from person to person.

Some people, they stand at the forefront of human beings, living in the starry sky and swearing at each other. In the debate of words, they set the direction of the way forward for the entire human race.What a height that is, ordinary people like myself can't even look up!Like the gods, they came to this world. Maybe they didn't have this purpose, but just showing a little kindness changed the fate of many people, even life and death.

And some people, like themselves, lying on the hospital bed with their hands and feet fixed by instruments, are in the recovery period after surgery.I can't move, I don't know what happened, and I don't know what the future holds.I should be happy that I survived the catastrophe, but Lieutenant Colonel Ratolova didn't know how to express the information I got these days.

This is a hospital, but not a bed in a clammy concrete room.Looking around the entire room, she was alone in the empty space. She had never seen the pattern here before. For the first time, she saw that the lights were emitted from the walls instead of bulbs. The light illuminated the entire space softly without leaving any shadows. Those white walls The surface and floor are warm, and to the touch... how should I put it, it seems to be elastic.

I have never seen such a room, and the equipment connected to the hospital bed... The lieutenant colonel remembered that he was transferred here covered in blood, and then he was fixed on the pillar, and the arm of the machine was hanging from the ceiling.There is not even a nurse, anesthesia, disinfection, incision of the wound to remove foreign objects, correction of broken bones are all done by machines.The lieutenant colonel suppressed his drowsiness and took a look, but was so frightened that he passed out on the spot—slender metal probes struck her bones like a sewing machine, the muscles and blood vessels were clearly visible, and she saw where her bones were broken. Sanded down, then filled with white metal... This was the last thing she saw, whatever it was, her body was no longer pure flesh and blood.

Dazzling high-tech brings shock first, which may be the display of Renlian's straightforward style.And the female doctor who came to examine her before——Aisha?She is a gentle person, through a headset called a translator, she told herself that she was under the protection of the People's Federation. From then on, she knew that there was no such thing as 9527, but a powerful organization called the People's Federation came across the star sea. to earth.

They are human beings, and they have reached a cooperation agreement with their motherland-all this makes sense, about the many changes in the rumors, and everything she has experienced makes her have to accept this reality.

what else?Her own life is in the hands of the other party, and the past life made her vigilant: there is no free lunch in this world, what do they want from themselves?Maybe it's not over yet, and soon they'll have a showdown, when...the man.

"Click", the fixed instrument is turned on, and the daily rehabilitation diagnosis is over.Ratolova lifted up the light and gauzy hospital gown and checked the original broken arm - they transplanted artificial skin for themselves, and it was perfect after recovery.And a holographic figure popped up beside the bed and explained the diagnosis result to her. Now she knows that this is a VI, that is, the management software of computer programming. If you stay here for a few days, you should not learn too many new things. The lieutenant colonel believes in herself. No more surprised looks.

But—"Patient Fikatia Ratolova, you have a visitor, Major General Kanifik, commander of the Guards."

Before she could react, the cabin door of the ward opened, and a solemn man appeared at the door stepping on military steps, his eyes collided with the half-undressed lieutenant colonel——

"General Carnifik, I don't care how important you are. This is the hospital, not your headquarters. No matter how much authority you have, you can't...huh?"

The attending doctor Aisha ran over angrily, but saw the slightly embarrassed guard commander exiting the door.He pressed the military cap on his head, waited a while, covered his eyes with his hands and coughed:

"Commander Garr, I have something to talk to you about."

In the room, Lieutenant Colonel Ratolova pulled up his clothes, jumped out of the hospital bed like a conditioned reflex, and quickly saluted a Soviet-style military salute. He raised his head and reported loudly in a Russian-specific tone: "Comrade Major General, guard of the Gal Tactical Aircraft Squad, Fikagia..."

"Don't be serious, this is a hospital."

Kanifik made a silent gesture, and then walked in the door—a man and a woman were alone in a room, and Dr. Aisha stomped her feet and hurried to the control room. Although it was unlikely, she didn't want to see anything bad thing.

Will something bad happen?

The lieutenant colonel tried his best to put on a serious look, but the room was so big, I don't know if it was an illusion, the other party's body temperature and breathing seemed to be right next to him.She didn't know the general yet, but there was one idea that stuck in her mind.

He's coming to take what he wants, what will it be?

---

Petropavlovsko is a typical Eastern European style city, with a small amount of modern buildings mixed in, forming a sharp contrast between tradition and modernity.This not-so-old Siberia's largest city once became the focus of the world... No, it is also the focus of the world now.

Because of the war, the city has been under martial law for a long time. The sky is a no-fly zone, and anti-aircraft missiles are deliberately placed in eye-catching positions. There are checkpoints set up by soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wearing brown coats and blue hats at the street corners. People check one by one.They are armed with live ammunition, making it impossible for outsiders to understand what happened here. They seem to be more defensive than betas.However, these soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually didn't know it themselves, but because of the particularity of their work, they had long learned to keep silent.

After all, in the city, there is another group of soldiers wearing shell-type exoskeleton armor, some scenes that are not suitable for being seen from the outside.In the city center, the commercial district in the past has not only ceased operation, but was also quickly demolished to create a large area of ​​open space to build a "Civil Affairs Center".All the people staying here in charge of management are guard soldiers. As the atmosphere in the urban area gradually eased over time, the People's Federation started its next step here - resident ID verification.

Benjamin Carmine yawned, and looked at the long queue in front of the gate of the Civil Affairs Center with some boredom.There are men and women, and people with families gather here, making the guards who maintain order have big heads.

How should I tell these people that the machine at the gate only recognizes the number plate issued before to open the gate, and the closer you squeeze, the more you can get in the queue?The number has the processing date written, can you go home and wait?Hey, that kid, you are not allowed to jump in line, let alone squeeze women and children aisles, do you have any qualities!

That aunt, the voice management VI at the door is artificially retarded, don’t talk to it, it can’t answer you where your children and grandchildren have gone, can you go to the police station to get someone?The one wearing the cross, the People's Federation prohibits any form of preaching in public places, give me claws!

Stealers, women groping, drones in the sky tagging vigilantes at all times.They had nowhere to hide under the eyes of the sky. Carmin glanced at the signal on the mask, strode into the crowd and picked up a boy with messy hair—the man wanted to escape, but Carmin's physique and exoskeleton easily grabbed him. He dragged him out by his collar, returned the stolen goods to the old man, and stopped the anger of the crowd to protect the little thief to the sidelines.

"It's you again, how many times is this the first time? You don't remember to fight, I tell you that you are on the list, get ready to go to labor education before applying for ID!"

Carmine was furious, but stopped as soon as he clenched his fists—the expeditionary army rules, it is not allowed to beat and scold the locals, and the honor and discipline of the soldiers must be maintained.

The comrades on the side tutted out: "Look at this scene, Jia Xintu was not so chaotic back then, but the scene was not so big."

There are many complaints: "I'm hoarse with a loudspeaker, so I wrote a program to speak for me automatically...but they just don't listen!"

"Let me tell you, we can't scare them with a shield in our hands. Do you know the crowd effect? ​​Without effective intimidation, they will never be able to realize it." Someone said on the radio, "Hold the gun in your hand and lean on it like this." Shoulder, make sure they line up honestly!"

"Why is it our turn to do this job? There are so many local troops outside, call some to help!"

Suddenly, a burly figure walked over quickly, scaring them to stand at attention—it was Sergeant Clayton Carmine, and he scolded his younger brother: "Floating, because the locals are ignorant." Bored and don't want to do this thing?"

"You still call the local army? That's a bunch of bastards! You can't fight, and you can bully the people. Let us come here to protect the civilians. Aren't you happy?"

The locals have had enough suffering and don't need someone to dominate them.Setting such strict rules is not only to establish the image of the People's Federation, but also to remember that the guards are established for protection, and their style of work must be good, so that the common people will change their fear of the army in the past.

"These civilians are living in a chaotic era. The lack of education is definitely not high, but don't forget that we were all equally sloppy ten years ago. What are your advantages?"

But, some things can't be helped.For these locals, the People's Federation cannot be managed with advanced technology, and they cannot accept it. Although such a clumsy method is troublesome, as long as they are careful, it will be as expected.

Looking back, these civilians are actually still full of fear of the unknown fate, but they have nothing and have to passively accept the arrangement in order to survive.Here you can see what life is all about. A thousand people have a thousand faces. For them, they come here because they heard that they can be assigned a job after obtaining a certificate.

What a humble wish... In contrast, the commoners of Sira are happily discussing how to devote themselves to their future career to do something big. They are all human beings, why is there such a big gap?

Clayton Carmine reached out and touched the emblem of the star ring and silver wings on his chest, but said nothing.

Peace comes from strength, and we will not fail.

Chapter 120: Where is the sacred place?

"From the beginning, I thought that battleships and spaceships should not be rectangular anyway!"

In the chat group, Engineer A threw a blockbuster as soon as he went online, which attracted the crowds of everyone in the group to watch-"This is using the idea of ​​​​a surface ship to set up a spaceship, but space is a three-dimensional space. Considering fluid mechanics and making it into an iron box is a manifestation of the designer's thinking lag!"

"Criticize anyone." The administrator fired. "Come out with a plan. If you can, you can do it. If you can't, shut up."

However, he did not expect that the engineer immediately uploaded a set of modeling, which displayed a variety of spaceship designs, most of which were vertical crescent boomerangs: "To solve the problem of maneuverability, that is, to turn, we must reduce The length of the hull increases the number of engines deployed. Several engines can be installed vertically or horizontally along the width, and the narrow-side structure will not break the keel due to excessive stress even if it performs a sharp steering maneuver, and its reliability is far better than that of a rectangle!"

The rebuttal also came as promised: "To put it bluntly, you have shortened the length but increased the height, and the space inside the ship has also been compressed to accommodate the engine. The output is large, but is the reactor enough? Use this space to reinstall it. What about a reactor, life support systems and storage space?"

"These are things that can be optimized, and they can be solved when the fusion engine is miniaturized and the cold fusion test is successful."

"How are the weapons arranged?"

"I calculated that the deployment on the two wings can accommodate two dual-linked laser guns, one more than the Dusk class."

"Railgun, missiles? You don't have enough room here."

"Why do you want those? Lasers are king in space warfare, and slow shells and missiles should be thrown into the museum."

"Don't talk about it, the Ministry of Industry and Research has already discussed it." Soon, the management rolled up his sleeves himself, "Only actual combat can test the results. What weapons are useful and what kind of warships should be decided by the serving soldiers. And Do you know why battleships are still rectangular?"

Because of the comprehensive consideration of industrial standards, star port space and maximizing the use of space in the ship, each of them is indispensable, and the People's Federation does not insist on one standard.However, the consideration of this vertical design to enhance mobility is said to have been widely raised in the demonstration of space fighters.

The debate seems to be coming to an end, but when it comes to space fighters?

"Why do you need professional fighter jets in space? Do you want to be an aircraft carrier?"

"What's the use of an aircraft carrier? I thought it was the navy on the curved surface of the planet, can it use aircraft to make a big difference?"

"Not to mention that high-performance computers and radars can easily lock on, and the speed of small aircraft cannot cope with the distance of thousands of kilometers. Even if there is a close-range firefight, I think it is the faster maneuvering of the aircraft or the faster anti-rotation of the laser point."

The BB parties were discussing enthusiastically, and a small number of aircraft carrier parties fought back, talking about "stealth raid" and "what if the radar fails". Torture - "Is your job done?"

Ah, the Internet is beautiful, but the reality is full of work—the engineer withdraws from the VR despondently, looking at the busy construction site outside the heater, those rough chants are mixed with the roar of construction machinery, gathering Into an industrial melody that is completely different from Syrah.

Siegfried, you bastard!

People's Federation has done what it says, since Siegfried proposed to "accommodate the local conditions, build industries that can accommodate most of the labor force, and are relatively backward in the Sylla technology system, so as to ensure employment and stability, and at the same time pave the way for the People's Federation's home plan" After the resolution was passed, the Ministry of Industry and Research almost suffered a disaster.Not only was it a failure in the struggle on the route, but more importantly——

The blueprints and plans we drew before are all sealed up, and we have to start the deduction again.Those who think that it should be easier to use lesser, fully mastered technologies, they must think about how much work can be done in the phrase "adapting measures to local conditions", which means how much work is involved.

The current population of polar bears is about 1000 million, but the People's Federation does not know all of them.The territory is West Siberia and Kamchatka Peninsula, as well as the half of Alaska that you can see on the leased sister, but not all places can be industrialized, such as North America, it is absolutely impossible-I heard that the situation there is unstable, Yankee Flicking will-o'-the-wisps with Russian dissatisfaction, just because the United Front is going to pull some people who have been transferred to Alaska back to Kamchatka for construction...you can imagine what will happen.

The black hand is mobilizing the backbone and the former polar bear internal affairs organization to plan a purge, but it is still unknown how strong the force will bring back, so the united front will focus on the 500 million people in Kamchatka.

500 million people, the war with beta has changed the population structure, the old, weak, sick and disabled have long been abandoned, and the average age of the population is now 32 years old.Young and middle-aged people mean the labor force, and 100 million of them are in the army, and 100 million children who are not suitable for work are excluded. The Ministry of Industry and Research must make clear arrangements for 300 million people.

Then the problem came again, today's polar bears can't be self-sufficient at all, they lost 90.00% of their land, lost all of Central Asia and Europe.Lost the food in Ukraine, lost the smelting center under the Ural Mountains, lost the mines in Kazakhstan and Belarus, and also changed from the country with the highest oil and gas production in the world to an importer!

What's going on, Siberia is said to be an inexhaustible treasure house?

Because they lost their industrial centers and most of their population, they simply didn't have the ability to build.Siberia's energy is buried in the permafrost, not to mention environmental damage, the entire earth has no mining technology, so the only thing they can do is watch the beta encroach on the world and retreat to the Bering Strait step by step.

Construction is impossible. We can only use the R&D center that only exists in Alaska to make some monkey version tactical aircraft and sell them at a high price to the big customer in South Asia, friends on the defense front in Southeast Asia, and the Suez Canal front in exchange for some scarce foreign exchange and food. , oil, and go to the Western camp to buy some industrial products to maintain the appearance of life.When I arrived in Alaska, although I had to see my sister's face every day, the cola and hamburgers were so delicious...

"A bunch of trash!"

I heard that Director Pompeii, who got the statistical report, saw the messy data and was incompetent and furious in the office for several minutes. Siegfried, who knew it earlier than him, went to comfort him—although he was scolded again , but at least the two departments of civil affairs and industry have begun to lead cooperation.

The world is like a game of chess, and all we can master are pieces on the chessboard—first, Li Li turned back to Xila to start economic reforms, established the monetary basis of credit points, and then moved to the unified The Front received 3000 billion low-interest loans, allowing the United Front led by Siegfried to purchase scarce food and industrial raw materials from Sylla.

The Ministry of Industry and Research has been ordered to help the predetermined provinces and regions of the earth to establish 60 large projects, involving 210 industrial categories, covering agriculture, people's livelihood, military industry, etc.But this is not free, because those who come to build these are all approved to get loans. People's Federation citizens who have just started their own businesses, Li Zhi wants them to play the role of integrating local people, so that Renlian's tentacles can penetrate into every aspect of the earth as soon as possible .

And how to repay this loan?

"I don't want them to pay back the money. If necessary, I can give more."

On Sira, Li Li said to Michael in this way, his hand was pressed on a globe, and his face was full of spring breeze: "I want them, give me back a globe."
