The times are developing, the shape of war is changing, lightspeed weapons can no longer adapt to the current battlefield shape, and no matter how far the range of the laser cannon is, it is useless to miss the target.

Practice has proved that the effect of light-speed weapons in one light second is the greatest, more than one light second, the hit rate plummets, and the target that hits two light seconds away in actual combat is almost a blind cat hitting a dead mouse or bursting with luck, rather than wasting limited resources on how to increase the power and range of the laser cannon, it is better to honestly reduce the power and range, as long as it is enough.

You must know that cutting the laser cannon is not to save the space of a few guns, the corresponding energy supply system, maintenance system and control system have all been reduced accordingly, and the laser cannon is a large energy consumer, and the battleship no longer needs such a high energy supply level, so that the fusion reactor has been reduced by more than half, which is almost the same as the feeling of the success of the big fat man's weight loss.

The laser cannon, which originally served as the main force, officially took a back seat, and the magnetic missile took the lead in carrying the main weapon.

After cutting a large number of weapons, the interior space of the battleship has been expanded to the maximum, and a large number of missile nests have been placed.

As long as the new warship has a one-tenth hit rate, a battleship can kill a thousand enemy ships or a thousand cosmic creatures, and its combat effectiveness can be called strong.

It is said that in the process of designing the new warship, there was an extreme argument that other weapons would be completely eliminated and only magnetic missiles would be prepared. It even became the mainstream design idea for a time, but the opponent of the battleship will not always be the battleship, and the ability to attack the ground or deal with small aircraft cannot be without, so the design scheme has been compromised.

Don't look at the improvement plan that took almost two months to complete, but the relevant preparations have been carried out long after the base star has been put in order, and a large number of resources have been deployed to the base star to start building the gravitational engine, reactor, battleship armor, core area and other standard parts that must be used.

In the space of two months, the powerful robot construction army hoarded a large number of battleship parts, and after the design plan was officially announced, the mechanical army immediately began to assemble it. A variety of materials are transported to the dock like a stream of water. Under the efforts of countless robots day and night, the battleships gathered into a tower of sand, and gradually took shape in the attention of everyone.

In mid-May 2222, the first batch of 26 Ares-class Type C warships rolled off the assembly line.

Ye Fei, who had been looking forward to this day for a long time, rushed back to the base star a few days in advance, and ran to Xu Shijie's office to plead: "Chief." This batch of warships must be given to us first. I now have only eight battleships left. It's simply a bare-bones commander, if you don't give me a battleship again, in case the Shang clan comes out again. What do I take to fight? ”

Xu Shijie nodded quietly: "Don't worry, I have this consideration." "The solar system is the only galaxy that has been exposed to the Shang people, and there is indeed a danger that the Shang people will attack again.

Moreover, the solar system is currently one of the most important raw material bases of the Republic - although the minerals on the earth have been almost dug up, there is still Mars!

Not only Mars, but also the army of cyborg people entered the far side of Mercury before the Shang clan tore their faces, and the mineral deposits there far exceeded that of Earth, and it was a completely untapped treasure!

The discovery of Mercury has made the military pay more attention to Venus, which is very similar to the Earth, and has already carried out artificial intervention in the atmosphere of Venus.

If it weren't for the strange rotation of Venus, maybe the military would follow the Martian model and build Venus into a colony star.

Ye Fei, who had received a clear reply, was satisfied, so he stayed at the base star and waited to receive the battleship.

However, without waiting for the battleship to go offline, Zhao Yongjiang also ran back to the base star, and also rushed to Xu Shijie to ask for the battleship, Ye Fei, who received the news, immediately rushed to the Ministry of Defense, and when he ran to the door of Xu Shijie's office, he happened to hear Zhao Yongjiang say inside: "There are only twelve warships left in my fleet, and we can't even make up a fleet, but we are guarding the blue light star, the transportation hub of the base star, what if there is a case?" ”

"!" Ye Fei couldn't help but break into the office and scolded angrily, "How many warships can you use to guard a few portals?" The Shang people don't know where the blue light star is, what are you anxious about? Let's honestly wait for the next time. ”

"Hey, familiar to familiar, it's not right for you to say that." Zhao Yongjiang glared and said, "If I hadn't rushed over with the fleet in time, you wouldn't even have eight battleships left, maybe the solar system would have been lost, shouldn't the battleships be given to me first?" ”

"Stop!" Ye Fei refused with a face, "First, if there is an abnormal situation in the solar system, it is a person who should immediately support you, you just did what you had to do; Second, you also know that the solar system was almost lost, if you don't give me the battleship, in case the Shang clan kills back, what will you do to support me this time? Because there are not enough battleships, who is it to lose the solar system? Therefore, it is most appropriate to give me all the new ships. ”

Zhao Yongjiang made a slip of the tongue for a while, and was actually surrounded by Ye Fei, but he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately retorted: "Of course I support you like last time, haven't you heard that all eggs can't be put in one basket?" You're really good enough, open your mouth and give it all to you, and I'll blush for you......"

"Pull it down, I don't need you to replace it." Ye Fei flatly refused, "This point of battleships is not enough for the two fleets, and there is a gap of more than a dozen ships for me, if I don't lack people, I will have fewer warships, what can I do?" ”

"Yo, you're embarrassed to say that there are fewer people in my hands if you have someone?" Zhao Yongjiang pursed his lips disdainfully.

In more than two months, the list of sacrifices has long been cleared out, and the relevant departments have already started to carry out stem cell cloning, some of the cloned people have been in place, and the rest will be completed in a short time.

Because the number of operators of the new ships has been greatly reduced, even if the crews of the surviving eight battleships are scattered among the twenty-six warships, they can all drive these warships, not to mention some clones who have returned to the fleet?

"How many people do you have to do with me?" Ye Fei rolled his eyes, looking like a bachelor.

"I didn't bother to say it because you brought it up first!" Zhao Yongjiang said angrily.

"That's it!" Xu Shijie said unhurriedly, "I don't have to say how the new warships will be distributed alone, whether they will be all distributed in one fleet or evenly distributed will have to be studied again, you two will give me a little pause." (To be continued......)
