1122 The aftermath is still unsettled

Back in the solar system, the qiē on the third planet seems to be suddenly gone, and the distant distance in space seems to turn the qiē into a real dream.

However, this is only the appearance, in fact, if the impact of this chain accident is an undercurrent, it has been quietly brewing and fermenting under the quiet surface, and the first thing is the military aspect.

The military department has made drastic and all-round improvements to the problems exposed in the battle, starting with the cancellation of the established plan for equipping semi-biological warships.

If it was not a half-biological warship that went to the Crab Star Domain to carry out reconnaissance missions, but an ordinary warship, then it would never fall to the point where two warships crashed in the confrontation with the zombie snake, so the military learned from the pain and completely abandoned the plan to develop a semi-biological warship.

There are originally two different voices within the military on the use of semi-biological warships, and the main reason for agreeing with the use of semi-biological warships is that this kind of warship has a short construction period, low cost, flexible operation, and much simpler maintenance than ordinary warships.

However, although human beings have a certain development in biotechnology, but the old foundation of the beginning is still mechanical technology after all, in the face of biological civilization, human technology is tantamount to an axe, even if there is no problem when scouting the crab clan this time, it will definitely have an accident in the future when confronting other biological civilizations.

Instead of suffering unbearable losses at that time, it is better to endure the pain now!

Anyway, the brainwave control technology has been developed very well, even without the support of a biological computer, it can work well in a mechanical battleship, the only pity is that the function of the magnetic engine is still much worse than that of a semi-biological battleship.

The military is no longer equipped with half-biological warships. The development of a new type of warship was put on the agenda, and the military put forward several requirements for this: first, the new ship must adopt a traditional purely mechanical structure; Second, the brainwave control system must be used; The third is to reduce the number of operators on the ship as much as possible.

This time, the military is determined to do it in one step and directly replace the new warships for each fleet, instead of replacing them with the Ares class.

In peacetime, it is not surprising that a type of warship can be used for thirty or fifty years, but non-stop war is like a catalyst for military technology, and the warships that are known as the crystallization of human heavy industry have to be replaced every few years, and the speed of warship replacement is about to catch up.

The design of the new capital ship could not be completed in a day or two, and Ye Fei could only continue to guard the solar system with the only eight remaining warships.

Another major improvement project is the re-establishment of an aircraft carrier battle group with space carriers and carrier-based aviation forces as the core!

The fighter shined in the battle against the Shang clan and attracted great attention from the military. A space carrier that relies on warplanes to fight. The structure is much simpler than that of the capital ship, because there is no need to directly participate in the battle, the armor of the space carrier is not as thick and heavy as the capital ship, and the mass is about one-third lower than that of the capital ship in the same volume. Even if you add all there are fighters. Its cost is also lower than that of the capital ship.

The only head-scratching issue is staffing.

At the moment, there are fewer and fewer personnel on the capital ship. The number of personnel required for a space carrier is several times that of the capital ship, and it is not enough to put 1,000 people on a space carrier, and it is barely enough to allocate 2,000 people.

Space carriers alone are not enough. Qualified pilots are even more important.

At present, the military has a large number of pilots, but many of them have changed their careers to flying mechas, and some have simply been admitted to the command major and returned to the furnace for further study, and in a few years they have become the captain of a ship, and there are really not many real and pure pilots left.

However, this is also easy to do, and in addition to immediately starting to train new pilots, the most effective means is to draw the original pilots from various units and reorganize the general framework of the air force.

Space carriers cannot act alone, in addition to the battleship itself and the aviation on board, it is more important to allocate a reasonable number of escort warships to the formation.

This problem is relatively easy to solve, a space carrier with two Ares class, usually gathered together, in some cases, it will immediately disperse into eighteen warships of various types, against a large group of enemy forces may not be possible, but there is absolutely no problem in covering the carrier ship.

The military plans to put this fleet into the battlefield as the main force against the Shang clan after the space carrier battle group has formed a combat capability, which will be enough for the Shang clan to drink a pot of time.

However, it is still unknown whether space carriers can be used in other directions, and the military tends to only establish an aircraft carrier battle group for the time being, to test the return of the Shang clan, and if necessary, it is not too late to form a second aircraft carrier battle group.

It's easy to pull eggs when the steps are big, and the military has obviously learned a lesson this time and is much more cautious than before.

The military has two completely different plans for this, one is to design a new type of fighter with the ability to fly faster than the speed of light, and the advantage of this plan is that it can make full use of the latest military technology.

The other option is to comprehensively improve the relatively mature J-447, which has the advantage of shortening the research and development time and forming combat effectiveness as much as possible.

In either case, heavy fighters are used, and in addition to these two schemes, there are also proposals to improve the flying mecha and match the usual high and low with heavy fighters.

Not only will the military have to rebuild the aircraft carrier battle group, but the capital ships will also have to be re-equipped with a certain number of fighters in order to cope with special situations in battle.

At the beginning of March 2222, after nearly two months of continuous high-intensity work, the design department finally came up with a design plan for the new warship, which was approved by the military in just a few days and officially entered the production stage.

The reason why the design work was completed in such a short time was that the new warship was still an improved version of the Ares class.

The new warship with the brainwave control system only needs a dozen people to be fully controlled, and the design of the decomposition warship is retained, but there are only two air supremacy firepower ships and two assault ships, and all the sub-ships are unmanned warships operated by remote control.

To this end, several additional personnel have been assigned to operate the sub-ship, bringing the total number of personnel to more than 20, and if the military requires that the new ship must be equipped with a certain number of fighters, the number will be further increased.

In addition to the personnel changes, the biggest change of the new ship is the elimination of flashy suspended armor, and the number of laser cannons on the ship has been greatly reduced, the main body of the battleship and the four sub-ships combined, there are only six laser cannons in total, and they are only two main guns with a range of two light seconds.
