As a private shipyard in the early human space age, the site of the Galaxy Shipyard is located in the Barnard Star Field, which is only 5.86 light-years away from Earth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Barnard is an M4 star, the second closest star to Earth. The Proxima Centauri field, which is closer to the earth, is not suitable for human beings to build a space city because it is a triple star composed of three stars, so Barnard has become the first extraterrestrial star field developed by human beings, and has been nicknamed - human "living room".

As humanity's first stop into space, Barnard is naturally the go-to location for the Galactic Shipyard. But this is not the target of the Tempest.

Because it is impossible for the Galactic Shipyard to build a warship for NO in the "living room" of the Earth Federation, that would be too rampant.

In fact, the Galaxy Shipyard also has a remote branch where the ships are produced.

GM72, an M5-type star, is located 63.2 light-years from the Rutan Star Field, 52.1 light-years from the Earth, and 48.3 light-years from Barnard.

As an exclusive mining base, GM72 is not too close to Barnard. But according to the laws of the Earth Federation, all star fields within 50 light-years of the heliosphere are state-owned. Then GM72, which is 52.1 light-years away, is actually a very close private mining star field, and only a large enterprise of the size of the Galaxy Shipyard can be allocated one.

Because of the distance, it was too expensive to transport a large number of materials to Barnard for production at 48.3 light years. Therefore, the Galaxy Shipyard established a branch in GM72 to complete the basic frame manufacturing of ships and other links that require a lot of materials. Then, the details that required a lot of manpower, such as hull decoration and decoration, were placed in the Barnard star field, which was very close to the earth.

On the GM72's path to Barnard, from time to time, you can see some ship frames with only the power department installed on them. This kind of spacecraft is not even equipped with a life-sustaining system, and cannot carry people, just like the early unmanned spacecraft to drive autonomously.

There are not many people in the distant GM72, whether it is mining or metalworking, it is an unmanned fully automated factory, only the spaceship frame assembly plant has a small number of skilled workers in charge of the work that cannot be replaced by machines.

In this environment, it is not a big problem for the Galaxy Shipyard to secretly produce warships here, anyway, before the installation of the firepower department, the battleships without detailed decoration and civilian spaceships really don't look much different. Moreover, the structure of the warships developed by NO's own countries is somewhat different from the warships of various countries, and just looking at its skeleton structure is really not reminiscent of a battleship.

And only an organization like Awa-ker that keeps an eye on NO will find clues from some details.

The GM72 branch of the Galaxy Shipyard sends out a few more frame ships each year than the actual ones that arrive in Barnard's field, and the difference is that the warships produced for the NO are diverted to different lanes on the way, and go to other secret processing plants for the finishing touches.

With Awa-Ker's intelligence capabilities, he naturally found this secret processing plant and listed it as a key surveillance target, but in the end, he did not join the target of the Fengyu Galaxy trip.

The Council has also discussed this issue, and the main disagreement is which side to attack. In the end, it was the attack on the GM72 branch of the Galaxy Shipyard that became the mainstream opinion, because this is their most important production base. The later operations carried out by the secret processing plant are not very technical, and even if the factory is destroyed, no can quickly rebuild one.

After selecting a target, the "Tempest" quickly headed for the GM72. At this time last year, the 63.2 light-year voyage would have taken about two months for the Tropical High and a replenishment along the way, whereas now the Tempest would have taken only 20 days.

It is precisely because of the "Tempest" that there is a trip to the galaxy to carry out a key blow to the military industry located in the galaxy.

Like Awa-Ker, the galaxy is the home base of NO, and some of the old political families of the Earth Federation with roots in the old era are also the original initiators of NO. Just as the old business hegemons such as the Rutan Consortium and the Soros Consortium are eager to regain their former market position, some of the careerists of the Earth Federation are eager to rebuild the human core of the planet.

With the gradual development of NO based on the Milky Way, this organization that determines the right to speak in a position of power has absorbed more military, political, industrial and commercial elites from other galaxies, and established a hegemonic organization with the goal of unifying the human world.

If we simply look at the goal of unifying the human world, it is quite a positive ideal. But the problem is that NO can do everything to achieve this goal, and these members have an insatiable desire for power, and the distribution of benefits has also reached the point of scraping the ground.

If NO really rules the world, the political and economic civilization of human society will return to the era of imperialism, and a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises may directly go bankrupt, and the direct competitors of these member consortia will not be able to survive. And with the formation of monopolies, the economic system that lacks competition will become a stagnant pool, which indirectly leads to the stagnation of science and technology.

Although war is very evil and cruel, it must be admitted that war is always the first driving force of human science and technology, and only under the pressure of war can the scientific and technological level of mankind develop so quickly. Even in times of peace, the concept of a cold war has been introduced among the superpowers, imposing a sense of urgency on the civilian population.

Therefore, the unification of all mankind is not a further medicine for mankind, but a chronic poison for extinction. There is always a need for the existence of the state, when survival is no longer the primary contradiction of human society, competition is the root of human progress.

It's a bit far to say this, and Fengyu's age can't consider such a deep level. His reasoning is simple, NO is an evil organization, so it must be eliminated. As one of the core members of NO, the Galaxy Shipyard must focus on cracking down on its GM72 branch.

Nineteen days later, Tempest arrived at GM72, which is located at the right ascension (RA) of the Earth's epoch, with a corner second (dec) of +04°41′36". (Note: Ephemer, right ascension and arc second are a directional system from the earth when observing space, please refer to Baidu for details.) The coordinates can be found in the 50 closest star fields to Earth, including Barnard and Rutan, which are basically located in two diagonals of the Earth's right ascension. The direction of GM72 is fictitious based on the coordinates of Barnard's star, i.e., it continues outward roughly in the same direction as Barnard. ）

After arriving at GM72, Fengyu found that whether it was the Earth Federation or NO, the military force in this was very weak.

Since the fixed wormholes of the Milky Way leading to the other four galaxies are not in this direction, GM72 is the rear of the Earth Federation, and it belongs to the exclusive mining star field of the Galaxy Shipyard, and there is no local garrison fleet at all.

And no thinks that the frame ship delivery method of the Galaxy Shipyard is secret enough, and even the Earth Federation has not been able to find out the catty under his nose, not to mention other countries or organizations, so he has not sent many troops here, just hired a formation-sized private army in the name of the Galaxy Shipyard, whether it is a battleship or a mobile suit, it is an old-fashioned model, and it is not worth mentioning in front of the "Storm" and the "Quasi-Ace Squad".

Even if only 7 AM prototypes were dispatched, and Haifeng's "Fort AM" still had a hand of weapons that could not be used, Fengyu also chose to stay on the "Storm" and never played, and in the end, this battle was still lightly defeated.

For the destruction of the GM72 branch of the Galaxy Shipyard, Fengyu adopted another method - after ordering the factory personnel to evacuate, he directly let the "Storm" carry out shelling.

Because the scale of the shipyard is really not comparable to the scale of the engine or mobile suit factory, the entire industrial chain involves dozens of processing plants and nearly ten space cities, relying on the "quasi-ace team" to destroy a little bit, and it cannot be completed in a week.

Even the "Tempest", which went around in a big circle in GM72 and destroyed all the empty space cities, took a whole day.

After this fight, the losses of the Galaxy Shipyard do not need to be calculated, and they can directly declare bankruptcy and bankruptcy. The scale of this attack has reached the level of war, far exceeding last year's NO's air raid on the Awa-Ker submarine base.

It is believed that when the news reaches Earth, the Earth Federation will be furious and impose the most severe military martial law on the entire galaxy. And no will hurt to the bone marrow, and even launch a second major campaign against Awa-ker in annoyance.

However, Fengyu released all the old ships that used the second-generation jump engine, and before the news was transmitted back to Earth, the "Tempest", which has 1200 times the speed of light, had already returned to GM53 and would not reveal its whereabouts.

As long as the Earth Federation didn't know that the Tempest, which had been transformed into a transport ship, was equipped with a third-generation jump engine, the high-speed destroyer had a perfect alibi. It shouldn't be a problem to return to the New African System via the Taifei WH at that time.
