"Ah, yes." Lin Hai, who was about to walk out of the Kane laboratory and prepare to receive the new ship, suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back, "I almost forgot." We talked about it before, drone carriers, and there is no answer from you. ”

"There are so many things that I've almost forgotten." Kane replied, "But I've said it before, and space carriers are something like chicken ribs for us at the moment. I know you only had this idea after seeing the Sjing Planetary Assault Mothership, and our old Kodiak-class battle cruisers also have the ability to carry four squadrons of space fighters, so you want to directly develop a pure space carrier, weaken the heavy firepower, and leave most of the tonnage and space for the hangar to carry more carrier-based aircraft. But one thing, under the premise of all our current level of technology, is the role of the aircraft carrier as high as you expect? ”

"I think there should still be something usable, you also said, the current capital ship of the Sijing people is the planetary assault mothership, even in the face of being suppressed by us, the planetary assault carrier still maintains the carrier-based aircraft, instead of removing the carrier-based aircraft, leaving space for other equipment, seeing that they insist on the existence of carrier-based aircraft, I think we can also learn from their design, at least the use of a large number of UAVs can reduce some of our warships to waste their main energy on air defense."

"That's the case, but you also know that in drone technology, especially in drone intelligence technology, we are limited by the anti-advanced AI regulations, so that the performance of our drones is not as good as the same type of products of Sijing people, not to mention what air supremacy is fighting for, it is very difficult to even contain it, not to mention that such a large number is needed."

"I naturally understand this, and I even specifically inquired with veteran space warfare experts like Towin and others, knowing that in another time and space, the Global Defense Force does not have a special space aircraft carrier, because at that time, all your space capital ships had the ability to carry a lot of space fighters, so you were not in a hurry to need a more professional space aircraft carrier at that time. In addition, compared with those 'aviation battleships' that have independent combat capabilities, pure and professional aircraft carriers are also more and more fragile, in the multi-dimensional environment of space, the fleet needs to be vigilant in a wider range, and the distance between the ships is also widened, once the fleet is attacked, it is difficult for other frigates to completely resist the enemy's blows without damaging the aircraft carrier, so you have not considered developing a professional aircraft carrier for the time being. ”

"Look, you've figured it out yourself, and you're asking me why you're asking me?" Kane spread his hands and said helplessly, "I've finished talking to you about it, if it's nothing important, I think you should return to Earth to continue the war." ”

"I mean, the situation we're facing now isn't quite the same as what you're facing on that plane, so can your original theories continue to be used in this environment?" Lin Hai defended, "You know that I was born in this time and space, and in this era, the supremacy of the sea is the aircraft carrier, so I am naturally very interested in and attach great importance to this kind of ship. ”

"So be it......" Kane touched his big bald head, thought for a moment, and replied, "If you insist, when you're done with this, or you can destroy the new supercarrier of the Sijing people, or you can suppress the further expansion of the Sijing people in space and on the ground, I will build you a professional space aircraft carrier for you to test if your idea can work." Maybe you're right, maybe you're not, but we don't really have much experience in this area, so let's just let practice do the trick. But now, even if you're right, we really don't have much energy to start a big project. Unlike Chuantuo-class frigates, professional space carriers require more time and resources to reprocess regardless of design time and manufacturing time, as well as the cost of manufacturing resources and dedicated production lines, and now we just don't have this time and resources. ”

"I see." Lin Hai nodded, he didn't have to ask Kane to come up with any results immediately, he just wanted to hear some helpful information from the mouth of the smartest scientist in his subordinates, since Kane had said this, then he wouldn't continue to waste everyone's time, not to mention that if he really met Kane's three requirements, then after the battlefield situation improved, they would really have extra time and resources to study some other things.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

When he came, in order to be in a hurry, Lin Hai directly took a high-speed shuttle, threw off the fleet and flew to the moon base. Now that he had completed what he had to do on the moon base, the Sea Behemoth-class heavy cruiser "Leviathan", which he used as his flagship, also flew to the moon later, only waiting for the eight ships, including the newly completed Chuantuo-class missile frigates, to return to far-earth orbit.

Of course, at this time, Lin Hai will not finish the previous work - staring at the operation of Liu Yan's troops on the ground, which will be completed by other fleets - he will take these eight new ships to the British Isles for testing to see if Kane's new interceptor missiles and new ships are as useful as Kane said.

Once the tests are satisfactory, then a greater number of Chuantuo-class frigates will fill every formation of the GDI space fleet to strengthen the human space fleet.

Although the Chuantuo class is the smallest warship in the GDI fleet, it is easier to build, cheaper, and requires fewer crews, which will also allow the GDI space fleet to increase in size without much change in staffing - of course, combat effectiveness is also important, and Lin Hai is doing this for this purpose.

"With only one 230 mm caliber railgun, even if it is 70 times the diameter, it is still too firepower to face a larger first-class battleship." Looking at the eight frigates with only numbers but no ship names surrounding the "Leviathan" on the bridge display, Rear Admiral Tagate GDI (Colonel of the Global Defense Force) shook his head, looked at Lin Hai and said, "Although Dr. Kane has prepared hundreds of missile launchers for them, but now we and the Sijing people have strong anti-aircraft firepower, even if they are fully launched, it is difficult to say how many missiles can be successfully hit, and it is even more difficult to say whether a small number of missiles can break through the anti-aircraft fire network." ”

"Dr. Kane believes that his new ablative armor will allow his new missile to survive longer, thereby increasing the chances of breaking through the anti-aircraft fire net." Lin Hai, who was holding the data to process official business, said without raising his head, and the trip to and from the lunar base added a lot of unprocessed affairs, so that he still had no time to relax on the way back, "Although I still have some doubts, but considering that all of Dr. Kane's ideas so far are quite reliable, I think it's better not to comment before the actual measurement." ”

"I'm not as confident as you are." Tagate sat back in his captain's seat, opened the operating platform at hand, and said while calling up the data of the new ship, "You want to intercept the plasma weapon of the Sijing people with just some missiles?" Is it that easy? Although the planetary assault carrier is far larger than the ground anti-orbital weapon platform in size, it is a multi-purpose platform, not only an artillery ship, but also a series of functional ships such as aircraft carriers, landing ships, and transport ships. Just as the low-orbit probes we once launched into the sun evaporated before they could get close to their intended positions, so could the so-called new missiles. ”

"The so-called new missiles are actually active defense systems that detonate enemy attack weapons before they hit them. That's what it does. Lin Hai paused slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at Targate, and said, "Maybe you're right, but it's not a bad thing to give it a try, and it's not a big loss anyway, but once we succeed, we have added some more victory rate to the Shangsijing people." Of course, I personally hope that these things will work. ”

"Well, maybe I should think about the good too." Tagate shrugged, "We'll be back in Earth's orbit in an hour - the top speed of these Chuantuo classes isn't too high compared to the Sea Behemoth class, but at least it's better than the Higra class, and it doesn't hold us back too much." In addition, the orbital alert fleet that we had deployed when we left had arrived at the coordinates and was on standby. ”

"Standby?" Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, "My order should be for them to provide support for the ground forces, right?" Why is it on standby? ”

"Wait a minute, I'll check the report." Tagate was also surprised, Lin Hai's order was originally conveyed by him to the alert fleet, but now he didn't expect this reply, "It seems that something is wrong, the orbital fleet can't contact the ground forces." ”

"What happened?" Lin Hai opened the electromagnetic lock on the sole of his shoe and stood up, "Could it be that the ground forces will all be wiped out when the space fleet is replaced?" Or can the Sijing people interfere with the communication between our troops again? ”

"The fact that we were able to contact the alert fleet means that the communications were not disrupted, at least not in space, so it is more likely that something unexpected happened on the ground." Tagate skimmed through the report and replied, "So we don't go to Country Y?" Or to the Middle East? ”

"The Commander of the Alert Fleet is one of us, right?" After thinking for a while, Lin Hai asked again, "Contact them and ask them to give me a synchronous observation image of the ground." ”

"No problem."

——————————

Six hours have passed since the rebels began their assault and the fighting has broken out in Kahler, and all the local government forces stationed near Kahler have arrived to support them, and the rebels have committed a large number of troops to try to completely occupy the city, which is located on a major communication route.

However, the nearby GDI base did not move, and did not send a single soldier to the city of Cahl, not even a single air support aircraft. This angered the local government and military leaders, but because of the communication interference, they were unable to lodge a protest or complaint with the GDI and the United Nations.

And Liu Yan's department, which has been staying in the city, because he has not found everyone yet, is equivalent to being trapped in Kahler.

"Boom!" A government M1 tank fired at a pickup truck that was welded all over its body and turned into an armored vehicle, and the high-explosive shells easily blasted the rebel tank back into parts. However, before the tank could turn its turret and prepare to fire another armed pickup truck that was firing at the tank, a ball of light dragged a long column of white smoke from the roof of a nearby three-story building and hit the top of the tank's turret from the sky!

"Boom!" A ball of fire exploded on the turret of the tank, the turret personnel hatch flew up in the firelight, and columns of fire erupted outward from these hatches, and the turret flew into the air in another, more violent explosion!

Those rebel soldiers who fired anti-tank missiles, after a burst of cheers, began to collect their things and prepare to move to the next launch position. It's been two hours since the rebels attacked the government stronghold, but with the M1 there, they haven't made much progress, but when the government tank is destroyed by them, the brothers on the street have a chance.

A tearing sound of air resounded throughout the street, and a blue point of light sank into the roof of the building where the anti-tank team was, and there was no explosion, but the entire roof of the building was torn to pieces under the impact of huge kinetic energy, and the rebel anti-tank team that had not had time to move above fell directly from the roof to the ground outside, several people were either killed or injured, and most of their anti-tank equipment was more or less malfunctioning and could not continue to be used.
