The destroyer gunboats can't withstand the strong attack of the human fleet, and the Sijing people themselves know this, but those gunboats are originally used to cover the departure of higher-level planetary assault motherships after the break, and under the premise that the super mothership has escaped safely at this time, there will be one more planetary assault mothership to escape, and the Sijing people probably also know that humans may have noticed that they have expanded the space dock, and in order to accumulate more capital ships, they naturally have to reduce the number of planetary assault motherships.

Unlike human beings who have a complete knowledge inheritance, they were originally just a group of refugees, due to the lack of relevant technical personnel, so they did not have the ability to design a new type of starship, the design of the planetary assault mothership is already the best capital ship in their hands, so far, the Sijing people can only make some small changes on the basis of the design of the planetary assault mothership, and derive some templates for different purposes.

However, how could the Sijing fleet, which had already been targeted by the human fleet, leave safely as they wished?

In the end, only two of the eight planetary assault motherships invested by the Sijing people successfully escaped through the wormhole, and of the remaining six, two were sunk by the human orbital alert fleet, four by the fleet directly under the human GDI command, and the remaining twenty-two destroyer gunboats were all destroyed, which was a great price.

Of course, on the human side, Lin Hai was not very satisfied with this result. The original purpose of the campaign, the plan to orbitally attack the underground base of the Sijing desert was forced to be suspended, and an already scarce orbital ion cannon platform was also lost, although twenty-eight starships of the Sijing people were eliminated, but for the Sijing people with huge production capacity, it would not be long before they could rebuild a larger fleet.

The most important thing is that the newly obtained news that the Sijing people took advantage of these opportunities in the space war to successfully transfer from the desert base, whether it was personnel, equipment, or materials, the Sijing people were transferred away from the desert base, leaving only an empty shell for the human race, which made it meaningless for the human race to carry out orbital strikes again. How is this not annoying.

"If I had known that this would happen, it would have been better to send out the main force from the beginning to ensure the completion of the bombing plan!" Looking at the results, Lin Hai's face was full of displeasure, he originally planned to take the opportunity of orbital bombing to kill two birds with one stone and kill two birds with one stone to encircle and annihilate the Sijing space fleet, but he didn't want to catch a big fish that couldn't fit in the net. Although it is true that it can be regarded as a bite of the Sijing fleet, the main purpose has not been achieved, and it is still a failure of the plan.

"Sending the main forces directly will not lead them out." Tagate comforted, "After seeing the speed at which the Sijing people build starships, I think we should pay more attention to the adjustment of space forces, right?" ”

"It's too short." Lin Hai shook his head, sat back in his seat, raised the data board in his hand and said, "We have actually been enhancing space armaments, but the development time is too short, it has not been more than two years, but the Sijing people have been developing for at least decades or even hundreds of years. We are developing, the Sijing people are just recovering, we are definitely inferior to them in terms of production speed alone, and the scale of the dock is only afraid of the same, so with our current production level, it is difficult to compete with the Sijing people in the number of fleets, so far, our numerical advantage is in the battles, a large number of consuming the number of the opponent's starships to save themselves before gaining an advantage, so I want to use this opportunity to consume them again. ”

"The consumption plan can actually be regarded as a success, but we didn't expect in advance that the production capacity of the Sijing people was actually stronger than we expected, and the Sijing people actually built more starships than before so quickly." Targate sighed, "I just don't know how many starships they'll build to fight us again." ”

"Yes, that's a big problem." Lin Hai nodded, then called up the orbital star map around the earth on the main projector, pointed to it and said, "Fortunately, at present, our latest model starship still has a certain advantage in quality, and it can suppress the superior Sijing starship in some cases, but this is not a good way to solve the problem, and we still have to find a way to solve the gap between the military strength of the two sides." If our Earth orbital defense platform system is completed...... No, even if only a third of the way is completed, the actions of those Sijing people will be greatly affected. If the Space Fortress can be completed, we will have a lot more mobile forces at our disposal, and even if the production rate of the Sjing Starships is doubled, we will have enough troops to deal with them. ”

"But then we need to pay attention to more things." Tagate cocked up his finger and said, "First, build a large number of starships and train the necessary manpower; second, the construction and defense of space fortresses; Thirdly, the construction of orbital defense platforms. These three points require us to use all our strength to complete, and they also require a lot of resources, just like the three gold-swallowing behemoths, and the Sijing people only need to concentrate their resources on one item. So they are produced faster than we do. ”

"That's true, so we have to think about whether we need to prioritize one goal as the main goal to conserve resources and improve progress." Looking at the constantly beating color blocks on the hologram, Lin Hai said, "Don't look at us now, it seems that we have the entire earth as the base camp to obtain resources, but the Sijing people use the entire solar system as the rear, and in terms of resource acquisition rate, they are only afraid that they are stronger than us." We've got to focus on one thing first. ”

"If so, how about finishing the Space Fortress first?" Quett raised his hand and pointed to the green point of light between the earth and the moon on the holographic projection and said, "Don't look at the orbital defense platform project is not comparable to the space fortress, but the resources and engineering amount required for all the projects are far beyond the fortress, if you want to spread the defense platform all over the earth's high and low orbits, it is a super project, it is impossible to complete it for a while, why don't you transfer all the resources of this plan to the space fortress plan first, and complete the construction of the fortress first?" After all, the Space Fortress is not only a fortress defense, it is also responsible for the docking and maintenance of the fleet, as well as the role of the Earth-Moon transportation transfer, allowing our fleet to travel between the Earth and the Moon in a faster and more economical way - the large transportation station built by the Global Defense Force at Lagrange Point in the past played this role, and we are now only making the transportation station more combat-capable. As for the space fleet, IMHO, it is a project that requires continuous investment, and it is impossible to stop the development of constantly updating the starship model and expanding the number, so there is no end at all, and there is no delay, but because of the expansion of the Sijing people, we have invested more resources in it. ”

"You're right." Lin Hai patted Tagate, "The moon base, due to the difficulties in defense, cannot expand more docks for the time being, they only have ten production lines now, so I plan to ask them to produce all the Behemoth-class heavy cruisers, and a few maintenance bays there are used to transform the old Kodiak-class." Although the Higra-class does not have the ability to navigate in the atmosphere, because of its smaller size, the reusable propulsion rocket provided by Dr. Kane can launch the destroyers produced on the ground into space with an orbital launch platform. As long as there are many production lines on the ground, even if the Sijing people destroy them, they will not destroy all of them, and it will not affect the production speed, but will increase the production speed because it is easier to obtain materials for production on the ground. ”

"But aren't you afraid that those countries on the ground will learn the technology of starship manufacturing from us?" Tagate wondered, "If we want to produce starships on Earth, we will definitely not be able to control all the production lines, so how can we ensure that others do not use those starships that are not launched by our production lines to stab us in the back?" ”

"Don't worry, I've already talked to Dr. Kane, and he'll revise the blueprints again, so that the production of those destroyers won't be too difficult, as long as those countries have the ability to build surface ships, they will be able to build Higra-class destroyers." Lin Hai waved his hand and said with some smugness, "Despite this, there are not too many countries on the earth that can produce the Higra-class, and they will not learn much from the construction of the Higra-class starship." The most important thing is that non-GDI made starships, they can only manufacture hulls and reserved pipelines, as well as a few air defense systems that can be manufactured by themselves with the technology of various countries, and the most important power system and main weapon system of a starship will be provided and installed. I think you should know the difference between producing an entire starship and producing several of its systems. Due to the modular production, it is not a hassle to install those missing systems, and the results of computer deductions confirm that the efficiency has improved in terms of production speed alone. ”

"So cannon fodder ships are produced by those countries on the ground, and we only need to provide key equipment and produce high-end starships?"

"Exactly."

"It's okay." Listening to Lin Hai's plan, Tagai nodded his head, indicating that he approved of the plan, and then he asked, "But we can't win this war with cannon fodder ships alone, and we still need stronger equipment." Although the Sea Behemoth-class seems to be good enough to take on the planetary assault mothership of the Sjer, in my opinion, this is only a mutual destruction capability, and even if the Sjald people are not capable of designing a new ship, they can still make some improvements to the old blueprints. Didn't that Sijing captive say it? They have that ability. In my opinion, the Planetary Assault Mothership has halved the number of carrier-based aircraft, and the space vacated is used to increase shield generators, armor, and power sources, and it will not be so easy for sea behemoths to face them again. ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Lin Hai and said in a solemn tone, "We need a starship with higher performance. It's not just for the Sijing people......"
