Listening to the slogans shouted by the remnants of the Pro-Guard who were destroyed in an instant on the other side on the public channel, Captain Macross, who was from the Zeon Moon Mobile Fleet, lowered the brim of his hat and covered his eyes. "Zeon...... Helmsman, let's go home. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, this is a report sent back by our reporter from the Jupiter Colony Dock......"
In Gabro's cafeteria, Ian and a bunch of researchers are struggling hot, and the cafeteria TV is playing a report on the Jupiter Dockyard.
"What a man...... Structural hard-carrying nuclear bomb...... Hey, don't grab the meat! β
"How's the poll going on with the listening system? Also, has the source of the rumors been found? The President of the Bundestag turned off the television and asked the senior officials in the room. If you look closely, the current federal cake layer is basically young and middle-aged people under the age of 35. Ideas and imagination can't keep up with the development of the federation, and the veteran politicians over the age of 45 basically take the initiative to let or be made virtuous.
"Now, there is no clear conclusion, but according to the statistics of the last 1 hour, the people now have confidence in the safety of the colony ship, but they have a big opinion on the captain of the colony ship...... Think this captain is a bit ...... Mangal. β
"Cut...... It was this group of people who said that the colony ship did not resist the beating, and they resisted the beating and said that the captain was reckless...... If you can do this, go to the construction site and lift the bar. β
"Don't talk nonsense, do a good job of public opinion statistics as soon as possible, we can't let people with an unstable mentality get on the colonial ship. Also, the current public opinion statistics can already count the data within 1 hour? β
"It's an informal survey now, and the investigator is Xiao X's classmates, SXRX, Tian X elf, these family intelligence systems, data analysis is carried out according to the words of citizens when chatting, and the analysis is carried out by pure computer intelligence to identify keywords, although there will be errors but not too big."
"Well, how's the verification of the border-class colony ship?"
"Now a 5-kilometer-long verification ship is conducting navigation experiments, and ecosystem experiments are being carried out in the Nevaa Desert and the Taklamakan Desert for Biosphere 8 and Biosphere 9, and 10,000 volunteers are stationed in each of the two laboratories to conduct completely closed biosphere material cycle experiments."
"That said, will it take some time for border-level verification? Why can SDF-class colonial ships pass the acceptance so quickly? β
"Because the ecological material circulation of SDF-class colonial ships uses chemical methods, such as oxygen, the carbon dioxide exhaled by the ship's crew is chemically decomposed into carbon monoxide and oxygen or directly decomposed into carbon and oxygen, which is also the way used by general colonies, and the plants in the ship only play a decorative role. As for the border-level ecosphere, the designers believe that the large amount of jungle on the main island should be able to handle more than half of the air circulation functions. β
"There is also food, and the SDF level uses large-scale hydroponic farms to grow crops, and fish and food animals are raised and bred in factory breeding plants. The shortfall is made up by synthetic meat produced in the ship's food factory. At the border level, animals and plants are cultivated and cultivated in a relatively traditional way, and of the 34 sub-islands, 20 are for agriculture, 10 are for animal husbandry, 2 are for industry and 2 are for tourism. Although there are also food processing factories and hydroponic farms on the main island, they are used as a contingency in the event that all the secondary islands are destroyed. The food inside the ship is usually supplied entirely by the sub-island of agriculture and animal husbandry. β
"Is that mean, border-level, more natural?"
"The think tank believes that a more natural scenery can make the members of the colonial ship group have a better mentality, and the residents of the SDF class may have negative emotions after 30 years due to the closure of their living environment."
"Well, what about the estimated departure time of the Kissilian Ship Regiment?"
"It is expected that in 5 years, the 4 colony ships of the Cycilian Ship Regiment are expected to be able to accommodate all residents in 2 years, and the escort ship Cycilia has a certain dispute with the Granada side."
"Dispute?"
"There are two options given by the Granada side, one is a 500-meter warship based on the Lyulula class, and the other is a new type of warship with a newly designed square hull equipped with six main guns, all of which are on the central axis. But Kissilia is not satisfied, she prefers to purchase enterprise-class warships from the Federation, but if Zeon purchases the main battleship that has been beating Zeon, the Zeon army may be unstable internally, so Kissilia wants Granada to design a battleship that does not look like an enterprise-class from the outside, but the performance is no worse than that of the enterprise-class. β
"That's really ...... What happened to the Coalition's colony ship escort fleet? It feels like there's been no news for a long time, didn't you still clamored for a new type of warship before? β
"Colonel Ian and Gabro's designers are working on the design of a new 1,600-meter class battleship and an 8,000-meter factory fortress ship, which the Federal Space Force is looking forward to. In addition, the Luna II and von Brown's Anaheim are working together on a 400-meter-class variable warship, so that there will be both a conventional fleet and a new concept fleet, and the Federation will only have to wait for the new ship to be developed. "General Gerp tactically leaned back, and he has been happy.
The speaker raised his eyebrows, "How many meters?" β
β8000οΌ1600γβ
"If I'm not mistaken, the Federation's main battleship 3 years ago was only 340 meters, right?"
"That's right, the first Magellan class 340 meters."
"Last year's enterprise class was 470 meters, right?"
"Well, although the late type has expanded to 600 meters, the early type is really 470 meters."
"So why did the size of the next-generation warship directly expand to more than 1,600 meters? It's not a colony ship again! The Speaker threw the pen in his hand directly on the table. Budgets are limited! Is the price of a 1600-meter battleship comparable to that of a 600-meter battleship! β
"Speaker, times have changed."
"Huh?"
"After the use of nanobots, the 1,600-meter class warship is less than 10 million US dollars more expensive than the 600-meter class warship, and after completing the initial accumulation of the number of nanorobots, the cost of building the battleship is only the cost of raw materials and transportation of raw materials."
"Really...... So is military spending ......"
"Huh...... The Federation's 3 immigrant fleets and their escort fleets, plus the rebuilding of the Federation's Third Fleet, the ships of the First and Second Fleets are supplemented, and the Federation will build more than 1,200 combat ships and more logistics ships next, you must know that the construction of the escort fleet is undertaken by the Federation Army. β
"Yes, let's do it for now. When will the Federation's first colonial fleet depart? β
"It is expected that the transfer of personnel will be completed in 8 years, and the construction of the fleet will be completed in 1 0 years, and the voyage will begin with the goal of New Eden 2, 17 light years away. If it's suitable for colonization, land on the spot, if not, rest, gather resources, and then turn around and head towards the Great Magellanic Cloud. β
"Aren't you exploring the galaxy?"
"The 3rd Migrant Ship Group is a new technology research and development ship group invested by major enterprises on the earth, and this ship group is equipped with the latest equipment developed by various large enterprises, including but not limited to the latest jump engine and the GP series next-generation MS developed by Anaheim."
"Of course, the main reason is that the heirs of those big companies want to go to the Magellan Nebula to find the legendary Iskander."
ββ¦β¦ Iskander? Why don't you say they went to Gamilas. β(β―Β°β‘Β°οΌβ―οΈ΅β»ββ»
"So, is there enough fuel?"
"According to calculations, it is enough in the absence of a battle, but in order to prevent problems, the regiment will not make an ultra-long-range jump until the end of the ultra-long-range jump experiment. What's more, the ultra-long-range jump engine has not yet been developed. β
"Do you want to sail 190,000 light-years before the development is complete?"
"Anyway, with the application of nanorobot construction technology, it is not a problem for ships to change their equipment in battle, let alone change their jump engines." The technical staff officer pushed his glasses up and smiled.
After this meeting, the Federation began to fully implement the colonization plan, and in just one year, 10 million suitable families in the Earth Circle were selected and targeted training began.
Two years later, in the year 0083 of the cosmic century, the Border-class colony ship No. 1 and No. 2 were built and jumped to low-earth orbit, and then the No. 1 ship landed in the Pacific Ocean, and the immigrants from East Asia began to move to the ship. Half a day later, the second ship landed in the Atlantic, and the migration of migrants from the European and American parts began to move.
In the same year, the 8,000-meter-class fortress ship Behemoth-class and the 1,600-meter-class heavy battleship Nibelungen-class were completed and began operational tests in the orbit of Jupiter.
In the same year, 15 of the 2,000-meter-class space industry ship Industry 1 were built in Martian orbit and incorporated into the Zeon Migrant Fleet in Kissilia.
In 0084, the 800-meter-class fleet battleship developed by Granada entered the test stage, and in the same year, the Doros 2 space carrier, which was enlarged to 1,200 meters, was put into service, and at the same time, Doros 2 also served as a production plant for fighters and escort boats for the Zeon fleet.
In 0087, the fleet of the First Immigration Ship Regiment of the Federation contracted by Zeon was completed. In the same year, Casbar became the president of the 1st Colony Regiment, and Dozru became the commander of the fleet of the 1st Colony Regiment, and the 1st Colony Regiment set sail to New Eden, a terrestrial planet 17 light-years away, amid the onlookers of thousands of civilian ships and cheers resounding through the public channel.
Among the onlookers, the Dawn Sword was also among them. Ian watched from the observation bridge as the immigrant fleet consisting of four SDF-type colonies and an escort fleet consisting of nearly a hundred battleships, dozens of large industrial ships, more than a dozen large aircraft carriers, and four large Nibelungen-class battleships slowly began to accelerate.
"Won't you come with them, Lord Kisilia."
"I haven't decided whether or not to stay away from the Earth's Sphere, Lord Ian. I talked to Reybil and them for a while, and I heard that you were leaving too? β
"Well, it's been two years, and when something happens, I'll withdraw. Anyway, the Earth's circle is on the right track, and I don't need to watch here. β
"Where are you going? Exploring the outer universe? β
"Get out of this world."
βοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
"What did the Federation do to you?! What can't you think of?! β
ββ¦β¦ I'm not gone, I'm going to the next world, across the world, you know? β
ββ¦β¦ Is Dr. Minovsky's theory true? Parallel worlds? β
ββ¦β¦ Haven't met it. But if I really want to say it, several worlds I've been to have a high degree of similarity in history, and it's okay for you to say that they are parallel worlds. β
"Can we go out and see it in our lifetime?"
"I don't know, the core of the cross-world engine is gravity sub technology, and when the gravity sub technology is developed enough to develop an artificial wormhole, the cross-world engine will be successfully developed."
"Hmm."
Ian stopped talking when he saw that Kysilia was finished, and he didn't bother to talk after him. Just with his hands behind his back, he quietly watched the beginning of the first voyage of mankind in this world.
Ten minutes later, the high-power jump engine equipped with the colony ship opened the fleet-level jump channel, and the fleet gradually disappeared into a pale green light curtain.
"Let's go, let's go too. Captain, change the line, lower Gabro. β
